Prologue: The Hurt Is Formed

Kagome laid on her bed, her head hidden in her pillow, wallowing in sadness. "Why Inuyasha? Why?" she thought. Having just been called Kikyo in the middle of being hugged by him was the most painful thing that had ever happened to her. "It's obvious, I mean, he met her before he met me, the first person he trusted, the first he loved." Thinking this only further depressed her. "He's probably thought of me as being Kikyo from the beginning. I've been nothing more than his replacement for her." This thought froze her. The very thought of him always seeing her as Kikyo made her feel sick. "I should just seal the well and forget he ever existed. That way I could try to fix my normal life without always having to go back. But there are still the shards that I have to collect. It is my fault there spread about Japan like they are, so I can't just leave without finishing that. What am I supposed to do?" She lay there, thinking of what to do, knowing she would be unable to face the demons without help. This brought about an idea.

"Wait. Why does it have to be Inuyasha that has to help? There are others who would help whom are just as powerful as Inuyasha, if given the right price." She almost immediately thought of someone. " What does Inuyasha have that he probably loves more than the Shikon Shards. And who would do anything for that item." A bitter smirk developed on her face as she sat up, thinking further on this line of thought. " What better way to not only get the shards together so I can stay home, but also stomp on Inuyasha's heart like he did mine." As she thought this, something came to her that immediately shot the idea out of the sky. "But doing this would make me like the people I hate, Naraku and the others like him, always stabbing people in the back, never being kind to anyone. " Mad at herself for thinking of such things, she laid back down to come up with a new idea.

Unable to think of any, she started to reason with herself. "I don't have to love him. I mean, we can still be friends, and if in the end, if it works out that way we can be together. All I have to do is act as if nothing happened and things will get back to normal. Then, when we're done, If he still sees me as Kikyo, I'll seal the well, and we'll walk are different paths. That will be that." Happy with this decision, she laid down to sleep for the night.
