Ch26

When the dinner was over Sesshoumaru stood up and walked over to Kohaku. "Hand over the shards he just gave you and don't give me any backtalk about it." Sesshoumaru tells him as he glares at Kohaku.
Kohaku gave Sesshoumaru, Keski's 14 shards . Sesshoumaru then turned to Naraku. "Whatever you did to Keski I will find out." he says to him and walks out the dining room. Naraku ignored Sesshoumaru's comment and finished his dinner. "Excuse me," he said, rising from the table and also leaving the room.
"That was scary." Shippo said. Kira picked Shippo up.
"So you want to go see your daddy or stay with me and Karas tonight?" Kira asks him.
"I wanna at least say goodnight to him." Shippo tells Kira.

Karas got up off the bed after Keski finally stopped crying. "You know Naraku will be up here soon, are you going to be okay?" Karas asks.
Keski sighed, nodding. "I'll have to face him sometime," he said. He looked at his brother and said, "Thanks, Karas. For staying."
"Of course. You're my brother," Karas replied, smiling at him.

Karas walked over to the door and opened it."Oh Fluffy what are you doing?" he asks Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru grabbed Karas by his collar and yanked him out the room ."Ow that hurt!" Karas yelled from his place on the floor.
"Then go to bed!" Sesshoumaru hissed at him and pushed Keski's bedroom door open. "Keski I need to talk to you." he says

Keski sighed, not turning over on the bed, and said, "What could I POSSIBLY have done now, Sesshoumaru?"

Sesshoumaru growled and walked into the room and walked over to the bed and sat down on it. "You didn't do anything but give Kohaku YOUR Shards!, they're yours now why don't you tell me what Naraku is doing to you, what lies is he filling your head with this time, I be damn if I'm burying you again!" Sesshoumaru tells him

Keski sighed and said, "Nothing, Sess. I just don't want to collect them anymore. That can be Kohaku's job."
Sesshoumaru grasped Keski's shoulder and forced him to roll onto his back. "Tell me the truth, Keski," he growled.

"It's nothing I just want to have kids, Naraku loves me."Keski says to him.
"You look scared and I can smell the salt from your tears." Sesshoumaru tells him.
"Why is it every time I see you two, you're always touching him?" Naraku asks as he leans against the door looking at Sesshoumaru and Keski

Sesshoumaru glared at Naraku and said, "What did you do, Naraku? Why is he so scared?" Naraku shrugged, examining his nails as he said, "I don't know. Maybe he fell asleep and had a nightmare."

Sesshoumaru growled and stood up, Keski sat up on the bed keeping his head down. Sesshoumaru took Keski's hand and placed the shards in it. "Keep them let Kohaku earn them since he shattered it." Sesshoumaru says to him and walks pass Naraku and stops.
"This time I am here, you won't get a second chance." Sesshoumaru tells him and walks out the room.

Naraku watched Sesshoumaru until he left the hallway before walking into the room and closing the door behind him. Keski quickly got off the bed "Where is Shippo?" Keski asked him as he held the shards in his hand and keeping a distance from Naraku.

"He's still in the dining room with the others," Naraku replied, leaning back against the door, staring at Keski, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Oh, I um , I'll prepare your night robe for your sleep." Keski says to him "I didn't tell Karas anything." Keski says to him as he moves toward the closet.

Naraku appeared in front of Keski just as he reached the closet. "Why did you give Kohaku the shards, Keski? After what we had just talked about in the cave?"

Keski jumped back. "I was mad and I didn't see why I needed to find them if Kohaku can, he'll turn them over to you if you ask him ."Keski tells him.
"Hmm I don't know that and neither do you, now you will find the rest or I'll make your kit suffer." Naraku tells him
Keski glared at him and said, "Alright, when it comes to you hurting ME, I'll take it. But don't you dare bring Shippo into this."
"Your mood changes when it comes to that damn fox!" Naraku growled at him
"I'll drag you to hell with me Naraku before I let you hurt him!"Keski growls at him and pushes pass Naraku and over to the bed. "Shippo is mine, I swear I'll go and I'll tell Sesshoumaru everything!"Keski tells him

Naraku glared at him and said, "You wouldn't dare."
"Try me. When it comes to Shippo, or my brother, I won't let anyone hurt them," Keski replied, glaring right back.

"Fine I won't go after Shippo or Karas, really either one is too weak to really do anything to."Naraku says to him.
Keski sat down on the bed "For the record there is nothing going on between me and Sesshomaru."Keski tells him

"I wasn't sure until just now," Naraku replied. "He's mated and not interested in men, Naraku. Plus, I've known him since I was practically a kid," Keski said.
Kira walked up the steps and stopped at Keski's door and knocked on it."Keski are you awake or decent?" he asks.
Keski put the shards on the pillow and stood up and walked over to the door and opened it and saw Shippo in Kira's arms and smiled. "Thank you for watching him." Keski says to Kira

"You're welcome. If it's okay with you, would you mind if he stayed with Karas and I tonight?" Kira said. Keski smiled and said, "If Shippo wants to, it's fine with me.'

"Just tonight, I want you to rest." Shippo says to Keski and jumps in his arms and climbs up to his shoulder and kisses him on his cheek. "Night."Shippo says.
Keski picked Shippo up and kissed him on his cheek."Night be good for Karas and Kira." he tells him.

"I will be," Shippo said, smiling, as he jumped into Kira's arms. "We'll make sure he goes to bed at a decent time," he said, laughing.
Keski laughed as well and said, "Thanks. I appreciate it."

Keski closed the door behind him with a smile on his face "How cute you really want to be with kids."Naraku sneers at him as he takes a robe out the closet and takes off his kimono and puts the black robe on.
"Least he doesn't use me."Keski said.
Naraku chuckled and said, "I already told you how to get my love, Keski. It's up to you if you want it or not."
Keski got in the bed and laid down. "I have to earn it yet all HE has to do is blink his eyes and you're all for HIM." Keski says as he places his head on the pillow holding the shards in his hand in a tight grip.
Naraku sighed and said, "He doesn't have to earn it because his powers aren't as strong as yours are. I want strong powers in my bloodline."

Keski growled if he ever saw Kaguya or Tsubaki again he was going to purify them. Keski sat up in the bed."Get Out go sleep somewhere else!"Keski tells him as his hair falls forward.

Naraku glared at him and said, "What in the world could I have done this time, Keski?"
"Just get out!" Keski replied, glaring back.
Naraku smirked at him and walked over to Keski and sat beside him on the bed and kissed Keski on his lips running his hands through his hair, Keski kissed Naraku back closing his eyes before pulling away licking his lips.

Keski sighed and whispered, "How the hell are you always able to do that to me?"
"Do what?" Naraku asked, smirking.
"Make me angry one moment, then make me want you like crazy the next," Keski replied, his eyes still closed.
"It's a gift now can I go to sleep with out you trying to kill me?" Naraku asks him.
Keski nodded his head."Yes come on, I think Sesshoumaru is ready to leave his mom because of Kagome." Keski says to him and lays back down in the bed.
Naraku sighed and got into the bed as well and placed his arm around Keski's waist

Keski scooted back until his back hit Naraku's chest, closing his eyes. "Goodnight," he said. "Goodnight," Naraku replied, also closing his eyes.

The next morning The guards were packing and taking the bags out the castle. "Oh Sesshoumaru can't you stay longer?" Mira asked her son.
"Maybe another time mother, we have shards to find."Sesshoumaru says to her and kisses her on the cheek.
"Say goodbye to Grand mom." Kagome says to Rin.
"Bye Grand mom please come to daddy's castle soon." she says
Mira smiled at her and said, "I'll do my best, dear." She looked at Kagome, the smile vanishing, and said, "Take care, Kagome."

"Thank you for letting us stay here last night."Keski says to Mira.
"Oh you're welcome anytime Keski." Mira says with a smile. "You as well Kohaku." she adds. Naraku grunted as he walked out the castle.
Inuyasha walked out as well. "Inuyasha tell your human mother to be careful." Mira says to him.

Inuyasha turned towards her and glared, saying, "What's that supposed to mean? You gonna wipe her out or something?"

Mira smirked, 'Nothing of the sort just humans are very fragile." Mira says.
"Mother don't start you know Father will not stand for it." Sesshoumaru warns her and pushes Kagome and Inuyasha out the castle.
Keski walked pass Kohaku. "I wonder where we will go next." he wonders

"Does it matter? All we need to focus on is finding jewel shards, that's it," Kohaku replied, walking next to him now.
"That so, we have to rest at times but then again I am talking to someone that is still training."Keski says looking at Kohaku from the corner of his eye.
Sesshoumaru picked Rin up and placed her on Ah and un and then Shippo. "Lets go and please no sitting each other ." he says to both males.

"We don't sit anyone besides Naraku," Keski said, only to hear said person slam into the ground. "Oh! Sorry! Didn't mean it, I promise!" he said.
Naraku got up and glared at Sesshoumaru.
"You did that on purpose!" Naraku hissed at him.
"I know now I can go on with my day." Sesshoumaru says to him.
Souta walked over to Kohaku. "Kohaku you don't sit Naraku do you?" he asks.
"Not if I don't have to." he says to Souta.

Souta smiled and said, "That's good." Kohaku laughed and said, "Why is that good?"

"Because he's your mate."Souta says to him with a smile.
"Not his mate to he takes him to his bed."Keski says under his breath and starts walking.
Kohaku glared at Keski and said, "I'll let you in on something, Keski. I'm still a fucking virgin, okay? So shut the hell up!"

"Kohaku!" his parents yelled at him.
"I know you're hence he's not your mate!" Keski yelled at him
Sesshoumaru growled and walked up to Keski and grabbed him by his arm. "Lets' go!" Sesshoumaru tells them as he pulls Keski along with him.
Inuyasha looked at Kohaku. "I never seen you get so riled up."he says to him

"He makes me angry," Kohaku replied, crossing his arms. He looked at his brother and said, "Sorry you had to hear that. Don't ever repeat it." Souta just nodded, staring at his brother.

Kagome was in a good mood. "I never seen Keski get so angry."she says to Karas.
"Trust me it can get worse I still recall when I was a kid and how he punish me."Karas says with a shiver.
Naraku looked at both mates he walked over to Kohaku. "Don't let him get to you, he has a lot on his mind." Naraku says to him.
"Like what?" Kohaku said.
"Personal things, okay? Just let it go," Naraku replied. Kohaku looked at him and said, "Why do you always stand up for him?"

"I take up for you and when I do he sits me."Naraku says to him.
"Then prove you care about me stick up for me the next time he says something mean."Kohaku says.
Naraku smiled and bent his head down and kissed Kohaku on his lips causing Kikyo to bump into Kagome, Keski turned around and saw the kiss. Sesshoumaru placed his hand over Keski's mouth and dragged him further

Keski tried to talk, but it was muffled by Sesshoumaru's hand. When they were far enough, Sesshoumaru let him go. "Dammit! He's ALWAYS trying to make me angry!" Keski yelled, picking up a rock and throwing it.
"Calm yourself now, you're older than Kohaku so act like it, and get use to the fact that you mated someone who mated another." Sesshoumaru says to him.
Keski counted to 10 and then counted to 20. "Fine!, what does it matter anyway you all just pity me, and you just don't want to go to another funeral." Keski sneers at Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru sighed and said, "Keski, that's not true and you know it. I'm doing this because I don't want to go through you dying again, while I stand by, unable to do anything."

Keski looked at Sesshoumaru and walked over to him and hugged him around his waist. Sesshoumaru rubbed him on his head. "You're more moody than Kagome and Kikyo." he says to him.
"What was that?!" Kagome said with her hands on her hips as the group caught up to them
"Nothing, dear, nothing at all," Sesshoumaru said, the two pulling away.
"Look who's in the doghouse now," Keski said, Laughing.
"Do either of you sense the shards?" Sesshoumaru asks changing the subject.
Keski looked at Kohaku and saw him holding Naraku's hand. "No I don't sense a thing." Kohaku says.
Keski sighed. "Maybe we should head East some humans might have possession so we will have to go to human villages."Keski says
"Alright, let's get going," Sesshoumaru said, nodding, and starting off in that direction.

As the day kept going on Keski walked by himself, Bankotsu walked over to Keski ."You want some water?" he asks him.
"Thank you."Keski says taking the bottle from him and drinking it
. "No problem don't want you going thirsty." he says to him.
"I never saw you at the castle when I use to visit. "Keski tells him
."Yeah I was just a kid so tell me about the time you shot Sesshoumaru in the ass." Bankotsu says to him Keski laughed it's a long story."Keski says

"We have time, as you can see," Bankotsu said, waving his hand at their surroundings. Keski laughed and said, "I guess you're right."

"No he's not right!" Sesshoumaru growled. "Get back with the guards now!" he says to Bankotsu.
"Aww why, he's all alone." Bankotsu says Keski stops when they come to a village and begins walking and s tops seeing it's his old one.
