Chapter 2: What am I?

"Sesshoumaru..."

He blinked.

"Miko"

I gave him a wry smile. With his hair glistening under the sun, I felt my breath hitch as old memories flooded my brain.

His hair felt like silk on my hands, like flowing water through my fingertips. I felt his shoulders move before hearing a deep chuckle caress my ears. Goosebumps littered my limbs as I shivered inadvertently.

"Is my hair alone so fascinating that you would ignore This Sesshoumaru?"

I could feel myself smiling at his words, but I said no reply. With my eyes closed I leaned forward and touched my forehead onto his, revelling on the heat he so naturally exuded. I breathed in his scent of fresh pine, ozone and thunder, the distinct smell of his power...Chills ran down my back.

I could feel the prickly sensation of his stare, and I stifled a laugh. He was never one for being ignored.

The first thing I saw upon opening my eyes was him, his amber orbs...and he has beautiful eyes, the kind you could get lost in...and I guess, I did.

With the intent of covering my sight from him, I lifted up my hand only to find myself bound with chains. I grimaced.

I could sense the power the chains were restraining. It was swirling, bubbling, threatening to burst from their confines. My breath hitched.

Frail, normal, human hands were replaced with claws.

I could the panic rising up throat. I looked towards him... and somehow, I felt a sense of deja vu.

My eyes burned.

"Sesshoumaru"


A/N: I feel as if I've written 'eyes' so many times and it bothers me...
