On MediaMiner.org:
Unistar (Yup Sesshy is definitely making plans for the future, will Kagura follow his plans?)
Sovereignty (LOL! I've never been pregnant either (thank God!), all I know about pregnancy is all thanks to the internet, oh what a great source of knowledge! Glad you liked the chappie!)
Zetsuii (Will there be more drama coming? Hum… maybe. Wonder if things will keep on going as nicely for these two!)
Ladykaa28 (You're right it would be quite hard for poor Sesshy to have to divide his time between two homes, but will it be enough of a good argument to convince Kagura? Let's find out.)
Anime-rocks-1010 (Don't worry it's completely safe to do it until the very end of the pregnancy. And Sesshy would never do anything to hurt Kagura. Could they really be the perfect family?... Well I think they'd still be a little dysfunctional lol)
ScarletRaven1001 (Good luck in your writing I'm sure you'll do great, anyway you can never go wrong with a Sessh/Kagu side pairing : P We will see Yura and Kagome's reaction and advice, will Kagura like what she will hear?)
Brandospands (Indeed long time no see, glad to see you're still reading the story! Rin will definitely be happy, and Kagura's decision? We'll see…)
Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, Sesshomarou would have been the one to hold Kagura's heart. I tried wishing for it, but I still didn't get a Bentley, so I guess I don't own the brand…
“Speaking”
`Thinking'
“Wow. That's all I can say. Do you have any idea how much Tashio bank is worth? Sesshomarou would give up all that for you?” Kagome asked in surprise.
“Well don't give him so much credit. You never know, maybe he was sure he would find a way to go around his mother's will” Yura suggested with a small frown. “But even then, that's still pretty damn amazing.”
“Even more amazing is the fact that he wants you to move in with him. That's a huge step! That's fantastic. I'm so glad for you. You're going to accept, right?” Kagome asked hopefully. One of her major worries was to leave Kagura alone when she would move in with Inuyasha, but if the wind sorceress was to move in with her boyfriend, the miko would be reassured.
“Of course she will. Who would be crazy enough not to want to live in a mansion with the man they love? Not to mention how convenient it would be with the baby and all…” Yura said with sparkling eyes.
“The baby. The baby. The baby. That's the reason everyone gives to move in with him. Well, I don't know!” Kagura snapped.
The wind sorceress then rubbed her forehead in frustration before adding “Moving in with Sessh it is a big step. And it's not just him or the baby, there's Rin to take into account too. She's a sweet kid and all, but is she going to be okay with me and the baby moving in like that?...I mean…could we really all be one big happy family?... Anyway talking about the baby… I don't regret it, I already love my little guy” Kagura interrupted herself to smile fondly and pat her abdomen. “But he wasn't planned, so it's not like I had a say in the situation… but this time moving in with Sessh is different. I mean we just got back together… I don't want to rush anything and I want to make things right.” Kagura said trying to explain her reticence to her friends.
“Kagura, could it be that you're afraid because of what happened the last time you moved in with a guy?” Kagome asked referring to the wind sorceress's relationship with Naraku.
“Not everything I do is related to him!” Kagura spat angrily.
“Maybe not, but you have to admit his betrayal still influences your behavior today especially when it comes to relationships. No one can really blame you, after all you can't help but compare. Naraku was the only real long time relationship you ever had.” Yura said with a shrug twirling a strand of short black hair around her finger.
“You may be a little right. I mean we were going to get married! The experience did make me swear never to get engaged again…” Kagura admitted with a sigh.
“That makes a little sense, but I can tell you there's nothing better than knowing you're going to marry the man you love, and spend the rest of your life with him” Kagome reassured her friend a warm smile on her lips simply thinking about the long years she would be able to spend next to her love Inuyasha.
“Ugh I'm telling you I am never getting married” Kagura said with a stubborn set to her jaw.
“Yeah right. I personally couldn't agree more with Kagome, and you know, Kagura living with the man you love is really not that bad. You get to know each other better, and it makes your relationship stronger. As unnerving and messy as Byakuya can be, spending all the time I want by his side…there's nothing better. And by the way you know Sesshomarou would never treat you the way that bastard of Naraku did” Yura commented nodding her head in consent.
“Oh I know that, that's why I fell in love with Sessh” Kagura said with a small happy sigh. “Anyway can we talk about something else?” The wind sorceress then asked rolling her eyes. She really was not that keen on being lectured this early on in the day “If not I'm going back to bed” The wind sorceress added a little exasperated by her friends' inquiries.
“Didn't you just wake up when I got back?” Kagome asked in surprise.
Noticing Kagura's blushing cheeks Yura said “It would seem that Kagura did not get that much sleep to begin with. Come on let's let her get some beauty sleep.” The grinning hair demoness winked at her sister in law before grabbing Kagome's hand and leaving Kagura alone in her room.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000
That afternoon, Kagura decided to take a long nap. Sesshomarou's “creativity” had prevented her from getting a good night's sleep. A few months ago keeping up with her boyfriend's seemingly boundless sexual appetite would not have been much trouble, but due to her pregnancy Kagura tired much easier and faster.
The wind sorceress had been in the middle of dressing when she heard her doorbell ring. She cursed as she hurriedly picked up one of the pregnancy pants she had bought not too long ago, and was lying around on the floor of her room. Hearing the door bell again, Kagura tried to quickly fasten the button of her pair of jeans.
`What the hell I just bought these jeans!' Kagura thought in exasperation, as she once more tried to zip up her jeans.
`What a shame.' Her inner demon mocked.
Giving up with a sigh, Kagura simply slipped on a shirt and hurried to the door.
She had barely opened the door, that she felt someone hug her closely. She looked down and smiled warmly as she recognized Rin's brown head. The little girl quickly pressed her face to Kagura's bulging belly, a large smile on her lips.
“We're kidnapping you again!” The little girl said happily.
“Now why does that sound familiar?” Kagura joked referring to the morning she had had breakfast with Sesshomarou and Rin the day after her and her lover's return from Paris.
“Rin is so happy! Rin missed you so much” the little girl said with sparkling brown eyes. “Can Rin feel Kagura's baby?” She then asked shyly with a small apprehensive smile.
Kagura smiled gently at the little girl and took a hold of the young human's hand before placing the limb on her swollen abdomen.
“Of course you can, the baby is your little brother after all” The wind sorceress said. Rin`s smile broadened when she felt movement under her palm. In pure happiness the brown haired girl once more latched herself at Kagura's abdomen.
After Rin let go of her, the wind sorceress raised her head and sure enough her crimson eyes met a pair of sparkling golden eyes.
Knowing that her father too would want to greet Kagura, Rin stepped inside the wind sorceress's apartment, allowing Sesshomarou to move forward.
“Kagura” He greeted her as she enveloped him in a tight embrace.
Despite the fact that they had just seen each other a few hours ago, she had missed him a lot. Even to Kagura their reconciliation had felt like a dream and being able to hold Sesshomarou in her arms reminded her that they truly had gotten back together. As she pressed herself closer to her lover, to her surprise Kagura suddenly felt Sesshomarou stiffen, and not in a good way…
“What is it?” She asked him, as she let him go.
“Something poked me” Sesshomarou said as he lowered his gaze to Kagura's stomach. Having an idea of what had just happened the wind sorceress blushed.
Raising an inquisitive eyebrow Sesshomarou reached low to slightly raise the hem of Kagura's shirt. He chuckled as he noticed how despite her efforts Kagura had not managed to fasten the button of her jeans. He inferred that what had poked him was none other than the unfastened metallic button on Kagura's jeans. Sesshomarou could not prevent a small chuckle from escaping his lips.
“Are you mocking me?” The wind sorceress asked with a murderous glare.
“No” Sesshomarou answered quickly as he let go of Kagura's shirt.
“I just bought these jeans. It's not my fault if Sesshy Jr is stubborn just like his dad and decides to grow so fast” Kagura said with a sigh.
“Sesshy Jr” Sesshomarou echoed coking an eyebrow in amusement.
Kagura blushed slightly `Sesshy Jr' was the nickname she affectionately gave the baby when her doctor told her that it was going to be a boy.
“It isn't Sesshy Jr's fault.” The god demon said with a mocking smirk. “It is rather his genes that are to blame along with a defense mechanism in pups. They develop faster than human children during the first two trimesters in order to unsure a safer pregnancy” Sesshomarou remarked. As he noticed Kagura smiling brightly he asked with disapproval in his tone “Were you not informed? I knew that this doctor of yours was not fitting”
“No, I knew that. Dr Fujiko did tell me. I'm just surprised that you know about it.” Kagura remarked smiling.
“I had Jaken research information on youkai pregnancies” Sesshomarou grudgingly admitted.
“It's normal, you were curious and worried about the baby” Kagura supplied trying to ease Sesshomarou's apparent discomfort.
The dog demon smiled as he gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind Kagura's pointy ear “No, I was worried for the two of you”
The wind sorceress was too overcome by a feeling of love and happiness that she did not know what to answer, luckily for her, she did not have to as Rin interrupted her “Are we going soon?”
“Let me go change and then we can leave” Kagura said as she sauntered to her bedroom.
As he saw the wind sorceress disappear towards her room the dog demon could barely suppress an unnerved growl.
`She should be going towards our room, in my house not here' Sesshomarou thought as he let a critical gaze roam over Kagura and Kagome's small living room.
`May I suggest not to start badgering her, you know that trying to force Kagura would only make her refuse you.' His inner demon remarked.
`I am aware of this, I know Kagura and I know how she thinks. I shall therefore not bring up the topic, and wait for her to give me her answer on the matter' Sesshomarou thought happy to have come up with a solution to the problem weighing on his mind.
`I doubt you'll really be able to keep your mouth shut, but you can always try' His inner voice mocked.
`I will leave Kagura enough time to make her decision…in fact she should be ready by this evening' the dog demon then thought,
`I was surprised by your passivity, now that sound more like you; issuing a silent time table His inner demon taunted him.
“Let us leave” Sesshomarou said ignoring his inner voice, as he saw Kagura reemerge from her room. The dog demon patiently waited for his two girls to exit the apartment before closing the door behind him.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
“Wow you've got a new car, and a silver Bentley continental GT. You don't do things halfway, do you?” Kagura exclaimed as she stopped in front of Sesshomarou's vehicle.
“Rin chose it from a catalog” The little girl piped up proudly before settling inside the backseat of the luxury car.
“Rin could choose one for you too” Sesshomarou remarked casually as he opened Kagura's door, inviting her to step into his vehicle.
“I told you before! I don't need a new car. If I did I would buy it myself. You don't need to buy stuff for me; I can very well take care of myself.” Kagura snapped before sitting in the Bentley.
`Didn't she use to love to go shopping? She did spend a large amount of money at Ayame's when she went shopping on our first date… Her reaction must be due to the hormonal rages the pregnancy books warned against' Sesshomarou thought as he stepped behind the wheel, a confused expression in his eyes.
“I hope you will not mind if I were to buy some things for the baby?” Sesshomarou asked cautiously.
“No, of course not” Kagura said smiling. Sesshomarou eyed her suspiciously as he noticed her sudden happy expression.
“Can Rin buy things for him too? Rin wants to pick a nice big blue crib” The little girl said smiling brightly already picturing how she would like to decorate her younger brother's room.
“Well, I'd rather wait after the baby shower and see what will be missing before making big purchases. But you can always register the gifts with me and my friends if you want. I'm sure everything you will pick your brother will love.” Kagura said turning around to smile at the little girl sitting in the backseat.
“What's a baby shower?” The little girl asked scrunching her nose in confusion.
“Well it's kinda like a welcome party for the baby. My friends, family and I get together, eat, and play games. And then people will give me stuff for the baby” Kagura explained.
“A party? Can Rin come to?” The little asked hopefully afraid that she once more would be excluded from a party due to her young age.
“Of course you're invited. You're the baby's big sister” Kagura assured her.
Sesshomarou listened at the two girls' conversation in silence before staring at his daughter through the rear view mirror. Seeing Rin's beaming expression, Sesshomarou sent a grateful nod in Kagura's direction.
`The witch is already making plans for the child's belongings, but she has yet to accept that moving with me would be the best alternative. How else would she be able to fit a fitting nursery in her tiny apartment' Sesshomarou thought in disapproval. The dog demon did remember to keep his mouth shut, as he knew that Kagura could take badly to a remark of his, which would undermine the plans he had for the two of them.
“The good thing about my car is that Sesshy Jr's car seat wouldn't look out of place in it. I'm not sure your leather interior would agree with a car seat” Kagura pointed out with a shrug, coming back to their previous conversation's topic, a mocking smirk on her lips.
“There is only one sacrifice I would not be willing to do for our pup, which would be driving a minivan” Sesshomarou retorted feeling a shiver of horror and disgust running down his spine.
“You do realize there is a middle ground. You do not get to drive either a luxury race car or a van… Anyway, not that I would leave my precious baby in a car alone with you; you drive as if speed limitations are more suggestions than regulations” Kagura remarked pointing towards the speedometer.
Deciding not to respond to Kagura's teasing, Sesshomarou slowed the car before addressing his daughter “Rin where do you want to go first?”
“Rin wants to buy her brother a present!” The little girl answered.
“Then the mall it is” Sesshomarou said as he made a right turn.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
“Kagura do you think the baby will like it?” Rin asked her mouth scrunched in worry, her bubbly brown eyes rived on the big blue stuffed dog hugged close to her chest. She had handpicked the toy for her brother to be and feared it would not be good enough.
“Of course he will, won't he Sesshy?” Kagura said as she turned to face the dog demon walking a few feet behind the two dark haired girls. Chuckling as she noticed her boyfriend's sulking face, the wind sorceress laced her hand in Rin's small one and hurried towards Sesshomarou's car.
The reason for the dog demon's aggravation was that he had had to spend the past three hours, which to him was an eternity, assisting Rin and Kagura in shopping. Needless to say that Sesshomarou hated shopping. Every time Rin needed to stock up on clothes, her father would simply send her to the mall along with Jaken.
To his horror, for the past three hours Sesshomarou had to look at Rin and Kagura as they picked up clothes, tried them on, asked for his opinion (which he was not always willing to give), discarded the clothes or decided to buy them. What puzzled Sesshomarou the most was the fact that the two girls were able to repeat the same process again, again and again. He was sure they would have kept on if he had not put his foot down and told them he had had enough. Pouting Kagura and Rin had reluctantly agreed to stop their shopping for the day.
Sesshomarou walked slowly towards the mall's parking lot, carrying bags filled to the brink of clothes and accessories for his girlfriend, his daughter and his son, who to the dog demon's amazement, for someone who had yet to be born already possessed so much…
“Since you graciously bought all our stuff, I'll pay for dinner” Kagura said smiling before sitting in Sesshomarou's car.
“You do not have to” Sesshomarou informed her. It was after all his pleasure to make his daughter and girlfriend happy even if it meant having to pay of heaps of clothes, accessories, toys and other things he considered to be nonsense.
“What do you want to eat Rin?” Kagura asked the little girl.
“Nothing special. Anything is fine for Rin. You can choose.” She assured the wind sorceress with a warm smile.
`She's such a sweet and well mannered child' Kagura thought with a warm smile wondering if her son would also turn out to be as well behaved as Rin.
“Well in that case, I've been having this craving that I just can't seem to get rid of…” Kagura said thoughtful.
“What is it?” Sesshomarou asked ready to fulfill any of his wind witch's desires. For an unknown reason, seeing a sudden broad smile etch on Kagura's lips worried him.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
“When Souta told me an interesting party had just arrived at the restaurant, I figured he was talking about a hoard of super models. As if I'd be interested in a kid and a heavily pregnant woman…” Mushin half heartedly complained with a smile. His remark earned him a sharp glare from Sesshomarou. Ever since the first time he had met the owner of the `Burger temple,' the dog demon had taken an instant dislike to the old human.
“Geez you'll never change you old geezer.” Kagura remarked as she fanned herself in lazy gestures with her fan. She had taken her weapon out in case the old lecher was going to once more try a move on her.
“If you're interested, we are ready to order. We'll have three `Wind witch', one `Crimson Wind' because Sesshy dear needs some alcohol in his system lest he suffers from a breakdown, and for Rin and me two `Whirlwind'. Unfortunately I'll have to contend myself with a fruit juice today. Also I'd like a double order of “Dragon fan' because I am starving, and I'll need more French fries then these two.” The wind sorceress ended her order with a playful smirk directed at the dog demon seated across from her.
“Hum. I'll admit I'm surprised the two of you are still together. Kaede would be proud Kagura. It's a nice family you've got there” Mushin remarked casually before turning on his heels with a “Coming right up”
“When you said you had a craving I would not have expected this…” Sesshomarou said with a scowl.
“Yeah right, stop pretending to look so disappointed you've got to admit that the Wind witch is the best burger you ever had.” Kagura said rolling her eyes.
“Rin loves it here” The little girl said as she looked around the lively atmosphere surrounding them. The little girl really did not understanding her father's displeasure.
Knowing that he would never be able to win an argument with both Kagura and Rin against him, Sesshomarou did not even try. He simply repressed the urge to roll his eyes and sigh, and hoped the strawberry daiquiri Kagura had ordered for him would be served quickly enough.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
“I had so much fun, but I'm full, exhausted and my back and feet are killing me” Kagura said in a happy sigh as she stretched in the leather seat of Sesshomarou's car.
“At home daddy has a machine that massages feet. Uncle Inuyasha gave it to him for his birthday. He said daddy needed to relax more, but daddy never used it. Maybe you can come use it?” Rin asked trying to be helpful.
“Nah it's late. Maybe another day” Kagura answered.
“It's not too late. And you can always sleepover. Kagura, if you want, Rin can leave you her bed. It's really big and all pink you'll love it” The little girl said happily.
“Rin, I can assure you that if Kagura were to sleep over at our house, it would not be necessary for you to leave her your bed” Sesshomarou said in a husky voice, a light smirk on his lips.
“Sessh did you put your daughter up to inviting me to your place? Shame on you!” Kagura whispered to her boyfriend. Sesshomarou's shining lustful eyes did not escape the wind sorceress's sharp gaze. Seeing the desire he had for her in his deep amber orbs sent delightful shivers down Kagura's spine.
“I did not such thing. Rin merely enjoys your company” Sesshomarou corrected Kagura. The dog demon was waiting with hopeful spirits for Kagura's signal to turn his car around from the road towards her apartment and head towards his mansion.
“Thanks for the invite Rin, but not tonight.” Kagura said turning around to smile at the little girl.
The wind sorceress then turned to her left and addressed her now sulking boyfriend “I have to make up the delaying of her wedding to Kagome by helping with more little nuptial details.” Kagura said rolling her eyes before adding with a smile. “In truth I also really want to spend the most time possible with my dear roommate. After all once I move in with you in a few, I won't be able to see her as much.”
“So you've reached your decision?” Sesshomarou asked not able to prevent his happiness from showing in a light smile. `I knew the witch would come around once I gave her the time to think this through ratinally' he thought proudly.
“Yep” Kagura answered unwaveringly smiling brightly. “You just kind of caught me off guard this morning, but I gave some thought to the whole situation and you were right. Anyway I won't be a fool like before, so I won't allow old bad experiences to stand in the way of my happiness. I'm sure that moving in with you and Rin will be what will make me and the baby happy.” The wind sorceress added sending a loving glance towards her boyfriend.
`The girls were right; I have to get pass my fears and hesitations. I also have to consider the baby's well being. He needs a family, one like I never had. With not only a sister who loves him, but also both parents' The wind sorceress thought resting her hand on her stomach.
Spending an entire afternoon in Sesshomarou and Rin's presence had completely quelled Kagura's fears and hesitations about not being able to fit into Sesshomarou's life. The wind sorceress had to admit that she had spent a wonderful time with the father and daughter duo, and had caught herself a few times feeling like a true family.
.
With a seductive smirk Sesshomarou removed his right hand from the wheel, to rest it on Kagura's thigh. He started running his warm palm up and down the wind witch's thigh even if his eyes stayed rived on the road ahead.
With a little chuckle, Kagura removed the dog demon's clawed hand from her and replaced it on the wheel.
“Concentrate on your driving for now, okay horny dog?” She asked him with a smirk.
“What does horny mean? Rin heard Kagome say that to uncle Inuyasha too” Rin asked innocently. The little girl was surprised by the sudden red tinge on Kagura's face.
“The witch will gladly explain to you the meaning of the word she just employed, won't she?” Sesshomarou asked looking at Kagura's crimson face from the corner of his eye.
`I'll so get you back for that one bastard!' Kagura thought in outrage.
“Well… it's just a playful way for women to call their male demon friends” Kagura said hoping to lose the girl's interest.
“Then can Rin call Jaken horny?” His daughter's sudden question caused Sesshomarou to unintentionally slam his foot on the break, which made the occupants of the car slightly lurch forward. After coming down from his shock, the dog demon resumed driving as if nothing had just happened.
The wind sorceress looked at her boyfriend in shock, before turning towards the little girl a warm yet very uncomfortable smile on her lips.
“Well Rin let's just say that it's actually a bad word and you shouldn't use it. I'll try not to anymore, okay?” Kagura asked turning around to face the wind shield once more.
“Okay Rin won't say it anymore” She promised `but I will ask Uncle Inuyasha and Aunt Kagome what it means. I wonder if they will react funny too...' The brown haired child wondered with a smile.
The wind sorceress sighed in relief `Damn I guess that's how it feels to be a mom…' she thought to herself.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
“Daddy, if Kagura starts living with us, and because she is Rin's brother's mother, does that mean that now she's your wife and Rin's mommy?” Rin asked her father innocently, a hopeful glint in her eyes.
The little girl's inoffensive question left an uncomfortable silence. Rin felt like holding in her breath while waiting for her father to answer the question she had been dying to ask all day long. She would have asked Kagura. But the little girl was afraid of being rejected.
“I do not know” Sesshomarou simply answered as he started his car, his golden eyes looking at Kagura's form going up the stairs leading to her apartment.
Rin looked at her father in surprise. Every time she had asked Sesshomarou a question, he would answer when he wanted, if not he would simply say the question did not deserve an answer or would send her to ask Jaken, Inuyasha or anyone but him. Never had her father openly admit to Rin that he did not know an answer, and that worried the little girl beyond words.
To be continued…
A/N: Poor Sessh he had one hell of a day. Will things turn out well in the next chapter? It's going to be called The Tashio family. The end of the story is almost upon us!!! But I posted a nice chapter of 'Special delivery,' so why not go check it out?!
