This is a drabble long time in progress for the talented TagoTarTogus of Ryura from Inuyasha (movie 4) and her OC Kara.

As with all my musings... I do not own the Inuyasha characters they belong to their respectful owner, nor do I own Kara who belongs to TagoTarTogus I do own the plot. No money was earned from this work, just the awesome experience of putting words to paper in a logical, meaningful way.


The Artist

His scarlet eyes wandered over her nearly flawless skin as she lay upon the black futon upon the floor. He noted her shoulder length blond hair fell elegantly over her left shoulder, drawing his eyes over the shoulder to the sensuous curve of her neck and jaw line. Turning back to his easel, Ryura picked up his pallet and brush. Poised above the canvas, the brush quacked as he contemplated the blank canvas before him.

Glancing once more at his subject, Ryura fixed in his mind's eye the piece de resistance as his brush began to move of its own volition. Stroke upon stroke of the brush to canvas drew the image of his beloved further and further to light; with the blank canvas caressing her curves like some faceless lover. Wiping sweat from his brow, Ryura worked feverishly on the painting, captivating every nuance of his beloved Kara, every little line that made her unique.

As the natural light of day was quickly replaced by the light of the moon, a hand slipped over his shoulder, the object of his desire having slipped from her place before him to be looking over his work. "I never knew that you were so talented," she murmured in his ear.

With a quick flick of his wrist, signing his work Ryura replied, "When I have the right motivation, I can do anything."
