Title: "Junbi" Featuring: Ken Watanabe/Tom Cruise Rating: PG Summary: Tom watches. Disclaimer: Never happened. Notes: For this drabble challenge. The steady rain cast a grey pall on everything -- the houses, the earth, the sky -- muting color, blocking sound, erasing memory and time. Nothing existed except this endless moment, endless horizon, endless now. Tom watched, fascinated, as Ken's sword flashed, slicing through the rain, each movement a study in grace, economy. Nimble, bare feet dancing over muddy ground, arms twisting high above Ken's head as he pirouetted, brought the blade down, eyes bright, laughter coloring the landscape in sharp, bold strokes. Tom didn't know the Japanese word for beautiful -- but thought the character might resemble a sword. Or a smile. If you enjoyed this fic, please leave feedback here. Thanks!
