CH 4:: The Sorrow of Kikyo
A/N :: I had to re-watch all the Inuyasha episodes 1-107 (( episode 107 - Inuyasha is crying! )) just to get an idea of what was really going on in the show. I must of read dozens of Inuyasha fanfics and let me tell you, it’s all mixed up in my head. I refuse to read anymore-new ones until I finish this to my satisfaction. Or at least I’ll try! .^_^.
:: Singing happily as I write this chapter :: “Sesshoumaru, Sesshoumaru. Ai shiteru, Sesshoumaru!!” :: Now I remember why I want him SO bad. He is SO way cuter then Inuyasha. Kouga comes close and even Hiten is pretty hot.
Well anyways, I wanted to try getting a good idea on what to write by watching these, but a real jewel of an idea came to me at work instead, believe it or not?!?! So I hope you like it.

Chapter 4: The sorrow of Kikyou
On the same night that Inuyasha and Kagome finally came together, the previous guardian of the Shikon Jewel was currently residing in a small hut. It had been given in return for her services as a healer by the elder of a village far to the north of Inuyasha's small group. Late that night, a mother brought her daughter to the priestess. She sat serenely tending to the cuts on the small child; softly applying the healing salve on the wounds, then dressing each cut in bandages. Any observer would think her a normal priestess and would be warmed by the gentle smile that graced her normally expressionless features. She was listening to the chatter of the child as she worked and laughing softly at the barrage of comments the girl spouted quickly from her mouth.
"How did you become a priestess? I want to be just like you when I grow up! You’re so pretty! Ouch, Ouch! That hurt. Do you have a brother? I do. I hate him. Can I have powers like you? Will you teach me shoot a bow? Can I..."
"I would like to know how you got these cuts, child." Kikyou cut in laughingly.
"Oh...Well I was playing and I fell." the village child simply said.
"Is that all?" Kikyou said smiling.
"Yes, Kikyou-sama. I was playing in the woods and slipped of a rock I was jumping on. When I woke up it was really dark. I was scared."
"Well then, you really must be more careful, child. You should not go into the woods alone. Make sure to take a friend with you." Gently Kikyou tapped her finger on the girls nose, eliciting a giggle from the girl as her mother looked on amused, "And I don't think I'll be staying in your village long enough for me to teach you to be a priestess when you grow up. But, when you’re older, the men can teach you to use a bow." Kikyou could not remember the last time she had laughed or had such a moment of quiet joy as this girl was bringing her. It made her remember her wish to have a child. 'It must have been years ago.' She had stayed awake dreaming of a child often when she was alive, longing to give Inuyasha his first born even knowing as she dreamed them that it would never come true.
She was taken out of her thoughts when the little girl asked if she could leave. Before Kikyo could answer, the world around her abruptly spun out of control and the view around her disappeared, shifting to bring into focus an image that was not her own. ‘I’m having a Vision.’ she thought in surprise, as she almost never had them. But it was more of a dream to her. A memory she hadn’t indulged in for over 50 years.

Inuyasha lie above her, kissing her. His touch was making her skin burn, his hands sliding over her warm body tracing the contours of her upper chest with reverence. His mouth followed to leisurely suckle the nipples into tight buds. Gasping his name in longing, she arched up into his mouth and he pulled away, smirking at her. He bent down to nip at her bottom lip, licking it gently and then sliding his tongue into the warm cavern of her mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him close.
When the kiss broke apart she whispered “Ai shiteru, Inuyasha.”
He replied, his eyes full of love and desire, “Ai shiteru, Kagome.” He smiled then, “My mate.”
***
The priestess jerked back as the vision left her and dimly heard the voices of the village girl and her mother asking her if she was well. She made no reply as impossible tears slid down her face. With shaking hands she lifted up her fingers to brush the tears away and stare at them in shock. Dead as she was with a clay body, she should not have been able to shed tears. She continued to cry in sorrow as thoughts rushed through her mind.
‘Inuyasha, you finally made your choice. You were making love to her. She is so happy; her emotions are still rushing through me, making me feel more then I ever did when I was alive.’ Kikyo closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around her waist, her distress plain to see. ‘He pleases her much more then he did me.’ She thought as she sobbed, ‘Of course she does. I could never make myself let go enough to love him that way. She is so much more passionate then I am and less reserved. I’ve lost him to you, Kagome. My reincarnation.’
When a small rough hand touched her cheek wiping away the tears, Kikyo looked up, startled.
“Are you okay, Kikyo-sama?” the little girl asked, worried.
For a moment, the undead priestess just looked at the girl, seeing in her the child she and Inuyasha would never have. She could still feel her reincarnation’s emotions, her love and desire. It was this that allowed her to let go of the strings that had kept her soul tied to Inuyasha. Sitting up, the older girl smiled at the younger, her soul feeling a little of the peace it longed for. Finally she could have a bit of what she wanted, only not how she wanted it.
Patting the girl’s head, she spoke to her reassuringly, “I’m fine. I was only remembering something; A dream from long ago.”
‘I give him to you freely, Kagome. Through you I will finally experience the love and happiness with Inuyasha that I always dreamed of.’ With that thought in mind she silently resolved to destroy Naraku soon, before she again meet up with Kagome and Inuyasha.
