Chapter 5: Unanswered Thoughts

A large impassive figure stood on the veranda. Looking out in the garden, where a teenage human being sat on the white stone bench underneath the cherry tree.

In her lap sat two children- A little ningen girl, wearing a checkered white and orange kimono. And a little kitsune, with bright green eyes and a cheerful attitude. Both were sucking on what the miko called "lollipops".

Sharp ears upon the form listened as the miko read a story to the children ~

"Once upon a time, in a far away kingdom, there lived a beautiful princess named Snow White. She had hair black as ebony, skin as white as snow, and lips as red as roses. Now, that princess had an evil stepmother, who had a magic mirror. Every morning, in vain, she would ask: Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of us all?

The Taiyoukai lord of the West remained listening, finally noticing the alluring scent of jasmine and roses wherever Kagome went.

'Funny.. that I never noticed it before.'

Sesshoumaru continued standing there on the terrace until unexpectedly, Kagome looked up in his direction.

Sesshoumaru tensed. But Kagome, noticing the youkai's gaze, flashed a smile.

Embarrassed, the lord turned away, and started walking downstairs.

'Tch.. Peculiar.. that I didn't notice those things before...'

Sesshoumaru recalled the raven black hair, the peach colored skin, and those eyes. Not necessarily brown, but tawny. Tawny- the beautiful colors of gold hue and a rich light brown. Her eyes. Similar to the colors of topaz.

'Why am I even thinking about her?!'

Sesshoumaru shook his head and walked on, running his hand through his silver mane of hair.

*

Kagome breathed in the sweet aroma of flora. Such peaceful surroundings! In her arms, Rin and Shippo lay sleeping. A yellow canary flittered down from a branch, and landed on Kagome's outstretched hand.

"Hello.." Kagome said quietly. "Would you find Inuyasha for me?"

The bird warbled in high melodious tones. It cocked its little yellow head to the side and chirped.

Kagome smiled and sent him off. Watching him flitting off in the canvas of the baby blue sky.

'Find him... and tell him to come back.. for me.'

Kagome sighed and looked toward the veranda that she had saw Sesshoumaru- sama upon.

'Did I really see him looking at me?' Kagome thought. 'That's silly. Why would he? You've heard him say he despised humans, thought them disgusting.. But then again..'

Kagome looked down at Rin. 'He protects Rin with his life...'

Tawny eyes watched as the sky was suddenly painted with light orange hue, and fringes of a delicate pink. Dashed off with darkening blue, and early stars tainted the canvas. A canvas of change.

'Inuyasha.. Are you looking up at the same sky, and thinking about me? As I you?'
