Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. This story I do.
_Mistake 2_
She was losing strength quickly but continuing forward was her only goal, failure was not an option. Even with her ability to heal others she couldn't heal her own wounds but she could focus some of that power to help minimize blood loss; all she needed was a little more time.
Leaving a trail of blood in her wake there was only one destination in mind. She knew what would be found; the panicked yells from the villagers permeated the air.
Total destruction.
She expected nothing else from a treacherous demon.
The one chance she had to dictate her OWN future and it bursts into flames. How did things go wrong so fast?
Blinking rapidly to dispel the blackness from her vision she knew she had to finish what had been started.
Even in such a weakened state she recognized the aura coming her way. If the timing was just right everything would soon be over, hopefully in time to avoid any permanent damage.
Clutching her bow tightly, to still the slight shaking of her hands, she notched the arrow and waited. Coming closer and closer towards her until he crossed her path, she let the arrow fly.
INUYASHA!
Flying true, the arrow struck and the "thwath" of arrow hitting tree was the only thing that could be heard. She saw him raise his arm towards her and speak but was too far away to hear anything before his body disintegrated into pink dust, the jewel falling to the floor.
Taken aback by the purification, anger had made her lose control, she thought guilt would follow her actions but was surprised when only anger, disappointment and embarrassment greeted her.
Dropping to the floor, she let herself fall into darkness's comforting arms, safe in the knowledge that Kaede would soon arrive.
Authors note: Uggg this chapter was hard to write. Kikyo is my least favorite character so anything involving her is difficult to finish. Thanks for reading!
