Silver Dreams
Chapter 1, an Interesting Meeting…
Kurama POV
I
sat in an ancient oak tree and watched a female, who judging by her
sent was a wolf and fox youkai. She knelt by the river near the
towering ancient picking certain herbs that were growing there. I
watched her silently as I had done for the past few weeks. This time
I just admired her features, she had a slender frame with sharp yet
gentle features. Her silvery hair was tied up loosely on her head and
only two thick strands framed her face. Her deep blue tunic fitted
her snugly and was tied off with a black sash on the waist. The pants
where a lighter blue and cut off at the ankles; she was barefoot and
bore a silver chain on her left ankle.'Hmm… Interesting,' I thought
as I watched her reach for one herb that was farther over the river
than the others. Suddenly she slipped and fell headfirst into the
frigid water. I laughed as she came sputtering and coughing out
water. Her head snapped to my direction and the look of her pure
embarrassment was clear.
'Now you've done it Kurama...' I scolded
myself.
"Who are you!" She demanded. "Show
yourself!"
I chuckled. "Now, now… Why spoil the
surprise?"
She climbed out of the river and scanned for where
I was but the oak branches shielded me from her view.
"Insolent
youkai," she growled, as she wrung out her tunic.
"Insolent?
Why do you say that?" I inquired.
"You laughed as I fell
into freezing waters and nearly gave me a heart attack in doing so
you creep!" She snapped.
I jumped from my hiding place and
walked silently up behind her then spun her around to face me.
"So
I'm a creep now am I?" I growled.
Her eyes narrowed. "Yes,
you are... Where were you hiding?" she spat.
"That is my
business and you had better watch what you say vixen," I warned
coldly.
Her shoulders tensed tightly and she glared. "I take
orders from no one," she said firmly.
"Such strong words
my dear," I said. "However there are some things you should
know."
She stepped back and tripped over a root that I had
grown for such a purpose. She fell onto her back with a cry of
surprise and I laughed for the second time that day.
I knelt down
to where our eyes met. She growled quietly in warning as she
continued to back up till I stopped her. "Such a unique vixen
you are," I mutter
"What are you playing at?" She
spat.
I grinned. "This forest that you're in..."
"What…?"
She trailed off.
"Is mine," I smirked, as she stared at
me in a mix of horror and shock.
