InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cold as you ❯ Chapter 21 ( Chapter 21 )

Chapter 21: Counting all the scars you made

Kikyo rested against a tree. It felt strange no longer needing her soul stealers. They had all fled her. She was alive. Her hand rested against her chest. It was like music to hear the beating of her own heart in her own chest. It was all thanks to Kagome as well. Her mind turned to everything else.

Inuyasha, Naraku, the Shikon No Tama. They all flitted through mind. Staring down at her hands, she suddenly felt the need to bathe. Moving to a stream nearby, she stripped after placing a barrier. Before she got in, she found herself staring at her body. It still retained the scars. Her hands traced the faint claw trails from her time spent with Inuyasha from where he grabbed her too hard. It hovered over the scar on her shoulder that had appeared in time and the other scars that were now healed from where Naraku had attacked her multiple times. It wasn't just the men that had caused these scars. The Shikon No Tama was at the root. If not for the jewel…

Kikyo shook her head and slid into the water. It was cold but for Kikyo it felt refreshing. It had been a long time since she had been able to feel anything.
