The Love of My Rose Hime

Twenty- third Rose: InuYasha and Sara

by Nikkie23534

The Takeuchi Mansion

The engagement party...

       By the time InuYasha and Sesshomaru came down the stairs, Touga and the rest of the family had already taken their places in the receiving line. All eyes turned as the happy couple to be made their grand entrance. All would agree that it was indeed a sight to be hold! Touga was standing in his spot at the beginning of the line. His job, to welcome attending guest into his home and present the engaged couple, was the first to reply. "Well, I thought we would have to send a search party for you two!" Going to them, he clapped his son lightly on the shoulder, then he kissed InuYasha on her rosy cheek. "Are you two ready?"

       Wrapping his arm possessively around Inu's waist, Sess pulled her closer to himself, and away from his dad. Touga watches in silent amusement, reminded of how he used to act whenever Megumi was in the room. "We are as we will ever be, right my love?"

       "You bet! Bring 'em on!" Yasha smiled, confident that as long as this arm is around her, nothing could go wrong. Jaken opened the doors to let the first guests through the door.

       The first faces through the door, caused InuYasha to breathe a little easier.

       "HEY YASHA!!!!!!!!" Yasha laughed while Sesshomaru grinned broadly. The first guests to arrive where the Crescent Cafe gang! The girls where all dressed in elegant brightly colored kimonos, with extricate designs. The guys, with the exception of Jakostu, were all wearing short kimonos with matching hakamas in dark colors.

       "You guys look awesome! I didn't know you all had clothes like those!"

       While Yasha was inspecting her friends attire, they were checking her out as well. Jakostu was the first to get over the shock and comment. "OH MY GODDDDDD, YASHA IS THAT YOU?!?" Much to the immediate ire of Sesshomaru, Jakostu tongue was practically hanging out as he rushed her. Jakostu grabbed her by the waist, and dipped her low staring into her eyes. "Inu you can't be serious! You can't marry possibly him and leave me behind! Sure, he's uber-rich, but he can't love you the way I do!!!!" He started to cry as he moved his face closer to kiss her. Growling, Sesshomaru started towards the man was foolish enough to put his hands on Yasha. But, before he could reach them, the lights went out for Jak. As he was caught in the face by a hard fist, that sent him flying across the room. Yasha would have hit the floor if not for the quick save by Sesshomaru. Sess, Inu and the rest stared in stunned shock, as a hard breathing Touga straightened out his attire and returned to his place. All the while muttering under his breath something about 'stupid little perverts and fools'. Which caused several of them to laugh, including Yasha and Sess.

       "Juromaru, can you come here please?" Called Sesshomaru. From out of the reception area, Juro walked in. Sess just smiled and pointed in the direction of Yasha's fallen employee. Wordlessly, Juro shook his head. Going to the knocked out man, he grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out of the room. Without turning, he waved when Sess yelled out a thank you.

       Yasha turned to him with a smile. Sess gave her a most innocent look. "What? Did you think I wouldn't learn a thing or two from hanging around you and your friends?"

       "No, it's not that."

       "Oh?" He raised a finely shaped brow. "What is it, then?"

       "Now I see where you get that guard dog streak of yours from!" She giggled.

       Sess stole a quick look at his still fuming father, then looked back at Inu, with a soft grin. "If you think he's bad, remind me to tell you a few stories about my mother. Pitbulls had nothing on her!" They smothered laughter as they turned to greet more guests.

       Taki, Tokio, and Kohaku to seemed to be the last to arrive. It looked like all the guests had been greeted. They were about to go into the reception hall when Jaken announced one last arrival. This made Sesshomaru turn in surprise. Yasha frowned in confusion when she saw Sess' reaction. Looking towards the door she saw an impressive looking gentleman, in a black kimono with gold piping woven throughout the silken fibers. With him was a gorgeous young woman, with long brunette tresses. She had wide almond shaped brown eyes, and ruby cupid's bow lips, that were curved in a small softly wistful smile. A smile aimed solely at Sesshomaru. InuYasha found herself wondering just who she was. 'She simply beautiful. Whoever she is, Sess seems to be taken back by her.' She thought to herself. Yasha felt a tinge of jealousy when Sess left her side, and went to them. He bowed respectfully to the older man, who was standing next to Touga. Then he gently took the girl by the hand. His expression soft as he spoke to her. After a moment, he turned to Inu, with a smile. "Come, my dearest, I want you to meet them." Holding out his hand for InuYasha to come to him. "My darling, may I present, Keitaro Hondo. A very old and very dear friend of the family," and turned to the girl. "And, his gracious daughter, Sara. Hondo-sama, Sara-chan," Sess turned to Yasha, his eye shining with pride. "This is my InuYasha, my bride to be!" The man, woman and Yasha bowed to each other. Yasha smiled as she greeted the man, who smiled in return. When Yasha turned to greet the woman, she froze. The woman was giving Sesshomaru a very long and very loving, and yet sad stare. Which caused Yasha to wonder who was this woman, and what did she mean to her silver prince.

       As the evening wore on, Yasha and Sess spent the whole time conversing with various guests. Well-wishers joked and toasted the couple, praying for a long life of love, prosperity, and many, many children. With the last remark, Sess grinned devilishly as poor InuYasha brushed furiously. Yes, everyone was having a grand time, everyone except... It seemed to Inu, that when ever she turned around or looked behind Sess, she often found another pair of eyes afixed to him. Sara Hondo. Everywherer Yasha and Sess went during the party, or who ever Sess and Yasha stopped to talk to, there she seemed to pop up. Sesshomaru was or seemed to be oblivious to the woman that shadowed his every move. A couple of times during the party, Yasha had been dragged away from Sess' side by either Touga or Tokio to meet someone they felt important. Or, when Jaken and the cater needed an approval for when to serve something or another. However, upon her return, Inu would come back to find that that woman would be right by Sess' side. Laughing at something he said to her or on more than one occasion, touching Sess arm or hand. The final straw came when, Yasha had returned from taking a sleepy Rin and Shippo inside to nap with little Kanna. When she came back she found Sesshomaru standing next to the entrance to the garden maze. The happy smile she wore disappeared quickly, as she saw Sara pulling him through the archway. Frowning, she followed them. Going through many twists and turns, Yasha had thought at one time she'd lost them, until she turned the last corner before entering the center. There she hear something very unnerving.

       "Sess, I'm so happy you invited me here! It's been to long!" She giggled as she sat on the bench, motioning for him to sit beside her.

       Sess sat down smiling at the girl. "Yes I suppose it has. Your still as lovely as ever Sara. How have you been? Father told me all about your engagement. Congradulations, I have heard many good things about Yuuki Shinotaro. You couldn't have picked a better choice."

       Sara looked down at her hands, sadly. "Yes, Yuuki is a very good man, from a very good family. And, he really does love me. But..."

       Sess frowned and leaned closer to her. Grabbing a lock of her silky dark hair, he gave it a small tug, like he did when they where little. "But? Come on Sara. There are no secrets between old friends."

       "But, that's just it, Sess! You are not just an old friend!" She turned to him and grabbed him by the shoulders, surprising him with her outburst. "You knew how I felt about you. How I STILL feel about you!" With tears flowing freely, she continued her confession unwise to the fact they had a visitor. "Why, Sess? Why her? I thought that after that whole business with Kagura, you would have realized by now!"

       "Realized? Realized what Sara? What are you talking about? I never told you that we would be together. That was the whole reason why I had our arrangement voided. Sara, I have only thought of you as a sister and nothing more." He stood and was about to walk away, when she jumped up and blocked his exit. "Move Sara. I must return, Yasha will be-" Yasha heard his voice stopped suddenly. Yasha held her breath as she peeked around the corner, what she saw made her soul scream. Sara, with her arms around Sesshomaru's neck. Her ample body pressed tightly against his. Sara and Sess' mouths fused together in an empassioned kiss. Suddenly they broke apart and were looking in Yasha's direction. Through tear blurred eyes, Yasha sobbed turning from them she ran. As she ran she heard Sess yell for her to stop, and Sara pleading for him to stay with her.

       Sess was so shock by Sara's actions he could do nothing at first. 'What the hell? This is not happening!' Sess had grown up with Sara, and he had always thought of her as nothing more than a pretty little girl. He had often refered to her as his little sister. Someone he had always protected. Maybe if his mother hadn't died, or if he had never met the love of his life, InuYasha. He probably would have thought of her in a much different way. But, when Sess found out about the arrangment made by his grandfather, he told Touga he was against it. He couldn't be with Sara, for he was devoted to another. So, Touga officially had the contract voided. When he told Sara about his decision, she seemed to be in complete agreement. She even looked a bit relieved about the broken contract. Now, Sesshomaru, for the first time, he realized the true depth of Sara's feelings for him. "Sara," he said as he took her hand, "I'm sorry if I led you to believe something that wasn't true. I never meant to hurt you, but you knew how I felt." She shook her head as she sobbed. She started to say something, but he stopped her. "Sara," he said softly. "The woman who just ran away from here is the only woman in the world for me. I have loved Yasha since I was 11 years old. I can't be with anyone else. I wouldn't want to. I won't and can't lie to you, maybe if my mother hadn't died that day. Maybe if I hadn't meet Yasha that day, I probably won't have had asked father to end the arrangement between us. But, those things had happened. That day sealed my fate. I love her, Sara. I'm sorry. Good bye." With that he turned and ran after the love of his life. Hoping he could savage the situation before it gets out of hand, leave Sara to stare after him. 'I hope she'll listen to me. I'll make her listen to me, even if I have to tie her up and make her.'

       By the time Yasha had stopped to catch her breath, she realized that she was in a part of the maze she hadn't been in before. She looked around, trying to get her baring. As she walked, the scene from a few minutes ago replayed in her mind. 'That's why she was so sad. That woman is in love with Sesshomaru, too. Why didn't he ever mention her before? When she walked in, he was so gentle with her. So attentive. He must some feeling for her. More than brotherly.' That thought made Inu stop dead in her tracks. Fresh tears started to spill from her eyes again, at the thought of another woman in Sess' live. A woman that loves him, as deeply as she does. 'Oh god! My Sess just kissed that woman! That a horrid woman! How the hell does she think she is? Who the hell does HE think he is? I mean, how could he do that to me? How could he let her kiss him? Doesn't he realize how much I love him? What is it, am I not enough? I may not be as sophisticated as she is, nor am I as pretty as she. But, I thought... I thought he loved me!' When InuYasha turned the corner, she saw a small stone bench next to a huge Sakura tree. Feeling exhausted, mentally and physically, Yasha decided to have a seat to clear her mind. 'Humph! The bastard didn't even have the decency to come after me, the dog! Well, I hope the 2 of them will be very happy together!'   Walking up to the bench Yasha plopped down. She sat with her back against the huge tree, and stared at the bright sky. After a few minutes she felt the familiar burn of her eyes. She buried her face in her hand and started to weep again. 'Who am I fooling?' She thought to herself. 'I'm just a simple woman who owns a small cafe. Sesshomaru is a living god! Of course he would have a woman like her in love with him! I guess that's why it hurts so much! They are practicly the same. Similar backgrounds, similar lives, they even grew up together! Sara was cultured and refinded. Looking down at her hands. Inu noticed for the first time how they looked. Even though they were soft, they were the hands of someone who worked hard. Sara's nails where long and had a fresh manicure. Her hands were extremely smooth. Yasha's nails were trimmed way down and bare of paint. There was even a callous on the palm of her right hand from mixing and working in her garden. Sara would never let her hands get dirty. She would never utter a curse, or yell and holler when she was upset. She would never let her man see her in old clothes on her off time, just laying around the house. In fact, now that she had time to think, Sara was a far better choice for Sesshomaru than she could ever hope to be. And, why not? How could any woman, who has meet the real Sesshomaru, not love him? 'Of course, he had other women in his life. So, this shouldn't bother me right? I mean, I have never been a jealous woman!'   "So, why do I feel like such a loser." She said to herself.

       "Maybe it's because you have snot coming out of your nose? Or, it could be that your talking to yourself, for I doubt it that you knew I was here." Yasha jumped when she heard, what appeared to be the tree talking. Peeking behind the ancient tree, Yasha saw a beautiful woman with dark brown hair sitting on a bench similar to the one she was on. The woman was dressed in a stunning cream kimono with intricate multi colored floral designs on the collar and at the hem of her sleeves. Her obi also had the same design. Her hair was left flowing down her back, and secured with a cream colored silken ribbon halfway to the end. 'Who the hell is she? I don't remember seeing her come in.' Yasha thought as she stared at the woman, who Yasha realized was now staring right back at her. "Didn't your mother teach you that it's not polite to stare at people?" The woman said, with an amused smirk.

       Squaring her shoulders, InuYasha said to the woman. "Yes, as a matter of fact she did. She also said it was rude to spy on people, and eavesdrop on conversations!"

       The woman looked at Inu, then laughed. "My dear, how could I be eavesdropping on your conversation? You're the only person having one? Plus, I do believe I was here first. You are the one who came barging in on a private talk, between me and my friend here."

       Yasha looked at the woman, certain that she was some kind of a loony. There was, after all, no one else there. "What friend? Besides me, there is no one here, but you and me! And, I'm sure I don't know you, lady!" The woman regarded Inu for a moment, before point behind her. InuYasha turned in the direction she was pointing. Behind her was a small shrine like structure carved from stone. Inside, there where freshly burning insense; and in the little vase on top some flowers.

       "As you can see, I was having a conversation with my sister Megumi. Now, if you would be so kind as to leave, so I could finish, I would be most grateful." Said the woman.

       Megumi? Then it dawned on InuYasha. This was the spot where Sess had brought her before. This was where he had introduced her to his mother. "How could I have forgotten?" She bowed to the shrine. "Forgive my barging in on you and your guest, mother Megumi, I do apologize."

       The woman, intrugied by this little display, stared at Inu for a minute. "Oh, I see now! You must be InuYasha Shinta! So your the woman that has captured my handsome little Sesshy- kun's heart!"

       Yasha blinked in confusion. 'Sess-hy- kun? What's this cow talking about?' As far as Yasha knew, Sess had only one aunt. "Excuse me, but who are you?"

       The woman smiled and stood up. Holding her hand out to InuYasha she said. "I, my dear girl, am Tsukiyomu Fujimata. I am the wife of Hoshiyomi Fujimata, Megumi Fujimata- Takeuchi's younger brother, and Little Sessho- kun's uncle. You may call me Auntie Tsuki!" She said with a wide smile. "Now that we have that out of the way, perhaps you can tell me what, on what should be a very happy occaision, has the guest of honor in such dismay? He didn't try to stick a bug down the front of your kimono, did he?" She sighed as she shook her head. "That little rascal is always in trouble!" Looking at the shrine she smiled. "Well, I guess it couldn't be helped? He is after all, Megumi's boy!" Turning to a now very confused InuYasha, the smile got wider. "Tell Auntie Tsuki all about it, dear. Would it help if I go and have his favorite uncle Hoshi spank him for you?" The woman looked so earnest about it, that Yasha couldn't help but laugh. 'I think I'm going to like Auntie Tsuki!'

TBC...

Well that's it for now! See you in the 24th Rose! Love you all, later!
