Prompt 8: International

As the dawn broke, Kagome opened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes wearily and stretched, cringing at the pain.

She stiffened as a warm nose burrowed itself into her neck.

Shock overcame her and her eyes opened wide. She remembered.

She lost her virginity, but not to Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru.

Strangely, she did not feel regret.

She focused on the male now watching her, scenting her.

“Miko,” he rumbled.

“Good…morning… Sesshomaru-sama,” she whispered.

His gazed hardened. “There is no such need to be formal… Kagome.”

Kagome stuttered out an apology. She watched, fascinated and a tad bit embarrassed, as the demon lord stood up and stretched in all his naked glory.

“W-why?” she asked.

Sesshomaru looked at her once more, his stoic façade in place.

“You are mine, Kagome. “ He held his hand up to halt her interruption. “Your defiance, your power, your very soul made you mine when we met so many moons ago.”

She stared up at him incredulously, “B-but...you don’t… love me.”

His body tensed and he glared down at her. “Do not presume to know me, Miko.”

He forced his body to relax, and Sesshomaru did the one thing he never thought he would do.

He showed her himself.

Kagome stared in wonder. There was so much emotion and depth in his eyes. She could see his desire, his affection, his need, and his love. For her. He was hers.

Strangely, she felt calm.

 She stood and slowly made her way over to him, placing her hand over his heart. Looking up in to his face with eyes wide and bright, she whispered, “Truly?”

“There is not another female the world over more worthy,” he rumbled.

“You are mine. Forever,” he said lowly.

Strangely, she didn’t have any issues with that either.

“Forever,” she agreed.
