Prologue

Rain...

That's all I've seen lately... lots and lots of it. There was a time when I would dance in the world's fury of tears, embrace it fully as my tears fell along with tears falling from the earth's eyes- but that was the past. This is now... I loved him with all of my heart- that and a whole lot more! Not with the crazy jealousy that I had loved with Chocolate for Carrot, but something more intense, something that felt more right, more real... Yes, it started in my favorite place- in the center of a light rainstorm. I can remember the feeling, the more baser of all urges to abandon my glasses and dress in the middle of a moonlit night and dance... I am not a dancer- once, Chocolate accused me of faking a seizure, but I like dancing. Even if I am completely unskilled, I like the severe pounding of my heart and the high that comes along with it. I love it. When my body could take no more, I collapsed and someone applauded. I looked up and gasped. My entire body froze as he made his way to me. How could I have missed how heavenly he looked or the graceful movement of his limbs as he approached me? How could I? He offered his hand and hefted me to my feet and took off his white robe and wrapped me in its warmth.

"That was breath-taking... for a moment, I thought you were an angel..." I looked up with a reddened face and attempt an expression other of that of pure humiliation. I failed horribly. He smiled and continued, "You're cold, allow me to warm you-" his lips brush mine briefly and he tilts me slightly into his left arm while embracing me with his right. My eyes fluttered open and he murmurs ever so softly, "you're shivering... Let's go back and get you dry."

My heart skipped a beat and he lead me back to camp. He let me borrow his robe. It smells nice... This is nice... He is nice... Sleep is affecting my vocabulary, I think solemnly, but what is there to say about a nice man who smells nice..? My lids grow heavy and my mouth cannot deny a smile that has been waiting so patiently. I am a sleepy girl who likes to dance in the rain and think about beautiful things...

My name is Tira Misu and I almost died of embarrassment the night Marron Glace caught me dancing.
