A Broken Fate by YourDarlingWriter

Revenge

A little in site, before you begin reading. I plan for this story to be a pretty long story, at least I hope it will turn out to be that way. In later chapters there will be lemons and bloody battles. This is set in the Feudal Era Japan, NOT modern day. I will try to keep the characters in place concerning personality. The pairing of Sesshomaru and Kagome does happen, but it will be a tragic story. I really wanted to make something different, every single story with Sesshomaru and Kagome pairing, ends up the same, or fallows the same story line. I wanted to be different, and I hope it ends up the way I'm planning it to end up. I can not promise a story full of roses and joy, but I can promise I will do my best to make this story a really good one. All I ask if that you review at the end, and help me make my mistakes better.

Thanks! By the way...I do not own Inuyasha. Besides who would want to own Inuyasha when they can have Sesshomaru? Yet, I do not even own Sesshomaru! But I do own this story, and my imagination! Yay!

It was the end of winter, and a new batch of fresh snow had just graced the feudal lands of Japan once again. It was still a few weeks until spring, but oddly enough, the Sakura tree's blossomed early. Kagome stood outside of Kaede's hut, looking at the spectacular sight. She was wearing the traditional priestess attire, but her long raven hair was down as always, and her deep blue eyes sparkled with life. She held her bow close to her chest, feeling a light pulse. She could sense the jewel shards nearby. It was the last shard, and it was calling to her. She felt her body continue to pulse softly, and she grasped the Shikon no Tama around her neck.

'Once we get the last shard, I will no longer be needed here...' Kagome thought. Kagome felt warm tears run down her face, and watched as they fell into the cold snow, making the tear glisten like frozen ice. A soft gust of wind came toward her, and she felt a sudden chill. The cold feeling didn't last long, for in a few short seconds, she felt warm arms behind her, shielding her from the cold, pulling her into a tight embrace.

"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered.

"Hai?"

"I sense it."

"You mean the last jewel shard?"

"Hai." Kagome said, more tears running down her face. She spun around and held tightly to Inuyasha, burring her face in his haori, wondering if she would ever feel this strong loving feeling again.

Kikyo stood in the open grace, staring up at the sacred tree, saving its beauty in the fresh winter. The Sakura tree's were blooming around it, some of the blossoms falling onto the fresh snow. Her dark eyes burned with flames of utter joy. She would finally get what she had been waiting for. Her freedom, her soul, and her revenge. She clutched the last jewel shard in her hands, this was the only shard she had kept from Naraku, even after his defeat. Kikyo felt the presence of the Miko and the Shikon no Tama near her. Soon, all her wishes would be complete.

Kagome let Inuyasha wait outside the hut as she went to grab her arrows. She would show no one her tears, not even her best friend Sango. She loved her friends too dearly to let them share her pain, even face the reality that soon, she may be leaving for good. Sango could see the worry and sadness in Kagome's face clearly.

"Kagome, are you alright?" Sango asked, as she saw Kagome grab hold of her arrows.

"Hai, I'm fine Sango. Don't worry about it. I'm just going for some extra practice on my bow with Inuyasha," Kagome lied, not wanting to bring her friends to the last battle. She would have to see them face reality with her. She didn't want that. She would say goodbye to Inuyasha and leave him up to telling her goodbyes to the rest of the group. It was cold, but it would save everybody the pain of parting.

Sango looked at her best friend and nodded before she went to tuck in Shippo and Kohaku with warmer blankets, then she too would sleep.

Kagome exited the warm hut, the feelings taking over her were overwhelming. She hid her feelings with a smile, but inside she was tearing herself up. Inuyasha pulled her closer and helped her climb onto his back. He too knew this might be the last time he would be near her. Kagome suddenly realized where the last jewel shard was located.

"Inuyasha, its at the sacred tree." Kagome whispered.

Inuyasha nodded running faster. He would finally get the last jewel shard, and their quest would be complete. As soon as they reached the tree a very familiar scent of clay and dirt filled Inuyasha's nose.

'Kikyo...' Inuyasha thought, his heart beating rapidly.

Kagome got off Inuyasha's back and held up her arrow, ready for combat. Inuyasha stood there, sniffing the air. He waiting for Kikyo to appear. Kagome quickly felt herself being knocked to the ground, her arrows knocked out of her hands. Kagome laid at the edge of the tree, motionless. Inuyasha saw her and ran to her side.

"Show yourself Kikyo!" Inuyasha shouted.

"As you wish, Inuyasha." a quiet voice replied.

Inuyasha's back turned to the tree and he was now facing Kikyo, his eyes showing both anger and even a longing for her. He was stunned when he saw her point an arrow towards him.

'Naraku must still be alive, controlling her or something,' thought Inuyasha.

"Kikyo, what the hell are you doing?" Inuyasha shouted at her.

Kikyo smiled, a watched as the jewel shard glowed on her arrow. She would aim for Inuyasha knowing Kagome would risk her life for his. Once the shard hit Kagome's body with the arrow her reincarnation would die, leaving a full jewel and her soul. Kikyo summoned her soul steelers to trap Inuyasha against the tree as she saw Kagome open her eyes slightly.

Kagome looked above her and saw Inuyasha in the same position he was when she first laid eyes upon him. Her heart raced and her worst fears were confirmed as her eyes fell upon Kikyo, who was aiming the arrow with an embedded jewel shard at Inuyasha.

"Die Inuyasha," Kikyo said, as she let go of the arrow.

Tears were cascading down her face and a gust of wind was blowing the into the snow as she flung herself over Inuyasha's body, grabbing onto him. The pure arrow hit her body, just at her heart.

"KAGOME!!!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled. "KAGOME!!!!!!!!"

She looked up at him, and gave him a faint smile as her blood soaked into her white shirt and dripped onto the white snow.

"Inuyasha...I'm glad. You will live longer and I'm just a baka human that loves you." Kagome whispered as she closed her eyes. The arrow stuck her body to the tree, and Kikyo's soul steelers let go of Inuyasha. Kikyo watched happily as her soul become whole once more, but before the last piece of the soul was returned a pure light exploded from Kagome's body. Kikyo and Inuyasha watched in awe at the scene before them. Kagome was sealed to the tree, a full Shikon no Tama was around her neck. She was dressed in a pure white and lavender flowing Kimono. Purity radiated her body, her face calm and serene. A glowing barrier was set around her. She was now sealed up, the Shikon no Tama protecting her.

Kikyo walked forward and tried to grab the glowing jewel, knowing she could get passed the barrier. She felt herself fly against a tree and fall into the snow.

"You bitch," Inuyasha spat. His heart was broken, and now all he carried for Kikyo was hate. He could not kill her, but he would hate her.

"Even in death you wish to disturb her?" he spat at her.

"That girl wasn't as stupid as I assumed." Kikyo said as she walked away, she was now of this world, and she had gotten her revenge on Inuyasha.

Inuyasha wanted to pull Kagome into his arms, she had given her own life for his, and he finally felt what true emptiness and sorrow was like. He had no reason to live now, he had no joy in his life. He walked away from the Sacred Tree, vowing he would never come to it again. He would never pull up what happened this evening. He encased his heart in ice, and walked away, alone.

88888888888888888888888888888888

"Where am I?" Kagome thought, out loud as she opened her eyes.

"Ah, so you are awake, little one." A kind voice replied.

"Fate has been very unkind to you, it seems. Your purpose is still unfulfilled."

"Wha...What? My purpose?"

"Hai, little one, your purpose. You were meant to be alive when the jewel was completed. Yet, you risked your life for your love. That certainly altered the outcome of the Human-Youkai war. Your fate was to battle in that war and ultimately bring peace between both races with your purity, kindness, and power."

"Are you saying, I was never meant to live a long happy life? I was never meant to go home and see my family again?"

"Hai, but you can change things as they should have been concerning the war. Other then that you can let your love live a happy life with Kikyo. She will not be born as a Miko and her and Inuyasha will meet and live a happy life together, as it should have been. But to give them happiness, you must sacrifice.

"You mean, we were never meant to be together? All I am is the guardian of that damned jewel. I will never find true love?"

"Hai, weather you find love or not, that is up to you. Now will you sacrifice for his happiness?"

Kagome wanted nothing more then to let Inuyasha be happy, and Kikyo did deserve a good life.

"O.K. But must I sacrifice?"

"Your memories, and your past. Instead of being born again in the future, you will be born in the feudal era. You will be given the duty of the Shikon no Tama, freeing Kikyo and giving her a free life. You will be born into a Northern Royal Family and you will be sent three guardians to watch you and train you. They will always be there for you. They will know of your past and your destiny. But you must never forget, they will always tell you this, your appearance is that of a human, and you have very little human blood running through your veins, but you belong to neither world.

Maybe you will one day find your place, you will forever be the guardian of the Shikon no Tama, and you will battle both worlds, trying to keep the peace. Do you accept this fate?"

Kagome would give anything for Inuyasha's happiness. Even if it meant sacrificing her own.

"Hai, I accept" Kagome said, without hesitating.

"We will meet again, daughter."

"Daughter?"
