Chapter 1: Nothingness

The cold impartial eyes of the once great priestess watched down her former home from fifty years

before. Her expression remained cold and indifferent as she turned away, but down below her

former lover turned quickly from entering her younger sisters hut to see her to disappear just from

view.

"Kikyo." He said to himself with a slightly annoyed , placing his hand the hilt of the Tetsusaiga and

ran towards the cliff face. He lept up to Kikyo's former look out and called out. "Kikyo! Show

yourself!"

The cold faced woman slid out of the brush, silent, with a bow and arrow drawn.

"Inu Yasha, you are going to hell with me now." She said letting an arrow fly, it glowing purple

brightly. Inu Yasha's eyes widened and drew the Tetsusaiga, blocking the arrow.

"Feh. You are more stupid than Kagome, this old trick again. He lept behind Kikyo, his voice and

expression became softer as he sheathed his sword and took hold of her arms .

" Kikyo… I wish….I wish I could have saved you, but I failed. I allowed you to destroy the both of

us and our future." His voice tightened, "But I couldn't protect you, and as I have tried to explain to

you … I am going to defeat Naraku, avenge your death," He paused, " and send you back to the

after life where you should have stayed!" Pushing her forward. She turned to face him, but missed

her step and fell back onto the ground.

"Inu Yasha.." Her voice cracked slightly, holding her arms above her head preparing for the blow

by the Tetsusaiga, and then she awakened.

Kikyo sat up with a jolt from sleeping one of the very rare times she did so. The dream she had was

one that replayed all times she allowed herself to fall into any sort of sleep, except this dream did not

end as usual. Usually it would end with Inu Yasha calling her an empty bitch and telling her she was

now nothing but an empty shell, but this time Inu Yasha was to actually going to send her back to

hell- a once empty promise. This dream was meant to tell her something- Inu Yasha is falling in love

with Kagome and if she was to attack her reincarnate again he would protect her…kill for her.. "I

guess I am really that empty…" she said looking at her pale clay flesh hands which became clutched

fists. Her cold empty voice caught Sesshoumaru's ears, he listened indifferently but something

peeked his interest. "…She has stolen everything from me..my soul, my life, my family, and….my

Inu Yasha. She needs to pay...no she needs to die."

"Hmn…interesting." Sesshoumaru said as Kikyo's voice trailed off. " I think I shall pay my little

brother a visit come day light."
