In times of war,

there is much death.

One often smells it

on a still man's breath.

Wielders of swords,

prepare for a dance.

Wielders of spears,

prepare your lance.

On my word, understand?

I will lead and guide you.

Follow my orders,

and follow them through.

While our armies

are clashing,

each and every

soldier lashing,

I, the one

in command,

will continue to fight

despite your demand.

Traveling east with our

backs to the west,

our alliance is shown

on what is our crest,

and though I fear many

will flee from me,

I now know what, perhaps,

our fate may be.

With my son's miko

on our side,

we will wait

patiently and bide

our time.

While we desperately wish

for victory, we ask for

no more than we can dish.

Our friends now returned,

there is no rush

though our people may

urge us with a pleading push.

Listen to my-no, our howl!

Do you not hear?

Our time of triumph

over evil is near.

So the Second Ark has ended. :3 I want to thank you all for your continued support as we enter the final ark: the Third Ark, which is where things get truly serious. Things will change greatly around the Silver Castle for poor Sango and Inuyasha's temper will be as wonderful as ever. XD

So...never got the results back for that one poem, but this one I absolutely love how it turned out! This poem in particular is from Toga's POV, so. :3

No worries, this isn't over quite yet. :D

~~OO~~II~~OO~~

Thanks to all reviewers! :3
