Her maple eyes watched from the trees, black hair curling around her body like the shadows. The trees whispered to Lady Kikyou the words of her one-time lover, carrying his words to her awaiting ears. Inuyasha was so wrapped up with his pet, Kagome, he never even knew she was there.
"Of course I love you, Kagome...Kikyou is only a shade of who you are...never doubt that it's you I love, got it?"
She didn't need to hear any more. The miko stood, turning her back to them, and fighting the stinging in her eyes. No crying, she thought fiercly. It's not like she didn't know...
"From priestess to spy," a velvety voice murmured from the darkness. "How amusing."
Kikyou turned her head to look at Naraku directly. "It's none of your buisness," she snapped, though her voice broke on the last word, and two small streams decended upon her cheeks.
He watched her cry, moving from his perch on a higher branch to hers, his anger towards her fading into a familiar and hated sadness. His crimson gaze shifted from her, back towards the scene from which she had come. The wind still carried the silver-haired hanyou's sweet whisperings to his newest romance. It made him sick.
Goodnight, sleep tight, No more tears... In the morning I'll be here.
"Kikyou..." Naraku said quietly, his hand reaching to touch her stained cheek. She slapped his hand away, and lept to the ground, walking towards the darkness of the forest.
The young girl rubbed her cheek...she could still feel his touch. A mix of disgust and longing stabbed through her. It was hopeless. It always would be. She stopped, her bare feet cold against the dew-soaked grass, and she glanced back over her shoulder.
And when we say goodnight, Dry your eyes...
"Naraku..." Kikyou started, hesitantly.
"Yes?"
She opened her mouth, then sighed, wiping the tears off her face. "Never mind...goodnight."
Because we said goodnight, And not goodbye...
He watched her turn, and disappear into the trees. "...Goodnight..."
We said goodnight... And not goodbye.
