InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Jump Over the Wall of Freedom ❯ Gift ( Chapter 8 )

Chapter 8: Gift

 

(A/N: Since I'm on summer break and I had time on my hands I figured I'd treat you guys to another chapter, it's not very long but it's better than nothing, right! It doesn't mean that I'll start updating every two days though!)

 

 

“speaking”

`thinking'

 

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except this plot, wish I did though.

 

It took the wind sorceress at least five minutes to find the living room Sesshomarou had been talking about. She then took the phone and dialed Miroku's safe number. He had spent a big amount of money to buy an untraceable phone so that they could stay in touch safely. They also had an understanding: Kagura was to call him every Thursday at eight o'clock in the morning precisely. Usually she would call from a phone booth to be sure that Naraku had no way of finding her. The phone rang only once before the familiar voice started screaming on the other end of the receiver:

 

“Kagura finally what the hell!! I was so worried I thought you were I...” Miroku screamed.

 

“Yo Miroku, stop screaming I'm not fucking deaf you know, actually as a demoness my hearing is ..” Kagura started.

 

“I don't give a fuck about your hearing you know I've been standing looking at my phone for the last two hours!!!”

 

“I know I'm sorry about that I've been busy..” A very surprised Kagura said, `I've never heard Miroku curse before, he must have been really worried'.

 

“What was more important than letting me know you are still alive?”

 

“Well I'd tell you if you'd just shut up!!” Kagura screamed.

 

“Okay, sorry go ahead”

 

“Well it's complicated. Where to start? Okay here goes two days ago Naraku sent Hakudoushi and Goshinki after me, don't worry I'm alright. Well I mean I will be, anyway I was rescued”.

 

“And by who” the lecherous descendant of a monk frowned.

 

“I know it sounds crazy, but you remember the guy who was voted most eligible youkai bachelor in Yura's gossip column in Youkai daily?” Kagura asked in one breath.

 

“SESSHOMAROU INUYOUKAI!!!” Miroku screamed incredulously.

 

“I told you before pervert stop screaming. Anyway long story short, he hates Naraku's guts and I'm staying here he even hired a bodyguard for me a Sago Tjya or something like that”

 

“Sango Taijiya! Wow she's a top notch demon slayer, she comes from a very famous family of assassins” Miroku said with sparkling eyes.

 

“A demon slayer? Hmpf pretty ironic to be hired by a taiyoukai, if you ask me. Anyway Miroku I need a favor.”

 

“Just name and I'll do it my love” Miroku who had regained his usual light flirtation said.

 

“You know all the clothes and stuff I left at your place could you bring them here”

 

“No problem as long as you introduce me to Sango, I've never seen her face but she is rumored to be as beautiful as she is strong” the purple blue eyed man said grinning.

 

“Fine whatever, just hurry. Okay I'll see you then, see ya!” was all Kagura said before hanging up. She really did not want Miroku to start questioning her.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

Jaken came running to his lord holding an elegant white envelop with gold letters, a file and a long wooden box. “lord Sesshomarou, here Totosai has completed the item you have asked for” the toad said resenting the purchase made by his master. He then handed the file and wooden box to the lord, but kept the envelop.

 

“And what it this?” Sesshomarou said on a bored tone pointing at the letter.

 

“Nothing milord, just the annual invitation to the Grand Youkai Winter Ball. I do not wish to bother you with it, I sent Inuyasha his invitation already, and since as usual you will not be attending…” the toad did not have time to continue as his beloved master smacked him on the head.

 

“Since when do you assume what this Sesshomarou will do?” he asked on an authoritative tone.

 

“A thousand apologies it will not happen again” the toad youkai bowed.

 

“Good because I shall be attending this year and with a date” the taiyoukai said with a small smile before heading for the living room. Jaken started shaking as his master smiling announced nothing good.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

As she hung up the phone Kagura sighed loudly and then turned around to see Sesshomarou looking at her. She was startled but said nothing. He then got closer and set a wooden box on the coffee table situated between them. He then walked towards the door but not before saying on his usual unaffected tone: “it's a gift”.

 

Kagura looked at the box with interest now, wondering `what could this ice prince want to give me, better not be something kinky or perverted!'!

 

[What are you thinking now Kagura!I always said Miroku would have a negative influence on you' chastised her inner demon.

 

Once she opened the box the wind sorceress was at a loss for words, Kagura was also moved to the point of almost crying, in the wooden box was resting a beautiful white fan with a red line on it. She picked it up and immediately felt her youki flow through the demonic weapon. How did he know? It's an exact replica of my old fan, the one this damned Hakudoushi destroyed. I have to go and thank him'. She then tucked the fan in her belt and headed for the door.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

Kagura walked through the portrait corridor once again and stopped in front of the portrait of Inutaishio, Inuyasha and Sesshomarou, she smiled and kept on walking. She then bumped into little Rin.

 

“Oops sorry Miss Kagura did I hurt you?” the brown haired little girl asked very worried.

 

“No I'm okay no worries” Kagura answered patting the little girl on the head. “By the way Rin where's your father? I need to talk to him” she continued.

 

“Oh sorry but you missed him, he just went out” seeing the ruby red eyes clouded with a bit of sadness she quickly said “don't worry miss Kagura it happens all the time he just disappears for a few days, Rin always asks him where he goes but he only says either `this in none of your concern' or `just some business I had to attend to as lord of the western lands'” the little girl said the last part trying to imitate her father.

 

This caused an incredible fit of laughter in the two girls. After they laughed enough to clutch their stomach, Rin said while wiping a tear “I guess it's going to be just us two girls”.

 

“Well actually Rin I have a body guard her name is Sango she's gonna stay with us for a while” the wind sorceress said.”

 

`Well, I'm not entirely surprised that he just disappeared, he did have a strange look on his face when he gave me the box. I wonder how he would react if I thank him properly. I bet he'd be all shocked…'

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

The two girls then headed down for lunch, to their surprise two black haired persons were already in the room. “Kohaku! What are you doing here?” Rin asked with a bright smile, running towards the young boy who had transferred to her class the very morning. Kagura walked towards Sango and simply told her “well if we're stuck together, at least let's try to get along”.

 

To her surprise Kagura found that Sango made very nice conversation.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

As the two younger ones went to do their homework, the two young women went to the living room. There Sango proceeded to explain to Kagura the surveillance system of the mansion, and showed to her the location of the different security cameras.

 

“Hum Sango, so Kohaku is your little brother right?” the wind sorceress asked.

 

“Yes lord Sesshomarou enrolled him in Rin's class so as to keep an eye on her. Do not be fooled, he may look like a twelve year old but he is a highly skilled fighter”, the demon slayer answered.

 

That evening went by very fast and smoothly and was pleasant. Sango and Kohaku each retreated to their guest rooms and Kagura went to tuck Rin into bed. As she was ready to turn the lights off she asked the little girl “Rin can I ask you something?”

 

“As long as it's not like the game we played last time, you know father was angry and he gave Rin a lecture” Rin pouted.

 

“I'm sorry I didn't mean to get you into trouble. Well, what I want to know is well…you're not really Sesshomarou's daughter, I mean no offense but you're human…” Kagura asked indirectly the question that had been burning her lips for quite some time.

 

Rin sighed deeply before saying “You are right…”

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

(A/N: Wow and one chapter down. I haven't been getting that many reviews lately…hope it's not because my story started sucking!!!)

Anyway, next time Rin will explain her ties to Sesshy and Miroku makes his entrance get ready for some monk slapping. Next chapter will be called Revelations and first kiss)
