A/N: Hello! I have always wanted to write a Sesskik fanfiction for quite a while now and here I am. My very first fanfiction for this fandom. Please read my fanfic and if you like it or find it interested for what's more to come, please fav this story.

Chapter 1: Snow

It was snowing again. Kikyo pulled the thin piece of cloth closer around her although it could provide her with no warmth that she was expecting. She had been watching the snow fall for a little long with her mind wondering a few questions she herself could not answer. It had been a little more than a few days that she was brought back to the world of living with a mission to carry out condemned by the skies. She recalled the conversation she had with the god of the skies,

Kikyo walked cautiously with her eyes fixed completely on the aged sky god residing on his throne. Never had she been to the land of the skies nor the castle. Truth to be told, it was a puzzlement for her to be summoned here. The old god welcomed her with a smile as she approached closer.

"My little Kikyo, welcome to the Land of the Skies. I am Riku, God of the Skies. And little one, you might be wondering why you are being summoned to my castle. Let me cut the story short. Very soon, there will be a war between the Northern and Southern lands, a war for the power of a possession caused by the recklessness of my own actions a long time ago,"

"My lord, may I say that what is happening in the living world has nothing to do with me anymore. I am of the dead and my soul had long ago left the Land of the Livings. I am sorry but I am not capable of the task you assigned. Pardon my insolence, and please allow me to leave,"

She bowed to the elderly god and turned to leave.

"Miko, I am very well aware of the fact that you no longer belong to the world you once belonged too. But this a mission only you can succeed for only a person who has experienced both dead and living can carry out the will of the possession. If it falls into the hand of either the North or the South, many innocent lives will be lost, something you would not like to see. Naturally I would be the one to retrieve it but as you can see, I am barely carrying myself. Be my vessel and retrieve the possession. By doing so, humanity will be saved,"

Her eyebrows fused. That old god knew how to play his words. Save humanity, when had the sky even laid mercy on humanity, she questioned silently. Slowly she turned again to face the kami-sama.

"What is it that I have to retrieve, my lord?"

A quick smirk flashed across the wrinkled sky god's face knowing he had well-played his words around this headstrong miko.

"A sword, my dear,"

Once again, she was the dead, walking on the soil of the living world and she detested it.
