### Inuyasha

**A Wicked Smile; Kikyo's Wandering Soul**
Elsewhere, several children are looking for herbs in the fields. A girl looks around and finds an herb she's looking for and picks it. The girl calls out to Kikyō, who looks at her. The girl runs to Kikyō and asks if the plant she found is a medicinal herb. Kikyō calls the girl Sayo and says good for her as it's called a lantern plant and it relieves swelling. A boy runs to Kikyō and asks her what can the plant he found is. Another girl runs to Kikyō and asks what the plant she found is as well. Kikyō asks the children to let her see. Nearby is an old priest and his apprentice are watching Kikyō. The apprentice calls the old priest 'Master Seikai' and asks if Kikyō is a demon as she looks absolutely human to him. Seikai tells his apprentice he doesn't have enough training and can't he sense it as the evil that permeates this area. Kikyō and the children are sitting down. Kikyō calls out to Seikai, drawing the attention of the children. Seikai becomes surprised. Kikyō says to Seikai he's been watching them for quite some time. Seikai and his apprentice stop hiding behind the trees. Seikai asks Kikyō if she noticed them as he's overcome by her beauty. Kikyō says to Seikai such flattery. Seikai walks towards Kikyō as he says he must apply himself much more diligently and he's much embarrassed before pretending to lose his balance for a moment as a scroll falls out of his pocket. Kikyō and the children looked at the now opened scroll before Kikyō realizes what Seikai is up to. Seikai asks Kikyō to pick up the scroll for him as it is an anti-evil sutra and if a demon touches it it's true self will immediately be revealed. Kikyō simply picks up the scroll, shocking Seikai. Kikyō rolls the scroll upas she says she's thankful for a sutra and hands it back to Seikai. Seikai thinks to himself that Kikyō touched the sutra yet nothing happened and carefully grabs the sutra before he is attacked by an illusion of multiple of rays of light that pass through his body and fall into a dark hole. Kikyō stands up and tells the children they have to leave as they walk away with the medicinal herbs. Seikai drops the scroll as it opens again and asks himself what was that as something went through his body then becomes surprised to see the sutra. The apprentice runs up to Seikai and asks what's the matter. Seikai tells his apprentice to look at the sutra, who is surprised that it is completely blank. Seikai says that Kikyō completely erased the sutra, surprising his apprentice. Seikai calls out to Kikyō, who stops walking. The children stop as they looked at Seikai. Seikai walks forward a bit as he tells Kikyō he doesn't know what holds her back here but this world isn't for her and return to where she belongs. The boy asks what's Seikai saying. The girl calls Seikai a 'funny monk'. Sayo looks at Kikyō in worry. Kikyō and the children continued to walk forward.

At sunset, Kikyō and the children return to a small village. The villagers notice Kikyō as they say they're lucky to have such a wonderful priestess and the sick are cured and the children are healthy as they are grateful. Kikyō thinks to herself as she remembers that the witch Urasue desired the spiritual powers of a priestess so she robbed the bones and earth from her grave and fired her body in her kiln as her soul which has transmigrated into her new body suits her very well. A flashback of Kikyō's revival, battling with Inuyasha, and fall from the cliff. Kikyō thinks to herself that Inuyasha told her to die again but why did he pity her as thought was it the feel of the heat on her hands, the heat of anger or the flames of vengeance. A flashback of Kikyō surviving the fall as she's unconscious halfway in a river near a waterfall. Sayo calls out to Kikyō, who comes out of her thoughts and look at her. Kikyō calls out to Sayo. Sayo asks Kikyō if she won't go anywhere. Kikyō kneels to Sayo and asks does she like her. Sayo tells Kikyō 'yes'. Kikyō tells Sayo 'thank you' and she's dear to her as well like a little sister. Sayo asks Kikyō really, which Kikyō agrees. Sayo becomes happy. As Sayo is going home she waves at Kikyō before she continues on. Kikyō stands up and looks at the village as she thinks to herself that she will live here in this village and she can do that but wonders is it not allowed.

In the village, Sayo is in a hut with her sleeping family but is unable to sleep as she thinks. Sayo thinks to herself that Kikyō seems a bit depressed as it must be Seikai's fault. A flashback of Seikai telling Kikyō he doesn't know what holds her back here but this world isn't for her and return to where she belongs. As Sayo is trying to block out, she realizes she can't sleep. Suddenly, Sayo looks to see Kikyō walk by. Sayo whispers Kikyō's name and goes outside to see that she is still walking away. Sayo asks herself where is Kikyō going so late at night before she follows her. Kikyō stops near a lake. Sayo secretly watches behind a tree and worries that because of those words this afternoon maybe Kikyō's going someplace far away. Kikyō takes off her hair cord as her hair becomes loose. Multiple soul collectors appears with souls as they surrounded Kikyō. Sayo becomes frightened. Kikyō holds some of the souls as she says souls of tragic women to come to her. Sayo thinks to herself that Kikyō is manipulating the soul collectors. Seikai and his apprentice arrived to meet Kikyō again. Seikai asks Kikyō if she cannot cross to the netherworld and she was the one who has died. Kikyō tells Seikai to please overlook her presence here as she merely wants to live quietly in the small village. The soul collectors fly away. Seikai asks Kikyō if she mere wants to live quietly then why does she gather the souls of the dead. Kikyō says she has reasons. Seikai tells Kikyō it seems that she cannot sustain that body without the souls and takes out his Dragon Orb as it glows. Kikyō turns to Seikai and asks what is he going to do as she takes it that he won't leave. Seikai tells Kikyō he will return her to where she belongs as he does this for her sake. The Dragon Orbs traps and imprisons Kikyō as a huge dragon restrains and chokes her. Seikai tells Kikyō she cannot escape his Demon-Binding Spell as he will extinguish her light save her soul from eternal misery. Kikyō becomes angry and questions Seikai about saving her soul before she uses her own strength of will and power to overpower Seikai's spell and destroys the dragon. One of the dragon's claws ricocheted back at Seikai's hitting in the throat, causing a fatal wound. Seikai hits the ground as the dragon orb lands on the grass before it breaks. The apprentice sees Seikai being killed before he runs away in fear. Kikyō stands in front of Seikai and tells him if he hadn't interfered he wouldn't have died. Seikai grabs Kikyō's foot and just what is she trying to do. Kikyō remains silent. Seikai tells Kikyō the living are carving new moments in their lives but time has stopped for the dead like her thus the dead and the living can never mix and it's sad before he dies. Kikyō thinks to herself about Seikai saying she's sad. Kikyō suddenly senses another presence nearby and asks who's there then sees Sayo cowering in fear on the ground. Kikyō sadly asks Sayo was she watching then walked towards then kneeled down. Kikyō calls out to Sayo and tries to touch her face but she flinches. Kikyō tells Sayo that she's sorry as she has frightened her before she stands up and walks away. Sayo sees Kikyō leaving and stands up and tells her to wait. Kikyō stops and tells Sayo farewell and she's sorry before she continues to walk away. Sayo sadly watches as Kikyō fades away.
