Dance For Freedom by Singe-dreams

Chapter one

Chapter one

All around is darkness, no light shines from anywhere. Then the darkness lifts around the edge of the area until a forest is visible. One dark spot is left in the center, but as he gazes the darkness brightens and changes. A girl is left kneeling on the ground. She slowly stands with her arms raised above her head; one foot is curved and hovering a few inches above the ground as she balances on the other foot. She stands this way for a few moments. Long enough for him to look at her beautifully balanced and arched body.

She is wearing a long flowing green dress. It has no sleeves to show off her creamy smooth skin. The neckline is cut low to reveal the soft curve of the top of her breasts. Few thoughts are left to the imagination as the dress clings on her body to outline all her curves. Folds in the dress area the surrounds her feet show all the extra material that hide all but her feet.

A blue scarf is folded and wrapped around her long black hair to keep it in a ponytail. A few strands escape and frame her face. Her face shows a full and lush mouth and a small pert nose. The most intriguing feature though is her crystal blue eyes framed with long black eyelashes and above them small perfectly shaped eyebrows. Her crystal eyes seem to light up her entire face and the surrounding forest.

His examination of her stops as she slowly begins to move. She sways with the slowly blowing wind. Faster and faster she dances, twisting and turning. Her dress flies up and shows her long shapely legs. Her hair swings with her movements.

Every movement is so graceful and perfectly in time with a music he can't hear.

One thought graces his mind, 'beautiful.'

She brings her dance to an end with one last turn and kneels back on the ground. Applause sound from the trees. Others were watching the dance. Her body glistens with a small layer of sweat and her body shakes with the force of her deep breaths.

From the ground she looks up and his golden eyes meet her blue ones. She smiles brightly at him.

As if drawn to her he walks forward slowly, only to have the scene fade back into darkness.

In a huge castle Lord Sesshomaru of the western lands wakes up from his sleep.

'That dream, what was that dream?' He asks himself.

He thinks about the dream and replays it in his mind. The girl's movements haunt him.

'It seemed so real.' He thinks.

And in the private silence of his chamber he softly breathes one word.

"Beautiful."
