Two versions of a story. I wrote the first one before I remembered it had to be about Kagome and Sesshomaru.
Version one - which is NOT ROMANTIC. Not meant to be portrayed as a pairing.
Title: Tears
Author: c_e_s_09
Theme: Droplet
Genre: Grief
Warnings: Character death.
Word count: 100
Summary: Sesshomaru never cried for his father's death. Some said he could shed no tears. Once again, Rin proved to be a catalyst for things Sesshomaru would never do.
Sesshomaru stared down at the grave marker of his beloved ward. After almost 80 years, time had finally caught up with her. She had married a human, had many human children, and had warmed the hearts of all she met.
Something wet ran down his face. Looking to the clouds, he thought it to be a droplet of rain. With surprise, he lifted a hand to his face. Tears. It seemed fitting to shed tears for the first time over the little girl who had essentially saved him from himself. Thank you, Rin. For showing me how wrong I was.
Version two - which IS meant to be romantic. Yes, meant to be portrayed as missed opportunity for a pairing. :P

Summary: Sesshomaru never cried for his father's death. Some said he could shed no tears. Once again, Kagome managed to prove him wrong.
Sesshomaru stared down at the grave marker ofKagome Higurashi. Even now, 100 years later, it still hurt to think of her. She had mated Inuyasha, had three children with him, and lived a happy life.
He had not. Every day he regretted not going to her after the final battle to express how he felt. He ended up mating a demoness from his mother's court, but he felt nothing for her. Kagome held his heart.
A droplet of salty wetness hit his lip. Cursing old memories, he quickly wiped his face and turned to leave. I love you, Kagome...
Hope you enjoyed. :)
