Disclaimer: Its at the first chapter, but I shall humor you. I don't own Inuyasha, because if I did Sesshoumaru and Kikyou would be an official couple.

Gift Of Humanity

Chapter 8: A wish granted, the final chapter.

The sunlight streaming in through the windows highlighted two figures sharing a mat. (I don't know what the name is for the beds they used back then.) One was sleeping and the other was awake. Slowly twisting his fingers in the sleeping girls hair. His black eyes staring up at the ceiling as he had been doing all night. Through he wasn't tired, he was never tired...after all, demons don't need rest.

It didn't work.

It just plain didn't work.

He was still part of Demis, and Demis was still a part of him. He could feel himself slipping away...

Closing his eyes for a minute, Kyle tried to remember last night. Tried to have something to hold on to. Something nice...some pretty memory from being here with Kikyou, or from his earlier days. When his family didn't fight so much, when they were still a family. Not when the yelling started or the hitting and the nasty words at each other. When they didn't point fingers at one another and just lived there happy lives as a family, not there miserable lives as just strangers living together.

But besides being in the past where he was now...he couldn't think of one damn thing.

Not one damn thing...was his past life that horrible! Was all they really did was fight! When did it begin? When his mother caught his father cheating? Or was it when mother started loving one of her friends and not his father because he was never home, never there for the two of them.

Or was is when he couldn't take any of there lies anymore and screamed at the both of them to look at each other and see how they aged.

"Your not getting any older!," he screamed at them.,"I'm sick and tired of being caught in the middle of your fights! I'm leaving, and I'm never coming back! You can deal with each other without me, because if your not fighting over me, your fighting over silly things like the trash or the house or each other! Just leave me out of it!"

And he did leave, and he never came back. His twisted wish to leave had came true, and now he was where he was. And just like in fairy tales he had met the villan, got a curse, met a witch that helped him out, and met a fair lady and turned her back into a human.

Now all was left was to break the curse then they would ride off into the sunset and have a happy ending.

Right?

Blinking awake, Kikyou looked up at Kyle's face to see him thinking about something. Probably the fact that he was still turning into a demon. It didn't bother her though, demon or not...she had a plan. Sure she loved being human but if the occasion called for it...

She would just as easily kill herself and him just to be together. It may not be the best plan, or the brightest, but if they can't find a way to change him back into a human today, then it might be too late.

Kikyou sighed and started running her fingers through his hair to calm him down. He always was worrying about something. He should stop or he will turn into a male version of herself.

"Hey, since when do you mess with my hair?"asked Kyle with a smile as he turned to look at her.

"Since last night. Now why didn't you wake me up? I would have liked to wake up before the others and taken a walk in the early morning."said Kikyou as she smiled back.

"Sorry love, I guess I just forgot."he said by yawning. Kikyou smiled and got closer to him, and slipped her hand into the one he wasn't using to run through her hair. She laced their fingers together and sighed. The moment was just purely perfect.

Well it was until something ruined it.

"INUYAHSA, SIT!"

"OW, why the hell did you do that?! I was just trying to tell you I-well you know the damn word girl!"

Kikyou laughed and shookher head, same old Inuyasha. Kyle sat up and Kikyou sat up with him, they both laughed and walked outside.

"SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!"said Kagome over and over again. She was a bit red in the face from yelling so much and from what Inuyasha had tried to do. A small crowd had gathered around Keade's hut and was watching what was going on. Kikyou and Kyle pushed through the crowd to see the hole that Inuyasha was in from being sitted so much.

"Dammit, Kagome! All I did was try to kiss you!"

"Thats not how you show someone you love them! Ever heard of ask first!? Aggh, never mind SIT!"yelled Kagome at him by she walked away and Inuyasha fell head first towards the ground. The crowd laughed and Kikyou kneeled down besides Inuyasha to see if he was alright...and laugh in his face.

"Are you alright Inuyasha...Ha ha ha...It seems like you still aren't lucky with the ladies."said Kikyou by laughing. Inuyasha picked his head up from the dirt and glared at her.

"Well its not my fault she takes things the wrong way! All I wanted to do was show how much I-well you know the word I'm talking about!"yelled Inuyasha as he sat up in the dirt and looked to his right, away from Kikyou's laughing face.

"Have you tryed flowers? Or candy? Women love that, or maybe for once you should just tell her how you feel. And use the word "love" this time. That way you won't scare her off by trying to kiss her."said Kyle as he put a hand on his shoulder.

"Feh, fine I'll tell her I-I...luv her. And maybe get her some damn flowers, even if I hate the damn things."said Inuyasha as he stood up and dusted himself off.

"God doggy, your finally learning."said Kikyou as she stood up and laughed at him again.

"Grrrr, if I didn't love you I would probably tell you to shut up."Inuyasha said as he turned around to look at her. Kikyou just leaned forward and put her hands on her hips by grinning in his face.

"And if I didn't love you, you would be dog food. Now hurry up Romeo or she'll leave the town without you." Kikyou said then smiled as she watched him run off. Turning to Kyle she saw him digging a hole in the dirt with his shoe, walking up to him she looked up into his face and smiled.

"Whats wrong? You know I love you more then him, he's just a friend. A odd friend, but a friend none the less."

"Yeah, I know that, but...,"said Kyle.,"Could you make me something to eat? I'm hungry." Kikyou blinked for a second, since she was stunned at what he said. She wanted him to say something like "I love you". Not "I'm hungry." Kikyou then smiled again then kissed him on the nose.

"Sure, before you die from hunger."

In a dark castle far away...

Well not that far actually but...oh forget it, in a dark castle that belongs to the owner of over half the shikon jewel. Naraku stared out his window. By his servants waited for orders...

'Kikyou...heh, I wouldn't have expected that she would met up with my experiment. That boy, he's already turning into his true form. It will be interesting watching him turn in to his final form and destroy Kikyou and Kagome, with them and the rest of that group of troublemakers. With them out of the way, I can finally have the complete Shikon no tama.'thought Naraku to himself as he turned to look at Kanna's mirror. In it is showed Kyle and Kikyou looking up at the sky by sitting outside on a hill and eatting lunch, then it showed Inuyasha getting sat by Kagome because he gave her poison ivy instead of flowers, then it showed Miroku getting slapped by Sango for touching her butt for the 498 time, then it showed Shippo and Keade taking a nap, and finally after that the half of the Shikon no tama that Inuyasha and the others had.

Naraku smiled as it showed another picture. This time one of the cursed sword that he had deliberately left Kyle to find.

"Once again priestess, love shall be your downfall."

Night...

Well night in the village where Kikyou, Kyle, Inuyasha, and the rest are at.

"Has anyone seen Kagome?"asked Inuyasha as he stepped into Keade's hut. He had been looking for her ever since he got sat and she ran off because he gave her poison ivy instead of flowers. Even though he still thought that he didn't deserve to be sat, they were growing along besides flowers, how was he suppose to know? Now he had a rash...

Kyle stood up from the corner he was sitting in and started heading toward the door. Looking over his shoulder at Inuyasha he said: "I haven't seen Kikyou either." She had left him a little while after they had lunch.

Shippo looked up from the picture book that Kagome had gave him. "Maybe you should try the God tree." (Help, I don't know what that tree's called!)

"Yes we'll try there then, come on Inuyasha."Kyle said as he stepped out into the night, dragging Inuyasha with him.

Upon finally reaching the God tree (Tree's name please?), they found that no one was there. Turning around to go back, two figures jumped from the shadows.

"Alright you two, if your really are our boyfriends...you'll be able to tell us which is which!"said both Kagome and Kikyou at the same time. In the dim light of the moon, Kyle and Inuyasha could see that they had switch clothes.

"What!?"yelled Inuyasha as he looked at both of them. With there hair combed out so they both looked the same, and them talking at the same time, it was too hard to tell which was which just by looking at them.

Kyle blinked then tried to squint in the darkness, it seemed like they had used something to throw off there scent, since even Inuyasha was confused.

Inuyasha looked down at, the one that looked like Kagome, chest. Both of them said the word sit, and he went face first in the dirt.

"That would be cheating, plus were both the same breast size, well I think we are anyway but thats besides the point. The point is, is that the Shikon fragments are left in a safe reliable place."

Growling Inuyasha got up from the ground and back on his feet. "I bet Shippo has them doesn't he? And why again are we doing this?"

Kyle shaked his head and looked back up at the two ladies in front of him. "Its a test Inuyasha, I guess we have to be worthy or something in order to earn you girls, isn't it?"

"Your almost right,"they both said.,"were doing this to see if you can tell us apart, to see if you know the differences between us."

Stepping forward, Kyle looked at the one on the right, the one in Kagome's clothes. Gently grabbing her chin he brought her lips up to meet his.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"yelled Inuyasha at Kyle, he was on the verge of slicing him in half. The one dressed as Kikyou laughed and embraced Inuyasha. Kyle pulled away from the Kagome look alike and ruffled her hair a little.

"Okay your turn Inuyasha, who am I?"asked the Kikyou look alike. Not waiting for his answer, she through her arms around him and kissed him on the lips, Inuyasha pulled away and bopped Kyle upside his head.

"Next time wait until we ask questions first to start kissing!"he yelled at him by Kyle held his head in pain. Kikyou, who was dressed as Kagome, laughed while Kagome started getting mad.

"Inuyasha..."she said by turning her head around to look at him. (Think The Exorcist.)

"Yes...Kagome..."Inuyasha said by look back at her.

"SIT!"

Inuyasha fell forward into the dirt again, while Kyle and Kikyou started laughing. When Inuyasha picked his head up from the ground, Kagome yelled at him again.

"You couldn't even tell who I was, could you?! I can't believe this! The only thing keeping me from sitting you to hell is that we came here with a reason besides this!"

When Kagome was finished yelling at him and Inuyasha wasn't in pain, Kikyou put her white ribbon back in her hair and started telling them the real reason while they were there. "We can't just sit here forever. Kyle is still turning into Demis...and Naraku still has half of the Shikon no tama."

"Wait,"said Inuyasha.,"whats his story, and tell me the WHOLE story this time."

After a long and boring retelling of the events in that happened to Kyle...

"Now you see the point of this? We have to work together, were all being used by Naraku."said Kagome.

"Have you already told the others about me?"asked Kyle. Kikyou shook her head no.

"We'll tell them before we leave to fight Naraku, we wanted to tell you two first, since most likely you two are the ones that can stand up to Naraku other then me and Kagome."said Kikyou.

"Well you got that right, now all we need to know is where he is."said Inuyasha. Kagome smiled and turned to him.

"We already know where he is, I can see Shikon shards, remember?"she said by Kikyou nodded.

"And I can sense Naraku, his growing power should be easy to sense. Through he may try to shield it from my senses, but I can easily brake through any spell he might try to put on himself."said Kikyou as she leaned against the god tree and tried to make Kagome's short skirt longer.

"Then its settled then.,"said Kyle as he took out his sword to look at the golden handle and inscriptions on it."We'll go find Naraku and finally kill him, maybe then this curse shall be lifted..."

And so the band of our story's heroes set out to defeat Naraku, in the name of good, in the name of the horrible scars of the past that Naraku had left, in the name of a ancient curse, in the name of-

"Food!"yelled Shippo from his perch on Kagome's shoulder. He jumped down in a rush and grabbed the bag of chips from Kyle's hand.

"I don't know if you should eat that..."he said as he watched the little fox demon wolf it down.

Shippo ate the whole bag, then looked up at Kyle by he started hopping around waving a hand over his burning mouth.

"What did you give him Kyle?"asked Sango. Kyle turned to her and said:

"Hot Cheetos, there a brand of chips. I wanted to tell them that they might be a little hot. That and I had them in my bag for over a month now, so they might have been a little stale.

Shippo jumped up and grabbed Miroku's water out of his hand. After gulping it down he laid down in the dirt with stars in his eyes.

Kagome picked up Shippo and carried him in her arms. After another mile of walking, Kikyou held up a hand.

"Here we are, Naraku's castle, take a look. Kagome, is he there, can you sense any Shikon shards?"asked Kikyou as she looked over her shoulder to look at the young girl.

"I can see them. And they're close by..."she said by looking at the castle that loomed in front of them.

"Alright,"said Inuyasha by smiling a evil grin.,"lets get this over with and head for the castle."

"Wait, it would be foolish to just go ahead and head for the castle, we should go and check the surrounding grounds and stay in the cover of the forest. Most likely Naraku has a trap."said Kyle as he took a step forward and put a hand on Kikyou's shoulder by looking up at the castle.

(Now finally the action part, and no they aren't going to fight in Naraku's stupid castle, because we all know that the bad guys base always falls apart after you beat them. And I want the characters to die another way...not like they are going to die! Well...actually...just read!)

After walking around the castle grounds for awhile, they finally came to a clearing. Looking around, they could see nothing special, until...

"I can sense it! The jewel shards that Naraku has!"exclaimed Kagome. Everyone took out there weapons and waited. Miroku looked up at the sky to see Naraku's poisonous bee/hornet like insects.

"Welcome, I hadn't expected you back so soon, experiment 003."said a voice from the shadows.

Kyle frowned and then yelled out into the shadows. "I'm not your experiment! Show yourself Naraku!" Kikyou closed her eyes and tried to figure out where he was, letting go of the arrow notched in her bow, she hit her target. Naraku stepped out from the shadows with Kikyou's arrow in between two of his fingers. Laughing, he snapped it and stepped toward her, until Kyle got in front of him. Growling he said between clenched teeth. "Do you know how long I've waited for this moment? I can't wait to slice you in half, just to know what it feels like to finally be inflecting pain upon my torturer. I'll cherish this moment."

Naraku smiled, (If you can even see his smile, since he wears that ugly baboon pelt.), and jumped back. "Well then, I wouldn't want to keep you waiting, come!"

Inuyasha dodged one of Naraku's tentacles, and picked up Shippo from where he was standing before he could be sliced into shreds. He through him on top of the highest branch of a tree so he wouldn't get in the way. Miroku cut in half several of Naraku's tentacles that were going towards Sango. She quickly thanked him and destroyed some that were going after him.

Meanwhile, Kikyou and Kagome were trying not to get stabbed while trying to power up their arrows to hit Naraku. Their plan was to use both of their combined power to destory him and purefiy the jewel in one shot.

Kagome took another arrow out of her quiver and looked to Kikyou. She seemed like she was doing okay, but ever half minute she would look over to Kyle. Kagome guessed correctly that what Naraku said about him being an "experiment" was getting to her, could he have lied about where he came from?

Kikyou wasn't really thinking right now at the moment, and she wasn't worried about what Naraku said. "Experiment" or not, she had waited too long to feel this kind of love that she had for him, she wasn't going to fall for Naraku's illusions again. A sudden rumble of the ground underneath their feet sent both Kikyou and Kagome almost to the ground. Ten or thirteen of Naraku's tentacles, almost hit the both of them. Sango's boomerang cut some of them in half, and Inuyasha picked both of them up and put them back onto stable ground.

"Was he aiming at us!?"asked Kagome with wide eyes from almost being cut in half. Kikyou put on a grim face and nodded.

"He knows our plan. Remember, your arrows power has the power to cut him in half, and so does mine. That's why he's always been trying to find a way to destroy the both of us. We have to end this now!"said Kikyou by standing up and trying to power up her arrow again. Kagome did the same by Inuyasha acted like a bodyguard/shield and deflected any of Naraku's weapons that came there way.

Meanwhile...

'This is getting no where, he's blocking every single attack of mine!'thought Kyle as he tried another unsuccessful attempt to slice Naraku in half. "

"Of course your getting no where! I taught you every attack you know, 003."exclaimed Naraku as he slashed Kyle across the chest with a hidden sword. Kyle jumped back and looked down at the damage he had done. Besides a torn shirt, he was fine. But the attack had came close to his throat, if he had jumped forward instead of back...

"Cheater!"he yelled at him as he charged at him again, and this time managed to cut his baboon pelt in half, exposing Naraku's true face.

"All's fair in love and war, besides your not fighting with your all 003."said Naraku as he came behind Kyle and tryed to cut off his head. Luckly, he ducked.

"Don't call me that! I'm not your plaything any longer! I never was to begin with, you can't mess with peoples lives like there dolls! I've had enough!" Jumping forward, Kyle managed to cut off Naraku's left arm, it quickly regenerated and Naraku laughed. Naraku rushed toward him and Kyle barely managed to dodge his sword, what he didn't count on was that he would have two of them. The other one was stabbed through his stomach, which was left open from blocking the first sword. (He's fighting dirty! He really is a cheater!)

Gripping his stomach he kneeled on the ground, trying vainly to stop the flow of blood coming out of his damaged stomach. Naraku laughed, he was about to cut off Kyle's head with the both of his swords, until a arrow knocked the swords out of his hands and destroyed them.

"That's enough Naraku, I knew you were a coward, but I wouldn't think you would hit someone by they were down!"said Kikyou as she ran over towards Kyle and stood in front of him. She wasn't about to let him die.

"And so the once dead priestess stands in my way once again, there was a time when you were helping me."sneered Naraku, Kikyou held her ground and notched another arrow in her bow.

"That time has long pasted, and I never helped you. I was using you, seeing how far you could get, as they say: kill two birds with one stone." Kikyou released her arrow and it hit Naraku in the chest, he flew back a few feet, but then stood up and laughed.

"And just like a bird, I think your death would be fitting if you were crushed to death!"Naraku yelled at her as one of His tentacles flew out and wrapped around her. Pulling her off her feet and high into the ground it wrapped tighter around her, a sicking crunch of breaking bones were heard as Kikyou went limp. Naraku released her and let her body fall to the ground, Kyle watched as it slowly fell until it landed a few feet in front of him.

"No..."he whispered out. It was impossible wasn't it? He had tried so hard to make her human, traveled a hundred miles, finally completed the spell, and now, just now, said how he felt. She couldn't be dead could she? The world started getting fuzzy and he realized he was looking through his tears. Looking down at his wounded self, he could barely feel the pain...

"Kikyou..."he managed to get out before he fell forward in a puddle of his own blood. Just a few feet from Kikyou's body.

"NO!"said Kagome as she shrank to her knees on the ground. The plan was blown, there was now no way they could defeat him. Inuyasha put a hand on her shoulder as she cried. Kikyou was dead again, and once again, he felt responsible. He could have stopped her from running away. Miroku and Sango didn't say anything, as they could barely stand, they were leaning on each other for support.

"And so they fall, well I guess you were a failure after all. Well, if you fail, try, try, try again. I'm sure I can find another person in this world to resurrect the dragon god."said Naraku with a sinister smile as he stepped over Kikyou's body and stood in front of Kyle's. Leaning down, he picked up Kyle's head roughly by his hair, he peered into his face and sneered.

"You always were a failure, I was a fool to believe that you really would resurrect Demis. But I guess I should have waited on killing you, I wanted to make sure you were in agony and begged for your death. Oh well, I guess I can still have fun." Naraku turned his right arm into a steal blade. And was about to stab Kyle in the face when something surprising happened.

Kyle-or what he had become-opened his eyes and grabbed Naraku's right arm, which was about to stab him, with his now clawed hand. His eyes were now a mixture of blue and red, which made it into a swirl of violet with some speaks of black, blue, and red.

"Demis does not beg."he said as he slowly stood up. His voice sounded like two people were talking, one was Kyle and the other voice was Demis. After dark light surrounded him, after it was gone, he was dressed in solid white and black with a dark wing and a solid white wing coming out of his back. He looked back at his wings and flapped them once to make sure they still worked. Looking back at Naraku's stunned face, he smiled a smile evil smile then crushed his arm. "Lets play."

Demis picked up his sword again and it started to glow with a strange dark light. He released Naraku and he smiled. Even at the end, Naraku was still an overly comfident basterd. Naraku tried to attack him but Demis just jumped into the air and floated above his head. Flapping his wings again, he stretched and yawned.

"Stop mocking me! I'm the one that resurrected you! Your suppose to grant my wish!"yelled Naraku at him as he watched Demis cross his legs and sit in mid air. He then put on a mocking smile on his face and shoke his head.

"I'm sorry, but you weren't the one that resurrected me. You may have helped me get my sword and provided the stage. But you're just a prop. And as for the wish...I'm not a genie, I only have one wish, and it has already been used."

"What the hell is going on!?"asked Inuyasha. Miroku and Sango moved to stand next to him. Miroku looked up at Demis then turned to look at Inuyasha and explain.

"I'm surprised I didn't see it before. There was a old legend that a cursed sword existed with the spirit of "The dragon of the skies", Demis. He was a god a long time ago, but it seemed that he did something horrible, a terrible sin. He destroyed half of this land and cursed the heavens. For those acts, he was destroyed and his spirit trapped forever in a sword of unlimited power, anyone who obtained the sword would be possessed by his spirit. The only way to free ones self was too do a equal number of good to equal the number of evil that Demis did. Another part was that, once the dragon god was resurrected and he possessed all of the host, he would grant a wish to a person that he sees worthy. But in order to get your wish granted, you had to give him something in return, like your life or you kill the hosts body and then ask for your wish to be granted. After all, if the host-" Inuyasha inturupted Miroku.

"If the host dies, then Demis takes control of his body...so why isn't Naraku getting his wish?" Miroku shrugged his shoulders. Who knows, dealing with demons was hard enough, but dealing with a demon god? Now that was harder.

"Well thanks for the history lesson.,"said Demis as he looked down on Inuyasha and his group.,"But the fact remains, I can not grant your wish. Someone has already wished."

Naraku growled and then shouted up at him: "Who?" Demis smiled and pointed at the dead body of Kikyou. Everyone seemed shocked by the answer but Demis just smiled. Lifting up his hand, a violet ball of light appeared in his hand. It grew and expanded untill it was the size of a large globe. A picture appeared in it, one of Kikyou and Kyle talking near the god tree.

After the plan had been explained, Inuyasha and Kagome left, Kyle was leaveing too, until Kikyou stopped him. Reaching out a hand, she grasped his. Startled he turned around to look at her. Kikyou had he head down, so her bangs fell in front of her face and hide her expression from view.

"Kikyou...is somet-"he started untill Kikyou cut him off. Looking up she looked deep into his eyes, her sorrowful look stopped him from saying anything.

"Kyle...your slowly slipping away from me, I can feel it. You already know so much about me, I want to stay with you and learn more about you. Learn more about liveing, by were still alive."

"Kikyou, were not going to die, I promise you that." Kikyou shoke her head, and looked back up at his face. Tears started forming in her eyes and started slipping down her cheeks.

"I'm not a strong as you would let me believe, I have to be honest with you, I had planed that if you turned into Demis...that I would kill the both of us. But I don't think I can go through it, I...love you too much to just take you with me to some distant land of the dead." said Kikyou. She put a hand to her face and wiped away her tears, then continued. "If I die, no don't make that face, I know what your going to say, but anything can happen. If I die...my wish is for you to avenge my death and the deaths that have been caused by the Shikon no tama. I'll give you my life if that can even be accomplished, I just wish for the suffering to end. If I die, I wish for you to continue with the plan, kill Naraku and have the Shikon jewel purified and become no longer a threat. I shall see you again..." With that said, Kikyou let go of his hand and walked away.

The ball of energy in Demis's hand disappeared.

"What, I can't believe it! Her wish was for you to kill me and have the jewel pureifyed!"exclamied Naraku. He looked like he was about to explode upon hearing the news.

Inuyasha grinned then yelled at him. "Well believe it, it seems like you won't die by my hand, but I have no complaints! I hope your journey to hell is a painful one!"

"Of course it will be, I'm sorry, but I don' t give out peaceful deaths. Besides, I got a joint wish to fulfill."said Demis as he slowly stood up in the air and pointed his sword to the sun. The light of the sun reflected off it and he smiled, looking back at Naraku, he answered his question before he could even ask. "Kyle had wished for something also, and I just couldn't refuse his life. After all, the trade was, his life for this body. So now that I exist again, I'll destroy you and paint the forest red with your blood."

"I can't believe it! Done in by that experiment and that dead bitch!"yelled Naraku. He looked like he was about to tear out his hair. Demis smiled and looked down at him, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them they were blue. In Kyle's voice he said.

"If I'm to die, I want one last wish fulfilled. Take my life in exchange for my body, just grant my wish. I want you to destroy the bastard that has killed and destroyed all I stand for and love. And make sure to make it extra painful for him and escort his soul to hell, after all, he only deserves the best."Demis said in Kyle's voice, his eyes turned back to the violet color of before and he landed back on the ground. With another flap of his wings he held his sword out in front of him. He closed his eyes as a dark light surrounded him, it swirled around him untill it took the shape of a black dragon. Opening his eyes, they turned solid red. Grinning he shouted out a spell.

"I call upon the spirits of the great beyond! Grant me your power, give me the evil energy of the ancients! Cast this unworthy soul into darkness...SKY DRAGON OF DESTRUCTION!" After saying the finall words in the spell, the dragon surrounding him surrounded his sword and in a burst of light and power shot towards Naraku.

(Flashback)

"Don't worry, I'll grant your wish." said Kyle as he turned to look back at Kikyou walking away. A slight wind blew there hair and clothes around, the leaves around them swirled around them keeping them in place. Kikyou looked back at him and gave him a small smile.

"I know, because I love you. I'll wait for you, forever, even if forever may not be long enough."

(End flashback)

The dragon surrounded Naraku and then laughed a malicious laugh of glee, it was happy to have another victim. It then grabbed Naraku in one clawed hand and held him while it opened its mouth and and swallowed him whole. The dragon exploded in a burst of light, and Naraku's blood rained down upon the forest. A red shield surrounded Demis, Kikyou's body, and the others from the rain of blood, untill it stopped. Sighing, Demis put away his sword and his eyes turned back to violet.

"It seems like he wasn't so tough after all, I could have picked a less...messier spell. Oh well, at least I didn't get any of his nasty blood on me. Half demons are horrible, but humans that turn into half demons are pathetic. And all for lust, heh, what a ridiculous emotion!"said Demis as he looked around at the damage done, besides the trees looking like someone had came by with red paint and through them on 'em, and the ground being soaked with Naraku's blood. Everything was fine. Demis finally caught sight of Kikyou's body, stepping toward her, he was met by a sword in front of his face. Inuyasha growled at him by he stood between him and Kikyou's body, he wasn't about to let him do anything to her. Laughing, Demis looked at him and used his power to send him flying into the others.

He stood in front of Kikyou and bended down and picked her up and looked down at her face. His face soften sightly, she was the only human, besides that woman long ago, that had stood up to him. She had done it to get rid of the half demon that tried to stand in his way, but still...

"You look so much like her...maybe that's why Kyle was so attracted to you. You have a light that few people can see, even if it is a sad light...just take care of this body, I'm tired."after saying that Demis closed his eyes as a white light surrounded him. After it was gone, he was dressed in solid white, with his wings now white. Opening his eyes, they were now blue, just like they had been long ago. Before he had met Naraku.

Looking down at Kikyou, Kyle looked shocked. He had come back from the dead! Even if Kikyou hadn't. His eyes watered sightly, untill a voice said in his head.

"Don't get emotional, shouldn't you use the power I gave you too resurrect the her? We still share the same body, and I don't want you whining forever..."

Smileing Kyle let the spell that was flowing through his head wash over him, as he said the words out loud. "Let my wish become word, I want the gift of humanity to come back to her..." A white light surrounded the both of them. After it was gone, Kikyou too a deep breath and opened her eyes. Blinking she looked up into Kyle's face.

"I'm alive...your eyes..."she said as she put a hand on his cheek.

"Yeah, well I'm still possessed, if that's what you were going to ask. But I can live with..."leaning down so his lips were next to her ear, he whispered in her ear: "I'll live with it just for you, my final wish was to stay by your side always."

Kikyou smiled and whispered back. "And here I thought I was going to wait forever...thanks for giveing me your gift...my humanity. With you I can feel again, I want to stay with you forever, because only you hold the key to my heart."

(A few weeks later...)

The hustle and bustle of the city still existed even when your on a bridge. The wind swept by and blew a light sea breeze around. A man smiled while looking out to sea, his black hair swirled around and he took off his sun glasses so his black eyes could see the sunlight reflecting off the sea better. He leaned back a little on his motorcycle, he was careful though to not knock it over. The sun shone on a black sword length case on the back of the motorcycle.

"Hello? May I speak to a miss Kagome? Yes I'll wait."said a woman with long black hair. She tapped the public phone case lightly, her white ribbon tied on her wrist bounced sightly from the action. The ribbon on her arm fluttered in the wind and her earth brown eyes looked at the man that was waiting impatiently for her. Smiling she hummed slightly.

"Kagome! There's someone on the phone calling for you!"

"Souta! Don't shout!"

"Sorry mom!"

The woman laughed slightly from the voices she was hearing over the phone. She stopped when she heard the person she was waiting for pick up the phone.

"Hello? This is Kagome. Sota! I got the phone, hang up! Sorry mom, I won't shout! Oh sorry, hi, who is this?"

"You don't reconize my voice anymore Kagome? I told you I would call when I was in the USA."

"Oh, Kikyou! Where are you? Where have you been? Are you married yet?"asked Kagome. In the background Inuyasha pipped up his ears and stared at the back of Kagome's head. He hadn't heard of Kikyou or Kyle since they split up and went there seprate ways when they got to Kagome's time.

"I'm on that big bridge in New York, I'll have to ask Kyle whats it called later. We were in Tokyo for awhile then we left. And no, I'm not married."Kikyou smiled as she heard Inuyasha's voice asking her if it was really Kikyou. Looking to her right in the phone booth, she saw a old missing flyer saying something about, "If you had seen this boy?". It had Kyle's picture on it, he was doing the peace sign by wearing Mickey mouse ears. Kikyou laughed and then stopped when she heard Kagome repeat a question.

"Kikyou, I asked you if you what you guys are doing? You two could have stayed with me and Inuyasha at the shrine, we have plenty of room."

"Yeah we could have, but I want to see the world. Your worlds so brand new to me. Plus Kyle wants to get Demis out of his head, so were looking for people to help."

Kagome laughed and held Inuyasha at bay, he was trying to get the phone out of her hands. "Why does he want to do that? Last thing I heard, he said that he wascomfortable with him. He had helped him beat Naraku and gave you back your life."

"Yeah, well its not so great when you have a dragon god takeing over your mind sometimes. He exploded at some poor lady on the plane and we almost got arrested and thrown in jail! That and he interrupts during the...well...you know...moments..."said Kikyou as a blush started forming on her cheeks.

"Oh...I mean OH...I get it. Well good luck, Miroku said he had done enough evil to land him a reserved spot in hell forever."

"Yeah, well then we'll just have to do enough good to land him a reserved spot in heaven. At least Demis is going along with it, he keeps on saying he wants to see someone important to him again...Oh hold on, I have to put in more quarters. Damn machine." After putting in more coins Kikyou laughed when he heard Kagome and Inuyasha arguing.

"Damn you woman! If I didn't-"

"You didn't what?! And my names K-a-g-o-m-e, not "woman"! And don't curse in this house! As long as you and me are living in this house, untill I get out of high school, you will behave like a good dog!"

"What the hell did you just call me?!

"A dog! Now sit!"shouted Kagome. She heard Kikyou laughing and blushed in embarrassment. Then said something to her: "Well, where ever you are, where ever you go, we will always be here if you want to come back to the past or just see all of us. Don't forget us, Kikyou! And say hi to Kyle!"

Kikyou smiled and fingered the jewel choker around her neck. It was made out of the Shikon no Tama. "I'll never forget you guys...I got to go. Good bye!" She hung up the phone and pulled her short black skirt down a little. After smoothing out the wrinkles in her white blouse and some in her short black shorts, that were under the skirt. She then walked towards Kyle and smiled.

"Sorry it took so long, you look good in black biker gear."she said as he looked at her and smiled.

"Well its better late then never, besides, I knew it was going to take a long time. Girls talk to much." Kyle laughed as he was playfully hit on the arm.

"Well lets go, I want to see more of the "America", that you were talking about."said Kikyou as she got on the motorcycle after him. Kyle looked back at her and smiled.

"Sure, lets go! After all, this isn't called the land of dreams and opportunity for nothing. We'll find the pieces to our dreams, I just know it!"said Kyle as he started up the motorcycle, soon they were off, heading for the city.

Demis took control of Kyle and shouted at himself. "What kind of corny ending words are that!? "We'll find the pieces to our dreams, I just know it!" What kind of wimp did I posses?"

Kyle took back the control of his body. "Would you shut the hell up! And stop doing that! I'm driving!"

"Yeah like you could drive even with our me controlling your body."

"You little-"

"Boys, boys, please, lets have a peaceful ending. Besides, you have forever to argue, for now, lets just enjoy this gift of life. This gift of humanity."

(End of final chapter.)

Well I'm glad you reveiwed again and said you liked this story, I hope you like this chapter! :)

The Chibi Freya: Well actually...you didn't review. Well you did, but it was just to tell me about your friends story and yours. Well I guess a review is a review, but still, please don't do that again. That really bugged me on this story, I had about three people do that, including you which made three! (Well I think three people did this...) If you want to tell me that your story is updated in a review, go ahead and review, but read my story first then review and say something about the story. If you don't want to review my works, but still tell me about something, like your fan fiction, email me. But thanks anyway! :)

Kikyou and Inuyasha: You were also one of the first people that reviewed this, thank you. Though I never heard from you since your first review, I hope you are reading this or read it sometime and review again. :)

Sn-chn: Well I don't know what you were talking about in your review, I forgot what I put up for a review in one of your stories! Sorry if I flamed you, I just hate Kikyou haters. I'm glad you don't hate Kikyou anymore, or don't like her but isn't a Kikyou hater. I hope you read the story, and I wished you had reviewed again, but hey, thats life. Oh well, I hope you read this sometime and review again. :)

Kitusina: Actually, I hate to be rude, but I hope you aren't reading this. Your review had nothing to do with this story, and it seemed like you were overly obsessed with Inuyasha. Sorry, but I couldn''t add you to the story. I planned this whole story out before hand, besides the parts I added in, and I wanted it to go the way I planned it.

Itosugi-Cypress: You were also one of the first people that reviewed! I think you were the very first that reviewed! Your review made me keep writeing, and you gave me positive help! Thank you so much, and yes I read your song fic, I also reviewed! :)

And to all the flamers...

as if: You know what you little bastard, screw you! You can go and rot in hell along with every other Kikyou hater! Do you get some sick pleasure from reviewing and flameing Kikyou fics!? God, if you don't like the character or the story, don't read! I don't care if I was asking for it by my warning at the end, your the sick fuck that reviewed! So get a fucking life you loser! I hope you aren't reading and are getting your ass kicked by Kikyou fans right now. Or by angry dogs in heat!

And to the people that I can't remember, that asked if he/she could use the first chapters to start his/her own version of this: Sorry, but no thanks. I'm not being mean, it's just that I don't want to have multiple copies of this fan fiction spread around. I understand wanting to help someone with their fan fiction or adopting a fan fiction, but at the time I wanted to write this by myself. But thank you for reviewing. :)

Author's Notes (9/10/13):

Thank you so much you for reading this. I know this was hard to get through, and looking back on this fan fiction I made a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes and the style needs some work. However, I'm happy to have written this. It's full of mistakes, but without this fan fiction I would never have written Four Seasons or continued writing fan fan fiction for 10 years. Whether it's fan fiction or my own fiction, I hope to continue writing for years to come. If you are interested in my other fan fiction please check out my profile. You'll find some of my other early work as well as my current fan fiction. Once again, thank you for reading.
