Summary:
Can one really cheat death?
He sits in the tree and watches her. And he knows that she loves him. She is his everything, though he has tried to forget this. He cannot return her love; he has an obligation.
She is life and Kikyou death, and he loves them both the same.
Now he watches her face, shining like the sun as she laughs. Yes, she radiates. He thinks he must be lucky to have loved twice, more so to be alive. Yet there was honor in his death for Kikyou. What honor is there now?
When he wakes from dreams of his death she is there, waiting at the base of the tree. And his soul weeps in her embrace.
She is life. And he wants her, but he is already marked by death.
