Hooola ;P

this is a little idea I got as I watched Turandot with my history class and I couldn't get it out of my mind :P So I hope you´ll enjoy my first Sesskag fic.

(( None of the inuyasha characters are mine, they belong to Rumiko Takahashi))

The prince rose quietly and the woman, Kagome, stood up as well.

He turned around towards the door, before looking slightly back towards the girl again.

"Let's go. The court awaits the answer"

She nodded slightly as the girl smiled a faint smile towards him and followed him outside, his long silvery white hair moving softly behind him as he walked, the morning sun's rays reflecting in its silky strands. A weight staining her chest as she now would lose her loved one forever.

As she had came to know him better her love for him had only kept growing and that was why she had to do.

His happiness surpassed her need for her own and as they walked out to meet the awaiting people and nobles she knew she had done the right thing.

She had to let him go.

Part 6

The crowd became silent as the prince and Kagome came in, seeming like the whole town held their breath to the announcement that would come.

Sesshomaru walked out to stand on the place in front of the masses of people, youkai and humans alike after he had bowed in greeting to his father. Everyone's eyes were locked on him.

Then he started to speak.

"The woman cleared the test that was made for my mating and yet she gave me a chance to win, by answering one simple question by sunrise. All I needed to do was find her name and I used every trail and every way I had in my power to attain it"

The crowd's aura seemed to darken slightly. They should had known, if the prince wanted something, he got it. Everything was lost and the human would be imprisoned as many more girls would have to suffer.

The sad whispers already traveled through the crowd and this was only seconds after his words and the friends of the Miko felt the hope was lost. Their little carefree Kagome would never join them again.

Sesshomaru clearly heard the crowds whispering with his youkai hearing and he smirked slightly and took a deep breath before he let out the words no one expected.

"But I failed"

The crowd turned deathly quiet as they just stared at him, the prince looking as calm as ever.

The ice prince failed?

…and was that a smirk on his lips?

Kagome couldn't fully comprehend what just happened.

What?

But she had told him within the time range...why would he say he fails? Her mind was racing with confusion and shock and she didn't realize what was happening until a strong arm surrounded her waist and she felt a warm body next to her own. She looked up to meet a pair of warm golden eyes filled with so much love and yearning that her knees seemed to weaken, his gaze so intense as it held her captive.

"This woman..."

The Inuyoukai smiled slightly towards the dazed Miko in his arms, knowing the decision he'd made was the right one.

"...will be my mate and queen"

The crowd finally pulled themselves as his final words were said and they cheered happily. Once again the kingdom would return to its previous glory, ruled by a king and queen.

And just as the Queen herself managed to melt this fact and she had smiled happily towards her fiancé', the said demon had clashed his lips on hers in a fierce but loving kiss and after the towns people regained after that new shock of the princes official show of emotion they cheered and whistled towards the couple, making Kagome`s cheek burn even hotter.

That fact didn't bother Sesshomaru at all as he instead kissed her even more yearningly an purred in contentment and soon the girl relaxed into his arms once again as she threw her arms around his neck, leaving her old life behind her.
