The Crescent Cafe...

       It was near closing time, as the beautiful young own was preparing to close down for the day. It had been kind of slow, so she decided that she and her crew would knock off early. Juro, Ren, & Ban had just come in from throwing out the trash. Kisa, Mai, Moni & Kera where out in the front, washing down tables, counters. The sweeping and mopping was left up to Jackets, while InuYasha was in the back adding up the days receipts. She was in the middle of preparing the bank deposits, when her cell rang. Looking at the caller ID, a large grin broke over her face.

       "Hey there handsome, I was just thinking about you."

       "Hey yourself sexy," Purred the deep sultry voice on the other end. "I'm just leaving my office, and was wondering if you wanted me to swing by? Maybe you want to go out for dinner somewhere?"

       "You have to ask? But, no restuarant, I'm kind of tired." She laughed as she glanced at the clock on the wall. "Whoa, it's only 6:30, this is unusual! Don't tell me that the reigning king of industry is considering slacking off?" She giggled when a low menacing growl was heard over the phone.

       "Hmmm, I was bored and missing you all day." He slowly admitted. "How are things on your end? The party is in a couple of days, did you give the cater the final approval?" He frowned when he heard her moan guiltily. Untying his ice blue silk tie, he tossed it onto the passenger seat of his raven black 2006 Cadillac SRX. "What's the matter now? Is the whole concept of getting married set in yet? Are you having second thoughts?"

       "Don't be an ass! Of course not!" She picked up her deposit bag and shoved the money and account deposit slip into the bag. Sighing heavily, "It's not that. Sess, why do we have to use an outsider? I am perfectly capable to"

       "No, Yasha," he sighed as he cut her off, as he pulls out of his reserved parking space, and drives out of the company garage. "We've been over this, my love. I intend for you, your family, and your friends to relax and enjoy yourselves! It's OUR engagement party, you are not supposed to work! You one and only job is to show up, meet and greet, and be your beautiful self!"

       "Keh! Yea, yea, I know." She said pouting dejectedly.

       "Don't pout."

       She quickly fixed her face, all the while wondering if he had a video feed in her cafe. "I am not pouting!"

       Laughing at her childish tone. "Not now your not."

       She groans when she hears that familiar low chuckle. "Damn it Sess! Quit reading my mind already! It's creepy!" Smiling at her own manner. "Yeah, I talked to him. He said everything will be ready for us. I have to meet with him tomorrow at the mansion. To map out were we said we wanted everyone to be, for the receiving line. Then the floor plans for the tables and etc."

       "Do you want me to be there?"

       "You had better be, you got me in this! I could have easily done it myself, you know! We could have saved a bondle, too! Jaken and I could have gotten the seating arrangemants done and ..."

       'And, they call me a control freak?' Sesshomaru pondered to himself. "Yasha."

       Sighing heavily. "Yes, I know. I hear you, Sess. I'll be good. I promise."

       "That's my girl! Thank you, my love." He said, confident in knowing that this conversation is not over. Knowing her like he does, he knows that she will have more to say tomorrow. "So, how bout it? What time should Rin and I meet you at your grandma's? You want me to pick something up for dinner?"

       "Nah, just being yourselve and show up when you guys are ready. Gram said she was making grilled fish with fresh raddish sauce and a huge garden salad. We're getting ready to close up here, so I should be leaving here soon anyway."

       Sess blinked several times. "Do my ears deceive me? You just called me a slacker for envoking my CEO rights, and here you are doing the same?"

       "Oh, shut up! It's been slow all day. So, I decided to give everyone a break and go home early. So, go get the baby and come to grams. Oh, and pack a night bag for her. Since I'm not coming in tomorrow, I can take her to school."

       Groan in mock indignation, Sess complained. "Hey, why does she get to spend the night, while I get kicked out at 10?" Sighing heavily, "It's not fair I tell ya! Why do you, gram and Rin get to have all the fun!"

       "Well, I have a frilly little pink nightgown you could wear. We could spend the night, taking turns doing each others hair, and nails, and gossiping over magazines!" She giggled as her mind painted a picture of Sess, in a girlie nightie. Curlers in his long silky hair, painting his well groomed nails, listening to the latest CDs. 'Oh god what I wouldn't give to see that!' She was jarred out of her reverie, when she heard him calling her name impatiently. "What? Oh, Sess, I'm sorry. My mind wondered. What did you say?"

       "Humph! I could just imagine what you were just thinking about." He muttered drolly. "I was just asking if you checked your guest list with Jaken. I want to be sure no one from you side was missed."

       "I don't have that many people on my side. Just the guy here and my family. Sess, are you sure, you and your dad don't mind that we stay the night there? I mean, I know Jaken is used to having me, but it's a lot to put up my entire family for the weekend!"

       Sess laughed. 'Here we go again.' "Yash, for the 8 millionth time, it's fine! It was my dad's idea wasn't it. It doesn't make any sense that they should just come for the party and it will be rather late after the party. This way everyone can relax during the day and rest up for the night and leave fresh in the morning. Besides, we are all going to be family soon, right? What is it that you say 'family sticks together.'"

       Moved to the verge of tears, InuYasha wiped at the tear that fell from her eye. "Have I told you how much I love you, today?"

       "You told me this morning when I called you. Then this afternoon, when you brought me that delicious lunch. And, I look forward to hearing and seeing how much tonight. But, you can go ahead and say it now, if you like."

       "Dog!" She said in mock anger. Then she smiled as she kissed him through the phone, "I love you, Milord prince!"

       "And, I you, My hime. See you in a couple of hours."

The Takeuchi Mansion

Half hour before party time...

       In her room at the mansion, Yasha was sitting in front of her vanity putting the finishing touches to her long ebony locks. Her grandma, Kagome and Aoi where all seated on her bed keeping her company. Rin was seated on the floor playing with little Kanna.

       She was wearing a beautiful scarlet silken kimono with silver Camellia rose embroidery, along the right side from neck to sleeve. On the back was a depiction of a large silver male dog, sitting under a large tree. Alert and vigilant. Sitting beside him a smaller female. The female's head lowered just a bit in submission to her mate. The kimono was a gift from Sesshomaru. He had told her, that it was an old tradition for Takeuchi brides to wear kimonos that had the Takeuchis family symbols. A Rose design on the front, and a pair of silver or white dogs on the back. Whereas the grooms would have the dogs on their backs as well, The front had a very different design. There they would have the symbol of family power. Three swords interwoven into each other. When she asked what the sword meant, he explained. One sword was a sword for life and healing. It granted good health and long life to their clan. The other was a sword of protection. It granted the head males in the family the power to protect themselves and their clan from enemies. The last was the most important. It was the sword of absolute power. It was important, because it set the head of the house or clan apart for all other males. It was the mark of the Takeuchi heir apparent. And, had been the symbol for all the Takeuchi men for over 500 years. Since the feudal age, when the Takeuchi clan had first come into power, and had remained one of the wealthiest families still in Japan. A family in which she would soon be apart of. Just the thought of it was overwhelming Yasha senses, and making her very nervous.

       "Nervous, Yasha?" Kagome giggled.

       "No. Why do you ask?"

       "Because you just used your hair spray."

       "So? What of it?"

       Aoi laughed and pointed. "You sprayed it on you neck, dear!" The women all laughed as InuYasha looked at the bottle in her hand. Sure enough, it was the hair spritzer that contained her favorite hold spray, and not her perfume. She groaned and uttered a very low curse, which made both Rin and little Kanna giggle.

       "Yatha funny!" Laughed little Kanna. Her baby tongue still not quite able to say Yasha's name properly.

       "Here, Yasha, let me help you." Kagome took the spray from her. Grabbing one of Kanna's wet wipes, she wiped the side of Yasha's neck, where she sprayed. Picking up her hair brush, she brushed her hair back and twisted it up into a French twist. Securing it with several bobby pins and finishing the look off with 2 pearl combs. "There! All done!" Kagome beamed.

       Yasha smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror. She had never paid much attention to her looks before. Yasha had always been told she was pretty, and she thought herself as OK. Not a classic beauty like Kagome. InuYasha had an exoticness to her. She had always thought of her eyes, as her one saving grace. Their unusualness, one of the few gifts she received form her gorgeous mother. But, today, she had to admit to herself. She did look pretty!

       Keade came up behind them, and rested her hands on Inu's shoulders. Bending down she kissed her on the cheek. "Yasha, you are the spitting image of your beloved mother, my dear Izayoi!" Wiping her a tear form her eye, she gave her slight squeeze. "Had they lived, your mother, father and even your grandfather, would be so very proud of you! You look beautiful!"

       "Thank you, grandmother." She said softly, as she took Keade's hand and kissed it.

       At that time little Rin jumped into her lap. "You look so beautiful, mama! You look like a movie star or a pop singer!"

       "Why thank you, sweetie! You look very pretty yourself! You and Kanna look like little angels!"

       Then there was a knock on the door. "Yes?"

       "Ladies it's Touga, may I come in?" Yasha took a quick look at herself in the mirror, before giving him the OK. Touga walked in, he wore a traditional black kimono with matching hakamas. The kimono was made of the finest silk and was decorated 3 swords interwoven into each other, and his family crest on the back. It was a picture of 2 giant silver dogs, a large male and a slightly smaller female. They were sitting atop a mountain, both with their heads raised towards the full moon. He greeted the ladies before freezing in his tracks. Seated before him was an angel. 'My god! I hope you realize the treasure you have been bless with, my son!' Grinning, Touga walked up to Yasha. Taking her hand in his, he kissed her palm. "My dear, goddesses would be jealous of your beauty! I hope my son knows what a gift the gods have bestowed upon him!"

       Yasha blushed and thanked him, while the other giggled. Just then, Rin tapped him on the arm. "What about me, grandpa?"

       Bending down, Touga kissed the top of her head. "You my angel. You shine like the sun!" Turning to the others, he smiled softly. "Ladies would you excuse us, there is something I want to say to InuYasha."

       The women looked at each other, then turned to Yasha. She smiled and nodded an okay. She asked if they would check and see how the cater was doing. When they left, Touga turned to her. Smiling he sat down on the bed and motioned for her to come and join him, which she did. "Mr. Touga, is there something wrong?"

       "No, my dear. Everything is just fine." Reaching inside his kimono top and pulled out a thin box. "Yasha my dear, from the day you entered Sess' life, I had witnessed a miracle. You brought light and love back to my son. After my wife, Sess' mother passed away, the boy basically shutdown. All the things that made him happy, he lost interest in. Rin's birth made him more approachable. But... Well... Let's just say he was still in deep mourning. He was a man that had given up all hope of happiness." He held the box out to her and opened it. Yasha gasped when presented with a stunning pearl choker with a large pear shaped diamond in the center. "This is for you, my dear." He took it out of the box and placed it around her neck. "There! It finishes you quite nicely!"

       Yasha fingered the exquisite piece around her neck in awe. "Oh Mr. Touga! I... I can't! It's just to much!" She started to take it off, but he stopped her. She stared at him. "But, sir I don't deserve..."

       Touga held up his hand to silence her. "Now see here young woman," he said wearing a very stern expression, but the softness of his voice mocked it. "It is not polite to contradict your elders! If anyone deserves this, its you." Taking her hand in his, Touga patted it. "I gave that choker to Sess' mother the day our engagement was announced. She wore it only three times in her lifetime. The day I gave it to her, the day we were wed, and the day we presented Sesshomaru formally to the world."

       "Why?"

       "You know I would always ask her the same question, but she just smiled and wouldn't answer me. Then one day she finally told me why."

       InuYasha stared at him totally engrossed. She was and will always be forever intrigued by the other woman that Sesshomaru loved. His first love. His mother. It amazed her how much to this day, that her hold on these two men, had not whined with the passage of time. She remained for them, as her own mother remained for her. A beacon. A shining example of goodness, spirit, pride, and honor. Megumi Takeuchi, as well as Izayoi Shinta. Two women from different sides, yet, they seemed to be cut from the same finely woven cloth. Yasha found herself, yet again, wishing that she had had the honor of meeting Miss Megumi. "What was the reason she gave?"

       Touga smiled and said. "Meg told me that it simply wasn't for her. It was for the woman that would one day take her place." He looked InuYasha deep in the eyes. His golden orbs shone bright with unshed tears. "Somehow, I think ... no. I know, my Megumi was talking about you, dear. Granted, she may have never known who you were. But, I believe she did know that you would be the perfect choice for our... Her son. For that's just who Sesshomaru is and will always be. He may look like me and put forth the same outward appearance of the heir to this mighty empire we foresee. But, that is 'Megumi's boy' no doubt about it!" Smiling, he placed a light kiss on her hand. "You wear it with pride, for it was meant for you. Think of it as a gift and a welcome to the family, from your mother in law."

       Wiping a tear from her eye, Yasha leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Thank you, Mr. Touga. I will treasure it always!"

       "Humph! Enough of this Mr. Touga business, young woman!" Touga scolded. "I thought I told you to call me 'dad'. Don't make me have to put you over my knee!"

       "Yes, sir, dad!" They laughed, then turned when they heard a knock on the door. "Yes," Yasha called out, "come in." The door open to reveal the heart stopping image of Sesshomaru. His thick, thigh length silver locks secured in a ponytail high on his head. Like his father, he wore a similar black silk kimono with matching hakamas. And, like his fathers, it had the same 3 sword symbol on the left side above his heart, but on the back was a scene depicting the same pair of large silver dogs. The male and female were seated on opposite mountain peaks, with a beautiful valley below them. They were shown howling to each other, under the full moon.

       "Yasha, dad, our guests are starting to arri-" He stopped cold as he entered the room and took one look at InuYasha. Sess had traveled the world, and never in all the things he had seen, had he witnessed a more perfect image. He knew, if he was struck dead at this very moment, he would die a blessed man. Blessed to have known, to have loved and been loved by this extraordinary woman. 'I am indeed a lucky man to have such a prize as you, my InuYasha! I thank the gods for releasing this angel from the heavens!' The two young lovers stared at each other. Transfixed by the love they shared, neither could say a word. It was Touga who finally broke their trance like state.

       Chuckling deeply, Touga stood and slapped his gawking son rather hard on the back. "Dear boy, I do believe you had something on your mind, didn't you?"

       Shaken by the none to gentle slap, more than his father's words Sess snapped to. "Ahem! Y- Yes, Dad, I did!" Turing to his bride to be, Sess smiled. "You look absolutely spectacular, my love. The heavens are sure to be jealous of you on this night!" Yasha blushed wildly, at such an outragous comment. 'Oh, I do so love it when she blushes like that! She shines brighter than the diamond around her neck! Wait a minute! That choker! It's... it's...' Looking to his ever smiling father, Sess questioned silently.

       "You mother would have wanted her to have it." Looking at Yasha, then back to Sess. "It was meant for her, don't you think?"

       A soft smile graced Sess' features and he nodded. "Yes, dad." Looking to Yasha, "Dad's right. It does look like it was meant for you, dearest." He raised her hand to his lips and kissed each knuckle, causing Yasha blush to deepen. She pulled her hand away from him, swatting playfully at him. "Let's go down. Our guests are starting to arrive. It wouldn't do for us to be late in greeting them."

       Touga, who was almost out of the room called back to them. "I'll get Rin and the rest of the family and met you two downstairs." Pausing at the door, he turned. "Don't be to long, children." He smiled closing the door behind him.

       Alone, Sess took Yasha in his arms and gave her a gentle kiss. "Are you ready for this?"

       Taking a deep breath, Yasha smiled. "No. Look, whatever happens just stay by me, okay?"

       "My hime, not even death could pull me from your side. Just smile and hold on to my hand, love. Let's go." Together they walked out of the room, and down the steps to the foyer. Taking their places at the receiving line. Hand in hand they greeted friends, families, and business collegues, as each one came inside. Not knowing, that while they were celebriting their good fortune. Not to far away, in two separate parts of the city. Two people were fuming and plotting revenge. One for being booted out of 'what' she thought was rightfully HERS. The other, for 'who' he thought was rightfully HIS!!!
