One eye open

Mononoke fanart, as in the short sequel series to Ayakashi, not the Miyazaki film, of course. The Medicine Seller and Kayo and the Medicine Seller again. Like I figure it, since the Medicine Seller always sort of dramatically swoons when his other self wakes up and starts swinging the sparkly sword around, only one of them's ever conscious at the same time. So the one half of the Medicine Seller's just evaporating, and the other's just waking up. (And they're both. . .or he is. . .he and himself are kissing Kayo, who looks a bit freaked out by the dissolving remains of whatever that was that originally necessitated the drawing of the sword. ^^ Kayo is adorable--she reminds me of Fuu.)
