Bitter-sweet endings by Ejunknown. [Drabble #145, prompt: Core]
Notes: I haven’t had this much trouble to complete a story this short through heartbreak in a long time. Also, this is an old tradition taken up by a large majority of families in Japan, as according to my research - at least in the latter few centuries, the name of a spouse carved and painted in red will share their loved ones grave after death. Inuyasha, assumedly spending more time in the modern world then his brother, would have heard of it, and chosen to follow it.
