Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha.

A/N: I'm back! Anyway, here is a new story from me. This chapter is more like a prolouge. Oh well. Enjoy!

I can see it in your eyes, your love for her. I try to get you to think about me. I wait until you come and hold me. I want to be yours, but I know that won't happen. So, instead of letting you suffer, I'll make you happy. I'll figure it out and I'll do what I can to make you happy, even if it means letting you go.

Chapter One:

Kagome followed the newly worn path. Light footprints marked her way. The trees grew thick on either side, making it difficult to stray. Rays of light peered between mangled branches. She knew she was near.

Ever since she made up her mind, her path was clear. The traveling shaman taught her what to do, what to expect. Her face may have expressed determination, but inside, tears dripped heavily. The very idea made her sad, yet it was for a good cause. She was doing it for him.

Trees faded into rock as she came to the end of her journey. Far away, Kagome saw a figure, the same one she was looking for. The shadow object was surrounded by flying dragons, white as a full moon, and white glowing spheres.

Kagome continued forward, determined to achieve her goal. She watched the pets disperse as the figure gripped her bow tightly. The woman turned around, facing Kagome, bow drawn and ready to strike. Kagome froze as the arrow pointed to her heart. She focused on the woman in front of her. Long black hair framed her face, solemn and cold.

"What do you want?" Kikyo spat from her mouth, tugging her bowstring. Her eyes, no matter how lifeless, burned with hatred at the sight of Kagome. His affection went to her, even though she died with him. This girl had no right of being here.

"I want to help you," Kagome pleaded, hoping to lower Kikyo's warlike stance. This was only going to work it if she could get Kikyo to cooperate.

"Do I look like I want your help?"

"I can help you be with InuYasha."

Kagome's heart sank with those words, words which tasted bitter in her mouth. Day by day she wanted to be with InuYasha, to be only his. But she knew better. His heart belonged to Kikyo, no matter how much she tried. Kikyo stood unraveled.

"I will be him after Naraku is dead. I will take him to hell myself."

"I can make it so you can live with him, on earth."

Kikyo, intrigued by her words, loosen her grip on her weapon. Kagome exhaled a sigh of relief. Now she was ready to listen.

"I know how you can live on earth with InuYasha, without him dying."

"But I am dead. How will you fix that?"

"That is what I will fix."

Kikyo, although skeptical, dropped her bow. Her hollow body shuffled slowly

towards Kagome. The girl stood erect, waiting for Kikyo's next move. The priestess stopped a foot from Kagome, with ears open.

"How do you plan to accomplish that task?"

"A traveling shaman taught me. But we will have to work together for it to work."

Kikyo looked at Kagome. Her brown eyes were serene, pure. She spoke the truth; she knew what she was talking about, what she was doing. Kikyo eyes softened as she spoke.

"Why are you doing this?"

Kagome closed her eyes. There was only one image in her head, the reason for her actions. She smiled as she opened her eyes.

"For him. I am doing it for him."

A/N: Unlike my last story, Under the Stars, this one is not completed, so updating won't be a set time. However, this story is supposed to be short, so it shouldn't take me long to finish it. I hope you will continue to read my works.
