A/N¡Dios Mío! I really catch my muse with her guard down!… Well, so be it! . Anyways, I think that all of you know this already, but anyways, BAD GRAMMAR! Bear with it! (English isn't my native language, it's Spanish).

A tip: in this fic, Inuyasha is still pinned to the Go Shimboku, having his beauty sleep… or his grouchy sleep in his case, whatever, Take your pick XD. :Misao-CG hugs Inuyasha:

I don't own Inuyasha and friends and foes, blah, blah, blah, they belong to Rumiko Takahashi-sama, blah, blah, blah, you all know about this!

"Kaede's Monologue."

I had a dream about you last night.

Take your mind out of the gutter, it was a vision, the kind that tells you something you must decipher, that's all, nothing else!

I don't know why I'm here. I shouldn't be, but I need to talk to you, I need to get these things out of my chest. I know that your are deaf to the world (but that is your fault! Don't blame me), and is very silly for me to say things here out loud, standing in front of you, saying these things to you, which concerned you in a very deep way, considering that… you can't hear, and you can't speak.

That You're deaf.

That You're dumb.

And blind.

You are dead!

It's been 10 years. I was 8 years old when you… well, you know, when you attacked us, and killed my Aneue. Or so they said, the elders… but I'm not quite sure… that day, it was very strange day. I've always had this sensation, this hunch inside my chest, that something smells fishy between the events of that day, it was just so tragic, so… schemed. Both of us lost someone we loved and cared deeply in a very harsh way, but, I know, deep inside my heart that this story isn't finish yet, and that fateful day was only the beginning of… of what? I know not, but it's big, I tell you.

That was only the beginning…

Once again. I had a dream about you last night… well, a vision better. I saw you happy, and in peace. Your soul was purified… You were a hanyou, not full human, not full youkai, just a happy hanyou.

The Shikon no Tama was in my vision too. And my Aneue. And there were others, but I didn't recognized them. That guy, Onigumo, was in my dream too. You know, that thief that Kikyou find almost dead and tried to help…

Funny. He disappeared right after yours and my sister's death. Hmpf, See if I care: he was a pain in the ass and I don't think he cold go far with his wounds, o, he is got to be dead anyways.

:sigh: Love triangles aren't good things. Yes, a love triangle! between a hanyou, a miko and a human thief.

Onigumo got a HUGE crush on Kikyou! Just like yours, but my dear Aneue… She…

Kikyou preferred you. You were the only one for her. She loved you deeply… but :sigh: she is dead now. Just like you. And maybe because of you.

Did you love her back then? Did you know how much she care for you? Did you care about her? I could never forget her face when we found her by this tree, because I never saw Aneue doing that before. She was crying, out loud… but… there was something odd about her… I think… that she…

If you were hearing this, you will probably bonk me in my head for saying this, but as years came by, and I found myself thinking about it, I reached my own conclusion about it. I have this idea, and I gave it a deep meditation to this and right now, not even a hundred of your bonks in my head could made me change my mind.

My sister stopped loving you the moment she shot that arrow to your chest…

… But she cried over you at that point! She was crying out loud! At the top of her lungs… Over you…

… No…

… She was crying for her. Why? Who knows.

There is something else. Want to know? No? Well, I'm going to tell you anyways: Kikyou died before her wounds killed her, her spirit flew away at the same time she shot the arrow.

What an awful arrow!

I repeat, I thought about this very deeply; so, don't take my conclusions lightly, Hanyou!

I was mad at you. Mad because of you. When Aneue died I was left alone. You know how it's like, you were alone too as a child. My world was shattered, my big sister, the one I admired, had been taken from me, and I know, I'm Sure, that her spirit never pass away, that her spirit is now restless because of you and for what happened that terrible day!

I was mad. Furious at you. Thought you loved my sister, and my sister was finally, truly happy having you around. I even had accept you as a member of my family… then… that day ruined all of our dreams…

I was enraged.

Not anymore.

Why? It's hard to explain… but that dream I told you about… gave the certain that; somehow, you're going to be awaken. I don't know when, but I know that you are going to fix this whole mess, from one way or another. And, if someone can appease my sister's restless spirit is you… my almost brother-in-law. That gave me peace.

:smiles: In my dream, you were some sort of 'grandson' to me… because I was an old lady.

Funny, you are my elder for at least 10 years. But still, I was your 'obaasan', but we aren't relatives… I cared for you as a grandson.

In my dream, there was a girl too in a funny strange green kimono-like. I couldn't saw her face, but she… I could feel that she loved you: loved you just because of you, and for who you are. She didn't want to change anything about you and she wanted you happiness. She loved you even more that Kikyou loved you, her love for you was so big, that… it has no match. You loved her back, maybe more intensely, and… in my vision, you two were kissing passionately and… the girl was big with your child.

The presence of the Shikon no Tama was everywhere, that girl, you and others protected it. :frowns: My Aneue's shadow was there too::sad: she was an evil being, a pity shadow, and a bad copy of my dear Aneue. That wasn't my sister, it was a mere shadow, but it had my sister's spirit. That's why I'm telling you that Kikyou's spirit is restless.

In my dream you got friends too, lot of them, and good friends. You had a pack and allies. You helped them, and they helped you. All of you had the same goal.

Most important. At some point of my dream, you appeased my Aneue's soul and put the Shikon no Tama in its right place. And protected our village, the Tama and later on, human kind.

Don't take me wrong, but, considering your temper and personality, I got to see that, I must see you protecting us to believe it :sigh:.

Why I'm here?… Since my sister's departure until this morning, I hated your guts will all of my being and miko powers. C'mon, you caused her death, rather we like it or not, and there were times I just could not resist the urge to come here to clipping your ears, to punch you in the nose and stab you, and cut you, and dropping lemon juice and garlic all over your bleeding wounds!

But I changed my mind. Because of the dream I had last night.

Listen to me, boy! Maybe you are my elder, but you aren't aging now and now I'm a bit older than you are, so, you must listen to me. I know that you are going to wake up from my Aneue's spell some day in the future you, so, if I'm still alive when that happen, don't expect me to be happy and cheerful about it… but… you can count with me, I will help you gladly, don't doubt for asking me for help… just take control that temper of yours, or I'm going to throw a rosary beads on your neck with a subduing spell on it, and believe me, that's NOT A WARNING::smiles:

I forgive you.

Wow… I feel kinda lighter right now!

:sighs: Good Bye, almost brother-in-law! I got to go back to the village. I'm the priestess now, got unfinished business… some kids are sick… See you in 40 years maybe!… until then, think about what you had done, think about a solution… and think about what you want to do in the future!

I have a feeling that, when you woke up, things are going to get jumpy…

Bye…

Fin.
