Kagome M K -I tried…… I really did

A young girl, a child all most resembling Kikyo herself, was lying on the bank of a stream. The child was a halfling protected by a demon. Even though it was her dream Kikyo could barely hear what was being said by the male demon.

"Tasho betrayed her love."

A sharp cry woke the miko and she hurried to comfort her bawling child.

"Hush, Tokero hush. It will be fine." Kikyo rocked her daughter till it slipped into a deep slumber. She walked to the window and gazed out into the moonless sky. Though it had been some time, nine months had not been enough for her. Placing Tokero with her father, Kikyo left the house with a heavy heart and dry eyes. Even if she was scared, a miko always knows when it's her time to die. Before she entered the forbidding clearing Kikyo muttered a quick prayer.

"Kikyo!" Tasho cried rushing up to her. "I knew you would not forget me! Did you bring the jewel?" He asked this question but Tasho's eyes had never left her throat sense she had arrived. Realizing this, the wall of tears cascaded down her cheeks.

"Y-yes Tasho, I have it."

"Wonderful!" He exclaimed, seemingly taking no notice of her tears. Tasho had, of course, noticed her sobbing. As much as he wanted to, however, his mission must be put first.

"Don't waste time Kikyo, hand me the jewel." Nodding silently she reached up and carefully unlatched her curse from around her neck. Trembling from head to foot she handed it to him. Tasho inspected the jewel for a full 30 seconds before closing his eyes. With the fluid grace only a demon could possess, he sliced Kikyo in one clean stroke from her right shoulder to her left thigh. Silently wishing he could be dead instead he turned to leave, only to hear a cackle erupt behind him.

"You are a terribly predictable demon." Behind him, Kikyo knelt on the ground, using the last of her power to keep alive long enough to say her peace.

"I truly loved you Inu Tasho, but my feelings for you will not over ride my duties as a priestess. Hope you like humans Tasho because from now on you and all of your descendents will become one every new moon. Don't even think of breaking it, the only cure is for a descendent of mine with mixed blood to truly love a spawn of your clan. So you Tasho, my love, are doomed." Tears cascaded down her cheeks. She pulled a clenched fist from the heart of her wound and died with a bemused smile playing across her lips. Tasho took a step towards the girl he wasn't supposed to love.

"Forgive me Kikyo." Placing the Shikon no Tama over her heart he left her to be found by the villagers. He watched over her the rest of the night. In his head he played the life they could have had.

"So…… forgive me Lord Sesshomaru but I still don't understand." Sesshomaru only spared one single annoyed look at his minion before returning his gaze to the sleeping form of Kagome.

"In another words I must make this half breed love me to break this damn curse my idiot father caused!" Adrenaline pumping he sprang to his feet and picked up Kagome. "Come Jakken, I believe my little brother will have discovered the theft soon. And I don't want to be here when he does."

Well there we go the conclusion of my flashback now what? I really am open to suggestions simply my muse can't make up her mind and neither can I so any ideas people?
