As they walked toward the room where Sesshoumaru was introducing Kagome to his mother, Touga and Izayoi took the lack of screaming and crying as a good sign, though Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru, standing in the corridor watching a closed door, was an unexpected sight. “You left them alone together?”
“Obviously,” Sesshoumaru muttered. Kagome and his mother had been sequestered for nearly an hour, and the silence left him tense and in no mood to discuss the situation.
“Kagome can take care of herself,” Inuyasha said, “but the quiet is creeping me out. I’d do just about anything to be a fly on the wall in there.”
When the door finally opened, they were somewhat shocked to see Kagome and Hisako, arms now linked like BFFs.
“Sesshoumaru,” Hisako scolded, “why did you not introduce me to this darling girl months ago? She told me the exercises she teaches can help my golf game.”
Touga snorted; it was typical of his ex to downplay her part in any drama. “So you won’t oppose their union?”
Hisako stared a moment at Touga, standing with his wife and other son, and smiled gently. “Despite my initial reluctance to admit it, there are things more important than bloodlines and conformity to custom.” She picked up Sesshoumaru’s hand and placed Kagome’s in it. “I give you my blessings.”
Sesshoumaru kissed his mother’s cheek, then hugged Kagome tightly to him. “Whatever you did, I’m impressed,” he whispered.
“Well…since I’m so charming, maybe now would be a good time to ask you about your best man.” Kagome winked at Inuyasha.
Sesshoumaru turned and saw his half-brother wearing a happy, devious grin. The first reaction was to refuse, but, like his mother, Sesshoumaru knew it was time to move forward. “Perhaps.”
His real intent was clear to all.
