Pretending
"Kagome!"
Kagome's eyes fell onto her precious 'Shoumu', and she stretched her arms out to him. However, Inu no Taisho frowned as his eyes fell onto Prince Kouga's ruffled appearance and black eye.
In a very dangerous voice, he asked, "Son, what happened to our young guest?"
Seshoumaru innocently cocked his head, "How should I know, Father?"
Inu no Taisho gritted his teeth, "How did he injure his eye?"
Seshoumaru stared at his father, before offering, "He fell?"
"On what?"
"My fist."
Inu no Taisho stared at his unperturbed son. His son stared back.
In the meantime, Kagome was getting extremely impatient.
"Shoumu!"
Seshoumaru's gaze lifted to her, and he took her from his father, whose anger had not diminished.
From the tense atmosphere, Kagome got the feeling that there was trouble brewing, and she did the best thing she could think of. She burst into tears.
That was all it took to dispel the atmosphere. Seshoumaru scowled at his father, as if it was all his fault, and took off in the direction of the gardens, hoping to calm his little Kagome down. As soon, as they were out of sight, Kagome flashed her baby teeth at Seshoumaru, and patted his cheek.
Seshoumaru halted in his tracks and stared down at her. She didn't just… How could she….?
At a loss of words, he kept staring at Kagome, who gurgled with laughter, her eyes sparkling, "Gome protect Seshou."
He didn't know why but those three words tugged at his heart, and he nuzzled her neck, making Kagome purr in contentment.
A.N: I'm sorry for the late update and it's size, but my papers have just finished, and I'm stuck at home, bored, and thus I have writer's block. Whenever I have nothing on my hands, except free time, I get stuck on my stories. Please help me out here. There are a few chapters to go, before something drastic is to happen, but I don't know what to write….HELP!
