A/N: Konnichiwa, minna-san! Watashi wa IC-chan, and I'm here with a
brand new fic of a different sort! I've decided to try my hand at poetry,
and my first work is a poem in Shippou's POV, reflecting on his feelings
about his dad. It's a bit sad and angsty, but I don't think it'll make
anyone cry.
Also, sorry if the words don't rhyme very well. I tried my hardest
and I'm pretty proud of it, but it still looks a bit odd. Probably because
it's poetry ... ^_~ Ah, well. Don't forget to review! Ja ne!

Disclaimer: Nope, I still don't own Inuyasha. Let's all face the truth
- the day I own Inuyasha will be the day that humans fly ... *watches amazedly
as Miroku soars out of Sango's dressing room and lands offset*
Okay, let me rephrase that. The day I own Inuyasha will be the day
humans sprout wings. *Miroku gets up, sporting a glittering pair of prop
fairy wings; IC looks down at her script in disgust and throws it to the
ground* Argh, I give up! *stomps off*
Dedicated to: My ... self. Yes, I have finally sunk so low as to dedicate this to myself. But give me a break, guys - it was my birthday on February 2! Inuyasha chocolate cake for everyone! *waves banners happily* ^__________^
Special Thanks to: Renegade Darkness - Oh ... Erm, to tell you
the truth, I don't know whether to be happy or sad that I made you cry.
^_^' Thanks for risking your life to review! ^_~
Angelic Tears - Yay! A reviewer! And I adore that movie!
I still have to see the second one, though ... Anyway, thanks for the wonderful
review! Ecstatic that you liked it! ^.^
Yashira - Okay, before I start, I need to say three words, 'Oh,
my gosh.' I swear, when I saw your penname on the review, I screamed into
a pillow for two straight minutes. Then I laughed like a maniac, screamed
again, and finally calmed down enough to reply. ^_^ I'm ecstatic that you
actually reviewed my story (I'm actually not quite over you reading
it, either). Thank you so much! And I loved that quote too. My favorite
from the whole story! Thanks again (and also to Aile Anna! The best!)!
Amaya-san - Wow! Thanks for the lovely review! And I can also
relate - I've always wanted to play with Inuyasha's ears. And of course
I'll keep on writing! ^_^ Arigato!
I wish that you were still here with me; I wish that I had known
That the day I went exploring was the day that you would go
Everything was just so happy; the day had started great
I asked to look for acorns, but you told me to wait
I'm sorry that I didn't listen to what you had to say
But the promise of new acorns was too tempting for me to stay
I'm sure that I had been gone for more than a few hours
But I was just too busy playing in the bright spring flowers
After I had collected my fill, I ran right back to you
But when I saw just what had happened, I couldn't believe it was true
Two fearsome youkai stood in the remains of our old home
The short one had your skin wrapped around his fat hipbone
They sniggered at my misery and left me on the ground
Till I let my sadness out with one long, painful sound
That same day, I vowed revenge on those two, low youkai
But even up to now the memory still makes me cry
You were avenged by a hanyou, whose sword took careful aim
But even though he killed them, I still hide away in shame
I'm sorry I was disobedient, my love rarely ever showed
For if I hadn't done those things, you might never have had to go
Though now I know that you're with Ma, and you are very happy
I hope, as I grow older, you will grow proud of me
And one last thing I never got to say while you were alive
I miss you, I love you, and I always will, for the rest of my life
A/N: Gah, I'm pathetic ... *sniffles into a tissue* I've been watching far too many sad movies nowadays ... Anyway, the moral of this poem is that you should tell someone your true feelings as soon as possible, because life is a very fragile thing. It can be given and taken away at any moment ...
Please don't forget this message, and also to review ... Domo arigato gozai masu ... Sayonara.

Quote of the Day (ironic, ain't it?):
Shippou: (pauses for a moment) Come to think of it … how come you and
Kagome spend so much time together, and yet you never seem to bathe at
the same time?
Inuyasha: Eh …
Shippou: Think of all the fun things you can do when there's two of
you?
