Summary: Inuyasha reflects on Kikyou
When he looked at her now, she had stars in her eyes. He remembered a time when she gave him that look of utter loneliness. That was the day he first felt that he had done something wrong. That was the day she stole his heart.
His goal since had been to erase that look. To right every wrong in her life. To make her smile.
To be her knight in shining armor. .If she needed someone to fight her battles he was there. To that end he had begun to follow her around like a puppy.
He was always there watching over her whether she was gathering herbs or playing games with the children. Only at night did he leave her alone. The villagers must not know of them yet lest they turn on her as they had his mother
One moment of intimacy had changed everything. The look of want she gave him when he held left no doubt in his mind. When she fell into his arms, he knew that he loved her and never wanted to let her go. He had eagerly confessed his love and offered to become human so that they could marry.
He would do anything to make her happy. If being human would make her happy he would be human. If living together as husband and wife would make her happy then they would be married. If it was her wish to stop the fighting he was in favor of it.
She was the beginning and the end. If she was happy, he was happy. That look of utter loneliness may have stolen his heart, but he never wanted to see it again. He would make sure that she was never lonely again and the stars would always shine in her eyes.
