We were not fools

People ask why I couldn't see. Why I couldn't see through Naraku's deception and know that my true love would never harm me. I was young, a priestess with a lot of responsibility. I never thought that I'd have time for love.

But then Inuyasha came along. Whether or not it was love at first sight, I'll leave that for you to determine. But what is certain is that our love ended with a fatal blow. A successful deception.

I was fooled by Naraku, yes. But not because I was a fool. I was fooled because I like other people have emotions when you believe you're betrayed. It's how you choose to act on these emotions that makes you different. I acted. I acted and nailed my only love to a tree because I thought that he betrayed me. He went after the shikon jewel because he thought that I had betrayed him.

We were fooled yes. But we weren't fools.

I was naive. Inuyasha was hard headed. But we were young and believed that the other cared. When you believe someone cares for you and hope that they might even love you because you love them, the burden is very heavy when you are betrayed. Even if it is that you thought that you were betrayed.

Inuyasha and I were fooled. Oh yes. Inuyasha and I were fooled. But we were never fools.
