:I don't own Inuyasha:

Just to tell ya, I'm NOT a whole InuXKik or SessXKag fan... actually I HATE it. InuXKag 4ever!

So I made this story a couple years ago BEFORE I heard there was a "Final Act", so excuse me if I unknowingly changed the plot a bit ^_^

Here, read this. Hope you like it :)

Chapter 1, Kikyo's Question

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were sleeping quietly by the tree of ages at 3 in the morning. It was the new moon, the night Inuyasha was human. Inuyasha was on the branch of the tree, with Kagome on his chest. Except for the shining stars, everything was pitch black. Inuyasha was still awake, thinking about Kikyo.

When will I see her again? It's been so long, is she dead? She better not be. Damn that Naraku...

Inuyasha saw two of the largest stars he's ever seen. Right there was his chance to make a wish.

I wish I could see Kikyo again.

The stars came closer as if they were metiers. Inuyasha jumped from the tree and set Kagome down with Sango, Miroku and Shippo. Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsusaiga, also brightening the night. But before he could slash his sword, the two lights that he thought were demons were Kikyo's shikigomi. Inuyasha slid back his sword. The shikigomi flew closer and landed on the soft wet grass.

Kikyo's shikigomi?

Inuyasha krept closer.

It HAS to be them. They've got Kikyo's scent all over them.

Inuyasha covered his eyes from the soft glow of their aura. Soon enough, their light died and they bowed to him.

"Inuyasha, lady Kikyo wishes to see you." Was all they said before they flew away to the sky. Inuyasha had no idea they just came here unexpectedly but he tried to follow Kikyo's scent. It was coming from the tall grassy hill next to Kaede's village. Inuyasha quickly smirked.

"What a coincidence. So my wish came true after all."

He ran and ran and tried to follow Kikyo's scent. He hated being human, trying to run a long way. After he panted continuously, he found Kikyo. Her soul catchers above her giving her souls. The soul catchers light made it seem like morning other than dead straight in night. Inuyasha walked over to her and sat by her.

"Hey, Kikyo. How are you doing? Are you feeling okay?" Inuyasha asked with the most helpful tone he could give. Kikyo giggled at his question.

"No need to worry, Inuyasha, I'm doing fine. My soul catchers will keep me alive for now." Inuyasha looked up and saw the bright soul catchers, as if they were a shining adamant chandelier.

"For now? What do you mean by that?" Inuyasha panicked.

"If Naraku stays out of my way, he won't kill me, starting with not killing the soul catchers." Kikyo laid her head on Inuyasha's shoulder. Inuyasha did gasp, but he liked it.

"Inuyasha, if I ask you this... can you tell me your most honest answer?" Kikyo whispered softly next to Inuyasha's ear.

"Uhhh... sure. Anything for you."

"Inuyasha, do you... still want to be a human? For me?" Inuyasha suddenly froze. The usual thing he always does when Kagome says something inexplicably strange. He melted and tried to focus on the subject.

"I uhh..." Inuyasha paused. "I actually do. You do know that I love you Kikyo." Kikyo smiled. She seemed to like that response. Even though she already knew he would say it.

"Inuyasha, thank you... for everything. Now go. Please, I don't want to be a bother." Kikyo closed her eyes as if she was about to go to sleep.

"What? But that was only a couple minutes! You want me to go now?" Inuyasha desperately asked.

"Yes. I need a lot of rest for tomorrow."

"What are you gonna do?"

"I'll just-" Kikyo stopped and thought for a minute. "Please just go now Inuyasha." Inuyasha nodded and stood up. But before he could run back to the tree hoping that his friends aren't wandering around looking for him, he looked back and saw Kikyo with her eyes closed.

"Kikyo, you awake?" Inuyasha whispered. Kikyo nodded. "I just want to ask you a question. If I'll turn into a human and be with you, then what'll happen to Kagome?" Kikyo didn't answer anything. Thinking that Kikyo was fast asleep, Inuyasha just shook his head and ran back.

Kikyo wasn't asleep, but she needed rest... for tomorrow.

What was Kikyo planning to do tomorrow?

Kikyo wakes up in the middle of the night, and goes off early in the night for her secret plan!
