"You're beautiful." He told me. He softly stroked my hair as we reminisced about last night. Us becoming one made us both appreciate each other more.

"You tell me that everyday." I complained, even though I loved it. He laughed, "It's because you are. You're a flower, Kikyo." I smiled. Inuyasha was always so kind to me. He also made every lovemaking feel like the first time. He always told me I was beautiful.

"Kikyo…" Naraku's dark voice called to me. I stopped brushing my hair and looked over to my master. "I need the shards, Kikyo. You must take them from Inuyasha." I heard, but didn't listen. My subconscious made me pick up my bow and follow his directions.

I left his castle and headed straight before me. I could smell the dog-demon's stench. I headed in that direction, slowly but surely getting closer. It wasn't until they were three feet away that I slowed down to a complete halt. I quietly looked over a hill to see them sitting around a campfire. They were laughing and eating. Inuyasha was among them. I felt a pang in my artificial heart.

"That stupid girl!" I said under my breath. The flames cast a glow on her, making her face seem…beautiful. "I bet he strokes her hair!" I snarled. " I bet he risks his life to save that bitch!" I felt anger fill my very veins. Before I knew it, I skipped the sneaky act and jumped down to face the gang. They all went on the defensive as I pulled out a bow.

"Inuyasha…" I said, ignoring the others. He stared at me with soft eyes. "Tell me…" I said as I readied an arrow, "Tell me, is she pretty?" His child-like expression turned to confusion. "Do you tell her she's beautiful?" I cried. He took a quick glance at Kagome. He knew whom I meant.

It was silent as I aimed my arrow at his heart. Everyone seemed to stunned to move. "I…I never said, she was pretty." Inuyasha finally replied. Kagome's eyes filled with tears. I loved it. "She's ugly! Tell me that!" Inuyasha cast his eyes down at my request. "She's ugly…" he said softly. Kagome had tears sliding down her cheek, but it didn't make me happy like before. She still looked so…cute. So…fresh. I hated it.

"How dare you mock me!" I screamed and aimed my arrow at Kagome's neck. Without hesitation, I fired. "Kagome!" Sango screamed. She tried to deflect it with her weapon, but it was obliterated by my arrows aura. Thinking quickly, she jumped in front of the arrows path. It went through her head.

"SANGO!" the stupid girl cried. She ran over to her friend's corpse. "Look at that!" I snarled, "You have murdered one of your comrades just by existing!"

Miroku retaliated, "That's not true! It was because Sango cared!"

I looked at him with evil in my eyes. "You have to exist before others care for you." I said bluntly.

That got him angry. He quickly moved to open his wind tunnel. I made no attempt to move.

"If you open that dark hole," I started, getting another arrow, "my arrow will reach your heart first." "I'll take the risk!" Miroku spat as his tunnel was let free. Everything in its path was slowly being sucked forward. I ignored it and shot my arrow with excellent accuracy. It wasn't bothered by the strong wind. It flew straight and through his heart.

"MIROKU!" Kagome screamed as she held his fallen body. That's all she's good for, screaming! Her friend just gave her life for her and all she could do was scream! "You wench!" I spat, "I'll make sure this one cuts through your throat!" I aimed to do just that, when suddenly the Kitsune tried to fight me. "You won't harm Kagome! Me and Kirara won't let you!"

Immediately, he tried to transform into something, but I didn't give him the chance. I easily lifted him up and slit his throat with my sharpest arrow. It happened so quickly, I almost forgot he existed. The cat demon took resentment to that.

From that small kitten, she transformed into a huge creature with flames about it. Unintimidated, I pulled out another arrow. "RAORRRR!" she cried as she aimed to kill me. My arrow was already on its way.

"Oh no! Not Kirara!" Kagome cried. I hated the fact that she didn't even try to save them. What a selfish wench! Suddenly, I remembered the reason I came down here. "The jewel shards. Hand them over." I demanded. Kagome looked up at me, "NO! I'll never give them to someone like you!" I sneered, "But that means you have them…" I lifted her by the throat. Just then I remembered Inuyasha. I turned to see he hadn't moved an inch.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, dangling about a foot in the air. She looked helplessly at the dog demon. Inuyasha made no movements. "Inuyasha?" She pleaded as I closed my hand around her throat. "Inuy-!" Her final word was silenced as I crushed her neck. She fell limply to the floor. I searched her clothing and found the jewel shard around her bleeding neck.

I turned back to Inuyasha. "Have you nothing to say?" I said, holding the sacred jewel. The corpses of his comrades littered the floor, and he just stood there. He looked up at me slowly. "You're beautiful," he said softly. I pulled out and arrow and aimed at his heart.

"I know."

"Kikyo…did you get the shards?" Naraku asked of me. I handed him the bloody container. "Excellent." He said in triumph. I took my spot at the vanity table and resumed brushing my hair. "You know, Kikyo," Naraku cooed, "You really are beautiful." I felt a fugitive tear roll down my cheek.

"You're beautiful." He told me
