Summary - Kohaku reflects on the death of his family...

-A/N- I'm back, guys! I've just recently watched 'I'm a Cyborg and It's Okay', and I think I've scarred myself for life. Korean movies are creepy... Anyways, here's another fic, just for you, you lucky person!

He couldn't stand it.

He just couldn't stand it.

'Why?' he asked himself. 'Why me, a mere boy? What have I done to deserve such a fate?'

He stared down at his hands and visibly flinched. A moment later, he laughed, a cold, bitter laugh.

"My name is Kohaku. I am twelve years old. I murdered my own family."

He laughed again, a tear sliding out of his large brown eyes. He clenched his fists, and imagined slicing his hands clean off the wrists just to be free from the crawling feeling of disgust he felt when he looked down at them. But then he shook his head, dismissing it. He was constantly having to rid his mind of these suicidal thoughts. He wallowed in self-pity a moment longer before standing to do whatever task Naraku had next assigned him to.

'Why?' he asked again. 'What have I done?'

He couldn't stand it.

He just couldn't stand it.

-A/N- Well, I hope you liked it. As it has been proven before, I'm a very dark writer.
