Still His

Phae’s Word Prompts: Betrayal

            Kagome sat next to the fire and looked over the camp.

            Miroku was sleeping closer to Sango than was good for either of them. Shippo and Rin were cuddled up in her sleeping bag, lying next to a dozing Ah-Un. Jaken was sprawled next to them, snoring loudly, but not disturbing any of their sleeping companions. She didn’t have to look behind her to know that Sesshomaru was sitting at the base of a tree, his eyes closed as he took everything in through his other senses.

            And she didn’t have to look up to know that Inuyasha wasn’t sitting in his tree watching over them.

            She didn’t have to look up to know that soul stealers were dancing in the sky, serving as a beacon to any who knew their mistress.

            Kagome smiled gently, an almost out of place expression.

            “I wonder,” she began softly. “I wonder if it can still be considered betrayal.”

            She looked over her shoulder, and blue locked with gold.

            Surprisingly, or not so surprisingly, Sesshomaru looked away first.

            “What do you think, Sesshomaru-sama?” Kagome asked, turning back to the fire.

            “He was never yours,” came the almost indifferent reply.

            “But I’m still his.”

            “Hn.”

…

That was pretty somber.

I like it actually, even though it’s lacking in Sessh/Kag romance.

I also like ending things with “Hn” or “Hnn.”

It’s a really great way to end anything.

Seriously.
