Summary: Kikyou ponders her death.

She was a fallen woman

Fallen. She had fallen into pool of her own blood. Cut by deadly claws which sliced her open

from her shoulder to her chest.

Fallen. She betrayed her calling. This was the just punishment of the kami for betraying their trust in her as a servant of their servant.

Fallen. She had fallen in love. Tsubaki would laugh at her if she could see her now. She had told her that this would happen to her if she fell in love with a man.

Fallen. She had failed in her duty to protect the Jewel.. Instead, she had endeavored to use the Jewel so that she and her beloved could become human and live together as husband and wife.

Fallen. Into the depths of despair as the hanyou taunted her. He had never loved her. He had never wanted to become human. He had never wanted to live together as husband and wife. He was merely using her to obtain the Jewel so that he could become a youkai.

Fallen. She would fall into the pits of hell reserved for those who break their promises to kami when she died.

Somehow she steeled herself to rise again. She would reclaim the Jewel and kill the hanyou. Only then could she die and take the Jewel with her to hell so that it could never make another fall again.

If only she had never fallen for Inuyasha.
