SKFW Day 1 - Courting

For SessKag Fluff Week. 300 words.

Prompt:  Character A has been acting strange so character B confronts them.

*

Kagome would have never called Sesshoumaru touchy-feely, but something must have happened to him three months ago. A serious head injury was Kagome’s best guess. Because ever since he'd been behaving wholly out of character.

He came to visit the village every week. And without a fail, he would seek out her instead of little Rin. He’d sidle up right next to Kagome until they stood so close their shoulders touched. And then he’d do nothing. He’d just stand there, silent, giving her a hooded side-eye.

Then, last month he’d gravitated to rubbing his hand along her back on occasion. Or giving Kagome’s shoulder a squeeze. 

Kagome had been holding her tongue. Honestly, it wouldn’t have been creepy if it had been anyone else. From Sesshoumaru, however, this sudden Mr Handsy routine was bizarre. And Kagome didn’t want to provoke an insane daiyoukai.

But this, this was just too much.

She stared at the red blotch on the inside of her wrist, the shape of his fingertip. 

“Did you just smear me with blood?” she demanded to know, incredulous.

“Yes.”

Eurgh. So unhygienic.

She slanted a glance at his blood-stained claws.

“Is it yours?”

“Yes.”

Well, that was something at least.

Kagome inhaled slowly and prayed for patience. And some fricking answers.

“Why?”

“To lay claim.”

“To… what?”

“The scent-marking no longer seemed sufficient,” Sesshoumaru elaborated.

Kagome blinked. “That’s what you’ve been doing these last three months? Scent-marking me?”

“Yes.”

“Why?!”

“To lay claim,” Sesshoumaru repeated. “To discourage potential suitors as you have a tendency to amass them. Myself included”

Kagome poor overwrought brain broke at that point. She was pretty sure she was blushing.

She swallowed. “I’m not familiar with youkai customs, Sesshoumaru. You’ll need to use your words.”

His burning gaze locked with hers.

“Will you be mine?”

Amazing art by @valgreys for Chapter 35 of “The Way to Elysium.”

I’m so excited that we’ve reached this point!! This story, at over 200K words, is massive, and we’re only halfway there, but I am excited to continue this year. There’s still lots to put on paper, and I hope you’re with me on this 💜💜💜

Thank you for supporting me on this writing journey!

I’m so in love with this cover art for “You and Me After All” by Mochi/ @heavenin--hell . I love their expressions, the way they try to catch each other’s eyes and yet could not… ♥️💔♥️

P.S. Took me nearly 3 weeks of slave-work, but I DID IT. I’m super satisfied! Hope y’all love him as much as I do!
