Series 1 Water Encounters-Rain
Sitting. Simply waiting for something. Waiting for something not known of. Two months and still waiting. Amber golden eyes glanced around, the movement of their head causing their cascading silvery blue locks to swirl and graze the ground. The clearing was full of life. Flowers in blues, reds, yellows, and violets. Luscious green vines hugged the trees. Sakura blossoms littered the ground. A sharp contrast from the deep green grass. Lillie pads and their flowers lived on top of the quiet pond. The cat tails utterly still within the calm water. Yes the utterly serene place. Calm, collected. The calm before the storm. The amber golden eyed being glanced at the quickly darkening sky. The gray clouds moving in. The distant sound of a crackening thunder forever growing. The being stood as the feeling of the clear crystal rain drops permitted their skin and clothing. On further inspection you'd notice that the being was indeed male. He looked up at the sky, the raindrops continuing to pelt his person.
The light drizzle became a downpour. Soaking his clothing and weighing him down. The rain seared his skin as if acid. Yet he knew that it was not. The reason was beyond his reasoning. Suddenly a twig snapped. His gaze turned to the sound to see a wide eyed woman-child merely standing there. Her gaze was locked on his form. Her mouth moved and yet no sound came out. He simply gazed at her and wondered if this was why he waited. Standing and waiting had become part of his busy schedule and not once did another being cross his path when he waited. Until now. Making a decision he leisurely crossed the clearing to her. A close up told him the girl was part of his brother's shard hunting group. She looked older than the last time he had seen her and battle worn. Of course the last time had been a year and a half ago. She had long midnight blue hair that had leaves skimming the tresses and chunks of mud and grime clung to them as well. Deep electric blue eyes shone wide eyed. Curious and kindling a flame within them. Creamy pale skin was marked with smudges of dirt and a scratch adorned her left cheek, the blood from it dried upon underneath and luscious red lips which looked to have been bloodied as well.
He realized the closer he got to her the wider her eyes opened. When only a few feet away from her he his head to the side, and slid his form into a regal position. Back straight, feet barely apart, arms positioned at his sides. His eyes scanned her body, and lingered on certain areas. The areas being the part where her clothes had been ripped or splattered with dirt or blood. He took in the ruined knee length skirt and the nearly tattered white shirt. The usual red tie was nowhere in sight. Looking back into her eyes he spoke.
"It is not polite to stare." The sound of his honey soaked voice seemed to permit her mind and she jumped slightly. A blush stained her cheeks, almost unnoticeable.
"S...sorry." She whispered, looking to the ground in embarrassment. Her voice was sweet like an endless harp melody, it rung through the drenched clearing and danced through his ears. She looked back into his face and was shocked to see a breath taking smile had graced his features. She inhaled sharply and saw his smile merely widen.
"You are the woman named Kagome, correct?" Mutely she nodded amazed at not being struck down. He walked closer and slid his hand up to cup her cheek. She looked about to move, when. "Do you know where my younger brother is?" She looked shocked. He moved his hand down. He slid it down her neck, shoulder, and arms. Slowly he grasped her hand. "Do you?" He asked once more.
"N...no. We got separated." She said slowly, gazing at him in wonder. He held her hand gently and began walking straight, from the direction she came. He stopped realizing she was not following. He tugged her hand persistently. She got the idea. They walked in perfect silence. Sesshomaru looked to the sky, the rain had finally stopped. After awhile he began to hear what he had hoped for. He pulled her along a little further before stopping. He dropped her hand and turned to her. She gazed at him confusingly. All of a sudden Inuyasha and the gang burst through the trees.
"Sesshomaru get away from Kagome!" Said Inuyasha brandishing Tetsusaiga. Her eyes wide, Sesshomaru crouched down to jump.
"Thank you." Kagome whispered. He gave a curt nod.
"Till we meet again Kagome." With that he jumped, he witnessed her eyes widening and heard the gentle
"Sit." Inuyasha hit dirt and Sesshomaru watched as Kagome kept her eyes on were he left even after he was gone.
Waiting in the rain, quiet and serene. Been waiting oh so long, pointlessly. Suddenly you appeared and shattered my normal day; you seem battle worn, a little worse than me. Soon the outside will reflect the in and just maybe we'll love each other in the end.
