Kikyou sat in the dark as she stood up, the hospital was in shrieks everything was so loud…Kikyou stumbled slightly as she heard a piano play in the background. "What this song…" Kikyou thought managing to rise to a stand the music getting louder as the screams seemed to fade away and the piano was the only thing being heard, ringing through the darkness.

'I know this song…' Kikyou thought to herself as she began to hum the melody to herself, walking towards the sound as she fell once again rising to look at the full length mirror before her in the darkness, her reflection showing the upset girl as the image faded to that much of her sister.

I've been looking in the mirror so long

That I've come to believe my souls on the other side.

Kikyou sang the words with ease as she stared at her sister in the mirror, her hand reaching up to touch the glass fixture, the full length breaking into thousands of pieces under her touch.

Oh the little pieces falling shatter

Shards of me,
To sharp to put back together.
To small to matter,
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.

Kikyou began to clean up the mess, and as within the word cut, a piece of glass cut through her hand, cutting down into her palm. Kikyou could see even in the darkness the thick blood that ran down her arm as she cringed in pain.

If I try to touch her

And I bleed

I bleed

And I breathe no more

Kikyou continued to sing the song in a slow and graceful ease, her voice soft and gentle as if she had song the song her entire life, and not just heard it. She removed the piece of glass from her hand, the image of her sister smiling back at her.

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.

Kikyou licked her hand slightly, tending to her wound in the darkness, the eerie feeling as if she were alone, rising in her chest, her voice never missing a beat as she began to sing.

Lie to me,

Convince me I've been sick forever

And all of this will make sense when I get better

"Do you hear that voice?"

"Yea… Can you tell where it's coming from?"

"No…There singing…"

Kikyou held her head, 'Your wrong' she thought to herself 'I am hurt…' She felt her head began to swirl as she leaned over her voice trembling as she looked down to the several shards of the mirror.

I know the difference

Between myself and my reflection

I just can't help but to wonder

Which of us do you love?

Kikyou looked, gasping slightly as she pulled back, the image of Inuyasha and Kagome filled into the glass together. "Do you love her?" Kikyou asked the reflection, lifting a handful of glass up towards her, the glass looked like water in her hands as her image faded back

So I bleed,

I bleed

And I breathe

I breathe no…

I breathe

I breathe

I breathe no more…

Kikyou's voice rose louder now, echoing through the chambers of the hospital as she through the glass down her hands being cut severely, as she watched the lights go on, two hospital men looking at her afraid. She lay there blood running down her arms, pieces of glass all around her.

"What the hell happened?" They asked, one moving to help her up, tears streamed down Kikyou's face as she went to wipe them her blood staining her cheeks.

"You sing quite well, it's amazing by the time you finished the lights were on and everything"

"Yes she is quite good"

Kikyou said nothing as she looked at her bloody hands the two looking at her seriously. "We need to get that cleaned up, here go in the room with your friend and once the nurse is done with him, she'll help you as well…" he said holding the door open for her.

"Of course" Kikyou said holding her head slightly, 'How did it happen' Kikyou thought to herself, the reflections, the music, the song, the blood, it was so so real, but could it have actually happen?

Sesshomaru looked at her sitting up slightly, his shirt was off and his whole lower abdominal was wrapped with bandages, a small frown on his face as he looked at her. "What happened?"

"I honestly…don't know…" Kikyou said as she began to hum the melody once again as if she were starting over and going to relive that moment….as if for some reason the pain appealed to her…

"Breathe no more?" The nurse said smiling slightly; frowning at Kikyou's hands as she began to wrap them up before continuing "I love that song" She paused looking at Kikyou's hands and them up and down her. "The song fits you" "Yea…" Kikyou smiled weakly "Yes it does."
