“Talking”

`Thoughts'

 

 

“Do you think you can wait until tomorrow to gloat and say 'I told you so'?” The wind sorceress asked with a humorless chuckle as she and her host walked towards the living room.

 

“I intend to do no such thing” The dog demon assured her, feeling hurt that she would think otherwise.

 

“Well, you're a better man than I would be... . So Shin won't ever be back. I bet you scared the shit out of him. That's the only reason I can see for him to leave.” Looking into his deep golden eyes did not show her wrong.

 

“Guess it's one more thing I have you to thank for. I don't know if I'll ever be able to pay you back for all you did for me and Kanna.” Kagura said raising her hand to caress Sesshoumaru's cheek, sweeping her thumb over his stripes.

 

The dog demon was shocked at first by the physical contact, but did not comment on it, as he actually quite enjoyed it.

 

'Contrary to what I thought Sessh is such a nice guy, he would never hurt me like Shin did' Kagura thought as tears ran down her cheeks when her ex boyfriend's hurtful revelations came back to her mind. She leaned forward, approaching her unsuspecting friend.

 

“Kagura, what are you...” Sesshoumaru started but she interrupted him by a firm kiss pressed to his lips.

 

'I have to push her away. I have to push her away' The dog demon kept repeating in his mind, but despite his efforts he could not prevent himself from taking some pleasure from the warm lips awkwardly working against his. Sesshoumaru knew it was wrong, and that in a way he was taking advantage of Kagura's distress, but her sweet cherry lips were too much for him to resist.

 

The wind sorceress could tell Sesshoumaru was not entirely responding to her kiss, but she blamed it on surprise. Deciding to pursue her plan, she opened her mouth and tried to pry open the dog demon's mouth.

 

Feeling Kagura try to deepen their kiss, the god demon's mind drew blank. 'What could be so wrong with just one kiss?' He asked himself as he slowly started to return Kagura's kiss, and parted his lips.

 

Finally starting to get the reaction she wanted out of her host, Kagura felt encouraged and emboldened. The wind sorceress pushed her tongue inside Sesshoumaru's mouth, and moaned as it brushed against his warm appendage. The silver haired demon eagerly responded to Kagura's deep kiss. She curled her body into his, trying to be as close to him as possible, before burying her hand into his long silver tresses.

 

As their two tongues entwined, he felt a surge of incredible desire and pleasure course through him, but as much as he wanted to push Kagura against the wall behind her and have his way with her, Sesshoumaru decided to hold himself back.

 

Glad to have made the cold dog demon react, Kagura slowly raised her second hand and trailed it up Sesshoumaru's arms before resting it on the dog demon's shoulder. Getting no objection from Sesshoumaru, Kagura lowered her two hands to run them over his chest. Still paying attention not to break their kiss, she then lowered her nimble fingers to the buckle of Sesshoumaru's belt trying to unfasten it quickly.

 

The feeling of Kagura's warm palms dancing over him and trailing downwards to his waistband sobered up the dog demon.

 

'I want the witch, but not like this, when she has tears running down her eyes and when she feels lonely, hurt and rejected. No this will not do. When I will have Kagura, it will not be when her mind is filled with another man, and with tears in her eyes' He thought when the salty taste of the droplets touched his tongue.

 

“Enough” Sesshoumaru commanded when he pushed Kagura away by placing his large warm hands on her shivering shoulders.

 

“No wait, I can make it good for you. I promise you'll enjoy it.” She insisted shrugging off his hold on her before leaning forward, her moist lips looking for Sesshoumaru's once more trying to regain their lost contact.

 

“No” he said more forcefully as he backed her away against the wall.

 

After the strong impact against the wall, as if she had suddenly regained her senses, Kagura looked at her friend with fear and regret in her crimson eyes. She unmated her back from the pristine white wall and took a step back towards the master bedroom.

 

“I'm sorry... I don't know what came over me... I just...” Feeling a wave of anger, disgust and mostly embarrassment overcome her, Kagura quickly fled towards the door closest to her without sparing a glance at Sesshoumaru.

 

“Damn it” He whispered in frustration under his breath before heading towards the closed door Kagura had taken refuge behind.

 

The dog demon knocked on the door lightly, then not getting any answer banged louder.

 

'Of course the witch would react this way. It was to be expected, she is trying to show her gratitude in the only way she may know how. After all using herself and her body might be the only way she has always known to attract men and get what she wanted. I am sure she must be terrified of what the future may hold and merely wished to make sure I will keep on helping her. In fact having men willing to pay merely to spend an evening in her company must have convinced Kagura that using her charms must be the best way to get things from men.' Sesshoumaru thought angry at himself for pushing Kagura away so harshly.

 

“Witch, open this door at once!” He ordered. He wanted to dissipate any misunderstanding between them as fast as possible. Sesshoumaru also wanted to reassure Kagura that he had no plan of getting rid of her, on the contrary...

 

Still not getting any reaction from the wind sorceress, Sesshoumaru pressed his ear against the door trying to find out what Kagura could be doing locked in his room.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

'What the fuck is wrong with me?!' Kagura wondered clenching her fists at her sides. She sat on the thick and plush carpet of Sesshoumaru's bedroom, keeping her back pressed firmly against the door. She could feel the vibration of the dog demon's pounding on the door against her skin, but she did not move from her spot.

 

“How could I be so stupid?!” The wind sorceress wondered banging her fist

against the floor before wiping some of the ever flowing tears from her cheeks. She was extremely angry at herself because she simply could not explain why she had reacted as she did.

 

'What was I thinking throwing myself at him like that? What is Sesshoumaru going to think of me now?' The crimson eyed demoness asked herself in anger.

 

'What am I saying? Instead of worrying about Sesshoumaru, I should be concerned about my and Kanna's future. Serves me right... I should have known better than basing my whole future on Shin. I counted on Yura, it didn't work... I counted on Shinichi and clearly I was so mistaken.... Then why am I expecting Sessh to be any better or different? The wind sorceress thought as she nervously played with the hem of her blue dress.

 

'I guess first I'll have to apologize to Sesshoumaru in order to dispel any weirdness between us. Then I'll have to find a solution by myself. I need to stop relying on people. Especially men... Shin did give me a good lesson on that.' She wiped a stray tear.

 

'From now on I will be the only person Kanna and I can and will count on. Even if I have to work my butt off, I'll make things okay... no I'll make things great for us. First I'll have to find us a place to stay; I've counted on Sesshoumaru too much already. Then I'm going to find a job. I trust in myself, I know I can do this. I am done waiting for other people to solve my problems. From today on I'll change my life myself! And I won't take pity or charity either!' Kagura told herself a determined light shinning in her crimson orbs. She then stood up and walked over to the length mirror hung on Sesshoumaru's wall. She groaned as she noticed how disheveled she looked.

 

Cursing under her breath she wiped the make up smudges under her eyes and smeared lipstick from her cheeks before straightening her dress and smoothing her hair and tying it in her usual bun.

 

“I still have some time to go before achieving my freedom. A freedom I will obtain by myself!” The wind sorceress said aloud with a disappointed sigh as she thought about the promise she had made herself only to free her hair when she would have gained her freedom, which she had thought would have come with Shinichi.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

Sesshoumaru's sense of hearing was so attuned as he tried to find out what Kagura was doing in his bedroom, that the silver haired demon could easily pick up sobbing sounds coming from the other side of the door. After taking a long steadying breath, his sensitive nose picked up tears coming from somewhere else. It was with surprise that Sesshoumaru proceeded towards the guest bedroom Kagura and Kanna shared. Upon entering he quickly found out that as expected the youkai infant was the other person crying.

 

'These females and their tears. What am I to do now?' He wondered as he made his way towards Kanna who was sitting up on the bed looking around her with tears in her dark eyes.

 

With the help of the light given off by the small side lamp, the blond little girl could tell that none other than “the nice man that made her mom laugh,”as Kanna liked referring to Sesshoumaru, had come for her.

 

“Mommy” She simply breathed out explaining the reason for her upset. Even if Kagura had tried to hide her tears from her daughter when she had put her to bed, Kanna had still seen them and it scared her.

 

'This is all so troublesome.' The dog demon thought in desolation. He was not used to dealing with a crying female, but two at the same time was almost too much for him to handle.

 

While pondering on his next course of action, something occurred to Sesshoumaru.

 

'Since the witch does not seem in any state to comfort her daughter, I guess I will have to step in...' He thought as he sat on the bed next to Kanna.

 

The reason he did not go to check on Kagura again was also that the dog demon was worried about things being too awkward between the two of them too soon after their kiss. Sesshoumaru felt ashamed to have taken advantage of Kagura's distress by accepting her kiss so eagerly and even more for pushing her harshly because he was afraid of not being able to keep a control on his lust.

 

Not sure how to comfort the little girl, Sesshoumaru took her in his arms and with his thumb brushed her tears.

 

“This Sesshoumaru is aware you can be trusted to know the best. Your mother is... going through a very hard time, and it is your duty to do your best to help her“ He tried explaining uncomfortably.

 

The blond toddler did not understand all Sesshoumaru had asked of her, but she understood that her mother was not going to come for her; this was not unusual to her after all Kagura often times was not available to comfort her daughter when she had to work. On the other hand Kanna found out that she enjoyed having the dog demon's comforting presence better than having the old woman Kaede to look after her.

 

Noticing that the little girl's tears had stopped and that she was now looking at him expectantly, Sesshoumaru rested a tender hand on her fair head. Exhaustion finally catching up to her, Kanna leaned forward to rest her head against Sesshoumaru's chest.

 

'As pathetic and cowardly as it sounds, I would rather deal with Kanna than Kagura' Sesshoumaru thought as he ran his claws along the little girl's pale locks. Not wanting to disturb the toddler who had now closed her eyes and was resting on him, the dog demon leaned backwards against the pillows. Before he knew how or even planned it, the dog demon had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

After taking enough time to recollect herself, Kagura walked out of Sesshoumaru's bedroom and headed towards the guest bedroom to check on her daughter. To the wind sorceress's shock, the silver haired demon as sprawled on the bed deeply asleep with Kanna snuggled against him. Despite how bleak her future seemed to her, or the fact that she just had her heart shattered, the display brought a genuine smile to Kagura's lips

 

As if she had felt her mother's presence, Kanna raised her head and looked straight at Kagura. After flashing her mom a smile, the pale demoness closed her eyes and once more rested her head on the dog demon's chest.

 

Not wanting to disturb the twosome, with a warm yet sad smile on her lips Kagura silently reached over to the bedside table to turn the small lamp off and covered the two with the light covers. She then walked over to the door of the bedroom.

 

'Maybe I shouldn't let Kanna get too close to Sessh... who knows how things may turn out between us once he wakes up...' The wind sorceress thought sadly as she headed towards the dog demon's bedroom to take some rest.

 

Despite her realization, seeing the unusually contended look displayed on her daughter's face made Kagura decide to let her stay next to Sesshoumaru, if only for the night. 'Kanna better stock up on good memories for now, who knows what will happen to us or if she will get another reason to smile like that...'

 

 

 

To be continued...

 

A/N: Sorry no lovey-dovey scene between are two demons... yet? Sorry for the deceiving title :P

 

What may happen in the next chapter? How about Sesshy making Kagura an offer she may not be able to refuse? The next chapter will be named Tempting propositions.
