THE NEXUS OF SATISFACTION
chapter ten
strangers.



She had been away for three days.

That was the longest period in her days of absence, actually. Nothing kept her away from personal obsessions.

And it disturbed Sesshoumaru to no end when he felt a strange feeling, a sense of loss.

Why? She was a stranger to him. He couldn't possibly miss her. He had no reason to miss a stranger.

He knew one day she'd leave. She did not belong. Her mannerisms, her clothing, and her very self was too strange. One day she'd leave and he wouldn't stop her.

On that day, once again, they'll become strangers.


chapter ten end.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Wow, a drabble at its essence. First time I did this, I think. Point of the last line? Somewhere in the middle, although unsaid, he considered her a friend. First step to love, don't you think?

Reviews are welcome, as always. : )
