Unspoken Love by Shastuhh

Unspoken Love

It had been a long day, nay, a long week. Sesshomaru sighed, he was tired of all the politics already this week had taken it all out of him. All he wanted to do was go back home to be with his beautiful mate and see their children again.

First though he wanted to do nothing but spend some long overdue quality time with his mate. Since they made the decision to have a child after 100 years of nothing but spoiling each other with their time, he missed when Kagome would travel the lands and attend these boring conferences to discuss treaties, borders, and other nonsense that he could care less about.

As soon as his last obligation he had to do finished he bid his farewells and left the northern kingdom without a moment to spare. It was already evening time and he wanted to make sure he got back home as soon as possible.

Arriving at the Western stronghold, Sesshomaru followed his nose to his mate all the while thinking of how much he had missed her. Between his lordly duties, and the children they didn't have much time to spend together anymore. His brother had his own children as well now, and he and his mate had moved well into the southerlands closer to his mates family, so it was a rare occasion that Inuyasha visited anymore.

Sesshomaru wasn’t fond of leaving his children with his brother to watch anyway even though they had put their differences and dislike aside decades ago, the thought of allowing his two year old twins in the care of anyone other than Kagome or his care awoken a vicious possessive and protective instinct in him.

As he got closer to the nursery, he could hear Kagome’s soft voice singing a lullaby that he had come to learn her mother had sung to her when she was little. It was not a song that was native to their homeland, but he could not deny the reassurances that it provided to the twins. Part of it also soothed him as well. It promised that their children would be protected all through the night and how they were watched over.

Arriving at the door just in time to lean against the entrance of the nursery, he listened to Kagome finish her song. Mizuki, already sleeping with soft snores, has her little white ears twitched on top of her head. Akihiko, their bright eyed little prince, was still putting up a valiant fight, but it was a losing battle as his mother’s soft carolling words embraced him and her hand twined in his short silver hair.

“ While the moon her watch is keeping

All through the night

While the weary world is sleeping

All through the night

O’er thy spirit gently stealing

Visions of delight revealing

Breathes a pure and holy feeling

All through the night” She finished her lullaby as his one bright golden and sapphire eyes finally closed and sleep took him.

Sesshomaru smiled at the sight before him, a feeling of deep love and admiration blooming in his chest. For a moment he and Kagome watched their two sleeping children before they met each other's gaze. He could see the contented happiness in her eyes.

The dark circles of sleepless nights still prominent on her face did nothing to take away from her beauty. She was just as lovely as the day he fell in love with her over a hundred years ago. Her age showed in small ways; the small laugh lines that were around her mouth, the start of crows feet in the corner of her eyes. They all served as a reminder of the passage of time, of some of the best memories of their life, and of the future memories to come.

With a small nod of his head, he reached a hand out to her, beckoning her to leave the kids to sleep. It was now their time, it was time for him to show her how much he had missed her, how much he loved her. He wanted to adorn her with all the love that he could not in the week that he was away. To remind her that even though he was away dealing with the woes of running their lands alone now that she was still on his mind. That she was what he thought about as the sunset and dawned in the sky.

As soon as her dainty hand was placed in his, he pulled her in for a tight embrace, nuzzling her hair and then peppering kisses from her forehead down to her jaw and stopping at the juncture where her shoulder met her neck. He inhaled the scent that was uniquely her. Ensuring that he immersed himself in her again. Bending slightly, he scooped her up bridal style, pulling her out of the nursery and sliding the door shut with his foot. Hearing her light giggle, he peppered her with more kisses and walked to the end of the hall that ended with a balcony. He took off, flying them to their destination.

There was a hot spring that was their own personal paradise that they would run to when they had moments like this where it was just the two of them and the kids asleep. It was where they had conceived their children, he was sure of it. They used to visit it everyday no matter what before, parenthood, sleepless nights, frustrated signs, and overall the feeling of helplessness as they each tried to soothe upset pups.

Before he had come back to the Shiro to find her, he’d made sure to stop by and set it up for a night of romance. He had placed a fur near the small overhang where they would make love the after gaze up at the stars in the sky. Tonight the moon would be full; its light would be bathing their hotspring perfectly. Growing up the side of the mountain that was the night flowers would bloom tonight, she had always loved to see them when the moon shone brightly on them as he massaged her shoulders.

Landing and placing her gently on her feet facing the mountainside that was now bathed in the glow of the full moon, he heard her awed gasp. This location had never failed to take her breath away with its beauty and watching her never failed to take his breath away. He pulled her back into his chest, kissing a line down her jaw. His hands roamed to the ties that bound her clothes, slowly unwrapping her exposing her to the night air to have her bathed in the light of the moon just as the flowers she admired.

She surrendered to him with no hesitation. With every tie that was released, he kissed the exposed skin. He was now bowing in front of her, stripping away the last article of clothing that covered her magnificent body. Kissing from her knee to the top of her foot, then repeating the action on the other leg. He whispered his love for her.

Ridding himself of his clothes, he walked hand in hand to the spring with her as they eased into the warm water. He went to the ledge to rest against as he started to rub the tension out of her muscles. It wasn’t long after he had eased the tension out of her muscles before she turned in his arms pushing up against him leaning in for a deep kiss.

With one kiss she successfully divested all of the woes from the last week that wore on his mind. Kagome’s petite hands returned the favor, taking the strain from him, reminding him that at the end of the day they had each other and their family, that they were all that mattered. The love they had was timeless and together they would prevail.

With new muscles straining now that had nothing at all to do with the stress of the week he had away from home, away from Kagome and the kids. He pulled her close, wrapping an arm around her as he scooted them up to the bank. The night was still young and one of his favorite things was seeing her on top of him with the moonlight washing over her.
