Moon Child
By: TigressMoon
With the dawning of the full moon, the world of two very different creatures is about to change forever. One was Sesshoumaru, Demon Lord of the Western Lands. The other was Kagome Higurashi, the daughter of the Moon and Heir to the Heavens. The two will face limitless dangers together, and each will bring them closer. But when that same bond threatens the life of one of them. Will they chose to love and die, or set the other free and live?
Prologue: Worries Of a Goddess
High above the earth, on a cloud like new fallen snow, a young woman lay just waking. She rose from her slumber and shook sleep from her eyes. It did not startle her that she had woken up on a cloud hovering above the earth, nor that she was alone there.
On the contrary this was a normal happening for her. Kagome Higurashi, daughter of the Moon and Heir to the Heavens, was used to waking up in odd places. She was a vision of ethereal beauty, if there ever was one.
Her skin was like new formed ivory and just as smooth. She was tall and willowy in build, with long supple limbs and luscious curves. Her had full, welcoming lips and a face women would kill for . Long black lashes framed her slightly slanted eyes, the color themselves were that of a moonbeam, silver flicked with blue.
Her hair was luxuriously long and glistening, its ebony hue standing out against the white of her skin. The last six inches were nearly the same color as her eyes. Just above the hollow of her breast, the symbol of her mother could be seen.
A full moon flanked by two crescents, that was the symbol of the Great Mother Goddess. By her side were her two faithful companions. They looked like wolves with only a few differences. They were too big for their species; both were nearly six feet in height with solid coats instead of mixed.
Their legs were longer, and their heads were broader than that of their earthly brethren. It also was not normal for a wolf to have three tails. But these creatures were not normal; they were servants of the Moon Goddess and protector of her daughter.
It was fitting that they change to accommodate their mistress's needs. The sable colored male rose and nuzzled closer to the woman. The snow-white female, his mate, followed obediently. "Good evening Dusk, evening Moonlight."
She told them, her voice melodious on the wind. She stood up to let her large ivory wings spread out around her. She smiled when the night air caressed her wings. Content, she took a moment to look around her.
The view was beautiful; the lush meadows lay below, a cascading waterfall lay behind and dense jungle to her front. The moon was beginning to rise over the horizon. Her eyes stopped at the moon and continued to watch it.
****Good evening my daughter. ****
A voice sounded in her head. The voice was eerie and beautiful; it resonated in her very bones. Yet deep beyond the ethereal voice, a hunt song of wolves could be heard in its depths.
****Good evening mother, ****
Kagome replied. She stared deeply at the moon, and finally found the face of her mother. It smiled down at her, and she could not help but return it. Dusk and Moonlight howled their greeting.
****Daughter I am troubled**** The Goddess declared.
****Why mother? **** Kagome asked.
****Something is coming, something my immortal eyes cannot see.*** She replied; it was evident in her voice that she was worried.
****Is it something bad?**** Kagome inquired.
****I do not know my child, but I want you to be on alert till then. Do not stray far from Dusk and Moonlight.**** The Goddess cautioned.
****All right mother I will, I'm going to go what the star shower with Malachi. I will return before sunrise.**** Kagome promised.
****Malachi? I truly wish you would leave that creature alone Kagome. There is something about him that I do not trust him.**** Her mother replied. Kagome smiled and said.
****Do not worry, I will be careful. Besides I trust Malachi. Good-bye mother. **** She added and began flying away; her companions close behind. The Goddess sighed as she watched her beautiful daughter fly away.
****I hope your trust is well placed my daughter, Good-bye.****
