ch21
"Kaden, how do I die?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I don't want to say..." Kaden said, sitting towards the window, his knees to his chest.
"Kaden, tell me," Sesshoumaru said.
Kaden sighed and said, "Since you'll probably beat it out of me if I don't tell, you die in a fight, ok?"
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow and said, "Who am I fighting when I die?"
Kaden ran a hand through his dark locks "Sesshoumaru I can't tell you anymore than I can tell Naraku how he dies." he tells him
. "I see so we both die in a battle but that is all you're going to say?" he asks Kaden.
"Yes." he says.
Sesshoumaru sighed. "Fine," he said, laying back on the bed.
"What are you doing?" Kaden asked, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm laying down. What does it look like?" Sesshoumaru said.
"You're staying in Koran's room, I hope you know. I won't be kicked out of mine," Kaden said, glaring at him.
"We can share this room , what's the big deal?" Sesshoumaru asks him as he looks over at him. "The big deal is I don't want to share my bed with you!" he tells him.
Sesshoumaru sat up and looked at him and ran a hand through his white locks.
Kaden glared at him, waiting for an answer. "Kaden, we've already had sex, what's the difference if I stay in your room, in your bed, with you?" Sesshoumaru asked, moving closer with each sentence.
Kaden stood up, a light blush tinting his cheeks as he turned to Sesshoumaru, pointing at the door. "Get. Out," he hissed, not making eye contact with him
Sesshoumaru pulled Kaden to his body and kissed him hard on his lips. Kaden pushed against him pressing his hands on his chest as he kissed him back. Sesshoumaru deepened the kiss as Kaden melted against his touch.
Kaden tried again to push away, thinking, 'I can't do this!' But as Sesshoumaru deepened it more, Kaden let his hands slither behind Sesshoumaru's neck, holding him in place and pushing him closer, his blush slightly deepening at Sesshoumaru's touch. When they pulled away for air, Sesshoumaru smirked at the blush on Kaden's face as he gasped for air, his eyes still closed. "Sesshoumaru.... I can't..." Kaden whispered, letting his head fall so that his forehead was against Sesshoumaru's chest.
Sesshoumaru rubbed Kaden's back. "Why not let your body enjoy this, I am not that bad once you get to know me. "So if I do what you want will you stay here and leave Kohaku and all of them alone?" he asks him.
Sesshoumaru thought about what he was asking."You're asking me to give up my pup?" Sesshoumaru asks him.
"The child will be fine Kohaku will make a good mother." he tells him.
Sesshoumaru thought again for another moment. "Kaden, I need an heir," he said as Kaden finally got his breathing under control.
"And you'll have one. But Kohaku can take care of it. I want you to stay here. With me," Kaden said, feeling a fresh blush adorn his cheeks and still not looking at Sesshoumaru.
"And who will help him raise the pup?" he asks . "There is Sango, Kagome and of course your half brother who is an hanyou himself so I think the baby will be just fine Sesshoumaru." Kaden tells him as he moves away from him and sits back down on the bed.
: Sesshoumaru walked over and sat next to him before gently pushing him down and crawling on top of him. Kaden stared up at him as Sesshoumaru's hair fell over his shoulders, creating a curtain on both sides. "Kaden, do you expect me to let my half brother, who would love nothing more than to kill me, to watch over my mate and pup?" he asked. "If you want to stay with me, than yes," Kaden said, not breaking eye contact as he did.
"I see so that is what it takes to be with you, and if I agree to this I will have you whenever I want?' he asks him. "Yes." Kaden tells him as he turns his head to look at Sesshoumaru again and touches his face. "Very well I will leave Kohaku and my pup to Inuyasha's care." he says
Kaden smiled and leaned up, capturing Sesshoumaru's lips with his own. Sesshoumaru kissed him back, digging his fingers into the comforter around them as he deepened the kiss, a low growl in his throat. Kaden chuckled when he heard it and entangled his fingers into Sesshoumaru's hair and pulled away. "But, you can't come just drag me out of work anymore, ok?" he said.
: "Hmm, very well." Sesshoumaru tells him as he sits up and looks down at his face. "Can you fix me something to eat, I'm a bit hungry." Sesshoumaru tells him as he climbs off of him.
Kaden sat up and stretched as he got off the bed. "Yeah, what do you want?" he asked, looking at Sesshoumaru. "Doesn't matter. I don't know what you humans eat here," Sesshoumaru said, standing up and following Kaden out of the room.
"Well I can make you a roast beef sandwich and give you a beer , I don't have any sake on hand.' Kaden tells him as he walks into the kitchen and takes the bread and roast beef out the fridge.
"Fine with me. But what's beer?" Sesshoumaru asked, making Kaden chuckle as he reached into the fridge again and grabbed a can, handing it to Sesshoumaru after opening it for him. "Take a drink," he said as he got back to making sandwiches for the both of them.
Sesshoumaru sniffed the can before taking a sip of the beer. "Hmm doesn't taste too bad." Sesshoumaru tells him as he sits down at the kitchen table. "Well I'm glad it's to your liking , you know Sesshoumaru you should start looking for a job so you can dress like we humans dress." Kaden tells him.
Sesshoumaru looked up at him and said, "What kind of job do you think I could do?" "Hmmm, well, I don't know. But, I hope you know that you'll actually be doing manual labor. No servants to do it for you," Kaden said.
"What?!, no servants but I am a demon lord all humans should bow at my feet and be lucky to even be in my prescence." Sesshoumaru tells him as he puts the can of beer down on the table. "Sesshoumaru you're not in the fedual era anymore." Kaden reminds him.
Sesshoumaru sighed and said, "Fine, no servants. But, I do want a high position." "You have to work for it, Sess," Kaden said, finishing up the last touches on the sandwiches before grabbing a beer for himself and walking over to sit down next to Sesshoumaru.
"Work for it, I don't believe I agreed to this." he says to him as he looks at the sandwhich that Kaden made for him and watched as Kaden picked his up and bit into it. Sesshoumaru copied what he did, and liked the taste of it.
Kaden chuckled as he watched Sesshoumaru, washing down his sandwich with his beer. "Sess, you have to work for higher positions. Everyone has to start somewhere. And you aren't starting at the top. Think of it like your 'foodchain.' Humans become your food, right? There's peasants, servants, barons, and so on. Then there's you, at the top. Work is like that, but instead of staying in your position forever, you get what we call is a 'promotion.' That's when you move up a level. So the servant's could become a baron, and baron can become duke, or however it goes," Kaden said, trying to explain how it works.
"I see." Sesshoumaru says to him as he places his sandwich back on the plate and how long will it take to get to the top position?' Sesshoumaru asks him. "I don't know it depends on how hard you work." Kaden tells him as he takes a drink of his own beer.
"Hm, so, if I worked harder than a 'servant', how long?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I don't know, Sess," Kaden said, shrugging. Sesshoumaru sighed and took another bite of his sandwich. "How's the food?" Kaden asked, looking at him from the corner of his eyes as he took another bite himself.
"It's good , different from what I would be having at home. but it's still good." he tells him as he takes another bite of his food. "Good don't worry Sess, you'll do fine." Kaden tells him with another smile.
Sesshoumaru nodded as he chewed. Kaden kept smiling as he ate, drinking his beer. When they were finished, Kaden stood up and took their plates to the sink, rinsing them off before putting them in the dishwasher.
Sesshoumaru yawned as he looked around the kitchen, "Alright I gues we should go to bed.' he tells Kaden. "Yeah I have to go to work in the morning." Kaden tells him and walks over to him. "Well think of it this way you'll live longer." Kaden tells him.
Sesshoumaru chuckled at his statement as they walked upstairs to Kaden's room. Kaden walked into his closet and pulled out a pair of pajamas and gave them to Sesshoumaru. "Here, you can wear these tonight. We'll go shopping for you sometime this weekend," he said.
Sesshoumaru took the pajamas and put them on and got in the bed pulling the covers up over his body getting warm. "Mmm so warm under here." he says to him as he rests his head against the pillow.
Kaden chuckled as he got in next to him, turning over and setting the clock. "Now, no destroying my alarm clock when it startles you in the morning," Kaden said, smirking at Sesshoumaru over his shoulder. "Alright," Sesshoumaru said, smirking as he wrapped his arm around Kaden's waist and pulled him against his chest.
Kaden closed his eyes and went to sleep with Sesshoumaru, Sesshoumaru wasn't sleep yet as he looked over at the window looking up at the night sky. he wondered what Kohkau was doing at this moment.
Kohaku wiped the tears from his face as he sat in front of the window in Sesshoumaru's room. 'Where are you, Sess? You can't leave us behind.' he thought, looking down at his stomach, which was starting to bulge. "He'll come back. He wants to take care of you. Of us," he said, trying to reassure himself more than the unborn pup inside came back to the castle and walked into Kohkau 's bedroom. "Kohkau what are you doing still up?" he asks him "Oh I couldn't sleep and I'm waiting for Sesshoumaru, do you know where he is, he's usually up here by this time." Kohkau tells him as he walks away from the window and sits down on the bed.
: Naraku looked at him and sighed, saying, "He's in Kagome's time, Kohaku." Kohaku looked at him with confusion in his eyes. "What? What do you mean?" Kohaku asked. Naraku walkked over and sat down next to him, saying, "He's in Kagome's time. With Kaden."
: "Kaden why is with Kaden when I'm here carrying the baby he wants, "What did you do?" Kohkau yelled at him, what spell did you use to sepereat us?!" Kohaku accuses him as he rubs his stomach and hits Naraku with his shoe.
: "I didn't use a spell. He grabbed Koran and jumped into the bone eater's well an then we went and got Koran back, but Kaden stayed, as did Sesshoumaru," Naraku said, rubbing the spot where Kohaku had hit him. "You're lying!" Kohaku yelled, standing up and running out of the room, the tears in his eyes falling behind him.
Naraku sighed and walked out the bedroom after Kohkau and sees him sitting on the floor." Kohaku you have to face facts Sesshoumaru left you." he tells him as he bends down to him and looks at his face.
"Go away! He would never leave me!" Kohaku said, letting himself slip into denial. Naraku ignored him and just sat down beside the crying boy. "Kohaku, he left, and he's most likely not coming back. He's left you to raise that pup all by yourself," he said.
Kohaku wiped his eyes. "I don't know how, I don't know anything about babies." Kohaku tells him as he looks up at him.
"I know you don't but you will have Sango to help you and Kagome." he tells him and since you're carrying the western Lord's heir you can stay here at his palace."
"But who will run his lands? I can't. I'm not the western lord," Kohaku said, looking down at the floor.
"I'm sure you'd manage. You are his mate, after all," Naraku said.
Kohaku sighed, his breath coming out shaky. "Naraku, I can't do this. I need him," he said, burying his face in his hands.
"Well you better start learning Kohaku you're in charge now." Naraku tells him as he rubs him on his back." Why aren't you taking over this was always your dream to rule his lands." he says to Naraku as he rests his head against the wall.
: "Because, it's the law that you take over until either he returns, or the pup is old enough," Naraku said. Kohaku sighed and said, "This is going to suck, being pregnant won't help." "Nope. But, you always have us to help," Naraku said. "Why are you so nice to me now, Naraku?" Kohaku asked.
"Why wouldn't I be nice to you?"Naraku asks him. "Oh I don't know you had me kill so many people." Kohaku tells him. "Yes but I have found someone I love so your services are no longer needed.' he tells him as he runs a hand through his own dark long wavy locks. "Well this still sucks, how do I know what to eat and not eat?" he asks
"I'm sure you'll know somehow. You'll definitely have to eat more meat, though," Naraku said. Kohaku sighed and said, "I'm going to be so sick of meat when this is over." Naraku chuckled. "What about a doctor? I'm sure I'll have to be checked up on," Kohaku said.
"How were you checked before?" Naraku asks him. "Sesshoumaru did it himself." Kohkau tells him. "That bastard how dare he leave me in this position!" Kohaku yelled. "Waht is with all the yelling?" Koran asks as he comes down the hall. "Kohaku is angry that Sesshoumaru has left" Naraku tells him. "Not just left he left me for your damn reincarnation!" he yelled.
Koran walked over and sat down on Kohaku's other side, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "It's ok, Kohaku. We're here to help you."
"I want Sesshoumaru back," Kohaku said, staring at the floor.
Koran sighed sadly and said, "I know, Kohaku. I know."
Kohkau sighed. "I might as well stop crying about it since it's not going to bring him back." he says to them. "Why don't we go downstairs and get something to eat?" Naraku suggests to him as he stands up and looks down at his former slave.
Kohaku nodded and stood up, Koran helping him. "We have to take care of that baby, now don't we?" Koran said, smiling at him. Kohaku forced a smile onto his face and said, "Yeah." The three of them walked to the kitchen and had the cooks make them something for dinner
Kohaku pouted as he sat down at the table waiting for dinner Naraku sat down beside him and rubbed him on his back you can sleep in our room if you're lonely." Naraku tells him. Kohaku head shot up and he glared at Naraku. "Mood swings." Koran says.
"I'll be just fine in mine and Sesshoumaru's room, thanks," Kohaku said, still glaring at Naraku. "Alright, Kohaku, take it easy," Koran said. Kohaku sighed in frustration as the food was quickly brought out and set on the table, their plates soon after
Kohaku dug into the food, he was all the sudden hungry "Mm this is so good." he tells them as he bites down on a piece of bread. Naraku and Koran looked at him as he pigged out.
Koran held back a laugh and said, "I guess the baby's really hungry." Naraku just nodded as he watched Kohaku with a raised eyebrow before fixing his own plate, Koran following soon after.
: Kohaku looked at them and licked his lips as he drank down his juice and put more meat on his plate. Koran cut his meat unlike Kohkau who just shoved it into his mouth.
"Kohaku, easy," Naraku said when meat fell from Kohaku's mouth because it didn't fit. Naraku sighed and pulled Kohaku's plate to him and cut the meat before pushing it back and said, "Take smaller bites. You don't want to choke yourself."
Kohkau took the smaller piece and put it in his mouth and chewed his meat the maid came over and filled Kohkau's glass back up and walked away . Kohaku drank more of the juice and finally took a breath to breathe
: "Good grief, Kohaku," Koran said, patting his back as he swallowed wrong.
"What's gotten into me? I never eat like that," Kohaku said.
"The pup needed food, so you gave it. That's all. But, you need to learn to control that urge," Naraku said.
"What are you trying to say that I am fat?" he growled as he ate more of the food.
Koran shook his head Naraku was digging himself into a big hole. "No I didn't say you were fat I just said control the urge." Naraku tells him.
Kohaku looked at him from the corner of his eye, narrowing it. Naraku sighed and said, "Alright, choke yourself. See if I care." He ignored Kohaku's glare and continued to eat his meal, Koran sighing on Kohaku's other side as Naraku kept digging.
Kohaku went back to eating his meal. "Um Naraku please be nice to the little mother before he attacks you." Koran says to him as he drinks his sake.
"Me?, he's the one glaring at me." Naraku says to him.
"You're the one getting on his nerves," Koran said, chuckling. Naraku sighed, finishing his meal. "I'll be walking outside," he said, standing up and walking out of the room.
Koran chuckled again and said, "That's Naraku for you." Kohaku sighed and said, "I was close to hitting him."
"Don't be too hard on him. He's just trying to help," Koran said, smiling at his friend, taking a bite of his food.
"Yeah I know just when I look at his face I see Kaden and it's just so weird that he wants to be with Kaden when he wouldn't leave me the hell alone you remember how Sesshoumaru was when we were staying at Naraku's castle." Kohaku says to him.
"Yes I remember." he says.
"So then why would he act that way if he wanted Naraku?" Kohaku asked. Koran sighed and said, "I don't know. I'm best friends with Kaden in my time, while here Naraku and Sesshoumaru are enemies. So I can't tell you what he's thinking."
"There both idiots." Kohaku tells him as he goes back to eating. Koran finished his male and yawned. Kohaku finished his as well and got up from the table.
"Where are you going?" Koran asked him.
"Out to look up at the sky." Kohaku tells him.
"Naraku is out there." he tells him. "
"I know." Kohaku tells him and walks toward the back. to look out.
Naraku found a spot in the grass and laid down on his back, crossing his arms behind his head and his right ankle over the other. He sighed and looked for different constellations in the stars. He didn't even flinch when Kohaku walked out and sat next to him before laying down as well. "Sorry. About the way I acted in there," he said.
Naraku sighed and looked over at him "Kohaku I know this is all crazy for you but I can be a friend it doesn't have to be like it was these past years." Naraku tells him.
"How can it be that way when you had me kill all those innocent people so many times?" he asks Naraku.
"It can be nice if you want have I attacked you once since Koran has come?" he asked.
"No." Kohaku says to him.
"Then doesn't that say something? I'm not completely evil, you know. And I think Koran's actually changing me more," Naraku said.
"Yeah, I can see that," Kohaku said.
Naraku nodded and said, "I'm glad that I found him."
"But you will respect me." Naraku tells him as he he continues to look up at the stars.
"Fine I'll respect you, but I can't say what I'll do when my mood swings take over." Kohaku tells him as he rubs his belly.
Naraku chuckled, saying, "That will be very interesting."
Kohaku sighed and said, "But I just wish Sesshoumaru would be here to help me. It is his pup after all."
"I know. But, to tell you the truth, I was hardly surprised when he left," Naraku said, looking back up at the stars.
"Yeah I know I thought he would bring Kaden back, what does Kaden have that I don't?' he asks him. Naraku sighed "I think Sesshoumaru just wanted a version of me he could control." Naraku tells him.
"I just thought that I would be enough for him... but... I guess I was wrong," Kohaku said, staring at the stars as he rubbed his stomach.
Naraku nodded and said, "He might come back, though. You never know."
"Yeah. Or, he might never come back. You never know," Kohaku said. He stood up and said, "I think I'm going to head in now. I probably have a lot of things to do tomorrow.
Naraku sat up and looked at Kohaku." Alright night Kohaku." Naraku tells him Kohaku nods his head and goes back inside the palace and back up the steps and to his bedroom and closes the door behind him and lays down in the bed.
: He sighed as he looked out the window for a minute. 'Sess, I hope you come back to me...' he thought before letting himself drift to sleep.
Naraku walked back into the castle to see Koran helping the maids with the dishes. "Koran, you ready to go to bed?" he asked, walking up to his mate and wrapping his arms around his waist from behind him.
"Yeah, just give me a couple of minutes though, ok?" Koran asked, turning his face to look at Naraku and kissed him on his lips.
"Alright." Naraku tells him as he sits down at the table and waits for Koran to finish helping the maids. Koran finally finished helping the maids.
"Okay we can go to bed." he tells Naraku with a smile on his face and takes his hand in his. Naraku stood up and walked out the kitchen with Koran. "You two make up?" Koran asked him. "Yes but he misses Sesshoumaru." Naraku tells him.
I can see why. He needs him to be here to help him take care of the baby," Koran said. "Yeah. I'm debating on going back to your time and beating some sense into him," Naraku said. Koran chuckled and said, "I would help you. Kohaku doesn't deserve to be abandoned. After all, Sesshoumaru wanted this pup.""And If I go I want you to stay here and help take care of Kohaku." Naraku tells him as they go up to their bedroom. "Hmm, why not take all three of us." Koran suggest if he sees Kohaku face to face that might make him think but we should wait till Kohaku is like showing."Koran tells him.
"That's a good idea, actually," Naraku said as they walked into their room. "Yeah. Then he and Kohaku can talk it out or whatever they want to do," Koran said, smiling, as he changed and got into bed.
: Naraku changed his clothes as well and got into bed and kissed Koran on his lips. and pulled the blankets up over them."Goodnight." he says and pulls him to his body.
Koran smiled at him and said, "Goodnight."He huddled into his chest before letting himself fall asleep. Naraku smiled down at him before he, too, fell asleep.
The next day Kohaku woke up and went downstairs he went outside to get some fresh air he looked up at the sun it was a beautiful day the birds were chirping and enjoying themselves flying around looking for food.
He smiled as they flew over head and into their nests after finding their food. He walked over to a bench and sat down, enjoying the breeze as it blew through the garden, sending all the scents to mingle together."It's so nice today." he says as he rubs his belly."Good morning my baby." he says to his stomach as he continues to rub it. "I hope we see your daddy soon." he says to it. "Good morning Kohaku." Koran says to him and sits down beside him,
Kohaku smiled at him and said, "Morning. How did you sleep?"
"I slept well. How about you?" Koran asked.
"It was ok. But I'm used to having Sesshoumaru holding me," Kohaku said, smiling.
"I know how you feel," Koran said, chuckling.
"Yeah I miss him so much."Kohaku tells him.
"So where is Naraku?" he asks him.
"He's in the kitchen waiting for the maids to finish making breakfast." Koran tells him.
"Hmm I wonder what they will fix today?" he says as he stands up.
"Only one way to find out." Koran tells him with a smile as he stands up as well.
"Yep!" Kohaku said, smiling, as they walked back to the castle. When they walked into the kitchen, the maids were just setting the food on the table.
Naraku walked over and kissed Koran on the lips, saying, "Breakfast's ready. I was just about to come get you."
"Aww, how sweet of you." Koran says with a smile and goes over to the table and sits down. "Morning Kohaku." Naraku says to him
. "Morning.' Kohaku tells him and sits down at the table. "Smells so good." Kohaku tells the cook as puts a napkin on his lap.
"I hope it's to your liking, sir," the cook said, smiling.
"I'm sure it will be, thank you," Kohaku said, smiling back. The cook bowed and left them to their breakfast. Kohaku ate slower this time, taking his time.
"You're doing good, Kohaku," Naraku said.
Kohaku nodded his head as he kept eating. "So what do you say we plant some flowers make this place look more welcoming." Koran says to him.
"I don't plant or do any of those things." Naraku tells Koran and takes a sip of his green tea
: "That's ok. It can be a me and Kohaku day," Koran said, smiling. Kohaku nodded and said, "I'd like that. It would be a good present for Sess when he gets home." Koran kept his smile as he thought, 'Kohaku, I'm so sorry.' "Great! We'll start after breakfast!" Koran said, smiling wider.
"Mhmm." Kohaku says.
"Well make sure he takes breaks so he won't strain himself or the baby." Naraku tells them as he goes back to eating his breakfast.
"You know if you're going to worry so much you might as well come out with us." Koran tells him.
: "I've got some things to do today," Naraku said.
Koran rolled his eyes, smiling, and said, "Fine, suit yourself."
Naraku just ignored him and continued eating his breakfast. Kohaku stopped himself from laughing as the two had their small argument, eating his own breakfast.
Kohaku drank his tea, and finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth."Mm that was good." he tells the cook.
"Hmm we should start making a nursery for the baby." Koran tells Kohaku, I guess you'll develop breasts so we won't have to worry about milk." he says.
Naraku spit out his tea when Koran said that.
Koran looked at him and said, "Naraku, you alright?"
Naraku got his coughing under control and said, "I'm fine."
Koran smirked to himself and chuckled as he drank his tea. He looked back at Kohaku and said, "So we can also work on the nursery when it gets too hot outside for you."
"That sounds good," Kohaku said, smiling.
"Alright let's go and leave grumpy here." Koran says and stands up. Kohaku couldn't help but smile Naraku had to really love Koran to let him get away with that, if that had been Kagura or even himself they would be punished.
Naraku pulled Koran down onto his lap, making Koran gasp and chuckle. "Be good," Naraku said, kissing Koran on the lips before letting him up. Koran winked at him as they walked out of the room to go get the gardening supplies. When they got them all, Kohaku looked at Koran and said, "Should we start with out front or out back?"
"Hmm let's start with the front." Koran tells him as he finds some soil where they can plant some flowers, "How about in the back we plant some vegtables." Koran tells him. "Okay that sounds good." Kohkau tells him as he takes a plow and starts raking it across the dirt."How come you haven't gone to see Sango since she's been released?" Koran asks him
: "I didn't want her to see me like that," Kohaku said. "Oh," Koran said. "But, I do want to go see her soon, hopefully," Kohaku said. "Maybe we can arrange that," Koran said, smiling. Kohaku smiled at him and said, "Thanks."
Kohaku got down on his knees and began putting seeds into the dirt." So Koran how is your time different from mine?" he asks him. "Well for one thing demons don't rule, in fact if there are any demons they're mostlikely hiding their powers. in my time humans rule we go to school, we work, things like that, we walk or take a bus, train even a car, where here you either walk or uses horses." he tells him.
"Hm, what else happens in your time?" Kohaku asked. "Well, we have televisions and movie theaters in my time. We also have these places called museums, where we get to see all sorts of old stuff," Koran said. "What kinds of old stuff?" Kohaku asked
"Like swords, bones of animals that use to live." he tells him as he helps him plant some seeds. "I see I would like to see your world soon." he says.
"You will as soon as you start sticking out. " Koran tells him.
"You know it's not so bad when I look at you., except your face is more kinder." Kohaku tells him..
I'm sorry that I remind you of him," Koran said. "It's ok, I don't mind so much anymore," Kohaku said, smiling. Koran smiled back as they planted. "These will be beautiful in spring," he said as he covered some seeds. "Yeah, I can't wait," Kohaku said, smiling.
While Kohaku and Koran were planting Naraku vanished and reappeared at the well and jumped into it."Stupid dog!" he growled as he climbed up the well and out of it and vanished and reappeared at Kaden's home and knocked on the door.
Kaden was in the kitchen when he heard the knock. 'Who could that be?' He thought as he walked over and opened the door. "Naraku! What are you doing here?" Kaden asked.
"I'm here to see that stupid mutt," Naraku growled as he pushed his way past Kaden.
Sesshoumaru was sitting on the sofa watching tv when Naraku came into the room. "You damn fool!" Naraku yelled at him and now stood before him.
"How dare you live your mate and unborn child behind!"
Sesshoumaru looked up at him and said, "Who said I did?"
"I do! You just disappeared out of no where when your mate and unborn pup need you the most. Kohaku knows nothing about being pregnant with a demon! You need to get your ass back there and help him. Not only can he not take care of a demon child, but he cannot run your lands on his own," Naraku growled.
Sesshoumaru looked at him. "Since when did you become so caring?" Sesshoumaru asks him. "Look I don't care about people much but Kohaku was my servant and I am a bit pissed that you left him, especially with him taking out his anger on me." he tells him
Sesshoumaru looked up at him and said, "You should be able to take care of a pregnant human." "Not when it's your child!" Naraku growled.
"Oh, that's right, you're a spider, not a dog," Sesshoumaru said, smirking.
Kaden came back into the living room. "So that's what brought you here you can't handle taking care of our boy?" he asks him.
Naraku growled at Kaden and grabbed him by his throat. "You damn fool, you could never be me, you're too weak!" he tells Kaden and drops him to the floor and glares down at him.
Kaden looked up at him and said, "At least I don't kill people."
"Oh? Look at what you're doing to Kohaku! The both of you! Sesshoumaru, you know fully well that Kohaku loves you.
And I can see it in your eyes, you're in love with him, but you just won't admit it to yourself. Well, you better get your ass back there and take care of him before he either dies from the pregnancy or from loneliness," Naraku growled, glaring at the two.
: Sesshoumaru sighed . "Naraku would you stop it , I can recall you doing all sorts of things to Kohaku when he was your slave you even sent him to kill Rin." he tells him.
"What's your point?, I didn't get him pregnant though now that I think of it that would have been a good idea. Naraku says as he puts his hand on his chin and rubs it.
Sesshoumaru glared at him and said, "You won't touch him."
Naraku smirked and thought, 'Good, I'm getting a reaction.' "Oh, and who's going to stop me?" he asked, smirking at Sesshoumaru.
"If you touch him, I will rip you to shreds," Sesshoumaru growled, standing up and facing Naraku.
"I don't know how you would even know being as you're here with your wanna be me." he tells him as he begins walking to the door. "I just came to see if you cared, I'm go back he's looking cuter and cuter as his belly starts to grow." Naraku tells him .
Sesshoumaru growled at his back and disappeared and reappeared in front of Naraku, making Naraku jump back in surprise. "Yes Sesshoumaru?" he asked innocently
Sesshoumaru grabbed Naraku's neck and pushed him against the wall. "Where is my mate?" he growled.
"He's still in the feudal era, waiting along with my mate, for me to return," Naraku lied, knowing fully well they were planting.
Sesshoumaru threw him against the other wall and looked at Kaden. "I have to go. I won't leave him by himself," he said.
"You said you would leave him if you wanted to stay with me," Kaden said.
"Well, I'm not leaving him. I'm sorry, Kaden, but I can't," Sesshoumaru said before vanishing. Naraku chuckled as he stood and brushed off his clothes.
"That is how you plan a well executed plan." Naraku tells Kaden as he straightens up .
"So it seems he loves Kohaku more than you planned." Naraku says to him. "You bastard you won't get away with this." Kaden growled.
"I think I just did. Goodbye, my reincarnation," Naraku said before vanishing as well. "Dammit!" Kaden yelled.
Sesshoumaru reappeared at Kagome's well house and went in, jumping into the well. He jumped back out and ran to his castle, looking for Kohaku.
He heard laughing and talking in the back of the palace he walked to the back seeing Kohaku and Koran laughing as they planted seeds. Sesshoumaru slowly walked up to them. "Kohaku." he said softly as he now stood a foot away from him.
Kohaku stopped when he heard his name. He slowly stood up and turned around, his eyes widening when he saw Sesshoumaru. "Sess!" he said, running over and hugging him. Sesshoumaru kissed the top of his head and said, "I'm sorry I left." "Just don't do it again! I love you too much to lose you," Kohaku said, looking up at him with a dirt smudge on his face. Sesshoumaru chuckled and wiped it off with his thumb. Kohaku leaned into his touch and smiled. Sesshoumaru smiled wider and leaned down, kissing Kohaku on the lips and pressing his body against him.
Koran looked at them. "Hmm so what made you come back here?" Koran asked him,"I mean we weren't coming to Kaden's home untill Kohaku was coming." he tells him. "Oh yeah, well Naraku came there demanding that I come back, Kohkau and my pup." need me." Sesshoumaru tells him.
: "You're damn right we need you! I don't know how to take care of myself right now, much less a demonic baby," Kohaku said, looking up at him. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at him before chuckling and said, "I won't be leaving again, I promise." "Good, 'cause if you did, I'd have to ignore you for a month," Kohaku said, pouting playfully.
"So where is Naraku now?"Koran asked him knowing the garden work was done for the day. "I left him with Kaden." Sesshoumaru tells him and runs a hand through Kohaku's soft locks. "Come on Kohaku we're going inside you need to eat more your skin is pale." Sesshoumaru tells him.
Kohaku nodded, saying, "Ok. Then Koran and I can work on the nursery." Kohaku smiled at his friend. "Of course we can, but only if it's ok with Sesshoumaru. He knows what's best for the baby," Koran said, nodding to Sesshoumaru. "Yes, you can work on the nursery. But not too long, it will put stress on the pup," Sesshoumaru said, leading Kohaku inside.
Koran scratched his head. "So that's what was so important." he says as he puts the tools back up and went back inside the castle hoping that Naraku didn't kill Kaden. Sesshoumaru led Kohaku into the kitchen and had them serve Kohkau meat medium rare. "This will build up your strength." he tells him
: Kohaku nodded and took Sesshoumaru's hand. "Thank you for coming back," he said, looking up at him. Sesshoumaru smiled and pulled him into his lap, wrapping his arms around Kohaku's waist as Kohaku rested his forehead in the crook of Sesshoumaru's neck as they prepared the meal.
Naraku returned back to the feudal era and was going to walk back to the castle when a arrow whizzed past his head "What the?!" Naraku said as he turned to see who shot the arrow
."Kikyo." he growled.
"Naraku you bastard how dare you not kill Kagome!" she hissed at him.
"I will not be the one to take the miko's life. I have my own life to live," Naraku said, glaring at her. "Like hell you won't! We made a deal!" Kikyo yelled, shooting another arrow at him. He moved to the right slightly, letting it whizz past his head again.
"Kikyo I warn you now if you don't leave me alone I will finish what I started on the mountain and this time Kagome is so angry at you she'll let your body dissolve." he tells her as he walks over to standing a few meters away."Try me Kikyo it would give me great pleasure to break your clay body!"
: Kikyo unstrung her bow to make it a staff and said, "Well, this will be interesting, won't it?" "Very. And we both know who'll win," Naraku said. "In your dreams, Naraku," Kikyo said, getting into her own fighting stance.
Naraku smirked at her. "Are you sure you don't want to say good bye to Inuyasha?" Naraku asks her. Kikyo glared at him, "I won't be dying by your hands." she tells him.
"Very well." Naraku tells her and his hand grows to a long spiky tentacle and he throws at Kikyo hitting her red pants
Kikyo stopped her knees from shaking as she charged Naraku, twirling her bow/staff and swinging at his arm, only for him to block it. She growled and swung again, aiming for his head.
Naraku grabbed Kikyo by her arm and threw her to the ground and put his foot on her hand. "This seems so familiar doesn't Kikyo except this time I 'm not dressed in red." he tells her as he smiles down at her. "What will killing me do for you Naraku?" she asked him.
"It will get you out of my hair," Naraku said, pressing down on her hand and making her wince, holding in her cry of pain. He smirked when he saw this and said, "Unbearable, isn't it?" He pressed down harder, and she cried out as she felt her hand break.
Naraku smirked. "Your cries are music to my ears." he tells her as he lifts his foot off her broken hand he looked down at the clay hand as it broke so easily. "Now what should I break next how about your leg?" he asks her.
"Naraku you will rot in hell!" Kikyo tells him.
"Not before you!" Naraku said, pressing his foot on her chest and pushing down. Kikyo winced at the sudden pain in her chest, making Naraku smirk. "Kikyo, you will rot in hell way before my time is up," he said.
Kikyo closed her eyes, "Naraku you kill me and you never be able to complete the jewel , Kagome has yet to be trained all the way." Kikyo tells him as she looks up into his cold murderous eyes
Naraku smirked and said, "There are more priestess than just you, Kikyo." He then pressed down, feeling her body snap under the pressure.
Kikyo went to cry out but the noise was blocked as blood pooled from her mouth and down her cheek to the ground. Naraku chuckled at the sight and said, "You never were strong enough, Kikyo. And now, you'll never have the chance again."
"Inuyasha." she said before the souls left her body for good this time. Naraku stepped away and looked down at her crumbled body he then released his misama and watched as her body melted away to nothing. "That was fun Kikyo." he says and walks away and heads back to his castle.
Naraku arrived back at the castle and walked inside and down to the kitchen to see Kohaku sitting on Sesshoumaru's lap, and Koran watching the two." Well isn't this a pretty sight." he said to them.
The three looked at Naraku when they heard his voice. Koran smiled and stood up, almost running over to Naraku and wrapping his arms around his lover's waist. Naraku kissed the top of his head and said, "Hello to you, too." Koran just smiled up at him before kissing him and wrapping his arms around Naraku's neck. Naraku kissed him back before pulling away and taking his hand, leading him back to the table. Sesshoumaru was smirking at him, his arms around Koharu's waist, and he said, "Have a nice walk, Naraku?"
"Huh, oh yeah walking does the soul good, Sesshoumaru." Naraku tells him as he sits down beside Koran. "I missed you Koran, I'm sorry to say that Kaden is a bastard." Naraku tells him. Kohaku growled when Naraku mentioned Kaden's name
: Koran nodded and said, "I know. He's like that sometimes." "Sometimes? SOMETIMES!? He tried to take my mate from me!" Kohaku growled, glaring at them both. "Well, I'm back, aren't I?" Sesshoumaru asked. "That's not the point!" Kohaku replied.
Naraku chuckled when Kohkau yelled at Sesshoumaru. "So glad you're back Sesshoumaru you can deal with his damn mood swings." he tells him. "What's that suppose to mean?" Kohkau asked glaring at Naraku.
"Nothing, Kohaku, he's just kidding. Aren't you, Naraku?" Koran said, glaring at Naraku as he said the last part through clenched teeth. "Of course," Naraku said, smirking at Koran. Sesshoumaru just rolled his eyes as the maids came out with food and set it on the table before them.
Naraku grabbed some of the fish and put it on his plate, as Sesshoumaru fixed his and Kohaku's plate. "So how are you doing Kohaku, are you resting?" Sesshoumaru asked him. "I am doing fine I have been sleeping well thanks to Koran." Kohkau tells him, "Naraku has been getting on my nerves." he says
Sesshoumaru glared at Naraku, who was smirking as he fixed Koran's plate. "Yes, he keeps making fun of my belly and says I have mood swings," Kohaku said, pouting. Sesshoumaru kissed Kohaku's neck and said, "I'll make sure he doesn't bother you anymore, ok?"
"Okay," Kohaku tells him. "Sesshoumaru I was nice to Kohaku I made sure he ate his meat, I even told him he could move into mine and Koran's chambers it wasn't like I threw him into the dungeons." Naraku tells him
"I'm sure you wouldn't have hesitated," Sesshoumaru said. "On the contrary, I was tempted a few times, but I resisted," Naraku replied, taking a bite of fish. Sesshoumaru finished fixing his and Kohaku's plate and they started to eat. "Sess, you wouldn't let him throw me into the dungeon, would you?" Kohaku asked. "Of course not," Sesshoumaru said.
"I guess not since I dragged your ass back." Naraku says to Sesshoumaru as he turns to Koran and sees Koran glaring at him. "W..why are you glaring at me?. I didn't touch Kohkau, he's the one that kicked me." Naraku says to him.
"I'm glaring at you because you need to quit while you're ahead," Koran hissed. Naraku gulped and said, "Alright, alright, I'm done."
Kohaku started eating his meal, Sesshoumaru watched as his young mate ate. "You're doing good Kohaku, make sure you eat all the meat." He says to him.
"I will." Kohaku tells him..
"So Naraku you were just walking?" Sesshoumaru asks him
. "Isn't that what I said?" Naraku said to him.
"Yes, it is, but it smells like you did something else," Sesshoumaru said, smirking at the flare of interest in Koran's eyes. "Oh, I killed that damn priestess Kikyo while I was at it," Naraku said, smirking as Sesshoumaru scowled at him.
"Why the hell did you do that, now my moron of a brother will stay with Kagome!" Sesshoumaru growled. "What do you mean why would I do that, I hate Kikyo, and so what if Inuyasha wants Kagome as long as she gives me my wish I could careless." he says
: "Good for you. But if she's still with my dimwit of a brother, than he had more protection than that damn sword!" Sesshoumaru said. Naraku rolled his eyes and said, "Then destroy the sword." "That's what I'm after, nitwit," Sesshoumaru said.
"Oh well you can turn into your demon form and go chase after him, though he did help your mate while you were off doing Kaden." Naraku says with a smirk. as he finished his meal Kohaku glared at Naraku as he said that and said through clenched teeth, "This is not something to talk about at dinner."
"What else are we supposed to talk about? The weather?" Naraku asked. "You can talk about the garden Koran and I worked so hard on today," Kohaku said.
: "You did a good job on the gardens Koran." Naraku says to him.
"Oh thank you Naraku. It was very fun working with Kohaku." he says to Naraku
. "Well I am glad you enjoyed yourself maybe you can finish tomorrow.
"If the weather's nice and sunny, then we can, huh, Kohaku?" Koran said, looking at his friend. Kohaku smiled and said, "Yes. Hopefully it will be nice tomorrow." Koran smiled at him and continued eating. Naraku stood up and pushed his chair in. "Come on Koran let's leave these two alone we need to talk anyway. he tells him. "I am still eating Naraku." Koran tells him as he drinks his water and goes on eating.
"Bring it with you," Naraku said. Koran sighed and picked his plate up before following him out of the dining room and down to their room. When they got there, Naraku closed the door as Koran sat down on the bed. "What do you want to talk about?" Koran asked.
Well I was thinking about your dear friend Kaden."Naraku says to him. "What about Kaden?" Koran asks him as he sits down on the bed and goes back to eating.
" "I don't trust him , he's swore revenge on me for making Sesshoumaru leave him and come back to Kohaku. "He'll probably get it, too. He once swore revenge on this guy named Aisen for breaking up with him, and then Aisen found his house egged. Kaden acts like a child when it comes to revenge," Koran said.
Naraku's eye twitched, "Eggs?, what the hell is wrong with him, he's suppose to kill them not egg their house!" Naraku growled as he walked over to the window and looked out of it, "If Kaden is anything like me he will kidnap Kohaku and make him his slave."
"Well, he's not like you. I bet he'll try to get Kohaku and Sesshoumaru to break up, though," Koran said. Naraku raised an eyebrow and said, "Really?"
"Yep. And hopefully it won't work," Koran said.
"Well that's stupid Sesshoumaru won't dump Kohaku he's having his pup, if anything Sesshoumaru will give Kohaku a good spanking." Naraku tells him as he walks over to the bed and sat down beside him on the bed: "It's not like Kohaku would fall for Kaden's tricks, anyway," Koran said, looking at Naraku as he stuck a piece of fish in his mouth, finishing his meal. He set the plate aside and said, "What do you think Kaden will do?" Koran asked. "He'll get through the well and come here to set out on getting revenge on me," Naraku said, shrugging as if it were no big deal.
"And you're not fazed by this?" Koran asks him.
"No many fools have tried to get revenge on him and they all end up dead "Like Kikyo." he says with a smirk.
"Wasn't she already dead though?" Koran asks him
"Yes, twice actually. But those idiots kept bringing her back, so I ended it once and for all," Naraku said.
"How did you do it?" Koran asked.
"Let's just say I broke her," Naraku said.
"You broke her, how do you break her?" Koran asks him.
"Well since she is made of grave yard soil, bones and clay she was easy to break, it was very entertaing I wish I could do it again." Naraku tells him.
"How can you be that cruel?" Koran asked.
"It's in my nature," Naraku said, shrugging.
"If we ever have kids, and you're that cruel, I'll have to hurt you," Koran said.
: Naraku nearly chocked, "C..Childern?!, who said anything about kids?, Koran are you nuts, I am not going through more mood swings!" Naraku tells him
