Chapter 4: You've crossed the well drawn line
Sesshomaru smirked as he laid in bed, watching Kagome limp toward the door. He had just punished her again two days before, Yasahiro's fourth birthday. It must have been have been more agonizingly painful than he had first assumed to have her still limping after such a long time, and that made him feel good. It was her fault and hers alone that she had been erotically chastised in the first place. There she had been at their son's birthday party, talking to Naraku! Probably flirting, the no good wench. And the way Naraku's hand had gripped her to him so tightly as they danced. Oh, she knew what she had done. Ofcourse she had. There was no excuse, no reasonable alibi. Kagome had done this on purpose to frustrate him, and he had simply done his job and made sure she felt a great deal of pain because of her crime. "Where are you going?"
She glared at him, biting back a rude comment. There was no way she'd give him any reason to do what he had done to her two days ago. The vertex of the angle which was made by her thighs was still throbbing from the forceful thrust of her husband's rage induced fit. "Ahem," She began, proceeding in a throaty tone, "I'm running to a drug store. Then I'll be stopping by the bookstore for some things for me and a few stories for Yasa." Clenching her fists, she asked, "Do you need anything?"
Kami, how he enjoyed this torture. "What will you be purchasing from the drug store?"
"Just some household items, alcohol, peroxide, cottonballs, feminine products." Her tone led him to believe that there was more. She turned to leave and just as her hand hit the knob, he called out to her again. Cringing, she questioned, "Yes?"
"And?" He challenged her with a glare that promised pain if she didn't tell him what she had purposely left out. No doubt, if she kept it from him, he would either be angry or find it highly amusing. THis would be good either way. He was in the mood to punish her again.
Kagome stared at him angrily, her eyes flaming and bleeding red, but she calmed herself. "I...I'm just getting something to soothe the pain. Some cream, a hot and cold patch, anything."
Celebrating his success inwardly, he nodded and closed his eyes. "You may buy your products, but nothing that can alleviate the pain. The purpose of the pain is to remind you that your misdeeds will not go unnoticed. Leave me."
Glad to be free of the room, she crept to Yasahiro's room to check to see if he was still sleeping. Once it was confirmed that he was, she took her leave. She drove off outraged at her husband's audacity to claim she had done wrong. Sesshomaru was so lucky to have Yasahiro. He just didn't know that his son was the only thing holding Kagome there. She stayed simply to ensure that Yasahiro got the love of both parents like he deserved. Just because she wanted away from Sesshomaru, she didn't have a right to take him away from his father whol he looked up to.
SsSsSsSs
Sighing silently, Sesshomaru sat up and exited his room, calling all of his servants, chefs, and maids to the livingroom. "You are all excused for the day. Do not ask why, simply be glad that my generousity is bestowed upon you today. You are dismissed." A smirk creeped onto his face as they left, then snapping out his cell phone, he dialed the seven digits he was so acquainted with.
"Hello?" Came a groggy, tired feminine voice.
"Kagura." He said the name seductively.
Perking up, Kagura sat up, stroking her hair and wiping the slob from her mouth as though he could see her. "Lord S-Sesshomaru, I'm surprised you called. I was just stepping out of the shower." She lied, hoping to arouse him before she arrived. It was obvious that that was why he was calling. They held no real relationship, but she just knew he'd come to his senses and leave that Kagome wench to be with her. He loved her, not Kagome.
Sesshomaru nearly snorted, catching the lie the second it left her lips. But he ignored it, letting out a fake groan. "I can only imagine you soaked in water, my dear. Listen, darling," He could almost laugh at how he was playing her like a fiddle, a computer game, playing her like the dumb wench that she was, "Yasahiro is sleeping in his room. Kagome has left. We have atleast an hour before her return."
"I'll be right over!" She shouted eagerly, trying to hop out of bed, but falling with her legs tangled in the sheets with a THUD! "I, um, I mean. Sure, Sesshomaru." She tried to talk as enticingly as possible despite her position. She cold only imagine Sesshomaru laughing at her like a fool. -Stupid!-
"Kagura! What happened?!" Naraku yelled to his daughter from his room, holding his pillow over his head, not caring whether he got an answer or not.
"Nothing, father!" She shouted back.
Sesshomaru shook his head at her childishness. "Do not be late, Kagura." Hanging up, he snorted. He was only sleeping with her in hopes of killing two birds with one stone, angering Kagome and Naraku. So far, Kagome had not shown much emotion, but he could practically smell her jealousy. And Naraku didn't know yet. He was waiting for just the right time to cut Kagura loose and watch her scramble to her father like the mere spiderling she was. -Wench better not waist my time.- He thought, setting on the couch. It did not take long for Kagura to arrive. Opening the door, he did not other greeting her, only snatched of her closed as the made their way up the stairs. He dropped her thong to the ground at the top of the stairs, pushing her towards the room. A hiss leapt from his lips when she slammed the door to his bedroom and he snagged her arm tightly. "Do not wake my son."
"Sorry, 'Shomaru." She pouted, kissing him again.
Yasahiro's eyes fluttered open when he heard a door slammed. After yawning, he took a deep breath to replenish his lungs with air. The hairs in his nostrils burned as he smelled Kagura's arousal. Opening his door, he peeked out, "Mommy? Father?" He walked out, looking around when he slipped on said discarded thong and tumbled down the steps. His head his the ground hard at the bottom. Vision funny, he tried to push himself up when he felt his hair matting together. He reached up and touched the spot, lowering his hand to reveal blood. Whimpering, he fell to the ground, "Mommy? Daddy?" Unconciousness consumed him, a dark very unwelcoming to a little boy.
Sesshomaru bolted up. Kagura looked around. "What's wrong?"
"Hn." He shrugged, devouring her neck. -I simply thought I heard something.-
SsSsSsSs
Kagome hobbled around the book store. Already in her arms were "Captive In Kyoto", "Kiss of the Geisha", and "Kyoto Connection", all of which seeming to be good books to distract her from her abusive, pig headed bastard of a husband. Now for Yasahiro. "The Little Bitty Snake by Chisana Chisana Hebi." She nodded, setting it on top of her own books. "Fang the Fiery Dragon. Oh, Yasa loves dragons. This is perfect for him. One more." Slowly, she sifts through the shelf filled with books she just knows her son will enjoy. Gasping, she squeals with joy upon reaching a book she'd read for her little step sister Kaede. "Little Daruma and Little Daikoku! How Kawaii. I can't believe they have it. I could find it anywhere else."
"I'm surprised." A raspy, old man's voice startles her.
Jumping, she turned around, dropping her books. "U-uh."
He chuckled. "Pardon me, young lady." He bent over and picked up her books, returning them to her arms. "I am Totosai, the owner of this store."
"Oh, thank you, Totosai."
"As I was saying, I'm surprised you couldn't find the book anywhere else. It's so popular."
She nodded eagerly. "I know. But, I guess supply and demand kicked in. Too many people wanted the book and they were bought out before I arrived. Luckily I foudn it in your store."
Totosai smiled at her. "Not many people come here. I hardly ever run out of a book."
Kagome's eyes brightened. "Then I've got to come here more often and buy you out, Totosai! I've seen tons of book on this trip here! But I didn't bring much, so I'll be back soon for more, okay?!"
"Looks like now I have a regular customer."
"Of course. And you'll never get rid of me." She smirked. "Shall we ring these up?"
He nodded, leading her to the front desk and scanning her books. "That will be 9,478.05 yen. But, seeing as you are a regular customer. You can only pay 9, 200, my dear."
"Thank you." She handed over the cash, a frown settling on her face when a bad feeling rushed through her body.
"Is something wrong?"
She nodded, taking the bag. "Arigato. Something must be wrong at home. Excuse me." She rushed out, jumping into her car and racing home. When she arrived, she ignored her bag and rushed in, smelling blood and arousal. But not just blood...Yasahiro's blood. She ran to the source, horrified to find her baby on the floor at the base of the stair, bleeding and unconcious. -Sesshomaru is a dead demon!- Scooping him up, she licked his wound clean, holding in the tears as she cradled him to her bosom. "You'll be okay, Yasa. I'm sure of it."
He opened his eyes slightly. "M-mommy?"
"Yasa." She rejoiced in her head. "My baby, I'm so happy you're okay." She kissed him all over, carrying him out to the car. "Wait here." She instructed, buckling him into the booster seat before storming up to her bedroom and throwing open her bedroom door. "Kagura, get the hell out now! I need to talk to Sesshomaru!" She growled angrily, her crimson eyes piercing through Kagura's body as it lays on Sesshomaru's. "Now, wench!"
Jumping up, Kagura scrambled out, gathering her clothes and sliding them on as she went, finally exiting the house and slamming the door behind her.
Sesshomaru growled, jumping up. "What the hell is wrong with you, woman?!"
"What's wrong with me?! What's wrong with me?!" She calmed her self, asking strangely tranquilly, "Do you have any idea where our son is?"
Glaring at her, he barked, "Sleeping in his room."
She shook her head. "Sniff again."
Raising his head to sniff the air, his eyes widened. He asked lowly, "Where is he?"
"Out in the car. I found him bleeding and unconcious at the bottom of the steps. He slipped on Kagura's thong, I assume. And where was his father?" Her eyes filled with angry tears. "Where the hell was his father, Sesshomaru?!" She slapped him across the face. "His father was too damn busy fucking some whore to notice him slip out of his room! His father obviously sent the help out! Had he not, someone would have seen him slip out! But no, his father is a self righteous, sex driven, perverted, arrogant ass demon!" She glared into his rutilant (glowing a bright, healthy red) eyes with her own when he grabbed her neck. "What are you going to do? Snap my neck, Sesshomaru? You're an unfit father. Without me, our son has no true parent." Her head snapped back with the force he used to slap her. She simply licked the blood from her lips as though it hadn't happened.
"How dare you?! How dare you strike me and call me an unfit parent?!"
"I speak the truth. What kind of parent, you tell me, is too buys having sex that he is oblivious to the stench of his son's blood in his home? I'm sure he call you. In fact, I know he probably did. Sesshomaru, when I leave him in your care, it is your duty as his father to care for him. A father is loving, caring, compassionate, protective. I can't allow him to live life with a useless, unqualified father. Which is perfect because Yasahiro no longer has a father." She raked her claws along his arms, diggin deeper until he released her and stared at her blankly. Moving around him, she grabbed a bag and began to through some credit cards, clothes, shoes, a toothbrush, and other needed products before heading to Yasahiro's room, Sesshomaru just behind her. She grabbed some clothes and shoes for her son, along with his essentials and a few toys. Sesshomaru trailed behind her silently, materializing before the front door when she tried to leave. "Get out of the way."
He stared down at her. "You will not leave, and you will not take my son."
Kagome sighed. "Sesshomaru, don't act like you care about him now. Move now or I'll use force."
"I do care for him." He wrapped his arms around her waist gently, hoping to get a point across without words.
"Sesshomaru, you don't care about me either, so screw you." She pushed him back. "Now step aside."
He placed his hands on her shoulder, leaning down to kiss her neck. Sesshomaru kissed a trail up her neck, across her jaw, and to her lips gently. "Kagome, you are mine."
She raised her elbow and nudged him away. "I don't think so." She materialized outside, walking towards her car. She stopped moving when she felt Sesshomaru fingers wound around her fingers. "Sesshomaru, you have five seconds."
"You will return." He ordered sternly but softly.
"Of course." She answered, pulling her wrist away and sliding into the car. "I have to come get a few more of my and MY son's things. Goodbye, Sesshomaru."
He narrowed his eyes at her. "Kagome, you are not allowed to leave me or take OUR son anywhere that I will not be joining you."
She exhaled slowly. "Sesshomaru, I am. For a while now, I've been old enough to leave. Remember the deal?" She questioned, seeing a flicker of pained recognition in his eyes. "I've tried staying for Yasahiro. I thought he needed you. I drew a line, Sesshomaru. I've drawn countless lines, Sesshomaru!" She lowered her tone when her son whimpered in his sleep. After soothing him, she added, "And you've crossed the last one." Turning to face the rode, she took off quickly, blinking back stubborn tears.
SsSsSsSs
"Come on, baby." Kagome whispered to her son, carrying him. It was raining and obscure outside. Shielding his head with her body, she proceeded on to the door before knocking.
"Who in the hell in knocking on my damn door this late?" Inuyasha grumbled, getting up and stumbling sleepily to the door. Opening it, he was shocked into sobriety. "Kagome? W-What are you doing here?"
She stared at her soaked feet, whispering, "I left him, Inuyasha."
She had been so soft, Inuyasha hadn't heard. His ears twitching, he asked, "Huh?"
"Inuyasha," She looked up at him with sad, tired, defeated eyes, "I left Sesshomaru. I somehow managed to leave him." She fell against him sobbing, holding him tight. "Oh, Inuyasha."
"Kagome." He murmured, pulling her into the house. "Don't worry. I'm here for you." He promised, leading her inside. "We'll get you and Yasa into some warm, dry clothes. Then after you get some sleep, we'll talk, okay?"
"Arigato, Yasha-kun." She muttered, following him up the stairs. He had won. Sesshomaru had finally broken her spirit. But little did she know, she had broken his as well.
