Let Us: Chapter 1

#11: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Sit, Boy!

...xXx...

"InuKimi-sama, Sesshōmaru-sama is here."

Casting a kind smile at her personal assistant, she replied, "Thank you, Kagome."

Kagome returned her smile before leaving her office. No longer than a minute, her eldest son entered her office with his usual emotionless mask.

She walked towards the expensive, cream-coloured sofas and gestured. "Take a seat, pup."

His golden eyes flashed with ire, but she ignored it. "You do know why you were called here, right?"

Sitting down stiffly, Sesshōmaru refrained himself from scowling at his mother. He, of course, knew why he was here. For many years, he had been avoiding her for a good reason. He thoroughly blamed his sire for starting this notion of being grandparents. Now, his mother was determined to get him mated as soon as possible. No matter what they did, he would not change his mind about the matter. He had no desire to have a mate, for the one he wanted wouldn't even spare him a second glance. Until then, his parents would have to wait.

A knock momentarily halted their discussion, and as expected, it was Kagome with a tray of refreshment. Both he and his mother watched her serve the rose tea quickly but efficiently. With a nod of thanks from his mother, the ageless human left them alone.

Sesshōmaru withheld the urge to follow Kagome out of the room with his eyes. It would be best to remain still as his mother would notice even a subtle change in his attitude. It was sad, but true, that he desired Kagome for half a century now. Aside from her ageless state, he wanted her for her unique and rare personality. Her being human didn't deter him from wanting her. Even his mother, a perfectionist liked he was, adored Kagome for her loyalty and bravery. However, he didn’t know if his mother would be thrilled if he wished to pursue her.

InuKimi had to hold herself back from smiling. Her son didn’t know that he was too easy to read. She might not be an affectionate mother, but she knew her eldest pretty well, including his adoration towards her favourite assistant. What she was going to do would surely upset him, but in the end, it would be worth it.
