Now that I altered the story, which will be longer than planned, she might just make an appearance.)

“Talking”

`Thoughts'

 

 

“Oh I think I ate too much. Thankfully for a change I was able to wear my usual clothes today. Really they should think about making the rule permanent” Kagome said after downing the last of her fries.

 

“What are you talking about? Don't you guys always wear jeans over here?” The wind sorceress asked in surprise after wiping her mouth.

 

“What? Where did you hear that? No it's only today that we...” Kagome started to be interrupted by a gruff voice.

 

“We nothing wench. Keh! You're always blabbering can't hold your mouth shut for one second!” Inuyasha interrupted his secretary as he sat down at the two woman's table.

 

'Feh! I got here just in time. Who knows what Sesshoumaru would do if his witch found out about his little plans...' The half demon thought with a sigh.

 

“Funny, you two seem pretty close. Are you dating or something?” Kagura asked her crimson eyes locked on the hanyou and human sitting across from her.

 

At the wind sorceress's remark, Kagome spit out the mouthful of soda she was about to swallow.

 

“Feh! Me and the wench? Are you crazy or what?” The white haired half dog demon said forcing himself to sound as disgusted as possible.

 

“And what's wrong with me?” Kagome asked revolted as she turned on her side to face Inuyasha.

 

'Oh crap I am done for.' The hanyou thought in dread as he noticed a throbbing vein of anger show on his secretary's forehead

“Bah why are you asking me? I'm sure if you look at yourself in a mirror you can find out what I meant...” He said unable to simply apologize.

“Oh so now you think I'm unattractive?! Well why don't you look at yourself in the mirror more often instead of judging other people you idiot!” Kagome screamed back at her boss.

“Feh then wench maybe you should...” Inuyasha started, but was quickly interrupted by Kagura.

 

“Enough you two! Why don't you chill a little Kagome. If Inuyasha is anything like his brother, then words aren't his forte. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean anything bad, did you?” Kagura asked her friend's younger half brother with a grin before sipping some of her iced tea. She decided to intervene because she was tired of seeing the two of them argue.

'These two could give anyone one hell of a headache.' The wind sorceress thought in dismay.

 

“Feh! I am not apologizing. Believe whatever you want.” The hanyou said stubbornly crossing his arms over his chest before sending a warm look at his secretary, his ears hung low, willing her to see how truly sorry he felt, and how he really did not mean to offend her.

 

“Fine, it's true that he is an idiot!” Kagome said with a small smile. She winked at her boss letting him know that she had accepted his silent apology.

 

“Good job. I won't force you to kiss and make up as I'm sure you can do that by yourselves.” Kagura said before getting to her feet carrying her empty plate and glass with her.

 

'Does she know? How would she?!' The young human wondered in shock.

 

“Where are you going?” Inuyasha asked as he eyed the wind sorceress who had started to walk away.

 

“To check on my daughter, do I need your permission for that? Are you spying on me of something?” The wind sorceress asked with a smirk.

 

“Keh! Hell no. Why would I do that for?” Inuyasha asked swallowing a lump of nervousness in his throat.

 

'I'm pretty sure Sesshoumaru wouldn't want her to know he asked me to keep an eye on her. Geez that woman is fucking scary I'm sure she could neuter a man with her nails. Don't know what my bastard of a brother sees in her. I like my women sweet and nice' Inuyasha thought as he glanced at his secretary.

 

“Good. See you guys later” The wind sorceress said as she marched on with a wave over her shoulder.

 

“I like her.” Kagome said with an appreciative smile. “She'll fit in with us perfectly.”

 

“Keh! Tell that to the bastard Sessh, he'll be thrilled.” The dog half demon said as he scratched the back of his left ear.

 

“Do you want me to help you with that?” Kagome asked sweetly as she ran her finger behind the twitchy furry appendage adorning his head. Her small action made Inuyasha shiver and slightly purr.

 

“Depends on how fast we can make it back to my office.” The words were barely out of Inuyasha's mouth, that the two of them were rushing to the elevators.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

“So how did you find your first day on the job?” Sesshoumaru asked the wind sorceress as they stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the door to his penthouse.

 

“A piece of cake. I think Kanna had a harder time than I did.” She answered with a smile.

 

“I doubt things were this hard for her. From what I heard from my brother she became fast friends with Shippou.” He said looking at the sleeping toddler in his arms. Seeing that Kanna had fallen asleep, Sesshoumaru had insisted on carrying her for Kagura.

 

“I'm glad. It's nice to see her interacting with kids her age, not like she had the opportunity to before.” The wind sorceress said feeling a familiar ache in her chest due to how much Kanna had had to suffer because of Naraku.

 

Noticing the saddened expression on her face, Sesshoumaru decided to make her feel better by announcing his surprise.

 

“While I was out this afternoon I bought a little something.” He said with a tiny smile as he fished out the keys to his apartment.

 

“I thought I told you before, don't buy me anymore stuff.” Kagura said slightly exasperated. “Are you trying to increase my debt in order not to get rid of me or what?” She then added trying to lighten the mood as she did not want her first day of honest work in a long time to be spoiled.

 

“This Sesshoumaru heard and understood you the first time. I bought things for Kanna, not you.” He said smugly, proud to have managed to go around her wishes. He purposely ignored her last comment as he was surprised how slightly true it sounded to him. 'Increasing Kagura's debt would be a way to keep her by my side longer... then again I manipulated her enough.'

 

“What did you mean anyway?” She wondered, the answer soon given when the dog demon opened the door and Kagura was greeted by a playpen filled with toys set on the living room floor.

 

“What is all this?” She asked in shock.

 

“There is plenty more.” He said with a satisfied smile as he walked towards the guest bedroom.

 

'For once Jaken did as instructed. Maybe he is not as incapable as I thought.' The dog demon thought as he took in the brand new white crib placed next to the bed.

 

“Since you are going to be staying here, I believe making your stay as comfortable for your daughter as possible would be for the best” The dog demon explained his reasoning.

 

'That bastard's too good. How can I refuse if all this stuff is for Kanna and not me?!' Kagura thought unnerved.

 

“When did we establish that? I never said I was staying here indefinitely. What are you going to do with all these baby stuff when Kanna and I are gone anyway? You really shouldn't have bought all this.” Kagura said matter-of-factly.

 

“This Sesshoumaru is smarter than you give me credit for; instead of buying them I rented them.” He answered with a shrug as he walked back to the living room to settle down the now awakened Kanna in the brand new playpen.

 

'Maybe I should lie to the witch less...' The dog demon told himself as he realized he had once more altered the truth. He had in fact bought all the items and not rented them.'In any case it is not as if the witch and her daughter will be leaving any time soon. At least if I have anything to do with it.'

 

“Okay fine. Just know that we'll move out as soon as I've put enough money aside to be settled down.” Kagura said wanting to have the last word.

 

“It is an interesting change not to have you argue as much as usual.” Sesshoumaru remarked with a sigh. He then took out his wallet and fished out a few bills.

 

“Shut up you jerk! I protest only when necessary.” Kagura shot back amused not able to keep off her cherry red lips a small smile.

 

As Sesshoumaru handed her the money she raised an eyebrow in surprise and questioned “What's that for?”

 

“Your dress. I returned it.” He answered her.

 

“I am not taking that money. You already spent way too much on me.” The wind sorceress said raising her hands in protest.

 

“Back to protesting? You are so predictable. Why don't we compromise and you can use the money to buy us a nice dinner” Sesshoumaru proposed. He had anticipated Kagura's reaction and had therefore created an alternate plan.'Not to mention that we have to celebrate her first day on the job. Moreover Kagura will not have to cook dinner tonight, which is definitely a plus.'

 

“A dinner for 300 dollars? Must be in some fancy restaurant” Kagura said with a scoff.

 

“Yes. I even made reservations for us. If we leave in a few minutes we can make it in time.” Sesshoumaru informed her as he looked down as his wrist watch.

 

“You are incredible.” Kagura remarked on a mocking tone.

 

'He had it all planned out?! That man is unbelievable. Every time I think I have him figured out, he goes and does something completely unexpected. Like buying Kanna all this stuff or kissing me back' The wind sorceress thought with a small flush on her cheeks.

 

“So I have been told.” The dog demon agreed with a proud smile as he nodded to Kagura.

 

“Ugh you're full of it.” Kagura then remarked even if a small smile could not help but form on her lips.

 

“So you say, but it does not seem to bother you that much” He threw over his shoulder as he started walking away. The dog demon lowered himself in a crouch next to Kanna who was actively trying out all her new toys. The little girl looked over to him and smiled brightly hugging a white plush toy to her chest before saying a warm “Thank you.”

 

“Smug bastard” Kagura muttered under her breath. She did have a smile on her lips, which mirrored her daughter's.

 

Despite his usual restraint and the fact that it did not show on his face, a nagging voice remarked to Sesshoumaru that him buying things for Kagura and her daughter was his gift to them, but the grateful smiles of the wind sorceress and her daughter were the best gifts he could ever have.

 

 

To be continued...

 

A/N: Seems like Sesshy is not willing to see Kagura and Kanna leave. Before you ask, no he's not trying to buy Kanna's affection. He's just being a nice guy. We'll see how the dinner will go in Dinner for three?
