LovelyJaded - if only you knew...'grin'. And yes, Kags is going to be ooc (maybe I should have warned you readers about that...)
Sesshomaru170 - Yes, Takara is a black woman but half-japanese. She kind of looks like Amerie, the same skin-tone. And the part with Kagome trying to sleep with Sesshomaru and get herself pregnant - 'grin'
Enjoy the chapter!
Past
“What are you doing here?” Sesshoumaru asked the girl, frowning.
The girl Takara tensed up and hugged her teddy closer to her chest. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes and waited. If there was something people didn’t know about Sesshoumaru was that he had a very keen sense of hearing. This ability was something he developed during the time his mother started acting...strange...
He was already awake when the wood creaked outside his door and pretended to be asleep when the person entered his room. He knew right away that it wasn’t the half-breed. Inuyasha might be stupid but he wasn’t that stupid. Nor was it Touga doing his routine check-ups. Sesshoumaru didn’t know why but he always came during the night, stayed for awhile and watched him sleep then left. It wasn’t creepy or anything, just very annoying.
So after going over the facts, Sesshoumaru came to a conclusion since thinking it might be Izayoi was out of the question. He made it quite clear what he thought of her when they first met.
She meant nothing to him.
“So are you going to answer me?” Sesshoumaru enquired and bore his golden eyes into Takara’s dark eyes. She dropped her gaze to the floor and opened her mouth...then closed it again.
It had been over a week since Takara’s arrival and Sesshoumaru had concluded that she didn’t speak. He knew she wasn’t a mute since he had caught Touga and Izayoi trying to coax her into speaking but had failed so far. He could guess why Takara didn’t speak because he could relate to what she was going through.
Sesshoumaru looked away and stared out the window displaying the night. ”Did you have a bad dream?” He asked after a moment of silence, staring at her from the corner of his eye.
Takara looked up and nodded. She clutched the teddy she always carried tighter and shivered.
“Is this why you are here?” He asked, turning his head towards her. He caught a flash of fear in her eyes when she glanced at him, “Dreams are only dreams. They can’t hurt you. So go back to your room and sleep. I’m sure they won’t appear again.”
Takara frowned and opened her mouth to protest but no words came out. She shut her mouth again and glared at him with shiny eyes before looking frustrating away. Sesshoumaru simply smirked and lay back down again. He sank underneath the warm covers and rolled onto his side. He ignored the sudden pang in his chest when he recognised the look in her eyes. It was the same look he wore when he woke up from his nightmare.
Sighing deeply, Sesshoumaru opened the covers behind him so Takara could crawl in. “Only this time, girl.”
He missed the smile which lit up Takara’s eyes and waited for her to snuggle up against him when she didn’t. Sesshoumaru was relieved. He didn’t want to point out that he didn’t snuggle and then push her away.
He sighed and closed his eyes, and strangely enough for the first time in a long time Sesshoumaru didn’t dream about his mother lying dead on her bed with her wrists cut open and bleeding.
After an hour or so, Touga woke up and got out of his bed to do his nightly routine. For some odd reason he always woke up in the middle of night feeling an urge to check up on his kids. He knew there was no point trying to go back to sleep without knowing if they were safe and sound
After checking up on Inuyasha, Touga headed towards Sesshoumaru’s room. His heart grew heavy when he thought of his son. Ever since their last brawl Sesshoumaru had distanced himself more from the family and spent more time alone. Touga knew slapping Sesshoumaru had most likely cut whatever bounds were left between them and he was losing his son.
Izayoi tried to reassure him that he and Sesshoumaru would work through their problems and suggested that he spent some time alone with Sesshoumaru since he hadn’t done that since he moved in, or spoken with him about Sayuri. Not once had Touga sat down with his son and asked him how he was dealing with his mother’s death.
It wasn’t like Touga didn’t care. It’s just that he didn’t know how to act around Sesshoumaru. He was so hard to read and always wore this blank look on his face which caused Touga to feel like he was wasting Sesshoumaru’s time, and in the end pushed everything ahead.
Clearly a big mistake.
Touga thought about this when he reached Sesshoumaru’s room and opened the door. Quietly he entered the room and walked over to the bed. He stood to the side and a soft smile appeared on his face. This was the only time Touga could watch Sesshoumaru without seeing resentment glow in his eyes.
‘I have to fix this somehow.’ He thought with a sigh and turned to leave when he saw black hair stick out from underneath the covers.
Touga furrowed and rounded the bed. Imagine his surprise when he saw it was Takara Sesshoumaru was snuggled up against. His front was pressed into her back while one arm wrapped around her waist and his face was buried in her hair. Touga knew if he tried to take Takara back to her room he would wake them both, so he left them like that.
Who knows, he thought, maybe it was the start of a beautiful friendship.
If only he knew...
Present
Kara stared out the window. Her eyes glazed over the outside world as Sesshoumaru’s black Lexus cruised down Tokyo’s streets. Other than Kyo’s in Dir En Grey morbid song playing in the background, the car was silent. Sesshoumaru hadn’t said a word since she and he drove off from the manor, and to be honest Kara didn’t have anything to say. Her mind was miles away. She was worried sick for her mother and wondered what was going on over at the manor.
Kara hated herself for leaving her mother alone to deal with her father’s anger. She knew the day she forced Izayoi to keep her secret from Touga, she indirectly forced her to choose between him and her, and that was a choice her mother shouldn’t had to take.
It wasn’t like Touga was going to hit Izayoi, or something like that, but Kara knew when her father came down hard on a person, he came down hard and Kara worried it might be too much for her mother to handle.
"We here," Sesshoumaru suddenly spoke up, startling Kara from her musing.
She sat up and looked around. Sure enough they were parked outside Kouga’s house. The lights were still on in the living room so someone was still up. "O-oh, yea..." Kara responded absently and unfastened her seatbelt.
She gathered her things and opened the door. "Goodnight Sesshoumaru." She said with a quick glance and turned to get out when Sesshoumaru grabbed her hand. "Kara, there is something I need to discuss with you,"
Kara froze up. Her stomach did summersaults. Her toes curled up when sparks shot up her arm and turned her insides into jello. "O-okay..." Kara croaked and cleared her throat.
Sesshoumaru nodded before letting go and Kara got out of the car with shivers still racing up and down her spine. She shut the door and few seconds later Sesshoumaru got out, shut the door and rounded the car before stopping in front of her.
Kara tried to shake off the sudden effects his touch had on her but was failing miserably. Her body grew hot. Her warmth throbbed and Kara knew, without looking, that her nipples had hardened and were pressing against her dress. She hoped Sesshoumaru wouldn’t notice and crossed her arms across her chest in an attempt to cover it.
"Tomorrow I plan to have a press conference and announce I’m Yukiyuri’s father. Is that alright with you?"
Kara’s jaw dropped. "You’re going to do what?!" She exclaimed and stared at him wide-eyed, "Are you sure about this, Sesshoumaru?"
"I am. I think if we wait any longer the word will come out eventually and I want to be the one telling Yuki I’m her father."
Kara’s mouth went dry. She searched his eyes and Sesshoumaru was serious. His golden eyes never wavered from hers. Kara gulped when her heart leapt to her throat and began pounding loudly in her ears. Sesshoumaru had the most beautiful, stunning golden eyes. She remembered gazing deeply into them after their first time.
A tremor raced through her body at the memory and her knees shook from it. Kara looked quickly away and licked her dry lips. "A-a-alright, come in...but Yuki might be asleep." She muttered shakily and turned away him.
Fumbling, Kara searched for the keys Kouga borrowed her while trying to keep her emotions in check. She couldn’t understand her sudden attraction towards Sesshoumaru. It took all her willpower to open the front door without her hand shaking.
Kara stepped in first and Sesshoumaru followed closely behind. The TV was on in the living room. Kara took off her shoes and walked down the short hall that led into the living room. In there Kouga was watching a horror movie all by himself while stuffing his mouth full with popcorns. "Hey Kouga, where’s Ayame?"
"Gone to bed," He answered, without removing his eyes from the TV screen, "Back already? I thought you were returning around midnight?"
"Yea...something came up,"
"Yea? Like what?"
"Hello Kouga." Sesshoumaru spoke up, coming up behind Kara. Her body quivered in response when his hot breath brushed her neck.
Kouga sat up and turned around. His eyes widened and blinked in surprised before grinning. "Hey man! What are you doing here?"
"Where’s Yuki, Kouga?" Kara asked, cut in on Kouga’s question.
"Upstairs sleeping," He answered, staring at Sesshoumaru few more seconds then returned his blue eyes to Kara, "The cub went down early." He chuckled then returned to his movie.
Kara nodded and motioned Sesshoumaru to follow her. They went upstairs and Kara opened the door to the guest room. Sleeping in the middle of the bed was Yuki. The covers had been kicked off. She was lying on her back, her left arm thrown over her head. Kara walked over to the bed and sat down. "Yuki honey, wake up," She spoke lowly and shook her.
Yuki whined and began to roll onto her side when Kara stopped her and shook her again. "Wake up, Yuki. There is someone here to meet you."
Yuki gave off a big yawn before rolling her head towards her and bat her eyes. "...mum... "
"Yes baby. It’s me. Wake up. I want you to meet someone."
"Hmm...now?" Yuki yawned and began to close her eyes. Kara smiled softly and shook her until her sleepy her eyes opened again and stared at her blurry.
"Yes Yuki, now. It’s a surprise, you will like it."
This caught Yuki’s attention and she sat up and rubbed her eyes. Kara looked over her shoulder and gestured towards Sesshoumaru to come closer. His gaze slid to Yuki before he moved towards the bed. There was something graceful and airy in his steps. Kara remembered as a child she had always been wowed by it and tried to mimic Sesshoumaru’s walk, but never got the same sway in her steps. She still wondered how he did.
Butterflies flapped wildly in Kara’s stomach as he came towards her, an effect he always had on her. She blinked and their eyes met. Kara flushed and looked quickly away. The bed dipped when Sesshoumaru sat down behind her and Kara became suddenly very aware of him.
Yuki’s eyes slid over Kara’s shoulder and she blinked before a smile lit up her face. "Sessho...Sessho-o-O-Sesshouwaru!"
"Sesshoumaru."
Yuki blinked then nodded, smiling. She looked back towards her mother and waited. Kara stared into her baby girl’s eyes and opened her mouth. Then closed it.
She had pictured this moment so many times before. Even practised. But now at the moment’s arrival, Kara didn’t know what to say. How to begin.
"Yukiyuri, there is something your mother and I wish to tell you," Sesshoumaru began saying when he realised Kara was having a hard time finding the words, which she was deeply grateful for.
"Okay..."
"Baby, you know how you have eh...always asked me...uhm about your daddy...where he is...who he is...well you see, he is...uhm...Sesshoumaru...Yuki, what I’m trying to tell you is...-"
"I’m your father." Sesshoumaru cut in.
Kara tensed up, her entire body going rigid. She pressed her hands together. Her palms felt hot and clammy as she waited for Yuki’s reactions.
Yuki blinked and titled her head to the side. "You’re my daddy?"
"Yes, I’m your...daddy," Sesshoumaru said slowly, seeming to taste the word daddy.
Yuki looked back at her mother and Kara nodded stiffly. Yuki nodded and lowered her head. Kara’s eyes began to sting when Yuki didn’t say anything and instead started to finger her PJ’s. She looked to the side and blinked the tears away when Yuki spoke up softly, nearly a whisper, "...where have you been? Why aren’t you at home with us?...was it something I did?"
"No," Sesshoumaru answered her firmly. He leaned pass Kara and placed a hand on Yuki’s shoulder. She looked up, her big doe-like eyes staring timidly and filled with emotions into his, "You’re not at fault, Yukiyuri. Your mother and I thought it would be best if you were raised in Europe by her but we were wrong and I promise to make up for it, alright?" He said, sugarcoating the truth.
But Yuki didn’t care because the next Sesshoumaru knew was his daughter throwing herself at him and exclaimed loudly. "Daddy!"
She hugged him tightly and buried her face in his neck. Sesshoumaru stiffened and his eyes widened. For a moment he looked lost, not sure what to do...then slowly he relaxed and carefully wrapped his arms around Yuki, carefully not to hurt her and rubbed her back.
Kara watched them and felt her chest swell seeing Sesshoumaru hold his daughter for the first time.
Half an hour later Kara followed Sesshoumaru downstairs. Yuki had fallen asleep in her father’s arms after bombarding him with lots of questions. Kara couldn’t stop a smile from spreading when she thought how patience and calm Sesshoumaru had been during Yuki’s interrogation. He didn’t seem bothered or awkward when she asked if he liked playing with dolls, because she did.
"Kara?"
"Hm?" Kara looked up, a bit spaced out. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow and smirked. Kara felt another flush spread onto her cheeks. "What?"
"I asked for your opinion."
"What?...oh, sorry! What did you say?"
Sesshoumaru stayed silent and trailed his eyes over her face. Kara bit her cheek and thanked her mother for her dark complexion. She hoped Sesshoumaru would mistake the redness for rouge and grinned to throw him off track. "What?"
"Nothing," Sesshoumaru answered and slid his gaze down her neck then slid it back to her face, "I was saying the press conference will be held early tomorrow. Preferably before noon. Is that alright with you?"
Kara’s grin fell from her face. That’s right...tomorrow the world would know her secret. Kara swallowed and averted her eyes to the side. "Right, yes...yes, of course!" She replied flippantly, hoping to ease some of the tension that had sprung up.
Sesshoumaru remained silent and placed a hand on her shoulder. Kara fought the melting sensation that spread through her body at the touch and she returned her gaze to him.
The air changed the instant their eyes met.
"Are you ready for this? Once this is out, the press will be like vultures and pry for answers."
Kara swallowed and nodded. She didn’t trust her voice would hold. Her insides were turning into jello again being this close to him. She knew in the past she felt strongly for Sesshoumaru but Kara was sure she had locked and sealed those feelings away. Then why was she suddenly acting like a fool around him? So hot and flustered?
‘Get a grip, woman!’ She scolded herself and stared evenly into his eyes.
Wrong move.
Almost instantly Kara felt light-headed. Her mouth parted and her stomach jumped. She licked her lips and Sesshoumaru’s eyes dropped from her face to the little pink tongue that darted out and disappeared behind her plump mouth. His jaw twitched before he could stop it. Without thinking, Kara stepped up to him and Sesshoumaru stayed rooted. Her fingers tingled to trace his face. She caught a draft of his cologne and her senses went into overdrive, causing her blood to rush through her body, roar in her ears and head south where her juices churned.
Kara sighed shakily when Sesshoumaru’s eyes darkened and intensified, barely hiding the smouldering look in his golden depths. She leaned in, her eyes dropping to his lips again and she sighed breathlessly. "Sesshoumaru..."
The change was in an instant.
Sesshoumaru pulled away and stepped back. "What are you doing tomorrow?"
Kara froze all up. A deep flush crept up her neck and spread onto her cheeks. She looked away, embarrassed and wished the ground would open and swallow her whole. "Eh...um?"
"I would like to spend some time with Yuki."
"Oh," Kara said, staring at a spot on the opposite wall. She felt the weight of his eyes, without looking and answered. "Tomorrow Yuki and I will be trying out dresses for the wedding."
"Alright."
Silence grew and the pent-up tension turned into something awkward and strange.
"Goodnight then Kara."
"Night." Kara answered him and the second later Sesshoumaru was gone.
Kara turned her head and stared at the spot Sesshoumaru had stood in and bit her lip. ‘What just happened?’
Outside, Sesshoumaru got into his car and placed the key into the ignition but didn’t start up the car. He leaned his forehead against the steering wheel and sighed - what just happened in there?
His mind flashed back to the scene few seconds ago and Sesshoumaru felt the stirring in his groin when he saw in his mind’s eye Kara’s full lips parted and waiting, her dark eyes heavy and half-lidded.
‘Get a grip of yourself, Sesshoumaru!’ His mind scolded him and after few minutes the pressure subsided in his pants.
Now wasn’t the time to lust for Kara. First thing first, announcing to the world he was a father then dealing with Kara for leaving him the way she did.
Done. I hope you enjoyed the (somewhat long) chapter and have had a great summer! Just one question - did Kara's attraction towards Sesshoumaru come too strong and too sudden? I wanted to show something was there but not too much.
Oh, well. Until next time mina-san!
