Chapter 49
She put back the one she had picking up the second reading that he again suggested her selling everything and her job would be to do his dirty work for him. He insisted in this that she again call him Master and to do as he ordered or she'd be punished. In this one, the punishment was restricted to spankings of various types. She would have to carry a cell phone at all times but she would be staying in the spare room at the business and be free to come and go as she pleased. The agreement would continue as long as she wanted a potion and he wanted to continue using her if for any reason he no longer needed her she had to leave and never return.
The first one was the thickest suggesting she could either use her assets or work a couple of days a week to get a year's' worth of schemes or give her assets to her sister and work 5 days having two days a week to try to get Sesshomaru. She really didn't like the idea of being so limited but what it boiled down to was she was working for potions. The more work she did the more potions she got but there was a limit of a year period of time and it had to be done at once. If she asked for a break to use potions she wouldn't be allowed back to get more. She didn't think she could live a year without trying again but at the same time, she didn't like the idea of leaving with a few potions and still not have achieved her desire. The only thing that bothered her about the first one was whatever she chooses at the end she was to take her supply and never return to him sighting her as having an unhealthy obsession. Her only concern with this was if she gave him everything and failed to succeed she wouldn't know what to do but the other two contracts while she could obsess forever but she had to put up with him.
She finally came up with her answer but only if Naraku would give her a plan that wouldn't fail something completely foolproof she'd never darken his doorstep again. She called out, "Naraku can you come in here?" Within moments he was in the room looking at her confused when the documents were all on his desk. She then added, "I'd like to do number 1 but I want an agreement of a foolproof plan only then will I agree not to bother you again otherwise you will have to assist me until I am successful."
Naraku slowly sat in his chair he had really hoped for two or three so she'd serve him forever but he had to admit she had some intelligence. After pondering on it, he said, "I will consider it only after you tell me how your last attempt went. I need to know what I am getting into and the challenge Sesshomaru will present."
Kagura glared at him not really liking the delay but relayed the events that happened starting from beginning to end. As she did she could tell he was intently listening to everything she could tell at a few parts of the story he was angry but he remained silent letting her finish. Naraku patiently waited and once he was sure her tale was done he glared at her asking, "You obviously didn't read all the instructions like I told you to. Have you any idea what you have done?"
When she shook her head no he yelled, "You used that during a mating ceremony where his whole pack was there and ceremonies were held. Your target fell for your trap but for some reason, his mated sire came to his aid. I would guess it was more than his sire rushing to him but they discovered that only the mated male was unaffected. Then Sesshomaru's mate shows up indicating my hunch correct that others had joined with his sire but went back unable to continue. His mate was smart enough to assist him with her scent successfully preventing him from falling for your carefully laid trap. This gave his mind a moment of clarity having realized that only his mated sire was unaffected driving him to mark his woman thus making your potion useless that being the reason he attacked you rather than rutting."
Kagura shrugged her shoulders saying, "My plan was flawed I should have selected a better time when he was alone. So I had bad timing that doesn't explain your anger it's I who has to pay for my mistake."
Naraku eyes glowed red as he growled out, "You will pay but so will his mate she will go into season and then she will experience the pregnancy from hell all thanks to you. I can guarantee that if Sesshomaru ever sees or smells you ever again he will kill you. If all his mate suffers is discomfort and both she and the pup make it your death will be quick. However, if his mate dies or the pup is lost I am sure the healer will figure out the cause but then he will seek you out and heaven help you then."
She sat there in the chair feeling like a small girl getting yelled at for doing wrong by her father only this was much worse. If she went near Sesshomaru again the risk was great even a fool-proof plan could lead to her death. Even disguised by both looks and scent after she got what she wanted she'd have to leave Japan or risk being killed by Sesshomaru should their paths ever cross again. So for her this was really a one-shot deal she had one chance and then she had to no longer exist. Naraku licked his lips gaining an odd gleam in his eyes as he said, "It seems I could give you one foolproof plan where your image and scent are changed but until it was pulled off you'd have to be in hiding and afterward you'd have to leave the country. As much as you may want option number one I would recommend number three I know of a technique where I can remove your heart and even if you ran into him he couldn't kill you. Sure it would be painful and you'd have to regenerate but you wouldn't die. However, by helping you I leave myself open to his wrath and that risk requires consideration and I'd want you to give yourself to me in return for the risk involved."
