After quickly thinking it over, Inuyasha decided to answer her truthfully.
"I came because......I needed to see you."
Kikyou didn't look confused or shocked at his response. She put on a smile.
"Inuyasha, please sit."
Inuyasha smiled too and took a seat next to Kikyou. They both gazed at the orangey, reddish sunset.
" So you needed to see me eh? It has been a long time. Inuyasha, I have changed as a person and I am not the same woman you fell in loved with all those years ago. So I wonder, why do you still feel the need to see me? How do you even know if you love what I've become?"
"Kikyou we've been through this before. I love you and I always will no matter what. As far as I know, your still the same. And even if your not, my feelings for you remain. I've lived my life without you and its been so hard. You consume my every thought."
"Do you really mean that''
"Yes I do."
"I've been watching you Inuyasha and I guess I'm not the only one who has changed. You seem to be happier and more complete. Your able to laugh and smile and you've even made some friends. Friends whom you love and who love you."
"Yeah I have! Their great."
"Why aren't you with them now? Their your life right?'
"No! Your my life and they understand that. I want to-"
"This jewel, The Shikon No Tama, is the only reason why I'm here. Because of it, and my souls, I can be among the living and have a purpose. But still, technically I am not living. You are, and you should live your life to the fullest! Embrace every moment. You cant do that if you follow me," said Kikyou as she stood up. She began to walk away but Inuyasha went up to her and gave her a big hug.
"Kikyou, you're wrong! There's no way I can live my life to the fullest If I don't spend it with you."
Kikyou looked into his eyes confused.
"But, your loved ones, you cant just leave them to be with me."
"I can and I will."
Kikyou closed her eyes, enjoying his embrace.
"Kikyou.....I love you. But there's something I must know," began Inuyasha. "Do you feel the same about me? Do you want to be with me Kikyou?"
Inuyasha didn't get a answer. But he did hear a strange sound. She was breathing heavily. He lifted Kikyou's head up and saw that she was sleeping.
"Ahh...........Kikyou? She sleeping, she cant hear me."
Inuyasha leaned Kikyou against a tree. Then he laid his head on her lap.
"This is fine. Lets stay like this together. Just you and me," said Inuyasha.
