Chapter 17
Kikyo is still crying when Kaede is back to the hut again. She didn't know what to say. Nothing is matter now.. for Kikyo. The only man that she ever loved….had left her for good now. Poor thing….I wonder if Kikyo hadn't met Inuyasha….she may be happier in her life dedicated as a Miko. Fate is something that you can't undo. Now when you at last have become human, you lost Inuyasha. Where all did go wrong? Kaede thinks. Then the music starts…..
Dearest by Ayumi Hamasaki (in English Translation)
Dedicated for Tragic Kikyo…….
It would be nice if we could put away and
throw out everything except what really mattered, but reality is just cruel.
In such times, I see you laughing whenever I close my eyes.
Until the day I reach eternal sleep, that smiling face will have to stay with me without fail.
People are all sad, so they go and forget, but--
For that which I should love, For that which gives me love, I will do what I can.
Back then, when we met, it was all awkward.
We went the long way, didn't we?
We got hurt, didn't we?
Until the day I reach eternal sleep,
that smiling face will have to stay with me without fail.
Back then, when we met, it was all awkward.
We went the long way, didn't we? We got there in the end.
The music ends...
After a while…there is silent in the room…..Then all of sudden Kikyo got up and took her bow and arrows. She walked away from Kaede's hut.
"Sis….where are you going? You are always welcomed to stay here with me….I mean if you have no where to go",said Kaede worries about Kikyo.
"Kaede isn't that obvious what I am going to do!",Kikyo said in pain.
"What are you going to do….sis?",asked Kaede now standing besides Kikyo.
"To kill Kagome and her bastard child…..then Inuyasha….",said Kikyo with the evil look all over her face.
"What!STOP IT! This has to end here….no more revenge…no more hatred…sis…It's over….They are belong together….can't you see that",said Kaede is really worried now what her sister had become right now.
"No one can stop me….not even you. I should have killed those two.. all along when Naraku was still around. However….with Shikon No Tama on my hand. None will able to defeat me…",said Kikyo.
"No…please don't do it. You will stain the Shikon No Tama again. Just give that back to me",asked Kaede. She is scared now….with that condition the Shino No Tama will be tainted with evil power again.
"Ha……ha…..ha…It's too late….Kaede….I already did that",said Kikyo showed the shard to Kaede.
Kaede watched in horror as she saw the Shikon No Tama is now completely black…Again!
"It can't be Kikyo…you are a Miko who is supposed to purify those shards…..because of your hatred…you have tainted the Shiko No Tama….Can't you forgive Inuyasha and Kagome?",said Kaede in tears.
"Kaede there are only two options between me and Inuyasha, either we are lovers or enemies. It seems the second option is always the best choice for us. He had broken my heart so badly. I, the woman who died for him….who loved him with all her soul. He just replaced me with an ordinary woman who doesn't even know how to use the bow properly. She is my reincarnation? Huh….don't make me laugh. You'll see Kaede…I will get what I want in the end….I am Kikyo…the best Miko…..ha…..ha",Kikyo now laughing in madness. Suddenly Kaede realised that her beautiful sister Kikyo is not with her anymore. Kikyo has lost her pure soul.
"I am sorry sis….I won't let you hurt other people….we had suffered already when Naraku was around….Please don't do it….Let all the people here live in peace", begged Kaede.
"Then what about my feeling? Who will care for that? Are those people … care for my feeling….the old and unlucky Kikyo….No one….Kaede….So don't stop me…",said Kikyo pushed Kaede away.
"I won't let you….give me back the Shikon No Tama", demanded Kaede.
"Kaede….get out of my sight….or you will be sorry…",said Kikyo in anger.
"I am sorry ….I am a Miko in this village….I will not let you harm innocent people because of your evil purpose", said Kaede now standing in front of Kikyo.
"So be it….if you want to do that…..I WON'T BE HESITATE…..", yelled Kikyo and at the same time she pulled her arrow from the bow charged to Kaede.
Kaede dodges it to the left….Her reaction makes Kikyo becomes angrier.
"You ask for it…..Kaede….this is time you will not able to handle it….PREPARE TO DIE!",with her full strength…Kikyo has charged another arrow to Kaede.
"eck……………agh………how could you…...you kill me. You are my only sister…..you are a miko…We are supposed to help people", said Kaede…her body is falling to the ground with the arrow on her chest….blood all over her white kimono and then she closed her eyes.
Kikyo looked at Kaede without any expression on her face.
"Even though you are my sister….but your preferences is more to Kagome than me….don't you know that Inuyasha belongs to me….FOREVER!" screamed Kikyo and walked away.
MEANWHILE AT THE WELL
Inuyasha is getting ready to jump now.
"Kagome…..I am coming to get you and our baby………WAAAAAIT FOR ME!"
When he is reaching the end of the time tunnel …. suddenly his body just stuck on the big wall on the very end…l.
"What the fuck is this? ……Normally this wasn't here?",
Again Inuyasha pushed his body…. kicked his feets very hard towards the wall…still it won't opened. Ok …may be this will ….work…..SHAN KON TET SU with his claw to the wall….nothing happened also. Inuyasha do it over again and again hitting his body and his claw to the wall….The blood is coming all over his hand and arms with all the bruises.
"I won't…..give up…..Kagome…..I won't….There must be a way for this….. I WON'T ACCEPT THIS", screamed Inuyasha almost cried.
Is this means….the connection between my time and Kagome's is closed…..NOOOOOOOO!...I..won't…accept…..this…..I...won't….KAGOME! KAGOME…..where are you?I will not stop searching for you even I have to die….I …Inuyasha will never give up on you….",
Inuyasha is hitting his fist in madness to the wall till he got completely worn out and becomes unconscious inside the well. His blood is all over his red kimono.
At the hospital (Kagome's Era)
At the same time….Kagome suddenly awakes from her sleep and jumps from the bed……her action makes Mrs. Higurashi looked at her surprisingly.
"What's the matter….Kagome…Are you alright?".
"Mama where is Yukio?",asked Kagome
"He is sleeping in the nursing room….you have just breastfeeding her…..don't you remember?".
"Oh….I am sorry to worry you…mama...I am fine", Kagome goes back to sleep. What's this feeling….why she felt someone has called her name…..Is that Inuyasha…..? Is he in trouble….?
She got up immediately now…..and said to Mrs. Higurashi…
"Mama….I have to go back to the shrine now….Inuyasha is in trouble", said Kagome tried to stand.
"What!No way I let you see him again…..besides that… did you know how many miles we are from our old house now…..Go back to sleep again ….Kagome. You need to rest….",said Mrs. Higurashi in anger.
"Mama….I can feel it…..he is in trouble….please mama…I..have….",said Kagome in tears…..She tried to walk but all of sudden she feel everything is dark. She can only hear her mum's voice….but slowly slowly is gone.
"Kagome….Kagome are you alright? I told you not to get up….your body is still weak….why don't you listen……Nurse…..nurse…..please help my daughter… is fainted…..",
