Disclaimer: I know what you guys are thinking…Like : Putting Kikyo with Sesshoumaru! Ew! Well…when you look at the coupling…it's actually a pretty great match. Kikyo is better for Sess than Kagome or Kagura would ever be. There are more negatives to the Sess/Kag pairing then positives just so you fans of it know. There are plenty reasons why Kikyo could go with Sesshoumaru. Just try it out. Please no flames. If you wanna see some good reasons…look at the site `Hidden Hearts' - Sesshoumaru/Kikyou. Just give the pair a chance. Thank you! Please Read and Review.

Burned down, Burned on
Prologue

Deep underground, I kept digging a hole
Without knowing where it would lead.
With a dirt-covered eyepiece in one hand,
I search for your arm.

Kikyo felt her vision fading away. Her bright brown eyes glared at the half breed as she shot her arrow and sealed him away. Tears formed in her eyes as she felt her legs buckle and she fell to the ground.

Scraping together patchwork happiness, and sewing it
I was crushed by your strength.

Kikyo felt her sister's warm grasp on her white miko top. “Sister...are you alright?” her sister's voice tried breaking through. Kikyo felt the villager's presence all around her. Kikyo took out a purplish jewel and handed it to her sister, Keade. “Burn this...with my remains...I will not last long...” Kikyo muttered with the last bit of strength.

Burned on, Burned on,
The inerasable scars left by the palms of my hands.
Sever a rift in the red-stained clouds with my torn hands,
See, I can flutter better than you thought.

The hot burning flames licked at Kikyo's body. Though her body was dead, her thoughts still gave in. Her mind racing...betrayal surging through her broken heart...the wound on her shoulder...the still fresh warm blood... `How could he betray me like this? Why?' her mind kept racing.

The eternity that I dreamed while confined in my cocoon
Where will it take seed and blossom?
The morning will eventually come and bring the darkness back home
And steal my eyes away from me.

`One day...I will return, Inuyasha.' her thought seemed to echo. Kikyo's spirit was restless the moment it left her body. `Some day...I'll be back!'

Fumbling for you by moonlight, overlapping and entangling with you,
I believe I could become your true hiding place.

Keade lay broken-hearted in bed. Tears ran down her cheeks as she thought about her dead sister. “Kikyo...” she cried. Kikyo's spirit watched her sister. Kikyo was ever more sad...she couldn't even cry.

Burned down, Burned down,
The place of our promise that will never return.
Run across the black-stained earth with a torn-off agony
See, I can flutter better than you thought.

Keade tossed and turned. Kikyo knelt down and placed a gentle hand on her sister. To Kikyo's surprise, she settled down a bit...and...smiled. Kikyo was in awe at this and smiled back. Kikyo seemed to vanish after that. Leaving this Earth. Waiting...and waiting...forever.

If you can't hear me, even though I scream,
I want you to destroy me with your own hands
While you can still hold me dear.

“I'll wait...forever.” Kikyo's voice echoed once more throughout the fields of soft grass blowing in the mid-summer's wind. Animals turned and ran at the sight of movement, and straw seemed to whistle in the gentle breeze. The sun shot up over the mountain...giving a red, warm presence, and shone brightly as Kikyo's eyes once did.

Your arms that hold me back
Turn into a gentle dust.
I simply stare at the sky, silently.

The village was morose and sad that sad night. The streams of light streamed through the trees lighting Inuyasha's face. The arrow still freshly pierced through his heart.

Burned on, Burned on
The inerasable scars left by the palms of my hands
Sever a rift in the red stained clouds with my torn hands

Burned down, Burned down,
The place of our promise that will never return.
See, I can flutter better than you thought.
