Chapter 34

"Who is it, Adimara?"

"No one I can see.", said Adimara.

"Then what made the floor creak?"

"I said, no one that I can see. But, I can sense an invisibility spell."

Adimara began to reach her hand in front of her, feeling for the culprit. Kieran knew enough about the spell that he knew, if he moved, Adimara would be able to detect him from the fuzzy movement of the background, so he had to stay still. When he saw her eyes move away from him, trying to detect such a movement, he made his move and quickly sidestepped out of the way. While Adimara moved forward, feeling for the suspect, Kieran slipped out the back door and ran as fast as he could away from there.

"Damn! It left.", said Adimara, seeing the door open and shut quickly.

"It's probably one of the mutt's brats. I told you not to underestimate Inuyasha or Kagome."

"I haven't seen any of their bratty offspring anywhere near here.", Adimara said.

"Nor have they been seen at the house here in Canada or anywhere in Japan. Only Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and Kagome have been seen. How do you hide over 100 kids?"

"There's no possible way."

"Only by a spell that could cover their identities."

" A normalcy spell? Please, Naraku, give me some credit. I am a witch, I can see through normalcy spells."

"But Kagome is a sorceress, is she not? While you are a mere witch."

"Mere? Naraku, please, I am your mate. You'd think you could give me some credit."

"If only I had made Kagome my mate when I had had the chance. Inuyasha would never have defeated me. And I wouldn't have a wimpy son like Mashai."

These words angered Adimara. For everything she had been through. Everything she had done for him. And he was wishing for that Kagome bitch to be his mate? Her resolve grew. She would finally defeat Kagome.

Kieran ran to where he was staying. Radioing back to base, he got Izayoi,

"Sis, quick, get Kentaro on the line. And Otou-san. Please.", he said with panic in his voice.

"Whoa, slow down, what's wrong?"

"Please, just get them on the phone."

"I'm here, Kieran,", he heard his father's voice on the line, "What's up?"

"Papa, I just saw Naraku!"

"WHAT? Where?"

"He's in the building where he has the insurance business."

"Wait! How do you know this?"

"Because I went in there tonight. I just came from there."

"Why the fuck were you in there?"

"Because Kentaro asked me too."

Inuyasha turned around in his seat and stared at his wolf hanyou son, who simply lowered his ears and avoided his father's gaze.

"Well talk later about what would you do if Kentaro asked you to jump off a cliff, but for now, did he see you?"

"No, but Adimara suspected someone was there. I used the invisibility spell."

Inwardly cursing another one of his pups, Inuaysha calmly replied, "What did you see?"

"Well, first I found the files. Dad, he has over 4000 policies in this area. Mostly to fisherman and their families. These policies are worth millions, perhaps billions."

"That tells me he'll have the money to do whatever he wants.", said Kagome, who entered the room.

"But dad, Naraku is ...he's, like, really messed up. He was in this, like, pinkish ball, floating and his skin is all eaten away in spots like his face, neck, chest. Oh, it's disgusting."

"So, he is planning something.", said Inuyasha.

"Yea, dad he is. Adimara called it the most 'unnatural natural disaster the world has ever seen.' and it's planned for when crab season opens."

"Well, crab season officially opens at midnight on the 25th of October. The day before, Jamesville is filled with families of the fishermen saying goodbye. The local tavern holds a fishing festival for everybody.", said Lizzie.

"Perfect timing for an 'unnatural natural disaster.' ", said Inuyasha.

"Something like a tidal wave would take out Jamesville, Wellington and a couple other small towns along the coast.", said Kagome.

"Economic disaster for British Columbia.", said Lizzie.

"And a success for Naraku.", said Inuyasha.
