Summary: That this had happened because of his lack of control didn't faze him in the least. No, instead it was the taste of utter fear on his tongue that made his predicament all the more bitter. That the other male was involved made it all the more sour. Angst, Suspense, Romance, AU.


Bitter

Eyes wide in utter disbelief as he stared down at a now clawless hand, Sesshoumaru finally lost control of all the hard-won decorum he'd amassed throughout his prestigious life as a daiyoukai, heart pounding so loud and so hard beneath his ribcage he could feel it beating heavily against his chest, as if it'd burst through all layers of bone, muscle and skin.

His eyes rolled slowly to the dark tresses spilling down his chest to either side of his shoulders as if the deliberate delay in seeing them would somehow make the reality less so.

Midnight black hair...

Sesshoumaru suddenly felt lightheaded.

And that feeling coursing through him was the last straw.

Sesshoumaru fell to his knees, a sharp crack echoing throughout the barren terrain as pain shot piercingly through his limbs. Blurry-eyed and beyond furious all the once proud youkai could do was stare at his shaking hand in front of him.

Human...

He was... human.

The winter sky was as unforgiving as the one who did this to him as the white sky blew its icy touch across his now sensitive skin, chilling him further to the bone.

Human...was his last curse before the weakness of his new body caught up with and engulfed him.

Author's Note: Very important about this story: each chapter will be of varying lengths. These are written sort of as a series of flashbacks. See if you can piece this puzzle of a story together as it goes and figure out which ones fall into what order before the end. Originally wrote this first chapter/intro as a prompt from Kaytla. She said to write a drabble based on a human Sesshoumaru fanart by Alex Zoe.
