Smiling

By Keika no Kaiyou

WARNING: Includes spoilers for what happened in Wednesday the 25ths Inu Yasha manga. Now that you know that you also must realize that KAGURA DIES AND INU YASHA AND SESSHOUMARU ARE SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He he he...

Kagura:

I'm as free as a

BIRD

Who flies

Yet...

I....

....Cannot....

....Move

A force greater then

FREEDOM

Keeps me here

I sigh

You come

I don't know why Naraku isn't here

But you didn't come for Naraku

Did you?

Not even you can hold be here

Not even you can save me

Maybe you aren't as powerful....

....as I thought

But....

But....

But at least I'm no longer alone

I'm......

......Happy

At least........

....In the end.......

....I was......

.....With........

..You....

Sesshoumaru:

I knew when I smelled it

That you would soon die

Blood, death, and shouki

You were strong

But it seems that you...

...Were not strong enough

I would save you

If Tenseiga could

Are you going?

I understand

But why do you smile?

I understand now

Rin was right

I'm sorry

Goodbye

Inu Yasha:

I shouldn't have left her alone

Dammit Kagura, don't die

Have I failed?

"Hold it Sesshoumaru!"

He stops

What do I say to this brother who hates me?

"Did Kagura..."

"Was she suffering?"

A feather

"She was smiling"
