An: Thanks again for all the reviews! I'm glad you all enjoy my stories! And today, since I was having such a crappy, horrible day, I decided to try to make others happy by posting another little story. Hope this works and hope you like. This one is pretty much T rated (hit of sex) AND this story is a companion to Feud the third 'chapter' in this 'story.'

Deja Vu

Sesshomaru stared down at his daughter, a look of annoyance across his face. The teenager simply stared back, her replica golden eyes emotionless. Though her body was poised in a relaxed state on the couch he knew she was tense. He knew she was bracing herself for his punishment, his words. Yet…he just couldn't seem to piece anything together. He was too shocked by the news that had greeted him when he'd picked up his phone two hours ago.

His daughter, his perfect little Sakura, was being subjected to a Saturday detention…because she'd attacked someone! What was happening? His fifteen year old daughter did not engage in violence, not unless the situation called for it. She was too much like him, calm and calculating, to fall to such acts. But apparently there was something that could cause his flower to grow thorns. And that reason was enough for her to stare right back at him rather than drop her head like she used to do when she did something wrong.

A sigh escaped his lips and he reach up to rub the bridge of his nose, breaking the staring contest. Instantly she shifted her gaze to her lap, all at once submissive yet still holding onto her pride. For the hundredth time it struck him how much his little girl had grown. No longer did she where her shiny silver hair in the pig-tails or intricate braids her mother loved but instead she kept it high on her head in a single pony-tail. No more where her golden eyes too large for her childish face and staring around in wonder at the world but where now sized just right for her delicate, almost womanly face and viewing the world with an almost bored expression. And no more did she barely reach his hip while dressed in the frilly dresses her grandmother loved to see her in. No, she was now just taller than his shoulder and dressed forever in torn jeans and tanks.

His daughter really had grown, almost reaching adulthood. And the events of this day had furthered enforced that realization.

"Why?" He finally spoke with another sigh, his own golden gaze fixing on her once again.

"Because he deserved it." Her smooth voice held a hint of a challenge as did her gaze when she looked back up at him.

"Sakura," her name was spoken in annoyance and betrayed his weariness. "You cannot attack someone because you deem that 'he deserved it.' You are fifteen, you should know this."

"Believe me, father, I could have done a lot worse." Sakura huffed, looking away from him.

"I'm sure you could have but that is not the point." Sesshomaru continued to stand over her, trying to seem menacing though it was hard since she'd never truly seen him as anything but her loving father. "You not only hit but started a fight with your principle's son."

"He deserved it!" Sakura growled out, jumping to her feet. "Kazuki has always been annoying me, ever since I can remember, and not once have I done anything like this! He pushed me too far this time. I wasn't going to let him get away with it."

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, impressed that she had found the courage to, literally, stand up to him. "What, exactly did he do?"

That had his usually stoic daughter blushing and looking away from him, shying slightly. Her action told him something more about the situation; it had embarrassed her. When Kouga Ookami, the principle of his daughter's high school and a somewhat family friend, had called him up at work the man had been vague as to the actual reasoning behind the fighting. At first that hadn't been the main focus in Sesshomaru's mind, instead he had been floored by the news of Sakura fighting at all, but now he needed to know the reasoning.

"What did Ookami's son do?" Though it was phrased as a question there was no doubt that it had been issued as a demand. A demand that she would answer.

Sakura sighed and sank back onto the couch, her eyes never leaving her feet. "What does it matter? It's over and done with."

She had avoided answering, not a good sign. Whatever the boy did must have really embarrassed her for her to go against her father. But he was not giving up. "Sakura," he waited until she looked up at him. "What happened?"

Her front teeth made an appearance to nibble on her lower lip for a moment before she dropped her head and mumbled something.

"I didn't hear you." He sighed.

She spoke again but he still couldn't understand her and that frustrated him.

"Sakura!" He nearly shouted.

"Fine!" She shouted back, eyes glaring up at him. "He grabbed by butt! Happy now?"

He blinked at her, once again shocked. They stared at each other in silence for a long moment before she heaved a sigh and dropped her shoulders. Just like when she was a kid, she began to tug at her hair.

"Look, it doesn't matter. I over reacted, I deserve the punishment." She sounded defeated but all he really noticed was the blush staining her cheeks.

Anger began to boil inside him as her words fully soaked through. Someone had groped his daughter? His little girl! He was going to kill the boy. No one degraded his child, especially not in such a way. And she was in trouble for defending herself! No, this was not going to happen. Apparently his anger began to spill out of him because he suddenly felt a vibration start in his chest and Sakura was looking up at him in confusion. That's when he realized he was actually growling.

"Father?" Sakura frowned at him, wondering why he sounded like an angry dog.

Before he could respond a gentle hand was placed on his upper arm. He looked down and felt himself calm down considerably when he met the warm brown gaze of his wife. Rin offered him a reassuring, loving smile and patted his arm gently before turning to their daughter.

"Sakura, why don't you go work on your homework." The look in her mother's eyes told Sakura that the older woman understood the situation.

"Okay." Sakura gave a nod and stood again, heading for the stairs.

"Oh, and could you please check on your brother? He's supposed to be finishing his project." Rin called after her, her voice light and cheerful.

Sakura waved her agreement and continued up the stairs. When the young woman was out of sight Rin turned to her still angry husband, glad he'd stopped growling. It was never a good thing when Sesshomaru growled. But instead of that deep rumbling growl he was staring at her with narrowed eyes and his arms were crossed over his chest.

"What?" Rin asked innocently, leaning up to place a gentle kiss on his cheek.

He gave a short, annoyed growl, causing her to giggle. "Don't 'what' me, Rin. Why did you not tell me why Sakura had attacked that boy?" He already knew why Kouga had neglected to inform him. The damned wolf!

"Well, I didn't really have a chance to." Rin shrugged and headed into the kitchen to start dinner. "When you walked in you went straight for Sakura. Besides, it wasn't that important."

"Wasn't that important?" He repeated in astonishment. "That boy practically sexually assaulted our daughter and it's not 'that important' to you?"

"Nope." Rin shrugged again and laughed at the expression he gave. "Look, Sesshomaru, yes, Kazuki groped Sakura but she hit him for it. She defended herself and even admits she went a little overboard. Kazuki even apologized and also received a Saturday detention. Everything worked out, you're just blowing this out of proportion."

"How exactly am I doing that?" He challenged, eye following her petite body as she moved about gathering ingredients. "That Ookami boy has always been a thorn in Sakura's side and now he does this. Why does she have to be punished for something he did?" Now he was fully on his daughter's side.

Rin paused as she searched the fridge, slowly turning to face him with an eyebrow raised. "So now you're all for her fighting?"

"No, but defending herself is a different reason."

"Uh huh," Rin rolled her eyes and shut the refrigerator door, leaning against the counter so she faced her husband. "It's only self-defense until she can get away. Sakura full out pounced on Kazuki in the middle of the cafeteria. A good smack or punch I can understand but tackling the boy and repeatedly punching him…no."

Sesshomaru frowned at her. He would have figured she would have been defending what Sakura had done. "You seem a little eager to allow her to have this detention."

Rin shrugged. "In a way I am. It's not the detention or the reason behind the detention that I'm eager about."

"Oh, then what is?"

"The time those two will be forced to spend together." A grin spread across her face while a mischievous glint sparked in her eyes.

His frown only intensified, obviously not following his wife's train of thought. "Why would that do them any good, Rin? We've tried practically everything to get those two to get along since they first met and nothing has worked. I about think those two will hate each other forever."

Rin laughed suddenly, further confusing him. "You honestly are saying that? You know, people used to say that about us."

"What are you talking about?" Rolling his eyes Sesshomaru stepped up to his wife, caging her against the counter. "When would people say that?"

She giggled again, shaking her head. "Think back, Maru. Sakura and Kazuki's situation isn't that different from what ours was. Remember when we first met?"

He thought about that, bringing up those old memories. It had been kindergarten when he'd first been introduced to Rin, she had been smiling and offered friendship. Something about the young girl had caused him to reach out tug to her braid and tease her. Her response had been to push him down while calling him a meanie. From then on it had been like a war between them, each time they saw each other in the hall or in class they would pick and tease. It also didn't help their situation that their parents had been friends. He could clearly remember a few times when their teasing had gone a little too far.

"I suppose you're right." He finally conceded with a nod. "We did go after each other a lot."

"Yep and do you remember how that all changed?" Her smile was teasing with a hit of sultriness. Giving him time to think she broke away from him and began chopping the vegetables.

Oh, yes, he remembered the exact moment things had changed between them, a pleased grin curving his lips as the memory of that day assaulted him. It had actually been because of one of those situations that went a little too far. They had been seventeen arguing again during the middle of lunch when he had been the one to mention an 'unmentionable' subject (her cheating ex-boyfriend) and she had jumped him, punching him in the nose. He clearly remembered rolling around the tiled lunch room floor, pinning her down and, not strangely, finding her even more attractive then she already was. But because of that little outburst they had both been given detention on a Saturday.

Sharp, crisps memories replayed in his mind of that wonderful day. He'd already known he had feelings for the petite doe eyed girl but wasn't sure about her feelings. The day had started out with neither of them talking while they cleaned, Rin was pissed at him, but then he had to taunt her. She'd gotten so mad she'd tried to hit him with the broom. He'd blocked her attack and somehow knocked her back, ending up with her half on the teacher's desk with him pinning her there. For a moment neither moved then…how could he describe it? The passion floodgates broke…well, more like shattered.

Needless to say he'd found out how she really felt about him and learned what a liar her ex was. He had been her first and, proud to say, only. That day, trapped in that empty school while their 'guard' was off somewhere, was one of the best days of his life. Hard to believe that after twenty years, since that day, they were still together and utterly happy. They still fought and teased but that just made their life more interesting.

His smile slowly changed, turning more lustful as he stared down at his wife while she expertly chopped. Careful not to scare her he circled her waist with his arms, bringing his body flush against hers. Her startled gasp and the way she instantly melted into him made him smile wider.

"Rin, I remember clearly how things changed between us. I even remember what color your underwear was that day." His voice was low and husky, causing her to shiver and blush. "But, you know, I could always have my memory refreshed, I may have forgotten something."

"Oh, I'm sure you remember everything." Rin rolled her eyes, trying to quill the desire rising in her and hide the blush on her cheeks. How could he still cause her to act like the teenage virgin she was all those years ago?

"Still, a refresher is always good." He kissed her neck and turned her so she was facing him. Gently he claimed her mouth while his fingers found the buttons at the bottom of her shirt.

"'Maru!" Rin gasped, grabbing his hands. She tried to give him a stern look but there was no hiding the desire and need she was feeling. "The kids are right upstairs, waiting for dinner."

"You're point?" He shrugged, nipping at the underside of her jaw.

"You are insatiable." Rin groaned when he hit that sensitive spot below her ear.

"Only with you." His fingers continued their ascent up her shirt, slipping the buttons free. But before he could free the one right below her breasts she stopped him again. He groaned in annoyance. "Rin."

"I'm serious, Sesshomaru." She panted slightly. "I didn't bring up that memory to…temp you."

"Then why?" He pulled back, not the least bit turned off.

"To prove that this detention with Kazuki could be a good thing for Sakura." She released his hands and began re-buttoning her shirt. She did not need their kids to see her in such a state, especially their son. The last thing the eight year old needed was to see mommy and daddy in a heavy make out session.

Sesshomaru allowed Rin to fix her clothing, thinking about what she'd just said. She'd compared Sakura's situation to theirs. They had 'hated' each other but after being stuck together for detention they ended up being 'together.' That had happened because…he'd…

"No." He suddenly announced.

"No what?" Rin frowned at him, confused.

"She is not serving this detention."

"What? Why?"

"My dear wife, do you remember our detention?" He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes, challenging her. When her blush quickly returned he nodded. "That is why."

"Be reasonable, Sesshomaru. They are fifteen! I highly doubt that's going to happen." By the way she bit her lip he knew she didn't fully believe her comment.

"It's because they are fifteen that I say no." He huffed. "Sakura, I trust, it's that fifteen year old boy I don't."

"Come now, Maru." Rin pleaded. She could easily see his reasoning but she wasn't going to give in. "Do you really think Kazuki would do anything?"

"Yes!" He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I remember what it was like being fifteen, Rin. All the hormones and desires raging inside and having no control. The dreams that proved to only worsen the situation. Especially when the focus of those dreams is there every day, taunting you."

Rin's eye widened in shock at his confession as she watched her husband pace the kitchen. That was when the idea struck. She stepped in front of her husband, putting her hands flat on his chest to halt his movement. "Honey, please think about this."

Sesshomaru blinked down at his wife, startled by her sudden change in tone. Instantly his body responded to her touch and seductive tone. But he was not giving in so easily, not this time. "No, Rin." He growled, grabbing her wrists to keep her from further seducing him by touch. "I'm not letting her go. That's final."

Rin pouted up at him but she didn't back down. "Are you sure? This could really do her good." She could tell by the slight narrowing of his eyes that he was not giving in so she had to pull out her secret weapon. "There's nothing I can do to convince you?"

"No."

"Hm," she pretended to think of something, a mischievous spark flashing in her eyes. Slowly, and as seductively as she could, she leaned in. "Well, I was hoping to keep this a surprise but…Taisho has a party and sleep over on Saturday and Sakura was going to spend the night at Sango's for a project. With both the kids gone we would have had the house to ourselves. And I had so much planned."

That caught his attention and there was no stopping the evidence of her words' effect. "Like what?"

With a smirk she had learned from him she rose up on her toes and whispered some of her ideas into his ear. His eyes widened and his breath caught in his throat, instantly he hardened to the point of pain. She was playing dirty, very dirty…and he was enjoying it. Unfortunately, before he could begin to act on his desires she stepped back.

"But," she said with a sigh and shrug as she turned back to the dinner she was starting. "Since you don't want her to go, she'll be home all day. I suppose I could work on that art project for the upstairs bathroom. Maybe Sakura will be willing to help me."

Sesshomaru couldn't hold in the groan as he watched his wife sashay around the kitchen. "You do not play fair, Rin."

"I'm only stating a point." She shot him a cheeky grin from over her shoulder. "Oh, and since you are so determined to keep her from serving the detention, you can sleep on the couch."

"What!" He growled. "How does this earn me a night on the couch?"

This time she turned to face him, arms crossed over her chest. "You are going against me on something I am adamant about, hence we are fighting. Therefore, as is my right, you sleep on the couch."

"Rin," he growled again, stalking up to her. "No matter what you do or say, Sakura is not serving that detention with Kazuki."

"So you say now." Rin said with a nonchalant shrug before turning back to her task at hand. "Too bad too. I wanted your opinion on a few new items I bought."

"New items?" he raised an eyebrow at her.

"Mm-hm." She nodded, smiling to herself. "Kagome, Sango, and I went shopping the other day after lunch. I found some…lovely lingerie I thought you might like. I planned on wearing them Saturday. Oh, well," She shrugged again. "I suppose I could still return most of them."

Now she was killing him. With a groan he braced his arms on both sides of her, caging her against the counter, as he dropped his head to rest between her shoulder blades. "Most? Rin, please don't tell me…"

"Well, I was hoping to give you a preview, but since you're on the couch tonight…" She trailed off with another shrug, ducking under his arm to move back to her cutting board.

"Rin…"

"It's sad too. They're all lacy and red, just like how you like them. Matching bar, too. The kind you like; opens in the front, more for show then practicality…oh, and it shows off that tattoo perfectly. But, now they'll just go to waste."

Before she could say anything else, he snagged her waist, pulling her flush against him and caging her against the counter again. His lips smashed onto hers, demanding and consuming, leaving Rin helpless under his onslaught. His large hands gripped her butt and lifted her onto the counter, his body settling between her legs. Only when their lungs burned did he pull back, resting his forehead against hers.

"You, my dear wife, are not playing fair." He panted.

Rin laughed softly, patting his cheek. "I learned everything from you, dear husband."

Sadly, she did learn all her tricks from him and he knew she would follow through with her threats. What was he to do? He was too hard to think clearly and the slight rocking of her hips was not helping.

"Oh, come now, Maru, don't you think you could let me win this one?" She pouted again before nibbling on his ear lobe. "Just once?" She nipped his jaw, causing him to moan. Smirking against his skin she took hold of his hand and led it up under her shirt, to the front of her bra where he could feel the front clasp and the lace. "It'll be worth your while. Preview and all."

He groaned and claimed her mouth again in another demanding kiss. The moment he removed his hand from under her shirt and gripped her butt again, she knew he gave in. When he lifted her from the counter and headed from the kitchen she couldn't help but laugh. As she laughed, Sesshomaru had a fleeting thought; how did she always win?

Sesshomaru grumbled as he pulled up to the school's gates. Still, even three days later, he couldn't figure out how he'd lost this argument. Sure, his wife used sex to convince him, but was he that ruled by his desires that he would allow his daughter to spend the Saturday practically alone with a fifteen year old boy? Apparently so.

"Alright, you got everything?" Rin asked as she turned to look back at the silver haired girl.

"Yes, mom." Sakura sighed, hitching the bag higher on her shoulder.

"Good, Sango will be here around three. Call if she doesn't show up by three thirty."

Sakura raised an eyebrow at her mother then looked to her father and back again before rolling her eyes. "Yeah, I'll do that." There was a small smirk on her mouth as she opened her door.

"Sakura," Sesshomaru called before she slid from the car. The girl paused and looked back at him. Gold met gold in an unrelenting gaze. "Be careful."

She blinked at him in confusion for a moment before blushing and looking away from him. Before she left the car she responded, "You too."

There was no hiding the shocked look on Sesshomaru's face as his daughter shut the door and headed into the school. Rin stifled her laughter behind her hand and patted her husband's shoulder.

"Come on, Maru, let's go." She chuckled as he grumbled, pulling away from the school. "After all, I owe you a show."

This time it was his turn to grin. If the show was anything close to the preview he had the other day…he was defiantly going to enjoy loosing this argument.

AN: Soooo...what'cha think? A little insight into married life with a teenage daughter. And, for those of you who have read my very long one-shot-turned-two-shot, yes, their daughter has the same name. Fair warning, when ever I put children into these stories they will always be Sakura and Taisho. Reason being: those are the names I gave their kids for my Inuyasha 'continuation.' Also, for those who voted in the last chapter of Taken From You I am working on those stories! Please read my profile if you are curious for more info. Thanks!
