"NO! INU YASHA! DON'T LEAVE ME!" I screamed as I ran towards Inuyashas dead body, crying my eyes out. He couldn't be, he just couldn't...

As I ran pell-mell across the now bloody clearing I slipped on a rock and fell face-forward, my outstretched hand just touching someone's shoe. But, I remember that Inuyasha fell face forward, it couldn't be him. Tears streaming from my eyes, I looked up, and who was it but Kikyo.

"You will be made to pay for this, re-incarnation." Kikyo spat, a bow and arrow suddenly appearing in her hands, drawn and aimed at me.

"I could say the same, you…… you…… stupid clay doll!" I shrilly returned, slowly standing up, and drawing an arrow myself.

It was a showdown of sorts; Kikyo's Energy-arrow against my own...all we needed now was a mysterious and creepy wind...

Then there it was! A strong wind at my back, Kikyo looked up and behind me, ever inquisitive.

"Why are you here?" Kikyo asked, seemingly agitated, "What possible business could you have here?"

I knew who it was. I don't now how, but I knew. As I turned around I spoke "Sesshomaru, Inuyasha was killed."

"Why do you think I would care about him, a useless half-brother, and a hanyou? I came here to make sure Naraku was dead. That I was left most powerful in the Western Lands, as it should have been in the first place."

"You SHOULD care!" I screamed into his face, praying that Kikyo not fire, "How can you be so heartless, so empty, so devoid of emotions! Every time I see you act like a rock, a useless hunk of….. of…... of…. uselessness!"

"You are in pain, you are tired, and you yearn to morn; why then do you wish to carry on fighting?" Asked Sesshomaru.

"You insult me!" I angrily whispered, wiping the tears from my face and chin, how could he read me so easily? "Why don't you just leave?" I screamed, as I turned to face Kikyo once more. I was prepared to die, if the situation came to it. I was going to finish this.

"Who killed Naraku?" Asked Sesshomaru, addressing Kikyo.

"She did." Kikyo said drawing the arrow back pre-paring to shoot. "She killed my love."

"She killed Inuyasha?" asked Sesshomaru

"No, she killed Naraku!" Screamed Kikyo, letting her arrow fly.

I tried to dodge it, but it few faster than any normal arrow, and mine too. As it pierced my shoulder, I cried out in pain.

"But I remember when you would have done that yourself." Sesshomaru said in a board voice. "Back when Naraku tricked and deceived you both. He made you think the other had betrayed the love you once had. Naraku killed you, and now you clam to be his lover? What happened to the 'mighty' Kikyo? The Kikyo that once loved my hanyou half-brother, the keeper of that infernal 'Jewel of Four Souls'. " Sesshomaru walked casually around as he spoke, as if he were surveying the damage to the poor land.

I turned my attention from him as I heard a small whimper from Kikyo, her face registered surprise and pain. "You are right. What have I done? What Have I become?" She looked around, as if awaking from a dream, a dark dark dream. "I no longer belong in this world. My presence here is only a farce, I no longer belong." Kikyo looked up. "Kagome, get your shards out, and we will complete The Jewel, at last. We will call the last of the shards to the nearly completed Jewel, and then I will descend."

As I looked up from the ground, she held over half of The Jewel of Four Souls in her right hand. Then she bent and offered me her left hand , and with her help I stood. Then I walked over to Inuyashas dead body and turned him over, sobbing crying dryly. I undid his top, and there, hanging next to a locket of us (movie two) was the rest of the Shikon No Tama. I walked over to Kikyo, our shards in my left hand.

"Give me your hand," she said, "That we might pray over, and bind the Shikon No Tama together once again."

As we joined our hands together I was aware of the world. I felt the moonbeams settle over the forest, and I moved with the rippling water. I felt nothing of my own pain, bodily or mentally. Kikyo and I had joined our souls to the Shikon No Tama. Then I felt the knowledge leave me, and I opened my eyes. The Shikon No Tama lay in my hand completely whole, and Kikyo was gone.
