#08: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Entree
Prompt: Entree
...xXx...
When dinner was almost over, he and his father heard the sound of running feet long before the shoji door slid open. A 7-summers-old boy in blue kimono appeared before the door. Noticing the guests, he quickly bowed in greetings before running towards Kagome.“Aneue!”
Sesshōmaru found himself floored as he saw the indifferent mask she put throughout their exchanges melt away. She had such a beautiful expression on her face. From the corner of his eyes, he could see that his sire witnessed the same thing and was surprised as well.
Kagome accepted her brother with open arms. The boy let out a happy sigh as he was encased in the protective arms of his sister. It was obvious that the young prince looked at his sister as a mother figure. To be honest, Sesshōmaru felt a twinge of jealousy towards the boy, but the display itself was enough to wake his beast up. It seemed the more he knew about her, the more he saw that she was a perfect mate for him.
The boy looked up. “I was worried that you wouldn’t come back today.”
A motherly smile was on her beautiful face as she replied, “I will always come back, Sōta. Never fear, little brother.”
He pouted. “I’m not little anymore.”
She hummed. “You sure act like one.”
Sesshōmaru almost closed his eyes to savour her soft laughter when Sōta huffed at his sister. A wave of sadness came from the boy made him study them again.
“I wish you will stay with me forever, Aneue.”
Kagome looked at her brother sadly. “Didn’t I promise to visit as much as I can?”
When Sōta refused to look at her, she cupped his young face and made him look at her. “Hey, we still have two seasons before I leave, so don’t think about it now. Okay?”
Finally, Sōta nodded before falling into his sister’s arms again. The soft humming from his sister successfully lulled the boy to sleep. Kagome looked up and quietly murmured, “If you will excuse me, Father.”
Lord Higurashi nodded, giving her the permission to leave.
Kagome turned to Sesshōmaru with a small smile. “It’s a pleasure to talk to you, Prince Sesshōmaru.”
“Likewise, Princess Kagome.”
With that, she left with the sleeping young prince in her arms.
As soon as they were out of sight, there was a long silence before his sire commented, “If you don’t mind telling me what actually happened here, Lord Higurashi?”
Lord Higurashi sighed dejectedly. “Kagome is going to marry Prince Hakudoshi of the South in two seasons’ time.”
impending marriage. Things are going to be soooo interesting :)
ReplyDeletePlease say that you are going to let Inutaishio give Lord Higurashi a way out for his daughter to wed Sesshomaru. That would be cool. Also if Prince Hakudoshi and his father came for a visit while Sesshomaru and his father are still there. Ooh that would sound like such good drama for everyone. You should have a chapter where Kagome and Souta are talking with each other alone and he gives her his opinion on who he thinks is worthy of her.
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait until the next chapter is up!
Keep it coming.
ReplyDeleteI've recently Started reading your work & I've taken a liking them I like it how you keep things innocent where needed n mature at same time. I don't like it when people rush things.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying this drabble series so far. I hope you'll take it slow & interesting. I just wish that you won't make it a mini series (may be 100 or atleast 50chapters...hehe..plz)
well all the best with next chapters. have a good day God bless you.
