For the love of a miko

Two lives intertwined in a quest for love, acceptance and a woman who would change their lives forever.

He was lost

Wandering in a world that didn't want him

Didn't need him

Couldn't explain his existence

So he suffered

And became the monster they thought he was

Wishing for the power to change his destiny

Just for a moment not to be. . .

Invisible

But he was empty

He knew they wanted him to die

And in time he wanted it too. . . .

He was weak

Trapped in a world that should serve him

Should want him

Couldn't explain his persistance

So he would make them suffer

And become the monster they didn't know was there

Wishing for the power to change his destiny

Just for a moment to be. . .

Invinsible

But he was imprisoned

He knew they didn't care if he died

And in time he didn't care either. . .

She was pure light

A ray of sunshine illuminating his dark world

Making him feel things

Emotions never meant for the likes of him

Companionship

Hope

Love?

Her presence warmed the heart they claimed he didn't have

Gave him back what he'd lost

His will to live

To live for her smile. . .

She was pure fire

A flicker of flame heating his ever cold existence

Making him feel things

Emotions only mean for the two of them

Lust

Hunger

Love?

Her hardened eyes captured the heart he didn't know he had

Took the one thing he had left

His willingness to die

To die without her . . .

But he was nothing

The world had taught him that

To be everything in her eyes

And worthless in his own

Still only half a man

Never good enough

Tainted creature

To gain what he wanted most

He would give what little power he had

To become worthy of her

To love her

To become human. . .

But he was useless

The world had taught him that

To be pitiful in her eyes

And limitless in his own

Still only a shell of a man

Never strong enough

Impotent creature

To gain what he wanted most

He would steal what little power he could

To become stronger for her

To possess her

To become hanyou. . .

All for an everlasting love

A love that saved both their dying spirits

Only to lose what remained

For this Onigumo would kill his own heart

For this Inuyasha would damn his eternal soul

For she who wandered the world of the living and the dead

For the one woman who in the end was willing to kill them both

For the love of a miko

For Kikyou
