Guess what? I still don't own Inuyasha. Ms. Takahashi does!
"Behind the Mask"
by Licentia poetica
"Demon child, no
questions ask.
You must perform this
final task:
A mirror beast to kill
my foe.
Destroy the fang; the
hanyou though
Should see his love
become my toy.
The slayer, too, will
see the boy
Destroyed before the
day is through
And anguish sweet will
taint anew
The shards I hold
within my grasp."
She fought the battle,
her wounds a rasp
Of pain that tore her
silence through
Her soul. The doubts
that came anew:
"Will I be next? I'm
just his toy.
Kagura, the others, and
now the boy.
Perhaps I'll fight a
different foe."
The mirror turned, and
even though
Naraku screamed he
died. The task
Complete, she smiled
behind her mask
