Under the Light of the Moon
Golden eyes gazed upon the visage of utter perfection as she moved gracefully without care across the clearing. The soothing sounds of music coming from a strange contraption not far from her filled the silence of the night, adding the peaceful atmosphere that surrounded them. Her pain and sorrow told in the graceful sweeps of her arms and the soft falls of her feet, elegant and entrancing; perfect against the slow melody.
His cold heart raced in his chest as he a watched her dainty, slipper covered foot slowly raise in the air, the flowing white skirt falling around her to reveal long toned legs encased in dark form fitting material. She brought it back down and dipped into a spin, a single hand outstretched as if holding it out to an imaginary lover. Dark eyes snapped open as she forced herself out of her dream and she stopped as the sorrowful song continued to play on without her, realizing just how alone she was.
The moon light rained down of her, highlighting her raven wing hair and accentuating her crystal blue eyes that shimmered with tears. A lone tear cascaded down her smooth, honey gold face as she stared up at the moon that so nearly matched his crest but for its color. Beautiful, pale pink lips opened slightly as she murmured a name too low for even his sensitive hearing to pick up, but he knew, just as surely as he needed the air in his lungs to breathe, that it was his.
His gaze warmed as he watched her small lovely hands reach up to wipe away the tears that escaped her precious jeweled eyes. A wistful smile stretched her lips before she started up with her lonely dance once more. Sesshomaru warred against himself as he continued to watch, his majestic self hidden from view by the darkness of the trees around him. The loneliness that he constantly pushed back reared its ugly head and for once, he disregarded the voices of his mother and advisors and allowed himself to have what his heart wanted most.
He unbuckled his armor from his strong torso and removed his swords, leaning them against the base of the tree before him. He stepped forward out of the shadow of the forest and made his way to the lovely maiden lost in her world of dreams. She once more followed the tune that flowed on the gentle breeze and just like before, she spun and reached out a single hand. This time, he was there to capture it. He felt her stiffen at the contact and watched as she opened her eyes to look at him.
Shock entered her sapphire gaze and for a moment nothing in the world existed but them. No words were said; they were not needed. Everything was said through their mesmerizing eyes. They embraced each other and he lead her in a dance where their touch alone confirmed what their eyes had said. It was under that moonlight, in that field of grass and flowers, and dancing to that sorrowful tune that two souls, pained and lonely, joined together for a life time of a love and happiness so great it became legend.
