(Recap) Kikyo pulled the string on the bow back, aiming the arrow straight at Kagome's chest. Kikyo smirked at the fact Inuyasha was till frozen in shock, and couldn't possibly get to Kagome in time. Without another thought, she let the arrow fly, loving every second of it. The arrow headed straight to where Kagome's heart was, and Inuyasha was still frozen, as if under a spell.
(start) Inuyasha finally snapped out of his Kikyo-induced daze and realized that his Shikon-seeking partner was in danger. He ran in front of Kagome with his demon speed and took the arrow in the chest, where Kikyo had intended to hit Kagome.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried out, tears streaming from her eyes. Inuyasha fell motionless to the ground. Kagome fell to her knees, beside the hanyou, unable to speak.
Kikyo's eyes widened for a minute. She thought that Inuyasha wouldn't be able to save Kagome in time. Apparently, she was wrong. Kikyo then thought about this strange twist of fate and smirked once again. She had finally taken her revenge on the hanyou who had betrayed her love and trust so many years before, unknowing that Naraku was the one who had turned Inuyasha and herself against one another.
"Heh..what a pitiful way to die." Kikyo said, looking at Inuyasha, still smiling to herself.
"To sacrifice yourself for this wench..I truly expected better of you, Inuyasha." She looked down at him with pity, and then turned her gaze toward Kagome, giving a cold stare.
Kagome clenched her fist and teeth.
"..You..Bitch" Said Kagome, standing up, her bangs covering her eyes.
"You self-centered, wench" Kagome said, lifting her head and giving Kikyo a cold glare. Kikyo blinked; she had never heard Kagome say anything like that before.
"Inuyasha still cared about you..and you" Kagome couldn't finish her sentence, she was so angry. Tears filled her eyes at the thought of Inuyasha and Kikyo together. This made Kikyo smirk and laugh.
"So, you loved the hanyou, did you?" Kikyo sneered.
"Heh..both of you are pitiful fools. Inuyasha was in love with me, you were in love with Inuyasha, and I despised him" She laughed.
"If only the half-breed could see that, but it's too late now." Kikyo smirked and laughed once again.
Kagome had enough. She picked up her bow and arrows and aimed it at Kikyo, who was too busy in her own bliss to notice. Kagome pulled back the string and took careful aim.
"FUCK YOU, YOU 2-FACED, BACK-STABBING, EVIL BITCH FROM HELL!!!!" Kagome yelled, letting the arrow fly, whizzing towards Kikyo.
Kikyo finally snapped out of it 2 seconds before the arrow hit its target. It pierced Kikyo right in the chest, where she had intended to hit Kagome. Kikyo's eyes widened, as she fell to the ground. She felt her soul being released from her body and saw as it returned into Kagome.
Kagome stepped back from the force of the rest of her soul entering her body. When the soul was fully transferred, Kagome felt rejuvenated and looked at Kikyo. Kagome then walked over to her and looked down on her with pity.
Suddenly, Kikyo reached up and pulled Kagome down, smiling. Kagome gripped an arrow in her hand, ready if Kikyo tried anything.
"Thank..you.." Kikyo whispered, smiling weakly up at Kagome. Kagome blinked, then smiled softly back. Kikyo slowly closed her eyes, as her smile disappeared and her grip on Kagome's sleeve loosened.
Kagome stood up and watched as Kikyo's body turned back into it's original forms: Clay and ashes. A soft breeze blew and swept Kikyo's remains away, as a blue-ish white light came from them. It was Kikyo's own spirit. The spirit flew around Kagome and seemed to whisper something. Kagome closed her eyes and listened.
"..I understand." Kagome said, opening her eyes again and looking at Inuyasha. Kikyo's spirit flew over to Inuyasha and Kagome followed. She knelt down beside him and placed her hands on his chest, where the arrow had hit, and whispered what sounded like a spell. The spirit then went in Inuyasha's body, where Kagome had her hands and his body started to glow a blue-ish light.
Kagome chanted a few more words and took her hands off his chest, watching the light become a bright white, then fade. She held Inuyasha's hand, hoping and waiting. After a few seconds passed, Kagome felt Inuyasha hold her hand and looked at his face. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Kagome, who had tears streaming down her face.
He sat up, still looking into Kagome's eyes.
"Inuyasha" Kagome whispered in disbelief. She hugged him tightly, almost making him fall back.
".." Inuyasha said nothing, just hugged back, tightly.
"..It's ok, Kagome. I'm here." Inuyasha said, after a few seconds passed. Kagome just buried her face in his shoulder, letting the last of the tears fall. Inuyasha looked around and realized that Kikyo wasn't anywhere to be seen.
"Kagome, what happened to Kikyo?" He questioned, releasing the hug and looking Kagome in the eyes.
".." Kagome looked down. She hadn't thought about what Inuyasha would think if she killed Kikyo.
"Tell me." Inuyasha said, seeing the troubled look on Kagome's face.
"..I..I killed.." Kagome couldn't finish her sentence. She was afraid of what Inuyasha might think or do.
"..you killed her?!" Inuyasha asked, raising his voice.
