Kohaku's poem

by window-into-the-past

This is about Kohaku's thoughts on his only memory of Sango. Set after Naraku tried to use Kohaku to kill Kagome to steal the shikon shards.

Kohaku

Memories fade from my mind,

trickling through my hands like water.

but I do not try to stop them.

Slowly, all of them disappear,

All but one.

A woman stares at me,

her eyes filling with tears.

"Kohaku", she calls sadly "Why!"

That lady's face is all I remember.

I wish I could forget.
