Summary: Kikyou wonders how she can be saved.
She sighed as she watched St.Hakushin's soul ascend. Her conversation with him had forced her to examine herself. She was like him in many ways. In her life she had tried to live with doubt and without fear She had denied her humanity..
When she had been resurrected, she had been full of hate and the desire for revenge. She had become very demon that she had always fought against. She was willing to use any means to achieve her ends.
Nothing mattered except revenge against Naraku. In her arrogance she had become a creature who was no better than Naraku. It was no wonder that she could not pass the saint's barrier. She had changed from the epitome of purity to the monster that she was today.
All wanted to be saved. When the criminal had died, she had brought his soul to Mt. Hakurei to be saved. She had saved Suikotsu by purifying his shard. Hakushin had obtained his release when he realized that he was entitled to peace.
She was no different than them. In many ways she envied them. Despite all the evil they had done, in the end they were saved and all found peace. She longed to free of the earthly burdens that had been thrust upon her. Only by obtaining peace could she stop being the monster that she had become and regain her humanity.. She had saved them all. She wondered who would be there to save her.
