Forty-ninth Rose: A Visit From the Two Kags...

InuYasha & Kagome...
On the way to Kagome's, InuYasha drove by the huge playground, close to Kagome's home. Shippo and Rin asked if they could stop and play. "Mama! Look my friends are playing at the park!" He said from the backseat, his nose pressed against the widow. "Cousin Yasha! Can we stop at the playground? Please? Me and Rin wanna play, don't we Rin?" Looking at an equally excited Rin.
"Yeah!" She smiled, then turned to the women in the front seat. "Please, mama! Can we, huh? Please!" The tiny girl begged, making puppy dog eyes and clasping her hands tightly.
Yasha sighed and looked to Kagome, who just grinned and shrugged. "Okay, OKAY! Calm down you two! We'll stop, but only for a few minutes, got it?" She shook her head, as the 2 rugrats in the back screamed and pulled at their seatbelts! Yasha turned her jeep into the parking lot, and they all filed out. Entered the sandy area, Shippo grabbed Rin's hand and took off towards his friends.
As they ran off, Kagome yelled to her son. "Ship, watch out for Rin chan!"
"You two be careful! Rin, make sure you stay with Shippo!" Yasha cried.
"Yes, ma'am!" The 2 yelled, not looking back as they joined the other kids. Shaking their heads, Yasha and Kagome took a seat on a nearby bench.
"Goodness! To think 'we' where just like them once." Kagome smiled, watching her son; as he helped Rin climb the ladder to the slide. "Shippo reminds me so much of you, Yash, it's scary!" Grinning as he slid down, then coaxes Rin to follow him. "He's so fearless!"
Yasha smirked. "Feh! Fearless, huh? And, just who was it that was always getting US into trouble? Climbing up the god tree and getting stuck, making me climb up to get you. Practicing archery around the shrine, and breaking out the windows. Then, there was the time you jumped into that stupid well at the shrine, after Souta chased Buyo into the shed. You ended up spraining your ankle, so I had to get you out!" Giving her red faced Cousin a level stare, as she berated her. "I had to be fearless! To keep my senseless little cousin out of so many binds!"
With a sheepish smile, Kagome turned to her. "I was really terrible, wasn't I, Yash. How in the world did you ever put up with me?"
Smiling, InuYasha glanced at her, then turn back to the kids. "Humph! That's what family is all about! I'll have to admit, I wasn't all that innocent either!" She giggled, nudging Kagome's shoulder. "Like the time we went on that double date with Hojo and his friend."
Kagome gasped, "I remember that! He tried to make a move on you, and Hojo went to grab him. And, you ended up knocking Hojo out!"
InuYasha smiled, guiltily. "Well, if Hojo hadn't jumped in the way, he wouldn't have gotten hit." After a minute, the 2 burst into a wild fit of laughter.
Kagome wiped tears from her eyes. "Growing up with you has been a whole lot of fun!" The 2 women sat in comfortable silence, watching the children. After a while, Kagome turned to InuYasha. "Say Yash?"
"Yeah?" Yasha responded, smiling at Rin. Who was trying to console a crying Shippo. Who was sitting in the sand, after he fell trying to perform a trick for her.
"Are you still mad?" When InuYasha raised a brow at her in questioning, Kagome continued. "At Naraku, I mean. Are you still mad with him? Because of what happened."
InuYasha sighed, and turned her gaze back to the kids. "A little. I'm more upset with Sesshomaru, than with Naraku. Naraku is a cop after all. He gets paid to be nosy. Plus, it's just in his nature, there's no helping it. But, Sess?" Yasha shook her head, and sighed sadly. She ran her fingers through her long dark hair. "For him to do what he did. I just can't excuse him. I just can't."
As she listened to her cousin, Kagome watched InuYasha carefully. 'I've never seen her so unhappy before,' Kagome thought, deep worried frown etched on her face. She knew of the discord between the two, and was pained. She knew that Yasha hadn't contacted her husband. Nor had she been home in days. "InuYasha, don't you think maybe you should go home; or at the very least call Sesshomaru? He must be very worried by now. Maybe get his side in all this?"
InuYasha rolled her eyes. "His side? His side?!" She huffed, then whispered to herself. "I don't believe this!" Then turned to her cousin, giving her an incredulous look. "I already know 'his side', Kagome. It's the world according to the 'great and powerful' Lord Sesshomaru Takeuchi, ultimate protector of the world! His word and will is absolute! Giving him the right to make decisions on the lives, of all those around him! Oh, yeah, Kags, I'm fully aware of what Sess' side!" Yasha sniffed, turning her gaze towards the clear blue skies. Unshed tears forming in her wide violet eyes. "Maybe I was wrong, Kags. Maybe I was putting to much into this," said Inu, her voice creaking with emotion, as she watched Rin play. "What did he and I truly have, Kags?" She sobbed. "A memory? A stupid childish dream? The fairy tale of a gorgeous prince, who falls for a poor girl? Maybe, there really wasn't anything there for Sess and me to being with! I should have seen this coming. Our worlds...We're just to different! It's all gone so wrong, Kags!" InuYasha buried her face in her hands, as the tears flowed. She cried for her loss. The loss of the dream, that they shared. "It all went so horribly wrong!"
"No, Yasha," putting her arm around InuYasha's quivering shoulders, Kagome hugged her sobbing cousin. "That's just not true, InuYasha," she reassured. "What you and Sess share, IS real! Nothing can take it away. Not unless you let it, Yasha!" She said as he stroked InuYasha's moist cheek. "It was just...It was just bad timing, Yash! Bad timing on everyone's part, and rotten luck!" Taking a tissue from her pocket, she gently wiped the tears from InuYasha's cheeks. "Yasha, there's still plenty there for the both of you! You guys aren't some foolish whim. You're the real thing! Anyone with eyes, could see that!" Kagome said. "Go home."
Blowing her nose, Yasha looked turned her gaze to Kagome. "What?"
"I said, 'go home'. This thing between you two can't be resolved living apart." Kagome took InuYasha's hand, giving her a knowing smile. "It's the only way to work it out. The 2 of you need to clear the air. Give him the chance to explain his side of things. I'm sure that he is just as broken up about what's happened, as you were. Maybe more, after all, he was a key part of this whole thing."
Yasha sighed heavily, and nodded. There was no way room for argument. Kagome was 100% right, and they both knew it. Yasha hugged her wise cousin, "I you're right, thank you, Kags!" Releasing Kagome, Yasha turned to see both kids running up to them.
"Mama, Miss Kagome, me and Shippo are hungry."
Shippo came up, and stood next to Rin. "Yeah, mom, can we go to McDonald's down the street, before we go home?" He turned to Rin, and grinned, "they have the best fries!"
InuYasha smirked as she bent down, and scooped Rin up. Hugging the happy little girl tightly. "Hey, little one. Why don't we go home, and you help me cook something? Would you like that?" She laughed, when Rin squealed and hugged her mama. She looked over to Kagome, and mouthed 'thank you.' Kags smiled and nodded. They all walked back to Yasha's SUV. InuYasha first dropped Kagome and Shippo off at McDonald's. After saying their good-byes, Yasha turned in the direction of the Takeuchi Mansion. Just as Kagome and Uncle Hoshiyomi stated, it was time to stop running away. It was time to go home.
Sesshomaru's Office...
While InuYasha and Rin made their way home, Sesshomaru was having an unusual meeting of his own. Sesshomaru leaned back in his chair, his eyes glazed in boredom, as he watched Kagura breeze into the room. She sat down directly in front of him, "Long time no see, lover." She said with a smirk. Turning to Yura, who was still in the room, glaring daggers at her. "You there, fetch me some coffee, black. And, be quick about it!"
"I'm so sorry, Takeuchi Sama!" Said a seething Yura, then she looked at her employer, "shall I send for security, sir?"
Kagura turned and gave her a heated stare, "Why you impertinent little..."
"That won't be necessary, Yura." Sesshomaru assured, not taking his eyes from Kagura. Waving his hand nonchalantly. "She won't be staying long. You may go back to your desk," he said, his voice filled with distain. Then he turned his head to Yura, "And Yura, call my father, inform my father that I'll be delayed...slightly. Thank you.
"Yes, sir, right away!" Yura bowed and left the room, closing the heavy wooden door behind her.
When she was out of the room, Sesshomaru's attention turned back to Kagura. "To what do I owe this...'unexpected' pleasure, Kagura?"
Kagura eyed him venomously, then smiled sweetly. "Oh, I just happened to be in the neighborhood, and had an overcoming urge to see your handsome face." She let her dark eyes roam over him, giving him a lustful look. "How's the little baker girl adjusting to her new station? Is she enjoying my leftovers?"
Sesshomaru resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and stared back at her. "Leftovers? Hn. That's a new one. How could there be 'leftovers', when you never had the main course to start with? Anyway, it's no concern of yours, how InuYasha is." He smirked, as her right eyebrow twitched. "Now, if you don't mind, I have things to do." He stood and walked to the door, opening it. "You remember the way out of the building."
Kagura stood. But, instead of going out the door, she went to the bar and poured herself a drink. "Oh, so sorry to disappoint you, lover. But, I have come for a reason." She held her glass up to him, then took a sip. "Mmm. It's good to know that some of your taste in the finer things, hasn't changed!" She smiled and sat down on the couch, crossing her legs. "So, Sesshy, What are you and the little baker girl planning? For the holidays, I mean."
Since she wasn't about to take the hint, he sighed and closed the door. Walking to the bar, he poured himself a double of vodka. Then he walked back to his desk, "I told you never to call me that. I detest that name." He sat in his chair and leaned back. "What do you mean, planning? What do you want, Kagura?"
Taking another sip, she smiled at him. "Now, I didn't come here to fight, Sessh-omaru. I simply wanted to ascertain what plans you and the little cookie cutter, have made. Regarding the holidays. Summer will be ending soon. The winter break will be upon us, before you know it. I would very much like to see 'our' child during this tiime. That is, if I'm not intrupting any plan that you've already made."
Sesshomaru sat there, studing her with a bored expression, 'Holiday plans? Who does this cow think she's talking too? Like she ever gave a damn about the holidays, or about Rin!' He regarding her through narrowed eyes. 'Just what is this stupid slut up to now?'
When he didn't say anything, she continued. "I was thinking that maybe I could take Rin aboard. Just for Christmas week. We could do some shopping, go to plays, holiday festivies in Paris are to die for! And, there's always..." She stopped when he suddenly sat up straight in his chair. The look in his eyes, made the blood in her veins run cold.
Sitting up, he folded his hands on his desk. Letting shards of golden ice impale her, he said in soft tones. "Have you lost what little brain, you had? Weither or not, I have made any plans, is none of your business. And, even if I hadn't. What makes you think, I would allow you to take Rin anywhere?" Frowning, he leaned back in his chair once again. "And, in case you've forgotten. You signed over your parental rights to MY daughter. Remember? It was stated in the divorce terms," he smirked knowingly at her. "You got 2.5 million, and I got Rin. Remember? Personally, I think that I got the better of the deal!" He taunted. 'Take that, you crazy golddigging wretch!'
Kagura smiled, placing her drink on the coffee table. She stood and sautered over to the desk. Bracing her hands on the smooth surface, she leaned in closer to him. "Oh, I haven't forgotten how you and that little coffeeshop owning thing you married, stole my child from me."
Mimicing her move, Sess' eyes bore hard into hers as he faced her. "Stole? That's a laugh. You were more than willing to sell Rin, for whatever dollar amount you could get! So don't come in here, with the sudden 'good mother' bullshit! I don't have the time for it!"
"'Bullshit'? My aren't we on edge," she smirked. "Stop me if I'm wrong, but you seem a little more off these days. What's the matter, lover? Trouble in paradise? A little discord, in bakeshop heaven?"
"What in the hell are you talking about?"
Kagure smiled sweetly, leaning in closer to him. Their noses almost touching, as she countered. "I have hear a lot of 'I's' and 'My's' coming from you, but I have yet to her 'we' and 'our'. I can even count the times, I have called her names and you didn't even bother to correct me." She leaned back and cocked her head to the side. Crossing her arms over her ample chest, she eyed him. "Maybe the stories I heard are true after all."
He frowned, not caring for the smug look on her face. "What stories, you hateful cow?"
Her smile widened, "The story that's floating around, is that she's left you, already. And, so soon after the just getting back from your honeymoon, too. Tsk. Must be an awful blow to your ego, huh? Not to mention, that whole little mess with her grandmother, being hurt. It was in all the papers and on the tv." Holding up her hands, Kagura made a wide sweeping motion. "Billionaire's wife's grandmother, hurt in brutal home invasion." Leaning one hand on the desk, she gave him a mockingly sad look. "They said it was over some precious jewels, that was in her possession." She shook her head in dismay, "tough break for a new bride. What, did the little cakemaker, crack under pressure? Does she blame you and all your money for what happened? Is that the reason, the papers say it was over before it truly began?" She smiled when she saw one fine brow twitch, in irritation. She knew she had him. "What? Hit a nerve?"
Seething in anger. It was all he could do to keep himself from snapping her neck. "Get out!" He said, through tightly clenched teeth. "Get out of my office and my sight, and don't come back!"
Kagura, not wanting to push her luck any further, picked up her clutch and walked to the door. Before she opened it, she turned back toward Sesshomaru. Whose eyes where still on the spot left vacant by her. She grinned, and said, "If you and the cake maker change your mind, about...whatever. Let me know. I'm sure that you and I could come to 'some' arrangement, Sesshomaru." She said, with a very seductive laugh.
After she left, Sess sweeped his hands across his desk. "Bitch!" He swore to himself. Sending his drink, papers, and other items, flying to the floor. He'd never felt so tired in his life. He bent down and started picking up the mess he made, when his eyes lit on her picture. It was his very first picture they had taken together. They were both wearing white button down shirts and black slacks. He was seated, with Yasha standing behind him. Her arms wrapped around his neck. He picked it up and held it. Tracing her beautiful features with his finger. "So beautiful!" He smiled halfheartedly. With a heavy sigh, he put the picture on his desk, and sank down in his chair. Burying his face in his hands. The worst part about the whole thing, was that she had been right. Not once in the whole time she was there, had he corrected her about InuYasha. Not once! 'Damn! The slut would pick up on that, wouldn't she? The filthy tramp!' He picked up his briefcase. 'I've got to get out of here!' Opening it, he grabbed the files he'd been trying to work on, and threw them inside. He walked to the closet, to get his suit jacket, then left his office. 'Maybe father was right after all. It's time to stop running away my problem with Yasha. It's time to just clear the air with her, maybe we can salvage something out of this...mess!'
Looking up from her desk, Yura watched as he passed by. "Is there anything I can do for you, Takeuchi Sama?"
Sesshomaru stopped, and turned to her. "I'm going home. Cancel the rest of my day, Yura. I do not wish to be disturbed. Do you understand?" When the woman nodded, he turned to leave. Then he stopped to face her again. "Oh and Yura?"
"Yes, sir?"
"Thank you. Goodday."
The woman smiled and bowed to her employer. "Good luck, Takeuchi Sama!" She whispered.
A little over an hour later, Sesshomaru pulled his car up to the circular driveway in front of his home. Tirely he got out of his car, and walked inside his front door. He was on his way to his study, when he heard the sweetest sound. For a moment, he thought he was imagining things. Slowly, he turned towards the livingroom, and stared into the purple eyes he loved so much. "InuYasha!" He whispered, horsely.
Giving him a faint smile, she said, "Hello dearest, welcome home."
