On MediaMiner.org:

 

Unistar (I had fun writing Rin and Kagura interacting. I think the little girl is helping her be a better woman, and Rin would love anyone who loves her Sesshomarou-sama lol)

 

Sovereignty (I'm sure Inuyasha would react to Rin's question on the definition of horny in one way: blush, curse, exclaim Keh! Then say “go ask the wench” (referring to Kagome of course) then he would run away to make himself some ramen LOL!)

 

Zetsuii (Oh yeah if you liked the sweetness I have more coming for you, but will it last?)

 

Ladykaa28 (Once more nice observations. Sesshy and Kagura's baby would indeed have what she lacked growing up. And about the whole marriage thing…“wait and see” is all I can say.)

 

Anime-rocks-1010 (You're right Rin is indeed very observant. Will her wish come tue? Will they all be a happy family together? We shall see)

 

ScarletRaven1001 (You just asked the million dollar question: Will Sesshy and Kagura get married? Rin I am sure would love an answer to this.)

 

Lynzil18 (It's nice to get new reviewers! I'm glad you're enjoying my story so much, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy ^_^)

 

 

Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, Sesshomarou would have been the one to hold Kagura's heart. I don't own Chanel either, but I love their perfumes.

 

 

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

“Oh! Did you feel that?” Kagura asked as she snuggled closer to the man lying next to her.

 

Even if the wind sorceress would never admit it, sleeping in Sesshomarou's large bed did have its advantages. Ever since the two had reconciled two weeks ago, things had been going better than ever, and the wind witch had even started spending most of her nights at her boyfriend's place; to both Rin and her father's delight, albeit for completely different reasons.

 

The two demons had come to an understanding; Kagura would officially and definitively move into Sesshomarou's mansion in a month, which would give her enough time to spend by her roommate's side, and would also be two months away from her due date. Of course in the meantime, the dog demon did his best to make Kagura stay at his place as much as possible…

 

“What is it? Is it the baby?” Sesshomarou asked as he rested his clawed hand on his girlfriend's stomach.

 

“Yeah he's moving around more than usual. I think he's trying to give a message or something.” The wind sorceress said as she followed with her crimson eyes, Sesshomarou bending down to press his head against her swollen mid section, as if trying to listen to his son's movements.

 

“Which would be…” The dog demon trailed off as he allowed Kagura to run her fingers through his long silver mane. He smiled fondly as he indeed felt his son move against his skin.

 

“That we find this habit you have of watching us sleep very creepy” The wind sorceress retorted with a chuckle.

 

After he sat up in his bed, the dog demon gave Kagura's ear a small playful nip as a punishment. The small stimulation only made her laugh harder. Realizing that she was still mocking him, he sent a glare at his wind witch.

 

“And who would this `we' be?” Sesshomarou then questioned raising an eyebrow.

 

“Sesshy Jr and me of course” Kagura teased him before quickly pressing her lips to his. With a smile she propped herself against the massive wooden headboard.

 

“Witch stop referring to my child with such a ridiculous nickname” Sesshomarou said with a scowl as he too sat against the headboard while glaring at the wind sorceress.

 

Kagura completely disregarded his protest and she stretched before speaking “What was it you wanted to talk to me about yesterday night anyway? We got too sidetracked and you never got around telling me…”

 

Sesshomarou smirked at the memory. He had wanted to talk to Kagura about a special matter, but when he had come home from work, he had found the wind sorceress busy cooking dinner with Rin. When Kagura had told him her specialty was lasagna, she had not been kidding. Of course he could have explained the matter weighing on his mind after dinner, but by then the only thing he had wanted to do was `discuss' with Kagura in his bed.

 

“It is nothing important” he down played. Sesshomarou knew that he needed to talk to Kagura about it right now, but did not know how to approach the matter.

 

“Liar! I thought we were all for honesty from now on?” Kagura asked as she gently bobbed him on the nose. Sesshomarou growled in annoyance.

 

“Rin told me you set the date for the baby shower for in two months? Isn't that too late?” Sesshomarou asked not acknowledging Kagura's earlier remark.

 

“I guess not I'll be eight months long by then. Besides I didn't get to choose anything!” Kagura complained. “It was all decided between Mrs. Higurashi, Kagome and Yura. Since Yura refused to host a party for Kaori's baby shower, they all intend to make me do this gigantic thing for our baby. I can already feel a headache just thinking about it…” Kagura hissed rolling her crimson eyes in annoyance. Of course had it been up to her, there wouldn't have been any party at all, but everyone was so excited by it that the wind sorceress did not feel like disappointing them.

 

Seeing the perfect opportunity, and noticing that Kagura was already in a foul mood, which he was sure his news would not be able to dampen, the dog demon spoke:

 

“Talking about overbearing relatives, my father and Izayoi are hosting a dinner next weekend in honor of Inuyasha and Kagome's upcoming wedding, and in our honor too.” Sesshomarou was waiting for Kagura to blow up and scream since, he had after all only told her two days before the event.

 

“Can't say I'm surprised. I mean I kind of felt bad for not involving your step mom more in the whole pregnancy frenzy that seems to have swept all my female relatives off their feet” Kagura said. What she failed to mention, was that she was not sure how Sesshomarou would react if she were to acknowledge Izayoi as the grandmother of their child.

 

“Sometimes you truly surprise me by how understanding you can be” Sesshomarou observed relief spreading through him before pressing a tender kiss on Kagura's cheek.

 

At first the wind sorceress blushed in pleasure at his compliment, but when its meaning caught up to her she cursed and glared at Sesshomarou.

 

“What do you mean sometimes? You really are an insufferable dog, you know that?” Kagura spat glaring at the demon at her side.

 

Not able to resist how beautifully flushed Kagura always looked when angry, the dog demon cut her rant by hungrily pressing his lips to hers, before ever careful of her growing abdomen, rolling on top of Kagura.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“What are you doing?” Sesshomarou asked as he suspiciously observed his girlfriend. Kagura had not moved from her spot on his bed, among the rumpled sheets and covers. She was propped against the headboard and had her nose buried in an all too familiar book.

 

“Shouldn't you be getting ready for work?” Kagura asked not raising her gaze from the book.

 

The dog demon smiled, he was sure he would be late for work, but remembering the reason why he was late, namely the woman still lying naked under his covers, made it all worth it.

 

“What about you?” The dog demon retorted as he started getting dressed.

 

“Me? The beauty of working from home, is that I get to make my own schedule. Besides I'm already busy… What do you think of Daichi? It means first great son, quite fitting for your son if you ask me... Anyway Rin and I like this name, and we'd like your input” Kagura said flipping through her `Best baby names' book.

 

“It is most gracious of you to ask now for my opinion.” The dog demon mocked. For the past few days Kagura and Rin had been working on what name would fit the baby the best, and Sesshomarou had of yet not been asked his opinion on the matter.

 

“Well, you did provide half of the genes, so I guess you can give us your opinion.” Kagura mocked as she put the book aside and stood up.

 

In order to cover herself she picked up Sesshomarou's shirt from the previous day. The abandoned garment had been mercilessly thrown on the floor after the wind sorceress had practically torn it away from her boyfriend's body. Kagura wrapped herself in the long white shirt, she inhaled deeply, meaning to take in Sesshomarou's comforting fresh pine scent, but she picked up something else.

 

`Is that a woman's perfume?' Kagura wondered. `And it's not mine. I stopped wearing perfume because of his ultra sensitive nose.'

 

“It is a Tashio family habit to wait until seeing the child's face before naming him or her” The dog demon remarked as he looped his tie around his neck. “This is why this Sesshomarou believes that…”

 

“Sessh” Kagura interrupted his explanation. “There are lipstick smears on your shirt's collar. And they're pink… Pink is not my shade, I only wear red lipstick.” The wind sorceress looked towards her boyfriend expecting an explanation.

 

A pregnant silence followed Kagura's statement.

 

“You are not going to start screaming like a banshee accusing me of cheating?” Sesshomarou asked raising a surprised eyebrow.

 

“Ha ha very funny! No, I won't jump to conclusion. I give you the benefit of the doubt, since I completely trust you.” Kagura said trying her best to smile sweetly. “But on the other hand I would very very much like an explanation.” She added letting some of her anger sip through.

 

“In all honesty I have no idea where these came from.” The dog demon said cautiously walking towards his now simmering in anger girlfriend.

 

“So you're asking me to take your word for it and trust that you're not seeing someone else?” Kagura asked taking a deep breath to calm herself.

 

“Precisely” Sesshomarou answered masking his nervousness.

 

“Okay…” Kagura breathed out as she kept playing in her head again and again `I trust Sesshomarou. I trust him. After all we've been through he wouldn't cheat on me like that.' With an appeased smile she started walking towards the bathroom, not turning around to look at her boyfriend's stunned expression.

 

As she walked by him, Sesshomarou took a hold of Kagura's arm and stopped her.

 

“Actually…” The dog demon trailed off as he bent towards his girlfriend to take a sniff at the shirt she was carrying. “It smells like Chanel No.5. That would be Izayoi's fragrance. I still wonder why father has not yet told her how offensive, wearing perfume can be to us full fledged dog demons.” Sesshomarou said shaking his head softly.

 

He then paused to take a closer look at the pink smears on the collar of his shirt. “I believe the lipstick must be courtesy of her too. Yesterday afternoon father, Izaoi and I have seen Shiori, her useless boyfriend, and her parents off. Aunt Keiko worried too much over the delivery of the child and wished for Shiori to give birth abroad… or some ridiculous notion such as this. In any case it is to my advantage, since I am now no longer required to babysit Shiori.” Sesshomarou explained with a relieved expression.

 

“I see. Okay well I do have to put that shirt in the hamper right now” The wind sorceress said with a bright smile as she resumed her walk towards the bathroom.

 

“Are you okay?” Sesshomarou asked stunned by Kagura's easy going attitude and show of acceptance and complete trust.

 

“Yeah I'm okay, why?” Kagura said as she raised herself on the tip of her toes and pressed her lips to Sesshomarou's. “You better finish getting ready or you'll be really late. And you better not make Rin late for school, remember, you're dropping her off today.” Kagura added as she walked to the adjacent bathroom.

 

Sesshomarou looked at his girlfriend's retreating figure with eyes full of love.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Rin is so happy it feels like a big family reunion” The little girl exclaimed happily from the backseat of Sesshomarou's car. For a change, and to the little girl's delight, both her father and Kagura were sitting on either side of her. Smiling brightly she took a hold of each of the two demons' hand in hers, and clasped the limbs tightly together.

 

“How `big' is this family reunion actually? I mean it's just a familial dinner, isn't it? Besides Sessh why did you ask me to dress up like that?” Kagura frowned as she looked down at the elegant dark blue dress she was wearing. The wind sorceress could not shake off the impression that she was over dressed. She looked over at her boyfriend who was stoically sitting, and realized that he too, in her opinion, seemed a little over dressed for the occasion with the dark suit he was wearing. Even little Rin was wearing a monstrous and very puffy orange dress.

 

`Gods as soon as I move in for good I'm taking the poor girl shopping again. I bet Jaken chose this horrible thing of a dress for her.' Realizing that she was thinking as if she had any actual authority over Rin or the choices in her life, Kagura blushed slightly. She made a mental note to later talk about her role towards Rin with Sesshomarou.

 

“We have arrived” Sesshomarou commented, which brought Kagura out of her straying thoughts.

 

She smiled sweetly as she stepped out of the car with, Suikotsu, the driver's help. The wind sorceress's smile was quickly wiped off as she looked in astonishment at the house in front of her. Kagura, who considered Sesshomarou's house as the most fabulous one she had ever seen, was quick to reassess her idea, when she laid eyes on Touga and Izayoi Tashio's house.

 

“Wow” She breathed out as she took in the immense mansion framed by intricate gardens. Kagura was jolted out of her stupor when Sesshomarou snaked his arm under hers. She looked up at him and smiled. She was not sure why, but she felt as if her boyfriend was nervous and apprehensive about something.

 

“Grandpa!” Rin suddenly screamed happily as she ran towards the tall silver haired man, who had appeared to open the door for the newly arrived guests.

 

“Oh my dear Rin aren't you looking all beautiful and elegant today? Oh yes a real Lady.” Touga said as he scooped his granddaughter in his arms.

 

“Rin your manners” Sesshomarou reminded her, when he saw his daughter climb on top of his father like a little monkey. The little girl blushed at being reprimanded, and allowed her grandfather to safely deposit her on the firm ground.

 

“Oh Sesshomarou! Let children be children and have fun. Don't you remember the kind of trouble you used to get into when you were a pup?” His father asked as he approached the demon couple.

 

“I would just love to know all about these” Kagura mocked as she hid her growing smirk behind her fan. The wind sorceress then started cooling herself down with the use of her fan, she was not sure if it was because she was slightly nervous at seeing her boyfriend's parents again, but despite the evening's cool breeze Kagura suddenly felt very hot.

 

“Kagura, it is such a delight to welcome you in my home” Touga said grinning as he stepped between Sesshomarou and Kagura.

 

The older dog demon shot a quick and piercing reproving glare in his son's direction. Sesshomarou was the only one to have noticed and it sent a shiver of fear down his spine. Kagura, who had not noticed the silent father-son stand off, blissfully allowed Touga to loop his arm under hers while he led her towards the inside of his mansion.

 

“My dear Kagura, in your delicate condition you shouldn't stand on your feet this long. Now come on Izayoi has been dying to see you again. She is waiting with Kagome and Inuyasha in the family room where the refreshments will be served. You too my dear Rin.” Touga said smiling as he took Rin's small hand in his free hand.

 

Sesshomarou silently followed behind the three of them as they stepped inside the house.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

“Here Kagura eat up. I made this dish especially for you. It's supposed to help pregnant demoness feel energized” Izayoi said as she happily refilled the wind sorceress's plate. “I looked up the recipe online.”

 

“No really I'm full” Kagura tried to protest nicely while smiling at the petite dark haired human woman sitting to her right, who it seemed had made it her personal mission not to let Kagura have an empty plate at any time during the whole meal.

 

“Izayoi leave the poor girl alone. Not every woman has the same appetite you did when you were expecting Inuyasha. Good god I feared the house would not contain enough food to satiate you” Touga said playfully as he stared over Kagura's head to his wife.

 

For a reason unknown to her, the wind sorceress had been seated in between the two hosts, while her boyfriend was seated right across from her, with Rin on his left and Inuyasha and Kagome on his right.

 

“I don't think it was Izayoi, I'd bet anything it was due to Inuyasha, after all he still eats enough to feed a hoard of bovines” Kagura remarked as she smirked at her boyfriend's brother.

 

Everyone except Sesshomarou and Inuyasha, who responded with a “Keh! Watch your tongue wench,” exploded in laughter.

 

“It is so lively and pleasant to have young people in this house. I can't wait to hear again the cute pitter patter of small toddler feet as they run around the house” Izayoi exclaimed in fondness as she lovingly glanced down at Kagura's bulging belly.

 

“By the way Izayoi” Kagura started as she followed Sesshomarou's stepmother's gaze, “I was wondering if you would like to come to the baby shower”.

 

Izayoi grinned from ear to ear in pure happiness “I would be so very delighted. I know I could wait for the party, but I don't think I can help myself.” Without a word of explanation Izayoi stood up and left the dinning room.

 

“Please don't let mom embarrass me!” Inuyasha said his eyes rived towards the ceiling as if he was praying.

 

“Inuyasha do not mock you mother!” Touga said with eyes narrowed to thin golden slits.

 

“Sorry” The half demon said like a disobedient child. Noticing his pouting lips, Kagome ran a gentle finger along his furry ear. The small touch had the desired reaction and the inu hanyou simply smiled again in pleasure.

 

Izayoi waltzed back into the dinning room her arms covered in multicolor woolen fabric. Without leaving Kagura the opportunity to react, Mrs. Tashio dropped the pile of fabric on the wind sorceress's knees.

 

“Ever since Sesshomarou told us he was going to be a father, I started knitting again. It may not be much, but believe me, I know by experience that you can never have enough blankets and socks with a baby; especially dog demons. You would be surprised by the number of my beautiful blankets Inuyasha used as a chew toy. Not to mention that he always found a way to drop his socks.” Izayoi said beaming as she cast her son a loving glance.

 

Inuyasha responded to his mother's words with a small blush and a loud “Feh!”

 

“Thank you very much. I love them. I'm sure it's going to be a great help” Kagura said as she looked through Izayoi's handiwork.

 

“Really? I am so glad!” The older woman said clasping her hands in relief and joy.

 

“Honey, do you think we can have dessert now?” Touga asked gently.

 

“Keh! What's for desert?” Inuyasha asked crossing his arms over his chest. The hanyou did not care much for sweets, but he hoped his mother would allow him to have some ramen as dessert.

 

“I wanted to have something a little less formal, so we're having ice cream.” Izayoi said gently as she wiped her mouth with her napkin.

 

After she heard Mrs. Tahio's answer, the wind sorceress lifted her gaze from the pink lipstick smears on the hostess's napkin to beam at her host. The reason for Kagura's happiness? She would finally be getting some ice cream…

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Dinner was really excellent” Kagome said as she smiled to their hostess.

 

“Oh thank you dear” Izayoi answered smiling at her sons' women. “Now Inuyasha, I think your father wants a word with your brother, so why don't you and I give a tour of the house to the girls? Of course Rin, honey you will help us.”

 

“Keh! Since I don't have a choice, might as well make the most of it. Come here wench.” Inuyasha said as he grabbed Kagome and threw her on his back.

 

“Put me down! Inuyasha what are you doing?!” The young human protested half heartedly as her fiancé carried her away. Her cries of protest quickly turned to laughs as the two of them disappeared at the end of a corridor.

 

“Why are they going towards uncle Inuyasha's old bedroom?” Rin asked innocently. Izayoi blushed red and mentally cursed her son, while Kagura had a hard time containing the laugh she wanted to let out.

 

“Kags is so going to kill him, if he messed up her dress” Kagura commented. Once she had stepped into the house the wind sorceress had been surprised to see that everyone had been formally dressed, but she figured it must have been a habit during familial meals.

 

“Now now, Rin forget about them” Izayoi said with reprobating pursed pink lips.

 

“By the way I have been meaning to ask you, I love your perfume, what is it?” Kagura asked trying to sound as casual as possible. She slightly leaned towards Izayoi and smiled in contentment as she recognized the perfume as indeed being the one she had smelt on Sesshomarou's shirt earlier.

 

“I am loyal to only one fragrance, which would be Chanel No.5. Touga buys me tons and tons of bottles of it. My entire vanity case is covered with bottles of perfume” The older woman let out with a chuckle. “I believe it all sprang from the time during our first date when I mentioned it was my favorite perfume, ever since then he buys it for me all the time, whether I need a new bottle or not.”

 

`I knew Sessh wasn't lying to me! I was right to trust him. He wouldn't cheat on me.' Kagura thought happily.

 

`Seems like old habits die hard… Otherwise you wouldn't have been observing Izayoi's lips trying to see what shade of pink she uses for her lipstick, Or just asked her about her perfume.' Kagura's inner demon could not help but point out.

 

`Yeah well Baby steps! I'm improving one step at the time, okay?' Kagura retorted.

 

`Obviously!' Her inner demon mocked.

 

“I would love to get a tour of the house!” Kagura exclaimed wanting to drown out her inner demon's observations.

 

“But of course! Rin, why don't we first show Kagura the formal living room? Kagome told me all about your background in the arts, and I just bought a collection of paintings I would love to hear your opinion about.” Izayoi said as she looked down at her granddaughter.

 

“Yes! The pictures are so pretty, Rin loves them. Let's go, let's go!” The little girl exclaimed happily as she dashed towards the corridor.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“If you are planning on telling me you are disappointed in me, it is no use” Sesshomarou simply said as soon as his father closed the door of his study behind them.

 

“I intend to do no such thing; anyway it would amount to naught.” Touga said dragging a clawed hand through his long silver bangs. “I only hope that you will do right by her. Kagura is a very sweet girl, and I wouldn't want her to get hurt”

 

“What do you mean?” Sesshomarou asked his father.

 

“What I mean is that you should follow your brother's example and marry Kagu…” Touga started but was interrupted by his son.

 

“We are going to live together” Sesshomarou remarked.

 

“You know that is not good enough.” The older dog demon said with a reprobating glare.

 

“Kagura is not an ordinary woman.” The younger dog demon said brushing away his father's concern

 

“I realize you indeed are not in a traditional situation. How uncommon to make your woman with child before even truly making the woman in question yours” Touga said, his jab had been the only indication he had truly given to his son about how disgraceful he had found Sesshomarou's behavior.

 

“I assure you it had not been my first intention” Sesshomarou slightly distorted the truth. Considering that his mother had gone through great length not to let Touga know of the arrangements in her will, Sesshomarou was not about to tell his father about the proposal he had made to Kagura. The younger silver haired demon knew that his father would be sure to give him the thrashing of his life if he ever heard about it.

 

“In any case, even if we have yet to discuss it, I know that if this Sesshomarou was to propose, Kagura would surely refuse. She has had a bad experience with engagements in the past…” Sesshomarou remarked casually.

 

“Nonsense! No woman could ever refuse to marry the man she loves especially if she is carrying his child already. All you have to do is organize something romantic, swear your love to her and give her a nice ring.” Touga added stubbornly. “In any case do you not wish to make her your mate?”

 

“Of course! But it can wait until the child is born and things settle between us first. Not that mating has anything to do with the human ritual of marriage. Neither Kagura, nor I am traditional; therefore, we have no need of a marriage. Living together is sufficient.” Sesshomarou explained himself. The dog demon hated having to defend himself in front of his father, but knew there was no way around it.

 

“Now who sounds scared of commitment? Kagura or you? Are you not making excuses because you do not wish to propose to her?” With this nice pearl of wisdom Touga bent forward to reach into his first desk drawer.

 

“Want one?” The older dog demon asked as he extended an expensive cigar towards his son. Sesshomarou shook his head vehemently, scrunching his nose in disgust. The son could not understand how his father could stand what he deemed to be the offensive stench of the cigar smoke.

 

“Izayoi will have your head if she realizes that you are still smoking” Sesshomarou remarked with a small smile as he watched his father light up his cigar.

 

“She has no reason to worry. Dog demons don't die of lung cancer. And she can bear the smell, as long as I don't smoke outside of my study” Touga said brushing the matter aside while taking long drags on his cigar.

 

“Now what is it I heard about you becoming a major shareholder in Ryu Bank? Are you trying to acquire it? That would indeed be a very sound investment, but it might take years before you are able to completely take them over. And I know you my son, and I know you want to take them over.” Touga said with a smile. He had never liked their dragon demon rivals either.

 

“Those dragons are persistent, so it might take five years, six at the maximum” Sesshomarou answered with a triumphant smirk.

 

“Ah that's my boy. I knew the bank would do well in your hands. Now if only your love life could be as neat…” Touga remarked before crushing his cigar in an ashtray and leaving his son alone in his study.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“It was rather nice of you to accept Izayoi's gifts so graciously” Sesshomarou told Kagura in their car ride home. Rin was sleeping profoundly between the two of them.

 

“I meant all I said. I loved the stuff she knitted! I wish I had a mom to do these kinds of things for me. And you've got to admit Sesshy Jr is going to look so cute with these on” Kagura cooed while raising from the bag where she had gathered Izayoi's handiwork a pair of blue socks adorned with white bones for Sesshomarou's closer inspection.

 

“When Sesshy Jr will see his baby pictures and curses the both of us, I will tell him you were to blame” Sesshomarou commented dryly. As he noticed Kagura chuckling he added “What is so amusing?”

 

“You called the baby Sesshy Jr!” She mocked him, trying her best to hold in her laughter. Noticing Sesshomarou's sulking expression the wind sorceress leaned towards him over Rin's head, blowing warm air in his sensitive ear, she said in a husky whisper “Since Kagome is going to be busy with your brother tonight… how about I sleep over at your place?”

 

“Not tonight” the dog demon answered sternly, turning his head to the side opposite to the wind sorceress.

 

“What's wrong? Are you mad at me?” Kagura asked surprised by his rejection. After all according to Sesshomarou she could not move in soon enough.

 

“No. I merely have to wake up early tomorrow, and you my dear would prove to be too much of a distraction for me to be able to get enough sleep. But I will call you later on” Sesshomarou answered before softly kissing Kagura's pouty lips.

 

Shrugging off her boyfriend's rejection, the wind sorceress allowed Suikotsu to help her out of the car.

 

`What is up with him?' Kagura wondered with a thoughtful frown as she watched her boyfriend's car speed off. With a shrug the wind sorceress hurriedly walked up the stairs leading to her apartment.

 

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

 

A/N: Wow that was long! Ooh what is up with Sesshy? Did his father's words affect him more than he cared to admit? What is going to happen next? Find out in the next chapter, it will be named… I'm not telling, you'll have to wait for next week and see.

 

Many of you guys have in the past expressed concern over Kagura not being able to get her ice cream, so I decided to finally satisfy our dearest wind sorceress's craving, see I'm not that evil ^_^
