Liquid Desire

Desire. To wish for. To want something very strongly. To long for someone emotionally. To crave for someone sexually. To covet an object. To want a relationship. To want revenge. To wish, to want. We all desire at some point in life.

She had to keep trying, but with the fight picking up speed, Kagome was afraid of accidentally hitting one of her friends. ‘I just need a clear shot. Come on Inuyasha!’
