WARNING: FLUFF BETWEEN SESSHOUMARU AND KAGURA!

*******************************

Last time on A Night Both Would Remember:

‘What to tell Sesshoumaru,’ Kagura asked herself, worried of what the Ice’s Prince’s reaction would be. The wind pushing faster than usual, she rushed to the stoic lord’s location.

Kagura’s thoughts were so firmly fixed on reaching the Taiyoukai’s side as soon as possible, that she never caught the fast pace of the tornado that started up directly beneath her.

Deep blue eyes kept track of the giant feather speeding through the night. As the tornado sped up more to keep up with the wind witch, those same eyes flashed very briefly red as their owner sneered up at the sky. “This time bitch, you will die.”

This time on A Night Both Would Remember:

Chapter 4

Enter the Irate Wolf and Sesshoumaru to the Rescue!

The ookami-youkai known as Kouga, leaped up in front of Kagura to catch her by surprise. To say it did the job was an understatement! Kagura halted movement on her feather in an instant and stared at the wolf in shock and with an ounce of fear. He, still in the air, swiped his claws at her, trying to knock her off balance.

She in turn, wringed out wind blades to avoid the blow. She jumped off her feather to land on the ground. She made her face form into a bored look and sighed,” Oh, if it isn’t the wolf-youkai, Kouga. I really don’t have the time for you right now. I’m rather busy so if you don’t mind…”

“Shut the hell up, bitch! I’m going to get my revenge! Today is the day you die for what you did to my pack,” he shouted with rage, jumping at her with his incredible speed thanks to the jewel shards in his legs.

“Have it your way then,” she shouted, flicking her fan back and sending out her attack shouting,” FUUJIN NO MAI!” Kouga used his speed to dodge the blows the wind blades made when they ran into the ground. “If you will leave me be, maybe I shall spare you. I’m in no mood to play today wolf,” she said narrowing her eyes in annoyance.

“You will die today bitch,” he growled out. He ran towards her again and she sighed.

She once again, flicked back her fan and sent out more wind, colliding with another to create mini tornadoes. She shouted out,“ RYUUJA NO MAI!”

Keeping most of his attention on avoiding the tornadoes in his path, he cast a smirk at the bored wind witch. “Did ya really think I would fall for this stupid trick again, wench?”

Unseen by him was her smirk. She gave another move of her fan to wring out more wind blades that sliced through the tornadoes, catching the poor ookami-youkai by surprise.

He saw the first few and dodged most of them, but the damage had already been done. The blades made slices through his sides, causing trickles of crimson to flow out like rivers and make puddles into the ground.

“Damn you,” he growled out, clenching his sides in a grimace.

She only gave him a smirk. “If you weren’t so damn persistent, that would’ve never happened.”

“You bitch,” he seethed, running recklessly towards her with his claws raised. He used a strong burst of speed, determined to kill her off. He successfully succeeded in knocking her only weapon of defense away; her fan. Kagura’s eyes opened wide in horror as he sneered, clutching the offending weaponry.

“Well, without this, you’re nothing but a weak and useless bitch,” he stated, his smirk growing into a cold smile. He would finally get his revenge. He crushed the fan with the hand he was holding it by. Kagura grew angry and panicked at the same time.

“You bastard,” she growled, as she watched the weapon’s crumpled form land degradedly onto the unforgiving ground.

He clutched his fist in front of him and took a step forward, narrowing his eyes at her,” Now you can’t fight back. Much like my brethren that you killed off,” he yelled, running towards her again. She jumped and dodged the attack by a mere inch.

‘Dammit! What am I supposed to do now? Kouga is about to kill me off before I can even talk to Sesshoumaru. Though this is better than getting killed by Naraku,’ Kagura thought sourly. With the next attack, he landed a fist in her side, sending her flying back a few feet, weakening her. She rose to her feet, staring at her opponent defiantly.

“Not so tough are you bitch! Without your fan, all you are is another wannabe. I wish that I could enjoy watching you die some more, but I do have someplace to go, so you can die now!” The wolf charged at her once again, and she tried to dodge again. He instead, stopped and punched into the ground, making a wave of earth travel towards her form. Without her fan, she couldn’t make wind for her to get on her feather fast enough. She knew it was too late to jump from the path, because of its alarming speed. She braced herself for the blow, glaring at Kouga, thinking that she should rather die standing. However, before she could blink, she was out of harm’s way, in the air! She looked up to see who had saved her. It was none other than Sesshoumaru, himself! The stoic lord did not acknowledge that he was carrying her. He swiftly landed and dropped her to the ground.

Kouga turned around quickly to follow the demon that had just spoiled his plans for the wind witch. When he finally faced the demon, he could not help the look of contempt that crossed his face. “Get out of my face dog shit. She owes life debt against my tribe, and I plan on making her pay with her life,” he growled out.

Sesshoumaru showed no hint of anger in the remark Kouga made towards him. He only narrowed his eyes, staring back at the bothersome wolf-youkai. “This Sesshoumaru cares not of your history with this wench. However, you are in my way. I suggest that you leave, wolf or I shall dispose of you myself.”

“I don’t who you think you are bastard, but no one tells me what to do,” Kouga retorted back haughtily, squelching the worry in his mind. He sensed the high power in this youkai, but he didn’t care how strong he was. No one would talk down to him if he could help it!

Sesshoumaru’s eyes narrowed until all that you could see were two slits of glittering gold ice. “This Sesshoumaru has killed others, who have dealt myself, less of an insult. There is only one who dares talk to me that way and lives to see another day. This Sesshoumaru will only give you one more warning. Leave NOW, or pay the price!” Each word that came from the Taiyoukai’s mouth drove Kouga back with the force of a blow. With the very last word, (and just for fun) Sesshoumaru let the control on his form dissolve enough to transform just a little into his true self. The lord’s gold eyes widened and red bled into them. His face stretched into a muzzle, that of a dog’s and he let out a very canine growl. Kouga knew then, to back off.

The wolf threw a glare at Kagura and the current Inu-no-Taishou. “Fine, I’ll go, but know this: I will be back,” Kouga vowed with a snarl in his voice and pure hatred laced in his tone towards the wind witch. With this, the wolf buried his pride and ran off in the opposite direction in whence he came. The mini tornado forming around him as he went, leaving behind the picked up trail of dust. Both demons turned away from the path the wolf went, facing each other. By then, Sesshoumaru’s transformation went back to his usual self. The wind witch said nothing, but instead, walked over to see where her mutilated fan lay.

She bent down, picking up her weapon and inspected it, knowing that it was damaged too much to fix it. She let out a big sigh. ‘Dammit, that baka wolf! Now I’ll have to get another fan,’ she growled in her mind. Her hard expression softened as she reminded herself of the presence behind her. ‘Though, on a better note, Sesshoumaru saved my life. I think I should thank him. However, I wonder what made him save me in the first place? Surely he doesn’t care for me…or does he?’

She turned her body to face his. The Ice Prince glanced at the wind witch with emotion void from his handsome face. She let loose a light smirk and said softly,” Thanks for rescuing me back there. I guess you’re not the bastard I first thought you to be.”

Sesshoumaru snorted softly at her after she had thanked him. He was trying his hardest to keep away from just how much he was affected by that wolf’s threat to kill her. ‘Damn that wolf. If he comes anywhere near her, I will kill him,’ he snarled to himself. Out loud, he just said in that emotionless voice of his, “This Sesshoumaru was only trying to continue with a previous conversation. I wish to know more about Naraku’s plans.” Since no one else was around, he let his mask drop just enough to take away the sting from his words, allowing Kagura to know that he was lying.

She was close to letting out a smile, but held back, not wanting to let the stoic lord know what his expression meant to her. “I did come here to discuss something with you. I was on my way over, when that bastard wolf showed up,” she answered back, but with the mention of Kouga, she growled slightly.

“This Sesshoumaru will not let the wolf near you again. If he tries, he will have to deal with me,” Sesshoumaru told her, letting a little of the anger that he felt, color his words with a deeper meaning. Not even realizing what he said, and at the same time reminding Kagura, just how much alike this cold lord and his little brother could actually be with his impulsive words. “What news do you have for I,” he asked of her a few minutes later when he could once again speak and think clearly.

Her eyes widened a little at the slip of expression he let out. Was that anger he felt towards that wolf? Over what Kouga did to her?! Though, she felt she could trust his words of protection. However, this only made her feel even guiltier about following Naraku’s orders to trick everyone. She didn’t want to see his face when she told him, so she tilted her face away after it darkened.

Her bangs hid her guilt filled, red eyes. “That information I told you. It was all a lie. It was a trap set by Naraku,” she said seriously, with no sarcasm or boldness lacing her tone as it usually would.

Sesshoumaru studied Kagura from behind. Coming to a decision, he walked past her to sit under a nearby tree. Looking up at her, he arched on eyebrow in a silent offer to join him, before he turning his eyes upwards to once again gaze upon the stars. When he felt her sit beside him, careful to keep her face hidden from his all-seeing eyes, he smiled ever so slightly. Oddly enough, this particular smile didn’t foretell someone’s demise as it usually would if it were to grace his features any other time. “I figured out that you were lying. It sounded like you were being watched, and had to make sure you got all the information out, before you slipped up on something.” He told her, keeping his eyes on the stars. He rested his one arm on his knee.

Kagura’s eyes widened in shock. “Y…you knew that whole time?!” She stared at him and as expected, his golden eyes bore back into hers.

Sesshoumaru gave her a short nod, and let a little more warmth creep into his eyes, even though the rest of his face remained blank. “It was obvious, after spending that one night with you. I realized that your actions were being controlled by that vile hanyou, Naraku.” Sesshoumaru gave another short nod when he watched her eyes go extremely cold and hard at the name of her master. This, in his eyes, said more then anything, that she was telling the truth. “If I were to help you, what would you do to gain your freedom,” he asked.

Kagura’s eyes shot open again. So many thoughts raced through her head at once. Though, there was one question she was wanted to know the answer to. “Sesshoumaru, why would you care about my freedom so suddenly?”

Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the tree. He sat there quietly for a few moments before opening his eyes and looking at the woman beside him. “In all honesty, I’m really not sure why I care. I think one of the reasons is that I don't want to waste my time freeing you, and then have you do something that would kill you or worse, trap you again,” he told her, hoping that she would except his explanation at face value.

Her ears didn't miss the hidden insult to her intelligence, but a quick look up into his eyes let her know that he really didn't mean what he said. “Sesshoumaru, I would do anything you ask of me, in order to have my freedom. I have already spent more time then I can afford with you at the moment. I just want to give you one more piece of advice before I leave you here. No matter what, you need to also keep your brother safe. He as well as you, need to survive.” With this very startling speech, Kagura, being exactly who she is, removed the feather from her hair, and as soon as it was large enough to support her, once again left the Taiyoukai alone. The wind witch was going to report to her sister, Kanna, that she informed Sesshoumaru about their plan.

‘Damn wench. Leaving without permission, and just what did she mean about keeping Inuyasha safe,’ Sesshoumaru questioned in his mind. He put his cold mask back on his exterior and walked back to his campsite, going to check up on his group. He was still pondering on Kagura’s statement about his brother.
