Chapter 3
"My child, if you ever need anything, come to me. Your friends need you, especially Inuyasha. The pain in his heart is growing dark. Save him. You are the only one who can, and ever could. I will watch over your family so don't worry to much."
Kagome nodded and and ran off to the well. "I'm coming Inuyasha, just wait a little longer."
Inuyasha stared at his reflection in the mirror Kagome had give him so long ago. "This is the last night I will be alive. I can't live any longer without her. My heart is too broken."
Inuyasha looked down the well one last time, "Goodbye my dearest Kagome. I'm sorry I could not find you again. I.. I love you" Inuyasha began to cry once more, stood up and started to walk toward the sacred tree where he would end his life. Seeing that as a human, he could not heal.
Kagome opened the doors and ran toward the well. She stood over the well. The Shikon jewel beated faster with her heart. Kagome grabbed an arrow, and held it until it felt purified. "Jewel, lend me your power, lets go home". The bow and arrow glowed in the jewels magical power. Kagome aimed the arrow down the well when Kikyou appeared.
"You do not belong there anymore. Inuyasha is giving his life for me. He wants to be with me you wretched girl. Move on. You cannot break my spell of this well. You are weak and pathetic." Kikyou pulled a knife from behind her back and started to go at Kagome.
"I'm pathetic? I'm weak?" Kagome glared at Kikyou and aimed her arrow at her. "Your the pathetic one. Coming back to life so many times to get Inuyasha and not letting him move one. He didn't want to love someone who was alive because of their hatred for him. You had a strong heart once Kikyou, but now it's full of darkness. The moments I saved you, I felt like we were one. I have never hated you, I was rather jealous. You have to move on Kikyou, your spirit can't be here anymore!" Kagome fired her arrow.
"HOW DARE YOU KAGO..!" Kikyou disappeared along with the arrow.
I'm sorry Kikyou. Kagome drew another arrow and aimed at the bottom of the well. She breathed slowly, along with a tear which fell to the bottom along with the shot arrow. Kagome jumped.
Inuyasha was almost at the tree when he smelt something. A smell he hasn't smelt since he last saw Kagome cry. Is it Kagome's tears? He turned around but could not see the well through the trees. He looked at his half golden heart necklace. "Is it you Kagome?"
Kagome closed her eyes in fear of hitting the ground. She opened her eyes and found herself falling in the darkness she was once in before. Light wrapped around her legs and all the way up her body. As it slowly vanished, she was wearing her priestess dress again. She closed her eyes, "I'm almost home". She opened them and looked up, she was in a well. She climbed up as quickly as she could. She reached for the ledge, when she slipped. Someone grabbed her hand.
Inuyasha stood there. "It can't be! I am just wussing out of dying!" He looked at the moon, and thought of his father. He looked back at the trail to the sacred tree, then back at the moon. He saw his mother and father looking down on him for a split second. Then felt a small breeze, catching another scent.
Kagome was finally out of the well, she looked at the person who helped her. It was a red and white dress such as hers. The woman had long black hair. "Kikyou.."
"Thank you Kagome, for destroying the dark part of me. I know you didn't want to do it, thinking it was me. I want you to know that I have moved on. You belong with Inuyasha. Any feelings in my heart are in yours now. Promise me you will protect this land as I did. There is still more to be done." Kikyou helped Kagome up and hugged her. "Thank you.."
Kagome hugged her back but then held on tight, "Thank you for making me stronger Kikyou. You will never be forgotten." Kikyou started to rise away, smiling at Kagome, and then disappeared. Kagome stood there and grabbed her locket.
Kagome heard a voice behind her, "Ki... Kikyou?". Kagome turned around and smiled.
