Written for the livejournal "InuYashaFanfic" summer challenge. I'll probably do another one, this is just a quick drabble I thought up.
The Breath before the Plunge
By Ayrith
Houshi-sama is many things. To some, he is a man of Buddha and light. To others, he is a pervert. To me…he is a distraction, a danger, a comrade, a man.
We all see things differently.
But...there are also some things that can never change --that are seen by all-- and there is a part of Houshi-sama that is always there, in his hands, no matter how hard he tries to hide it.
Miroku is the calm before the storm, the sound before the silence, the summer before the fall.
Because all great things must end.
Because there is always much life before death.
