Inuyasha:
The path that I walk has always been hard
So I learned early on how to guard,
My heart and mind from all those around me
Who were so blinded by hate they ignored my pleas;
For help and guidance I could only depend
On my mortal mother but even she left in the end,
Only absolute power could keep me warm
Could silence the turmoil, Could calm my inner storm;
For years and years I roamed over the land
Bringing death to demons and humans with my bare hands,
Until I heard of a special jewel which could grant my every desire
Could make me a full demon, Could quench my inner fire;
But them I met Kikyo, the guardian of the jewel
At once my plans were shot; I had lost my will to rule,
Kikyo filled all of my thoughts, my every waking hour
For her I was willing to give it all up, renounce my demonic power;
I felt free and accepted, no longer the odd one out
Love was so fully in my heart, it banished all my doubts,
When I went to meet her, to surrender to our love
She showed me she was just like them, the race she was a part of
And as I hung there, pinned by her arrow to that tree
I longed to cry out to her, to the one that had betrayed me.
Kikyo:
My life before the Sacred Jewel was filled with fun and mirth
Playing with my village friends and connecting to the earth,
My training to become a priestess, took up all my time
The miko told me I had to start now, while I was still in my prime;
To protect the villagers from demons, that was to be my task
I had to put on a brave face and hide my true self behind a mask,
But my heart longed to burst free, it longed for something more
To be a normal girl with normal problems, that's what it longed for;
Alas that life was no longer for me and I could never go back
So I focused my time on the village to make up for what I lacked,
When I was presented the Sacred Jewel my future grew even bleaker
I had a really terrible feeling and my resolve grew even weaker;
He came to me when I was weakest, at my worst and depleted
Yet he did not take advantage of my state, he actually retreated,
He made his position clear, from the very start
He wanted to posses the Sacred Jewel in order to kill his human heart;
I could never finish him off; I always left him pinned to trees
Thus our tenuous partnership was born, while we sat enjoying the breeze,
We fought together side by side, day after day after day
Until I offered to make him human, his demon half to slay;
I thought that he was all for it, he heartily agreed
But when I went to meet him, he revealed his demonic greed,
And so I pierced his breast, with my Arrow of Sealing
The betrayal I felt within my heart left me hurt and reeling.
I hope that you like it. This is my very first posting. Please R&R.
