Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of its characters, any resemblance to any already published story is purely coincidental.

Well this isn't a long story but actually, when you sit in a city where temperatures are soaring over forty degrees(It's summer here, infact to heat water all you have to do is expose it to the sun for thirty minutes and it gets hotter than you can imagine), you can't really make up something huge very easily. I was giving chapters which were a little bit serious(except the last one), but this one contains some fluff. And I aint good at drawing word pictures about sentimental situations, which in other words is a type of spoiler, so please forgive me. Again R&R!


The Mask

Before someone could suggest something that would prevent them from leaving Sesshomarou decided that it was now or never, he had been in such situations before, but it was always because his own life hung in the balance, this was the first time that he was about to do it for someone else's sake. He rushed to Kagura's side and cooked up a fake argument about her being careless, and before they could be stopped the couple bade a modest goodbye and hit the road, still engaged in the false quarrel.

……………………………………………After some serious shit…………………………………………

"Close one back there!" exclaimed Kagura as they entered her apartment.

"If we are going to survive this onslaught by your overly inquisitive family members we better make up some nice story, and quick." said Sesshomarou proceeding towards the shower.

"We can do so tomorrow, today let me get a goodnight's sleep and calm my nerves, today was like a battlefield." Kagura repied back.

"I've been in many warzones, but this was by far the worst." came Sesshomarou's voice from the shower.

…………………………………………..The next day…………………………………………………

"Nice to see breakfast being served on the table." said Sesshomarou as he took a seat at the table.

"You deserve this much for saving our asses yesterday."

"So thought of a good story yet?"

"I haven't thought about it, have you?"

Sesshomarou gave a blank look.

"OK, so lets give it like this, we met at the museum of history in Cairo, that too accidentally………" she was cut off by Sesshomarou.

"But I said that we met over the internet."

"Well we weren't expecting one another and when we met, I didn't know that you were the guy I used to chat with. Are you even following me?" she cried as Sesshomarou was seen getting himself busy with the breakfast.

"Please continue." came Sesshomarou's reply.

"Well then lets just say that you had misplaced your purse and I helped you to pay for your ticket……."

"I ought to be the one saving the damsel in distress, besides I seldom misplace things."

"How many times do you want to save this damsel in distress? Leave some kind of heroism for me too."

"Go ahead." said Sesshomarou although his emotionless tone gave out some sort of a disappointing air about it.

"Then we found out that we were in the same hotel, got acquainted, realized that we were internet chat friends and then things went their merry way!" finished Kagura in somewhat of a triumphant tone.

"There is just one problem with your story."

"Whats that?" asked Kagura astonished.

"Reality! What you said just now does not have even a remote connection with sanity; the world isn't so remarkable that the absurd things that you said just now can happen. These stuff only happens in movies!"

"Stop being the realist monk for once! Besides it's OUR love story, we can mold it in whatever way we want to."

"No one is going to believe us." came Sesshomarou's answer.

"Listen, I never had a boyfriend, no one even had the faintest belief that I was ever going to have a boyfriend, now that I have one, my lovestory is going to be something that people are gonna remember for years to come!"

Sesshomarou realized that it was useless arguing over the matter, Kagura had made up her mind, and no one could change that now. 'Molding your own lovestory the way you want it to be' thought Sesshomarou as he concentrated more on his breakfast, 'No one ever gets a chance to do that in their entire lives, and we are getting one' he never realized that the hard and mature face of Kagura was just a mask for the schoolgirl inside her, which she kept locked away. The glitter in the eyes of Kagura told that she was enjoying the situation. 'Perhaps there's a different half of me too, hidden somewhere' Sesshomarou thought.

……………………………….After sometime………………………………………………………….

"Sesshomarou." called Kagura, who returned her gaze, "I think you are right! I was acting like a child, no-one will believe the pathetic story of ours! It was just that when we are young we have this fantasies that one day after a remarkable turn of events we are going to meet the perfect man or woman, then live the heroine's role we so often see in the movies, I just mixed the reality with fantasy I guess!"

It was the first time that Kagura had actually opened up to Sesshomarou and he didn't know what to say at this moment. "It's okay, I thought about it as well, the story isn't true, if we make it too realistic then Myoga will rest assure that we are a couple, and you know the emotional guy better than I do, lets leave a bit of shortcomings in it so that when he learns the truth, which he eventually will, it hurts him a lot less." Even though he said what a mature person would have said but his real motive, which he kept well hidden even to himself was perhaps to keep alive the childish Kagura, which he secretly enjoyed. 'If only all had the power to write their own story!' he thought.


Authors Notes: So what do you think, there aren't any Sess/Kagura stories joining the gang, (Except for Saphira's of course), so all you authors give this couple a shot! Inform me on your take of the story, and as always Read & Review! That's what keeps an author going, as they are our only rewards!
