*sobs into her hands* Atoshi-sama... if you could only see how that man loves you. *Looks up at her*... in real life, he's a mixture of things... he's a real prince... he's sweet and smart and handsome... but sometimes he's cool... you know? Like I've seen him in his more... darker schemes... he's admirable. Amazing... he's a human... and he can take down a gang of men barehanded. He snapped a man's spine before... and when he fought those men to protect me, he snapped one of their arms against a wall... the one who tried to touch me. They meant to really hurt me, because they wanted to hurt Kyle... and Skye protected me from them. ... but here... he's always careful to hide that dark part away... like he's determined to keep it hidden. I've seen the dark Skye... the twilight in his eyes, and it's burned there... like he's a living god... ... he won't release that image here... but if you knew how powerful Skye Wheeler is... *shakes her head* And he's mad about you... Every day... you can tell. He wears this ring around his neck with your name on it. He said he'd give it to you one day... Even when Kharras came... he still wore it. When he's worried, he touches it... and he looks like he is stronger.
I don't mean ill will towards Kharras... don't get me wrong, but Atoshi-sama...
... In Inuyasha... there are the Wolves, right? Skye-sama has always been a wolf. Their enemies in the series were Birds, which is what Kharras-sama is, right? Skye-sama fears Kharras... and he worries that because of his forced busy life, he can't be with you as much as he wants. And it taxes him. It hurts him deep because he can't be with you, like Kharras can be. But Skye-sama... he's real and strong and so sublime.. .if it had been some other time, I bet men would worship him as a god. Skye-sama is always worked too hard by his parents... he wants only you, but his life is so demanding. He talks about you with Kyle all the time...
Maybe he left because he thought that you were mad at him for not being there, and he was ashamed. You never know... but whatever the fact... Skye is like that Greek story of Hades' Wife, who came to her lover and mother during the Summer, and had to return to the Underworld for the rest of the seasons. Whatever the fact, you must'nt drop him, Atoshi-sama... it would break that man.
