Kagome stood overlooking the village she would no longer enter. It was Kikyou’s place, and she would not tread there. “What will you give to have your revenge? Will you let it consume you? Will you give it everything if that is what it takes to achieve the end you want?”
Inuyasha watched Kagome. His heart hurt. He knew she would never again look at him the same. He wondered at his choice. He understood now that Kagome was right that he had chosen, but he wasn’t sure if it was the right one. He found it hard to see Kagome before and not Kikyou when he looked at her. Not anymore. Now he could clearly see the woman Kagome was, and how different she was from Kikyou. He knew he was wrong in what he did, but he had followed his heart. Now it seemed his heart was wrong.
He looked at the woman he would mate if she let him. He had asked her, and it seemed she was ready now. She had said that after this visit to Edo and her sister, she would allow him to mark her as his mate. He wasn’t sure if it was what he truly wanted, but he would do it for what he owed to Kikyou.
He looked back to where Kagome stood, and saw her eyes on him and Kikyou. He saw the somehow savage smile that touched her lips. He knew that she hated him, and he wondered if she would ever act on it. He wondered what price she might ask of him when that day came for her retribution. He wondered how willing he would be to pay it.
**
Kagome stopped, and gazed into the distance. Everyone else stopped to look at her. “He comes.”
No one needed anything else to know what she meant. Inuyasha glanced at Kikyou to see the anger in her normally expressionless eyes. Then he looked over to see Shippou, Rin, and Jaken loaded on the dragon, which took off. Sesshomaru watched them go, but Kagome was still staring off into the distance. Inuyasha almost shuttered at the set expression on her face. It was a fierce determination that he had never seen her wear before. Then she turned to look at Kikyou. Inuyasha felt the tension between the two, and almost wanted to leap out of the way. She looked as if she was anticipating this fight with excitement. She looked like a bloodthirsty demon. She smiled that same savage smile that he had seen in the village before.
Inuyasha felt like he couldn’t breathe.
**
“You should rest; he will come on the morn.”
Kagome looked at him with weary eyes. She was tired, but sleep continued to evade her grasp. She wanted so desperately to fall into sleep, and leave the world and its hurts behind even for just one night. She wanted to be peaceful, and forget all that had happened here. She wanted at least one moment’s freedom from it all.
“I try.” She looked at her hands, the hands that would be instrumental in the death of Naraku. She almost wondered if he was the one that was her worst enemy or if there was another less obvious one. “It is difficult to clear my mind to rest properly.”
She felt Sesshomaru’s hand on her head, and looked up into his eyes; only catching a glimpse of his face and sorrowful eyes before blackness and nothing consumed her.
**
She woke at the first clash of battle. She was on her feet instantly. Sesshomaru was next to her. Before she could ask what he had done to her the demons swarmed in. There were so many, and there was no time for anything but fighting to survive.
There was a lull in the fight where Kagome briefly wondered if she would make it out of the battle alive, but then decided there was a much worse fate than dying. She glanced over to where Sango was fighting alongside Miroku. She knew that she would survive, but she feared for her sister. Kagome wasn’t sure if she wanted to live through her death. Even if her destiny was to walk this plane for eternity, she didn’t want to do it alone.
Demons closed in around them again, and the battle continued.
**
Kagome watched as the ones around her fell. She fought until the last blow was delivered. She knew that Naraku wasn’t dead, but she had purified every last demon from his body. She told no one letting them think that he had been killed.
She staggered to Sango and Miroku, and laid her hands on them. She let her powers flow into them, and watched their wounds nit. She wanted them to live and survive. She wanted them to live the life that she knew she could never have. She pushed past the hate in her heart for Miroku and his betrayal for her sister.
She looked around at the last battle field, and then collapsed. She saw Sesshomaru’s yellow gaze, and she was pulled away from the world. She closed her eyes, and let out a relieved sigh.
**
She woke in pain. She held it in silently, and opened her eyes to see yellow. “Sango-”
“Don’t speak, you are severely wounded. The slayer and monk are fine thanks to you. They travel back to the hanyou’s village to plan for their joining.”
He placed a hand on her head, and she felt the pain ease. She smiled, and drifted.
**
Pain seared through her body, and she knew her miko powers were healing her. It was agonizing, the pain, and knowing she was alive, and would be alone again. She didn’t want to open her eyes, but did anyway. She was alone.
She sat up, and found the new miko robes nearby. She donned them, and stepped out into the night. She turned, and went to Edo.
**
Kagome reached the village in full celebration. Naraku was dead, so they thought. Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kikyou were alive. Miroku’s hand was free from the void. Shippou and Kikyou both had been avenged. All was well in the world.
Still Kagome hung back, and did not enter the village, but left a gift on the table for the soon to be married couple. She wished them the best, and then she disappeared into the night to walk her path alone once more.
**
She went to a quiet place, one that no one knew of. There were no people for miles, and that was how she wanted it. Inside she was still struggling. She was alone, and was beginning to think she would always be as such. It wasn’t what she wanted, but who was she to deny destiny? She had always wanted to do what was needed before, but now? Now she had to decide how she was to live what was going to be her impossibly long life.
