2. No Need, Really!

(Y/n)'s POV

I took care of Lady Kikyo for a few days. She was quite nice, actually. She told me about her family, and I told her about how I lost my parents when I was 9 and how I started raising myself in the forest, self-teaching about the environment.

We got along really well. She was with me for nearly half a month. Her wounds were really grave and deep.

"Well, if you want to phone your family, there's a village nearby," I said to her, one night as we wear eating dinner. "You can get the local phone, pay up and call anyone you want."

"Hm, I see," said Lady Kikyo. "I don't have money right now, though"

"It's fine, I have a coin or two to spare," I said, gulping.

"How come?" She asked, surprised. "I thought you live here, depending on the forest for everything?"

"I, uh," I swallowed, nervousness coming over me. "Someone's coin fell in the forest and I picked it up. People often leave some behind, so I collect them, incase I have to go to the village hospital due to some really severe injury"

"Ah, I see," she said. "Alright, then, should we go tomorrow?"

"Sure," I said with a smile. The day ended with a orange sky. I watched as the violet took over from the orange. "If only..."

I started singing a song I had once heard a girl sing in the village. I bit my lip as I finished singing (any song of your choice).

"Wow, you have a nice voice," said a voice behind me. Knowing it was Lady Kikyo, I turned around.

"Thank you," I said, smiling sadly.

"You know, I see a very bright future for you," she said softly. I just smiled and went out of my cave. "Come on, I can walk now, so I will help you cook, today"

"Only if you want to, Lady Kikyo," I said, bending to scoop some water in my hands. I washed my face, and looked up at the night sky.

A flash of light passed. I instantly closed my eyes and made a wish.

I want to live happily for the rest of my life.

I chuckled at my own wish and stood up. I went in and started preparing dinner with Lady Kikyo.

Who knows when it will be fulfilled?

"Okay, there it is," I said to Lady Kikyo. We were in the village right now, and I was pointing at the local phone. "Hello, can we use the phone?"

"Sure, one penny," he said in a thick voice. I nodded and put the coin in. Lady Kikyo dialled the number she wanted and put the recieving end to her ear.

"Gotoh," she said, "Give the phone to Silva. Is he there? No? Then pass on this message to him. Say, Kikyo reached the kennel, the dog is dead but put up a fight so I am slightly injured. I will come back as soon as I can"

I was laughing my a** off at her weird words. Is that some kind of code? It's kinda stupid. I understood it anyway.

We went back and I talked a few more things with Lady Kikyo. She was nice lady and I felt like I could trust my life with her.

"Listen, I have to tell you something," she said on the day she was leaving. I smiled to show her I was listening. "You have been quite the sweetheart and taken care of a stranger who is an assassin. You are brave, kind and a sweet girl. In return of your favor, I want to give you something"

"What? No, Lady Kikyo," I said quickly, "There's no need, really!"

"No there is," she said. "I have seen you sad so many times, it looks to me like you are not happy with your life. So, I want you to come with me. So I am taking you with me"

It was a statement, not a question.

"Okay, I-" before I could finish, my surroundings were a big blur as I felt the wind around me rushing like I was falling from the top of a church.

I shut my eyes as they were starting to sting with all the dust in the wind. I felt all movement stop.

I slowly opened my eyes. I was in a grey room. I stood still, my eyes wandering everywhere to see if Lady Kikyo is anywhere.

"Who are you?" A voice behind me said. I instantly turned and punched the person straight in the face.
