Ch32

Kohaku came over after practicing, his hair was stuck to his face from all the sweat, "What are you doing here?" he asked Koga.

Koga looked at him. "I came with Sesshoumaru to see Keski, reincarnation."Koga says with a grin.

Kohaku glared at him and said through gritted teeth, "Do not call me that. I will not hesitate to kill you, wolf."

"You can't kill me, we all know which one has the powers, isn't that right Naraku?" Koga asks him.

"Koga instead of worrying about Keski, when you weren't even born when he was alive the first time, you should worry about your tribe."Naraku warns him

Koga glared at him and said, "What for, spider? You going to wipe us out?"

"Who knows what I might do if I am bored, but my main concern is Keski and my pup. it angers you and Sesshoumaru that I am the one that got Keski pregnant."Naraku tells him.

"Keski tell me now what is going on, Koga told me that you told him to give you the shards or Naraku was going to kill him."Sesshoumaru said.

"It's true the shards belong to me and Naraku was helping me collect them, that's all."

"Why don't I believe you?" Sesshoumaru said, turning around and standing in front of Keski, his arms crossed in front of his chest. "I don't know, Sesshoumaru, why don't you believe me?" Keski replied.

"I know Naraku is your first love Keski but if he is hurting you, you have to let me know."Sesshoumaru tells him.

"I'm fine, I am having a baby, Naraku is happy about the baby, can't you be happy for me?" Keski asks him.

"I am not burying you again." Sesshoumaru says to him.

Keski's mouth hung open for a second, stopping his words in their tracks before his face softened. "Is that what you're worrying about? That Naraku will kill me again?" he said.

Sesshoumaru took a breath and looked down at the ground, his hair becoming a curtain around his face as he nodded.

"Sesshoumaru he's not going to kill me, I promise you that and if it gets too bad I'll leave before the baby is born and come and find you."Keski says to him. Sesshoumaru lifted his head up and placed his hand on Keski's stomach. "I'll come back and check on you in a few weeks if you have to use that sit command on him." Sesshoumaru tells him.

Keski smiled, placing his hand over Sesshoumaru's. "I'd like that," he said. Sesshoumaru gave him a small smile and pulled him towards him, wrapping his arms around Keski in an embrace. Keski wrapped his own arms around Sesshoumaru's waist, still smiling.

Naraku tapped his hand on the floor. He wanted Koga off his grounds. "How long does it take to talk?!" Naraku growled out.

Kohaku looked at Naraku "Can't you find him on Kanna 's mirror?" Kohaku asked.

"Kanna show me." Naraku demands of her. Kanna showed Naraku the image of Sesshoumaru and Keski hugging.

Naraku's eyes narrowed and all he could see was red. He growled low in his throat and said between clenched teeth, "I'll be right back."

Shippo had been sitting by the door and his eyes widened at Naraku's anger. He ran out the door and down the path as fast as his little legs could carry him until he got to Keski. "Naraku's coming, Naraku's coming!" he said breathlessly, jumping up onto Keski's shoulder and almost hitting Sesshoumaru's chest.

Sesshoumaru saw fear in Keski's eyes when Shippo told him that Naraku was coming. Sesshoumaru fixed his clothes as he waited for Naraku to come to them.

"Sesshoumaru leave now!" Naraku growled as he walked up to them.

"I was leaving anyway I've had my talk with Keski and I'll be back in a couple of weeks, and if you try that stunt again, I will kill you this time and anyone who aids you." Sesshoumaru warns him.

"You have guts to threaten me in my own home, dog," Naraku hissed, possessively wrapping his arm around Keski's shoulders, pulling him into his side.

"Just like you have guts to threaten the life of your pup with the way you're holding his shoulders," Sesshoumaru said as he walked past, seeing Naraku's knuckles were white and Keski was wincing in pain.

"Come on Koga."Sesshoumaru said to him as he saw Kohaku sitting. "I hope you're being nice to Keski."Sesshoumaru says to him.

"Why wouldn't I be he is as father said my family."Kohaku says to him.

"Why are we leaving, what about Keski?" Koga asks.

"He's staying for now." Sesshoumaru tells him.

"What!?" Koga said.

"You heard me. I'll be checking on him in a few weeks and if I feel he's being mistreated, I'll be taking him to either my castle or to his brother's home," Sesshoumaru said, staring ahead as they walked out the front doors of the castle. Koga just huffed, crossing his arms over his chest.

After the two left the barrier went back up. Keski kept his head down as he walked back with Naraku. "Thank you for letting him come."Keski says to Naraku.

"Hmm did you enjoy your hug?" Naraku asks him.

"He was upset about something I was just assuring him that everything was going to be fine."Keski says to him. "Naraku my shoulder your hurting it." Keski tells him

Naraku released his fingers from their hold and placed his hand at his side again as Keski rubbed the shoulder, certain it would be bruised in the morning. "What is for dinner?" Keski asked after a few short moments.

"Kagura will know, you're more beautiful now that you're carrying our child."Naraku tells Keski.

Shippo looked at Kohaku and he thought he saw his aura turn dark at hearing Naraku call Keski beautiful. "He's not beautiful he's just a whore!"Kohaku yelled as he clenched his hands.

Naraku sighed and said, "Kohaku, if you cannot contain yourself, you will not be getting dinner tonight, and you will be sleeping by yourself. Am I understood?"

Kohaku was shocked to hear this. "Yes Naraku, I'm sorry."he tells him. Keski frowned at Naraku. "You don't have to threaten him."Keski says and walks over to Kohaku. "You know Kohaku we still hold the power see the necklace?" Keski asks him

"Yes," Kohaku said, looking at the beads. "We say that one word and he goes 'splat!' right into the ground," Keski said, smiling.

Naraku narrowed his eyes at both of them. "Kohaku you say that word and I will lock you in the dungeon and Keski I will chain you to the bed." Naraku tells them both.

"The mother of your child you would chain me up, Sesshoumaru will be glad to hear that." Keski says to him

"It's not like I would let him take you from me," Naraku growled.

"I would go with him willingly," Keski said, walking ahead of him towards the castle.

Keski walked back inside and followed the scent of the food to the dinning hall. "Mm that smells good."Keski says as he sits down and sees Shippo and picks him up and places him in the chair next to him.

"Keski why did you lie to Sesshoumaru about your hand?" Shippo asks.

"I didn't want him to fight and then get Kagome involved along with Rin and Inuyasha."Keski tells him.

"But he could have been able to help you," Shippo said.

"It's okay, Shippo. It will heal on it's own, in time," Keski replied, smiling at the kit.

Kohaku and Naraku walked in and sat down with Naraku sitting at the head of the table once again, the maids brought the food in and placed it on the table.

"This looks really good."Keski tells the maids and they smile at him

. "So are we going on any more hunts for the shards?" Kohaku asks Naraku as he watches Keski start to fill his plate.

"We will soon, but for now we'll rest and get our strength," Naraku replied, also putting food on his plate. Kohaku just nodded before doing the same.

"You two didn't do anything, it was me."Keski points out before eating some rice.

"That's because you ran after Koga."Kohaku says to him.

"Yes and if you had gotten to him first Kohaku you would have killed him, you know nothing about being a priest!"Keski tells him.

Naraku watched the outburst but stayed out of it for now.

"Maybe that's because you came along before I could finish my training!" Kohaku said, glaring at him. "It's not like I had a choice to come back. If I did, I would have chosen to stay away, even if it meant not being able to see anyone I really cared about ever again," Keski replied.

Shippo gasped. "Keski?" Shippo said to him.

"I am sorry Shippo I didn't mean it like that."Keski tells him and picks the kit up and sits him in his lap. "I love you, I just some things I have to do, that I don't like."Keski tells him as he looks over at Naraku before standing up and walking away from the table with Shippo in his arms.

When they were far enough away, Shippo said, "Why did you say that, Keski?"

"Because, Shippo, if I hadn't come back, then Naraku wouldn't be bothering you. Any of you," Keski replied, looking at the ground sadly.

"But we don't blame you, we love you Keski, when I heard you were alive I was happy."Shippo says and snuggles into Keski's chest.

Keski smiles at him and walks down to the bedroom he shares with Naraku and Kohaku and slides the door back and walks inside with Shippo.

"Hmm seems Keski is sad Naraku, whatever will you do?" Kagura asks.

"I will deal with it as it comes," Naraku replied, not looking at her. She chuckled and said, "How, when you can't harm him?"

"Kagura shut up before I put you in the dungeon!" Naraku warns her.

Kagura smirked and sat down at the table. "It amazes me you let Sesshoumaru go, weren't you going to kill him ?, oops did I say that?" she said as she looked at Kohaku.
