“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

Kagura woke up to an annoying ringing sound and looking at the window she could tell that she had slept through the entire night. She propped herself on her elbows and rested her back on the head board of the bed, careful to cover her nudity by the sheets. The wind sorceress then looked at Sesshomarou, who was pacing the room in his underwear and was on the phone. He was not saying one word but she could tell that he was extremely annoyed.

 

She waited until he hung up before asking “is something wrong?”

 

“You are awake.” He said, she figured it was more of an observation than a real question. “This was my father, there are problems at the Bank that need my immediate attention therefore we must go back home today. Also apparently there is a family emergency I have to take care of. Pack your bags we shall be leaving in a few hours.”

 

“Hum okay. Is it something serious? Did someone get hurt or something?” Kagura asked as she got up to take a shower.

 

“No, but somebody certainly will” Sesshomarou said with red tainted eyes, on a cold tone that sent shivers down Kagura's spine.

 

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

The ride to the airport was mostly silent for Kagura, as Sesshomarou made several phone calls. The different persons he spoke with did most of the talking, as Sesshomarou listened carefully, anger and irritation emanating from him in waves. Kagura had no idea what was going at the bank or what the nature of the `family emergency' was but she did not ask because she did not want to pry.

 

During one of his conversations, Sesshomarou quickly sent s glance to Kagura and frowned as he noticed the bored and slightly annoyed look on the wind sorceress' face. Feeling bad for neglecting her, the dog demon gently reached over to squeeze her hand in his. Surprised by the sudden gesture of affection, Kagura blushed slightly but smiled as she returned his squeeze with her smaller hand.

 

Sesshomarou knew that considering the amount of work that was sure to be piled up on his office desk, the report he was sure to receive of the different meetings he cancelled in order to spend time with Kagura and coupled with the fact that he also now had to deal with family matters, The dog demon figured that their flight, would be the most time he would be able to spend with his wind witch for at least a few days.

 

After hanging up from one of his almost one sided conversations, Sesshomarou looked at his girlfriend.

 

“Kagura…” he started but was once more interrupted by a phone call.

 

Looking apologetically in the wind witch's direction Sesshomarou answered the call. After listening in silence for some time he suddenly said “He did what?!... No he has gone too far. I want to make him pay for what he did. This time we are out for blood!” Sesshomarou had hissed his words on such a threatening tone, that it made Kagura shiver.

 

His unusual vehemence and the sudden instability in his demonic aura were frightening Kagura. Her reaction did not escape Sesshomarou's keen eyes. He lowered the phone from his ear to quickly whisper to Kagura “You have nothing to worry about. It is just a figure of speech”.

 

“Yeah I know” She murmured. The wind sorceress knew that whoever had wronged Sesshomarou, the person would have to pay dearly, but she highly doubted that her boyfriend would spill anyone's blood.

 

As their car continued towards the airport, and the silence between the two lovers lingered due to Sesshomarou's phone conversation, Kagura could not suppress a heavy sigh. Noticing her irritation growing Sesshomarou smiled slightly in her direction, trying to cheer her up. The wind sorceress did not reciprocate the gesture, and her face broke into a grimace, which tore at Sesshomarou's heart. He knew that her sadness was due to the similar feeling he himself had churning inside him, which was his want, no need of being with Kagura. He knew he would forever cherish the closeness they had shared during their trip, they had their ups and down, but overall during the past few days he had learn so much about his wind sorceress.

 

`How is it that I want to be so close to her, and not just in a sexual way? Why is it that I can not stand to see her sad?' Sesshomarou wondered barely paying attention to Jaken on the other line. The imp youkai was blabbering about Sesshomarou's impending yearly checkup on his other businesses he had to conduct soon, but Sesshomarou's eyes were stuck on Kagura's sad smile.

 

But another part of him was angry, angry at himself for caring so much about Kagura and her well being. To think that he had allowed her, who was supposed to only be an end to a mean, a way to fulfill his want for an heir to become so important to him. Not only did he care about her but also he defended her and had begged for her forgiveness, when she threatened to leave him. Sesshomarou quickly shook his head to rid himself from his ridiculous thoughts.

 

He knew that his inner demon had been right, as much as he hated to admit it, she was all worth it because he had feelings for the wind sorceress, deep feelings.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Okay now that was a disappointing ending, don't you think?” Kagura asked as she took her headphones off. She turned towards Sesshomarou and contained a sigh as she noticed that he was so absorbed in his laptop that he had failed to notice that the movie they were supposed to be watching together was over.

 

“Sessh?”

 

“Hum?” he asked not lifting his eyes from his screen.

 

“You can take your headphones off the movie is finished” Kagura stated with a heavy sigh as she pushed a button to call for a stewardess.

 

The young red haired woman appeared with an incredible speed, surely motivated by the imposing regal inu youkai.

 

“How can I help you?” their stewardess asked with a bright smile.

 

“Could I get some magazines or newspapers, just something to read” Kagura said as she turned off her screen.

 

“Sure” The young human said as she took out a stack of magazines from a tray.

 

`They sure are ready in the first class' Kagura could not help but think with an impressed expression and a small smile playing on her lips as she scanned through the stack of publications.

 

“Will that be all Madam?” The stewardess asked with another bright smile.

 

“Did you hear that? She thinks we're married. Guess we look like a couple coming back from their honeymoon” Kagura said with a chuckle as soon as their stewardess was out of sight and hearing range.

 

“Very interesting indeed, but I disapprove with the choice of the lead actress. When will Hollywood understand that using the latest young sensation is not always the wisest choice when it comes to the quality of the movie?” Sesshomarou answered absent mindedly.

 

`Pfft looks like the honeymoon is over indeed' Kagura could not help but think bitterly.

 

She did not hide the look of hurt and annoyance on her face, but this time it went unnoticed to Sesshomarou who was too busy trying to find a quick solution to the crisis caused by his enemy Shishinki Ryukotsusei, the CEO of Ryu bank who purposely sold the few shares he held in Tashio bank at a low price and spread the rumor that the bank was secretly greatly struggling due to the economic recession. And of course this rumor prompted other share holders to sell, and devaluated tremendously the value of Tashio bank's stocks, which of course did not reassure the other share holders.

 

`Why am I so selfish? We spent the past days together, so of course he fell back in his work and now he has to make up for it' Kagura thought disgusted with herself after reading an article in a financial newspaper about the difficult position Tashio bank was in. She then decided not to bother Sesshomarou for the rest of their trip home.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

As Sesshomarou's limo came to a halt in front of her apartment building, Kagura felt her heart sink. She did not want to be separated from Sesshomarou, the past days had been so wonderful and she wanted to stay near him.

 

“I will call you tomorrow; maybe we can go out to dinner? Or rather you could come over to my house, Rin misses you” Sesshomarou said.

 

“I'd love to, I miss her too. Well, tell her I said `hi'!” Kagura answered faking cheerfulness, before getting ready to open the door to get out.

 

But Sesshomarou extended his arm to stop her. With a tug on her shoulders, he turned her around to face him. Sesshomarou then wrapped his arms around Kagura and kissed her deeply. At first she was so surprised that she did not react, but very soon she returned his kiss and reached up to gently caress his long hair.

 

As they finally broke apart, Kagura had a silly smile on her face. Sesshomarou smirked and released her whispering “I will talk to you tomorrow”. He then planted one last sweet kiss on her lips before letting her go as just on cue, Suikotsu opened the limo's door on Kagura's side.

 

With the help of the driver, Kagura dragged her suitcase up to her apartment and entered using her key.

 

The wind sorceress quickly turned the lights on in her living room and immediately regretted it. To her greatest shock Kagome and Inuyasha lay peacefully in each others arms on the couch with only a small blanket covering their apparent nudity. Despite their cover, Kagura could still easily make out their sweaty tangled limbs.

 

The wind sorceress fought both her blush and the images popping up in her head of her roommate going at it with her boyfriend's little brother on their living room couch.

 

`Eww! I loved napping on this couch!' The dismayed Kagura thought as she tried to make her way to the safety of her room as fast as possible while doing her best to ignore the sleeping couple. She did however loudly slam the door shut after she entered her bedroom. The resonating thud of a body falling on the floor made her smirk evilly.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Kagura woke up to a ringing sound, after profusely cursing for not ever being able to have an entire night of sleep without being awaken by some sort of ringing, and hoping that Inuyasha and Kagome had relocated to her roommate's bedroom, she got up to get the door.

 

Sighing heavily with relief that the two love birds were not on the living room couch anymore, Kagura opened the door. Before she could see who was at her door she was tackled. The wind sorceress looked down and realized that none other than Rin was stuck to her in a bear hug. Realizing the identity of her `attacker' Kagura looked up and was not surprised to be greeted by a pair of golden eyes.

 

“Hi! What a surprise.” the wind sorceress said smiling at Sesshomarou and returning Rin's hug. Kagura did mentally curse as she realized that she was wearing an old large faded grey and out of shape T-shirt with a pair of short red shorts as a pajamas.

 

`Of course he had to stop by on a bad hair day and when I'm wearing these horrendous pajamas!' She thought as she made a mental note as soon as Rin would release her to try to make her disheveled ponytail look somewhat decent.

 

“We are kidnapping you! But don't worry it's just for breakfast” Rin said with a smile as she finally let go of Kagura's waist.

 

“Aww you're taking me out to breakfast? Thank you Rin I am starving.” Kagura said looking into Sesshomarou's eyes while she released her hair and tried to smooth it.

 

“Come inside, I'll just go take a quick shower and change” the wind sorceress said giving up on trying to look presentable. She then stepped away from the entrance.

 

Rin smiled and skipped happily to the living room. But before she could sit on the couch Kagura muffled a scream.

 

“Rin honey, wouldn't you rather sit on the armchair? Or better yet, why don't you sit in the kitchen? I'll get you something to drink. Yeah fruit juice, you must be thirsty!” Kagura asked with an uncomfortable smile.

 

“No it's okay Rin is not thirsty” the little girl said surprised.

 

“No no I insist. I'll get you a drink” Kagura said with a nervous smile.

 

Sesshomarou wanted to ask Kagura what was wrong with her, but after taking a sniff of the room, he frowned as his sensitive nose told him about everything that had transpired the previous night between Inuyasha and Kagome.

 

Even if Rin could not smell it, he gently took his daughter's hand and quickly led her to the safety of the kitchen, where they would be waiting for Kagura to get ready.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“I was really not expecting to see you so soon, I figured you'd have more work to do” Kagura said taking a bite of her pancakes drenched in chocolate sauce.

 

“It is parting meal.” Sesshomarou stated.

 

“A `parting meal'?” Kagura asked not sure if she was following what he was trying to tell her.

 

“I am afraid I have been putting off the surveying of my foreign interests for too long. In some of the stores the sales are going down, nothing to be really worried about, but I do want to take a look into it. Not to mention that I have to visit and reassure the foreign share holders of the bank” the dog demon said sipping on his cup of coffee which as usual only constituted his morning meal.

 

Noticing the wind sorceress' unsure expression, Rin added “Daddy is going away for a week. He always does at the same time every year, but it's okay Rin gets to stay with Grandpa and Grandma. Rin has a lot of fun with them… Not that Rin doesn't have fun with daddy” the little girl worriedly quickly added looking over her French toast at her father.

 

“You're leaving? For a week? When?” Kagura felt her heart sink as soon as the words left her mouth. The idea of not seeing Sesshomarou for just a week, especially now that they had started a genuine relationship with no lies or fear of the proposal made her sad.

 

“Yes. I am leaving this afternoon.” Sesshomarou answered. Even if she tried her best to hide it, the look of hurt in Kagura's eyes did not go unnoticed by Sesshomarou. He wanted to comfort her, to tell her that everything would be alright and that it was only a week apart.

 

“It's okay, I will have time to catch up with my friends. It seems that Kagome will have a lot to tell me about your brother” Kagura said with a small smile.

 

Sesshomarou inwardly shuddered at the thought of what exactly the women would talk about, but he quickly got rid of the disturbing images.

 

“Rin, are you done?” he asked his daughter, as he took out his wallet and left a couple of bills on the table not even bothering to wait for the check.

 

“Yes!” the little girl exclaimed before getting up.

 

“Let us go then” Sesshomarou said getting up and walking to the door of the restaurant.

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: Oh will Sesshy and Kagura be able to keep a strong relationship despite a week of separation? Find out in Scheduling issues.

 

On another note, from this point on updates are going to slow down a bit (to once a week instead of twice) no I'm not giving up on the fic or whatever, it's just that I am so way off my original outline and I am getting so many new ideas that I don't want to mess anything up. I am sure you would agree that having to wait a little longer than usual until Saphira clears up all the junk in her head and sorts out her ideas would be better than having a weirdly constructed story with chapters that don't mean anything or a distorted plot. I really love this story and appreciate all the support I have been getting, and that's why I won't let you guys down! The next update will probably be next Friday or Saturday.
