"Talking"

Thoughts

Sitting on her father's lap a six month old Sakura was chewing on her pendent watching her mother prepare her lunch of gruel. "Cut that out Sakura, before you ruin your pendent, Daddy almost missed your birth over" Kagura cooed to Sakura her disguised snide remark. She then proceeded to turn to Sesshomaru and giving him 'the look'.

"This Sesshomaru did not miss anything but deafening screams, harsh comments, and over reactions." Sesshomaru stated in his matter of fact tone. He then received yet another death glare from his mate.

"I'm sorry next time I'll make sure that you are the one who gives birth. If you had a kid just squeeze out of you what would you do? Laugh and say that tickles!" Silenced by his wife's comment Sesshomaru gently pulled out the pendent from his daughter's mouth and she promptly filled the vacancy in her mouth with his finger. Sesshomaru let a small smirk escape and in a glance it was gone.

"Mother? Are you going to talk me to the field and pick flowers with me now?" Rin came into the dining hall finding her adoptive parents in their usual positions. Kagura ranting at is head to Sesshomaru for his lack of parenting prowess, her father amusing himself with a scroll, or some messenger giving an update on the lands, and her little sister waiting patiently to be feed with usually some foreign object in her mouth.

"Coming Rin, let me give your father some chores to do first." Kagura smirked at Sesshomaru. He stumbled ever so slightly reading over his scroll and his eyes slowly rose to make eye contact with his wife to see if she was serious.

Yes, she was serious. Sesshomaru returned to his scroll scowling, Do what I am a lord I have servants for chores!

Kagura started listing, "Today we shall perfect your fathering skills. First you have to feed Sakura I'm late for my day with Rin. You are to play with her, she's has a very short attention span before things start to bore her. YOU are tochange her, you'll have to learn some time and its better now than later. Oh and don't forget to put her down for a nap in a few hours or she will never sleep through the night." Kagura started collecting her things for an afternoon with Rin, "Oh and don't keep her around the squawking toad, I think he scares her cause she starts crying every time he talks."

So would I, if I were this small, had such keen hearing, and had Jaken around all the time, silently agreed Sesshomaru as he nodded to his wife after every order.

A little after Kagura left Sesshomaru compliantly put aside his work to be resumed later. Sesshomaru then began to start, more like attempt, to feed his daughter. Within mere minutes her lunch was in his and her hair and Sakura was giggling as she added a dab of food to the tip of her father's nose. This behavior will not be accepted in the future. You are lucky that you are mine. How in the hell does Kagura do this every day I think I got three spoonfuls in her mouth and she only keep two in it…

"Shit!" Kagura shouted, then covered her mouth and looked at Rin.

"What is it Mother?" Rin looked up to her mother as they walked along the path through the forest to the meadow.

"Oh nothing important, I just forgot to tell Sesshomaru you have to make faces while Sakura eats to get her to open her mouth. Oh well he's a smart demon he'll figure it out." Kagura laughed to herself, realizing she was worrying about nothing.

Okay now after three tries of feeding her she is full but covered head to toe in...slop. Coming to a conclusion Sesshomaru decided to give Sakura a bath. I mean it can't be that hard Kagura gives her one every night and comes out dry…right?

"I hope she didn't get to messy eating because she can be a hassle in the tub." Kagura stated, thinking out loud.

"I think father will be alright, I mean he is The Great Sesshomaru, Lord of the West. He can handle giving a six month old a bath." Rin replied, imitating Sesshomaru's voice to the best of her ability.

"You're right Rin I shouldn't worry that much, for he is a great and powerful ruler that no foe can overcome haha!" Kagura added, continuing their mockery of Sesshomaru as they continued picking flowers for a bouquet.

In the master bathroom….

"Sakura do not eat the soap." Too late...she'll be okay right? She's the daughter of this Sesshomaru, the Great Taiyoukai of the West; of course she'll be ok.

A soft hiccup came for his daughter and when he looked down he saw a small bubble come from her month instantly catching her attention. Ok no more scented soaps, she thinks they are food. Sesshomaru thought with a sigh. Why did I allow myself to get into this mess... Sesshomaru keep pondering over it again. How he and Kagura came to be. The night he saved her from Naraku…

Flashback

Sesshomaru was traveling alone that night surveying the western lands for any signs of danger to his people; he'd left Jaken and Ah-Uh in charge of Rin. He was on a mission that night; he had caught a certain scent close by, too close to his lands. I will find you Naraku.

As Sesshomaru was speeding through the forest he heard a low groan. Sesshomaru stopped,

Where did that noise come from… wait that scent! It is him that I am sure of…

Sesshomaru immediately changed course, Tokijin drawn and ready to attack. As he turned through the maze of trees he came to a clearing and stopped. Sesshomaru entered cautiously,

This maybe a trap…hmm that area looks to have been occupied recently. Sesshomaru approached the area of flattened grass near the center of the clearing. There was a trail from the spot that led towards the tree-line. Sesshomaru began to follow the trail, stalking his prey. Blood, I smell his blood. He better not be dead, his death will be delivered by this Sesshomaru. Upon the end of the trail and reaching the point source of the scent Sesshomaru came across a barely conscious Kagura. She would have been assumed dead if it was not for her shallow breathing and the slight vertical motion of her chest. Her body was mangled, a gaping hole in the middle of her chest that would have fatal if her heart was present.

Sesshomaru glanced down at her body as he sheathed his sword. If she was not in this deathly condition she would be quite intriguing .His eyes began to roam over her curves, her kimono in shreds, midnight hair, and crimson eyes fighting to stay slit open. By the looks of her fresh wounds Sesshomaru assumed Naraku was close by, he could tell by the scent. Kagura's scent always had a different undertone of jasmine; as if she tried to cover the horrible scent of Naraku on her. Sesshomaru begansearching the surrounding area when he caught the barely auditable words escaping from Kagura's lips,

"Y-you came, I was hoping it was you." Sesshomaru looked down at her from his position a few feet away from her. Kagura paused to lick her lips, "You were the last thing I wanted to see before I died…" At that her breaths became shallower.

Sesshomaru looked at her, Is she? No, it is impossible, she cannot die! Wait… am I, Lord Sesshomaru, panicking? And of all things am I panicking over her, Naraku's offspring? Sesshomaru felt this unyielding urge to find Naraku and not only murder him, but to destroy him to the point of never existing. Watching over Kagura suffering, Sesshomaru unsheathed Tensaiga, Where are the underworld's minions, there is nothing around her dying body!

"Your effort is touching but it is useless." Kagura stated, she began to mumble something else but Sesshomaru was gone.

Coming back to reality with a final splash to the face from his mischievous child Sesshomaru ended up with a bath too. Ok, back to my lucky day with Sakura. Next is to play with her...skip that she had enough fun for today. The next job was to... Sesshomaru's eyes widened slightly from the thought…

"Jaken!"

"Y-yes me lord?" Jaken asked coming to his master's side waiting for instructions.

"Change her." Sesshomaru stated holding out his pup to the servant, "I need to change, bring her to me when you're done."

"Yes lord" Jaken said a bow and a little let down. Why do I have to change her! He's her father. I'm supposed to have more important tasks, I was once the leader of my people and now I am being told to change an infant!

He better be changing her himself! When I get back I'll test him on it! Kagura thought with a scowl on her face as she continued picking flowers with Rin at her side. It was then when she looked around the meadow and realized something. Wait, this is where he found me that night…

Flashback

Looking to Sesshomaru to see if there was any reaction to her whispered words Kagura smirked and continued, "He has my heart, and my life, in his hands now; there is no hope for me dog. Just let me die as I came into this world, alone."

If I am to stop this I must find Naraku. With that thought he caught his scent and Sesshomaru was off.

Not too far he came across Naraku perched on a boulder. "Ah, Sesshomaru, how nice to see you. You seem a little, disheveled, I would say," smirked Naraku, "Did you enjoy my present I've left for you? She seemed quite infatuated with you, always running off to follow you and your companions."

Sesshomaru sent a fridge glare to Naraku, "This Sesshomaru does not know what you speak of; she is none of my concern." Naraku let out a sickening laugh ad held out Kagura's heart giving it a sturdy squeeze,

"Come out my dear, join the party, don't forget your manners in front of our guest." With a painful scream Kagura fell to the ground a few meters behind Sesshomaru.

"You, you bastard! I will kill you for this!" She shouted from the ground with blood now escaping her lips and trailing down the side of her cheek.

"I've had enough of your games Naraku, what do you want from this Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru demanded while placing his hand on the hilt of his Tokijin. Naraku laughed,

"Ah Sesshomaru the question really is what do you want, I could give it to you with just the agreement of your compliance in my search for the Shikon Jewel shards." Sesshomaru, growing tired of this bickering unsheathed his sword,

"I will never alliance myself with a weak and pathetic halfling like you. Prepared to die Naraku."

With that Naraku released out his miasma to try to hide himself from Sesshomaru. His attempt was futile for Sesshomaru just followed his scent until he found Naraku in his tentacle form. As he slashed through the regenerating limbs the battle seemed against his favor. Naraku began to cackle as he grabbed onto Tokijin and shattered it in an instant,

"I have become stronger Sesshomaru, do not underestimate me."

Suddenly Naraku's fleshy piece morphed together to encompass Sesshomaru. Kagura tried her best to free him with Dance of the Dragon several times, but it was futile.

The longer he was in there the more urgent Kagura felt. She was throwing whatever she had left in her to free him until Naraku squeezed her heart and she fell crippled in pain.

"Sorry dear, it seems you cannot save your one hope to freedom this time, soon he and his powers will be part of me." Naraku laughed.

Kagura managed to glance up at Naraku in time to see the immense light come from Sesshomaru as the fleshy pouch burst open. Sesshomaru's missing arm then began to grow a new limb holding a sword. It was a sword made of himself. With that he swiftly moved in for the kill on Naraku while grabbing Kagura's heart. And just like that it was all over.

Kagura cried with joy as she watched the death of Naraku unfold before her. Finally her heart was her's again, or so she thought…

Alright, nap time now. Finally peace and quiet! Sesshomaru happily took his daughter from Jaken and went towards the master bedroom.

When Kagura and Rin returned to the castle later that afternoon, Kagura went to her bed chamber to check on Sakura. Kagura saw something she thought she would never see, on their bed lay Sesshomaru napping shirtless with her daughter on his chest listening to his heartbeat in her sleep. Kagura silently walked in about to take Sakura to place her in her cradle.

"If you wake her up you deal with putting her back to bed" mumbled Sesshomaru with his eyes still closed and he rolled over and continued his nap.

So that was my first battle scene I hope it went well and that you all enjoyed it! I'm trying to get a little backround about Kag and Sess in there, so let me know what you guys think!

You guys will find out more about Sess's sword in later chapters, but if you are impatient look it up on the Inuyasha wiki, it's called Bakusaiga and it's the sword Sesshomaru spawns in his battle with Magatsuhi later in the Inuyasha series.

And if you didn't catch on I'm obviously not following the series and I'm probably going to add my own twist for those of you wondering.

As always I hope you liked it feel free to review and give ideas. Peace

Kagura
