A dark wind blew through the night as Death made his way to the door. His robe was the darkness, and his hair was the moon. The young woman had caught his attention and he was not leaving until he had quenched his curiosity. He watched as the light played over her creamy skin, and flirted with her red lips. Her ebony hair matched his kingdom, and her soul was a lamp that penetrated his darkness. Death could feel himself being drawn to her figure, like a wolf to the moon. He, the mightiest of all the elements, was the prey whenever he came near to her. She shifted in her sleep, and a slow snoring sound escaped through her lips. His finger traced over her pale cheek and red mouth. It had been decided, she would be his. His light and his bride. He would bide his time, no matter how long it took, he would make her love him, even if he himself was incapable of the feeling. Her innocent laughter, which sounded like the tinkering of bells, would eventually fill his land.
This young woman, who had captured Death’s attention, was called Kagome. She had become the worker of her family, after her father’s death in a war between her country and the enemy country to the north. She was alone, surrounded by death, and sadness, so she stayed away from the humans, and their wars. Death knew this; he had watched her from afar for many years. He knew her voice was that of a fallen angel, and he was drawn to it time and time again. He had always found pride in being a cold, and indifferent man, but this woman made him anything but.
After one last glimpse at the sleeping figure, he slowly stepped away from the room, gliding through the halls to the door which was made of a rough grass twined together. His movements where swift, and quiet, like that of a ghost, the only telltale sign that Death had even been there was a single silver hair stuck to the twined door.
