A/N: A poem 'written' by Inuyasha... I think you'll be surprised on how this one ends...

Youkai, hanyou, ningen
Which did I want to be again?
My minds all jumbled, so unclear
Path forgotten over the year
It seems so long since that day
When you first stumbled my way
And set me free from the spell
For a reason none can tell
Why did you let me go that night
When held to me with death in sight?
Was it fear that made you grasp
The arrow of a miko passed?
Or was it fate and not fear
That freed me just this past year?
Perhaps it was for love unknown,
Or out of sympathy alone
I do not know and cannot say
Even to this very day
How and why it came to be
That we met just for you to leave
We had our share of good and bad
As we traveled across the land
To collect the pieces of a jewel
Before they fell in hands so cruel
In the end, evil did lose
But I do not see the use
What is there to rejoice for
When you smile and say once more
"I must go home, again I fear,"
And leave me waiting for you here
In a time of pain and grief
Our journey so lively and yet so brief
I do not understand your actions
Your temperment or your affections
So, again I ask, why did you free
A pain-in-the-ass hanyou like me?

A/N: I don't know why, but I wanted a little laugh and the end gave me that... It's the first actual Inuyasha poem I've written in a while and I'm rather... impressed that I could still do any poem regarding Inu... I've been focusing more on my own life when in the 'poem-writing' mood... -shrugs- I don't know... oh well.
Hope you enjoyed it.
