AN: DONT OWN INUYASHA...
She was wandering... not looking where she was going but following where her feet took her. Confusion was deeply on her mind... Thoughts of betrayal, pain, and loneliness...
Why Inuyasha, why do you haunt me... she spoke softly, was it because of my hate... or because you found a new love...
She could never understand the torment she continued to endure. The hatred the feed her body's life, the unexplainable rage, that continued to boil within her chest. She could see that her soul would never find a peaceful rest.
Her demise was from what she was to protect, and at the hands of who she thought was one she loved. No her life had been sad, and lonely.
She spoke with a longing... All, I wished was to be an ordinary woman... to live and be happy with Inuyasha...
She felt a wetness on her cheeks, she looked to the sky thinking it had started to rain. The sun, shone brightly with a warm comforting light. She slowly lifted her hand and touched her face.
Tear, she whispered, Am I mourning for my death, or the half life I now am...
She had for such at time been strong. In her eyes all you could see was a coldness, full of hatred, and bitterness. Now, there was sadness and a longing to be free of her hatred, that chained her to walk this earth.
Tear after tear kept falling, and she allowed herself just this once, to let her walls crumble. To be an ordinary woman as much as she could. She allowed herself to not be bitter or feel the hatred flowing through her body...
She softly whispered, Bitter hopes slowly dying, Deep inside I am crying, Hatred slowly taking over me, Wandering endlessly, Through the valleys, Slowly fading...
Then as quickly as it started, her tears stopped. Her eyes hardened with hatred and bitterness. Her hand came up roughly and wipped away unwanted tears.
Then the priestess Kikyou, continued on her journey, to wander trying to find peace. As she passed the God Tree, she stopped and spoke tenderly, to die is to live, to live is to die...
