The blues and reds and pinks of the sunset spread across the horizon, rippling off the waves in the ocean and catching the dips and curves of the magnificent clouds.  The wind stirred, sweeping in the sweet, salty scent of the ocean.  Vaguely curved metal bit into her hands as she leaned against the balcony railing, blue eyes closed while the breeze toyed with her hair.

She smiled a little, taking in a deep breath and letting it relax her.  It was so peaceful here, like she oughtn't have a care in the world.  Like she was finally free.

She shifted her hand, hearing the clinking of metal on metal.  Free.  That was laughable.   Sapphire eyes opened slowly, lowering to the shackles on her wrists.  No, she wasn't free.

Never would she escape Naraku's grasp.

Thank you all those in chat for helping me come up with my 'W' word to title this drabble (or, to be more specific, thank you to Sugar0o, our brilliant and quirky chat mod) and thanks to BlueHeavensAngel for being my guinea pig and helping me get into my groove.  XD
