#12: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Yellow
Prompt: Yellow
...xXx...
For one reason or another, she had to tell Sesshōmaru about her feelings. It was true that she had admired him from afar ever since she attended this academy almost a decade ago, and it was rather obvious why. He was admired and adored by many, especially the female population. To think he would desire someone like her was unthinkable. Even in her wildest dream, she had never thought something like this would happen to her. After days of contemplating, she had decided to reply his roses with her own. It was unusual, but she didn’t think there was anything wrong with a guy receiving flowers from their own admirer.
Her days were a bit better than last week. Kikyō had finally gotten tired of her silence after two weeks of bullying. What a brat. She almost wished that she could say that to her face, but then, if she did, Kikyō would never leave her alone. Though, the worse that could happen to Kikyō, if she continued what she was doing, was receiving another warning for bullying another student. Unbelievable as it was, their academy was against bullying that went over the top. Well, considering that all races attended this academy, it was normal to have such rules. For now, she was glad for the reprieve and would enjoy the peace as long as she could. She didn’t know when Kikyō would strike again.
Unfortunately, it was too early to be happy.
Not long after she brought a bouquet of yellow roses at the flower shop near their academy, Kikyō saw her. She and her best friend Tsubaki, intercepted her before she could enter the dormitory office building. It was her intention to ask Kaede-sensei’s permission to enter the boy dormitories first so that she could deliver the roses to Sesshōmaru before school hours.
Kikyō smirked. “Good morning, my dear cousin.”
Stiffening her spine, she really hoped Kikyō wouldn’t try and take her precious roses. Though she could buy another should Kikyō feel like destroying or taking them, she didn’t want to make a double trip to the flower shop. Besides, she really wanted to get these roses to Sesshōmaru today.
Kikyō hummed. “I really wish to know who you are going to give those roses to.”
When Kikyō was about to touch her precious bundle, they heard Kaede’s voice. “Kagome.”
Kagome silently released the breath she was holding. She was truly grateful that Kaede had come to her rescue today. Looking at the middle-aged woman, she smiled. “Good morning, Kaede-sensei.”
Kaede nodded. “Morning, Kagome.” Glancing at the roses in her hands, she said, “I see you have brought the roses I ask you to get me.”
What a perfect excuse! Thank you, Kaede-sensei! She thanked the older woman mentally before side-stepping Kikyō, who was evidently annoyed that she didn’t get to bully her. “Yes, I hope I’m not too late?”
Kaede shook her head. “No, you’re not, Child. Come, let us go to my office, there’s something I wish to discuss with you.”
As soon as they entered the dormitory office building, Kagome smiled at Kaede. “Really, thank you for the rescue, Kaede-sensei.”
Kaede shook her head. “Nah. I’m only doing a favour for someone.”
“Eh?” Kagome blinked. “Do I need to know for whom?”
A secretive smile was on Kaede’s face. “I wonder.”
Curious but unable to find out more, Kagome shrugged. “Kaede-sensei, I wish to ask your permission to—”
“Go on ahead.” Kaede shooed her away and winked before leaving her at the hallway. “I can trust you not to break the school rules.”
Kagome flushed scarlet. She couldn’t believe that Kaede-sensei would suggest such a thing. But then, it was not uncommon how girls often tried to sneak into the boys’ dormitories and vice versa for one reason or another. Sighing mentally, she made her way to Sesshōmaru’s room.

Loving it, keep it coming.
