-Touzoku-ouhi

Yeah I know, I know, I changed my username. Again. But forget that, I'm actually UPDATING!

So, first off, Review Responses!

zan118: glad you like it

Kage Blade: yep, I made her evil! Fear the evilness of it all!

sasuke-chidori93: I know I know I know my chapters are uber short . Everyone keeps telling me that. Anyways, I'm glad you like the story!

Chibi-Kikyou: awwwwww crud. You figured me out.

Royal Jester: I'LL TRY FOR LONGER CHAPTERS ALREADY! Okay, now that I've got that out of my system...I'm glad you liked the POV. I thought I'd be uber hated for that one.

PancakeBob: dude your chatspeaking gives me a headache...but I'm glad you like the story!

DIsclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Don't you think if I did, I would have killed Kagome off on the show and wouldn't have to write this as a fanfic?

Chapter 5: Ding Dong, Naraku's Dead. The cursed wench lost his head!

Kikyou reached inside her miko robes and pulled something out; a glittering pink sphere on a silvery chain. Everyone gasped "Oh gods, it's the Shikon No Tama!" shouted Miroku.

"That's right...I have completed the sacred jewel." Kikyou said as she placed it over her head and around her neck. "It was not easy...but I did it."

"But Kikyou...how?" Inuyasha asked, stunned. "I think we'd all like to know that." said Miroku. "Sit then." Kikyou said "and I shall tell you my story."

"As I was out walking one day, not but a few moons ago, I came across Naraku's castle. I could sense the power of the jewel, so I went to investigate. There he was, sitting on the steps, as if he was waiting for me, and for me alone." she said. No one else spoke. "He held the jewel up for me to see. 'If you can defeat me, then you may have the jewel. If not...you must remain here with me forever.' he told me." Inuyasha swore "That bastard...how dare he say that to you!" Shippou shushed Inuyasha and Kikyou continued. "He created a swirling miasma around me, that caused me to become very weak. With what little energy I had left, I shot a holy arrow through the miasma clouds and nearly hit him. I then took the one dagger I had left and threw it, praying that it would hit. Seems the gods favoured me, as the dagger managed to kill him. I took the Jewel from his lifeless hand and left him there." she finished. The other stared at her in awe.

"Kikyou...I'm amazed." Sango said after a few moments of silence. "You, one who was not truly alive until just recently, managed to do what none of us among the living have been able to." Kikyou stiffened at the mention of her...state of affairs. "I'm sorry..I didn't mean anything by that..." Kikyou shook her head. "Do not worry Lady Sango. I am not longer in that condition, therefore it does not matter." Sango nodded and smiled at Kikyou. How could she have ever disliked her?

"Kikyou I...I want to use the jewel someday. To become human and we can live the life we had always dreamed of." Inuyasha said as he drew closer to the miko. "But Inuyasha. The demons will attack you." Inuyasha shook his head. "As long as I can be with you, nothing matters."

Okay that's that for now. I hope you enjoyed the update, seeing as I don't do it that often. Anyways, leave me a review, let me know if you liked it! Flames will be eaten by my trusty fire-eater!

Fire Eater: Awwww why do I have to eat the flames?

Me: Uh...because you're a FIRE eater?

Bakura: and cause I can't do it.

Anyways, bye for now!
