I surfed desperately through the different channels, trying to find something relatively interesting on TV. I once more stole a glance at Kagura who was sitting on the couch next to me. I was sure that as soon as we would put Rin to bed she would start questioning me. But she just sat att the other end of the sofa, reading a novel, as if I was not here.

 

Ever since our small encounter with Naraku at the restaurant, my mate barely spoke a word to me. Even when we spent the afternoon at the park, she only spoke to Rin. Her silent treatment was seriously irritating me. This really was not the way I had envisioned spending our first day as mates.

 

I just had about enough. I turned off the TV and looked at Kagura. She looked away from her book and stared back at me.

 

“What's wrong?” she asked me as she closed doggie eared her page and put her book aside.

 

“You tell me. I know you wish to ask me something, it is not a habit of yours to hesitate” I retorted.

 

My wind witch looked thoughtful for a while, as if she was looking for the best way to formulate her next sentence.

 

“Who was the creepy guy talking about?” she asked. So I was right after all, she was burning to ask this question.

 

“My ex wife” I said on a calm voice, for some reason I knew Kagura would be angry at me.

 

For a few seconds Kagura stayed silent, which I knew did not bode anything good for me. “You were married before?! Why did you not tell me?” she screamed.

 

“I did not think it mattered” I answered calmly.

 

“Are you kidding? Of course it matters!”

 

“Are you going to tell me you have not dated anyone during our eight years apart?” After asking the question I almost slapped myself, as a part of me really did not want to think about the other men who touched MY wind witch.

 

“I only went on a couple of dates with one guy in college. He ran off after he found out about Rin. Yeah. It's not easy to date when you're a single mom” Kagura retorted.

 

Her words hit me as if I had been punch in the stomach, I could see that she still blamed me and was still mad at me for not being there during the past eight years, but of course that I could understand. It might be wrong and incredibly selfish, but a large part of me rejoiced greatly at the thought that she had not been with anyone else but me.

 

“How long were you married?” She asked me, I once more knew she would not like the answer to this question.

 

“Three years”.

 

“You were married for three fucking years and you did not think telling me would matter? You're kidding right?” she said even louder.

 

“Calm down. I was barely nineteen when we were married. Besides, it was merely a marriage of convenience, it was to consolidate the financial alliance between her family and mine”. By the look of fury in her eyes I could tell that Kagura did not like my explanations.

 

“Did you sleep with her?” she asked me. It was a rather stupid question to ask in my opinion. Considering that we were married for three years, but none the less I answered by nodding.

 

“Marriage of convenience my ass!” she exclaimed.

 

“Why are you angry? There was no love between us, she was of no importance to me. Proof is that I did not even mark her. Our union was a sham from the start, when I found out she was sleeping with Naraku, I had enough and decided to ask for a divorce.” I said a little louder than I intended to. Truth is, that her jealousy was getting on my nerves. Well, the bright side was that by her display of jealousy she showed me her love for me…

 

“When was that? When did you get divorced?” she asked me crossing her arms over her chest. I could tell she was trying to calm down.

 

“Three years ago. I will let you know that we did not part good friends”.

 

“I just can't believe you would hide something this important from me! I'm your mate aren't I? You're supposed to tell me stuff like that! Hell you're supposed to tell me EVERYHING!”

 

And here we go again with the screaming. Did she not know how sensitive my ears are? Or maybe she wanted to hurt me? A part of me wanted to remind her that we had mated less than twenty four hours ago, and therefore did not have time to tell each other `everything'.

 

But before I could retort, I heard a faint sobbing sound coming from the corridor. I mentally cursed as I smelt the salty scent of tears and fear. I did not need to look up to know it was Rin, our screaming must have awakened her.

 

I raised my hand to silence Kagura and said on a soothing voice “You can come out Rin, everything is alright”.

 

Our daughter shyly came out of the darkness of the corridor. She was wearing her pink pajamas and was crushing both of her stuffed toys `Jaken' and `Sesshy' to her chest. She was still sniffling as Kagura took her in her arms. I walked towards them and gently caressed Rin's hair.

 

“Why are you fighting? Rin doesn't like it when you fight” she said trying her best to stop sobbing.

 

“Forgive us sweetie, daddy and mommy were just being silly. Don't worry, we're not really fighting. It's nothing, stop crying” Kagura said on a sweet voice as she wiped Rin's tears.

 

Despite her mother's best efforts, Rin did not stop crying. So I reached out and took my daughter in my arms, I had an idea of how to calm her down as I remembered that just like myself Rin was a DOG demon. I encircled my daughter in my arms and I started to purr, I was sure the action would instinctively calm her. I could tell that at first both of my women were surprised, hell even I was, as it was my very first time to purr.

 

But I did not stop and Kagura started to gently rub Rin's back. When I felt Rin relax, I looked down and realized she had fallen asleep. We then went to her room and put her back in her bed.

As Kagura and I laid in our bed, each of us strictly sticking to our side of the bed, she finally confessed “the idea that there has already been a Mrs. Sesshomarou Inutaishio bothers me.”

 

I rolled on my side and faced her “I have not seen her ever since the divorce papers were signed. Besides it is not the first woman to bear the name that matters, but rather the last. And I can assure you, this woman will be none other than you”.

 

My words must have appeased her, because Kagura smiled brightly before saying “but you have yet to ask me…”

 

I almost rolled my eyes and thought `as if I needed to' but none the less I asked “will you marry me?”

 

Kagura looked at me, an expression of feigned shock on her delicate face “what no outrageously expansive diamond ring?!”

 

I grinned and said “I can give you so much better than a ring”. I then hungrily kissed her, slipping my hands under her T-shirt.

I was in such a good mood that morning that I knew I would be able to endure the tedious Sunday brunch Izayoi so happily enjoyed hosting. I guessed that people were right when they said `make up sex was the best'. I then made a mental note to find a few ways to get Kagura angry, if only from time to time to have an opportunity to `make up'.

 

I looked over at my wind witch who was talking with Sango and Kagome, she must have noticed me staring because she mischievously winked. As I scanned the room, my eyes rested then on Rin who was desperately trying to coax Inuyasha into letting her rub his doggie ears once more, of course he categorically refused, but knowing how persistent my girl could be, I was sure she would get what she wanted in the end.

 

We were all in the `small living room' waiting for my father to come back from his weekly Sunday game of golf, so that we could all sit at the table. From what Inuyasha so happily told me, father was not at all pleased to hear from my new familial situation. I could bet that as soon as the brunch was over he would ask to talk to me and as my half brother put it “I was screwed”.

 

The master of the house entered, it appeared he had taken the time to change after his game, as if he did not know we were all waiting for him. Firstly he went over to kiss his human wife, the greeted `the others' as Izayoi referred to them. And finally he came towards me, as soon as he entered Kagura and Rin for some reason came to stand beside me.

 

“I take it, this is your pup” my father said, golden eyes looking down at Rin.

 

I put my hand on Rin's head and said “her name is Rin and I believe you remember Kagura, my mate”. I purposely emphasized the last two words.

 

The only time father and Kagura crossed path was a few months before I moved out of Sengoku. He had come for an impromptu visit, and had found Kagura trying to sneak in my bedroom, by climbing up the large oak tree that grew in front of my window.

 

Kagura had rented a horror movie at the video store and absolutely wanted to watch it with me, but since I had been grounded, my mother had not allowed me to go over to her place, and as usual not taking no for an answer, Kagura took matters in her own hands.

 

Let's just say that my father was not too happy to find a girl trying to sneak into my bedroom in the middle of the night. He had called Kagura's parents and after screaming and insults were exchanged, father had tried to forbid me to see Kagura, as he thought she was an unsavory type of person. In other words he thought Kagura was a `gold digging whore'. Needless to say I did not listen to his words.

 

“It is a pleasure to see you again Mr. Inutaishio” Kagura said, anyone familiar with her could easily pick up her sarcastic tone. I could only hope father did not.

 

“Why so formal dear? We are family now, aren't we? Please call me Touga” my father answered with what I qualified to be his `fake business smile'. The same that he would us when dealing with business partners, he could absolutely not stand.

 

“Daddy, is that Grandpa?” Rin asked looking up at me. I nodded, and she smiled brightly.

 

“Grandpa Touga, Rin is sooo happy to meet you. Grandma Iza said so many nice things about you!” my daughter exclaimed with bright eyes.

 

“Did, she now?” my father said with a smile. By the light in his eyes, I could tell that he had taken a liking to Rin, but seriously who would not, after all she is MY daughter…

 

“Let us move to the dining room!” Izayoi exclaimed. Everyone started moving, but stopped as they heard my father clear his throat loudly.

 

“Izayoi dear, I forgot to tell you. We are expecting two other guests, I ran into them this morning at the golf course.” Father said, looking through the window.

 

“Can't we just eat already, I'm fucking hungry!” Inuyasha said loudly. I was about to hit him for using such vocabulary in front of Rin, but as usual Kagome beat me up to it.

 

“You glutton, you can wait a few minutes, besides do not use such words in front of children!” just to make sure he understood she hit him hard on the head.

 

I was so used to their bickering that I barely paid any attention to them. On the other hand Kagura, Izayoi and Sango were smiling, and Miroku was trying his best to contain his laughter and Rin was giggling and saying “how silly uncle Inuyasha could be”.

 

I almost sighed but turned towards my father, Izayoi's Sunday brunch were reserved to family members, or really close friends, so I was very curious about who exactly father had invited.

 

As I was about to ask father who the two mysterious guests were, I picked up a familiar scent. At this point I could only think of two words “Oh shit!”

 

A few seconds later, a tall and beautiful red haired demoness entered the room along with a short older but equally red haired demon.

 

“Kazuma, Kaname you have arrived. Welcome. We can now move to the dining room” My father said a broad smile playing on his lips.

 

As I feared Kagura leaned towards me and asked “she is beautiful, who is that?”

 

I gulped loudly before reluctantly answering “Kaname Sagara, my ex wife”.
