“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

`Time to have some fun' Kagura thought before picking up the phone.

 

“Hello this is Jacques” a male voice answered after a few rings.

 

“So you go by Jacques, now hum?” It has been a long time, tell me did you miss me? Kagura asked sarcastically with a small smile.

 

There was a small pause on the other end of the line before the male voice said “Such dry humor, such sarcasm. Tell me you wouldn't happen to be the enigmatic and equally tempting and beautiful wind sorceress Kagura Kagewaki, would you?”

 

“What if I am?” Kagura asked back nonchalantly.

 

After answering this, the wind sorceress had to quickly move away the phone from her ear as the man on the other end of the phone started to squeal loudly and in a very high pitched voiced in pure delight.

 

“Oh mon Dieu! (Oh my God) Kagura it's you. Oh it's really you. Tell me why are you calling? No that I mind but it's just been so long!”

 

“Well I was in the neighborhood so I figured why not call up an old friend?” she said on a careless tone.

 

“You're back in town?! Just tell me when and where and I'll come pick you up, we have so much catching up to do!”

 

“What about right now? And the `Grand Ferdinand Hotel' Suite number 333?”

 

“Grand Ferdinand Hotel? As in the five star hotel? Wow, you have some explaining to do missy. Either you married a millionaire and did not tell me about it or you started dealing illegal substances…” Jacques trailed off.

 

“Wouldn't you like to know? Well it's quite simple, the faster you get here the faster you will get answers.” Kagura said with a smile.

 

“Fine! Give me forty minutes!”

 

“Are you pouting?” Kagura asked with a chuckle.

 

“No, and you better be ready when I come pick you up!” Jacques said before hanging up abruptly.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Kagura was seating in the hotel lobby and was impatiently waiting for her friend.

 

“Kagu-chan!” she heard someone scream and she instinctively knew who it was.

 

“Jakotsu, it's been too long!” she exclaimed as he took her in a bone crushing hug. Despite his effeminate appearance, his incredible strength never stopped to amaze her.

 

“Is it me or did you fill up that bra a little?” he asked enjoying making Kagura blush red. “I just love this shade of red on your lips, you have got to let me try it”.

 

“Sure here you go” she said as she fished out her lipstick from her purse.

 

Not wasting a second Jakotsu applied some. She did not pay his action any mind, as she was so used to her old friend's quite eccentric behavior. Jakostu tended to apply even more make up than her, and it was not uncommon to see the young man dressed in female clothing.

 

Jakotsu was lucky to have a petite figure and he enjoyed stealing Kagura's clothes, of course he called it borrowing, but the clothes in question, often, if not ever failed to come back to their owner.

 

“So how do I look?” he asked as the two of them went out the doors of the prestigious hotel.

 

“Just great. But you always look great no matter what Jakotsu and you know it”.

Kagura said as she took in her friend's appearance. Jakotsu was wearing a pair of form hugging low waisted black jeans, with a simple white T-shirt and to top it off, he wore a red scarf around his neck.

 

“Firstly, Kagu-chan I go by Jacques now. It helps me blend in and it sounds better for my business. Secondly I love it when you flatter me. That's the only reason I am able to stand you. Really all the other girls eww…they just get on my nerves I want to chop them to pieces…” then noticing Kagura suspiciously looking at his scarf he stopped his usual ranting about how much he could not stand women to add

 

“Bankotsu left me another hickey, and that was the only think I could use to hide it”.

 

“So I take it the two of you are still going strong?” the wind sorceress inquired as the two of them stepped into Jakotsu's car.

 

She knew that the reason why her young friend had an aversion for women in general was most of them tended to send too many loving looks at his beloved Bankotsu. When he had first met Kagura Jakotsu was surprised to see that she had absolutely no interest in the long haired human nor that she planned on seducing the then object of Jakotsu's secret admiration.

 

“I told you, he is my one and only. I love him more than life itself. But of course we wouldn't be together if it weren't for you. So once more I thank you from the bottom of my heart”

 

“Well, it's not like I really did anything.” Kagura said with a dismissive hand gesture.

 

“No, no, no you introduced us. If it weren't for you we would have never met, and my life would have been filled with despair and unhappiness. I would be condemned in a life without love” Jakotsu said on a sorrowful voice.

 

“If you say so drama queen. Oh and by the way I go by Kagura not Kagu-chan, okay?”

 

“Aww! My baby's all grown up!” he exclaimed.

 

“Jacques, I am only a few months younger than you.” Kagura remarked dryly.

 

“Maybe but still, who took you under his wing when you first arrived in Paris? Who took you out when you were alone and a real nerdy book worm?”

 

“Hey I've never been nerdy! And anyway there is nothing wrong with focusing on your studies, which by the way was the reason why I got the scholarship and came here to begin with” Kagura retorted.

 

“Okay, calm down. One would think you are a feline youkai or something. Geez, sheath your claws. Anyway I trust you have no objections to partying today?”

 

“Absolutely none!” Kagura said with a bright smile.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“So what is your opinion?” Bankotsu asked nervously.

 

“Well, I have to admit that I am quite surprised!” Kagura said as she once more looked around the different paintings.

 

“Didn't he do a great job?” Jakotsu asked with a proud broad smile

 

“Well you did help Jakotsu”. Bankotsu retorted.

 

“No really you guys did great, to think that the two lazy buns who used to sleep through our art history classes, would create such an exhibition?!” Kagura said sarcastically.

 

“Well it wasn't my fault, the teachers were boring and moreover, Bankotsu was just too beautiful, I could not help my self from staring at him. How can one concentrate in front of such beauty?” Jakotsu asked twirling a strand of his boyfriend's long dark hair around is finger.

 

“Don't exaggerate Jakotsu. And to answer you, I have to admit I always loved Japanese myths and legends. They just make a great basis for painting subjects”. Bankotsu said modestly.

 

“Really a great exhibition, I mean it I really…” Kagura trailed off as her eyes once more stopped on her favorite painting. Despite the number of times she looked at it, it always manage to send shivers down her spine. The panting she was so drawn to depicted the death scene in the myth of the Wind Sorceress and the Dog demon Lord. The painting represented the tragic scene where the wind wielder died in a field of flowers from the injuries sustained by the hands of her creator.

 

`Funny, a dog demon and a wind sorceress. Just like Sesshomarou and me. I wonder what's he doing right now?'

 

“Earth to Kagura, you're spacing out again.” Bankotsu remarked with a chuckle.

 

“She's just thinking about her secret lover. She's staying in HIS hotel suite at the Grand Ferdinand hotel. And she won't even tell me who he is!” Jakosu whined.

 

“Well I think that's because you can't keep your mouth shut. If she's having an affair with a rich and married man of course she wouldn't want anyone to know…” Bankostu said with a chuckle.

 

“Why you bastards, what kind of woman do you take me for? If you must know I'm not telling you because it's none of your business!” Kagura screamed even if she knew that her friends were only teasing her, she could not help getting angry.

 

The reason she did not want to tell them about Sesshomarou was that she knew how her two friends would tease her about it, and this she could not stand. Not to mention that Jakotsu tended to be the king of gossip.

 

“Aww, look at what you did! Now she's mad!” Jakotsu said with a pout.

 

“Sorry, I'll make it up to you. Come on, I'll call up the other guys and we'll go out for a drink or two just like old times.” Bankotsu said.

 

“We'll go to `Totosai's'? “ Kagura asked hopeful to go back to her favorite bar the same one where during her year in Paris she would stay and drink until sunrise with her good friends.

 

“Where else?” Jakotsu asked as he hooked his right arm under his lover's and his left one under Kagura's arm. The three of them then merrily walked out of Jakotsu and Bankotsu's art studio. The pair had brought Kagura there to ask for her opinion on their latest work. Out of their college group, Jakotsu and Bankotsu were the only ones who had really stuck by their passion and made a living out of painting. Kagura had never lost her passion for art and sometimes painted, but for the time being teaching art to kindergarteners satisfied her, that is until she opened her restaurant with Kagome.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Sesshomarou quickly made his way to the elevator of the `Grand Ferdinand hotel'. He smashed his fist on the elevator's button, when it did not move fast enough to his liking.

 

The reason for the dog demon's haste was quite simple. He could not tell why but he just could not shake the feeling that something was wrong with Kagura. During the day he had taken several breaks from his meetings and had tried to call her in their hotel suite, but Kagura had failed to pick up the phone each and every single time. He had then left several messages with his contact information, but the wind sorceress did not call him back.

 

Growing worried and greatly irritated, Sesshomarou then called the hotel's reception, and was informed that Kagura had left several hours ago with a young and attractive man or woman, the receptionist was not sure. Hearing this, the dog demon was enraged, and became therefore very eager to go back to the hotel. He tried his best to speed his business meetings, only so that he could get to Kagura faster.

 

Worry still growing inside of him Sesshomarou then quickly went to their suite and was furious beyond words to find it empty. Just to make sure he looked into every room, but Kagura no where to be seen. Slowly the feeling of dread and worry left place to anger then rage.

 

`Where did the wind witch go?' he anxiously wondered as he sat in their suite's living room waiting for Kagura to come back. As the hours slowly passed by and evening left place to night, which then faded into early morning Sesshomarou's previous anxiety shifted as only furry remained burning inside him `How dare she mock this Sesshomarou? Going about town without letting me know? It was I who brought her here. She should be waiting for me in our hotel room!' He angrily thought narrowing on the front door his glowing amber eyes where traces of red could now be seen, and curling his elongated green sipped claws inside the cushion of the armchair he was resting on…

 

 

To be continued…
