Don't Say My Name
Don't say my name
She'll skip a beat
Through her cracks
My hatred seeps
Not the same
As I once was
Don't let me be
Your sorrows cause
"It is her." He said.
"Do not call out for me. Do not say my name." I tried to warn him.
"Ki-Kikyo" But no, he could not hear my pleas.
I knew I wouldn't be the same. I really tried to warn you. I truly did. I didn't want to hurt you. My love still held strong. But no, you forgot your worry for the girl the moment you saw my likeness. Do you not realize how you hurt her?
"The moment you said her name, her heart skipped a beat, and Kikyo's soul sprang fourth." Damn you Urasue.
And I returned to my likeness, my current vessel. A body of clay to match my hardened soul. Upon the return to a body, the purity of wisdom gained in the afterlife is defiled. Nothing so pure as the wisdom of the heavens can remain on earth. I was forced to forget the truths, only the tainted knowledge i had gained could remain. When that body dies, that tainted knowledge would go to hell. With a piece of my being in hell, how can I be whole? A pit in my heart. I could not remember the goodness that had come to my soul since my death. For when one is reincarnated, they see all that has happened in the new life, they simply have no influence. The board is reset, and a new game is played. I was not supposed to be part of that game.
"You vile beast. You loathsome half man." The wound reappeared. "Why did you betray me InuYasha!"
I'm so sorry, I could not remember. All that remained were my memories of a past life. I couldn't remember what I had seen through Kagome's eyes. Don't let me hurt you. Destroy this unholy recreation. Decimate my body. Kill me. Let me die once again.
"You and I, were fated never to meet again."
And that should have been so. We should not have met once more. Stop this madness. Go on living InuYasha. Live for you. Live. Live for me.
You said my name
She skipped a beat
These same mistakes
You must not repeat
A/N: I had some thoughts about how she knew she would be evil again during episode 15, and I felt that I had to write about them. The idea had been bouncing around in my head for a while, But after reading "Leaves of Time" by Aamalie, I felt it was the right time to write it. (Yay for inspiration. Too bad I'm not inspired to write more of my other story right now.) Sorry for any mistakes. I didn't feel like sending this to my beta for fear of losing the inspiration to post it. (Yes, I actually need to be inspired to post things if they are one-shots) So please review, I like reviews, and I got a nasty second degree sunburn on my face the other day and its all blistery which I don't like, so I really need something I like today. R&R! Ja ne!
