Prompt: Partners in Crime
Prompt: Partners in Crime
...xXx...
Sesshōmaru stared at the ceiling of his penthouse for a while before getting up from the bed gently, not wanting to disturb his sleeping partner. He sat on the bed with his back turned to Kagome. Honesty, the events hours ago were blurred, but he did recall the urge to kiss her. Both were obviously drunk, but she seemed to be lucid enough to give him permission to have his way with her. He vaguely recalled how he hesitated for a while when he remembered that she was untouched. An audible sigh escaped his lips. He was pretty sure that he had lost his mind when he invited her for a drink so that they both could talk about her case. Oh well, what happened, happened, so there was no reason to mourn about it. Besides, he didn’t regret it. Though, he would prefer that he took her first time when both were sober.“Lord Sesshōmaru of the Western Land.”
He froze. It had been centuries since anyone called him with that title. He obviously didn’t tell Kagome about his past, so how? Slowly, he turned around, and what he saw made his breath hitch slightly. Sitting before him was the bare-chested Kagome, but he knew that she was not herself, for her clear blue eyes were glowing.
“Tell us, Lord Sesshōmaru, what is your intention towards our guardian?”
This time, he finally noticed that it was more than one person that spoke. He exhaled slowly. “Guardian?”
“We are the Shikon.”
That word was enough for him to put the two and two together. Naraku wanted the Shikon no Tama, but as the chosen guardian, Kagome refused to surrender it and chose to run. Now, his suspicion had confirmed that Naraku was up to something. Of course, he had heard and known stories of the Shikon no Tama that was created centuries ago from the warrior miko Midoriko, and the chaos the jewel would bring should it land in the wrong hands.
Looking at Shikon, he nodded. “This Sesshōmaru understands the problem at hand now.”
“Will you protect her as well, Lord Sesshōmaru?”
“I will,” he replied without hesitation. As soon as the words slipped past his lips, he realised how true the promise was. He would protect her.
