DANGEROUS FEELINGS

CHAPTER 2

" Well, she really is something, isn't she? "

Sanumi said this as she walked over to the opening of the tent and zipped it from the inside.

" But enough about her. Let's get down to business. "

Her voice was sultry and very very sexy. Then she started undressing. Slowly. Tantalizingly.

Nakago didn't do or say anything. Soi's vision stayed with him. He knew he had hurt her. Underneath that calm frame a storm was raging. It would have been enough to send a man to throw himself at her feet and beg for mercy. In fact, a single tear from Soi would drive a king to wage war. And he knew she would be crying tonight. So much

But I don't feel. I don't care. That's why I'm great. That's why I'm strong. That's why noone can hurt me.

He then walked over to Sanumi and she instinctively pressed her body against his and engulfed him in a hungry kiss. It was going to be a fun night.

Soi walked in silence all the way to her tent. The moon was shining softly tonight, giving everything a golden tinge. The wind blew against her skin, leaving her with a hair-raising feeling. Like cool fingers flirting with her skin then abrubtly stopping, leaving her with a need so strong it made her dizzy. She felt weak. She felt helpless. Then Soi suddenly tumbled to the ground, blacking out. Before her face hit first on the grass, she regained herself and managed to break her fall using her hands.

I don't want to walk anymore. I don't want to try anymore.

She sat on the ground just staring at the moon. There were no stars tonight, just a blackness so wide, spreading over everything

The moon outshines even the stars…What does it feel like to have that much power?

Just staring at it made her feel lonely and she suddenly realized all she was not and all she never had. The moon was her favorite miracle. It had almost neverending light and noone could take it from her. Soi had always regarded to it as a lady. A lady with so much bewitching and hypnotic beauty that she could not give it to only one person, because it would only destroy him. Only consume him. So she spent all of eternity alone, and, instead, bestowed her radiance to all the lovers that were dazzled by her. Reminding them that they were so lucky to have someone. To be able to dedicate their lives to each other without insecurities and judgement. Her story a sad lesson.

But to me it only signifies my being alone.

Someday I will find someone to look at the moon with me.

And with this promise came the tears.

Not being able to bear with so much magic around her, when she herself felt like a curse, she fled to her tent, as graceful as a doe. She didn't want the moon to see her weakness. Finally, she collapsed on her bed. Her cold and empty bed. The bed that still had Nakago's scent from three days before. Her face crumpled as she surrendered to her despair. Her ears rang of the cries of help only she could hear.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: I KNOW IT'S SO SHORT, GOMEN-NE, I PROMISE I'LL UPDATE AS SOON AS I CAN, BUT I THINK THAT WON'T BE UNTIL NEXT YEAR-2002 BECAUSE WE'RE GOING AWAY FOR A WHILE. HAPPY HOLIDAYS. ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE R&R.
