Chapter 30: Fun and games

 

 

A/N: Hello it's been a while, no? Sorry about that. Saphira has just been swamped with school work, but I've got this new pure fluffy and fun chapter, which is longer than the previous one. From now on I'll try my best to keep up with my usual updating pattern :)

 

I've been getting tons of inspiration lately, and I think we have the new Inuyasha anime to thank for that. Have you watched the latest episode? No matter how many time I see Kagura's death scene I still tear up. How I miss her… well there's always fanfics yay!

 

Onto happier news, I was pleased (and speechless) to find out that my story has been nominated for an award on the website `The readers have chosen' crazy, no? If you feel like checking out their website or voting for the only Sessh/Kagura story in the running (Ku ku ku one step closer to world domination by my OTP lol). Here's the link:

“Talking”

`Thoughts'

 

 

“Come on stop pouting Sessh. Who cares about that band of annoying idiots, be glad that we get to have fun here together.” Kagura said from inside the bathroom of the master bedroom, which she and Sesshoumaru were sharing.

 

“Hum-uh” Sesshoumaru agreed absent mindedly. He was looking through the large glass doors leading to the balcony, which was towering over the private beach attached to the large plot his father had built the summer house on. The dog demon was impatiently waiting for his girlfriend to finish changing into her bathing suit, so they could join the others on the sun warmed thin sand he could see down there.

 

“So how do I look?” The wind sorceress asked seductively as she sexily and seductively removed the bathrobe she had cloaked herself in. She then threw on the large bed the terry cloth robe and placed her hands on her hips, posing, waiting for her boyfriend's reaction.

 

Sesshoumaru took his time admiring the appealing sight in front of him. He tried swallowing, his throat suddenly feeling dry; the reason being his girlfriend's appearance. The wind sorceress was wearing a very curve fitting red bikini adorned with thin white stripes and butterflies, which did not leave much to his imagination.

 

'She is perfect.' He thought to himself, feeling desire for his woman growing inside him.

 

“We are in the middle of May; the weather may still be a little cold, maybe you should wear something warmer.” He suggested taking a hold of her discarded bathrobe and handing it to her.

 

His protective reaction made Kagura laugh aloud. “It's my first time to see the sea, so even if the water was frozen, I'd still try swimming in the ocean. Anyway don't think I don't know what's wrong with you. Just so you know; there's no need to get jealous. I only have eyes for you.” She swore walking towards him to give him a firm hug.

 

“It is not your eyes I am worried about, but rather the wandering eyes of other people...” He muttered lowering his hand to the small of her back to press her even closer to him.

 

“Don't worry it's a private beach, and if Miroku so much as gets a few inches too close to me Sango will neuter him, that's if I don't get to him first... And Inuyasha? Pfft Kagome has him in the palm of her hand. Besides even if they look, no one else but you can touch.” Kagura said pressing a small kiss to the side of his neck before giving his sensitive skin a small nibble.

 

“Are you sure you want to get down there?” He asked fingering the tie to her bikini top, resisting the urge to tug on the string. 'Staying in this room until tomorrow morning seems about good to me right now...' Sesshoumaru thought with a smirk.

 

“Are you kidding?” Kagura asked disengaging herself from his embrace. “I've been waiting to see that sea from up close ever since we got here. Not to mention that Kanna's waiting for us. Now come on let's go!” She exclaimed happily before picking up her towel and hurrying out of the bedroom.

 

The dog demon pouted slightly, but changed into his swimming trunks before following his girlfriend out of the room. `How is it that this damned witch manages to make me do anything she wants?...'

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“It's scary.” Kanna frowned looking at the waves splashing at her feet with a frown. She then took a frightened step back, resting her tiny feet on the wet sand, not willing to have the water touch her pale skin.

 

“It's just water baby. There's no need to be frightened Kanna-chan.” Kagura said a reassuring smile on her lips as she took a step towards the moving waves, hoping her daughter would follow her, which Kanna did not. In fact she even took another step backwards for good measure. Trying to reassure Kanna and make her change her mind, Kagura took one more small step, her feet suddenly meeting and touching the coming surf.

 

“No!” The toddler gasped clinging to her mother's leg, trying to make Kagura take a few steps back, and effectively preventing the wind sorceress from touching the sea water. Seeing her daughter's reaction, she let out a heavy sigh before giving in and stepping away from the salty water licking at her toes.

 

“It's okay if you don't want to go in; it's really fine.” Kagura crouched in front of her daughter and smoothed back her pale blond locks.

 

Sesshoumaru looked from afar at his two girls; Kanna was wearing a white bathing suit with big orange floaters strapped securely around her arms, and Kagura was wearing what he deemed to be a torture device, the very tempting bikini she had bought especially for the occasion. After observing the situation in silence for some time, he decided to intervene. With a small sigh escaping his lips, and a frown on his brows, the dog demon approached the two female youkai.

 

“What is the matter?” He asked even though he already knew the answer to the question.

 

“Kanna is afraid of the waves. It's okay, we'll just go over and play on the sand.” The wind sorceress said sending a longing glance to the water she badly wanted to get acquainted with.

 

“Kanna there is no reason to be afraid. Would you feel more reassured if you were holding on to both your mother and me?” Sesshoumaru asked the cowering little girl.

 

“Why are you pushing her? She doesn't have to do anything if she's afraid.” Kagura snapped at him wondering why he was being so pushy all of a sudden.

 

“It is important for a child to learn how to swim. If she is afraid of the sea; she will never be able to get into a swimming pool.” He explained his behavior to his girlfriend.

 

“Hum I never thought about that...” Kagura trailed off. 'Sesshoumaru is right; she should learn how to swim. If something ever happened to her...' The idea scared and hurt the wind sorceress so much that she could not even complete it.

 

“I won't be afraid if I'm with mommy and Sesshoumaru.” Kanna cut through her mother's fearful thoughts. The toddler spoke softly turning her head to the side where she could see Shippou eagerly splashing sea water in his father's face, in front of the delighted Kagome who was desperately trying to hide her laughter. The sight caused Kanna to feel jealous of the young fox demon's relaxed behavior, and envious of the fun he was having with his family.

 

To Kagura's surprise, her daughter then wasted no time slipping her small hands into both the hands of Sesshoumaru and her mother.

 

“Good then let us go.” The dog demon nodded his approval, giving a light squeeze to Kanna's hand. 'Now that is commanding behavior. Taking your fears head on.' The dog demon thought proudly.

 

“That's very good Kanna-chan. I'm very proud of you.” Kagura smiled brightly as she, Sesshoumaru and Kanna walked hand in hand towards the coming waves. Her words of encouragement made both Sesshoumaru and Kanna smile back at her.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“Maybe you were right; the weather is still a little cold at this time of the year. I wouldn't want Kanna and Shippou to get sick...” Kagura addressed her boyfriend. She, Sesshoumaru, Kanna and Shippou were busy playing in the sand, with Kirara observing them curiously, while the others were having a mock fight in the water. Even though the wind sorceress had cloaked the two toddlers in warm fluffy towels, she still feared for their healths.

 

“They are both youkai and therefore will be just fine.” The dog demon reassured her, his golden gaze resting on the two children who were busy trying give a castle shape to their mound of sand.

 

“Fine. But we're only staying a few minutes more. They've played in the water for a very long time, and after all the little ones need their naps, and we grown up need to take care of the chores if we want to eat dinner in time.” The wind sorceress said picking up a stick of wood not far from her to draw some patterns on the sand.

 

“Witch, remember we are here to relax.” The dog demon interrupted her. “You have no need to worry about chores for the week we will be spending here. The house keeper Jaken has hired will come every day, so we don't need to worry about cleaning and laundry. And when it comes to cooking, well we first need to go grocery shopping. Besides there are six of us here, so all the responsibilities do not fall on you.”

 

“Fine okay. I get it.” The wind sorceress smiled softly. “All I'll do it relax and have fun during our little vacation.”

 

“Uncle Sesshoumaru can you get more wet sand for us?” Shippou asked with glowing emerald eyes and a toothy grin. When Inuyasha had first adopted him, the kitsune youkai was quite intimidated by his uncle, if not downright terrified of him. To Shippou's surprise since Kagura and Kanna had entered Sesshoumaru's life, his uncle had become warmer and nicer.

 

“I will be right back.” The silver haired demon said as he got to his feet, his nephew's green bucket in hand.

 

At his words the wind sorceress looked up from her drawing, only to be once again stunned in silence by Sesshoumaru's flawless appearance.

 

'There's just something to be said about water glistening down his bare chest.' She thought with flushed cheeks, appreciatively remembering how when they were initiating Kanna to the joys of playing with the ocean's waves, Kagura had had a hard time keeping her eyes, and hands, off her boyfriend. 'Get back to earth Kagura. I'll have all night long to play with his smooth skin...' She smirked to herself.

 

'They behave like children!' The dog demon thought with a sigh, his eyes straying to his younger half brother and Kagome, who were both busy trying to prevent Sango from drowning Miroku. 'The fool probably did something perverted again...' Sesshoumaru sighed in dismay.

 

Once the dog demon was done scooping sand in the bucket, he walked back to the children's growing construction. Only a few feet away from them, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and raised an eyebrow in surprise before speaking. “Kagura. What are you doing?”

 

“Hum? It's nothing much. I just really like the shape of your father's house that's all...The way both wood and rocks were used to mix a traditional house with a western style villa is pretty amazing” She said stopping the drawing she was making in the sand.

 

“Don't stop on my account.” Sesshoumaru instructed her as he handed the full bucket to the busy children. With a smile Kagura continued drawing her representation of the house.

 

“Thank you!” Both Kanna and Shippou exclaimed with bright smiles before getting back to their sandy construction. The young fox demon then tried to coax Kirara into making some paw imprints at the edge of their construction to match the ones he had made with his feet earlier.

 

“I did not know you were interested in drawing.” The dog demon said thoughtfully recalling how Kagura had been amazed by his talent all these weeks ago. 'She did not tell me she had a talent for drawing as well...' He frowned realizing there was much he did not know about the woman he had feelings for.

 

“Well I wouldn't call it drawing. I don't think I can draw people and things like you do. I just always loved houses and buildings. I just find fascinating seeing how they are built and stuff...” She responded with a shrug.

 

“In other words you are interested in architecture...” He suggested. `This should have been obvious to me before. It is after all not the first time she remarks on the aesthetic quality of a building, or a room.' Sesshoumaru thought to himself, vexed he had not figured Kagura's apparent interest in architecture and decoration beforehand.

 

“Don't make it sound so serious...” She chuckled slightly before throwing away the stick of wood she had used to draw on the sand.

 

“I was not kidding...” He trailed off, deciding to drop the subject. From some reason he felt as if the conversation was making Kagura slightly uncomfortable.

 

'My eyes are never wrong when it comes to art. Sure her drawing is rough and not the best quality, which is expected with the use of such a medium and her lack of training... On the other hand I can tell she has a lot of potential, and her proportions are excellent... How interesting... If I were to help her hone her talent, I am sure she could produce very good things.' He thought already thinking of a way to make use of his recent realization.

 

“What are you smiling like that for?” Kagura asked her boyfriend as she turned to her side to look at him.

 

“Nothing. You were right we should go back inside; the sun will soon go down and it is getting pretty chilly now.” He said not willing to reveal that the reason for his happiness was that he had found out something about her he was sure no one else knew, maybe not even her.

 

“Yeah you're right. Did you hear Sesshoumaru? Come on guys let's head back inside the house.” The wind sorceress addressed the two children, and the demonic cat assigned to watch over them.

 

“Since it's cold can we get hot chocolate?” Shippou asked with a smirk.

 

'He really is Inuyasha's son, the both are such gluttons.' Sesshoumaru thought quite amused. He had to admit to himself he never could have imagined his irresponsible younger half brother doing such a good job at raising the young orphaned fox demon.

 

“Well if you don't fuss too much about getting a bath...” Kagura trailed off getting to her feet.

 

“Can we get some pocky too?...” The young boy added, green eyes opening wide to beg, as he too stood up.

 

“Hum why not? So do we have a deal?” The wind sorceress asked a small smirk on her cherry red lips.

 

“Deal!” The fox demon agreed quickly.

 

“She can really get any male wrapped around her finger.” A quite impressed Sesshoumaru muttered under his breath as he looked at Kagura heading towards the house, balancing both Kanna and Shippou on her hips. After all Shippou had earned a reputation for finding creative ways to escape having to take a bath…

After taking a long relaxing shower in the luxurious white marble bathroom of the master bedroom, Kagura quickly got dressed. Just as she finished slipping into a T-shirt, she heard a knock on the door.

 

“You can come in Sessh, I'm done getting dressed.” She invited in the person on the other side of the door while tying her hair up in a bun.

 

“I'm surprised to know that our dear boss actually knocks on doors.” A mocking masculine voice said as its owner stepped inside the master bedroom.

 

“Miroku?! If you're here to steal my underwear or something fishy like that, know that any pain Sango can inflict on you, I can give tenfold.” She warned him with a sadistic grin.

 

“I do know that you can pack a serious punch...” Miroku said nervously massaging his jaw as he remembered Kagura's reaction when he had hired her as an escort so long ago.

 

“Besides why does everybody always thinks the worst of me? This is all Inuyasha's fault, spreading all these perverted rumors about me... In any case I'm not here for that. I just have been looking forward to the two of us having a private, very private chat.” The human walked towards her with shiny purple eyes.

 

“What do you want to talk about?!” Kagura asked feeling suddenly very uneasy.

 

“All the lies you've been telling Sesshoumaru about who you used to be.” Miroku said with a smile.

 

 

To be continued...

 

 

A/N: Hum what will happen next time? We will see the rest of the long awaited confrontation between Kagura and Miroku in the chapter Surprises.
