She hadn't known how many shades of gold there could be until she met him.

She supposed it was by necessity that she had begun to notice, and catalog the many shades, as they were the only true clue to the emotions he might be feeling behind that stoic façade.

Each time she saw a new shade, she deciphered it, taking in the other subtle clues and using instinct to tell her what he would or could not.

She had cataloged them all, bright like the noon-day sun for when he was amused at the antics of her and her toad companion. Honeyed and liquid for the times he'd looked upon her with nothing short of genuine affection. Sharp and piercing like the glint of a coin for when an enemy had pushed him too far and there was no saving the fool now.

BUT… this one was new, and sent her heart a flutter… It was almost like the licks of a flame, dancing and flickering with excitement, while at the same time being molten and darkened to an almost copper.

"Sesshomaru-sama?"

Kaede would return soon, but she couldn't stop herself as his magnetism drew her to him, and he opened his stance to allow her to draw close…

Gold… her child's eyes were gold. His hair may have been black, and he may have had her smile, but his ears were pointed and his eyes were gold.

She turned to her lord husband and smiled, while running a finger over a tiny pointed ear.

"He looks just like you."

Twin suns smiled back at her, and reached for his heir.
