Infinite Human Stupidity

Humans, Sesshoumaru thought, were ignorant fools.

Still waters ran deep, they said.

According to that she should've been shallow.

She didn't cry, she howled.

She didn't smile, she laughed.

She didn't walk, but ran full tilt, arms flailing in a colourful whirl like the vanes of a pinwheel.

She loved abundantly, casting aside the preconceived notions of her kind to follow those she wanted to be with and damn the rest of humankind to hell.

She tasted life to its fullest, because she knew what came after it.

She lived.

And if that wasn't depth, he didn't know what was.
