Chapter 24: News
(SPOV)
By the time Naraku, Onigumo, Yori, Kagome and her boyfriend came to the hospital, Rin was under the doctors care.
"How is she?" Kagome asked.
"I don't know. The doctors has not come back yet to give me an answer."
"How did she fall down the stairs?" Asked the boyfriend, who I think name is Hojo. "Did you push her down you fucking demon?" He decided to charge at me but I stood my ground when he delivered the blow to my face. He crumpled back, holding his hand as a bit of blood trickle down his knuckles, muffling back his scream.
I chuckled. "Did you really think you could scuff me human? You are only going to damage yourself, but no, I did not push her down. She was not paying attention and fell down."
"I just hope she is okay," Kagome said, helping Hojo with his hand as a nurse gave her some wipes.
"Do you think the baby will survive?" Onigumo asked. My eyes drifted, not sure what to say.
"I could feel his heartbeat fading, along with hers."
"His?" This from Kagome.
"Yes, his. Being that I am a demon, when we mate, it doesn't take long for the baby to develop a sex, nor nine months for it to be fully mature."
"So, how long would it take?"
"Four months." This was from Naraku. Kagome looked at him quickly but soon shifted her eyes back to Hojo when he grabbed her hand. The look that Naraku was giving her was not a friendly look and Kagome looked nervous. Those two seemed fine not too long ago. I wonder what happened now. But that would have to wait because I saw the doctor head my way and the expression on his face was not pleasing.
"Are you with the patient?"
"Yes –
"I am her brother," Hojo said as he jumped up and stepped in front of me. This bastard had no idea who he was fuckin' with and if he kept doing it, he would know. "How is my sister doc?"
"She is stable. Her wrist and neck are sprained, but with a few weeks rest, she will be up and ready to go. Who was the one that brought her in saying that she was caring his child?" I raised my hand and the doctor shifted his eyes to me and I knew it could not be good news. "Unfortunately, we were not able to save your child sir. She miscarried." I felt my heart drop. She miscarried? Miscarried! "I am. Truly sorry for your lost."
"Does she know?" This was from Yori. I had no more words. I was speechless. The doctor nodded his head.
"She was hysteric when we told her. We had to sedate her to calm her down. Sadly, she will have another one of these break downs. Only someone who has lost a child can suffer so much pain. Hopefully things will get better. You two can always have another child –
"That won't be happening," I managed to utter out. "Though I did not want to have a child with that...girl... I did not want her to lose it. Not like this."
"Sesshomaru?" Yori took my face between her hands and looked at me with tenderness in her eyes. "Even though you hate Rin and the fact that she was pregnant, you were still looking forward to having a baby...weren't you."
"Yes." I couldn't lie. I was looking forward to being a dad. Although it wouldn't have been mine and Yori's child, it was the fact that I was going to have another me running around. I liked the image of being a dad. I could feel my eyes start to water but I refused to let them fall. I was not going to cry; not in front of all these people.
"I will leave you all then, but you can go see her now. She is in room 421." The doctor walked off, leaving us alone in silence. I knew I had shocked everyone with my answer. I had treated her so badly, but once my child had came, everything would have been different. Not for her, but for him.
"Sesshomaru –
"Don't, say anything Yori. Just, hold me." Yori did hold me and I just held on for dear life. She hummed the song that she made for me and I started to feel a bit better.
"You guys go ahead and check up on Rin. We will be there shortly."
"We'll stay with you guys. Kagome and Hojo can go check up on her since they have known her longer," I heard Naraku said coldly. I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Being around him, no matter his mood, always made me laugh.
"Thanks for making me laugh Naraku."
"Heh, no problem."
"We'll go then." I looked up from Yori's shoulder and watched Kagome and Hojo walk down the hall. Hojo looked back and gave me a hateful look. I just growled and he snapped his head forward and ran around the corner.
"I can see why you hate that guy Naraku." I shifted my weight back onto my feet. I turned my attention to Naraku and Onigumo and noticed that Naraku looked different. "Are you wearing contacts?"
"I wish."
"Apparently, the demon that is inside Naraku, named Xiohu, is trying to take over Naraku's body as quickly as he can before he can get Kagome to fall in love with him."
"Hold on. It seems that I have some catching up to do. Before I go see Rin, tell me what has happened with you two." We sat down in the waiting room and both Yori and I kept I ears open as we listened to their story.

(KagPOV)
"That Sesshomaru guy gives me the creeps."
"You know, you shouldn't fuck with him. Unlike Naraku, Sesshomaru will kill you, so watch it."
"Whatever Kagome. He won't do..." I just gave him a dirty look to shut him up. I was not in the best of moods for him to pretend he was macho. "What has gotten your panties into a bunch?"
"Just shut up Hojo, alright."
"Psh." I just rolled my eyes as I opened the door to Rin's room. She laid in the bed, silently weeping with tubes and wires connected to her. We came to her bedside and she slowly turned those big tearful brown eyes to mine.
"K-Kagome..."
"I know sweety, I know." I gave my hand to Rin as she took it in hers and started to weep uncontrollably. I felt really bad for Rin. She lost the only thing that had kept her and Sesshomaru close, sort of. "Ssshhh. Everything will be okay."
"No, it won't be. That baby was the only way I would be close to Sesshomaru and maybe he would accept me later when it was born. I love Sesshomaru so much, but now he won't do anything with me now."
"I am going to beat that demon's ass."
Rin giggled. "Hojo, just quit it. You trying to act macho is not doing you any good. It didn't work when we were kids and it's not going to work now, especially with Sesshomaru."
"You should know you can't win against him since you hit him in the face."
"You hit my Sesshomaru in the face?"
"He deserved it. I thought he had pushed you down the stairs, so I swung at him."
"Only to receive back the damage you tried to put on him." Hojo looked at his hand and made a muffled noise.
"Where is Sesshomaru?"
"Out in the hall with Naraku, Onigumo and Yori."
"Why are they here?"
"For support I guess." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Well, as long as Naraku is not here for other purposes, it's fine." I knew what she meant by that and I didn't want to get into it with her; not today or at all. "But, I am not welcomed into Sesshomaru's house anymore. Before I fell down the stairs, he was telling me to leave."
"Why?" Hojo asked as he sat on the other side of Rin.
"Because he refuses to do what Yori asked him to do. I watched him almost choke her out, saying that he was no longer going to be her bitch before he fucked her, knowing I was watching. My heart was breaking when I saw that. It hurts to see the person you are in love with love someone else."
"I know what you mean," Hojo muffled. I just looked at him sharply and Rin looked between the both of us.
"What is going on?"
"Nothing," I said with a smile. "Hojo is still upset that I won't have sex with him." Rin turned her attention to her brother.
"What?"
"You know that was not part of the deal. You were just supposed to make sure she does not get close to him, that is it. You are doing a good job at that, aren't you?"
"For the most part."
"What does he mean Kagome?" She turned her hateful eyes to me.
"Nothing. It's just hard for him to watch me when I am at work. I am not getting close to Naraku at all. You have nothing to worry about."
"Good, cause you know what will happen if you do." I rolled my eyes when she was not looking at me. If she was going to move back in with me, it was going to be hard to be around Naraku behind her back. I would still have to apologize to Naraku for yesterday. "Now that I can't live with Sesshomaru anymore, I guess I will be moving back in with you Kagome."
"You are giving up on him now?"
"Don't see the point in trying anymore. I lost the baby, so he doesn't have to worry about me interfering anymore. He loves Yori too much to leave her for me."
"What about his brother."
"That asshole? Hell no. He is a bigger dick then Sesshomaru." I giggled and got her to laugh with me as well. The door opened and Sesshomaru and Yori came in. "S-Sesshomaru." Rin sat up in the bed abit as Sesshomaru walked his way over to her.
"If you guys do not mind, I would like to talk to Rin, alone."
"Actually, I do mind –
"Hojo!" Rin snapped. Hojo backed down and walked out the door, me right behind him, closing the door silently. Hojo stormed off somewhere when I turned the corner. I was glad I lost him though because now I could find and talk to Naraku, if he was still here. I walked back to the waiting area and saw him and Onigumo talking to one another. I just stood there for a minute till Onigumo saw me. Naraku looked back and I just gave him a tiny smile before he gave me an ugly look. Maybe I did deserve that but I was not going to let him stay mad at me. I walked up to the two and as if Onigumo knew what I wanted, he left Naraku.
"Hey Naraku."
"Hi."
"Mind if I talk to you for a minute?"
"About what? You said enough to me last night on the phone."
"Come on Naraku, please." He just looked at me for a minute before he gave me a cold 'Fine'. "Let's talk outside."
"Don't wanna get caught by Hojo now do we."
"Just come on." Naraku followed behind me as we exited out of the hospital and walked around the building for some privacy. Checking to see if the close was clear, I turned my attention back to Naraku and got a very good look at him. His eyes were a mix of what they were last night. "You're eyes, they are a different color."
"Yeah. I am having a fight with Xiohu right now on control of my body."
"Oh, it seems that you are winning."
"For now. It's bad enough my eyes aren't the same anymore but I also have fangs now so I have to watch how I eat."
"Fangs?" Naraku smiled for me, showing me his new fangs. A shiver went up my spine as I imagined him sinking them into my neck. He raised an eyebrow and I shut the thought away. He just smiled. "What are you smiling about?"
"You." He chuckled again. I just smiled. I was glad to see him laughing.
"So, are you still mad at me about what I said last night."
"Hell yeah I am." Just like that, the smile was gone. "How would you feel if I told you I was thinking about some girl while I was fucking you."
"Yeah, I wouldn't like that. I'm sorry Naraku."
"You really think saying sorry is going to make me feel better? What you said really hurt Kagome. I want to keep trying to have you fall in love with me, but it seems that you will keep knocking me down when I feel that I am close to having you back."
"I did say that this was going to be a challenge for you."
"But what you are doing is just ridiculous. I can understand you playing games with me as in testing me, but hurting me?"
"I know, and I am sorry. I really did not mean to hurt you Naraku." I stepped up to him, taking his hands into mine but he took them back. I sighed and said, "I hope you will continue to give me a second chance at this."
"Why are you persistent on this now? Before you didn't want to give me a chance, but now that I am mad at you, you want me back? I am confused."
"I did say that I was going to see to the end of this till the three months are up." I watched him bit his lip. "Something wrong?"
"N-No. But, I am going to try harder for you to fall for me."
"Oh? And why is that?"
"Because." Naraku had this lustful look in his eyes as he took several steps towards me till my back was against the wall and both of his hands were on the side of my head on the wall. I could feel my heart start to speed up as he pressed his body against mine, feeling his excitement. "So, are you ready for it?"
"Oh, I am so ready, but you will fail."
"No, I think I am going to win and I am going to fuck the life out of you."
"Ha! I would like to see you try."
"You will." He leaned his head lower to mine, our lips an inch away. I watched a tiny smirk cross those beautiful lips before he placed them on mine. I returned that kiss as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I was enjoying this way too much. I knew I shouldn't have been, but I was. I slid one of my hands down over his chest as I lowered it down between his legs, grabbing as much as I could. Naraku gasped into the kiss as I rubbed him. The kiss became more rough the deeper I pressed against his dick. His hands slid off the wall and around my waist, making sure I was not going to get away. I tugged at Naraku's shirt, lifting it up enough so I could get my other hand underneath it to trace his scar. Naraku jumped at the feel as I traced my fingers up and down the scarred tissue. His soft moans echoed through my ears as I trailed sweet kisses down his neck. "Mmm, fuck Kagome."
"You can't stay mad at me knowing I can do this to you."
"I fuckin' hate it when you do this." Naraku growled as he slowly pulled away from me. "No more."
"What?"
"You can't touch me like that and not finish it up. Do you know how many times I had to get myself off because of you doing that?" I shook my head. "A lot. So no more unless you plan on getting me off fully."
"Sounds fair."
"So no turning me on. Think you can handle it?" I thought about it for a moment. I liked turning him on, but since it was bothersome for him, I wouldn't want to have him suffer. I nodded my head. "Good."
"So are we still going to go to your grandmother's house for dinner?"
"Not tonight, some other time. Tonight you can come to my place and I will fix you up dinner."
"If I can get away."
"Why won't you be able to?"
"Rin might be moving in with me so I might have to go back to Sesshomaru's place and move her stuff back."
"Her stuff can wait. I really want to have this dinner with you."
"You do know you are not going to get sex out of this right."
"Geez Kagome. Do you always have to think I want to fuck you."
"Yes." He laughed. "Maybe I am thinking too highly of myself?"
"You are, but just come to my place tonight around seven, like you wrote."
"I will." Naraku gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead. "Now I am going to go back inside. Wait five minutes before walking back in. Don't want Hojo all flustered."
"Okay." Naraku smiled at me as he walked around the corner. I couldn't wait to have this dinner with him tonight. I think tonight is going to be a good night, no matter what.
(END)
(NPOV)
I was surprised Kagome did not look away from me when it came to my new appearance. I thought she would scream or not want to be around but maybe I would win this battle with Xiohu.
You think so...but you will not. I will...take over...
"Sounds like you have some problems right now. Can't breathe?" I chuckled.
Laugh...all you want. You...will not see... the light of day...when I take over.
"Yeah yeah, whatever. You know I am going to win. Why else would you cheat?"
Little Naraku. The less you know... the better.
"What do you mean?" Xiohu did not answer. I was surprised that he was even able to. Guess he is becoming stronger if he can contact me again. My mouth was dry and I needed something to quench my thirst. I headed over to the vending machines to get me something to sip on. I pulled out a dollar and placed it into the machine and picked the beverage that I wanted. As I opened the drink, Hojo came around the corner looking flustered. Our eyes met and he turned his feet towards me. What did this asshole want now.
"Have you seen Kagome?" He asked with a bit of heat behind that tone.
"No, I haven't."
"You're lying."
"I didn't know you were a physic now," I said mockingly with a smile on my face. "What makes you so sure I know where she is."
"Because I just do."
"You do not even have a reason to back it up. Heh. I wonder what Kagome sees in you." I walked passed him sipping my soda.
"At least I have something you don't."
I stopped and looked back at him. "And what exactly is that?"
"Her heart." I couldn't help but spit back out the sip I took as I laughed my heart out. "What is so funny?"
"You thinking that you have Kagome's heart, but it is clear that you do not."
"What makes you so sure?"
"It's the way she looks at you that lets me know that you do not have her heart. You may have her physically, but mentally and emotionally, you do not."
"I'll prove to you that Kagome is mine."
"Sorry Hojo, but in the end, you will be the one alone and I will be the one with Kagome back in my arms and back in my bed."
This time he laughed. "I highly doubt that. Kagome would leave me for you since she was the one that left you for me." He had my full attention now. "Yeah, forgot that didn't you. You think you are so badass, but you're a just a big softie. You have this idea that Kagome is going to run back to you saying how much she missed you and how much of a better fuck you are than me, but that will never happen. Kagome is a nice girl, but don't take her kindness seriously to the point you actually think she likes you. At the end of this war, I will be victor with Kagome at my side."
"You sound very sure of yourself."
"I am."
"You know, talking big is not a very good asset of yours."
"What?"
"Hojo, you don't know shit about me. You're little 'facts' are just from the little shit you have seen of me because I haven't beat your ass yet. You sure can talk a lot of shit, but you can't back it up."
"How do you –
"If you did we would have fought by now. You know I can fuck you up, but you use Kagome as a shield. If you were not her 'boyfriend,' you would not be here and know that I am very serious about that. You say for me not to take her kindness too seriously, but you are the one taking that for granted. Keep pressing buttons with me and eventually Kagome won't be protecting you anymore and will let me just have my way with you." I gave him a wicked smile, causing fear to warp in his eyes. "Now look at that, you're scared because you know it's true. Do you wanna try your luck?" Hojo didn't say anything. He made a 'hmph' noise and walked passed me. I just chuckled to myself. He was really going to try and convince me that I was not going to succeed in getting Kagome back, but only if he knew what we have done.
I walked back to the waiting room and saw my brother on the phone. When he got off I asked, "Who was that?"
"That was grandma and she is upset with you. Something about a bottle?"
"Yeah. Kagome pissed me off last night. Grandma had given me this potion to give Kagome to see if she likes me at all, but since I was mad at her, I threw it against the wall."
"Ah, well, you do know you have to tell her why you broke it."
"Yeah, I know. I probably will stop by her place before I go back home."
"That sounds like a good idea."
I shrugged my shoulders. I knew she would find out sooner or later that I broke the bottle. I should have gotten rid of the evidence. We saw Sesshomaru come around the corner and he seemed a bit better. "What's up Sesshomaru?"
"I know this may seem abnormal of me, but I having Rin stay at my place until she is better."
"That is abnormal," both Onigumo and I said. He chuckled. "Did Yori have anything to do with this?"
"No, I did not. Sesshomaru made the decision all on his own. I am guessing he feels a bit guilty for the lost of their child, so now he wants to treat Rin right. Rin couldn't even believe the words that were coming out of his mouth, but nonetheless, she was ecstatic." Yori turned her attention to Sesshomaru and said, "But you do not have to feel guilty forever my love. You will have a child, very soon."
"What makes you so sure?" Sesshomaru asked. The thought crossed his eyes several times before they lit up. Yori smiled and nodded her head before Sesshomaru picked her up and spun her around like crazy. "I can't believe it. Are you serious? How come you are just now telling me? How come I didn't smell that you were pregnant?"
"I wanted to surprise you with it when the moment was right. I just found out yesterday that I was pregnant. I never thought that Rin would have lost her baby though. I liked the idea of our children playing with each other."
"Heh, I am just glad that I will have a child now."
"Congrats you two." Sesshomaru and Yori both looked at us and smiled.
"You guys can head out. The doctors are going to release Rin and we will be taking her home. You don't have to wait up."
"Alright then."
"We'll see you later." Onigumo and I walked out of the hospital, glad that things were starting to look up. "I guess I will go see grandma now."
"And I will head off to the restaurant to see how everything is going."
"I will be there when I am done." Onigumo nodded his head and we went our separate ways.
As I was heading towards my car I heard someone yelling my name. I looked over and saw Kagome running towards me. "Kagome? I thought you left with Hojo?" Kagome caught up with me and started to take heavy breaths. "You okay?"
"Where...are...you headed...right now?"
"To my grandmother's house."
"Mind if I join you?" Kagome flicked her hair back and I noticed a red mark on her cheek.
"What happened to your face?" I grabbed her chin but she pushed my hand back.
"Nothing. I felt something crawling on my face and hit myself really hard."
"Uh huh."
"Well, can I come?"
"I guess. She does want to meet you anyways."
"Great." Kagome gave me a sweet smile as she went around the passenger side and got in the car. I think she was lying about the mark on her cheek, but at least I had her with me. With her along, my grandmother wouldn't beat me. Haha.
