Never Angry

I'm sure you think that the only reason I brought you back was to ease the pain in Inuyasha's heart, that somewhere in me I hated you and wanted you to stay dead but felt bad for him. If that is what you think then I guess I've hidden my feelings fairly well. When you first returned and Inuyasha focused all his attention on you I was jealous but never angry. I couldn't get angry with you. Something inside of me just would not allow it at all. It was something that for a long time I didn't understand.

Do you believe in fate? I use to think it was just a bunch of hogwash. That it was one of many of my grandfather's childish fables. After getting to know you though, I think I'm starting to believe. We may have been born centuries apart but my going through that well and meeting you may have been an act of destiny.

Many things bind you and I. We share the same soul, we have the same responsibility, and deep down we are bound by a feeling. This feeling can't be described with words. It's a feeling that keeps us close in spite of all the things that keep us apart. This feeling conquers time, death, and the hurt in us. This feeling will keep us together for eternity and will never leave us, I am sure of it.

In the beginning, I knew you hated me. You hated how Inuyasha protected me, how I inherited the duty of guardian of the shikon no tama. You hated me with a passion. I never hated you though. At first I admired you and your strength, then I grew to like you and then…I fell in love, a kind of love that I'll never have for Inuyasha, Kouga, or Houjou, a love that made it impossible for me to be angry with you. I loved you before I really knew you and I want to stay here with you until both our lives are done.
