My Soul to Steal by Ai Roku

Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha!

Prompt: Lighting Bonfires

--------------------------

The familiarity of that voice brought her head up, while inside she was desperately afraid she was hallucinating again.

‘It can’t be him,’ the doubtful part of her mind asserted, and indeed it wasn’t.

The man standing in front of her was tall with long shiny black hair pulled back at his neck. He had a slender build which belied the muscles she could feel pressed up against her now even through his expensive tailored designer suit.

He was almost pretty with delicately chiseled features and stormy grey eyes that currently held a spark of amusement in their depths complimenting the smirk playing with his full lips.

Oh yes she was finally losing her mind, this stranger bore no resemblance to the proud demon she had known in the past.

Sesshomaru would never have let something as lowly as amusement mar his aristocratic features….But wait hadn’t he called her miko?

Maybe the similarity of the voices could be discounted, but no one but her family knew about her powers in this era, “Se-Sesshomaru-sama?”

“Indeed,” for just a moment his eyes shift seeming to burn with more light than a thousand bonfires; the foreign smokey grey changing to a familiar burnt ocher.

Come miko there is much we must discuss.”

Turning on his heel he walks toward a sleek black limo parked on the curb that she had somehow missed while she had been preoccupied trying to avoid a massive panic attack.

Clearly she was expected to follow, and she genuinely wanted to but she had responsibilities.

“I can’t go with you right now; I have to go to work.”

Arching a brow the daiyoukai in disguise says simply, “Call in sick.”
