Chapter 48
Sesshomaru awoke to his groaning mate he knew she was uncomfortable. He hated to leave her with the start of her morning sickness setting in. He planned on letting her stay home and rest the week it usually took to pass and having the cooks make her special meals that helped in the meantime. He felt bad about having to leave her but he needed to return to work and conduct business. He took a few moments to try to sooth her by kissing her forehead and gently rubbing her belly. He looked at her exhausted eyes saying, "I must work you rest I will tell the cooks to bring something for nausea. Perhaps if you feel up to it later you can watch TV or read a book in the living room. I shall return as soon as I can in the meantime would you like anything before I go?"
With a shake of her head signaling no he left heading directly to the kitchen. There he made sure they understood the situation. After leaving the kitchen he ordered Mae to attempt to distract his mate from focusing too much on her nausea, perhaps even helping her outside for an hour or so for a change of scenery if his mate was up to it. Now sure that his mate would be well taken care of he left for the office.
~ With Kagura ~
Kagura had rushed as fast as she could to Naraku it hadn't taken her very long using her feather to reach him. She did, however, find that it was much harder to travel by air the closer to the city she got. Eventually, she had been reduced to flying mere inches off of the ground so as not to create panic. She rushed to her old escort business coming to a halt only once she was close enough to see it. She was stunned and shocked Naraku had completely remodeled the place it looked absolutely amazing. She walked to the door taking her time to take in all the changes that had been done eventually going inside the building. Once inside again she was floored with the changes that had been made and made her way to an office door knocking on it.
Naraku opened the door not at all surprised to see Kagura there he knew she'd fail again she wasn't too bright. He motioned for her to enter and closed the door behind her saying, "As you can see business is going well. I have made this into a real escort service for men of money. While I was renovating the place I sent all the girls through training on how to behave properly in high society. I remarketed the place making sure the girls experienced opera's, formal dinners, and dancing. Now I have lots of high-end customers who love my girls and are often repeat customers."
He placed three large documents on his desk he looked at her saying, "I am selling your old business and moving to a better area with the girls. This is the last time I will help you out for I feel you have become obsessed and nothing will satisfy you. The first pile suggests you sell your property and use the funds to see a doctor, get a wardrobe and purchase what you can. At the bottom it states the consequences of you bothering me again. The second suggests you sell the property and send the money to any relatives you have. You will agree to be an employee here and work off the debt of whatever you want as well as room, board, and a doctor. With this one as long as you are performing your job I will continue to supply you with what you want but you must not miss work. If I have to fire you the same applies you are never to return or face the consequences. Third and final one makes you an indentured servant you will do my dirty work and in return, I will allow you as many potions as you want. However, there are consequences for failing in your job or your obsession interfering with my orders. I will leave so you may read and decide on your own."
Naraku stepped out of the office and grinned evilly he knew what he had given her had been hexed guaranteed to fail. He turned on the TV hoping she'd decide on number 2 or 3 with one he still had a chance she'd return setting the contingency clause into effect. He loved the clauses in each number three she'd do his dirty work and any failure on her part meant he'd get to punish her. Two was close to the same but in two the punishment was limited to spankings only but there was enough variety there to entertain him a while. One was the least appealing to him but if she darkened his doorstep she'd have to stay with him and do as he commanded for three days before sent on her way. If she returned she would be kept until she did everything he said without question and then asked to leave and never return. If after that she still returned he would have her committed as her only family and he'd forget all about her unless he grew to enjoy tormenting her then he'd impression her in his home and delight in torturing her until she died.
Kagura started reading the third pile noting it told her to sell all her belongings and give all her money to her family. Her job would be mainly cleaning, cooking and keeping Naraku's home in order. She'd have most of the day to do whatever she wanted and would even get an allowance. The only downsides were she had to call Naraku Master and if she stepped out of line he had the right to punish her however he saw fit. On the plus side, she could try as often as she wanted with Sesshomaru during the day while Naraku worked as long as she finished all her work. She quickly ruled that one out as being too limited and time-consuming.
