It was a little disconcerting, how good Sesshoumaru's eyesight was.

He really fit the term "eagle-eyed", what with the fact that his eyes were golden and that he could see her trip over the kerb thirteen streets away from her apartment.

She had been trying to read and walk at the same time- not the brightest of ideas- and had tripped over the edge of the pavement as a result, sprawling into the road. The contents of her bag and her book had gone flying, straight into the path of an oncoming vehicle. The young woman had reached forward to grab them as they were crushed underneath the truck, only to have her arm snatched back by a clawed hand.    

Sesshoumaru had hauled her shivering body onto his shoulder as he gathered her belongings with his other hand, before spiriting them back to her apartment. 

Kagome clutched to the demon's neck tightly, refusing to let go even after he had settled them onto their bed. 

"What were you thinking? If not for this Sesshoumaru's actions, you would be missing a limb."

Hiccuping, Kagome kissed his cheek before mumbling,

"It was at the best part- he had just proposed and she had said yes."

Kagome smiled tentatively as the inuyoukai rolled his eyes. Thank the Kami that he had such good vision.
