Fleeting Moments
By Dan'yu
Drabble #1: New Year's IThe first time he saw her dance was like a dream.
In the ceremonial dance to welcome in the New Year, the Year of the Horse, he watched as she moved gracefully, fluidly, like a mythical dryad dancing to the celestial tune of the heavens.
Ayame was her partner, but his attention was locked solely on the breathtaking woman dancing before him, the brillant fabrics of her ceremonial robes whirling around her in a frenzy of startling color. Her long black hair danced with her, wrapping around her lithe body in a curtain of ebony and raven. The bells around her ankles sang as her feet moved, ringing with her name again and again- rin-rin-rin.
He watched her dance, and he could imagine that she was his, dancing only for him.
He watched her dance, and she was beautiful.
