Reason

My name is Kikyou, and I was once the guardian of the Shikon Jewel. To some it is also known as the Jewel of Four Souls… More than fifty years ago I was had given the task to purify this jewel. Demons everywhere came for the jewel. They say the Shikon Jewel can grant any wish including turning a half-demon to a full demon… Shortly after I receive the Jewel, another Miko or Priestess named Tsubaki came and cursed me.

"A Miko must abandon her human heart in order to achieve power. In the case of a woman, this applies to love as well" Tsubaki said as me and my sister turned away

"Love you say? You think I would fall in love?" I asked in amusement

"Don't forget. You must extinguish love. You must never hold a man dear. If such a man were to appear, you would suffer an untimely death"

"Hmph, I'll remember that" I replied trying to humor this traveling priestess

When she warned me, I already knew that she had given me a curse. Never fall in love or death shall await me… I never expected to fall in love. So I didn't mind nor did I care about this curse. However, I knew my younger sister was worried about me…

As I continued to purify the Shikon Jewel, more and more demons came. All wanting for power and even the half-demon with the name Inuyasha was no exception. I killed demons was an arrow or two. Yet, I could never kill the half-demon Inuyasha… I would threaten him each of his attempt yet he never followed through…

"What, why the hell don't you finish me off?" Inuyasha shouted annoyed

"Don't come after the jewel. I have no wish to waste anymore arrows" I ordered

Eventually, Inuyasha had saved my younger sister Keade from Miss Centipede. Thus I had thanked the half-demon with my gratitude. I found out that he and I was so much alike… Him being a half-demon, neither a demon or human and I being a Priestess not a woman but a traveling priestess with no purpose but to purify the jewel… It makes more sense to me then to anyone else anyway…Inuyasha then started to follow me around. He says that no other demon will lay a finger on that jewel than him. I nodded in amusement.

I started to shelter a wounded man with the name Onigumo. His body has been severely burned and will forever be paralyzed. I pitied the man. And so Keade and I started to feed him and gave his medicine.

Though he is paralyzed he wanted to jewel as well. I found him not a threat though my sister did. His feelings for me grew each day I came over. But as always I chose to ignore his words.

As time continued to move forward, as did my feelings with Inuyasha, until the day I asked him. To become human…

"If I do accept… What will happen to you?" Inuyasha asked

"I am the guardian of the Shikon Jewel. If the jewel were to vanish, I would become an ordinary woman."

He was hesitated at first. But I knew I'd be to if I were asked to become something other than my goal…

"Kikyou… I will become human. I don't have any reservations. I will become human…"

"Inuyasha…"

"And since you've been lonely all this time, I could…"

"That's enough… You don't need to say anything else"

"Kikyou, I want you to know… I truly am inl-" I kissed him, interrupting his sentence. After a few seconds, he kissed back making it more passionate. I truly will never forget this moment…

The next morning as planned I went to find Inuyasha. Bringing with me the Shikon Jewel… As I looked around calling him. The next thing I knew I was in the ground with blood over my right shoulder

"You fool… I had absolutely no intention of becoming human. But I'll take the Shikon No Tama as thanks. This jewel needs to absorb even more bitter blood. I think I'll go kill the villagers" Inuyasha voice said walking away leaving me…

"Damn you Inuyasha…! You were planning on deceiving me from the start? So all your words were lies? Damn you… Damn you!" I shouted with pure hatred and betrayal…

With all of my strength I went to search for that half-demon Inuyasha.

"Finally, with this I can become a full demon! No one will ever call me a half-demon again!" Inuyasha announced fleeing from the shrine.

"INUYASHA…" I shouted "I believed in you… I BELIEVED IN YOU…!" I thought with pure hatred readying my arrow "Inuyasha!" I shouted once more releasing my final arrow.

It hits Inuyasha… Sealing him with the tree of time…

"Kikyou… How dare you…" Inuyasha whispered weakly

The villagers surrounded me worried about my wounded shoulder… It's to late… Tsubaki's curse has finally succeeded… Inuyasha's eyes slowly closed…

"All this… It was for all this…" I said holding the Shikon jewel "Listen to me Kaede… This… the Shikon no Tama… you must burn it with my body." I ordered "So that it won't fall into the hands of evil again." And so my time was up… My body became heavier and so did my eyes all I can hear was my sister calling my name. Crying as she called me sister… And then I went to an eternal slumber…

My name is Kikyou, and fifty years later I was forced to return to the world. My body was made of bones, clay, my ashes and grave yard soil. The witch Urasue had stolen my soul from my reincarnation Kagome. When I finally did return, the first thing I did was to kill the witch Urasue. Next I focused on killing Inuyasha. However, the girl, Kagome somehow tried to call her soul back. With my last strength I went towards the cliff. The foolish half-demon Inuyasha came after me. And tried to prevent me from falling off the cliff… Why did he do that? Did he not also want my death? No matter I will not fall for it again. He will not toy with me any longer. And so I release myself from Inuyasha's hand and I fell down the mist of the cliff. As he yelled out my name, I wondered why he looked so shock when I told him about his betrayal….

"Inuyasha… Why are you still alive…? I bound you to a tree with a sacred arrow"

"Yeah you sure did. And I was trapped there for fifty years. But as you can see I am alive and ready to take you on again" Inuyasha said full of determination

"You vile beast… I despise you… You lonesome half-man" I spoke standing up… As I walked towards the half demon Inuyasha my wound from fifty years ago opened up once more… And blood quickly came out…

"Huh…? Got a problem Kikyou?"

"Why did you betray me INUYASHA?" I demanded my hatred returned the moment the wound return once more on my shoulder

"What's going on? Where's all that blood coming from?" Inuyasha asked

"Look closely Inuyasha, is that not the fatal wound you inflicted on Kikyou?" An elderly woman said

"I inflicted…! What are you saying? That I was the one who killed Kikyou?" Inuyasha questioned

"Yes, it was her wounds that ensured her fate. And ensured her demised" The elder woman said

"There must be some mistake of some kind. I didn't kill her. I don't remember wounding her!" Inuyasha said surprised

"Can ye be certain?" The elder asked "These wounds did not come from your hand? Think hard! Try to remember…! If not you then… who killed my sister?"

I couldn't take it anymore… And do I with my powers I tried to destroy him… The elderly woman came and told me she was my sister… Why would my younger sister Kaede betray me as well?

"Hand me those arrows!"

"I will do no such thing!" Kaede refused

"Kaede…! Listen to your older sister!" I ordered shoving her aside releasing the arrow. Eventually there became a point when that girl… My reincarnation called back the soul that was once mine. With all my strength I walked away taking with me the last piece of soul that still remains to me… My soul filled with hate and betryal...

"The once pure maiden is now a demon… A demon that's feeding on her hatred of you… Hoho isn't that wonderful…?" The witch turned to sand and vanished on the spot

The half demon Inuyasha followed me as I fell on the cliff…

"As long as you lived I cannot rest… My soul cannot be saved until I see you dead!" And with that I let go of the man I once loved and fell down the mountain…

My name is Kikyou, and I am now a walking corpse. Feeding on souls of young maidens… I have come to learn about Naraku… The half demon Naraku was born by hundreds of demons and the soul of Onigumo. It was Naraku that cursed my faith. Mine and Inuyasha… As well as his companions: the monk Miroku and the demon slayer Sango. And maybe the possiblities of others that I have never come to know...

It's strange; Inuyasha's companions all thinks I am in Naraku's side. Just because I took back the item that is rightfully mine and gave it to that pitiful half demon named Naraku. Though I don't care what they think. But, somewhere deep down I do care what Inuyasha thinks…

I plan to destroy the Shikon Jewel along with Naraku… That's why my soul that is filled with hate, may finally rest… Nothing not even that demon's death will purify my soul… Not Inuyasha, not my once younger sister Kaede, not Tsubaki, not the Shikon jewel and… certainly not the girl that has my reflection…

I traveled with my soul collectors. Helping villagers with their sickness and purify any threatening demon. I have not seen Inuyasha for awhile, nor do I want…

As I looked back, I was the woman that Inuyasha first trusted. The woman that brought back his heart after he lost it when his mother died… And his friends are now slowly rebuilding it… I have no reason to hate my reincarnation. Though my action seems otherwise, I truly do respect her. She is everything I wanted to be. A woman, living a normal life, with a normal family…

I sighed as I walked down the hill. I refuse to admit I was lost. I am simply somewhere I am not familiar with. All I know is that for each step a soul comes out of my clay body… "A barrier…? A spiritual barrier that rejects these souls…?" I thought as one by one my soul collectors get destroyed.

I ignored these warnings. And I continued to move onwards. Until to the point where I returned to this same sign I passed a few moments ago. I stared a little dumbfounded as I actually felt went to read it… Warning, do not go any further! Going onwards will result a horrifying illusions! You have been warned!

"So that was it… An illusion spell…" I thought "So I have to go around…" Normally I would continue and face the demon. But I know better than to fight it while I'm on their territory. I purified way too much demons to understand how protective they get when you are on their territory…

I continued around as I planned before and noticed the flower field. It was filled with so many flowers of many colors… The children in my village a long time ago loved to pick flowers… I then noticed a human presence. I turned as the figure quickly hid behind the tree. I knew it was a child, since of their size and the messy but beautiful hair, as well as her orange kimono. I smiled; children always have this effect on me…

"It's alright, I won't hurt you" I said assuring the girl. She peaked at me and slowly came out of her hiding place. "My name is Kikyou… And you are…?"

She stared at me with her brown eyes and smiled. "Rin"

"Well Rin, why are you here? The village is way to far away you know" I said to the girl kneeling down next to her "It's dangerous for you to be alone"

"I came to pick flowers for Lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin beamed in happiness

"Is that right…?"

"Yep, would you like to help me Lady Kikyou?" Rin asked. I was slightly taken back.

"Yes, I'd love to help you" I replied

"Really…? Thank you so much!" Rin said gratefully hugging me "I'll pick the purple ones and you can pick the blue ones okay?"

For the whole afternoon were just me and her. She loved to talk and I enjoyed her presence greatly. "Lady Kikyou, I had fun lots today!" She announced carrying her basket filled with flowers of different variety. "I get lonely since Lord Sesshoumaru isn't here… And Master Jaken won't ever play with me willingly"

"I had a lot of fun with you today as well" I said standing up dusting the dirt away from my knees.

"I have to go... Master Jaken should be worried right now..." Rin said quietly as she handed me a blue flower "Thank you Lady Kikyou! I hope to see you again soon" Rin then ran toward the forest as I waved good bye

"A human girl traveling with the Lord of the West...?" I thought to myself. I have heard about the Lord of the West many years ago. From the rumors he is suppose to be a human hater, as well as his name meaning 'Killing Perfection'.

It was late now. And since I have lost a couple of souls during my walk a few hours ago, I decided that it is time to rest up and collect new souls... However that child Rin stayed into my thoughts... I pray she is safe and that her 'Lord' and 'Master' is protecting her...

Sleeping wasn't really necessary for me. Yet, I enjoy sleeping... I have been accustomed to wake up during sunrise... I stretched for a bit as my soul collectors circled around me. "What is it...?" I asked them. Pretty soon I followed them to where they wanted me to go… I had a bad feeling about it…

I continued to follow my soul collectors back to the flower field. One by one they vanished. They were merely trying to defend themselves. Until to the point where I was all alone… Or so I thought…

I saw a greenish demon toad. He had huge yellow eyes and held a staff with two heads. I stared as he panicked walking back and forth.

"Oh my… oh my… If Lord Sesshoumaru does not return…!" He said panicked. "Why didn't I bring Ah-Un with me!" I stared at him in confusion. He looked… like he was crying…? "Lord Sesshoumaru will kill me no doubt! If anything happens to Rin…"

"Rin…?" I repeated ending his little rant "What happened to Rin?"

He glared at me for a few seconds then sighed in defeat. "The illusionist demon… Has come and taken Rin…"

"What…?"

"That foolish child went of chasing a pathetic butterfly… And now look what happened!" The toad demon said "The demon placed a barrier and milord still has not returned from his chase with Naraku…"

"Naraku…?" I questioned. "So the Lord of the Western Lands is also part of the chase of Naraku…" I thought slightly amused

"I see you have heard of him" The toad took note off mentally

"You could say something like that… Now back to Rin… Which direction did she go?" I asked

"That way…! Up north…!" He said

"Alright…" I turned heading onwards

"W-wait…! Allow me, the great Lord Sesshoumaru's loyal servant Jaken to accompany you" Jaken said

I nodded in approval after all he is the one responsible for the safety of Rin. And I remember how the Lord of the Western Lands isn't the type of person you want to anger, much less disappoint…

Sorry if it isn't as creative… But this is all I have at the moment! Please feel free to suggest any ideas… And I have finally returned after almost 3 years! Sorry about that as well… You might have also forgotton about me. Or wondering how I was in your alert list… But yeah, I am also writing this because I noticed that Kikyou isn't as active as it was before I left … Anyway, thanks for the welcome back! :D And don't forget to Review and give me your thoughts! How did I did on Kikyou's Point of view? It's more likly going to be 3rd person later on...

Btw… I have not yet watch Inuyasha the Final Act yet… I don't know where I can watch it so can someone tell me where? Thanks again!
