Morning breaks over the city, and I almost want to cry at the beauty. The sun, in glory eternal, warms the frozen stone of the building I'm on. The rooftop loses some of the cold grey glare it had taken in the pre-dawn gloaming. These are the moments I live for. They all think that I'm cold and heartless, but the truth is, I wait for the sunrise, for the moment when the warmth will spread to me.

I think Jin put it well, when he talked about coming out of the shadows. He was ready for it, but I think I'm still afraid. I'm, after all, the Forbidden Child. A child still, and I accept the title readily. Why fight it, I think?

Maybe if I were braver, I'd walk in the golden light, leaving night behind. For today, though, I slink back into the shadows.

Okay, another short one. I think Kurama's next, or maybe Botan. Have good idea for Botan.

R+R!
