Chapter 11

Kagura’s Return - A Night Both Would Enjoy

Kagura’s mind was still in shock, she had no idea what to think. Who knew that a simple kiss on the cheek from a human child could tear down the wills of her icy heart so quickly? Well that and a bunch of flowers, which she would have to hide before someone else saw...

‘That miko works wonders. I would never have guessed that she would be able to convince that child to look at me, let alone touch me of her own free will!’ she thought to herself in astonishment.

Shortly after leaving the mixed group belonging to the Inu Brothers, Kagura was summoned into her lord’s presence by the Saimyoushou. She was not looking forward to this meeting, especially since she did not know if “Mini-me” would be there. Kagura traveled as slow as she dared, taking in for once, the beautiful scenery beneath her. When she felt the familiar pull of her sister coming from slightly north of where she was heading, she obeyed the call. Kagura directed her feather towards her sibling and a short time later, landed in front of Kanna. To her dismay she also found herself face to face with Hakudoushi.

“Hakudoushi,” Kagura sneered,“ to what do I owe the displeasure of your company? I assume that you didn’t have enough fun playing with the wolf, but did you have to come and torment me also?”

“Kagura, I assure you that the displeasure is all mine. Imagine my surprise to find both of you in league to destroy our creator. What should I do?” Hakudoushi smirked at his sisters.

“Tell us what you want. I don’t have time to deal with you at the moment. Our lord and master has called and if we don’t obey, you won’t have to worry about us any longer,” Kagura snapped. And she was having such a good day too.

“Don’t worry Kagura. I’ll keep your secrets at the moment. In fact, I’ll even cover you for the night.”

“And just what the hell would tempt you to do that?” Kagura demanded, her red eyes narrowing at him in suspicion.

“I have my reasons. You’ll find out soon enough. Don’t go to Naraku tonight.” Before Kagura could say anything else, Hakudoushi disappeared.

Instead of trying to go after him, she turned to Kanna. “Can we trust him with this?” the Wind Witch asked.

“For now,” Kanna’s emotionless voice answered. “We have no choice. Go and let the others know about this.” And with that, Kanna also faded from view.

******With the Inu-Tachi and Sesshoumaru-Tachi******

Kagome watched the cloud of dust fade away in the distance. She believed that Kouga was moving at his fastest yet, by the way the feeling of the shards were fading. Heaving a sigh, she turned and faced her friends. To her surprise, they all had looks of shocked amazement on their faces.

“What are you staring at me for?! It‘s starting to creep me out!” she exclaimed..

“Kagome-chan, are you ok?” Sango asked.

“How did you get Sesshoumaru-sama to return to normal?” Miroku asked at the same time.

“Keh! Baka wench. He could have killed you, ya know! What the hell made you do something that stupid?” Inuyasha demanded.

Before Inuyasha could make anymore comments, Kagome decided to cut him off. “OSUWARI!” WHAM! The hanyou struck earth with a yelp. Slightly breathing a sigh of relief, she began. “Now I will answer your questions. I’m fine. How I turned Sesshoumaru back was simple: I reminded him of Rin-chan. And as for him killing me, I was in no more danger from him, then I was from Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha jumped back up immediately after the spell wore off, glaring at the miko with a fury. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?” he demanded in anger.

She threw her glare back at him. “Inuyasha this is hardly the time! You know exactly what I mean!”

“That’s assuming he knows how to use his brain,” Sesshoumaru mumbled under his breath. Luckily the hanyou didn’t hear that remark because there would’ve probably been another fight between the two.

“If I did, I wouldn’t be asking you this question now would I?” Inuyasha threw back, raising his voice to match hers.

“Inuyasha…” she growled out, making the hanyou flinch.

Sighing, Miroku decided to step in as peace maker, as it was his usual job in the group. “Kagome-sama, perhaps this isn’t the best of times…” he reprimanded.

Before Kagome could turn on the monk, or Sango could slap him for that matter, Sesshoumaru decided to take matters into his own hands. “Silence!” He demanded of everyone. “I really don’t want to hear your childish temper tantrums.” Turning, he glared at Kagome. “Miko. Explain yourself!” he snapped at her.

Kagome refused to feel intimidated by Sesshoumaru. “You claimed us as your pack. From what I understand, as long as we are your pack and under your protection, you will not hurt us. Even when you give into your youkai!” Kagome softened her tone. “I just wanted to thank you for helping me with your brother and for what you said to Kouga.”

“Miko, This Sesshoumaru, was only doing what I promised I would do. Nothing more.” Sesshoumaru stared at the miko for a moment, and then handed Tenseiga back over to her. “I will be leaving for awhile. Please take care of Rin for me.”

Kagome gingerly took the sword back,“ Of course. We will all look after her.”

Sesshoumaru started to gather his youki around him only to have it scattered by a wind blade. Seconds after the blade hit, Kagura landed in front of him.

“Hakudoushi knows,” she stated, not even bothering with a greeting.

“WHAT?!” came from all around the clearing. Of course the only person who did not show any reaction was Sesshoumaru.

“What does he know, and how did he find out?” was all that he asked.

Kagura smirked. “He knows everything... and he found out from both you and me.” Sesshoumaru had to force back a growl of annoyance. Instead of giving into the satisfaction, he turned and started to gather his youki again. This time though, he was stopped by the miko.

“Sesshoumaru would you like Tenseiga? It’s only fair, since Inuyasha doesn’t dare let Tessaiga leave his side again,” Kagome questioned softly.

“No. If there is trouble, Tenseiga will call me back. Do not let it go.” Before she could protest, he was gone with Kagura right behind him on her feather.

******With Sesshoumaru and Kagura******

The two took to a desolate place in the forest to begin their conversation. After the two landed, Kagura gave him a wide smirk. “So Sesshoumaru…what happened back there? The look on your face was quite a sight to enjoy.” She pulled out her fan and tapped it to her chin to make emphasis.

“That miko, did the same thing for me as she does for my brother,” he replied, not really noticing how that would sound to her ears.

The Wind Witch’s eyes widened as she held in a gasp. “And what the hell would that be implying? As far as I’m concerned, I don’t want to know what she does with your brother when I’m not around…” she said, narrowing her eyes in disgust, mentally shuddering.

Sesshoumaru stared at Kagura in shock. His usual calm mask completely gone. As his mind processed what the wind witch said, his youki was already reacting. A deep growl sounded through the clearing, as his eyes tinted slightly red and fixated onto her. “The Miko, is still innocent. Do NOT insult her again,” he managed to force out.

Forcing himself to calm down, he took a few steps back from Kagura. “This Sesshoumaru meant that she calmed both my brother and myself down from the bloodlust before you arrived.”

Pushing down her fear, she only retaliated with the thing she did best. Sarcasm. Rolling her eyes, she responded,” Well sorry Sesshoumaru-sama, but what the hell was I supposed to think when you first told me that? You could’ve just said that in your first explanation and I would‘ve probably understood what you were trying to say. You should know by now that inferior creatures such as myself don’t think the way you do.” She finished this tirade with a small smirk of triumph, hoping she wouldn‘t get killed for it in the process.

With the beast so close to the surface from earlier that day, Sesshoumaru was not sure how long he would be able to keep control. ‘How dare she think that I would let a human touch me like that?’ he started mentally, only to stomp it down again,’ But I did let a human touch me; I claimed a human as pack.’ As his logical side started to realize that he had just claimed his brother’s pack as his own, his beast side started to take over.

Gliding towards Kagura, his eyes started to darken even more, when she noticed it was toolate. Using Mokomoko-sama, Sesshoumaru drew Kagura closer to him. A wicked grin was the last thing she saw before his lips claimed hers in a kiss; A kiss that slowly shut down both of their mental functions for awhile. Out of surprise, the Wind Witch dropped her fan to the ground, but she didn’t even care that she did.

Kagura was first stiff from the surprise of Sesshoumaru’s lips crashing upon hers, but she quickly began to softly return the gesture. She couldn’t think straight, so she only reacted.

However, after a few moments, she began to regain her bearings and gently pushed him back. She looked at him with a calm expression, yet kept her smirk lightly in place. “As much as I liked that, I wouldn’t want your youkai side to take complete control over your actions. We might regret that.”

Sesshoumaru knowing that she was right, moved away. His youkai didn’t want to, but he forced the beast back down so that he had complete control. “You are correct. We just might.” Sighing, he ran his only clawed hand through his hair. Before turning back to Kagura, he continued.. “I do however, want to reserve the right to claim you at another time,” he growled.

The Taiyoukai turned to see Kagura’s face of absolute shock. Her eyes were practically bulging out of her head and her cheeks either slightly burning red from embarrassment and/or anger. He couldn’t decide which. “Y--ou m--mean…” she trailed off, unable to complete the sentence because she was still in a state of astonishment.

Knowing what she was trying to say, Sesshoumaru took a few steps forward and gently ran a claw over her check. “Yes. But it will have to wait until after Naraku is dead. Just don’t let yourself be hurt. I’m not sure if I will be able to control myself if anything should happen to you.”

“S…sesshoumaru,” she gasped. A genuine smile broke out on her face at his words. Leaning forward slightly, she tilted her face up to meet her lips with his in a gentle, but firm kiss. Her eyelids fluttered shut at the contact.

Sesshoumaru allowed himself one more moment to enjoy having Kagura leaning up against him with Mokomoko-sama helping to hold her close. The taste of her on his lips was enough to keep a smile in place as he drew away from her. “As much as I would like to continue holding you, we do have company.” Turning her around, he pointed out where the Kirara in her kitten form sat waiting for them. “I do believe that Rin is looking for me. Are you going to join us again, or do you need to return?”

Placing another smile on her face, she replied,” If you don’t mind, I would like to stay for tonight.”

After letting Kagura pick up her fan, Sesshoumaru then, pulled her against his chest and wrapped Mokomoko-sama around both of them. A soft growl, almost a purr, rumbled softly from him, as he once again allowed his youki to carry them back to the others. Kagura, in turn, snuggled closer to his chest in contentment. She was one step closer to a family that at one time, could only dream of.
