Chapter Nine:

Sesshomaru - That Was Then, This Is Now

~*~

I remember a time when I couldn't rest

Unless I had his blood on my hands

Tetsusaiga in my grasp

And immense power flowing through my veins.

But that was then.

When that stupid human

Came into my life,

I felt myself changing

For better

Or for worse

Whether I liked it…

Or not.

Humans are weak.

She made me weak.
She made me soft.

But when Rin is around, somehow I don't care.

She is like that pup,

That I never had.

I used to be cold.

I used to be vicious.

I used to be merciless.

I used to be evil.

But that was then.

I feel myself growing softer to her,

Each and everyday

When she graces me with her smile,

Her kisses,

Her love.

For once, I can not explain these feelings,

These emotions running through me.

I know now,

That I am warmer.

I am nicer.

I am merciful.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen,

If anyone would find out.

I used to care about my title,

Demon Lord of the Western Lands.

I used to care about so much more.

But that was then,

And this is now.

And I am grateful for Rin.

My pup.

My joy.

My love.

Man, that was sure hard to write! Sorry, but I postponed this story for a while, and I even considered deleting it, but I knew people would be upset, so I am dragging myself through the last of these difficult poems so I can write another 15 unrelated stories to tack onto this poem collection. I hope everyone enjoys them!
