Very few things had taken Chichiri by surprise in his last few years of wandering. Perhaps he should've anticipated that seeing Tasuki again would throw a few turns his way, as life with the fiery-haired bandit had always proven to be lively at the least. But he would never have anticipated anything like this...
The years had been good to Tasuki. His hair, still fiery as ever, was much longer now, drawn into a ponytail at the base of his neck and giving it some semblance of order. The remnants of his lean boyhood physique had filled out into that of a man's, his voice deepened just slightly, though that impish fanged-filled grin still remained.
But then Chichiri had looked up into Tasuki's eyes... and had his breath abruptly taken away from him.
Were these really Tasuki's eyes? These piercing burning orbs that looked like they were made of fire itself... framed by lids that turned upwards at their outer ends with an almost feline quality, both dangerous and alluring at the same time... it was like he had never seen them before. How could he have never noticed such beauty? He felt like he could be both consumed and warmed by those fiery orbs at the same time, drawn helplessly into the fire but so needing its warmth, and he could not for the life of him stop staring.
He never wanted to look away from those eyes, ever again.
