At Sesshoumaru's Castle...

Shirayuki slept quietly on Sesshoumaru's bed. It had been 4 days since Naraku's death, and since Shirayuki stayed unconscious. Sesshoumaru paced impatiently around the room. Slowly, Shirayuki began to regain consciousness. "Uh..." Her eyelids fluttered open, to reveal her blue-gold eyes. She focused on the object in front of her face-Sesshoumaru. The first thing Shirayuki could do was just stare at him. "So that's why Inuyasha and Kagome mistook me for you!" Shirayuki stared intently at Sesshoumaru. "Gods, we look so much alike! Anyway, what happened to Kagome, Inu-kuso, and Kikyou? The last time I remembered, I was shouting at Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru chuckled at Inuyasha's 'potty name'. "They are discussing the uses for the Shikon No Tama. The undead miko said that we should wait for you because you did help her kill Naraku. Now that you've reawakened, I think that we should go down."

"SHIRA!!! SHIRA-CHAN!! SHIRA-SAMA!!! SHIRAYUKI!!" shouted four familiar voices. Shirayuki was greeted by hugs and kisses (and gropes) from all her friends. Even Inuyasha gave her a friendly slap on the back. Kikyou stood by scowling. "Why did we have to wait for this bitch? Couldn't we just let me make the wish? After all, I am the guardian of the Shikon No Tama!" snapped Kikyou, ruining the happy moment. "Who you calling a bitch?" snarled Sesshoumaru. He had his claws at her throat in a nanosecond. "Sesshoumaru, it's okay." Shirayuki said soothingly, rubbing his shoulder. Sesshoumaru relaxed at the touch, but he growled at Kikyou and dropped her to the floor. "Number one, we waited for my reawakening because I pushed Kagome out of harm's way, and the miasma hit me instead. So, then she didn't get wounded. She let Kanna suck up her soul in order for Inuyasha to use the Bakuryuuha technique. Anyway, you WERE the guardian of the Shikon No Tama. Kagome is the current guardian now. Besides, Kikyou, you're dead! You're only here because some witch resurrected you...or else Inuyasha would be with Kagome now instead of you! Come to think of it...YOU MESS EVERYTHING UP!!" retorted Shirayuki. She then turned to Kagome, "Make the wish, Kagome." Kagome was stunned. "M-M-Me?!? Nani!?! Are you sure?!" Kagome looked around the group. Miroku, Sango, and Shippou were all nodding their heads. Kikyou was just scowling, and Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru were just staring at nothing. I wish that...Kagome thought about the pain when she was thinking about Inuyasha and Kikyou. She just hoped that Kikyou would rest in peace. Kagome closed her eyes, and wished for happiness. The Shikon No Tama glowed with white light, and disappeared. Kagome looked up into the cloudless sunny blue sky. "Arigato," she whispered.

"Inuyasha," Kikyou and Inuyasha were sitting alone at the grassy edge of a cliff," The Shikon No Tama is complete. I have to go back to hell now. Arigato for avenging my death." Inuyasha looked at her sadly. "I-I-I'm coming with you." Kikyou looked happy," Honto?!" Inuyasha looked determined, "Hai, Kikyou." Kikyou embraced him, and left him alone with his thoughts.

"YOU WHAT!?!?" shrieked Sango. "I told Kikyou that I'm going to hell with her!!" replied an irritated Inuyasha. "AFTER ALL SHE'S DONE FOR YOU, NO YOU'RE NOT!!!" Shirayuki pulled Inuyasha around. "YOU ARE SO INSENSITIVE!! KAGOME ALMOST RISKED HER LIFE FOR YOU, AND YOU DESERT HER FOR SOME PERSON? I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING THOUGH...SHE LOVES YOU, INUYASHA!! SHE REALLY DOES!!! AND IT'LL HURT HER EVEN MORE TO SEE HER LOVER GO OFF WITH SOMEONE ELSE! YOU THINK ABOUT THAT WHILE YOU BURN IN HELL, INU-KUSO!!!" yelled Shirayuki. "Think about it Inuyasha...is it really Kikyou? Is she the real Kikyou like fifty years ago? Kagome is her reincarnation. She has Kikyou-onee-sama's soul. By going to hell with this imitation of Kikyou-onee-sama, do you think that you will gain anything? Kagome has her soul, which means that this "Kikyou" is no more than dirt and bones...no more than that." Improvised Kaede. Leave it to Kaede. She always knows what to say. That statement got Inuyasha up and thinking, "Is she the real Kikyou I knew fifty years ago?" Kagome looked sadly at him. She sighed and walked to the Goshinboku tree, where she and Inuyasha first met. "Why?" she asked sadly to the tree," Why? Did I have to meet Inuyasha if I was going to end up so broken hearted?" she looked up at the tree, no answer. Inuyasha peered through the bushes. "Kagome." He said. Kagome jumped up and saw Inuyasha. "EEK!! Inuyasha, you scared me!!" Inuyasha came towards her. Oh no! thought Kagome, what should I do? What should I do?! "I-I was about to go to hell with Kikyou...w-when I thought about how she was reincarnated into...you..."Inuyasha trailed off. "I knew it...you just like me because I looked like Kikyou, or even worse...I'M KIKYOU'S REINCARNATION!!!!!" shouted Kagome. Tears were running freely down her face. Inuyasha looked terrified. "S-S-Stop that!" Kagome looked up. "WHY?! WHY, INUYASHA!!?! DON'T YOU GET IT?! TO YOU, I'M JUST HER FRICKIN REPLACEMENT!!" Inuyasha grabbed her wrist, "Now, wait a minute. Who said that you were her replacement?" Kagome looked at him as if he were stupid, "Ano...maybe during the other day when Shirayuki was shouting at you?!?! Do you think that I'm stupid, Inuyasha!?! I saw the whole damn thing!!!! Just leave me alone, Inuyasha. Go with Kikyou to hell all you want!! Why did I have to meet you if I was going to end up-mrrrff!" Inuyasha silenced her with a kiss. Kagome was shocked at first, but then relaxed into him. Little did they know that two cold eyes were watching them through the bushes. Tears flowed freely to the ground in front of the intruder. "I knew that you have always loved her more than me, Inuyasha." The figure slowly turned and walked away.

Kagome sighed with happiness. She knew that Inuyasha loved her. He had just proved it to her that afternoon. Kagome was bathing in a nearby stream, thinking about the events that have happened the past few days. Suddenly, the bushes rustled, somebody was there. Kagome sat down in the water. "Inuyasha?" no reply," Ano...Kouga?" no reply. Then with a bored look, she said," Miroku?" still, there was no reply. Someone came out into the clearing carrying bow and arrows. "Kikyou!? What are you doing here? Why do you have your bow and arrows? Is there a youkai in the area?!" Kagome asked incredulously(Obviously, she was probably expecting some hentai.). "Kagome," Kikyou's voice was full of hatred," right now, do you know what is the biggest obstruction that is preventing me and Inuyasha to go to hell together?" "Ano...I don't really understand your question, Kikyou." Kagome was scared. She didn't know what this woman would do to her, in order to get Inuyasha herself. "You, Kagome. You are the biggest obstruction, and I'm going to kill you so nothing will get in the way of Inuyasha being mine. SHINAI!!!!" Kikyou raised her bow...and fired.

"KYAAAAAAAA!!!! INUYASHAAAAAAA!!!" Inuyasha's ears perked up. He had definitely heard Kagome's scream, and where was Kikyou? Inuyasha stood up quickly, and headed to the stream. Shirayuki followed him. "I heard it too." She said. He nodded gruffly, and picked up the walking pace. "Shirayuki, what's wrong?" Sango called from the hut. "I HEARD KAGOME SCREAM!! HURRY, GET THE OTHERS!!! I THINK SHE"S IN TROUBLE!!" yelled Shirayuki, as she broke into a heavy run. Shirayuki and Inuyasha flew from tree to tree, never wasting a second of their precious time. Sango and the others were soon on their feet, running after Shirayuki and Inuyasha. When they stopped at the clearing, they saw Kagome in a pool of her own blood. A sharp arrow was pierced through her arm. Inuyasha rushed up to her and held her to his cheek. "Kagome!! Kagome!! Are you alright?! Dammit!! Kagome, say something!!" Inuyasha panicked. Kagome managed to get one word out before plunging into unconsciousness- "K-Ki-Kik...you..."
