Summary Kikyou sweeps her doubts and omens under the rug
Kikyou awoke in a cold sweat. The sun was already up. She was late. Last night she was supposed to stay awake all night keeping the Jewel pure, lest it fall into evil hands. Instead, she had fallen asleep
While she slept dark visions clouded her dreams. Inuyasha killing her and stealing the Jewel. Inuyasha sealed to Goshinboku by her arrow. Choosing to follow Inuyasha in death. The endless swirling down into the flames.
The worst were his words. Denying that he wanted to become human for her. Denying that she could ever become human for him. Denying that he wanted her to be his wife and live together. All his promises, words of love and kisses had been lies.
She refused to believe it. She needed to believe that today was her wedding day. Today was the beginning of her happily ever after. Today was the day when all her dreams of being an ordinary woman came true.
Today was the day that she became free of the Jewel. Free of the guardianship of the Jewel which prevented her from being human Became free to love Inuyasha as a woman. Free to be his wife and bear his children. It was her dream come true
She hurried toward meeting place, brushing aside the omens of the night. They were shadows that daylight would chase away. She was more than ready. It was too late to turn her back on Inuyasha her one chance for happiness.
