Kichirou knelt weakly on the ground watching Urasue burn. She had dragged him back from hell, a place he had no desire whatsoever to leave. Forced to return to the living and face the pain he had endured before death.

InuYuki stared at Kichirou quietly her amber eyes wide with disbelief. So Kichirou wasn't under her control? Then again with how strong he had been in his past life, it seemed unlikely it would have worked to begin with.

The body of the demon lay on the ground burning with a blue spiritual flame. The light illuminating Kichirou's pale face and silky black hair. Though his expression was unreadable, he was still as handsome as she remembered.

"InuYuki…" Kichirou said quietly. He couldn't believe what he was seeing before him. This could not be real. He had sealed her to the sacred tree himself with one of his own arrows. Nobody but himself could remove that arrow. There was no living priest or priestess with his level of power. So InuYuki should still be where he left her 50 years ago.

"Why are you still alive InuYuki? I bound you to a tree with a sacred arrow" he questioned impatiently. With what little strength he had in his body after being attacked by her, he made sure to use his most powerful spell on the arrow.

He had hoped she would stay locked away there forever. So, nobody else could be hurt the same way he had. She wouldn't be able to harm the villagers or be lied and taken advantage of like he was.

InuYuki moved away from him defensively keeping her distance. She could already sense the tension in the air and the tone of anger in his voice. But he wasn't exactly innocent himself either. She smirked in a taunting manner "Yeah I recall. I spent 50 years pinned to that damn tree! But as you can see I'm still alive and kicking; I can still take you on no problem" she taunted.

She would make him pay for hurting her like that. For making her take down her walls that she had spent her whole life building up. For making her trust a human like that. Why had she believed he would be any different than the others. Treating her like she was nothing. Like an outcast and betraying her just when she had become comfortable.

The wounds in her heart were still fresh even though it had been many years. The sharp sting of her anger and hatred of his betrayal burning in her heart and mind.

Slowly Kichirou raised his head glaring at her. How could he have allowed himself to fall for her? He had been a fool to think she would be anything other than a demon. His eyes filled with the hatred building inside of him since death.

Pain filling his brown orbs and heart as he recalled the painful way he was stabbed in the back by the person he had once loved. How could he have ever believed she was capable of being a good person. That she was nothing more than a demon; using and manipulating humans to their will.

"You vile creature….". He started to get to his feet weakly, strands of his black hair tumbling over his shoulders. His body screaming in pain as he got to his feet, though dead he still felt pain. With what little strength he could muster, Kichirou started to approach his former lover now turned bitter enemy. "I despise you. You loathsome half girl" he growled.

She was the same as all demons and over her years of life, no doubt perfected how to manipulate the weak. That was why it had been so easy for her to take advantage of him. Suddenly his shoulder began to glow red and pain shot through his body.

The same pain he had felt that day upon going to meet her in hopes of making her human. He felt the wound go deep into his counterfeit body. A replica of the one he had received that day but no doubt unreal, for he had no blood left in his body anymore.

InuYasha got into fighting stance as she watched Kichirou weaken. She would not allow him to hurt her all over again. She had learned her lesson from the first time. Fool her once shame on him. Fool her twice shame on her. She had never followed her gut instinct and just stolen the jewel.

Instead she lost herself to her foolish beliefs and it had only gotten her hurt. "Got a problem Kichirou?" InuYuki taunted. Wasn't he trying to kill her again? What was holding him back? He had no idea how much he had hurt her when he stabbed her in the back.

Kichirou gripped his shoulder tightly as the pain and red glow eased from his shoulder. His white priest robe stained red with the blood of the wound she had inflicted that day. Slowly he pulled his hand away to see blood. The same blood caused by the wound InuYuki had inflicted on him.

Tears filled his eyes as he remembered that day as if it was yesterday. He looked at his pale hand covered in blood. The rest of the wound now growing bigger and staining his robe. Starting to trickle down his arm and spill onto the ground in a growing puddle.

He shot his glare back into the eyes of the hanyou female standing before him. Anger evident on his face as he felt the pain rushing through his body. "WHY DID YOU BETRAY ME, INUYUKI?!" he growled angrily. Why had she been so kind and sweet to him, only to turn cold and wound him then steal the Shikon jewel for herself.

InuYuki felt panic fill her body as she looked upon the red liquid pooling on the ground. That was blood without a doubt, she knew that scent anywhere. But how the hell had he received it? That day she never recalled smelling any blood on him, nor did she recall whatsoever that he had been injured in any way.

She turned to Kaede defensively "What the hell is going on? Where is all that blood coming from?" she asked worriedly. God, it was so strong and there was so much of it.

Kaede turned to the young hanyou sternly "Look closely InuYuki. Is that not ye fatal wound that ye inflicted on Kichirou" he explained. He had been there by his brothers side when he died of blood loss.

InuYuki's eyes hardened and she glared at Kaede. Was he seriously against her too? But she was innocent! She had never once inflicted any sort of wound on Kichirou while they were together. "I inflicted?! What the hell are you talking about old man?! That I'm the one who killed Kichirou?!" she growled angrily.

Were they all against her? Did they all believe she was the traitor? She turned her gaze back the injured priest before her. His eyes were still pinned at her and the blood was still pooling down and rippling on the ground. God, the smell was making her sick.

Kaede nodded sternly "Indeed. It was your wound that sealed my brothers fate and ensured his demise" he explained sternly. Why had he gone out alone without a bow and arrow?

InuYuki felt panic well up inside of her. Never in her life had she dreamed or desired to do any form of harm to Kichirou. He had been so precious to her it seemed insane to think such a thing. "There must be some mistake! I never killed him; I don't even remember wounding him!" She said defensively. She had been alive nearly 200 years and still remembered her time with him.

But in all that time apart from the day he betrayed her, not once had she recalled harming him. She would have been able to smell his blood on her hands. No, even if he hurt her, she would never do him harm.

Kaede's reflection appeared in the blood puddle. His from rippling in the blood as more drops spilled from his brother onto the ever-growing red pool on the ground. "Can you be certain? These wounds were not inflicted by ye? Think hard, try to remember!" he begged desperately. If InuYuki had not injured his brother then who the hell had it been?

InuYuki was many things, rude, impatient, stubborn and secretive. But she was certainly not a bad person. He knew this as she had saved his life once before as a child. "If…if not you…" he said anxiously turning to face his Kichirou with a confused look "Then who slew my brother?". This was certainly an unusual form of events indeed.

Kichirou slumped weakly. Was she really trying to deny her crimes? She may have fooled this priest but she did not fool him. He knew what kind of woman she was. He knew her inside and out. He had seen her true colours. If only he had destroyed her when he had the chance instead of letting her live.

"You are even more wicked than I believed you to be. Creating such poor lies, it is most unflattering InuYuki. Stop it" he demanded angrily. Trying to feign innocence despite he himself being a witness to her crimes? His injury was proof of her guilt and manipulation to steal the Shikon jewel for herself.

He sighed wearily which he instantly regretted. Pain shot through his body causing him to wince and whimper in the pain from the severe wound on his shoulder. The pain was still as severe as it had been that day he went to meet her. But the pain of the wound was nothing compared to the pain of her betrayal in his heart.

The pain of being betrayed by someone who was seemingly precious to him was far more painful. Knowing he had trusted her only to have his heart broken was a far worse feeling. He straightened himself a little his black hair tumbling over his shoulders. The blood of his shoulder being run through some of the strands. But he didn't care.

His brown eyes returned to hers his eyes mocking her and a wicked smile spreading across his face. He would never forgive her for what she had done to him. "InuYuki, do you recall when you told me you wished to become a human woman?" he asked patiently. Knowing he meant so much to her that she would gladly give up her demon blood to become mortal.

That day had been the happiest of his life. To have someone he would give his life to and love. Being her fated mate for the rest of their lives brought him nothing but joy. But now all their dreams had become dust and they had been nothing but lies. But at the time they had made him truly happy inside to hear them.

Kaede stared in disbelief at the two. This could not be so, InuYuki had made it clear what she sought the Shikon jewel for and it was not to become a human. "Impossible. She wishes to become a pure-blooded demon and nothing more" he replied adamantly. Such words could not be true!

Kichirou ignored the priests babbles and continued to speak of his memories. The ones he had carried in his heart these past 50 years since his demise. "You said you would become human".

The two gazed into the dark orbs of the fallen priest. His eyes bitter and filled with pain and hatred of reminiscing of his past with the hanyou female. "I believed your words. That day I carried the Shikon Jewel on my person and went to meet you. To our meeting place at the sacred tree" he said sternly.
