THE NEXUS OF SATISFACTION
chapter 4
fire.



At first glance, one would probably describe Sesshoumaru as the very core of an unbreakable iceberg. Nothing seems to intimidate him, to change that face with an indescribable expression, or lack thereof. At the very best, one could ignite the flames of anger and that would be the only time when his expression was readable. In the cold arctic it remains rigid, a pillar of frozen water that climbs the heavens in solitary determination.

At first glance, one would probably describe Kagome as the flickering flame of the fire. She was an open book of emotions such as anger, love, and hatred. Sometimes the flames are calm, even soothing, but occasionally it suddenly transforms into an uncontrollable blazing temperature that destroys everything around it.

And what would best accompany ice but fire, in order to achieve an almost perfect equilibrium? What ice lacks, fire provides and what fire lacks, ice provides. When the flames become scorching, ice sooths the heat by adding a frigid breeze. When the arctic temperature becomes too cold, fire warms the freezing space.

In stubborn resoluteness, she decided that for the time being, her ultimate goal would be liquefying Sesshoumaru's cold exterior.

And what would best succeed in that but fire?


chapter four end.
