What You See
What do you see when you look at me, Kagome? When you cock your head, hands firmly on hips, the “sit” command playing at your lips. Your youthful love-anger is so much more than endearing. But I have already given all of myself to you, and you will not know it.
I am a thoughtless hanyo: defensive, impulsive, rash. Is it any wonder I hurt you?
I am a dangerous yokai: vicious, unaware, desperate. Is it any wonder I attack you?
I am a feeble human: weak, ignorant, pathetic. Is it any wonder I shy from you?
I am a bastard child: loathed, rejected, lost. It is any wonder I fear you?
Your brave self-confidence has you wonder why I do not give myself to you-fully, simply, easily. But see, Kagome: you know the fullness of me and that I am not simple, will never be easy. You have staked your claim and I have already submitted. I am yours, if only you will know it.
