InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha Drabbles ❯ The Best Present ( Chapter 3 )

This is another Sesshoumaru/Rin drabble. (I like to call this a shortie.)

The snow was falling heavily as Sesshoumaru paced around his palace. Slowly he found himself walking into his study. This was his haven; the place where he knew no one would bother him.

He walked over to the wall that held all the scrolls from his father’s time. Tales of conquests, politics, and, thanks to his father’s personal journal, love. He never liked reading those much, seeing how he didn't need to know about something that was never going to happen. The only reason he did was because it was like his father was talking to him. But they took on a new meaning these past few years, especially the past few months.

He heard another scream come from a room in the palace and decided to start walking again to get his mind off of her.

“Lord Sesshoumaru,” called a servant behind him and he turned slowly around. “She is asking for you.”

He bowed his head ever so slightly and followed the young woman to the room. The smell of blood hit his nose before he made it to the door, which caused his mind to race with worry. That all subsided when he saw her lying on the bed with a huge, but weak, smile on her face.

“Sesshoumaru…” she whispered softly as she held a hand motioning him to come closer, “…it’s a girl.”

He walked to her side and looked down at his little girl that looked so much like her mother. Inside he smiled thinking about his father’s words. A child is the best present one could receive.
