UNDER A SILVERY MOON: A JAPANESE ENCOUNTER

Under A Silvery Moon - A Japanese Encounter.
Written by Sandra Scholes


"So it's you whose been harassing the villagers?"

Kyo watched the spirit shift around nervously outside the mansion house, its fur was a bright pure white, fox ears pointed to the heavens, dark eyes glittered in the night, but most of all he noticed it smiled at him. It moved with such lightening speed that he could not see it, though he was mesmerised by its presence enough to keep observing it then the fox was gone, replaced by a male with pale skin and long white hair that framed his handsome if lustful face.

A wondering monk, Kyo had become used to sleeping in the harsh weather with only a couple of sheets wrapped around him to partly keep the elements at bay, giving him the kind of warmth he desired. He hoped for sleep to refresh him but instead was woken by the spirit, then the male turning on his side, losing the sheets.
