A Night Both Would Remember
The present reigning Inu-no-Taishou peered over the cliff of the mountain to watch the lands below him. His ever so calm stature, as usual, showed no emotion to his followers. The wind blew through his long moon-shining, silver hair and haori. He absentmindedly ran his clawed fingers through his Mokomoko-sama that was wrapped around his left shoulder.
“Sesshoumaru-sama,” a girl’s voice asked below him.
Looking down at her smiling face from the corner of his eye, the lord asked in his usual stoic manner. "What is it Rin?" hiding his curiosity, behind his cold mask.
“Don’t you think the sunset is beautiful, Sesshoumaru-sama,” she asked, full of child-like innocence and awe.
He looked back out to the horizon of the setting sun and inwardly smiled, though his only response was,” Humph.” His icy expression softened in the slightest bit, though you couldn’t ever tell. After the sun completely disappeared behind the mountains, he calmly turned his back and walked in the opposite direction, from whence he came.
“Jaken,” Sesshoumaru calls. His bumbling imp demon servant ran towards him, waving his staff wildly.
“You called, milord,” the imp croaked.
“Jaken, we will rest here for the night. Take Au-Un to the river and then prepare camp,” Sesshoumaru ordered.
His servant nodded and took the reigns of the two headed dragon. Jaken walked off, once again almost tripping over his Heads-staff. Rin ran out in front of the imp, heading towards the sounds of the rushing river.
“Oh! Jaken-sama, look at these flowers,” the girl exclaimed cheerfully, spotting flowers blooming by the river bank.
“Rin! Riiiiin! Get back here,” Jaken, shouted, still keeping the same pace. “Baka girl, always running off. Sesshoumaru-sama will have my head if something happens to that worthless nigen,” he mumbled under his breath. He shouts again,” Rin, do you hear me?! Do as I say and get away from the river!”
Sesshoumaru continued walking away from the edge of the cliff, way behind the group, until he caught a familiar scent. Moments after, he felt a strong gust of wind blow his hair and mokomoko-sama forward. His eyes narrowed when he recognized the scent of Naraku. However, he knew it was not the cursed hanyou, but one of his incarnates.
The wind witch dropped down gracefully from her giant feather, her feet lightly touching the rocks of the cliff‘s edge.
Without turning his body, he glanced at her form from the corner of his eye,” State your business Kagura,” he commanded in his cold monotone voice.
“Hmm…a cold prick as always, I see,” Kagura stated smoothly. The taiyoukai only replied by walking away and ignoring her.
“I will ask you again, state your business for coming here, or leave. This Sesshoumaru has no time to waste with the likes of you,” he said, beginning to get annoyed. She smirked and followed after him. “Woman, if you here to ask about me killing Naraku for you, then I would not waste my breath. I, Sesshoumaru, shall kill that hanyou, but not for some creation’s freedom.”
Kagura's eyes narrowed in anger at that comment. "I did not come here to ask for your help in kill that bastard! I came of my own free will!" Getting a sly look on her face she decided to taunt him in return "However if your offering...?"
Sesshoumaru turned slightly, perplexed at the response she threw back at him. Not letting it show on his face, he flicked his hair back behind him and continued to walk forward. To all outward appearance, it seemed that he was once again ignoring the witch.
Opening her fan slightly, Kagura smirked as she flicked her wrist, causing another gust of wind toward the arrogant Taiyoukai. A true smile crossed her face as she watched the length of fur wrap around his legs, effectively stopping his forward movement.
Sesshoumaru thought her attempts to stop him from walking from her, were amusing. The Taiyoukai turned around to fully face the wind witch, the process unwrapping his legs from the embrace of his Mokomoko-Sama. "This Sesshoumaru would like to ask you a question."
Kagura was taken aback. What could he possibly want to ask her? Nodding her head slightly, Kagura give her silent permission, while in her mind, she was reeling with nervousness.
“After this filth is removed, what do you plan to do?”
Shrugging her shoulders slightly Kagura stepped over to the lone tree that stood nearby. Within her mind, she was shocked at the simple yet complex question. She hadn't given much thought to it. Folding her legs beneath her, she sat gazing up at the stars, hoping to find an answer that would not reveal too much of her thoughts.
She was startled out of her silent contemplation of the heavens by movement as the demon lord joined her. Where could she begin to answer?
“I guess I’d want to live a normal life of a youkai: finding a mate and having children,” she said finally. Feeling the soft warmth of fur, Kagura turned her head slightly to study his face, as she waited for his reply. A soft blush dusted her cheeks when she realized that Sesshoumuru was in turn, watching her.
Resting his arm on his raised knee, Sesshoumaru turned his attention to the stars. Thinking that he was not going to answer Kagura followed his example.
"Family...." He said so softly she could barely hear him. The two of them sat in a comfortable silence, Kagura realizing that she would not get anymore out of him. Sighing wistfully in his mind Sesshoumaru leaned back against the tree causing Mokomoko-Sama to rest closer to Kagura's side.
‘Family,’ he repeated to himself,’ with Kagura…that would be…nice.’
