Wow! It's been a while since I've written anything for Inuyasha. About time I wrote something new, hu? Now, normally I'm an InuyashaXKagome fan all the way. But one of Valshe's Vocaloid covers has inspired me to write my first InuyashaXKikyo song-fic. Hope you all enjoy!

Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha

Song- Soundless Voice

Artist- Kagamine Len (I highly suggest listening to Valshe's version)

Lyrics- italics

Quotes from episode 8 of Inuyasha: The Final Act- Bold/italics

At night when silence

Envelops the town

It is raining white

I hold up my palms

The snow melts as soon as I touch it

A transient piece of life

It was nearing twilight now. Sun setting and stars starting to fill a rose colored sky, weary travlers sit on the banks of a grassy field. It'd been one hell of a fight. Sweat, blood, and tears had been shed in order to once again escape the clutches of the evil Naraku. Although, most of the heros came out with their skin still intact, one had been fatally wounded.

Snow accumulates without a sound

Like light

You smile as you gather it

"Hey, how do I sound?"

Even if you reply, you

Cannot hear anymore

Kikyo; priestess of both the living and the dead was down for the count. The seemingly immortal woman of the afterlife was taking in her final breaths of life. Her time had finally come to fade from existence and move onto the netherworld. She had given her life to save another. She had completed the task she'd set out to accomplish.

Say you're in pain

Say you're lonely

I'll find you

Wherever you are...

Don't leave me behind, aren't we always

Together as one?

Amber eyes starring down into mocha depths Inuyasha attempts to hold back the flood of emotion building up inside him. Long had he though Kikyo was out for his destruction. Her purpose was to destroy the being who held her most high in his heart. It was now though, that he realized, non of it was true. Kikyo had been on his side all along. Working to weaken the monster, so Inuyasha could deliver the final blow.

Do you remember, Inuyasha? Long before Naraku tore us apart...

As the snow becomes thicker

You gradually fade away

I can't do anything but embrace you

The memories were flooding back into his mind. Sitting on the hill by one another. Looking out at that glorious sunset. Making the decision to become a mortal man, so Kikyo could live a normal life. Everything had seemed so perfect. The bond between them seemed unbreakable. Who knew they'd be cut down in their prime; one put to sleep, the other sent to sleep eternal. Or at least that was how things were supposed to end up.

How could I ever forget? Back then I was ready to become human and live with you.

I wish, just one more time

To hear your voice

One more time, just one more time

Say my name

To his dismay, a light smile graces her lips. Through all the torment. All the pain. Through all the endless wandering of her seemingly meaningless existence; she smiles.

I have finally become an ordinary woman.

From your unfocused, blank eyes

A drop appeared

His heart is pounding. Throbbing. The moisture is building. Dripping. No, it's flowing now. Cascading down his cheeks. Streaking his jawline. Falling onto his beloved's robe. Tears soak into the soft fabric. Inuyasha is crying for the first time.

Kikyo. You were the first woman I ever cared for. And yet...I couldn't do anything for you.

In this gray world

Everything has stopped

Except for the quietly falling snow

This is the first time I've ever seen you cry, Inuyasha.

You are becoming cold

Your voice has not come back

We've given up understanding each other

I have ran out of tears

I cannot

Melt you...

The grief inside him is increasing. Watching every expression. Listening to her breathe. Feeling the slow pace of her heart against his chest. He knows all of it is ending. He's aware that she'll fade into a fine dust, Never to be seen again. There must have been something he could have done. Anything to prolong this tragic occurance.

Kikyo, I...I couldn't save you!

If possible, my voice

Take it all away

And give it to the person dear to me

She rests her hand against his cheek. She wipes his tears. Holds his face within her cool grip. Looking up into his orbs, eyes shinning, he lips begin to curl once more.

If I'll be in a world alone

Without you

Just...

Take me away

With you

You came for me...that's enough.

I love you, even that

Cannot be said

Our era

Is about to close

Forever

He can barely contain his sobs any longer. Crushing the miko against his brawny chest, he inhales her scent. Takes in the last of her fading warmth.

Kikyo...

Firmly pressing their lips together, miko and hanyou share a dying moment.

Even if I shout, I can't get

You or your voice back

Inuyasha...

Light surrounds her still form. Raven haired beauty lost to the land of the living, soul collectors fill the twinkling sky. Raising himself to his feet, Inuyasha watches as the dragon-like creatures ascend high above the traveler's heads.

Kikyo.

To the falling snow

Please don't stop falling

Take me away with her

Inuyasha...

That voice. Turning for a moment, looking over his right shoulder, he sees her face. Nearly identical. A mirror image. Yet completely different at the same time.

Everything transit, my voice, my life

Erase all of them

I didn't want Kikyo to endure anymore sorrow.

Until all is white

I wanted to protect her forever.
