*One*

Turning right and pulling into the gated drive way, he sighed. Parking before the steps, he rushed around and gathered his slumbering daughter in his arms. Just as he closed the door and locked it, his wife began to screatch.

"Don't forget my bags. And make sure the designers aren't too badly handled, Sesshy."

Watching as Kagura entered the house, Sesshoumaru thought of ringing a chord around her throat. Just to have silence once and for all. But before he could fantasize about doing so, the bundle in his arms began to move. Rubbing her back and allowing her to nuzzle his neck, she soon settled back into the relm of sleep. Just as he started up the steps, he heard shouting. Turning, he eyed his neighbor, as she pushed the young man with flowers.

"Get off my property, before I call the police." She exclaimed.

Frowning, the guy took a step back. "Come on Mrs. H., I just wanted to give Kagome the flowers and tell her I'm sorry."

Folding her arms, she eyed him. "For what, geting her arrested last night?" 

"That wasn't my fault. I..."

"Brought an underage minor, to a party with liquer. As a result, when the place got raided, she was arrested. So you see, if you didn't take her, that wouldn't have happened."

Sighing, he droped the bouqet. "If it counts at all, it won't go on her record. I had my uncle pull a few strings and...Tell Kags I'm sorry." Turning, he headed for the sports car.

Watching as he drove off, Sesshoumaru shook his head. Making to enter his new house, the woman called out to him.

"How old is she?"

Facing her, he eyed her. "Five."

Smiling, she hugged herself. "What I wouldn't give for them days again, when boys have nothing but cooties. Just know what you just saw, will one day happen to you. They always pick the wrong boys, before they find the right one." Turning she headed for her house. Pausing as she was half way in, she gave a bright smile. "Oh, and welcome to Osaka." 

And with that, he was alone.Releasing a breath, he entered and found Kagura yelling about her luggage.
