Brief Post-Canon HC--Rebirth/ resurrected.
🏹 Needless to say when Sesshomaru brought her back to the world of the living, Kikyou was disoriented, angry and surprised. She held an array of mixed emotions towards the demon who had both the audacity and persistence to find a successful method of bringing her back. She felt sensations. The heat of the sun, the feel of blood pumping in her ears, the strange, wet substance of the chamber she emerged from. Eyes almost blinded by the light as everything felt new..and loud.
It was disconcerting to say the least and she was very much aware of the level of magic that hung in the air.Naked, slick in the honey type substance, her brown hues focused upon the observant and mildly expectant face of the inu-yokai. 🏹 It took some time for her to work through all her emotions from positive to negative. And in those few weeks, it was simply her and Sesshomaru while Rin and Jaken stayed with Kaede. Those weeks allowed her to become adapted to a living body again. From simple things like walking, the use of the muscles..things she once knew and had to relearn all over again..As if she had been re-birthed. Sesshomaru, somehow, was uncharacteristically and strangely patient. with her. He bore the lash of her emotions and frustrations..but the miko saw the strain. Saw the effort he had made..was making..It was clear that whatever he had done, had taken some toll on him. And out of all the emotions she felt, worry and fear roared the loudest. In those weeks, Sesshomaru helped her. But she also did her part to make it as easy as possible as well. Instead of resisting, she observed and used different approaches to get him to rest. She was cognizant of the fact he knew what she was doing..but there was no need to speak. He helped her re-learn all that she once knew..and she ensured..he was taken care of..and rested. Otherwise, his male pride and demonic stubbornness would have certainly taken more of a toll.
