Le Fleur de la Vie. by Natalia

Fearless

Hello!

Sesshoumaru is so hard to keep in character! I hope I did a good job, please tell me your opinion. Also, are the chapters well connected? Is the continuation understandable? They are supposed to be interconnected, I hope I am succeeding. Do they pick up from where I left? I am trying my best!

A big thank you for your reviews, dear readers. I treasure every word and am touched! Thanks for reading, now enjoy!

I combined both prompts!

Fearless 100 words.

Charmed 150 words.

Together 250 words.

“Being human is not a vice,” he said in a serious voice. “Being ignorant, selfish, honourless and cowardly, it is. You miko are none.”

“I’m not as fearless as you paint me,” she interjected hurriedly and he scoffed:

“That coming from the human who stood pointing an arrow at a fully transformed youkai predator? Not counting how many monstrosities Naraku sent your way.”

When she gaped at him, he arched an eyebrow and added in a serious voice:

“You miko do not give yourself enough credit.”

“You’re... you’re serious?!” she asked with doubt still coating her words.

“Miko, This Sesshoumaru never speaks untruths. This one can withhold information, twist the words or let others misinterpret, but never lie,” he assured her, for a first time willingly giving information about himself.

“But I’m human!” she exclaimed, then shook her head in denial.

“The first time I came to Edo I cried, I have nightmares of spiders and and...” she continued and Sesshoumaru again was amazed at her humbleness.

“You are your own person, no one is perfect,” he assured her and she choked a sob at his words. He hurriedly grabbed her chin seeing her ready to go into hysterics.

“My own person... this is the best compliment I have ever received!” she smiled wiping her tears and thanking him between sobs.

“Inuyasha charmed me, being himself, but he never... he can’t say nice things, give compliments. He simply doesn’t know how. He’s nice deep inside, but rough on the edges.”
