A/N: OOC Warning!! Rejoice I wasn't supposed to post until the end of the week, but the fact that I got bored during my lunch break coupled with a cancelled class gave me enough time to write, or maybe Saphira was just really excited to write this chapter…Anyway I'm pretty proud `cause it's a long chappie!

 

 

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

 

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

“You want to know what this Sesshomarou is thinking about?” Seeing Kagura nod he lied “Nothing just work”. He then turned on his side to face her and he said “Kagura, I think we need to talk”.

 

She gulped, as she saw a frightening mix of seriousness, apprehension and nervousness in his golden eyes and as she asked “about what?”

 

As she half expected and half feared he answered “our relationship.”

 

Sitting up and resting her back against the headboard of the bed, Kagura asked “and what about it?” Anxiously awaiting his answer, she started to nervously bite her lower lip.

 

“A few days ago, I told you that as soon as I know, I would tell you why my inner demon claimed you as a member of my pack”.

 

Seeing her nod shyly he continued following his usual going straight to the point attitude, he said “what this Sesshomarou is trying to say is that…I love you”. Not wanting to see Kagura's reaction, he turned around quickly.

 

The wind sorceress felt as if she had just been knocked out.

 

`He loves me? It can't be he… LOVES ME?' Kagura thought, her eyes filling with unshed tears of pure happiness. `Damn these hormones, I can't seem to stop crying!'

 

`As much as I'd love to keep listening to your ranting, maybe it's about time to tell him about your own feelings. Seems to me like he's waiting for you' her inner demon remarked.

 

Looking up Kagura noticed the sad, apprehensive and slightly hurt expression on Sesshomarou's face, and thought `He must not be used to sharing his feelings like this'.

 

Reaching up to stroke his marked cheek before pushing him to look at her she asked “why?” She could not believe that he loved her, she suspected he felt something for her but not to the extent of love. Therefore she needed to know `why'.

 

“Do you really have to ask?” he asked.

 

But seeing the raw emotion of happiness, surprise and uncertainty playing in her eyes he said “You are the most beautiful, brave and simply incredible demoness I ever met.” Then echoing the words of his own inner demon he continued rubbing his thumb on her cheeks “besides you do not fear this Sesshomarou”.

 

“Damn straight!” she answered with a dry small laugh. Licking her lips once more she said “I love you too” she then smiled sadly before adding, “Isn't it funny it could have worked out between us if we had met a few years ago”.

 

Piercing her with a sharp gaze he asked “What are you talking about wind witch?”

 

She sighed and said “I am carrying Naraku's child! Loving me and being with me, would mean that you would have to tke in my baby as well. How can I ask you to raise the child with me? How can I impose on you to be the father of the offspring of the half demon who robbed and murdered your family?!” She could feel a lump forming in her throat and it started hurting her to talk.

 

“Don't be ridiculous!” he almost screamed. “Isn't my decision to make? Yesterday when we were at the hospital, I truly felt like the father of your child. And if you would just let me I could be”. To emphasize his point he put his clawed hand on her stomach.

 

“But you're the Lord of the Western Lands You can't have a spider hanyou…” Kagura started.

 

Sesshomarou shrugged and cut her “I already have a human daughter. Adding a hanyou to my family would not damage my reputation in anyway. Besides no one would dare to challenge this Sesshomarou”

 

The demon lord made a small pause before adding “if I didn't know any better I would say you are looking for excuses in order not to be my mate.” As he let he words out, a flash of pain played in his eyes briefly

 

Kagura opened her eyes wide in horror and hurriedly screamed “No! no! It's just that I…I only want what's best for you. I mean, Isn't it obvious? I am carrying NA-RA-KU's child, the very same half demon who you want to destroy. Besides I keep on creating trouble I mean you almost got killed and…” he did not let her finish as pressed a long finger on her lips to silence her.

 

“Either you think very little of this Sesshomarou to think he doesn't know what he wants, what he does and why he does it or you are a truly foolish demoness.” He sighed and locked his gaze on her ruby red eyes before continuing “this Sesshou..I mean I” he corrected himself remembering when Rin mentioned that his tendency to refer to himself at the third person got easily on people's nerves (he did not fail to notice it was a habit the little girl had also picked up).

 

“I could care less about Naraku and his days are numbered now. Besides as far as I am concerned, just as you said your child to be is your only family.”

He started to caress gently her long messy hair.

 

Kagura was thoughtful and remembered the discussion she had with herself a few days back, after dancing in the snow. Her attention fell on something she had said aloud to her baby.

 

*Flashback*

 

“What I mean is that I have you now, you're my only family”.

 

*End of flashback*

 

As realization dawned on her she exclaimed incredulous “Were you spying on me that day?!”

 

Sesshomarou winced as he realized he just gave himself away. He just shrugged and gave her a seductive smile before saying “maybe I was.”

 

He then continued ”YOU are what is best for me. In the future let me worry about what is best for me and worry about what is best for you. And I believe it would be joining my dysfunctional family.”

 

The comment earned him a small chuckle from Kagura and Sesshomarou added “I know that Naraku has hurt you and I understand, you are afraid of being hurt again. But I can promise I will only show the two of you love.” As if to approve the baby started kicking right under Sesshomarou's hand.

 

Looking down at Sesshomarou's hand covering her distended abdomen Kagura asked bemused “is this really happening?”

 

“Only if you want it too.” He told her.

 

Kagura smiled and as an answer she tenderly kissed his lips, as Sesshomarou was about to deepen the kiss his cell phone rang.

 

“Don't… you…have…to get that?” She asked between kisses.

 

“No” he answered.

 

“What if it's important?” Kagura asked gently pushing him back. He growled low in his throat to which she answered with an innocent smile and a shrug.

 

He flicked open the device and said “Yes, Rin? Why are you calling…Yes,….No,…Of course….Maybe”. Not surprised by his monosyllabic answers Kagura rolled her eyes before snatching the cell phone away.

 

Seeing his shocked expression Kagura stuck her tongue out and said

 

“Hello Rin, it's Kagura….we're all doing great…yes….don't worry I'm taking care of him….of course sweetie. No, he's giving me the `stop messing with me look'…yeah that one” the two girls then started laughing.

 

“Okay Rin give them all a big kiss for me…Don't worry about us and have fun bye!” Kagura then turned off the cell phone and handed it back.

 

Seeing that Sesshomarou was still glaring at her she asked innocently “What?”

 

He chuckled huskily and said “wind witch you shall be punished. No one dares to interrupt this Sesshomarou.”

 

“But I thought you liked the fact that I don't fear you.” She said with a fake pout, but seeing the mischievous look in his eyes she asked “why does it feel like I might just enjoy my punishment?”

 

“You'll have to wait and see” was all he said before bending down to suckle at the tender flesh of her neck.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Kagura entered the library, it was actually her first time entering the room, and she was amazed by its size. As Inuyasha told her she found Kagome sitting on a purple armchair flipping through an enormous book resting in her lap. She had a look of concentration played on her face and the wind sorceress felt bad for disturbing her.

 

Kagura called Kagome's name as gently as possible, but this did not prevent Kagome from being startled and sending the book flying several feet away. Realizing it was just her friend she smiled and sighed loudly. The priestess then retrieved the book from the ground on the cover Kagura could make out the title `study of healing plants'.

 

“Sorry for startling you like that” Kagura apologized.

 

“No it's nothing” Kagome said waving her hand in a dismissive gesture. “But more importantly, I for one did not miss the cute and love struck glances exchanged between Sesshomarou and you during dinner.”

 

She then winked, which caused the wind sorceress to blush. The miko laughed and said “I better be in the bridal party!”

 

Clearing her throat loudly Kagura said “I came to finish the discussion we were having earlier about the transfer of demonic essence. I just want to know what it is and how it works.” She tried to take on a detached attitude, but she could not foul Kagome.

 

“Yeah, I figured you'd want to use it.”

 

“No I was just curious that's all!”

 

“Funny it's exactly the same excuse Sesshomarou used when he asked me about it, you two are truly a match made in heaven” Kagome mused aloud.

 

Then seeing Kagura's surprised expression she continued ”do you remember the day you went shopping with Inuyasha and the kids?”

 

Seeing the wind sorceress nod she went on “the reason why Sesshomarou wanted to stay alone with me was to ask me about the ritual.”

 

Gasping as the reason for Sesshomarou's outburst when Inuyasha suggested for Kagome to come along dawned on her. Kagura thought `since then, he already was thinking about adopting my baby'. A small smile adorned her lips as happiness spread through her.

 

She then asked the miko on a decided tone, “what needs to be done for the ritual?” If Inuyasha and Kagome had successfully done it, she knew that Sesshomarou and her would be able to as well.

 

“Well, as I told him, you are in luck, as the ritual is easier to perform on unborn children. Besides both of your demonic auras are strong, which will also make it easier. Basically all you have to do is promise yourself to one another”.

 

“That's all? Kagura asked surprised.

 

“In other words to accomplish the ritual, you just have to be mated properly and mark each other. Consider yourself lucky, Inuyasha had to mark Shippou in order to get his hanyou blood in our son's blood stream. But since you and the baby share the same blood…” the priestess trailed off.

 

“I see, thank you Kagome. See ya!” The wind sorceress than left the room.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“So I hear that you and the demon lord are madly in love” Miroku asked teasingly. “So on a scale on 1 to 10 how is he in bed? You do know that is one of the most important things, right?”

 

Kagura looked at her best friend who was still bed ridden due to his hip and leg injury, at the precise moment she regretted that Naraku's men had not injured his mouth when they ran him over.

 

“You really are a pervert, aren't you?!” She scolded him.

 

“Come on, I am dying of boredom here, it's been five days since I've been stuck in this bed. Give me some sort of entertainment. Come on you know you want to tell me.” He then grinned widely.

 

“On a scale of 1 to 10 hum, easy he's a 20!” she exclaimed with a small laugh.

 

Miroku started laughing too, that was until Kagura decided to turn the tables on him and asked “so, I hear that you and our little demon slayer are getting pretty close” she asked grinning.

 

“Oh! Sango, has managed to ravish my heart. She truly is an angel among us mere mortals, she is…”

 

“Not willing to hear any more non sense coming from you” a painfully red Sango cut him, as soon as she entered the room. She was blushing so furiously that Kagura had a hard time not showing her own amusement. In her opinion these two belonged together.

 

“Oh my Goddess have you come to spend another afternoon by my side? Time seems to flow so much faster when I feast on your beauty” Miroku said extending his hand towards Sango.

 

Kagura had more trouble contending her laughter at each passing second, luckily she could hide most of her amusement behind her fan.

 

“Lord Sesshomarou sent me to look for Kagura, so don't get too happy about seeing me. He's waiting in his study” she said the last part after she turned around to face Kagura.

 

“No need to make excuses Sango, everyone knows you've been spending every afternoon by Miroku's side. I can understand you, he may be a lecher, but he is quite a nice guy” The wind sorceress teased on her way to join her lover.

 

“I…no…It's not” Sango said blushing even more.

 

“Hey was that suppose to be a compliment” the photographer asked, but he received no answer as the wind sorceress had already left the room.
