How Could An Angel Break My Heart?

Disclaimer: Don't tell me you can't figure it out by now...

Author Notes: I hate Kikyo very much but I decided that everyone neglects her and she needs some attention. Besides, I think this song fits.


************************


I heard he sang a lullaby

I heard he sang it from his heart

When I found out thought I would die

Because the lullaby was mine

I heard he sealed it with a kiss

He gently kissed her cherry lips

I found that so hard to believe

Because his kiss belonged to me


Kikyo's eyes were down cast as she walked through the woods. It was dusk and she felt compelled to have a walk before night fell, hoping to perhaps catch a glimpse of her love, Inu-Yasha. Naraku had ordered her not to go, but even he knew she took orders from no one. Despite his wishes, she left anyway. She found a clearing and settled herself there, feeling content with herself- a rare moment for her. She sat beneath a giant tree and rested her head against the trunk. She closed her eyes and thought of the past and how she longed to go back in time- to be in Inu-Yasha's arms again- as herself, not as a dead incarnate. She though of her love's eyes, how she loved them and the warmth they had for her. If only Naraku hadn't intervened, she'd have been able to live out her life with the hanyou, perhaps even have kids. But fate was cruel and destiny just as merciless.

Her eyes snapped open as she heard voices. She strained to listen to whom the voices belonged to. She could not make them out and so she stood and walked toward the voices, hoping that perhaps it was her love. Indeed it was but the sight she saw was not comforting. Her reincarnate, Kagome, was with him, and they were walking closely together- too close. She hid behind a tree and listened to their conversation.


" Kagome, you know I'll always protect you. I know the Kikyo we've been seeing is not the Kikyo I once loved but..."


"I know, Inu-Yasha. You don't have to explain anything to me, it's just....whenever she's near it seems that you forget we're here. Me and the others, I mean."


"I know, I'm...so...I'm sorr...I'll try harder next time."


"Good boy."


"Feh!"


"Inu Yasha, you're so dumb! Can't you come up with a better come back than that?"


"Feh!"


The girl rolled her eyes at her companion's lack of vocabulary and began to hum a tune that she and Inu Yasha had once heard Kaede sing. Hesitantly, Inu Yasha joined in. What a sight to see! Suddenly, he stopped and turned to her. "Kagome?"


"Hmm?"


Kikyo's eyes widened at the scene before her. Inu Yasha wrapped his arms around this Kagome girl and...to her horror...kissed her! She could tell the girl was just as surprised but that didn't stop her from kissing the hanyou back. The miko blinked, trying to make herself believe that this was just a figment of her imagination. But she realized, sadly, that it was not. But...it can't be...Inu Yasha's kiss belongs to me...at least...I thought it did...

I'm doing a new chapter for each verse of the song. I'm doing that because the song is short and...I feel like it.
