The Mother Goose Escapades

No. 40

As I walked by myself,

And talked to myself,

Myself said unto me,

"Look to thyself

Take care of thyself

For nobody cares for thee."


Inuyasha nestled underneath the crook of his mother's arm. She smelled odd; there was something about her his young nose couldn't quite identify. Morning had come and gone, but no matter what he did, she would not wake. His small hand reached up and stroked her graying hair.

"Mama, wake up," Inuyasha whispered. His nose twitched and he buried his face against her side, bawling.

Later that evening, Inuyasha simply ran. Far from home, and his mother, the only person who cared for him, and loved him, and still left him.

He would have to take care of himself now.
