The Best Gift: Chapter 9

#06: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: A Sprinkling of Stars
...xXx...
It was too cloudy to see the stars tonight, but she was content enough to see her surroundings as she sat on the bench. There were still people milling around for last minute Christmas shopping. She was waiting for her beloved intended and his niece Rin, Inuyasha and Kikyō’s first born, at the Centre Park. As fate would have it, she met Hōjō and his girlfriend Ayumi, who was their high school friend. Ayumi had left them alone to talk. It seemed Hōjō did tell her about their history.
Hōjō was more than surprised to see his ex sitting outside and not to mention her very much healed eyesight.
Pulling her coat closer, she began, “How have you been, Hōjō?”
“I’ve been fine.” There was an awkward pause before he continued, “I’m sorry. You know...”
Turning to him, she let out a kind smile. “Didn’t I tell you to stop apologising?”
Hōjō couldn’t resist the urge to caress her beautiful face. Her eyes were still so bright with happiness. He missed this, missed her so much. It was hard for him to leave her, but he felt so guilty that he couldn’t bear to look at her, but now... He moved closer, but before he could touch her, someone pulled her away. For a split of second, he had wanted to snap at whoever that disturbed them, but he momentarily lost his voice when he saw who had grabbed Kagome. It was the famous Sesshōmaru Takahashi. His presence alone was enough to make him step away. From the corner of his eyes, he could see how people looked at the couple that seemed to be a match made from heaven. He himself couldn’t deny how perfect they look for each other.
“Did you wait for long?” Sesshōmaru murmured after placing a soft kiss on her right temple.
Kagome beamed at him. “Not really.” She looked around in confusion. “Rin?”
Sesshōmaru shrugged slightly. “She wishes to spend her time with Father, but she made me promise that I’ll bring you home.”
Kagome chuckled. “Surely, you’re not going to force me to come with you, Mister?”
“Who knows?” he replied with a mysterious glint in his golden eyes.
“Kagome?”
The couple turned to Hōjō, who shifted uncomfortably before them. Kagome gasped. “Oh, I’m sorry!” She turned to Sesshōmaru and gestured to Hōjō. “Sesshōmaru, this is my friend Hōjō.” She looked at Hōjō and smiled. “Hōjō, this is my fiancé, Sesshōmaru.”

  1. I bet he felt a bit awkward... but also cute on Sesshomaru's part.
    Makes you wonder if hes gonna want to go back with her, since her eyes are better.
    Thanks for the chapter.
