Author's Note: Hey there! It's been forever. I am so busy that I don't even know how I managed to type this small chapter, but I am going to try to keep up with it as often as possible. Right now I go to school full time (Monday to Friday) and I work full shifts on Saturday and Sunday. On top of that I have my homework and readings. I hope you have all been well and remain interested in this story!
Please review. It makes my day!
ALSO, HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

Prompt: Eyes
When Miroku stepped from the secret room he caught the tail end of a conversation. It was subtle and hushed, which was intriguing.
"… Brown when they should be blue, while hers are blue and should be brown."
"I know. It's uncanny, but it makes sense, considering that she is a descendant. You would expect things to be jumbled up a bit. I am more amazed by the fact that he's so similar. What are the chances?"
"Sounds like slim to none," Miroku joked as he stepped from behind the shelf separating him from his friends. They both turned to glance at him.
"Done with your studying already?" Shippo questioned, smiling. InuYasha didn't say anything, but appeared to be lacking energy that afternoon. Miroku nodded and drew over a chair, sitting and leaning it back on two legs.
"I still haven't been able to bring myself to go into it whole-heartedly, not matter how bad that makes me look. Oddly enough, I get more done when Sango is here."
InuYasha snorted, "that's because you try to show off for her. Don't even try to hide it, because you are transparent."
"I guess you've got me pegged," Miroku grinned. "I can't help it. She is absolutely mesmerising."
"Well, no one could say that you have problems with your eyes," Shippo laughed. "You like brunettes, then?" Miroku blinked one, then frowned. The chair he sat on dropped down onto all four legs again, and he frowned.
"It's not like that, and you know it," he replied.
"I know, I was just giving you a hard time. For what it's worth, I hope that she realizes just how serious you are."
