Kikyo... I... you were right. I need you.

I don't understand. Why am I so... what have they done to me? I feel... I feel...

[ Guess what happened to Naraku because of the event? He's no longer cruel, evil, and suppressing his emotions. Now he's a heartbroken open floodgate of every emotion he's kept pent-up for five decades. Onigumo's out, for the most part. Have fun with him. ]

[ Her words brought a small smile to his lips, and as she embraced him, he instinctively does the same, his arms wrapping around her waist. ]

Stay with me, Kikyo... [ Naraku says quietly. ] Please.

[Releasing a quiet breath, she nods. Eventually, she will leave to check on Inuyasha, but, right now, Naraku needs her more. This might be a turning point for all of them. This might be a taste of peace.

She is so tired of fighting.]

Rest. [Leaning her cheek against his cheek, she murmurs -] I won't leave you.

[ Naraku adjusted his position so that he was more comfortable, and did as she asked. He was so very glad that she was going to stay. Finally, his only desire in life was fulfilled. ]

[Kikyo leans against the wall and holds him securely. Though her body has no warmth, his warmth can more than make up for that.]

They're not much different.

[ Thankfully, yeah, Naraku's body does have warmth. He almost wished there was a bed in his small, two-story building. Though her words confused him somewhat. He was starting to drift off, but he managed to ask sleepily: ]

What isn't?

Your Saimyosho and my Soul Collectors.

[Kikyo smiles faintly, falling silent. If he wants to sleep, it will probably do him good. She only hopes he isn't ready to break her (again) when he wakes up.]

[ That's somewhat true, isn't it? Wrapping his arm around her waist, he closes his eyes, and buries his face in the crook of her neck, and soon enough, he's passing out. ]

[It is. Which is why her Soul Collectors were questionable at first. But none of that matters at the moment. The warm weight of him calms her and she releases a soft breath. While he sleeps, she remains awake - at least partially. They're not in any position to let their guards down entirely - and that tiny voice at the back of her mind refuses to let her give into the curse in its entirety.]
