Identity: Chapter 6

#08: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Dessert

...xXx...

Sesshōmaru let out a content sigh as he and Kagome rested under the shade of oak tree. He watched Kagome absent-mindedly caress her swollen belly. When he saw her hand stop moving with a smile, he scooted closer and let her take his hand to feel their first pup’s kick under his palm. They smiled at each other. His heir, much to the court’s disbelief and relief, was a full-blooded demon. It was unexplainable how it could be so, but it didn’t matter to him. As long as Kagome was the one who birthed his pups, he would love them all.
The day she accepted his courting proposal, his life changed for the better. As expected, Lord Naraku refused to back down as his son had prior claim on Kagome. Still, all was solved with a formal challenge for the right to mate her. She had been afraid for him, of course, but he had assured her that he would be fine. And he was. Hakudoshi was not a particularly strong opponent, but he had tricks that assisted him. Not for long enough, though. In the end, he won the fight, and thankfully, Naraku left without protests, unlike his son who was a sore loser.

After making sure everything was well, he and his father left Kagome with her father to make preparations. The courting process went rather slowly, but that was the intention, as Kagome wished for them to know one another before taking the step where there was no turning back. For a year, they courted before she was ready to bind herself to him and vice versa.

Surprisingly, his mother InuKimi accepted Kagome with open arms. He would have thought that Kagome, as a human, princess or not, would not be well-liked. And to his surprise, Inuyasha, his younger brother by two decades, who usually hated females, even approved his choice of mate. Turned out, only the ladies within the court didn’t like her, for she was able to attract his attention without doing anything. Nevertheless, she seemed to ignore them all, just like he had suggested her to do.

“I love you,” she said with a beautiful smile on her face.

“And I you, mate.” He gazed at her closely. Truly, he was lucky to have her as his life partner. Though they were mated, he never demanded her to act like a meek and obedient mate. He had told her that her independence was the first thing that caught his attention. They both had agreed that disagreements would be done behind closed doors, and before the public, she would respect and submit to him. So far, everything was good and would continue to be so.

He had gotten himself a beautiful and perfect mate with an heir on the way. For him, all was well in the world.

The End

Thanks for reading.
