A/N: what if Kikyo didn't choose to die with Inuyasha. What would happen then? This is my story.

The young miko stood up. It didn't hurt too much. She glanced at Inuyasha.
"Damn him. I rather not die for him." The villagers came towards her. "Lady Kikyo what happened?" She couldn't hear them all at once.
She could barely stand up. "Sister Kikyo!" Her little sister Kaede came running towards her
"Kaede please don't worry." She saw the worried look on her face.
She glanced one more time at Inuyasha. He had it coming. He did it to himself. She was hurt on her shoulder but it wasn't serious as she thought.
She had used to the jewel to spare her life. How could he? She thought.

She began walking toward her hut. Everyone was shouting at her to stop.
"Please Lady Kikyo! You will hurt yourself even more." She looked back.
"Don't worry about me much." Kaede ran after her. She didn't want her older sister to die.
Kikyo finally made it to the hut. "Sister you need to treat your wounds." She ran ahead of her.
"I know. That's what I am planning to do." She laid down. Kaede went out to fetch the plants. Kikyo waited for her to return.
Inuyasha, That's what Kikyo was thinking about. She didn't notice Kaede come in. "Sister, let me treat your wounds." She slid off her Yukata. Kaede finished treating her wound.
"Thank you Kaede." Kikyo put her Yukata back on. "Sister what happened to Inuyasha?" Kikyo sat up. She didn't want anything to do with Inuyasha ever.
"Nothing." Kaede noticed her sister was very touchy about this subject. Kikyo stood up and went out side.
Days pass this way for Kikyo. She would never talk about Inuyasha. One day, Kikyo and Kaede were watching the sunset.
"Sister Kikyo, I know you are still mad at Inuyasha" Kikyo said nothing. Kaede tried again.
"Sister do you ever think about Inuyasha?" Kikyo said nothing. She was trying to get the half demon out of her mind. Her sister wasn't helping much.
"Sometimes I do Kaede." She answered so her sister wouldn't be so worried. Kikyo was a bit sour how she fell in love with a half demon. How stupid I was. She thought.
The wind filled up the silence. Kikyo stood up. It was getting late. Kaede followed her inside. Kikyo felt an evil presence around her. But she didn't bother with it. Naraku watched her go. "Kikyo your still alive."
He jumped down from the tree branch. Kikyo stopped. "Kaede go on ahead of me. I must do something." Kaede asked no questions and went away.
"Who's there?" She said to the trees. Naraku poked his ugly head out. "Why should I tell you priestess?" She didn't like his attitude. "Go away!" She barked at him. He didn't move an inch.
"Why should I listen to you?" Kikyo turned around. "If you don't wanna die that's it." "Fine." He said as he vanished. She was grateful he was gone. "I don't like him at all." She followed after her sister.
