Summer Skin
It was past her time.
She knew it hadn't been a choice; she wasn't meant to be alive now when the seasons had changed and time had passed.
Kikyo should not have been among the living, but she was.
And this man...this strange companion of her former lover, he should not be among the dead.
The memory of how his cheek felt when she had touched it last; so very, very warm. The way his eyes had sparkled. The way he laughed. The way the wind played with his hair, gossamer and light.
Miroku should not have been among the dead, but he was.
Inu Yasha didn't matter so much anymore. After all, Kikyo no longer belonged here in life.
This time, someone was waiting for her on the other side.
