Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, I do wish I did.
I rang the bell, of Kagura's apartment and waited for her to open. For some reason I followed Inuyasha's advice and dressed as casual and relaxed as possible. In his opinion no girl could resist having a `cool daddy'. So I wore a pair of light blue jeans with a simple white shirt. I even tied my hair in a low ponytail.
To my surprise Rin opened the front door. As soon as she saw me, her eyes lightened up and she smiled broadly before grabbing my arm and dragging me inside. We stopped in front of what appeared to be the kitchen. By the smell of it I knew that Kagura was making one of her mother's pasta dishes.
“Mommy, look Mr Inutaishio is here!” my daughter squealed happily.
“Oh you're here? Good, you can help Rin dress the table” Kagura said busy mixing some greens.
“Mom, Rin doesn't need help!” The little girl said with a pout. Stubborn and independent, yep that's my girl.
I did not say anything, but I reached to rest my hand on the top of Rin's raven hair. It was a strange feeling thinking that she was my own flesh and blood.
“Since Rin likes Mr Inutaishio, it's okay” she said with a smile leading me towards the dining room area.
I made a mental note that the first thing we would have to do was to make her call me `father' or at least `dad'. The lawyer side of me then thought of all the legal process we would have to go through before she could legally be my daughter, it would include changing Rin's name from Kaze to Inutaishio of course.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
“It's very good, it tastes just like grandma's” Rin said as she finished her pasta.
“Well thank you. But just so you know, you can flatter me all you want but you're still eating your vegetables” Kagura said pointing her fork towards the unfinished half of Rin's plate. “Same goes for you Sessh” she said glaring at me.
I wondered since when did Miss `peanut butter marshmallow sandwich are the best' became an advocate of healthy food. I guess it comes with the mother instinct or something. But to the point of forcing ME to eat vegetables…Ridiculous, did she not know that Rin and are were both DOG demons? And dog demons do not need to eat vegetables. But anyway I decided to humor her and slowly ate the offending food. Which was worth it as Kagura now had a bright smile on her face.
When we finished dinner, the three of us sat in the living room. After a short silence Kagura finally said “sweetie there's something Sesshomarou and I want to talk to you about.”
“If it is about him being Rin's father, Rin already knows” the little girl said on a sing song tone, her bright amber eyes shifting from Kagura to me. Kagura and I were astonished; personally I was at a loss for words.
“But, how did you know?” Kagura finally asked.
“Well there's the fact that we're both dog demons, and we have almost the same demonic markings, and the amber eyes. As soon as I saw him I knew he was Rin's father. Also you were hugging him mommy, you never hug people. So what do we do now?”
I smirked during Rin's explanation, her intellect and power of deduction impressed me. But as soon as she asked us about the future I became uneasy.
“Well, it's really up to you, but I was thinking that for the remainder of your summer break maybe we could move in with Sesshomarou. See if it works out.” Kagura said.
Rin looked thoughtful for a while, she then got up and said “Rin doesn't want that.” Kagura and I were once again surprised, especially me it had never crossed my mind that maybe my own daughter would reject me.
The little girl than jumped on her mother's lap and encircled Kagura in her arms before saying “Rin wants to stay with him and mommy forever. He makes mommy happy, you've been smiling all week long. And that makes Rin happy. But can I ask something?” My daughter said the last part turning towards me.
I nodded and Rin asked shyly “can I call you daddy?”
I almost sighed in relief, for a second I thought she would ask about Kagura and my relationship. I managed to somehow say “you can”. Hearing my words Rin smiled brightly at me before whispering “daddy”.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
“Rin is hungry” she exclaimed barging in my bedroom. I looked up from the file I was working on, and looked up to see my daughter wearing a pink summer dress. She held something pink and fuzzy in her arms and it took me some time to realize it was none other than `Sesshy' Kagura's former teddy bear.
“There is plenty to eat in the fridge” I said once more turning my eyes to the wrongful termination case once more.
“But there is nothing Rin likes” she said a nice pout on her face and stomping her right foot. This almost made me smile she was so much like her mother.
“Fine, let us go grocery shopping” I said standing up.
Rin had already run to the guest room, that had been remodeled into her room. Since they `temporarily moved in' with me a week ago, Rin has been sleeping in the only guest room, and Kagura in my bedroom. I myself slept on the living room sofa.
At first I did not know that when Kagura said we had to `take things slow' it implied us not sharing a bed. I once more reminded myself not to be too greedy. After all she had moved in with me, and she agreed to give our relationship a try. And it would have to be enough for the time being.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
As soon as we entered the super market I was filled with dread as I asked myself over and over again one question: what to feed a seven years old girl? I had no idea. So far Kagura had been in charge of feeding Rin. But today she had to leave for the office in a hurry, therefore she did not leave anything for Rin.
I decided not to call Kagura, I had to prove to her that I could be a responsible father. Besides I did not want to bother her at work. I then realized that I only had one alternative left, so I took out my cell phone.
“Sesshomarou? Why are you calling? Is Inuyasha alright?” she asked me panicked without even a greeting.
“Why wouldn't he be?” I asked surprised.
“Well, the last time you called was after Inuyasha's motorcycle accident. You called to let me know he was in the hospital getting checked up.”
“As far as I know he is alright. The reason I called is that…I need your help” I struggled to let the words out, asking for help especially from her was the most unpleasant experience, but I would go through it for Rin.
“My help? Is everything alright?” At this point I though that this woman really needed to stop worrying about everything, as her unnecessary concern was seriously getting on my nerves.
“Izayoi, what can this Sesshomarou feed my seven year old daughter?” I asked. The only answer given was compete silence. I waited and after a while she finally said
“I am sorry, Sesshomarou but for a while there I thought you said you had a seven years old daughter”.
I almost rolled my eyes, humans and their pathetic senses. Conversing with her was annoying me, but looking down at Rin's beaming face I forced myself to say “yes I do and her name is Rin”.
“Oh dear! You are at your apartment, right? I will come cook lunch for her” she said but I knew that she was really burning with curiosity and wanted me to answer her many questions. But I agreed none the less.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
“Thank you Mrs. Inutaishio it was very good” Rin said before going to watch TV in my living room. As soon as she left the dining room, I knew my father's wife would start asking questions.
“She is a lovely girl.” Izayoi said before clearing the table not saying another word. She then turned towards me and said “why don't you bring Kagura and Rin over at the house on Sunday? I will also invite the others.” By `the others' I knew she meant Inuyasha, Miroku, Kagome and Sango. I guessed it was time for another one of my step mother's annoying and boring Sunday brunch.
I nodded my approval and she smiled broadly at me. Wanting to get rid of Izayoi as fast as possible, I called my daughter “Rin, come say goodbye”.
She came running holding a horrid green toad like stuffed toy she introduced to me as Jaken.
“Are you leaving Mrs. Inutaishio?” Rin asked.
“Yes, but I will see you on Sunday. And also stop calling me Mrs. Inutaishio, it is way too formal”.
“Well, Rin calls mommy's mother grandma, so can I call you grandma Iza?”
Izayoi looked at me hopefully, I almost, almost felt sorry for the woman who knew if Inuyasha would ever have kids. Personally I prayed not, as if we needed more of him running around. But on the other hand from my side of the family Izayoi would be he closest thing to a grandmother Rin could have, since my own mother died years ago.
“You can” I managed to say without rolling my eyes as the two of them hugged smiling.
“Rin likes `Grandma Iza' a lot” my daughter commented as Izayoi disappeared behind the front door. I did not bother to comment and went back to work in my room. But before I reached the door, Rin took my hand in her smaller one and asked “Daddy, can Rin and Jaken watch TV in your room?”
I was sure that it would prevent me from concentrating fully on my cases but I agreed none the less. After all the reason why Rin and Kagura moved in with me, and that I decided to work from home this week was so that we could spend more time together. Therefore I nodded my approval.
Rin squealed happily and ran to settle herself on my bed amid all my open files.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000
“Damn it all to hell!” I heard Kagura whisper as she bumped into something. I was lying on the couch ready to fall asleep when I heard her, I was sure she bumped into a piece of furniture as she tried to make her way to my bedroom without turning the lights on. She once more cursed as she bumped into something else. All her ruckus was annoying me and I did not want her to wake up Rin.
“I am not sleeping” I said as I sat up. Kagura instantly turned the lights on. She sighed and carelessly dropped her keys on a side table.
“Gods I hate the end of the month. Too much fucking things going on at work!” she said as she grabbed a bottled water from the fridge. “We had to finish this month's issue today. I'm so tired. Did you and Rin have a nice day?” she asked me, heading towards my bedroom.
“Yes” I answered, as she came out. I could not utter another word as I noticed what Kagura was wearing: a tight and very short red night gown. I knew that we were in the middle of summer and that the nights were really hot, but did she have to tempt me? She had even relieved her raven hair from her usual bun…
“What did you guys have for dinner?” she asked as she sat next to me. Our thighs brushed and I felt like a fire was started inside of me.
“She said today was `Pizza Friday'” I answered not looking at Kagura; I knew that if I did I would not be able to control myself.
“Yeah, I hate missing Pizza Friday” Kagura said before snaking under my left arm and pressing herself against my naked chest. She rested her cheek against my shoulder and I could feel her warm breath against my neck.
We stayed like this for a long time, as I felt Kagura relax against me I looked down at her and instantly regretted it. For this action gave me a nice view of her cleavage, which had become quite larger since I last saw her breasts.
I could feel my arousal growing, and knew that soon enough Kagura would also be able to. I was now faced with an important decision, a large part of me wanted to pounce on her but another part wanted to send her back to the bedroom alone. I knew that if she was not ready jumping on her could undo all the efforts I had put in our relationship so far.
What to do?
To be continued…
A/N: I had so much fun writing the last part. Anyway next time we'll see what Sesshy will do. Don't miss the next part, it will be named One big happy family
