InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Indecent proposal ❯ Preparations and explanations ( Chapter 16 )

Chapter16: Preparations and explanations

 

A/N: Rejoice I'm posting early so as to have time to write the next one-shot, I just had a great idea for how Naraku could torture Sessh and Kagura some more…evil, too evil I tell you! Thank you so much for reviewing:

 

On FanFic.net

 

Yazoo IS Superior (sorry you didn't get your personalized answer to your review. But the system was down and I couldn't reply. I think that Sesshy would be a pretty rigid and strict dad. But I doubt his discipline would work on cute free spirited Rin. One puppy eyes look and she would bring him to his knees lol…)

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

“Kagura I know you're hiding something from us” Yura said as she peered into her friend's gaze from over the table.

 

“No I'm not” she retorted shifting her red eyes to the many customers in the coffee shop. Strangely the small place was over crowded for a Monday morning.

 

“You can't lie to us, because every time you do the wind turns cold. And right now I'll say it's about freezing in here” Kagome said with a smile.

 

“Come on out with it!” Yura urged.

 

“Okay fine, you were right! The two of you were fucking right. Happy now?!” The wind sorceress then mercilessly bit into her chocolate croissant.

 

“Right about what?” Yura asked.

 

“I knew it! You're falling in love with Sesshomarou Tashio that's it, right?” Kagome exclaimed, glad to have solved the mystery. But when she saw the miserable look on Kagura's face she quickly “Kagura, don't worry it's going to be okay. Everything will work out in time”.

 

“No it won't and you know it! I was supposed to use him. To make him pay for the way he treated me when we met. But now it's different I saw this whole new side of him. He's actually really sweet and thoughtful and a great kisser with great skillful hands. He's perfect!” She said burying her face in her hands.

 

“Yeah except for the fact that he doesn't have a sense of humor, the rudeness, the unhealthy lack of facial expression…” Yura enumerated trying to make her friend feel better.

 

“Not to mention the proposal. What are you going to do? I mean you can't seriously be thinking about getting pregnant with his child and taking the million dollars. That's why I said that dating him would be a bad idea, I know you Kagura you always fall in love with the worse guys” Kagome said.

 

“I know, you'd think this useless organ that is my heart would have learned its lesson with Naraku? But NO! I wish someone would just cut my heart out and store it in a jar or something, so as to protect me from it…” Kagura said.

 

Her two friends looked at her stunned. A few months ago, the mere mention of Naraku's name could send Kagura in a depression that would end with her passing out in a pile of used tissues, chocolate bars wrapper and empty lids of chocolate fudge ice cream.

 

Yura and Kagome looked at each other with a mix of surprise and happiness on their faces. On the one hand, Kagura was finally getting over Naraku. But on the other hand she was in an even more complicated mess with Sesshomarou.

 

“Oh shit I'm going to be late at the school. Sorry but I've got to run girls” Kagura said gulping down the rest of her coffee.

 

“Don't forget, tomorrow we're getting ready at Yura's place” Kagome said.

 

“I still don't understand why” Kagura remarked for at least the fifth time.

 

“Because the two of you are going to the opera with your silver haired prince charming and will be in desperate need of someone able to do something with those black things on your head that you call hair. And I sure as hell am not moving all my stuff over to your apartment. No more objections? I thought so.” Yura then also got up and the three of them went out of the coffee shop.

 

Unbeknownst to them a pair of pointy ears had listened to their entire conversation. The demoness played with one of the silver hoops adorning her pointy ears and smiled broadly as she realized the amount of information she was sitting on, she thought to herself `interesting, very interesting indeed'.

“You know Kagura, you can always ride with us” Inuyasha said as he leaned against a wall in the doorway of Yura and Byakuya's apartment.

 

“I think she would rather ride with your brother” Kagome said picking up her purse.

 

“Are you sure he didn't forget he was supposed to pick you up at my place?” Yura asked still putting away the many appliances she used to make the intricate hair styles adorning Kagura and Kagome's heads.

 

“No, I left a clear message to…Touran” and then it hit her `I bet the jealous bitch did not pass on the message on purpose! Damn that means he must be waiting at my place!'

 

“Don't worry guys, just get going.” Kagura said to Inuyasha and Kagome masking her irritation.

 

“Okay, see you there. And Yura I'll call you first thing tomorrow” Kagome waved before leaving. Inuyasha simply nodded and went out after her.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

As he stepped out of the limo, Sesshomarou was careful not to dirty the expansive black tuxedo he was wearing. He straightened his red bow tie and went up the stairs to knock on Kagura's door.

 

At his surprise it was another red eyed and black haired youkai who opened the door. It took him a second to recognize the man, it was none other then Kagura's older brother Byakuya.

 

“You're Kagura's boyfriend what are you doing here?” he asked not inviting Sesshomarou to step inside.

 

Sesshomarou wanted to ask him the same question, but simply said “We are going out tonight”.

 

“I know that, Kagura and Kagome threw me out of my own home so that Yura could help them prepare themselves for their `Opera dates'. What I meant is what are you doing here? Kagu left you a message to say you had to pick her up at my place.” Byakuyta said a scowl still present on his face.

 

“I see” Sesshomarou said before turning around ready to walk back to his car. `How come I did not get her message?'

 

“Hey wait. I'll call her and tell her to come here. Besides I think it's about time you and I have a little chat” Byakuya said as he opened the front door of the girls' apartment wide.

 

Sesshomarou sighed in annoyance but entered the apartment none the less.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Kagu, Byakuya just sent me a text. He said that your prince charming is at your place and that the two of them are chatting. If I were you I'd hurry and get my ass over there” Yura said.

 

“Damn it you've got to be fucking kidding me!” Kagura said as she dashed out of her brother's place.

 

`The last time Byakuya had a talk with one of my boyfriends, the two of them ended up in the hospital. And knowing how him and Sesshomarou are both stubborn as hell who knows what might happen?!'

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“So what exactly are your intentions with my little sister” Byakuya asked as he looked straight in Sesshomarou's amber eyes.

 

For a split second the dog demon envisaged to answer truthfully and say `get her pregnant with my pup as soon as possible' but even if the look of astonishment would have been fun to see on Byakuya's face, Sesshomarou simply said “it is none of your concern”.

 

“The hell it's not. You see she might look tough, but Kagura is a very fragile girl. She has been hurt way worse then you could ever imagine”.

 

Byakuya almost bit his tongue, if Kagura ever found out he had just said that to Sesshomarou, there would be hell to pay. But seeing Sesshomarou's unchanged facial expression, his big brother's want to protect his sister from anything took over.

 

“I can tell things are pretty serious between the two of you. I just have to look at how her face lightens up when she mentions you.” Byakuya then sighed before continuing. “She'll probably kill me for telling you this, but almost a year ago the woman who raised us…”

 

“Kaede” Sesshomarou interrupted eager to finish this conversation, even if they had enough time to get to the opera, but Sesshomarou would have liked to get there in advance.

 

“She talked to you about her?” Byakuya asked deeply surprised. Seeing Sesshomarou nod once, the red eyed wind demon added “her death shook all three of us. But Kanna and I we were old enough when our parents died, so we still had memories of them and stuff but not Kagura, so to her Grandma Kaede was everything.

After her death Kagura was really fragile, and she ended up getting engaged to her bastard of a boyfriend Naraku. I really never liked the guy, a creepy spider hanyou.”

 

To Sesshomarou's annoyance Byakuya stayed silent for a few seconds as if he was remembering something important. He then shook his head and continued “three days before their wedding, our oldest sister Kanna confessed to Kagura that she had been having an affair with Naraku and that she was pregnant with his child. Of course Naraku denied, but none the less the wedding was called off. This really crushed Kagu, you know after losing Grandma Kaede she lost her sister and her fiancé…”

 

Sesshomarou was stunned, how a man could do something as despicable as this was beyond him. And then this Naraku did not even want to take responsibility for his mischief.

 

“I fail to see how this has anything to do with this Sesshomarou.”

 

Byakuya let out a grin which revealed a pair of sharp and small fangs “you see, the only reason why Naraku is still walking today is because he had gotten Kanna pregnant and needed to take responsibility for his actions. Besides for some reason she loves him. If it weren't for that I would have killed him with my two own hands. I am the only male in our family and I would do anything to protect my sisters, I am sure this is a feeling you must understand.

 

“Are you threatening this Sesshomarou?” he asked on an even tone even if he was fuming inside.

 

“No, it's just an advice. I can see you and your brother are decent guys. I'm pretty sure you would not want to hurt Kagura, right?”

 

“Of course not” Sesshomarou said forcing himself to calm down, he was sure Kagura would never forgive him if any harm was ever to come to her brother. But the idea of trying out his claws on Byakuya's skin was very appealing…

 

“Good glad that this is out of the way…Now, Kagu told me you like vintage cars? Me too, did you hear about the exposition that's going to be in town next month? I can't wait!” Byakuya said on a cheerful tone.

 

Sesshomarou almost smiled, he was among the first people to have bought a special pass which would allow him to see the exposition one day before it was opened to the general public.

 

`Maybe talking with her brother will not be that dreadful…' he thought.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

As soon as Kagura parked her car, she went to the front of her building. She cursed loudly when she noticed Sesshomarou's black limo. She went over to the car and was surprised when the driver's window came down and Suikotsu spoke:

 

“Mr Tashio has been inside for at least twenty minutes. Hell I even thought you were in there with him” the young man said with a smile.

 

“Thanks” Kagura shot as she went up the stairs as fast as her long deep red evening gown and high heels allowed it.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

She struggled with her keys but managed to open her front door, and was shocked by the sight in front of her:

 

The two demons were sitting in front of each other and contrary to her expectations; they were not strangling each other but talking with animation.

 

“I'm so sorry I'm late Sessh” she said as she walked up next to them.

 

“It's fine” he answered with a dismissive hand gesture barely looking at her.

 

Kagura was at a loss for words `Mr be there on time or else' did not flinch or even comment on her tardiness!

 

“Yeah we had a great time waiting for you! Man Kagu that guy is a keeper! Hell he's my new best friend. Listen to this, he's going to get me an early all access pass to the vintage auto show that's gonna be in town soon!” Byakuya said as he got to his feet. He then kissed his little sister's cheek and shook Sesshomarou's hand before going out the door.

 

“Did you just bribe my brother into liking you?” Kagura asked incredulous that Sesshomarou actually shook someone's hand. She then added “he never liked any of the guys I dated before”.

 

“Wind witch didn't this Sesshomarou tell you before, I am not `any guy'” he said with a shrug.

 

She laughed whole heartedly as they stepped into his black limo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: So how was it? Leave me a review. I just hope that by then FF.net will solve their technical problem. Next time Kagura and Sesshomarou will have a run in with her past, how will it end? Don't miss the next chapter named Phantom at the Opera.
