Chapter Eight:
Oo0O0oO
Tao sat on his bed and watched as his father exit his car with the woman from earlier that day. Kagura was her name, right?
They looked to be having a nice time.
"Crap…" He mumbled, blowing a bubble with his bubble gum.
He watched as Kagura flipped her hair over her shoulder in an obvious flirting gesture.
Rolling his eyes, Tao glance back down at his little notebook and read "Operation: Get Rid of Kagura". The page was blank otherwise.
'This'll never work…' He groaned tossing himself onto his bed.
"Tao! Come here for a moment!" Came his father's gruff voice.
Sighing, Tao stood and ventured from the room and came waltzing lazily down the grand staircase.
"Yeah dad?" He asked, crossing his arms.
His father was currently chatting quietly with a maid, Kagura standing next to him---which was too close for comfort for Tao. Sesshoumaru looked up and grimaced at his son's casual attire.
"Keep Kagura company for a moment while I tend to some important matters." Was all he said before turning and heading into his study.
Tao quirked an eyebrow and looked down at the heavily made-up woman standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"Come down here and let's get to know one another, shall we?" She asked, sitting on a step and patting the one next to her.
Tao didn't say anything, he just did as he was told.
"So…how old are you?" She asked.
"14. My birthday was last week." He answered, sporting his father's monotonous voice.
"Well happy belated birthday." Kagura smiled a sickeningly sweet pearly white smile.
"Why? How old are you?" Tao asked, suddenly liking where this was going.
Kagura paused in re-clipping her hair and looked at him with wide eyes before laughing.
"Well aren't you a cheeky little kid. I believe that's none of your business." She smiled resuming with her clipping.
Tao shrugged. "I'm only doing the polite thing. So how old 'are' you?"
Kagura paused again.
"I'm 24. There, happy?" She snapped, wiping some of her lipstick onto the carpeted staircase before reapplying some more.
"Not really. Father never really liked younger women. He says they're too…'fresh'. Are you fresh?" Tao asked, trying desperately to hold down his laughter at the look of horror on her face.
"I…don't---You probably don't even know what that means do you?" She said, smugly.
Tao shrugged and crossed his arms again. He looked away towards the crystal chandelier before speaking again.
"Father says that women who're 'fresh' are too clingy and wear too much perfume and not enough deodorant." He said, not moving his eyes from the elegant light fixture.
To his utter delight, Kagura froze and from the corner of his eye, he saw her lean her head down and attempt to discreetly smell her armpit.
"Do you like my father?" Tao asked, finally looking back into the youkai's crimson eyes.
"Of course I do. He's charming and has good taste." She answered haughtily, scrutinizing her nails.
"In other words you just want him for his money?" Tao smirked.
Kagura shot up and snapped. "How dare you! You actually think that I'd want him for his money!?"
"Hey…" He said shrugging, "…if the shoe fits…"
"You little son of--- Sesshoumaru!" She suddenly squealed hopping gracefully down the stairs towards his father who'd exited his office only seconds earlier.
In his hands he carried a manila folder. Looking up when he heard his name, he caught the lunging Kagura and was shocked when she'd forcefully kissed him.
Tao scowled and growled low when Kagura opened her eyes and glared at him.
Sesshoumaru pushed her away and was guiding her to the door in a rush when she told him to stop.
"I just wanted to say goodbye to your adorable son first." She smiled.
Tao's eyes grew wide and he took a step back only to be yanked into a bear hug.
"Just you wait you little bastard hanyou…I'll be your father's bitch before you can even say, "Step-mother." She hissed so quietly into his ear that his father hadn't even heard.
Tao swallowed and smacked his gum. His eyes suddenly grew wide and he grinned. Slipping a finger into his mouth and taking the gum out, he threw his arms around Kagura's neck, squishing his hands into her hair.
"That's enough Tao." Sesshoumaru said to his son and girlfriend.
Tao pulled back and grinned a grin that made Kagura swallow nervously.
"I'll see you tomorrow at the office, then Sesshou…" Kagura smiled, turning back to Tao's father, taking the manila folder from his hands, and leaning up to kiss him.
Tao turned away and darted up the stairs to his room, not wanting to be in the same room when it was all sappy, yappy.
Oo0O0oO
Kagome sighed as she drank from a bottled water. It was all wrong. She wasn't suppose to be pregnant! It was so hard to believe. First, she'd been told that she was unable to have anymore children and now here she is----3 months later----pregnant.
Putting a hand to her slightly rounded belly, she sniffled. She'd been thinking for the past couple months that she'd been gaining weight. She'd thought that the bulge of her belly was fat!
But no. It was life growing inside of her.
It was 'his' child.
The realization had hit her hard earlier and she had just now finished her crying fest. She didn't want anything to do with that two-timing bastard----she didn't want to have anything that reminded her of him.
Come to think of it…she wasn't exactly miss fidelity herself. There was a guy…she'd been seeing on and off about a year ago. It was just sex. Sesshoumaru had been off on 'business' trips and was never there. So Kagome went AWOL. She'd only stopped when she'd realized what she'd been doing and was neglecting her own child's attention. After that, she'd never so much as ogled at another man.
Now…here she was. Separated from her husband, pregnant and living at her mothers. Hoo-boy!
Oo0O0oO
Kagura climbed into the limo waiting outside of Sesshoumaru's mansion. Telling the driver the directions to her condominium, she flipped open her cell phone and dialed.
After three rings the person answered.
"Have you the files?" They asked.
"Yes. I'm just leaving the Kagiyama mansion." She spoke, running her fingers through her hair.
"Good."
"Naraku? What good will these files do? They're just insurance documents and---" She paused and her eyebrows furrowed together in confusion when her fingers connected with something…foreign in the back of her hair.
"Kagura?"
Kagura didn't answer as she took hold of the glob and pulled----effectively spreading the gooeyness further into her hair. Throwing her phone down in a hurry, her breathing increasing, she whipped open a compact mirror and screamed.
"That little son of bitch!"
"KAGURA!" Naraku snarled into the phone.
"That little arrogant son of bitch stuck fucking gum into my hair!" She shrieked.
Oo0O0oO
Tao had just finished brushing his teeth when a knock on his bedroom door alerted his senses. Sniffing the air, he sighed when his father's scent invaded his nostrils.
"Come in father." He said, jumping onto his bed and pulling the covers back.
Sesshoumaru opened the door nonchalantly and ventured over to his sons bed.
Uh-oh…he didn't look happy. Not one bit.
"I just received a call from Kagura." He spoke evenly, stopping next to Tao's bed and crossing his arms.
"Kagura? 10 minutes go by and she already misses you?" Tao said cheekily, rolling his eyes.
"It seems that she found a wad of gum in her hair and she wanted to know how it'd gotten there." Sesshoumaru said, narrowing his eyes.
Tao gulped. "Well you see…the way it happened…was…um…GOOD NIGHT FATHER!" He yelled, diving under his covers and clutching a pillow over his head.
"Why did you do it!?" Sesshoumaru snarled, yanking the pillow from his son's head.
Tao smiled sheepishly up to his father, who was glaring at him and clenching his fists so tightly they were turning white in color.
"I don't like her father." He stated.
"So you put gum in her hair?! I honestly thought that I'd raised you better than that!" Sesshoumaru retorted, chucking Tao's pillow at a wall, where it bounced off and landed on the floor in a dull flump.
Tao snapped. "You didn't raise me! Mother did! You were never around to raise me! You were always on supposed 'business' trips when you were really with some woman!" He yelled, standing on his bed.
Sesshoumaru, who was known for NOT showing emotion, looked shocked.
"How…how long have you known?" Sesshoumaru asked, choosing his words carefully.
"I can't remember but last year I found an earring in your pocket that didn't belong to mother." Tao said, huffing and crossing his arms.
Sesshoumaru sighed and swept an elegant clawed hand through his hair, before sitting down on his son's computer chair.
"I am…sorry." He said quietly. Tao knew that, that revelation for his father was so utterly painful. But he couldn't accept it.
"I think mother needs it more than I do." He said sinking back underneath his covers.
Sesshoumaru crossed his arms and slouched in the swivel computer chair.
"Father?"
"Hn?" He grunted, showing that he was listening.
"Where did you and mother first kiss?" Tao asked, holding the blanket up to his nose so his father wouldn't be able to see his grin.
Sesshoumaru tensed and blinked up at his son. "Why?"
"Just wondering."
Sesshoumaru was quiet for a moment before standing and moving towards the door.
Tao sighed and was sure that he wasn't going to be answered when his father's voice broke the silence.
"Under the Goshinboku." He said, his hand resting on the door's handle.
Tao beamed.
"Thanks dad." He said, closing his eyes.
His father said nothing. Just opened the door and left.
Oo0O0oO
OOOHHH!! Sesshoumaru's opened up a little! ::GASP::
I thought that, that chapter was so boring as well.
Oh well.
Oh and just to clarify…Kagome is '3' months pregnant. Thanks for the great question waining-moon!
