A/N: I have recently found one of my boyfriends cd's and read the lyrics to all the songs. Many of them reminded me of characters from InuYasha. So I have decided to try and write a few short stories pertaining to those songs. It's rather funny what will give you inspiration for these things. Enjoy!
CD: shallow life
Artist: LACUNA COIL
Not Enough
~o0o~
I don't want to be saved, I wanna go down with you
Together we will find a way to come back
*I thought it was too late
I thought you disappeared
It's been a while since I believed in you
I used to have the strength
I used to just walk away
But now that I see you
It's not enough
I don't want to be saved, I wanna go down with you
Together we will find a way to come back
*I'm falling once again
I'm following the way
Nothing's changed since I believed in you
I knew that you would come
I thought that I'd be afraid
But now that I have you
It's not enough
I don't want to be saved, I wanna go down with you
Together we will find a way to come back
Forgotten fears I throw away
All of the caution out into the wind
My soul is thirsty
And I'm dreaming of you
Get out of my mind (come back)
I don't want to be saved, I wanna go down with you
Together we will find a way to come back
I don't want to be saved, I wanna give in to you
Together we will find a way to come back

Kikyo stood at the edge overlooking the small group of travelers.
She felt cold as she watched her erstwhile lover sitting among the group, mocking the little kitsune youkai that sat near her reincarnation.
Kikyo's nose screwed up in distaste as she caught the sound of said woman's voice rising in irritation towards her hanyo. That's right. My hanyo. She thought with a dry chuckle.
Her imitation would never have the place she had in Inuyasha's heart. Too much had occurred between them now.
Kikyo moved into the slight breeze. Inuyasha sniffed the air turning in her direction. She knew he would come.
Inuyashas' golden eyes shifted as he faced the cliffs behind them. Kagome grew quiet, a sad look crossed her face for a moment.
Just then Inuyasha stood and took off in a running jump, ricocheting off the cliffs' protruded face until he reached the top.
The others in the group turned their sympathetic eyes back to Kagome only to find her walking in the other direction.
"Lady Kagome?" Miroku said standing.
"I am going to the river for water Miroku. Don't worry." She said with a slight waver in her voice.
"Of course. Take your time Kagome." Sango said with a nod.
She disappeared into the night as the others sighed.
"InuYasha no Baka." Shippo spat throwing a stick into the fire. Kirara mewed in agreement.

Above the camp Inuyasha had found the undead priestess sitting on a fallen log deeper into the forest.
"Kikyo." He said in a near reverent whisper.
"InuYasha."
"It's been a while."
"Yes. I had to come. I… wanted to see you." Kikyo stood as she spoke.
Inuyasha shifted, his eyes a burnished gold in the moonlight.
Then in a moment they were in each others arms.
"I want to save you Kikyo, so we can be together."
Kikyo stiffened. "I don't want to be saved, InuYasha. I will fulfill my promise and drag you to hell with me."
Inuyasha pushed her away from him, still gripping her arms. "Kikyo."
"We will find a way to come back, and be together for ever. I just need the other piece of my soul InuYasha."
He never saw the mists enveloping them, filling his lungs.
His eyes had softened with a glazed look as he held her close once more.
"I want to believe in you. I thought it was too late. I would do anything for you Kikyo."
The clay-made Miko smiled with malice. "Then help me InuYasha. Help me… kill Kagome."
A/N: The * denotes the male vocals, the rest are female.
I thought it apropos to Kikyo's situation.
