The color of his eyes as he smiles, says something to make her laugh. Her face lights up, and he is happy, for it is rare that she is comfortable enough to laugh at him. He takes pleasure in the sound of her voice.
The color of the sky as she stares up at it, remembering a time when she had been truly happy. Her friends see her face and know she is thinking of her brother, somewhere far away, a boy who can't recognize her face. They turn away politely when they see the tears.
The color of Kagome's face as she yells, and Inuyasha falls to the ground. She is shaking with hurt and animosity, and all she wants to do is run away from him, hide at home as she usually does. But not today. Today she will face him down.
The color of the bruise on Shippou's knee, which Kagome will carefully kiss to make better. The small fox cub hugs her neck and tells her how wonderful she is, and she hugs him close, hoping that the end of their journey would not separate her from them.
The color of Sango's lips as she stubbornly pushes through the snow, trying once again to find that delinquent monk. She has convinced herself that he is in trouble, and the others ask no questions as she leaves. No questions are needed. They know what is in the taijiya's heart.
The color of loneliness, of fear, of passion, of obsession.
The color is purple.
