~ooO Shimmer Ooo~

She stared up at him uncertain.

“A mating gift,” he told her. “I have been remiss in presenting one to you.”

Blue eyes shimmered with tears, tears of joy and pleasure; they shone with warmth and welcome. Sesshoumaru thought he could look into their shining depths forever. Forcefully he dragged his attention to the here and now.

“Open it,” he told her, gesturing towards the box he had just presented to her.

She looked bemused before she obeyed his instructions, unknotting the hemp string, lifting the lid, setting it aside, to reveal the cloth within. Her lips were parted in shock and awe as she removed the material and then set the box down.

The rich navy blue material shimmered with each movement. There was metallic thread woven through the fabric making it glitter as the cloth shifted. Carefully she unfolded the bundle and allowed it to hang free. It was a kimono, most definitely hand-made and expensive given the elaborate embellishments on the shoulders, hems and back.

“I can’t accept this! It must have cost a fortune!”

“You can,” he told her firmly.

“It’s too much for someone like me,” she told him in a small voice.

“No, it’s perfect.”

She looked up at him with searching eyes and saw something that reassured her. She began carefully refolding the material, then tucking it into its box.

“I will wear it when we celebrate Naraku’s defeat.”
