Kagura's day out
Disclaimer: You know me, I don't own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does! Damn, the disclaimer is on my URL page. Ciao.
'Sometimes I don't know what to do. I care about him, yes it's true, but still he ignores me. Pretends I'm not there, and my heart weeps its sorrow. Why is he so cruel; so heartless and cold? True, I'm an enemy. True I am Naraku's offspring, but I'm still a woman. Don't I deserve someone to love me? Sesshoumaru is dangerous; he's my enemy as well. Why? Why do I sit idly by and watch him walk past? I bet he knows how I feel! He is so conceited, so calm, cool and detached. I swear he can read minds. He must know! Damn him! Bastard, why does he do this to me? I must tell him; must ask his help. I love him; or at least adore him and would do anything to be with him,' Kagura's thoughts swirled around in her mind as she rested on her feather suspended in the air.
It was too hot a day, she was melting and it was horrid. She gently called a wind to her and sought Sesshoumaru while seeing with it. She found him and knew exactly how to lure him out. She sent her scent along to tease his nose and laughed gently imagining his face crinkling at Naraku's disgusting scent intermingled with her own. She was correct in her assumption as a fresh pine scent fluttered to her nose. Her red lips tilted at one corner as a shadow crossed her patch of bright sunlight.
"What do you want now Sesshoumaru?" she asked bluntly. "Wind witch I know you did that on purpose. What do you want?" Kagura laughed and replied, "Ah Sesshoumaru, if only you knew. Would you be willing to grant it?" Sesshoumaru said nothing but stared at her coolly. "Perhaps," he answered. "If it is to kill Naraku, I will do that for my own satisfaction; not yours."
Kagura sighed and looked back into the blue sky. "Have you ever been in love, Sesshoumaru?" Sesshoumaru blinked once than said emotionlessly, "Proper demons aren't supposed to love." Kagura laughed at him again and he started to descend. She stopped laughing in an instant only to cry out, "Wait!" He didn't halt so she directed her feather to block him. Sesshoumaru stopped and looked at her. "Now that you're done asking pointless questions; I am leaving. Move aside." Kagura's thoughts whirled, what was she supposed to do? She looked into his rich, glowing, amber eyes and his stare unnerved her. "Sesshoumaru, what would happen if a demoness were to kiss you?"
Sesshoumaru's face didn't change but his eyes swirled with the tiniest bit of emotion. "I would have to either respond or push her away. Why should that matter to you, Naraku's offspring?" The title which he bestowed upon her made her feel numb. With the wind angrily churning she retorted coldly, "I may be Naraku's offspring, but never of my own free will."
In her anger she leaned over—as best she could on a floating feather suspended in mid-air—and kissed him soundly on the mouth. Impassive as always, when she pulled away Sesshoumaru just looked at her. A small flush of colour stained her pale cheeks and she was somewhat out of breath. When nothing happened for a few moments she grew impatient and asked angrily, "Why didn't you reject me or accept me?"
Sesshoumaru's mouth twitched a bit—as though trying to smile—and he replied, "Because you are my enemy yet your kisses are a small delight." He left her then and she slid into her feather with deep contentment. 'First step accomplished; yum, his lips taste like mango or something...'
Sesshoumaru's thoughts whirled and crashed together; as soon as he was sure he was out of sight he touched his lips with surprise and thought, 'I never expected that to happen. What sweet cherry lips she has. I wouldn't mind another taste...' He shook himself out of his daydreaming as he heard a distant screech of joy.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" cried Rin as loud as possible. He landed perfectly, as she came running. "Rin has so many stories to tell you, Sesshoumaru-sama!" she cried with enthusiasm. She looked at him hard and said softly, "Sesshoumaru-sama? Why are your lips bleeding? Rin is worried."
Sesshoumaru walked over to the pond and saw that upon his lips was the shape of Kagura's mouth, her cherry lipstick still aggressively determined not to go. He wiped it off and turned to face a distraught Rin. "It is nothing Rin, do not worry." She smiled an adorable smile and began to sing her own little song as she handed Sesshoumaru the flowers she'd picked for him. He took them and thanked her; emotionless once again.
Kanna was waiting patiently for Kagura to arrive. When she did, Kanna's face blankly stared at her. "Why is it that the young Inu daimyo has left his scent upon you?" she asked. Kagura stepped back and hissed, "Why should it concern you, sister?!" in anger. Kanna merely turned away and said, "Naraku is waiting for us." She walked away silently, her mirror glinting in the pale luminous moon's light.
Kagura was caught and she knew it. She followed Kanna shoulders thrown back, head held high; if she was going to die, so be it. Naraku looked around angrily. "Where have you been?" he snarled. Kagura almost sighed with relief. He had chosen his time of the month for this very day. She made eye contact with him and replied steadily, "I was in the skies." "Next time, you come back soon, or you will suffer for it, understand?" Kagura nodded and left quickly. She turned back and asked, "May I go out, Lord Naraku?" sarcasm dripping with her venom.
Naraku laughed his cruel, disturbing laugh and answered, "Yes, I need you to spy on that Inu scum. Not Inuyasha this time, I want you to survey Sesshoumaru. Bring back what ever you find out." Kagura made as if to leave and he added malevolently, "I may not be my normal self, but my demon counterparts tell me you smell of him." Kagura's eyes widened and she stuttered, "It was just a scuffle. I went too close to his territories."
"Yes, so he repaid you by kissing you? Or should I say, you kissing him? Kanna does have that mirror for more than one reason you realize. Since he seemed a little intrigued I need you to seduce him. He might feel something for you later and bring us assistance, ne?" Kagura fled and snarled at the passing Kanna. "Don't you dare watch what I do, sister!"
Sesshoumaru felt something was missing. He needed it, but couldn't quite remember what he had forgotten. An intoxicating scent filled the air and he inhaled deeply. This was it, the object he desired. A scent of skies and freedom, of cherries and radiance filled his mind as she landed next to him. "Sesshoumaru?" her voice called to him. He opened his eyes and demanded, "What do you want, wind witch?" She was surprised by his vehemence, uncertainly she took a step back and he relaxed his voice; let it slip back into its usual bored tone. "You comprehend that I am far more superior to you and that I could kill you with one blow if I chose?"
Kagura gulped and made her voice steady as she replied, "It doesn't matter. Sesshoumaru, we need to talk." Sesshoumaru stood and towered over her. "What makes you think, little Kagura, that I would listen to you?" He walked away from her and smelt her fear and something salty. With a small pause he asked, "Why are you afraid and why do you cry?"
Kagura fell to her knees as Naraku gently squeezed her heart, 'Gotta seduce him. Fuck it all!' Sesshoumaru watched her and waited; he would not be denied an answer. Kagura winced and stood. Swaying her hips and casually walking to him, she brought an arm around his neck and standing on tip-toes she placed her lips tenderly on his. She licked the sweet mango of his lips with great yearning and broke the kiss for the second time that day.
Sesshoumaru was indifferent. "I know what you are doing and it is not amusing me. I will not be seduced by a simple witch like you. Naraku's plan won't work. I will not be used." Kagura dropped her proud head and whispered, "That's not it, it is Naraku's plan, but I do want to spend time with you. I don't want to seduce anyone. But who am I to deny the man who holds my heart in his hands anything?"
Sesshoumaru felt a tinge of jealousy. Was she in love with her own 'father'? That couldn't be she was his...no—no, no! She could do what she pleased, what the hell did he care? "So you are in love with Naraku?" his voice asked as he shouted at his traitorous mouth to shut up. Kagura spat, "Yeah right! He holds my heart and uses it to make me do his bidding. Don't tell me you didn't know. That son of a bitch is watching us as we speak!"
Naraku was indeed watching them. But unfortunately—for him—could not hear a single word. He watched as Kagura spat with slight amusement and he watched as Sesshoumaru approached her, wrapped her with his single arm and lowered his head to her neck to inhale her scent. He felt his victory was coming quickly and laughed aloud. What he didn't know was what Sesshoumaru was whispering into her ear casually.
"Kagura, why don't we give him something to see? We will pretend his plan is working and I will go t the castle and destroy him. Simple enough isn't it?" He released her and stepped back, eyes glittering. Kagura's face was a deep red, she knew that he could hear her increased heart rate and tried to lower it by breathing slowly. It didn't work all that well and he waited for her answer with a smile in his eyes but not daring to touch his face.
Kagura nodded and managed to make her voice sound less strangled, "Yes, wonderful idea Sesshoumaru." Her love was boundless; she was finally getting her chance to be with him. A small smile played on her lips and he watched them hungrily, he loved cherries now. "Kagura, perhaps we'd better start pretending. What would you like to do?" Kagura's small smile expanded into one of a playful vixen.
"Well..." she started. "Why don't we start with a little nibble, ne?" She grabbed him again and leaned into him. She brought her face to his as his arm encircled her. She nibbled his bottom lip blissfully as he pushed her securely into his body. Firmly he kissed her and she parted her lips in invitation; with a sly smile he slipped his tongue in to taste the cherries in her mouth. She moaned against him then stopped, "Eww!" she said and Sesshoumaru drew back, offended. "Not you, do you realize if Naraku is watching us he's probably getting off on this?" Sesshoumaru managed not to laugh as he saw her evident disgust.
"If he is then maybe we should stop. Or..." he closed the gap between them again and pushed her up against a tree. "Maybe we should give him something to cum along to..." (Sorry, I am kinda perverted and have a kinda perverted sense of humour...Miroku's influence, not mine.) He kissed her impatiently and they waged a war of the mouths with an energy that throbbed. Sesshoumaru felt Kagura's hands slip to his chest as she followed the trace of his muscular curves. He smiled and let his hand explore as well. She giggled and he lifted her chin to look him in the eye.
She lifted her hands to trace the markings on his face with sincere adoration. He was so heart-achingly beautiful, so strong and independent. He knew something was going on and did not move as she studied his face and ran her hand along it and tangled the other into his long silvery hair. His golden eyes studied her, watched her ruby eyes glisten with unshed tears. He crushed her in a one arm hug and she rested her head against his hard chest.
"Why am I doing this?" she asked quietly. Sesshoumaru lowered his head to rest in the curve of her neck and they stayed there for a stretch of time. "I don't know, but I'll admit, this is strange. Aren't we supposed to be enemies?" Kagura sighed and sat down, pulling him with her. He even sat dignified! She carefully examined his expression, so cool and blank, how did he do it? He wasn't made out of nothing like Kanna.
"What should we do? We can't keep this up; we need to destroy the bastard. Should I take you back now or do you want to pretend to be trying to gain my interest?" Sesshoumaru wiped her tears away and replied, "We will destroy him, but first let's enjoy some time together." He blinked; what the fuck had he just said? Shit, he was in for it. But all he could think about were cherries, ripe, plump, deliciously sweet and tender cherries.
Kagura smiled and rested against the tree as he lazily lowered himself to rest on her lap. It was time to talk and plot.
