Sesshomaru looked up to his traveling companion as she slept, watching the moonlight bounce against raven locks. She was really very pretty, and only when she was asleep could he admire her feminine features. She had porcelain skin that was adorned with pretty, sun kissed freckles. He wasn't sure how someone with such fragile skin could even possess the tiny marks, but she managed them perfectly.
She had beautiful blue eyes that shimmered with happiness, and though they were currently closed, they were framed with long, thick black lashes. Water clung to them as she had been crying earlier, and he found himself entranced at them. It was like lying on the ground and watching dew form on blades of grass in the early morning.
Not only was she pretty… She was kind and gentle hearted, but had a fierce passion and a love for all creatures. She had saved him without a second thought, and even took his side against her mother - her own kin.
He sighed softly, shifting his gaze to the moon hovering in the sky above him. His thoughts shifted towards his own family. What were they doing right now? Did they miss him? What would they think of him right now? He was relying solely on the abilities of a human priestess, an idea his father would detest and his mother would find absurd. He was the heir to the Western Lands, and here he was… snuggled into the chest of a human woman.
He wondered if he would ever be the same person after this experience.
He knew he wouldn't be able to just shake this girl away from him, especially after everything that had happened to her. He could sense his father's scouts coming closer each day.
Soon, they would be found.
