Blinding

I sat on the porch steps, staring at the sunset. I heard footsteps behind me and knew she was there, watching me.

"Inuyasha?" Her voice was a little uncertain.

"Yeah." I raised a cigarette to my lips and took a drag. She didn't say anything further, and I knew she was facing the sunset. Feeling the sun on her face. I didn't turn. I didn't want to see her eyes, usually a clear blue, misty and shuttered. While I didn't look at her, I didn't have to believe it was true.

It doesn't take enough time to smoke a cigarette.
