“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

 

Kagura was sitting in the gardens of the mansion, she looked around and just enjoyed the feeling of Nature waking up from its winter sleep. It was almost the end of the month of March and her favorite season, spring was right at the corner. She was so happy that she would be giving birth during spring.

 

“Only a few weeks to go” she said aloud as she patted her unbelievably large abdomen. She then looked down at her neck and saw both her engagement ring and wedding band hanging on a gold chain around her neck. She would have to wait after the baby was born before being able to slip them back on her fingers, which had also become swollen due to her pregnancy.

 

She thought back at her wedding with Sesshomarou. After Naraku's death she did not want to wait anymore, and less than three weeks later they got married. Kagome almost single handedly organized the whole thing. Rin was the flower girl, Shippou the ring bearer, Inuyasha the best man, Kagome, Sango were her bride's maid and Yura her maid of honor. And of course Miroku was the one to marry her, Kagura remembered with a smile how shocked she had been to learn that he actually truly was a licensed priest.

 

It was a beautiful winter wedding. They exchanged their vows among a rather large crowd in the mansion's gardens under the snow. Thinking back at the beautiful memory, Kagura sighed in contentment.

 

Many people attended the wedding ceremony, she did not mind after all it was the Lord of the Western Lands' wedding. Since many nobles made the trip to be present for the ceremony, they had to house several of them at the mansion, to Jaken's irritation.

 

Thankfully, the mansion was now so peaceful and calm, that is until Rin came back from school. The sweet little girl was worse than her father, as she took her big sister role very seriously, always checking on `her mommy' not letting her stand on her feet for more than five minutes. Kagura even had to hide from her to just take her little walks outside. She just had no one else to bother since Shippou and Kohaku left.

 

Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippou left right after the wedding, as the half demon insisted he had to go back to work at the shrine, since Kagome's grandfather could not take care of everything by himself.

 

Miroku also moved out, but to Kagura's surprise and delight he actually moved in with Sango and Kohaku, the demon slayer swore that it was only until Miroku was healthy enough to be by himself, but Sango was not fooling anyone.

 

The wind sorceress was also very grateful that Kanna was now able to lead the life of a normal teenage girl. The void demoness was cleared of all charges based on the testimonies of the people who attended the ball and was now attending a prestigious boarding school, all thanks to Sesshomarou's influence and her own intelligence of course. Hakudoushi on the other hand was in prison, but he did receive a plea bargain for confessing all his crimes (including running over Miroku).

 

“What are you thinking about?” Sesshomarou interrupted Kagura's thoughts as he sat down next to her on the bench.

 

She leaned on his shoulder and answered with a mischievous grin “you of course”.

 

Sesshomarou grinned back at her and looked surprisingly at his beloved mate. Kagura was using two fingers and pressing into the side of her distended abdomen.

 

“What are you doing?” Sesshomarou finally asked his curiosity getting the best of him.

“Nothing, just trying to get our son to move, so that he won't be pressing on my bladder anymore! I am seriously getting tired of running to the bathroom every ten minutes”.

 

Sesshomarou smiled and gently stroked her belly. After a minute or so of sitting in silence he stood up. Sesshomarou then extended his hand and helped Kagura stand up, as she could barely do it by herself anymore. She looked up at him and saw that his eyes were unusually sparkling.

 

“What's up with you?” she finally asked as they were walking towards the mansion.

 

He shrugged and held the door for her. She was about to question him again, but as she entered she smelled familiar scents that she had not smelled in well over four years. Kagura shot Sesshomarou a questioning glance, but he simply nodded towards the living room.

 

As soon as she entered Kagura felt someone smother her in a bone crushing hug. After a while she could make out that it was none other than her mother Kaguya. As the older demoness let her go, Kagura saw that her sister Tsubaki along with her father Mushin were here. She was at a loss for words and looked at Sesshomarou who was standing in the doorway.

 

So many conflicting emotions were going through her head but anger prevailed, she gently but forcefully pushed her mother away and looked straight at her father when she said “You kick me out and disinherit me , and now after all these years you expect me to welcome you in my home with a hug and a bright smile?!” At her words her entire family had deeply shocked expression on their faces.

 

After a minute of silence Kagura then added “I get it, when I was with Naraku I was not good enough, but now that I am married to a wealthy Lord suddenly you want to be back in my life?!” the now enraged wind sorceress screamed.

 

“Kagura, honey it is not…” her mother tried to say through her sobs.

 

“Save your breath” Kagura retorted as she turned around ready to march out of the room.

 

She was on her way out when Sesshomarou stopped her by putting his hand on her shoulder “You are mistaken wind witch, this Sesshomarou was the one who invited them.” Seeing the questioning glance Kagura shot him he continued “it appears that during the years they tried to contact you, but Naraku would no let them.”

 

Kagura incredulously looked at her crying mother who her sister was trying to comfort as best she could. The wind sorceress's gaze then went up to her father. His usual cold and emotionless mask was in place and she finally asked no louder then a whisper “is it true?”

 

Her father loudly cleared his throat before saying “yes. I was wrong and I apologize for the pain I caused you. Once I realized my mistake, I tried to find you, it took me years but I found you when I read one of your articles in Youkai Daily.”.

 

Kagura looked once more at Sesshomarou, he nodded and let go of her arm. She then started crying and hugged her mother and sister repeatedly saying how much she was sorry, and how much she had missed them.

 

Kaguya wiped her tears and looking at her daughter said “look at you, mated and pregnant, you're so beautiful. Oh my God I'm going to be a grandma! Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating enough, when I was pregnant with you…”

 

“Aunt Tsubaki? Doesn't sound half bad, I like it” Kagura's younger sister cut in.

 

“Women, let her breathe!” Mushin finally said, cutting off the two women's babbling. His interruption caused the three of the women to giggle and laugh.

 

After a while, Kagura extended her hand in Sesshomarou's direction, he took his wife's hand and joined the laughing group. Seeing the almost imperceptible smile on Sesshomarou's face as she introduces him to her family, Kagura thought to herself:

 

`Everything will be alright from now on. I am going to be happy. Who could have ever thought that my happiness was just beyond a brick wall?'

 

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000

Extra scene (wasn't supposed to be in here, but I just could not resist…)

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000

 

 

Kagura was lying on the white sheets of the bed she shared with Sesshomarou. Her breathing was hard and labored and her legs were spread wide as she kept screaming “Gods Sesshomarou!”

 

The said demon lord was kneeling on the floor next to her and having his hand crushed. Sesshomarou tried his best not to show in how much pain he was at the present moment. Between the way his wife was squeezing his left hand, and the unbelievably loud screaming she unleashed in his extremely sensitive ears, Sesshomarou could bet Kagura was not the only one in agony.

 

“Gods Sesshy, you better be content with only having Rin as a daughter and him as an heir, because I swear, I am NEVER, and I mean it NEVER going through this again! Do you hear me?!” He could only nod weakly as Kagura kept ranting and screaming, luckily for him another contraction hit and she had to stop talking.

 

“Milady Kagura you need to start pushing.” Kaede said. As a favor, the head of the maternity ward of General Hospital accepted to deliver the first born of the Lord of the Western Lands, but Kikyou's sister was starting to regret her decision, as she was sure that the lady's screaming was sure to give her an incredible headache.

 

“All this is Jaken's fault. I swear I will skin this fucking toad alive when I get my hands on him” the wind sorceress managed to scream just before she was hit by another contraction.

 

Sesshomarou was still wondering how a remark from the stupid butler could have gotten to Kagura so easily. Just as all arrangements had been made for her to give birth in the maternity ward of General Hospital, (where she could have gotten an epidural and thus avoiding for Sesshomarou to have his hand broken three times over), Kagura had told him that she changed her mind and wanted to give birth the old fashioned way and at home. At the time he just thought `who am I to deny her what she wants?' But now he regretted complying with her wishes more than anything.

 

 

Rin later told him that Kagura and her had over heard Jaken say that “it was already a shame that the heir to the Western Lands was not technically conceived in the Lord's bed. But that he would not be born in the mansion was unforgivable”. His sweet little girl then asked Sesshomarou to explain the meaning of the words spoken by the imp. Of course the Lord could not explain in details the transfer of demonic essence or how babies are made, so he only answered “ask Aunt Kagome when she comes here for a visit” wishing that by then the little girl will have completely forgotten about the question.

 

Naturally it never crossed his mind to send Rin and her questions to Kagura, as he was sure the wind sorceress would have sent a couple of wind blades at him.

 

A hard squeeze on his hand painfully reminded Sesshomarou where he was, and he muttered “wind witch you will not be the only one to skin the imp”.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

After twelve long hours of labor, an exhausted Kagura was finally able to hold her son in her arms. She was sitting against the headboard of the bed with Sesshomarou sitting next to her. Her husband brushed her sweaty bangs to reveal her forehead and kissed it tenderly before saying “he is beautiful”.

 

Kagura managed a small smile and gently kissed the tiny blue crescent moon on the baby's forehead, the only visible sign that the Transfer of demonic essence had been successful.

 

Sesshomarou reached out a clawed finger to gently brush the small amount of black hair on his son's head and Kagura said “well he takes after his mother”.

 

Sesshomarou chuckled lightly just as the door of the bedroom was flung open. This time Sesshomarou did not even bother to scold his daughter for her lack of manners.

 

Rin jumped on the bed and said “Mommy, daddy Rin wants to see her baby brother”.

 

Kagura handed over the baby to her mate as she was really too tired and in pain. Sesshomarou clumsily held on to the small bundle of joy as Rin crouched to inspect her brother. She gently brushed one of the baby's soft pale cheeks and after some time the little girl said “He looks just like mommy. What color are his eyes?”

 

Kagura answered “we don't know, he didn't open them yet”

 

Rin seemed thoughtful for a while before saying “open your eyes baby brother. Come on Rin wants to see, so open your…”

 

Sesshomarou cut in, “Rin I don't think that…”But he did not get to finish as the little boy shyly opened his eyes to reveal a deep shade of amber. Before yawning and closing them back.

 

“He has your eyes daddy!” the little girl squealed.

 

“So it seems.” Sesshomarou answered filled of fatherly pride before adding “and just like his mother he is very tired”. After he got up to put his son in his crib, he bent over Kagura to gently press his lips to hers and added “Come Rin, let your mother rest”.

 

But before he could make it out of the room Kagura asked “Sesshy what do you want to name him?”

 

He did not even flinch at the use of `Sesshy' as he had grown accustomed to it during the past months. Sesshomarou thought for a second and said “Touga. It was my grandfather's name”.

 

“Touga. Touga Kaze Inuyoukai I like that” Kagura murmured before quickly falling asleep.

 

 

THE END
