On MediaMiner.org:

 

Inuyasha Baby_bre (Sorry no can do. At least not in this story, otherwise I think it would undermine the whole Kanna/Naraku betrayal a little…but you did just give me an interesting idea for a possible upcoming one shot. So thanks!)

 

Unistar (Don't worry your questions will be answers in this chapter…at least as much as I can.)

 

Zetsuii (Yeah they have yet to realize their feelings for each other. Will they ever?)

 

Bandospands (Indeed Sess did step over the line, and Kagura is not happy at all.)

Inurinsama15 ( Yeah well Sessh can definitely be a little dense…but will things get better?)

 

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

 

 

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

When Kagura got up, not that she had managed to get any sleep at all as she only tossed and turned until she had had enough and decided to get up. The wind sorceress then started packing her clothes. As she looked outside the window, she noticed that the sun had barely risen. Luckily they had only spent a day in Paris so far, therefore she did not have that much to put back in her suitcase.

 

`It is a shame to come all the way here and just go back home after a day. When I think that I had to use my sick days…' the wind sorceress could not help but think as she scooped from the floor the wet clothes she wore the day before.

 

`You do realize you do not HAVE to leave. You could always forgive him and stay' Her inner demon reminded her once more.

 

`No, this time I have had enough of his I'm above everyone else, and we do things my way, domineering type of attitude. Anyway he's not the kind of person who apologizes. Fucking bastard!' Kagura thought angrily as she closed her suitcase.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

`I need to think of a way to make her listen to me' Sesshomarou thought, as he shifted slightly in the armchair he spent the rest of the night in.

 

`Well firstly you should apologize. I know you don't like it, but it's the only way' his inner demon said.

 

`Apologize for what? All I did was getting rid of the offending stench she was drenched in. Instead of slapping me, she should have been grateful.'

 

`I doubt that most people appreciate being thrown under a cold shower…'

 

Sesshomarou had nothing to retort this time, so he stayed silent. After a few minutes went by, he picked up the phone.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

After changing in comfortable clothes, the wind sorceress then took her full suitcase and walked proudly out of her bedroom's door, holding her head high. She was glad that she thought about applying some make up in order to hide the bags under her eyes, due to the many tears she had shed, the lack of decent sleep, and the hangover did play a role in it.

 

As soon as she stepped into the living room of their suite, she noticed that Sesshomarou was sitting in the same armchair where she had found him the previous night.

 

Her initial plan was to ignore him and march out of the room, but her curiosity and anger took over and she asked him angrily “what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be sleeping or getting ready for one of your meetings, or whatever?”

 

“I cancelled them” He said as he stood up. Sesshomarou looked down at Kagura's suitcase, and raised an eyebrow, which was the only sign of his great surprise.

 

`Is she thinking about leaving? She can't leave, I want her to stay' he told himself.

 

`More like needher to stay' Sesshomarou's inner demon remarked.

 

As if she read his mind, Kagura exclaimed “I am going home!”

 

After her statement the wind sorceress picked her luggage but before she could walk out the room, Sesshomarou planted himself right in front of her.

 

“Get out of my way, I want to catch a plane as fast as possible” she said as she tried to go around him.

 

“I can not let you go” he said as he moved to block her way once more.

 

“Well that's too bad, because I'm not asking for your permission or opinion!” She screamed at him.

 

Sesshomarou grabbed Kagura by the shoulders, before his left hand trailed down her arm and pried the suitcase handle from Kagura's right hand. Too mesmerized by his shining golden orbs to react, Kagura stood there, but she was snapped out of her daze once her suitcase reached the ground with a resonating sound.

 

“What the fuck do you think you're doing?” Kagura finally asked, without averting her gaze from his.

 

“Trying to get you to stay” he answered truthfully.

 

“You are the most fucked up person ever! What the hell is wrong with you? You can't control me. I can do whatever the hell I want to! Just like the wind I wield I was born free and it certainly was not to have to follow the whims of an insufferable dog demon! Besides if you think I will stay here after what you did last night…” Kagura trailed off.

 

“I know my reaction was uncalled for. And that I…was wrong.” He then tucked a loose strand of her raven hair behind her ear before softly cupping her cheek in his large hand.

 

`Did mister high and mighty just admit he was wrong?! I'll be damned! But he's really dreaming if he thinks that will be enough for me to forgive him' Kagura thought.

 

“I am sorry” Sesshomarou finally managed to let out, he could not remember the last time he ever uttered these words. The demon then let go of the cheek he was holding on to and inched forward to nuzzle the right side of Kagura's face as if to show her his repentance with more than words. “Will you stay?” he finally whispered in her ear as he straightened up, hopeful that his apology would convince her.

 

If Sesshomarou was not standing right in front of her, Kagura would have slapped or at least pinched herself to check whether she was dreaming or not. The dog demon had a very peculiar emotion she could not interpret playing in his eyes, was it guilt? Sadness? Fear? Kagura just could not identify it.

 

“Why would I stay here? You don't even care about me! All you want is for me to bear your precious baby. That's all. So yeah, as I said I'm going home.” Kagura said.

 

Just when she was ready to bend over in order to retrieve her luggage, Kagura was surprised as Sesshomarou took her in a strong embrace. As much as her mind was screaming for her to get free of his muscular arms, her body just relaxed and let him hold her.

 

“If this is what you think, you are very wrong wind witch. I care a lot about you.” Sesshomarou then let her hair free and gently stroked her ebony tresses.

 

“I was worried yesterday, I called the room several times but you did not answer. And when I called the reception, they told me you had left with some strange man or woman the concierge was not sure.”

 

At his words Kagura could not hold back a small chuckle. She could not help but remember the face of the receptionist and concierge when they spotted Jakotsu.

 

`He must not be the kind of guest they are used in this posh hotel' she thought.

 

“When I came back and found the room empty, I worried even more. Therefore once you came back intoxicated, I could only think about everything that could have happened to you. I lashed out my anger on you, and this was wrong…do you forgive me?” he added the last part on a voice barely above a whisper.

 

`To think that I am begging for forgiveness…pathetic!' He thought angry and disgusted by himself.

 

`Maybe, but admit that she's worth it' his inner demon observed.

 

`Not only he apologized, but he also said he…cared about me? Am I dreaming?' Kagura wondered as she finally returned Sesshomarou's embrace.

 

`Nope, it's really happening. But don't just stand there say something!' her inner demon scolded her.

 

“What about the proposal?” Kagura could not help but ask. But as soon as the words went out of her mouth she regretted it, as she really dreaded the answer. She was not sure she could handle it if Sesshomarou rejected her. As much as she wanted to leave earlier, a part of her wanted to stay by his side. And for him to ask her to stay was way beyond any dream.

 

Sesshomarou broke their embrace and holding Kagura at arms' length, he peered into her bright ruby red gaze, trying to assess her thoughts and true feelings.

 

“What about it?” he asked her running his fingers along her soft cheek.

 

“Well… you know… does it still stand?” she asked in a small voice avoiding his questioning eyes.

 

Even if he did not show it, Sesshomarou was slightly taken aback by her question. As much as he hated to admit it, he had stopped thinking about seriously carrying out the proposal. Of course he kept reflecting on it, trying to convince himself that his growing feelings for Kagura were due to their arrangements, but he now knew better.

 

Had he been honest with himself, Sesshomarou would have admitted that he carefully avoided bringing up the topic during their recent conversations, because he feared to know what the wind sorceress' feelings were on the question. Did she only act friendly towards him because of the money? Or did she have genuine feelings for him?

 

Those two questions kept running and turning into his head as he reluctantly asked her

 

“Do you want it to?”

 

To say Kagura was shocked would be an understatement. She looked up and finally met Sesshomarou's eyes and the uncertainty and maybe fear she saw in them melted her heart.

 

“No. What about you?” she asked quickly, eager to finally know his thoughts.

 

“I can not say I do” he answered truthfully.

 

Immediately relief started spreading throughout the both of them and they smiled at each other.

 

“Let's just start over, let's just pretend the last month did not happen. How's that?” Kagura asked anxious that despite what he said earlier, Sesshomarou would lose all interest in her if he knew that she would not provide him with an heir.

 

After a few precious seconds of silence, Sesshomarou nodded and Kagura picked up her suitcase. But before she could make a move, she heard Sesshomarou ask her:

 

“Are you leaving?”

 

She smiled before answering “it would be a waste to go home now, after all you already paid for the plane ticket and the suite, so I might as well stay here…”.The wind sorceress then turned around and entered her bedroom before closing the door behind her.

 

Sesshomarou sighed deeply as he headed for his own bedroom. He then smiled slightly as he thought `mission accomplished. The first part of the plan has been successful.'

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: Aww they finally managed to communicate and Kagura decided to stay. They both admitted they're not interested in the proposal anymore. What's in store for them next? How about a romantic day in Paris? Next chapter will be named Paris je t'aime! (`I love you Paris!' in French).

 

Just in case you're wondering (which you probably are not), yep Saphira speaks French one of my many hidden talents…

 

I'll try to update as soon as possible and not leave you guys hanging again, but thngs are still pretty hectic for me right now.
