Author's Notes: This first little bit (and I mean little) is the beginnings of my next piece...A spoiler, if you will, for my new fic. I would like it to range between the 20,000 and 50,000 word length, so updates will probably be slow in coming, although I will try my hardest to keep it on a regular schedule (Probably a new chapter every two-three weeks). Comments and crits are welcome! Thanks for reading!
Kyo watched her from a distance, hidden from her yet able to see everything she did. She was selling medicine and herbs, her smile evident even from his faraway viewpoint. Her voice rang out, loud and clear, as she left one small hut and headed through the small village. She didn't use a horse or bicycle, just continued to walk with that box on her back.
She looked the same as she did four years ago...
Four years. Kyo hadn't seen Yuya, avoided her even, since that last battle between himself and Kyoshiro. That battle was difficult, like fighting yourself. And, in essence, it was true. He had been a part of Kyoshiro at one time.
In the end, neither could defeat the other, and they could not walk the Earth apart. To be separate, they would constantly be battling. There was no truce between them, there never could be. They were two sides to the same whole and yet they opposed each other like opposite sides of a magnet. A compromise would only complicate matters.
So, in a rash decision made instantly by both, they chose to be in the same body. It was a decision both would regret...
