Authoresses Note: A short drabble I wrote based on the following prompt: Imagine your OTP dying their hair crazy colors. It's more for humor's sake than anything, and it may be a little stupid, but keep in mind it was written in under twenty minutes.
Pairings: Sesshomaru x Emiko (OC), InuYasha x Kagome.
Warnings: Possibly stupid humor, screwing with canon (kind of), semi!modern day AU. Read at your own discretion.
Commentary and feedback is appreciated~
Pink?
"It'll be fun," she tries to tell him, but he has none of it. Emiko sighs as she puts away the pink hair dye, a little disappointed her husband is the epitome of boring. "Come on, just a streak?"
"I told you before, no," Sesshomaru says with the slightest hint of venom. However, the hurt look on Emiko's face causes him to sigh and pat her recently dyed red hair. "Dye does not come out easily in white hair. You should know that if you did research on this... obscure subject."
"I can get it out!" she exclaims, puffing out her chest in a dramatic show, and it causes him to shake his head with a fond expression on his features. "Kagome got InuYasha to put green in his hair. Don't you want to one-up him?"
That gets his attention. His eternal rivalry with his younger brother settled a bit (they no longer want to kill each other, at least), yet they still find ways to try and outdo the other sibling. Sesshomaru ponders his wife's words for a few moments before nodding. "Very well."
A look of pure glee goes on Emiko's face, and before she can go further, he puts a hand on her chest. "Just... one streak. I will not hesitate to end you if you make all my hair that... disgusting color."
"Hehe. You won't regret it," the young woman says with bliss evident in her tone.
-v-
"Well?"
Sesshomaru looks at himself in the mirror and pulls on the singular pink streak in his hair. "It looks... decent."
"See? You should trust me more often," Emiko says with a giggle before wrapping her arms around the larger man's waist. "You know I'd do nothing to hurt your pride, my dear."
"Hn," he mutters, yet he wraps an arm around her and kisses her hair.
-v-
"Hah! Pink, really?"
Kagome lets out her own laughter. "Emiko, how did you convince him?"
Emiko grins and pats her husband's arm. "I mentioned the green you put in InuYasha's hair and he had to one-up him."
"But... pink!? That's so... girly!" InuYasha hollers, tears hiding in the corners of his eyes from laughing so hard. "Damn, you really have my hardass of a brother around your pinky finger. It's stupid and hilarious."
Sesshomaru twitches. "Do not make me end your worthless life right here and now, you pathetic half-breed," he snarls, claws flexing and green poison starting to drip from them.
"Now now, love," Emiko says nervously, gripping the hand which isn't leaking a substance which could melt her skin off. "You know your brother. He's just... expressive and you two really haven't gotten over your hatred of one another yet. Just be civil, okay?"
The inu-demon growls faintly before subsiding. "As you wish."
"Yep, wrapped around her finger," the hanyou barks out, laughter subsiding to breathy chuckles. "It's funny."
"I think it's sweet," Kagome replies, a little smile on her face. "Sesshomaru used to be so... negative on his view of the world and the people who inhabited it. I'm happy he found someone to show him in the good in life."
"Yeah, I guess you have a point." He looks at his brother and grins. "Why not the whole head next time, bro?"
Emiko can only sigh when her husband moves towards his little brother with promises of shortening his lifespan. "Boys will be boys."
"That they will," Kagome agrees.
Fin.
