Bring Me To Life

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

Inuyasha stood in the remains of the last battle, Naraku dead but many others parished as well, Kohaku lay slain not to feet away from him and directly at his feet was Kikyou, she had died again.

He knelt down beside her, hugging her cold body to his chest hoping her spirit could now rest in peace. He remembered a time when he could look into Kikyou's eyes and she would answer any question. That time has long since passed, and her soul had held hatred, maybe now she would be at peace.

Everyone was giving him space. While not really, like there was a need for it. Sango was crouched over Kohaku's body, silent tears tracking lines through the blood on her face. Miroku was trying to comfort her and Kagome was helping Kagura and Kanna who were injured but meant no harm. Shippo, the furball was with Kagome.

Inuyasha gently kissed Kikyou on the lips. He swore he heard his name being called. When he looked up he saw, no one.

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

Inuyasha! A voice in his head called. He recognized the voice. "Kikyou?" he whispeerd softly.

Inuyahsa! You can save me! She told his thoughts.

"How?" he asked.

Kiss me. On the lips. Kikyou replied.

"Will it hurt anyone else?" Inuyasha asked.

Silence was a response. "Kikyou, please tell me." Inuyasha pleaded.

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

Inuyasha, please, I'll be alone in the after world if you don't! Please! Don't you love me?

"I do, Kikyou, but if Kagome's in danger, from this" Inuyasha spoke to the lifeless body in his arms.

She is nothing but my reincarnation, a copy of me a fake. Kikyou's spirit argued.

"She is not!" Inuyasha yelled softly(it's possible).

You sound like you're in love with her. Kikyou announced.

"I..." Inuyasha stopped. The truth? He loved both Kikyou and kagome dearly, but he knew Kikyou had to let go, and pass on.

Of course! You think of me as nothing! As bits of clay and dirt, pasted together! And you care not for my spirit ay longer1 what happened to the Inuyasha that I loved? Kikyou spat angrily.

"He changed, Kikyou." Inuyasha replied, "Please listen to me, your soul has been avenged! I love you and I'll never stop loving you. Really, bt your time has passed, I wish you would move on!"

so you do want me/ dead! Kikyou's voice exclaimed.

(I've been living a lie there's nothing inside)

Bring me too life.

Kiss me please! Kikyou pleaded.

Frozen inside without your touch

Without your love darling

Only you are the life among the dead

Inuyasha's POV

I'm frantic, Kikyou's pleading me. To tell you the truth, I still love her dearly. She makes me feel warm inside, but then again so does kagome. I want the real Kikyou though, I want her before she was walking clay and bone, with only a spell to hold her up.

She's basically the same as me now. Neither living nor dead and yet, she wishes to be living, while surviving from others who have died. How can she do it. I bend my head into kiss her. I can make her breathe again.

(All this time i can't believe i couldn't see

Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me)

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems

Got to open my eyes to everything

(without a thought without a voice without a soul

don't let me die here

there must be something more)

bring me to life

"Kikyou, I love you, I don't want you to be alone after all, but I don't want to hurt Kagome by bringing you back. So I have to join you." Inuyasha paused.

Kikyou was nothing. But Inuyasha loved her enough to be nothing as well. Walking over to Kagome first. He pulled her into a fierce hug. "I must do this," he said. Looking her in the eye he said, "Remember, I love you, the choice was hard, but I have chosen. Please forgive me for not being able to stay with you." h ekissed her gently on the lips and walked away.

Heading back to Kikyou's body he knelt beside it. Throwing Tetsusaiga awayfrom him so it wouldn't protect him, he grabbed a dagger from one of naraku's noew dead servant. Plunging the knife into his chest, he cried out in pain.

The last thing he heard from the mortal world was Kagome voice screaming "INUYASHA!"

The first thing he heard in the after life was Kikyou's voice calling "Inuyasha!"

"That happened many many years ago," Kagome finished telling her nieces and nephews. Souta's kids, teenagers now this was one of their favorite stories.

"But, Inuyasha wonders if he had made the right choice right? By coosing the dead miko of the live time traveler?" Kiri asked.

"I hope so," Kagome replied sighing.

Watching was her guardian angel, Inuyasha, "your right he does wonder," he said gently tugging a strand of Kagome's hair.
