“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

“Oh Sesshomarou you made it…. And with a date” A beautiful fair skinned purple haired and cerulean eyed dog demoness said as soon as she spotted Sesshomarou and Kagura coming inside the Shikon hotel's formal dinning room.

 

“Kagura Kagewaki, this is Sada Sakai a long time friend of mine” Sesshomarou introduced the two women.

 

“Just long time friend?” The woman he had just identified as being named Sada said with a chuckle.

 

Before Sesshomarou had a chance to answer something, a loud and slightly hoarse voice said “Figures, I wondered what was holding you up”.

 

“Oh Kagura, let me introduce to you my wonderful fiancé. Honey this is Kagura Sesshomarou's date. And this Miss Kagewaki is my future husband Hiten Thunder” The female dog demon said as she hooked her arm under her fiancé's arm.

 

“It's been a long time Sesshomarou, nice to meet you Kagura” the newly arrived thunder demon said as he flicked his long black braid behind his back. Sesshomarou simply nodded back as a greeting and Kagura uttered a faint `hello'. The wind sorceress did not know why but she felt as if there suddenly was a lot of tension among the other three demons around her.

 

“Let us move to the dinning room, people are already sitting down” Sada said as she turned around.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

As much as she tried Kagura could not ignore the glances Sada kept giving Sesshomarou. The fact that the dog demon seemed oblivious to the demoness' attention did not calm Kagura one bit. The wind witch kept telling herself that she should not care, but she could not refrain herself.

 

`Well, Sessh and I are supposed to be together and the woman is getting married for God's sake!' She tried to reason her jealousy.

 

Taking a large mouthful of her grilled salmon the wind sorceress sent a death glare at Sada who once again was ogling her date. The dog demoness had at least the decency to quickly avert her gaze before turning to murmur something at her fiancé's ear. Hiten's billowing laugh resonated throughout the dinning room and many of the dozen guests laughed with their host.

 

Kagura was not one bit amused, she turned to look at Sesshomarou who was sitting on her left and noticed that she at least was not the only one bored out of her mind. Or maybe it was just that his usual mask was still in place, but on the other hand the kaze youkai was fairly sure that she was now almost able to see through his mask and that he was definitely as bored as her.

 

She did wonder however why Sesshomarou had been so adamant on coming to the dinner party. But then again, she was no idiot and had guessed that something had happened between Sesshomarou and Sada, but what exactly she wondered. Therefore she simply inferred that Sesshomarou simply did not want to come alone to the dinner.

 

Letting out another soft sigh, Kagura looked at their hosts and noticed that yet again Sada's eyes were locked on Sesshomarou. Kagura could not help but ask herself if Hiten was aware that his soon to be bride was still in love with Sesshomarou. Kagura could just tell by the way the woman was looking at him. Even if the dog demoness had not given her a good impression, Kagura could not help but feel sorry for her. For one, the poor woman had fallen in love with the jerk that was Sesshomarou Tashio and secondly Kagura could relate to her pain, as she herself was all too familiar with the horrible pain of heartbreak.

 

`Of all the times I had to think of Naraku now' Kagura thought bitterly.

 

As soon as the dishes were cleared, Kagura quickly excused herself and went to the bathroom. After all it just would not do if Sesshomarou was to see her cry…

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Wiping away a stray tear, Kagura was just about to get out of the bathroom stool and make sure her make up was okay when she heard what she assumed were several women enter the bathroom. Her hand was already on the lock, ready to open it when she halted her movement as she heard one of the women speak:

 

“So Sada you're verdict on Sesshomarou's date?”

 

“Not bad, if she was standing on a street corner. Did you see the cleavage of her dress?” As Sada's answer the other two started laughing.

 

“And did you see she ate her whole food. And she even took a dessert!” One of Sada's accomplice exclaimed outraged.

 

“Well, that's one way to explain the size of her backside…” The second one said with a chuckle.

 

“No, seriously why do you think a man such as him brought that along with him? She clearly is not one of us”

 

“Well, it's obvious Sesshomarou picked up the first woman he could find. By the way they behave you can tell that the two of them barely know each other. It does make sense after all. I mean he would be too proud to come here alone. He just would not want me to think that he did not get over me…” Sada said.

 

At this point Kagura had stopped listening. She was so angry that she had clenched her fists and cursed the fact that she had for once not bring her fan along with her.

 

`Why those bitches, I ought to…! Who do they think they are? Just because they have money they think they're better than me! Ha! To think that I felt bad for Sada!' Kagura thought gritting her teeth.

 

`So what are you going to do?' Her inner demon asked, as angry as Kagura was.

 

The wind sorceress did not bother answering as she opened the door with a loud bang that made the three women jolt. She held her head high as a proud queen and walked over to the sink with a smirk.

 

“Good evening ladies” Kagura said as she fished out her trademark red lipstick from her purse and applied it taking great care looking with satisfaction at her reflection in the mirror.

 

Sada's two accomplices who Kagura now identified as two other dog demoness whose name for the life of her she could not remember, looked at her in horror and fled as fast as their youkai legs and high heels could allow them.

 

“I take it you heard?” Sada asked, not wanting to cower in front of Kagura.

 

“Of course I did “she answered finishing powdering her nose and turning towards Sesshomarou's ex.

 

“And you do not have anything to answer?” Sada asked void of any embarrassment at being caught.

 

“Nope, my relationship with Sesshomarou is none of your concern But I can tell you that we are very happy together. By the way I rather like my physical appearance. Oh and Sessh does too…a lot” Kagura said with a mischievous smirk.

 

“Please, spare me the sexual innuendo.” Sada then took a long pause before adding “So why are you with Sesshomarou? You can't possibly tell me it's for love. Let me guess, my previous assessment was not too far fetched, it's the money that attracts you. ” Sada snorted in disgust and shook her head before adding “How could you accept such an abomination? In my eyes no amount of money could ever make up for it. The moment he tried to impose it on me I revolted, that actually is the reason why we broke apart. I mean I am just curious after all you are youkai too. Where is your pride?”

 

`What is she talking about? Could it be that Sesshomarou made the proposal to her too? Is that why they broke up?' Kagura wondered furrowing her brows.

 

“As I said before what goes on between him and me is none of your damned business. The two of us have a great relationship, so I would appreciate if you stopped ogling my boyfriend like a starving puppy looks at a bone. Well that's all I had to say”. Without another word Kagura walked out of the bathroom.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Spotting Sesshomarou's silver hair among a small crowd was really not difficult, and in just a short while Kagura was by his side. Casting a glance behind her, the wind sorceress noticed that Sada had followed her and was now slowly coming towards them, stopping here and there to thank some of the guests for coming.

 

“Sorry it took me so long love.” Kagura said with sparkling eyes as she hooked her right arm under Sesshomarou's left arm.

 

It took a few seconds for the dog demon to realize what she had just said. But when it sunk in all he could do was raise an eyebrow in shock. She was acting so differently than the woman he had to literally drag with him. Smirking inwardly and knowing that he would probably have hell to pay for this, Sesshomarou removed his arm from Kagura's hold and gently encircled her waist and pressed her body against his.

 

“Do not worry about it, Hiten and I were having an interesting discussion” Sesshomarou assured her as he started to gently caress her sides with his hand.

 

`Oi that pervert of course he had to try to take advantage of the situation! Is he related to Miroku?' Kagura thought outraged. Just as she was about to break away from Sesshomarou she noticed that Sada had almost reached them.

 

“Oh really? And tell me honey what were you discussing?” Kagura asked on a voice so syrupy that it hurt her. She could only hope that the others would not be able to see through her façade.

 

“This will have to wait for later on, it seems that Sada is arguing with my brother again” Hiten said with a sigh as he walked away from the `happy couple'. Sure enough as she turned around Kagura noticed that Sada was with a…she was not sure what but looked like some type of deformed youkai. Shrugging Kagura quickly but gently pushed Sesshomarou away just as another couple started talking to them.

 

`Gods it's going to be along night!' The wind sorceress thought in despair.

 

Sure enough for the rest of the evening Sesshomarou and Kagura had to pretend being a gushy, absolutely in love couple. Kagura of course did most of the pretending, and especially every time Sada was close to them. But just as she was about sure she would not be able to take any more of this, Kagura discovered that a drink, or three, or five helped her loosen up and keep on the act.

 

She was starting to have fun, just as one of the guest who Kagura recognized being one of Sada's two accomplices asked Sesshomarou

 

“So tell us where did the two of you meet?”

 

Sesshomarou was about to answer, when he was interrupted by a little tipsy Kagura “At his office at the bank. Believe or not it was love at first sight. Something like no other, an instant connection right then and there. We even went on our first date the same day. He doesn't look much like it but my Sesshomarou is very romantic he sends me flowers almost everyday, don't you love?”

 

Said `love' in question was busy trying not to dissolve in laughter. For some reason that was not really how he recalled their first meeting, but who was he to correct her? And anyway Sesshomarou was having way too much fun. How he was going to enjoy rubbing this glorious evening in Kagura's face later on. Sesshomarou did make a mental note to congratulate Kagura on her acting skills.

 

As he noticed Kagura discreetly stifling a yawn, Sesshomarou looked at his wrist watch and noticing how late it was, the dog demon said “I am sorry but Kagura and I will have to take out leave now. We are both working early tomorrow”.

 

“Oh really what a pity! I hope to see you again Miss Kagewaki. I will be sure to send you an invitation to the wedding.” Sada said secretly rejoicing that they would finally leave.

 

After a quick hand shake and congratulations Sesshomarou and Kagura left the hotel.

 

“Bah, I'm sure Sesshomarou will bring her along just send him an invite” Hiten corrected.

 

“Who knows if they'll still be together at the time” Sada said filled with jealousy.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Wind witch what exactly got into you? Is it Sada?” Sesshomarou questioned as soon as Suikotsu closed the limousine's door behind them.

 

“Hum, let's just say we had a `friendly' encounter in the ladies' room. It was very entertaining” Kagura said as she fell back against the seat and closed her eyes.

 

“And what did you discuss?” Sesshomarou asked as calmly as possible, he could tell that Kagura was about to fall asleep but he wanted an answer. He could only hope that Sada had not told Kagura too much.

 

“Me, of course but also the two of you. She told me why you broke up” Kagura said fighting to remain awake, but the seat was so comfortable and appealing…

 

“Whatever she told you is a lie. The only reason I left her is that she lacked motherly instinct and an open mind” Sesshomarou said on a final tone.

 

Kagura could tell he did not want to elaborate on the subject but she wanted answers too. “Is this about the pro…” she started.

 

“No more questions” he interrupted her. Kagura could see that he was back to his old domineering ways, but this time she decided to let him get away with it. After all she was exhausted and the limousine's leather seat was just so inviting…

 

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: So how was the chapter? Liked it? Tell me what you thought. Next time there will be some double dating. I take it you can guess what are the two couples! Accordingly the chapter will be named Double date.
