Turtlequeen2: Since you all liked my other Naraku based poem: Embrace the Darkness, I decided to make another one! This one it's about Kagura! So this is for all you Kagura lovers out there!
Kagura: -smirks- So you finally realized that I worth writing about?
Turtlequeen2: -rolls eyes- Yea, yea. It's just not enough that I write Sesshoumaru romance stories about you is it?
Kagura: -narrows eyes- What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Turtlequeen2: -heaves sigh- Well, I do not own Kagura nor any other characters off of the anime/manga. I only own this poem!
Kagura: Answer me damn it!
Note: In case you didn't know already, this is all in Kagura's POV.
The Heart of the Wind
The beating of the heart
The one thing signifying life
The flow of the wind
The breeze that uncovers hidden life within the deep forest
If this is true...
Then what about me?
Aren't I made of flesh and bone?
Don't I breathe?
Or am I really dead, thinking that I am alive?
I don't have a heart
I'd like to say that in a figurative way
But I am in no circumstances to say such
By my bitter smirks
And crude remarks
I'm cover up my weaknesses
Sometimes I truly do wonder
Is having a heart a disadvantage?
I see Sesshoumaru state that so many times through his actions
And yet, by the sight of that little human girl
He shows that he lied
It seems that everyone but me has a heart
Well everyone but me and Naraku
The heartless bastard!
What angers me most is that he intended to give away his heart
While he holds mine!
We have no hearts and yet we are nothing alike
Not that I want to be like him in ANY sense!
The difference between us is that he actually enjoys having no heart!
He takes pleasure in flaunting around
Showing off that he has no known weakness
That he can't be killed
While he smirks at my suffering and pain
Most of which he caused
One flick of his wrist and the worse imaginable thing happens
My heart appears in his hands
Pulsing with life
Yet so dull and detached
The only good thing from that is
It shows that I am indeed alive
Though at that moment, I wish that it'd stop pulsing
Stop twitching
So I can die
It'd save me from the humiliation
And the unbearable pain
Is that the only way I can receive my freedom?
Am I destined to die by his hands?
Am I faulted by the things that he forced me to do?
Why me?
Why couldn't he create some other incarnation to make his subordinate
Rather than me
How ironic
Making me the Wind
And yet stripping me of my freedom
I am the only wind with no heart
The Heart of the Wind
That's what makes the breeze so peaceful
So pleasant
So alive
It's what creates the beauty around the world
The rustle of leaves
The flow of the ocean
The magnificence of the thunder storms
It's in the heart of every living soul
Their own everlasting breath of wind
And yet here I am
Standing numbly
Not able to do a damn thing
Not able to flow with life
While I watch the lives of those around me
Revolve and change
Naraku knows my sorrow
My hatred of him
I know that he hates me
Why doesn't he just get it over with!
One last squeeze of my heart and I can fall over dead
But the question is
Do I want to die?
I want my freedom
Yet I do not desire death
But around him I cannot help such thoughts
It's like he's making me think these beliefs
Like he's sucking out my will to live
Is that his intent?
To let me slowly die because he hates me so much?
I should laugh at that
He's truly a fool then
To think that taking away my will would hurt me
Does he not realize that because he holds my heart in his hands
That it only makes me look forward to the day that I die?
As long as I am his puppet
I shall continue to struggle against my chains
Until I can snap them and gain my freedom
Even if it's for a few seconds or more
It'd be worth it
Death is better than living as a slave
Feeling the anger well up within me because of seeing Naraku mock me
By holding my heart in front of me
Makes me realize
I will do anything in my power to escape
I will do anything in my power to make sure I can breathe
To finally breathe the Heart of the Wind
