Silver Ghost

Chapter 2

Inuyasha leaned on the side of the well staring in. Kagome had disappeared a while ago, but he couldn't get her image out of his head, nor did he want to. He kept imagining her whispering that she loved him and jumping in the well without taking her eyes off of him. He heart ached. He missed her already. He had an overwhelming urge to jump in after her. After whispering one last goodbye he turned and walked back toward the village. When he came to the Sacred Tree he stopped. He walked up to the tree and put his hand to the small hole where the arrow had been that went through his heart and pinned him to the tree for fifty years.

"Inuyasha" whispered a cold voice.

Inuyasha's blood ran cold. He cursed himself for not noticing her smell. He was in his own world thinking about Kagome. He turned to face Kikyo, and was met with a cold stare and the sharp tip of an arrow.

"Inuyasha, you've fallen in love with that girl, my reincarnation." Kikyo stated coldly.

Inuyasha didn't say anything. He knew there was nothing he could do or say to calm her.

"Inuyasha, I told you, you're life is mine. You're life and death are both mine!

Kikyo released the bowstring as she screamed her last word. As he felt the arrow pierce his heart for the second time, he finally understood. He barely registered Miroku and Sango's scents as one last thought entered his mind.

Kikyo was enveloped in a bright blue light as her stolen souls erupted from her body. She screamed as her body glowed white. Her screams were cut off as her body exploded and the dusty remains from her clay body returned to earth from where it came. The force of the explosion knocked Miroku and Sango to the ground. As they started to get to their feet a pink glow surrounded the clearing. The source of the glow was obvious; Inuyasha's body was enveloped in the pink glow. His eyes were closed and his head was bent slightly. At first glance it looked like he was sleeping. Sango remembered Kagome telling her about the day she met Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked now just like Kagome had described. Sango gasped as the arrow that Kikyo shot through Inuyasha's heart started glowing red. Inuyasha's body began to fade as the arrow grew brighter. Sango hurled herself toward Inuyasha, stretching out her arm to him. Pain spread through her arm as her hand collided with the side of the tree. She recoiled in surprise; her arm went through Inuyasha's body. They watched frozen as Inuyasha's body disappeared from sight. Only the arrow remained slowly returning to its original color. Miroku and Sango stood in shock staring at the arrow.
