--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha: Inuyasha watched the sunrise slowly from the east, it sent a wonderful array of oranges and reds across the dark blue sky. The dream was still fresh in his memory, even though he had been traveling three days now in the search for a woman he had once loved. Inuyasha searched his heart for any remaining feelings for Kikyo, and it startled him when he found a certain tingle for the woman. Was Kagome right? How hard would it be to take out revenge on Kagome's death? Some part of him found satisfaction on the thought of Kikyo's crimson blood splayed across the ground. But could he really kill her? Yet another part of him remembered the memories of the time that he had shared with Kikyo before Naraku. The time at the dock when she had falling into him, and he had grabbed ahold of her small body, and held it long and tight, never wanting to let go. The thoughts had been constantly on his mind for the past three days, and it was driving him crazy with the possibilities of how this was all going to end. For so long he had loved Kikyo, and his mind wasn't ready to completely let go of her.
"I knew you'd come looking for me," she muttered.
He whipped around swiftly, and found her leaning against a tree, her dark eyes pinning him still. He stood there for a long moment, unsure of what to say to her. His mouth opened and closed hastily, but each word fell flat as soon as it came to mind. How could he say all that he meant to say to a woman who Kagome was a reincarnation of, to a woman he had once loved as much as he loved Kagome now. Then his mind filled with the sight of Kagome's still lifeless body, congualing blood staining the earth a sickly dark red-black. He felt anger swell in his body, it began slowly, and increased as the silence wore on until he could feel the blood rushing in his head. He was going to explode on this small woman with everything that he felt Kagome deserved, but now had lost. But Kikyo spoke first.
"I had to do it," she said, her eyes looking away from him into the sky. There was a part of her that looked ashamed of her action, but when she looked back that small glimpse of her psyche was gone.
"I don't care for the reason, the fact is you killed Kagome out of cold blood!" he shouted, his anger emptying away from his body, and filling anew the more he thought about what he was going to say.
She moved towards him with quick lightening speed, so fast he could barely react, until she was behind him grasping ahold harshly of his shoulders so he couldn't move away. Her fingers no longer felt soft, they were more like the claws of a demon grasping ahold hungrily for is flesh. He tried to pull away from her, but he was stuck, motionless, and unable to protest to her actions. Was this a spell? She went up to close to his ear, brushing her smooth skin against his, sending tingles shooting down his body. His anger slowly ebbed away until all he could remember was the sweet innocent Kikyo of the past.
" I love you Inuyasha," she whispered. His mind filled with memories of the past, all the memories that had kept him in love with her for so long. He turned towards her, his eyes wide and dialated, in trance, he slowly wrapped his arms around her body, and she gave a sweet yet uninnocent smile. She had him trapped like a bug in a spider web in her spell, and she would take him to be hers forever. This is what she had planned to do a long time ago, but Kagome had intrupted her spell over Inuyasha when she had call out to him. This was why she had to kill Kagome, because the girl would have never let her have Inuyasha. And Kikyo too, was jealous of the girl, she had stolen Inuyasha from her.
"Inuyasha, will you come with me to the other world?" she asked.
Inuyasha looked into Kikyo's hallow eyes, dazed and unable to think for himself.A small part of him was protesting inside, he knew he needed to get away, but it seemed so difficult, his body was no longer his own. His mind had betrayed him to fall back in love with a woman he felt little for, and he was slowly forgetting about why he had even come here. Little by little Inuyasha closed his eyes, he was falling farther and farther into Kikyo's spell, and soon he would give up himself to her. No longer did he find himself a lover of Kikyo's, he was merely her plaything, and now she wold take her toy into the depths of hell, like she had planned.
"Inuyasha?" asked a sweet childish voice. " Inuyasha, where are you?"
"Ka-Kagome?" questioned Inuyasha, his ears perking towards the source of her voice.
Kikyo gave a harsh cry of hatred, it came out as a gutrial hiss. "Nooo! Inuyasha, you love me," she cried in vain. Her eyes were wide orbs of darkness as she realized that she would never win Inuyasha's heart, even if the Kagome was dead. Inuyasha opened his eyes, and gazed long and endearingly at Kikyo's face. But instead of seeing the wild and frantic eyed Kikyo that was reality, he saw the sweet face of Kagome staring back at him.
"I love you, Inuyasha," cried Kikyo. " I love you."
"I know Kagome," replied Inuyasha.
Kikyo's hatred towards Kagome grew with a great passion, the girl was dead, and still she had Inuyasha in her grasp. Kikyo would never be able to take Inyasha with her into the firey and dark depths of hell. She needed him to be hers forever, but it was no longer possible. She felt her power over Inuyasha begin to fade as the hanyou's eyes took in not her face, but the face of the woman she had killed three days before. Pushing Inuyasha away from her body Kikyo fell to the ground, and her spell over Inuyasha's mind and body was severed short of is completion. Wheeling backwards from the force of the blow Inuyasha fell bluntly against a tree trunk. The both stared at each other panting, as sweat fell from brows, and hearts prepared to say what each felt was most important before the final battle would ensue. They both knew that the passion they had felt so long ago was broken, and would never return to their hearts, Kagome, even in death had made sure of it.
"I will never have you as my own, will I?" asked Kikyo, her eyes full of hatred now.
"I love Kagome," Inuyasha stated bluntly. " And you took her away from me, you bitch!"
Kikyo gasped, he held such hatred towards her, as much hatred as she felt for Kagome. It was enough hatred to end Kagome's life, and now Inuyasha posest it as a weapn towards her. Inuyasha's feeling toward Kikyo were known, and this battle for his heart was now a battle for Kikyo's life. Kikyo stood up swiftly, and placed a hand protectively on one of her arrows, her fingers played with the soft white feathers. Inuyasha too stood, and lifted an arm, baring the razor sharp claws, flexing he heard the cracking of his bones, as he rushed with anger flaring in his heart towards a woman who was now just a flicker of a memory of a time that no longer mattered. He felt the twing of bow string, and the zinging sound of an arrow whizzing through the air. With true aim the arrow struck strong into Inyasha's chest, barely missing his heart. With a howl of hatred Inuyasha brougt up his claws toward Kikyo's chest.
Kikyo: In pure shock Kikyo's mouth opened wide as her eyes searched his back and forth for one last hint that he felt something for her. But she found nothing there, only darkness awaited her. She looked down just as he with drew his hand, a squishy plucking sound was made, followed by a gush of blood. Pain wracked Kikyo's body, sending her into spasms as she fought for breath. It would be a quick death though, she could already see the demons from hell coming for her soul. Only one thought crossed her mind, in truth, this wasn't even her soul, it was Kagome's.
Inuyasha: Inuyasha stared at Kikyo's blood as it washed away from his hand, mixing into the flowing water of the stream. He had buried her body where she had fallen, he was angery with the woman, but not enough not to give her a proper burial. After all he had once loved the woman as much as he loved Kagome now, bu when he thought of Kikyo now, all he felt was a hallowness where there was once a tingle. Gazing into the setting sun he knew exactly what he must do next. He had to find the rest of the gang, for Kagome. And if they defeated Naraku, and completed the Shikon Jewel, perhaps with their combined love for Kagome they could all wish her back. Such a wish would undoubtably purify the jewel, making it cease to exist. It was what Kagome wanted.
Her: She was floating through the misty clouds in search of something that was lost, she was sure it was lost. Everything seemed so hazy, like nothing seemed to be what it was anymore. She was suppose to go to a gate somewhere, but where, and a part of her didn't want to go there, because she knew there was something she had to do first. She was mixed up, because whatever she had lost was what held her together. She felt like crying out, but she couldn't make a sound, for she had nothing to make a sound with. Confused, she felt confused, and lost.
Looking around she couldn't see anything but dark hazy figures, and inanimate object of great stature. Everything was different, this was not how it was suppose to be, something, or some part of her was missing. I need you? But who was it that she needed so badly. A glimpse of silver hair, and a sleepy boy under the sun. At last she found someone she could use, something that she could make her own. A body of a female hanyou in a small forest clearing. Looking closer at the body she saw no movement of the rib cage, nor was there a sound of a heartbeat. This was a dead female hanyou, but it was just what she needed. She was not sure for the female hanyou's death, but it had only been moments before she came. Greedily she entered the mouth of the body, the demon from hell surrounding the body left hastily when they felt a new soul enter. The hanyou body glowed intensly for a few second, so bright that it lit up the sky for miles and miles to see. Creature, demons, and humans everywhere looked up in wonder of the spectical before
them.
She breathed in the sweet air around her. Rising from the ground she listened to the steady beat of her heart. The image of the silver haired boy filled her mind again, who was this boy? Looking down at her hands she saw that they had renewed themselves to match her age, she remembered a small part of herself, she was fifteen. But she still faced a great dilehma, she had no clue who she really was, she didn't even know her name.
"You there," said an eeirely male voice.
She looked up to see three people standing before her in the shadows of the trees. There was a man in a white baboon suit, a older woman with a fan in her hand, and albino child holding a mirror. When they saw her face the older woman looked shocked, gliding from behind the male the older woman hastily made her way towards the girl. Pointing the fan at her neck, the woman spoke, " What are you doing here alone? Where is Inuyasha?"
"Inuyasha?" asked the girl. " Who is that?"
The older woman turned back to her comrades, even more shocked than she was before. The man began to laugh crazily, "This will work out to our advantage," he exclaimed.
