Kagero's speech – Italics
READ THIS FIRST: The story's flow is like the bold print is a completely different dialogue. And the normal print and Italics go together. It's kinda like Jubei's talking to himself in his mind. And the bold is his subconscious .
It was like blow to my entire body. A blow that hurt to every inch of my soul.
It was the first time anyone had treated me like a woman and not as a ninja warrior that was completely expendable.
It was almost as if I could still feel her. I know I can't though.
It left me sore. Left my body hollow. My bones weak and brittle .My guts non-existent.
I knew I would become more attractive to you if we stayed together, but I needed that from you.
She needed me. I didn't know I needed her, until it was too late.
Jubei, I'm so glad I met you.
It left me wishing. Hoping. Anything.
You were the only one who didn't care about my poisoned soul, for an antidote, or compassion.
I cared. A little too much for my reputation.
The pain let up. But not the mark.
I'm sorry.
She's wrong. She shouldn't be. I shouldn't be either.
Not a scar.
I'm happy.
Not a scar anyone can see though.
But I'm not.
