Summary: Kikyou's love for Inuyasha changes her plans.
She had prepared so hard for this moment. Now her strength was restored. The soul of the young girls would give her the strength to kill Inuyasha. She knew Inuyasha would come. Her barrier was an open invitation to him. She would allow him in only when she was ready to finish him. The table was set. Her feeble incarnation was under wraps where she would not interfere. There would be no mistakes this time. Only by killing Inuyasha could she release her hate and find peace in the afterlife.
Her resolve was short-lived. All it took was Inuyasha saying " I haven't stopped thinking about you for a single day" and " I don't care what you look like-I could never find you disgusting."
All of her defenses melted like snow at sakura-time. The hate she had felt towards Inuyasha was washed away. In its place was the love and desire that had always been hidden under the surface.
She could not help herself. All of the things that had been forbidden to her were suddenly allowed to her. She was free to love Inuyasha the way that she had always wanted to before she died. No longer was she restricted as a miko. She could love him as a woman.
Instead of killing him as she could have when she touched him, she closed her eyes and kissed him and embraced him. Kagome and Inuyasha were shocked. But for Kikyou it was what she always wanted to do with Inuyasha when she alive.
She could not feel the touch of his lips or the warmth of his embrace. But she was where she had wanted to be before she died in the arms of her lover. No longer did she wish for peace. She could never let Inuyasha go. As Inuyasha held her as and asked she wanted him to do, she knew.
She would take him to hell.. Not even the flames of hellfire would extinguish their love. Surely, Inuyasha wanted to die with her as much as she did. They could hold each other forever. In hell they would never be parted again.
