(A/N: It's probably the last time I update this week, so enjoy. This chapter is for somethingkute who has graciously reviewed all my chapters, thanks I really appreciate the support!)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except this plot, wish I did though.
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. Well I don't really remember everything that happened I was about five years old at the time. But from what Master Jaken told me and what I remember, lord Sesshomarou found me. What I mean is that my father was killed in front of my mother, by some man named VS.”
The mention of the dreaded name sent shivers though Kagura's spine.
“She wanted to send him to prison, because she saw his face…But he found us and we tried to run away…sniff I barely remember…sniff…but she was killed, there was blood everywhere...sniff and it hurt so much…sniff…she told me to run…and I ran…and I was alone and it was so cold…sniff but when I woke up lord Sesshomarou was here with a sword in his hand and he took me in…and now he takes care of me like a father”
She then wiped her tears and took Kagura's hand in hers and added “just like he's doing for you and your baby” the little girl then tried to smile through her tears. Kagura was dumbstruck, she could never have fathom what the little girl had gone through, so much sorrow hidden behind her bright and smiling brown eyes.
She then took Rin in her arms and gently stroked her hair until the little girl stopped crying.
`I could have never imagined how much of a kind heart Sesshomarou really has. I mean she's right he took ME in, he didn't have to after all it's not like I can help him kill Naraku or anything.' Those were Kagura's last thoughts as she fell asleep.

A few hours before dawn, Sesshomarou came back from his little errand. He then went to check on his daughter, and to his surprise she was not alone in her bed. In fact the wind sorceress was lying next to her. The two girls were holding each other and Sesshomarou could smell the faint scent of tears on their cheeks. He was a little concerned, but planned on saying nothing at the moment.
He just scooped his guest in his arms to bring her back to her room, where he was sure she would be more comfortable.
While he was walking he looked down at her and saw her crack open a red eye, she just smiled and said “you're back” he nodded and told her to go back to sleep. To his surprised (and delight) she nuzzled her self in his chest and fell back into a heavy slumber.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
Kagura woke up and found out surprised that she was in her room. She then thought `wait a second how did I get back here? I was with Rin and…oh no that wasn't a dream was it? No he carried me back here. Damn I was half asleep I hope I didn't say or do anything embarrassing to him'.
`Knowing you I'm sure you did' her ever annoying inner demon said on a mocking tone.
`Will you ever shut up!'
`You do realize you're telling yourself to shut up, right?'
`Pfft! Whatever!'
She then mentally shook her head and headed for the bathroom. After a long relaxing shower, she stood in front of her closet and thought `god damn it soon I won't be able to fit into the clothes left in this closet .` She smiled and rubbed the small bump on her belly and thought `Maybe I can get Miroku to go to a maternity clothes store. I guess I'd only have to remind him what he told me about pregnant women being horny'.
At that thought she laughed heartedly and took out a long light brown dress from the closet.
As she was dressing, Kagura heard the sound of people shouting in the grand hall. From her room she could not distinguish who was making such a ruckus. So she left and went towards the front door.
The closer she got to the hall and the more convinced she was that one of the voices belonged to her best friend Miroku.
“You disgusting lecher, how dare you grope me like this. And do you seriously think I would bear your child” Sango said while slapping Miroku once again.
“I'm sorry it's not my fault it's my hand it's cursed I can't control it really…”Miroku started while still rubbing his aching reddened cheek.
A voice then came from the marble staircase: ”the only thing cursed in here is us, after all we do have to endure your perverted ways…” Kagura said to her friend with a laugh. She then ran up to him and hugged him. Not wanting (or daring as he did not know if she had her fan on her) to ruin this moment by groping her, Miroku just held her and stroked her back and hair. It had been a little over two weeks since they had last seen each other and she missed him terribly, even if she would never admit it.
When they were still hugging each other was the time the master of the house chose to make his appearance. He simply glanced at the two friends before asking “who is this?”.
Kagura wiped a stray tear and introduced her savior and her best friend to each other. Miroku was impressed, he had never met a demon as powerful before and he tried to break the ice by saying jockingly:
“So you're the famous taiyoukai with a human daughter and who hired a demon slayer as a bodyguard, I've heard so much about you. No worries just positive stuff” he ended by flashing a smile at Sango who was still throwing daggers at him with her eyes.
“And you possess spiritual powers, you must be a monk's descendant” was Sesshomarou's answer.
At the last comment Kagura' jaw dropped, she looked at her friend and asked bewildered, “so it was true you do possess holy powers and I thought it was jus a stupid pick up line. How come I never felt anything?”
Miroku pouted “because you don't pay enough attention to me dearest” he than handed Kagura a huge duffel bag, saying that he packed as much as possible.
She then thanked him ready to take her clothes to her crimson room, when Sesshomarou beat her to it. He flung the heavy bag over his shoulder as if it contained nothing more than feathers and was walking towards her room. As much as she wanted to stay with her friend and ask questions about the outside life she went after the demon lord. Kagura turned one last time, before going back to her host and said mischievously
“Why don't you two get better acquainted? I'm sure you have something in common.”
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
Kagura then got to `her room' and found that Sesshomarou was sitting in the red armchair where he had kept an eye on her the first night they met, he had already set the bag on the bed.
Not paying any attention to him she went over to the bed and started to unpack what Miroku had brought for her. Thankfully he had packed enough sweatpants and loose T-shirts for her to feel comfortable. Not being able to ignore the golden gaze set on her anymore the wind sorceress turned around and said “like what you see?” mocking his reaction to her staring at his family portrait. Sesshomarou wanted to answer `I do' but only scoffed at Kagura who had a triumphant smile plastered on her lips.
Sesshomarou got up and stood right behind her, he then stated referring to the previous night “I see that you and Rin are getting along quite well, she has never been this…responsive with anyone before”.
Kagura smirked before answering “what is it? She never got along with your previous girlfriends?”
Finding an opportunity to take revenge for the previous comment he asked quite amused, with a small smile “since when do you consider yourself this Sesshomarou's girlfriend?”
Kagura blushed furiously and screamed “who would want a stone cold bastard like you? I mean yesterday I was about to go out of my way and thank you for the fan but you had already left. How rude is that? I'm still wondering what got over me by the way.”
“No need if you want to repay me, keep an eye on Rin, she has gone through more in her young life then her smile could ever let imagine. And she appears to have taken quite a liking in you” the lord said.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! I mean you ask me to keep an eye on her when you're the one who disappears on her all the time, what kind of father are you?!” Kagura yelled. She continued “Also how did you find out about my name and my weapon of predilection and also…”
Sesshomarou had stopped listening to her a long time ago. His gaze had shifted from her beautiful crimson eyes to her luscious cherry red lips, which to his annoyance kept spilling words and words to no end.
`Find a way to shut her up, she's giving us a headache' Sesshomarou's inner demon told him.
`Indeed she is annoying' the demon lord thought.
`Yes, make it stop fast!'
“You are a creep, you know! How did you get all this information on me and…” she did not finish shocked by Sesshomarou's actions.
He just got nearer put his hands on Kagura's shoulders and quickly bent to plant a kiss on her lips not letting her finish her sentence. He then released her lips as fast as he had taken them, as he was straightening up he said “shut up” and as seeing the dumbstruck face she made, he smirked inwardly and thought `that will shut her up' but his gaze and face were blank and cold as he said “do not talk to this Sesshomarou about things you do not know about”.
As he was halfway towards the door he turned around and said to the wind sorceress who had not even moved a muscle “I shall be living for a few days, take care of Rin in the meantime”.
Kagura had to remind herself to breathe, she could not even think about moving. Her knees felt weak but she was not sure she would be able to drag herself to sit on the bed, all she could do was instinctively touch her lips while thinking `why would that cold bastard kiss me?!'
(A/N: There you have it their first kiss, hope you enjoyed it! And don't forget to leave me a little review!)
