REACTIONS VI- MITSUKAKE


I couldn't help him. It was too late by the time I got there... he was already gone.
I wanted to help him, to heal him, but there was no life left in his body. He had already left this life, gone on to the next.
I healed his wound, his clothes, so that he could have a proper burial. Miaka cried so hard that I felt sure the area would flood.
It saddens me that he had to die.. he was a good person. Perhaps he acted happier than he felt quite a lot, but he cheered people. He liked to make people happy, or at least take their mind off of the problems in life.
How the Gods could deign it worth it to destroy a person whose life was just beginning, who was just learning how to live, is beyond my comprehension.
It is a wound on my soul, one of the two people dear to me that I could not save. The people that I had to say goodbye to...
These wounds I will carry to my own grave.

A/N: Short 'cuz Mits is a man of few words and a really killer right hook. *rubs her arm and glares accusingly at Mitsukake, who shrugs* Anyway, please review! Next chapter.. the mystery person! Yeah right.
