The Sun and the Moon
They were like the Sun and the Moon to him.
Kikyou was the Sun - her power being so superior, so radiant, so great. Kagome's power was more subtle, less blinding, but strong enough to illuminate the skies. The Sun's rays could burn his skin if it was exposed to them for too long. He could bathe in moonlight the whole night and feel no pain, only serenity.
They both were generous with their kindness, just like the Sun and the Moon were shining down both at good and evil, at weak and strong. They were so adamant about helping those in need, even if it would put them in harm's way.
Melancholy would sometimes cloud Kikyou's eyes like clouds obscuring the radiance of the Sun. She was steadfast, unwilling to change her opinions, her ways. And as the Moon was changing its phases and paths Kagome was willing to adapt, to change, to open her heart just a little wider to let in a filthy half-breed, unworthy of pity of such pure beings like them.
While Kikyou's world was mostly dark and light fighting each other for dominance - just like the shadows of objects defined by the sunlight - Kagome's world was full of different shades of grey between the darkness and light, their borders softer and more inclined to change in time and experience - it was like the forest at night, with soft shadows of tree limbs swaying on the wind.
They were similar, but not identical. None was a copy of the other, each was beautiful and full of grace, of different worlds, but with the same love for life and goodness of heart.
As much as he liked the Sun Inuyasha was a lunar being.
A/N: I'm sorry I'm so quiet as of late. Most days when I have a while to write I'm too tired/too depressed to do much of it. And even if I write something down it's usually ugly af, so yeah.
