This is just a little one shot about my favorite character, Kikyo. I just think she doesn't get half the respect she deserves. A lot of people hate her and I think that's just because they don't understand her. So here you go, enjoy.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I loved you since the first time I met you. You were so serious back then…well, at least you tried to be. Yet you still managed to make me laugh. You were after the jewel, of course. You had no intention of being friendly with me, let alone falling in love. But that's the thing with love. Once you start to fall, you can't fight it...oh but you tried. Maybe the reason I liked you so much is because you were so much like me. We were both so different from everyone else. You denied how this made us alike but I think you knew the truth deep inside. We were both outsiders…I wanted freedom, you wanted acceptance.
This simple object…the curse of my life, was your only hope. It was this jewel that brought us together, and ultimately, tore us apart. How happy I was that day when I you told me you had decided to use it to become human. It was like a dream come true! Not only was I going to be freed from my duties, protecting and purifying the jewel, but I was also going to spend the rest of my life with the one boy I loved! Yet as fate would have it, this was not to be. Instead I was tricked and betrayed. You took the jewel from me, to use it for yourself. In my anger I came after you. And I killed you in my spite. But as the blood dripped from my shoulder, tears fell from my eyes. You were my one and only love; I would not let you die alone.
No, I could have saved myself right then and there. I could have gotten the freedom I craved and let you die. But my heart was breaking in my chest. I couldn't, no; instead I would die with you. I would take the accursed thing with me to my grave.
But that was so long ago. I thought I could rest. But no, there was no rest for me, not even in death. And I was brought back to face the light of this cruel and unjust world. Then I saw you. And you saw me. I was furious. I died for your sake and you were still alive? That wasn't fair. Not only were you alive but you also had another girl by your side. While I wept in my grave you had fallen for another girl. And not just any girl; you fell for the girl with my face. How could this be? Just because she had my smile, she replaced me just like that? But you claim different. You say no one could replace me. Yet whom do you hold on these cold lonely nights? Not me…you left me here with nothing. Then I find that it was not you who betrayed me. We were tricked…all because of some stupid jewel. So now I decide to take my revenge. I will kill Naraku for destroying what could have been. But I wont just make him pay. I will take my revenge on the whole world for what it did to me.
Then there's you. Caught and confused by the feelings in your heart. It's her, or me, Inu yasha. So whom will you choose? I already know whom you'll choose. Not me, because I'm dead. But that's not fair! Its your fault I'm dead! It's your love I died for! Her eyes sparkle with life, just like mine used to. Now my eyes are cold and dark from crying a thousand tears. But no matter what I do or where I go, I just can't forget you. I try but your all I have left. I'm sorry for being human, I'm sorry for getting mad. But why? Why is it so unfair? Let me say this…I will always love you. Deep in my heart there is nothing that can change that. And no matter who it is by your side…I'll always be here…
