Cursed
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the InuYasha characters, quite obviously.
No.
She grits her teeth against the silence and pain, wanting nothing more than to die. But even that luxury has left her. She can do nothing more than walk the earth, aching for a purpose, haunted by memories – once upon a times – that can never be again…
The laughter that once sprang so easily and joyously to her lips is not a sound she makes anymore. Silence crowns her head and bars of ice decorate her heart. To love is to risk more than she can give.
Her beauty is marred only by the past. Her thoughts are bittersweet, her smile sad. If only…but wishes do no good. Wishing only reminds her of what she lost, what another gained, and what she can never have…
Letting go is harder than she could have imagined. Her heart lingers in the past, her soul dancing in the future, her mind stranded somewhere in between. Part of her is angry. Part of her thirsts for vengeance. She cries out in agony. She is not cruel! That is not her nature. But love? Happiness? Those things are of before. Her present is an endless trek in an icy world. Her future is one of no hope. She bows her head and continues on…
Silver hair and golden eyes flash behind the closed lids of her eyes. Can't she forget? Can't she just move on?
No. Life, for her, was never easy, and neither is death.
Resurrected, cursed, haunted. She has lost everything, and even now is doomed to the land of the living. Will no one take pity upon her? Will no one understand?
No.
For no one cares for the cursed.
