“Damn woman stop squirming and listen!” I screamed, I really had enough of her stubbornness. She must have been surprised because she stopped moving and looked up at me.

 

“Fine, go on.” She said stomping her right foot.

 

“Kagura the reason I left all those years ago, was that…” I started but did not have time to finish as the door of her apartment opened to reveal a young girl?!

 

“Mommy when are you coming back inside? We have to finish the cake!” the little girl whined. She then looked up at me and asked “who are you and what are you doing to my mom?”

 

MOM! I could not believe my ears, Kagura had a daughter? And then it hit me, my heart started pounding, my throat felt too dry and my palms became sweaty: what if the girl was…mine? I needed to be sure, I had no idea how old a kid of her size could be so I asked

 

“How old are you?”

 

“Rin is seven years old but will turn eight in May! Why do you ask? Are you one of mommy's friends?”

 

I barely registered the little girl's question as I was too busy looking at her. She may have had her mother's raven hair, but the amber eyes, along with the single pink stripe she had on each of her cheeks indicated that she was my daughter. The last sign that erased any doubt I could have ever had, was the blue crescent adorning her forehead. It was slightly hidden by her thick black bangs, but it was there. The same blue crescent that proudly distinguished the first born of a demon in my family. I myself being my father's first son had the same blue crescent.

 

Rin was my daughter, my own flesh and blood. And I had no idea she existed until now. For a split second I wondered what would have happened if I had had children with my ex wife, and that our first born did not have the crescent mark. Would I have then realized I had an offspring somewhere in the world? I mentally shook my head, it really was not the time for hypothetical questions.

 

I looked down a Kagura, she was still in my arms and was avoiding my questioning gaze. I wanted to shake her and make her give me answers, how dare she keep such a thing from me? I was the girl's father! I had a right to know! I wanted answers so I simply uttered her name “Kagura?”

 

“Not now, not in front of her. Please Sesshomarou. I know we both have some explaining to do but not here and now”.

 

She finally looked up at me and the great sadness I saw in her ruby red eyes cut me in two. I simply nodded and reluctantly let her go.

 

“Mommy is that a friend of yours?” Rin asked once more. I was curious to see what Kagura would answer. I did not expect her to tell the girl I was her father, after all even I needed time to assess the situation. Me, a father!

 

“Yes, a vey old friend I haven't seen him in a very long time” Kagura said as she turned towards OUR daughter.

 

“What's your name? I am Rin Kaze, I live here with mommy” the little girl said cheerfully. I could already tell that she had not inherited my calm demeanor. I did not fail to notice that the girl's name was Kaze just like her mother's. This realization hurt me, but what was I expecting?

 

“My name is Sesshomarou Kichiro Inutaishio” I usually hated using my full name, but I figured my daughter needed to know at least this much about me.

 

Rin clasped her hands over her mouth. “Oh wait! I did not say my full name, let me go again. My name is Rin Taishi Kaze” she said a huge smile on her face.

 

Her middle name was `Taishi' as in Inutaishio, so Kagura did name her after me in some way. At the same time, this made me proud and made my heart ache even more. Out of the corned of my eye I looked at my wind witch, she had her eyes locked on Rin.

 

“Sesshomarou? Wait it sounds like Sesshy! Mommy's teddy bear, the one she gave me?” Rin said.

 

I almost smiled `Sesshy' was the ridiculous name Kagura gave to a pink teddy bear I gave her on our first Valentine's day together. She said that it was the cutest thing I ever got her so that it deserved a cute name as well. Hence the ridiculous name `Sesshy', at least she stopped calling me `Sesshy' as she did not want to `hurt the teddy bear's feelings. Crazy wench. Maybe crazy but still in love with me, otherwise why would she keep `Sesshy' for all these years? And even give him to our daughter?

 

“Did you give it to her?” Rin asked me with bright amber eyes.

 

“Yes I did” I answered.

 

“When, why, how?” Rin asked with a broad smile. She then added “tell me the story, please oh pretty please. After all mom said Prince Charming gave it to her”.

 

Prince charming, who me? I looked over at Kagura and she was blushing a nice shed of red.

 

“No time for old stories, Sesshomarou was living” the wind witch said as she headed for her front door.

 

“Can't he at least stay for dinner? Can he wait to taste our cake?” Rin asked. I noticed she had the same pout as her mother.

 

I figured that if I wanted to see more of my two women, I had to play nice. So I sided along with Kagura on this one. As much as I wanted to spend the evening with the two of them, and get to know Rin better, I figured that Kagura did not want me there. Besides we both needed time to think.

 

“Kagura is right, I have matters to attend”. The sad expression on Rin's face hurt me, but I had to stay firm on this one.

 

“Okay, Rin understands. Good bye Mr Inutaishio” she then smiled and ran inside. I found it strange to have my own daughter call me by my last name. But in time I was sure she would call me `daddy'.

 

“In two days Rin has a birthday party to attend. I'll use the occasion to go to your place, just give me your address I'll come see you.” Kagura said.

 

I took out my business card and wrote my address on the back, along with my cell phone number. When I handed the card to Kagura, our fingers brushed it may have been just a fraction of a second, but it was enough to send shivers down our spines. She quickly took the card and retreated to her apartment.

 

I went back home, a nice smile playing on my lips.

“You what?! You're fucking kidding, right? That's not possible!”

 

“Inuyasha, how many times will I have to tell you? Stop using so many profanities! Especially at the office.”

 

But I was not surprised by his colorful vocabulary, after all he just learned he was uncle to a seven years old girl.

 

“But how did this happen?” Miroku asked putting down the folder we were working on in my office.

 

“One would think that a pervert like you would not need to ask such a question” I remarked. Miroku laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head with his right hand.

 

“Well I'll be damned fluffy is a dad. So what are you going to do now?” If I had not been thrown back by Inuyasha's question, I would have beaten him up for daring to call me fluffy.

 

“I mean are you going to get joint custody of Rin?” I recognized the lawyer side of my brother. Even if he and Miroku were technically still in law school, they worked part time in our family's law firm. They very often assisted me and I have to admit that Inuyasha Miroku and I made a good legal team. Of course I would never let any of these two know that.

 

“Are Kagura and you going to get together again? You guys could move in together or even get married! A love story that transcends time how romantic!” the pervert exclaimed.

 

Looking over my desk at these two idiots made me realize what a strange relationship we have. We may be forced to interact because we often worked together, but at the same time they were the closest things to friends that I had, which was quite pathetic. After all Miroku was Inuyasha's best friend since childhood and also I was not raised with Inuyasha even if my half brother was only two years younger than me.

 

“This Sesshomarou does not see why I should tell you what I plan to do” I retorted to their questioning.

 

“Keh! In other words you have no fucking idea of what to do. And that scares the shit out of you” my brother said with a grin.

 

“I have to agree with Inuyasha. But do not worry it is quite understandable. If one of my exes told me out of nowhere that I had a seven years old child I would be horrified” Miroku said nodding his head.

 

“Pfft! What exes? Besides aren't you always asking women to bear your child every two seconds?” Inuyasha asked his friend. The two of them then started bickering, and I got bored.

 

I stood up and looked out the window of my office. As much as these two imbeciles got on my nerves, they were right. What should I do? Should I ask Kagura for join custody of Rin? Or maybe visitation rights for starters?

 

That would never do, I wanted to have both my wind witch and my daughter. Maybe Miroku was right, maybe I should ask Kagura to move in with me, of course she would never accept. Maybe not, my apartment was very spacious, I lived in one of the best school districts (something told me Kagura was against private schools), and my neighborhood was very safe.

 

My little reflection was interrupted by the ring of my cell phone. I did not recognize the caller ID, but was pleasantly surprised when picked up and was greeted by none other than Kagura's voice.

 

“Yo Sessh it's just to tell you that I'll come over around five thirty. You'll be home by then?”

 

“Yes”

 

“Okay, well see you at five thirty Bye ho!”

 

“Bye ho” I answered back. I did not know if the fact that she used our secret greeting was an unconscious act of habit, or a proof that she had not forgotten about it and consequently me? Or maybe it showed how much she longed for the days we spent together?

 

“Damn Sessh you're freaking me out!” Inuyasha screamed.

 

I guess that I must have had a clueless facial expression, because Miroku supplied an explanation “We've never seen you looking so `happy'. You were smiling. Are you sure you're alright?”

 

I had to breathe deeply, I needed to come down. How dare these idiots make fun of me? But I decided to let it go, something told me that my father and step mother would not be too happy if I decapitated their son, and Miroku just was not worth the trouble….

 

“Let us get back to work” I said as I once more sat behind what used to be my father's desk.

 

I needed to finish up this ridiculous malpractice case we were working on as fast as possible, so that I would have time to focus on how to get my wind witch back.

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: So how was it? Leave me a review. Next time, Sesshy puts his plan into action, keep your eyes opened for part 5 it will be named Negotiations.
