T for Tattoo
She was in what could be described as euphoria, her face had a constant smile and she just couldn't wait to see his reaction when he sees what she had done. All the more, she wished he would find out without her having to show.
He was awed, stunned and dumb folded. His lungs refused to inhale the much needed air, his tongue refused to move, his lips declined to close. It shone like a single most precious gem in the back of her nape, safe behind her raven strands, peeking a bit, just to tease him.
"Kagome, Why?" He asked when his mind finally smacked him back to the senses.
She smiled, her cheeks brightened in the most delicious colours under the highlights of night. She gathered her silky mass of tress to one side, revealing him the skin which was now branded with ink. His claws traced the pattern, his digits gracing the half crescent in her neck.
"It's a tattoo, permanent" She informed, his eyes slipped down to meet hers, gold and brown met in the mid, conversing what could never be done through words.
She had told without language that she was his and he was content, happy and ecstatic. She had proudly accepted her mate, with a ring in her finger and his mark in her shoulder. His fingers glided down her hair, a gentle tug to a single strand.
Now it was his turn to bear her mark. His finger had woven a strand of her ebon around it, as a simple mark that he was hers. It burnt in a violet hue and imprinted in the base of his finer, a mark of bow, as bright as a tattoo.
