Reaka: I'm on a roll tonight! I might actually finish this thing! I'm queen of the rock! And there's nothing you girls can do about it! Yep, I'm watching Mulan, yet again. I love this movie! Now...
Let's get down to business! To read....this chapter!
Hey, here's a random question. You know in Mulan, the part where they discover Mulan's a girl? If you look closely does anyone else notice the Japanese flag on the medical tent? Does that seem a little odd to anyone else besides me? And if Mushu was going to spit shine the helmet to show Mulan's reflection, why would he spit shine the front when he's showing her reflection from the back? I'm done now.
To the Reviewer!
Reese Craven: Thanks. I do agree that chapter could've been better. I was just going back and...yeah. You get the picture there.
The Full Moon
The moonlight shone through the only window in the room Maru and Remus were locked in. To prepare for the change, he took off his shirt. He looked to Maru, surprised her expression didn't change. There was no fear on her face as they waited for the change.
" Maru," he said. " Why are you still staying with me?"
She didn't answer him. Instead, she stood at her end of the room watching the scene before her. Nothing was happening.
" I don't understand," he said. " I'd have been a werewolf by now. What's going on?"
Maru looked at him and started to walk closer.
" No! Don't!" he exclaimed. " I might still change into my wolf form. Don't come any closer."
" Remus, don't you think you would've changed by now? Something's happening. I think you might be free from your curse."
" How? I don't understand."
" You said you would've been a werewolf by now right? Something must've happened to make you free."
Remus looked away from her and turned to face the moonlight. He didn't feel the familiar pain that came with the cursed change anymore. He felt nothing. Turning, he faced Maru. In the moonlight, she looked so beautiful to him. As he looked in her eyes, he noticed the faint blue that the moonlight accentuated.
" Maru, you're so beatiful right now."
Maru blinked then smiled. Remus looked like an immortal in the silvery light. She approached him carefully in case he would turn into the wolf at an unexpected moment. When she was within arm's reach of him, she stopped. Remus looked at her curiously.
" Remember all those years ago at Lily's wedding?" Maru asked. " Remember how we danced that night?"
He looked at her, not understanding where she was going with this.
" Dance with me, Remus," she said. " Please."
He took her hand, and they started to dance to that long ago waltz. Maru started to hum a song she heard on the radio a week before now.
We were in love before, but now it's so much more.
Cause when I kiss your lips I can't explain
What I feel in my heart for you.
I don't know what I'd do, baby if I lost you
Cause I've been without you and I know how it feels.
And I can't be alone anymore.
He twirled her then they took another step. Maru laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Remus looked down on her and smiled.
I know it's more than love, baby, I can feel it.
When I'm close to you.
I know it's more than love, baby, do you?
They glided together across the room. With another twirl, then a dip, they danced some more.
Maybe my words can't explain
Why I'm feeling this way.
The dancing stopped, and the two of them laid on the floor. Maru's head rested against his chest. He looked down at her stroking her hair. She looked up at him and smiled.
I don't know what I'd do, baby, if I lost you.
Cause I've been without you, and I know how it feels
And I can't be alone anymore.
At that moment, Maru kissed his neck, then she kissed his lips. He held her close to him savoring the kiss they shared. She felt his tonuge run across her lips and opened her mouth to let him in.
I know it's more than love, baby I can feel it.
When I'm close to you.
I know it's more than love, baby I can feel it.
When I'm close to you.
" I love you," they said in unison.
I know it's more than love, baby, do you?
Reaka: There you go. A sappy chapter for your entertainment. Isn't that nice? I do not own this song either. This song, " More Than Love" is property of the Los Lonely Boys. A very good band, and everyone should get their CD. It's a nice CD. I will explain why Remus never changed into his wolf form in the next chapter. Until then, see you!
