Eek! Thank you all so much much for the reviews. Because I worked at a small site before I had never gotten a review before. So to thank you properly I decided to post two chapters in two days!!!! I may not be able to write chapters as often as before because of soccer but it'll be finished eventually. I am hoping to get some advice on my writing style. Yet again thank you so much! I'll see you next chapter.
Chapter 3
It's a dark night filled with the blood red full moon. The sky is littered with stars filling it with light but never covering the moon. Rin walks slowly through the castle. The paintings seem alive, almost acting out their scenes. Rin stops at one painting of a woman standing by a river lightly touching her hair. Rin has always wished to be her. Waiting for the one she loves to come and always knowing they'll come back. As she walks slowly and delicately, almost enchanted she hears someone calling.
"A clear moon climbs over the sea; to its farthest rim" Rin walks closer and closer to the voice.
"The whole sky is glowing." Candlelight spills from the end of the hall. Rin begins walking quickly now. 'I can finally meet my love.' "Lovers complain – how endless is the night!" She stands in front of the door almost too excited to open it. 'Never make a promise to a demon even if it feels like a dream!'
"Their longing thoughts rise till dawn." Rin swings open the door to see one candle sitting in the center of the room. It's lined with books and books with one chair in a corner. 'No one's here' She walks to the candle. Rin is faced by two golden eyes. They are full and almost harsh. The light goes out.
"I blow out the candle
to enjoy the clear radiance" Rin's left alone in the room waiting for him to return. Hours pass like minutes as she watches out the window. She finally walks to her bed as the new sun is rising. She stands facing the sun. She opens the door and walks outside into the grass. Rin says softly to her demon,
"Slip on my clothes; for I feel the dew grow thick."
"Since I cannot gather a handful of moonlight
to give you," The demon spoke back to her.
"I shall go back to sleep
and hope to meet you in a dream!" Rin stopped speaking and held her arms to her chest. A breeze blew beside her almost reminding her to look at the sun. She turned and watched it rise.
Rin awakes in her bed to the pounding of Jaken on her door. She feels so at peace with the dream.
"Wake up you lazy girl!" You can hear the toad screaming from the other side of the door. Rin gets up and almost floats with joy. She dresses quickly and walks outside. Rin glides right past the toad creature with out speaking. She walks quickly to breakfast with Jaken bounding behind trying to catch up. She reaches the two large double doors and opens them slowly. Rin wakes in as usual and bows to Sesshomaru as he stands up. For an instant he looks right into her eyes and searches for something.
Something screams in Rin's head. 'He's the demon from my dreams.' She gasps and stands looking at him. Sesshomaru does the same. (Uhhh but without the gasping. tee hee hee)
