Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or any of the characters, whatsoever.
Except in my fantasies of course..^^
Author's Notes – Hmmm..I'm not getting as much reviews as my last story. Phooey. XD;; Thank you very much to those who reviewed, it inspired me to write..Again. Sighs. I also wish this would type itself. Xx;; I've also written yet another fanfiction. Hehe. Well now, I do enjoy cliff-hangers. This chapter will be one. ^^ Oh, yesh, I don't like using Japanese terms in Romanji, because I'm not Japanese, and some people might not understand them. I think this will be a long chapter..Eh-heh. Enjoy.
Torn Hearts By Kikyou
-InuYasha-
The half-demon was dwelling on his thoughts, while up on the Goshinboku. About the earlier events..It had started like any other day, of course..But the face of his departed beloved still haunted him..The look of utter contempt and pain on her pale porcelain..Golden optics focused once more, as he finally gathered his thoughts into a semi-neat bundle. In all honesty, the reason why he had stupidly, stupidly embraced her 'reincarnation', was because for a fleeting, wistful moment, he thought her to be Kikyou. A foolish thought, indefinitely, but alas, a wishful heart can do many things. Fifty years work had not any effect on his immense fondness for her, rather amplified it by leaps and bounds. If only..If only the wretch Naraku had never interfered with their lives! Frustration overcame him as he furiously pounded the trunk of the poor tree.
+.Immediately, after seeing the stricken expression on his 'real' lover, he began to jerk away from Kagome, realizing what really happened. The shameless wench was happily crushing him to her bosom, a foolish, desperate gesture, for she, too had seen the priestess. Angrily he had pushed her aside, after a few moments of vigorous struggling. Even then, she had not ceased to constantly ramble on about he affection for him was true and for an eternity. All rubbish. The whole while his mind was set firmly on and only about Kikyou. Even now her sweet name brought bliss to his long-neglected lips.+
All he felt was guilt, emptiness, and the inevitable longing. All were unbearable and added together, it almost overwhelmed him. The only thing that gladdened his soul was the absence of Kagome; never had he been so grateful for her to have returned to her time for an 'ex-am'.
+.After ages of fruitless searching, InuYasha at last gathered she had melded away, with her Soul-Gatherers. Upon realizing that he had slumped down, discouraged. Even the stupid girl had ceased her foolish ramblings..His heart was screaming and raging at him. You idiot! You idiot! How could you do that to her?! He felt broken..Useless. Nothing mattered..Empty..+
He sat. Unmoving. Silently, InuYasha vowed he would win her back, never would they leave each other's side. The would be together for an eternity and longer still! It was his only purpose and he etched those words upon his heart, starting now, he lived and breathed them. Slightly comforted with this promise, InuYasha fell into a fevered slumber, Kikyou's torn expression still haunting his mind..His Kikyou..
-Kikyou-
Morning did arrive, as swift as ever upon its silken feet and the priestess had awakened. Today would be the demise of..InuYasha. She must harden her heart against him. He was only a pointless memory, intent upon destroying the remnants on her pitiful existence from this realm. Half-breed. Gathering her necessities, the priestess slowly began to walk towards the destined area. Yet as she began to the spot, her mind kept flickering to InuYasha and Sesshoumaru. Either way, InuYasha still held some part of her heart, though she had managed to break away her love for him, he was still on her mind. While his half-brother was not oo far from her thoughts, as well. He seems ever-calm, never letting pathetic emotions getting the better of him, she thought enviously. Perhaps it better to be secluded from the world and live with a hardened heart, so one would never know such pain..Many times the priestess had been grateful to love the half-demon, so much like her. It felt as if he had shortened the sentence of guarding the Shikon No Tama..Always there, comforting. No, she would not fall for him again. Now, she regretted every-sorrowed moment of it, he had been the worst punishment in her entire existence. Cruelly seizing her heart and shattering it repeatedly. With every drawn breath she despised him, and somehow sympathized with him, their troubles.
"Priestess." An icy familiar voice emitted from a tall figure. Sesshoumaru stepped out of the shadows from the foliage and faced her. "Let us proceed to planning my half-brother's fortunate demise." He said, smirking, coldly. Lusting for the anguished cry that he would rip from his half-brother's throat, when he would finally slay him.
Caught completely off guard, she shakily sat upon the ground. "I shall lure him to the Goshinboku." She says flatly. "I will be the one to draw him to his awaited death, he will follow me."
"Quite interesting. Answer me this, Priestess, do you possess any lingering emotions for my idiot half-brother?" Sesshoumaru did not think this as a necessary inquiry, but rather wished to know for his own purposes. It seemed he had developed a certain..Fondness? For this particular maiden. Whom he had never ceased pondering about. His gazed locked upon her face as he waited for her reply.
Facing him, she realized how –much- the eyes of the Demon Lord resembled InuYasha's long ago..When they held little if not, any warmth. Averting her gaze she forced out, impassively. "I have no wish to feel affection towards such misery, I was a naïve fool to ever have feelings for –him-." Only half of her heart agreed to this, whilst the other was defying every word of it, urging her to believe how much they had loved each before. All the while, she was expertly keeping her face devoid of all emotions.
Eyeing her carefully, the Demon Lord acknowledged her saying with a swift nod. "So it seems, for now. You will not fail to assist me for his demise, correct?"
Kikyou nodded, sealing the pact. "It will be so, Lord Sesshoumaru.."
He muses quietly to himself, after a bit he speaks. "You may call my Sesshoumaru."
Once more she nodded, "As you wish."
"Now then, how do you suggest you go about killing my brother?"
"Perhaps, I could bind him once more..My powers have increased immensely since I have been resurrected, Sesshoumaru. If you wish, you may finish him, while he is bound.."
"Easy enough, though, I desire a more painful death for him. It would be very satisfying indeed, if he say someone he care so deeply for(while he said this, Kikyou noticed his expression flicker ever so lightly) hate him and perhaps love someone else? And do you know who that person shall be?"
Listening intently, Kikyou chose not to answer but continued to remain silent.
"That person..shall be me." He reached out to tenderly caress her cheek.
Author's Note – Waha. I hope that makes you want to read more. ^^ It might take me awhile to update, 'cause I only update when I have an urge to write, that makes my stories a lot better. Hem, hem. On your reviews, put the pairing you wish to prevail! XD
