I got this idea from watching the ending of episode 148, The Tragic Love Song of Destiny. It was so sad and I thought, good place for a short story. I know, what is it with ONESHOTS and me? Oh well, here you go. Enjoy!

A Final Farewell

Why? That's all I want to know before I leave this world.

Why had Inuyasha used me in order to steal the Shikon no Tama?

Why had he tricked me with his lies about wanting to live with me?

I was ready.

I was ready to become a normal woman and forfeit being a miko in order to be with him.

Before I met Inuyasha, I was a powerful miko whose only purpose was to protect the Shikon no Tama from demons and humans with filthy souls. It was my destiny and I should have accepted it. But I now regret everything I have ever said and done since the day I had met Inuyasha.

You betrayed me and lied to me in order to become a full-fledged demon.

Now Inuyasha, I have sealed you to the tree of ages for all eternity. Never again shall you see this earth or even take one breath. You shall never touch this Shikon No Tama, and neither shall anyone else.

For now I journey to the netherworld but before I leave, I shall take the Shikon no Tama with me to the other world, so that no demon can ever possess it. And when I do that, this jewel will become one with my ashes and shall never touch the ground of this earth. Why me though?

"This jewel is the cause of my misery; Kaede, take the Sacred Jewel and burn it with my body." Sleep well my love, for even in death, I will always watch over you. No one shall have you, for I shall watch over your soul. We shall see each other in hell.

Goodbye.

This pains me and so does this wound you caused me. But I shall bear it and die fighting with my final breath.

I will see you in the next world, my dog demon Inuyasha.
