(A/N) He-he-he… I'm back… This final chap is from none other than my POV. As death, I am all-knowing, so you will see some of Kagome's and InuYasha's thoughts as well as mine. I do hope you enjoy it!

I am all-knowing, but I am not all-owning. I do not own InuYasha.

Kagome managed to wriggle free of her bonds. Her heart broke as she saw InuYasha, her love, lying on the ground. She crawled to him, scared, fearing the worst: his Youkai rage had taken the life from him. She laid one hand tentatively on his shoulder.

The half-demon stirred at her touch, and her heart soared. He was alive, at least. She rolled him onto his back and gently pulled him into her lap, singing softly and melodically to him. I watched from a nearby tree, and ruffled my black feathers, still unsure if the hanyou's soul would be mine today.

As InuYasha stirred to wakefulness, he was aware of the gentle caress on his hair and face, the harmonious voice lulling him.

"InuYasha," he heard Kagome murmur his name. "InuYasha,"

He could smell blood all around him, on him. Did I do it again? He wondered.

I croaked out a laugh at his notion, flapping my onyx-black wings. Had he done it again, indeed! Had he slaughtered without a second thought? Had he terrified the woman he loved? Had he done it again?? He-he…

Kagome's tears plopped onto his face, and she felt her very soul shudder. "InuYasha," she begged. "Please wake up."

InuYasha forced his eyes open; he wanted to assure her he was all right. But when he tried his voice, he found only silence. Pain, such a fiery pain he had never felt before tore through him, a combination of spiritual and physical agony. He reached up to Kagome, she cringed back, unsure if he would hurt her or not. InuYasha felt his heart constrict. He had done it again.

He held his hand in front of his face, seeing the blood and flesh clinging to his claws. Oh, he had delivered so many to me that day!! Horror took him as the truth dawned on him. Fate was a cruel master. He had once wanted his power, and, now that he had it, he couldn't control it. His inner demon overtook him and did horrible things without his consent. He glanced up at Kagome, whose heart was slowly breaking, watching her love in such agony.

"I did it again, didn't I?" he asked softly.

"Yes," she murmured, unable to lie to him, or even lessen it. "Yes, you did."

InuYasha winced back at the truth. Gods, he thought, is this my destiny, to just kill over and over again?

Yes! I thought triumphantly. Deliver more unto me! Dirty souls or innocent souls, it matters not to me!

As I watched the two broken-hearted lovers, kneeling on the blood-soaked earth, I realized that the hanyou was not to join me that day. But I was glad about that. For the longer he lived, the longer he would do my job for me. In his Youkai form, he would become the reaper of souls, the bringer of death. I laughed in the crow's voice, and with a beat of my ethereal wings, flew away from the battlefield, and the demon whose soul would become more and more blackened by the blood of the innocent.
