Chapter Ten: I'm angry
Angry. Angry simply was not the word. Seething with rage fitted Naraku's mood better. Kagura's body had been discovered too soon, he hadn't counted on that. He wanted Kagura's body found after the boy and Rin were well away from the hospital and the media had died down. Then it could have been put down to their revenge, but now...was simply too soon.
This was his last chance, he had decided, all hopes now rested on the forgotten minority that Kagura had not considered. This detail was not a fact or flaw in the plan to bring him to ruin conceived by that brat girl. It was a person Naraku rested his hopes on, if this person screwed up then Naraku would have something to vent his anger on.
Naraku had done exactly as Kagura had; he had freaked at the last moment. The instant Kagura's body was found he rung Kagura's contact and threatened him. Only because he simply could not do it himself, as sweet as revenge may be. He didn't care about the blood on his hands it would have caused or a guilty conscience but he knew he would get caught.
No one would suspect him now.
No court could convict him.

Sesshoumaru was discharged from hospital the next day with a large bandage around his chest that he had to wear under his shirt. His father told him about Kagura's death, for which he cared little. Inuyasha still had not let the hug go and was pulling puking faces at Sesshoumaru and Rin whenever he could.
"Inuyasha, you're just jealous because a mutt like you can't get a girl" Sesshoumaru joked smugly whilst he and Inuyasha were alone in the living room.
"W-What did you say?! You bastard, who are you calling a mutt?!"
Inutaisho and Izayoi entered the room and Sesshoumaru stared at the ceiling, pretending not to notice his fuming brother.
"Inuyasha, please get out, we need to talk to Sesshoumaru" Inutaisho said in a calm voice.
"What? Why? What's he done? Is in trouble? Is he going to die? Can I have his room?" Inuyasha joked.
"Inuyasha" Inutaisho said in a strained patient voice. Inuyasha huffed and stormed out.
"Sesshoumaru, we've just been talking to Rin" Inutaisho said taking a seat.
Sesshoumaru looked bored, and he needed to know this why?
Inutaisho sighed deeply and Izayoi continued for him.
"Rin has been talking to us back." She finished "But you already knew this, did you not?"
Sesshoumaru nodded dully and stared indifferently at her.
"And we know you can talk too, Rin told us" she said, Sesshoumaru's face didn't change at all, which must have irritated her a little "Are you not going to explain?" Inutaisho demanded.
"There is nothing to explain, I can talk, end of it." Sesshoumaru stated clearly. "But I would like to know about Rin's sudden recovery."
"Ah, yes" Inutaisho began slowly "After we were talking to the police about Kagura. Rin came to us and was talking, we got a doctor to look at her vocal chords and apparently they were extremely strained which caused them to slacken a bit when she was doing all that screaming so... talking came a lot easier." (AN: This is probably so untrue and wouldn't work at all but this is my story and I make the rules)
Sesshoumaru shrugged and stood up. "If that is all..."
"No-that-is-not-all" Inutaisho said snappishly, rising to his feet.
"What else do you want to talk to me about, then?" Sesshoumaru demanded plainly.
"According to Inuyasha's nice friend Miroku, you and Rin have a little thing going on" Inutaisho said, a suggestive smile on his face and waggling his eyebrows.
Sesshoumaru's eyebrow twitched and his eyes were suddenly very wide.
'Must...kill...father...' he thought, veins popping up all over his head. Izayoi giggled and Inutaisho broke out in laughter, slapping his knee. They were laughing at him.
He stormed out of the room in the same manner as Inuyasha had and stomped up the stairs with his fists clenched at his sides.
'I have to kill something, inflict pain on something...small and Miroku shaped. Where's Jaken when I need him?' he thought, irritated.

Naraku picked up the phone and dialled the number of his contact.
There was a faint buzzing on the edge of the line as they picked up and started talking.
"Of course it's me!" Naraku snapped
There was a hiss and pop of static as the person on the other end of the line stuttered an apology.
"It is all set, just get them there" Naraku hissed
Another buzzing of a hurried voice
"No, I don't care how you do it, just get-them-there!" Naraku snapped, his nails digging into the phone.
The voice buzzed again
"At 7 o clock tonight should be sufficient. I will see you then, and yes, the basement is all set up,"
The voice came again.
"It's time to prove your worth to me" Naraku whispered as he hung up "Jaken"
---
Jaken put the phone down and giggled a malicious laugh. Now he'd get those little shits for treating him the way they did.
I was insistent to make this chapter longer and I've made it all the shorter! Ah, I'm a terrible writer! And it's a cliffie! Oh, spare my life please!

Since this chapter is so short. I will give you a sneaky peek at Chapter 11:
Jaken was waiting for him there; this was all part of the plan. Get Sesshoumaru and possibly Rin. Naraku didn't care, as long as Sesshoumaru was out of the way. Preferably dead. Dead it was, then. He'd run right into the trap.
