A/N: On this very special day I would like to give you a little romance. Hum this celebration reminds me of 'Special Delivery' after all it had all started on a Valentine's Day evening...This chapter will be some sort of interlude before all the drama starts to unravel. I present you guys with a bonus lemon... you better enjoy it because it might just be the last one in the story :P

Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, Sesshy and Kagura would be happily mated and working on silver haired baby number three by now…
“Talking”
‘Thoughts’ ;
The wind sorceress inserted her key inside the lock before turning and letting a sigh of relief. She had just gotten home from class, and could not wait to kiss her daughter before putting her to bed, and have a late dinner with Sesshoumaru before they slipped into bed. As unexciting as what she was looking for might sound, it had become a routine she had gotten used to, and could not wait to do.
“I’m home.” She yelled as she entered the penthouse. She eagerly put her purse and coat away before slipping out of her shoes, and walking towards the guest bedroom to check on her daughter. She was surprised to find the room empty.
“Are you guys playing hide and seek?” She asked as she walked back through the corridor wondering where her fiancé and daughter could be. She knew they were home as the lights had been on when she had entered the penthouse.
“I am here.” She heard a deep voice say behind her, causing her to be startled.
“Oh God! Sesshoumaru don’t pop up behind me like that. You scared the hell out of me.” She let out a relieved sigh even as she felt a little silly for being spooked. “Where’s Kanna? I wanted to kiss her goodnight, but she wasn’t in her crib.”
She was surprised when she saw a small smile spread on his lips. “Let’s just say she is having a small impromptu sleepover at Inuyasha’s house.”
“Not that I mind, but I wished you would have told me before sending her off. Oh well she’ll have fun… In the meantime it seems like it’s going to be just you and me tonight.”
Sesshoumaru’s golden eyes followed her as she walked towards the master bedroom, and he once again smiled as he internally gloated over the plan he had hatched.
Kagura was slightly surprised by the unusual way Sesshoumaru was acting, but did not think much of it. Even though it was not his habit not to tell her the whereabouts of Kanna beforehand, she was sure it was due to a fact out of his control.
‘Knowing Inuyasha, he probably promised Shippou a sleepover then forgot to call us in advance to schedule it…’
She was so busy thinking about the dog demon that it took her a moment to notice the beautiful red dress draped over their bed. A look of surprise on her face, she took it in her arms for a closer look.
“What is the meaning of this?” She turned around to face Sesshoumaru who had just walked inside the room.
“I would like you to get changed, we are going out…” He interrupted himself to look at his watch. “In thirty minutes. Therefore unless you wish to be late, you should start getting ready now.”
Then as she noticed that Sesshoumaru had also placed what seemed to be a new tuxedo on the bed she asked him “Where exactly are we going?”
“I am surprised that you seem willing to go this quickly. I had anticipated your refusal.”
“I did not say I was going.” She retorted, placing the beautiful satin gown back on the comforter before resuming speaking. “My finals are soon, so I need to study. Plus I’m really tired, and I truly only want to go to bed right now.”
“And miss the surprise I have planned, I think not. Collect the dress, and put it on otherwise I will leave without you in 28 minutes.” The dog demon had barely finished speaking that he headed towards the bed, and started getting ready.
She silently yet curiously watched him as he first undressed then slipped on his new garment.
‘He is such an infuriating man!’ She thought to herself even as Sesshoumaru’s mysterious plan had her curiosity picked. No matter how much she wanted to resist him, she knew that in the end she would give in.
“Fine fine. I will put the dress, and follow you wherever. But don’t expect me to do my hair, makeup or whatever…” The wind sorceress sighed, and wasted no time taking off her sweater then pair of jeans.
As much as she wanted to pretend not to care much about her appearance, despite the lack of time Sesshoumaru had given her before leaving, she did take the time to not only brush her hair up in a ponytail, but also apply some light make up.
It had not taken him long for him to put on his shirt, vest, jacket and shoes, so he used the remainder of his time to look at Kagura rushing around to get ready, mild amusement clear in his gaze.
Her acceptance caused a tiny satisfied smile to spread on his lips. He knew her well enough to anticipate that she would have caved in the end, but seeing her comply despite her earlier reluctance was a source of amusement.
“You have five minutes left wind witch, if I were you, I would hurry.” He informed her.
Instead of voicing her annoyance, the wind sorceress simply looked away from the mirror in which she was looking at herself while applying her trademark red lipstick, to send Sesshoumaru a fierce glare. Her reaction made him smile again.
As soon as she finished applying her makeup, the wind sorceress reached inside the closet to fish out a pair of heeled shoes. She did not know where they were going, which only made her choice even harder. However seeing how the dog demon had made the effort to buy her a new dress, she was sure he would take her somewhere in public. This meant that she would make sure to do him proud, and look as nicely as possible.
‘I really have no idea what shoes to put on right now…’
Instead of continuing to rummage aimlessly through her shoes, she decided to ask him for a little bit of help. Kagura paused in her search, and sat back on her haunches, turning her head to the side to look at her lover. “So where exactly are we going? If I knew it would help me decide which shoes to wear…”
“Hum just try to look your best…” He first said, but then realizing that his words would probably not be much help, he then added “Simply wear something to go with the dress.”
The wind sorceress did not answer, and instead scoffed before muttering under her breath about idiotic dog demons.
“Next time you want to buy me a dress think about the shoes I have. I guess shoes are a detail often looked over by you men... I mean, I don’t really have any shoes that will fit this gown.” Even though her words came out muffled due to her being on her knees, and having her head buried inside the closet, he still heard her clearly.
“I had thought about shoes, but figured that you would already be upset enough about getting a new dress, and did not want to make things worse by adding shoes on the bill. Although I must admit that you have indeed been extremely accommodating tonight, to this Sesshoumaru’s surprise.” His golden eyes watched the wind sorceress as she crawled out from the closet.
“You make me sound like a two year old throwing a tantrum! I’m not that bad. Besides things are different know. At first I was uncomfortable about owing you for buying me all that stuff, but now I’m not that unsecure about our relationship.” She said as she sat on the bed, and put on the black heeled pumps she had settled her mind on. They may not exactly fit with the dress she was wearing, but they would have to do, she decided.
The dog demon did not speak a word. He was still surprised by Kagura’s earlier admission. He knew first hand that because of her past, she had had a lot of issues about accepting gifts, or having people, especially men, spend money on her. However hearing her admit that she no longer felt the need to reject anything he would buy her made him feel special, and made him truly realize how much she trusted and loved him.
“Your time is up. If you do not find yourself in my car in the next thirty seconds, I will drive away without you.” Without waiting for her answer, he quickly left the room, and headed towards the door of the penthouse.
“You’re such a jerk!” She exclaimed even as she sat up from the bed, and followed after the dog demon. She had thought that Sesshoumaru was already on his way to the elevator therefore it came to a total surprise to her when she bumped into his broad back. She had been running, aiming to catch up to him, and had not anticipated for him to be waiting for her.
“Are you alright?” He asked turning around to look down at the woman who had just literally run into him.
“Yeah I’m fine. I’m sorry, I thought you had left me behind.” She said, gently caressing her poor nose, which had gotten bruised when she had bumped head first into the dog demon’s strong back.
“I would never leave you behind.” He assured her. He then reached for her, and removed her hand from her nose to look at it. She was slightly surprised when the leaned forward to press a kiss to the top of the offended organ. Before she had had the time to react, he had already turned around and walked away.
“Now hurry unless you want to be left behind wind witch.” He said before opening the front door of the penthouse.
“Didn’t you just say you would wait?! Ugh you’re so annoying sometimes!” She cursed under her breath even as she rushed to fall into step with him. Her previous reluctance to go with him was now all gone, and had been replaced by a burning curiosity to know what he had in store for her.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000
The wind sorceress allowed her crimson eyes to look around the long corridor she and Sesshoumaru were walking through. The moment he had handed the keys of his car to the valet of the Imperial Hotel, she had been surprised. She knew that the restaurant of the hotel was very famous, and was looking forward to having a fancy dinner. However her anticipation at the idea of a nice meal was crushed when Sesshoumaru had walked straight to one of the elevators, which had taken the two of them to the top floor of the hotel. As far as she knew the top floor was only comprised of hotel suites, which did not fit into the idea she had of what Sesshoumaru had planned for the evening.
“I thought we were going to dinner? There was no need to drag me all the way to a hotel for that.” She said casually, hoping to get him to reveal his plan.
“Do not ask question, and keep walking, we will be there in a second.” He did not even bother to turn around to look at her when he spoke these words.
Just as she was about to berate him, he stopped in front of a set of wide double doors.
“Here we are.” He fished out his wallet, and retrieved a key card from it. He then used it to unlock the doors, and stepped inside, turning on lights as he went on.
“What was so special that you had to… oh!” As she walked inside the hotel suite, she completely forgot what she was about to say. Her crimson eyes travelled all around the room, shinning in amazement.
On the plush white carpet were scattered red rose petals, and pink paper flowers. Small colored tea lights were leading the way towards a beautifully set dinner table.
“Did you do all this?” She asked, still under shock.
“Kanna and Rin made some of the paper flowers, they wanted to do something nice for you. When it comes to the rest of the decorations, I enlisted the help of Kiriko, and she seems to have gone a little over board…” He commented dryly, a frown on his face even as he pushed away a pink paper flower with the tip of his shoe.
His words brought tear of joy to her eyes. It explained better what their two little girls had been working on the previous evening. While Kagura had been studying for her coming finals in the living room with the help of her fiancé, Kanna and Rin had hid in the guest bedroom of the penthouse. She had guessed the two children were doing some sort of arts and crafts because on several occasions Sesshoumaru had interrupted their studying session to provide the two children with a steady supply of colored paper, glue and other materials. Their mother had inferred they had been doing some sort of collage, but she now saw how wrong she had been. The idea of Sesshoumaru relying on their two daughters and his secretary in order to surprise her really moved the wind sorceress. She knew better than anyone how much Sesshoumaru liked doing things by himself.
“Personally I think it’s adorable. I’m surprised you went through all this trouble.” She walked forward to look at the entire room. She could not prevent a laugh from escaping her throat when she noticed that Kiriko had seemed to indeed take things a bit too far. In fact the small dining table which had been set up for two was completely covered with colored ribbons, which even hid the utensils and flower arrangement.
“I believe we deserved a break.” He reached over her to remove some of the red ribbons placed on the table, and threw them on the spotless carpet. His action uncovered the plates, which were hidden under small metal food covers.
“Sesshoumaru I really appreciate the effort, thank you.” She turned around to quickly press an unexpected kiss to his lips before addressing him again. “I am really starving though.”
“Good, why don’t we eat?” He barely finished talking that he reached for one of the two chairs, and invited Kagura to sit on it. He then rounded the small table, and sat across from her.
“Hum I can’t wait to find out what’s for dinner.” She smiled at him before removing the cover from her plate. Her mouth turned into a small ‘o’ of surprise when she saw that unlike what she had expected, her plate was composed of small bite sized desserts. Her mouth watered as she ogled the fruits tarts, cakes and even a tin of chocolate mousse.
“Dessert for dinner?” She asked him, an eyebrow raised in surprise, and a mischievous grin dancing on her lips.
“You have no reason to worry about setting a bad example. Kanna and Rin will not know.” He smiled back at her as he too uncovered his own plate, which unlike hers comprised of a rare steak accompanied by mixed greens. She was not surprised to see that he would be eating something different. After all she knew too well that her fiancé did not share her sweet tooth.
“Hum it all feels so decadent.” She immediately picked up her spoon, and grabbed a first sweet confection, eager to dig in.
‘Good everything has gone on perfectly so far.’ He smiled to himself, his golden eyes following her as she dived into the chocolate mousse with gusto.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000
“Ugh I am as stuffed as a pig. I shouldn’t have eaten all my food plus your dessert. It’s just that seeing all this uneaten food annoyed me.” Kagura murmured as she burrowed her face against her lover’s side. The two of them were seating on a loveseat, cuddling close.
“You have no need to make up an excuse… I have long ago realized you have quite the... strong and healthy appetite.” He gently teased her.
“Ha ha that was so not funny.” She retorted before giving him a light punch in the ribs.
“The truth often is not.” He assured her before hooking a finger under her chin, effectively raising her lips to a height fit for his taking.
She chuckled against his lips before responding to his kiss hungrily. Kagura opened her mouth, and welcomed his invasion more than happily. The tongues of the two demons gently tangled as their kiss deepened. Even as their lips met, he allowed his hands to trail over her sides, gently going up to graze the underside of her cleavage.
“I want you.” He growled when they finally broke apart for much needed air. He gently pressed kisses on her lips then travelled down to her neck. In an effortless gesture he took down her hair from the ponytail she had tied it into, and ran his claws through her long curly dark tresses.
“Me too.” She breathed out. There was nothing she wanted more right now than to make love with Sesshoumaru.
As soon as he heard her words, he wasted no time standing up from the loveseat, and scooping her in his arms before quickly heading towards the large bedroom of their hotel luxury suite. He did not even waste time turning on the main lights, and simply walked inside the dark room before gently putting Kagura on the soft bed. The small lamp located on the side table would provide him with all the light he would need.
The dog demon immediately started working on getting himself undressed. He firstly slipped off his jacket and carelessly threw it away in one of the dark corners of the room. He then unbuttoned his vest and flung it aside as well. The wind sorceress would have helped him along, but decided to sit back and simply enjoy the show. She observed him with anticipation, a warm flush on her cheeks. She took in a deep breath when her lover took off his shirt, revealing his flawless pale skin. However it was when he took off his expensive trousers and boxers that her heart started beating faster.
His naked form joined her on the bed, and he pressed her clothed body as close to his as possible.
“I think that the only reason you bought me this dress was so that you could take if off me, so I’ll let you do the honors.” She smiled up at him.
“How considerate my love.” He responded before doing as instructed. He wasted no time starting working on getting her equally naked. He took his time revealing her skin to his eager eyes. He firstly removed the red cool material from her shoulder before pressing a kiss to her smooth skin.
He quickly undid the side zipper of her bright red dress revealing her almost naked body. At that moment he was glad that the dress he had chosen did not allow for her to wear a bra unless it was strapless, and since the dog demon had rushed her, she had decided to forgo wearing a bra altogether, for which he was grateful. When he removed the sleek red garment, he was only greeted by creamy naked skin, and a small pair of black panties, which he wasted no time throwing away on the growing pile of clothes at the foot of their bed.
“Come over here.” She instructed him before taking a hold of a strand of his long silver hair, and bringing his head closer to hers. Sesshoumaru moved his body over hers, and pressed a kiss to her lips as she wanted. To her annoyance before she could deepen their kiss, he moved his lips away, having them travel down her face, then her neck, and finally rest on her breast.
She moaned appreciatively when Sesshoumaru suckled hard on her nipple, but then let out a small cry when he gently nibbled it. He then went on to press kisses down her stomach, and she knew exactly what he was going to do, and her response was to start squirming in anticipation.
Just as she expected, Sesshoumaru continued his kisses downwards to the top of her thighs. He then moved in between her legs, and pressed an open mouth kiss to her womanhood. She shivered in pleasure when he ran his tongue over the bundle of nerves hidden, and gasped loudly when he inserted two long fingers inside of her, mimicking an action he would be making with another part of his body shortly.
She bit her bottom lip, in fear of letting out a loud cream. The last thing she wanted was for the people in the room next to them to hear their lovemaking; unlike in their penthouse she was not sure how soundproof the walls were. She arched her hips in pure pleasure before grabbing a nearby pillow, and crushing it to her breasts, causing it to muffle her passionate cries.
The dog demon growled lowly in his throat then paused in his ministrations, and removed his head from between her spread legs.
“Oh no! Please don’t stop!” She cried out. Instead of answering his lover, he reached up to yank the pillow from her grasp, and threw it off the bed.
“I want to hear every single moan and cry of pleasure you let out.” He let her know before diving back, and working her even more aggressively. Even while he was talking he had not stopped caressing her with his fingers; therefore, when he had his tongue join in again, it did not take Kagura long to reach her peak.
He chuckled slightly when he felt her shudder against him. There was nothing he liked more than providing her with pleasure. He came to his knees in front of her ready to take things one step further.
She looked up at him through half closed eyes while doing her best to regain her breath after her amazing climax.
“Hum I don’t think I’ll be able to move for a little while longer…” She informed him breathlessly. As much as she wanted to reach for him, and return the pleasure he had just brought upon her, she knew she did not have the necessary strength just yet.
He responded by smiling before laying his body over hers, resting in between her legs.
“Not to worry, I will do the moving for you.” He murmured in her ear just as he slowly sheathed himself inside her.
Sesshoumaru paused once her surged into her. He took his time to enjoy their connection then as he had promised earlier he did not wait for her to start thrusting in her willing body. The dog demon gently used his right hand to caress the skin of her left leg before raising the limb slightly, and hooking it over his own leg to enable him to move deeper.
He slowly made one deep thrust, gently rolling his hips. Even as his instincts screamed at him to increase his speed, he took his time; he wanted to make sure Kagura would enjoy their encounter as much as he did.
Before the wind sorceress, it had never occurred to him to work so hard to ensure that the woman he was with would feel pleasure. Previously he had not been emotionally attached enough to his partners to care much about their experience of their coupling. Whether he had known the women for a long time, such as Touran, or had just met them at a bar, it was all the same to him. Of course as his pride commanded, he would always make sure the women he was with enjoyed themselves to a minimum. In fact nothing boosted his ego more than having a woman in the throes of passion scream his name. However things were very different with Kagura; he was actually more concerned with her pleasure than with his own.
“Hum Sesshoumaru.” Her gentle moan against his ear caused a shiver of pleasure to run down his spine, and encouraged him to move faster. To ensure that she was going to reach bliss before he did, he trailed his clawed hand down to reach for the small pearl hidden in the folds of her womanhood. He gently rubbed it using his fingers, the same way he had done earlier with his tongue.
The wind sorceress arched her back, and cried out in pleasure when she climaxed again. She clung to his body tighter, wanting in her pleasure haze to be as close to him as possible. Sesshoumaru closed his eyes, and kept himself back. He steeled himself against his release, gritting his teeth with the effort. In order for his plan to work just as he wanted, he needed to have her be pleasurably exhausted, and to do so he wanted to make love to her some more. In order to fulfill his goal, he reluctantly slipped out of her body.
Sesshoumaru flipped her over, and she slowly rose up to her knees, presenting herself to him. Ever since he had finally accepted his youkai side, it was not uncommon for him to take her in this position, and she was always more than willing to comply.
Without any delay he entered her body again, and resumed his thrusting. She was so overly sensitive due to their previous activities that to her own shock she climaxed again in no time. This time no matter how much Sesshoumaru wanted to hold back, he was not able to. As soon as Kagura shuddered against him, he grabbed her hips tightly, and came as well. As he let his control slip, he felt his claws scrap the side of her hips, but was still lucid enough to remember to loosen his hold on her lest he injure her. Even if due to their recent couplings he knew that she was strong and more than able to handle him he still did his best not to harm her in any way.
Just when he finished emptying his seed inside her willing body, the two of them fell on their side in a tangle of sweaty bodies and limbs.
“I don’t know what got into you…but damn that was amazing” She panted. “I am so exhausted though.” She sighed even as she crawled up the bed to rest her head against his chest.
“Then why don’t you sleep for now? I will wake you up in a little bit.” He assured her before pressing a kiss to her temple.
“A little bit?” She echoed before letting out a mocking snort. “Are you sure you will be able to perform as desired?” She gently teased him.
“Since when do you doubt this Sesshoumaru?” He shot back. She chuckled slightly in response, but then could not muster the strength to continue their banter, and quickly fell asleep.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000
Unlike what she had expected, it was not Sesshoumaru’s gentle kisses that woke up Kagura, but a sharp pain in her finger. Due to the small light coming from the side table she was able to see none other than Sesshoumaru hunched over her hand.
“What are you doing?” She murmured voice heavy with sleep, and surprise clear in her voice. He only responded with a string of curses; something so unusual for him.
“Nothing, it will just take a second…” She cried out when he tugged on her finger. Despite his reassuring words, she did not hesitate to take her left hand away from him. She brought the limb closer to her crimson gaze, and was surprised to see a small silver band placed on her finger. The only problem with the piece of jewelry was that despite Sesshoumaru’s best efforts, it had not been able to go down her finger.
“Is that what I think it is?” She asked incredulous, her widened eyes rived on the band placed on her ring finger. The look of guilt and discomfort present on Sesshoumaru’s face told her everything she wanted to know.
“You were supposed to wake up, and find it on your finger. Unfortunately it seems I may have miscalculated…” He admitted. While Kagura was still sleeping, he had attempted to secretly slip the ring Izayoi had given him, Tenseiga, on his fiancée’s finger. Unfortunately unlike what he had imagined, he had not been able to put the ring on Kagura’s finger. And when he realized that the ring was not fitted for her size, he had tried taking it off, which had not worked either.
“This is the first and last time this Sesshoumaru will do anything this romantic.” He swore. The way he spit out the last word let Kagura know exactly how vexed he was that his plan had not worked out.
“I sure hope not. A woman does need to be romanced by her husband once in a while. Where did you get that ring? It’s beautiful… even though it’s stuck on my finger.” She momentarily ignored the throbbing of pain present in her finger to smile at her lover. It was unusual for him to show his affection in such romantic ways, and the last thing she wanted was to make him feel uncomfortable. She of course was more than aware of the depth of his feelings for her, but seeing him show it through a gesture or action was always a major plus.
“It is a family heirloom; women of my family have been wearing it for over 500 years. Izayoi just handed it to me, so do not even think of refusing the ring.” He could tell that Kagura was glad about his gift, but wanted to make sure she would keep it. Knowing her, he was never really sure how she would react.
“I wasn’t planning on doing that. It’s truly beautiful, and it will be an honor to wear it. However I need to take it off right now, or I have a feeling blood will stop circulating in my finger for good.” Even as she finished speaking, the wind sorceress started carefully tugging the ring. However despite her efforts it would still not budge.
“How did you stick the damn thing on the middle of my finger?” She asked him thinking ‘Knowing his stubborn streak, I am sure that when he noticed that the ring had trouble going down my finger, he simply obstinate himself, and forced the damn thing on.’
Sesshoumaru, who prided himself on doing everything well was upset to have botched his proposal, he therefore decided that the least he could do was to help his wife to be remove the ring he had slipped on her finger earlier. Therefore a scowl still present on his face he took her hand, and tried getting the band off himself. Kagura’s sudden cry of pain made him stop his efforts.
“Are you trying to tear off my finger?” She said trying to take her hand away from his hold.
“I will have it off in a second.” He retorted, ignoring her efforts to tug her hand away from him.
“Stay away from me! She jumped off the bed, heedless of her nakedness, and headed to the bathroom. “There must be some lotion or soap in here that I can use to get that thing off.” She simply told him as means of explanation.
He was about to go help her when she let out a cry of triumph. He was not surprised when she strode back inside the room with a bright smile on her lips, and the small silver ring cradled in the palm of her hand.
“See all it needed was a bit of lubricant, not brute strength! My ring finger’s a little bruised, but I don’t think it was hurt too badly. I should be fine come morning... Let’s just be grateful for complimentary soap in hotel bathrooms.”
“I am sorry.” He quickly apologized.
“Don’t worry, I’ll survive. Although it’s really a pity I can’t wear this ring, I really do like it.” She looked at the object wistfully.
“Do not worry about it; I will have Toutousai enlarge it. I should have anticipated such a thing occurring. After all Izayoi is much thinner than you are.” He said baffled that the difference in size in the two women had not in his mind been considered as an important factor.
She decided to let the comment about her difference in weight with his step mother slide, only because earlier in the night Sesshoumaru had proven more than enough time how much he loved her body just the way it was. Moreover she was much more interested in something else he had said.
“Toutousai?!” She gasped. “As in the senile old man who is the manager of our building? You mean to tell me he’s a master youkai blacksmith?”
“As incredible as it may sound, it is true. He has crafted many swords and other youkai artifacts for my father.”
“Wow. Well he is quite handy with a wrench... I mean he did manage to fix the dish washer extremely quickly.” She reflected, remembering when she had just met the dog demon, and had enlisted Toutousai’s help to bring back Sesshoumaru’s penthouse in good working order.
“He also knows how to obtain rare youkai materials, so I am sure he will be able to have your ring ready in no time.” He took back the piece of jewelry, and placed it back in the velvet box he had purchased for it before putting in down on the side table.
“Even though you know how material stuff don’t really matter much to me, I must admit I am glad about getting an engagement ring… it just makes this whole marriage thing even more real…”
“Did you doubt my word?” He asked clearly hurt. It almost occurred to him to remind her how she had rolled her eyes, and scoffed at him when only a few days ago he had once again asked her to sign the papers his lawyer Myouga had prepared in order to make Kagura, Kanna and Rin his heirs. Of course the dog demon did not wish to tell his fiancée about his irrational fear about something bad happening. Despite his quiet insistence Kagura had refused to even look at the papers, and in exchange Sesshoumaru had therefore decided to put things in the works for their wedding.
“No! Of course not.” She told him before cradling his face in her hands, and pressing a small kiss to his lips. “I love you so much, and I know you feel the same.”
“As long as you remember it.” He told her before reciprocating her earlier kiss with one of his own, destined to her forehead. “Now let us go back to bed; I promised Kanna that we would pick her up early to go get breakfast. She was quite disappointed to miss the whole proposal…”
“She knew about your plan all along?! I can’t believe she managed to keep this whole thing a secret from me.” Kagura pouted. She was glad to see that Sesshoumaru and Kanna got along well, but it was still a shock to her to see how close they had truly become.
“She is turning into a real daddy’s girl.” He said proudly.
“Hum wait until we have a boy, he will be on my team.” She joked, a smile tugging at her lips.
“This Sesshoumaru doubts such a thing would occur, but you are free to try Mrs. Takahashi to be.” He chuckled before turning off the side lamp and settling back under the covers of the bed. Kagura eagerly following his example.
‘Mrs. Kagura Takahashi. Sure beats that crappy name of Onigumo…’ She thought as he allowed her lover to cradle her closer to his body in his strong arms.

The spider hanyou looked down at the woman seating on the bed next to him. She was removing her dress, getting ready to bear her body for his pleasure. However the expression on her face was more similar to one seen on a prisoner’s face as he was led to the gallows.
Although the hanyou usually thrived on seeing other people’s pain and suffering, the terror present on the young woman’s face was not enough to arouse him. Ever since he had lost most of his businesses, and that almost of all his partners had ended in either jail, or had fled the country, he was finding it difficult to find pleasure.
“Enough you useless woman. You even fail to arouse me.” He spat at her angrily before giving her a sharp punch, causing her to bounce of the bed, and fall ungracefully to the ground.
“I am sorry, please forgive me master.” The young woman sobbed in fear. Even if the dark half demon’s brothel had officially closed its doors, he still had managed to keep some of his girls due to blackmail, and the young beauty kneeling at his feet, prostrated in fear, was one of the poor unfortunate women. She nervously tucked a strand of pale blond hair behind her ear, and an idea suddenly struck the half demon.
“Mayumi, I have a job for you.”
“Really master Naraku?” She tried feigning eagerness, but failed miserably. The last thing she wanted was to have to sexually please another disgusting old man. However she was willing to do anything to make Naraku happy, and prevent him from delivering blows on her. Or worse hurt her elderly mother who was her only living relative.
“Do not look so displeased, it will involve acting and a little field trip, I am sure you will love it.” Even as he spoke the words, Naraku could see the final pieces of his plan coming together.
“It will be an honor to serve you again master.” She said her rehearsed line as she massaged the fresh bruise his earlier punch had left on her slender arm.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000
Sesshoumaru suddenly jolted awake. He looked down at Kagura, and was relieved to see she was still soundly sleeping, her head placed on his shoulder, and her body tangled with his. Hoping not to wake her up, he raised his head from his pillow, and looked inside their dark hotel room. Noticing that nothing was amiss, he could not help but scoff at his own foolishness.
He could not tell what had happened to make him feel suddenly uneasy to the point of waking him up, and despite how silly he knew he was for feeling this way, he could not help but worry. Just as it had been doing recently, he felt a sense of impending doom spread through him.
‘There is no need to be worried. Nothing is wrong.’ He tried reassuring himself, hoping to make his racing heart beat go down.
He silently watched over the sleeping form of his lover, who was snuggled next to his body. He gently ran his clawed hand down the column of her neck, reveling in her soft skin. He still had a hard time believing how he, Sesshoumaru, the dog demon who a little less than a year ago could not even stand the idea of going out and socializing, had changed so much. He now not only spent time with his family, but actually enjoyed it.
‘I have changed so much in so little time, and it is all because of the witch.’ He mused to himself even as he leaned forward to press a gentle kiss to her temple causing the wind sorceress to moan appreciatively in her sleep, and he to chuckle.
In fact he was now to be a husband, and a father to two young girls, something he had never even thought would happen to him. Of course he knew that at some point it would be expected of him to get married and beget children, but he had never imagined it would not only happen to him this quickly, or that he would actually enjoy it this much.
Even as he laid there, his fiancée’s body lying next to him, he could not help but experience once again a feeling of foreboding. He had originally thought that his unease had been because of Sousuke Yamashita’s attack, but even now that the snake demon was behind bars, and for a long time, he still felt a feeling of dread run down his spine; the impression that something horrible was going to befall his family.
Only thinking about it, the dog demon could feel a migraine coming, but because he had Kagura so close to his body, he knew that the action of him moving would surely awake her; something he wanted to avoid. He therefore simply lay back against the pillows of his bed, and simply snaked his arm around her waist, causing her to slide even closer to his form.
‘Whatever happens, I will protect my family.’ He thought to himself, ignoring the pain pounding in his head, and hugging his Kagura closer to his body.

“Talking”
‘Thoughts’ ;
The wind sorceress inserted her key inside the lock before turning and letting a sigh of relief. She had just gotten home from class, and could not wait to kiss her daughter before putting her to bed, and have a late dinner with Sesshoumaru before they slipped into bed. As unexciting as what she was looking for might sound, it had become a routine she had gotten used to, and could not wait to do.
“I’m home.” She yelled as she entered the penthouse. She eagerly put her purse and coat away before slipping out of her shoes, and walking towards the guest bedroom to check on her daughter. She was surprised to find the room empty.
“Are you guys playing hide and seek?” She asked as she walked back through the corridor wondering where her fiancé and daughter could be. She knew they were home as the lights had been on when she had entered the penthouse.
“I am here.” She heard a deep voice say behind her, causing her to be startled.
“Oh God! Sesshoumaru don’t pop up behind me like that. You scared the hell out of me.” She let out a relieved sigh even as she felt a little silly for being spooked. “Where’s Kanna? I wanted to kiss her goodnight, but she wasn’t in her crib.”
She was surprised when she saw a small smile spread on his lips. “Let’s just say she is having a small impromptu sleepover at Inuyasha’s house.”
“Not that I mind, but I wished you would have told me before sending her off. Oh well she’ll have fun… In the meantime it seems like it’s going to be just you and me tonight.”
Sesshoumaru’s golden eyes followed her as she walked towards the master bedroom, and he once again smiled as he internally gloated over the plan he had hatched.
Kagura was slightly surprised by the unusual way Sesshoumaru was acting, but did not think much of it. Even though it was not his habit not to tell her the whereabouts of Kanna beforehand, she was sure it was due to a fact out of his control.
‘Knowing Inuyasha, he probably promised Shippou a sleepover then forgot to call us in advance to schedule it…’
She was so busy thinking about the dog demon that it took her a moment to notice the beautiful red dress draped over their bed. A look of surprise on her face, she took it in her arms for a closer look.
“What is the meaning of this?” She turned around to face Sesshoumaru who had just walked inside the room.
“I would like you to get changed, we are going out…” He interrupted himself to look at his watch. “In thirty minutes. Therefore unless you wish to be late, you should start getting ready now.”
Then as she noticed that Sesshoumaru had also placed what seemed to be a new tuxedo on the bed she asked him “Where exactly are we going?”
“I am surprised that you seem willing to go this quickly. I had anticipated your refusal.”
“I did not say I was going.” She retorted, placing the beautiful satin gown back on the comforter before resuming speaking. “My finals are soon, so I need to study. Plus I’m really tired, and I truly only want to go to bed right now.”
“And miss the surprise I have planned, I think not. Collect the dress, and put it on otherwise I will leave without you in 28 minutes.” The dog demon had barely finished speaking that he headed towards the bed, and started getting ready.
She silently yet curiously watched him as he first undressed then slipped on his new garment.
‘He is such an infuriating man!’ She thought to herself even as Sesshoumaru’s mysterious plan had her curiosity picked. No matter how much she wanted to resist him, she knew that in the end she would give in.
“Fine fine. I will put the dress, and follow you wherever. But don’t expect me to do my hair, makeup or whatever…” The wind sorceress sighed, and wasted no time taking off her sweater then pair of jeans.
As much as she wanted to pretend not to care much about her appearance, despite the lack of time Sesshoumaru had given her before leaving, she did take the time to not only brush her hair up in a ponytail, but also apply some light make up.
It had not taken him long for him to put on his shirt, vest, jacket and shoes, so he used the remainder of his time to look at Kagura rushing around to get ready, mild amusement clear in his gaze.
Her acceptance caused a tiny satisfied smile to spread on his lips. He knew her well enough to anticipate that she would have caved in the end, but seeing her comply despite her earlier reluctance was a source of amusement.
“You have five minutes left wind witch, if I were you, I would hurry.” He informed her.
Instead of voicing her annoyance, the wind sorceress simply looked away from the mirror in which she was looking at herself while applying her trademark red lipstick, to send Sesshoumaru a fierce glare. Her reaction made him smile again.
As soon as she finished applying her makeup, the wind sorceress reached inside the closet to fish out a pair of heeled shoes. She did not know where they were going, which only made her choice even harder. However seeing how the dog demon had made the effort to buy her a new dress, she was sure he would take her somewhere in public. This meant that she would make sure to do him proud, and look as nicely as possible.
‘I really have no idea what shoes to put on right now…’
Instead of continuing to rummage aimlessly through her shoes, she decided to ask him for a little bit of help. Kagura paused in her search, and sat back on her haunches, turning her head to the side to look at her lover. “So where exactly are we going? If I knew it would help me decide which shoes to wear…”
“Hum just try to look your best…” He first said, but then realizing that his words would probably not be much help, he then added “Simply wear something to go with the dress.”
The wind sorceress did not answer, and instead scoffed before muttering under her breath about idiotic dog demons.
“Next time you want to buy me a dress think about the shoes I have. I guess shoes are a detail often looked over by you men... I mean, I don’t really have any shoes that will fit this gown.” Even though her words came out muffled due to her being on her knees, and having her head buried inside the closet, he still heard her clearly.
“I had thought about shoes, but figured that you would already be upset enough about getting a new dress, and did not want to make things worse by adding shoes on the bill. Although I must admit that you have indeed been extremely accommodating tonight, to this Sesshoumaru’s surprise.” His golden eyes watched the wind sorceress as she crawled out from the closet.
“You make me sound like a two year old throwing a tantrum! I’m not that bad. Besides things are different know. At first I was uncomfortable about owing you for buying me all that stuff, but now I’m not that unsecure about our relationship.” She said as she sat on the bed, and put on the black heeled pumps she had settled her mind on. They may not exactly fit with the dress she was wearing, but they would have to do, she decided.
The dog demon did not speak a word. He was still surprised by Kagura’s earlier admission. He knew first hand that because of her past, she had had a lot of issues about accepting gifts, or having people, especially men, spend money on her. However hearing her admit that she no longer felt the need to reject anything he would buy her made him feel special, and made him truly realize how much she trusted and loved him.
“Your time is up. If you do not find yourself in my car in the next thirty seconds, I will drive away without you.” Without waiting for her answer, he quickly left the room, and headed towards the door of the penthouse.
“You’re such a jerk!” She exclaimed even as she sat up from the bed, and followed after the dog demon. She had thought that Sesshoumaru was already on his way to the elevator therefore it came to a total surprise to her when she bumped into his broad back. She had been running, aiming to catch up to him, and had not anticipated for him to be waiting for her.
“Are you alright?” He asked turning around to look down at the woman who had just literally run into him.
“Yeah I’m fine. I’m sorry, I thought you had left me behind.” She said, gently caressing her poor nose, which had gotten bruised when she had bumped head first into the dog demon’s strong back.
“I would never leave you behind.” He assured her. He then reached for her, and removed her hand from her nose to look at it. She was slightly surprised when the leaned forward to press a kiss to the top of the offended organ. Before she had had the time to react, he had already turned around and walked away.
“Now hurry unless you want to be left behind wind witch.” He said before opening the front door of the penthouse.
“Didn’t you just say you would wait?! Ugh you’re so annoying sometimes!” She cursed under her breath even as she rushed to fall into step with him. Her previous reluctance to go with him was now all gone, and had been replaced by a burning curiosity to know what he had in store for her.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000
The wind sorceress allowed her crimson eyes to look around the long corridor she and Sesshoumaru were walking through. The moment he had handed the keys of his car to the valet of the Imperial Hotel, she had been surprised. She knew that the restaurant of the hotel was very famous, and was looking forward to having a fancy dinner. However her anticipation at the idea of a nice meal was crushed when Sesshoumaru had walked straight to one of the elevators, which had taken the two of them to the top floor of the hotel. As far as she knew the top floor was only comprised of hotel suites, which did not fit into the idea she had of what Sesshoumaru had planned for the evening.
“I thought we were going to dinner? There was no need to drag me all the way to a hotel for that.” She said casually, hoping to get him to reveal his plan.
“Do not ask question, and keep walking, we will be there in a second.” He did not even bother to turn around to look at her when he spoke these words.
Just as she was about to berate him, he stopped in front of a set of wide double doors.
“Here we are.” He fished out his wallet, and retrieved a key card from it. He then used it to unlock the doors, and stepped inside, turning on lights as he went on.
“What was so special that you had to… oh!” As she walked inside the hotel suite, she completely forgot what she was about to say. Her crimson eyes travelled all around the room, shinning in amazement.
On the plush white carpet were scattered red rose petals, and pink paper flowers. Small colored tea lights were leading the way towards a beautifully set dinner table.
“Did you do all this?” She asked, still under shock.
“Kanna and Rin made some of the paper flowers, they wanted to do something nice for you. When it comes to the rest of the decorations, I enlisted the help of Kiriko, and she seems to have gone a little over board…” He commented dryly, a frown on his face even as he pushed away a pink paper flower with the tip of his shoe.
His words brought tear of joy to her eyes. It explained better what their two little girls had been working on the previous evening. While Kagura had been studying for her coming finals in the living room with the help of her fiancé, Kanna and Rin had hid in the guest bedroom of the penthouse. She had guessed the two children were doing some sort of arts and crafts because on several occasions Sesshoumaru had interrupted their studying session to provide the two children with a steady supply of colored paper, glue and other materials. Their mother had inferred they had been doing some sort of collage, but she now saw how wrong she had been. The idea of Sesshoumaru relying on their two daughters and his secretary in order to surprise her really moved the wind sorceress. She knew better than anyone how much Sesshoumaru liked doing things by himself.
“Personally I think it’s adorable. I’m surprised you went through all this trouble.” She walked forward to look at the entire room. She could not prevent a laugh from escaping her throat when she noticed that Kiriko had seemed to indeed take things a bit too far. In fact the small dining table which had been set up for two was completely covered with colored ribbons, which even hid the utensils and flower arrangement.
“I believe we deserved a break.” He reached over her to remove some of the red ribbons placed on the table, and threw them on the spotless carpet. His action uncovered the plates, which were hidden under small metal food covers.
“Sesshoumaru I really appreciate the effort, thank you.” She turned around to quickly press an unexpected kiss to his lips before addressing him again. “I am really starving though.”
“Good, why don’t we eat?” He barely finished talking that he reached for one of the two chairs, and invited Kagura to sit on it. He then rounded the small table, and sat across from her.
“Hum I can’t wait to find out what’s for dinner.” She smiled at him before removing the cover from her plate. Her mouth turned into a small ‘o’ of surprise when she saw that unlike what she had expected, her plate was composed of small bite sized desserts. Her mouth watered as she ogled the fruits tarts, cakes and even a tin of chocolate mousse.
“Dessert for dinner?” She asked him, an eyebrow raised in surprise, and a mischievous grin dancing on her lips.
“You have no reason to worry about setting a bad example. Kanna and Rin will not know.” He smiled back at her as he too uncovered his own plate, which unlike hers comprised of a rare steak accompanied by mixed greens. She was not surprised to see that he would be eating something different. After all she knew too well that her fiancé did not share her sweet tooth.
“Hum it all feels so decadent.” She immediately picked up her spoon, and grabbed a first sweet confection, eager to dig in.
‘Good everything has gone on perfectly so far.’ He smiled to himself, his golden eyes following her as she dived into the chocolate mousse with gusto.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000
“Ugh I am as stuffed as a pig. I shouldn’t have eaten all my food plus your dessert. It’s just that seeing all this uneaten food annoyed me.” Kagura murmured as she burrowed her face against her lover’s side. The two of them were seating on a loveseat, cuddling close.
“You have no need to make up an excuse… I have long ago realized you have quite the... strong and healthy appetite.” He gently teased her.
“Ha ha that was so not funny.” She retorted before giving him a light punch in the ribs.
“The truth often is not.” He assured her before hooking a finger under her chin, effectively raising her lips to a height fit for his taking.
She chuckled against his lips before responding to his kiss hungrily. Kagura opened her mouth, and welcomed his invasion more than happily. The tongues of the two demons gently tangled as their kiss deepened. Even as their lips met, he allowed his hands to trail over her sides, gently going up to graze the underside of her cleavage.
“I want you.” He growled when they finally broke apart for much needed air. He gently pressed kisses on her lips then travelled down to her neck. In an effortless gesture he took down her hair from the ponytail she had tied it into, and ran his claws through her long curly dark tresses.
“Me too.” She breathed out. There was nothing she wanted more right now than to make love with Sesshoumaru.
As soon as he heard her words, he wasted no time standing up from the loveseat, and scooping her in his arms before quickly heading towards the large bedroom of their hotel luxury suite. He did not even waste time turning on the main lights, and simply walked inside the dark room before gently putting Kagura on the soft bed. The small lamp located on the side table would provide him with all the light he would need.
The dog demon immediately started working on getting himself undressed. He firstly slipped off his jacket and carelessly threw it away in one of the dark corners of the room. He then unbuttoned his vest and flung it aside as well. The wind sorceress would have helped him along, but decided to sit back and simply enjoy the show. She observed him with anticipation, a warm flush on her cheeks. She took in a deep breath when her lover took off his shirt, revealing his flawless pale skin. However it was when he took off his expensive trousers and boxers that her heart started beating faster.
His naked form joined her on the bed, and he pressed her clothed body as close to his as possible.
“I think that the only reason you bought me this dress was so that you could take if off me, so I’ll let you do the honors.” She smiled up at him.
“How considerate my love.” He responded before doing as instructed. He wasted no time starting working on getting her equally naked. He took his time revealing her skin to his eager eyes. He firstly removed the red cool material from her shoulder before pressing a kiss to her smooth skin.
He quickly undid the side zipper of her bright red dress revealing her almost naked body. At that moment he was glad that the dress he had chosen did not allow for her to wear a bra unless it was strapless, and since the dog demon had rushed her, she had decided to forgo wearing a bra altogether, for which he was grateful. When he removed the sleek red garment, he was only greeted by creamy naked skin, and a small pair of black panties, which he wasted no time throwing away on the growing pile of clothes at the foot of their bed.
“Come over here.” She instructed him before taking a hold of a strand of his long silver hair, and bringing his head closer to hers. Sesshoumaru moved his body over hers, and pressed a kiss to her lips as she wanted. To her annoyance before she could deepen their kiss, he moved his lips away, having them travel down her face, then her neck, and finally rest on her breast.
She moaned appreciatively when Sesshoumaru suckled hard on her nipple, but then let out a small cry when he gently nibbled it. He then went on to press kisses down her stomach, and she knew exactly what he was going to do, and her response was to start squirming in anticipation.
Just as she expected, Sesshoumaru continued his kisses downwards to the top of her thighs. He then moved in between her legs, and pressed an open mouth kiss to her womanhood. She shivered in pleasure when he ran his tongue over the bundle of nerves hidden, and gasped loudly when he inserted two long fingers inside of her, mimicking an action he would be making with another part of his body shortly.
She bit her bottom lip, in fear of letting out a loud cream. The last thing she wanted was for the people in the room next to them to hear their lovemaking; unlike in their penthouse she was not sure how soundproof the walls were. She arched her hips in pure pleasure before grabbing a nearby pillow, and crushing it to her breasts, causing it to muffle her passionate cries.
The dog demon growled lowly in his throat then paused in his ministrations, and removed his head from between her spread legs.
“Oh no! Please don’t stop!” She cried out. Instead of answering his lover, he reached up to yank the pillow from her grasp, and threw it off the bed.
“I want to hear every single moan and cry of pleasure you let out.” He let her know before diving back, and working her even more aggressively. Even while he was talking he had not stopped caressing her with his fingers; therefore, when he had his tongue join in again, it did not take Kagura long to reach her peak.
He chuckled slightly when he felt her shudder against him. There was nothing he liked more than providing her with pleasure. He came to his knees in front of her ready to take things one step further.
She looked up at him through half closed eyes while doing her best to regain her breath after her amazing climax.
“Hum I don’t think I’ll be able to move for a little while longer…” She informed him breathlessly. As much as she wanted to reach for him, and return the pleasure he had just brought upon her, she knew she did not have the necessary strength just yet.
He responded by smiling before laying his body over hers, resting in between her legs.
“Not to worry, I will do the moving for you.” He murmured in her ear just as he slowly sheathed himself inside her.
Sesshoumaru paused once her surged into her. He took his time to enjoy their connection then as he had promised earlier he did not wait for her to start thrusting in her willing body. The dog demon gently used his right hand to caress the skin of her left leg before raising the limb slightly, and hooking it over his own leg to enable him to move deeper.
He slowly made one deep thrust, gently rolling his hips. Even as his instincts screamed at him to increase his speed, he took his time; he wanted to make sure Kagura would enjoy their encounter as much as he did.
Before the wind sorceress, it had never occurred to him to work so hard to ensure that the woman he was with would feel pleasure. Previously he had not been emotionally attached enough to his partners to care much about their experience of their coupling. Whether he had known the women for a long time, such as Touran, or had just met them at a bar, it was all the same to him. Of course as his pride commanded, he would always make sure the women he was with enjoyed themselves to a minimum. In fact nothing boosted his ego more than having a woman in the throes of passion scream his name. However things were very different with Kagura; he was actually more concerned with her pleasure than with his own.
“Hum Sesshoumaru.” Her gentle moan against his ear caused a shiver of pleasure to run down his spine, and encouraged him to move faster. To ensure that she was going to reach bliss before he did, he trailed his clawed hand down to reach for the small pearl hidden in the folds of her womanhood. He gently rubbed it using his fingers, the same way he had done earlier with his tongue.
The wind sorceress arched her back, and cried out in pleasure when she climaxed again. She clung to his body tighter, wanting in her pleasure haze to be as close to him as possible. Sesshoumaru closed his eyes, and kept himself back. He steeled himself against his release, gritting his teeth with the effort. In order for his plan to work just as he wanted, he needed to have her be pleasurably exhausted, and to do so he wanted to make love to her some more. In order to fulfill his goal, he reluctantly slipped out of her body.
Sesshoumaru flipped her over, and she slowly rose up to her knees, presenting herself to him. Ever since he had finally accepted his youkai side, it was not uncommon for him to take her in this position, and she was always more than willing to comply.
Without any delay he entered her body again, and resumed his thrusting. She was so overly sensitive due to their previous activities that to her own shock she climaxed again in no time. This time no matter how much Sesshoumaru wanted to hold back, he was not able to. As soon as Kagura shuddered against him, he grabbed her hips tightly, and came as well. As he let his control slip, he felt his claws scrap the side of her hips, but was still lucid enough to remember to loosen his hold on her lest he injure her. Even if due to their recent couplings he knew that she was strong and more than able to handle him he still did his best not to harm her in any way.
Just when he finished emptying his seed inside her willing body, the two of them fell on their side in a tangle of sweaty bodies and limbs.
“I don’t know what got into you…but damn that was amazing” She panted. “I am so exhausted though.” She sighed even as she crawled up the bed to rest her head against his chest.
“Then why don’t you sleep for now? I will wake you up in a little bit.” He assured her before pressing a kiss to her temple.
“A little bit?” She echoed before letting out a mocking snort. “Are you sure you will be able to perform as desired?” She gently teased him.
“Since when do you doubt this Sesshoumaru?” He shot back. She chuckled slightly in response, but then could not muster the strength to continue their banter, and quickly fell asleep.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000
Unlike what she had expected, it was not Sesshoumaru’s gentle kisses that woke up Kagura, but a sharp pain in her finger. Due to the small light coming from the side table she was able to see none other than Sesshoumaru hunched over her hand.
“What are you doing?” She murmured voice heavy with sleep, and surprise clear in her voice. He only responded with a string of curses; something so unusual for him.
“Nothing, it will just take a second…” She cried out when he tugged on her finger. Despite his reassuring words, she did not hesitate to take her left hand away from him. She brought the limb closer to her crimson gaze, and was surprised to see a small silver band placed on her finger. The only problem with the piece of jewelry was that despite Sesshoumaru’s best efforts, it had not been able to go down her finger.
“Is that what I think it is?” She asked incredulous, her widened eyes rived on the band placed on her ring finger. The look of guilt and discomfort present on Sesshoumaru’s face told her everything she wanted to know.
“You were supposed to wake up, and find it on your finger. Unfortunately it seems I may have miscalculated…” He admitted. While Kagura was still sleeping, he had attempted to secretly slip the ring Izayoi had given him, Tenseiga, on his fiancée’s finger. Unfortunately unlike what he had imagined, he had not been able to put the ring on Kagura’s finger. And when he realized that the ring was not fitted for her size, he had tried taking it off, which had not worked either.
“This is the first and last time this Sesshoumaru will do anything this romantic.” He swore. The way he spit out the last word let Kagura know exactly how vexed he was that his plan had not worked out.
“I sure hope not. A woman does need to be romanced by her husband once in a while. Where did you get that ring? It’s beautiful… even though it’s stuck on my finger.” She momentarily ignored the throbbing of pain present in her finger to smile at her lover. It was unusual for him to show his affection in such romantic ways, and the last thing she wanted was to make him feel uncomfortable. She of course was more than aware of the depth of his feelings for her, but seeing him show it through a gesture or action was always a major plus.
“It is a family heirloom; women of my family have been wearing it for over 500 years. Izayoi just handed it to me, so do not even think of refusing the ring.” He could tell that Kagura was glad about his gift, but wanted to make sure she would keep it. Knowing her, he was never really sure how she would react.
“I wasn’t planning on doing that. It’s truly beautiful, and it will be an honor to wear it. However I need to take it off right now, or I have a feeling blood will stop circulating in my finger for good.” Even as she finished speaking, the wind sorceress started carefully tugging the ring. However despite her efforts it would still not budge.
“How did you stick the damn thing on the middle of my finger?” She asked him thinking ‘Knowing his stubborn streak, I am sure that when he noticed that the ring had trouble going down my finger, he simply obstinate himself, and forced the damn thing on.’
Sesshoumaru, who prided himself on doing everything well was upset to have botched his proposal, he therefore decided that the least he could do was to help his wife to be remove the ring he had slipped on her finger earlier. Therefore a scowl still present on his face he took her hand, and tried getting the band off himself. Kagura’s sudden cry of pain made him stop his efforts.
“Are you trying to tear off my finger?” She said trying to take her hand away from his hold.
“I will have it off in a second.” He retorted, ignoring her efforts to tug her hand away from him.
“Stay away from me! She jumped off the bed, heedless of her nakedness, and headed to the bathroom. “There must be some lotion or soap in here that I can use to get that thing off.” She simply told him as means of explanation.
He was about to go help her when she let out a cry of triumph. He was not surprised when she strode back inside the room with a bright smile on her lips, and the small silver ring cradled in the palm of her hand.
“See all it needed was a bit of lubricant, not brute strength! My ring finger’s a little bruised, but I don’t think it was hurt too badly. I should be fine come morning... Let’s just be grateful for complimentary soap in hotel bathrooms.”
“I am sorry.” He quickly apologized.
“Don’t worry, I’ll survive. Although it’s really a pity I can’t wear this ring, I really do like it.” She looked at the object wistfully.
“Do not worry about it; I will have Toutousai enlarge it. I should have anticipated such a thing occurring. After all Izayoi is much thinner than you are.” He said baffled that the difference in size in the two women had not in his mind been considered as an important factor.
She decided to let the comment about her difference in weight with his step mother slide, only because earlier in the night Sesshoumaru had proven more than enough time how much he loved her body just the way it was. Moreover she was much more interested in something else he had said.
“Toutousai?!” She gasped. “As in the senile old man who is the manager of our building? You mean to tell me he’s a master youkai blacksmith?”
“As incredible as it may sound, it is true. He has crafted many swords and other youkai artifacts for my father.”
“Wow. Well he is quite handy with a wrench... I mean he did manage to fix the dish washer extremely quickly.” She reflected, remembering when she had just met the dog demon, and had enlisted Toutousai’s help to bring back Sesshoumaru’s penthouse in good working order.
“He also knows how to obtain rare youkai materials, so I am sure he will be able to have your ring ready in no time.” He took back the piece of jewelry, and placed it back in the velvet box he had purchased for it before putting in down on the side table.
“Even though you know how material stuff don’t really matter much to me, I must admit I am glad about getting an engagement ring… it just makes this whole marriage thing even more real…”
“Did you doubt my word?” He asked clearly hurt. It almost occurred to him to remind her how she had rolled her eyes, and scoffed at him when only a few days ago he had once again asked her to sign the papers his lawyer Myouga had prepared in order to make Kagura, Kanna and Rin his heirs. Of course the dog demon did not wish to tell his fiancée about his irrational fear about something bad happening. Despite his quiet insistence Kagura had refused to even look at the papers, and in exchange Sesshoumaru had therefore decided to put things in the works for their wedding.
“No! Of course not.” She told him before cradling his face in her hands, and pressing a small kiss to his lips. “I love you so much, and I know you feel the same.”
“As long as you remember it.” He told her before reciprocating her earlier kiss with one of his own, destined to her forehead. “Now let us go back to bed; I promised Kanna that we would pick her up early to go get breakfast. She was quite disappointed to miss the whole proposal…”
“She knew about your plan all along?! I can’t believe she managed to keep this whole thing a secret from me.” Kagura pouted. She was glad to see that Sesshoumaru and Kanna got along well, but it was still a shock to her to see how close they had truly become.
“She is turning into a real daddy’s girl.” He said proudly.
“Hum wait until we have a boy, he will be on my team.” She joked, a smile tugging at her lips.
“This Sesshoumaru doubts such a thing would occur, but you are free to try Mrs. Takahashi to be.” He chuckled before turning off the side lamp and settling back under the covers of the bed. Kagura eagerly following his example.
‘Mrs. Kagura Takahashi. Sure beats that crappy name of Onigumo…’ She thought as he allowed her lover to cradle her closer to his body in his strong arms.

The spider hanyou looked down at the woman seating on the bed next to him. She was removing her dress, getting ready to bear her body for his pleasure. However the expression on her face was more similar to one seen on a prisoner’s face as he was led to the gallows.
Although the hanyou usually thrived on seeing other people’s pain and suffering, the terror present on the young woman’s face was not enough to arouse him. Ever since he had lost most of his businesses, and that almost of all his partners had ended in either jail, or had fled the country, he was finding it difficult to find pleasure.
“Enough you useless woman. You even fail to arouse me.” He spat at her angrily before giving her a sharp punch, causing her to bounce of the bed, and fall ungracefully to the ground.
“I am sorry, please forgive me master.” The young woman sobbed in fear. Even if the dark half demon’s brothel had officially closed its doors, he still had managed to keep some of his girls due to blackmail, and the young beauty kneeling at his feet, prostrated in fear, was one of the poor unfortunate women. She nervously tucked a strand of pale blond hair behind her ear, and an idea suddenly struck the half demon.
“Mayumi, I have a job for you.”
“Really master Naraku?” She tried feigning eagerness, but failed miserably. The last thing she wanted was to have to sexually please another disgusting old man. However she was willing to do anything to make Naraku happy, and prevent him from delivering blows on her. Or worse hurt her elderly mother who was her only living relative.
“Do not look so displeased, it will involve acting and a little field trip, I am sure you will love it.” Even as he spoke the words, Naraku could see the final pieces of his plan coming together.
“It will be an honor to serve you again master.” She said her rehearsed line as she massaged the fresh bruise his earlier punch had left on her slender arm.

Sesshoumaru suddenly jolted awake. He looked down at Kagura, and was relieved to see she was still soundly sleeping, her head placed on his shoulder, and her body tangled with his. Hoping not to wake her up, he raised his head from his pillow, and looked inside their dark hotel room. Noticing that nothing was amiss, he could not help but scoff at his own foolishness.
He could not tell what had happened to make him feel suddenly uneasy to the point of waking him up, and despite how silly he knew he was for feeling this way, he could not help but worry. Just as it had been doing recently, he felt a sense of impending doom spread through him.
‘There is no need to be worried. Nothing is wrong.’ He tried reassuring himself, hoping to make his racing heart beat go down.
He silently watched over the sleeping form of his lover, who was snuggled next to his body. He gently ran his clawed hand down the column of her neck, reveling in her soft skin. He still had a hard time believing how he, Sesshoumaru, the dog demon who a little less than a year ago could not even stand the idea of going out and socializing, had changed so much. He now not only spent time with his family, but actually enjoyed it.
‘I have changed so much in so little time, and it is all because of the witch.’ He mused to himself even as he leaned forward to press a gentle kiss to her temple causing the wind sorceress to moan appreciatively in her sleep, and he to chuckle.
In fact he was now to be a husband, and a father to two young girls, something he had never even thought would happen to him. Of course he knew that at some point it would be expected of him to get married and beget children, but he had never imagined it would not only happen to him this quickly, or that he would actually enjoy it this much.
Even as he laid there, his fiancée’s body lying next to him, he could not help but experience once again a feeling of foreboding. He had originally thought that his unease had been because of Sousuke Yamashita’s attack, but even now that the snake demon was behind bars, and for a long time, he still felt a feeling of dread run down his spine; the impression that something horrible was going to befall his family.
Only thinking about it, the dog demon could feel a migraine coming, but because he had Kagura so close to his body, he knew that the action of him moving would surely awake her; something he wanted to avoid. He therefore simply lay back against the pillows of his bed, and simply snaked his arm around her waist, causing her to slide even closer to his form.
‘Whatever happens, I will protect my family.’ He thought to himself, ignoring the pain pounding in his head, and hugging his Kagura closer to his body.
