Your Eyes Are Like Starlight Now by *~*Missy*~*

At least I'm gonna say that I tried

As he looked at her now with those eyes that threatened to swallow her whole he reminded Kagome very much a poinsettia, beautiful but extremely deadly. He had changed much from the Sesshomaru that she used to know, before she never would have considered the fact that she would be here with him, drinking wine by firelight and listening to the fireplace roar. This situation in itself was amazing. But as she spoke about the things she wished she could feel, as the tips of his claws brushing lightly against her fragile pinkened skin, she felt a little bit of electricity crackle along the edge of her skin and she nearly sighed in bliss. It seemed that Sesshomaru was awakening things within her that she didn't know was possible and had thought was entirely gone.

Well this is looking like it's going to turn out to be an interesting night, I don't know if the alcohol has just gone to my head, but I think I'll see this through as far as it goes. I just want to feel again...

She had gone contemplative he noticed, he felt the goosebumps that had arisen on her skin as he lightly trailed his claws over her, he could tell that her body was wanting to react, but she couldn't feel it entirely, it was like there was a block prohibiting her.

I will do everything in my power to get rid of this block, and hopefully the imbecile assassin in the process. She's entirely too good for him, she needs someone who can actually take care of her, not a self serving oaf. Sesshomaru thought to himself as he took her empty glass and set it aside.
