Kagome went back in the room, to see Inuyasha and them talking, Inuyasha hadn't even noticed that Kagome had been gone.
"Hey Kagome where were you?" Inuyasha asked her.
"I was on the balcony." she said and sat back down.
"I wonder what they talked about on the balcony." Shippo said, "You think he's your rival for her?" Shippo asked Sesshoumaru.
"He's not my rival I have no interest in her that way." Sesshoumaru said.
"So what do, we do?" Shippo asked the two males.
"Nothing we can do till she comes home." Sesshoumaru said.
Bankotsu got up and got a beer, for him and Sesshoumaru. The two continued to listen in at the party.
"My feet hurt" Kagome complained "Is anybody leaving soon?"
"Just eat." Inuyasha said. "Sango can you take Kagome back to my overbearing brother?" he asked her.
"Just eat? How will that help my feet?" Kagome asked her anger overriding her irritation.
"I don't know, you were the one getting all cozy with my boss." he said.
"Inu." Kirara said in warning.
"What do you mean cozy I never talked to your boss" Kagome said.
"What? you just left with him, are you that pregnant that you don't remember leaving with him?" he asked her.
"No I didn't I left alone" Kagome said "I think I would remember talking to someone" And as if on cue her wrist began to hurt
"How does she not remember?" Shippo asked Sess and Bank.
"Someone made her forget" Bankotsu said getting serious.
"Why would they do that?" Shippo asked as he took Sesshoumaru's sandwich.
"Because they're bad people who steal things" Sesshoumaru said with a double meaning.
"Oh I would never steal." Shippo said taking a bite of the sandwich.
"I see he takes after the puppy." Bankotsu said.
"I'm making myself another sandwich." Sesshoumaru said. "Let me know if anything else happens."
"So Rin, Haku how's school?" Kagome asked.
"Hard" Kohaku said "Math is killing me"
"Social studies is hard for me to" Rin said.
"I'm really good in social studies and I'm decent in math" Kagome said "I can tutor you again I need to refresh my memory maybe go back to school"
"Thanks Kagome." They both said.
"I think Kirara and I are going to go, so Sango make sure she get's home." Inuyasha said.
"I will." Sango said.
"Ok, Kagome see you tomorrow afternoon." Inuyasha said rising and helping Kirara up.
"Bye you two." Kagome said.
"It seems Inu's boss likes you." Sango said.
"Well he gives me the creeps" Kagome said, Rin and Kohaku agreeing
Muso found Naraku talking to Abi.
"Can I talk to you?" Muso asked him.
"Leave us Abi." Naraku commanded. Abi walked away to get some thing to drink.
"Talk" Naraku commanded.
"I'm asking you as a friend to leave Souta and Sakura out of this, and the little boy staying with Kagome." he said.
"Souta and Sakura fine but the little boy might get in the way." Naraku said.
"You have already taken his mother." Muso said.
"Hojo did that, as long as the kid doesn't become to much of a problem he'll live." Naraku said as he saw Kagome walking out the room.
"Speaking of your step daughter and her companions" Naraku said smirking.
"Yes I'll go so you can have your talk with her." Muso said.
Kagome was standing by the water fountain, she took her shoes off. "I'll be glad when your born, I think angel, puppy and Shippo are going to love you." she said.
Naraku saw her by herself.
"What about master?" Naraku asked her.
Kagome looked at him. "Master you can't have him." she said.
"But he is mine." Naraku said.
"I want him to have a better life than I had, he can have that with Angel." she said. Naraku narrowed his eyes at her.
"When my son is born you'll be coming back with me." he told her.
"No I wont!" Kagome yelled.
Naraku didn't need an audience he walked closer to her and pinched a nerve in her neck, knocking her out and erasing her memory of the talk and replacing it with memories of the party.
Sango came out to see Kagome in Naraku's arms.
"What happened to her?" she asked.
"She fainted." He lied, the children didn't believe him.
"Oh, do you mind carrying her out to the car?" Sango asked him, as Rin and Kohaku glared at him.
"No not at all" Naraku said.
Miroku came out with his head hurting, "Hey what happened to Sess's girl?" Miroku asked.
"Sis, fainted." Rin said as she picked up Kagome's shoes.
"Oh." Miroku said "Where is she going?"
"Taking her back to Sesshoumaru's ."Kohaku told him. As Naraku carried Kagome out to the car.
"Oh so fluffy done got her full time lucky dog" Miroku said rubbing his head.
Naraku growled low in his throat, he was going to enjoy killing Sesshoumaru. After Naraku placed Kagome in the back of the car, he turned to Sango.
"Drive safely" He lied smirking "No need for an accident now"
Sango got in as did Miroku and the kids who sat in back with their big sister.
"When is Kagome getting back and why isn't Inuyasha coming home?" Shippo asked Sesshoumaru, Bankotsu had went home.
"You know about spring right?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Yeah" Shippo said.
"Well spring has come early for Inuyasha and his date" Sesshoumaru said.
"Oh, eww. I didn't wanna know that, is that why Kagome is having a baby, and where is the real dad?" he asked as he helped Sesshoumaru clean up.
"No Kagome is having a baby because a man said it was spring time and she didn't" Sesshoumaru said
"Oh, he hurt Gome huh, but you won't let him hurt her again right?" Shippo asked him.
"No never again". Sesshomaru said.
"Uh Sesshoumaru where are the puppies?" Shippo said looking around the room. Shippo spotted Fluffy and Max chewing on Sesshoumaru's shoe.
"Dead...your all dead." Sesshoumaru growled, that's when the door opened and Kagome walked in she didn't acknowledge the boys she went to the window and opened it and flashed the lights on and off to let Sango know she was safe.
"Kagome!" Shippo yelled.
Kagome turned around she looked afraid. " Night" she said beginning to go up the steps.
"Wait Gome." Shippo said.
"Yeah Shippo" She said not turning around.
"Aren't you going to tell us about tonight?" he asked her. The puppies ran over to Kagome to get away from the angry Inu demon.
"There was a beginning a middle and an end...I can't remember talking to someone twice but everyone else can...my feet hurt..I keep being kicked in my organs by my baby and that's all" Kagome said trying to escape.
Sesshoumaru walked over to her, "Did someone threaten you ?" he asked turning her around to face him.
"What's your definition of threaten?" Kagome asked dumbly.
"Were you alone with Inuyasha's boss?"
"That's what they told me" Kagome said "But I swear I don't remember it"
"Ok, I guess you want some sleep maybe you'll remember in the morning." he said to her. Kagome nodded her head, she picked up the pups who were more than happy to be in her arms.
"Were you going to hurt them?" she asked petting their heads.
"No" He lied and Shippo snitched on him.
"Yes he was Kagome, he was going to hurt them." Shippo said, sticking his tongue at Sesshoumaru.
"Tattle tail." Sesshoumaru said.
"Poor fluffy, max." she said placing kisses on their heads. "Come on you'll sleep with me tonight till your daddy comes back." she said leaving Shippo and Sesshoumaru downstairs.
Shippo laughed as he saw the flash of want in Sesshoumaru's eyes. "To be those puppies." He taunted.
Naraku changed his clothes and went into the room he was still having prepared for his son, the room was almost done, and if he counted right, she would have the baby in a three more months, Hojo limped in the nursery, his leg was in a cast.
"I see you still live." Naraku said.
Hojo didn't say anything at first. "Yes sir I learned my lesson it won't happen again." he said.
"There will be no again" Naraku said.
"Of course not I won't do anything without your permission, I only killed her because she saw me." Hojo said just in case Naraku was thinking about killing him.
"You orphaned a child." Naraku said "Maybe I should orphan you"
"It's no worse than what you have planned for Kagome and her baby." he said.
"Do you want your little brothers to be put in an orphanage?" Naraku asked.
"How can they be put in an orphanage when they are with my mom, you wouldn't dare kill my mother." he said.
"You killed that little boys mother" Naraku said.
Hojo glared at him, "Leave my family alone sir." he said in a clipped tone.
"Follow orders and I might." Naraku said.
"Who is going to follow her while I'm like this?" Hojo asked him. As he thought of ways to protect his mom, far as his mom knew he was a stock broker, he couldn't bare to tell her the truth.
"Renkotsu or maybe Jakotsu" Naraku said.
Hojo nodded his head. "Since I'm not needed I think I'll go visit some friends." he said as he thought of where to hide his mom and brothers.
"Do as you wish" Naraku said.
Hojo left he had to get a ride from a friend thanks to his broken leg.
The next morning Kagome awoke with the puppies yipping in her ears. "Ok, ok I'm up." she said getting out the bed.
Her son was being quite a bother lately, he was even more active at the party but now he was calm.
Kagome went and took a shower, she put on a pink kimono and put her hair up she was getting tired of it, she wanted to cut it. She took the puppies down and saw Shippo getting ready to takes Sesshoumaru's breakfast.
"Shippo" Kagome scolded "Were going have a talk about stealing"
"I'm sorry Gome." he said
"Shippo your going to find yourself with broken fingers." Sesshoumaru told him.
Kagome rubbed her stomach."You know I was thinking about my son." she said.
"What about him?" Shippo said.
"He was very active last night at the party and now he's all calm. I wonder why?' she said as she sat down in the kitchen chair.
"Mama says that demon babies act that way around their fathers that's why single pregnant demoness don't live during child birth or the baby dies." Shippo said.
Sesshoumaru looked at Shippo, "I heard that too, which means the dad was there." Sesshoumaru said looking at her.
"But wouldn't I have known?" she asked him.
"Do you know who your master is?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"No, I don't remember him. I told you all I know is he had black hair." she said "Master wants my baby." she said in a hopeless voice.
"Who told you this?" Sesshoumaru asked panicked.
"Master." she said.
"So he was at the party" Sesshoumaru said.
"I don't know, maybe he was I just know he said that."
"I thought Inu was watching her." Shippo said.
"He was suppose to" Sesshoumaru said.
"He left early" Kagome said "That's the second time I can't remember talking to Naraku"
Inuyasha walked in the house. "I'm home." he said as he walked in the kitchen to see Sesshoumaru growling at him.
"What did I do now?" he asked.
"You left Kagome alone with her master" Shippo said.
"I did not, he wasn't there!" he yelled.
"Then explain your boss." Sesshoumaru said.
"Oh would you get off that" Inuyasha said.
"How is it she doesn't remember anything every time she's near him!" Sesshoumaru yelled.
"Is her natural hair color blonde?" Inuyasha asked.
"Look please don't fight, it's just the stress of being pregnant and being around people now, I was kept mostly by myself once Haku and Rin were set free." she said.
"Mostly?" Sesshoumaru said.
"I only saw three people and then the staff" Kagome said.
"Who were they?" Sesshoumaru asked
"I saw a man with short black hair, he was tall, he did a lot of errands for master, then there was a woman she to had black hair she was very nice to me and of course master, but he wasn't home in the day time." she said.
"So he is rich, has black hair, was at the party, and works during the day that rules out Inuyasha" Sesshoumaru said.
"Hey, I work I have money." he said as he took Shippo's toast.
"Hey, you bully that's mine." Shippo said.
"Apparently that talk about stealing will include you as well" Kagome said.
"Oh that reminds me, about you car." he said looking at Sesshoumaru.
"What about my car" Sesshoumaru said not wanting to hear the answer.
"Kagome can you stand up?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Why?" she asked him.
"Just do it and back away from the table" Inuyasha said "Its in your best interest"
"Okay" Kagome said standing up and moving away from the table.
"I uh kinda was busy in the car, and it was totaled the good thing is Kirara and I made it out alive." he said.
"That's bad news" Sesshoumaru said growling his eyes flashing red.
"You promised my mom" Inuyasha cried like a girl "Shit!." he said backing away from him. "Shippo do something." he whined.
Shippo did something, he started laughing "Where's the popcorn this will be one heck of a show" He cheered for Sesshoumaru.
"After all I did for you, you traitor."
" Kags please help me I'll do the cooking, cleaning anything, I have pups to live for." he said as he moved out the way just in time, missing Sesshoumaru's claws by mere inches.
"Sesshou" Kagome called out to him "Calm down Sesshou"
Sesshoumaru's eyes slowly tuned back to their beautiful golden color.
"Thank you." Inu said kissing her on the cheek.
Kagome froze for a second but shook it off "No problem...you okay Sesshou?"
"Inuyasha I want a new car I don't care how you get the money but do it." he said now turning to Kagome.
"I'm fine Kagome, thank you, and while your at it a pair of new shoes thanks to your pups." he told Inuyasha.
"I'm never moving out with all this debt I'm in" Inuyasha cried.
"You want to leave us?' Kagome asked.
"Yeah my boss said he could help get me a pet friendly place but doesn't look like I'll be getting it."
Kagome started to cry, no one wanted her, not her parents, not Inuyasha not even her master wanted her.
"Don't cry Kags, I didn't mean I wanted to be away from you, just I have a girlfriend and sometimes I hate going all the way over to her place." he said.
Kagome went from sad to angry, angry at the girl that was taking her puppy away, sad at the thought of him leaving,mad that he had someone to love, sad that she was all alone in the world besides her son and Shippo, her angel even seemed to resent her.
"I can stay a little longer, I'll just take a taxi."Inuyasha said.
"Do you hate me Sessho, for not knowing who took me and still controls my life?" she asked him.
"Hn I do not hate you...I hate who took you" Sesshoumaru said.
Kagome fell to her knees. "No please leave them alone." she cried.
"Kagome" Inuyasha cried "Hurt who?"
"Kagome" Shippo said sobbing.
"Please master I'll do what you want." she cried before passing out.
"What's wrong with her!" Inuyasha demanded slamming his fist on the nurses station counter.
"The doctors are checking her out now will you please sit down." the nurse said.
Inuyasha sat down growling he had called Sango and Miroku, they would be here any second with Tokyo traffic it would be longer than that,but being part youkai, Inuyasha, his brother, Shippo and Kagome ran hear on foot.
The doctors checked her out. "Seems she's fighting someone for control of her body, she conscious but she's afraid to open her eyes." The doctor told Sesshoumaru.
"Have you called her parents?" Dr.Katz asked him.
"I am her guardian" Sesshoumaru said "They no longer care for her"
"Ok, well it's up to her to wake up on her own, her baby is fine." he told him.
"Alright" Sesshoumaru said "May we see her" He asked smelling the humans Kagome called family enter the waiting room.
" Two at a time." Dr.Katz told him.
In Kagome's mind she heard his voice. "You will leave him now or I will kill him." The voice said to her.
"No." She cried "Don't hurt him."
She heard a door open, she heard talking, smelled tears, and heard the door closing again, the door opened again, more talking, more tears, more closing, the door opened again she knew it was Shippo and Inuyasha but she wouldn't open her eyes, she couldn't.
Sesshoumaru walked over to her bedside and took her hand in his. "I'm sorry if I was cold to you, I didn't want to get close to you and then lose you ." he said.
"Don't let him control you I'm here to help you, even the brat and hanyou want to help you." he said.
"Don't leave me Kagome" He pleaded "I can't take it...not again"
She slowly opened her eyes. "He'll kill you if I stay." she said.
"I'm willing to take that chance" Sesshoumaru said.
Kagome smiled at him. "I'm afraid he visits me in my sleep." she said as tears fell down her face.
"Don't let him its your dreams" Sesshoumaru said smiling some, he gave her a chaste kiss on the lips. "What you want is what you get."
" I want to be happy, I want a life." she said sitting up.
Naraku growled as he felt her resisting him. He threw everything off of his desk when the connection was lost completely.
"Renkotsu!" He roared.
Renkotsu came in the office to see everything on the floor, and Naraku's eyes a darker red.
"Master" Renkotsu greeted bowing.
"I want Sesshoumaru Tashio dead, and her bought back to me alive." he told him.
Renkotsu was petrified "Ya yes sir" he said stuttering. "Sir shouldn't I wait for Hojo, he's much better at this than me." he told him
"Hojo is indisposed" Naraku said "He will only get in the way"
"I never killed anyone, I can't even kill a bug." he said.
"Learn quick" Naraku said.
"Tashio isn't known for kindness when one messes with his loved one." Renkotsu said.
"Then kill him first" Naraku said.
"Yes sir, what am I to do with her, she is pregnant she might fight me, and then there is his brother and the kid." he said.
"Leave them be" Naraku said "Don't hit her stomach"
Renkotsu cursed Hojo, this was his job to do not his. "When do you want this done?" he asked Naraku.
"As soon as possible." Naraku said. Renkotsu bowed and left the room.
"So when can she go home?" Inuyasha asked Sess.
"Soon." he said.
"Are you smiling?" Inuyasha asked.
"Hn". Sesshoumaru said.
"You're a cradle robber, you kissed her!" he yelled. Making Shippo and everyone look at the two brothers.
"Sesshoumaru was getting some and giving some" Miroku sang.
"You lecher after telling Shippo and us you had no interest she was just work, you kissed her., Miroku, Sango that will be $200.00 please." Inuyasha said holding out his hand.
"Damn it" Sango cursed,handing over the money.
"If only to be the friction in her jeans" Miroku said handing over his money as well.
"She's pregnant there is no jeans you fall out boy." Sango growled.
"Yes my beautiful flower." he said.
"You bet on me?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"Yea, I knew it was only a matter of time before you couldn't resist her, see Shippo I told you he liked big girls." he said counting his money.
"I do not like big girls" Sesshoumaru said "She is not big...she is pregnant"
"Uh huh, how long after this one is she carrying yours?" Inuyasha asked him.
"That will be another bet" Sango said "I need my money back"
"Hell no, I need this to buy a car." he said putting the money in his pocket.
"And shoes" Shippo added.
"That too." Inuyasha cell phone went off.
"How do you have money for a phone and can't pay your brother?" Shippo asked him.
"Hush, it's my boss." he said "Mr. Oksa what can I do for you?"
"I wanted to know if your still up for that apartment...I pulled a few strings and it will be next to free all you have to do is give them a sob story...bring the kid with you that will help" Naraku said.
"Really, that's great, but I don't think my brother's going to let me go I ruined his car last night." Sesshoumaru snatched the phone from Inu.
"Hey!" Inuyasha said.
"I'm sorry Mr. Oksa Inuyasha can't come to the phone right now he will have to reschedule" Sesshoumaru growled out.
"Sesshoumaru, do you always stick your nose in other's people business.?"
"Give me the phone! Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha growled.
Sesshoumaru growled into the phone before handing it to Inuyasha, he left and went back to Kagome's room.
"Sorry about that sir, but I have to decline for now at least till I have the money for his car and shoes." he said.
"I see, I'll try to get them to hold it for as long as I can." he told him and hung up.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked him.
"Naraku." Sesshoumaru growled.
"Inu's boss, you two don't like each other huh?" she said.
"Dislike is not the word for it" Sesshoumaru said growling.
"He seems to like Inu ,from what I could see." she said.
"I don't want you going to anymore parties where he is." he told her
"Why not?" Kagome asked.
"He seems to like you from what I heard" Sesshoumaru growled out.
"Oh, well I don't like him like that." she said. "Or in any other way" She added.
"Mine" Sesshoumaru wanted to scream, he wanted to claim her, his fangs lengthened at the thought.
"My baby when it's born can you promise me that even if I die you'll take care of him?" she asked him.
"I won't let you die" Sesshoumaru said.
"Just promise" Kagome said.
"You can't die" Sesshoumaru said.
"Please promise" Kagome begged.
"I promise. If you leave this world I'll take care of him."
"Thank you." she said.
