Chapter 9

They got off easy?

After the court case had gone badly Inu Tashio had retreated to his small cottage outside of town. In the moment you can never see what's right in front of you. And he had been blinded by his need to believe in his youngest pup. For years Inu Yasha had complained he always sided with Sesshoumaru and now he wished he had. Never did he think his youngest was capable of such cold-heartedness as to turn away his own pup.

His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his study door

"Guests to see you sir," a servant spoke poking his head in through the door. Inu Tashio nodded his head and three males where shown in. Each taller than the next but all had long black wavy hair and pale skin, with deep red eyes their lips thin and pressed as if disgusted by their task. From right to left: the first was dressed in all black, the second purple and black, the third dark purple. Each gave off a dark aura that spoke of the dark things they have done or will do and also announced just who was standing in front of him.

"What great event has brought the assassins' of the Spider Clan to my door?"

"Today My brothers and I are messengers' of another kind," the middle male spoke as the last step forward and placed papers on his desk.

"You have but to read and sign it if you wish," the first spat as if the very words were distasteful. It was a request with which he could not refuse. Scanning the papers he was stunned never did he think anyone would step forward on his behalf.

"And my youngest it mentions nothing of him?" Inu Tashio stated his fingers twitched to just sign.

"He is out of the country is he not? Do with him what you like as long as he causes no more shame upon the Clan of the Shiroi Inuyoukai"

"My company is worthless now . . why such a generous offer?"

"Ours is not to question Mr. West only complete the task in which we are ordered." Inu Tashio studied the faces of the three males and scanned over the papers once again with an inward sigh he signed. 'I would give my life for my pups and if this will help my eldest so be it' he pushed the papers back toward the three. A card was tossed on the desk as the papers once again were back in their hands they left as quickly as they came.

Inu Tashio sat back in his chair staring down at the card 9pm the Higurashi Estate the 15th. A car will be waiting.

"Muso you know what to do."

"Hai, Leave it to me Onigumo."

"Step one was over quickly Naraku I was hoping to get a hold of the hanyou"

"It's better this way though I was hoping he was there as well. But never the less it's over"

"I hate not hurting anyone (sigh) how does the Band of Seven do it go for days like this?" The three chuckled. It was time to step things up days were growing short and they had a schedule to keep.

Kagetora was angry though it didn't show in any of his actions as he stood beside the back door and watched as the sobbing bitch and a large wooden box was loaded onto the back of a truck. He thought Sesshoumaru would agree readily to his deal. Who wouldn't being offered the one thing they valued most in the world. But no the Shiroi Inu proved to be difficult and after all that he had offered him even going so far as to tell him pieces of the truth that none knew. And still the only answer he gave was he would 'consider his offer' but only after he had stated that he invoked his rights of the rightful mate of the Alpha and therefore had a right to punish those responsible for his mates death. Kagetora was pulled from dark thoughts of choking the life out of the Inu by the ringing of his phone; he looked at the number and quickly answered.

"It's . . . Its gone sir," was whimpered thought the phone and Kagetora clench his fist and turned from the scene as the truck pulled away.

"What do you mean it's gone? Something like that just couldn't get up and walk away?" he hissed.

"I am afraid sir . . . On this you are wrong," the voice whimpered.

"And the doctor? What of him"

"He is gone as well sir. The guards and I were knocked out and when we came to the doctor nurse and the package was missing as well"

Kagetora let loose a string of curse words as he hurled his cell-phone across the room. His eye's redden and narrowed as he stared at the pieces. The servants hearing the loud roar hurried back to their work shaking in fear. But to their surprise a deep, thunderous laugh followed Kagetora's roar of rage as his study door was again closed with him inside.

When he had been sent the letter by his brother about Kago wanting to adopt a human pup he was shocked to say the least. He was under the impression that his nephew hated humans but it would seem his information was wrong so Kagetora called his car and went quickly to his family. He arrived to Kago speaking about adopting the pup. After looking into the face of the tiny female and feeling the aura that she radiated he too wanted the new addition to his pack. It was something about her that gave him pause and so with a creative move he added his own blood into the ceremony as well when no one was looking.

It wasn't until after he had found out about the trouble the pups birth mother was causing that he wrote to his nephew about coming to Shinjuku. Under the guise of instating him as his heir when in reality Kagetora had already chosen his heir he just wanted to see the effects of his meddling first hand. And the young pup was far and beyond all that he ever imaged. She was such a beauty at just 13 with long raven locks, sleepy crystal blue eyes, and on her forehead he saw a black flame which cause pride to swell within him. It was late in the night when the two had arrived and little Kagome fought to stay awake. She bowed slightly to the older youkai

"We are pleased to meet such a distinguished pack mate and humbly thank you for allowing us into your home." She spoke with such an air that Kagetora was stunned into silence as he blinked down at the pup. After a few moments of silence the air around the room begun to fill with Kagomes distress. "Did I do it wrong Ompapa?" her voice holding the distress she felt.

"No girl pup but I am sure my uncle has not been spoken to in such a way in a long time," Kago smiled down at her the air cleared.

"We are pleased to meet the youngest of our pack mates and are honored to have you in our home" Kagetora finally spoke and watched awed at her sunny smile and tiny hop of joy. In the weeks that followed Kagetora knew he had not been wrong in his decisions. He had to admire his sister's offspring in the way he was raising the pup, she was soft spoken and full of life absorbing knowledge readily like a sponge. She always stayed within the rules and was never without a Kimono on her body or a book in her hand. When she spoke it was with an air that made you stop and think and never did she spout frivolous ideals, hers were ideals of tradition with a twist of modern times. Kagetora had to admit she was in a way like his mother and that pleased him even more.

At the end of the month they moved in the penthouse at the Jewel Hotel and Kagetora made sure his niece was enrolled into an exclusive school for the gifted that prided themselves on the protection and well-being of their students. He instantly put his nephew to work helping with the company while he prided himself with being the proud uncle of Kagome. From recitals to attending meeting at his side the tiny female continued to surprise and awe him in every way.

He showered Kagome with attention since her father was working days and most nights. Teaching her everything he had come to learn as leader and she was an eager student doing nothing to displease. Kagetora demanded perfection and she gave it plus more. When she started college Kagetora picked her friends and classes and never did she complain, there was only one thing he disapproved of the Slayer she had become friends with. No matter how he tried Kagome would not be seen without the girl during school hours.

But no matter he drop the subject and let her have her away on that. After classes she would attend meeting and dinner parties accompanying him and unknowingly raising the respect creatures had for him. He almost felt as if Kagome was his own pup. He was riding on cloud nine, basking in the praises of his clan about the young females accomplishments', her beauty and poise. It would seem who ever had a male offspring made offers in the name of their pup to mate his niece. Kagetora had picked the perfect male for his perfect niece but he was quickly shocked from his own little world when Kago spoke of his disapproval at his uncle for trying to mate off his 'girl pup' when she was still so young.

Then he got the worst phone call ever Kago had called to tell him Kagome had been rushed to the hospital. She was bleeding badly from a side wound the doctors told him it was as if someone had taken a bite out of her side. Kagome never told them what happened not even when he and Kago demanded answers. But they did find out about the male who had taken her to bed, the male who took her virginity and the little spark in her eyes that told of her happiness. But when they found the male he was already in a bad way, the ambulance taking him away before their eyes.

Even after her little indiscretion that still did not stop the offers of mating from pouring in. When she graduated college not once but twice Kagetora almost fainted. But the third time he threw her the biggest party he could inviting all within the clan to celebrate. At the celebration he made an announcement he was changing his will and ownership of all his holding save one to include Kagome as his one and only heir.

Becoming head of the company brought with it unrest among the youkai and a few humans. But Kagetora could do nothing as Kagome called in a few debts that it seemed others owed her and bodyguards were found from among the mercenaries and assassins of the underworld.

But as he watched what he planted blossom he also became aware of his sisters other pup, Eml. He never really liked the boy per say but he did acknowledge him to be enough of a threat he had to keep him on a short leash. Kagetora watched horrified as the pups' hatred for Kagome turned into what can only be called obsession. She was safe when she was a child but as she matured into womanhood the small shrine Kagetora knew dwelled with Eml's closet grew. The pictures were easily overlooked but then he overheard Kago complain about some of Kagome's things that had gone missing after her home was cleaned by a new service. Kagetora easily made excuses though he knew what had happen and shuttered at the ideal.

Within the clan Kagetora stepped down as Supreme Alpha and stepped back to watch his niece as she wrapped the whole of the clan around her fingers. Where a male would have charged in and made everyone bow to his will. Kagome played on their sense of tradition. He was amazed she could be so manipulative yet submissive.

When Kagome had brought the rundown club he was a bit upset he admitted but what pissed him off was when she begun to play there. He hated that she lowered herself to be seen among the common people of society. While Kago did nothing Kagetora argued constantly with Kagome over this which caused her to pull farther away from him, confide less in him.

It wasn't until one of the elders pup spoke up that Kagetora found out about the male she had been seeing. The pup made threats and for the first time eyes sparked with the darken corners of the room. The warning was clear but the foolish pup continued his rant either uncaring or unaware. His words sparked a fire that spread through the room each stating that she was abandoning the clan, forsaking the potential males who vie for her attentions.

"Please Supreme Alpha Please tell us why you have forsaken our clan for another. This creature could be anything. We are so few in numbers now. Would you kill off our blood-line, your blood line?" the soft voice pleaded through the chaos.

"Silence," Kagome roared and the room fell silent nothing moved or dared moved. "This . . This," she waved her hand to compasses the whole room. "This is the reason this Kagome have sought her mate outside our clan. This ugliness before me is disgusting. You are all lowering yourself to gutter scum over what a few harsh words from a fool. A fool who is angered because I rejected him like all the others before him. Though this Kagome does not have to explain herself I will tell you this Yuka -sama my male is among the rarer of Inu's who's clan is almost none existence. He has more beauty than the whole of our clan, and would never lower himself to such acts as what I see before me now. And. . . ." she smirked. "I believe when it comes to power he might just give the elders of our clan a good run."

"If this male is as you make him out to be Alpha he should be brought before the elders," Kagetora growled.

"I think not"

"As Alpha it is your duty to do as your elders command female the consequences will be harsh if you disobey," another elder spoke. Kagetora watched as the submissive look Kagome always wore fell away her eyes glowed slightly. Even when handing out punishments she always looked so submissive so sorry for her actions but this look was almost terrifying to see. The left corner of her mouth lifted in almost a snarl, the very air sizzled with anger, sparks of blue jumped from her clenched fist. Her head lowered for a moment and when she looked up again her face was blank as if she felt nothing her eyes dark still held a slight glow and completely out of place was the smirk that spread across her face showing off her tiny fangs.

"Disobey elder . . . As Supreme Alpha it is my duty to see to the welfare of this clan and hand down orders as I see fit. But as you say I will disobey. .I will disobey and slaughter each and every one of you if you so much as look in my males direction. If you talk to him I will slaughter what left of each pack until none is left. There will be no escape for any of you but you elder Kiba this Kagome will take pleasure in slitting your throat and bathing in your blood," Fear clouded the room even Kagetora could feel his spine shiver at the threat she had just spoken. A threat he knew she would carry out since Kago was not here to stop her this time.

But she was not done as she pointed out every elder in the room.

"Is This Kagome's disobedience clear to each and Every. One. Of .You," her voice never rose above a saccharine sweet tone. In fear for their lives all had no choice but to agree and it was not spoken about again.

It was two not even two days later that Kagetora had received a phonecall from Kagome stating that he could have his post back she was tired of being treated less than a possession. He tried everything in his power to hide the fact that she had left the clan and more to get her back again. Nothing worked and so he did the one thing he knew he shouldn't during his monthly dinner with his brother and Eml he let it slip that Kagome was thinking of taking a mate. Through both seem to show no interest Kagetora knew Eml was paying attention. He let the boy off his leash and he cause holy hell. He should have put a stop to it the minute he had word Eml had involved Tali and Tshi the two were volatile and money hungry humans. When Kagetora did get involved it was too late to stop what Eml. .what he had set in motion.

The Present:

"You all ways seem to one up me. But I will win this time that male will not get the better of me. I will have Sesshoumaru West in my pocket before the month is over." Kagetora chuckled whirling his chair around looking out at the forest beyond his window. Thinking over the whole of everything it would seem Kagome had smelled something foul and planned accordingly. How much she had planned for he couldn't even beginning to guess.

The ride was a quick a little too quick for Sesshoumaru as he sat in the front seat listening to the whimpering female behind him. He waited as the female was unloaded along with the wooden crate and stop himself from smirking as he finally stepped from the truck. Kyoukotsu and Ginkotsu were already there and digging away by the looks of it as dirt flew from the hole adding to the giant piles beside it. Renkotsu and Bankotsu dropped the wooden box next to the large hole. Jakotsu and Mukotsu stood over the sobbing female nothing was said the silence was broken every so often by the females sobbing. Sesshoumaru had already told them of his plan before they left the Higurashi Estate so no words were needed for now.

Sesshoumaru looked at the sobbing female, he could not see it. This female gave birth to his beloved and tossed her away like trash. He looked her over her ratty dark brown hair, her swollen blood shot eyes, the paleness of her skin and he could not see it. He looked closely to her bruised and batter appearance and still could not see it. His beloved could not have come from such a creature. No she could not have the creature before him was nothing like his beloved. His eyes turned skyward this creature before him was nothing like the pure female she gave birth too. The creature before him was the reason for his suffering it was she that killed his beloved, his unborn pups and she would die as well. Strangely he felt no pleasure from the act but still it will be done and nothing would stop him.

Bankotsu looked to Sesshoumaru and down to his brothers as they dug he jumped back just in time for the dirt to miss him.

"12 feet is enough we are not digging an escape tunnel here," The two looked up from their work and nodded the shovels came up first as the two leapt from the hole and smirked.

Sesshoumaru grew tired of hearing her whining even through the gag it was getting on his nerves. He strolled forward and griped her chin making her look up at him.

"Unlike Kagetora this Sesshoumaru will be merciful even if it's too a pitiful excuse for a human," he saw the spark of hope within her watery eyes and almost smirked. "This Sesshoumaru will give you your sorry excuse for a male and the money you hungered so much for. And since this Sesshoumaru is feeling so generous he will even give you that escape you were screaming so ferociously for." Those blood shot watery eyes lit up she even tried to smile at him but the gag in her mouth prevented it but still he could tell. He watched as her eyes darted around the small area looking for her husband and he nodded to the smiling group behind her. Bankotsu and Renkotsu grabbed the woman from behind pulling her to her feet while the others pulled the top from the box Mukotsu hurried back to the truck.

When the top was removed the smell of decaying flesh waft around the group.

"You heard the man brother give the lady her husband," Jakotsu giggled as the two pulled the struggling woman towards the box. Her screams were audible even through the gag and the six brothers and Sesshoumaru take pleasure in her renewed terror as her eyes lit upon the body. She struggled in vain as she placed beside the rotting corpse of Tish, her husband. His eyes wide and blank mouth still agape as if showing his last scream. Money was dump over their bodies as she squirmed and screamed. She only looked up as a large shadow fell over the wooden coffin.

"As promised your husband and your money," he growled watching her eyes beg him to release her. He smirked "but something is missing this Sesshoumaru has forgotten something. Now what was it again?" he looked to the smirking males around him. "That's right your escape. . ." he hissed and walked away with a nodded of his head and lid was once again raised and slide into place. Her screams could be heard even though the wood, but was only met by laughter as the lid was nailed shut.

"That was exciting did you see the bitch?"

"Yea she really thought you were going to let her go Mr. West"

"Silence," Sesshoumaru hissed "finish it" He stood stock still as some unknown feeling inched up his spine. He had to grab his chest as something felt like it exploded inside him. It went unnoticed by the busy group as he took a deep breaths everything seemed sharper, clearer. It was as if something came alive inside him, even his very blood tingled within his veins. He looked skyward his eyes taking on an eerie glow for a moment flashed red than settled to their usual color. Sesshoumaru shook his head he would question it later for now he had other things to deal with. Looking back to group he noticed Mukotsu studying him for a moment as if he saw something, he narrowed his eyes at the tiny creature. Mukotsu quickly turn away.

They took care in placing the box at the bottom, no need to break it open they thought. It took no time in filling in the hole after a group effort they packed the earth down and rolled back the grass pieces that had been removed.

"I think we should have put some scorpions or something in with the bitch"

"Yea I mean this seems a bit undone"

"It is done enough a slow death in which there is no escape is better than she deserves but it will do," Sesshoumaru stated and walked away. He would be glad once he finally returns to his home.

"We could have cut her to pieces or something that would have been fun at least."

"Whatever Kyoukotsu it's done leave it alone if you're hungry get a burger or something," Bankotsu spoke as he started the truck and drove away giving the area one last once over nothing was out of place.

"As if I would eat that give me some credit here. I am a picky eater i won't just eat anything you know" Kyoukotsu huffed.

The sounds of waves lapping against the sand pulled him into conciseness. Rays of bright sunshine surrounded him even as he turned over. Silk slid along his bruised and batter form pulling a groan from his dry cracked lips. Blood-shot crystalline eyes shot up, he winced in pain as he scanned the room for his tormentors. In their place was a raven haired beauty. The name on his lips died as green eyes finally met his with a frown.

After three tries he finally sat up taking in the room with its stalk white walls and cream colored furniture. He shuttered in utter disgust 'Who could live in such a place?'

"Doko?" his voice cracked and dry made even him wince. She thrust a silver tray at him that contained nothing but a small white piece of paper. The words in flowing Japanese simply stated. 'Show Your Face And Die'

"Caminar con Dios una vez mas," she finally spoke walking away closing the door behind her. Eml clenched his shaking fist in anger and swept the tray from the bed. But the paper fell face up as if mocking him, daring him to disobey.
