Summary Kikyou a woman on mission
She walked away with an air of exhilaration. Finally, she had a purpose a direction. The path to Nirvana had opened up to her. All she had to do was purify Naraku.
She had allowed herself to be captured so that she could meet Naraku and understand him. Now she understood what Naraku was and what she had to do destroy him Her borrowed body and her new life had given her a freedom she had never had before. A freedom from love and hate.
Her old life had been tangled up in her love and hate of Inuyasha. All that was behind her now. Inuyasha was behind her now. She could not protect him from what was to come. He would have to save himself
Her life was the job. Naraku was the job. She did not hate him, but she did have to purify him before she could find peace. Only when he had entire Jewel in his possession could she do so.
She would whatever was required to complete the job. Whether that meant stealing the Jewel and giving it to Naraku or killing Kagome so that she would stop interfering with the job.
Now that her task was clear nothing could stand in her way. Not Inuyasha or Kagome or any other of their little friends. If they knew what was good for them they would get out of her way and let her do her job. If not, they would have to be eliminated.
