#08: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Bisque
Prompt: Bisque
...xXx...
InuTaisho glanced at his son’s emotionless face. He had to hide a smile whenever he recalled how his eldest looked at the miko. He, too, had to admit that the miko was a beauty. If he was not mated, he would have tried to woo the miko himself. Looking at his son, he couldn’t help but think about the prospect of having grandpups. He would look forward to that day. Yet, they would have to know about the mysterious miko first even though he had a good guess of who she was. During their meeting earlier, they, unfortunately, couldn’t talk about anything but the unresolved treaties, so he couldn’t confirm his thought.As he and his son reached the dining hall, Lord Higurashi smiled. “I hope your short rest is fulfilling, Lord Takahashi.”
InuTaisho nodded. “Indeed.”
Lord Higurashi glanced towards the shoji door for a while before turning to Lord Takahashi. “I would like to introduce you to someone before we begin our dinner.”
Dread filled Sesshōmaru as he could make a guess that that someone was Lord Higurashi’s daughter. Soon, the shoji door slid open, and once again, his breath hitched, longer this time. If he thought her beautiful before, she was even more beautiful in her multi-layered kimono. Now, he could smell her unique scent without the sweat, dirt and grime that clung to her earlier.
“Well...” InuTaisho breathed out. “I have to say that this is truly a surprise, Lord Higurashi.”
“I shall take that as a compliment, Lord Takahashi.”
They all watched the beautiful woman approach them with a grace that would be envied by any demoness. InuTaisho sneaked a glance at his son and had to refrain himself from grinning. Yes, grandpups would not be long, it seemed.
“I’m sure you have met this young woman earlier in my study,” Lord Higurashi began as soon as the woman reached his side. “Lord Takahashi, Prince Sesshōmaru, this is my daughter, Princess Kagome.”
Kagome bowed in greeting. “Pleasure to meet you, Lord Takahashi, Prince Sesshōmaru.”
What a rarity in royalty. InuTaisho smiled. Before he could reply her greeting, Sesshōmaru spoke, “The pleasure is ours, Princess Kagome.”
Truly, InuTaisho couldn’t wait to tell InuKimi about this! Their aloof son finally found the one he deemed worthy to talk to. He turned to Lord Higurashi and blinked in surprise when he caught the sad look he sent to his daughter. What was wrong? Was his daughter not available for courting? His eldest son had finally shown interest in a woman, so he would make sure it would continue so. Besides, he wouldn’t mind having Kagome as his daughter-in-law.
Second step: she does not change any of her character aspect (is almost indifferent) when he enters the room -these guys are so high maintenance!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why her father grieves, but it appears that her child (adopted or otherwise?) might appear sooner or later. Thanks for posting.
Looking forward to reading more :) can't wait to see how this story develops!
