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 the dining room” My father said a broad smile playing on his lips.

 

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

 

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

 

I was waiting for the firework known as Kagura to explode, but to my utter amazement, my mate walked right up to Kaname and extended her hand.

 

“It is vey nice to meet you Miss Sagara. I heard so much about you. I am Kagura Kaze, Sesshomarou's mate”. When she first spoke I thought that Kagura was just being polite, but the way she said she was my mate made me understand that her little greeting was nothing more or less than a threat. In other words, she was telling Kaname not to even think coming near me.

 

My wind witch and my ex the fire demoness, shook hands then started a staring competition. None of the two looked like they were ready to back down any time soon. Luckily for us, Miroku broke the tense atmosphere.

 

“Is it me or is it getting chilly in here? Maybe you could come over here and warm me up Kaname.” The pervert said putting his hand on Kaname's shoulder.

 

“And why would you want her to warm you up?” Sango asked threateningly.

 

“It was just a joke, Sango my love you know you are my one and only” Miroku said trying to save himself, but of course Sango was not buying it.

 

“Oh Miroku, always so playful, besides we all know Kaname is not that type of woman” Izayoi said on a soft tone.

 

I almost snorted, this human was always so clueless. Had she known that her dear precious Saint Kaname, had no remorse to roll around in the sheets of my own home with Naraku.

 

“Keh! Can we fucking eat already?!”

 

“Daddy, daddy uncle Inuyasha said a bad word!” Rin said looking up at me. I sent a death glare at Inuyasha, but this time it was his own mother who smacked him on the head.

 

“Inuyasha watch your tongue!” the small woman said. Seeing her so out of character sudden outburst everyone started laughing, and I even allowed a small smile. Everyone seemed to be having fun, maybe the brunch will go on smoothly, or at least I could always hope…

Aside from the frequent glares Kagura and Kaname kept exchanging from time to time, the gathering was going pretty well. Rin was sitting by my side, between Kagura and me. And luckily my daughter kept `entertaining' me by telling me about the thrilling adventures of her stuffed toys `Sesshy' and `Jaken'. How they would travel across Feudal Japan dispatching evil demons and saving little human girls. I even think one of the demons they defeated was named Naraku, it appeared my ex wife's lover really had made a bad impression on my daughter. Or maybe, just like me Rin was a really good judge of character.

 

Truth is I was using Rin as a shield, Kazuma, Kaname's father still blamed me for the broken marriage, and would pester and assault me every chance he could get, which was rather annoying. Not that I would not be able to fend off the old man, but it was such a loss of my time.

 

“So, Kagura what is it that you do for a living again?” Kaname asked on a suspiciously cheerful tone.

 

“I write in `Goshinboku' magazine” she answered calmly before taking a bite of scrambled eggs.

 

At this point I could only infer that Kagura was keeping her cool, because of Rin's presence. Our daughter had been very upset yesterday when she witnessed Kagura and me arguing, and I knew that my mate did not want her to have to go through this again.

 

“Oh” Kaname said pursing her lips in disgust.

 

“Is something wrong with the magazine? Then again I can understand your distaste for it, since most people who actually read the articles are intellectuals. But I am sure that you at least enjoy the pictures.” Kagura said on a fake sweet tone.

 

My wind witch adorned a triumphant smile, Inuyasha and Miroku almost choked in laughter and even Kagome and Sango giggled. Needless to say none of my “friends” liked Kaname very much. I had no idea why the girls did not like her, but since I told the boys about her affair with Naraku…

 

“Did mommy say something funny?” Rin asked turning on her right side to look at me.

 

“You will understand when you grow up” I answered trying my best to hide my own small smile. But it did not escape Kagura as she winked at me. Sensing the dark stare my father sent towards me, I could tell she was not the only one to have noticed my amusement.

 

I shrugged off my father and though `Kagura: 1 and Kaname: 0' I could only hope that their little match was going to end here. Even if I had to admit it was most pleasing to see Kagura fighting over me, not that she had to worry about Kaname.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“I have heard that basic elemental demons are quite ill tempered, why do you think Sessh?” Kaname asked me all the while looking at Kagura, as if challenging her to prove her wrong.

 

I mentally frowned, as I heard Kaname refer to me in such an intimate way. It appeared I would have to make her understand not to call me `Sessh' anymore.

 

“This Sesshomarou believes that there is a difference between being ill tempered and having a personality” I answered taking a sip of my black coffee. I hoped that my retort would finally shut up Kaname. She and Kagura had been going at it for the longest time and it was starting to get on my nerves.

 

“Well, then again you could answer this question too. After all, according to the Lords' edict signed in the year 1015, fire demons are considered basic elemental demons. Or am I wrong?” Kagura said on a careless tone. I then remembered that Youkai history had always been one of Kagura's favorite school subjects.

 

Kaname fumed and appeared furious as she looked towards her father for support, the old fire demon nodded to inform his daughter that my Kagura was indeed right. Kazuma looked as unnerved as me by his daughter's constant and pointless bickering.

 

Kaname then bit her lower lip, I knew that she was thinking of a retort. And when I saw a smile forming on her lips I knew she found it.

 

“Oh, silly me, you are right Kagura. You know, I am sure I am not just speaking for myself, but I was very surprised to hear about your mating with Sessh. How long have you been together? Well then again I could be wrong, seems like you have known each other for a very long time…But I do wonder, how come we had never heard of you and Rin before?” she added the last part resting her glowing orange eyes on Rin, a look of absolute disgust on her face.

 

That was the breaking point I just had about enough, Kaname could say whatever she wanted on me or even Kagura. But I would not allow her to drag Rin into this stupid little quarrel of hers.

 

“After all, your daughter seems to be around seven years…” Kaname started but did not get to finish.

 

“You will not say one more word” I cut her on a low and harsh voice. I then let out a low growl just to be sure that she understood me.

 

Of course the sound was not perceived by pathetic humans senses. But I also paid attention to make it low enough so that only fully grown demons could hear it. Therefore Izayoi, Kagome, Sango, Miroku and Rin continued eating oblivious to my threat.

 

My father and Kazuma looked horrified, Inuyasha grinned and even if she seemed a bit surprised Kagura was pleased. I could tell that if I had not said anything she would have sent a couple of wind blades at Kaname.

 

Kaname paled and did not dare say another word, she looked terrified. As if I would ever harm a female, and a pathetic weak female such as her… But according to Inuyasha, people would not put it past me.

 

The rest of the brunch went on in silence, but I knew that after the meal I would receive an earful from my father.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“It was a pleasure to see you again, Sessh. Maybe you, Kagura and me could go out to dinner sometime?” Kaname said as her and her father got ready to take their leave.

 

“Be sure to bring Naraku along, we could always go on a double date” Kagura said as she waved to the fire demons. After she said that, I looked at Kagura in disbelief. Inuyasha and Miroku looked astonished while the rest of the guests looked clueless. Kaname on the other hand blushed furiously, she could now see that my wind witch had won the final round.

 

“Let us go then. Goodbye to all, Izayoi at usual it was a pleasure.” Kazuma said before going out the door. Kaname followed him without saying anything more.

 

“Wow, that went well” Miroku commented.

 

“The pervert and I will be leaving now too, bye everyone. Kag and Kags I'll call you tonight!” Sango said before grabbing Miroku and heading towards the door.

 

“Oi! Lecher you still owe me twenty bucks, for that bet! Come on wench, we're leaving too” My half brother said dragging away a protesting Kagome.

 

“Well, Rin, Kagura would you like to go see my gardens?” Izayoi said gently patting Rin's raven head. Kagura looked at me and I nodded imperceptibly.

 

“We would love to, come on sweetie” my mate said, as she followed a smiling Izayoi.

 

“Rin loves flower!” my daughter exclaimed happily before leaving me alone with my father.

 

“Sesshomarou, why don't we move over to my study, we will be far more comfortable” father said as he went out the door.

 

I followed him, which made me feel uncomfortable, as if I was a mere pup once more and that he would take me somewhere more private to scold me for something I did wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

 

A/N: I really enjoyed writing the little bickering between the girls. Anyway, next time Sesshomarou has an interesting `discussion' with his not so happy father. Part 10 (already 10, damn and I thought this story would not go beyond seven) will be named Father vs Son.
