"Life is a phobia of emotions. If you hide from them, you lose everything; if you face them, you get stronger." – Anonymous

Jasmine: (Huge grin) Well, since Samuraduck27-chan was my first reviewer (and my only reviewer) and has requested a few pairings (plus, 'cause I love her SO much), I decided to just update now. (Bigger grin)
Miroku: (Laughs) My, aren't we being generous today, Jazzy?
Jasmine: (Rolls eyes) Okay…this one's a bit abstract-ish…and I need to explain the title. "Ice Gold" really means "Ice Cold". Kagome is referring to Sesshomaru's eyes when she says "gold". But…enough of my babbling…

Ice Gold

I stare into his eyes…

So beautiful, their never-ending amber.

But all I see is…ice gold.

"…Kagome…"

Frozen,

cold,

bitter.

But that isn't all that he is…

I know, for I've seen the real him.

Even if he hides it away between thick layers of…ice gold.

"Yeah, Sesshomaru…?"

Frigid,

icy,

chill.

Someday I shall find his emotions again…

They are merely lost for now, nothing more.

Stuck behind an almost-impenetrable sheet of…ice gold.

"…"

Snow,

frost,

sleet.

He'll love me, eventually…

Surely he cannot remain indifferent for much longer…

And I'll melt that ice gold away, and finally find…his true eyes.

"Hee hee…I love you too, Sess."

Even if it takes me a lifetime.

Warmth,

affection,

tenderness.

Jasmine: Well, there ya' have it! Now, I'm off to write the Rin/Kohaku, see ya'!
