Chapter 20

The judge turned and thought a moment before looking to InuYasha asking, "This is all you have?" InuYasha replied, "Yeah wench the bitch is taking me for all I am worth. I will have to move in with the old man after this."

The judge glared at him hard before saying, "Your funds meet most of the debt but you still need to learn a lesson. That foul mouth and those degrading words are unacceptable in society today. Toga I am sorry but until your son learns to behave like an adult he should relive his childhood. I am well aware of the time he first grew up being very hard on Hanyu's that is why this time he will be human. Unfortunately, since he will need some old-fashioned discipline I fear we will have to place him in the care of a human. I'd hate for you to accidentally harm him with your strength."

Toga replied, "I understand your honor would it be alright if he remains in my care and Miss Higurashi here be his primary caregiver and in charge of his discipline. I will pay her well and there is plenty of room in the palace for her to have her own quarters." Of course, Toga's real motive behind it was that he was hoping the woman would grow to love his son and when he returned to normal they would mate hopefully.

The judge nodded her head in approval saying, "Miss Higurashi would you be willing to do the services necessary? I am sure Mr. Tashio will pay you well and give you a reference once you are no longer needed." Kikyo thought a moment before saying, "I'd be more than happy to take the job."

The judge turned to Kanna and Kagura saying, "Since you two made this contract together I am suspending you from being allowed to enter into Magic contracts until you both take the certification course. Now, Kanna you may leave." Kanna got her things together and watched as magic surrounded InuYasha turning him into a human child. Satisfied he was indeed going to learn a lesson she left.

The judge turned back to Naomi's side saying, "Toga Tashio would you please approach the bench. InuYasha go to your caregiver until the trial is over." InuYasha left in a huff but didn't say anything not wanting to find out if he'd be disciplined like a child in public. He sat near the female in a sour mood.

Toga approached the bench asking, "What is it you need me for your honor?" The judge replied, "What do you think would best affect your son Sesshomaru? InuYasha will improve with a little discipline and learning that you are made fun of no matter what you are. Sesshomaru I am unsure what would truly change his outlook."

Toga replied, "The only things I can think of would be to make him a commoner so he knows how it feels to be treated poorly. However, he may just come out of it resenting things more. I think him being loved unconditionally will be the answer. He had that once with Naomi. Perhaps if he had to be a dog until he could learn to love would work best. I fear however once he transforms back he may deny his feelings and abandon her."

The judge looked over saying, "Naomi approach the bench please." She moved until she was next to Toga the judge then repeated Toga's suggestions and his concerns. She knew him being a dog and her helping would work but odds were he would deny it all once he returned to normal.

She looked at the judge saying, "I will do it. If he does leave then you Toga will have to wait until you're sure he has learned his lesson before helping him. Can you do that because no matter what I will be helping you fight that hostile takeover? Also, I would like to show up every day to your company with Sesshomaru so he can work."

Toga was stunned but replied, "I will stay out of it unless my son comes and asks me for help. Just try to remember when he finally learns from his mistake that you knew it was possible. Try not to be overly harsh on him but don't just let him off either."

Naomi nodded she understood what he meant. The judge motioned for them to return and once they had she looked over at Sesshomaru and Kagura saying, "I am taking some funds back Kagura since you harmed Tashio Corporation by setting your contract to the strictest standards. She sent the money she took out to Toga via bailiff and the remaining amount was given to Kagura. The judge looked at Sesshomaru saying, "For your punishment, I am turning you into a dog. You will belong to Naomi she will take care of you. Hopefully, you will learn both love and patience."

Sesshomaru didn't like the agreement but at least as a dog, he could basically do as he wanted. Toga said, "Don't forget son you will still need to do your job and come to the office with Naomi as she has agreed to help with the corporate takeover."

The magic surrounded him changing him into a large white dog the judge said, "Be warned Sesshomaru you will be closer to you basic instincts than normal don't let them take you over." Kagura was seething mad vowing to get the bitch back for interfering with her plans. She'd visit her favorite man for dirty work Naraku for help. She'd become mated to Sesshomaru even if she had to trick him to do it.

She stormed out of the courtroom and headed to where she left notes for Naraku. Naomi picked up the leash as the judge said, "I hope you know what you're doing Naomi." She replied, "I will be fine Sango I know what I am getting into thanks for your concern, though."
