Author's Notes: This is semi-based off a passage from Shakespeare's play Macbeth (which I do not own). Just a little oneshot from the Inu no Taisho, on the eve of his death.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
Tomorrow
From day to day I go, watching each sunrise and each sunset. It is continuous and reliable, the same pace as always. It went on before me, and will go on after me. I am not what makes it happen. I am simply an observer of time.
I can observe time because I have the time. My life has been long, and I spent a great many days of my youth showing others the way to death's gates. Bloodshed was my choice in life; as was death. And now, death beckons to me. Now, it is my turn. But it will be no great enemy that extinguishes my candle, though one almost did. No, this will be a mere mortal, who will lose his own life in the process.
It doesn't matter, life will go on for others. The lives of both my sons with continue on, whether or not I am here. They too, will eventually face the dark shadows at the end of their own lives, after wasting valuable breath and time, as everyone does, until that time is up. Once so, they will be gone, just as I will be gone, many years earlier.
I am restless, my destiny calls me. Looking back now, it all seems for nothing. My life is full of anger, and bloodshed. The few precious moments I could have had I wasted, and now my son pays the price. And my other, he will never know me. In the end, all that I have accomplished will signify absolutely nothing. That is the way it is with the dead.
From day to day I go, watching each sunrise and each sunset. But this will be my last sunset, and it is not due to the sun being unreliable.
Forgive me all; steadily, my insignificant choices will affect you.
