The Plan in Action

He stared at the back of her head and smiled as she shuffled threw different pictures. She

wanted to make the column in the newspaper just right.

The phone rang and Hojo quickly strode over to it. "Hello. The Kyoto Daily Paper.

How can I help you?"

"Hojo."

"Na-naraku?" he said in a very hushed voice. He hadn't heard from his boss since

getting

on the plane with Kagome.

"The plan goes into action… now."

"But…" the line went silent on the other end as Naraku hung up. Oh kami, how could he

do this to her. Leaning his head against the wall he reminded himself why he had gotten

involved in the first place. It was to get back at Sesshomaru for destroying his small

business company. So why did Naraku's plan have to involve terrorizing an innocent and

pregnant lady that just happened to be Sesshomaru's soon-to-be ex-wife? What point

was it going to prove? Obviously the man had no feelings whatsoever for Kagome.

He had to do it now before he had second thoughts and chickened out. "Kagome?" She

looked up at him from her computer screen. "Do you want to go to lunch now?"

"Sure." Kagome stood, grabbed her purse, and patted her very round tummy. She smiled

sweetly at him and he cringed at what he was about to do. "I'm starving!"

"Go ahead and get in the car, I have a couple of quick phone calls to make before we

leave."

"Okay." Shutting the door behind her Kagome took a deep breath. She was very much

satisfied with life as she got into the car and shut the door. "You just need to come out

sweetie so I

don't feel like a giant balloon anymore." Smiling to herself she laid back and enjoyed

watching the pedestrians as she waited for Hojo.

Coming out of the building she noticed how shaken he looked. "You okay?" she asked

as he got into the car and buckled up.

"Yeah. You feel okay?"

"Good."

smack Sesshomaru reeled back and tripped over his own feet. He fell to the floor with

a crash and didn't bother to get up. It hadn't been Kagome. It was Kikyo he'd been

hugging. What was wrong with him.

Your drunk you fool! His youki viciously roared in his ears. Seeing Kikyo's dainty hand

appear before his face he took it and with much grunting she hauled him to his feet. He

felt himself stumbling again as she grabbed him.

"Uh, you smell awful!"

He had just enough dignity left to glare at her, but his glare melted as he realized that she

was holding the divorce papers in her hand.

"Give me those!" he snatched them from her hand and carefully held the envelop, as if it

was his only lifeline that was keeping him alive.

"Sesshomaru, I looked at them. Neither of you have signed them yet, that gives me the

idea that Kagome might not be over you yet."

"These were sent months ago. And she probably sent them to me unsigned just to be nice

to me."

"Why haven't you gone to Kyoto yet? That is where this packet was sent from."

"Woman, get it through your head! She hates me. She ran away from me, and when I try

and find her she's with another man. She has moved on! And me…" Sesshomaru looked

at himself, at the room around him, and all he could feel was self loathing. "And I'm just

some arrogant slob that can't even love his wife the way she deserves to be loved.

Kagome needs someone who can love her."

"Do you love her?" He pleaded to her with his eyes as she glared at him. "Just tell me if

you love her or not!"

"Yes, I do, very much so."

"Good." Kikyo got out her cell phone and quickly dialed a number.

"What are you doing?"

" You are calling Kagome to tell her how much you love her." Kikyo held the phone out

to him. He grasped it with a clawed hand and put it to his ear. Someone answered on the

other end.

"Kagome?" he asked hesitantly.

"Sesshomaru! HELP! GET HELP! NAR-" Kagome was cut off and the line went dead,

but he understood what she had been trying to tell him. 'Naraku.'

Running towards the door Kikyo was close behind him. "Where are you going!"

"The airport. Kagome's in trouble."

She struggled against the bonds they had her in, but failed hopelessly. Glowering at the

people she thought were her friends she tried to wriggle out again.

"We're sorry Kagome." Sango said holding the gun in her other hand. "We didn't want it

to turn out this way."

The evil cackle that echoed from the room in the far corner made Kagome shiver.

Swiveling her head around so she could glare at the dark corner she spat, "He won't

come."

"You have no clue." Naraku said and gave another cackle that resonated throughout the

room.

Cackles evilly to myself. Time for the grand finale.

Dreamingillusion4eva: Kagome will not die! Although I might give her a close call.

LuCiFeR's DaUgHtEr: hm, Hojo bashing? Maybe.

RED CHICK: I haven't really thought of a reason why Kagome left Rin and Shippo at Kikyo and Inuyasha's house. Any suggestions for an explination?

Yoyo person: No, there's definitely going to be a baby.

By the way… should the baby be girl or boy? I'm really not partial to either and I can't chose.
