The Takeuchi Mansion...
It was 9:30 PM and the gathering had wound down to 3 people... Well, 2 and a very sleepy young girl. Rin sat snuggled up against a smiling InuYasha, as he father sat in a chair next to them. Smiling as the scene before him played itself out, 'I could really get used to this.' Rin smiled happily as she continued to admire the globe. "Yasha?"
"Yes, Rin?"
"Thank you for the tempura was really good! And, for coming to my party!"
"Your must welcome, little one. Thank you for inviting me, I am having a very good time." Yasha kissed the sleepy girl on the forehead. She chuckled softly as she watched her stifle a rather large yawn.
Shaking his head, Sesshomaru got up and walked to the couch. Crouching down next to his daughter, "I think it's time to find your bed, sweet girl. Come on, say goodnight to Yasha." He ordered gently.
Rin frowned, "But, daddy I'm not ti--red!" He protest stalled by a large yawn. "And, you said I could stay up la--te!" Both adults grinned as the girl let loose yet another yawn.
"Now, that will do young lady," he pretended to scold. "I did let you stay up later than usual. But, now it's time for bed. Your practically asleep now." Bending down he picked her up and started for the stairs. "Say goodnight."
"But, daddy my doll and my globe!"
Yasha stood and picked up all of the presents and carried them over to them. "I'll carry these things for you, if you don't mind." Rin nodded and Sess sent her a relieved smile. Then all 3 started up the long staircase towards her bedroom. Once inside, Sesshomaru laid the half asleep girl on the pink satin coverlet of her queen size bed. Yasha, after putting her burden down on the little table in the room, walked up to him and whispered. "Where are her night clothes?" Sess pointed to a large white crest of drawers. She went and looked through them, returning with a pale yellow nightgown. She saw that Sess appeared to be having a little trouble with one of the buttons. "Here hold this and let me do that." Without a word Sess allow Inu to undress and redress his child. Yasha then undid the girl's hair and braid it into long braid, tying it with one of the ribbons. After that she tucked the girl underneath the covers, and kissed her cheek. "Happy birthday, Rin," she whispered. Then, Sess came up and kissed the girl as well, "goodnight, my girl."
They were about to leave when a soft sleepy voice stopped them. "Yasha?"
They turned in the doorway, "Yes, Rin?"
"Can I come visit you at your restaurant, sometimes?"
Yasha smiled, "Of course you can. You will be more than welcome!"
Rin smiled, then asked. "Yasha? Do you like it here?"
Yasha laughed softly while Sesshomaru almost choked on his breath. Sensing where this was going, Sess, put the breaks on his girl, "That's enough, my girl, go to sleep!"
"Yes, sir." Yawning again. "Goodnight daddy, goodnight Yasha"
"Good night, Rin" answered the 2 adults. Closing the door, Sess turned to Yasha. "I have a very nice French cognac in the bar. Would you care to join me?"
"Are you trying to get me drunk, sir?" Yasha laughed.
Giving her a devilish grin, Sesshomaru wiggled his brows taking her hand he said. "Maybe." They went downstairs softly laughing, unaware of the set of amused gold eyes watching them. 'Go for it son!' The man grinned as he quietly shut his door.
In the den, Sess closed the door to provide them some privacy. Sess went to the bar and opened the bottle, and poured 2 glasses. He walked back to the couch and handed 1 to Yasha, who smiled in thanks. They sat in sipping their drinks in compatible silence, watching the flames dancing in the fireplace. "Your very good with her. She's loves you a lot!" Said Yasha. "Divorce must be really hard on her."
Sess stared into the flames a moment longer. "No." He sighed. "Rin is taking the divorce in stride. In fact, she is taking it better than I am. It was living with Kagura, that was hard." He downed his drink and then went for a refill. Sitting the bottle down on the low table in front of them, her continued. "I- I let that woman have free reign here for far too long. I was used to her treatment of me, but- " Looking down at his glass in shame, he sighed "I... I turned a blind eye to what she was doing to Rin. It's inexcusable how I let that woman almost ruin that girl."
Yasha listened quietly, taking in all that he was saying. She reached over and touched his shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Sess?" When he looked over at her she continued. "Why did you marry someone like her? I mean. You could have had any woman in this world, why her?"
He knew that question would pop up, he did think it would this soon. *Sigh* 'He goes.' "I met Kagura at a very low point in my life. After my mother's death I became a different person. I became sullen and withdrawn. I would lock myself in my room for hours and stare at my pictures of her and read the books that she used to read to me. The only thing that gave me solace, was a single dried rose I had tucked in the page of my favorite book. It marked the beginning of my mother's favorite story. 'The Rose Hime' The rose was a gift from this pretty little girl I met in the hospital, the day my mother passed on." He smiled at the pretty blush that crossed her face at the memory of that rose. "As I grew older I grew more and more despondent. My world seemed to change. Everyone always seemed to want something from me. They all seemed to expect so much of me. I began to turn into myself. I even started to distrust my own father." No longer able to bear her soft touch, he stood and went to the window, staring at nothing. Yasha watched him closely. Damning herself for being so nosy, yet she could bring herself to stop him. She wanted to know, what happened to her silver prince. "It was my last year of college. I- I was on a holiday trip to Milan, with Miroku and another colleague of mine named Kenichi Tomahara. Ken was engaged to a fashion designer named Hitomi at the time. She gave him tickets to her runway show. I did not want to go, but they insisted. So, to shut them up I went. I was so bored by the whole event and I started to leave when I saw her. Kagura was very very beautiful. She had a captivating grace to her movements. She was enchanting. For a moment, she reminded me of-" He stopped abruptly, closing his eyes in pain and not wanting to go on.
Yasha, sensing his distress, went to him. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she pressed herself tight against him. Placing her cheek against his broad back, she offered him wordless comfort. Feeling the warmth of her body, Sess stretched his arms behind him and held her close to himself. "She reminded me of you," he continued. "The long dark hair, the soft skin, the sweetness in her smile. I was hooked. Everyone else could see her for what she really was, but not me. All I saw was the image she reminded me of. I saw the image of the girl I couldn't get out of my head! The girl I loved! I was just looking at her outside appearance, not the money grubbing witch she really was. She did her homework too. She knew just what it would take to get me. I was such a fool!"
"What happened? What did she do?"
"She tricked me into sleeping with her by spiking my drink, then she told me she was pregnant."
"And you fell for it?"
At her tone, Sess turned in her arms to face her. "She showed me a pregnancy test. She swore on her knees that it was mine. I was so shocked I could barely think straight. All I could she was the image of my girl, my rose hime. So, I did what I thought was the right thing to do. I married her." Closing his eyes against the hurt in hers he went on. "Later on I found out that it was all a lie. The test wasn't hers. She'd taken it from a friend of hers and show to me. By the time I learned the truth, she was really pregnant with Rin. I couldn't leave her then." Opening he eyes, he held Yasha tightly, willing her to understand. "Then Rin was born. She was so small and so prefect. I fell in love with her. I thought, 'what the hell? Maybe we could make a go of it?', so I gave up on the image and locked you away deep in my heart. I tried to forget you. I was determined to put you out of my mind and concentrate on my family and my business. Then I discovered Kagura's true nature. That lies, the deceit. If I didn't know for sure that Rin was mine I would have thrown her out long ago." He exhaled as if to relieve himself of the burden in his heart and soul. "I could have put up with anything Kagura could have dished out, but when Rin told me that Kagura hated her." He sighed again. "That, I could not put up with! So, I decided to do something about it." Looking down into Yasha concerned face, he smiled. "Better late than never, eh?" Yasha smiled and laid her head on his muscular chest. They stayed like that for a while. The 2 of them just quietly enjoying the feel of the other.
They were startled by the sound of that huge clock in the foyer. Sesshomaru glanced at his watch, 11 PM. "Well, it's late." He said, not wanting to let her go. Fearing that if he did, she would disappear from his life again. "Why don't you stay here for the night?" She looked up at him when he said that. She silently weighted her options. Sess taking it completely wrong quickly added, "I didn't mean anything inappropriate! It's late and we have a lot of guest rooms here, and- "
She placed a finger to his lips. "I'll stay."
At the Higurashi home...
The house was alive with the laughter of the family, as they watched the elder pair of siblings argue back and forth. "You cheated, Keade! I just know you did!" He pointed accusingly at his smiling sister, then at his granddaughter's husband. "And you! You helped her, didn't you!"
Naraku held up his hands in an innocent gesture, and shook his head no. "Shut up you old fool," She yelled at him. "With the way you play, who needs to cheat? You lost fair and square, now stop being a sore loser!"
"HA!" Just then the phone rang. Souta, who was playing a video game with Shippo, picked it up. "Mushi- mushi," he answered. "Oh hey Inu! Yeah hold on I'll take the phone to her." He walked up to the table where the adults where arguing. "Auntie, Inu's on the phone."
"Thank you Souta." Keade took the phone. "Hello dearest. How was dinner? Huh? Oh I see." As Keade talked everyone watched her facial expressions as she talked to Inu. "Okay dear, I'll see you in the morning. Good night, love." Hanging up the phone, she looked at all the curious faces. "What?"
"So how did Inu date go, with that young man?" Aoi asked.
"Did she have a good time?" Asked Kagome.
"What time did she get home?" Asked Hiko.
Keade calmly picked up the cards and shuffled them. "The dinner went well. Yes, she had a great time," the last she muttered, "she said she's staying the night." Silence. "Who's up for another round?"
"She doing WHAT?!?" Yelled Hiko. "Do you mean to tell us that your going to let that girl stay the night with a strange man?! Was old age rattled your brain, Keade? What are you thinking?" Turning to Naraku and Juromaru. "You boys, you go right now and retrieve that girl, this minute!"
When they started to get up, Keada stopped them. "Don't you two move one inch," said Keade. "Brother, InuYasha is a grown woman, I trust her to handle herself! Besides, Sesshomaru is a gentlemen. He would not take advantage of InuYasha in anyway!"
"How do you know? Heero was a gentleman to and look what happened!" Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing when that hated name was mentioned.
Keade sighed. "This man is different, Hiko."
"How do you know?"
Keade smiled and said simply. "Her face lights up whenever she thinks of him. There is love there!"
Back at the Mansion...
Sesshomaru was sitting on the couch in front of the fire, when Inu walked back in. "Did you talk to your Grandmother?"
Yasha smiled and plopped down next to him. "Yeah, she's still playing cards. She and Naraku are beating Uncle Hiko and Juromaru, again." He laughs as he puts his left arm around her. They sat quietly for a moment longer, before Inu turned to him. "Sessho, I'm really glad you told me about you and Kagura. I really appreciate your trust in me."
"I just hope I didn't scare you off."
She snuggled into his chest, "Not a chance!"
"I'm glad your here with me, Yasha. I really am." Placing his finger under her chin, he raised her face and kissed her. Sess' tongue slid across her lips, as it sought access to the moist sweetness inside. Wrapping her arms around his neck, Yasha parted her lips; granting access to him willingly. They both moaned as the kiss got more and more passionate. Sess put his right hand behind her head, as his left one moved from her shoulder to the small of her back. Pressing her tight against him. InuYasha's right hand buried itself in his thick silky hair, while the other roamed up and down his strong back. Sesshomaru then reached down under her knees and lifted her legs into his lap. This allowed him to push a very willing InuYasha back down onto the seat of the couch. Sess tore his lips from hers only to press slow maddening kisses down her jawline, and on to her throat. Yasha, an impassioned moan spilling from her mouth, arched her back to give his lips better access to her neck. Her small hands tightened on him as she felt the hand under her knees move slowly up one of her soft thighs. It moved higher and higher, as Sess' mouth moved to the exposed skin of her neckline, and back up again. She turned her head slightly, when she felt that long wet tongue of his lap at the extra sensitive skin of her earlobe. She shivered in pleasure, "Oooohhhhhh, Sssssseeeeessssssssssshhhhoooo" She sighed as she pulled him closer. Sesshomaru, his golden eyes hot with desire, asked her a silent question. To which she cupped his face in her small hands and breathed her answer onto his warm lips. "Yes." Sess stood up from the couch and pulled her up on her feet. Once she was standing he scooped her up into his arms and carried her up to his room, kissing her as they ascended.
Sesshomaru, reached his door and kicked it open with his foot. He carried her through, then kicked it closed. Setting her down to stand in front of him, he framed her face in his hands. "Yasha. I need to know are you really okay with this?" He held his breath as he awaited her answer. Yasha turned away from him and walked to the huge bed in the far corner of the room. She took a deep steadying breath, she turned to face him. Sess watched as she began to unbutton the tiny pearl buttons of her dress. Letting it fall from her body with a soft rustle. Standing before him in only her underwear and a smile, she raised her hands to him. Sess just started at her, marveling at the utter loveliness of the creature in front of him. 'I knew she would be beautiful, but my god!' He could barely breathe. "You are breathtaking!" He walked like a man in a trance. Taking her hands in his, Sess held her close to him. They kissed as they lowered onto the bed. Yasha began to unbutton his shirt, and slipped it off his broad shoulders. Letting her hand roam over the smooth skin of his upper torso. Relishing in the feel of those cool little hands moving over his feverish skin, Sess lifted her up slightly off the bed and pushed the straps of her slip down over her shoulders. He removed it so quickly that Yasha hardly noticed it was missing. Sess' hand went to the clasps of her black cotton push up bra and unsnapped them. Rolling Inu on top of himself he had her straddle him. Pushing her to sit up on his lap, he removed her bra.
Embarrassed, Inu quickly covered herself with her arms. Sesshomaru grabbed her wrists lightly and moved her arms from her. "No, my love, don't ever hide your beauty from me. I have waited so long to see you at this moment." He caressed one of her full and pert breast. Weighting it in his palm. "I want you more than my next breath." Sitting up, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hard. Yasha melted into that kiss, and returned it with all the passion in her heart. Sess shifted and bore her back down onto the bed, rolling over her again.
Her hands moved to the tie holding his hair together, and removed it. Letting his hair form a shimmering silver veil around them both. She felt his hands roaming over her slowly, as he paid homage to her body with his mouth. Starting from her mouth, he went lower and lower. His tongue making a hot moist trail down her neck to her breast. Yasha gasped as she felt his hot mouth engulf one hard puckering nipple. Tears came to her eyes as she felt him suckle hungrily at her breast, and she held his head to that tender spot.
"Oooohhhhh.....aaaaahhhhhh-uuuuhhhh..... mmmmmmmmm!!!!" She moaned.
Sesshomaru raised his head and smiled at her. "Do you like that, my little rose?" He breathed against the passion hardened bud. Unable to find her voice, she just nodded. He smiled as he moved to torture her neglected bud. Yasha moaned and raked her nails across Sesshomaru's back. She gave a frustrated groan when he removed his mouth from her swollen breasts and journeyed down over her ribcage, kissing each rib as he went. His tongue delved lower and dipped into her belly button. She shivered again and moaned his name. Sesshomaru hooked his thumbs in the waist band of her black cotton panties. He guided them slowly off her hips and down over her silky smooth thighs, throwing them to the floor. He sat up so his eye could feast on her body.
She lay on the cool black satin comforter. Her long ebony hair fanned out about her. Her arms stretched out wide and welcoming. Those huge purple eyes, that were usually bright and clear. Where now glazed over and filled with burning lust and passion. Her pouty little mouth, swollen and red from his kisses. The love bites on her neck, chest, and breast stood out against the full blown blush that had swept over her entire body. His burning golden eyes moved lower to admire the silky thatch of dark curls that covered her neither region. He smiled as he heard her moan when he brushed his fingers lightly through them. Bending over her Sesshomaru began to kissing her again. His tongue sweeping every inch of her mouth. His hand slowly easing between her thighs and over her secret place.
At the feel of his hand, Yasha's pulse quickened. She pulled him into a tight embrace, loving the feel of him. Then a tiny trickle of fear rolled through her. She tried to ignore it. She tried to push it out of her mind, but thoughts of other hands came to her mind. Hands that ripped and tore at her tender skin. Gone was the tender caress and loving kisses. They were replaced by bruising fingers and rough painful kisses. 'No! No, I don't want this!' She began to struggled, as her tortured mind frantically looked for a way out. Suddenly she gave a great shove and pushed the cruel man away from her. When he reached for her again, Inu screamed and struck him in the face with her fist. In her clouded mind, she could hear her name being called.
"InuYasha. InuYasha! Stop it! Damn it Yasha open your eyes! Look at me it's Sesshomaru, Yasha, it's Sess!"
The voice finally breaking through the cloud of terror, that attacked her mind. Yasha opened her eyes, to see a troubled and confused Sesshomaru looking down at her. A small fist sized bruise darkening his cheek.
Appalled by what she had done, she started to cry uncontrollably. Sess picked her up, and held her close. Rubbing her back and rocking her back and forth, he whispered words of kindness and assurance into her ear. They stayed like that until her tears subsided. When she was calm, Sess sat her down on the bed. He got up and when to his amour. Going into the top drawer he removed one of his T-shirts and returned to the bed. "Yasha," he said calmly. "Lift your arms." She did as she was asked. Allowing him to slip the garment on her. Then he went into his bathroom. From the bed, a miserable Yasha, berated herself. 'I'm such an idiot! How could I let myself think of that bastard! Oh god what must Sess think?! I hope he's not mad at me. How will he react? What if he turns his back on me? I don't want to loose him!' She heard the sound of running water. A few minutes later he was back. In his left hand a glass of water, and a cool wet face cloth in the other. Without a word, he set the glass down and gently washed the tear marks from her face. Then, her put the rag on the night stand and handed her the water. "Drink this it will make you feel better."
She whispered her thanks as she took the glass from him. Sess sat back and watched as she emptied the glass. Taking it from her, he eased her and himself under the covers and held her in his arms. "Yasha," he began, "that is the second time you have acted that way. Tell me what's wrong, please? I hate to seeing you so frightened! Is it me? Am I moving to fast for you?"
"Oh no Sess, it's not you! Don't ever think that! I- I love you Sessho. I love you with all my heart and soul!" She assured him. Hoping he believed her.
"Then what? What happened to you? Did someone hurt you?" Judging her by her silence Sess closed his eyes to control the rage that began to boil. 'Who was it?' He wondered. 'Who would dare to hurt his Yasha?' Then he opened them. "Was it someone you knew?" She nodded. "A friend?"
Sighing heavily, "I thought he was."
"Yasha, did he... He didn't... "
She knew what he was asking, and as much as she didn't want to forget it; she knew Sess deserved an answer. "His name is Heero Takamoto I met him a few years ago at a party when I was tending school in the States. He is the only son of a very wealthy man here in Japan, and like me he went abroad to study. At first everything was good. I mean, we went out to coffee and we had lunch a few times, but nothing more. I had explained to him from the start that I wasn't interested in a relationship. That all I could offer him was friendship. He said he was okay with that. When my time in America was over, he asked if he could write me. I didn't see the harm in it so I told him he could. Than he started to send me flowers and then little gifts. After a while it got to be to much. So, I wrote him to ask him to stop. I told him that I didn't think of him that way. For a while, he stopped sending me things. Then..."
Sess who had been very quiet, tightened his arms around her and gave her a squeeze for courage, "Go on."
Sighing, she buried herself deeper into him and continued. "Then one day he showed up at the cafe. He said he was sorry if I was offended by his overzealousness, and wanted to be friends. So I accepted. Everything was good again. I introduced him to my friend and family. He was even invited to a couple of bbqs and parties. Nothing special. Then one night everyone went to my uncles shrine for dinner to celebrate the fact that Kagome and Naraku were expecting Shippo. I couldn't go because I had a bad head cold, so gram to me to stay home. That's when..."
Flashback-five years ago...
Inu was laying in bed when the phone rang. "Hello?"
"Hi Inu dear, how are you feeling?"
She smiled and rolled her eyes. "I'm fine gram. How's the party going?"
"Fine dear, just fine ... oh, hold on"
"Hey you faker!" Laughed Kagome into the phone. "You probably planned that cold to get out of being here, you bum!"
"Hey! You know that's not true! I really wanted to be there! I wanted another chance to use Naraku's head for a punching bag, for knocking you up!" She laughed.
"Oh lay off Naraku, Yash! He's a good guy!"
"He's a thug!"
"Ex thug."
"That's only because Juro and I would have beat him senseless if he didn't straighten up! Speaking of Juro how's he doing, you know he's not big on parties."
"Oh he's fine. He and Naraku are playing one of Souta's stupid video games! Well, get some rest and I come to see you tomorrow."
"Okay see you then" Yasha waited for her grandmother to return to the phone.
"Are you sure your all right, dear? Do you need anything?"
"No gram I'm fine. Now for the last time have a good time and don't worry about me!"
"Okay dear, you stay in bed and I'll see you in a couple of hours. Love you!"
"Love you too. Bye." Yasha hung up and sighed. Yasha went into the kitchen to make herself some tea and some toast to snack on. About 20 minutes later. Yasha carried her tray back up to her room, and was just about to crawl back in bed when the doorbell rang. She frowned putting on her robe, she went to see who it was. "Whose there?" Through the door she heard Heero's voice call out. 'Hmm. I wonder what he's doing here?' Opening the door she saw Heero standing there with a large bouquet of flowers in his hand. "Heero? What are you doing here? It's kind of late for a housecall."
"I heard that you weren't feeling well Yasha, so I came to give you these and to see if you needed anything."
Yasha smiled and said "No, I'm fine Heero. You didn't have to worry about me. It's just a cold."
"But, I like worrying about you, Yasha. May I come in?"
Suddenly for some reason warning bells went off in Yasha's head. "I don't think that would be a good idea, Heero it's late and I was about to go to bed."
"I'll only be a minute, Yasha. Nature is calling and I don't think I can make it home, if you know what I mean?"
"Oh ... well... *sigh* Okay." She stepped aside to let him in, closing the door. "It's just down the hall on the right. He stopped and gave her the flowers. "Oh thank you, Heero. There lovely." She went into the kitchen to put them in some water. When she turned Heero was standing behind her. "Aaahhh!" She almost dropped the vase when she screamed. "Heero! You scared me half to death!" Yasha put the vase on the table and turned to him, "I think it's time for you to go now Heero. I appreciate the fact that you thought of me, but like I -"
"You appreciate me, Yasha? Appreciate, Huh? I don't think you do. I don't think you realize how much I care about you? How much I love you? How the very thought of you drives me to distraction. Do you appreciate that, Yasha? Well? DO YOU!?!"
The harshness in his voice making her jump. She felt very afraid at that point. Inching towards the backdoor, she tried to reason with him. "Heero, of course I value your friendship and your kindness, but I told you from the start; I don't feel the same way for you that you feel for me. Now, please just leave. Please go before you wake my grandmother," she lied.
Heero just grinned. "Now, Yasha, it's not nice to lie. Especially since I know your grandmother is at Kagome's house." Closing in on the space she was trying to put between them Heero grabbed her arm and sneered into her face. "It's just you and me, my sweet! And, I intend to show you the true meaning of appreciation!"
