Author's Note: I know, I'm not really good in writing one shots and this is my first attempt but this story keeps running in my mind that it won't give me a rest but I don't know how to write this, but after reading my mythology book it give me some inspiration on how to put this on the paper. I don't really mind if you won't pay attention to review for this story but I hope you will just read this so that it won't bother me anymore. Thanks a lot.

She was just a simple village girl who take care a handful of animals. She lives her life in a simple way, doing the same routine everyday but her beauty was incomparable. No human girl in the village can compare her beauty to her but she remained humble about her beauty. She would smile in every stranger that she would pass by, sing a song to those who are weary and offer a help to some helpless traveler. Rin, is indeed beautiful in appearance but also inside. She is so beautiful and kind that the villagers believe that it is the cause of her singular fate.

At night, while she is watching over her herd in the field, the cold air will touch her bare skin and the dew will wet her silky black hair. She has a small fire to keep her warm and a soft blanket to cover her but tonight, the air is so cold that her blanket is not enough to keep neither her warm nor her fire. The night became deep and she had lulled herself to sleep as the crescent moon smiled at her while she sleeps.

Unknown to her, for many nights that she had stayed in the field, a pair of eyes had been watching her. Those molten gold eyes that watch her and her herd looks at her with longing every single night. He is the lord of the night, with silver hair that glitters at the touch of the moon light, garment white and pure that seems to glow in radiant light. He is indeed a beauty to behold to be seen by a mortal. He had fallen in love with this fair maiden, in her voice as she sings and her kindness and every night he would kneel down and stare at her sleeping face but not tonight. He saw her shiver in the cold and he went down from the moon where he sits and lay with her to keep her warm.

She can feel the warm that slowly cover her body. Gentle arms wrapped around her for protection and soft caresses in her face. She wants to open her eyes and see the man who is keeping her warm but oh, is there a magic in the air? She can't open her eyes to see him; she can feel she is slowly drifting to a deep sleep. Before the sleep had over taken her, she nuzzles on his warm chest and let herself be drifted to sleep.

Now holding the woman he loves in his arms, his happiness is overwhelming. She looks beautiful and no goddess can compare to her beauty. She is in his arms now and he can make her his but she is mortal and he is the lord of the night, he cannot have her. He curses their twisted fate, he had seen the men trying to woo her and feel jealous of them for they have the privilege to have her which he cannot. The dawn is coming and the maiden lay sleeping in his arms. He slowly withdraws from the embrace and return to the moon.

Rin woke up as the sun plant a kiss on her cheeks; she sat up and recalls the happenings the night before. Could it be just a dream? But if it is dream she hopes she will never wake up again if it happens for she wants to stay in those arms forever. She brushes the thoughts and prepared herself to return back to her village. On her way, she can't keep her mind off about the night before. She can feel the warm of his embrace lingering in her skin. She is so eager to know about him believing he is real. She hastens her steps and run toward the wisest woman in her village. She is very old and live long years and surely she will know the answer to her question.

She reaches the home of the wise woman and eagerly told her about what happened the night before. The old woman looks at her with amazement when she finished her story. The woman told her that he is no ordinary man. He is the ruler of the night, feared by everyone; he is the great lord Sesshomaru. Even though he never harm a human but still he is powerful and can easily harm any creature. He paid no attention to humans and if what happened is indeed true then it is unusual for it to happen. Rin leave the old woman and contemplate on what she said. She cannot deny the fact that she had fallen in love with the lord and hoping he feels the same way.

Night came and she stayed awake looking at the moon. The night in the field is calm and her herd is safe from danger. Her thoughts are filled with the man who she long to see. As the night become deep, she fell asleep without her noticing. She is in such deep sleep that she did not see the man she long for descent and sat beside her sleeping figure. He caress her face as if it will be last, he listens to her steady breathing like it's a music in his ears and be drown by her scent.

Unknown to him, the wise woman followed the girl and had witness the descending of this magnificent creature. His beauty is beyond compare but his eyes is filled with sorrow and longing for the girl. He had loved her dearly but she is so far from his reach. All that can satisfy his longing is to look at her sleeping face and wonder what words will come out from those pink lips, what emotion will show in those close eyes the moment she will she him. The old woman had seen this and can do nothing to help him. They are separated by a veil, thin yet heavy. Fate is the cruel thing that ever happened to them.

Later on the villagers learned about it and feel sad toward the couple. It brings tears to everyone who had heard the story of this two, but never did the fair maiden saw the beautiful creature that had love her and the creature never know how much the maiden love him and how she spend sleeping thinking that he will always come if she fell asleep and he will come taking his chance to see her.
