Little Green Purse (Such a long review thank you for the constructive criticism I really appreciated your suggestions. Where to start my answer?...About the whole inner demon thing I saw it being used by many other authors and I thought I'd use it as some comic relief. Also I'm not the best writer so I find it useful when I want to get out the character's inner feelings and thoughts. I do want to clarify that while their inner voice acts as a conscience and gives them suggestions they do not in any case make decisions or actions for the demon in question. Will Kagura's selfishness be addressed later on in the story? You betcha! `Indecent proposal' is so far from being finished, I still have so much coming for you guys. I know things might seem a bit slow, but it will be worth it in the end!)

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

“You know about yesterday…I'm sorry too. I guess I should have left you a note or something. But it's not like I had planned to stay out this late. I just got caught up with…” Kagura started.

 

“It is of no importance.” Sesshomarou cut her.

 

`As if I would wish to hear about how much fun she was having with her male friends. She really must have been enjoying herself if she even forgot to let me know about her absence' Sesshomarou thought. Even if he would not admit it, the idea that Kagura could have been having fun without him on the trip that he had planned for the two of them hurt him.

 

“So what are we doing today? I am sure you have a great plan for the both of us.” Kagura asked Sesshomarou who sat across from her, cutting through his negative thoughts. The two of them were enjoying an exquisite breakfast, around the small dining table set on the balcony of their hotel suite.

 

Instead of answering her, Sesshomarou simply carelessly extended his left arm towards the beautiful view of the city.

 

“Okay, could you be any more precise?” Kagura asked staring intently at the dog demon who was now sipping his black coffee. She then picked up the red rose, that Sesshomarou had ordered for her along with breakfast and inhaled its delicious scent.

 

Sesshomarou seemed thoughtful for a few seconds, as if he was inwardly debating on whether to tell her or not, what he had planned. Once he reached his decision he grinned and answered “You'll see wind witch.”

 

The said wind witch rolled her eyes in exasperation, but could barely hide her amusement and her excitation.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

“Monsieur Tashio, your means of transportation has been prepared. Following your instructions it is parked in the front. I am sure it will be to Mademoiselle's taste” The concierge of the hotel whose name tag read Pierre said with a heavy French accent and a warm smile as Sesshomarou and Kagura appeared in the hotel lobby.

 

Sesshomarou simply nodded and took the set of keys the middle aged human extended towards him. The dog demon then started walking towards the valet parking of the hotel

 

Kagura was surprised that Sesshomarou would be the one driving, she also wondered what the concierge meant and why Sesshomarou expressly asked her to dress very comfortably. As she walked behind him, she took in his appearance. Sesshomarou was wearing beige slacks with an immaculate white polo. The wind sorceress following his instructions wore a pair of dark denim shorts along with a white T-shirt.

 

Nothing had prepared Kagura for what was the `means of transportation' really was. She looked at Sesshomarou with disbelief. The dog demon had to bite his own tongue in order not to laugh out, as out of the corner of his eye he noticed the stunned expression on Kagura's face.

 

After staring at the vehicle for a few more seconds Kagura finally asked “do you really expect me to ride on this with you?” She stressed the two last words.

 

“Why not? Are you scared wind witch?” Sesshomarou asked as he bent to retrieve one of the two helmets. “There is really no reason to be afraid, I shall not let any harm come to you. Besides it is quite a useful mean of transportation in a crowded city with narrow streets such as Paris”. He added with a smirk as he thrust the helmet into Kagura's hands.

 

“Who's scared, me? Pfft of course not. But tell me can you really drive this thing?” She asked as she set down the helmet while she lowered her ponytail in order to be able to put on the protection correctly.

 

“And to think that I settled for a scooter, because I thought you would be too afraid to ride a motorcycle…” Sesshomarou trailed off as he fastened his own helmet.

 

“I'll have you know that I am not afraid of motorcycles. And also I rode and even drove two wheels vehicles before. I drove a nice pink `Vespa' when I was in Rome” The wind sorceress said proudly holding her head high as she took the back seat of the scooter.

 

Not bothering to comment, Sesshomarou sat in front of her and as he brought the engine to life he said “hold on tight wind witch”.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Kagura felt grateful that she had listened to Sesshomarou's advice. To her great amazement, the dog demon somehow managed to push the red and white scooter to an unbelievable speed. As she firmly held on to him with her arms circled around his waist and her chest pressing against his broad back, Kagura saw the streets of Paris fly by them in a blur.

 

As the scooter finally came to a screeching halt, the wind wielder wondered how Sesshomarou managed not to crash in a car.

 

“And you said you were not afraid” Sesshomarou mused aloud; as he removed his helmet freeing his long silver white mane he had somehow managed to tuck under the small helmet. Kagura did wonder idly how come his hair did not look one bit displaced…

 

“I was not, I was only surprised” Kagura retorted. Then as she looked around she noticed that the scooter had stopped not far away from none other then the Eiffel tower.

 

“What are we doing here?” Kagura questioned.

 

“This Sesshomarou believes it is called sight seeing” he answered with a careless shrug as he started walking towards the iron tower. Kagura rolled her eyes before following him.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

The wind sorceress closed her eyes as she felt the winds stirring around her. She gently relaxed the hand in which she had clasped her fan. Every time she was standing in great heights, and she could feel her element whipping around her, Kagura felt so at peace.

 

“You are scaring them away” Sesshomarou who was standing close to her whispered in her right ear.

 

The wind sorceress winced at his close contact and turned around to notice that Sesshomarou and her were the only two left on the particularly high floor of the Eiffel tower, where several groups of tourists used to be a few minutes ago.

 

“Oops” she answered on an absolutely not contrite tone as she once more opened her fan to bend the winds to her will and made the strong gust come to a rest.

 

“You enjoy heights”

 

Kagura had a hard time to figure out if he meant it as a question or merely a simple observation. But she settled for the latter.

 

The wind sorceress then let out a heavy sigh before asking “so what's next?” Sesshomarou looked intently in her ruby red gaze, he looked as if he was trying to think about something.

 

“Stop pretending I know you have a devious plan which includes having the entire day mapped out. After all you are a control freak” she said with a smirk as she went towards the elevator.

 

“Am I now?” he asked amused as he stood beside her in the elevator.

 

“You know you are…domineering dog” she added with a chuckle. “Want an example? You looked as if you were ready to sharpen your claws on this guy what's his name again… oh yeah Shishinki Ryukotsusei, or whatever. You know when we were at the opera; and simply because he gave me his card…”

 

“I had a reason to be. Ryukotsusei enjoys seducing women I am… involved with and using them in his plans to try to take over Tashio bank.” Sesshomarou said with a shrug as he pushed the elevator buttons'.

 

“Okay, let me get this straight. First you think that I'm easy enough to be `seduced' by some random blond guy?! Then you think I'm stupid enough to be used in your little power plays? Wow thanks it's nice to know how highly you think of me!” Kagura said flushed in anger.

 

“You are twisting my words wind witch. I believe in you and I trust you. Otherwise why do you think I brought you here?”

 

“Don't think sweet talk will get you out of this one” Kagura said pretending not to be affected by his words even if a nice red shade was etched on her face. The reason being that she knew that to demons, canine youkai especially, trust was a very if not the most important thing. “So you wouldn't mind if I called Ryukotsusei?” She teased.

 

Instinctively Sesshomarou growled in his chest, the idea of his `enemy' having any kind of contact with his wind witch did not seat well with him.

 

“Geez, calm down I was just kidding. To think that you'd go all primal on me just for that” Kagura sad as they stepped outside of the elevator. But to be honest in some kind of way she enjoyed seeing Sesshomarou all protective of her…it was kind of arousing.

 

“So seriously what's next” She asked lightly wanting to dispel their earlier small argument.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Why are you staring at me like that for?!” Kagura finally asked in exasperation as she and Sesshomarou walked along one of the paved walkway on the banks of the Seine River.

 

Ever since they stopped to have lunch in a low key French restaurant of Kagura's choosing, she noticed that Sesshomarou had been stealing quick glances at her, and the action was starting to greatly unnerve her.

 

“I was just wondering where you store all this formidable amount of chocolate you are capable of ingurgitating.” He answered as he suddenly stopped under the refreshing shade of a tree. He averted his gaze from Kagura to one of the excursion boats filled with tourists, which was sailing on the Seine's still waters.

 

Guessing that Sesshomarou was referring to the two decadent and rich chocolate cake slices she had for desert earlier and also to the chocolate ice cream cone she was enjoying at the present moment, Kagura answered with a smirk “wouldn't you like to know?”

 

“I believe I will find out soon enough” he answered as he bent towards her, fanning his warm breath on the side of her neck. As if to emphasize his point, Sesshomarou then ran a single claw from Kagura's creamy neck and down her spine. The wind sorceress shivered in delight, but when the implications of his words sunk in she jolted and dropped her ice cream cone.

 

Seeing the effect he was having on her, Sesshomarou chuckled and added “very soon indeed” before resuming his walk.

 

`Did he just say him and I are going to…' Kagura trailed off in her mind.

 

`Looks like we'll finallybe having some fun' her inner demon teased.

 

Ignoring the annoying voice, Kagura frowned as he looked at her spoiled ice cream. She then hurried to fall back into step with Sesshomarou. She decided to simply ignore his teasing and enjoy their afternoon together; after all she still had a lot of time to think about what would happen by nightfall…

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Before heading back to their hotel suite, Kagura suggested, more like insisted to go down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the largest and most animated avenue of the city, where the most luxurious shops could be found. In Sesshomarou's opinion she wanted to go shopping, but truth is that she really did not want to go back to the hotel just yet, as she was still puzzled by Sesshomarou's earlier words. It was after all only the previous night that they had talked things over between them and she feared that their relationship was moving too fast.

 

Too absorbed by her thoughts, Kagura winced once she felt Sesshomarou's fingers in her hair.

 

“A leaf” he simply stated. She then noticed the small green leaf trapped between his fingers as he resumed walking. But the wind sorceress was not following him, for she was too enthralled by one of the store displays.

 

Noticing that Kagura had come to a halt, Sesshomarou walked back to her and following her gaze, he saw that what had her so absorbed was a beautiful ruby and platinum necklace. The necklace was composed of three precious stones, two smaller rubies with a larger one in the middle. The three rubies were surrounded by an intricate design of platinum. The necklace itself was resting on a navy blue silk cushion, adding to its breath taking beauty.

 

“It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen” Kagura said as she felt Sesshomarou next to her.

 

“I beg to differ” he answered. As she turned towards him in order to argue, she noticed that instead of gazing at the necklace, the dog demon was looking straight at her. Kagura blushed but managed to press her lips in a firm line, in order not to smile.

 

“Do you wish to go inside?” he asked her.

 

“Are you crazy? I could never afford something like that!” she retorted.” Besides we're just window shopping”.

 

“Window shopping” he repeated with a disgusted frown. “This Sesshomarou does not engage in such actions. If I see something appealing I buy it” he added.

 

“And this includes women?” she asked a little insulted by his remark. `Arrogant rich jerk. For us poor mere mortals window shopping is the only way to be near the finest things' she wanted to add. But seeing the look of hurt that quickly flashed through Sesshomarou's eyes, she stayed her tongue.

 

“Let us go back to the hotel, it will soon be dark” he answered all sign of flirting or playfulness gone from his voice.

 

Kagura gritted her teeth in frustration, she felt bad for ruining their nice time. “I'm sorry I didn't really mean that, you know I just…” she started.

 

“It is of no importance” he cut her as he walked towards where their scooter was parked.

 

Quickening her pace, Kagura managed to catch up to him, she then grabbed his arm and forced him to look at her, before she started speaking

 

“Wait listen, I'm sorry. That was just mean. I don't think you're like that. No, I KNOW you're not like that. You want others to see you as an arrogant rich jerk, but deep, very deep inside you're different. Ever since we started dating, I saw another side of you, and I have to admit I like this side of you. You can be sweet, funny you're also a real gentleman and……”

 

Once again, Sesshomarou cut her, but this time the dog demon used his lips. He crashed his lips on Kagura's as his arm snaked around her waist preventing her from getting away. After a few seconds, he wind sorceress eagerly returned his kiss. Sesshomarou then wasted no time to slip his tongue inside her mouth. As their two appendages fought for dominance, Sesshomarou ran his clawed hands over Kagura's back pressing her flush against him, her breasts smashed against his chest. As their kiss grew more demanding, the dog demon could discern the heady and delicious scent of Kagura's arousal.

 

“Let us go back to our hotel room” he whispered softly, stroking Kagura's soft pale cheeks after they broke apart to breathe. Not being able to resist the temptation long enough, Sesshomarou once more tasted her cherry red lips.

 

After they finally broke apart, the wind sorceress felt weak in her knees as she looked into his shimmering golden eyes and simply nodded too overcome to speak. At this point there was nothing she wanted more than being alone with Sesshomarou.

 

The couple walked together towards their vehicle ready to spend a nice evening together, but unbeknownst to them, someone was waiting for them at their hotel…

 

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

 

A/N: Oh no, who could ruin such a beautiful day? Will Sesshy and Kagura be able to salvage their night? Find out next time in Change of plans.

 

And Saphira did it. She met her self imposed deadline just in time to get ready for the soon to come turkey induced coma! LOL. Happy thanksgiving to whoever celebrates it.

 

 

The next update will surely come next week. Finals week is right around the corner, but once I'm done with it I will enter a writing frenzy!
