The Sliver Of A Neverending Moon
Chapter Two
Elsewhere
By Inuyashas Youkai
A woman dressed in a pair of jogging pants, and a tank , deeply involved with the beat within her ears , as she continued to enjoy the exheration felt with her nightly run, as the moon shone brightly in its parted stage within the cycle. Long black hair was pulled tighly into a high ponytail , moving in a bouncy sway with her movements. Alongside her trotted a leashed companion trailing behind her , at her side, and was oblivious to anything outside of the moment , and of her immediate surroundings to ensure safety while partaking of her favorite pastime taken only at night.
Once passing that of a long fence line , one that encompassed a rather large structure, and it was coming too a particular spot towards where the wooden barrier to keep others not having business at this location out, that immediately tugged within side her almost pulling her towards whatever it was that obviously wanted the woman to follow the direction of its demanded calling. Standing still, feeling torn on whether the woman should go towards the unknown waiting for her to arrive, but what would be there , and why . Although for some reason it was felt that deep inside her , it was within her own mind developed a theory , one that screamed it wasn't a whom , but a what , though a whom wasn't far behind, and it was also realized that it wasn't the first time, she felt this way . Alas the how's and when's weren't at the moment coming up with anything specific within her recollections.
Farther away , a couple of buddies were chasing down some beers at a local bar , waiting for their third arriving companion whom said they were on their way , as they continued to follow a timely tradition. Originally, it was one made to keep contact with the other to catch up with goings on within their life , as the years passed by. Each taking turns to choose where to meet up , as to maintain change so that it wasn't the same old boring meet up spot every time. The two arriving early had started with a pitcher while waiting for late arrival because of his older sibling piling more than what was possible once again , and it was as they were doing so , each one involved themselves in a round of shooting the shit with the other.
"So hows married life? " One friend asked the other.
"It's going well, I mean she's everything I used to dream about a woman taking care of me , when I was a child . I feel as sappy as it sounds , loved , accepted , and the action in the bedroom isn't bad either. "The male being spoken to responded honestly , but cockily.
"Don't tell me the gutter received another rat for it's perverse bidding" A newcomers voice rasped with mirth over the two already conversing, starting the party without him.
"Nah , if that were true I'd be like this one next to me , and drueling over the chance to catch a feel upon all the female ass within this joint!" The one speaking lovingly dirty about the happenings with his wife corrected the new arrival.
"You guys just don't understand , besides it's not all of them just the pretty ones.." The other male being accused of such treachery opposed.
"Ha ! Don't kid yourself like your trying to deceive us , which is pointless cause we know you by now like a open book that screams 'Iam a pervert ' to countless innocent asses your hand's come across in a firm groping. " The accusing friend , being the late arrival that he was as of recent , just uncovered the obvious ploy to his friends actions.
Sharing a light moment of laughter before all three of them all of a sudden got serious , as three pairs of eyes caught onto each other with attentive reminders to more dire matters, but it was only one who felt brave enough to break the uncomfortable silence .
" So whats the plan guys , now I don't mind the wait if at the end has some sort of meaning to it instead of waiting for nothing. "
" I get it , but it has only been what , within the last few centuries that even we got the little bit of memories back that we had, and being able to recall them , but not what had happened in the first place to cause this nightmare to begin .. One of the three mused aloud as he thought of those long years passed by without even knowing, while a sudden shiver coursed down his spine.
"But from what you know , are we in the right time to even start looking, and to make our appearance known?" Another one, one of the first to arrive questioned , as thoughts of the beautifully strong willed woman that wasn't presently near him to constantly fondle.
" We should always be looking , but it depends on what we find when we locate them on whether the direction we act on from there.." The last of the three , but one of the first arrivals , mentioned offhandedly while his thoughts lingered on the one unknown to him for so long , but now that he had, it was in his deepest hope that it wasn't too late.
