InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Feudal Fairytale Ficlets ❯ Framed ( Chapter 36 )

A/N: Ah, Kikyou, Kikyou. The zombie with a heart of…um, something. From the beginning, and I mean her very first appearance, Kikyou has always had her own agenda. Protect the jewel. Protect her own heart. Protect her pride. Protect her soul. She doesn't hang out with Inuyasha, because she has her own ideas on how to bring Naraku down, and he would only cramp her style. In a way, she's like Sesshomaru: self-centered. She travels alone because she believes she alone can bring down the bad guy and save the day. Pity anyone who should stand in her way. But that has seemed to change in the manga. Now she's trouncing around with Kohaku. It seems only fitting; they are their own UnDead Plot-devices Society.

 

Witty Disclaimer: We don't own Inuyasha; however we are capable of stealing hairs and making Shikigami counterparts, complete with fun-noodle swords.

 

 

Framed

 

It wasn't what he'd expected.

 

That long journey through the mountains he'd dared to think—dared to hope.

 

After all, he was the one who'd gotten sealed. If he wanted—if he looked into her eyes and saw—something—then he could forgive, couldn't he?

 

She must have had a reason.

 

But when she stood there, pale and defiant, bleeding her life's blood before his eyes, and when she glared at him and screamed—

 

Why did you betray me?

 

It was as though a dark chasm had opened up before his feet and he had blundered helplessly into unending darkness.
