Fare Thee Well.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but a large collection of teddybears, a veritable library of books, and my twin sister's soul. Sesshomaru, Kagome and everyone else in the Inuyasha universe belong to Rumiko Takahashi.
"Miko."
"Lord Sesshomaru."
"You are no longer with the half breed."
It was not a question. It was a statement of fact.
"I decided to let the newly-weds have some alone time. Sango and Kikyo probably aren't up for girl talk right now."
"Hn. How does Rin fare?"
"Her lessons are coming along well. She's a very intelligent little girl. You should be proud."
"Hn."
"She's struck up friendships with boys all over the place. I think she'll have at least three suitors for sure when she's old enough to think about stuff like men and marriage."
"Who?"
There was almost a growl in his voice as he spoke. She smiled inwardly. He and Rin were so cute, although she'd never say it aloud. He would probably rip her throat out for even thinking such a thing.
"I can't tell you. What I can tell you is that I can personally vouch for each of them."
"Hn."
"Well, I'd best be on my way. Maybe we'll cross paths again sometime."
He gave no response. She hadn't expected him to.
"Fare thee well, Lord Sesshomaru."
Again, no reply. But seeing as he'd never be the type to yell "See ya!" as his goodbye, she wasn't surprised.
As she turned and walked away, she missed the slight smile that curled the edges of his thin-lipped mouth. That smile would have stunned anyone fortunate enough- or unfortunate enough, as the case may be- to see it. It enhanced his already handsome face to the point of true beauty. It would have been a singularly sweet smile for anyone to wear, yet on the notoriously cold-hearted demon it seemed to… fit.
"Fare thee well… Ka-go-me."
Like? Don't like? Let me know. Flames will very probably be ignored, as this is my first fic and I'm on top of the world for just getting off my ass and writing it.
Might be continued, otherwise it's gonna stay as a one-shot.
See ya!
