The Seamstress

Chapter 169 - The Seamstress *To My Beloved* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

Ever since Sesshoumaru had given her the beautiful necklace, her mating gift, a thought had been dancing at the edge of her mind. She wanted to give him something as well, but it wasn't anything as innocent as jewelry. He had been incredibly aroused by her skimpy pajamas, and that was nothing. She was certain some of the lingerie from her time would make his eyes pop right out of his head. Still, she couldn't go back to her time for such a frivolous thing. Not only would that give her mother time to ask the questions she was avoiding, but if she saw what she purchased, it would open up a whole new line of interrogation.

Kagome was trying to think of some way to follow through with her idea when a thought struck her. "Sesshoumaru?" she asked, making her tone sound as innocent as possible, which immediately set him on edge.

"Yes?" he replied.

"Do you have a seamstress here?"

The taiyoukai raised an eyebrow at his miko angel in curiosity. "Indeed, we do. Is there something you need made? I thought you preferred the clothing of your time."

Kagome batted her eyelashes. "Are you saying you wouldn't like to see me in a kimono?"

"Of course I would, at some point, but I would never attempt to force you to alter your wardrobe."

The miko smiled. "Oh, don't think I don't remember you saying you missed my school uniform." He purred seductively and pulled her closer, only to have Kagome push him away playfully. “There’s something I want to have made, but it's a surprise. Can you take me to the seamstress, or will she be busy? I don't know when the servants eat or sleep."

"You will learn their routines soon enough. Amime should be in her workroom. Come, I will show you." Sesshoumaru was intensely curious as to what Kagome’s secret wardrobe item was, but he would not interrogate her. If she wanted to surprise him, he would allow it. Hell, he would look forward to it!

After a short walk, Sesshoumaru knocked once on the door to Amime's workshop before opening it. He introduced his future mate to the old seamstress, and then excused himself to his study to continue to wade through his work. Once they were alone, Kagome grinned brightly.

"There's something I need made. I doubt you've ever done anything like it before, but I'm hoping together we can make it happen."

The elder youkai nodded with a small smile on her face. She could already tell this would be interesting.
