When I look into your face So, distant, much like mine, but more like his,
I remember the foolish vow I gave To the only man to ever earn my respect.
I remember how I nodded silently,
wordlessly,
When he evoked it from me,
With that nod, sealing my fate.
"Will you protect him, Sesshoumaru"
I nodded. Damn me.
I never imagined, how many years I would regret that nod.
I never imagined that There would be an instant I was thankful for it.
Most of all,
I never imagined,
There would be a day When it would grow obsolete,
When protection was the last thing you needed.
When what you need is simply-
A big brother.
