Notes: Written for iyissekiwa 's 'lose' prompt.


I knew I would win. I was confident in my strength and thought the stupid human emotional bonds that those idiots had formed would weaken them. I was wrong. All of my reincarnations are dead, and it’s just me and that stupid half-breed with his companions. And while it is true that I am a hanyou myself, I always thought of myself as a stronger being. I thought emotions were a pointless waste of time, and discarded them along with my heart thinking the combination of my cold exterior and interior made me a more powerful person. I may have been for a while, but now, as I am slowly dying here, it is painfully obvious that in the end the human emotions I tried to get away from might have helped me in the end. The heart I abandoned is coming to taunt me. And with the final blow, I am lost into the darkness forever. I not only lost the battle, but my love, and I will never get either back, for death has taken me.
