Prompt 130: Domestic
*~*~*~*
-Well-
The Tachi had all climbed up the well and stood at the edge. Relieved faces, annoyed, wary and a face which was ‘irked’ (and wanted a one-on-one with Sesshomaru right now! Hell they were in the ‘past’ now anyway). Huh? Kagome turned her head to hear/see running footsteps and a voice calling her name.
“Kagome! Kagome-chaaan!!!” Ayame called excited as layers of her heavy silk dress followed.
They saw people running towards them from the tree-lines. Kouga and Ayame, and what---it seemed like dozens of soldiers from the western lands? Their uniform were the same colors. Had they been waiting for Sesshomaru all this time?! Talk about dedication? Most likely they’d give him a summary of what was happening in the western palace.
“Kagome! Kagome!” Ayame said looking way overjoyed about to hug Kagome ‘silly’ like she’d been missing for years. She smiled and returned her hug. Kouga walked up behind Ayame and nodded with a smile towards Kagome and everyone else.
“Sesshomaru-sama.” A few soldiers came up to respectfully acknowledge him. Then they looked with enquiring (curious, questioning) faces at the lady (Kagome) standing next to him. Had he gotten a mate while he was away?
“Hnn...lady Kagome. This Sesshomaru’s intended mate.” Was all he said in his usual regal and cool tone of voice.
After a moment of shock or rather surprise they acknowledged her with respect, a head bow. It was about time (they all knew) that Sesshomaru-sama choose a mate. They had really needed a lady of the western lands. Although not their place to say anything many in the army and palace did not want any old Minister’s daughter or some court lady on the throne. They would hate to serve her as their lady.
“For the thousandth time she isn’t your intended anything! I swear Sesshomaru…how in hells name do you f*** piss me off with just three or four words? It’s almost amazing.” Inuyasha yelled to all of Japan/Segoku Jidai and wondered again---complaining loudly----why he hadn’t been ‘blessed’ with a cute little sister. Had he angered the heavens?
'.............'
“Okay buddy you and me right now!” Inuyasha said getting all ‘pumped up’ and excited about really nothing special.
“And here I thought you were or had become a domesticated puppy while in the futu….err…where I live? Still you’re like a rabid wild dog.” Kagome said fixing her sentence. No need to tell people or give them extra information….
Better to tell them they’d gotten lost in the well and ended up in some other twilight dimension/zone…..
“Don’t hide behind Sesshomaru like that! Kagome you know you belong to me!” Inuyasha said.
Some of the soldiers bristled with anger at the insult directed at lady Kagome. Some were itching to pull their swords out. “With all due respect Inuyasha. I do not want to detain and chain you till we reach the palace.” One said.
He was STILL Sesshomaru’s brother and a royal prince. It wouldn’t look good if he came walking into the palace in chains, kicking and yelling about the injustice.
“Careful dear. You are expecting. Don’t look upset. This Sesshomaru will not lock him up in chains.” Sesshomaru said. Kagome stared at him. With a baffled ‘Again with that baby?’ look. Where the HELL were they going to get a baby from?
Good question…..
‘………..’
“The hell she’s pregnant with your little bastard! What lady of the damn western lands you talking about? She’s my intended mate. You cannot ‘nab’ someone else’s mate even if you ARE a Taiyoukai. What happened to your hono…”
“Oh really. Sit boy.” Kagome said and also saving Inuyasha from finishing his sentence---Sesshomaru would really kill him for saying he didn’t have any honor. She sighed saying she was on her way to see lady Kaede.
Maybe she could help with this ‘fake baby/pup’ problem that was created by Sesshomaru. God! What was he thinking?! The sun was setting. Looked like they’d have to stay here in the village. Suddenly there was a….
BOOM!
“%#$%$#%#$!!!”
Murmurs and shock from the soldiers (some backed away feeling the purifying energy burn them) as one spoke up saying, “You’re mate is a powerful Miko sire.” He said more like a statement than a question.
“Hnn…”
“Ah lady Sango my love…” Miroku finally spoke up and then gulped stopping. This woman was wise. She knew exactly what he was going to say. So now was not the time to ask her.
“Kouga-sama will you come to the western palace with everyone?” Sesshomaru asked.
“Ah yes Sesshomaru-sama. It seems like Ayame and I have a lot of catching up to do with you all—that is if you don’t mind.” Kouga said in a royal manner. Seemed like he’d changed since he ruled the southern lands.
“Hnn…”
“Uhhmm…” Kagome said.
“Don’t worry. He has a hard head. He’ll catch up to us later.” Sesshomaru said, a hand on Kagome’s shoulder in reassurance. For his sake, Sesshomaru inwardly hoped Inuyasha behaved while in court. It was not hard besides how was Inuyasha going to get a mate with that behavior of his?
‘…………’
A soldier glanced over at Sango then noticing her boomerang. “I was just…Are you by any chance a demon slayer my lady?” he asked randomly. His father had encountered slayers before. It wouldn’t do for one of her to enter the palace whose whole staff, soldiers, royals and servants WERE demons.
Their lady Kagome---Miko but she was an exception since she was their sire’s mate.
‘………..’
Sango blinked. Should she lie?! The truth? And started to panic---her face paling.
“Hnn…this is lady Sango. She’s a warrior like all of you. Show her respect as you would any royal as she is also lady Kagome’s most trusted friend.” Sesshomaru said.
Sango blinked giving Sesshomaru an extremely grateful expression. Seemed like all demons and men would keep their hands off of her but she couldn’t say the same for Miroku…..
Kagome had already started walking towards the village as everyone else followed and grinned. She was SO going to give Sesshomaru a piece of her mind at night! How could he even suggest something like that? Any demon could sense she was not expecting! She sensed him walking a step behind her and planned it all out in her mind---grinning evilly again.
Well behaved was he?
‘………..’
