Between the Lines

 

She could never be sure if they were real, that brand of indigo, those red slashes, the burning line of magenta across his eyelids. They seemed out of place on such a pale, translucent face. As her feet followed his, and days turned to years, she grew accustomed to them as she grew accustomed to all the little nuances that endeared him to her. There were days that she thought on them very little, and others that she spent her time devoted to their study, as though she decode them and unlock the guarded secrets of his dark yokai heart.

 

Despite her curiosity, she never touched them, neither as a child or that awkward half-woman she became. The threat of his displeasure was enough to still her brazen fingers.

 

But then it was he, her fierce guardian, who came to her in the stillness of the night with lust drunk eyes. All her youthful fear was swallowed by the desperate yearnings of her heart She tested her tongue along each fine line, breathed a whisper against his brow and each lid was softly kissed. In this way she made those marks, as mysterious and ethereal as him, her own. And with each gasp and every whispered sigh, she ended the experiment he began those years ago with an experiment of her own.
