"Okay so I guess he's going to be looking for you soon?:" Kagome asked him. "Yeah probably, I hate wearing these clothes and being kissed by him." he told her,
"Well least's he's not trying to get you into his bed." she said with a smile.
Naraku shuddered at the thought.
Kagome giggled and kissed him once more before saying, "Ok, you should get back, who knows what he's doing right now." Naraku nodded and walked back into the castle, leaving Kagome in the garden. She sighed and walked around the roses, running her fingers along the petals.
"Lady Nara I hope you're having a good time." Sesshoumaru said to her and pulled her to his side
"I am doing fine my king. how about giving me a tour of the castle, "Do you have slaves I mean most castles do?" he said to him.
"Yes, I do. But they are all working at the moment. And I'll give you a tour, as you requested." Sesshoumaru replied, leading him away. He led him up the stairs and down a corridor, telling him what the rooms where.
"The library, it seems my wife likes to spend time in here." He said, noticing some books on the table.
"I would, too. It's beautiful." Naraku said, glancing about the room. Sesshoumaru nodded and led him back out of the room and down the hall again.
"I don't see much cattle and other animals around here where do you keep the meat?" he wondered.
"That is a secret. he says with a smile "Oh well you can tell me can't you?" he asked him.
"Maybe later." he says and pats him on his behind. Naraku growled at that and started to punch him across the face but figured that give him away.
Instead of punching Sesshoumaru, Naraku ran his fingers through his hair. "What are the spare bedrooms for?" Naraku asked.
"When guests come here and get to the point they can't get home, they sleep here." Naraku nodded and continued walking, Sesshoumaru catching up with him easily.
"Okay so I hear that you found someone to have your pup." he said to him.
"Ah yes Karou, he says with a smirk he's a sweetie he would have had a different fate in life if I had decided to go the other way." he told her,
"Well That was kind of you to change your mind. he tells him.
"Yes." Sesshoumaru replied as they walked down to the kitchen.
"I hope he won't be in too much pain when the pup is born." Naraku said, looking at some of the paintings on the walls.
"I hope that, too." Sesshoumaru said, pulling him closer. Naraku inwardly sighed as they walked down the stairs and down the hall towards the dining room.
Saya came into the dinning hall and ran over to Sesshoumaru, "Sesshoumaru, I did some more paintings when are you going to look at them?" she asked him, Naraku took the moment to move away from Sesshoumaru. Saya looked so much like Kagome. "I'll come see your paintings soon ok darling?" he said touching her face.
"Ok!" Saya said, smiling, before turning and running back out so she could do some more painting.
"She's darling. Is she good at painting?" Naraku asked.
"Yes, she's wonderful. I love her work, even though she's only about 13or 14." Sesshoumaru said, walking over to him. Naraku nodded and continued down the stairs, admiring the railing.
Kikyo sat out in the garden with Kagome. "Hey Kagome I want you and Saya to make it out here alive." she told her.
"Kikyo what are you saying?",
"I am saying that if any of us have to die it will be me that Sesshoumaru kills not you or Saya."
"I won't let him, so don't even think that!" Kagome said, gripping her sister's hand. "Kagome, he's bound to do it sooner or later, and I will have no choice but to submit. And if it comes to that , I want you to take Saya and run, run as fast as you can." "How can I, with this around my neck?" Kagome said, pointing to the necklace Sesshoumaru had given her on their wedding day, becoming her leash. "We'll find a way to get it off." Kikyo said.
"Yeah then he got Karou pregnant which is better than killing him right?" she asked her. Kikyo nodded her head, "Yes but I feel he is beginning to look at Saya." she tells her.
"I know".Kagome said to Kikyo,
" What are we going to do about that?"
Sesshoumaru walked out to the garden with Lady Nara." Hello ladies." Sesshoumaru said.
Both of the girls jumped when they heard Sesshoumaru's voice. They both stood up and curtsied to him, saying, "My lord." Sesshoumaru nodded to them in return and they stood.
"Having a nice chat?" Sesshoumaru asked, looking at Kagome.
"Yes, my lord." Sesshoumaru looked at Naraku and said,
"Lady Nara, I would like to introduce you to Kikyo, Kagome's sister, who works in the kitchens. The little girl earlier was her other sister, lady Saya."
"Nice to meet you Lady Kikyo, he said to her.
"Like wise." Kikyo said to him
"So I hope you're enjoying your time here." Kagome said to Lady Nara.
"Oh yes your husband was just giving me a tour of the castle"
"Lady Nara I have to see to some things please feel free to keep Kagome and her sister company he said as he left the gardens to find Saya
Sesshoumaru walked into Saya's painting room and when he saw all of her paintings that she had already done, his eyes widened. She looked up from her painting and when she saw him, she gasped and stood in front of the one she was doing. "Why are you hiding it, Saya?" Sesshoumaru asked, walking towards her.
"Because, it's not done yet!" Saya said, spreading her arms out to her sides, covering the canvas.
"Alright, I'll let you cover it with the sheet so you can show me the other ones, ok? " He asked. Saya nodded and when he turned around, he heard the sheet rustle, and Saya said, "Ok, you can turn around now."
Sesshoumaru turned back around and said, "So, do you want to show me all of your paintings?"
"Yes, she took him by the hand and led him over to some of her recent paintings, This one I drew after I sat in the garden for a while. It was a painting of the roses in the garden with the sun over head, I started to paint a big white Dog but Kagome said that would ruin it. "she told him.
"Oh really?" Sesshoumaru asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Uh-huh!" Saya said, smiling up at him. She led him over to another one and said, "I painted this one after I saw Kikyo the other day." It was Kikyo in a blue silk dress, looking out of a window to the moon and stars, smiling. "Speechless, huh?" Saya said, looking up at him.
"Yes, I am." Sesshoumaru said, still looking at it.
"Saya you have a great talent." he said to her he ran a hand over her face, "You're such a beauty, do you know that, You have surpassed both of your sisters in looks and manners." he told her.
"Thank you Sesshoumaru, So are you going to keep up your part of the deal and let me learn like Lady Rin?" she asked him.
"Yes, I am going to keep up my end of the deal. You start tomorrow." Sesshoumaru said, smirking down at her.
She smiled up at him and said, "Would it be ok if I continued my painting, Lord Sesshoumaru?" Saya said.
"Yes, go ahead. I'll come check on you later." Sesshoumaru said, running his fingers through her hair before leaving the room.
Saya walked over to the covered canvas and took the sheet off, revealing a picture of Sesshoumaru and next to him his demon form. "He'll love this one." Saya said, picking up her brushes and continuing.
Kagome paced back and forth. "I just don't trust him he's been looking at Saya a lot lately." Kagome said to Kikyo and Naraku.
"Kagome I doubt Sesshoumaru has interest in Saya." he said to her.
"Yeah but all the sudden she has breasts!, and he's a jerk anyway he raped me!. what makes you think he won't rape her?" she asked him.
"Kagome, if he has an interest in Saya, why do you think he has an interest in me?" Naraku asked, looking at the pacing woman.
"I don't know, maybe because he's sick?" Kagome said, stopping to look at him. "Oh, he's coming." She said, seeing Sesshoumaru come up the path.
"Ladies I hope everything is well he said looking at Naraku.
"Yes we were just looking at the roses." Kagome said to him.
"They're nice, I saw Saya's paintings she's really talented you should be proud Kagome." Sesshoumaru said to her. "
"Sesshoumaru can I speak to you alone for a second." Kagome asked him. Sesshoumaru nodded and walked away with Kagome."What is it?" he growled at her. " You, leave Saya alone you pervert! she's just a child.
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at her and grabbed her by her arms say that again!" he hissed
"I said, leave Saya alone. She is only 14, and if I hear that you even lay a finger on her, I will personally kill you." Kagome said. She yanked her arm out of his grip and walked back to where Kikyo and Naraku were. "Lady Nara, will you join my sister and I on our afternoon walk?" Kagome asked, linking her arm with Naraku's. "I'd love to, as long as it is ok with Lord Sesshoumaru?" Naraku said, looking back at him.
"Yes, I have some things to do anyway. I will see you in a few hours." Sesshoumaru said. As they started to walk away, he glared at Kagome, thinking of how to punish her.
Bankotsu found Sesshoumaru out in the gardens is there something wrong?"he asked Sesshoumaru.
"I'm just thinking about how to kill Kagome and Kikyo. he said to him, Saya will be spared I have plans for her he told him, "Any word or Naraku and my foolish brother?" he asked.
"Not yet. But I know we're close." Bankotsu said. "Good, hurry up and find them." Sesshoumaru said. "Yes sir" Bankotsu said, walking back into the castle. Sesshoumaru stared down the path that Kagome, Kikyo, and Naraku went once more before walking into the castle himself.
Saya took a break from her painting and walked into the kitchen to get something to eat. she grabbed an apple and walked out the kitchen seeing Sesshoumaru talking to some of the castle guards, her jet black hair had specks of paint in it. Sesshoumaru felt Saya behind him and turned to look at her. "Hello Saya finished already?" he asked her.
"No, I'm just taking a break." Saya said, taking a bite of her apple.
Sesshoumaru nodded and said, "When do I get to see it?"
Saya smiled again and said, "When I'm done."
Sesshoumaru chuckled and turned back to the guard, saying, "You have your orders, now go." The guard nodded and left, leaving Sesshoumaru and Saya alone
"Where are they going?" she asked him.
"Just to find my brother and cousin, nothing for you to worry about Saya." he told her.
Saya blinked her big blue eyes up at him. Sesshoumaru moved closer to her and bent his head down to kiss her.
Kagome looked at Naraku and Kikyo and said, "I'll be right back." She walked into the castle and into the kitchen to get a drink. When she walked in, she saw Sesshoumaru kissing Saya.
She ran over and pushed him away, yelling, "Get away from her!" She pushed Saya behind her as Sesshoumaru recovered from her push.
"Kagome!, I have warned you not to try me!" he growled .
" I told you to leave her alone!, she isn't for you to ruin!"
Saya was confused one minute she was kissing Sesshoumaru the next Kagome was yelling at Sesshoumaru.
"Kagome I wanted the kiss he didn't force me." she told her.
"Don't explain to her Saya," Bankotsu! he yelled.
Bankotsu ran into the kitchen and said, "Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru?"
"Take Kagome to her room, now." Sesshoumaru said.
Bankotsu looked to see Kagome looking back at Saya with a confused expression. When he walked over and reached for her arm, she spun around and punched him in the face, forcing him a few steps back.
She picked Saya up, much to her objections, and ran back out into the garden, tears leaking from her eyes. She could hear Sesshoumaru behind her, so she pushed her legs faster.
Naraku saw Kagome running up to him with Saya . "What the hell is going on?!. Naraku demanded.
" He was kissing her!, and she liked it Saya listen to me please Sesshoumaru is evil he eats humans!, he was going to do that to Kikyo and you if I didn't marry him!" she told her.
Naraku saw Sesshoumaru coming closer. "Kagome you bitch!" he yelled at her,
Kagome looked at Naraku and said, "We have to go, now!" He nodded and yanked off the dress to reveal a suit underneath it. He wiped away the makeup and took off the heels. "Hello, cousin." Naraku said, looking at a stunned Sesshoumaru. He picked up Kagome and Saya, Kikyo getting on his back.
"When we're over, we'll all run." Kagome said. Naraku nodded and before Sesshoumaru could say anything, he jumped over the wall, landing on the grass on the other side.
Everyone got off of Naraku and Kagome looked down at Saya and said, "You cannot come back here. He would have killed you if I didn't do what he said. Now go with Kikyo. Now!" She handed the girl to Kikyo and they started running. A few minutes later, Kagome fell to the ground, trying to breath and pull off the necklace.
"Kagome!," Naraku said as he bent down to her.
"It's not coming off, Go! take care of Saya and Kikyo please." she said to him. "I can't leave you here!" he said to her.
"Naraku please he's coming you have to go!." she told him.
"I rather he stick around." Sesshoumaru said as he and the guards surrounded them.
