Disclaimer: Did I say I owned Inuyasha? And you believed me? Seriously what a joke…

 

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

 

The demon lord cursed under his breath and thought `damn it, how am I going to explain it to this idiot!' but he did not need to as he heard the wind sorceress say with exasperation.

 

“What never seen a pregnant demoness before?”

 

“So it's as I thought Sesshomarou care to explain?!” Inuyasha more screamed than asked.

 

“What is there to explain, they are mine” the demon lord said on a dismissive tone as he was turning around and walking away no wanting to see the expression on the wind sorceress's face at his last comment. He mentally added `or at least they will be'

 

Kagura gasped, she was not sure what to make of Sesshomarou's comment, but hearing him say these three words `they are mine' made her incredibly happy. `Why am I so glad? Why can't I prevent myself from caring about this bastard!'

 

None the less she smiled watching his form disappear somewhere towards the staircase. The wind sorceress than realized that she was still wearing his bathrobe, she blushed and ran towards the crimson bedroom, leaving her `in laws' with a shocked expression on their faces.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

The demon lord in question was sitting behind the massive desk in his study, cursing that it was too early in the afternoon to have a drink. He was very puzzled about what happened between him and Kagura. He thought `It is true that Rin really likes her and that she is beautiful and rather amusing. But every time I see her I don't know if I will receive a kiss, a slap or a hug. She is a real impertinent, she also is so impatient and, unpredictable. She could easily drive any man crazy with those red fiery eyes'

 

`Just listen to the way you're talking about this wench, I can't believe you used these words to describe her' his inner demon laughed.

 

`You are right. She must have bewitched me with some spell or something. I just can't seem to get her out of my head. This is the only explanation possible. After all I am Sesshomarou Inuyoukai and I do not care about anyone else but myself, except Rin of course, but it is different with her'. The lord of the west continued deep in his reflection. `But I do wonder what happened earlier with those two smokes' he furrowed his delicate eyebrows, thinking about where he could find any information about the phenomenon.

 

`I for one know the meaning of it, but it is something you must find out for yourself' the voice within him teased once more.

 

`I wouldn't expect any less from you. But even so what took over me? Yes she is amusing and really good in bed but to the extent of running after her, fighting for her and then even declaring her as mine in front of the imbecile that is my brother!' Sesshomarou continued in his mind but he was soon interrupted.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

Since Sesshomarou had gotten sidetracked and did no fully answer his question, Inuyasha decided to follow him and ask him if he and Kagome could stay at the mansion. As the half demon expected he found his older brother in his study hiding behind a large book that unbeknown to him the older demon had quickly picked up as soon as he sensed his brother approaching.

 

Inuyasha as usual did not bother to knock and as soon as he entered he asked Sesshomarou “hey big brother, you know whether you want it or not Kagome and I are staying here for the holidays. Kag's mom will drop Shippou here either tonight or tomorrow. It's not like I want to but she has her own way to make me do things” he shrugged remembering how she had banned him from their bedroom for three whole weeks after he had had dinner with his ex girlfriend Kikyo. Kagome `punished' him even if he swore that they were just friends and nothing happened.

 

The oldest demon did not even look up from his book as he said dismissively, “fine I do not care”.

 

The hanyou sighed in relief and sat in the leather chair in front of Sesshomarou, he looked at him intensely trying to word his next question in a nice way. As the full demon returned the gaze his little brother licked his fangs nervously and said unsure and slightly stuttering. “Hum Sessh, there's something I want to talk to you about…”.

 

Cutting his younger sibling the demon lord looked up from his book and said with a devilish grin referring to a conversation they had many years ago, while sitting in the same positions “go ahead as long as it does not have anything to do with a strange rash on a specific part of your anatomy”.

 

“Why you, that's not what I meant! That was so long ago, I can't believe you still remember that!” the now red faced half demon screamed at his chuckling brother. Calming down, Inuyasha said “this woman, she has your smell all over her but, she..the pup…it's not yours is it? I don't know if you noticed but…the pup doesn't smell like you. I mean…I know how adultery…” he did not have time to end as he was seized by the neck of his red T-shirt.

 

“Do you really think that this Sesshomarou's sense of smell is inferior to yours? And don't you dare insult Kagura! Not that it is any of your concern but she was already pregnant when we got involved and if I can accept it, so can you!”

 

Inuyasha was shocked as he had never seen his brother lose control over a female before, or even lose control at all. He smiled and just said “chill Sessh, I get it she is important to you, that's all I needed to know! Don't worry I'll treat Kagura as my `sister in law'”.

He added with a wicked smile “As a matter of fact, I'm going to tell her EVERYTHING about you, your childhood, now where are those cute naked baby pictures of you again? Also I'll tell her about your girlfriends or rater lack of and tons of other stuff. Oh don't thank me, that's what little brothers are for”. Inuyasha meant to dash out of the room not wanting to hear his brother's answer to his teasing.

 

But before he could leave Sesshomarou said on a worried tone “Inuyasha there is something I will require your help with. Consider it a favor”.

The half demon had to pinch himself, just to see if he was not dreaming, as the idea of the almighty Lord Sesshomarou asking for a favor or assistance was unthinkable.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

Kagura took a long hot shower and then changed in a long red wool dress and put some order in the room she trashed the day earlier. By the time she came downstairs Rin, Kohaku and Sango were back. Everyone including Kagome and Inuyasha was sitting in the living room. As the wind sorceress scanned the room she saw disappointed that the demon lord was not here. But as Rin ran to her and almost tackled her to the ground with a bear hug her she could not help but smile.

 

“Oh! Miss Kagura there you are! Rin was so afraid something happened to you! You know I think there was a ghost or a monster yesterday in the house. Jaken always swears there aren't any but Rin heard strange noises coming from father's room I think he was fighting them because they were screaming.” Realizing what the little girl was innocently referring to her as the `screaming monster' Kagura became horribly red with embarrassment.

 

“Hum Miss Kagura? You don't look too good are you sick? When I'm sick Jaken makes a special soup for me, do you want some?” she asked with her innocent eyes.

 

Seeing that the wind sorceress was at a loss of words, her `sister in law' came to her rescue. Kagome took Rin by the hand and the two started talking about her beloved cousin Shippou.

 

Inuyasha came next to Kagura and told her “he said to tell you he'll be gone for the day, and not to wait for him. Seriously does that bastard think I'm his mail man or something, guess I can consider myself lucky that I did not have to deliver a love letter” then noticing the scolding expression on the wind wielder's face he quickly added “don't worry he'll be back it's just one day you can survive to be apart that long, right?”

 

Kagura glared at him ready to retort with something sharp when one single powerful word was shot: “SIT”.

 

Inuyasha plunged into the ground. He was really mad that everyone was laughing at him but did not curse, as he knew it would only mean more `sit' commands.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

After lunch the rest of the afternoon went on smoothly and as usual most of the conversation was lead by the little girl, which led Kagura to think `God can this girl talk! Well it's comprehensible; I would also be a damn chatterbox if my father was that cold and insensitive. Well I know now what kind of fire really burns under this block of ice' she added the last part with a chuckle.

 

'You bad, bad girl Kagura' sneered her inner demon

 

`Oh you shut up! You're the one who led me in this mess. Seriously what on earth am I going to do now?!”

 

`Yeah right, shouldn't you be thanking me as you sure as hell enjoyed it.'

 

Her inner discussion was interrupted by the soft feminine voice of Sango “Hum Kagura? Are you listening?”

 

“Hein? Oh! Yeah sorry about that I'm just tired” she said stuttering.

 

“Keh! Looks like someone had a long night yesterday” said the half demon with a grin. The sly comment earned him a death glare from both Kagome and Kagura.

 

The latter got up and after ruffling Rin's hair said she was cranky and needed a nap, truth was she needed to think about her relationship with Sesshomarou.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

As the wind sorceress was laying on the red bed sheets she replayed the last months events over and over in her head. She kept thinking `How did I get here? Naraku and I were happy'

 

`Yeah except for the occasional beating, the verbal abuse and…' her inner demon once again argued.

 

`Oh shut up, you! You always show up when you're not needed' She sighed deeply before continuing `I thought he loved me, I thought we could have been happy with the baby. I was so naïve and stupid too. But look at me, looks like I don't learn from my mistakes. I'm falling for that insensitive dog demon. Oh crap! Did I just say I am falling for him!

 

`Yeah, I must say I think it's too late and you have already fallen hard and deep.'

 

`Didn't I tell you to shut up! That's not true I can't be falling for him. What do I really know about him? Nothing! For all I know he could be a Naraku in disguise'.

 

`Yeah right! You know he's not, besides anyone with a kid as cute as Rin can't be that evil, right? And must I remind you he took a serious beating for you?'

 

`But how can something so wrong feel so right?!'

 

`Maybe it's just right? Anyway you always had bad judgment if I wasn't here to save you all the time…'

 

Unnerved by her inner conflict Kagura shouted “SHUT UP!!!”

 

At that precise moment someone walked in the room “Keh! You sure got some anger management issues to work on. Guess it makes you perfect for the cold bastard”.

 

Kagura sat up and saw it was none other than Inuyasha who walked in the crimson bedroom. She smiled slightly and said “you know that's how I used to call him too, the cold bastard. But not anymore…”

 

The half demon came in and sat, no, more like crouched on the red armchair Sesshomarou used to keep watch on her several nights ago and said “I know, it's just his armor. Appearing cold is his way of protecting himself. By the way Kagura listen, I didn't mean to offend you or anything. I can see Sessh really likes you, so let's just try to get along, okay?”

 

The wind sorceress smiled and nodded thinking that being Sesshoamrou's brother this was as close as to an apology he would ever get. For some reason the thought of the taiyoukai making puppy eyes and saying “I'm sorry” made her want to laugh. She took out her fan and started playing with it and covering the lower half of her face with it she said with bubbling and amused eyes “did Kagome send you up to apologize?”

 

Inuyasha suppressed the urge to growl and only said `Keh!” but when Kagura started laughing whole heartedly he couldn't help a smile.

 

The young hanyou than got up and inspected the room. Surprised by his action Kagura asked him “What are you doing sniffling around like that?”.

 

“Well it's the first time I've been in this room so I'm just curious” he said simply.

 

The demoness furrowed her brows and asked very surprised “weren't you raised in this house?”

 

“Yes, but the door was always locked and Sesshomarou forbid me to come inside. One time I tried to break inside and he gave me one hell of a beating” only the though of it made he half demon wince. “Not long afterwards he sent me away to boarding school.”

 

“You were raised by Sesshomarou?” She asked impressed.

 

“Yeah I was pretty young when my parents died, he took custody of me even if he was not that old himself and he took care of me until I became too much. Keh! He still fells guilty for shipping me to a boarding school, but I understand, I mean I was one hell of troubled kid at the time. Besides that's where I met Kagome .” he said the last sentence with sparkling amber eyes.

 

`He never told me that, at least it explains some things. He had to grow up fast' she thought. “Sounds like she's not the only person he feels guilty about” she whispered the last part to herself but it did not escape the half demon's acute hearing abilities.

 

`And who is this `she'” a very curious Inuyasha asked.

 

Kagura got up and looked outside the window and after taking a deep breath she said not sure if she should be talking about Sesshomarou's past “Shiori”.

 

As she turned around she did not miss the look of utter shock on the hanyou's face he became grim and said “How did you know?”

 

“He told me” she whispered back.

 

“He never talks about her. You must really mean a lot to him” she nodded absentmindedly. And wanting to change the subject asked “why was the room closed?”

 

“Well since he told her about Shiori I guess sooner or later he would talk about her too” Inuyasha mumbled more to himself.

 

“Is there something you want to tell me?” The ruby eyed beauty asked concerned.

 

“Nope, all I can say is ask my idiot of a brother. Anyway I fulfilled my end of the bargain, just tell Kags I apologized, okay?” and with a wave of the hand Inuyasha left the room.

 

`Her? I wonder who Inuyasha was talking about? I guess he's right, I'm going to have to get Sesshy to answer some of my questions'

 

 

(A/N: Next time some light will be shed on Sesshy and Kagura respective families' back story and also who is `her'? Don't miss the next chapter named Truths revealed.

By the way I might not be able to update until next week, sorry but I'm going to be pretty busy all week long.)
