1000 no Kotoba (Prologue & Epilogue)
---
"Kikyou! Kikyou!" Nariko ran to the [dead] miko, with her bright, smiling face shining in the sun.
"Nariko-chan, what have you got there?" Kikyou looked down to see the black haired girl, she carried a bunch of yellow flowers, not enough for her to hold, causing the wind to blow and knock some off her grip. "For you, I picked them from my secret area!" She stood with a smile glazed across her face as Kikyou took the flowers from the girl's hand, "Thank you, I will display them in any way I can in the temple."
"Nariko! Nariko!" An older woman called.
"Yes, mama?"
"Time to go now."
"Yes mama." She looked up at Kikyou, "Promise you will put them in the temple?"
Kikyou gave a gentle smile to her, "Of course I will."
The girl nodded and ran back home with her mother behind her.
Kikyou stood there, smiling, happy, grateful she has come to a small village where they appreciate her. She had fallen in love again, by a boy as old as her, his name was Yunosuke. By now, Kikyou's sneaking skills were very good, she could go and get souls at night, and made her "workers" work extremely quick, quicker than usual.
It finally fell to evening, Kikyou sat in the temple praying, and doing flower arrangements.
"Priestess." A boy about her age [in human form] said to her.
"May I ask what you are doing up this late?" She kept arranging the flowers given to her by several children.
"Same could go for you." He walked over to her and sat beside her to watch her loose hair flow as the wind came inside the room, due to the windows. He sighed and stared at her, 'she is so lovely.. maybe I should tell her..'
Kikyou sighed, "Do you always come to visit me? I've seen you follow me wherever you go."
"Kikyou, I want to ask you something.. you've never said anything about your life to the village at all, all they know is that you are a priestess, who doesn't want more than to stay with us, but you've always said to us, 'my life is of no concern, it's yours that means more to me', I want you to tell me something."
Kikyou's eye's fell to the ground, the boy had told her something she'd never been told before, "Yunosuke, it's true, needing to know about my life is of no concern to anyone."
"Why do you say this? You're living, aren't you? I want to know more about you, Kikyou." He put his hand on her's and smiled, "You don't have to hide anything from me."
".... what do you want to know?" Kikyou looked at his bright face, and his messy black hair that had been dirty ever since he's worked in his uncle's fairly large garden.
"I want to know.. where did you come from?"
Kikyou's face met his and their eyes locked, "Lets just say, I came from somewhere you shouldn't have knowledge of."
He was confused for a bit, then asked her, "Why are you always up so late?"
"I am free to watch the village, right?" Yunosuke smiled and nodded.
He thought about the next question, hard.. hard and thought for a few mintues.
"Would you like to know anything else, or would you like to leave me be?" Kikyou loved being around the boy, he reminded her of Inuyasha, and how Inuyasha used to follow her everywhere, watching her.
"H-how.. was y-your l-l-l-ove life?" He studdered and looked away from her.
She chuckled, "Any specific reason?"
He shook his head saying, "n-n-o.."
"Well.. I did love this demon.. this half-demon, he meant everything to me, he loved me too.. and then, this evil came into our lives. He made us think we betrayed eachother, we parted, and the last time I saw him, was with his woman, in love."
Yunosuke understood it, he now knew why she'd never talk about her life as much, she had a sad past, not much was said to him about her, all he knew is that she was beatiful, and she knew it.
"Kikyou.. would you want to love again?"
Kikyou sighed and did her flower arrangments again, "Yes.." 'i hope he DOES admit to me..'
He thought for a second and there was a long pause until he said, "Kikyou, I have to tell you the truth now."
"What is it?" Kikyou finally broke from her arranging to look at him, hopeful he'd admit his love for her.
"From the first day I met you, I never thought i'd be so in love, that the woman would mean more to me than anything else i've ever wanted. You have made a place in me, I want to be with you, what i'm saying is.. I love you."
Kikyou's eyes shot up to his, and she could tell he was blushing, "So.. will you try again..? This time..? With me..?"
Kikyou smiled, and held Yunosuke's face in her hands, "I.. love you too.."
He didn't care anymore, he pulled her, down.. for a gentle, long-awaited kiss.

XDD Don't worry! Yunosuke appears only in 2 chapters, or maybe the 3rd one too. ^^ Be patient with Fluffy.
