Concept – Rings

Oh he was in trouble, he felt it with every fiber of his being he was about to be in some big trouble. Golden eyes darted back and forth in hopes of finding the cursed object that was going to be the death of him as he searched his office frantically. His little wife wouldn't be home for another hour which left him with a very small window and very slim chances of finding the wedding ring.

Of course, Sesshomaru was not a demon that scared easily, in all his years of ruling the western part of Japan he had taken down many foes and enemies with ease. But his wife was a different bundle of dynamite, she was a sweet and devoted woman but when crossed she was like a stick of fireworks shoved up his ying yang topped with a trip to the deepest parts of hell that even the devil wouldn't go near. She was definitely a force to be reckoned with when provoked and he was more than sure that he would be pushing a dooms day button if he didn't find that ring.

"Daddy?" A small voice called out to him, cutting through the pounding headache he was currently sporting. He turned towards the owner of the voice and couldn't help but beckon her in, teddy bear and all.

"Yes little flower?" He questioned calmly before flopping into his chair, he could always spare a few minutes for his only daughter.

"What are you looking for?" At this he let out a sigh and watched as she floated closer to him. Bright blue eyes, the same shade as her mother's, looking up at him with concern as her small body climbed into his lap.

"I have lost something quite important my little blossom." Was his simple reply as she grabbed his hand to stare at his finger.

"You lost you and mommy's ring?" She questioned knowingly, he couldn't help but nod as her pigtails swished around her. "I'll fix it." She stated confidently before pulling out a bright pink marker.

"Hn." Sesshomaru replied as he fixed his gaze on his young daughter. He was amused to say the least as her face twisted into concentration. Seconds passed as tiny hands drew a fake ring around his finger, complete with hearts and flowers.

"There you go daddy!" She stated after a few minor touches, he offered her a rare smile before lifting his hand up and staring at it.

"Thank you my little one." He replied nonchalantly before patting her on the head, she squealed in delight and cuddled into him immediately before looking up as a knock reverberated across the room.

"Enter." Sesshomaru called out casually as Kimiko sat up in his lap and began to draw.

"Hey dad here's the ring you told me to go and get cleaned. The guy said one of the diamonds were loose so he tightened it up and made it look good as new." His eyes couldn't get any wider as his mind flashbacked to earlier that week when he commanded his second eldest to go and take the ring to the jewelry shop to get cleaned.

"Daddy?" Kimiko called out to him. He turned towards her and shook off the thoughts immediately before placing his mask of indifference back on and extending his hand out. Shiko hesitantly moved forward and handed him the box before standing in front of his father awkwardly.

"Thank you son." He replied simply before handing him some money and waving him off.

"Can I go with you ani?" Kimiko questioned earning a nod from the older boy as he walked over and picked her up. Sesshomaru was happy for the solitude as he stared at the black box, completely baffled at how he could forget.

'It must be the centuries catching up to me.' He thought begrudgingly as he sat back and closed his eyes.
