#08: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Fruit & Cheese
Prompt: Fruit & Cheese
...xXx...
Sesshōmaru was more than furious to learn that Lord Naraku dared to threaten Lord Higurashi if he didn’t comply with his term to give Kagome away. Apparently, Hakudoshi desired Kagome but, of course, the feeling was not reciprocated, and at such, Lord Naraku was not pleased to know his son was being refused by a mere human princess.Lord Higurashi was never going to use his beloved daughter for politics, so at first, he refused Lord Naraku’s demand as well. However, the damage done to the human villages in his land for his refusal was immense, and Kagome took it upon herself to take responsibility for them. And this was the very reason why Lord Higurashi invited them. He wished to see if his sire would be willing to find a solution to save his daughter.
Of course, his sire eagerly agreed to help. Lord Naraku had no right to do as he wished with the people of the West, human or not.
Following her beautiful scent, he found Kagome in the garden, minus a few layers of her earlier kimono.
“Princess Kagome.”
She jumped in surprise before turning to him with wide eyes. “I’m sorry, Prince Sesshōmaru. I didn’t realise—”
“It’s okay.” He shook his head before standing beside her. After a moment of silence, he began, “This one wishes to ask you a question.”
“I’m listening, Prince Sesshōmaru.”
“Sesshōmaru.”
She blinked. “Eh?”
“Just call me Sesshōmaru, Kagome,” he said, looking into her eyes.
Her face flushed deep red at the familiarity. Still, she nodded. “As you wish... Sesshōmaru.”
Sesshōmaru withheld the urge to hold her tightly in his arms as he nodded. “Will you have any objection if this one wishes to court you?”
Her eyes widened. “Say what?”
He chuckled at how expressive she was now. Honestly, he liked it better when she was like this. Slowly, he reached out and caressed her face with the back of his palm. “This Sesshōmaru wishes to court you, Kagome.”
After a few moments, she stepped back and looked away from him. Her voice was low and sad. “I... I can’t...”
Knowing the reason she rejected him, he stepped closer and cupped her face. “Don’t think about anyone, Kagome. This Sesshōmaru wants your honest answer. Will you let this one court you?”
She looked into his eyes that conveyed more than his words as she breathlessly answered, “Yes.”
As soon as he heard her answer, he leaned down and stole a deep kiss from her.
Can't wait to see how they'll handle things with hakudoshi and naraku.
