AN: I thought this would be a cool idea, a way to somewhat hopefully make people realize my love for both Kagome and Kikyo.
Disclaimer: I cannot in any way whatsoever receive profits for this fic. I do not own Inuyasha.
Kikyo's thoughts
I know why you love him. You love him for the same reasons that I do. He's strong and protective, loyal and has a pain in his heart that you wish you could alleviate. I am not angry with you for loving him because I am sure if any woman looks into his eyes to understand his story they would also grow to love him.
I am angry because he also loves you. Loving you while he was supposed to be loving me. I am angry because our love could not have been explored. I am angry with Naraku for dividing the love he and I shared. I am angry with Inuyasha for finding someone else. I however am probably most angry with myself, for had I trusted him in the way that love suggests, then he and I would have been together for eternity.
I am jealous of you Kagome, truly jealous. His face, which at one point held no trust and so much pain, has become softer, more expressive and loving. I am jealous because you were the one to cause those feelings, to heal his heart. It would've been my job, my accomplishment, the adoration for ME on his face. I am jealous now because even as he comes for me, you are a constant thought on his mind. I once asked if you were more important to him than me and I am glad that the question remained unanswered.
I have no desire to hurt you any longer. For now I know that if you were to be hurt than my love would be hurt and I wish not to hurt him. You and he are connected, you and I are connected. There would be no you without me and there can be no me without you.
So I accept your love for him and I accept his love for you. My time in this world is limited and I wish for him not to hurt any longer. I wish for one favor however, care for him.
Kagome's thoughts
I love him, possibly more than anyone I've ever met. It burns deeply, more deep than I could have ever imagined. I have been pursued before, more times than I wish. However, there is no love stronger than the love I have for him.
I am a jealous woman, truly jealous. So jealous of you, Kikyo, and the love that you and Inuyasha once shared. I often find myself thinking that I am glad that Naraku deceived you both. For that is the only reason I met a love this strong. I know I may seem evil for having those thoughts and I wish that I didn't feel that way but matters of the heart are strong. It is so strong that I have accepted being number two, although in every "affair" I've had I was number one.
I understand that I cannot divide the love between the two of you and have no desire to do so any longer. I know that I can never come between the love shared between firsts, a love that burns so deeply that it had to be shared with a second life – my life.
So I accept your love for him and I accept his love for you. No matter what happens from this point, I will always ensure he is happy and cared for.
Inuyasha's thoughts
Love is a confusing emotion. I'd rather much find myself fighting than doing it. However, I love two women for different reasons. Kikyo was the first and at one point the only. She accepted me for who I was and who I could be. We had such a kinship being outcasts from society and finding solace only in each other. The love was strong that I would've done anything for her, including becoming a human. I would've protected her forever, I would've explored that love forever….
Kagome is the sweetest girl I have ever met. She's shed tears for my sake and I find myself being so relaxed when she was around. I can be free, to fight, laugh, love. I dread the pain that I sometimes cause her. However, I cannot shy for the love I felt before.
I don't wish to hurt either of them anymore although I can't make a decision. I do know one thing however; I will always protect and care for them.
Please read and review. Let me know what you think. And as always thanks for any reviews/favorites.
