“Talking”

`Thoughts'

 

 

“Ah Rin feels so much better after taking a long shower!” She exclaimed happily as she walked into the living room of her father's house. After settling down on the sofa, she pulled her long hair back into its usual pigtails.

 

“Even if the train was comfortable, it was so tiring. What are we getting for dinner? Rin is starving!”

 

`Strangely she only refers to herself in the third person when around her father…' Kagura thought to herself rolling her eyes in annoyance. “Well in honor of you joining us in our home, I cooked dinner.” She added aloud as she sat up from the armchair she had been seated on, cuddling with her boyfriend.

 

“You cooked?” Rin arched an eyebrow in surprise.

 

`What? Does that earn me special points with her?' Kagura thought unnerved. Rin's earlier comments at the train station were still vivid in her mind. “Yes. I made Sesshoumaru's favorite dish…”

 

“Steak?” Rin volunteered.

 

“…No. Pot roast with garden vegetables.” Kagura corrected shooting her boyfriend a surprised look.

 

“I like both.” Sesshoumaru explained not willing for an argument to start. At Kagura's dubious look, he added “No, really I do.”

 

“Whatever, let's just go eat.” Kagura huffed as she walked to the set dinner table.

 

“Ah it smells so good. Thanks for the meal.” Rin said enthusiastically as she sat at the table before generously filling her plate.

 

`Hum maybe that kid isn't that bad…' Kagura mused as with a smile on her lips she accepted the full plate Sesshoumaru extended to her. Despite herself she was weak to any forms of flattery. Her smile did turn sour when she looked at the food her boyfriend had placed in front of her. He grinned knowing she would be mad at him for once more only allowing her to eat a bowl of soup for dinner. With a huff Kagura gave a glance full of desire to her pot roast. Noticing her new found interest, Sesshoumaru shook his head, causing the aggravation of the wind sorceress grow tenfold.

 

Oblivious to the silent argument between the two adults, Rin frowned when she observed the food she had just served herself. “Kagura did you put celery in your dish? Oh no, Rin can't eat it then. I am very allergic.” The teenage girl said unceremoniously pushing her plate away from her, a small grin on her lips.

 

“You are?” Kagura asked unable to prevent a note of skepticism from appearing in her voice. `Since when?'

 

“I am sorry Rin, I thought your allergy was mild enough that I did not warn Kagura about it.” The dog demon said sending both Kagura and Rin an apologetic look.

 

“Oh before it only gave Rin some red blotches, but now it gives me a very very big stomach ache.” She explained. “Maybe we should order a pizza instead.” She added sending Kagura a small smile, innocently batting her eyelashes.

 

“I bet you won't be interested in my chocolate cake either…” Kagura scoffed already anticipating a negative answer.

 

“Hum probably since Rin hates chocolate, just like daddy; must be our dog demon blood.” Rin shrugged sending Kagura a toothy grin.

 

“You hate chocolate cake? I thought you loved it. You never complained about my cakes before….” Kagura frowned. She hated the feeling that Sesshoumaru might have been hiding his true feelings from her. `It's not like I can't take criticism…'

 

“I am not really one for chocolate…” He admitted, then noticing Kagura's glare he quickly stood up from the table, and headed to the living room to order a pizza. `Seeing the look on her face, she is about to explode in one of her fits…'

 

“Hum such a pity to see how much you worked on that dinner…” Rin trailed off as she picked up a large piece of celery from her plate and heartily bit into it, then licking her fingers greedily. “Hum delicious, you're quite a good cook, too bad your efforts went to waste.” Sending the wind sorceress a victorious grin she sat up and called over to her father, who was now in the living room “Daddy can we get an extra large pizza; Rin is really starving, and Kagura's dinner is useless.”

 

Kagura stayed in the dining room her squinted eyes furiously looking over her wasted dinner. `This kid is going to drive me crazy!' She thought to herself clenching her fists angrily. She picked up her napkin and threw it on the table, which now would not be used for the hearty meal she had put together with a lot of effort.

 

`I shouldn't let that brat get to me. Now is not the time to get angry. The doctor did warn against strong emotions…' The wind sorceress scolded herself resting a hand on her stomach. `But it doesn't mean I will take her crap lying down…'

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000

 

 

Lime alert!!!

 

 

“Are you mad at me?” Sesshoumaru asked his girlfriend as he slipped into his pajamas. The wind sorceress was already settled in bed, reading her novel, seemingly not paying attention to her boyfriend. `Could Kagura carry a grudge because I failed to tell her about my real preferences when it comes to food?' He wondered with a frown.

 

“You are not going to speak to me?” He questioned, trying to press her for some type of reaction

 

`No I am too busy plotting your daughter's demise…' Kagura scoffed at the ridiculous nature of her own thoughts. As much as she was angry at the little girl, she knew she would never harm her. `Not that the thought hasn't crossed my mind.'

 

He slipped in bed, and waited for Kagura to let him embrace her as was their habit. He frowned when she did not move from her side of the bed, and actually turned on her side to look away from him. The dog demon sighed deeply at her reaction. He wanted his loving girlfriend back, and hated the idea of their first argument being about something this ridiculous.

 

“I am sorry for not telling you about Rin's allergy… or my own food preferences…” He said sure the latter was more upsetting to Kagura.

 

“Thanks for the apology. Well knowing you, you probably kept quiet for my benefit… Anyways the truth is that I'm not really mad about what you kept away from me, but rather… it's just that… let's just say that your daughter is more on a handful than I would have thought.” She chose her words carefully. `That's a euphemism to say she's a hateful, judgmental brat.' She then put her book away on her nightstand and turned towards Sesshoumaru.

 

“She is quite chatty indeed; a stark difference from me.” The dog demon said not able to prevent a note of pride and adoration from shinning through his voice.

 

`Good god who could have ever thought that kid could have the great Sesshoumaru wrapped around her little finger like that. He'd never believe me even if I told him about her rotten personality…I wonder why Rin didn't even give me the benefit of the doubt or anything. She immediately thought I was trying to use Sesshoumaru. Maybe if I tried to change her opinion of me we'd get along…' The wind sorceress thought, suddenly feeling like showing to the teenager her errors.

 

“You seem thoughtful. Is something the matter?” Sesshoumaru asked resting a comforting hand on his beloved's shoulder.

 

“No. All's great.” She lied, suddenly feeling weary. “It's been a long day that's all… Well if you want to make yourself useful, why don't you come up with a way to make me forget?”

 

“I could try…” He trailed off as he leaned to press a kiss to her sensitive neck.

 

“Oh no my love. Don't start something you have no intention of finishing…” She warned him, a moan escaping her throat as his lips worked over her skin.

 

“No worries. I have every intention of finishing. Disregarding the doctor's instructions for one night should not be very harmful, especially if we are careful.” He chuckled as he gently nibbled on her ear, mindful of her long jade earrings.

 

“In that case…” She retorted as she inversed their positions to straddle her beloved hips. A groan escaped his lips when she leaned forward to give him a deep kiss. The wind sorceress buried her hands in his long silver locks as she pressed her tongue into his mouth.

 

Sesshoumaru gently lowered the top of her night gown to reveal her breasts to his appreciative eyes. She sighed happily, and rocked her hips against his growing hardness when he cupped her twin peaks before gently suckling on one of her nipples. Just as Kagura was getting really heated by her boyfriend's ministrations, a loud knock on the door made the two demons freeze.

 

“What the?!” He asked aloud as he pushed Kagura away. She quickly scrambled to put her sleeping gown in place to hide her nudity. The surprise of the interruption immediately caused the tent in his pajamas bottoms to recede, and after checking that everything seemed in order Sesshoumaru spoke again, but this time loud enough for the person on the other side of the door to hear. “You can come in Rin.”

 

The teenager wasted no time to do so, dragging her pillow in her wake. “Rin in so sorry to disturb you, but I couldn't sleep. I had horrible nightmares. Can Rin sleep here? Just for tonight only. I promise!”

 

“Do you mind?” Sesshoumaru asked Kagura. The wind sorceress who was amazed by the way she managed to hide her seething anger responded on a dry cold tone “Of course not.” `Finally, I was finally going to get some action since that doctor's appointment two weeks ago, and that damn brat had to ruin it! It's as if she can read my mind and find out exactly how to make me suffer.'

 

Kagura's words were barely out of her mouth that Rin jumped on the bed, comfortably settling in between the two demons. She even took the time to give the wind sorceress a shove, making sure she had no physical contact with her boyfriend's skin.

 

“Rin has a feeling tonight is going to be a good night. A very good night, without any nightmares.” She beamed at her father before turning towards Kagura. “Do you mind turning your lamp off; it's bothering me.” When the wind sorceress complied the young demon smiled in the darkened bedroom before saying “Good night to both of you.”

 

The crimson eyes demoness turned to her side, presenting Rin her back. `Nightmares? What the hell kind of nonsense is that kid saying?! How old does she think she is? Gods! These two weeks might prove to be even harder than I originally thought…' She thought to herself, closing her eyes.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000

 

 

The next morning, Kagura opened her eyes wide in shock. She quickly ran over to the bathroom to empty her stomach due to the violent nausea she was feeling.

 

“What's wrong?” Rin asked the wind sorceress, who was hunched over the toilet. Kagura's movement in bed had awakened her.

 

“Do not worry about it Rin.” Sesshoumaru stepped in between the two girls to block Rin's view of Kagura. “Rin go get cleaned up before we start working on breakfast, I have to be at the office in an hour and a half.” Sesshoumaru stated after looking at his watch. Always eager to please her father she quickly complied, and left his bedroom.

 

“How are you doing? Are you okay?” The dog demon worriedly asked his girlfriend as he crouched next to her on the bathroom floor.

 

“Yeah. I'm done now.” She stated before flushing and cleaning herself up. She then turned and faced her boyfriend and smiled at him, aiming to reassure him she added “Besides it's not the first time this happened lately, no? Damn nausea… Anyways I think you should go get breakfast ready; I do have to fill my stomach now, no?”

 

With a nod Sesshoumaru leaned to press a kiss to her cheek before leaving the bathroom. Taking advantage of the absence of the two, Kagura walked back to her bedroom to reach for her cell phone.

 

`Time to get my plan in gear.'

 

“Inuyasha!” She growled as soon as her call was connected.

 

“Why in the hell are you calling me this damn early?” The half dog demon asked the woman he considered his sister in law.

 

“I want to cash in the favor you owe me.”

 

“Feh! What favor are you talking about?” He interrupted her.

 

“Let's see…” Kagura started a smirk on her lips. She then added mocking Inuyasha's voice “I really like your friend Kagome give me her number… and I did didn't I? Oh and when Kags begged for my advice since she was unsure about getting involved with you considering your creepy fixation on your ex Kikyou, did I not push her to date you?”

 

“Fine I get it. What do you want from me?” He grumbled.

 

“Rin.” Kagura sighed.

 

“What about her?” He wondered aloud.

 

“Well to put it simply, the brat is driving me crazy. She blatantly told me she aimed to break me and Sesshoumaru apart.”

 

“Oh yeah she likes doing that. She's just very close to her dad, and extremely protective of him…. Not to mention that Sesshoumaru is crazy about her. She can make him do anything she wants. The day she was born is actually the only time I saw him cry…”

 

“Yeah I figured this part by myself. What I want to know is how to get her on my side. I've been trying to make her like me, which seems to me would be a better trade off than trying to get rid of her considering that she's Sesshoumaru's pride and joy…” Kagura explained her latest plan.

 

“Simple, buy her off.” Inuyasha shrugged surprised the wind sorceress had not thought of it by herself.

 

“What? I can't do that!” The wind sorceress protested. `I want the brat to like me for me.'

 

“Why not? If the kid's anything like her mother, that will do the trick. Touran was what you'd call a gold-digger. She let herself get pregnant when she and Sesshoumaru were in their sophomore year of college. Just when he was going to break up with the bitch, she told him she was pregnant, and of course Sessh decided to marry her. Not surprisingly they broke up when Rin was only five years old. It was even a miracle he managed to stand her that long…”

 

Inuyasha did not prevent the hatred he had for Touran from showing in his voice. “Anyways if you want Rin to like you, take her shopping; that would work with Touran, and I'm sure for Rin as well. Anyways Rin's a spoiled brat, and Sesshoumaru is not helping matter by being so damn oblivious to all she does…”

 

“I damn agree with that!” The wind sorceress scoffed remembering how Rin could easily play her father. “I see… oh well thanks for your help. I'll think about your suggestion. In any case say hi to Kagome for me…” Kagura grinned.

 

“Keh! How the hell did you know she is here?!” The hanyou exclaimed.

 

“I'm smart. Not to mention that you sound like you can't wait to get rid of me…”

 

“Yeah whatever.” Without another word the young half demon hung up his phone. Kagura let out a chuckle as she put down her cell phone and stood up from her bed to join her boyfriend and step daughter in the kitchen for breakfast.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000

 

 

“I'd love a hearty omelet filled bacon right now.” Kagura sighed dreamily, wondering when was the last time she got to wolf down junk food. `Sesshoumaru has been so much on my case lately that I haven't been able to…He won't let me even have coffee in the morning!'

 

“Kagura you know you should watch your diet due to your condition.” Sesshoumaru reprimanded her as he walked over to the kitchen to heat up some milk for his girlfriend.

 

`Hum I've heard dad speak of Kagura's condition several times… what could it be?' Rin wondered looking over to the scowling woman. “Well if I were you I'd watch my diet anyways. Wouldn't want to get bigger than you already are, no?” Rin chuckled shaking her head as she gave Kagura's form a long critical look, surveying her form from top to bottom, she had paid attention not to have her father's sensitive ears pick up on her derogatory and mocking words.

 

`Oh hell she did not just call me fat!' Kagura thought suddenly furious. “Listen up kiddo. I've put up with a lot of your crap so far because I truly love your father, but I've had enough just about now. `I hadn't said anything so far, but now I'm at my limit!' The wind sorceress thought temporarily forgetting about her plan to have Rin like her.

 

“And. So what are you going to do? Kick me out of my own father's house? Puh-leaze! Some of his past girlfriends have tried. They're all gone, but I'll always be there.' Rin chuckled, amber eyes lit in mischief. “One of them actually even suggested putting me in boarding school. As if my father would ever accept that…”

 

“As if I would ever accept what?” Sesshoumaru interrupted their conversation suddenly as he placed a cup of hot tea in front of his lover, hoping to help settle her stomach.

 

“Oh ah well...” Rin stammered, too shocked by his unexpected interruption. `Damn I hope he didn't hear what I just said…'

 

“Rin and I are going shopping while you stop by your office…” Kagura said deciding this would be the perfect opportunity to implement her plan.

 

“We are?!” The teenager gasped in shock, wondering about Kagura's reasoning behind her decision.

 

“Yes and we're going to have so much fun.” The wind sorceress forced a smile as she noticed with pleasure the warm loving light in her boyfriend's eyes, but what pleased her the most was the look of fury and disgust etched on Rin's face.

 

`Oh yes it is going to be so much fun…' The wind sorceress thought.

 

 

To be continued…

 

A/N: Wow that was long. I was having too much fun, so I couldn't stop writing :P Yes Rin is evil, but we have yet to see all she is capable of. The next part will be called Brighter skies? Will Kagura finally manage to get Rin on her side? I'll try to have the next part up tomorrow or on Thursday.
