Let Us: Chapter 7

#11: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Drop It!

...xXx...

Although their date didn’t go as well as he had planned, he was not disappointed either because he found out that the possessiveness he felt towards his miko was not one-sided. When they arrived at the French restaurant he had reserved, many had looked at them with awe and envy. He had expected this and ignored them all, but unfortunately, they ran into Kagura, his ex-fiancée, who was with a new associate, no doubt arranged by her father Naraku Onigumo. The wind demoness had tried to touch him inappropriately when Kagome left for the ladies room, and much to his shock, and delight, Kagome, who witnessed such action when she returned, zapped the said hands that were on his person.

Needlessly to say, Kagura had made quite a scene by bashing, and that was how their supposedly romantic date ended. It seemed Kagura was still under the delusion that he wanted her. Over fifty years ago, their engagement was arranged for a ruse only, but Kagura had become attached with the notion and wished to pursue him for real. He, of course, rebuffed her, saying he was not interested in her, or in marriage for that matter. Even after the engagement was called off, she was still trying and only stopped when he reported such behaviours to Naraku, who valued their alliance more than his own daughter’s desire.

Now that he thought about it, not long after that, he met Kagome as his mother’s personal assistant for the first time. During that time, he had thought it was odd that his mother would hire a human, a miko no less, as her personal assistant. He, however, had to hide his surprise when his mother imparted the information that she was the Shikon Miko. At that time, not many knew this information, and his mother offered a secure life for Kagome in exchange for working with her. When Kagome’s ageless nature was exposed, true to his mother’s prediction, Kagome immediately caught the demon society’s eyes, but because of her status under the Western Lady’s protection, no one dared force her into a life Kagome did not want. For that, he was grateful towards his mother for taking her in. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known what a wonderful woman she was.
