Inamorata
by Eternal Angel
3.
Interlude: Song
When they were still a company of three, she used to sing. At first, Mugen found it annoying (although he found lots of things that she would do very annoying) and would scold at her and tell her to 'shut the fuck up'. It was enough that he had to deal with her talking non-stop. However, that never did stop her from singing. If anything, she would sing even louder.
Eventually, Jin and he got used to her singing and eventually learned how to tune her out (which they had already done when she went on and on with her talking).
She would always be singing the same song over and over again. It was a song her mother's mother had taught her mother, who then taught her. She told him (when he told her that she should at least sing a different song once in awhile) that the reason she had to sing this song as much as she could was to make sure that she wouldn't forget it. This song was one of the only things she had left of her mother. It would be a song she would later teacher her own child. It was a song of tradition.
It's been years since then. The three of them had broken up and now they were each walking their separate paths. He hasn't seen them since the day they split apart and he doesn't remember too much about the time they spent together.
Though sometimes, he thinks he hears bits and pieces of that song she use to sing stuck in the wind. And, when he does, he cannot help but search for her in the crowd.
Inamorata (noun) - a woman with whom one is in love or has an intimate relationship.
A drabble written for Caithion in response to her lyric meme. It's suppose to be "Island Song! My tears / Are carried on the wind". It was written before I wrote Inamorata, however I realize that it would fit with this and so I had to post it up as well. Especially since I want to try and reference to this song later. smiles
