Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, Kagura would have kicked Naraku's ass. I don't have any ties with `Casablanca' and Ferrari and don't think I ever will (oh well a girl can always dream…)

 

 

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

 

`It's been several days since I heard from him, wonder why? Maybe he's angry I went to his house or something? Or perhaps it's because of Rin…' Kagura asked herself as she surfed through the TV channels

 

`Aww you miss your puppy!' her inner youkai teased.

 

`No, I'm just curious' Kagura retorted.

 

“So how do I look?” Kagome asked with a huge smile plastered on her face.

 

“Going out with Inuyasha again?” Kagura asked.

 

“If my memory serves right it's been the third, no fourth time this week” Yura said.

 

“Well, we get along great, right Shippou?” Kagome asked as she picked up the stuffed fox Inuyasha won for her at the fair.

 

“Did you really call that poor thing Shippou?” Yura asked.

 

“Yes, so what if I did?!” Kagome retorted.

 

The two girls' bickering was put to a stop as the door bell rung. Kagura got up and answered. But as she opened the door she saw nothing.

 

“Down here wench!” she heard someone croak. She looked down and her ruby red eyes were met with a pair of bulging yellow eyes.

 

“Toad man what do you have for me today?” She asked masking her relief and excitement. Kagura wasted no time and took the four roses and the white envelop. She then turned around but not before she sent a gust of wind that made Jaken fall flat on his behind.

 

“That was for the `wench' comment” she tossed over her shoulder just before she closed the door she heard him say:

 

“Wait there's also this. Master Sesshomarou said it was extremely important.”

 

The imp then got up and ran, more like tripped to his car. For a second Kagura wondered how he could drive despite his small size but pushed the idea aside as she looked down at the third item Jaken had just put in front of her: a basket?!

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“What does the message say again?” Kagome asked.

 

Kagura once more read the small message written by Sesshomarou: `Put it to use. I will pick you up Saturday night at seven o'clock'.

 

“Wow, he is a direct man. But then again coming from a guy who asks you to bear his child at the first date… By the way did you ask you again?” Yura commented.

 

“Not really, he did say he gave me a month of reflection. And it's only been two weeks. I wonder what he has planned for Saturday though.”

 

“Maybe a picnic? Maybe he wants to test your cooking skills or something!” Kagome exclaimed excited to have resolved the mystery.

 

“You think?” Kagura asked incredulous.

 

“I agree with Kagome on this one. It totally makes sense, a basket to put food for your picnic. Oh! He's going to take you somewhere romantic! You'll eat dinner while watching the sun set, or even better the starlit sky” Yura said playing with her small black hair.

 

“For some reason Sessh does not struck me as the kind of guy to sit in the grass and eat cold sandwiches.” Kagura said thoughtful.

 

“Well, then again you have been wrong about the guy before” Kagome remarked as she removed some lint from her purple shirt.

 

“By the way since when did you stop calling him the `spawn of hell' or `arrogant bastard' or what was there also?” Yura teased.

 

“Shut up both of you! Okay fine I'll put together some damn sandwiches. Happy?!” Kagura said as she retreated to her bedroom.

 

Kagome and Yura exchanged a suspicious look as they both smiled looking at their friend's retreating form.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Stop chewing your claws!” Kagome said when she noticed how nervous Kagura was she asked “why are so nervous?”

 

“I'm not nervous!” The wind sorceress snapped.

 

“Sorry you had me fooled” Kagome said with a smile as she resumed reading her magazine.

 

A loud knock was heard at the door, and Kagura picked up the basket before answering the door. She was wearing a short white summer dress with a pair of sandals.

 

She smiled at Sesshomarou and just followed him, not surprised by his lack of greeting. As they stepped on the street walk and walked up to Sesshomarou's car Kagura let out a scream of excitement.

 

“Oh my God is this a Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder!” She screamed as she got nearer. She was almost scared to touch the 1960's extremely expansive vintage car. She just did not want to scratch the impeccable black paint.

 

“How did you know?” Sesshomarou asked surprised and proud.

 

“My brother loves vintage cars, and that's his dream car. Just wait until I tell him I saw one! The look on his face will be priceless!” Kagura said a mischievous light dancing in her eyes.

 

“How about when you will tell him you sat in one?” Sesshomarou asked as he opened the passenger door for her.

 

“What if I tell him I drove one?” Kagura asked on a teasing yet hopeful tone.

 

She knew that Sesshomarou was a control freak and that he would never let her of all people drive him. Besides as much as she wanted to step behind the wheel, she knew that if anything happened to the black convertible it would take her an entire lifetime's work to pay it back, or even a couple of lifetimes.

 

Seeing the suspicious glare Sesshomarou sent her, Kagura added “Don't worry I can drive it's not like I would wreck the car or something”.

 

“If you wreck my car you will just have to help me repair it” Sesshomarou answered with a shrug.

 

“Are you telling me, you're a mechanic?” Kagura asked in disbelief.

 

“When I bought it could barely be called a car, I worked on it for years.” Sesshomarou answered as the two of them sat in the black vintage convertible.

 

`Really? Wow! I didn't take him for the kind of guy to have this kind of patience. And he picked me up in his special car…' Kagura thought before asking “So where are you taking me?”

 

“You'll see wind witch” Sesshomarou answered with a smirk.

 

Kagura rolled her eyes but she did let out a small smile.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“This is…” Kagura trailed off.

 

“A drive-in theater.” Sesshomarou said as he parked the car in one the parking spots.

 

“I've never been at a drive-in theater. I didn't even know there was one in the city. What movie are they playing?”

 

“It is just temporary in the city, in honor of the American Film Festival. They are playing `Casablanca'.” Sesshomarou said.

 

`One of my favorite movies! Hmpf! Who knew he was into romantic movies?' Kagura thought all excited, a bright smile plastered on her face.

 

Casting her a glance out of the corner of his eye, Sesshomarou had a contented smile as he noticed the evident excitement of the wind witch. He had taken a gamble when he decided to take her there, not all women would enjoy this type of date, but he was glad to see that the two of them had common tastes.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Is it really okay to eat in the car?” Kagura asked as she took out the basket full of food.

 

Sesshomarou averted his eyes from the giant screen where a scene between Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman was playing, and looked at Kagura. “Wind witch since when are you this respectful?”

 

“Pfft, and I was trying to be nice, for a change. You seem like quite a neat freak. And just so you know I was respecting the car not you.” She said before biting in a chicken sandwich, minding not to drop any bread crump.

 

Sesshomarou smirked and took out a sandwich from the basket. He then eyed the food carefully.

 

“I made that, you can eat it. I promise you won't die. It's not like I put chocolate in it.” Kagura said with a shrug.

 

“Chocolate?” Sesshomarou repeated arching an eyebrow.

 

“You're a dog demon right? Chocolate is supposed to be bad for dogs, so…” Kagura did not have time to finish as Sesshomarou silenced her with a dark and vicious glare.

 

“What do you take this Sesshomarou for? I am not some commonplace mutt!” he said on a cold tone.

 

“Geez, I was such kidding, where's your sense of humor Sessh?” She took another bite of her sandwich and turned towards the screen once more.

 

“It appears you have enough sense of humor for the both of us” he retorted before taking a bite of his own sandwich.

 

They did not speak another word until the end of the movie.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

As he got ready to start the car and leave, Sesshomarou looked over at Kagura and asked her in a voice laced with amusement “are you crying?”

 

“No” she choked out wiping a tear and sniffling audibly.

 

Sesshomarou almost rolled his eyes at her stubbornness but fished out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.

 

“Had I known the movie would have made you cry, I would have chosen something else”. He said driving away.

 

“No it's not that. Everything was perfect and I always loved this movie. It's just so sad to let the person you love go because you know it's what's best for them.” Kagura said in reference to the movie as she quickly wiping her tears.

 

“I didn't know you were so romantic and poetic” he remarked sarcastically.

 

“Oh shut up!” `Damn I can't believe I cried in front of that jerk. It's that movie, it's the damn movie. It always makes me cry! Fucking airplane scene!' Kagura thought.

 

Aiming to change the subject she asked “so what's next?”

 

“I figured you'd want to go home” Sesshomarou said not looking away from the road.

 

“Well, it's still early…” Kagura trailed off.

 

“Let us go on a ride then” Sesshomarou said. As if to prove his point he stepped on the gas.

 

As the car started to go at an incredible speed, Kagura managed to ask “you do realize you are going well above the speed limit?”

 

“Scared wind witch?” Sesshomarou asked.

 

“Not on your life!” she said with a broad smile.

 

Because of the force of the wind whirling in their faces, he barely heard her answer. But it did not matter; the two of them were having way too much fun. Especially Kagura, living in the city, it's not everyday that she was able to feel a semblance of her element whipping on her face like this, feeling the wind all around her, she felt so alive, that she could not hold back a throaty laugh.

 

`I bet this is what flying feels like! I'd love to be able to fly away just like a bird. Get on a feather and fly! …' The wind sorceress thought.

 

Sesshomarou looked at her out of the corner of his eye and smiled.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

If someone asked, Kagura would not be able to say how long their ride was, but what she would be able to say was that it had not been long enough. She opened her eyes when she felt the car come to a sudden stop. And realized with disappointment that they were parked in front of her apartment building.

 

With a smile still on her lips, Kagura stretched and opened her eyes. Her ruby red eyes met Sesshomarou's eyes. The usually bored expression was gone from his face. He did not look happy, nor was he smiling, but at least he looked content.

 

“Did you have fun” he finally asked after the two of them stared at each other for the longest time.

 

She simply nodded, the action caused the strands of hair that had come loose from her usual ponytail to fall messily around her face.

 

`She looks so beautiful.' Sesshomarou thought as he took in her beautiful smile, sparkling ruby red mesmerizing eyes, flushed cheeks, and what surprised him he most her long black hair that was now free of the usual confinements of her constricting ponytails or buns.

 

`Why is he looking at me like that?' Kagura wondered knitting her brows.

 

Her question was soon answered, as Sesshomarou suddenly crashed his lips against hers. At first Kagura froze, unsure of what to do. But soon she decided to just give into the feel of his warm lips working over hers.

 

After a long time, the dog demon gently ran his tongue over her bottom lip, which caused the wind sorceress to open her mouth. As their tongues entwined and fought for dominance, Sesshomarou gently caressed her cheek with his right hand and ended up cupping her face with his two hands as Kagura's hands caressed his long silver mane.

 

When they finally pulled apart for much needed air, he did his best not to smirk at the dazed expression planted on Kagura's face. He gently traced small circles on her cheek with his thumb as he spoke:

 

“Rin has the lead role in a school play. She would like you to come. It is tomorrow at four.”

 

“I'd love to go” Kagura breathed out without thinking.

 

“Good, we'll come and pick you up around three” Sesshomarou said before planting another sweet kiss on her lips. Not satisfied with the small peck, Kagura deepened the kiss and quickly their two tongues intertwined again.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

As soon as she closed the door of her bedroom behind her, Kagura jumped on the bed and pounded her fists on the mattress.

 

`No! No! No! Stupid me what am I doing! It's the movie and the car. Crap everything was so romantic. Damn it, we kissed. No, I can't afford to fall for him.'

 

`I think it's a little too late.' The voice of her inner demon remarked.

 

`Well that's too bad, because in two weeks I'm supposed to tell him I can't go through with the proposal. Then what?!'

 

`If you have not noticed he stopped talking about it. Maybe it does not matter anymore? Maybe you should ask him about it…'

 

`Or maybe not, that would be a sure way to bring out the topic and I don't want to talk about it!'

 

The wind sorceress then sighed and got up to get ready for bed.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

`You pretend not to care about her, but tell me, why did you kiss the witch?' Sesshomarou's inner demon asked.

 

`I simply did it because it pleased me to do so. I am not one to refuse myself what I want' Sesshomarou thought smugly while changing into his pajamas.

 

`So you admit you want her?'

 

`She is a beautiful woman, and that is not the question since I shall have her in a few days. Then she will bear my child.'

 

`You're still on about that? If you only wanted her for the proposal's sake you would not have allowed her to come this close to Rin…' his inner demon could not help but remark.

 

`Why did I do that for? I can't let Rin get too close to Kagura! It would be unfair to her since Kagura will be out of our lives in a year or so'. Sesshomarou thought as he finally laid on his king size bed.

 

`She doesn't have to. You could just forget about the damned proposal and simply date her. You have to admit that the time you spend together is nice.Being with her amuses you, and not only because she is useful in repelling unwanted attention' His inner demon said.

 

`This Sesshomarou has no need nor does he want a wench by his side. She will bear my child, I will pay her and we'll leave it to that. It is anyway the only alternative I have. '

 

`Well you could always explain everything to Kagura…And about the proposal, I don't think it's what SHE meant, I'm just saying you got it all wrong….'

 

Sesshomarou pondered on these last words as he drifted into a dreamless sleep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: I asked a guy friend of mine what was a cool and very expansive vintage convertible, and he answered a Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. I don't even know what the car really looks like, yeah sorry I'm really not into cars at all.

 

I was watching the movie 'Casablanca' last time and decided it would make a nice date movie. Anyway next time will be family time! The chapter will be named Fairies.
