Author's Corner!!

Shi-chan: Okies, here's a little prologue for a story in which I think might be pretty interesting. Please tell me what you think. ^^

Kikyou: It's about time you wrote a fanfiction that I am in!!

Shi-chan: Maybe. ^^ That doesn't necessarily mean it'll be good.

Kikyou: Nani?!

Shi-chan: I'm an active anti-Kikyou-ist!

Kikyou: -_-'' Hater

***NOTE*** This WILL end up Kagome/Inuyasha, so Kikyou/Inuyasha fans, I recommend not getting your hopes up. I'm not a fan of the priestess. ^^;; She bugs the crap out of me...

Prologue: The Reality of the Reason

The hanyou had his arms wrapped around the futuristic girl. Her head was lying on his chest, and she was crying. Miroku had just gotten wounded in a battle with a youkai, and his kazaana had widened. It had upset the whole group, but Sango wanted to be alone with the monk. Shippou was out with Kaede and Myouga to collect some food from the fields, so Kagome and Inuyasha were having one of those fluffy moments with only themselves.

"Kagome-chan..." Inuyasha started, his face slightly pink. The raven- haired girl looked up and wiped some tears from her eyes. "Daijobu, Inuyasha-chan?" She asked, her eyebrows furrowed together. The hanyou nodded and cleared his throat, continuing on, "Daijobu. Demo... I have something I've been meaning to tell you for a while. Since we're constantly with Shippou, Sango, and Miroku, this is the only chance I've gotten." Kagome nodded slowly in response, and leaned in a bit closer.

"I think that... I'm in," before Inuyasha could finish his sentence, the pair turned to look behind them. Kagome sensed Kikyou's presence, and Inuyasha could smell her. "What do you want with us now, Kikyou?" The hanyou hissed, thoroughly upset that each time he attempted to tell Kagome about how he felt for her, they were interrupted. He still loved Kikyou, of course, but those feelings had fallen beneath those for the miko's reincarnate. He wasn't pleased about the woman's intrusion.

Kikyou stepped out and merely smirked and replied, "What were you going to tell the wench who's taken my place, I wonder? That you love her?" Inuyasha grit his teeth and shot back, "I *was* actually. I did love you Kikyou, but since it's your hate and everything that keeps your body going... There wouldn't be any point in dwelling in the past, ne?" The miko's eyes went wide for a moment, but she regained her posture quickly and curled her fists into balls.

"Perhaps at first it was my hate for you which kept me thriving, but what do you think it is now, hanyou?!" She screamed, her collected mask falling.

Kagome could see what was going on here, and she suddenly knew why Kikyou was hurt. It wasn't that she hated Inuyasha in the least anymore... The reincarnate found herself feeling very depressed. It was as though her and Kikyou were one at the moment. All of the priestess' thoughts were coursing through the teenage girl, and tears were spilling down her cheeks. Her happiness and the fulfillment of her dream of being with Inuyasha were causing the downfall of another. That was something that she couldn't stand. Inuyasha still loved her pre-incarnate, did he not? Perhaps allowing him to be with Kikyou would be for the better... Kagome had no idea as to whether or not she should be saying anything.

Inuyasha furrowed his eyebrows together in confusion and yelled, "I have no idea what it is if you don't hate me, Kikyou! You act as though that's the reason so I can't imagine anything else causing all this trauma..."

The miko looked to the ground, her eyes closed and a smile plastered across her face. "I despise the relationship that you and the wench with my soul so obviously share!! Had you not come to love her more than me, I might've gotten over being angry, and believed you... Maybe my love for you could've been my motivation to live! But no, of course not! You had to ruin it for us yet again, half-breed!!" Her screams filled the air and birds flew from the trees, fleeing for elsewhere, where they might get peace.

Kikyou suddenly looked up from the ground, anger filling her eyes. She looked first at Inuyasha, whose expression stated shock, but then turned to Kagome. The raven-haired girl backed up a ways and murmured, "It's so unfair," just as the miko before her yelled, "IT'S SO UNFAIR!!" With that, Kikyou charged straight at the schoolgirl as fast as she possibly could.

The hanyou's eyes went wide and he turned just in time to see the miko pull Kagome up against herself, as through she were attempting to smother her. (Kikyou probably usually would've finished her off with an arrow, but she didn't have any with her and since Kagome uses enchanted arrows also, there most likely wouldn't be any affect ^^)

Before Inuyasha could do anything to stop what was going on however, the girl from the future started to appear transparent, and the priestess on top of her began to glow an odd color. The Shikon no Tama, which had been placed fully together only several days beforehand, broke off of the chain on Kagome's neck. It started to illuminate and shake, as though fulfilling one of the women's wishes.

The pair was rolling around frantically, and quickly nearing the edge of the cliff they were on. The half-human man ran to them, trying to pull Kagome away from Kikyou, but to no avail. His hands fell straight through them both. Just as they began to fall off the cliff, he could hear both their voices mutter, "INUYASHA," at the same time, but he could only see one body.

Author's Corner!!

Shi-chan: Wow, that was pretty hard!! This is the first fanfiction in which I've ever had to use Kikyou in such depth, and keeping her in character is harder than I thought it'd be!! I'm SOOOOO sorry if she's OOC at all. Anyways, I know this is a little weird and everything, but I promise I'll explain everything as the story furthers. :) Remember, this will end up Inuyasha/Kagome, even though Kagome's conveniently missing.

Sesshoumaru: I can't believe you're doing an Inuyasha fanfiction in which I am not mentioned... I though you were an obsessed otaku-shoujo.

Shi-chan: Aw, Fluffy-sama, of course I am! *glompz him* Which is why you'll be in EVERYTHING AUTHOR'S NOTE!!

Sesshoumaru: Joy... *insert sarcasm here*

Shi-chan: I dunno... Maybe I'll find a way to weave you into the storyline! Ne?

Sesshoumaru: *falls over, dead*
