The 15 year old Huaisang Nie made his way to the Higurashi training field hearing the clashing of swords getting louder. 'I wonder if it's Kagome…' he thought as he reached the field and his eyes widen when he saw that it was indeed Kagome sparing Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian was more like fire while Kagome was much like water in their swords styles. "Tiring on me, dear brother?" taunted Kagome as she easily pared a slash and Wuxian smirked and said, "No way." Before charging once more. It was like watching a very deadly dance. "They've been each other's sparing partners before they got their swords." Said Bankotsu as he joined him and Huaisang said, "Uncle." He smirked and asked, "Came to visit Kagome." He used his fan to hid his sheepish smile and said, "Yeah." He patted his shoulder and then said, "Maybe I can arrange a marriage between you two."
Which caused him to blush and then they saw Kagome using her sword sheath to trip Wei Wuxian and straddled his waist with her sword at his throat. "I win, dear brother." He smiled proudly and teased, "I do like you on top of me." She giggled as she got up and said, "Quite you goof." He stood up and then ruffled her hair as before Bankotsu called, "Kagome! Ying!" making them turn and Kagome smiled which he returned.
Wei Wuxian crossed his arms behind his head as he watched Kagome go to Huaisang who smiled softly and held back a chuckle when she hugged him and he blushed slightly but returned it. 'He likes her as dose Cheng…' he thought, shielding his mind as he came up and said, "Bro Nie." Making him quickly pull back from Kagome and "So you like my sister?" making them blush and Kagome glared at him and snapped, "Behave." He held up his hands and said, "Just asking. Cheng was asking about you." She sighed and said, "I'm not interested in him beyond friendship."
"Bro Jiang is interested in you?" asked Huaisang and he noticed the barley hidden jealousy and slight coldness which made Wei Wuxian surprised. "Apparently so, don't get me wrong, I don't mind Young Master Jiang, but he is just to…brash." Kagome said and then Huaisang asked, "Kagome, can I talk to alone about something?" she nodded and took his offered arm and they left. "He likes her." Said Bankotsu and Wei Wuxian nodded and said, "I saw jealousy in his eyes when I mentioned Cheng. It seems that Kagome was right. Bro Huaisang is a fox in disguise." "Indeed. He is brilliant in playing on his weakness."
~With Huaisang and Kagome~
"Why are we here?" asked Kagome as she looked at her companion who had led her to their garden of chrysanthemums. He said nothing as he picked a blue one and placed it in her hair which made her blush and he said, "I have something for you…" as they sat at the small tea table that facing a small pond. He reached into his sleeve and pulled out an covered fan and said with a shy smile, "I made this for you." Kagome accepted it and gasped when she opened it to reveal a beautifully painted golden chrysanthemum the rich blue of the Higurashi Sect with a golden tinsel. "I got the fan from here but painted the flower." He said bashfully and Kagome said, "I love it, Huaisang."
Then took her hand making her look at him with a questioning look. "Kagome…I want to court you." He said locking eyes and she flushed and asked, "But why?" as she used one of her abilities, 'Truth Inducement'. "Because I don't want any other men to touch or have you. You are mine and always have been. I want you as my wife. You don't care that I am not as strong as others or that I am not focused on cultivation. Your kind, beautiful, gentle, loving and so selfless and brave, I want that for myself. I will stop ant nothing to ensure that you will always belong to me and that I will make you and any of our children happy and safe. You are worth so much more that I can offer." He said, the weak façade dropped, reveling the crafty and true personality.
Huaisang waited for her response and started to get nerves but that faded as soon she reached up and kissed him, opening the fan to shield it from view. He relaxed into the kiss and wrapped his arms around her, mindful of her bamboo flute, and then pulled away and asked, "Is that your answer?" "Why of course, I don't kiss other men like that are not my boyfriend." She teased and he chuckled and said, "I would hope not." Before kissing her forehead and then asked, "Play for me?" she nodded as she took out the covered Dizi and he said, "It's beautiful. Did you tell me the name?" "This is Tiāntáng." She said as she gently stroked the pure white bamboo fluet before placing her fingers on the body and started to play which made him close his eyes as he enjoyed the happy melody.
~A few hours later~
The young couple lost track of times as they just talked and kissed, leaning so much more about the other person and found that they had a lot in common. Kagome even convinced Huaisang to start to learn their style of martial arts while discreetly strengthening his Golden Core. To his surprised, he felt more centered and oddly stronger. Kagome on the other hand was happy that he took to Tai Chi easily and quickly and was already benefiting from it. "It is focused on healing and strengthening oneself but also can be use for self defense. I taught you a few major pressure points." She said before stealing a kiss which was saw by Xun Er who squeezed them and immediately hugged them both and congratulated then said, "We must tell the family!" Which lead them both to be embarrassed by Wei Wuxian and Bankotsu while Tora who had a knowing smile and asked, "Do you have the intention of marrying?"
Huaisang hid his face with his fan out of embarrassment but said, "I hope so in the future." As Kagome took his hand and he smiled softly at her and then Wei Wuxian said, "I would recommend that you and Sect leader Nie creates a betrothal for Kagome and Bro Huaisang. I overheard Madam Yu pressuring Uncle Jiang for a marriage between Cheng and Kagome." Tora looked at Bankotsu who hugged as he crossed his arms and asked, "What?" "What will you do?"
