I just sat and stared at the jewel. This was it. This is what we had traveled so long for, and fought so hard for…. here, resting in my palm. I didn't know what to do... because I was the only one there.

I was alone, and I wanted Inuyasha.

I wanted him to hold me, to pick me up, to watch his face when I presented him with the dully completed Shikon No Tama. But...he'd never be here again...

Ever again...

"Oh my love, why did you have to leave me?" I cried doubling over with my tears streaming, expelling the never-ending sobs of pain and remorse from my chest, sending tham echoing throughout the valley. He had been mad at me when he died, he had been mad. It was my entire fault, his desth, and it was all for this…. The Shikon No Tama.

6 Hours Later!

I sat up and looked around, puzzled at the darkness. It had just been day an few minutes ago. The moon was gone, 'Tonight is Inuyasha's night to be a human' I thought worried about his safety... then, like a hidden fire fed ligherter fluid…I remembered... 'was his night to be human.'

Bending to cry, I realised there was a faint glow illuminating the area where I sat. Staring, I realized that the glow was coming from my closed hand. Opening it,I found, inside was The Shikon No Tama, I had forgotten about it. It was giving a bright glow, and even I could feel it radiating power. I was so focused on the jewel I didn't hear footsteps behind me. Then the jewel was plucked from my hand.

"What?" I exclaimed looking around. Only one figure was around me. Inuyasha's body was gone, and the ashes that once were Kikyo were gone too. Only one person was there with me, it was Sesshomaru.

"This will give me unmatched power…...thank you, human." Sesshomaru said, rolling the Shikon between his hands.

"Like hell !!! You will give that back Sesshomaru." I spat standing up."Now!"

"You can't make such presumptuous statements human. You'll find that you are always disappointed in the end."

"Give it back!!!" I said warningly, and I outstretched my lightly blue colored hand.

"Never," he spat, but the jewel was glowing brightly, and it flew out of Sesshomaru's hand, and it floated mid air, just between us. Then it seamed to project an image. Another battle, the one between the dragon and Midoriko, but for a second the battle was postponed as each side of the battle tried to draw the jewel, to the light of good or the pinical evil... (a.k.a. good- Kagome, evil- Sesshomaru).

The jewel first went one way then the other, then began switching back and forth. Then I began to glow a light blue as my priestess powers began to emerge. In the end that's what drew the jewel to me.

The decision made, the jewel drifted over to me and I accepted it with both hands. Then my glow changed, from blue to a light pink as the jewel entered my body, just above my heart, and I looked at it, following it with my eyes until it was embedded in my skin. Then I felt so tired, so sleepy. I looked up as she collapsed, Sesshomaru was watching me intently, only when I saw the look on his face did I realize I was falling forward in time, till sunset. A blood-red sunset...

So that was how it happened…. The first part of the story anyway. I was shaking as we flew, yes we. I'm a slave at this point….remember? Sesshomaru's slave.

Do you want to know the next part? Well then hold on a shock is going to come…..
