A/N: Wanted to try my hands at a drabble.
Of Meetings and Usagi
The first time she met him she told his brother, her protector, to disgrace him by pulling out the family heirloom that he thought should have rightfully been his. He of course tried to kill her in return.
The second time they met, she shot three arrows. The first revered the stolen blade he held. The second aimed at his borrowed arm. And the third broke his armor. He of course in return threw his brother, then her love interest, at her to knock her out, and also pierced a hole through his brother.
After many more meetings they fell into a sort of alliance where he saved her and she protected his ward. From these she found out that though he was the fierce demon lord in appearance, manner and power deep down he also had a heart that was capable of many things. And he found out that she was much more than the little filly that followed his brother around.
"Sesshoumaru?" she asked, never turning around to actually look, "Come sit. It's a lovely night."
He came out of the shadows of the trees, glaring at her audacity for addressing him so casually even demanding him to "sit". He was not his younger half brother. However he moved forward to stand beside her.
"I always wonder if the rabbit had ever been given the choice of going up there." She stared at the full moon, "What if it had never wanted to leave in the first place? What of its family and love ones? Wouldn't it be lonely up there?"
"Foolish humans and their foolish tales," he admonished. At this she turned to look at him and into his golden orbs. Their eyes locked as if searching for something that might be there.
He turned to walk away, breaking their contact, "If the rabbit wanted, it could simply leave." A long pause, "But who is to say that it can't be happy up there with the old man." With that he left the clearing, back into the forest.
She stared at his retreating back while a slow smile grew on her lips.
A/N: The rabbit or usagi in this drabble is in reference to a Japanese folklore about the Old Man of the Moon wanting to see which animal was the kindest out of a group of friends in the forest: a rabbit, a fox and a monkey. In the end the rabbit was deemed kindest thus the Old Man took the rabbit up to the moon with him. This folklore is usually took during the full moon for it is believed that when you look at the moon you can see the rabbit, usually making mochi.
