When Hazel Eyes meet Golden
by Takari AAF

Chapter 2: Was This Fate?

The man was dressed in a tight fitting black sweater-turtleneck and black pants. He stared down at her, his golden eyes boring into her very being.

"Are you alright?" he asked in a cold voice.

Kikyou was at a loss for words. She was mesmerized by his eyes. There was something in them… something special that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Meanwhile, the man lifted an eyebrow, confused by her lack of words. What is with this young woman?

"Are you deaf, or just stupid?" he asked in the same cold tone as before.

Upon hearing his words again, she snapped out of her reverie. "My apologies," she said, her cheeks aflame, directing her eyes to the ground beneath her feet. She pulled out of his grasp and bowed slightly. "Yes, I'm quite fine. Thank you for catching me, sir."

'I've seen this girl before… she seems familiar' the man thought.

"Oh I remember where I've seen her before," he said out loud.

Kikyou immediately looked up, not understanding. "Excuse me?"

His long silver hair swayed in the light breeze as he smirked. "You were my half-brother's wench," he said, with slight disgust.

"Who are you to call me a wench! And what do you mean your brother?" she asked.

He laughed in spite of himself. "Half-brother, woman. And have you not the faintest clue as to who this person could possibly be?"

"The only man I have dated is Inuyasha," she said. As soon as the words left her mouth, she gasped. "YOU are Inuyasha's older half-brother!"

"Don't refer to me as such. My name is Sesshoumaru, wench," he said, crossing his arms.

Kikyou's eyes narrowed in anger. "I have a name, you know. It's Kikyou, not wench, as you so rudely refer to me as."

"This Sesshoumaru does not care," he said, rather amused by her anger.

"I should have expected as much from Inuyasha's brother. You two are so alike," she said angrily, turning to walk away.

Sesshoumaru reached out and grabbed her left arm, whirling her around to face him. She crashed into him yet again.

"Don't you ever compare this Sesshoumaru to that pathetic hanyou. I am nothing like him, and don't you ever forget that," he growled, his eyes full with anger and rage.

"You're hurting my arm," was her cold, simple reply.

He smirked, and released her arm. "You are different from his usual pursuits," he said.

Kikyou couldn't quite tell if it was a compliment or an insult. "And what pretail does that mean?"

"It's as close to a compliment as you'll ever get from me, woman," he said, his voice not quite as cold as before.

"I see. In that case, thank you… I think," she said, unsure of what to say.

He looked around for a second. "I assume you are alone. Why are you not with my hanyou half-brother?" he inquired.

At this question, Kikyou's eyes welled up with tears. She turned her gaze to rest on the street lights to the right of her, not wanting to make a spectacle of herself in front of him.

"To put it simply, we parted ways," she said, her voice barely audible.

He was about to make a derogatory comment, when he saw a single tear fall from her eye and run down her pale cheek. Obviously, he has broken her heart, for why else would she shed tears? Why do I feel sorry for her? She is but a mere human, and yet… I feel some form of sorrow for her… This Sesshoumaru does not feel sorrow or pity for others, much less a pathetic human..

Sesshoumaru turned away from the battle within him, and focused on Kikyou. "It's rather pathetic to cry over such a waste of space. I loathe him with ever fiber of my being. I do not see how someone could fall for one such as he," he said with disgust.

Kikyou wiped the tear from her cheek. "One cannot decide who it is the heart beats for. The heart cannot be controlled nor will it allow itself to be," she said, trying desperately to keep her voice even.

He studied her for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "I do not understand you, woman," he said. "Pathetic humans."

She looked up at him, puzzled. "Aren't you calling yourself pathetic by saying that?"

Sesshoumaru laughed. "Wench, do not take me for being human. This Sesshoumaru is the exact opposite of a weak human. I'm a youkai, and I would have thought you'd have realized that. You are a priestess, are you not?"

Her eyes widened. How could I have not recognized such a strong demon aura? He is right, I should have realized this. What is wrong with me? This is all your fault, Inuyasha! Why did you betray me!

Sesshoumaru saw anger flash in her eyes then quickly dissipate. Weak human… she can't even control her emotions…

"Why did you betray me, Inuyasha?" Kikyou unconsciously repeated aloud.

Upon hearing that, he turned her to look at him. "What are you babbling about?"

"It is of none of your concern," she said coldly.

"Whatever. It's not as if I give a damn anyway," he replied, his voice equally cold. He turned as if to go when Kikyou started to talk.

"He told me he never loved me, that he didn't want a relationship. I loved him with all of my heart, and I know it sounds 'pathetic and weak' to you, but I care not. Then today, he drove up to my house, something he never did for he had never asked to come to my house. I was so sure he was there to see me. I ran down the steps to him, only to be told he wasn't there to see me, that he must have come to the wrong house, but no, at that moment my sister Kagome came running down… and into his waiting arms," she said, a mixture of resentment and sadness boiling up inside of her. Hot tears welled up in her eyes and fell in streams down her smooth cheeks. There was no stopping them this time. They came faster and faster still, no sign of an end coming.

Without even thinking of what he was doing, he reached out and pulled her against him. Kikyou leaned her head against his chest, crying into it.

A sudden noise interrupted the tranquility of the moment.

"What the fuck is going on here!" an angry voice shouted.

To Be Continued..
