Okay, I talked to much the last time, so all I'm going to write is the disclaimer this time. I don't own Inuyasha or the characters etc etc...I wish I did.....
Kikyou stood up and looked to the sky. Nothing seemed so radiant anymore. Not after what she had experienced in her life. The sorrow that she had experienced, and still experiences, seems to increase each day. That day she saw Inuyasha in the forest, sulking because Kagome was gone, she realized she had lost his heart almost completely, and decided to not get in the way any longer. Afterwards, she didn't know what to think anymore. The hurt in his eyes...was different. After that day, she had been feeling strange also. Like the Shikon no Tama was calling her, to come and fully purify it. It was even in her dreams, but she didn't understand what it meant. It had said to fully purify the jewel, and to fully open the heart. Kikyou shook her head, "All these thought in my head...and lately feeling so warm inside. Am I really struggling to stay alive that much to hallucinate this?" As she looked towards her sister's hut, she had noticed the hanyou staring at her through the window. She turned away quickly as to not startle him, with her noticing she saw him. It reminded her of the first day they met. How, he had watched her at first, and afterwards, finally talking to him.
Kikyou slowly walked away. It seemed less of her Shikigami had left her. She had four left. 'Maybe it's time for me to die now...' Kikyou thought as she continued to walk deeper into the forest. Kagome lightened up a little, "I'm sure Kaede wouldn't want us all gloomy. She'd want us to be happy. And I think that we should continue on." Kagome stood up and smiled. Shippo walked over to Kagome and asked, "I think Kagome might be right. But where are we going to go?" Sango added, "Yeah, we really have no where to travel now that we defeated Naraku." Miroku nodded, "I think it'd be best if we perhaps, traveled back to our home villages, to see everyone again." Kagome nodded in agreement, "Okay, sounds like fun! What do you think Inuyasha?" Inuyasha sighed and looked away from the window, "I don't care. You guys have been to my home village countless times, I mean we're in it right now, so I don't care." Kagome smiled with a sweatdrop, "I guess we'll take that as a yes..." Kagome picked Shippo up and left the hut to go get her bike. Sango motioned for Kirara to follow and followed Kagome out of the hut. Miroku stood up and looked at Inuyasha, "Inuyasha, you are coming right?" Inuyasha looked up and sat up, "Yeah." He followed Miroku out of the hut. As Inu and the gang walked into the forest, heading for Miroku's village, one of Kikyou's Soul Stealers flew past them into the forest.
"Those are Kikyou's Soul Stealers!" Sango said watching them leave. Miroku nodded, "Yeah, what are they doing out here? I don't sense Kikyou anywhere." Inuyasha thought to himself, ' If they leave Kikyou, then she'll die!' Inuyasha smelled the air to find Kikyou's scent. He smelled her and ran off. "Inuyasha!" Kagome called and she ran after him. Inuyasha turned left sharply and found Kikyou sitting on a cliff watching the sun set. "Kikyou! You're gonna die without your soul stealers!" Inuyasha yelled grabbing her shoulder. It felt warmer than usual. Like she was alive, but it was hard to tell, seeing as how she was sitting watching the sun set. Kikyou laughed, but it seemed to be filled with more joy, "Inuyasha, I don't think I need them anymore..." Inuyasha sat next to her, "What do you mean?" Kikyou answered, "Well, suddenly I feel more warm inside. Like I have all of my soul back...I even saw it in my dreams, and I felt it come back to me. Now me and Kagome are fully separate." Inuyasha looked confused, "The how come none of us didn't notice it?" Kikyou shrugged, "I'm not sure. Maybe she didn't notice, or just didn't tell..." Inuyasha looked at his former lover. As much as he resisted it, he still loved her. Inuyasha hugged Kikyou saying, "I'm glad you're alive." Kikyou didn't return the hug, "Inuyasha...don't. We have company..." Inuyasha looked up to find Kagome looking at them with tears in her eyes.
