Disclaimer: A Sess/Kik fic. No flames please. There are millions of reasons that these two go together. Back of Sess fangirls! He's Kikyo's! I mean...Kikyo is way better for Sesshoumaru than Kagome or Kagura would ever be. Sesshoumaru doesn't like Kagura, Sesshoumaru hates Kagome, and Kagome hates him. (Plus the fact Kagura or Kagome looks REALLY BAD with him.) So it proves that all of you Sess/Kag lovers...are really stupid after all. Mahahahaha!!! And Kikyo nor Sesshoumaru ever tried to kill each other, Sesshoumaru and Kikyo are by each other in most group pictures, Sesshoumaru turned away each time Kikyo's name was mentioned, Sesshoumaru was concerned for Kikyo and called her by name, see, plenty of hints. Sess/Kik foreva!! Anyway...for all of the smart peoples out there...who aren't blind like the Sess/Kag fans...enjoy the story!

Burned down, Burned on

Prologue

Deep underground, I kept digging a hole

Without knowing where it would lead.

With a dirt-covered eyepiece in one hand,

I search for your arm. Kikyo felt her vision fading away. Her bright brown eyes glared at the half breed as she shot her arrow and sealed him away. Tears formed in her eyes as she felt her legs buckle and she fell to the ground. Scraping together patchwork happiness, and sewing it

I was crushed by your strength. Kikyo felt her sister's warm grasp on her white miko top. "Sister...are you alright?" her sister's voice tried breaking through. Kikyo felt the villager's presence all around her. Kikyo took out a purplish jewel and handed it to her sister, Keade. "Burn this...with my remains...I will not last long..." Kikyo muttered with the last bit of strength. Burned on, Burned on,

The inerasable scars left by the palms of my hands.

Sever a rift in the red-stained clouds with my torn hands,

See, I can flutter better than you thought. The hot burning flames licked at Kikyo's body. Though her body was dead, her thoughts still gave in. Her mind racing...betrayal surging through her broken heart...the wound on her shoulder...the still fresh warm blood... 'How could he betray me like this? Why?' her mind kept racing. The eternity that I dreamed while confined in my cocoon

Where will it take seed and blossom?

The morning will eventually come and bring the darkness back home

And steal my eyes away from me. 'One day...I will return, Inuyasha.' her thought seemed to echo. Kikyo's spirit was restless the moment it left her body. 'Some day...I'll be back!' Fumbling for you by moonlight, overlapping and entangling with you,

I believe I could become your true hiding place. Keade lay broken-hearted in bed. Tears ran down her cheeks as she thought about her dead sister. "Kikyo..." she cried. Kikyo's spirit watched her sister. Kikyo was ever more sad...she couldn't even cry. Burned down, Burned down,

The place of our promise that will never return.

Run across the black-stained earth with a torn-off agony

See, I can flutter better than you thought. Keade tossed and turned. Kikyo knelt down and placed a gentle hand on her sister. To Kikyo's surprise, she settled down a bit...and...smiled. Kikyo was in awe at this and smiled back. Kikyo seemed to vanish after that. Leaving this Earth. Waiting...and waiting...forever. If you can't hear me, even though I scream,

I want you to destroy me with your own hands

While you can still hold me dear. "I'll wait...forever." Kikyo's voice echoed once more throughout the fields of soft grass blowing in the mid-summer's wind. Animals turned and ran at the sight of movement, and straw seemed to whistle in the gentle breeze. The sun shot up over the mountain...giving a red, warm presence, and shone brightly as Kikyo's eyes once did. Your arms that hold me back

Turn into a gentle dust.

I simply stare at the sky, silently. The village was morose and sad that sad night. The streams of light streamed through the trees lighting Inuyasha's face. The arrow still freshly pierced through his heart.

Burned on, Burned on

The inerasable scars left by the palms of my hands

Sever a rift in the red stained clouds with my torn hands Burned down, Burned down,

The place of our promise that will never return.

See, I can flutter better than you thought.
