"No." Inu-Yasha growled. Kikyo looked taken back. " The real Kikyo would never say such a thing to me. You're not real."
Inu-Yasha…you put me in more pain..why won't you trust me? Would you ever really love me again? Or have you already found your replacement of me in that witch? Please find me Inu-Yasha. Kikyo bit back silent tears to continue on. For this fight, I need you to sleep.
"Inu-Yasha! Look out!" Kagome cried. "Come here now! She's going to take you out to get to me!" Inu-Yasha hesitated. He grabbed Souta who was just about to start calling for help.
"Big Sis!" He cried in Kagome's arms as Inu-Yasha dropped him where Kagome was.
"Souta, we were so worried. You get to go home now." Kagome smiled at him.
Alone..I am again alone. Kikyo's eyes turned red into fury as she lunged for Kagome. Inu-Yasha blocked her and proceeded to grapple with her. She is the bane of my existence! She must die. She must die so I may live. It is because of her that I am weak! Die Kagome Die!
(Kikyo.) Kikyo paused. (You don't have to be alone anymore.)
"Who is this! Who are you?!" Kikyo screamed.
"Who are you talking to. It's me that you're fighting with, fake Kikyo!" Inu-Yasha yelled.
(Kikyo, you're not alone. You were never alone. You had me, you just didn't want to admit it.) The voice inside her head was gentle and persuasive, but Kikyo was stubborn.
Who..Who!! Who calls me. Who!! Kikyo's thoughts raced around the faces around her. I am alone. I have no one. My love refuses to acknowledge me. He calls me false. He has replaced me. He loves that bitch..He loves her because she lives. If I am whole he would love me. He would love me again. For me to be whole, she must die. Then I will be happy again. Kikyo held off Inu-Yasha's attacks.
(There is another way for him to love you, Kikyo) The voice in her head continued. (You can be in peace again. You can be whole again.) The voice began to pacify her. She stopped fighting and slumped in Inu-Yasha's arms.(He loves you Kikyo. I love you. You're not alone. We want you to be in peace. You're not alone.)
"Tell me." She stopped moving. "Tell me you lying menace!" She cried. Salty hot tears rolled down her cheeks. "I am alone!" She came down on her knees and Inu-Yasha let her down slowly. She cried. These gentle words were too much. Why, oh why did they have to be so kind?
"Souta, stay here." Kagome told her little brother as he shrieked and froze in place. She walked toward the crying Kikyo. "Inu-Yasha. Step away from us. Do not come under any circumstances."
"You can't be serious." Inu-Yasha growled.
"Sit." Kagome said sternly. He fell to the ground paralyzed and in pain. She turned to Kikyo and opened her arms. Kikyo was still crying.
Alone..so alone.. (You don't have to be alone. You can be with me.) I don't want to be with you, Kagome. ( We are one, Kikyo. He loves the both of us because of our heart and soul.) How can it be true? Kagome, I am dead. We shouldn't exist while the other is still alive..You shouldn't be. I should be alive (We are both alive, Kikyo.)
Kagome wrapped her arms around Kikyo. "You're not alone anymore." Kikyo stopped crying. " We love you. Kaede, me, and Inu-Yasha. We love you. You don't have to be alone any longer, Kikyo."
Kikyo closed her eyes. I want peace..and love..
(Both are yours Kikyo. Let's be together again.) Kagome held Kikyo extremely tight. "Sleep well, Kikyo...we love you." Kikyo turned the last second to the awestruck Inu-Yasha.
" I'll see you soon...my love." She faded away as a strange light engulfed Kagome and Kikyo. The light streamed to the police officers as well. When the light vanished, it was only Kagome still there. In her arms were some clay, bones, Kikyo's robes, and a few jewel shards. Kagome was crying.
"Where did she go?" asked Souta. Inu-Yasha turned to him.
"She went home, kid." Inu-Yasha walked over to Kagome and helped her up. "We should all go home." Kagome gathered Kikyo's kimono and bones and wrapped them together.
"Kaede, would like to have these back in their proper place." She said softly.
Inu-Yasha had them both climb on his back an he ran with them all the way back to the Higurashi shrine. He hid on the roof as the police officers came to explain that their search for Souta was fruitless but Kagome's mother was crying and told them that Souta had just come home a few minutes ago with Kagome and they were all very much relieved. The officers bid farewell and left.
Kagome went outside. "Inu-Yasha." He came down from the roof and stood in front of her. "Take this to Kaede, I'll be over there tomorrow morning. They need me here tonight."
"I thought you had midterms." Inu-Yasha said.
"I'm only going to be there for the funeral. The test is until the end of the week. I'll be ok." Inu-Yasha nodded to this answer. He took the robes from Kagome's arms and was very careful not to disturb the bones.
"I'll be going then." He replied as he was about to go down into the other side of the bone eater's well Kagome stopped him.
"Thank you for today. We both wanted to give you this." She stood on her toes and gave Inu-Yasha a small peck on the lips. " I love you, Inu-Yasha." She crept back into the house. Inu-Yasha smiled.
"I love you Kagome..I love you Kikyo." He went back to his time.
And the mournful spirit met her match and the two became one. Never will they feel alone or desolate by despair, they had each other and that was enough.
Inu-Yasha…you put me in more pain..why won't you trust me? Would you ever really love me again? Or have you already found your replacement of me in that witch? Please find me Inu-Yasha. Kikyo bit back silent tears to continue on. For this fight, I need you to sleep.
