Summary: Kikyou somehow has
this way of knowing something's wrong.
The first night Kohaku spent with Kikyou, he'd sulked and fidgeted under her knowing gaze until the dam burst and his emotions flooded forth.
"I should be dead!" he cried, his fingers clenched into tight fists. "Kagura's life...it wasn't worth my own!"
"Apparently, she thought differently," the priestess replied evenly. When Kohaku didn't respond, she continued.
"Rather than resent her sacrifice, you should strive to prove yourself worthy of it."
The slayer remained silent, staring sullenly into the flames. When a soft breeze ruffled his hair, he wondered if the wind witch was still watching over him from the afterlife.
