#08: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Intermezzos
Prompt: Intermezzos
...xXx...
To say he was shocked that the beautiful warrior was none other than Lord Higurashi’s daughter would be an understatement of the century. For a moment, he felt like a fool as he only just realised that she and Lord Higurashi shared the same blue eyes. Nevertheless, if his sire wanted to offer a mating treaty with her as the princess, he honestly wouldn’t mind. He, generally, didn’t like humans, but it seemed he had to make an exception for Lord Higurashi’s family. A princess who was as well as a warrior was quite unheard of. If he let this unique woman slip away, he would be a fool. He had no doubt that many had realised what a precious gem she was.While his sire and her father talked, he tried to find something to talk to her. It was weird to say the least, as usually, it was the other way around. Though she didn’t hold the air of arrogance, she seemed uninterested. She would prove to be quite a challenge for him, and he liked that.
“If this Sesshōmaru may ask, Princess Kagome?” Once she looked up at him, he continued, “How long have you been under your sire’s command?”
She put her chopsticks down and hummed. “It’s been five years, Prince Sesshōmaru.”
He nodded thoughtfully. “No offence, but this one would have thought that you are more like an archer than a sword handler.”
When she smiled, he suddenly wondered how her lips would feel against his. He shook his head mentally. If he didn’t know any better, he would think she had put some sort of spell on him.
“Many told me that as well, so don’t worry about it, Prince Sesshōmaru,” she replied before explaining that she was an archer as well, but she preferred the sword as her main weapon. They then discussed about the problem she usually came across within their land.
He was more than impressed with her knowledge. However, the more they talked, the more he realised the distant she put between them. It seemed she didn’t want him to get any closer with her. Why? He made a few guesses, and the one that rang loudly in his mind was she was betrothed to another. If that was the case, he would not allow it. A hard determination entered his eyes as he promised himself that she would be his and no one else’s.
While Kagome had her dessert, he looked at his sire, who glanced at him at the same time. He looked at Kagome and back to his sire. It seemed his sire got the silent message and nodded. He belatedly ignored the grin on his sire’s face as he silently admitted that he was interested in Kagome.
Hmm...I find it odd how most overlook that bows and arrows are a brawny weapon; you need serious muscles for the repetitious movement that is pushing some tens of pounds each time. Have to admit, Sessh going for quality moreover than pedigree makes good sense -that, and the fact that the idea of impeccable lineage only gives the offspring Potential, not Assurance of success. Still thankful for the updates : )
