a/n: I don't know how I got inspired to write this, but I did. Oh well.

I'll be posting up a fanfic some time in the future (not anytime in the near future), and this poem does not mean that I'll kill off Kohaku in the end…I really haven't decided if he'll live or die yet.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha…unfortunately.

Okay, if you've read the summary, then you should already know that Naraku took the jewel shard out of Kohaku's back so that he could complete the jewel. So this is about Kohaku's feelings as he's dying, and he's apologizing to Sango for all the things he's done…

Don't cry, sister

Sister, I am sorry

But believe in what you see.

The blood that stains my clothing

Does not belong to me.

Sister, please forgive me

You are not the one to blame,

And now it's time I'm punished

For the lives that I did claim.

But please, sister, believe me

I never meant to kill.

All the things that I have done

Were done against my will.

I obeyed his orders

I followed his commands.

I have slain our father

With my own very hands.

I still hear the screaming

And the pleadings and the cries.

I still see you suffer

As the tears fall from your eyes.

The pain that bled within me

As I watched you cry,

Made me want to tremble

Made me want to die.

And now my wish is granted

As my heart slows in my chest.

And now all of your hurting

Will soon be put to rest.

Because once my heart stops beating

And my soul has slipped away,

You will never see your brother

Be a killer everyday.

I know it may seem cruel

That fate tore us apart,

But I'll always be there with you

Forever, in your heart.

So if ever you feel frightened

When you're facing the unknown

Call me and I'll find you

And you'll never be alone.

Sister, I see father

He is bathed within the light.

He tells me to come with him

And his smile's one so bright.

Sister, now it's over

This is my final breath.

And now it's time my soul succumbed

to my untimely death.

I wish someone had told me

How much it hurts to say goodbye.

I do not wish to leave you

I love you, sister

Please don't cry.
