Disclaimer: I don't own anything except this plot.

 

Since Kagura felt a little cranky, she decided to take a little nap, and once again she woke up to soft bubbly brown eyes looking at her. She opened her pupil less appearing red eyes one after the other and simply stared at the little girl in front of her.

 

“You know Rin really likes calling you pretty lady, but I'd want to know what's your name?” Rin said on a sweet tone, with a bright smile.

 

`There's something about this girl, I don't know how, but she just sucks you in and makes you want to be nice to her. It's got to be the damned eyes' Kagura thought as she looked straight into Rin's eyes.

 

“Hum pretty lady are you listening to me? Rin is sorry but she heard father talk to that very nice doctor, the one he only calls for emergency and he said that you were pregnant is that true? Can Rin touch your belly? Where's your husband? Are you going to be a single parent like my father?” Rin asked questions one after the other without breathing. Kagura had a hard time following what she was asking but she did register the most important piece of information: she was the cold bastard's daughter.

 

`She has to be adopted she seems entirely human to me. Very weird, anyway let's make the most of it' the young journalist thought.

 

Kagura smirked internally as she answered “my name is Kagura Tadakaze, a wind youkai. And I can let you touch my belly if you play a little game with me.”

 

Rin jumped on the bed and immediately put her small soft hands on Kagura's stomach. The wind demoness was surprised but pleased, apart from Miroku she was the first person who tried to rub her belly.

 

“I don't feel anything” Rin said disappointed.

 

Kagura just smiled and said “you put your hand too high here you go”, she said as she repositioned the little girl's hand on the slightly visible bump on her stomach hidden under the red borrowed shirt. The little girl's eyes widened with excitement and wonder as she felt a faint movement of the baby.

 

“What game do you want to play” Rin asked smiling as she positioned herself at the top of the bed against the pillows.

 

Kagura had an evil smile on as she said “why don't I ask you a few questions about your dear dad”.

 

“Hum I don't know, it could get Rin in trouble” answered a perplexed Rin.

 

“Oh okay it's fine, and I thought you were finally trusting me. I thought we could have been friends but…” Kagura said with a faked saddened face.

 

“Oh don't be sad Miss Kagura, okay we'll play, what's the first question”. Kagura smirked and said “hum let's see what's his favorite food?”

 

“Easy extremely rare rib eye steak, Rin answered smiling”.

 

“Very good” the wind witch congratulated her `it figures he's a dog after all' she thought. “Now let's see what's next. Oh! What's his favorite drink?” `Before I get to the toughest and juiciest questions let's put her in confidence, who knew this technique could work on innocent seven years old as well as on drunken perverts in bars'

 

“He never drinks in front of Rin but I know every night he takes a glass of cognac. He hides the bottle in his office. Master Jaken said that it reminds him of the time he lived in the South of France” Rin said while giggling.

 

`South of France quite the traveler aren't we'. “Really, well next tell me hum…what's his favorite color?” `After this question let's get serious' Kagura thought.

 

Rin opened her mouth to answer when a deep smooth voice answered “red”.

Both girls were startled and glanced at the door to see Sesshomarou leaning against the door frame looking intensively in their direction while absentmindedly stroking his mokomoko wrapped around his right shoulder.

 

“Rin what are you doing here?” he asked.

 

“Nothing I was just saying hi to our guest, I have homework to do bye” Rin said while dashing quickly out of the room without a sideways glance to her father.

 

“Oh look at what you've done now. We were just becoming great friends.” Kagura pouted.

 

“What exactly are you attempting Kagura?” he asked.

 

“Nothing really I…wait how did you find out my name I never told you” The wind sorceress asked in a surprised voice.

 

“I have my ways” was all Sesshomarou said with a small smile. “Would you like to join us for dinner Miss Tadakaze?” he added with an emphasis on her last name.

 

`Is it dinner time already have I been asleep for so long. Oh well whatever. I'm starving' Kagura thought. “Say Sesshomarou, about what was in the folder the toad brought to me earlier…Naraku did it right”

 

The demon lord took a deep breath before answering “I believe so, I think VS, or Velvet Spider are really Naraku.”

 

Kagura looked down and whispered “I'm sorry”.

 

“Let's go Rin must be waiting for us” Sesshomarou said pretending not to have heard what she had said.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

Kagura followed him as he got out of `her room' and went down a long corridor. They were walking on an incredibly immaculate white carpet, the walls were covered with paintings of men who looked alike: they all had very long silky hair, deep golden eyes and also magenta stripes on various and different parts of their faces, one or two also abhorred a blue crescent moon on their forehead.

 

When they reached the last painting of the corridor Kagura simply stopped she could not stop staring at the three faces painted. It was the only picture with more than one person. There was an older very handsome dog demon sitting on a giant armchair and he appeared to be posing with his two pups. The younger one was merely a baby sitting on his father's lap and had funny dog ears on the top of his head. Both had a bright smile on their faces. The `father's' smile showed very large fangs while the baby was toothless.

 

The other son was the one who attracted her attention; he was standing behind his father an arm resting on the armchair. Kagura by looking at his beautiful features knew it was a younger Sesshomarou but what surprised her was his smile. Yes, he had a bright toothy smile on the painting. She could not believe that the painter would take it upon himself to create this expression, for the smile looked too genuine. For some reason it had not occurred to her that under his deadpan expression could be a smiling child. I guess he only smiles for people special to him''

 

“Like what you see?” Sesshomarou asked slightly annoyed that she had been staring at this moment of weakness. That day his smile had been brief but it had been enough for the painter (his step mother) to catch it. As soon as he inherited the house he had wanted to get rid of the stupid picture, but it had been expressed clearly in his father's will that if Sesshomarou merely attempted to hide, damage, move, or destroy the offending picture he would be disinherited and everything would go to Inuyasha. Therefore he had not even touched the picture.

 

“No I just…I'm starving when the fuck are we getting to the dining room this place is too frigging huge!” she said following Sesshomarou who had resumed his walk down the corridor. Looking at the long silver hair flowing behind him she asked herself how making the dog lord smile had to be something pretty amazing.

 

`Why am I thinking about his smile? Just like earlier my heart skipped a beat when he said he liked red, red like my eyes, red like my lips…OH! WHY DO I CARE!!!'

 

“Soon” was all he said glad to see she had regained her usual attitude. `Why am I glad, I could care less about her' he tried to convince himself.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

As they both entered the luxurious dining room, the wind witch was surprised. Of course seeing the rest of the house she knew this one would also be richly decorated. Truth be told she was not a stranger to luxury, after all she had lived with Naraku but Sesshomarou's house was a different kind of luxury. It was more refined, sober, a more classic look but Naraku's house was so `nouveau rich' as if he tried to prove himself by having the most expansive pieces of furniture even if they were mismatched. The entire room was made of caramel colored wood, under the table the floor was also covered by a green rug.

 

In the middle of the room stood the largest broadest redwood table that Kagura had ever seen it was covered by a pale green cloth. The large windows were hidden behind thick green curtains and the table was set for three people despite the fact that it could easily fit thirty guests or more.

 

After she recovered from her inner shock Kagura saw that Rin was already there. She was sitting at the end of the impossibly long table dangling her small legs from the huge chair. She had changed from her school uniform in a very cute pale orange dress. She noticed that while she was looking around Sesshomarou had made his way to the chair in front of Rin and was waiting for Kagura to sit on it. “Aren't we a gentleman” was all she said before sitting. The demon lord only snorted and sat at his place at the end of the table.

 

The food was delicious and Kagura ate whole heartedly while enjoying a conversation about flowers with Rin. Of course Sesshomarou did not say anything except when he reprimanded his daughter for laughing at one of Kagura's joke while still having a mouthful of mashed potatoes in her mouth.

 

But all the while he was thinking `this is actually nice I've rarely seen Rin have so much fun during dinner'. He even allowed himself a small smile as Rin told gossips from her classroom which did not escape the little girl.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

After Rin was sent to bed Sesshomarou escorted Kagura back to her room, in order for her not to get lost as he pretended. As they approached her bedroom Kagura suddenly felt nauseous and a little lightheaded, due to his acute senses Sesshomarou noticed and caught her, thinking she could fall to the ground and hurt herself.

 

It was this precise moment that Rin chose to come up running the corridor, she stopped in her tracks and blushed at what was in front of her: Kagura held tightly in her father's arm her head appeared as if it was resting on his shoulder and he looked like he was nuzzling her neck.

 

After spending some time watching them, the little girl tan said turning her head away from the couple and with a faint blush “Rin sorry I did not mean to intrude your private moment but father, Master Jaken is looking for you.” was all she said before turning around and running to her room with an unnoticed smile on her lips.

 

“What the!” Kagura yelled as she broke free from Sesshomarou's embrace while blushing brightly.

 

She dashed to her room and closed the door behind her `why did I run away? Oh that man did he have to hold me so tightly in his arms. I could have never guessed he was so muscular, I could feel his breath on my throat and his arm around my waist and…Wow! Wait watch out where your thoughts are going Kagura. I guess Miroku the pervert was right: pregnancy does make you horny…. OK! Enough let's just take a cold shower and go to bed and yes ALONE'.

 

On the other side of the door stood a very surprised Sesshomarou. `Private moment? Rin and her imagination! But did I just imagined Kagura blushing? And why do I feel so hot all of a sudden? I must really be tired I did not get that much sleep yesterday after all'.

 

`Yeah right, keep telling yourself that…' his inner demon told him mockingly.

 

`You again, you always surface at the worst possible time. There is nothing to be read in the previous action she was feeling ill and I helped her. That's all!' an exasperated Sesshomarou thought. Sesshomarou had never been able to stand the cynical and annoying (but always so right) voice of his inner demon.

 

`And of course you had to hold her curvy and luscious body so close that you could feel her warm breath on your neck, her generous breasts brushing against your chest…'. The demon's other half said mockingly.

 

`Enough of you!' the demon lord spat while concentrating himself to cast away his inner beast who was now intent on describing in details the feeling of touching Kagura's silk like skin.

 

`Damn I really need a drink!' the demon lord thought on his way to his study where he knew the annoying toad would be waiting for him.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

“Milord I have received the answer she has accepted the task and will be coming here tomorrow. Also, VS has claimed a new victim Jaken said in one breath. By the glow in his eyes the imp knew something was bothering his master but he would never even dare dreaming of asking him what.

 

“I see, seems like everything is in motion, give me the folder on the death” the lord ordered as he sat behind his desk.
