Prompt: Keck

This drabble was written for Smittee’s Alphabet challenge.

Standard disclaimer applies. I do not own Inuyasha.

Prompt: Keck – to retch, to feel disgust.

“What ails your thought?”

Kagome looked up, aurulent eyes settled on her form making her uncomfortable with the demon Lord’s close proximity, the youkai choosing to sit on what she considered as her side of the fire. Unsure what aroused his curiosity enough for him to invade her space; she shrugged her shoulders, forcing a reluctant smile onto her plump lips.

“I am just..  I just don’t understand what you are doing here.”

Amber eyes narrowing, the demon cupped her chin, forcing her head up, watching the fire flicker in the cerulean pools.

“Explain.”

“You are the heir, the next Lord of the West and yet you risk your life here. I do not understand it.”

Examining her face closely for a brief moment, he let go, elegant fingers brushing her skin as they unclasped.

“Woman, you underestimate me. Do you really think that this Sesshomaru’s strength is not enough to secure his life?”

Remembering the sights in her palace that were enough to make the most experienced of warriors keck in horror, she had to admit to herself that perhaps his assurance in his ability stemmed from more than arrogance.

 “Is this Sesshomaru right to assume that you care for the... West?”

Kagome spluttered in righteous indignation, feeling heat snake its way up to her cheeks, tinting them red.

“I do not care. I was just curious.”

With a huff, she stood, pretending not to notice the mirth in the eyes of the vigilant monk who was watching the exchange intently with a smile on his handsome face. 

I'm done with my exams so will try to update regularly.
