Falling Stars

by brandypandyxxx

She was tiny star in the sky, until one day she fell from the heavens. Trapped she is saved by a demon, and to give thanks, she will grant him one wish, but this demon has no need of her wish, and so she follows him. She says she will go away when he makes his wish. He may have saved her, but she was sent to save him. He can touch the stars; all he has to do is reach out for her.

When a star is born...

The demon son stood in the middle of the House of the moon and looked all around him as tiny stars twinkled brightly like rare diamonds. So close yet so far. He couldn't touch them. He could have almost anything in the world, but he could not touch the stars.

"Look, son," Lord Touga said, "A star is being born," He pointed out to a tiny light, which was starting to grow brighter. Lord Touga smiled as If he himself had created the tiny thing. "Isn't it impressive?"

"If you say so father," Sesshomaru stated but watched as the small thing tried to grow brighter to stand out around its counterparts.

"I do say so," He looked out at all the stars "The Kamis work,"

Sesshomaru looked up at his father with a slight sneer,

"Sneer all you want but you; my son also come from the Kamis,"

Sesshomaru looked away "I do not see the point of these stars,"

"You like to look at them,"

That was true.

"We live amount them, around them, under them," His father said softly,

Sesshomaru looked at his father again,

"They are light, to guide those in darkness," His father said softly "Id like to think it is a reminder that we demons are not forsaken, we, after all, were the first to see them and will be the last to see them" He looked down at his son "If you ever see a falling star, make a wish,"

Sesshomaru rose an eyebrow, and his father chuckled "A falling star grants wishes,"

"How foolish," Sesshomaru stated looking back up at the newborn star,

"You are young yet,"

"But not as young as she," He said without thinking,

"Ah, so you have claimed that star have you?"

"Claimed it?" Because he deemed a girl?

"Well go on, name it,"

"Name it?"

"Of course, you watched it be born, why not name it?"

He, of course, thought it foolishness, but it was new, and he did witness it be born. But pride won that battle even at a young age, and so the star was left without a name, and soon over time, the tiny newborn star was forgotten. It blended in well with its brother and sisters. A childhood memory that would vanish in the three hundred and thirty years it would take for Sesshoamry to grow and mature into a demonic man.

Stars were the last thing on his mind, blood-stained hands, and war was the only thing is in his sights, and yet the tiny star still twinkled brightly above him, watching over him the man who saw her be born.

He didn't know her name, but she knew his.
