#09: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Dread
Prompt: Dread
...xXx...
Instead of going to a fancy restaurant for a romantic dinner for two, he planned for a family picnic at the Centre Park on a Sunday afternoon. Ever since he found out about their son, he had been having dreams about how they would go out as a family. It didn’t matter that he and Kagome were not together. He would remedy that situation if he played his card right. He knew that he had to prove himself, just like when they were courting, but this time, he intended to keep proving himself so that Kagome would find no reason to leave him anymore.
Kagome studied her ex-husband with contemplating eyes. Honestly speaking, he had changed a lot. Before, they wouldn’t able to do something like this, not even after they adopted Rin. She was a bit speechless when he planned for this family outing. But then, she shouldn’t be so surprised. The year they had been apart, he must have learned a thing or two about life, just like she was.
“Okaa-san?”
Still holding Aki, who was napping, Kagome smiled at Rin. “Yes, sweetie?”
Rin played with the hem of her yellow dress nervously. “When will Okaa-san... come home...?”
Kagome swallowed uncomfortably. She honestly couldn’t answer Rin without lying. Right now, she was not ready to move back in. However, she couldn’t deny that Rin needed her. Unsure how to answer, she turned back to Sesshōmaru, who was obviously listening to their conversation, and she had to hold back a gasp. The hope and fear was clear in his golden eyes. It would be stupid of her to not be able to guess what that meant. He was hoping the same thing as Rin, but he also feared that she would refuse.
A sudden tug on her hair made her look down at Aki, who was wide awake. Unlike his father, Aki had expressive golden eyes. Looking into her son’s happy face, she smiled to herself. It was obvious what she should do now. She had known the answer all along when Sesshōmaru called her on that faithful night, but she refused to admit it. One way or another, she would return to her rightful place.
More, keep it coming.
