OK. I don't feel like doing a poem from Kaede's POV, so this is from everyone's point of view as follows:

^ = Inuyasha; % = Sango; F = Shippo; & = Kagome; = Miroku

This is supposed to be after everyone else has died and they all meet up in heaven, they get all mushy, etc. **R&R**

& Gods, I hate that I did this to everyone

I only wanted peace

As I see you all now

I wonder if I am the reason that your faces are covered in lines

% You weren't what did this to us

We did it to ourselves

By having kids

And keeping up with our work

() I never understood

I missed you so much

I wanted my mommy back

I think that your love is the one to blame

^ If you had been with her

She wouldn't have been so sad

I had to kill the thing that held my mate's soul

In it's gruesome jaws

That's what you say

We will have to trust you on that

It *was* your sword that she took her life with

I do still have reason to doubt

& I watched old memories of his

On the deities mirror

And I know that he speaks the truth

Sango, you must apologize for all that I am grateful

%But how can one apologize for an action that

One is not sorry for committing

I do not regret what I did

By killing him with my own hands

We know that it granted you pleasure

But do you remember the night on which you killed him

It wasn't any normal night

You took advantage of the only night that he had a weakness

^ You tried to kill me on the new moon

And wounded me so badly that I could not recover

Even after I was a demon again

The whole process was painful

& But we will all forgive each other

We will put the past behind us

It has been so long yet

We are together again as a family should be

Let us have it stay that way

***A/N*** Dorky? Yes. Pointless? Yes. Will it satisfy the 'customers'? Who knows. PLEASE REVIEW SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO WALLOW IN SELF-PITY!! (stupid 100% [Flamer of all Flames] he/she brought this on, did you know that?)
