Chapter 7

Katsumi felt trapped...not only did Sesshomaru want to woe her and cared for Ehuang like his own but there was also Chaoxiang who ignored Ehuang most of the time she was around. Ehuang seemed to like Sesshomaru better than Chaoxiang by a long shot because she kept asking if Sesshomaru was coming over and she always pretended to call him but then tell her daughter that he was busy.

That wasn't the case today, Sesshomaru called Katsumi during work, which was very busy, asking her if she and Ehuang would like to go out for dinner with him. She told him that she would think about it but by the time she got home she completely forgot about it until Ehuang ran to her excitedly telling her that Sesshomaru called about the dinner date with him. It seemed he planned ahead with this so she couldn't back out with Ehuang so excited about it. So instead of breaking her heart she called Sesshomaru and accepted the dinner offer.

Katsumi dressed her daughter in a nice blue Chinese outfit and herself in a black dress. Ehuang was jumping around excitedly as they waited for Sesshomaru to come. Ehuang ran to the door when she heard the door bell ran and cried out, "Sesshy! ...You're not Sesshy."

It was Chaoxiang and it surprised Katsumi as she came to the door, "Chaoxiang."

He looked at her and asked, "I didn't know we were going out."

Before she could answer Sesshomaru answered for her, "You're not, we are. Ehuang you look beautiful."

"Sesshy!" Ehuang cried out as she jumped into his arms.

"Sorry Chaoxiang," Katsumi told him as she locked the door and went down the stairs after Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru got to Ehuang."

"So? We can still go out," Chaoxiang told her absentmindedly. "Not like the brat's your daughter."

Katsumi turned and directed her anger he deserved at him, "She is my daughter! And don't you ever insult her again!"

"W-what? She's you're daughter?"

"I thought it was obvious by the hair and the scent...I wasn't going to marry you because of several reasons and that being one of them. This is goodbye Chaoxiang." She then turned and got into the limo before the drive closed the door behind her.

"I didn't like Chaoxiang anyways!" Ehuang exclaimed from Sesshomaru's lap.

"So where are we going to eat?" Katsumi asked Sesshomaru.

"I was thinking that we go to a Youko restaurant for old time sake," he told her.

"That'll be...nice."
