“The answer is no.” Her reply was firm, unreasonable, but
firm. There was no doubt in her voice, nor was there any weakness that he could
pinpoint for exploitation. She was resolved to her answer and nothing short of
out and out persuasion, also known as begging, would sway her opinions in his
favor.
“I do not see why you are being so unreasonable. Is it so
bad to have one around the house?” He kept his face stoic as to not let her see
how desperate he was for her answer. He could barely hold himself back as it
was and for her to see this weakness would be unacceptable.
“Unreasonable? Really. I don’t think that there’s anything
that comes along, every problem that needs to be solved, or anything related to
it.” She glared at him, her piercing blue eyes boring into him in a way that
only she could accomplish.
“What’s the worst that could happen?” From her expression
that was the wrong question to ask. He felt the first stirrings of fear flutter
in his stomach as he wondered what sort of lecture he was going to get this
time. He steeled himself, preparing himself for the explosion of rants and
tirades.
He sighed in relief as she visibly calmed herself; it seemed
as if she had decided to reason with him. He was ecstatic about this knowing that
he was a demon that could never be reasoned with.
“Alright, Sesshomaru. What’s the
worst that could happen? What about the time the last one got hold of
process?” She huffed, literally huffed, complete with her hands perched
delicately on her hips and her foot tapping lightly on the tile floor. He was
distracted for a moment by her sheer…..cuteness.
Gods he hated that word but he could find no other to describe the picture
that she was making.
A clearing of her throat brought him back to the present
question, “Firstly, mate, it was not half of Tokyo that would have been
destroyed but rather all of it. And this Sesshomaru handled the situation
before anything irreparable happened.” He smirked, his fang pressing lightly
into his lower lip as she rolled her eyes at him.
“Uh huh, and what about the one before
that when Inuyasha’s….er…..personal parts….were being
threatened?” She hardened her stare, knowing that he was going to come
up with another way around the severity of the situation.
“Again, the problem was handled accordingly and no damage
was done.” He was about to continue, tell her to give in, when the explosion
finally happened. He cursed himself for pressing his luck.
“No damage? No Damage!
I had to listen to him ranting for a week
and you say ‘No Damage’!” He was in for it now, he just knew it. He fought the
urge to cover his sensitive ears as she screeched, the high pitched keening
sound that only dogs could truly hear and appreciate for its sheer cruelty,
loudly in anger. “He called me, Sesshomaru. Every night, for a
irritability, and rage! All because you turn into a child every time one is
around! You literally turn stupid! For one of the smartest people I know, you
really are inexplicably dumb!”
Usually, when these rants happened he could handle her rage
well, he could disregard her comments as passion filled words that truly held
no meaning. But no one, not even his mate, could question his prowess in the
world of knowledge. Nobody called him stupid.
“Kagome.” She quieted quickly to
hear his words. “I hardly think that my desire to have another pup warrants you
calling me an idiot. I rather think you should be flattered that I wish to keep
pupping you, giving you life
to carry and bring forth into this world.”
She held up her hand for silence, another thing that enraged
him, but he knew she was being serious.
He waited.
And waited.
He watched as she visibly calmed herself before she spoke, “Sesshomaru.
I love you, truly I do. But out of the last 521 years I have carried, birthed,
and reared 347 pups. 347! All of whom have children. 723 to be exact! That’s over
a thousand names that I have to remember! A thousand mouths that I have to
feed! If we keep going this way, family reunions are going to be hell! We’ll
have to kick every human being off of Japan just so that we can all get together!”
She paused, catching her breath. Little did he know she was just
working up more steam.
“My vagina hurts!”
He sputtered, “What?”
“My. Vagina. Hurts! As in, I’m
tired of pushing a watermelon through a garden hose! I’m done. I don’t want any
more children. I love them all dearly, truly I do, but this is ridiculous!”
He sighed, being a great daiyoukai he knew when the battle
had been lost and when to retreat. But still, he couldn’t help but try one last
tactic; guilt trip.
“I just thought you enjoyed having someone to care for,
someone to watch grow and mature.” He watched her face intently and when he saw
no sympathy he gave up. There was always tomorrow.
But she surprised him yet again.
“I want to have sex wherever I want.”
He raised his perfectly arched eyebrow, “We do.”
“I want to be loud while having sex wherever I want.”
He still didn’t understand, “You never had to be quiet, that
was a choice of your own making.”
“Sesshomaru, I want to walk around naked and not worry about
offending anyone’s eyes.”
He could see that she was becoming exasperated with how he
simply wasn’t seeing the point, “Anyone who took offense to seeing you naked
would have to be stupid.”
There were a few moments of silence, until-
“You have empty nest syndrome!” She shouted it so suddenly
it took him a second to realize exactly what she had said, but by then she had
continued. “I’m surprised I didn’t see it before! You like having a pup here,
don’t you? You don’t like having an empty house.”
He glared.
And glared some more.
“What?” She was confused as to why he was looking at her in
such a way.
“Woman, this Sesshomaru is not a bird and therefore does not
‘nest.’ Therefore your allegations are null and void.” He was content in his
victory, except she pulled something that he wasn’t expecting; the I-Don’t-Believe-You
card.
“Uh-huh. Suuuuuuure
sputtering youkai lord. Maybe she would reconsider,
but for now she would let him see how it felt to lose an argument for once.
Ah, sweet victory.

suddenly decided to start writing it. Let me know what you think while I go
kick my muse. Thanks!
