Rain ~ Chapter One
Cold rain pelted down on a small huddled figure sitting dejectedly in a tree. The branch he was sitting on was high up and level with a small bedroom window located on a well-sized house only a few meters from the tree.
Sad, golden eyes peered into the room, resting on a large bed with three small lumps on it, buried under the covers. He watched as one of the lumps moved a bit before settling again into deep slumber. As he watched them a few minutes more, a jolt of pain lanced through his already very beaten and bruised heart. Pain fully evident in his eyes, even though his face was a cold mask, he leapt from the branch he was on and landed on the roof of the house. Running forwards on all fours, he went over to the other side of the roof and looked down into another bedroom window. This time the bed had only one occupant, curled up loosely and partly covered by the sheets. He slowly opened the window, being careful not to make a sound, and crawled into the room.
His bare feet made no sound the dark blue carpet, his silver hair glinting in the moonlight. Golden eyes alight with sorrow watched the sleeping figure. He was of medium-tall height, taller than most people were at 5'10", and of a quite muscular build. Raw power and strength emanated from his appearance, yet it was softened by a look of gentleness in his eyes. Yet, this man was not human. White, furry, triangular ears twitched on top of his head, alert to any possible sounds. His fingers ended in sharp, deadly looking claws. Trailing behind him, just inches off the floor, was a white, fluffy long tail. A pointed fang peeked from the corner of his mouth and two crimson stripes slanted downward on either cheek. He wore a simple, bright red yukata made of cloth spun from the fur of the fire-rat and long-sleeved white shirt beneath.
Reaching out with all his senses, the youkai found that all in the house were asleep. Feeling secure in the knowledge that no one would bother him, he let his mask of indifference fall and his body crumple forward. His shoulders sagged and his head dropped forward, causing his shaggy bangs to shadow his face. His ears drooped pitifully low and his tail lay limp on the floor, dragging behind him when he moved a few steps closer to the bed. He looked as if he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.
The figure he was so intently watching was distinctly female, her curves showing through the covers which only came up to her waist. She wore a modest nightgown made of soft cotton with a low scoop neck. It was beige in color with a light pastel pink trim. Her long dark hair was splayed around her on the pillow, her face peaceful and calm.
A clawed finger moved to gently brush against a soft pale cheek. The woman moved slightly in her sleep, leaning closer into the gentle caress.
"Inu..." she sighed, before slipping back into deep sleep.
The youkai stumbled back a bit, startled by the soft word she uttered. A soft, sad smile graced his features and he moved towards the window to leave. This would be his last time coming here. He couldn't keep living like this.
He was about to step out of the window when the door to the room opened with a soft movement of air. Cursing himself for not making sure the others in the house were asleep, he turned to face the person who had interrupted him in his rare moment of weakness.
Wide, scared golden eyes stared back at him from across the room. His eyes softened immediately at the sight of the small child. It was a little boy, no more than three years old.
He was probably around 2'4" and his face was still chubby with baby fat. Small, white triangular ears, much like the man's own, rested on top of the small boy's head, flattened back in fear. Messy silver hair cropped short framed his face while two long eartails hid the fact that normal human ears were absent. A small, button nose was situated between his large, golden eyes and small, baby fangs peeked from his slightly open mouth. He wore a pair of drawstring shorts stopping slightly above his knees and a white t- shirt that appeared five sizes too big. It fell off one shoulder and almost completely covered his shorts. His arms were drawn up to his chest in fear, the fingertips ending in soft, baby claws. He was clearly hanyou; it was noticeable by his scent.
The youkai took a few steps towards the door, being slow in an attempt to not frighten the small boy. The child was too frightened to even think of moving or uttering a sound. Smelling the boy's fear, the youkai tried to do something to abate it. Waving his tail slowly behind him, he drew the boy's attention to it. Bringing it forward, he plopped it softly on top of the boy's head, eliciting a soft giggle. The boy moved it away from his face to look up into the face of the man. He was smiling softly, allowing the boy to hold onto his tail. The boy let out a cheerful grin, deciding this intruder was not harmful.
The youkai crouched down in front of the boy, giving him a small grin.
"Shouldn't you be in bed little guy?" he asked softly.
"I had to go to the bathroom. Then I smelled a weird smell from Mommy's room so I came to see what it was," the boy whispered back in an adorable voice.
The man melted.
"Well, lets get you tucked back into bed then. You should be asleep pup."
"Aww...I don' wanna go," the little boy whined, yawning promptly after.
Chuckling softly, the youkai wrapped his tail around the little hanyou's waist, hoisting him up onto his back. The boy wrapped his arms around his neck and clung tightly as he walked out the door. Turning back, he gazed at the figure on the bed one last time. She was still asleep, if her deep, even breathing was any indicator. Closing the door behind him, he proceeded to walk down the hall towards the room he had been looking into before.
Back inside the room he just left, the woman on the bed curled up tighter into a ball, hot tears running down her face. She had been awake for most of the youkai's visit, having learned of them earlier. It surprised her that he even came to visit, and she hadn't expected him to be so gentle, to either her or her son. Although, when she thought of it, it shouldn't have. She had been about to stop him from leaving when her son had entered the room. Through slightly open eyes, she had seen the moment when his eyes had softened at facing the small boy. The slow, deliberate steps taken to ensure he wouldn't be frightened. It scared her somewhat, the fact that he was being gentle. It made her start to question whether her decision had been the right one. Hugging a pillow close, she silently cried harder into it, hoping it would muffle her sounds to his sensitive hearing.
"Oh InuYasha..."
