Kagome sighed, an outward expression that was no where near strong enough to communicate all the emotions that were rolling around in the pit of her stomach. How did one go about helping another recover from the death of a past lover, she wondered, staring at her silent companion's back.
Kikyo was gone.
Her battle for Inuyasha's heart should have been over. The competition had been eliminated.
With a gasp, the young miko realized her train of thought and hung her head, shame rearing its ugly head. 'What kind of a person am I… to think about Kikyo like that? I should be sad that she's gone…' She was upset. Her incarnate's death left a terrible cloud hanging over Inuyasha's head. She was sad because he was sad.
It was as simple as that.
She sighed again. There was no real use in trying to dissect her own feelings about the situation. Kikyo was dead. 'It can't really matter what I think of her now,' Kagome tried to reason with herself, but the guilt was still buried deep inside her pure soul.
A bitter smile twisted her lips.
'You always manage to hang on, Kikyo. Even now that you're
gone, Inuyasha is still thinking about you. I'm still thinking
about you. It seems like you'll always have the last
stand.' - - - - -
Looking back toward the quiet hanyou, she sighed
one more time. 'One more time. I guess the competition may never
be gone between us.'
