InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love And Wishes ❯ Dinner ( Chapter 3 )

Winds Of The Heart

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sess lent Kagura his upper cloak, which hung down her knees, forcing her to turn her head. She hated to feel dainty and weak, but she did admit she loved the few scars covering Fluffy's pale chest, making him seem so much more endearing.

 

“We there yet?” she toyed with him just to tick him off.

 

“No, ask again and I'm throwing you off.” He was irritated to the point of his face turning red, cause no matter what, he wouldn't blush, even if Kagura's chest was pressed to his back, or would it?

 

“Are we there yet?” she smirked at how uncomfortable she made him.

 

“No.” now he was getting serious, so she stopped and sighed, Fluffy would have slaughtered anyone else who dared to mock him, but he only threatened her, why? “Why do you put up with me?” she finally asked.

 

“Because it'd be rude to mistreat a lady.” That had Kagura set back on her heels.

 

Her eyebrows narrowed as she saw the smirk on his face, is this how Sess acts when no one else is around? “You said that just to irk me!” she accused, and Sess smirk turned into a grin.

 

“You always seem to amuse me.” He answered truthfully this time, and he kept his grin until the Castle came into view and his face became expressionless again. And he moved his jaw around. “How do you people keep smiling so long?” he asked, and Kagura went into hysterics.

 

“You're a riot fluffy.” She said and giggled some more.

 

“Quiet now, the castle is close.” He warned and his cloud went at a slower, leisurely pacing itself to the stone structure.

 

When he landed in the courtyard a raven-haired girl and a green toad with a staff were they're waiting for him. “Lord Sesshoumaru is back! Rin is happy now!” The girl said and jumped up, attaching herself to Sesshoumaru's neck.

 

“Milord, welcome back, eh…who's that?” the toad asked pointing the heads at Kagura.

 

“Hey, watch where you point that thing, toad!” Kagura said and smacked the staff away.

 

“You can't treat a vassal of the great,”

 

“Shut up Jaken.” Sesshoumaru told him and helped Kagura inside. “Rin, can you show Kagura…”he started but saw Kagura kneeling down to Rin and listening to what she had to say.

 

“Rin's name is Rin! Rin wants to know your name!”

 

“Kagura's name is Kagura darling.” She copied Rin's loud and upbeat tone.

 

“Rin likes Kagura.” Rin announced to everyone and skipped along.

 

“Kagura likes Rin.” She smirked as she passed the impassive face of Sesshoumaru. “Your highness.”

 

“Call me Sesshoumaru.” He said and waved her off to follow Rin.

 

“Milord, why is she wearing your shirt?”

 

“She was naked in the western forest, closest to Inu-Yasha's village, I gave her clothes.”

 

“Alright, but isn't that the wind witch Naraku made?”

 

“Yes, she had died, but why is she here? I think that girl that hangs around Inu-Yasha must play a part in this.” He turned to get himself another shirt from his wardrobe. “We will pay that village a visit soon.”

 

“Aye milord.” Jaken followed him.

 

While they walked he noticed the gossip the servants were talking about, the tall thin wind witch, had gossip flying around like a contagion. Some that she had been enslaved, some of her being a relative of Rin's, and his personal favorite was that Kagura was his newest lover. Jaken snorted and told those servants off, even though Sesshoumaru wouldn't mind sharing a bed with her himself.

 

Rin came up charging into Sess's room after he put on a new shirt, with a fully dressed Kagura behind her. His impassive face nearly melted when she saw her in a more feminine version of his clothes, white single piece kimono, with a purple sash-tie and unique purple designs on the sleeves and fringes. The actual kimono hugged her every curve, even a little more so than the kimono she wore while she was with Naraku.

 

“Rin showed Kagura the wardrobe, and picked out her outfit!” she said excitedly and walked up to Kagura, who was blushing from the gaze she was getting from Sesshoumaru.

 

“When's dinner?” Kagura asked, getting Sesshoumaru's gaze off her hips and chest, and to her face.

 

“Dinner is at 6 sharp, Rin, why don't you show Kagura around the castle.” He said monotonously.

 

Rin jumped and jogged out of the room. “Is she always like this?” Kagura asked and Sesshoumaru nodded. The women left and Sesshoumaru waved Jaken to go find something else for him to do, he had business to attend to.

 

Near the far side of the hall leading to the room was a bright white torch stick, when pulled revealed a passage; which was Sesshoumaru's goal. The passage he went down was dark and dank, the walls were lined with cobwebs and dust, yet he never even noticed, he had a task to accomplish.

 

The winding staircase he was going down led to an old steel door, with an orb in the middle, his claws touched the orb and it began to glow bright purple. “Yes my son?” A woman asked from the orb. She looked like Inu-Yasha's mother, except with deep purple eyes and white long hair.

 

“Mother.” The word came out with almost no disdain this time.

 

“Why have you come? The throws of fatherhood and love have the great Sesshoumaru in confusion?” she playfully mocked.

 

Infuriating woman… “Yes for the first part. I want her to be my childe, the princess if you will, but being a human…”

 

“Aye, its difficult to raise a human as a demon, different needs and stages, but you can't turn her, unless you want to part with Tokijin.”

 

“Why…” he trailed off.

 

“If you don't act soon the darkness could over power her innocence, and she could become so evil…”

 

“Wait, how?”

 

“Well the innocence of a child is strong, it even managed to warm your frigid heart. But the innocence only lasts for so long…are you sure you still want to try?” her voice said for him to dare to care.

 

“Of course I'll try, she's a tough girl, she'll live through it. But about that last part…”

 

“Its as plain as day to how much you love this Kagura. Just be a man, oh and in order for the land to achieve peace as you want, you need to open this door, but only the men of your bloodline can open it, together, your father and brother need to help you.”

 

“But!” he tried to protest but, his mother disappeared from her orb and Sesshoumaru left the door, the corridor, returning the torch in place, and left his chambers to wander, to think.

 

How can I get Inu-Yasha to help me when I want to kill him, and how the hell can dad help me of she's dead? What does she mean break Tokijin for Rin to by my own? Hmmmm…

 

His thoughts raced for hours and hours and on end, until Rin's cheery voice broke through. “LORD! Dinner's served!” she yelled at him, which made the servants flinch and Kagura laugh, Sesshoumaru wasn't one to take getting yelled at. He laughed, a warm laugh and a the smallest smile in history graced his face. Now the servants were worried, and Jaken hid behind the wind witch.

 

“Okay Rin, whatever you say.” He followed as they led to the dinning hall, which was pleasantly decorated with purples and silvers of all tints and hues.

 

The table had been set, a long table made of pure marble, sat in the middle with plates filled with steaks, potatoes, and other delights. Sesshoumaru, naturally sat at the head, Kagura to his left (or was his left), Rin To his right, Jaken left them. The lord set his swords down in the corner earlier, muttering something like, “I like to go through a meal without killing something.”

 

Sesshoumaru was left handed, so learning to use his right hand for eating, and to cut his meat one handed was a huge hassle for him. Kagura immediately noticed. “Would you like some help?” she asked pleasantly.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at her with a look of malice, but changed it when she was seriously asking if he would like some help. He nodded once and Kagura snapped her fingers, the air slicing up the meat easily.

 

“WOW! Can Kagura teach Rin to do that?” Rin asked excitedly as the meat just fell into perfect shapes.

 

“Thank you.” Sesshoumaru said softly and continued eating.

 

“Uh, I think so- wait a minute! Did you just thank me?” her eyes widened, she knew Sesshoumaru wasn't one to `thank' anybody. “Are you sick?” she felt his forehead.

 

“I'm fine, and don't push your luck, it was a one-time thing.”

 

“So can you teach me?” Rin asked through a mouthful.

 

“Finish your food before you talk, and I guess I could try.” Kagura answered and placed a small cut of meat in her mouth.

 

“I was meaning to ask you, Kagura, do you remember anything to tell us why you're here?” Sesshoumaru asked not looking up, knowing if he did he'd be distracted by Kagura's moving mouth.

 

“Uh…nope, I hope Naraku's dead.”

 

“Yea, he's dead, Inu-Yasha killed him. His scent is gone and so is his presence. Not to mention your burn mark.”

 

“It feels good to not have that ugly thing anymore.”

 

“I completely agree.” Sesshoumaru muttered, but Kagura heard.

 

“What's that mean?”
