Cinnamon Spider is owned by the group 'Jack Off Jill' I also don't own Inuyasha


=A witch will burn
when she's thrown into the fire
Not her she'll peel and writhe
but never expire
She crawls on webs of lies
I die up inside her
to take what's mine
that bitch the cinnamon spider=

Kikyou walked through the forest. She was 'In-Between' villages again. This time she had been found out by an old man.
She had liked him. It was a pity he had to be killed. Her Shini-Dama-Chuu (soul skimmer insect youkai)swirled around her,
chirping in a language she understood, about how they were her willing servants. It was annoying.
"Go in search of that girl....Kagome...." The insects darted off to do her bidding. She leaned against a tree, her hair
flowing in the wind, strands detatching to swirl around her body almost as if directed by a magnet. She took this time,
to methodically reflect on her 'reincarnation'. The girl was very pretty, and quite talented in the spiritual area, a
fact that was quite an annoyance as far as Kikyou was concerned. What was more, Inuyasha seemed quite fond of her. She
would be hard to get rid of, if not impossible, while Inuyasha was around.....

Her thoughts turned to her death, as they often did. She resented many people for her death, Inuyasha, Naraku, even
Kagome to an extent, but most of all She regretted her own stupidity in action. At the time she had been acting like a
martyr. Even then she hadn't really LOVED Inuyasha. He was just something to use in order to alleviate the lonliness that
her station in life commanded she keep. Asking him to become human for her was merely a show of her own sadistic brilliance.
She had been well aware that for someone who wished to become youkai, to change himself into a human, just for her, would
make him hers forever. Not that she wanted him so that she could LOVE him, only so that she could claim him as her own.

And because she had felt like playing the martyr, she had been burned, along with that accursed jewel.
Apparently that hadn't been enough. The jewel had resurfaced fifty years later, along with a girl that looked just like
her, who had succeeded in destroying her last, and most powerful work, the work that was supposed to last forever and ever
in less than an hour.
....Damnit.

Kikyou was quite aware that she no longer had very much holy power. Her own soul, was constantly crying, and begging to
get out. The only thing that kept it from escaping, and leaving her hard won body to become clay once more, was the wall of
dead souls she surrounded it in. Of course, those eventually wore out....Which meant she had to either find a battle feild
where the souls had not yet fled, or.....kill something.


=I won't try
and every time I tell that lie
I live without guilt
and I won't cry
and I hope you love your life
and live with your guilt=

As far as she was concerned, Inuyasha wasn't really a person, and neither were any of his friends. Kagome was just Kikyou,
so there was no harm in lying to HER. The monk and the slayer, were just trivial people, useless to her. No harm lying to
something is too stupid to understand. Their self-righteous plight annoyed her. That stupid Kagome, always pretending to
be a nice little girl, with her insistance that her only wish was to purify the jewel.

It made her sick.
It was disgusting.
That little bitch had to be stopped.

Yes, Kikyou loved her life. This life was more free than her first. she was free to hate.....

She jerked to attention, as one of her shini-dama-chuu caressed her ear, it's small forked tongue flicking against the
lobe as it talked.

"She comes, my lady....."

Good. It's time for the little bitch to die.

She turned as she heard a rustling of the bushes. She smirked as the pale face of Kagome appeared.

=Consumed by hate and guilt
She'll never retire
too old to fix
too dead to ever acquire
slit wrists - talk shit
But she will never inspire
a plan to save herself
the cinnamon spider=

Kagome gasped, and her grip on her bow slipped fractionally.

"K-K-Kikyou!" she stuttered. She took a better look at Kikyou, and her gaze immeadiately became worried.
"Kikyou, you look hurt. Are you alright?" Her look was one of genuine concern.
In that instant, Kikyou hated her more than ever. Her fucking cheerful attitude. Didn't she know there was
nothing in this world to be happy about? There was just winning and losing, damnit, and Kikyou sincerely hoped
that the girl was losing.
She put on a cold face, the one she reserved for Naraku.

"Kagome, I wish to speak with you." Kikyou said with confidence, brushing hair from her face regally.
"I need to ask you what the problem is."
"Problem?" Kagome looked puzzled.
" Yes. You see, you seem intent on keeping me from Inuyasha."
"Um....that's because you want to....kill him...." Kagome fidgited.
"You don't understand. My soul cannot find rest until he dies. I've explained this, i believe."
"Um...."
"Listen, you idiot. Inuyasha is MINE. If you try to interfere again, I will make sure you come by an 'Accident'."
Kikyou bore down on the girl with the cool intimidation that came naturally to her.
Kagome's kind demenor melted, and she faced the older girl with a face that perfectly mirrored her own.
"No." said Kagome simply.
Kikyou just stared, shocked.
"You can't intimidate me. In case you haven't noticed, I could take the rest of our soul in an instant, i'm just LETTING
you live out of the goodness of my heart. The second you piss me off, I'll kill you dead. No doubts, No reservation.
Nothing. And if you die by my hands, you will stay dead." Kagome stated softly.
"Stupid bitch. We both know that Inuyasha....." Kikyou stepped in closer to Kagome, the two almost touching chests.
"Would NEVER forgive you....he'd HATE you....everyone would....you'd be a MURDERER." whispered kikyou.
"You can't kill what's already dead, you know." said Kagome cattily.


=I won't try
and every time I tell that lie
I live without guilt
and I won't cry
and I hope you love your life
and live with your guilt=

Kagome pushed her self the rest of the way against Kikyou, trying to make her back down.
"Don't even try to lie to me, you fucking spider-bitch! You're a SOCIOPATH who feels NOTHING except anger, and self pity!!!
You spend your time wandering around, and WHINING to anyone who will listen about how you were cheated--Well so what?
I know people who have had it much worse than you EVER did. You got a second chance, and you THROW IT AWAY on being
hateful to others, and crying to Inuyasha--Who has more important things to worry about-- about how it's all his fault
Well guess what? It stops here. You come near him again, and I'll drain you dry as clay. So enjoy the time I give you
until i decide you aren't worth it anymore. Live with your guilt. You deserve it." with that Kagome turned on her heel,
and calmly left.

=bite heads off those who fail
and try to imply her
forlorn despised
I am the cinnamon spider=

Kikyou smirked softly at the mental picture of herself as a spider. The image was fitting, considering her self serving,
lonewolf nature. She remembered another person who's image was a spider, and she immeadiately decided she disliked the
image which a few moments earlier had caused her a great amount of humor.

That damn Onigumo. This was all his fault really.
Not hers.
Naraku too. Damn him.
She had never been at fault.
And Kagome. She shouldn't have been born.
She was responsible.
Inuyasha. Yes, that's it. It was his fault too.
No matter, they would all die.

Her shini-dama-chuu swirled around her, and she took off, airborn under their touch.
They were the only ones who loved her.

She could smell her own scent, that of cinnamon.
She smirked.
She was a Cinnamon Spider....
Yes, that was it.

=I won't try
and every time I tell that lie
I live without guilt
and I won't cry
and I hope you love your life
and live with your guilt=

She looked down from the air, and spotted Inuyasha, perched up in a tree.
He would be hers, or die. Not that she cared, but at this moment it was a matter of pride. She would be damned if she let
that slip of a girl take her prize from her. She'd send the little bitch home crying to wherever she came from.
ah, she loved her life.
No guilt for Kikyou.

=and I am fine
and I'll learn to take what's mine
and live without guilt
Oh yeah=

She laughed, and let her Shini-Dama-Chuu carry her away.
She WOULD have Inuyasha. No guilt for Kikyou.
Yes, Life WAS good.
