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

 

 

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

“Asshole…can I call you asshole? 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 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 Shishinki 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 Kagura by the shoulders and shaking Kagura violently before throwing her with force against the wall next to the front door of her apartment.

 

With a resonating thud, the back of Kagura's head came in contact with the cream colored wall. She cried out in pain as white lights exploded behind her eyes. Kagura breathed deeply after the impact, trying to reduce the headache she could feel coming. Trying to regain her footing she unmated her back from the wall, and quickly brought her shaking right hand to see if the blow had drawn blood. Noticing no warm sticky substance and realizing that probably, just a small bump would form, Kagura silently thanked the Gods for being born a full blooded demoness and therefore being able to withstand blows such as this without much damage. Despite the pain she felt, she refused to give Ryukotsusei the satisfaction of knowing he had hurt her. So it was with a firm voice that she spoke.

 

“Bastard!” Kagura said as she used her second hand to gently massage her aching neck. She then very slowly slipped her right hand down from the top of her head to the side of her belt without Ryukotsusei noticing, the dragon demon was in fact, too busy screaming at her to pay attention to her movements.

 

“You know you're not the first and you won't be the last. Sesshomarou likes picking up girls making them all pretty, kind of like a makeover for a charity case. If one of these pathetic girls is lucky enough she catches my attention. Then if she is smart enough I may take her. Just like I did with Hitomi Kawada how do you think she got her clothing line? By her own talent? Or better yet guess who backed Ayumi Kousuke when she wanted a job at the Mayor's office?…All these “supposedly talented” bitches are there because I placed them there. And of course they had to demonstrate their talents in my bed first, which I was told my dear friend Sesshomarou refuses to do. If only he knew what he was missing on....You know these women had to show how useful they could be to me before I helped them, which you refused to do. I could have done so much for you too, but you, Kagura think you are different? You think you are too good for me? You think that you are too special, don't you Kagura?” The dragon demon asked taking a step closer to the wind sorceress.

 

“You piece of shit! Don't you get any closer to me! And don't you dare touch me again.” Kagura spat.

 

“Do not be mistaken I will do much more than merely touching you” He said with a dark chuckle before extending his hand in her direction, aiming for her neck. But what Shishinki was not expecting was for Kagura to whip her fan open in front of her. The wind sorceress was grateful to have tucked her fan in her belt. One of the major self defense advices her brother had given her `if you go out by yourself, better have your fan close by'.

 

“Have you ever been ripped to shreds by a `Dance of blades' coming from a wind demoness? I can assure you it's pretty painful, especially if she is as pissed as I am right now!” Kagura said looking straight into Shishinki's eyes. She started making faint movements with her fan, making the winds swell around her in a protective manner. The winds she called forth also started slowly pushing back Ryukotsusei.

 

“You wouldn't dare touch me! I would have my lawyers rip you to shreds” The dragon said confidently, even if he did pull away his clawed hand. Even if his facial expression did not show it, the dragon demon was amazed by the force of the winds pushing him backwards. Who knew wind could provide such resistance?

 

“Is that so? Looks like you don't know me very well. I'll just say it was self defense.” Kagura said smirking, as she twitched her fan, whispering a quick “Fujin no mai”.

 

The action caused a small wind blade to graze the skin of Ryukotsusei's flawless cheek, vibrant red blood oozed from the small wound. Kagura could have inflicted more damage, but had decided to control the pressure of her blade, making sure not to leave a deep wound on the demon. After all she merely wanted to warn him, not to mess with her anymore.

 

“In these hard economic times I wonder what a newspaper would do with a piece of information such as `Young art teacher pressing charges against CEO of Ryu bank for assault, and asks for a restraining order because he is a fucking creepy stalker!'” Kagura hissed at him, positioning her fan for another attack.

 

“You wouldn't dare!” Ryukotsusei said angrily. As much as he was angry at Kagura, he was not going to have his flawless public image hurt due to her.

 

“Try me” Kagura answered back cockily, raising her fan higher to mask half of her face, a triumphant and confident grin placed on her cherry lips.

 

“You win for now wind bitch. But you better pray not to cross my path again or I'll be sure to crush you.” Ryukotsusei said wiping the blood from his cheek in pure disgust. The dragon demon then sent Kagura a vicious glare and without another word he quickly left.

 

As soon as he was out of her sight, Kagura took a deep breath and let it out in a shaky breath. With a trembling hand she put her fan back into her purse.

 

`That was close, a little too close' Kagura thought as she allowed herself a minute to calm down from the whole ordeal.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Are you sure you're okay? You don't look too good” Byakuya asked his little sister with a frown on his face.

 

“He's right Kagura you look rather pale, and you're a little warm” Yura said resting her hand on Kagura's forehead. “Let me inspect your hair” she added as she tried to take a hold of one of her sister in law's lock of raven hair. Being a hair demoness Yura was able to assess someone's health by simply inspecting his or her hair.

 

“Hell no! I'm okay! The only thing that made me sick is this chicken Yura cooked. I thought you said you were taking cooking classes? Your kid is going to be so glad to have Kagome as an aunt; at least her cooking is great.” Kagura said as she evaded Yura's questioning fingers.

 

She had not told anyone about her previous encounter with Shishinki and was not going to breathe a word of it. Not to her friends and especially not to Sesshomarou, as she was sure that if her boyfriend was ever to find out that the dragon demon had dared to harm her in anyway, Sesshomarou would track him down and make him pay dearly.

 

“Whatever in a little over three months, I will have a beautiful fire demon baby with whose red perfect hair, I will be able to play as much as I want” Yura said with a pout.

 

“Aww, you know you can play with my hair anytime you want” Byakuya said mischievously as he winked mischievously to his wife”.

 

“Eww gross you guys, I told you before I don't want to know what you do behind closed doors. Why does everyone insist on letting me know about their sex life anyway?!” Kagura said shaking her head in disgust as she walked towards Kagome.

 

The young human was sitting on the Kagewaki family's living room couch and was rolling her untouched wine glass between her hands. Her face was contorted in a frown and she appeared to be deep in thoughts.

 

“Hey” Kagura said as she sat next to her friend. As she took in Kagome's unusually silence and calm behavior she asked “what's wrong? Don't tell me you're mad because of that bastard of Ryukotsusei. I mean who cares? We can have someone else to back us up”. Remembering her previous encounter with the dragon demon, Kagura could not help but massage her neck, where due to his blow she felt some soreness.

 

“Sorry but the restaurant is the furthest thing on my mind right now… Something's up with Inuyasha. I don't know, it's like he's been avoiding me or something.” Kagome said in a small voice. “Maybe he doesn't love me as much as I thought. Maybe he's still in love with his ex? He did spend a long time in a relationship with Kikyou. And you know, I think they still often talk on the phone. Inuyasha denies it, he tells me he isn't seeing Kikyou at all anymore, but I'm sure he's lying”

 

“Cut the pity party. I'm sure he's just been busy; there are issues at the bank. I should know I haven't seen Sessh ever since we got back from Paris”.

 

“I guess you're right, but you know this morning I called Inuyasha because I wanted to have breakfast with him and he said that he had plans with Miroku and his wife Sango. But then while I was out shopping with Mama I saw both Miroku and Sango together. When I asked him about Inuyasha, Miroku said he had not seen him since yesterday. You know, maybe Inuyasha is cheating on me, maybe he went back to Kikyou…I tried to call him and ask him if he wanted to ride here to the party with me, but he did not even answer his damn phone” Kagome trailed off as she felt a lump form in her throat and hot tears prickling her eyes.

 

Kagura nervously bit her lip, as much as she wanted to comfort her friend, she could not tell her that Inuyasha came to see her and asked her opinion about him asking Kagome in marriage.

 

“Don't be ridiculous, the idiot loves you. You should see his eyes light up when he looks at you. Besides by the looks he's giving you right now I am sure that Kikyou is very far from his mind” Kagura mused as she turned towards the half demon, who had just entered the room.

 

Following the wind sorceress' ruby gaze Kagome saw her boyfriend standing in front of the front door next to Sango and Miroku who was handing Yura a flower bunch. Kagome then smiled brightly before getting up, setting her wine glass aside and running into Inuyasha's arms screaming his name. If it were not for his demonic senses, she surely would have taken him by surprise and knocked him to the ground. But of course, Inuyasha caught her effortlessly.

 

“I missed you so much!” Kagome exclaimed.

 

“Keh! Wench what are you blabbering about? We just saw each other yesterday” he said blushing slightly, the only proof of how her words had affected him.

 

“Yeah, well you did not answer my phone call. I thought that you went to see her” Kagome said letting go of Inuyasha.

 

Seeing Inuyasha's clueless face, Kagura decided to intervene “so, Inuyasha, it's so good to see you. Tell me, don't you have something for Kagome?” The wind sorceress then made quick work of dragging Miroku and Sango with her as she joined Yura and Byakuya in the kitchen, in order to leave the two love birds together.

 

“Yeah well, I was coming to that. Give me a minute would ya?!” Inuyasha said defensively to the quickly retreating wind sorceress, he then turned around to face Kagome “Oh…hum…yeah. Kagome there's something I want to ask you” Inuyasha struggled to let out.

 

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

 

 

A/N: What will Kagome answer to Inuyasha's marriage proposal? Will Kagura and Sesshy be able to see more of each other? Was this the last we ever will see of Ryukotsusei? In the next chapter Kagura realizes she forgot to take care of something really important…find out what in Questions.

 

I will post the next chapter either Thursday or Friday (yes yes you can rejoice). It doesn't mean we're back to the old two updates/week, it's just that I really am eager to write the next one! Another reason is that I felt like this chapter was a little short.

 

Also I posted another one shot in my collection Stories of wind and crescent moon, so go check it out.

 

SUMMARY: Friends with benefit: There were three rules to their friendship: Be each others best friend. Have sex whenever they wanted. Not to get romantically attached. What happened when Kagura broke the third rule?
