Soi's Thoughts Part 3; Soi's POV
I looked out the window and sighed. I was sick of the rain. Imagine a sorceress of lightning sick of storms! But at the same time, it reminded me of all that I'd lost, what could have been. There were so many other roads that I should have taken.
Outside my room, I heard Nakago-sama talking to our miko. He swore he loved the girl and would serve her faithfully, all in his calm cool voice. How often I had heard him talk of love! And the words rang false in my ears.
I suppose that at times I felt bad for Yui-sama, for I knew how Nakago used her. I knew that those men in the city had not hurt her. But even if that was what she believed, need she be so nasty to those who sought to do nothing but protect her? Or in the case of Suzaku no miko, care for her? No, Yui did not get much sympathy.
My fellow seishi were a different matter. Most of us were young, and I knew that Nakago was using us all. Those poor twins, Amiboshi and Suboshi, were as young as our miko, I think. And Amiboshi died in an attempt to do what Nakago said was right. After the death of his brother, Suboshi. Well, I have never seen a soul torn apart quite as much as that poor boy.
Someone entering my room put an end to my thoughts, though I knew who was there. Nakago.
"Soi, Konan and Kutou are going to war. We must head out now." Such a calm, deep, cold voice. I knew him for what he was, so why did my heart still cling to the vision of him saving me. The vision of a hero?
But with another sigh, I pulled out my armor and donned it. In truth, even then I doubt I wanted to fight the Suzaku no Shichi Seishi, but my heart seemed to keep me from doing what it knew was right. I suppose I knew I would never come back.
In my heart, I filled with dread
Yet nothing ever had I said I knew I would not return
Yet followed you, forever on
So, what did you think? I know it wasn't all that great, but I'm working on it! ^_^ to be continued. Ja ne, minna-san!
