Author's Notes:
Okay, Akira here... I'm back to update this fic after a long, long time without inspiration... It struck me last night at 1:00 in the morning, so for those who like this fic, this is how devoted I am! None the less, I've written it, and you can't ask more out of me... I've been working on other stuff, which isn't coming out too well either, except for the books I've been reading... Now, earlier on someone asked for a poem by Kisa, so this is it... Enjoy!

Chapter 4 – Why Can't We Laugh? - Kisa's Poem
Why Can't We Laugh?
By: Kisa Sohma
Can you look at me,
And really say you're all right?
Can you say:
"Everything's fine..."
Can you smile,
And laugh with simple joy?
Can you really tell me,
Without any doubt,
That you are happy;
Truly happy?
Can't we all say,
For once,
That we're happy?
And forget the past?
Just look at me.
Tell me the truth.
Stop hiding.
Please stop...
Why can't we all just smile?
And forget...
Can't we just laugh;
Pretend nothing ever happened?
Look at me.
Tell me.
Laugh; Smile.
Say something...
Please,
Look me in the eye...
Tell me why are you hiding?
Tell me, why can't we laugh?
Okay, so that's it... There's Kisa's poem... Not as long as the others, but I believe quite fulfilling... Though it was also sad... So, well, let's see... So far Kyo's poem was my favorite, but that's opinion only... Kyo's was the most lifting, but I haven't felt that much optimism in a while, so don't expect many more like his... His was really a wonder... Anyway, just review... Flame, comment, question, advise, anything really, doesn't matter... Oh, and you could also say whose poem you want next... Whoever you want, tell me, and I'll try... But if inspiration doesn't strike, you're at a lost... And I may just write whosever's strikes me first... So yeah... Bye-bye!
