Prologue
There was a gorgeous flash of light streaking across the sky. It left a brilliant glittering trail behind it as it sped across the heavens. It's life short but unbelievingly beautiful.
***************
The warm night air was tickling the leaves on trees. It swayed through the old willows and brushed against buildings. It weaved its way through the cities tall towers and swept over the sleepy countryside.
"Nagareboshi," a voice whispered, almost inaudibly.
A streak, like a cut in the sky which tried to reveal the heavens, appeared momentarily before fading back into the deep, black, mysterious night. A sigh. One which is slowly drawn in and then released. A kind that has satisfaction to it. The wind continues to whisper through the trees. Unexpectantly the sky is again graced with the presence of the light. It again dies away, slowly and softly, as the voice which speaks out in innocence next.
"Ara.......They have the life of a flower, ne?
Silence. Except for the winds gentle rustling. Then steps, a drumming hollow sound against the wooden boards. The voice speaks again, full of innocence still but now laced with concern.
"Crow, daijyoubu?"
Again the silence persists. The two figures stand, unmoving on the wooden balcony. It is an old house, but it seems to admit a homely glow. Away from the bustling city, yet close enough to commute to. The wind blows shivers down the woman's spine. Crow was what the other called her. Possibly her name had something to do with the pair of dark wings, attached to her back in between her shoulder blades. Their feathers ruffled in the wind and she wrapped them around her slight, bare body.
"Crow," the other called to her again, then her voice became worried, "Did I do something wrong?"
The black winged creature's dark skin shone in the light of three moons. Her face turned to the other and revealed her shock.
"No. Of course you didn't," she said began in a clear voice. A voice which the other knew to be soft or commanding, at this moment it was not the latter. "I was just admiring the shooting stars," she smiled, "Have you ever seen so many?"
No I don't believe I have. Crow......," she left the name hanging on the wind as she moved closer and wrapped the other in her arms. She was pulled into a hug and her also naked body was then shielded by the dark wings. "I love you," she whispered into Crows dark hair.
These last words took awhile to register with her companion, but eventually their meaning sank in and a wave of emotion passed over the dark angel-like figure. A sigh followed. One which was this time filled with happiness. Their bodies were so close together, fitting perfectly almost like two jigsaw pieces.
Crow finally responded, "I love you too Siren."
