Repentance

He missed her.

When her sweet, innocent scent wasn't there to envelop him in times of need, he felt lonely and vulnerable. His heart felt empty and his body ached. Soulless seemed like the only word to describe the pain in his chest, in his stomach, and in his heart...

Yes. Just like Kikyo, he was (or felt) soulless. But anguish was all that propelled him to move and breathe on this very earth.

He'd seen her when she left this era forever. She'd even spared a goodbye to the heavens for him...for the man who slinked away into the night while she slept assuredly.

Sigh...

Repentance.

It was his only way out.
