Eternity in a second

Chapter one: Merry Meet







Laughter was in the air, festivities all around him. But he didn't enjoy, for he did not want to enjoy it. He came by force. His father ordered that he came. The Cherry Blossom festival, a place where humans as well as demons, would come to enjoy themselves. He didn't care though. They where humans. "Stupid, disgusting, humans." he thought once more "Why must I be here?" he asked himself for the one hundredth time that night "Oh, yeah..." he whispered as he rubbed his arm, the spot where his father dug his claws. He refused to go. Especially since he had to go with her. How he hated his step-mother! She ruined his life by becoming his fathers mate. At first, he thought it was just a fling his father was going through "Man, was I ever wrong."he thought. When she first suggested that they all go to the Cherry Blossom festival, he eagerly refused. She said it was alright if he didn't want to go, but his father would have none of it! He confronted him later, and that's how he got clawed. His silver hair slightly took the cold breeze, it was the beginning of spring. Love was in the air, as they say, "Yeah right, love's foolish." he thought with rage. Suddenly, he caught the glimpse of a girl running towards him, in a crying fit. Right when she was about to pass him, somehow, his instinct told him to stop her. He did as he was told, and grabbed her.



She squirmed around, almost as a pleaded him to let her go. He put his hands on her shoulders, and took a good look at her. She was a demon. She had long reddish brown hair, long bangs that caress her soft pale face, with two red stripes on the side of her face. She had dog ears on her head "She's a dog demon!" he thought. She was wearing a dark blue kimono with a bubble pattern. Her eyes where golden, but at the moment looked like crystal, since her tears where in the way. He put his thumb on her soft check, and whipped the tears away. She was now looking at him confused. He grabbed a sakura* from the tree above him, and pushed her bangs around her ear, where he placed the flower. "Don't cry." he softly muttered. She sniffled a little. Somehow, it seems as if his words where encouraging her. "What's your name?" he asked "Kurotoshi" she muttered "I'm Sesshoumaru."
