Kayura's Lament
Why did you have to die?
It's so unfair
Why did you have to fade?
I keep asking these things
Over and over I contemplate our fate
I desperately need the answers
Why…?
I am alive
You had to die
You saved my life
You didn't have to
I was the enemy after all
I was weak
First the amulet
Then the possession…
I was the perfect doll
If Talpa wished it I made it so
That was all I was- a doll
Then there was you
The Ancient One's successor
Taking my place after his death
You saw the truth
You learned of my identity
A difficult choice was made
Anubis…
The Ancient One saved your life
He showed you the emptiness of cruelty
It was the ultimate act of repentance
You gave your life so I could have mine
Now I'm in control of my own fate
Anubis…
I should be the one who's dead
It wasn't me to whom you owed
I take up the shakujo
I take up the armor of the Spring Ogre
I've become the Ronin Ancient One
Love
That is my virtue
Is it not fitting?
When you exorcised Badamon I felt it
The mark you left on my heart that day…
That mark is now my Ronin virtue
Love
Love is the mark you made on my heart
It took death for me to find love
This is my punishment for being so weak
The price for becoming Talpa's doll
I hate myself for killing you
Anubis…
I love you
For saving my life
I'll look after things for you
And lay down my life to protect the peace
You have nothing to worry about so rest well
Rest well…
Rain Crystal: This is my first Ronin Warriors piece in nearly 3 years! I was reading the first (and only) piece I did, a KayuraAnubis fic, and felt inspired to write another. I think this turned out well but I'll let you be the judge. So go on and judge, please review! Thank you very much!
