Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha.
A/N: before I get to the chapter I would like to say that I appreciate anyone who reviews my stories, especially this one, because I have so many special plans for it, I made a chapter list and figured that this story will probably have 17 chapters, so that's good, anyways I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 3: Kikyo's Aid
It felt very refreshing for Kikyo at that moment; things were defiantly looking up for her.
Of course that wouldn't keep her from her duty as a priestess. It was still the warring era and so many men were asking for her help to build their health. Kikyo didn't mind in the least, it was her calling and nothing else mattered to her.
She traveled in yet another village needing her help. The villagers were so relieved to see her.
They had heard of her healing spiritual powers and knew they were now in good hands.
Kikyo was a beautiful, young looking priestess, but she had her secrets. She had actually died 50 years ago and was reborn from the soul from her grave. She once loved a half-demon named InuYasha, but cruel fate intervened when Naraku posed as them and turned their hearts bitter for one another.
Kikyo still had some of those feelings of love for him, for passion, but she knew deep within her she had to push all those feelings away. It was not only her duty as a priestess, but she also felt like she wanted to move on, away from ever loving anyone like that ever again.
'It only brings sadness and hurt for me,' Kikyo thought kneeling down to one of the injured warriors.
She barely heard what he had said to her as her mind was clouded with her own thoughts.
She shook her head a little to rid them all, she had more important things to focus on at the moment.
She noticed that his arm was badly wounded. She quickly went to work, gently wrapping it up in bandages. Kikyo looked around at all the warriors that had either fallen to the ground and were just lying there or were trying to position themselves to sit up.
It was certainly going to be a long day for her and all the men she had to tend to. As Kikyo had expected it took all day to help the poor people of the village and now she was heading out again, in search for more in need.
'It is still hard to grasp that Naraku is gone, after all he had done to so many innocent people,' Kikyo thought to herself wondering deeper in a forest, her soul collectors following above.
She could still recall the memory of them fighting Naraku.
Everyone using all their weapons and power to bring him down. It had been InuYasha using his sword to cut through the barrier. Then the monk, demon slayer and wolf distracted him with their weapons and abilities. Finally it had been the combined effort of her, Kagome and InuYasha's brother to bring him down for good.
Kikyo took a deep breath as she stopped and stood, her thoughts invading her mind once again.
She wanted to stand there and just take everything in and feel the wind of freedom blow softly against her face, and through her long hair.
It brought her deep happiness to be free and not have to worry about anyone coming after her. She thought she was the only one to feel this free from the grasp of Naraku, but she was wrong.
A/N: I know, it was kind of boring, but I had to show Kikyo's point of view as well, it will soon get better and please review, it means a lot.
