Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, Sesshomarou would be the one to hold Kagura's heart.

 

 

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

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 sinking his elongated poison green infused claws inside the soft cushion of the armchair he was resting on…

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

After the boys dropped her off at the hotel, Kagura somehow, with great luck managed to stagger all the way to the hotel suite she shared with Sesshomarou. Due to her alcohol impaired senses it did however take her a great deal of time to get to the right floor.

 

It was only a few hours before dawn, and the wind sorceress could only hope that Sesshomarou was already in bed. She really had not planned to come back this late, but each and every one of her college buddies insisted on buying her a drink. And who was she to refuse free drinks? Especially when she already had a designated driver in the person of Jakotsu. As much as she tried, Kagura could not remember ever seeing her young human friend ever drinking a drop of alcohol.

 

As she walked up to their room, Kagura could already feel a massive headache coming.

 

'Pain killers and sleep, that's all I need!' she thought as she fished out her magnetic key and successfully swiped it in the lock after several trials giggling at how ridiculous she must be looking.

 

The room was pitch black except for two shinning golden amber orbs, they were glowing in the darkness which gave them an eerie appearance. The wind sorceress shivered as she noticed the two orbs, but her mind was too far gone to feel any kind of real fear.

 

It took Kagura's alcohol hazy mind a long time to register where the living room's lights were located. But when she flicked them on she gasped loudly before saying:

 

“Gods! It's only you, you scared the shit out of me! Why aren't you sleeping?” She asked none other than Sesshomarou who was sitting in one of the living room area's armchair. Kagura quickly slipped off her shoes and threw them along with her purse in one corner of the room.

 

She then meant to go back to her bedroom, in order to get some much needed rest and retrieve the painkillers she was thankful for bringing along, but as she brushed past him, Sesshomarou grabbed her wrist.

 

She tried to get free, but soon realized that even if his hold on her was not really that painful, it was still very strong.

 

“What is it you want? I really want to go to bed right now” She said tugging on his arm.

 

“Where were you wind witch?” he asked coldly not getting up from his sitting position and not even bothering to look up at her. Sesshomarou was still staring right in front of him, his gaze locked on the suite's front door. If Kagura had taken the time to study his face she would have noticed that his incredible anger was sipping through his usually emotion free mask. His jaw was set in a hard angle and his eyes were shining as if they were on fire. Not to mention the torn cushion on the arms of the armchair he was sitting on, which had suffered from the dog demon's highly corrosive poison claws. In other words, Sesshomarou looked as if he had to strain in order to keep a hold on his raging thoughts and emotions.

 

“I just went out with some friends, that's all” she answered wiggling, trying to get free from his grasp.

 

“What friends?” He snapped.

 

“Oh!” Kagura sighed in annoyance, she then smacked him on the arm but stopped struggling, knowing that despite all her might, unless Sesshomarou wanted to, she would not be able to get free.

 

“Just some friends I met when I spent my year here. We just hung out and went out for a few drinks now let me go”.

 

“A few drinks?” Sesshomarou repeated, finally averting his gaze to Kagura.

 

He took in her very short denim skirt and her revealing spaghetti strap red tank top. The idea of several men, even if they were her `friends' spending the entire day with her and then these men bringing her to a bar and making her drink more than reason not only disgusted him but fanned his swelling anger.

 

To his irritation, Sesshomarou could smell their scent on her along with the offending odor of cheap alcohol. Realizing how intoxicated Kagura was his mind started racing, imagining anything that could have happened to the wind sorceress as she staggered the streets inebriated in revealing clothes…His icy dark amber eyes suddenly shifted to bright red. Not being able to take it anymore, he abruptly stood up, without relinquishing his hold on Kagura's wrist. Sesshomarou then dragged her to the bathroom and despite her struggling, he lifted her in his arms and quickly placed her in the bathtub.

 

Before she could protest or react in anyway, the dog demon opened the shower knob. Ignoring Kagura's yelp as the cold water made contact with her still clothed skin, Sesshomarou using his arms kept her under the steady stream of nearly icy water for what seemed to her like an eternity.

 

Satisfied to have somewhat gotten rid of the smell of the other men, Sesshomarou said as if trying to justify his action “you were intoxicated and reeked of alcohol”.

 

He then turned off the water and stepped away. As he extended his hand to help Kagura out of the shower, she looked at him with burning red orbs. She stood up shivering and slapped him with all the strength she could muster.

 

“You bastard! How dare you? That was the last time you ever touch me!” Just for good measure she slapped him once more, before stepping out of the room and screaming behind her “next time keep your fucking jealous bullshit to yourself”.

 

Sesshomarou stayed glued to the spot. He could not understand what had just gotten into him. When he saw Kagura enter the room, staggering covered in other men's scent, he just lost it. He tried to reason himself and tell himself that it he just gave the cold shower to Kagura to get her rid of the offending scent of alcohol, but he knew better. No, he just could not stand the idea of another man touching her.

 

`Jealous she said? Ridiculous as if this Sesshomarou could be jealous?” he tried to convince himself, but to no avail.

 

`And to think you two were making such great progress, you just had to ruin everything…' Sesshomarou's inner demon said.

 

`ME the one who ruined everything? SHE is the one who went around bar hoping with some random men without telling me where she went! SHE is the one who slapped me! And I am the one to blame?' Sesshomarou said inwardly fuming.

 

`Pfft, as if you didn't deserve to be slapped? Come on you know you did. And you sure sound jealous to me' his inner demon remarked.

 

`How could I be jealous? Kagura is just a mean to an end. I only need her to bear my child so that I can…'

 

`Stop kidding yourself' his inner demon interrupted.`You have feelings for her, otherwise you wouldn't have reacted to her being with other men the way you did. Hell you wouldn't have introduced her to Rin.'

 

`She saw Rin when she came up to my house' Sesshomarou cut in.

 

`Fair enough, but what about your parents? You didn't HAVE to bring Kagura to the Opera or to defend her in front of Naraku or even better to bring her along on this trip.'

 

As much as he hated to admit it, Sesshomarou had to agree with his inner demon's voice: he had feelings for Kagura. He sighed heavily as he massaged gently his cheek, which was still tingling in pain and breathed deeply.

 

The dog demon then walked over to Kagura's room, but before knocking stopped dead in his tracks as he picked up an unpleasant salty scent coming from the other side of the door. It took a few seconds to realize what was going on, but he then registered that Kagura was crying.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Kagura wrapped herself in a large soft towels provided by the hotel and wiped some more of her fresh tears. She just could not understand why Sesshomarou had gotten this mad at her. She had just thrown in that he was jealous, but she had a hard time believing this.

 

`Why would he care? To him I'm just good to carrying his baby anyway. Did he get mad because I've been drinking? Does he think I could endanger his precious “future offspring?” Anyway I don't need him anymore, I don't need to pretend any longer after all he did introduce me to this guy who works at Ryu bank or whatever I still have his card, I'm sure he'll back up our project even if just to spite Sesshomarou..' Kagura wondered, as the flow of tears continued.

 

`Pfft you barely remember the guy's name, and I'm pretty sure you don't mean half of what you just said. You know, maybe you mean more to Sesshomarou? Maybe he got angry because he was jealous as he smelt Jakotsu, Bankotsu and the others on you. You know canine youkai their sense of smell is everything to them.' her inner demon tried to reason.

 

`Oh wow so his instincts dictated his actions, and that justifies his behavior?!' Kagura asked incredulous.

 

`Of course not, he had no right to push you around like that. But I think that he has deeper feelings for you than you think. And I'm pretty sure he feels really bad right now and wants to apologize' her inner demon tried to explain.

 

As if on cue, a light knocking was heard at Kagura's bedroom door, she did not answer as she really did not want to speak to Sesshomarou. The knocking became steadily louder and more insistent, but still the wind sorceress refused to answer her door.

 

Realizing that she had no intention to talk to him, Sesshomarou tried opening the door, but of course the wind sorceress had closed it behind her.

 

Kagura thanked the Gods that she had thought of locking the damn door, before jumping on the bed and soak the pillow with her hot tears.

 

The dog demon then resumed knocking on the door, but still Kagura ignored him. Shaking her head to block out the sound, Kagura took off her wet clothes and slipped naked under the covers.

 

After debating on what to do next for a few minutes, Kagura completely felt at peace for the first time since she had gotten involved with Sesshomarou. The reason for her inner sense of peace? She had come to a decision. As if to encourage her in her choice the knocking on the door suddenly stopped.

Yes, Kagura now knew what to do: first thing the next day, she was going to go home and forget all about Sesshomarou Tashio and his ludicrous proposal.

 

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

 

A/N: Ooh drama, drama! What will happen next? Will Kagura forgive Sesshy? Will he be too proud and let her go? Who knows? Read the next chapter to find out, it will be named…actually I'm not telling you yet. It would reveal too much.

 

Something important to say: I have a lot on my plate for the upcoming week, so there may not be any update until the following week. I am very sorry about this and will try my best not to leave you hanging with a mean cliffy too long.

 

Well, I'm in the mood for a long A/N, so I also want to say that's it's not cool to throw anyone under a cold shower for any reason (not even a prank)…sorry going on a tangent with bad Halloween memories….

 

Okay no more to say. Until next time!
