Kikyo's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up, still in the poorly lit room. I didn't want to move from my spot on the futon, hoping that my body would just give up, but knowing that wouldn't happened, I reluctantly opened my eyes to see Sesshomaru sitting beside me. He must have been there the whole time, because his head was leaned back against the wall, facing the roof=asleep. He stirred suddenly, stretching out his arms and yawned, then turned and faced me. "Good morning," he smiled gently. This scene was quite disturbing considering how he usually acted. Yes, that little girl definately changed his ways, but I doubt his heart...
"Hmph." is all II say as I turn to my side. I do not wish to be amoung the living any more, and I am quite angry towards him for using his wretched sword upon me. I despise him. All the anger and hatred in my body is now focused on putting that man through sheer misery and causing his life to be filled with chaos.
"Is that any way to treat someone who saved your life, or have you forgotten already?" he asked sarcastically.
I turned towards him, only enough to catch a glimpse and I glared at him as if I could destroy him by doing so. "It is if you didn't want to live!" I spat and once again turned towards the wall.
"I'll let you rest." he said, "Your body is still in lack of it's strength. You should try to stay calm as-"
I shot straight up and glared at him even harder. "Calm? Calm?! I hoped my soul would finally be at peace, and here I am! Yet, you want me to be calm?!" I screetched, causing him to wince due to his sensitive hearing.
"I advise you to calm down, Kikyo."
"Not until my soul is at rest." I stated angrily.
The anger grew in his eyes-anger, the emotion I now new all too well- he was losing his calm. Finally! I hope he destroys this worthless body and puts my soul to rest! I beam inwardly as I imagined the gory scene of the bloodshed, yet it never came. I slumped down back on my bed as he just stood there, staring at me.
"You fool," he began, "Your soul will never rest until you have fullfilled your purposehere." he grasped my chin and forced me to look in his powerful gaze.
"My purpose is over, and has been for over fifty years..." I stated coldly.
"You're wrong. You 'still' have a purpose, otherwise, you wouldn't be here now...' I started to speak at his comment, but he placed his finger firmly over my lips. "IF your purpose were over, I would have never have found you in the cold night."
I bit my lip, trying to think of what he said and what I could say in return, but there was nothing except..."You're right." I said quietly, pulling my face out of his grasp and act as if I found the blanket of my borrowed futon quite interesting.
"I know I'm right." he stated casually as he bent on his knee and smirked. "You do have a purpose, you just have to figure out what it is."
"I....I know, but it doesn't mean I don't hate you for bringing me to life....." I said, tears flowing freely down my face.
"If you didn't hate me, I'd be worried." he said as he once again took my chin in his grasp and dried my tears with his free hand. "I'll let you be for the time, but I will be back within the hour to bring you to breakfast."
"I'm not hungry." I stated.
"You will eat. Did you not listen earlier? Your body is still weak, you need energy."
"What difference does it make? I shall die again sooner or later anyways....Hopefully sooner."
I could once again see anger appear, but he did not show it. "Not as long as I can help it." he said as he started to walk out, "Be ready. There's a wash basin beside you. Use it." Then he left.

Okay. See, ....when Sesshomaru talks of Inuyasha, he usually calls him the half breed, his half brother, or (rarely) brother. That's why I used 'the miko, that miko' instead of Kikyo. Yes, he has met her. Yes, he knows her. It's just....how I wrote it.
Oi....if you want to see a picture of Sesshomaru and Kikyo, go to http://www.myotaku.com, type in my name (Melissa), and go to fanart. Warning: The pic isn't good.
