Regret

-

     "Miroku, forgive me-"

     He jolted out of his sleep with a cry and pressed the heel of his hand to his forehead.  Not again…

     He fingered his prayer beads, the binding of his life, the collar on his freedom.  He could've saved her-she would've lived… but no.  She'd jumped into the whirlpool of water to save her brother.

     She'd said his name.  Not Houshi-sama.  Just Miroku.

     "Miroku, forgive me-"

     For what?  Forsaking their potential happiness?  Throwing away their future by choosing family over love?

     Could he blame her?

     Forgive-forget… Love doesn't forget.

     I can't forgive myself.
