Amber eyes. Deep, pooling colors of gold and yellow mixing with varying hues of browns and oranges. His eyes always held a cold glint, seemingly emotionless depths swirling with mysterious energies. He had the type of eyes anyone could get lost in, the type of eyes that cast a spell that rooted a person in place with their majesty. The Killing Perfect, Sesshomaru, the meaning of his name never quite seemed to do him justice but one could suppose there would be no other name to come close. He was, after all, perfection and he knew and strove to keep such an image in place. Even as he stared down a strong-willed female, did he hold to such perfect grace.
Expressive and every changing eyes stared back into the demon's own swirling depths. Where his seemed cold, lifeless or bored, her seemed alive, spinning with untapped emotions and held onto his with a high understanding and deep interest. Wood and rich soil would best explain her eyes, the mixing of the hues and swirling of her own emotion set before the demon an intricate display within her eyes. He was not captured, as she was, he had a motive for staring down at her, she was caught off guard and caught within his stare. She wasn't going to complain though.
"Answer me, female." His baritone voice rumbled calmly in the air around her. They stood close but not close enough to be considered a friendly or intimate closeness, he wanted information and she was prone to flight when cornered.
"I-I.." Kagome's soft voice responded. She didn't quite understand what he was asking of her or why. She'd be gone from this era for nearly 3 years and had no idea the location of the topic. As soon as the well filled with magic and delivered her back here, back to the time she claimed as now as her home, he was upon her, lifting her easily from the well and placing her softly on the ground beside the well. She barely had the chance to fill her lungs with the fresh air before he questioned her.
"I will only ask once more, female, and you will provide this one with the proper answer. Where is my little brother?" Sesshomaru stepped towards her slowly, not to scare her but to make his point that he was not playing games. He would have his answer.
"Lord Sesshomaru, I can't tell you that! I just got back here after three years!" She explained, worry filling her voice and her evocative eyes, those eyes reminding suddenly of Rin's not too long ago. Kagome straightened her back to make herself feel a bit more confident in the face of this male. He scared her, yes, but it wasn't a fear of death type scare, it was something else and it was something new and nagging.
"I know this, female, shortly after you vanished from this world, the half-breed went to this place and allowed its magic to take him to your world. Least this was the explanation the Huntress gave me. And it was to this ones understanding that once you returned, as would he." Sesshomaru stopped his movement about a foot from her and tilted his head barely to the side, had Kagome not been studying him herself she would have missed such a small movement and said head tilt made her smile a bit, it reminded her of a confused puppy.
"I'm sorry Lord Sesshomaru, I didn't seem him in my world nor did I know he went after me.. As far I knew the well sealed itself once the wish was made. I didn't know it was open after words or that it would allow Inuyasha to pass thru… but knowing that now worries me. Has he really been gone as long I have?" Kagome now looked away too to glance back at the well. It still sing with the remaining magic from her jump but it did not feel any different than it had any other time. Why and how had it allowed Inuyasha to pass and where was he?
"Very well. It seems I will not find my answers from you as I had originally hoped." With that said he faced Inuyasha's forest and began to walk away. His foot falls making no sound as he seemed to glide away from Kagome. Even his movements seem perfect and thought out. It really wasn't fair. He made it to the treeline before he turned to glance at the female.
"The monk and the Huntress are in the Demon Hunter's village. However, Priestess Kaede and my ward dwell in the village below the hill."
Kagome, who had been shamelessly watching Sesshomaru leave, felt her cheeks warm with the realization she'd just been caught staring but nodded. It was strange that he offered that information to her without prompt but she felt it best not to speak, least he asks what she was staring at. She wasn't sure she could handle that line of questioning, so with the nod, she began down the hill. She would see Kaede and Rin first and then decide her next move. She didn't see the Amber eyes watching her as she went.
