Moonlit Showers

A chill breeze blew across the limbs of a barren tree, causing a lone amber leaf to slowly drift to the ground. It spiraled through the sky as if performing its last dance, fluttering delicately through the air. At last, it finally came to rest on a mound of carefully packed soil, settling next to a single pink carnation, the flower being a symbol to never forget.

A broken smile

A lone figure stepped out of the shadows of the trees, clad in magnificent armor and seeming to almost glow. His pointed ears gave away his demon race and as he stepped forward, he seemed to make all other things pale in comparison to his beauty. The creature's silver hair flowed out behind like a cape as his amber eyes narrowed upon the small mound in front of him.

Lord Sesshoumaru

A small tombstone was located at the head of this sacred mound. It was rounded, small, and seemed not to do justice to the being whom it was made for.

I want to be with Lord Sesshoumaru forever

The demon griped the sword at his waist. It was the Tenseiga, the sword fabled to save a hundred lives in one swing. But it could not save one girl.

Someday, after I've died, will you remember me?

Cold amber eyes softened almost imperceptibly. She was just a human girl, and fate had decided it was her time to die. Humans were weak and fragile. A powerful being such as himself should not be concerned with such a lowly creature.

After I've died….

But…

Will you remember me?

The man stood there for hours, staring at the small little grave as if he could see into the past if he stared long enough. He finally turned away, but not before a single drop of water fell onto the small pink carnation.

Such a foolish thing…

As his footsteps carried him father from the lonely little shrine, the first snowflake fell onto his cheek like a regretful kiss.

A/N: Well, how was that? I was trying to explore the old saying, "You never know what you've got 'till it's gone" through Sesshoumaru and Rin. Leave a review to tell me how you liked it please.
