“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

 

“If I have to taste one more piece of cake I think I might just throw up” Kagura said as she put down her fork.

 

“Sorry this goes with the maid of honor and bride's maid job description.” Kagome said beaming before testing a piece of lemon cake.

 

“Remind me again why I signed on…” Kagura whispered in Yura's ear. The hair demoness could not retain a chuckle as she continued texting with her husband who had stayed at home looking after little Kaori.

 

“Anyway Miss grouch I appreciate both of you coming down to the bakery with me this morning. Since Inuyasha refused to pick our wedding cake it's going to be to my taste” Kagome told her two best friends.

 

“Don't thank Kagura, she only came for the free chocolate cake” Yura said teasing her sister in law.

 

“Why you!' Kagura said playfully tapping her demoness sister in-law on the arm.

 

“Stop it you two, you are so childish! I mean to think that Yura, you are a mother and you Kagura a mother to be!” Kagome said on a hard tone.

 

“Wow Kags did you just lecture us? Could it be that the `Bridezilla phenomenon' is not a myth?” Yura asked feigning fear.

 

“Looks like you don't remember your own wedding! Gods you were a real slave driver.” Kagura said reminiscing.

 

“Ladies are you ready for some more?” The owner of the bakery asked as she brought to the three dark haired women's table, a tray filled to the brink with cake slices. Kagura muffled a groan of exasperation as she noticed Kagome's excitement.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Yes father I am on my way there. I have not forgotten my promise. I only have to take care of something `personal' before hand.” Sesshomarou said with irritation.

 

“Thank you son I really appreciate it and also…” Touga started but was interrupted by his wife “And it would do you some good to get out of the house, and go shopping…”

 

“That was Izayoi” Sesshomarou commented “Is this Sesshomarou on speaker?” he asked holding back a curse.

 

“Well…Yes” Touga said “You see when you called we were busy in my office working on…on…” the older dog demon stammered.

 

“The list of guest for your brother's wedding” Izayoi quickly supplied.

 

“I am hanging up” Sesshomarou said cutting off the communication. He really did not want to think about his father and mother in law doing whatever they were really `doing' in Touga's office. After all Sesshomarou knew that Kagome had finalized the list of guests for the wedding more than two weeks ago…

 

As his car came to a halt at a red light Sesshomarou drummed his fingers on the wheel waiting for the light to turn green. Due to boredom the dog demon looked out his window to the street walk opposite from his side of the boulevard.

 

From a far he saw a group of three young women coming out of what seemed to be a bakery. They were too far away and with the passing cars, the dog demons could not really see their faces but something with these women especially the one on the far left side was attracting his eye. Just as the women were going to step out of the shade to cross the street and therefore allow him to see them fully and their faces clearly, Sesshomarou heard the aggressive and incessant honking sound of the cars behind him. With an exasperated growl the dog demon started his car and left.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“What's wrong? Is it the baby?” Kagome asked Kagura alarmed as she noticed the wind sorceress had stopped walking and was intently looking at the cars driving down the boulevard. What worried Kagome even more was the sudden lack of color on Kagura's face.

 

“No…I just thought… I saw Sesshomarou's silver car that's all. Sorry guys” Kagura said as she resumed walking.

 

“Stop beating yourself up, you're going to talk to him tomorrow right?” Yura who was standing in the middle asked hooking her arm under Kagura's.

 

“Yeah” Kagura choked out trying to smile at her friends but failed miserably.

 

“I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought you out today. You should have stayed at home and rested” Kagome told her roommate. The young human was feeling really guilty.

 

“It's okay. I am supposed to go see my lawyer this afternoon anyway” The wind sorceress said instinctively brushing a protective hand over her abdomen, before dropping her hand to her side.

 

“Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier. Byakuya or I would have gone with you. But today Kaori has a check up at three” Yura said frowning at her sister in law.

 

“And Inuyasha has a fitting for his tuxedo today at four. He's such a big baby, he refuses to wear the clothes if I'm not there” Kagome said thoughtfully.

 

“Geez I'm not dying, last time I checked I could still walk by myself. I know I may look different” the wind sorceress interrupted herself to lovingly rest both of her hands on her growing abdomen before adding “but I can still kick ass the same way I used to” Kagura joked at her friend's apparent concern.

 

“Are you sure?” Kagome insisted.

 

“Yep, it's all good. We're just going to talk about how to protect myself from Sesshomarou taking my baby away. Just talking, it's not like I'll make any life altering decisions there…” Kagura reassured them. “Now come on I want to get some food, all this cake did not fill me up one bit!” She then exclaimed stopping in front of Kagome's car.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

After her quite boring meeting with her lawyer Kagura decided to take a stroll in the streets she had missed so much. She was admiring the displays of the shops, when she stopped in front of a store named `Baby and me'. A large smile on her lips, Kagura wasted no time and entered the store.

 

`Some shopping is just what I need to cheer me up. I did promise Kagome not to buy anything for the baby without her…but she won't know if I pick up a little something!' The wind sorceress thought mischievously.

 

`If you hide it better than you hide your Christmas gifts you should be okay…' her inner demon teased.

 

Kagura ignored her inner voice as she walked straight to the toys section. She picked up a few stuffed animals and examined them, paying careful attention to the labels.

 

“Aww this one is so cute!” Kagura heard a pregnant dog demoness say as soon as she stepped into the shop. She had long silver white hair and a very pale skin.

 

After taking in the newcomer's appearance for a long time Kagura idly wondered rubbing her own belly `will the baby have Sesshomarou's silver hair? If it's a girl she might just look like this woman. Funny she looks to be around the same stage as me in her pregnancy'.

 

The wind sorceress continued her shopping and smiled as she picked up a small baby blue blanket covered with little white feathers. She instantly fell in love with the article and walked back to the front of the store to purchase it. But just as she neared the cash register she stopped dead in her tracks as she heard the shop clerk say:

 

“Should I again put your purchase on Mr. Tashio's card?” The cashier then added “your business is always appreciated, thank you again.”

 

“No thank you so much!” The silver haired pregnant demoness Kagura had just been admiring a few minutes earlier said smiling brightly as she picked up her shopping bags.

 

`Was she talking about Sesshomarou? Don't be ridiculous, Tashio is a common surname…right?' Kagura told herself as she resumed her walk to the cash register.

 

`Actually no it's not' her inner demon could not help but remark.

 

As Kagura gave the cashier the blanket and a cute stuffed toy she had picked up for her niece, the wind sorceress heard the front door of the store open once more. It was soon followed by the voice of the young anonymous silver haired demoness who said:

 

“Sesshy you absolutely have to see what I bought for the baby”

 

`It can't be! She can't be talking to Sesshomarou' Kagura told herself as she refused to turn around, too afraid to see who the newcomer might be.

 

“Shiori, you are truly foolish. Why you insist on picking such ridiculous gifts for a child half strong in the noble Tashio family blood is ludicrous” a cold and grave voice said.

 

The voice, the tone, the mix of arrogance and disdain it was all there and Kagura knew who exactly was standing just a few feet away from her. All of a sudden Kagura felt her heart start racing wildly, her palms become sweaty and her breathing quicken.

 

“Maybe but it's because of my foolishness that you love me! Besides the baby is going to need plenty of nice things if she is going to have to deal with people like you!” the anonymous woman now identified as Shiori said. The rest of their conversation was lost to Kagura, as the two of them stepped outside of the store.

Not able to take the suspense any longer, Kagura turned around and cried out as she saw Shiori's arm hooked around Sesshomarou's arm as she rested her head against his arm. Luckily for the wind sorceress the two of them were not facing her. She tried to think about how she could step out of the store without Sesshomarou seeing her. But unfortunately, he and Shiori were still standing in front of the door and only exit of the store. They seemed to be waiting for something, which Kagura inferred to be their car. The two silver haired dog demons appeared not to be ready to move from their spot on the street walk anytime soon.

 

“Hum ma'am?” the young cashier asked Kagura.

 

The wind sorceress winced as she remembered that she was supposed to pay for her two articles. She quickly turned around and fished her wallet out. Kagura paid absent mindedly, she did her best not to break down and cry, but she figured she had not been doing a good job because the cashier asked her concerned

 

“Are you okay ma'am?” the young man then readjusted his glasses in an uncomfortable gesture. Ever since he had started working at the baby store he had seen his share of hormone crazed pregnant women, but the haggard look on Kagura's face unsettled and scared him.

 

“Yes thank you” she said grabbing her plastic bag. To her relief Kagura saw that Shiori and Sesshomarou were gone as she stepped out of the store. She quickly wanted to make her way to her car, eager to get home and process all the unsettling information she had just come across. But she had not made three steps that she heard a voice say behind her:

 

“Kagura, so this Sesshomarou was not mistaken”.

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

 

 

A/N: I know I know, what was that? But I told you they would SEE each other and I kept my promise lol! And anyway the story needed another little cliffy…no? In the next chapter we'll see who the mysterious Shiori is and her relationship to Sesshomarou, we will also find out Sesshy's reaction to Kagura's pregnancy. Accordingly the chapter will be named THE confrontation. I will try to update as fast as possible, so don't hate me! ^_^

 

Please also go check out the new one shot I added to my collection Stories of wind and crescent moon it's called `The other woman'.

 

Summary: When Kagura met him, he was all she had ever wanted and she fell in love hard and fast. The only problem? He is married.
