A/N: Just saw the episode where Sango almost kills her brother…was inspired by Kohaku's mind refusing to forget his sister's face…
Moments
I can't forget that woman's face. There's something about her that I can't put my finger on. There are moments when I can think clearly
and I remember bits and pieces of my former life…some of them so bittersweet, I fall back into numbness happily. But I still cannot
escape the memory of her tears.
Why am I drawn to this woman…this enemy of my master's? I am ordered to kill her on sight…but I don't. In all other things, I obey him,
but this one girl, I cannot slay. Sometimes I want so badly to get rid of her so that I can be at peace, but my heart rebels at that thought so
violently that I run.
I accept my inability; no…I accept my willingness to forget those horrible images that float through my head when my master lets some of
his control over me slip. Yet…part of me wants so badly to remember…to face my past…but in truth, I am a coward. I would rather
serve what I know is evil rather than be tortured by what seems right. Still…there are moments, crystal clear, where I yearn to see that
woman's face smile at me…instead of the tears that encounter me whenever we meet…
