The wind blows.

He carries the flowers away.

Far away they fly.

Far far away.

To you...
I am standing here in the midst of these flowers and look to the sky.

A smile plays on my face.

Today is the day.

Certainly!

A mix-up is impossible!

Today you will come!
I made myself extra pretty.

I put on the most beautiful kimono.

Got my hair specially trimmed.

And all just for this one day.

My 18th birthday.
Ten years ...

That's how long it has been since I've lived here.

In the old woman's hut.

But this one has long been dead.

Now i'm alone ...

Alone...
I look up to the sky

From today I will not be alone anymore.

Today you will come.

You promised to come.

Since you left me here ...
You said you would come as soon as the war in your area was over.

This war has been over for years.

Everybody knows.

I as well.

That's why I'm waiting now.
A year...

Two years ...

Six years ...

Eight years ...

And now there are ten.
You still haven't come.

Had something happened?

Are you prevented?

In prison?

Or even dead?
I shake my head.

No you are not dead

I know it.

You promised me not to die.

And you always keep your promises.
The people in the village offered me to live with them.

But I refused ...

I want to live here.

Far from the village ...

Far from people ...

In this peaceful place, in this peaceful hut ...
Some said your opponents had won.

That you would have fallen

But i don’t think so.

I know you are alive

Even if your brother says that ...

Even if he supposedly experienced your death himself ...

I do not believe him!

You live! I know it!The sun is slowly going down.

A couple of birds are flying in the sky.

There is still no trace of you to be seen.

I sigh.

You will not come again ...
I turn back.

I will celebrate my birthday alone.

Without the villagers ...

Without your brother and his friends ...

And most of all ... without you!
You won't come anymore, will you?

Say did you really fall?

Really dead?

I shake my head.

Silly me...
You promised to survive.

You promised to come for me.

And I know you never lie

So i will wait.

Year for year...

Even to death ...

Because I owe you that ...
Sesshomaru-sama ...
