Silent Moon

by NeverLookBackSamurai

Gennosuke and Oboro have been forced into fighting each other's clan. So they decide to meet one last time before the battle that will surely be their last. But if you were ordered to kill the one you love, what would you decide to do first?

Dedicated to Raven. Because.

There is a silence that has fallen here,

This place of blood and war.

X-X-X

Lovers of rival clans

Call a truce to come and meet.

x-x-x

They know this night together

Will be everything but their last-

X-X-X

Gazes sweep upon fallen warriors

And for once, their comrades weep.

x-x-x

Here upon this solemn ground

Snow is blanketed-

X-X-X

But where once was pure

Is now tainted with crimson;

x-x-x

Death.

X-X-X

At daybreak, they know,

Their swords shall clash-

x-x-x

To win the final blow.

Only a moon and stars shall watch

X-X-X

What should merely be a dance-

But when their blood drips to the floor,

x-x-x

They shall fall silent:

X-X-X

Forevermore.

In Solemn Memory of Oboro-sama and Gennosuke-sama.

A/N: I got this idea listening to the song "Silent Moon" by Jia Peng Fang from a CD called the "Healing Collection". For those who would like to listen to it, PM me and I shall tell you where you can get it.
