Eternal Sleep

Under the setting sun laid a dormant meadow, at the edge of the meadow of white was a neat pile of stones. There lay six feet under a boy by the name of Kohaku, only just freshly buried. The sky bled red as friends said their last goodbyes to their fallen companion. Tears had been shed and were still being shed as the group sent one last longing look to where the boy now rested. As they sullenly walked away only one stayed behind. The large neko looked back to the stones her red eyes filled with aguish. She seemed to debate on something before she decided to walk to the meadow's edge. She just had to see him one more time.

Kirara walked up to the stones, and sat down by her companion, her friend, the boy who she watched grow since his birth. The two-tail had experienced many deaths, but his death seemed to hit her harder than any other, even more so than Midoriko's. He was too young, suffered too much at such a young age. He deserved a chance to live. The boy felt more pain than Kirara had in all her six hundred years of life. If the neko could cry, she would. Why couldn't she protect him? He was right there, right in her reach, but she was distracted for only just a second when he- when he was…

Kirara closed her eyes trying not to remember what had happened to her best friend; the sound of his cry of pain, his once joy filled warm brown eyes looking to the sky, his gaze empty. He was no longer there, no longer here; he was now out of her reach and always will be. Kirara released a mournful cry, her voice filled with such pain. She looked down to where her friend laid in eternal sleep. She leaned forward, placing her nose against a stone; her final farewell.
