Lost Comfort

A mother and her daughter yelled back and forth in the middle of a vicious arguement. The girl

clenched her teeth and fists. Her nails bit into her palm as she restrained her temper. She held back her tears

and kept a blank look on her face. Her mother was infuriated by the lack of emotion and demanded some

expression. The girl stubbornly concentrated on remaining blank only slightly glaring into her mother's

furious eyes. The arguement finally ended and the mother left the girl's room slamming the door behind her.

The girl sat on her bed against the back board. She pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her

arms around them. Finally burying her head into the cover of her arms she allowed the tears to fall. She

cried almost hysterically as she rocked herself, all alone in her room.

Arms of a red yukata wrapped around her pulling the girl into a strong embrace. Her head rested

on a warm chest and she looked up into golden youkai eyes. The tears slowly stopped as she snuggled into

the warmth and safety of the one who held her. SHe clung to the fire rat fur and shivered slightly the

strength of her anger melting out of her.

The girl began to play with a piece of long white hair that hung down the hanyou's shoulder. It

calmed her with it's feel of silk. She began to fell sleepy as gentle clawed hands rubbed and moved over her

back. This comfort, this warmth, and this protection was all she ever wanted. Her eyes closed and then she

felt the hands were gone. Along with the warm body she had been leaning against.

Her eyes snapped open immediately and looked around. She was all alone in her room. The girl's

tears came again but not with anger as the first time. They came from the anxiety of being seperated from

the one comfort that she had. She covered herself with a blanket and clung to her pillow. Still with

continuous fresh tears falling from her eyes she fell asleep.

A single clawed finger reached out of the darkness and wiped the tears that were drying on the

girl's cheeks. The girl's lips lifted up from its deep frown into a soft smile. Her dreams had taken a happy

turn from reality. She laughed as she chased after a hanyou in a red fire rat yukata, with long white hair,

white dog ears, clawed hands, and golden eyes.
