InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Feudal Fairytale Ficlets ❯ Fake ( Chapter 15 )

A/N: Momigi asked my permission to write a Kikyou ficlet. She knows that I am very protective of her and do not like to see her abused—as she unfortunately so often is in the fandom. And then when she finished it she read it to me to make sure I approved of it. So rest easy, all you Kikyou fans who surely must be out there somewhere, although you are certainly keeping your heads down: “Fake” was given Botan's unqualified seal of approval. After all, I knew that Momigi in all her angst-y-ness would not be able to keep her claws off Kikyou for long.

“Fake”

 

I have no flesh. I have no heart. The blood in my veins? Dust. The breath in my lungs? A death's rattle.

 

I am grave dirt, and sacred spells. I am a ghost, reborn into a false body.

 

I cannot even be sure how much of my own soul remains within me.

 

They wonder why I walk about in the world, clinging to an existence that is not mine. They tell me I am fake.

 

This…hatred, and passion that consumes me…I can feel it. I know it is real. It grows and breathes. It lives within me.

 

Am I fake?
