Chapter 9: Kikyo's Sorrow
Kikyo dashed fowardly wildly to get to Inuyasha. When she reached him she began to uncover Inuyasha from the mass of demons. This proved very difficult. Kikyo, however, had spiritual power on her side. She sent a huge blast of spiritual energy at the demons. It sent them scattering. She pulled Inuyasha up tp his feet but not before gasping with horror.
Inuyasha had many cuts along his body. Blood flowed from his head, face, arms, legs, and other parts of his body. She lifted Inuyasha's weight over her shoulder and walked off. She had to get him away from the demons so she could tend to his wounds. The demons would be upon them soon. Thinking very quickly, Kikyo uttered four words. A barrier appeared around her, Inuyasha, and Kagome. They dashed off into the distance so fast that the demons could not follow.
As soon as they were a safe distance from the demons Kikyo found a good place to camp. She laid Inuyasha down gently and began to examine his wounds.
They were more severe than what she thought and they covered more than eighty percent of his body. She held back tears as she began to dress his wounds. She feared the worst, Inuyasha would probably not make it.
Kikyo stayed by Inuyasha's side even after his wounds were dressed. Kagome would occasionally go and sit by Kikyo but never remained for any length of time. Kikyo did however. She would wait until he woke up - or died.
Days passed and Inuyasha had still not woken up from his comatose state. Kikyo's hope was diminishing rapidly. When she was about to give up all hope, Inuyasha stirred. He opened his eyes halfway and scanned his surroundings. Upon seeing Kikyo, he smiled. His smile quickly turned to a pained expression. It was as if it hurt Inuyasha to smile.
"Kikyo," Inuyasha said feebly.
Tears welled in Kikyo's eyes as she said," Yes Inuyasha,"
"Kikyo, I don't-" he began to cough up blood, " I don't know how to tell you this after so much we have been through, but here it goes. I will not live Kikyo. I can feel my strength ebbing away as we speek."
"Don't talk like that Inuyasha," she said in a hushed tone," you can make it. You can do anything Inuyasha. We can do it together."
"Kikyo," he said grasping her hand weakly, "I will not make it. I wouldn't lie to you like that," he said as tears began to roll down his pale cheeks. "Kikyo I just want you to know that the happiest moments of my life were spent with you. I can never thank you for all that you have done for me. Even after I'm gone I'll still be with you, I love you my Kikyo."
"I love you to Inuyasha," she said her voice cracking. It was as if she were dying along side Inuyasha. They were trapped in a timeless moment before Kikyo suddenly felt Inuyasha go limp. His lips were pressed into a contented smile and his eyes closed forever. So it was that Inuyasha, lover of Kikyo, died.
