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

 

 

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

'I can't believe this! How stupid can I be? I really thought that bastard of Ryukotsusei had a genuine interest in the restaurant!' Kagura scolded herself as she walked towards her car.

 

Her metal berating was cut short as she heard her cell phone ring. Thinking that it surely was Kagome who was anxious to find out how the meeting went and eager to release some of her frustration, Kagura quickly picked up.

 

“Kagura where are you? And what have you been doing?” She heard the smooth and velvety voice of her beloved Sesshomarou ask her.

 

“And a hello to you too honey. Let me guess the next question will be `what are you wearing'? You know Sessh I never would have thought you were into phone sex. If you give me thirty minutes, I can drive home, and immerse myself in a hot rose flavored bubble bath. This and your sexy voice, just what I would need after such a shitty day” Kagura said wrestling with her car keys, her cell phone, her large folder and her purse to open her car door.

 

At her words Sesshomarou pictured his wind witch wantonly lying in a bubble bath, her dark damp hair framing her face, the rose scented bubbles letting his adoring eyes catch glimpses of her tantalizing fair skin… As he felt a certain part of his anatomy stiffen, he started energetically shaking his head to fight down the delicious mental image. The dog demon said forcefully “Answer wind witch, you are trying this Sesshomarou's patience”.

 

“You're no fun you know. Where was I? I just had some business meeting. Nothing important” She downplayed her meeting with Shishinki, she was sure Sesshomarou was going to have a fit about it, and she really did not want to deal with it at the moment.

 

“Some business meeting?” He echoed on a low threatening tone. “What were you doing with Shishinki Ryukotsusei? And answer truthfully this time. Lies and deceit are things I shall not tolerate from you” He spat angrily.

 

`How in the hell did he find out?!' Was the first thing Kagura thought as she sat in the driver's seat. She was too distraught to drive, therefore did not start the car.

 

“How did you…Do you have people following me?!” Kagura asked her boyfriend incredulously, not bothering to answer his previous question. Kagura then looked around trying to spot some old demon wearing a trench coat, hiding somewhere while spying on her with binoculars. For some reason, she could picture Sesshomarou ordering his little imp Jaken, to keep an eye on her.

 

“Do not make this about me. I asked you before and gave you several opportunities to reveal the truth to me and each time you failed to be honest” Sesshomarou hissed.

 

`That's why he sounded so weird on the phone last time!' Kagura realizing this could have smacked herself. By hearing Sesshomarou's strained voice, she could tell that he was now wrestling with his self control.

 

“Answer my question then I will answer yours” She then said stubbornly.

 

“I would never hire people to follow you. But I do have spies working at Ryu bank. Shishinki's secretary for example. Once she saw that this Sesshomarou's girlfriend was secretly meeting with my business rival, she at least accurately thought wisely to inform me of it. As soon as you left Ryukotsusei's office, she called me.” Sesshomarou explained.

 

“I wasn't secretly meeting with him! It's just that I thought he was interested in my restaurant.” Kagura defended herself.

 

“But you knowingly did not tell me about your `business meeting' because you knew I had forbidden you to see Ryukotsusei again!” Sesshomarou bellowed on a tone of voice that sent shivers down Kagura's spine, but not the kind of shivers she would want to feel when talking to her boyfriend.

 

“Wow wait, back up a second. You don't get to forbid me to do anything! I am free Sessh and I can see who I want, when I want. You are neither my father nor my master you're my boyfriend. You get to warn me or recommend something, but you sure as hell don't get to tell me what I can do!” Kagura corrected him, screaming too.

 

“Trivial matters. Let me rephrase: I recommended you not to see this damned dragon anymore. Yet you did not listen to my advice” The dog demon said forcing himself to calm down.

 

Sighing heavily as at the moment the last thing she wanted was to fight with her lover Kagura said rubbing her forehead as she could fweel a headache coming “I guess you'll be happy to know that I was wrong…and you were right and I should have listened to you. Ryukotsusei is a real bastard and he was not interested in my restaurant but rather in me spying on you. Which of course I refused to do, it's all so ridiculous and crazy. I mean you have spies informing you of what Shishinki does and he tried to hire me to spy on you. You two take this whole rivalry thing to the next level”

 

“Kagura this isn't about rivalry. Ryukotsusei is a dangerous man, stay away from him. I had warned you against this cursed dragon before, and you refused to heed my words, but now I do more than recommend. Stay away from him Kagura, I mean it.” Sesshomarou took a small pause before adding “Trust is something I value highly, and you would do well not to lose my trust...”

 

`Is he threatening me?' Kagura wondered in shock. But the wind sorceress knew she this time was in the wrong, and that Sesshomarou had every right to be angry.

 

“I am sorry. You're right I should have told you, but I guess I knew you would get mad and I figured why tell you if the whole thing was not going to work out anyway? …” Kagura started but Sesshomarou interrupted her.

 

“And tell me wind witch, what would you have done if the deal had been successful? You would have worked with Ryukotsusei behind my back? You would have accepted the money of my rival?” Sesshomarou growled. Not wanting to lose his self control to his inner demon he took deep calming breaths.

 

“No!” Kagura exclaimed shocked he could think such a thing. “I never would have done that! I would have told you by then” she assured him. “But even so that was wrong I should have been honest with you from the start. I don't know what else to tell you. Just go ahead let me have it, I know it was stupid of me” Kagura said with a heavy sigh.

The wind sorceress figured that is she dutifully listened to Sesshomarou lecturing her without protesting as usual, then the dog demon would quickly agree to change the subject and their argument would be done.

 

“You were not stupid. I just do not comprehend your constant need of hiding things from me, it is infuriating. You do not need to go behind my back. I can accept and understand more than you suspect me capable of….You were too trusting of this damned dragon, which I find surprising considering the amount of time it took you to trust me. I am aware that our relationship did not start on the best grounds but I still even wonder if you trust me at all.” Sesshomarou said trying his best to hide the hurt he was feeling.

 

“But it's not the same. I guess I tend to be more trusting when it comes to my business encounters, because it's just business it can't hurt me. Even though now I know better than to trust anyone…” Kagura paused to take a deep breath before adding “But when it comes to my heart…I was hurt before…and badly and I just…I don't want to be hurt again. I know the pain of being used and left behind that's all” Kagura was surprised how much easier it now was to open up her heart to Sesshomarou especially on the phone.

 

“I too know the feeling” Sesshomarou grudgingly admitted. “And I would never do this to you. I can understand your fears, after all caring about someone also means you are willing to take the risk of being hurt or left behind…” he trailed off.

 

The two of them stayed in silence for a long time. Going over Sesshomarou's last words, Kagura thought back to Naraku and Kanna's betrayal and of course about the death of her dear Grandma Kaede, whose dream of opening a restaurant had led her to meeting the man who she was now involved with, Sesshomarou.

 

“I promise not to hide anything from you and be completely honest from now on. How's that?” Kagura asked. She took Sesshomarou's silence for compliance and added “And besides you don't have to worry about me. I'm here to stay and I'm not planning to go anywhere anytime soon. So you're stuck with me, but I'm sure you won't mind, right?” She could not help but add at the end trying to find reassurance in Sesshomarou's feelings.

 

“Indeed, you do make life more interesting after all” He conceded with a small chuckle.

 

“Wow! Was that a compliment? Does that mean I'm forgiven, or will I get punished?” She asked him in amusement, glad to see he had forgiven her.

 

“The last thing I want is for us to argue over someone as despicable as Ryukotsusei. Therefore you are forgiven. “

 

“You don't have to worry about me seeing that bastard anymore. Hell, if I never saw him, it would be too soon.” Kagura said still angry about the dragon demon's `proposal'.

 

“Good. But when it comes to your punishment, I am sure I can think of something” Sesshomarou said suggestively in a husky voice, remembering the previous mental image of Kagura in a bubble bath. “You do need to be punished”.

 

Kagura repressed the urge to chuckle as she identified her boyfriend's sudden and apparent arousal. “And let me guess it will involve me, sexy lingerie, and the immense bed I am sure you have up at your mansion…” She asked innocently. Just as Kagura was about to add more to her little fantasy, but she heard shuffling sounds coming from behind Sesshomarou.

 

“Hold on a second my secretary is calling me” he said before suddenly putting Kagura on hold.

 

`Why does that bitch of Touran always have to ruin everything? Couldn't Sessh tell we were busy, he could have called her back later on anyway.' Kagura thought with a frown.

 

`Hum jealous, are we?' Her inner demon asked in a teasing voice.

 

“Kagura? Sorry about the interruption” Sesshomarou said after a long silence.

 

“It's okay. So where were we?” she asked on a seductive tone.

 

“I am afraid our discussion will have to be cut short. My car has just arrived. I have to go to dinner with a major share holder, and can not afford to make him wait. Sesshomarou said breaking through her budding fantasy.

 

“It's still early over here. You can call me after your dinner.” Kagura told him.

 

“You will be at your brother's party by the time I am done. And afterwards I have to take care of other things, this is what Touran was calling me about. Even if I am not physically there, I still do need to take care of business at the office. Inuyasha simply can not be trusted to be in command in my stead…” Sesshomarou said with an imperceptible sigh.

 

“Oh okay.” Kagura said trying not to let the fact that Sesshomarou would rather work with his secretary over the phone. than call her damper her spirits. She then added “And once again I really am sorry about the whole Ryukotsusei thing, we're cool right? I really did not mean for things to…” Kagura started.

 

“Just as long as you remember to stay away from Shishinki and not to lie to me or hide things anymore we shall be fine.” He interrupted her. “Goodbye Kagura.”

 

“And just as long as you remember that I'm free and have a right to see whoever I want whenever I want” She said sweetly. Hearing him groan she added “Goodbye Sesshy” Kagura then shut her cell phone and took a deep breath. Looking down at her watch she realized she needed to get home in order to get ready for Byakuya and Yura's party.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

After slipping in her short purple tube dress and adjusting her large white belt, Kagura critically looked at herself in the mirror. Intently looking at her breasts she smiled smugly as she thought.

 

`Yura's right these bras do work wonders, my breasts look so much bigger. Maybe I should get one for Kagome…' She thought mischievously.

 

Glancing at her alarm clock resting on her bed side table, Kagura realized how late she was for the party, as she was `supposed' to help setting up.

 

As she was hurriedly putting on her shoes Kagura heard her doorbell ring. Surprised she grabbed her jacket and her purse and hurried to the living room to answer the door.

 

“Miss Kagewaki, I hope I am not interrupting in anyway” a suave male voice greeted her as soon as she opened the front door. It only took Kagura a fraction of a second to recognize who it was but when she did, she almost groaned in exasperation.

 

“Mr. Ryukotsusei what is it that you want now? And yes you are interrupting I actually was on my way out.” She snapped really not in the mood to even try to be polite. The wind sorceress stepped outside next to him, shutting securely the front door of her apartment behind her.

 

She was still mad about the way Shishinki had tried to manipulate her that morning. Also her hair drier had decided to be uncooperative, so she had not been able to heat style her hair, and against Yura's wishes had to tie her hair in her usual bun. Then Kagura's shoes had somehow mysteriously disappeared, and it took her a good twenty minute of crawling on her knees all around her apartment, to remember that the missing purple stilettos had been borrowed by her annoying sister-in law two months ago. In other words the wind sorceress was awfully late, and she really did not want to deal with an annoying dragon demon.

 

“Kagura…can I call you Kagura? It is quite simple; I want to apologize for my behavior this morning. I was too forward and deeply regret my behavior.” He then tried to get a hold of Kagura's hand, but she quickly snatched it away.

 

Chuckling at her antics he added “I heard that my good friend Sesshomarou has been away for quite some time. As a gentleman I was wondering if you did not find yourself lonely and neglected on such a beautiful Friday evening and if that is the case I could keep you company. How about dinner tonight? I can assure you I will make it worthwhile and be on my best behavior. I really feel bad for my outrageous conduct this afternoon and want to make it up to you. Also you could for example present to me in details the idea of a restaurant you have been working on. I find it very interesting and wish to discuss the project in further detail. Even if Sesshomarou was stupid enough not to accept a merger between our banks, maybe you and I could have a profitable merger of some other sort”.

 

Hearing his words Kagura could not help but dissolve in a fit of laughter. She looked at the handsome man wearing an impeccable dark suit, which complimented his dark red eyes, beautiful and long blond hair and fair skin.

 

“Asshole…can I call you asshole? Don't you ever give up? Listen to me carefully and mark my words. I'm not interested in you at all. No amount of money could ever change that and in the future refrain from coming near me, calling me or showing at my workplace or my home again, okay?” Kagura said dryly. Before slipping on her coat and walking past the dragon demon to reach the stairs leading to her apartment complex's parking structure.

 

She had barely made two steps that Ryukotsusei caught her arm and tugged on it to turn her around to face him. Shishinki's usually pleasant facial expression was gone and replaced by one of furry and hatred. He was breathing heavily and his dark red eyes were burning with the intensity of the rage bubbling inside him.

 

“Bitch! Who do you think you are? Just because you are Sesshomarou's latest play thing you think you are too good for me? You will regret that. No woman dares talking to me like that…” the dragon demon hissed grabbing the wind sorceress by the shoulders and shaking her violently before throwing her with force against the wall next to the front door of her apartment.

 

 

 

 

To be continued….I'm so going to be hated for that one he he he!

 

 

 

A/N: Oh snap poor Kagura what will Shishinki do to her? Find out in Getting defensive.

It's kind of weird to say that, but the next update will be next year lol. Probably around the end of the week, since I'm resuming both school and work on Monday, whatever happened to my winter break?!

On another note, I posted a new one shot in my collection Stories of wind and crescent moon, so please go check it out.

 

Summary: No 9 Mistake of the past:AU There is nothing Kagura wants more than a family with her husband of eight years, Sesshomarou. But when she learns he has a seven years old daughter and that they have to take her in, will she forgive his mistake of the past?

 

Lastly of course HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (In advance) I hope all your wishes will come true for the New Year! And that you will fulfill all your resolutions (or like me at least try for a month or two before giving up).
