Disclaimer: I do not own any of the InuYasha characters. Neither do I own the song Cold by Lacuna Coil.
This was just something that came into my head while listening to this song. It's just a short little drabble about Sesshoumaru's thoughts after Rin dies.
Skin so cold
I knew you'd go away
and now I put you down to lay
nothing to feel for you
this was our last dance
I watched you as you died. You skin which had always been so warm, became icy cold. I had watched you as you grew up, from a small child, to a young woman, to an old women and finally until you died. You should have died as a small child but I saved from you death. I never knew why I did it. All I knew was that I was glad that I did. But I knew that one day you would die. And now you have I have buried you along with all feeling for you. All that remains is the memories and my last moment with you.
Closer and closer, it's time to surrender
to the desire that you cannot mention
don't try to breathe
don't try to run away
When you were young women, I saw the look in your eyes. I knew what you felt for me. It was the same thing that I felt for you. But you were human and I could never surrender to this feeling. It would have made me weak. I could mention it and I couldn't run away from it all I could do was bury it within my like I have so many times before.
But I'm reaching for the sky (going to fly)
won't you please stay
I never though before about what it would be like after you died. I wish I didn't have to find out. I tried once again to revive you with Tenseiga, but it wouldn't work like it did last time. This time it was your time to go. But I would have done anything to have to stay.
With a smile I watch you go
you'll never know I didn't cry
with a smile I saw you die
you'll never know I didn't cry
When you died I didn't cry. You would never know that I didn't cry. But I did smile not because you were gone. No, you being gone left me numb inside. I smiled because I knew I could always have the memories of all the time I had spent with you. When I first met you and you smiled at me despite your own pain. When you would pick flowers and give them to me. I would always take them just to see you smile. When you grew up and became a young women and how you would do anything to please me.
No more fear
they said you were so weak
and now I put you down to lay
nothing to feel for you
this was our last chance
All the other demons thought I was weak for keeping you. Said a human was weak and that I should just get rid of you. But I could never have done that. You as a human maybe were weak in strength but in spirit you were stronger than any demon I ever knew. Now you are gone, in your dying moments I knew it was my last chance to tell you but I didn't. I still carried on pretending that I felt nothing. Now I have buried you and I can tell you what I never could when you were alive.
"I love you, Rin."
