I have a feeling this one is a bit of a head spinner, so you might need to pay close attention to the words.

Feel free to ask questions, as I love reviews, but what I'd appreciate the most is criticism. This is, by far, not my best work and I know it needs lots of improvement before I'm satisfied, so suggestions WILL be appreciated. Thanks.

"Are you really content to just watch and wait, Kanna?"

Kagura's words echoed through my head.

Back then, when Kagura had spoken, I had, as always, done nothing. I simply sat there, looking as if my attention was fixed elsewhere, even though I had been listening closely to the words she spoke.

Even if I had felt the need to speak, as I rarely ever did, I would not have known how to answer.

For one—what did Kagura mean by content?

Content. Such an odd word, at least in this time and era.

Being privy to a mirror such as mine, I am very much aware of times and eras.

My mirror shows me everything—past, present, and future. Earth, space, and beyond.

Or, perhaps, not everything. If there is such a thing as a Kami, or kamis, I have no knowledge of it or them.

Naraku is not aware that my mirror shows me these things, however.

I am one of the few mysteries lost to Naraku's knowledge, as even he himself knows.

If Kagura knew that Naraku was still figuring me out, I do not doubt she would hasten to take advantage—though I wonder how.

But as to the word content, I know, without doubt, that content is not a word for me.

I will not ever be content, for contentedness is, no doubt, for those that have joy.

While it may seem as if I do not have emotions, such as joy, I do.

I just choose not to show them.

However, joy does not come easily to me, and, in the short life that I have lived; I cannot recall a single moment when I have felt enough joy to find myself content, if only for a moment.

I have felt laughter, as shown when I was amused when the child Rin schemed to capture the ugly youkai Jaken in order to put a flower crown upon his head.

I have felt sadness, as shown when I awoke in this life to realize I was only a tool of use, and only a copy of something, or someone, else.

But not the joy that leads to contentedness.

I suppose, if the question had only posed contentedness, I would have answered Kagura with a negative reply, but it was not to be so.

The question of content was not even the main part of the question, so I wonder why I even felt the need to fill my head with silly queries and references as to why I am not content.

I suppose I think of such things to fill my emotion of loneliness, as I also feel.

And I also suppose that I feel lonely, because I do as Kagura suggests.

I watch and wait, as I have always done.

I think the question, now, is if I will continue to watch and wait.

It is, I think, a hard and easy decision.

Easy, because it is simple to do as I have always done, and hard, because to not watch and wait is much more reasonable than doing as I have always.

Still yet, the question must be answered, even if I will not answer to Kagura, but only to myself in order to put my mind at ease.

So would I just watch and wait?

Without a doubt, the answer is yes.

I would not do it contentedly, or fixedly, or with joy, but I would.

I would simply do as I have always done.

I will watch and wait.

That was the answer, and that was that.

So…that bad? Or was it at least semi-okay?

Reviews ARE appreciated!

Thanks for reading :)
