There she stood in the doorway

I heard the mission bell

I was thinking to myself this could be Heaven or this could be Hell

Then she light up a candle

And she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor thought I heard them say

Inuyasha squinted his eyes as a small light appeared in front of him. Desperate for water he ran, he knew he shouldn't have had the strength to do so, it was in the back of his mind, that if not dead, he should be on the ground. Inuyasha pushed that thought away, he didn't particularly care about logic right now, only ending his thirst.

Only ending…

Only ending what? He didn't know. Loneliness? Where there even people out here? It didn't matter. Only water mattered. Only living mattered. But… was there even such a thing as life? If so, what was it's opposite? He didn't know or care.

Inuyasha finally reached the light he had followed; the light was an oil lantern. A woman was holding it in her left hand. The woman was wearing a red haroi and black hakama set. Her long black hair was tied in a neat braid going down the middle of her back. Her expression looked sad and hateful at the same time. As if she had been hurt deeply.

Kikyo

As quickly as the word came it left, Inuyasha didn't know why, but he felt he knew this woman. She motioned with her hand for him to follow.

"What is your name?" Inuyasha asked.

"Kikyo," She answered. "And yours?"

"Inuyasha, Kikyo," She turned to face him.

"Yes?"

"How did you get here."

"I, do not know, only, that I ended up here." Kikyo answered. Then neither of them talked. Both walking on to a destination Inuyasha did not know.

As Inuyasha kept walking he noticed a building coming into view. It was three stories high and a few good feet wide. It looked like a Japanese mansion. The walls were painted a bright red and the windows looked like diamonds even in such think darkness. The doors were large and had the carving of giant dragons on them while the bronze hinges shined as if made from sunlit gold.

"Kikyo, where are we?"

Kikyo smiled softly, "Your new home, Inuyasha." From the look in her eyes Inuyasha wondered if he had done something wrong.

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.

"Come, Naraku is waiting for you." Kikyo said, not answering his question.

Inuyasha nodded, getting a little frightened. He didn't understand, what had he done? Why was he here? A dozen questions filled his head but he continued to follow Kikyo. Whoever Naraku was, he would get answers from him. Kikyo walked into a long, dark corridor. Inuyasha didn't know if it was the only one or one of many on the first floor.

"Watch your step."

Inuyasha jumped at the sound of Kikyo's voice. It was only then he realized they were about walk up a stairway, Inuyasha nodded but Kikyo didn't turn around. She just continued walking, as if her only purpose was to guild him to Naraku, as if she was nothing more then a doll.
