A Feudal Fairytale by Shadowkat83

Chapter III

Prompt: Betrayal (Phea’s Word Prompts)

          Inuyasha winced as his little sister, Kaede, tightened the bandages around his injured shoulder. He studied his sister’s hunched form; she would be a great miko one day, despite her missing eye. Inuyasha frowned as he remembered how both of them had been injured, Kikyō.  Inuyasha felt a pang in his heart as he thought of her betrayal. They had planned on spending their life together, but then Kikyō had attacked the village searching for the Shikon.

          It was then that Inuyasha made a decision. He knew that when this was all over he would no longer be of this world, but now he planned on taking the Shikon to the afterlife with him. That meant he would have to confront Kikyō, somehow. He was not looking forward to facing her. Despite her betrayal, Inuyasha still loved her.

          Thinking on back to his training as a priest, he realized that there was a way to deal with the hanyo. He would seal her that way she would never be able to attack anyone and he wouldn’t have to kill her. With that thought in mind, Inuyasha grabbed his bow and quiver of arrows and headed off into the forest surrounding Edo. He had a hanyo to confront.
