Bankotsu took the male up the steps where Sesshoumaru was currently sitting at the dinning hall. "Here you go Sire." Bankotsu says as he throws the male at Sesshoumaru's feet. "Why do you have Kagome's blood on you?" Sesshoumaru asked him as he looked down at the male at his feet who was trembling.

"She tried to attack me, so I beat her like you said, Sire," Bankotsu said, bowing again. Sesshoumaru chuckled and said, "Even after your warning, she would still attack?" "She cares about her people," the male said weakly, looking up at Sesshoumaru. "Kagome won't be comforting you anymore, little boy," Sesshoumaru growled.

"You can leave us Bankotsu." Sesshoumaru says to him. Bank nodded his head and left the room.

"Please don't eat me, I can be a servant for you." he tells Sesshomaru . Sesshoumaru looked at him

"Get up have a seat .' he tells him as the maids come out with food for him to eat."What is your name?" Sesshoumaru asks him.

"Soran," the male said, taking a seat cautiously. Sesshoumaru nodded as a plate was placed before each of them. "Eat," Sesshoumaru said, taking a bite of his food. Soran hesitated before starting to eat. Sesshoumaru looked up at him from time to time, and Soran didn't notice as he continued eating.

Soran ate as slowly as he could, "Tell me Soran are the others still on Kagome's side?" Sesshoumaru asked him as he put his fork down and folded his hands.

"I..I don't know Sire she was beat pretty bad by your guard, so I can't say." Soran says. "And how do you feel about Prince Naraku?" he asked him.

"All I know is he is a good prince." he says

Sesshoumaru nodded and continued eating, realizing he was gripping his silverware with excessive force. He set it down and looked at Soran and said, "Soran, how did you feel when you were down there in the dungeons?"

"No very good, Sire," Soran replied, glancing up at the demon.

"That is the price humans play you're the weak species none of you even tried to fight back, and my guards are human." Sesshoumaru tells him. Soran's blue eyes had fear in them. "I..I was to afraid, if tried to flee and then you came it would be worse." he tells him

Sesshoumaru smirked and said, "You should be afraid. I am more powerful than you. I could kill you in an instant." Soran nodded, controlling his hands as they started to shake. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes, saying, "What do you want me for, Sire?"

"What do you think I want you for?, he picked up the silver bell and rang it, Bankotsu came back into the room.

" Yes Sire?" he says.

"Bring Naraku down in his chains with a robe on." he tells him.

Bankotsu bowed his head and left. "Now to answer your question, Soran you're going to die I just have to decide when." Sesshoumaru tells him

Soran's eyes widened and he said, "Why do you despise humans so much?" "Because, you are inferior, and I have control over you," Sesshoumaru replied. Bankotsu walked up to the room and walked inside, saying, "Put a robe on, Sesshoumaru wants to see you." Bankotsu removed the chains on Naraku's wrist as he slid his arms into the sleeves. Once the robe was on, Bankotsu put the chains back on and led Naraku out of the room and down to the kitchen.

Naraku walked into the room ." What do you want now?" Naraku asked him as he folded his arms over his chest. "Still rude as ever, tell me NAraku did you smell Banktsou?" Sesshoumaru asks him. Narfaku turned around and sniffed him. "You bastard what the hell did you do to her?!" he asked him

"Just as my lord ordered. She put up a fight, and I beat her," Bankotsu said, smirking. Naraku punched him in the face, sending him to the floor. Naraku turned back around and glared at Sesshoumaru, growling, "You son of a bitch. I'll kill you!" He started towards Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru stood up and grabbed Naraku by his arms, "Now, now, you don't want to hurt the baby now do you?" Sesshoumaru asked him as he sat back down and pulled Naraku into his lap "Baby?" Naraku asked his eyes going wide.

"Yes baby." Sesshoumaru tells him

Naraku slowly looked down at his stomach. When he looked back up, he yelled, "You got me pregnant?" Sesshoumaru smirked and nodded. Naraku closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. Sesshoumaru chuckled and started playing with a strand of Naraku's hair, whispering, "I know what you're thinking. What are you going to tell Kagome?"

"No what I'm thinking right now is how to kill you!" Naraku growled.

"Oh calm down Naraku, I told you in the room I was going to do this to you." Sesshoumaru tells him.

Naraku looked at Soran. "And what is he your next baby maker?" Naraku asks him.

"No I'm going to kill him." Sesshoumaru tells him

"Then why are you feeding him?" Naraku asked, smirking at the question.

"Because, he should have a nice meal before he dies," Sesshoumaru replied, chuckling as Naraku's smirk disappeared. Sesshoumaru looked into Naraku's eyes and said, "You can't kill me, Naraku. I'm too powerful."

"You can die you have to be able too, your own father died." Naraku tells him.

"Yes my father died because he gave up on the diet he outlawed I am not him what is one human life to save mine." Sesshoumaru says as he rubs Naraku's still flat stomach.

Naraku growled and grabbed Sesshoumaru's wrist, trying to pull his hand away from him. Sesshoumaru was stronger, and chuckled at Naraku's futile attempts. After a few minutes, Naraku stopped struggling, letting Sesshoumaru continue to stroke his stomach.

Saron was done eating and wiped his mouth. Sesshoumaru looked over at him "Did you enjoy your meal?" he asked him. "Yes Sire, thank you." he tells him. Sesshoumaru kissed Naraku on his neck." See how kind I can be?" he says to Naraku. "No y oou bastard you're still going to kill him!" he yells

: "Yes, but at least I fed him, didn't I?" Sesshoumaru said, nibbling on Naraku's collarbone. Naraku pulled away and growled, "Stop that."

"Why should I? You're mine, Naraku, and I can do what ever I please," Sesshoumaru replied before pulling Naraku back and kissing him full on the lips.

Naraku growled into the kiss and managed to get out Sesshoumaru's lap, his chains jingling I can't do this Sesshoumaru I can't have this baby knowing you're the father!" he tells him touching his stomach and looking at Bankotsu and then Saron

You're not going anywhere Naraku be glad you're pregant or I would beat you." Sesshoumaru tells him

"Not like you wouldn't anyway, if I found some way to piss you off," Naraku said, scowling at him. Sesshoumaru smirked and said, "Only if I thought risking my child was worth it."

"It's not going to be your child for long. I'm a demon, you know. I can find ways to terminate my own pregnancy," Naraku said, smirking.

Sesshoumaru stood up now, I will chain you down to the bed! if you even try to kill my child!" Sesshoumaru growls at him, "Bank take Saron to the room and I will see him later.' he tells him as he grabs Naraku by the arm and kisses him on the lips, " I love when you're pissed."he tells his cousin and he pulls him out the room and up the steps to check on Karou

When they walked into the room, Kaoru stood up and said, "Sesshoumaru! Who's this?" "This is Naraku. Naraku, this is my mate, Kaoru," Sesshoumaru said.

Naraku looked at Kaoru and said, "So, he got you pregnant too, I see."

"What are you talking about?" "I just found out that I'm pregnant as well," Naraku said.

Karou glared at Sesshoumaru,"How dare you !, you said you loved me and you go and get another pregnant!, I hate you Sesshoumaru, how could you do this to me?!, Karou was three months pregnant now he grabbed a pillow and threw it in Sesshomaru's face.

Sesshoumaru caught the pillow and said, "Kaoru, calm down. Naraku is going to be your partner in the pregnancy. So you'll be helping Naraku along. Alright?" Kaoru felt the tears sliding down his cheeks as he said, "No! I will not help another male you got pregnant, you bastard!" he then went into the bathroom and slammed the door, locking it behind him.

Naraku chuckled and said, "Smooth, Sesshoumaru. Smooth."

"Shut up Naraku!, you still have to tell Kagome how do you think she will take it?" Sesshoumaru asks him as he sits down on the bed waiting for Karou to come out the bathroom,

"Kagome will understand she knows I love her, and that you raped me, !" Naraku tells him, Karou loves you if you weren't so self involved you would see that." Naraku tells him

"I do see it, and that is why I am keeping him alive," Sesshoumaru said, smirking. "He's probably hoping you'll fall in love with him, too, over time, you sick bastard," Naraku said, glaring at him. "I know. And who knows, it might happen, it might not. Either way, I'll have a motherly figure for my children," Sesshoumaru replied. Naraku growled and said, "You son of a bitch! You're breaking his heart!"

"This is why you can't rule a kingdom Naraku you're to kind hearted all you do is care about other people's feelings." Sesshoumaru tells him as he get's up and walks over to the bathroom door and knocks on it. "Karou sweetie come on out please I need to talk to you and check on the baby." he tells him. "No!" Karou yelled through the door

Kaoru, I'm not in love with Naraku, if that's what you want to know. You're the only one that I will let share my bed passionately," Sesshoumaru said, trying to sweet talk Kaoru out. "I don't care! You still slept with him and got him pregnant!" Kaoru said, blowing his nose with some tissue. "Kaoru, please come out. I'm sorry," Sesshoumaru said, smirking.

Naraku glared at the back of Sesshoumaru's head, "You're a real bastard." Naraku tells him as he sits down on the bed watching Sesshoumaru trying to get Karou on his good side." Come on Karou I need to check on our pup, you want it to live don't you?" Sesshoumaru asks him

Kaoru stopped crying and thought about the question for a minute. Sesshoumaru was about to say something else when the door opened and Kaoru sniffled, looking at the ground as he whispered, "Yes..." Sesshoumaru took Kaoru into his arms and kissed the top of his head, saying, "That's my boy. Now we have to check on the pup." Kaoru nodded and walked over to the bed, sitting as far away from Naraku as possible.: Naraku huffed, "I don't want to be here anymore than you want me here blame your thickheaded mate." Naraku tells him as he looks around the bedroom . Karou looked at Naraku as Sesshoumaru palced his hand on his stomach." The pup is doing great." Sesshoumaru tells him, "But you need to eat mre red meat." he says

"Does it have to be red?" Kaoru asked, looking at Sesshoumaru. "Yes. The pup has to have it's nutrients," Sesshoumaru said, kissing Kaoru on the lips. Kaoru nodded and said, "You know what's best." Sesshoumaru nodded and sat down beside him, wrapping an arm around Kaoru's shoulders as he looked away, wiping his cheek.

"Now you two can get along can't you?" Sesshoumaru asked him, as he looked at Naraku. "I have nothing to say to you, why don't you go and leave the room so I can get to know the other mother?" NAraku says to him. "What do you have to say that you can't say infrint of me?" he asked him. "Well for one he got pregant first so maybe he has some tips." NAraku tells him

: Sesshoumaru smirked and said, "Very well. I'll be in the study." he then stood up after kissing Kaoru's available cheek and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. "How long have you been pregnant?" Naraku asked, looking at Kaoru from the corner of his eye. "Three months," Kaoru whispered, still not looking at him. "You know I am not the enemy I also know this was your way of staying alive." Naraku tells him. Karou turned to look at him "I didn't want to be a meal can you balme me?" Karou asked him. "No I can't ." Naraku tells him as he moves closer to him. "I'm sorry you're stuck in this." he says

Kaoru sighed and looked at the floor, saying, "Sometimes I am, too." Naraku nodded and was now sitting next to Kaoru. He gently touched Kaoru's shoulder and, when he didn't move away, draped an arm over his shoulders and said, "We'll get through this, Kaoru. I promise." "I know. But he can be a jerk sometimes," Kaoru said. "I know. Hell, I should know. He's my cousin," Naraku replied, chuckling.

"But what happens after I have his pup?" Karou asks him , "Sesshoumaru told me he's keeping you alive so you don't have to worry about dying, and I probably don't either it's kagome that I am worried about Naraku tells him. "What if I talked to Sesshoumaru about her, maybe I can change his mind." Karou tells him

: "No one can reason with Sesshoumaru, Kaoru. I should know, I've tried," Naraku said. "I can do it. I'm his mate, after all," Kaoru replied. Naraku sighed and said, "Alright, if you believe you can. If you succeed, I will forever be in your debt," Naraku said. Kaoru nodded and smiled, making Naraku smile, too.

"I'm go now." Karou tells him and gets off the bed and walks over to the door and opens it, "Hey Naraku make sure you eat don't hurt the baby becasue of the stupid father." he tells him and walks out the bedroom and down to Sesshoumaru's study. "Sesshoumaru we need to talk." Karou says as he looks at him with his hand on his hip

Sesshoumaru looked up and said, "We do?" "Yes. I want you to free Kagome," Kaoru said, not moving a muscle. "I will not. She deserves to be down there, with her 'people.' She will not be released," Sesshoumaru replied.

: Karou growled and walked over to Sesshoumaru and slammed his hands on the desk, "Look you if you want to see this pup when it is born you will do as I say!" Karou yells at him. Or I'll" Karou said.

"You'll what?" Sesshoumaru asked him. "I'll make sure everyone knows that the queen is in the dungeon

"You won't if you're never allowed to leave the castle," Sesshoumaru said, smirking. Kaoru smirked and said, "Not if I run away." "Then who will take care of the pup?" Sesshoumaru said. "Naraku will, because I'll take him with me," Kaoru said. Sesshoumaru growled and slammed his palms onto the desk, standing and shouting, "You will not be allowed to leave that room, Kaoru! Do you understand me!"

Karou jumped some, "I'm not a child Sesshoumaru!, and I will go through with it if you don't let her go!" Karou tells him. standing his ground. Sesshoumaru walked from around the desk and looked at his little mate, "Bold little thing aren't you?" Sesshoumaru asked him. "You have to let her go!" Karou yelled at him

: "I don't have to do a damn thing! She is my wife, and I will have her down there as I please!" Sesshoumaru yelled. "Then I will never let you touch me again, and I will leave tonight, along with Naraku," Kaoru said, staring straight into Sesshoumaru's eyes. Sesshoumaru drew his hand back to hit Kaoru, and he didn't even flinch. "I'm not afraid of you anymore," Kaoru said .Sesshoumaru growled and walked over to the door and opened it and saw Bankotsu and pulled him into the study, "Get Kagome and bring her up here now!" Sesshoumaru tells him Bank nods his head and goes to get Kagome. "Are you happy now?" he asks Karou

"Not till I see Kagome." Karou tells him as he folds his arms and takes a seat in the chair in front of the desk and crosses his legs looking at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru sighed and walked over to Karou and waited for Bankotsu to bring Kagome up from the dungeons. Kagome was huddled in a corner looking at the prisoners when Bankotsu came down for her, by now she had stopped bleeding.

"Sesshoumaru wants to see you," Bankotsu said.

"Tell him he can go to hell," Kagome growled. Bankotsu walked into the cell and said, "Not a chance. Now, are you going to come with me peacefully, or do I have to beat you to unconsciousness?" Kagome hesitantly stood up and walked out of the cell, walking in front of Bankotsu as they walked up the stairs.

: Bankotsu walked Kagome up the steps and led her up to the study where Sesshoumaru and Karou were currently in ." Here she is Sire.' Bank said bowing to him.

"Thank you Bankotsu you can leave close the door behind you." he says.

"What the hell do you want with me Sesshoumaru?!" Kagome yelled at him as she looked at Karou.

Kagome!" Kaoru said, standing up. Kagome looked back at Sesshoumaru and said, "I'll say it again. What do you want with me?"

"I just might be letting you go," Sesshoumaru said. Kagome fingered the necklace he had given her and said, "Are you serious?"

"Yes," Sesshoumaru replied.

"What's the catch?" she asked not trusting the dog demon. "There is none you're free to go and find your sisters." Sesshoumaru tells her. "What about Naraku?" Kagome asked him.

Sesshoumaru smirked. "Him, he won't be leaving the place for a very long time." he tells her as he looks at Karou.

"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked. "Kagome... Sesshoumaru raped him, and now he's pregnant with his child," Kaoru said. Tears slid down Kagome's cheeks as she fell to her knees. "You couldn't leave him alone, could you? He is the most important thing to me, and you had to take him!" Kagome said, letting her face fall into her hands.
