Kryptonite Chapter 3: Emily, an inuyasha fanfic

Look look, yet another! This is one of my favorite songs. I hope you like it!

I don't own Bowling for Soup's "Emily". Or Inuyasha. But I think you know that.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

By noon the next day the shard hunters were all on there way again. Having exterminated the demon in the village and collecting 2 shards from it, they considered today successful. By nightfall they had discovered another demon rumor and were headed in that direction. Everyone was in a good mood, even Inuyasha.

Once everyone was asleep Inuyasha pulled out Kagome's player and got ready for his new favorite activity. But before her found a song he liked, the smell of clay and ashes saturated the air. Music forgotten, Inuyasha bounded away through the forest toward the source of the smell, unaware of the girl from the future fighting back tears as he left.

Kikyo lay in a tree deep in the forest, surrounded by her soul collectors and there eerie white light. Inuyasha stopped beneath the tree and gazed at her.

"Inuyasha, you have come, just as I knew you would. I have decided that the time has come for you to enter Hell with me." He voice carried no emotion, and she let her collectors lift her so she was standing before Inuyasha. She lifted her arms and placed them around his neck, but he refused to look at her.

"Do you regret you're promise, Inuyasha? Have you truly fallen for my reincarnation?"

He looked up at her words. Inside his mind was a jumble. He had promised Kikyo, but memories of Kagome came unbidden to his minds eye. Her laughing, eyes dancing with life. Her fighting demons, bow raised. She had come so far since her first days with him, he thought, and a small smile graced his lips. Kikyo noticed his smile, and glared. "Inuyasha, you promised me your life. I am here to collect." Without another word she worked the magic that would carry them into Hell. As they sank, Inuyasha started from his stupor and realized what was happening.

"No!" He yelled. He would not leave Kagome. No one could make him. He began to struggle against Kikyo's arms, fighting to return to life. "I will no go with you!" He freed himself from her embrace and tore back to camp. And enraged Kikyo continued her decent into Hell, alone in the clearing. As she fell, the stolen souls burst from her body and traveled back to there own. A final scream cut the night air as the gates closed, and the night was silent once again.

Kagome awoke from her tear induced slumber suddenly. Something had happened to her. She felt…complete somehow. She tried to fully wake up, but that same something sent her back into a dreamless sleep.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Inuyasha returned to camp and fetched the forgotten player from beneath the tree. Maybe some music would calm his nerves. He had felt Kikyo pass on, the gates had a taste for those who had avoided there grasp long after there time. In his very bones he knew. Yet, he felt no remorse. 'This is where I should be.' He thought, glancing down at Kagome. Reassured, he turned on the player and chose a song.

It wasn't supposed to be like this,

Another dose of unhappiness

I gave it all and managed to get

Shot down yet again.

Shot down to a tree

'You and me both, buddy.'

So I got drunk

So then I slept

Had sex with all your friends

Slept and enchanted sleep

You told me

That I should never

Call your house again

Never ever wake up again

Emily, you saved the day

Kikyo, you broke my heart

Emily, when you threw me away

Kikyo, when you pinned me there

She was always such a pretty girl

Nobody like her in the world

A little piece of heavenly that no one else could stand

A little piece of hope that no one else could understand

See you in my dreams at night

See you when I close my eyes

I just can't seem to shake

Emily

Kikyo

You got your money, I got a cast

You got revenge

Outside thrown out on my ass

Then you died

In the city with no one else

Stuck to the tree for all of time

No where else to go

50 years all alone

So then I hooked up

So then I was freed,

With a model from Singapore

By this girl from a future place

Emily I, am so glad

Kikyo, I am so glad

That you didn't want me anymore
