Dear readers. Ok sorry again for not updating I'm really going to work on it now. Every time I read a fan fiction I just can't seem to get the fact that I have to update off my mind.

To all those who still believe in me thank you! Your reviews mean so much to me! I want to thank you all so much for sticking with me this hasn't been the easiest year for me. But anyways here you go.

Chapter 19 – A tragic end

Muso gazed down at Kagome as she lay underneath his body. She looked like an angel to him, she always had. With her long onyx hair, something he had always longed to touch. Reaching down he gently ran his hand through her hair. It was just as he had dreamed soft like the finest silk. Yes he had wanted her badly, and he knew she had wanted him. The way she toyed with him in class when ever blushed when she caught him looking at her. Oh yes she wanted him, that was clear and now finally after all these years she would finally have her. And yet…why did she have a look of fear on her face? Her eyes were clenched tightly shut, and a single tear ran down her cheek. Reaching out with a finger he gently wiped it away. Startled at how she flinched when he touched her cheek.

"No," She whispered, it was so soft that he almost didn't catch it.

Muso could feel his heart ache at Kagomes unhappiness and at what he was putting her through. But just as quickly as it came the feeling vanished. Reminding himself that she was his after all, and soon enough she would grow used to his presence after all, and she would soon learn to want him as much as he wanted her.

Kagome's POV

Kagome could feel her self shaking as Muso laid overtop her. She could feel the heat as it radiated off his body. Long ago all thoughts of him stopping had left, and now all hopes of Sesshomaru coming to her aid had left to. For the first time in so long she truly felt alone. It was like an old friend coming back to you, she felt the weight of being alone settle once more onto her chest. Bringing with it old memories, loneliness, and fear. For too long she had grown used to having Sesshomaru protect her, but how could she not? When ever she needed him he was always there, when ever she needed his help she had but to call. A single tear ran down her cheek as she thought of her loss. Sesshomaru would no longer be able to save her, she had lost the only man she would ever love, and with it lost all traces of ever being happy again.

A hand on her cheek brought her out of her stupor. Remembering where she was and just who was atop her Kagome couldn't help but shudder as she protested weakly to the unwanted touch. Bringing with it memories of the time Sesshomaru had saved her from the snake youkai. But wait, it wasn't Sesshomaru who had saved her, she had saved herself. In the distance a flame burst into life. Instinct took over and Kagome fought desperately to call on her powers. Panicking she searched for the power, praying to feel the familiar stir of energy that had lain dormant beneath her skin all her life.

Relief swept through her when she felt something stir. Desperate to be free she called to it bringing it to the surface; it was like drawing water from sand. But finally she was able to draw the powers to the surface breaking through the wall that had held them back. Creating one of the biggest mistakes of her life.

The second the power broke free she knew something was wrong. Intense anger and pain swept through her body, it felt like fire was sweeping through her veins once more. Before she could even attempt to control the burning inferno everything went black.

Muso shot back from Kagome. "HOLY SHIT!" he screamed both from the pain he had just received and the sight that was before him.

Kagome's body was glowing a deep purple, and was lifted of the ground like it was being pulled by invisible ropes on her wrists and ankles. Bringing her arms out to the fullest extent as her head and hands hung limply. Her hair which now shared the same glow was whipped around her. Once she was raised upright transparent wings sprouted from her shoulder blades glowing a deep red, they dwarfed Kagome's small body.

Muso tried to scramble back and run away but his body wouldn't move. No matter how much his brain screamed at his muscles to move they stayed put, leaving him unable to move even a finger.

Kagome opened her eyes and looked down at Muso who was cowering beneath her. Her eyes nothing but a sheet of glowing purple, there where no pupils, the effect was both mesmerizing and frighting at the same time.

Muso felt something hot run down his cheeks as he some how looked up into the eyes of what used to be his Kagome.

"You hurt my mistress," The voice that came from Kagomes mouth was not her own. It was deeper, and filled with so much anger and contempt it would bring anyone to their knees. This was no longer the gentle miko he had obsessed over; this was something all together different, and much worse.

"And for that you shall pay" Bringing her hands in front of her Muso watched as a small orb of what looked like red electricity was formed. The sphere crackled and sparked, as it grew bigger at a rapid pace.

Kagome's eyes fluttered open, confused she looked around her self. Everything around her… it was black. Standing she found that she was wearing clothes and judging by their feel she was wearing her miko outfit. "Where am I?" She asked out loud.

Suddenly a picture appeared in front of her momentarily blinding her with its light. Refusing to look away though Kagome waited for her eye's to adapt. What she saw when they did made her gasp. Muso was on the screen cowering on his hands and knees and for some reason she was looking down at him. Almost like she was watching from above.

"Holy shit" he screamed.

Before she could even wonder what was going on another voice spoke. "You hurt my mistress," The voice boomed through the darkness, echoing all around her before eventually fading away.

"And for that you shall pay," Hate dripped off each word like poison but Kagome still had no idea who the voice belonged to. Continuing to watch the picture she was shocked as it changed. Kagome watched as glowing hands came close together and to her shock and red sphere formed between them. Another shock came when she realised that those hands were her own.

She watched as her body was manipulated before her, and the orb grew bigger and bigger. She knew it was her own hands creating it yet she could do nothing to control it, it was like she had been locked within her own mind as something feral took over her body. Leaving her helpless as she watched.

'But whose controlling my body?' she asked herself.

Flashback

"You hurt my mistress, and for that you shall pay!"

"Shito," she whispered. It was obvious, nobody else had the ability to take over her body and it explained the low growl in the voice as well. "But how? He was taken from me I saw it…"

"NO!"

Kagomes thoughts were disrupted by Muso's blood curdling scream. Looking out once more she was shocked to see that the orb had now grown to the size of a volleyball, and now hovered silently in her outstretched palms. It was obvious that Shito was going to launch it at Muso.

"NO!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs. "No Shito, please stop," this isn't what she wanted; she would never kill somebody no matter what they had done to her. Nothing was worth the knowledge that somebody's life ended by your hand.

But either Shito couldn't hear her or he wasn't listening because Kagome watched as she drew her arm back and got ready to fire.

"NO!" Kagomes heart wrenching scream echoed through the inky black abbess. Tears ran down her cheeks, as she tried in vain to do something.

A bright flash of red light surged through out the decrypt temple. It was blinding, and forced Kagome to shield her eyes with her arms.

When she uncovered her eye's Kagome noticed that she was able to feel solid ground beneath her once again. And was once more standing on her own two feet. Looking around she saw she found Muso sprawled out on the floor. The rise and fall of his chest said that he was still alive, even if just barley. Only a foot beside him a huge crater was still smoking.

She tried to take a step towards him, just to make sure he would be ok. But as soon as she lifted her leg the movement proved to be too much too soon and a wave of dizziness hit Kagome forcing her to fall down to her knees. Teetering dangerously from side to side black spots danced in her vision. Before she even had a chance to stop it Kagome once again succumbed to the dark recess of her mind.

Somewhere in the corner of the temple, the discarded statue of a fierce dog shattered crumbling to dust.

With Kikyo

A bright flash of light caught the corner of Kikyo's eye. Making her turn around and stare at the rickety temple, her stomach clenched tightly. Something was not right, panic started to edge its way into the bottom of her stomach and she ran back to the temple.

What awaited her there was a nightmare that became reality.

With Sesshomaru

Sesshomaru ran to the temple his legs pumping him forward in great strides. Yet no matter how fast he ran he couldn't escape the feeling that it was to late. And when, at last, he burst through the temple doors it was indeed too late.

The temple air was still heavy from the power that Kagome had released. It made his head pound with each breath of the purified air her took in. The first thing that caught his eye was Muso's unconscious body where it lay twisted on the temple floor. The hole still smoking from the blast released by Kagome/ Shito. The whole temple was in shambles, and seemed to only be standing due to what must have been the will of the temple it's self. Cushions lay strew across the floor some of them half burned, and the rest just piles of ash.

"Hello Sesshomaru, long time no see," The voice snapped his attention to the front of the room where Kikyo's voice had come from.

She stood in front of the statue of Buddha. Now the only thing in the room that had some how, been able to remain unscathed. Her hair was all astray with random strands falling over her face and shoulders, her eyes were wide and she bore a smile of pure naïve joy. She looked insane, but it wasn't what she looked like that caught Sesshomaru's attention it was what she held in her arms. For there slumped and unconscious was Kagome. Her shirt was missing and skirt was filthy and wrinkled, both shoes and one sock were also missing and the sock she did have that was once a pristine white was now a dirty grey. Her hair fell over her shoulders and onto Kikyo's hand which was covering both her breasts. She was an unhealthy pale colour and if it wasn't for the slight but steady rise and fall of her chest she could have easily been mistaken for dead.

"Kagome," He whispered underneath his breath. It was hard to look at her in this state. He could tell from her scent that she was close to death; the urge to run to her was immense but fear for her safety kept him back. Kikyo had the look of a deranged psychopath, and common sense told him to stay away until he found out just how unstable she really was.

"You love her don't you Sesshomaru?" Kikyo's voice was quivering with laughter as she spoke.

"Let her go," he spat out each word in attempt to stop the fear for Kagome from entering his voice; in the end he wasn't sure if he succeeded.

"How ironic that you a filthy demon, should fall in love with so pure a priestess," As she spoke she pulled a dagger from behind her back and held it to Kagome's throat.

"You bitch," Panic was now rising within his chest, as he feared for Kagome's life.

"I loved you Sesshomaru, I tried to help you, to save you from her freakish intentions. But I couldn't and now, you've fallen in love with this...this disgusting thing," Kikyo was in hysterics now; her voice and body were shaking violently as she spoke. "I won't lose to this, this thing. If I can't have you then SHE won't either!" with those words Kikyo turned the blade and plunged it through Kagome's vulnerable chest.

"NOO!" Screamed Sesshomaru as he ran towards Kagome.

Seeing his approach Kikyo dropped Kagome and ran towards the barley conscious Muso. Grabbing him by the arm she wrapped it around her shoulder and half dragged and half carried him out of the temple.

Ignoring them Sesshomaru fell to his knees at Kagome's side, hoping that maybe just maybe the wound would not be mortal. But from the blood that was draining from her wound and the edges of her mouth it was clear that not only was it mortal but it had pierced her heart.

In one swift movement he pulled the dagger from her chest; he tried desperately to find some sign of life. Anything to give him the tiniest shred of hope that she was alive, but found only rapidly cooling hands and a pale face.

The realization that she was gone hit like an arrow through his heart. Something inside him shattered into thousands if not millions of tiny pieces which dug deep causing even more pain. And for the first time in his life the mighty demon Sesshomaru cried, for so quickly had he found a reason to smile, a reason to wake up each day, a reason to fight, a reason to live. Yet now all that he had was a reason to cry as the pain at losing the one thing in this world that he had ever loved was ripped away from him.

Grabbing her lifeless body Sesshomaru embraced her one last time. The pain he felt at that moment was so intense it felt like his whole soul was being ripped from within the body. The thought of living his life without the very person who made it worth being alive for seemed a life of torment and suffering. The tears ran down in a steady stream, yet if anyone were to see them they would have been unable to believe the sight. For the colour of his tears were changing, at first to a pale pink but soon became a deep red. Soon the tears were no longer tears, they had become blood, blood from his broken heart and soul.

They say when you love somebody, truly deeply, love them you can face all adversities. When they die your heart not only breaks but because of such unbearable pain it causes your very soul to shatter and bleed. Such love is never heard of in such times, when love means little more then filling the lust your body desires. A demon and a priestess should never be together, it is not right; it is against all the laws that govern the very beings of nature. Yet here was proof that love can conquer all adversities, for a demon to truly fall in love was deemed improbable, but for the demon to fall in love with a miko, that was just unthinkable. Who would have thought that so pure a human could fall in love with so impure a being? Creating a love that made even the gods look down on them in disbelief.

The gods watched from above, and angels shed silent tears as Sesshomaru suffered, as slowly he to succumbed to the mortality of his being. As he bled to death nobody would have imagined that a love so beautiful would end in such tragedy. Until finally with Kagome's name on his lips the mighty Sesshomaru died, tears of blood still flowing down his cheeks as his soul continued to bleed.

Somewhere in the world a rose wilted and died.
