Blind Eyes See All

by YoungCat

Naraku, though evil, has found a blossoming friendship with a blind, homeless woman. However, the relationship is completely one sided, as the nameless girl has no idea the evil hanyou exists; yet. Rated M for later chapters. Cover art by me.

1. Chapter 1

A/N, so I've been reading short chapter fanfiction, and I actually love it, so I'm going to attempt one. Here we go, hope you like it. :)

The scorching heat of the summer day had him worried. Where could she be? he wondered, eyes searching every dark corner, every tree, for any sign of his only passing pleasure. As his sight landed on a nearby river, Naraku sighed in relief when he found who he was looking for. She was ragged, worn, element chapped, and at the moment stark naked, playing in the river; short, roughly cut hair was matted, and her skin was covered in scars. A homely face, littered with freckles and pock marks, scrunched from the cold. Full, chapped lips now smiled in relief as she found sanctuary from the searing heat of summer. Her malnourished frame shook, and unhealthy skin rose in goosebumps.

However ghastly she appeared, Naraku couldn't help the catch in his breath, or the knot in his stomach when her eyes turned his way. Milky blue, unseeing eyes, never knowing he was right there in front of her. She was blind since birth, or so he guessed, because she moved with such ease among the forest. He saw what many didn't in that wise, yet innocent face. He saw an outcast like himself, and he also saw more beauty etched in her than any noblewoman of Japan.
