Author's Notes: Set of one hundred word drabbles for the Inuyasha Fanfic Community's challenge on Livejournal. This one is Sango/Miroku.
Warnings: None.
Spoilers: Vague for series.
Obligatory Disclaimer: I own no part of Inuyasha or any of its characters. Obviously, the name is borrowed from F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night.
Tender was the Twilight
I watched the sun tumble down the sky like an artist scattering the brushes of his art across a page, dark splotches pooling wetly at the corners of his parchment to fill in silent night.
Still was the wind; still were the stars that appeared like splashes of brightness in the aphotic sky like the glittering of water in the sunrise.
I kept my silent sentry until the horizon devoured the final rays of light, the moon rising in a translucent arc in the heavens.
Later, I would find it funny.
All that beauty, and all I saw was her.
