Mirror

Izayoi hums a sweet lullaby and she gently runs her fingers through her young son's silvery hair. He curls against her side and runs his tiny-clawed hands through her inky hair. They are entwined mirrors, skewed reflections of another time.

She smiles and the light dims in her eyes.

"Mama?"

With twin voids she gazes down at her dozing son. "Hmm?" she hums absentmindedly, her thoughts on one distant and departed. Her son speaks again, but Izayoi does not hear. Her voice lowers, grows hollow, to match her eyes. "You look so much like your father."

Inuyasha tries to reply, but his words are smothered beneath his mother's lips.
