Paper Moon
The mate of the late Inutaisho sat lazily upon her throne, staring into the shapely forms of clouds.
"Mother, I do not wish to repeat myself."
The Demoness rested her chin upon her palm. "No need. I heard you the first time."
A silence stretched in between them.
"I do not see the point in this. I don't understand wh-"
Sesshomaru cut her sentence short. "It is not for you to understand."
She blew out an aggravated sigh, and gave her Son a chastising look. "And what do you expect to come from this? Immortality?"
Sesshomaru walked several paces closer to her throne. Seeing the close proximity, The demoness straightened her form. She eyed her Son, looking for the so called 'feelings' he now harbored. Wondering whether he would show mercy, if she refused to give in.
Sesshomaru's features were nothing remotely close to any emotion, yet his eyes held a deep, engraved feeling of understanding-That knew no boundary or limit.
Honorable Mother reached into her long, silken sleeve, and pulled out a elegantly, crafted necklace. Her fingers traced the large, magenta stone that hung from it. For a split second, she second-guessed her decision. She started to retract the necklace towards her chest when Sesshomaru's hand came into view. He was a foot from her throne; His stance relaxed, as he held out his palm in front of her face. The Demoness stopped mid-movement, and looked up to her Son. He had never been so close to her in such a long time, that she started to feel a bit threatened.
His baritone voice echoed as he made an annoyed noise. "Mother."
She cautiously looked at him before looking away. "What do you think you'll accomplish by this, Sesshomaru?"
She looked into his face, searching for an answer. "What do expect to happen? That she'll live forever?" She spit out the last word with such sarcasm, that without hesitance Sesshomaru grabbed the necklace from her grasp, making his Mother flinch back from the close contact.
All The Demoness could do was stare at his back in bewilderment, as he began to slowly descend the stairs.
