Prologue

Inuyasha sat next to the old god tree. It had been already 3 days after defeating Naraku. They were all surprised to know that with Naraku's shards they still didn't have the entire jewel, that one person had the last bit of it.

"Cheer up Inuyasha we know somebody has to have them," Kagome said walking up to him. She handed him a small cup of water but he refused to take it.

"Naraku had most of the jewel and you had a part of it. Together they would make the whole thing but they didn't! Who could have them?" Inuyasha yelled. The half demon jumped into the tree and started thinking for once.

"Kagome is he going to be alright?" Miroku, the monk asked.

"I don't know maybe I should go home and leave him alone. Maybe then he won't be like this all the time," Kagome said with a small sigh.

"Don't leave!" Shippo, the small fox demon said jumping on Kagome's shoulder.

"Okay I'll stay but I hope he will change his mood."

The sky started getting dark. It was only morning so that was strange. Soul skimmers appeared in the air. They hovered next to Inuyasha.

"Kikyo's soul skimmers," Inuyasha whispered to himself. He jumped off the tree and started to follow the skimmers.

"Should we follow him?" Sango asked standing up with Kirara on her shoulder.

"No you all stay I'll go," Kagome said picking up her bow and arrows and placing Shippo on the ground.

Kagome slowly followed Inuyasha, trying hard not to be noticed. How much farther will he run? Kagome thought.

Every once in a while Inuyasha stopped and looked back but only for a second. He continued to follow the soul skimmers until they finally stopped in a small field where there was only one tree.

The soul skimmers surrounded a figure on the tree. It was Kikyo. Inuyasha knew it by her scent. The skimmers disappeared and left Kikyo alone with Inuyasha.

"Kikyo why are you here? You're going to get hurt," Inuyasha whispered while stepping towards her.

Kagome sat behind a bush. She looked at them both, Inuyasha and Kikyo. "What does she want now?" Kagome asked herself while she placed an arrow on her bow and held it back ready to fire at Kikyo.

"I'm here at my own free will Inuyasha," Kikyo said with no emotion at all in her voice. She stepped down from the tree and walked towards Inuyasha.

Kikyo had a scratch on her leg from Naraku. It was bleeding a lot. Kikyo stopped in front of Inuyasha but fell from the weight on her wounded leg. Inuyasha caught her before she hit the ground. He held her in a soft and warm embrace.

Kagome gasped when she saw them together. "This can't be happening," Kagome mumbled. She tightened her grip on her bow and pulled the string back.

"Inuyasha," Kikyo whispered then pulled out a small necklace with a small jewel on it. "The shards of the jewel are with me." Kikyo lifted up the necklace and showed Inuyasha the very few jewel fragments she had on the necklace.

"You have the last shards," Inuyasha started.

Kagome saw the jewel and quickly fired the arrow at Kikyo's back. It hit her and Kikyo felt the sting of the arrow but she wanted to find out what Inuyasha was going to say.

"The shards to bring you back to life," Inuyasha finished. He felt Kikyo's body shiver and watched her fall to the ground. An arrow was stuck in her back.

Kikyo wasn't going to give in. She wasn't going to suffer because of the arrow in her back. Her eyes stood open and she kept breathing. Kikyo couldn't hold on any longer for now. Her eyes closed and she fainted with the jewel disappearing into her hand.
