I wrote this after one of the latest Manga chapters….wondering "OMG What if Kouga dies!" …consider this the product of panic and too much time in the jewelry industry. :P
Darkish, I suppose, with character death and obscurity on the side.
Enjoy!
Ash
Bright blue eyes; mid-day skies framed by dark lashes in a suntanned and expressive face, like a jeweler's dark and triumphant creation—stilled now, quiescent, blank. Closed forever as she smoothed a trembling hand from brow to chin.
He was gone. His body claimed by death, his soul shipped off to the unknown.
Bowing her head she whispered mindless prayers to gods old and new, holding onto the hope that a demon's soul could be reborn. So full of spirit, surely he would enjoy another chance at life—he who had lived so….intensely.
Tears slipped from her eyes, tracing mournful lines down her face, only to fall soundlessly to the ground, unheeded.
"Will you shed tears for me when it is my time, Kagome?" Gentle claws stopped a tear in mid-flow, wiping it away before it could complete its path. Turning, her eyes met another jeweler's masterpiece; deep topaz, burnished gold, a crowning diamond glory.
"No, Inuyasha. I won't cry when it's your time." Gathering herself, she rose, turning her back on them both.
"I pray I'll be long gone before then."
