“Talking”
‘Thoughts’
Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, Sesshy and Kagura would be happily mated and working on silver haired baby number three by now…
“So come on spill Sesshoumaru. Tell me did you find Kaze?” Miroku could not help but ask with glinting eyes as soon as he sat opposite his friend and boss.
“Keh! As if he’d answer that. Not everyone is as openly lecherous as you are Miroku” Inuyasha said as he crossed his legs over his older brother’s expensive mahogany desk; making himself as comfortable as possible in the hard leather chairs facing towards the eldest Takahashi brother.
Sending a murderous glare towards his younger half brother, Sesshoumaru bent over his desk and batted away the inu hanyou’s feet.
“If you must know, when this Sesshoumaru left her this morning she was taking a shower.” The dog demon blatantly lied relishing with a chuckle the expressions of pure shock displayed on both Inuyasha and Miroku’s faces due to his bold statement.
“You mean you slept at her place?! I’ll be damned.” The silver haired half demon said looking at his older half sibling suspiciously.
“No, she spent the night in my penthouse… in my bed” Sesshoumaru said with a half smile as he leaned back making himself more comfortable in his leather bound chair.
‘Some whisky is all I am missing and I would be thoroughly enjoying myself’ Sesshoumaru thought as he observed Miroku whose eyes were bulging out of his head.
“It seems that still waters do run deep. And I thought you were reformed. I mean by the time Inuyasha and I made it to college you were a campus legend, it was said that Sesshoumaru Takahashi had a different girl at his arm every single night. And that you could pick up any girl anytime.” Miroku said his eyes shining in envy.
“Keh! Miroku, why are you trying to make it sound all romantic and better? Sesshoumaru was a man whore! Geez, he never stayed with a woman long enough to remember her name. Can’t remember the number of women who harassed me trying to get his number” Inuyasha muttered scornfully under his breath. ‘Not to mention the suspicious sounds coming from his bedroom at night when he’d spend the weekend over at our parent’s place. Always wondered how the smug bastard managed to sneak in girls without the old man realizing…’ Inuyasha thought pursing his lips in disgust and envy.
“This was long ago…” Sesshoumaru said brushing the matter away.
The dog demon was not all that proud of his college years, and was content with his single life at the moment. His one priority was his job and he was happy with that. As soon as his father had died leaving the then fresh out of college Sesshoumaru in charge of the company, the young dog demon had to change his ways. He knew that in order to expand the Takahashi agency and make it one of the leaders in its kind, he had to change his ways and cut down on the women and partying.
“That may be, but it seems you haven’t lost your touch even if you haven’t been with anyone for a long time. Damn Sesshoumaru I’ll do anything teach me, tell me what you did to get a girl like Kaze without having to pay. Hell I’ll become your disciple, and call you master!” The dark haired human exclaimed with pleading purple eyes, ready to throw himself at his boss’s feet.
“Miroku, you would do well not to imply this Sesshoumaru is of the same sort as you. The woman, whose real name is Kagura, spent the night with her daughter in my bed, while I slept on the couch.” Sesshoumaru explained the situation.
“Feh! I knew something was up. Ever since you inherited of the agency after the old man’s death, you’ve become way too fucking uptight to just pick up some girl. But in any case I don’t see the link between you thinking she stole your USB drive and you housing her.” Inuyasha said scratching his ear careful of his long claws.
“It is a long story. To make it short, the incompetent fool of a secretary I have was to blame. And when it comes to Kagura, I assisted her in s dangerous situation. She also needed a place to spend the night. As they say the rest is history” After stating this, in a gesture to signify to his brother and friend, that he did not intend to continue the conversation, Sesshoumaru picked up a folder on his desk and started browsing through it.
“So you mean to tell me you helped someone out of pure generosity, without expecting anything in return. You? Sesshoumaru? My brother?! I don’t fucking buy it! Are ya okay? Do you have a fever or something?” Inuyasha said eyeing his brother disbelievingly as he crossed his arms over his chest.
“Kagura has nothing I could ever want” The dog demon answered without raising his golden eyes from the documents in his hands.
“Oh! I’m not so sure. A beautiful woman like her has many things a man could want…” Miroku trailed off with a smirk,
“Stop your perverted thoughts! Have some fucking respect she’s a… mom” Inuyasha scolded his best friend.
“So what? I always wanted to be a father. It only means she started working on our twenty children early.” Miroku answered wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
“Disgusting lecher. Twenty children you said? I’m sure Sango who works security downstairs is going to love hearing all about this.” Inuyasha teased his human friend.
“How did we get on the subject of my love life when we were discussing Sesshoumaru’s?” Miroku asked trying to shift the focus away from him.
“Keh! This sounds so wrong, Eww Sesshoumaru actually having a love life, kind of gross if you ask me” Inuyasha said with a smirk. “I do wonder what this Kagura sees in him, she mustn't be that good to be interested in Fluffy-sama…” Inuyasha retorted with a small smirk.
“Based on the memory I have of the delightful evening I spent with her. Kaze, or rather Kagura, is a very beautiful and charming demoness, but she has a mean hook. She punched me when I tried to rub…” Miroku started trying to remember the one time he had employed Kagura as an escort. He had been incredibly bored, and in lack of female company, so he had decided to hire a beautiful lady to have dinner and more with.
Their date had according to Miroku gone on perfectly, but unfortunately for him, Kagura had not at all appreciated his wandering hands, and instead of spending the night with a warm body against his, Miroku had to sleep with a couple of ice cubes pressed against his black eye.
“Enough!” Sesshoumaru roared louder than he had intended. For some reason he could not quite identify, the dog demon was enraged at the idea of his lecherous friend spending an evening by Kagura’s side, or worse, that he had dared put his fingers on her.
‘What is this feeling? It seems the woman is getting to me. But it is of no importance, I shall be rid of her soon enough.’ The dog demon thought angry at himself.
“Leave my office this instant, you have work to do. By the way do not foolishly think that because this Sesshoumaru has yet to avenge myself, means that I forgot about your little ridiculous prank.” Sesshoumaru said glaring menacingly at the two quickly retreating men.
Miroku gulped audibly, but kept his mouth shut. On the other hand, putting on a courageous front Inuyasha stared back at his brother “Keh! Bring it on this Inuyasha isn’t afraid of the likes of you.” The younger brother mocked paraphrasing Sesshoumaru.
“Inuyasha I think we should leave, your brother looks pretty damn pissed.” ‘And very scary’ Miroku mentally added as he took a hold of his friend’s arm and lead him away from Sesshoumaru’s office.
“So what? I’m not afraid! I can take Sessh on anytime and…” Inuyasha complained as his friend dragged him away.
The dog demon waited until the twosome had left before letting out a small chuckle.
‘These idiots…’ Sesshoumaru thought with a small fond smile as he looked down at the documents scattered and completely out of order on his desk.
Growling in annoyance and once more cursing his incompetent secretary, he tried to make some sense out of the mess in front of him.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000
The wind sorceress had been surprised when she had awakened to an empty apartment. Since it was a Monday morning she had guessed that her dog demon host would have to go to work, but the crimson eyed demoness had expected him to tell her by what time he expected her out of his apartment, or give her indications of things he did not want her to do at his place before he left.
Shrugging off her concerns, the wind witch decided to make the most out of the situation. Taking advantage of having Sesshoumaru’s apartment all to herself, Kagura made the decision to indulge herself and Kanna in a long bubble bath. After ever since she had laid eyes on the gigantic bathtub in the master bathroom, she could not curb her desire to run herself a long relaxing bubble bath.
To her delight and great amusement, hidden in the back of one of Sesshoumaru’s bathroom cabinets, Kagura found a complete set of ‘Sublime violet sweet pea’ scented bath products.
“So Kanna-chan, do you want to smell like sublime violet sweet pea?” Kagura asked her daughter with a mocking chuckle. Not waiting for her little girl to answer the wind sorceress drew them a bath.
“Who would have guessed Sesshoumaru would have such beauty products…” The crimson eyed demoness asked with a mocking chuckle as she playfully blew bubbles towards her daughter. To Kagura’s surprise and delight, instead of remaining passive, Kanna copied her movement and sent a couple of bubbles towards her mother as well.
‘Oh wow seems that being out of Naraku’s vicinity is doing wonders on Kanna’s behavior already.’ Kagura thought happily.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000
After Kagura finished dressing her daughter, the two of them shared a long relaxing breakfast.
“Time to get productive” The wind sorceress exclaimed before setting her daughter on the living room floor and giving Kanna a coloring book. The wind witch sat on the couch and picked up Sesshoumaru’s home phone. She quickly dialed a number she knew by heart and waited for the person to pick up.
“Hello?” Said a female voice coming from the other end of the receiver.
“Yo Yura? It’s Kagura” The wind sorceress answered a feeling of relief and happiness spreading through her.
Hearing her friend’s voice made it more real to her that she had escaped from Naraku. Kagura had met Yura at Abi’s coffee shop, the two of them became friends very fast. It had not taken long for Yura to suspect Kagura was living a nightmare because of Naraku. Her friend had tried several times to help the wind sorceress, but the latter refused to confide completely in her friend and tell her what was really going on. Yura did however manage to make Kagura swear that she would come to her if she ever needed help. Even after the hair demoness had quit her job at the coffee shop, the two women had kept contact.
“What’s this number you’re calling from?” Yura asked her friend a surprised frown on her face.
“It doesn’t matter. Listen and brace yourself, I did it! I left Naraku’s shitty house and now Kanna and I we’re on our own.” Kagura said excitedly.
“Wow! I’m so glad and relieved.” Yura said enthusiastically.
“Well we’re not out of the woods just yet. The thing is that we need a place to stay… but just for two weeks. And that’s when you come in.” Kagura explained her plan.
“So if I got it right, you want to crash at my place?” Yura asked.
“Yep. So what do you say? Aren’t you in need of two roommates?” The wind sorceress asked on a joking tone, trying to hide her desperate plea.
“I wish I could help Kagura, I really do.” Yura said on an apologetic tone.” The thing is that I’m out of town right now. And I’m not coming back for at least three weeks” The hair demoness said.
“Oh crap that sucks, for me at least. Then again if you let me in your place, I promise Kanna and I won’t mess up anything in your apartment during your absence...” Kagura said with a chuckle.
“In truth I really wouldn’t mind letting you stay at my place and all, but the thing is that since I knew I would be out of town for a long time I rented out my apartment to a couple of tourists. I’m really sorry I wish I could help.” Yura said regretfully.
“Nah it’s okay, I’ll figure out something else” Kagura said trying her best to mask her disappointment and worry. She had completely counted on her friend to house her for the next two weeks, and she feared that her newly found freedom would be harder on her than she had previously anticipated.
“By the way, Kagura where are you right now? And what happened with Naraku?” Yura asked, she felt bad and wished to help her friend in any way, even if it meant only being an available ear for Kagura to pour her problems to.
“I was helped by this guy, and I’m saying at his place. Kanna and I were only supposed to stay here for the night… .” Kagura said casting a glance towards her daughter who was dutifully hunched over her coloring book.
“Well this mysterious benefactor might be willing to let you stay at his place longer.” Yura said.
“I wouldn’t bet on it.” The wind sorceress chuckled. “Oh did I forget to mention he tends to be an anti social jerk?”
“That may be, but he’s a man… And you know how men are…” The hair demoness trailed off with an amused chuckle.
“Yura. Now that I’m free from Naraku, I am done using my body especially to get things in return …” Kagura said on a saddened tone. The full meaning of her statement was lost to the hair demoness who did not know of Kagura’s ‘second job.’
“Besides I only have half your cup size, so unlike you I don’t think I can rely on my big breasts and sex appeal to get things” Kagura mocked her friend trying to lighten the mood. She knew that to Yura flaunting her usually very plunging necklines to get more tips at work or a few free drinks in a bar was a common practice.
“Aw Kagura you wound me. If you must know it’s thanks to my beautiful plastic surgery free, all natural twins that I managed to get a fantastic boyfriend who is taking me right now on a great vacation.” Yura said referring to the reason she was currently out of town. “Talking about men and boyfriends…” Yura started.
“Yura don’t start. The reason why I have to wait two weeks before leaving town is because of him” Kagura said sighing.
“Fine fine. I get it. All I'm really wondering is if despite everything, you're still truly in love with him?” The hair demoness said with a tiny sigh.
“Yes! I am” Kagura retorted defensively.
“Is that so? You really didn't sound very convinced to me... . In any case, I think that you should find a way to let your secret benefactor extend your stay at his place. You know something like sweet-talking him or whatever. I still say that breasts will help. Oh and also hair, you’ve got great hair, so stop putting it up in your stupid grandma buns.” Yura said with a mocking grin.
“Ugh you’ll never change.” Kagura lamented shaking her head softly. “I guess you’re right. I could always try to make him let me stay, but he seems to be the loner type. In my opinion it’s a miracle he even helped me to begin with” the wind sorceress said looking around Sesshoumaru’s stern and bare looking living room.
“Puh-leaze! No man can resist a woman’s charms. Just use your talents” Yura assured her friend. “Listen I’m sorry but I gotta go. Call me and let me know how things are going, okay? By the way I’m proud of you and kiss Kanna for me. Bye!”
As she hung up, the wind sorceress could not suppress a small smile from gracing her ruby lips. She knew what kinds of ‘talents’ Yura advised her of using, but Kagura had another idea in mind.
“Hum I’ll just have to show Mr. Ice block that the advantages of letting me stay here outweigh the inconveniences” The wind witch said as she stood up from the couch and looked around Sesshoumaru’s living room. “Now where to start?”

If you must know it’s thanks to my beautiful plastic surgery free, all natural twins that I managed to get a fantastic boyfriend who is taking me right now on a great vacation.” Yura said referring to the reason she was currently out of town. “Talking about men and boyfriends…” Yura started.
“Yura don’t start. The reason why I have to wait two weeks before leaving town is because of him” Kagura said sighing.
“Fine fine. I get it. All I'm really wondering is if despite everything, you're still truly in love with him?” The hair demoness said with a tiny sigh.

As she hung up, the wind sorceress could not suppress a small smile from gracing her ruby lips. She knew what kinds of ‘talents’ Yura advised her of using, but Kagura had another idea in mind.
“Hum I’ll just have to show Mr. Ice block that the advantages of letting me stay here outweigh the inconveniences” The wind witch said as she stood up from the couch and looked around Sesshoumaru’s living room. “Now where to start?”
