Fallen Embers
Burning lives of the innocent,
Stealing an impure pearl.
Explosions and fire line the village.
"Inuyasha!"
Piercing through a heart draped in sorrow.
"Kikyo…how could…I thought…?"
Staggering to live,
Limited amount of life left.
Betrayal.
It screamed at her,
Tore at her.
I don't deserve this.
Aided to stand,
Knowing when death would come.
"Take the jewel, Kaede, and burn it with my body. It must not fall into the hands of those who would abuse it."
Last breath,
Dying filled with hatred.
"Sister!"
I will join you soon, Inuyasha…
Death.
