#09: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Dense
Prompt: Dense
...xXx...
It was difficult for Kagome to see Rin cry as she said goodbye to her, but really, she didn’t have a choice in the matter. Though her baby girl was adopted by both her and Sesshōmaru, Rin was her father’s daughter. She was not one to take orders from anyone, not even the court, but she was a reasonable woman. Right at this moment, her mind was filled with uncertainty. The future was unknown.
She had thought that she would be able to move on without her ex-husband, but now, the feelings she still held for him resurfaced. Their failed marriage, however, broke not only her heart, but her trust as well. Because of it, she was reluctant to bare her heart once more. She didn’t hate men in general, but it was not easy for her to open herself up again. Besides, Akihiko was her main concern now. Though she wouldn’t keep her son from his father, she doubted everything would remain the same for long.
From Sesshōmaru’s apology last night, she knew that he had changed for the better. Even when they were still dating, she had never heard a word of ‘sorry’ from his mouth. Sesshōmaru was a man of action, but he seemed to know that she needed not only action, but words as well. Still, she was not ready to play house with him. It would be safe to play dense as she would like to test his sincerity before agreeing into anything. She refused to make the same mistake twice. She loved Rin with all her heart, but she would not let herself be bullied by anyone, especially her domineering ex-husband. Once was more than enough.
As they reached her apartment, he walked her back to her unit with Akihiko sleeping peacefully in her arms, unaware of the tension between his parents.
Sesshōmaru knew that now was not the time to ask for a second chance, so he stepped closer and caressed his son’s silver tuft before looking at Kagome. “Please give me a call when you wish to visit Rin.”
“I can—”
“I wish to take you home myself, Kagome.”
Luckily for him, Kagome didn’t correct his using home, which meant he still had a chance to woo her back.
Keep it coming.
