S for Star
"Why do you keep staring at the sky?" Souta had asked her when she had sat back on her chair. She had come home for the weekend, to study for the upcoming test. Her mother had been delighted to have her back and showed the said happiness by hugging her for almost an hour. The miko almost felt guilty for not returning to her birth realm often. Yet, she couldn't help but feel that her heart belonged to the feudal era, next to certain someone.
She had been doing her piled up homework, until the night had blanketed the sky. Her eyes had danced gleefully, tracing each twinkles that were sewed like precious gems in the heavens.
She almost soared away, blending in to the night's kiss when her vision rested on the silver crescent. A silly smile edged her lips, her heart drummed in a rhythm and she sighed. It was as if the demon lord had inhabited the sky for her, to grace her with his own gaze. She felt blessed and light.
And the sigh from her had made Souta to ask that question. Her eyes glimmered; her chest ached with the delightful reminiscences and with memories that resided permanently in her heart, and her smile widened with a realisation.
"Because , Souta, the star's glitter for us, giving us hope, helping us to remember that even with all the distances and miles and time, we all live under a single sky."
