I don't own Inuyasha and the song in the middle. I took it from the anime show 'Card Captor Sakura' where Tomoyo sang this song.
Angel's voiceA ghostly white figure appeared at a pathway behind a village. Kanna…she was ordered by Naraku to find a dark priestess for him. On the way to the priestess 's temple, she had to pass a village. So she took a long way round to the pathway behind the village because she know it would displease Naraku to know that she had gone into the village instead of avoiding it.
As she walked by silently, she noticed a small hut next to the pathway. She wanted to take another way out of the hut's side but something stop her. It was an enchanted voice of someone's. Kanna found out that it was coming from the small hut. She went to the window's side and peek in.
It was a woman who seems to be the mother of the child, who looks very sick, lying on the bed beside her. She sings,
You ask me who hung up the beautiful moon.
I replied, "It's the wandering child spirit."
People look at the sky and saw
The spirit of many child Flying around the moonSome people would cry…
Some people would smile
Those who cries
Because they knew one of them
Must be their dead child… Those who smile
Knew the spirit
Was fill with happiness…
You ask me again
Who put up the stars
That shine brightly
In the deep black sky
I replied, "The wishes of many child."
Every day
When a child makes a wish
A dazzling light will go up to the sky
And becomes a bright star
The one that shine the brightest
Would grant the wish it held for the child faster
"Now, child go to sleep." said the woman. "Hai, Mama." said the child. The woman looks up and saw Kanna. Kanna hasn't had time to hide before the woman saw her.
"Hello, who are you?" asked the woman. Kanna aware that she couldn't hide anymore, replied, "Kanna."
"Your name's Kanna? "Kanna gave her a slight nod. "My name's Sake." said the woman. Both of them were in silence for a few minutes before Kanna spoke, "Would you sing me a song? " Sake was surprised at the child's request but gave her a nod anyway.
The next night, Kanna went to visit Sake again and this procedure continues every night. Naraku never suspected her of her action because she was his most trustworthy child.
Until one day, Kanna went to visit Sake and found her crying bitterly at a corner.
Kanna went to her and say, "Why are you crying? " Sake looked at Kanna and said, "My child died today" Kanna was speechless. She doesn't know how to console her.
Instead, she sat down beside her and sings the song that Sake always sings to her.
Sunshine dances between the clouds
And pours into the plains…
The season has just begun
Run up the voice of my friend
And there, as I turn to her
Is always her smiling face
Where the brightest sun always shines
As I walk in the street
In the freezing winter
You encourage me naturally
And helped me so many times
Like you…Just like you…
I want to be someone
Who can give courage to others
After Kanna finishes singing the song, she found Sake looking at her with a happy yet sad face. "Thank you. For the song." Both sat in silence for a while. Then Sake spoke, "You had a sweet voice, like an angel singing." Then Kanna said, "Thank you."
The next night, Kanna went to Sake's house again. As she approaches the hut, Kanna saw that Sake was waiting for her. They went inside the hut and sat on the bed to chat. "I'm going to leave tomorrow morning at dawn. This place is too painful to stay on. " said Sake. Kanna nodded, she understands. "Are you aware that I'm a youkai ?" asked Kanna. Sake seems to be taken aback by the brought up of the subject but answer calmly, "Yes, I'm aware. From the fact that you only come late at night to visit me and your ghostly appearance."
Both sat in silent. Then Sake spoke, "Should we sing a goodbye song?" Kanna nodded her head. And they sing,
Goodbye, my friend
This is the last song
We are singing together
But this is not going to be the final song
We are singing together
I know someday
We are going to meet again
Again, we shall sing together
At that time we meet
Our Goodbye song
After Sake left, Kanna always went on top of a tree and sings. She doesn't know that her song had given happiness to people who heard her sings. Her's and Sake's songs.
