Witches, Fairies, Warlords, What Next? .............................................................................For Akumi's challenge: "Penguins"
The corporate executive looked at his wife and mate of five years as she got them ready for the Halloween ball that she had some how managed to talk him into having. It was an affair that was supposed to allow his employees and their families to get to know one another outside of work, as well as giving him the ability to make potential partnerships with other company heads and their families that were also invited.
It was a costume ball of coarse. He was tailored in a traditional feudal warlords attire of scarlet and white with sakura blossoms, swords, armor, fuzzy pelt and all. Their four year old daughter, Rin, decked out adorably in a fairy costume, though he's never seen a fea wear anything that sparkled, nor was ever so pink. His wife, Kagome, in a slinky black number that had a low but tasteful V-neck line that plunged a bit, complete with choker, and pointy hat. Though again he had never seen a 'witch' look anything like that.
And finally there was his retainer, and Rin's personal 'nanny' Jaken, dressed sharply in a black tux. Raising a silver brought as he wife finished up with the last few curls on their daughters head, he couldn't help but wonder what Jaken was supposed to be. He'd thought a 'spy,' but the old toad was far too clumsy. Then he thought perhaps he was going to be a 'waiter,' but then the little toad didn't like to serve anyone other then his own family. Finally not being about to sate his curiosity any longer the old dog cracked.
"Kagome?" his baritone voice called.
"Hn." she musically replied still fixing Rin's attire.
"This Sesshomaru understands that he is a 'War Lord.'"
"MmmHmm." she called bobby pin in mouth, still fiddling with Rin's hair.
"Rin is a 'fairy.'" he stated.
"Yep, she is the cutest fairy ever!" Kagome said kissing her small daughter's forehead.
"You are a 'witch.'" he stated, and questioned at the same time, causing Kagome to raise her brow at him, wondering where he was going with all of this. She simply nodded her head, not wanting to give him the chance to have herself admit to being a 'witch.' What wife would want to give their husband that ammo?
"Then what prey tell is Jaken supposed to be?" he questioned with a quaked brow, and pointed claw at the waddling servant.
"A Penguin daddy!" beamed Rin as Kagome stared to giggle at the incredulous looked she was getting from both Jaken and Her mate and husband.
"A ...penguin?" Sesshomaru drawled out.
"Mmmhmm." she said with a smile as she kissed him soundly, and they all left for the ball.
