“Talking”

`Thoughts'

 

 

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

 

 

'Sessh 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.'

Biting her lip in anticipation and fear of how the climate would be between her and her host, Kagura slowly made her way towards the penthouse's kitchen, where she could hear sounds coming from. She hugged her daughter close to her and with a deep sigh walked inside the room. As much as she was not entirely ready to forgive and forget some of Sesshoumaru's harsh words from the previous night, Kagura still wanted their last day together to go on well.

 

“I figured you would wake up later” Sesshoumaru said as a form of greeting.

 

“Yeah well I thought you would too. By your smell yesterday, I felt like you drank enough alcohol to knock out someone for a whole week...” The wind sorceress said with a mocking grin.

 

“Dog demons have a very high alcohol tolerance” He retorted with a grunt before breaking another egg on the frying pan.

 

'Not that I would admit I have a killer headache due to a horrible hangover...' Sesshoumaru thought with a groan.

 

“I couldn't get much sleep...” Kagura admitted as she watched the dog demon who was actively working over the stove. She bounced Kanna on her knees, pretty sure that the little girl's presence was the reason Sesshoumaru and her were acting so civil.

 

“Too much excitement over the return of your... boyfriend” he supplied the explanation, doing his best not to scornfully spit out the last word of the sentence.

 

“I guess” Kagura answered with a frown. 'It was more like my conscience torturing me for being such a selfish bitch towards you yesterday night...' She mentally added with a wince.

 

“So what's all this?” She asked on an uncomfortable tone pointing towards the dining table ful lof mouthwatering food. Kagura was trying to lighten up the mood. Feeling the frosty atmosphere between her and Sesshoumaru hurt her more than she cared to admit.

 

“Since it is the last day Kanna and you are going to be staying here, I decided to cook breakfast for you...” Sesshoumaru admitted. Of course the dog demon did not add that he had also called in sick at work for the first time in his life, which had prompted another interrogation session courtesy of Inuyasha and Miroku. The two were more convinced than ever that the dog demon was terminally ill and on the verge of dying and simply was too stubborn to admit it, of course Sesshoumaru found it unnecessary to undeceive them…

 

“Have a seat the eggs will be done in a minute.” Sesshoumaru instructed as he returned his golden gaze on the scrambled eggs he was cooking.

 

Kagura sat down with eyes opened wide in astonishment and rested her daughter on her lap. The wind demoness cast a surprised glance at the table littered with plates of pancakes, bacon and a hot pot of coffee.

 

'He must have gotten up early in order to cook all this. Too bad my stomach is too knotted, I don't know if I'll be able to eat anything...' Kagura thought. Despite the fact that she had assured Yura and Sesshoumaru of the contrary, the wind sorceress felt extremely nervous over Shinichi's return. She was not sure how things would turn out and if he, Kanna and she would manage to be the family the wind sorceress so desperately aspired to be.

 

'I think things will turn out well if Shin never finds out about what Naraku made me do... seeing how Sesshoumaru reacted when I only told him part of the truth, I can't imagine how Shin would take it if I confessed everything' She thought in fright.

 

“Well I'll be damned, so you do know how to cook!” Kagura commented with dark eyebrows raised in surprise. She attempted to use humor to make things go smother between her and her friend.

 

'Well he can sorta cook...' She mentally corrected as she eyed with a smile the odd shaped pancakes, and noticed that some of them were darker than necessary...

 

'Well guess what matters is that he made an effort' The wind sorceress thought with a shrug and a smile on her lips.

 

“So is all this food another attempt of adding 'some meat to my bones'?” Kagura asked her host as he placed the generous platter of egg in front of her. She had just paraphrased with great amusement, Sesshoumaru's words the morning he had made eggs for Kanna and her for breakfast.

 

“No it is rather an attempt at... an apology” The dog demon said as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

 

“You don't have to apologize, I should” Kagura said as she handed over to Kanna her sipping cup full of warmed milk the dog demon had made for her. Kagura then pushed the cream and sugar towards Sesshoumaru, as she recalled he enjoyed his coffee with both.

 

“I was unfair to you yesterday... or rather this morning. You were right, I have no right to try to influence or comment on your personal life like I did. But do know I had your best interest in mind...” Kagura said as she served food to both her and her daughter. She knew that she had to acknowledge the dog demon's efforts and therefore intended to eat as much as possible.

 

“It was also wrong for me to insult you in the way I did. Or even to remark upon your... Shinichi's attitude towards you or on your relationship. As you said, I am not a concerned party, therefore from now on I will keep out of it.” The dog demon said with a slight sigh.

 

“Don't worry it's okay. Besides you will stand to be corrected about Shin. He's a wonderful man. Who knows when you get to know each other, the two of you could become friends.” At hearing her words, Sesshoumaru marveled that he had been able to keep in a judgmental snort.

 

“Now let's forget about all this and enjoy our last breakfast together...” Kagura said as she scooped a bite of scrambled eggs from her plate. The inu youkai could not prevent a small smug and satisfied smile from appearing on his lips as seeing Kagura eagerly dig into the food he had made for her.

 

Sesshoumaru eyed her suspiciously over his cup of coffee. 'Or will it be?' he wondered concerning Kagura's last comment.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

“Okay so you have my cell number, if anything happens with Kanna, call me okay? And once again thanks so much Sessh I don't know what I'd do without you...”

 

Kagura's last words before leaving for her big reunion date with Shinichi still rung into Sesshoumaru's ears, as he rolled his cell phone between his clawed fingers.

 

The wind sorceress had worn her sapphire satin dress and had applied light make up before leaving. She had originally wanted to bring along Kanna as she wanted her daughter to meet her father as soon as possible, but she was still fearful of Kanna's health worsening, and Shin had mentioned to her that before seeing his daughter, he wanted to see his woman.

 

'Should I do it?' The dog demon wondered for what seemed to be to him the hundredth time, as he took the piece of paper where Kagura had written down her number. His golden eyes then glanced towards Kanna. The little girl was obediently sitting on the living room's carpet, and was playing with her mirror. As if she had found out what the dog demon's thoughts were, she turned around suddenly and craned her neck up to stare straight in his eyes.

 

“Do not look at me like that. I am doing this for your sake too” Sesshoumaru muttered under his breath, trying to reason his action.

 

'Indeed I am doing both Kagura and Kanna a favor' He added mentally as he picked up the piece of paper and dialed the number.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

“You're as beautiful as I remembered. I missed you so much. To be honest, I still can't believe we're truly here, together.” Shinichi said as he once more encircled Kagura in his arms. As she laid her head against his warm chest, Kagura let out a sigh of complete contentment.

 

The dark haired demon had a very hard time keeping his hands to himself, the three years they had spent apart had almost made him forget how sexy and beautiful his girlfriend was.

 

'Oh but I intend to get reacquainted with her body, and make up for lost time soon enough' He thought as he eyed her blue satin covered curves lustfully.

 

“You're going to love it over there. I'm going to work with my dad, so the pay will be good. My parents are going to love you. We'll be happy over together” Shinichi said with a sly smile.

 

“I heard they also have very good schools in your home city ” Kagura said eyes shining in happiness. There was nothing she wanted more than for her daughter to benefit from opportunities she herself had never had.

 

“Schools? What would you need schools for?” Shinichi asked in surprise, raising a delicate dark eyebrow in surprise.

 

“For Kanna of course” Kagura answered surprised by her boyfriend's reaction.

 

“Sir your table is ready” The maître d' informed the demon couple as he extended his hand towards the fancy restaurant's dining room. The dark haired demon was forever grateful for the interruption and made a mental note to generously tip the maître d'.

 

'I knew both Yura and Sessh were wrong about Shin. He wouldn't bring me to such an expensive and fancy restaurant if he didn't care about me.' Kagura thought with a delighted smile.

 

But before the twosome was able to go seat at their table, Kagura heard her phone vibrate in her purse.

 

“You could have turned it off. After all we said no distractions or interruptions. Tonight is all and only about the two of us.” Shinichi growled vexed as he flung a stray strand of black hair out of his beautiful deep hazel eyes.

 

“Sorry. I just left it on in case of emergencies.” Kagura said apologetically. She was about to drop her phone in her purse and forget about the call, but when she recognized the number as being Sesshoumaru's cell phone she quickly flicked her device open.

 

“Hello. Sessh what's wrong? Is it Kanna?” Kagura asked in a panicky voice, ignoring the exasperated expression in Shin's eyes. She knew that the dog demon would not call her for an insignificant reason, and she already feared the worse.

 

Shinichi pinched the bridge of his thin nose and sighed heavily, hoping he would be able to salvage his evening with Kagura.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“You will thank me later on in your life. In the meantime, simply do as I say.” Sesshoumaru ordered the little girl resting on his knees.

 

Kanna raised her dark eyes to stare right in Sesshoumaru's golden amber orbs. The pale blond infant then coked her head to the side as if thinking deeply before forming a small smile on her lips and breathing out a faint “Okay.”

 

The dog demon was at a loss for words, he had never seen Kanna display so much emotion since the day he had met her.

 

`There, she at least is more reasonable than her mother.' He thought appreciatively as he gently pat Kanna on the head with an uncomfortable “Good girl.”

 

Sesshoumaru was not sure how else to express his satisfaction with the little girl's compliance. He smirked slightly as he thought that Kagura would probably scream at him if she ever found out he had talked to her daughter as one would address a dog...

 

As he heard the front door of his penthouse being thrown open, Sesshoumaru nodded at Kanna and stood up carrying the little girl in his arms.

 

“Oh my God, baby I came as fast as I could how are you feeling?” Kagura asked as she discarded her high heeled shoes without care and hurried towards Sesshoumaru and Kanna.

 

The little girl extended her arms towards her mother and the wind sorceress wasted no time taking her daughter from the dog demon's arms.

 

“Strange. You said she had a fever, but she's not that warm. Did you give her the medication?” Kagura asked as she ran a tender hand through her daughter's pale locks.

 

“Yes” Sesshoumaru lied without flinching. He then nodded to Kanna, and the little girl fulfilling her end of the bargain let out a small cough. Kagura kissed her daughter's head as worry ate at her chest.

 

The dog demon almost smirked in triumph, he could not have asked Kanna to play her part any better. In truth the little girl had never felt better since she had been rushed to the hospital, but the dog demon knew that the only way to `interrupt' Kagura and Shinichi's date was to claim that the toddler had had a relapse. Sesshoumaru wanted to show Kagura her boyfriend's true color, but he could only do so if they were in his presence.

 

'I am only getting involved in all this mess because there is nothing more despicable than this man's behavior. He needs to be taught a lesson.' The dog demon thought pushing away the feeling of protectiveness he felt for the two female demons standing a few feet away from him.

 

“She appears to be feeling better” Sesshoumaru said in contained anger, he was not able to lift his piercing golden eyes from Kagura's lips. To his anger, the cherry red lipstick Kagura had carefully applied earlier was smeared, and her lips were swollen, both were clear indications that before or after his call Shinichi had managed to get his share of kissing. A fact which made Sesshoumaru's blood boil.

 

“Who's that?” Shinichi asked as he stepped forward, nodding his head towards the handsome dog demon standing proudly and too closely to his taste to his woman.

 

At seeing the attractive dark haired and pale skinned demon come closer, Sesshoumaru could barely contain a growl of annoyance. The dog demon did not like him based on what he had heard about the man before, but at seeing Shinichi's cocky grin, Sesshoumaru realized he downright hated him.

 

“That's Sesshoumaru; he was keeping an eye on our daughter for me. See Shin, that's our Kanna” Kagura said with a small smile on her lips as she turned around to allow her boyfriend to see her daughter for the first time.

 

`She is not his. He has done nothing to deserve her' Sesshoumaru thought angrily at Kagura's remark. He did not know where the sudden surge of protectiveness he felt for Kanna and her mother had come from, but seeing as they had never failed him, he had decided to follow his instincts.

 

“So Shin do you want to hold her…?” The wind sorceress asked shyly as she walked closer to her daughter's father.

 

“No thanks” he retorted raising his hands to block Kagura's progression towards him. He peered down at his daughter Kagura was holding in her arms.

 

'It's strange how I feel nothing...' Shinichi thought to himself.

 

“Don't worry Kanna's two years and a half, you won't hurt her or whatever. It's all safe” Kagura assured him as she took another step towards her boyfriend. She really did not like the look of revulsion that suddenly appeared on Shinichi's face.

 

“I'm not afraid of hurting her; it's rather that I don't want her to get attached to me or whatever.” He explained with a shrug.

 

Kagura looked at him in shock halting her stride, as if she had received a sudden blow.

 

“What do you mean?” She asked him suddenly pale and scared.

 

“Well since she's not coming with us” Shinichi answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
