Do not own Inuyasha.
Sleepover
Sesshomaru took a moment to organize his thoughts, before jumping in to his real reason for being here. He was unaware of just how much Mrs. Higurashi knew of her daughters love life.
"Lady Higurashi?" he asked.
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru." she answered, amused by the address.
"I am at a disadvantage here." he stated.
"How so?" she asked.
"I am .. in love with your daughter and have come here to seek permission to court her." he stated.
"I figured as much." she told him, mirth dancing in her eyes.
"I would ask you, to allow me stay here at the shrine for a few days. To allow us the opportunity to get acquainted. To give you the assurance that your daughter will be cherished, treasured, safeguarded, and most importantly loved, to the end of my days." he explained, dropping all barriers around himself.
Mrs. Higurashi's hand flew to her mouth at the end of his speech. A lone tear escaped her eye. She quickly wiped it away and composed herself.
"And Kagome, How does she feel?" she asked.
"I love him." came the reply from the doorway.
Mrs. Higurashi looked to her daughter, her eyes only on him. A glow surrounded Kagome, a deep soul searing love. Kagome's mother looked back to the demon lord.
"I would be delighted to have you stay. We have a spare bedroom. My only rule would be, that you would relax and enjoy yourself while here." she said.
"I will do my best. I am in unfamiliar territory, it may take me till tomorrow to fully accommodate to your wishes." Sesshomaru said with a smirk.
"I will go make up the guest room. Are there any specific needs that I need to know about?" she questioned.
"No. I will be more than pleased with whatever you provide." he answered.
Once her mother left the room, Kagome threw herself into Sesshomaru's arms. Gladly caught, he kissed her senseless. When he detected her mother heading back he pulled away.
"Will you continue the tour?" he asked, just as Mrs. Higurashi returned.
"Of course." Kagome replied.
"Mom, call if you need help with anything." she said.
"I will, and thank you for the offer. Now go finish showing him around." her mother ordered.
Kagome lead him through the rest of the house. They headed back outside and she gave him the tour of the shrine grounds. There were some patrons at the main shrine, the two stayed back, waiting. The patrons complimented Kagome's grandfather as they left, about the wonderful demon costume the young man was wearing, leaving a sizeable donation.
"Alright, you can stay." the priest told Sesshomaru.
