I'm not too fond of this theme. I guess it just doesn't really appeal to me. I am definately not the "animal person" of my family. I was going to write this one metaphorically, but I decided againts it.

Disclaimer: Meh, I don't own it! Why are you trying to make me feel bad about myself D:

Doe, a Deer

There, in front of Ienzo, was a deer, slim and graceful. The wild animal showed to bring no sign of harm, but the little boy still shied from it.

"Go on, perhaps you can touch it." Ansem put a hand on Ienzo's shoulder.

After some hesitation, Ienzo reached out to pet the animal. The silky hair touched his fingers, but the creature darted away immediately. A small smile appeared on the boy's face. It was one of his first smiles since Ansem took him in. A warm feeling crept into his heart; maybe he would feel happiness again. One day…

A/N: Guess what? I just finished my third week of school today! Isn't that exciting? Ahem, I don't know how that relates to anything, but okay!
