Firefly
Nights seemed so long now that he was gone. Kaoru had taken to wandering among the cherry blossoms as she waited for him to come home. Always the government was stealing her husband away to clean up messes.
A firefly flitted in front of her face, reminding her of a horrible night long ago, and suddenly, he was there. His hand reached out lightning fast, capturing the firefly gently. His fingers uncurled, revealing the small glowing insect. "I'm sorry I was late, koishii," he told her. She could only smile and accept his gentle kiss and his golden, glowing offering.
