“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

“Well I guess I'll see you later.” Kagura said with a careless shrug as they stopped in front of her car. She felt quite awkward and did not know what to do or how to react.

 

“You are not driving. Now give me the keys wind witch.” Sesshomarou said extending his hand.

 

“How are you going to get home?” She asked him, reluctant to let him take her home.

 

“The fact that you worry over this Sesshomarou's well being moves me. But do not worry I shall call Suikotsu, by the time I safely take you home, he will be done with Shiori's pointless errands.” Sesshomarou said as he gently pried the keys out of Kagura's hands, ever careful of his sharp claws.

 

“I've been wondering. How come you're looking after her?” Kagura asked referring to Sesshomarou's cousin. If Sesshomarou was to drive her home, at least she figured the two of them could start talking again.

 

“Simple. Her `boyfriend' and father of her child to be, is a weak sorry excuse of a human. He is pathetic and can not be trusted to take care properly of Shiori. Therefore being the future head of the family, it is my duty to look after my cousin.” Sesshomarou said with a scowl before rounding Kagura's car and stopping in front of the passenger door.

 

“I see. Well you I can take care of myself, which means drive myself too!” Kagura asked frowning.

 

“Stop wasting time and get inside this dreadful thing you call a car” The dog demon retorted before opening the doors of her small vehicle.

 

Knowing full well that arguing with Sesshomarou would be pointless, Kagura shook her head and stepped into the passenger seat of her own car. She buckled up and waited for the dog demon to drive her home.

 

As he started the car and drove in the direction of Kagura and Kagome's apartment, Sesshomarou kept stealing glances at the wind sorceress. Her left hand was resting on her swollen abdomen, while the other was drumming her claws on her thigh in an impatient gesture. Her scarlet eyes were rived on the window as she intently refused to look in his direction.

 

`Why did I say that to her? Who am I kidding? I will never be able to stay away from Kagura and just remain friends.' Sesshomarou told himself.

 

`Then why don't you just forgive her already?I am sure she feels bad about what happened.' His inner demon asked.

 

`I have already forgiven the witch.' Sesshomarou remarked.

 

`Then what's the problem? Don't tell me you're not attracted by her anymore' His inner voice mocked.

 

`That is not the issue. Even from here I can make out her delicious and appealing jasmine scent, and the fact that she now carries my scent only makes it even harder to resist her. I can remember the feel and taste of her delicious red lips and the feel of her skin against mine and not to mention that sinfully appealing red feather tattooed on her lower back. I do wonder how her naked body looks now, with her new curves...' Sesshomarou shook his head to rid himself of the tempting lustful images he was having.

 

`So you do want the witch back!' His inner demon exclaimed triumphantly.

 

`I never denied this fact.' Sesshomarou remarked with a scowl. `Of course I want her, and not merely in a sexual way. If only the problem was merely the sexual attraction… But it is unfortunately much more than lust. Getting rid of such an emotion would be easy, only a matter of her spending a few nights in my bed but I know it is more than that. The past months without Kagura have felt so… empty. A void I am now aware only she could fill'

 

`You do realize that it is only up to you to fill this “void”?' His inner demon mocked. `Do you hear yourself? What is the matter with you? She is carrying your child and you already admitted you want her. It is not in your nature to give up on something especially when you want it as bad as you want Kagura…'

 

Sesshomarou let out a small sigh as he let his inner demon's words sink in. The dog demon then cast a glance towards Kagura who was unaware of his inner turmoil.

 

Seeing the far away look on Kagura's face, and not knowing that it was due to her confusing feelings towards him rather than as he inferred her annoyance at being in his presence, Sesshomarou tried to reason himself.

 

`No! Kagura and I can not work. I made the right choice. I am sure Kagura shares the same opinion as well, otherwise she would have objected. In any case, this Sesshomarou is not fickle I have made my decisions and I intend to stick to it.' Sesshomarou told himself trying to strengthen his resolve.

 

`Are you sure? You don't sound very confident to me. I find it strange that after all you have been through, despite all you were willing to sacrificefor her, you would give up on Kagura now.' His inner demon remarked before adding `Besides it's not too late to change your mind. I am sure her feelings for you are still there. Maybe she's just afraid of telling you how she feels…?'

 

`Kagura and I have hurt each other too much already. It is impossible to go back and right our wrong. Therefore we must forget about the past or `what could have been' and focus on the future. Lingering on the past would be a waste of time, which is a luxury we can not afford considering that the birth of the child should be in four months or so. Besides even if I had doubts, which I do not, the witch's lack of indication towards a desire to resume our relationship is proof enough that I have made the right decision.' Sesshomarou then nodded satisfied to have somewhat cleared his mind of doubt.

 

`Do not tell me youare afraid of being hurt again! I'm sure the witch learnt her lesson, and wouldn't do anything to wrong you again. And by the way you didn't answer my question. And based on what you said,does it mean that was Kagura to show any inclination towards resuming your relationship, you would accept?' Sesshomarou's inner demon could not help but ask.

 

The dog demon knew exactly what his inner demon was: The part of himself that wanted nothing more than to give into his desires and follow his natural instinct to reconcile with his wind sorceress in order to mate her and provide for their child. Instead of simply and easily giving into his basic demon instincts, Sesshomarou stayed inconspicuously silent.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Why does everyone insist on doing that? I'm pregnant not crippled! Besides I'm a demoness and that is as light as a feather.” Kagura said in exasperation as Sesshomarou pried her plastic bags containing the baby blanket and toy she had bought earlier from her hands.

 

Sesshomarou did not bother commenting as he walked up to her apartment building. She snorted, but did not say another word.

 

As they reached the door of her apartment, Kagura started rummaging in her purse, looking for her keys. But before she could find them, the green door was flung open.

 

“She's here guys!” A red and puffy eyed Kagome screamed as she encircled Kagura in a bone crushing hug.

 

“What the hell?” The wind sorceress asked as she was dragged by the young priestess inside their apartment. Kagura was shocked to see that Yura who was cradling her daughter in her arms, Byakuya and even Inuyasha were sitting their eyes rived on her.

 

“What's going on?” Kagura asked surprised by the look of worry on everyone's face.

 

“Damn it Kagura! We tried calling you a thousand times. We were worried sick about you!” Byakuya said glaring at his sister.

 

“You were supposed to get home straight after your meeting with your lawyer” her sister in law scolded her.

 

“Oh crap sorry guys, I just remembered I forgot to charge my cell phone's battery ever since I got back. Sorry… I just lost track of time” Kagura defended herself.

 

“And doing what?” Kagome asked wiping her wet cheeks.

 

“No need to worry she was with me” Sesshomarou said.

 

Everyone but Inuyasha had been too preoccupied with scolding Kagura to notice that Sesshomarou had stepped in. The half demon shot his older brother a small satisfied smile. Inuyasha was glad to see that Sesshomarou had come back to his senses. The hanyou was also immensely relieved not to have to lie to Sesshomarou anymore.

 

No sooner had Sesshomarou done talking that Byakuya stepped towards him. In a fraction of a second the dark haired youkai raised his fist and punched Sesshomarou square in the jaw. Everyone gasped and Kagura had a look of shock and surprise on her face.

 

Sesshomarou raised a finger to his blooded lip but said and did nothing.

 

“Are you going to just stand there? Defend yourself!” Byakuya screamed throwing another punch towards Sesshomarou. The dog demon stopped the coming blow with absolutely no effort. He took a hold of the dark haired demon's hand, his iron lock preventing Byakuya from moving a muscle in his trapped limb.

 

Gritting his teeth in frustration, Byakuya was ready to land another punch with his free hand, but his sister quickly grabbed his arm, preventing him from moving. Seeing Kagura's surprised, concerned and scared facial expression, Sesshomarou quickly released the hold he had remained on Byakuya's right fist.

 

The wind sorceress took advantage of her brother's surprise to quickly make her way to Sesshomarou. She inspected his injured lip by gingerly running her fingers along it and grimaced at the sight of Sesshomarou's blood. Kagura then turned towards her brother with blazing red eyes.

 

“What the fuck did you do that for?!” She asked.

 

“The bastard deserved it!” Byakuya retorted. In Byakuya's opinion for the pain he had caused his little sister Sesshomarou deserved more than a bloodied and bruised lip, and he was ready to inflict on him all the pain he deserved if only Kagura would move from between them…

 

Noticing that her brother had once more raised his fist, ready to attack again Kagura took Sesshomarou's hand and lead him towards the kitchen “I am so sorry Sessh. Just ignore that over protective moron! Come on let's get you cleaned up”.

 

Walking past their friend's and family surprised faces, the two of them made their way to the kitchen. Sesshomarou sat on one of the stools and using a tissue wiped his mouth, while Kagura looked all over the freezer to find something to apply on her love's lip. With a triumphant smile she approached him with a bag of frozen peas.

 

“That will not be necessary” Sesshomarou said pointing towards Kagura's hand.

 

“Don't be such a baby, it will make you feel better.” Kagura said trying to apply the bag of frozen vegetables to Sesshomarou's lip. He gently batted her hand away and glared at her, which just made Kagura laugh. As she started laughing harder, Sesshomarou could not prevent a smile of his own. The wind sorceress realized how she had missed simply spending time with Sesshomarou. After coming down, shaking her head in resignation, Kagura put the vegetables back in the freezer.

 

“So, why didn't you avenge yourself?” She casually asked him as she sat down next to him.

 

Kagura just smiled at Sesshomarou's lack of answer. She knew that had he wanted to, Sesshomarou would have been able to beat the crap out of her brother. Byakuya may be over protective and sometimes irritating, but she was glad that the dog demon had decided not to retaliate. Kagura inferred that the reason why he had not was that Sesshomarou did not want her to be caught in the middle of a fight between her ex lover and her brother.

 

“Oops I forgot about that. Let me put it in my room” Kagura said as she took the plastic bag from Sesshomarou. The wind sorceress then walked out of the kitchen, but halfway to her bedroom she turned around and asked Sesshomarou who was still following her ”What are you doing?”.

 

“Following you” he stated as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

 

“Why?!” Kagura asked in shock.

 

Sesshomarou did not bother answering as he kept on walking. Due to his sense of smell finding her bedroom was no trouble at all. The reason for the dog demon's behavior was that he wanted to see Kagura's bedroom, as he knew it would tell him a lot about het personality. In truth he was just plainly curious, not that he would ever admit it.

 

As soon as he stepped foot in Kagura's room, the dog demon wondered if his curiosity had not been a mistake. His sensitive nose was suddenly brutally assaulted with the delicious sweet jasmine scent of Kagura. It was as if her bedroom was a concentrate of her scent. The experience only made the dog demon want to hug Kagura close and bury his nose in her hair, to feast on her scent directly. To the dog demon that he was, there was nothing more enticing than this idea.

 

Cursing as she remembered there was something in her room she really did not want Sesshomarou to see Kagura tried to hurry and walk past the dog demon. But once she reached her bedroom she realized she had been too late.

 

Hearing Kagura walk up in the room behind him, Sesshomarou made quick work of pushing aside his ideas of sniffing her. His piercing golden gaze then made a speedy survey of the room around him. To his surprise something immediately caught his attention.

 

“What is this?” Sesshomarou asked as he stood in the middle of Kagura's room, eyes rived on Kagura's desk

 

“It's nothing really…” Kagura tried to downplay the embarrassing situation.

 

“Did you make it?” he asked her.

 

“Hum…yeah” she reluctantly admitted.

 

“It is…pleasing.” Sesshomarou commented turning towards Kagura.

 

“Thanks I guess” she said placing her baby articles on her bed.

 

“When did you make it?” Sesshomarou asked next.

 

“Well, it was a part of the pieces I made during the art seminar I attended. I enrolled for it last year but I was accepted two weeks before your return. I wasn't planning to go, but I changed my mind… at the last second. The formation lasted three months. I just got back two days ago.”

 

Sesshomarou silently sat next to her waiting for Kagura to keep on explaining where she had disappeared to.

 

“So this is where you were.” he said casually pretending to be uninterested.

 

“Yeah… the formation was in a small town in the country. It's kind of far away but, it's a quiet and beautiful place. I needed the peace and time to think… And to be honest I wanted to be away from you …but as you can see you never left my mind” Kagura said with a sigh.

 

“Is that necessarily a bad thing?” Sesshomarou asked surprised. He wondered if Kagura had too felt the emptiness he had experienced during the months they had been apart.

 

`So she did not just disappear and forget me. She has been thinking about me. Maybe my previous assumptions were wrong.' The dog demon thought. To his surprise the realization made a feeling of happiness spread through him.

 

Banishing his straying thought, Sesshomarou once more averted his golden eyes to look at the incredibly accurate painting of a portrait of him placed on Kagura's desk. She had managed to capture with the painting both his apparent cold demeanor as well as his expressive eyes. The depiction was perfect, from the stripes to the crescent moon adoring his forehead. Sesshomarou did mentally note with a smirk that he appeared to be shirtless on the portrait since he could not see any collar around the neck.

 

“You are talented” he whispered truly amazed.

 

“I think we should get back to the others, otherwise Kagome and Yura are going to have a fit” Kagura said wanting to change the topic, as she walked back to the living room. Talking about her artistic skills always made her a little uncomfortable, especially when Sesshomarou was the one paying her compliments…

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“So you and Kagura…” Inuyasha trailed off as he easily effectuated a right turn with his Mercedes.

 

“The situation is none of your concern” Sesshomarou retorted to his brother.

 

The only reason the dog demon had asked his brother to drive him home, instead of waiting for Suikotsu, was that Sesshomarou had had enough of the murderous glares Byakuya was sending him. It had taken the dog demon all of his self control not to get up and beat up Kagura's older brother. Unfortunately Sesshomarou knew that in her condition the last thing Kagura needed was to suffer from stress due to having to break up a fight between her brother and the father of her child to be.

 

“An upset Kagura upsets Kagome, which in turn pisses me off. So actually it is my concern. Besides if you're going to annoy me with your sour mood because of your girl troubles, I think that I'm concerned...” Inuyasha grumbled as an answer.

 

Noticing his brother's foul mood, Inuyasha decided to lighten up the atmosphere with a nice jab. “Keh! The old man is going to freak out. Ever since he gave us `the talk' he always figured I would be the one to father a child out of wedlock. Who knew nice and proper Sesshy had it in him to knock his girlfriend up?”

 

“Kagura is not my girlfriend!” Sesshomarou retorted a little too quickly and more heatedly than he would have liked. To his horror the dog demon realized that the tone of voice he had used made him sound angry and resentful.

 

The older of the two Tashio brothers was unsure how his father would react to the matter, but he could care less. On the other hand, he was convinced, Rin, whose opinion did matter to him, would be ecstatic, therefore Sesshomarou was really not all that troubled.

 

“And this is where the problem lies, isn't? But who can blame ya? If I had gotten the girl I love pregnant I`d want to be with her too” Inuyasha said with a shrug.

 

“Do not presume to talk about what you do not know of” The elder of the two said sternly. Inuyasha's words rang a little too close to Sesshomarou's own previous line of thought.

 

“Feh! Always knew you were a cold bastard. Wonder why Kagura's been feeling all pathetically miserable over you for the past months. Kagome was all worried about Kagura because of that.” Inuyasha said.

 

Sesshomarou was truly surprised by his brother's seemingly casual remark. True he would have guessed that Kagura would have been upset during the past months, but to the point of being `pathetically miserable'?

 

Not wanting to think about the depth of Kagura's feelings towards him, Sesshomarou wondered if like Kagome who was worried about her friend, Inuyasha had been worried about him too. The elder brother then realized that there might have been another reason than their father's inquiries behind Inuyasha's frequent visits at his home during the past weeks.

 

“Inuyasha, did you know of the child?” Sesshomarou suddenly asked his younger brother.

 

The half demon suddenly felt uneasy, and to be honest with himself a little apprehensive of his brother's reaction to what he was about to reveal. “Yeah I've known for a while. I would have told ya… but I swore to Kagome and... you know I felt like Kagura should be the one to tell you… so…” Inuyasha trailed off concentrating on the road in front of me. As Sesshomarou's massive mansion came into sight, the half demon could not stifle a sigh of relief.

 

“I see.” Sesshomarou simply answered. As much as lashing his anger and frustration at his brother due to the fact that him, the father had been the last to know about his child's existence, Sesshomarou knew that it would bring to naught.

 

“Do not trouble yourself over it” Was all Sesshomarou answered as he exited his brother's car and headed towards his home.

 

Inuyasha looked at his brother's disappearing silhouette in astonishment.

 

`Damn what's up with him? Sessh didn't even threaten or beat me! He sounded even nice' Inuyasha thought with a shiver of fright running down his spine due to the oddity of the situation. `Maybe this whole situation is harder on him than I thought it would be' Inuyasha thought sadly, before starting his car and driving away.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Okay start spilling” Yura said after drinking a bit of her coffee.

 

Kagura almost groaned in exasperation. She knew that when her friends had suggested they go have breakfast at their usual coffee shop, they really intended to question her. The wind sorceress had been vey successful at dodging their questions the previous night, as soon as Sesshomarou and her had joined the rest of the group, they had all tried to get answers. But Kagura feigned to be exhausted and had quickly gone to bed immediately after Sesshomarou had taken his leave.

 

“There's nothing much to tell…” Kagura said biting into her beloved and highly missed chocolate croissant.

 

“She's kidding right?” Kagome asked stunned.

 

“Just yesterday morning the idea of seeing Sesshomarou sent you in tears” Yura said, twirling a strand of short hair around her finger.

 

“That was the hormones, not me!” Kagura corrected with a scowl. “Well, the way Sesshomarou and I met again was a coincidence really. We were both shopping at `Baby and me'…” Kagura started but was interrupted by Yura's gasp of horror.

 

“Did that horny dog get another woman pregnant?” The hair demoness asked in shock.

 

“No and don't call him a horny dog. Only I can get away with that. Anyway as I was saying he was there with his cousin…” this time Kagome interrupted Kagura.

 

“You went shopping without me?!” Kagome cried out with a pout before adding “So you've met Shiori! She's such a sweetheart”

 

“Guys, let me talk. So anyway, Sessh and I talked and now I guess… we're in…kind of a…how may I explain? A transition period” Kagura said sipping on her glass of fruit juice. The thing that caused her the most trouble with her pregnancy was definitely the diet. She could not wait to have her baby so that she could resume drinking her delicious caramel mocha in the morning.

 

“What the hell is a transition period?” Yura asked a scowl on her face.

 

“I think she means that…hum…it's complicated. After all they are going from being lovers to being parents.” Kagome supplied.

 

“Yep it's complicated alright” Yura said with a judgmental snort.

 

“Don't be like that. He wants us to be friends and he wants to help me raise the baby. That's all.” Kagura said.

 

“Okay so that's what Sesshomarou wants. But what about what Kagura wants?” Kagome asked her friend.

 

“I don't know. To be honest yesterday when I saw him again, I was mad and all…but when Sessh held me in his arms it just felt so right, as if everything was really going to be all right from that point on. He got rid of all my fears.” Kagura said trying to make her friends understand some of the confusion she was suffering from.

 

“You know, I think that if Sessh had tried to find me after I left. If I had not left and let all that time go by without us explaining ourselves things would have been different. Sesshomarou and I might even have gotten back together or something.” Kagura said with a dry humorless chuckle. “But at the time I was too mad to think straight and anyway since I didn't really hear from Sessh, it felt to me like he didn't really give a damn about me after all... Damn I really messed up everything between us.”

 

Kagome let out a loud gasp as tears gathered in her eyes.

 

“What is it?” Kagura asked turning a concerned gaze towards her roommate.

 

“I am so sorry Kagura. He did come for you. Sesshomarou... after I came back from the train station after you left I found him waiting in front of our building. When I told him you left… he asked me where you were, but I was so angry… I just. Oh Kagura I am so sorry. Maybe I should have told him where you went.” Kagome said turning apologetic tear filled eyes towards her best friend.

 

Kagome's revelation shook Kagura deeply. She had no idea the dog demon had tried to find her. After all Sesshomarou had only left one stern and seemingly unconcerned voicemail on her phone…

 

“Wow. Don't cry Kagome. You were being a good friend. Anyway I might have skewered you if you had told Sesshomarou where I was.” Kagura said smiling at her friend. The wind sorceress was not entirely sure how to react to her friend's revelation, but she did decide not to give Kagome a hard time about her decision. Kagura could tell that the miko was already feeling very bad about the situation, and did not want to add to her friend's sorrow.

 

`If he came looking for me that means he cares about me. Then why does he want to remain friends? I don't get this guy. Anyway it looks like I was really wrong about him after all' Kagura thought reflecting on Sesshomarou's decision.

 

“So maybe Sesshomarou is not that cold after all…” Kagura mused aloud.

 

“Oh no don't even go there. Either it's the hormones messing up your brain or it's the `old is good effect'.” Yura said with a scowl.

 

Noticing her friends' curious stare Yura added “you know like when you go through your closet and you see these really old clothes and you remember how good you used to look in them and you manage to convince yourself that you could still rock that outfit when seriously you can't”

 

“Okay I think you lost me there” Kagura said.

 

“Well I'm rehearsing my future pep talks for Kaori on you. What I mean is Kagura do you want Sesshomarou back because you want him? Or because you miss the way you used to be together before the whole pregnancy complicated everything. Just like the way I miss the pair of jeans I used to fit in when I was fifteen not because the jeans themselves are cool but because I realize now that I'm not a fifteen year old carefree girl and that my ass is bigger and that I will never get in those jeans again.

 

“Wow you sure have been working on your analogies lately” Kagome said teasing her friend as she finished wiping stray tears from her cheeks.

 

“Guys! Get your attention back on the Kagura love life mess please” The wind sorceress said pointing to herself with big arm gestures.

 

“Sorry, so what do you want to do Kagura?” Kagome asked her.

 

“I think…I… guess… I still love him” Kagura said in a sigh.

 

“So you want him back?” Yura asked.

 

“I didn't say that! Okay to be honest I don't know. All I know is that I love Sesshomarou and my baby.” Kagura admitted miserably.

 

“I'm sorry to ask, but where does the baby fit in this?” Kagome asked shyly.

 

“I just wonder about what could be and what should be... Why shouldn't we try to get together again? I mean I love Sessh and also don't I owe it to my kid to try to give him a family? That's one thing I never had. Sure Grandma Kaede did a great job at raising me, but I couldn't help but be jealous when I saw other kids with both their mom and dad.” Kagura said with a sigh.

 

“I remember Kanna talking about it before the two of you left. She feared that her son would be lacking something without Naraku being in his life. But I must say I don't think that Hakudoushi will be missing much without that evil man” Kagome said with a frown.

 

“Wait up you two! Talking about babies and families, did you Sesshomarou and you talk about the `proposal'? Because Kagura there is no way in hell I am going to let you get with that guy again before you two have cleared all the confusion between you.” Yura sternly told her sister in-law.

 

“Well I guess Yura is right to wonder if Sesshomarou wants to take care of you and the baby because he wants to, or because he wants to inherit.” Kagome supplied.

 

“I don't know. We haven't really talked about this.” The wind sorceress interrupted herself to let out a long suffering sigh. “Everything keeps on happening so fast... ” Kagura said thoughtful. “And how should I go about asking him about it? Should I sit in front of him, stare right in his eyes and ask him bluntly?”

 

“My my Kagura is being considerate! Is possible that she is becoming more mature?” Yura teased.

 

“Yura now's not the time to tease her. Can't you see how miserable Kagura is?” Kagome scolded her friend.

 

“Well, Kagura you better talk to Sesshomarou and get you uncertainties and worries out of the way. Because I just really don't want you to get hurt and run out of town again” Yura said sighing before adding “…or to cut your hair for that matter, seriously what were you thinking?!” Yura asked appalled.

 

“Get over it I only got rid of a few inches! Besides it was just split ends!” Kagura said exasperated.

 

“Split ends my ass! You know I never would have let you cut your hair if you had stayed here, that's why you ran away. And just so you know, a few inches could be the difference between life and death!” The hair demoness said outraged.

 

Kagome and Kagura could not help but laugh whole heartedly at the way Yura seemed to make the situation about Kagura's new hairstyle blow out of proportion.

 

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

A/N: I have been asked to write a longer chapter, I hope this pleased you.

 

Sessh is having second thoughts and Kagura is more confused than ever. What will happen? The next chapter is called Midnight talks I'll let you guess what will happen in it ^_^
