Sweet Tooth: Chapter 9

#14: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Green Tea
...xXx...
The ice cubes within the glass shifted as they melted. Though he favoured hot green tea, cooler one was much prefer at this hot summer. He withheld the urge to put his hands on his sensitive ears as his mother-in-law blended the drink. He inaudibly sighed when she finally turned the blender off. Too bad for him, she seemed to notice this action before smiling apologetically.
“How is she?”
“Kagome is doing fine.”
She hummed while pouring the drink out into a few plastic glasses and closed them with its lid. As soon as she was done, she took out a cooler to keep the drink cool. She had made a few glasses as she knew Kagome would want more than a glass later on. It was just how her daughter was with her cravings. Although it was not weird cravings, Kagome usually wanted more than usual amount. She had learnt this pattern from her three previous pregnancies.
A troubling thought crossed her mind. “It’s worrying.”
Sesshōmaru seemed to know that she was talking about the current human wars as he answered, “It is, but it will get better soon.”
“I’m glad to hear that.” And she truly did. Giving birth during wars was not good for the mother and the baby. As much as she tempted to ask Kagome to stay here until it was safe, she couldn’t. Kagome had chosen her path, and she would support her.
Soon, all were set and both left for the well house. After giving Sesshōmaru a hug, she told him, “Tell Kagome that I love her. We will look forward to meeting the new addition.”

  1. Love the story so far, but I'm a little confused: if the well opens up for Sesshomaru, does it open for Kagome as well? Also, do Kagome and Sesshomaru live in the Feudal Era or in present-day Japan? That's pretty much all I wanted to ask, but yes, it's great so far. Update soon! :)
