Kagura Kaze, Sesshomaru Taiyoukai, And lots of horrible, misserable, terrible tense moments of tension. Of course it's gonna be good.

Summary: Kagura Kaze is brilliant, independent and capable. Everybody tells her so. But when Sesshomaru Taiyoukai comes around she becomes the awkward teen she once was. But she'd gotten over Sesshomaru a long time ago, hadn't she…?

"And there's the senior picture of us all." Kagura mumbled flipping through a few pages of her twelfth grade yearbook. There they were. The whole damned group.

There to the right was Sango Tajiya gripping the neck of Miroku Monk tightly in one hand while smiling brilliantly into the camera. To the left were her two best friends, Yura and Kaguya with their weekly boyfriends. To the middle nearing her were Inuyasha and his second girlfriend Kagome Higurashi. Near to them were the ever-eccentric "Shintonai"… They were just names and faces now, though they'd all been close once.

And there in the middle was Inuyasha's stoic older brother, Sesshomaru. With one arm around her waist, and her leaning on him like they were a lovesick couple. But then again, they HAD been lovesick.

Once…

Hadn't they?

Kagura sighed and fell forward burying her face onto her pillow and groaning.

Sesshomaru.

Just the sound of his name sent chills through her spine. Kagura blinked twice and straightened herself. There was no time for this "fond" remincisning. She had to go somewhere or do something, but more importantly she had to stop thinking of Sesshomaru.

'You miss me. Just admit it to yourself you silly wench'.

Damn. How long hadn't she heard his voice inside of her head? Two years? Three?

Damn it! How many frigging times had she been there? Telling herself lies so she could call him again? Telling herself she'd die without him?

Kagura took a deep breath, got up and stuffed her yearbook under her pillow.

"I knew buying that blasted book would come back to haunt me!" Kagura thought angrily, standing up and reaching for her keys.

Her cell phone rang just as she was about to exit her resort suite. If it's Kikyo I'm going to scream Kagura thought venomously. Kikyo Shinmata had been having trouble with her boyfriends these days. Her first beau since Inuyasha and she's probably scared she'll screw it up. Well the thing between her and dog boy was trust. The thing between her and Suikotsu is… insanity. Well, Kagura amended, perhaps not insanity. Suikotsu was a nice enough guy when he was on his good side. It was the dark side that bothered her.

Anyways, it wasn't of her concern. Kagura stilled then, ignoring her ringing phone. None of her concern? Great, now she was starting to act like him. She sighed flipping her phone open and snapping,

"What?"

There was a pause on the phone before,

"Jeez Kagura, Midol much?"

Kagura glared at the phone. Yura. She should have known. What was it that the sadistic Yura wanted now? In Yura's opinion, everything. Her life was hell. Her damned parents had forced her to attend a cooking school and get a job as a chef. Yura was devastated. Her childhood dream was to run a beauty shop.

Superior

"Kagura, are you listening?" Yura demanded as Kagura mulled over advice to give her 'friend'.

"Not really, but do continue, I love listening to your ever so cheerful voice." Kagura replied stepping outside into the hallway.

"Oh my, someone really needs to get laid."

"Go to hell Yura." Kagura growled thinking of just shutting the phone. Yura was just too much trouble sometimes. And what Kagura needed less of these days was definitely trouble. Especially since her 'employees' were so damn spoiled.

"I'm already there!" Moaned Yura pathetically. Kagura sighed softly. I guess this is what I have to pay for stability in my life. Just when her directing career was taking off and becoming steadier, her friend had suddenly decided that she was her therapist. Why? No fucking idea.

"Alright, tell me what's wrong." She muttered caving. Yura was fun at times, and would always be there for her at least. Hopefully. "But you owe me." Kagura got into the elevator of the hotel hoping the problem wasn't too hard to solve.

"We're out of cheese." Yura said immediately launching her woes on Kagura. Making a face Kagura listened with one ear as she made her way into the lobby. Just as Yura was about to tell her about how the cheese had disappeared someone knocked into her.

Pain exploded at her temple as a suitcase came into contact with her head. She was aware of cursing and the hiss of soda or a liquid hitting the carpeted floor.

"Fuck! What the hell is your fucking problem?" she snapped furiously clutching her head with a burned hand. The scent of coffee hit her nose and she felt almost giddy. "Shit" She groaned as a trickle of blood flowed down her eye.

"Ms. Kaze! Ms. Kaze! Are you okay?" The familiar voice of the bellboy sounded in her ear as she used his shoulder to stand upright. Dizziness and nausea erupted in her creating an odd chaos. Perhaps I should've had breakfast this morning….

"Kagura?" A voice questioned.

She felt her body go rigid as she heard his voice. Oh, no, no, no….

"Is she alright sir?" Questioned the bellboy again. Kohaku, Kagura remembered finally. The boy's name was Kohaku. Ignoring the stinging pain in her eyes Kagura lifted her head to meet his eyes. "Get me an icepack. Now." She said, her voice hard, using her directing voice. Then she turned and looked at him.

"Long time no see, Sesshomaru." She said finally looking him over. He'd grown taller, firmer, manlier. Heh. Seemed perhaps she wasn't the only one who'd changed since high school. But his eyes were the same, the same calm golden ones that he'd locked onto hers the first day they'd met. And his hair, his wonderful silvery hair that she'd braided and played with every single day they were together.

"Hnn." He replied, doing his own checking up on her. She almost laughed as his eyes widened slightly at her much curvier body. "Seemed I've changed a bit since Shikon high eh?" She asked raising an eyebrow at him with her uncut eye.

Sesshoumaru averted his eyes immediately as she knew he would. Hadn't changed at all, had he? She smirked lightly. Still the shy old Sessh that she knew. Sesshomaru bent down suddenly, using a handkerchief to wipe off her phone, she'd probably dropped during the accident.

"Here." He handed it to her.

"Hmf. Next time when you want to talk with me Sesshomaru," She drawled boldly using his first name like old times, " Please don't take such drastic measures as whacking me with your suitcase."

As she'd expected Sesshomaru's eyes widened with outrage as he opened his mouth to protest. "Don't bother, Taiyoukai, I know how much you miss me." She teased accepting the icepack from Kohaku who'd returned finally.

Inwardly though, Kagura was fighting the urge to throw herself in his arms. Fighting the urge to break down and cry. The only thing that kept her standing was her abilities she'd gained from directing.

Kagura toyed with her shirt, mentally groaning at the condition of her clothes. It was just her luck that she was first, hit by a suitcase, and then drowned by coffee. Strong coffee. It was giving her a headache.

"You should change." Sesshomaru said quietly. He turned, grabbing his suitcase as he turned again and walked past her toward the elevator. She watched as he pressed the elevator button and then called over his shoulder,

"It was good seeing you again, Kagura."

She felt her face flush, and her muscles tense as the elevator bell rang and he walked in. Come on, wouldn't it be nice to talk with an old friend again? Her inner voice commented slyly.

We were anything but friends! She thought furiously as she watched him hold the door open for another young woman and her baby. But…a simple dinner to catch up wouldn't hurt.

"Sesshoumaru!" she called walking toward the elevator. She had to change anyway, so upstairs they both had to go anyway.

He paused and held his hand out so the door wouldn't close on her. Unfortunately it was closing anyway. She broke into a run, hard on her heels for sure. 'The things I do for him' she though annoyed as she slipped into the elevator colliding with Sesshomaru of all things.

Goddammnit. Why not the baby or her mother instead?

'Not good' she thought as he slammed against the wall of the elevator dropping his suitcase as he broke her fall. The baby began to cry. Damn. She really hated the crazy things she did when he was around…

A/N:

All right! Time to explain! This is a fic that my sis Sioned started but I'm finishing, well because she's too busy with Mayoke No Kaze and also this story just begs to be finished.

P.S When this and Mayoke No Kaze are done Sioned and I will be collaborating on another SesshKagura, but that might take a while. Remember people, R&R!
