I am not an animal. I am a demon; but not an animal.
I have canine blood flowing through my veins, but I am not an animal.
I have two hands like you, five fingers, eyes, a nose.
I too feel the pain of the loss of a loved one.
I am not perfect; but neither are you; though you may like to think it.
I hate being wet.
I hate humans.
I hate my brother.
I hate chipmunks and the way they get twisted enjoyment out of throwing acorns at me.
I… hate being alone. I never really realized it before I met you.
Darkness I will admit can be a bit scary.
Did I ever tell you of one of my human nights? I was five and was nearly killed by a pack of bears.
The silence is deafening.
But thunder is worse.
I want to know everything.
I always find myself looking straight at the sun, in curiosity.
I remember you scolding me about that.
I remember you used to care.
I thought you loved me.
I think I loved you too.
And now… I don't know what to think.
Think.
I guess that's all I can do now.
My vision at this very moment is getting dimmer.
I smell the blood. It's mine.
The funny thing is that, I'm really not surprised.
The funny thing is, I'm kind of glad.
If this makes your life easier, I'm fine with it.
There. Darkness.
It's not as bad as I remembered.
Thank you, Kagome.
