Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
This was the sound that kept the nightmares away.
Drip.
Drip.
This was the sound that kept the darkness at bay.
Drip.
This was the sound that made his monsters stop chasing him.
Half-lidded and weary eyes shone through the darkness, showing almost no recognition to the outside world apart from the slight twitch that occurred as his ears took in a sound. Back leaning against the rough bark of a tree, the sliver of moon in the sky gave barely any light to see. But it was still enough the see the dark huddle of a figure in its position.
The hilt of a katana was lightly gripped in one hand, the blade awkwardly resting in his darkly-clothed lap. The other hand, dangling at his side, held nothing except the thick rivulets of crimson liquid that flowed down and collectedly dripped down into the undergrowth.
From a normal perspective, one would think that this demon had flitted to this treetop to seek refuge and heal his wounds, and if they had known the truth it would seem almost unreal.
That this majestic and powerful demon had come here in order to hear the sound of his crimson energy feed the ground beneath him.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
That the constant and repetitive sound of pattering liquid onto the forest floor would restrain the small demon from falling into the dark abyss that was his scarred heart.
Only here in this darkness could he find solace from the darkness in his mind. And it didn't matter that his arms and legs would be scarred forever.
As long as he heard the sound he craved.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.

ForbiddenRyuu: Ok, I have returned! For those of you who read my previous stories, I apologize for them seeing as they were Mary-Sue nastiness and I deleted them. I felt like they weren't worth being put up on the site and I plan not to rewrite them at all. But, now I have started this story as a muse reawakening now that School and Homework are letting up.
Please let me know what you think and leave me a review! Hopefully, if I get at least 1 good review I'll continue
P.S. I am also looking for a Beta, so feel free to PM me or put it in the review or whatever, Thanks!
