Please Rest in Peace

Kagome's POV

I looked up with a grave expression on my face. Just as the arrow was about to pierce my heart, I put my hand around it and stopped it just as the point the arrow met tore through my shirt and met my skin. Kikyo had a shocked look on her face, surprised that I could harness her miko power, but shook it off and quickly prepared another arrow.

I knew Inuyasha and Koga were watching, but I didn't look at either of them; and Kikyo knew it too.

"Priestess Kikyo, " I started, "I'm setting your soul free. Please rest in peace." I whispered loud enough for her to hear, choking up a little. A bow materialized in my hand and I aimed her arrow to her heart.

Her eyes flashed as I did this, "No! You can't kill me, you're just a filthy copy of myself!" She screamed in fury. Kikyo let the arrow go, everything went slow when I let her arrow go from my bow as well.

"NO!" I heard two male voices yell as we both were pierced with each other's arrow.

Koga raced over to me to catch me if I were to fall, and Inuyasha just stood there, frozen, with a horrified look on his face.

I held up a hand to stop Koga from touching me, "The dark spiritual power will burn you." I stated and discarded the bow, walking over to Kikyo's still breathing body on the forest floor.

Her hair was splayed around her, and her arrow in her chest. She looked up at me with eyes filled with many emotions, the most dominant one was regret.

"Kikyo, rest in peace, I will finish off Naraku. You don't have to fight anymore. And if Inuyasha chooses to join you in hell, I will not keep you two apart." I said softly, sitting my knees and resting her head on my lap.

She looked up at me with gratefulness, a single tear slid own her face , "Thank you" She whispered before a burst of light developed around us and I could feel power rushing through my body. The light filled me with warmth, then as quickly as it came, it left, vanished.

I looked down to my lap where her head should've been, but her body was gone, just the arrow was left. I picked up the arrow and stood up. Then I placed it on the ground and put a seal so it would never move, no matter how much force was put on it; it would only move if someone truly needed it.

I turned my violet eyes to Inuyasha and saw that he had his eyes glued to the arrow. I walked over to him and hugged him tightly, "I'm sorry Inuyasha." I whispered and walked away into the darkness.

After a few hours of my own thoughts, I reached the bone-eaters well and hesitated when I made to jump down into it. I sighed, slid down to the ground, and leaned against it, staring into the night sky. I really wished I didn't have to tell Kaede-sama, but someone had to do it and I don't think Inuyasha would.

My eyes drifted closed, sleep taking over me.

Sorry it's short, and now I'm going to be busy, I'm getting a cat, but I'll try to update ever other day, thanks for reading and please review and give me suggestions; I'm not sure what to do with Inuyasha.
