Sesshoumaru sat with the puppies while Inuyasha went to see his girlfriend. Sesshoumaru had went to the hospital earlier and found that both Kohaku and Rin were stable and able to talk.
FLASHBACK
"Rin what do you remember from when you were gone?" Sesshoumaru asked her.
"I remember Kagome and Kohaku and being in this room, that was always dark, being beat, made to do different things for food."
"Do you remember your captor's face?"
Rin shook her head no. "I'm sorry." she said.
"It's not your fault sweetheart." Sesshoumaru said he touched her face and Rin instantly backed away from him. She was scared of him for that matter any man.
"You get some rest you'll be going home tomorrow." he told her.
Miroku waited outside the room. "Rin might need therapy after she's released." Sesshoumaru told him.
"Yeah I know, I'm just glad that she's back." Miroku said. "Thanks Sesshoumaru for not giving up on her when everyone else did." Miroku said and went in Rin's hospital room.
Sesshoumaru then walked down the hall of the hospital and found Kohaku's room, he knocked before he went in. "Come in ." he heard Kohaku's sister say.
"Sango, Kohaku, do you mine if I ask you a few questions?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"I remember that he always made sure I was fed, and bathed, he never raped me, master main thing was making Kagome submit, which she has done after all the beatings and broken limbs she was given." Kohaku told him.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you anymore the rest is a blank." Kohaku said.
"No that's ok you just get better Kohaku." he told him.
End of Flashback
Sesshoumau fed Fluffy and Max. Sesshoumaru had the day off and was spending it with the pups, he needed to find Kagome and soon, Inuyasha was right much as he hated to admit it, there was no proof that Naraku had any connection to Kagome, Kohaku or Rin.
Since Inuyasha was gone for the day and hopefully the night Sesshoumaru went and took a shower leaving the pups to eat and play.
Ever since Naraku had bought up Sara, she had been on Sesshoumaru's mind, he had tried to put her murder behind him. After he took his shower he went in to his bedroom and did something he hadn't done in a while he went to sleep.
Kagome sat in her prison waiting for Naraku to return home she look at the monitors and saw a black limo pull up, Master had returned. She watched as he came in the house and was greeted by Hojo.
Hojo told him what Kagome had done. Naraku was beyond angry, Kagome shivered as she saw him coming towards the door. The door slammed open and Kagome shrank back.
Naraku slammed the door behind him and walked over to her he slapped her across the face her cheek would bruise later on. "I warned you not to try anything." He growled.
Kagome was still holding her cheek.
"I tried being nice to you I even freed those brats, but you still try me." he said as he walked around her fallen form like a spider to a butterfly.
Naraku looked at her thinking of how to punish her. He couldn't beat her she was pregnant, what could he do then he smiled to himself. He looked down at her.
"Get up my little whore." he said.
When Kagome didn't obey Naraku bent down and grabbed her by her hair digging his claws into her scalp. Kagome cried as his claws dug in her scalp.
"You will join me for dinner Hojo will bring you out." he growled before throwing her on the bed and leaving the room.
Kagome curled up on the bed and cried, he hadn't been this angry at her since she had first come here.
Hojo came and got Kagome pushing her out the room, Kagome stumbled, but didn't fall.
Naraku was dressed in light blue shirt and black pants but they weren't in the kitchen they were in the dinning hall, this room was used only for special occasions. Kagome stood before Naraku.
"You will not be sitting in a chair from now on you have lost your sitting privileges." A large pillow was bought out and placed on the floor by Naraku.
"Have a seat." he said to her.
Kagome bent down and sat on the pillow, she was his pet and she had defied her master.
"Should I be a nice Master and feed you table scraps or should you receive dog food?" Naraku asked.
Kagome head was still hurting from his claws, she wouldn't answer him, she wanted her baby to live. "Table scraps master." she finally said.
He ate to his fill making sure to leave enough for Kagome and the baby, he put the plate on the floor beside her. "Now eat like the bitch you are" He ordered.
Kagome used her hands and ate what was left when she was done she was still hungry, her stomach growled for more food.
Naraku sent her back to her room with out her having the chance to ask for more. Kagome cried for a long time, she was so hungry her baby was punishing her by kicking her innards.
The next morning Kagome was given a bath and dressed it was breakfast time she was brought to the kitchen this time Hojo was there seated along with Naraku the cook had just placed the breakfast on the table. Kagura started to fix Kagome a plate when Naraku stopped her.
"Dogs are not fixed plates they are given scraps." Naraku said.
"She's pregnant, how can you do this to her, it's my fault she ran I scared her." Kagura said.
"And how did you scare her?' Naraku asked
Kagura looked at Kagome. "I showed her my powers and showed her what I would do if she ever tried to run, and I guessed I scared her so bad that she ran." Kagura said.
"Why would you show her your powers?" He growled out.
"I was bored." Kagura said.
"Thought you were friends" Hojo said.
"I thought you had a dick." Kagura said.
"Never heard you complain" Hojo said.
"Its called faking" Kagura said.
Kagura took the plate with food on it in front of Kagome. "Now let her eat, it was my mistake, don't punish her any further." Kagura said as she saw the bruise on Kagome's cheek
"I'm sorry I made you run" She said rubbing her cheek softly. Kagome smiled at her Kagura was putting her self on the line for her. Kagome wouldn't touch her food. She looked at her master. "Let her eat." Kagura said.
"You may eat but next time you run you'll starve." Naraku said.
Kagome ate, Kagura watched her Kagome was really hungry. "See that she was starving. How can yo be so cruel knowing she's carrying your baby."Kagura said.
Hojo shook his head Kagura was treading on dangerous grounds with Naraku.
"Less cruel considering I canceled the abortion" Naraku said.
Kagome finished her food, Kagura didn't wait for any permission she filled Kagome's plate back up.
"There you go, here's you orange juice as well, you have to be healthy so when your little one comes you can take care of it." Kagura said. Hojo looked at Naraku.
Naraku growled he would deal with her later, but for now he left taking Hojo with him.
Hojo followed Naraku to his study. "I thought you like to know Kohaku and Rin had there shards removed, Sesshoumaru was there the whole time he asked them about Kagome. Seems Kohaku and Rin remember her but not you."
"Good the plans working." Naraku said.
"What plan, did you hear what I said the shards have been removed Sesshoumaru is not going to stop looking for her." Hojo said.
"Yes but they knew me as master, they don't remember what I look like only what I've done to them...he will fail with Kagome just like he did with Sara" Naraku said.
Kagome had her fill, her baby seemed content, she had her hand on her stomach. "I'm sorry baby I wish I could save you, I don't know what will happen once your born." she said.
Hojo came out. " Master wants to see you in his study." he told her
Kagome was quick to follow his orders as she made her way to his study going as fast as possible.
Once there she opened the door she had no idea what he was going to say or do to her.
"Yes Master?" she said putting her hand on her stomach.
Naraku looked at her, her stomach was just beginning to stick out. "Have a seat Kagome." he said to her. Kagome sat down in the chair.
"Because of your disobedience for trying to run I have changed my mind about the agent." Naraku told Kagome.
Kagome was going to protest but what if he changed his mind about the abortion. "Hai master it will not happen again" Kagome said i 'Next time I won't get caught' /i she said to herself.
"I know it won't, when the baby is born you will only be allowed to feed it, other than that no contact with it." he told her.
Kagome looked at him. "You don't have to kill the agent because of me, and as Kagura said she scared me that was the only reason why I ran."
"That might be true but who said I had to keep my word." Naraku said.
"I won't let you kill the my angel!" she yelled.
"Your angel or your baby choose." Naraku said
She didn't know what to say how was she to choose her baby's life over the man that was trying to find her. "My baby." she said loud enough for him to hear.
"You are dismissed." Naraku said.
Kagome walked out the room heart broken, as she was walking to the kitchen she saw Kagura and ran to her and began to cry.
"Kagome what's wrong?" Kagura asked her.
"He made me choose." She sobbed.
"Choose what?" Kagura asked.
"My baby or my angel" Kagome cried.
"What did you choose?" Kagura asked.
"My baby". She choked out.
"Shh, it's ok I know it was hard but you have to take care of your baby. Hey go rest in your room ok." she told her.
"Why where are you going?" Kagome asked her.
"To have a talk with him." Kagura told her and went in the direction of Naraku's study.
Kagura stormed down the halls she was so angry she almost forgot to ask for entrance.
"Come in." she heard him say. Kagura walked in slamming the door behind her.
"How dare you make her choose her baby's life over another!" she yelled.
"How dare I do all that I do...why question this action why not question all the others?" Naraku said.
"She is dead inside because of you, wasn't Kikyo enough! Kagome was more like a baby when she was taken from her mom! she has permeant marks on her body because of you, do you even care that she's lonely, or that she limps!" she said. Kagura didn't care right now if he punished her she was mad.
"Why would I care?" Naraku asked "She is just like another Kikyo...I didn't care when I took Rin or Kohaku and they were fresh from the womb."
"Then kill her end her suffering, before she goes crazy like Kikyo did.." Kagura said.
"She won't break so soon she has a child to live for." Naraku said. Kagura left the study slamming the door behind her.
Sesshoumaru watched as the puppies played, he decided he was going back to Naraku's home. He left the puppies taking his car keys and drove off to Naraku's home.
Kagura walked into Kagome's room with a smile on her face she had a plan.
"Hey I have plan to get you out here, it may cost me my life but I don't care you don't deserve this." Kagura said.
"Kagura.." Kagome said.
"No it's okay tonight after everyone is asleep I'm leave your door unlocked and then you go out in the garden, by the Koi pond there is an entrance that is not guarded, animals come in and out of it all the time, go out through that way." Kagura told her.
I can't leave you please come with me please." Kagome sobbed.
"I can't Kagome, I told you I'd die for you and I will, you take care of yourself and the baby." Kagura told her and left, locking the door behind her.
The bell rang. Kagura watched from the hall as a handsome man came in the house.
"Her angel" She whispered knowing the demonic man could possibly hear her.
Sesshoumaru turned his head, he heard a female voice, but didn't see any one. Naraku came out.
"Agent Tashio back again didn't we discuss that last time I never meant the girl." he said
"What do your servants and staff call you?" Sesshomaru asked.
"To my face or behind my back?" Naraku asked him.
"Your face of course..it would take to long if it was behind your back" Sesshomaru said.
Naraku growled. "As you know your brother calls me Mr. Oksa, and as for my servants they call me sir, or Naraku -sama. Anything else?" he asked Sesshoumaru.
"And your slaves called you what?" Sesshomaru said.
"Heh, I have no slaves, and if you continue to harass me I will have your badge!"Naraku told him.
"Harassment Naraku I was merely asking a question..I'm a curious man." Sesshomaru said preparing to leave.
"Wasn't curiosity what killed your friend?" Naraku asked
"Depends on who you speak of...a lot of my 'friends' have died." Sesshomaru said "I must take my leave..I'll keep in touch good day"
Kagome ate her dinner, she watched Hojo and Naraku eat, "When do you want me to take him out?' Hojo asked Naraku.
"Soon." Naraku said.
Hojo looked at Kagome, "Looks like the Prince isn't going to save the poor Princess." Hojo said.
"Don't be so sure." she said.
Kagura I think its time our damsel retires for the night." Naraku said
Kagome got up but walked over to Hojo first, she slapped Hojo in the face.
"Never talk about him." she said and followed Kagura to her room.
They entered her room when Kagura turned on her. "I can't believe you hit him" Kagura said.
"I can't believe you mentioned me when he was here." Kagome said.
"Well I'll be back later after I know he's asleep, he'll most likely come in here to see you before he goes to sleep, by the Koi pond you'll find some food in a bag I left for you." Kagura told her.
"Koi pond...back roads...find angel...get help...send here...find siblings" Kagome said "Got ya"
"Be careful." she said it was late now Naraku was getting ready to go to bed but first he was going to pay a visit tohis pet.
"Get rest its good for the baby." Kagura said and with that she hugged the younger girl and left the room.
Naraku came in the room and locked the door behind him. "Did you enjoy hitting Hojo?" he asked her. Kagome rubbed her eyes she was use to waking up whenever she heard his voice.
"Hai master I did." Kagome answered him.
"Hmm, get your rest I will be waking you personally tomorrow I'm in need of your services." he told her.
"Yes master" Kagome said, as she closed her eyes letting sleep claim her it would be a long walk.
Naraku had finally went to sleep, Kagura made sure that Hojo was sleep as well, she came down the stairs and didn't make a sound and carefully unlocked the door. "It's up to you now Kagome." she said and went back to her room.
Kagome had only slept for an hour or so when she heard her door creak open.
Kagome slowly got up she looked at the door making sure it wasn't her master or Hojo, when she didn't see anyone she walked out the room closing the door behind her even locking it, she tiptoed to the kitchen and opened the back door slowly and walked out, it was chilly out.
Kagome walked over to where the Koi pond was and saw the bag of food Kagura left for her. She grabbed the bag and looked for the entrance that Kagura spoke of, when she spotted a deer walking through what seemed to be wall.
"A wall?" Kagome whispered as she walked over to it, she was scared and happy at the same time, she was going to be free finally. She took a deep breath and walked through the wall. She opened her eyes to see the woods, and began the long journey to her freedom, praying to Kami that Kagura be okay.
