I don't own anything other than my wild imagination...
Hello again!
I'm back and here is the squeal to "Kagura's Legacy" I think you should read that one before looking at this one, you won't understand some things if you just look at the squeal. I hope that you'll like it as much as the first one. I don't think that this story will be as good as the first one, not to meantion more complex! All the new characters!
I want lots of reviews or I'm abandoning this story and swapping it for a new one. This is a threat I'm not afraid to carry out!
Enjoy this.
If I Had Words...
"If I had words to make a day for you,
I'd sing you a morning golden and new,
I would make this day last for all time,
And give you a night deep in moonshine"
Kagura lulled her month old son to sleep, he was beautiful beyond the meaning. Unfortunately he did not look exactly like his father as she had hoped he would, but her son was so perfect that it didn't matter…
Kagura kissed the little moon on his forehead and he cooed under her kiss. Kagura smiled and cuddled him close to her, my little Tatsuo… the name meant dragon. He had a mop of dark hair like his mother and when his eyes opened they were gold like his fathers. His skin was slightly fawn like her own while he had defiantly his fathers proud face even if it was only on a babe.
Kagura twirled with her son in her arms. "Shh… It's alright darling, go to sleep…" he cooed again, almost determined to stay awake now she had stopped singing. Kagura sighed and sat down in her chair by his bed "You're just like your father, too stubborn for your own good, but I love you and him so it doesn't matter"
Tatsuo burbled something unrecognisable then snuggled into her arms looking for warmth against the cold air. Kagura waved a hand and the windows shut with the help of her wind magic. "That's better" she lowered him into his cot and he fisted her sleeve to keep her there.
Kagura smiled "Don't worry sweetheart, I'm not leaving until you fall asleep" Tatsuo loosened his hold on her and snuggled into her hand when she laid it by his head. Kagura looked outside, through the windows and winced a little at the full moon that greeted her. I still have the same reaction to it… even though I'm not seven years old anymore…
Tatsuo sensed his mother's distress and nibbled his gums on her finger. Kagura looked back at him in surprise. "I'm alright, darling. Go to sleep now" she reached over and lit the scented oil that Rin had given her to celebrate Tatsuo's birth. The scent of lavender and honey was soothing and Tatsuo's eye lids were slowly drooping over golden eyes. Kagura gently sung her song for him again and by the end of the first line he was asleep.
"If I had words to make a day for you,
I'd sing you a morning golden and new,
I would make this day last for all time,
And give you a night deep in moonshine"
At the sound of his even breathing and gentle snore every once in a while Kagura pulled up his blankets to his chin and kissed one warm cheek before leaving like a whisper on the wind.
Kagura the Celestial Dragon Princess and Wind Sorceress had come a long way from her assassin days. Her three children, Mitsuki, Amami and Tatsuo were the joys of her life, she loved them dearly and acted like the perfect mother to them.
Mitsuki was proud and strong at sixteen, long gently wavy silver hair, a willowy figure and golden eyes tinged with red in certain lights. Her sword was icy like her fighting personality and icy purple markings on her high, elegant cheekbones. Her fathers grace and elegancy was what she had inherited the most. Her name had been especially chosen for her appearance; Mitsuki meant 'Beautiful Moon' and that fit to a T.
Amami was her seven year old sister and polar opposite. She had golden eyes and long brown hair that fluffed a little around her shoulders and waist like clouds, she had a dog's tail like her father and her warm, happy-go-lucky personality was so sweet that if she was sugar she'd rot your teeth. She was often seen in the flowers watching the clouds or giving out flowers to the servants and she always had a large bundle for her mother who was her special person. Amami meant 'Beautiful Sky' and her sunset appearance made the name perfect.
Kagura's name meant 'Dance of the Gods' that fit her unearthly beauty and her attacks of dancing blades and her dancing dragon as well as her secret attack the dancing storm. Her long, lush, straight glossy hip length brown hair with a waterfall quality of waves in unexpected places framed a beautiful face that made men stare, her ruby eyes were so rich in colour it wasn't normal, her skin was silky to the touch yet impenetrable to sword or arrow. Her figure was of a pure feminine woman, there was an old brown scar on her back and two mating marks, on her neck and the other over her heart.
You would have never guessed that this beautiful maiden was once an assassin of the highest creed, Kagura had left that life behind even though she did fight others to train them.
Kagura's father was Ryukotsusei the Dragon king who was dead by her mate's fathers hand, thank the gods. She didn't have a high opinion of her father or of her mother… Kaguya was the Celestial maiden of destruction from the moon, a royal in her own rights.
Kagura was a royal and a beautiful one at that, and any male demons who saw he were instantly jealous of the demon who had mated her…
Kagura peered into her bedroom and saw her mate laying down on the bed waiting for her. Kagura's lips were almost stained red now with the makeup she wore and they forever tasted of an exotic fruit that was delicious to taste, but only one other person would know that.
She slid into bed next to her mate. "Sesshomaru…" she sang in his ear, not tired as she slept in that morning.
Sesshomaru smiled and rolled over so he could wrap his arms around her. "Kagura… I thought I'd never have you to myself again"
Kagura giggled girlishly. Her mate was almost to die for…
Sesshomaru with his elegantly handsome looks of golden eyes and long silver hair straighter than an arrow in flight, with royal demon blood of the great dog generals, then the power that boiled just under the surface… Kagura was one lucky demoness…
She traced the crescent moon on her mate's forehead and then the red stripes on his cheeks. She was using his tail for a pillow, as normal, and it was soft and warm just like he was once you got through to the real him.
"I'm yours, Sesshomaru. Our son just needed me for a minuet"
Sesshomaru smiled, my son, our son, how did I get this lucky? "How did I get you?" he asked softly, running his fingers through her hair. She blinked curiously at him and he explained "I don't understand, how did I manage to get lucky enough to get you to be my mate and mother of my children? How did I get you in my life?"
Kagura rolled her eyes, the end of spring made him act a little strange but so far whatever was making him act up, she liked it. "You know, I get asked that a lot, don't have any of your meetings here again, the males are so irritating…" she sat up and he propped himself up on her elbow. "They don't get the face that I'm mated" her blue marks pulsed a little and he smirked at her when she felt them.
Sesshomaru pulled her back down "They're just jealous, and with good reason… beautiful" Kagura blushed and let him kiss her. Every kiss that he gave her felt so amazing… like every kiss was their first, when she knew that their first was a bit of a surprise but she had enjoyed it nonetheless.
"Sesshomaru?" she asked against his chest.
He paused stroking her arms to listen. Kagura looked up at him from thickly lashed eyes "Next time, you take care of our son, I'm exhausted…"
Sesshomaru chuckled deeply and nodded, Kagura laid her head on his heart and felt sleep pull at her.
Family was everything to her…
Rin and Kohaku had a lovely eleven year old child, Sota, Kagura's grandson as Rin was her adopted daughter. He was very humours, always tripping on something or walking into something, mostly the doorframe or the wall. Kagura smiled, she loved her nephew, she had adopted Rin when she had mated with Sesshomaru, she was her first daughter but Mitsuki was still the eldest blood daughter…
Rin was a queen now, Kohaku had become king and they had a modest kingdom over a bay, a moor of farmland and then the demon slaying villages too. Sota had his mothers smile and funny nature while he had Kohoku's looks exactly and his wide eyes.
Kohaku had tired to train him to defend himself but he was hopeless, although you did have to admire his persistence, he was a stubborn little thing, if you knocked him down he bounced back faster than rubber!
Kagome and Inuyasha were precious to her too…
Kagome had a baby boy just like Kagura, he was called Ash and his older sister Daisy and even older brother Rowan welcomed their infant brother with wide arms. Daisy had her fathers silver hair and golden eyes that were tinged a pretty brown like her cousin's Mitsuki. She was so sweet in nature it was a crime against the gods to hurt the three year old. She had no ears or claws or fangs like a demon so she was a human looking chiku-oni.
Rowan was six, he had his mothers black hair in large short locks no longer than his shoulders. He had her wide brown eyes and smile but his Dad's dog ears in black and fangs and skin tone like him, not to mention the growing attitude that he was picking up from him…
Ash had golden eyes and silver hair and was almost the spitting image of his father but he had little dog ears that were black at the tips and went white at the bases then vanished into his silvery hair, he had claws and fangs even though he was an infant. Kagome was so happy that she couldn't put him down, he slept in his mothers arms for the first week and Inuyasha was so proud that he didn't mind either.
They had a growing kingdom too that stretched almost twice the distance it began with. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had stayed close throughout, Kagura and Kagome had often been left home with their children while the brothers went off to fight a threat or defend a boarder. Kagura complained often that she wasn't a silly female that would stay at home waiting for Sesshomaru to come home, but as always she was left behind. But revenge was sweet, Sesshomaru found out the hard way that Kagura could be a very scary and worthy enemy when gotten on the wrong side of…
Kagura snickered silently, ah those were the days…
Kikyo and Myoga had stuck together. They had remained close friends throughout every ordeal and when Naraku had been killed they had taken their own way and went off travelling the contrysides looking for knowledge to learn and pass on, they had stayed for a time in the growing city of Rin and Kohaku and Sota for a while, Kikyo had adopted a young fox demon who's parents had been killed in by the a demon slayer by mistake. The offending slayer had cut off his left hand in penance for what he had done.
Shippo was very sweet, he had a lovely fox tail and fox feet the rest of him was human. It seemed that the tail thing was only for full demons. Kagura had only met Shippo twice and had liked him instantly but he was a bit shy and clung to his adopted mother like a sloth rather than a fox, he had opened up a lot around Sota and Rowan but remained quiet overall.
Kagura had fallen asleep at this point. Sesshomaru traced patterns on her back and her sleeping kimono loosened a little to expose the scar on her back. When she was seventeen she had ripped her own heart from her back with her magic's and that made her invincible to everything. Or so she thought…
In truth she had made herself even more weak than before as all it would take was one splinter through her heart and she would be dead. She knew that from experience, a monster named Naraku held her heart for a good seven years before he killed her, Kagome revived her with the Shikon no Tama that was now gone for good.
Kagura wasn't the only victim of Naraku. Her younger sister Kanna had endured twice as much, forced to live while every waking moment was torture… Kagura was happy in the knowledge that she was at rest now. Kanna's mirror was wrapped up in the attic, a little place she went to, to have some time with her sister… or she went to her grave, a field of the white flowers that grew naturally in her hair…
Sesshomaru knew that Kagura still hurt over her sister and was sad that it was the only pain he couldn't guard her from. He had his own scar, a thin line around his arm where Kagura had sliced it off, temporarily of course and she only did it to kill the monster Naraku by convincing him that she was on his side. He didn't hold a grudge against her… but Jaken did.
Jaken was rude, outspoken, unfeeling and not considerate for Kagura because of this and was punished often by them both or, if he was unlucky, Inuyasha would hear and he'd be in for it…
Kagura's story wasn't a happy one at the beginning but she had a happy time here now and that's all that mattered. Kagura smiled in her sleep and Sesshomaru smiled also before letting his eyes close and following her into the dream realm.
