Instaneous Sadness...Oh Well

but perhaps, herself...

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Kikyo pushed herself away from a nearby tree, releasing it of its duty as her support-a languid exhale signaling said action.

Her former village was quite some distance from the grave site she was nearing. She had come home on pure impulse, as she had not seen her father for almost a year upon her training to

I honestly loved this! Well-written as always, although not at emotion-wrenching as some of your other work, it was definitely a wonderful read!

"Her village harbored such bitterness towards her sire and his outspoken conduct-thought him impure by his lack of faith alone." I don't know why, but this phrasing seems a bit odd, and I hope you don't mind me asking about it a little more. I hope you won't get offended, but for some reason, this bit startled me a bit.

Anyway, wonderfully written piece! And I love how you wrote her!

I'm happy to see you liked it! ^_

Ugh, look at that...I'm really sorry, I've been told I write to much...just think of the equivalent of someone talking to much...that's me... -__-

Oh, thank you so much for the insight! I never really try to ask questions, because I know sometimes it can be irritating. So I'm glad I wasn't an annoyance.

Anyway, that now makes perfect sense to me! I rather like the idea that though how strained their relationship was for that reason. It's really a unique and thoughtful piece. And thank you so much for explaining it a little bit more to me!

(AS if to mock him, or purge his impurities, the possible reasons can go on, my mind went on a tangent with this actually, Oh, I love the idea that they were going to purge his impurities!

I definitely saw some guilt or perhaps a bit of bitterness when I read this, so you were spot-on! And I honestly don't mind long replies and you didn't bore me a bit. ^_^

You're welcome! *hugs*

Oh by the way, I am so thankful that you decided to skip the word count and keep it as it is. It's wonderful this way. :)

T___T AGH I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. I was writing something for a contest community, and I thought the due date was that day, but the deadline was actually the day before as well >>

Ah well ><

Sadness :/ And strange, cause I've never really thought about Kikyou's family (besides Kaede before). Wonderfully written, and very moving )':

Sorry you didn't make the due date ^^;; But I'm glad you posted it up (:

I know, don't you hate that? Honestly, I wanted to headdesk, but I thought of how ridiculous that would have been as the situation was not as horrible as I was internally making it out to be...so I settled for a facewipe, lol.

Yeah, I always thought of Kikyo and Kaede's parents, and looking at the prompt, the idea just came to me :). Thank you so much!! I'm happy to hear it invoked some emotion, it was what I was aiming for. I didn't want it to be 'too' angsty though, but with the theme I guess it couldn't be helped. :)

Thanks! We should make a schedule for these things to avoid any future slips ringorius, lol. But I'm sure this will be a lesson learned (ah, one can only hope)...^_^

This was wonderful Crystal! ^_^

Loved the emotion you had her in, especially since she never really cries except for once.

Thanks Blu! ^_^
