Turtlequeen2: I'm back with another romance one-shot. This time with Kagura and Sesshoumaru because there isn't enough stories with this pairing!

Kagura: I get to spend time with Sesshoumaru? -blushes-

Turtlequeen2: Yep! Well anyways, I do not own any characters from Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does. Thanks to vbollman for helping me write this! You are awesome!

A Night Both Would Remember

The present reigning Inu no Taishou peered over the cliff of the mountain to watch the lands below him. His ever-so-calm stature, as usual, gave away no emotion to his followers. The wind blew through his long moon-shining, silver hair and haori. He absentmindedly ran his clawed fingers through his mokomoko-sama that was wrapped around his left shoulder.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" a girl's voice asked below him.

Looking down at her smiling face from the corner of his eye, the lord asked in his usual stoic manner. "What is it, Rin?" He hid his curiosity behind his cold mask.

"Don't you think the sunset is beautiful, Sesshoumaru-sama?" she asked, full of child-like innocence and awe.

He looked back out to the horizon of the setting sun and inwardly smiled, though his only verbal response was, "Humph." His icy expression softened in the slightest bit, though anyone could not ever tell. After the sun completely disappeared behind the mountains, he calmly turned his back and walked in the opposite direction from whence he came.

"Jaken!" Sesshoumaru called.

His bumbling imp demon servant ran towards him, waving his staff wildly. "You called, milord?" the imp croaked.

"Jaken, we will rest here for the night. Take Ah-Un to the river and then prepare camp," Sesshoumaru ordered sharply.

His servant nodded and took the reigns of the two-headed dragon. Jaken walked off, once again almost tripping over his Nintoujou.

Rin ran out in front of the imp, heading towards the sounds of the rushing river. "Oh! Jaken-sama, look at these flowers!" the girl exclaimed cheerfully, spotting flowers blooming by the river bank.

"Rin! Riiiiin! Get back here!" Jaken, shouted, still keeping the same pace. "Stupid girl, always running off! Sesshoumaru-sama will have my head if something happens to that worthless human!" he mumbled under his breath. He shouted again "Rin, do you hear me?! Do as I say and get away from the river!"

Sesshoumaru continued moving away from the edge of the cliff behind the group until he caught a familiar scent. Moments later, he felt a strong gust of wind blow his hair and mokomoko-sama forward. His eyes narrowed when he recognized the scent of Naraku. However, he knew it was not the cursed hanyou, but one of his incarnates.

The wind witch dropped down gracefully from her giant feather, her feet lightly touching the rocks of the cliff's edge.

Without turning his body, he glanced at her form from the corner of his eye. "State your business, Kagura," he commanded in his cold, monotone voice.

"Hmm…a cold prick as always, I see," Kagura stated smoothly. The daiyoukai only replied by walking away and ignoring her.

"I will ask you again; state your business for coming here or leave. This Sesshoumaru has no time to waste with the likes of you," he said, beginning to get annoyed. The flash in his eyes revealed it despite the rest of his face being frozen stiff.

She smirked and followed after him, not bothering to answer him straight off like he would have wished. Why would she easily give him that satisfaction? She was known to irritate him like no other and she vowed to keep up with that self-made claim for her own amusement.

"Woman, if you here to ask about me killing Naraku for you, then I would not waste my breath. I shall kill that hanyou, but not for some creation's freedom."

Kagura's eyes narrowed in anger at that comment, clearly feeling the sting of his words. "I did not come here to ask for your help in killing that bastard! I came of my own free will!" Getting a sly look on her face, she decided to taunt him in return. "However if you're offering...?"

Sesshoumaru turned slightly, perplexed at the response she threw back at him. Not letting it show on his face, he flicked his hair back behind him and continued to pace forward. To all outward appearance, it seemed that he was once again ignoring the witch.

Opening her fan slightly, Kagura smirked as she flicked her wrist, causing another gust of wind to go towards the arrogant daiyoukai. A true smile crossed her face as she watched the length of fur wrap around his legs, effectively stopping his forward movements.

Sesshoumaru thought her attempts to stop him from walking from her were amusing. The inu-youkai turned around to fully face the wind sorcress, the process unwrapping his legs from the embrace of his mokomoko-sama. "This Sesshoumaru would like to ask you a question."

Kagura was taken aback. What could he possibly want to ask her? Nodding her head slightly, Kagura give her silent permission, while in her mind, she was reeling with nervousness.

"After that filth is removed, what do you plan to do?" It was an obvious insult towards Naraku that he preferred to use.

Shrugging her shoulders slightly, Kagura stepped over to the lone tree that stood nearby. Within her mind, she was shocked at the simple, yet complex question. She had not given much thought to it. Folding her legs beneath her, she sat gazing up at the stars, hoping to find an answer that would not reveal too much of her thoughts.

She was startled out of her silent contemplation of the heavens by movement as the demon lord joined her. Where could she begin to answer?

"I guess I'd want to live the normal life of a youkai: finding a mate and having children," she said finally. Feeling the soft warmth of fur, Kagura turned her head slightly to study his face as she waited for his reply. A soft blush dusted her cheeks when she realized that Sesshoumuru was, in turn, watching her.

Resting his arm on his raised knee, Sesshoumaru turned his attention to the stars. Thinking that he was not going to answer, Kagura followed his example.

"Family..." He murmured so softly that she could barely hear him. The two of them sat in a comfortable silence with Kagura realizing that she would not get anymore out of him.

Sighing wistfully in his mind, Sesshoumaru leaned back against the tree causing mokomoko-sama to rest closer to Kagura's side.

'Family,' he repeated to himself,' with Kagura…that would be…nice.'
