The Second Sin: Envy
Kagura stood on the edge of the cliff looking out over the moonlit forest. A stiff breeze blew from behind her and she closed her eyes enjoying the feel of the wind as it blew against her. She opened her eyes to watch a leaf flutter along the wind and felt a pang of wistfulness. It is free…as I fear I never shall be.
Behind her Kanna stood watching her sister impassively. Thoughts twirled through her normally blank mind as she gazed at the beautiful woman ahead of her. Kagura is so lucky. She has the body if a beautiful woman and has power to fight. She holds emotions like…like someone real…Kanna lowered her eyes to the mirror and for the first time ever felt something stir inside her. A single tear managed to leak from her black eyes to land on the crystal surface of the mirror.
The Wind…Kagura…The Void…Kanna…Is that all I am? A void? She thought raising her face to again stare at the back of Kagura. What I wouldn't give to be you sister. She thought then turned and headed back into Naraku's barrier to the empty castle.
Kagura heard her sister leave and sighed deeply. She pulled a feather from her hair and grew it so she could fly up into the air. She lay back on the soft down and let the feather follow the breezes that reached high into the air. To be truly free…To truly be the wind. A face, so coldly handsome, so emotionless flashed into her mind and she found herself wishing for things she could never have. Sesshomaru…what is it like to be so powerful that no one can stop you? She held out a hand and let the wind caress her fingers. I am the wind!
She settled the feather back on the cliff and turned to follow her sister back inside but paused to watch the leafs' last twirl before it was out of her sight.
Sorry about the length. It didn't turn out as well as I thought it would but I do like it anyway.
The question: Which one truly suffers from Envy?
The answer to the first chapter was Jaken. Though, yes Sesshomaru is prideful, the one who boasts the most in that was Jaken.
