“Talking”

`Thoughts'

 

 

Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, Sesshy and Kagura would be happily mated and working on silver haired baby number three by now…

 

 

Sesshoumaru looked down at the infuriating woman with murder painted in his golden orbs. Not wanting to start an argument, he turned on his hills and walked over to the front door. Completely tuning out the wind sorceress he took his coat and walked out of the apartment, banging the door closed behind him.

 

`I shouldn't care so much for the witch. I simply need to get a woman tonight, and then I will be able to get over these troublesome emotions inside me. All I feel for her is lust, which can be easily overcome...' The dog demon thought as he took the elevator down from his penthouse.

 

Sesshoumaru fished the keys to his car from the pockets of his coat and headed towards the parking lot of his apartment complex. He knew of a nearby bar, where the women were beautiful, the drinks were good, and the atmosphere even better…

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

It had been a long time since Sesshoumaru had gone out by himself. Becoming the head of his company at such a young age was time consuming and demanding, but even the dog demon managed to once in a while take some time off and have a drink with Miroku and Inuyasha.

 

After entering the notorious and very select club `The Velvet Room,' the dog demon directly aimed at the bar. After taking a seat on the comfortable plush red stool he called over the bartender.

 

Knowing a wealthy client when he saw one, the man quickly made his way towards the silver haired demon.

 

“Good evening sir, what can I start you with?” The bartender asked with a bright smile, already thinking about the generous tips he was going to have.

 

“Your best Irish whiskey” Sesshoumaru answered. As he saw the barkeep place a glass in front of him, the inu youkai shook his head. “The bottle. No ice.” He then added.

`I will need that much if I am to stop thinking about that damn witch' Sesshoumaru thought angrily grinding his teeth.

 

The bartender merely hesitated for a split second. But as she looked up to stare into Sesshoumaru cold liquid amber eyes, he swiftly placed his most expensive bottle of whiskey in front of the silver haired demon.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Kagura paced along Sesshoumaru's living room. She halted herself to look up at the digital clock under the plasma TV adorning the wall.

 

`He's still not back' she thought worried as she realized how late it was. The wind sorceress felt bad about their previous argument. She did not know why she had suddenly lost her temper with Sesshoumaru, after all what he had said was no different than what Yura used to tell her all the time: Shinichi was not worth loving and even less waiting for.

 

Kagura knew that Sesshoumaru would eventually come home, and she was dead set on waiting for him. She was also sure, or rather hoped the dog demon had just went out for a walk in order to cool his head and would be back and mock her for even worrying over him.

 

`That infuriating dog will have a field day when he realizes I worried over him and waited for him' She thought with a fond smile as she sat down on the couch and curled into a ball waiting for Sesshoumaru's return.

 

“You better come home soon” She said aloud trying to comfort herself. For some reason she could not quite shake off, Kagura felt as if her `roommate' was in some sort of trouble. And as time went by the horrible feeling in Kagura's heart kept on spreading to the point that tears of anger and frustration threatened to fall from her eyes.

 

`Sesshoumaru, come home to me quickly… and safely' She thought to herself as she peered down at her polished nails. With a sigh, tired of staying inactive, Kagura stood up and went over to her bag to retrieve the deep red nail polish she could not help but buying when she had gone shopping earlier in the afternoon.

 

'Bah! Even if Shin doesn't like it, Sessh's right, this will look much better on me' The wind sorceress thought with a small close lipped smile as she started to apply some color over Sesshoumaru's previous nail job.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Now what's a handsome man like you doing by himself?” A husky sultry voice asked behind Sesshoumaru. He did not bother answering and simply refilled his empty glass. To his surprise he realized he had almost reached the mid mark of his whiskey bottle.

 

'Why do full blooded demons have to work so damn hard to get drunk?' He wondered silently.

 

“Drinking” The dog demon answered gulping down the content of his glass.

 

“My my aren't we thirsty? The best piece of advice I ever had was never to drink alone” The woman said as she stepped forward. She sat on the stool right next to Sesshoumaru's right, the action causing the hem of her short dress to hitch up higher and reveal pale creamy long legs. With a well trained seductive gesture the woman then swept her long dark hair out of her eyes, revealing a delicate pale face.

 

“My name's Emiko” She said smiling with sparkling deep light purple eyes.

 

“What will you be having miss?” The bartender asked the demoness.

 

“I will have the same. Whatever…” Emiko trailed off turning her beautiful face towards the dog demon.

 

“Sesshoumaru” He supplied serving himself yet another glass.

 

“Yes, I will have whatever Sesshoumaru is having. He seems to have very good taste” She interrupted herself to run a slow and very appreciative look along the entire length of the dog demon. “So I trust his judgment.”

 

“You know, usually only a woman can get a man to drink like that.” Emiko said as Sesshoumaru gulped down some more whiskey.

 

“Most of the time it's because he's trying to forget the woman, but my dear Sesshoumaru, there are so many other ways to forget about someone, and I assure you they can be so much more enjoyable than alcohol” Stating this on a low seductive voice, Emiko, gently rested her warm palm over Sesshoumaru's thigh.

 

The dog demon raised a surprised eyebrow at her forwardness, but did not proceed to deter her.

 

“Hum I think our evening is looking so much more interesting now, no?” Emiko asked draining her glass. She then proceeded to make small sweeping motions of her hand over the dog demon's powerful thigh.

 

“Indeed” Sesshoumaru acknowledged as he refilled her glass with his own bottle.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“This is infuriating! How can that overgrown moronic dog drive me crazy like that?” Kagura wondered aloud in a strangled scream.

 

'Then again, it's normal I feel that way, it's the first time I get into an argument with a friend of mine... .' The wind sorceress tried to rationalize her behavior.

 

Too absorbed by her thoughts, Kagura jolted when she heard the front door of Sesshoumaru's penthouse being thrown open. A frown marred her face when she heard a female laugh. With a growl in her throat Kagura stomped to the front door ready to give Sesshoumaru and his guest a piece of her mind.

 

“Oh that was unexpected.” Emiko said as she caught sight of the fuming Kagura.

 

'God don't tell me my night of fun with Sesshoumaru will be interrupted by her...' The purple eyed demoness thought pursing her lips in irritation. She quickly reverted her facial expression to a seductive smirk when she turned to face the dog demon.

 

“You are not in bed?” Sesshoumaru asked as he spotted Kagura.

 

'The nerve of that asshole!' The wind sorceress thought angrily.

 

“I was redoing my nails” Kagura spat out sarcastically.

 

After nodding to the wind witch, Sesshoumaru rested his hand on the small of Emiko's back and stirred her towards his bedroom.

 

'What the hell does he think he's doing?!' Kagura thought shooting a murderous glare to the two demons. She quickly walked over to the twosome and did her best to smile.

 

“You did not have to wait up” Sesshoumaru informed the wind demoness standing in front of him, effectively blocking his way to the corridor leading to his bedroom. He had tried to speak on a tone dismissive enough to make Kagura understand he wanted her to move and let him and his guest walk past her.

 

“Of course I did. For all I knew you could be dead lying in a ditch with your organs on their way to being sold on the black market, or you could have become the prey of some gold digging whore” Kagura said resting her eyes on the demoness at Sesshoumaru's arm.

 

“Excuse me? Who are you calling a gold digging whore?!” Emiko bellowed with eyes flashing in fury.

 

“Feeling concerned when I wasn't even addressing you? Why don't you zip it for a sec'? I'm talking to him, okay?” Kagura said to the purple eyed demoness before turning to Sesshoumaru. She was half expecting the dog demon to look angered, but to Kagura's surprise, he seemed amused.

 

'He must be drunk or something...' The wind sorceress thought rolling her eyes. 'All the more reason for me to come to that idiot's rescue.' She thought smugly as a small plan started forming in her head.

 

“You know what you did was pretty messed up... you could have gotten Kanna all worried. I mean imagine if she had woken up and hadn't seen you here? The kid's so attached to you!” Kagura scolded her host. The wind witch could not prevent a devilish smirk from spreading on her lips as she started implementing her plan.

 

“A child? What are you talking about?” Emiko asked confused, raising questioning eyes to Sesshoumaru.

 

'This bitch is getting on my nerves; I better get rid of her already' Kagura thought a smirk still on her lips.

 

“Kanna is our two and a half years old daughter sleeping in the bedroom over there. Sessh I'm going to forgive you about tonight, because you know I shouldn't be getting mad at you like that, the doctor did say it wasn't good for our baby when I'm under stress.” The wind sorceress stated running a hand over her flat stomach. 'That will be sure to shut the bitch up' she thought with a smug smile.

 

'What in the hell is the witch doing?' Sesshoumaru wondered as he cocked his head to the side eying Kagura with an expression of confusion on his face.

 

“I don't know what's going on… but I sure as hell don't like it... Sesshoumaru, it was fun, but... You know what, I hate drama, so I'm out of here” Without waiting another second, Emiko left the dog demon's penthouse, slamming the door shut behind her.

 

“What was that about?” Sesshoumaru asked as peered straight in Kagura's eyes, which were lit in glee.

 

“Oh no worries, you can thank me later...” She answered with a shrug.

 

“Thank you?” he echoed in surprise. “And for what?!”

 

“For saving you from that woman. She had 'gold digging slut' written all over her face in bold scarlet letters” Kagura commented. “I was just being a good friend and looking out for you.”

 

“So let me summarize the situation.” Sesshoumaru said raising his voice in anger. “It is okay for you to pass judgment on who I have for company and make decisions on my personal life but I am not allowed to make a simple remark on your supposed boyfriend's attitude?”

 

“Those two situations have nothing in common. Besides you know you brought her here because you wanted me to help you shake her off. Seriously if that wasn't the case, you would have said something when I did my little acting number. Also you would have taken a hotel room, or gone over to her place.” The wind witch said stubbornly crossing her arms over her chest.

 

“Were you not the one saying that it was okay for me to bring a woman over to MY apartment just a few hours ago?” Sesshoumaru questioned.

 

The wind sorceress esteemed she was ready to help Sesshoumaru find a special woman, but she would be damned if she was going to let her friend being used as a cash cow by some woman she found unworthy of him.

 

“Yeah a woman, not some girl you picked up at a bar, and don't try to lie to me, she's just got that sleazy vibe going around her. I mean did you see the length, or rather lack of length of her dress? And don't get me started on that cleavage, could breasts be any more fake...?” Kagura scoffed.

 

“That is quite funny coming from you, after all the first time I saw you, you didn't look any different from Emiko...” Sesshoumaru snapped angrily. The alcohol he had consumed earlier was finally going up to his head, and the dog demon found it harder to filter the words coming out of his mouth.

 

“What! Those are very different circumstances!” Kagura exclaimed boiling in anger.

 

“Indeed contrary to what you may think Emiko never asked for money...” Sesshoumaru said.

 

Kagura was so shocked by his words, that she opened and closed her mouth several times without any sound coming forth. It wasn't the first time Sesshoumaru had made an unpleasant remark on her former profession, but this one hurt her more than before, after all she felt that she was only looking out for her friends, trying to protect him.

 

'How dare he say something like that? He doesn't know under what circumstances I started working for Naraku, neither does he know what really happen. Ha! As if I had a choice!' Kagura thought angrily.

 

“Wow. Maybe I was wrong when I esteemed us to be friends, seems like you're not able to go past our first meeting.” The wind sorceress said struggling to find her voice, a chocked sob escaping her throat.

 

“Friends? I guess we are. Therefore I should be honest with you I do not care much about the way we met, but rather I should tell you that what unnerves me the most with you is the way you allow people to walk all over you. It is the same with your so called boyfriend or even your father.

 

“I let people walk over me? That's not true I am an independent women!” Kagura spat angrily.

 

“Are you really?” He asked rhetorically his head feeling lighter due to his large earlier alcohol consumption. “Would an independent woman sit around and wait foolishly as a well trained pet for her master, or rather in your case poor excuse of a boyfriend “ Sesshoumaru said accusingly.

 

“You don't know what you are talking... you have no idea.” Kagura retorted almost chocking on a sob.

 

'Who does he think he is? He doesn't know anything. How could he know what I've been through' Kagura thought bitterly as she felt sharp boiling anger ripple through her.

 

“Yeah well rest assured I won't let a condescending annoying jerk of a dog demon walk over me too.” With these words of explanation, and not even a backward glance, Kagura stormed towards the guest bedroom. Upon entering she flicked on the light, and merely spared a glance at her deeply slumbering daughter.

 

“Where are you going, now?” he asked as he looked at Kagura fishing out from a corner of the room the huge backpack she had used when she had escaped from Naraku's house.

 

The dog demon felt horrible for what he had said, and did not wish for Kagura to leave before the two of them spoke. Unfortunately, he feared that now that he started feeling the effects of the alcohol he had drowned earlier, their discussion would be taking a turn for the worse.

 

“I don't know, anywhere... away from you since I really, really do not want to be in your presence right now. Nor do I care to be insulted more than I already have.”

 

“Where? You don't have anywhere to go.”He stated matter-of-factly.

 

“Well I'll figure out something. I can get a hotel room or whatever. I'm a big and smart girl! Besides while you were out... slut hunting, Shin sent me a text, and told he managed to push away his family obligation. He changed his whole schedule because of Kanna and me. So, you see, you were wrong. I do have someone who cares about me” The wind sorceress halted her packing to turn around and face her 'host.'

 

“I appreciate all you've done for my daughter and me. Really thanks for all your help, but maybe this was all a bad idea to begin with... Obviously we never should have even gotten close... I'll leave and we'll never have to see or think about each other anymore.” Stating this, she spun around and resumed packing her stuff. It of course would not take her long, as Kagura did not possess much anyway...

 

“Stop your nonsense. At least stay for the night... or what is left of it. Besides I doubt you would want to wake your daughter.” The dog demon said as he halted Kagura's hand with his. Squeezing her small limb in his larger delicate artist hand.

 

The wind sorceress stopped her frantic packing and turned to stare at the dog demon's hunched form. She was suddenly surprised by what she saw in her host's eyes. The warmth she saw in his golden orbs, was it concern, compassion, regret? She was not sure, but only feeling as if the usually icy cold dog demon was feeling some kind of remorse over their argument made Kagura rethink the situation.

 

'He might be one hell of a jerk, but he's right. It's not fair for me to make Kanna suffer because Sessh and I got into an argument. Besides tomorrow I'll leave with Shin, and I'll never see that bastard dog demon anymore.' Kagura thought feeling another bout of sadness wash over her at the realization of their departure.

 

“Fine I guess you're right... Kanna needs to sleep. I can always leave tomorrow...” The wind sorceress agreed with a sigh. “And after tomorrow, we can just pretend nothing ever happened”

 

'Even if that's not what I want...' She thought as she felt a lump of tears from in her throat. 'Why am I feeling like this? I'm so sad... it must be all the worry I felt before that's coming out and catching up to me' Kagura mentally added.

 

“Fine I'll let you sleep. We'll talk later...” Sesshoumaru said as he slowly backed away from the guest bedroom of his penthouse, keeping his eyes trained on Kagura, lest the wind witch decided to change her mind and tried to leave.

 

'As if I would let you forget this Sesshoumaru so easily...' He thought before adding surprised by his line of thought 'It wouldn't do for us to lose our friendship over something so ludicrous.'

 

 

 

To be continued...

 

A/N: Tension is still running high, but will things get better between them? Will Kagura leave with Shinichi before Sesshy and her manage to make up? We'll see in the next chapter when Shinichi will make his long awaited return. The chapter will be named Interruption.
