Kagome woke to the shards pulsing around her neck. She sat up with a start. Shards? She looked around for Sesshomaru, but he was nowhere, and instead around her was her friends. She warily got to her feet, and noted she was in her school uniform. That’s odd. The last one I wore was ruined when… Kagome looked around in horror. Her heart thudded in her chest as she realized that this was all too familiar. She crept to the door of the temple, and looked in to see Inuyasha speaking with Kikyou. She backed away.
She was panting as she tried to understand what was going on. Why was she being forced to relive this? Was this her punishment? Then the shards pulsed again, and Kagome remembered the shard telling her to make a wish. What had she wished? She couldn’t remember, but whatever it was it was selfish as the jewel was still around, and it had sent her back to now.
Inuyasha exited the temple ending her thoughts. He was going to drag her in there, and Kikyou was going to put her on the altar. Kagome backed away from Inuyasha unwilling to do this again. She didn’t want to live through it. She didn’t want to relive the last five hundred years as she had with all the torment.
Inuyasha was looking at her, and when he opened his mouth he knew exactly what would come out. “Kagome, why are you awake?” She could see that he was concerned and didn’t understand why she was looking at him like she was.
“I should ask you the same.” Her tone was scathing, and she saw Inuyasha start at it. But then he didn’t remember like she did, or he wouldn’t be doing this again. Kagome didn’t care anymore. She was desperately trying to remember what her wish was, and wondering if she could change this night.
“She’s dying Kagome.” Inuyasha was looking ashamed, and there was no doubt that even now he knew what Kikyou was after.
“I know.” Kagome exalted that she had managed to say something other than what she had that night. “I can feel it.” Inuyasha looked startled, and like he was unsure what to do. Kagome knew she finally had the upper hand. “And I know what she wants. I can give it to her, but she will never be the woman you loved fifty years ago. She is just a shell, and already dead.”
Inuyasha looked at her. “Will you at least listen to her tonight? She needs help, that’s why she asked me to bring you here.”
Kagome shook her head. Was he stuck? “She wants the soul inside me.” Kagome told him calmly. At least one of them, she thought to herself. She knew that Kikyou needed to take her soul if she was to Kill Naraku, and this time she would.
“It was her soul to begin with, but that isn’t what she wants!”
Kagome shook her head, and noticed that Sango was awake. Could she not deter this night in a better way? She didn’t want her friend to get hurt. “Baka.” Kagome whispered knowing he would hear her. “You need to open your eyes.” Then she strode past him. He watched her enter the temple wide eyed, and then dashed after her.
Kagome stood before Kikyou unafraid. “You want the soul inside me then just come out and say it!”
Kikyou looked surprised as well, but Kagome was well past playing by the rules. Kikyou glanced at Inuyasha knowing where this conversation would lead. She didn’t want him to hear. “Inuyasha leave us to speak.”
Kagome watched him go, this time she was sickened by his unswerving loyalty do a dead bitch. A dark miko at that, who cared nothing for him, but used him to her advantage. Kagome wondered what it was in her second life that compelled her to let a hanyou mate her even as she had committed acts against woman whom hand loved as Kagome had, with no regard for species. But then she never loved Inuyasha did she? Maybe that was the answer.
“Let’s get the point here shall we?” Kagome asked slowly walking around. She knew this place all too well now. “The souls inside you are too weak to keep you going anymore, and you need the rest of the soul inside me to continue living your false life.” She turned to smile at a glaring Kikyou. “Bout summed it up haven’t I?”
There was a commotion at the door as Sango tried to enter the temple. Kagome turned toward it, but caught Kikyou as she tried to smear something on her head. “That’s won’t be needed my dear Kikyou.” Kagome said pushing her away into the altar. Kagome watched her as Sango approached.
Sango shoved past Inuyasha, and headed straight toward Kikyou. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” She demanded.
“Retrieving what is rightfully mine.” Kikyou said back softly, and far too calmly.
Kagome called out, “Sango, go back outside.”
“No! I won’t let this dead bitch hurt you!” She got into her battle stance as she glared at Kikyou.
There was no stopping it. Sango glanced over to Kagome, and in that moment Kikyou acted. She put her hands on Sango, and the woman flew back with a burst of dark energy from Kikyou. “Sango!” Kagome didn’t bother looked to Inuyasha. He wouldn’t see Kikyou’s true self until much later.
“What have you done?!” it was Miroku. He rushed to Sango checking her over for a pulse, followed closely by the Fire Neko, as well as any injuries. He then stood, and glared at Kikyou. Kiara transformed to her large form, and growled at Kikyou. Miroku put a hand on her to calm her.
Kagome looked at Miroku. “Take Sango to safety, and let me deal with this.”
“I can’t do that Kagome. There’s no telling what she might try.”
Kagome hung her head. “No. But there is a simple truth in all of this. I don’t have what it takes to defeat Naraku. You need someone who can control their miko powers,” She resisted saying ‘even if they are dark,’ “And Kikyou can do that.” Kagome looked up at him to see the astonishment written across his face, then she looked at Kikyou. “She has agreed to preserve my body, and after Naraku is dead, to return and return the soul.”
Kikyou narrowed her eyes at Kagome, but said nothing to refute her. Kagome glanced over at Miroku. “Kagome, I doubt she will hold true to her word…”
“Perhaps, but it is a chance we must take, ne?” She paused. “Please take Sango away.”
She saw the hesitation and distrust in his eyes. He knew what this would mean if their soul was shared, but she couldn’t reassure him. Kagome refused to travel with the dead miko longer than needed. Slowly Miroku picked up Sango, and turned away. “I’m sorry Kagome.” He whispered.
“Don’t be, this is my choice” she told him. Then she finally looked at Inuyasha whom was gaping at her. “Go help him Inuyasha.”
Inuyasha looked to Kikyou, whom nodded, before leaving.
Once they were gone Kikyou sneered at Kagome. “Seeing it my way huh? What a smart little girl.”
Kagome smirked at Kikyou. “This won’t give you what you want. You will still need the souls of others, and Inuyasha will never be able to permanently mark you, but you know that don’t you? You don’t love him, otherwise you would deserve to be on that altar yourself then in your eyes.”
Kikyou smiled in an ugly way. “And tell me, how you know such things?”
Kagome smiled sweetly. “I lived them.” She said flippantly. “Any why, there is a time restraint here. So I will release the soul to you and you will go on your way.”
Kikyou narrowed her eyes. “You’re making this rather easy. Finally seem that Inuyasha loves only me?” Kagome laughed. “What kind of game are you playing here?”
“No game. But if you want your soul you will stop asking questions.” Kagome smiled as Kikyou fell silent. She sat leaning against the wall with the souls trapped in it. “Catch!” Then she closed her eyes, and ripped Kikyou’s soul free of her own, and cast it to the dead woman.
She played dead as Kikyou came over and kicked her over, and then left. Once they were gone Kagome rose, and took the same set of robes as before, and left behind the dark place. She wondered if not have laid on the altar, and bled would change her inability to bare children. She could hope.
Kagome stepped into the still night, and watched as her friends left with Kikyou and Inuyasha. Miroku glanced over his shoulder several times at the temple, but Inuyasha never did. She waited until they were gone from sight, and went to the stream. She sat in the brush, and wondered how different her life would be now.
