The Crescent Cafe...

       It was the middle day, and the restaurant was in a low period. The lunch crowd was over, so the crew was just chilling out. Inu and the guys where busy; baking, cooking, and restocking the selves in the glass cases and counters. Kisa, Mai, and the rest of the girls were cleaning up the front. They where refilling the napkins and condiment dispensers, when the door chime sounded. The girls looked up to see Mrs. Wantanabe coming through the door. She gave the ladies a slight nod in greetings. "Good afternoon, ladies. Is InuYasha available?"

       "Yes, ma'am, just a minute." Kisa when into the kitchen. A few minutes later, Yasha came out with a big smile.

       With a hand extended to the woman, "Welcome Mrs. Tokio! It's wonderful to see you again! I was just making a gift box to send you, as sort of a thank you. For having faith in me and my friends, and letting us handle Sango and Miroku's reception. It really meant a lot to us, that you trusted us so much." Yasha gushed as she hugged the older woman.

       Tokio hugged her back and smiled. "The pleasure was mine, InuYasha. I know that you and your friends were not used to working jobs of this magnitude, but you should be very proud of yourself, my dear! I knew that from the way you handled engagement party, that I would be more than pleased with you and your company!" Looking around the cafe, she turns to Inu. "My dear, is there somewhere we can talk in private?"

       Yasha looked confused for a second. Then she smiled and led the elder woman through the kitchen, and out the backdoor. Inu paused for a moment, and picked up a small tray with a tea set up for 2. And, a small white box with a blue ribbon and a silver crescent moon on the top. Tokio nodded at the boys as she passed them. They nodded in return, but when the ladies were out the door. "What the hell do you think that is all about?" Renkostu asked, as he kneaded the dough for the dinner rolls. Juromaru and Bankostu just shrugged, and went back to what they where doing. Jakostu who was sweeping the floor snuck a peek out of the window at the 2 women, who were now sitting by the little garden outback.

       Yasha motioned for Tokio to have a seat. She placed the tray on the little table. Pouring 2 cups, she handed one to Tokio along with the box. "Thank you, dear. I do love these little pastries of yours! I think I've gained 10 lb.!" Looking around the little herb and flower garden Tokio smiled at the rather large Camilla brush just next to her chair. "What a beautiful Camilla brush, Yasha! It's so well grown! You must spend a great deal of time pruning it!"

       Yasha smiled. "Yes, it is very important to me. It's my mother."

       "What do you mean?"

       Sighing, Yasha gave her a wistful smile. "Well, she and I planted this bush four months before she died. She told me that as long as this bush grows strong and healthy, she would always be here; with me. So, this bush is my mama!"

       "Touga told me that you lost your mother at a young age, I'm sorry for your loss my dear."

       "It's quite all right, ma'am. It was 15 years ago, and I got along just fine. I do miss her very much, but I think my grandmother has done a great job raising me." Yasha leaned over and sniffed a single perfect bud.

       Nodding slowly, Tokio took a sip of her tea, as she allowed Yasha's story to sink in. "I can appreciate your situation. It would seem that you and my nephew share a similar past. I understand from my brother, that you met Sessho the day Megumi died?"

       "Yes, my mother was there for an operation, so I was there visiting her. I was just walking around while my gram was with the doctor. That's when I first met Sess."

       "And, that's is what brings me here. But, first things first! I have a little something for you." Tokio opens her purse and hands Inu an envelope. "We added a little extra in appreciation for all your hard work."

       "Thank you so much, but you really didn't need to add anything extra. It's really was not... " Tokio stopped her, by raising her hand.

       "You and your friend are worth every single penny, my dear." Taking another sip, Tokio sighed. "You realize, seeing you with my nephew like that was quite a shock. But, thinking back, it is Sesshomaru we're talking about!" She smirked. "I have known that boy since birth, and he was always a bit of an enigma. He was the pride and joy of this family! He could be so very sweet, but he was such a little terror! When I think back to all the stunts that boy has pulled! Ha! If Touga and father's hair wasn't already white, it would have been by the time that boy was 6!" She smiled as she shock her head. "I'll never forget the time Touga and Megumi took him to see 'Superman' when he was about 6. After they got home, Megumi said that she couldn't find Sess. She got so worried that she, Touga, Myoga and Jaken searched everywhere. They found him on top of the garage with a red tablecloth around his neck. Just as they got to the garage door, that boy jumped. Thank god Touga caught the little fool!" Toki laughed as she told a shocked and amused InuYasha about that being the first and only time Megumi ever spanked her son, and how Sess through his tears continued to smile! Yasha was in tears as she pictured Sess as a child. 'Somehow I knew he would have been a handful! I'm gonna have my work cut out for me!' "At first I have to admit, I was a little upset... No, I was a lot upset. My nephew and his child had been put through so much. You can't imagine just how wrong that woman was for him. Kagura was brass and tacky, with no sense of style or class. I swore to myself on Megumi's grave that I would look out for her son, and when he married that witch... " She closed her eyes and sighed to calm herself. "I felt like I failed that promise. When he was finally rid of her, I for one jumped for joy. I thought, 'Yes! Now he can get his life back on track. He start concentrating on himself, his child, and business.' And, I thought when the time was right, He would find a more suitable woman. A woman more to his ... standards and status. Then I find him with you."

       Yasha suddenly looked crestfallen. She listened nervously as Tokio continued. 'Just what is she trying to say? I hope she doesn't think I'm using him! Oh no! Calm yourself, Yasha!' "Mrs. Wantanabe, I love Sess-" Tokio raised her hand to still Yasha's protest.

       "Please, dear, let me finish. As I was saying. I had hoped he would find someone more like us. And when I say us, I mean someone of breeding. Someone of similar status and background. When I saw him with you, at the reception, I was very upset. I mean ... you were the furthest person, I would have expected for Sessho to be interested in. You don't come from the same places. Sesshomaru is a man destined to head one of the finest and riches families, not only in Japan, but in the world! And, with that comes a certain amount of responsibility. The woman he choses will be an instant target for the press! Everyone will be watching her. Critiquing her. Every woman, who was hoping now that he's single again they might have a shot. They will be gossiping behind everything the next Mrs. Takeuchi does. A Takeuchi wife will always be under constant scrutiny!"

       Taking Inu by the hand, Toki looked into the girls eyes. "I had my reservations about you, when I saw you with Sess. I felt that you were not the right woman for him. I felt that you were beneath him. You were to common. I- I even called you 'lowly'!" Inu squared her shoulders and looked Tokio in the eye. Waiting for her to finish, ready to handle anything the woman had to say. 'I will not cry! I will not let what she says break me! I know Sess and I are meant for each other! And, no one, not Mrs. Toki can break us apart!' Toki seeing this smiled. 'I see!' "I can see I was wrong! Sesshomaru has chosen very well!" Standing up Tokio opened her arms wide to InuYasha. "In the stead of his mother, I welcome you InuYasha Shinta, into the Takeuchi family!" Yasha was pulled into her warm embrace as Toki whispered in her ear "Take care of him. Underneath that cool and calm facade, lays a very tender and gentle heart. I want you to take very good care of it! Promise your Aunt Tokio, young lady!"

       Yasha smiled with tears in her big purple eyes. "I promise, Aunt Tokio!" The 2 women conversed for a few more minutes, before Tokio had to leave. As Inu walked her out, Myoga walked in with young Rin.

       "Hi mama!" The young girl beamed as she ran and hugged InuYasha tightly around the waist. In her hands she held a picture. "I made this for you!" She showed her a portrait done in crayon. It showed Touga, InuYasha, and Sesshomaru with Rin standing in the middle, and Jaken standing on the end. Under the picture, written in childish scrawl, 'My Family! By Rin Takeuchi.

       "My what a wonderful picture Rin! Did you do this all by yourself?"

       "Yep! I sure did mama!" Just then Rin looked over and saw Tokio, standing off to the side, smiling. She walked up to her and bowed. "Hello, Auntie!" Cocking her head to the side she asked. "What are you doing here?"

       Toki patted the girl on the head and smiled, "I was just having a cup of tea with your mama." Looking to Inu, the women smiled and said their good-byes.

       "Mama, can I make cookies today?"

       "Yes, little one." When Inu asked if Myoga wanted to stay, he shock his head and told her that he had to take the car to be served. He also informed her that Sesshomaru, would be coming later. Tipping his hat to the women, he turned and left. "Okay, little one! Let's get you into your work clothes and get some cookies in the oven!" Hand and hand the 2 went back into the kitchen. Discussing what types of cookies they should make.

       Little did they know, that at that very moment a car was barreling down the highway leading from Tokyo National Airport. In the backseat a well dressed man stared out of the window. He turned his head and ordered his driver to drive faster. His destination-The Crescent Cafe. He smiled as he took off his DKNY sunglasses. 'Ah, I've come home early just for you. My InuYasha! And, this time I will have you! One way or another, my sweet, you will be MINE!

TBC....

He's back!!!! Oh man, Heero's home early and he's making his way to the cafe! Not only is Yasha there, but so is Rin is there too! I wonder what will happen now? 19th rose: Sesshomaru meets Heero! ~ B reading U!
