I DO NOT OWN YU YU HAKUSHO!
2: Moonlight lilies
The absence of the wind can increase your nervousness so much it makes you feel as if your wings have been tied up. How unbearable… Being a mountain sprite means unlimited freedom in the harsh and unfriendly lands with no forests; unlimited life, protected especially from the greed of the males which want your clans' legendary powers, the connection with the basic elements in Makai.
It also means unlimited doom if you are ever to leave your homeland... The fact that you couldn't see too far because of the trees was proof enough. Dizzy and overwhelmed, with all those unfamiliar sounds and scents...
What was that?? Oh, just a twig… Was that a distant roar you suddenly heard making you jump in fear? Quickly child, muffle your screams! Cover your mouth, don't touch the trees! Remember what your aunt always told you!
'Make as less noise as possible when you are in a forest. Do not ever consider you are safe when you are surrounded by trees! It's nothing but cursed land!'
Cursed land indeed… All that green! All those useless obstacles in your way! Such ugly branches! All these useless leaves and disgustingly fragile flowers!
Oh, what's that white shiny thing at your feet? A flower? Is it safe to pick it up? It's so light on the palm of your hand!
Surprisingly, it didn't seem as fragile as the other flowers you saw… It was almost as nice as those mountain flowers you pick up from stone edges. A big tiger lily, with large silver soft petals to stroke, shaped as a cup, filled with a strong scent that made you drop it on the grass in a moment of utter dizziness… Such a strong scent! It's best not to touch such things anymore; look at it now, as its silver petals are shining in the pale moons' light. It made you think of how unfamiliar it is… Unfamiliar means unnatural and unnatural is something you do not like. You could not predict what was going to happen next and your sight was so very limited because of the trees!
Why did you have to fly so far? Why did you have to be such so curious? Even if you are only a few decades old you should have known better! You were so blind when you listened to that old hags' ranting! She isn't even one of your clan, she's an old worn out demon! She said the forest is 'such a romantic place, full of mystery, unpredictability and wonders!'...
Well if it so… where is it?? Where is the beauty and wonder? Where are the breathtaking things that you find between the 'emerald green leaves' and 'perfumed flowers'?
They all should face the truth. No tree could ever be as beautiful as they describe it. It's made of ugly branches, uselessly noisy leaves and on the ground laid a scary strong-scented lily. The moonlight just made it all worse. Nothing seemed nice enough to lay your eyes upon; everything seemed so tangled up, all of this was simply useless!
Such an unfair world, full of such cruelty and unnerving serenity! No, please, suppress your tears! They shall petrify into blue-colored rubies and you will be in grave danger if they are found! Thieves are roaming in the woods these years and who knows what will happen if they find you!
What is that noise? Water… A waterfall!
You felt so thirsty and your garments were all coated with dust, twigs and dead leaves. Your feet were not used with these types of grounds and were aching to sink in cold refreshing water. Besides, you instinctively knew it was a river, a mountain river. If you followed the rivers' course you would have a chance to reach the base of the mountain and go back home! You fortunately did not forget to be quiet and walked slowly and silently towards the source of the sound…
Almost… Almost there… You could almost see the clear water shining gleefully in the
moonlight…
Your feet were more tired than ever from kneeling so much in the bushes. Yet you did not even care… More minutes passed and you were still stiff as a tree, your mind all blank and your eyes glued to what was shining in the water. The rest was all too blurry to comprehend…
Deliciously pale skin was gleaming in the moonlight… Snowy-white hair pouring on broad shoulders, shining in the most pure hue of silver… Water sliding lazily across the skin, hands pausing sensually on thin cuts, crimson drops pouring slowly in the water…
All you could do was hold your breath and cover your mouth with your hands to suppress the sounds that almost spilled like water from your dry throat. All those slow sensuous movements seemed to have driven you to the limits of your sanity, your body a complete stranger to yourself… You felt an unfamiliar yet very pleasant warmth inside you; your skin was all coated in sweat, a big blush starting to rise in your cheeks. You started panting with your eyes not blinking, completely glued to that mysterious silver figure.
A demon… And a male on top of that…
The wind was playing with the youkais' silver tail, its tip swishing slowly and lazily on the lakes' surface while two big fox ears were on the top of the demons' head; one of them twitched adorably once and made your fingers itch to touch it.
No matter how much you told yourself that these beings are evil, that they do nothing but sins, you could not blink… Your blurry mind was filled only with incoherent sentences, praising feverishly the silver demon with an angelic appearance.
He was wearing white clothes that seemed to be very comfortable and light as a feather (you felt a shiver of jealousy run up your spine) but they were now wet, sticking to the skin in all the right places to expose the long feline muscles to your wide open eyes. You could not do anything but stare… and curse your own body for reacting so strangely…
You could not help yourself and also started to curse those of your clan; they have been telling you since you were born that the male population was the most grotesque and most despicable race. His place did not seem to be in that category…
The tall slim figure held the common features of a male and you felt a bit ashamed for considering them attractive; you did not consider these features that way at all before… His large shoulders were muscular but not bulky, seemingly just right, while his waist was narrow and his hips smaller than females'. Even you could wrap his waist entirely with her legs! Oh, another wave of heat engulfed your face at the thought… You swallowed silently so many times you felt your throat going sore. You did not know the reason for desiring to touch the demon, but you felt like it implied a great level of intimacy… was it such a sin?
You praised the forest for its bushes; not all had spikes in them and some of them smelled really nicely, taking away some of your nervousness. The trees were bathing in the moons' silvery glow, leaves swaying in the warm breeze beautifully…
Everything suddenly seemed so amazingly poetic, and the forest seemed no longer threatening. Everything magically linked to the silver youkai bathing in clear water in the moonlight…
How much time you stayed there you did not know. How did you manage to save your sanity even after the youkai left you did not care.
You slowly rose up, swaying from the dizziness of staying in such an uncomfortable position for so long. The blood that needed to circulate through your veins' legs seemed to have gone to your cheeks, for your blush did not cease to exist even after the fox demon was long gone. Your walking skills seemed to have gotten worse and you did not even dare to take one step any further.
Oh, what's that on the ground? A flower… The big white tiger lily!
You picked it up with an admiring glint in your eyes... It was so light on the palm of your hand, it made you think of the beautiful youkais' snowy-white clothes! You smiled at the sight of its large silvery petals and stroked them gently; is that how his skin feels like? Such a strong scent this flower had! It seemed to do you good, its smell so strong that it waked your senses…
You sighed dreamily while placing the flower in your hair. Its scent was now following you everywhere… reminding you of clear forest water, emerald leaves swaying in the warm breeze, exotic sounds that seemed like a chant, playing over and over in your head, in the silver moonlight…
Tell me if you likey please! And if you didn't get it the surprise was a one-sided extraordinary encounter with the hot fox demon Yoko Kurama! From Your Point Of View! Sort of... shrug
Sorry if the surprise wasn't surprising enough... I tried hard to make this good, really...
I hope you liked it! I thank all the people that reviewed and promise another story if you tell me it's worth it!
Ja ne!
P.S.: I apologise for any mistakes! It's the first time I try this POV.
