Sesshoumaru read aloud what the book had written in it." The road to and down a male pregnancy is difficult and rare, but not impossible. "
"Perfect this will do nicely, he's already submissive, he will obey, now I just have to figure out what to do as far as Kagome." He said as he closed the book.
Sesshoumaru stood up and placed the book, back in the book case. He then walked out of the study and down the hall where he ran into Jakotsu
"Evening Sire." He said bowing.
"Where are Kagome and her sisters?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"In the garden sire, would you like me to bring them in for dinner?" Jakotsu asked him.
"No I'll go get them myself tell the cook to set aside two meals along with dessert." Sesshoumaru told him and walked out to the garden.
Kagome was walking through the isles of the garden with her sisters, talking and giggling, the first time she giggled since they were brought to the castle. She stopped abruptly when she heard, "Dinner's ready, if you want to eat, Kikyo and Saya. I have to talk to Kagome." Sesshoumaru said, walking toward them. Kikyo and Saya bowed to him before they turned to Kagome and after the three girls hugged and said their goodbyes, Kikyo and Saya left, leaving Kagome alone with Sesshoumaru.
Before Sesshoumaru could start talking, Kagome turned around and started walking again, Sesshoumaru catching up easily.
"I'm being kind, letting your sister's roam the castle." Sesshoumaru said to her grabbing her by the arm, to face him. "I was going to be nice but since you want to act this way, tomorrow I will be quizzing you on what you have learned in preparation for the ball, and if it's not to my liking you will be sorry." He said. "Just let me go, please." She said to him.
"You dinner is ready I won't be joining you, but I will see you first thing in the morning." He told her and left.
He walked back into the castle and walked into the kitchen to see if his and Kaoru dinner was ready.
"Sire. Your meals have been taking to your chambers. "The maid told him.
Kaoru laid on the bed, it would soon be time for dinner he sat up on the bed and looked around the room, there were a few books on a shelf, the room didn't look like it was used much.
There was a knock on his door, before opened, and a guard walked in. "The King requires your presence in his chambers." The guard told him.
Kaoru nodded and got up, following the guard down the hall to Sesshoumaru's chambers. The guard knocked on the door, and after he heard a faint, "Come in." He opened the door and walked in, Kaoru behind him. "I brought him as you requested, my king." The guard said, both he and Kaoru bowing.
"You're dismissed." Sesshoumaru told the guard. The guard bowed and left closing the door behind him.
"I know you're hungry, come over here." Sesshoumaru said to Kaoru.
Kaoru walked slowly over to Sesshoumaru. "Have a seat." Sesshoumaru said to him. Kaoru sat down on one of the pillows he was nervous he was keeping a secret from Sesshoumaru, he started sweating, and rubbing his hands together.
Sesshoumaru took the tops off the plates. He looked at Kaoru. "Something wrong?" Sesshoumaru asked him. Kaoru looked at Sesshoumaru and bowed his head.
"I don't want to be punished." Kaoru said keeping his head down.
"Why? What are you keeping from me, Kaoru?" Sesshoumaru asked, staring at Kaoru. Kaoru looked up and said, "I... I'm not a powerful demon, Master. I just grow flowers and plants, nothing special." Kaoru said, cringing, waiting for Sesshoumaru's wrath.
"I see, that makes things even better." Sesshoumaru said. Kaoru looked up at him. "You're not going to punish me?" he asked.
"No, now eat. I had the cooks prepare this for you." Sesshoumaru said to him.
Kaoru picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. "How long have you been training?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"Not long a month before your guards came to the village." Kaoru told him.
"And your parents were killed?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"Yes." Kaoru said.
Sesshoumaru nodded his head and watched Kaoru eat. He thought, 'Kaoru will help very well.' Kaoru finished his meal and set his chopsticks down, looking at Sesshoumaru, who's eyes told him that he was distant, thinking.
"Master. I am finished." Sesshoumaru looked at him and said, "Good." He then stood up and started pacing, trying to think of what to do about Kagome and her disobedience.
Sesshoumaru walked to the door and called one of his guards. After he told the guard what he wanted, Sesshoumaru walked back inside his room and sat down beside Kaoru. He picked up a sweet cake and held it in his hand, he pulled off a piece and placed it in Kaoru's mouth.
Kaoru closed his eyes, the cake was sweet, and delicious, Sesshoumaru smirked as he pulled off another piece and placed it in Kaoru's mouth, he heard the bedroom door open and watched Kagome being pushed in the room.
Kagome tripped as she was pushed inside, and he landed on her knees, skidding to a stop in front of Sesshoumaru. She quickly stood up and glared at him, saying, "Why was I so roughly brought here for?"
Sesshoumaru smirked. "Kagome, this is Kaoru. Kaoru, meet Kagome." Kagome looked at Kaoru and he nodded his head once in greeting. Kagome did the same.
"Kagome, see how Kaoru is submissive? This is how you should act." Sesshoumaru said, putting another piece of sweet cake in Kaoru's mouth.
"Why would I do that when I hate your guts!" she yelled. Kaoru looked at Kagome and then back at Sesshoumaru.
"Keep trying me Kagome and all Naraku will find is bits and pieces of you." Sesshoumaru warned her.
"What do you want with me?"
Sesshoumaru ran his fingers over Kaoru's bottom lip before looking at Kagome. "You no longer will carry my heir. I have found a much more suitable and worthy person." He told her.
Kagome's eyes widened. "You can't! He doesn't belong in this!" Kagome yelled, looking at Kaoru.
"Yes he does." Sesshoumaru said, stroking Kaoru's soft hair.
"Sesshoumaru, please, let him go." Kagome whispered, looking at the floor. Sesshoumaru smirked and stood up. Kagome looked at him pleadingly, hoping he would listen to her.
"I'm not going to hurt him." Sesshoumaru told her as he tilted her neck to the side. He looked at the mark.
"This is what you wanted anyway, you didn't want my heir so you no longer carry the burden." He told her. Sesshoumaru walked over to Kaoru and bent down to him, and bit him on his neck. Kaoru gasped as he felt Sesshoumaru's fangs. Kagome felt a burning sensation as the mark on her neck vanished.
Tears swelled in Kagome's eyes as she screamed, "I don't want him to go through the same thing that I did! Let him leave. I'm begging you!" Tears slid down Kagome's cheeks as she got onto her knees, begging Sesshoumaru.
"Please, don't put him through what you did me... please..." Kagome sobbed, her shoulders shaking as she was kneeling on the ground.
"You're pathetic." He sneered as he looked down at her. "You and Naraku belong together. You're both useless." He said to her.
"Guards!" Sesshoumaru called. The guards came in the room.
"Take her to her room. I don't want to be disturbed for the rest of the night." He told the guards.
The guards nodded their heads and picked Kagome up.
"No, stop. He's going to kill him!" Kagome screamed as she was dragged out the room.
Kaoru walked over to the window as he watched Kagome being dragged away from the room. "Why did you make me your mate?" Kaoru asked him.
"You suit my needs better." Sesshoumaru told him.
"Your needs?" Kaoru asked him.
"I found some interesting reading, it's been a while but demon males can carry heirs." Sesshoumaru told him.
Naraku paced up and down the cave, growling. 'How am I going to get her!?' Naraku thought, punching the wall as he passed it, breaking a chunk off. "Naraku, maybe you should calm down, let's sit down and talk about this." Inuyasha said, looking at Naraku.
Naraku looked at his cousin and growled, "BECAUSE, she is still with HIM, and who knows what he'll do to her!?"
Inuyasha looked at him and said, "Naraku, we'll find a way to get her out of there."
"Yes, Inuyasha is right." Shiori said, looking from Naraku to Inuyasha and back again. "I'm sure we can find some way to get her out of there." Shiori said.
Bankotsu heard the three talking. 'He must really be wounded anytime. He can't sense me." Bankotsu thought. "Well I did my part found them now I can go back home and tell Sesshoumaru what I found." He said and left.
Kagome sat in her old room crying. "That poor boy Sesshoumaru is going to break him." She said as she sat on her bed.
Next day
Kagome woke up the next day to see her pillow was wet with tears. She sat up and quickly wiped her eyes. She then took a deep breath, looking out the window, wishing to see Naraku outside, waving to her, waiting for her. 'I miss you already.' Kagome thought, fresh tears coming to her eyes. She angrily wiped them away, waiting for something to happen.
The maid walked in "Dress quickly lady Kagome, his majesty wants you to meet him out in the garden for lunch." She told her.
Kagome nodded her head and went to take a bath after her bath and putting on a green dress, she walked out her room and saw Kikyo. "Kagome what's wrong?" She asked her.
"It's nothing I have to go meet him now. Kagome told her Kikyo looked at her..
"Nothing, Kikyo. I just want to leave." Kagome said, hugging her sister. She drew back after a moment and said, "Well, his 'Majesty' wants me outside to meet him for lunch." Kagome said, waving slightly to her sister as she walked down the hallway and out to the gardens. She walked down until she saw Sesshoumaru sitting at a table, smirking at her smugly. Kagome glared at him as she sat down.
"On time for a change." He said to her. Kagome sat down.
"Let's see what you've learned. I would hate to beat you." He said.
"No, you would enjoy it!" she hissed.
"Why pick an innocent boy like Kaoru for your sick twisted games." She said more than asked.
"Twisted, far from it, now show me what one does when the other lords start to eat." He said.
"I wait for them to take the first bite and then I start to eat my own meal." Kagome said, still glaring at him.
"Very good, Kagome." Sesshoumaru said.
"Now, Kagome, what do you do when I am talking to one of the other lords?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Stand there and stay quiet unless they ask me a question." Kagome all but growled.
"Good girl, now most importantly what do say when asked how you feel about the Eastern lands?" he asked her.
Kagome glared at him. "That I despise Prince Naraku and all that he stands for." She said holding back the tears.
"Perfect." He said smiling that wasn't hard. You can go now." He told her.
"I hate you." She hissed.
"You're dismissed unless you want to watch me with Kaoru." He said as he felt him being bought out to the gardens.
Kagome glared at him as she stood up, now letting the tears fall as she quickly walked out of the garden, passing Kaoru, who thought, 'I wonder why she is crying?' He then saw Sesshoumaru sitting at the same table.
When they got there, Kaoru bowed before he took his seat. "You sent for me, Master?" Kaoru said, looking at Sesshoumaru.
"How are you feeling?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"Okay, a little tired." Kaoru said.
"Are you hungry?" Sesshoumaru asked him. Kaoru nodded his head. Sesshoumaru placed a platter in front of him.
"Eat. You'll need the strength." Sesshoumaru told him.
Kaoru had never eaten so much delicious food in his life. "When you're done, I want you to show me what you can do with your powers." Sesshoumaru told him.
Kaoru simply nodded his head and continued to eat. , He then drank his cup of tea. Kaoru licked his lips as he finished his meal.
Sesshoumaru groaned as Kaoru licked his lips, he couldn't wait for this ball to be over so he could ravish Kaoru. Sesshoumaru stood up straighten his pants. Kaoru stood up and followed Sesshoumaru further into the garden..
Kaoru's scent drifted under Sesshoumaru's nose. His strawberry scent was intoxicating to Sesshoumaru.
They stopped in front of a bush of white roses. Sesshoumaru plucked one off the bush and handed it to Kaoru. "Show me what you can do." He said to him.
Kaoru placed his hand on the petal and closed his eyes, Sesshoumaru watched as more roses grew from the one. Kaoru opened his eyes to see his work.
"Very impressive." Sesshoumaru said to him taking the roses out his hand.
Kaoru smiled. Sesshoumaru walked up to him and kissed him.
Bankotsu and Jakotsu stopped when they s aw Sesshoumaru kissing Kaoru. "What does this mean for Kagome?" Jakotsu asked Bankotsu.
"It means Kagome's going to suffer more than she has been." Bankotsu said with a grin.
