Note: Chapter 1 has been revised
How rude of me, offering no formal greeting in my previous storied...Hi! Anyway, here's another fanfic and a bit new for me. I got "Shakespeare-inspired" and decided to wrote this story using pure poetry (or try ;) ). But, let's see what you guys think and tell me if it's alright. Please read and review, but no flames!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, nor its characters.
And now, chapter one of Equinox…
Equinox
By: Disenchanted Romance
Chapter 1- Malediction
⌐Sesshomaru¬
A long weary battle has finally ended,
All I am waiting for is for my brother to answer my request.
I can hear his lover crying,
A Princess with such majesty and beauty,
Wasting her tears on such nonsense,
Emotions that only cause distractions and fatality.
The soft whispers of wind blows through the marina,
The rare blue amethyst waters ripple from the rain of tears,
Yet they do not distract me,
From the porcelain angel that kneels by the marina,
Not wanting to see me by her hatred for me in her eyes...
Eyes that clash with sierra and cerulean,
Eyes that refer to me as her malediction...
True as the beams of the sun, she is in my procession,
To have the wealth and macrocosm her lover inherited from a mistaken will,
Until then, her tears of sadness won't save her,
Her pleas for release are useless...
Until her lover has surrendered, she shall be set free,
But for now, the crystals from her eyes will continue to be wasted,
Withered away with the salt of the marina...leading to the sea...leading to the ocean.
⌐By the marina, the rain of hazel eyes continued to fall,
The Princess of Spain cried in pain,
She long desires to be under the warmth of her King of the South,
She could feel the cold winter coming from the King of the North's eyes,
Her sorrow continued to weep as the sun set over the back of the distant mountains,
How she wished she could disappear just like the sun.¬
⌐Kikyo¬
My tears of despair doesn't touch his cold heart,
He shows no empathy for having me captive and...
Keeping me from the one person who brings me happiness,
How different he is from his younger brother...
The plague of grievance ended when the document was read,
Their share of power brought them apart and now he desires more...
Having an equal share of the British lands shouldn't have ignited fumes of jealousy,
But when the plumes of greed seep through the heart and mind,
It creates a mist and all that seemed allay is destroyed,
Why must I be a pawn for the King of the North?
This kidnap won't end their war...It will only separate them even more.
As long as I am under his gaze, he will forever be my malediction.
