It is raining.

Kagura longs to be free of that rain.

Sesshomaru longs to destroy the rain.

Ultimately they both want it gone.

---

It is raining again and Kagura is wet

She goes to him to dry herself, only to find herself never wanting to leave.

"You are dry." He states though unwilling to let her go.

She sticks her hand out in the rain and reprimands, red eyes sparkling. "You lie."

He wants to keep her out of the rain forever.

---

The next time it rains, she is struck with cruel realization that the rain will never stop.

This time it is he who finds her.

"It will never stop." She whispers leaning against him tiredly. The numbness is engulfing her and soon she won't be able to breathe.

Sesshomaru reminds himself that her death was inevitable. That she was a tool that had been used up.

He lets her lean on him nonetheless.

---

This rain is the immobilizing kind.

She is leaving the rain, and possibly him.

The rain doesn't bother him, for he holds his umbrella. He tries holding it over her but it snaps. At that moment she cracks the ice in his chest.

He is so weary of things breaking.
