Chapter 29: Road trip

 

 

A/N: A shorter chapter (not that short though) because I really didn't have much time to myself this week. I still hope you'll enjoy. Unfortunately I doubt there's going to be an update next week. :(

Sovereignty Congrats on leaving the 50th review!!! (Hope you'll enjoy this chapter too)

 

 

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

 

 

 

“Talking”

`Thoughts'

 

 

 

“You know Sessh, I can't believe you let Jaken in charge of the office.” Inuyasha said noisily burying his hand into a bag of potato chips.

 

“I can't believe you're stuffing your face like that; especially considering we just had lunch two hours ago!” Kagome muttered giving her boyfriend a reproachful glance.

 

'I can't believe Kagome talked me into buying a bikini. Then again it's Sessh's fault for only giving me only an hour to shop before leaving.' Kagura though to herself a frown on her brows. 'But I'm sure Sesshy will like it...' She added with a smirk, images of their lustful time together the night before playing in her head. 'Who could have thought that hidden under his frosty appearance lived such an insatiable man?!'

 

'I can't believe I agreed to drag this band of moron with us!' Sesshoumaru fumed inside, tightening his hand on the wheel of the rental van. He then rolled his eyes to the side and simply looking at Kagura's happy smile made his anger and frustration melt away.

 

“I can't believe you people stuck me between the two car seats! And with a cat on my lap.” Miroku whined from the back seat of the van. He hated the fact that not only he was stuck in between Shippou and Kanna, but he also had Kirara placed on his knees, preventing him from making any type of movement.

 

Unconcerned by the grown-ups bickering, the two toddlers were taking a light nap, happily digesting their lunch.

 

“Well lecher, I can't believe you tried to grope me so many times in such a closed space. ” Sango hissed angrily, a light blush on her cheeks. “You know it's the reason we had to put you in a safe environment.”

 

“Silence all of you. If you wake up the children, this Sesshoumaru will be sure to make you pay.” As soon as he issued his threat complete silence fell over the car. Even Inuyasha's eating was mostly silent.

 

“Wow. You've got to teach me how to shut them all up like that...” Kagura whispered in her lover's ear, a grin on her lips.

 

“Don't worry I will later on.” He whispered back to her seductively.

 

“Feh you two are really disgusting, being all lovey-dovey like that.” Inuyasha commented as he noisily crumpled with his hand his empty bag of chips. His remark earned him a sharp glare from his older brother through the rear view mirror.

 

Feeling an argument brewing, Kagome decided to intervene by providing a distraction. “Hey you guys, I borrowed this book from my grandfather. It describes the nature of different demons. I just thought it'd be fun. Who wants to go first?”

 

“Me I do!” Shippou exclaimed enthusiastically from the backseat.

 

“Keh! Since when are you awake runt?” Inuyasha asked as he turned around to look at his son securely strapped in the back.

 

“Kagome! Inuyasha insulted me!” The fox demon complained with fake teary eyes.

 

“Feh when are you going to start calling me dad?! Or even better yet honorable father!” The hanyou shot back at his son.

 

'Calling that imbecile of Inuyasha honorable father? Hum probably when pigs fly.' Sesshoumaru thought with a small smirk.

 

“Probably when you'll stop calling him a runt. Now you two behave!” Kagome ordered her boyfriend and his son. The scolding caused the two to pout slightly.

 

“Hum Kagome I am impressed. I have to admit I quite enjoy it when women are able to take charge...” Miroku chuckled as he leaned forward towards Kagome's seat. Disturbed by his movement, Kirara jumped over from his lap to Sango's.

 

“Silence you perverted man!” Sango snapped as she suddenly turned around to slap her boyfriend. With a huff she then gently petted her cat. 'How dare he try to flirt with my best friend right in front of me?!'

 

“Don't get the wrong idea my dear Sango I only love you.” The purple eyed human said trying to save the nasty situation he had just put himself in. “Even if to be honest I must say that I always found Kagome kind of sexy in a girl next door kind of way, it really is appeal...”

 

“Are you trying to make a pass at my girl?!” Inuyasha interrupted him, flexing his claws in anger. The inu hanyou felt a surge of anger go through him due to Miroku's words. Best friend or not, any man trying to seduce his woman would feel his wrath.

 

“Don't get mad... it... it was only a joke.” The human man defended himself shaking his hands furiously.

 

“Didn't I tell you all to shut your mouths?” Sesshoumaru growled feeling his irritation growing.'These idiots already woke up the children! If they cause me to have a headache I will mercilessly kill them.'

 

“Don't get that mad, and don't let them ruin our time away.” Kagura murmured gently to the demon next to her, trying to ease his anger. “Anyway Kagome what were you saying about your grandfather's book or whatever?”

 

“Oh yeah. Let me see what they say about fox demons... Ah here it is... Fox demons are known to be smart, mischievous demons, who love playing tricks on people. They are however renowned to be cowardly.” Kagome read before adding with a smile “When it comes to Shippou-chan I'm sure he's not like that. He is very brave, even if he's quite the trickster.” The miko chuckled slightly amused.

 

“Feh! Shippou's a trickster alright...” Inuyasha mumbled under his breath, recalling how only the previous week his son had put some paint in his bottle of shampoo. 'Lucky for him Kagome was able to get that damn red color out. Hum makes me wonder what I'll do without my wench.' He wondered once again pleasantly surprised to see how much of a large part Kagome now played in his life.

 

“What does it say about dog demons?” Miroku asked from the backseat.

 

“Give me a sec... here it is. Dog demons are very protective of people they are close to and consider members of their packs; especially their mates. They are fiercely loyal and do everything to protect and provide for their loved ones... Aw that's so romantic and cute.” Kagome said as she instinctively leaned against her boyfriend's shoulder, looking for some of Inuyasha's comforting warmth.

 

“Is there a chapter on annoying humans in your book as well?” Sesshoumaru asked rolling his eyes in annoyance.

 

“Don't be so sour, that's kind of fun. So what about wind demons?” Kagura said giving her boyfriend's thigh a small punitive slap.

 

“Let's see. Wind demons hate being tied down, restricted or forced to do things. They have a tendency to go against orders and are renowned to be pigheaded and strong willed.” Once she finished the miko had a slight blush on her cheeks. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...”

 

“To what? Everything you said was absolutely true, and there's nothing wrong with that.” Kagura said with a proud smile.

 

“Oh okay...” Kagome mumbled unsure how to respond. Seeing the perfect opportunity, she quickly added as she turned around to look at the white haired toddler. “Well what kind of demon is Kanna?”

 

“Well... hum... she is a void youkai.” Kagura breathed out reluctantly.

 

Her answer made Sesshoumaru observe her thoughtfully from the corner of his eye. 'Void demons are extremely rare. That useless Shinichi did not seem to be one, so I do wonder how come Kanna is...' The realization that he did not even know Kanna's breed made him think. 'I should know this kind of information. I guess it is time for Kagura and me to have a deeper discussion on our respective backgrounds. Being in father's home will be sure to create such an opportunity.'

 

“I've never heard about this type of demon before.” Miroku said impressed as he looked at the little girl seated next to him. Despite his family's history with demons, and his spiritual powers, he had never encountered a demon such as her. As he paid a closer attention to her demonic aura, he did notice that it was indeed unusual.

 

“They are a very rare breed of youkai.” Sango said with a nod basing her answer on her family's demon slayer's heritage. Due to it, ever since her youth she had been taught about demons.

 

“Okay here we go. It says in the book that void demons are very rare. They do not process feelings and emotions the same way other people do. They can seem cold or detached to others, but they in truth are very sensitive people. When they do get attached to someone, they become very loyal to him or her, and never want to leave their side.” Kagome read before adding “Wow how fascinating. I guess it explains Kanna's behavior since I have never seen a little girl as nice and well behaved as her.” The miko said offering an awkward comforting smile.

 

“How interesting indeed. Is Kanna's father a void demon as well? That would be a plausible explanation since her mother is a delectable wind goddess.” Miroku asked thoughtfully, wincing when he noticed Sango's glare.

 

“This does not concern you.” Sesshoumaru informed his employee as to his surprise, he could easily tell that the subject was making Kagura feel uncomfortable. He gave her a soften glance, aiming to comfort her, but she did not see it as she was looking out the window, a frown on her face. “In any case, we have arrived at the house.” The dog demon said as the van entered a massive courtyard.

 

His sudden announcement was met by sighs of happiness and relief from all the occupants of the car. As soon as the vehicle was parked, everyone came out. Kagura and Kagome both went to the back of the van to free the restless Shippou and Kanna.

 

“Wow” The wind sorceress breathed out in awe as she stood next to her boyfriend, her daughter in her arms. When the dog demon had told her that his late father's villa was a sight to behold, he had not been lying.

 

“It's a beautiful house.” She noted suppressing the urge to squeal in amazement, excitement and happiness. Never in her wildest dreams could Kagura have ever thought about staying in such a luxurious place.

 

“You have yet to see the inside of it. The house is decorated in quite a tasteful way.” Sesshoumaru said with a smile before pressing a small kiss to Kagura's cheek and gently ruffling Kanna's bangs.

 

“I can't wait.” The wind sorceress said with one of the brightest smiles Sesshoumaru had ever seen on her face. Its beauty simply took his breath away, and melted his heart even more.

 

“Well what I can't wait to find out is how we are going to be rooming.” Miroku said with a grin. He chuckled gently as his hand traveled to his girlfriend's behind.

 

“I will definitely NOT be sleeping in the same room as you!” Sango said her cheeks burning crimson in anger and embarrassment as she turned to her side to slap Miroku. She took her cat in her arms and stomped away unhappily, with her apologetic boyfriend on her heels, professing his undying love for her.

 

“Why on earth did I agree to bring these morons along again?!” Sesshoumaru asked himself with a tired sigh, for what seemed to him to be hundredth time.

 

 

 

To be continued...

 

 

A/N: Small cute interlude chapter. I hope you found the whole thing instructive and fun. Next time we'll see how things go down during their little trip. The next chapter will be named Fun and games. As I said before I seriously doubt I'll be able to post a chapter next week. I once again apologize and hope to see you soon.
