Sovereignty (To your enjoyment this chapter will have a cliffy…sort of. I'm sure you'll like it.)

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

 

 

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

“Gods how can I write this?” A frustrated Kagura exclaimed aloud. The wind sorceress was sitting in her apartment at the table in the kitchen. She once more crossed out what she had just written and started all over.

 

“Kagura I hope for your sake that you are working on the invitations for the wedding. After all it's your fault we had to change the previously set date…” Kagome told her friend sweetly. The miko was sitting across from Kagura and was busy filling the handwritten invitations for her upcoming wedding.

 

“A girl is entitled to change her mind! Besides you admitted it was for the best to push back the date of your wedding. I mean come on who wants a maid of honor as big as a whale at their wedding? Not to mention that I was never going to agree to wear those apple green things you want Yura and me to wear, while I'm pregnant. And anyway it's not like Inuyasha is going to run away and change his mind because the wedding was pushed back for a few months…” Kagura answered trying to hide the letter she was actually writing to her employer.

 

“Keh! As id I'd run away from a wench...” Inuyasha said rolling his eyes in exasperation. “In any case, wench why can't we simply use printed invitations like everyone does?” Inuyasha remarked before placing as neatly as possible a stamp on one of the envelopes Kagome had just handed him.

 

“Because I want an old fashioned taste for the wedding and I want each invitation to be personalized! I want people to know I personally care about them, and wish they will be here on this special day, even if we changed the date. And Kagura, you said I could count on you!” Kagome said glaring at her friend who was clearly not helping with the wedding invitations.

 

“Yeah you can. I just have to finish writing this letter to Miss Hime” Kagura said putting down her pen. “I haven't told Abi yet that I won't be working at the school anymore.”

 

“You're quitting your job? Don't they have maternity leave or whatever?” Inuyasha asked surprised.

 

The hanyou realized that if he would have to suffer thorough hours of letters stamping, he might as well get to know better the mother of his nephew to be. And the prospect that Kagura could indivertibly give him an embarrassing piece of information on his brother, that he would be able to use to taunt him, was an opportunity Inuyasha could not pass up.

 

“Yes they do, but the baby doesn't have anything to do with me leaving my job. I'm just the substitute art teacher at the school. It's not like it was a permanent position. And I've been offered a better job, that would enable me to focus more on trying to get our restaurant going” Kagura explained.

 

“Really?” You guys are still on about that? Inuyasha asked raising a surprised eyebrow, his lips set in an amused grin.

 

“Baka! Of course we are. A few setbacks won't make us stop. We'll just take some time out until Kagura has her baby and you and I get married. And with her new job Kagura will be able to work from home, which is great. Oh I haven't told you, have I? She is going to start drawing illustrations for children's book. That's just fantastic isn't it? That's closer to her art degree” Kagome told her fiancé.

 

“I guess...” Inuyasha said with an uninterested shrug.

 

“Okay I'm done!” Kagura exclaimed happily, a proud smile on her lips. Her crimson eyes scanned once more over the letter, looking for any errors.

 

“Oh no you're just starting” Kagome said before handing her friend a pile of invitations to fill in.

 

“How come I have to do this? I already went through the cake tasting and the flower arrangements. Couldn't your best man do some of this?” Kagura asked Inuyasha in a groan. Seeing the murderous glare Kagome sent her, Kagura added resigned to her fate “yeah yeah I know I'm to blame so I have to help. I'll be back. I'll go and get my laptop and send the letter to Abi in an email before turning myself in as your slave”.

 

The wind sorceress stood up with a groan and went to the girls' living room.

 

“She's right you know. What has your brother been doing?” Kagome asked her fiancé.

 

“Sessh was supposed to help with the invitations, but he cancelled at the last minute, looks like he had girl problems.” Inuyasha said with a chuckle. He then winced as he felt Kagome kick him under the table.

 

The hanyou was about to start arguing with his fiancée when he realized what he had just said. He quickly raised his golden eyes to look if Kagura had heard him.

 

“What are you talking about?!” Kagome asked him.

 

“Nothing wench. Get back to your writing” Inuyasha said pointing a clawed finger towards the pile of invitations waiting to be filled in.

 

The wind sorceress stopped on her way back to the kitchen. Even if Inuyasha and Kagome had not realized it, Kagura had clearly heard the hanyou's words and it had hurt her deeply. Managing to fake a smile she walked in the kitchen.

 

“Kagome do you mind if I do my share of the invitations tomorrow? I'm feeling kind of tired, I wouldn't want to mess up anything” Kagura said before letting out a fake yawn.

 

“Oh of course. Your health and the baby's well being come first. It's not surprising you're tired, it's already eleven o'clock. It's okay Inuyasha and I can manage, right dog boy?” Kagome asked.

 

“Keh! You mean I'll do most of the work after all you're just a weak human female” Inuyasha said with a grin, placing more stamps on the envelopes placed in front of him.

 

“What did you just say?!” Kagome asked feeling her face flush.

 

“God, please spare me!” Kagura said rolling her crimson eyes before heading for her room. She could tell that a lover's spat was in the works.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

`Sesshomarou is such a hypocritical bastard. “I want us to be friends” It completely makes sense since he's already seeing someone else. That bastard really did not waste any time to replace me!' Kagura thought punching her pillow. As soon as she was far from Inuyasha and Kagome's prying eyes, the wind sorceress had let her anger come out.

 

“Can I come in?” Kagura heard her friend ask through the door of her bedroom.

 

“Whatever.” The wind sorceress retorted lying back on her bed, trying to look as composed as possible.

 

“I'm sure you heard what Inuyasha said on Sesshomarou, so about that. ….” Kagome asked sitting next to her friend. The miko could tell that Kagura's angry frown could only be due to her tumultuous relationship with Sesshomarou.

 

“So what if I did hear it?!” Kagura snapped interrupting her friend.

 

“That bastard is such a damn liar and a hypocrite. He criticized Touran for being a liar, but he's not better. Proof is he's cheating on me! Poor baby you dad is really the worst kind of bastard” Kagura said protectively resting her hand over her stomach.

 

“Hum Kagura you guys aren't together anymore, so even if Sesshomarou was seeing someone then he wouldn't really be cheating on you.” Kagome said trying to appease her friend. Little did the young human know her words were only spurring Kagura's anger even more.

 

“I guess he must feel like he doesn't owe some loyalty to me and the baby. You're right, after he made it quite clear don't you think? The two of us are only friends and nothing more. I've learned from my mistakes, you know. I'll just listen to Yura's advice. Right now I'm going to go to Sesshomarou's house and get him to talk to me. After all he did say he wanted me to ask him for his side of the story and trust him.” Having made her mind, Kagura stood up.

 

“You're going now? But you can't go! The weather report said the storm will hit tonight” Kagome said raising from the bed a scared look on her face.

 

“Yeah right. They've been saying that every night for the past week, and not ONE drop of rain has fallen yet!” Kagura said stubbornly.

 

“But still you can't go now! It's too late! And oh Kagura you're wearing you pajamas!” Kagome said alarmed.

 

“Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!” Kagura said determined already halfway through the door. The wind sorceress did walk back in her room, to exchange her pair of slippers for some flip flops…

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Kagura rung the door bell once more and waited for someone to come open the front door of the imposing mansion for her. She idly turned around to look at the dark sky and noticed with a frown and a muffled curse that it had started raining, which she was sure was a sign of the storm Kagome had warned her against.

 

To the wind sorceress's relief, the massive door swung open but only to reveal Jaken's diminutive form.

 

“Wench. Haven't seen you in a while, but I can't say I missed you…What are you doing here?” The imp asked in a croaky voice.

 

“I'm here to see your master the great Sesshomarou-sama” she answered on a sarcastic tone.

 

“The Master is not seeing anyone at this hour. You would do well to remove yourself and…” Jaken started to be interrupted as he felt a gust of wind push him out of the way.

 

“Thanks for letting me in.” Kagura said mischievously as she stepped into the mansion. Taking a second to think about where Sesshomarou could possibly be, and noticing the many doors and the staircase leading she was sure to even more doors, Kagura groaned in exasperation.

 

“Toad where is Sesshomarou?” She asked not willing to run around the mansion looking for the master of the house.

 

Noting that now that Kagura had stepped into the house, his master would be able to pick up her scent, Jaken cursed under his breath. After all he could not simply turn away the woman anymore. The imp youkai dreaded to merely think about the kind of punishment he would go through, if his master found that he had deliberately turned away the woman carrying Sesshomarou's precious heir.

 

“He is in his bedroom. Take the marble staircase, it's the first door on your right at the end of the corridor” Jaken said through clenched teeth. He still could not for the life of him understand how his master had allowed himself to be seduced by Kagura.

 

“Thanks toady” Kagura said already launching herself towards Sesshomarou's bedroom.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Sesshomarou stretched a little more in his comfortable immense bed, before setting aside his book to serve himself another generous glass of red wine. After taking a large gulp of his glass, and setting it aside, he looked at the alarm clock on his bedside table. Noticing how late it was, Sesshomarou decided with a long sigh to read for another half hour before going to sleep… alone.

 

`Your bed is quite big…Let me guess you would love to have a certain wind sorceress to snuggle with at night…Is someone regretting his decision?' His inner demon teased.

 

For the past few days, Sesshomarou had had to wrestle with his conflicting feelings towards Kagura. As much as he intended to keep away from her, he could not help but imagine how life with her by his side could be sweet.

 

Things had gotten worse for the dog demon when the previous day his over productive imagination had made him realize that if he was not with Kagura, it left the door open for another man. The idea that someone else could be with the wind sorceress was almost unbearable.

 

`If you're having second thoughts now by just imagining it, wonder how you will feel when Kagura starts dating someone else, or even better yet when your child is being raised by another man…' his inner demon pointed out.

 

The simple thought that there could be another man in Kagura's life made Sesshomarou let out a growl of both annoyance and possessiveness. As much as he was aware there was a possibility that Kagura would find someone else one day, Sesshomarou was also aware that there was no warrant behind his inner demon's claim. The realization calmed the dog demon down.

 

`Whose side are you on?' The dog demon asked.

 

`Sides? I didn't know we had entered a war zone, but then again you know what they say: Love is a battlefield…' His inner voice answered.

 

Not wanting to listen to his inner demon's jabs anymore, Sesshomarou gulped down the rest of his wine. Meaning to refill his glass, he realized with dismay that his bottle was empty. With a groan, the dog demon lay back on his bed and picked up his novel. Suddenly Sesshomarou's sensitive nose was brutally but deliciously assaulted with the jasmine scent of his wind sorceress, before he could figure out what it meant; the door of his room was opened violently.

 

“Sesshomarou, you and I need to talk!” Kagura said as she burst in the dog demon's bedroom.

 

The dog demon jolted and sat up in sheer surprise. He put down his novel on his bedside table, next to his empty glass, before standing up to face his wind sorceress.

 

“Kagura? What are you doing here?” Sesshomarou asked, wondering if he had drunk one too many glasses and was imagining things. But he quickly refuted the idea, considering that Kagura was dressed in a pair of sky blue pajamas decorated with fluffy white clouds, Sesshomarou was sure his mind would never be able to create such a garment. No if he had to have dreams of Kagura bursting in his room in the middle of the night, the dog demon was sure that in his mind the wind sorceress would be wearing something with a little more lace, or even nothing at all…

 

“You really are a manipulative bastard, you know that? I thought you were doing an honorable thing, for us and the baby. But no! No wonder you want us to stay friends. You are seeing someone!” Kagura said feeling her anger swell inside of her. The simple fact of stating the matter aloud made her angrier.

 

“I am hardly in the mood for more of your ludicrous accusations” Sesshomarou said with a sigh seating back on his comfortable bed, before patting the spot next to him. The dog demon tried to sound as angry as possible, even if seeing his wind sorceress for the first time in his room did please him beyond words. After all she was only a few feet away from his bed…

 

Kagura sat down beside Sesshomarou and turned towards him. “Tell me, and be completely honest. Are you seeing someone?” She asked in a small voice, trying her best to mask her pain.

 

“Well this is a start. Next time, if you want this Sesshomarou to answer one of your questions, instead of barging into my home, why don't you try to be more polite?” He asked turning his golden eyes towards his wind sorceress. Kagura could not help but blush slightly at hearing his words.

 

“No this Sesshomarou is not seeing anyone. Why are you asking? It is hardly of your concern” He said with a sigh.

 

Kagura tried to keep off of her lips the small smile she could feel coming. At the present moment she regretted not having taken the time to grab her fan, she was sure the weapon and accessory would have been helpful in hiding the depth of her happiness.

 

“Of course it is my concern! I mean if you are going to give my baby a step mom I think I should be warned.” She retorted trying to sound as angry as possible, but failing.

 

“Is that your only concern?” Sesshomarou asked. Kagura was not sure, but she thought she could make out a note of hurt in his voice.

 

“Of course!” Kagura scoffed turning her head to the side. She feared that if she was to answer staring straight in Sesshomarou's eyes he would have been able to see through her lie. Unfortunately despite her effort, he had caught her anyway.

 

“Liar.” Sesshomarou breathed out, an uncanny mix of happiness and amusement spreading through him. “Jealousy does not become you” The dog demon added with a smirk.

 

“Jealousy! You are delusional” Kagura said blushing slightly. Her eyes rived towards the carved ceiling of the dog demon's bedroom, since she still refused to face Sesshomarou.

 

“And you are being dishonest.” The inu youkai retorted hooking his finger under Kagura's chin, forcing her to lower her head and stare right in his eyes. With a sweeping motion with the pad of his thumb he started caressing Kagura's jaw, chin, and lower lip. His fingers made a tingling warm feeling spread through Kagura's face. She was burning of desire for him to replace his finger with his own lips.

 

“You are trying to make me believe that you drove all the way here, at this time because you wanted to know if our child, who has yet to be born would have a stepmother.” Sesshomarou said with a snort, inching closer to Kagura.

 

He was so close, that the wind sorceress could make out on his breath, the taste of the wine he seemed to have drunk a little too much of. Kagura looked up and almost regretted it, as Sesshomarou's deep amber eyes mesmerized her, forcing her to come even closer to him.

 

“What else do you think I could want?” Kagura asked in a whisper her crimson eyes staring straight into Sesshomarou's deep golden orbs.

 

The dog demon suddenly inched forward to lightly press his lips against hers. The two of them were shocked at his action, and jolted in slight surprise, but none of them moved to break away from the contact of their lips.

 

In any case, the two demons knew it would be pointless to try to deny how good it made them feel. With every second of tasting Kagura's cherry lips, Sesshomarou felt his earlier resolve completely crumble to pieces. How could he have ever thought he would be able to stay away from her?

 

He gently ran his tongue over her bottom lip and Kagura eagerly opened her mouth to greet his demanding tongue. As their tongue entwined, Kagura moaned in lust and clenched her fists in the material of Sesshomarou's shirt, pressing him even closer to her. She had missed Sesshomarou and decided to simply enjoy his kiss, instead of thinking about how it could complicate things between them more than they already were.

 

Letting his emotions come out, the dog demon gently pushed Kagura backwards, ever careful of her abdomen where his child was growing. He let go of Kagura's lips, but only long enough to gently hover over her and nibble her sensitive ear. Hearing Kagura moan in pure pleasure, only spurred Sesshomarou on. Now that the wind sorceress was in his bed, under him, Sesshomarou realized that he was not willing to let her go just yet…

 

 

To be continued…
