Playing Mister Romantic
It's been approximately a year since Sesshoumaru found Rin, his half-demon daughter on his front porch. It's been four months since Sesshoumaru had asked Miss Kagome to be his girlfriend. How can Daddy Fluffy possibly be a loving father and a loving boyfriend at the same time?

Hiromi Taisho was a very powerful demoness—to the point of scariness. When she had been together with Toga Taisho, Hiromi has been ruthless, power-hungry, and well...scary. She was a business tycoon in her own ways, and after her unsuccessful matrimonial attachment to Toga, she had married another demon, Ryukotsusei. And with this marriage, some would say that she was even more terrifying.
But Sesshoumaru knew differently. His mother was like a saint to those who truly knew her. She was wise, kind, and caring—not to mention, very protective of his son. After his mother and father separated, it was because of his mother that Sesshoumaru bore no ill feelings towards either demons. He was taught that sometimes, things just don't work out.
Something that he wished didn't fit his and Kagome's situation.
He pulled up to park his car in front of the main door, allowing the valet to take it into the garage. He held Rin's tiny hands in one hand and Kagome's surprisingly cold ones in the other. He turned towards her and leaned in, taking in the smell of cherry blossoms and honey. "Don't be nervous."
Kagome rolled her eyes and breathed out. "This is your mother, Sesshoumaru. The great Hiromi Taisho," she paused, straightening her blouse, "I should be hyperventilating right now."
As the doors open, the trio was met with two maids and none other than Sesshoumaru's "birth giver," as he oftentimes called her.
"Sesshoumaru, my son! How dare you not visit me from time to time!" she antagonized, yet stepped forward to kiss him on the cheek.
Hiromi truly did live up to her name of "abundant beauty". She looked like the female version of Sesshoumaru, but it seemed as if her lips were permanently painted purple. The dark purple dress she wore oozed elegance, styled with a fur pelt around her shoulders. On her neck was a beautiful stone, a dark blue one held by a chain of pearls.
Nudging her on the ribs, Sesshoumaru watched as Kagome bowed to his mother in respect, an example that Rin soon followed.
"My, my. Is this the ever-so famous Kagome I've heard so much about from Toga? And my sweet granddaughter, Rin?" Hiromi crooned as Rin found herself jumping into the arms of her new grandmother.
Kagome blushed at the fact that Toga talked about her to Sesshoumaru's mother—what could he have possibly told the honorable woman?
Hiromi led them all to the patio, where tea had been set up for them.
"Kago! I have to pee!" Rin wailed, crossing her legs and slightly bending her body, doing the "pee-pee dance" continuously.
Kagome bowed and excused herself, letting an attendant show them to the nearest bathroom.
"From what I've heard, Kagome is quite the lady," Hiromi started, sipping her tea and raising a perfectly maintained eyebrow.
Sesshoumaru nearly spit out his drink. "Yes Mother, she is."
"And what are your intentions with her?"
"Those are none of your concerns."
Hiromi rolled her eyes. Her son was such an ass. "It most certainly is my concern! If my granddaughter adores Kagome, then you shall have her as your mate. I will not have you going around and impregnating a bitch who certainly doesn't deserve it. Since it worked so well the first time," she explained, muttering the last bit under her breath.
Surely, Sesshoumaru still heard it. "I am certainly attracted to Kagome. I still do not know if I am comfortable enough to ask her to be my mate—seeing that it is too early for such a question. In addition to that, her feelings for me are...not exactly similar to mine."
Hiromi stayed silent, signaling that her son may continue explaining. Sesshoumaru could only sigh. "She likes me, but not as much I do. But she tells me that she finds herself falling for me each day that we spend together. And no, Mother. I do not intend to drunkenly take another woman ever again. I've learned my lesson with Rin."
His mother nodded and placed her cup down, grabbing the handkerchief from the table to tap the corners of her mouth. "As long as you never refer to Rin as a mistake. And I do find myself liking Kagome...if she was a secretary in the company before, then she must be an intelligent girl with a degree. And if she was able to ever tolerate being around you, then she is an intelligent girl with a degree and patience."
The mother-son duo quickly picked up the approaching steps of the two and attempted to change the subject as they both took a seat.
Rin looked from Kagome, to Hiromi, then to Sesshoumaru, studying them all with her learning eyes. "So Rin has a Dada, a Kago, and a Gra-gra-gramma?" she questioned, slowly sounding out all the words.
Hiromi laughed with utmost glee and placed her hand on top of her granddaughter's smaller ones. "Tell me, you adorable child, how is your Dada treating you?" the older demon asked, loving the way her son sent her death glares.
"Dada is awe-sum! He buys me toys and dollies and pwetty dwesses and-and-and he weads me stwowies!" Rin babbled, continuously bouncing in her seat. Her energy certainly made everyone in the room laugh or smile.
After Rin had finished explaining how amazing her father was, Hiromi decided to possibly overstep her boundaries and piss her pissy son off. "And how about Kagome?"
Rin's eyes lit up once again, gazing at Kagome in full adoration. "Kago is so pwetty and nice! She plays with me when Dada's not home, like how a mommy does!"
Sesshoumaru could hear Kagome's panicked breathing start up at Rin's mention of "mommy". It was something that they had never talked about before and listening to his child babble about it made seem so...real and happening.
Hiromi, on the other hand, was proud of her accomplishments. Not only did she meet her long-awaited granddaughter, who was now the new apple of her eye, she had also successfully given Kagome and Sesshoumaru an opportunity to expand their relationship. Seeing that they definitely needed it.
Clapping her hands, she reached over to Rin and held the little girl in her arms while raising her brow at the two other grown beings. Toga was completely right—meddling into their lives are ridiculously entertaining and fun.
"How about I show little Rin around the house? I demand some bonding time with my angelic granddaughter!" she demanded, not waiting for an answer from any of the two. She left with such a speed and snickered along with her soon-to-be little minion.
Maybe it was a perfect time for Sesshoumaru and Kagome to finally talk some things out.
