Kagome sat in the kitchen by herself, Kagura was busy doing the laundry, she was tired there was a lot of construction going on in Kohaku's room , and the room that Kagome, Kohaku and Rin had been bought to many times. Naraku had been to busy the last couple of days to bother Kagome, something was going on, she just didn't know what.

The workers were busy painting Kohaku's room. Naraku was in the room that Kohaku had taken Rin's innocence.

Monitors were being put in the room.

"So this is the room you're going to put her in?" Hojo asked.

"You are correct." Naraku said

"I can tell you now she's not going to like it, this room is soundproof no one will know she's here."Hojo said.

"Not that I'm questions you sir but are you locking her in here because of the agent or because she tried to escape?" he asked Naraku.

"Both not that its any of your business." Naraku said

"Of course not sir I was just saying she's going to be yelling and screaming when you do this." he said.

"She will be allowed out for her meals and a walk around the gardens each day supervised by Kagura." Naraku said

"Yeah I think I'll go in the garden now, since you're going to tell her, her voice hurts my ears when she gets angry." Hojo said leaving. Hojo walked passed Kagome.

"Off to bother Kagura?" she asked him.

"Just getting away from the screams and bitch fit your bout to throw" Hojo said

"I have no reason to scream and have a bitch fit like you say." she said as Naraku came in the room. Hojo quickly left the kitchen, where he ran into Kagura and pulled her out into the garden.

Master." She greeted bowing to him "Do you need my assistance"

"Actually little one I have something I want to show you." he said. Kagome followed him, she stopped when they were standing before the room that she hated so much.

"I..I didn't do any thing please don't beat me." she pleaded.

"You are mistaken." Naraku said "This room is no longer for that purpose"

Kagome sighed with relief, as she followed him in the room. . it no longer looked like the room that they were beat in, degraded. There was a bed, a table and chair, a mirror, there was also a door that she never noticed before. she saw six Monitors on the walls. "I don't understand why did you bring me in here?" she asked him.

"This is your new room." Naraku said

"No., you can't do this to me I did everything you wanted, Master." she cried. "I haven't mentioned his name or anything." she said making a run for the door.

Naraku blocked the exit "You will be brought out for your meals and bought out for a walk around the gardens each day." He left locking the door from the outside.

Kagome banged on the door, she screamed and yelled. "I hate you, you're a bastard , let me out of here!" she screamed to her voice was hoarse. Kagome walked over to the bed, she looked up at the monitors there was one on that showed the outside of the house she could see who came and left. Kagome saw a black sports car pull up and out stepped her sliver haired angel.

"No!" She cried "He's here and he knew it."

She ran to the door and began banging on it, when no one came she screamed, could they not hear her? then she had an idea as she looked at the door knob if they couldn't hear her then they could see her. She began to twist and turn the door knob hoping Sesshomaru saw.

The maid showed Sesshoumaru in. "Agent Tashio to what do I owe this visit." he said knowing Kagome was looking.

"I wanted to ask you some questions about Muso Gran , how do you know each other?" Sesshoumaru asked as he looked around .

"Business mostly." Naraku said "We have become friends over the years." Sesshomaru nodded as he looked around he thought he saw a door knob turn and a door push inwards but he dismissed it for now.

"Do you live alone?" Sesshomaru asked.

" My servants live here I have the occasion female friend over once in a while, why?" Naraku asked him.

Merely curiosity"Sesshomaru said

"You know what they say." Naraku said "Curiosity killed the cat."

"But satisfaction brought him back." Sesshomaru finished the child's saying for him.

"Is that all you want Agent, I'm a busy man and time is money, I'm getting ready to have dinner , I would ask you to stay but I don't socialize with burnt out agents, who can't seem to get over the fact that the young Ms. Taka is dead."

"Naraku I in fact know Ms. Taka is dead and I'm sure you were one of the first to know that as well." Sesshomaru said "And Im no burn out but you Naraku are in fact burning as we speak"

"I never meant the poor girl, I read about you agent how your girlfriend was killed while you were supposedly looking out for her. and I watch who you threaten agent.." he said to Sesshoumaru.

Kagome watched the whole thing on one of the Monitors, she was able to hear what they were saying.

"You were the one to threaten me first...my curiosity will not lead to my downfall but yours." Sesshomaru said

Sesshoumaru growled, but he didn't see any evidence of anything that could tie Kagome to Naraku. "I'll be leaving now but this isn't over between us, Naraku." Sesshoumaru said and left. Kagome cried as she saw her only hope leave, she was so close.

After Naraku made sure Sesshoumaru was gone he walked over to the door of the room Kagome and walked in.

"What were trying to pull!" Naraku yelled

Kagome wouldn't look at him, "I want my freedom you, you lied to me you said that Kohaku's room would be made into a nursery for my baby, why am I in here!" she screamed. "Sesshoumaru was here and he couldn't help me, let me go I hate you!" she said.

You may hate me...as long as you respect me...Kohaku's room will become a nursery..you are here for no one out there can hear you...now that is cleared up I must go I need to get a few things done before I leave for America" Naraku said

"America, you're leaving?" not believing what she heard. Naraku walked over to her. "That is what I said." Kagome swallowed the lump in her throat. "Please don't make me stay in here, I don't want to be alone." she said.

"You won't be alone four times a day besides when Kagura is not busy she may come and entertain you" Naraku said "I will be back in a weeks time"

"Were you hoping that by turning that knob he would come to your rescue?" he asked her as he went to the door. "Yes, I wanted him to kill you." she said.

Naraku smiled. "What a pity for you the one that will be dying is your precious agent." he told her.

"So business trip..America...hope you don't get gunned down...there are daily shootings over their...maybe if your lucky you'll end up going to Ohio or New York." Kagome bit out

"My what a clever mouth I'll be sure to put it to work when I come back from my trip." he said and left

once again locking the door.

Sesshomaru was enraged he was pacing the floors of his home, while Inuyasha watched him from the couch, no one knew of Sara and his blooming relationship besides those he deemed worthy and Naraku was less worthy than Inuyasha.

"Are you going to tell me what has you so pissed off?" Inuyasha asked him.

"Your boss" Sesshomaru growled

"How the hell did he know about Sara and I?" he said as he stopped pacing and pulled out a cigarette.

"I thought you quit.?" Inuyasha said.

"I did" Sesshomaru said lighting up the cancer stick he took a puff and blew the smoke out, his nerves calming slightly

"Who knows, but Sess maybe you need to back off before you get yourself thrown off the case." Inuyasha said as he accidently spilled his ramen on Sesshoumaru's white couch.

"You know maybe you should take a shower." Inuyasha said placing his hand on the stain.

Sesshomaru growled looking at the obvious stain "How old are you again?" he asked

"21 in human years, 2 in puppy years." Inuyasha said as his ears twitched back and forth.

"You promised my mom you wouldn't kill me ." Inuyasha said.

"I never promised I wouldn't maim ,disable or harm you." Sesshomaru said

"Yeah before you do that I need a favor, I'm about to get kicked out my apartment and normally I would stay with Miroku but since he's busy with Rin I was hoping I could stay here with you." Inuyasha said.

"Why did I make that promise again?" Sesshomaru asked to no one in particular.

"So is that a yes?" Inuyasha asked

"You'll barely know I'm here I'll be at work , "I'll cook dinner." Inuyasha said

"Can you even cook?" Sesshomaru asked

"Ramen." he said.

Sesshoumaru sighed. " Go get your things you can stay, none of little girlfriends are allowed here though." Sesshoumaru told him.

"Yeah sure I'll just go to their place.." he said.

"Shouldn't you be going to pack?" Sesshomaru asked

"Its already down stairs." Inuyasha said

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes as Inuyasha got up and went to get his things.

Sesshoumaru looked at his couch. He felt something biting on his leg he looked down to see two puppies one white one black.

Inuyasha came in the room with one of his boxes. I see you meant my pets." Inuyasha said.

"Dogs." Sesshomaru growled "What kind of hanyou wants dogs? you can play with your own ears damn it."

"How'd you know I do that, that's not the point they were alone on the street, one's a girl the other a boy I'll keep them out your way. besides Fluffy already likes you." Inuyasha said picking up the little white puppy.

"Here hold her." Inuyasha said as he placed the puppy in Sesshoumaru's arms, and went to get the rest of his boxes.

Sesshomaru growled at the puppy and it whined and licked his face, he began petting the puppy in a manly way of course making the said puppy let out a purr like sound.

Inuyasha came in with the last of his boxes and locked the door behind him. "See I knew you like her, I don't have a name for the boy though." Inuyasha said as he picked up the black puppy.

"Hnn can't think of a name for a puppy." Sesshomaru said "How sad."

"Shut up, I'll think of one." Inuyasha said. "I'll name him Max." Inuyasha said..

"Now Max you stay here with Uncle Sesshoumaru while I go put my things in my new room., rent free right ?" Inuyasha said as he went to pick out a room.

Kagome was pacing back and forth in her new 'room' she felt like the girl off of the ring with insomnia what was smore..samore...what ever...this isolation was killing her.

The door to her room came open. Hojo stepped in. "Time for dinner, Master's leaving soon so he want's you to eat with him." he told her.

Kagome walked our the room her head held high.

"I heard about your pathetic attempt to get the agents attention ." he said to her.

"I heard about your pathetic attempt to get it up one night entertaining Kagura" Kagome said "No wonder your stuck up masters ass...that's how you like it right"

"I'd be nice to me Kagome if I were you I can make your life a living hell once Master goes away." he said as he took her into the kitchen where array of foods were set out. there was lobster roast beef, vegetables. Wine for Naraku, . Kagome looked at the food she was hungry, she had to keep up he strength for her and her baby if she was going to put her plan into action.

"Ah my pet you have arrived." Naraku said from his seat at the head of the table

Kagome didn't say anything she sat down she glanced in the other room where Sesshoumaru had been not to long ago. Naraku saw where her eyes went.

"He's not there." Naraku said. "He'll never be there."

Kagome looked at the food before her, "I know that now so you don't have to kill him. I understand this is my life, my mom has moved on remarried has another child. I won't try to runaway again master."

"Good to hear you have come around." Naraku said

"You'll leave Sesshoumaru alone then right?" she asked him.

"For now." Naraku said

After they ate she watched as the butler took Naraku's bags out the house and to the waiting limo. "I'm going now pet don't let Hojo tell me you were disobedient while I was gone." he told her.

Kagome turned away from him. Naraku turned her around and kissed her hard on her lips before leaving..

Naraku had been gone for three days now, and Kagome's plan was falling into action.

Kagome had befriend a lot of the kitchen staff. she had to do this quickly Naraku would be returning Friday. Kagome was scheduled to go out in the garden in a few minutes. She watched as the cook placed a plate down on the kitchen table for Hojo, he would be in soon to eat his lunch.

She grabbed a bottle that she had gotten from the cook and poured a small amount into his mashed potatoes before mixing it up the cook acted like he saw nothing. Kagome still had more than half of the bottle left just incase she would have to try again she looked for a place to stash it.

She hid the bottle with Kagura's things. and walked over to Kagura when Hojo came in the kitchen. "Kagura I'm ready for my walk." she said.

"Don't let her be out there to long."Hojo told Kagura.

"I won't, under masters orders not yours" Kagura said

Hojo began eating his mashed potatoes as Kagome and Kagura went into the garden, "Kagura I'm going to try and leave today I have to , I don't want my baby to go through what I go through." she told her as they walked around in the garden.

"What about the guards?" Kagura asked

"I have to take my chances." she said. Kagura hugged her. "Good luck and remember to take the back roads." Kagura reminded her. "When I bend down to fix my shoe run." Kagura told her.

Kagura bent down and faked tying her shoe taking longer than needed as she heard Kagome take off.

Kagome took off through the rose bushes she saw the black iron gate, she didn't see any guards around, she touched the gate and the alarms went off.

She pushed hard onto the gate trying to open it, but it barely budged.

Hojo heard the alarms and got up but was stopped when his stomach began to hurt, The guards came running their guns drawn.

Freeze!" one of the guards said as they pointed their gun at Kagome.

If she ran they would shoot her and the baby ,if she stayed what would Naraku do?"

Kagome put her hands up, she would face punishment from Naraku, she knew he wouldn't beat her because of the baby.

The guards marched her back into the mansion. Kagura had come in side to see the guards take Kagome back to her room and locked her in.
