Ch39
Naraku put his tea cup down and looked at Kira. "Nothing you say will change my mind, this is Keski's fate."Naraku tells him.
"You spared me , and you were raising me you knew how sad I was when my parents died , you can't do that to your own child."Kira says
"Unlike you, both of it's parents won't be dead. I will still be here. It just won't have the mother it wants," Naraku said, looking back down at his scroll.
Kira ignored the pang in his chest and said, "Your child will hate you for the rest of it's life when it finds out you killed it's mother. I know it because humans are the same way."
Naraku sighed and called Kanna in and saw Kagura and Juuroumaru walk in behind her. "Oh your back well report."Naraku tells them.
"We can't get in the barrier is strong, Keski came out he was walking with the head guard, he saw us but didn't tell anyone." Kagura tells him.
"Master I don't see how we'll be able to get in the palace." Juuroumaru adds, in a softer voice
Naraku sighed and rubbed his eyes with exhaustion. "Stake the palace out, Keski will have to have a moment of reprieve sometime, he can't hold that damn barrier forever," he said, looking at the incarnations before him.
Kira laughed. "You forget even if Keski rests there is still Karas, Caren and Dante, and who knows he might train Souta."Kira said the last name loud to piss Kohaku off.
Kagura looked at Naraku when Kira spoke but kept her mouth shut.
Kohaku glared at him and hissed, "I would keep my mouth shut if I were in a position such as yours." Kira only smiled, which pissed Kohaku off even more.
Naraku looked at Kira, he did have a point, he looked at Kanna and saw Keski in Sesshoumaru's study the two were talking.
"Sesshoumaru, I don't know how long I can hide from Naraku , I'm not worried about Kohaku but Naraku is different, this baby I wanted to care for him or her, I want my life back." he says.
Sesshoumaru looked at him. "You will, I will protect you and the baby, if you want I'll be the father." he says
Keski's eyes widened and he said, "You're with Kagome. That would be a little awkward." Sesshoumaru sighed and said, "You have a point. I want you to be with someone who you're happy with, and it's apparent that it's not Naraku."
"Well it could be Naraku if he wasn't so evil, why can't he be like he was when I brought him back to the shrine, he was so loving, I knew he was the one , how can I hate him when he gave me this baby?" Keski asks.
Naraku placed his hand under his chin looking at Keski. Kira didn't like how quite Naraku was, that meant he was plotting and it wasn't going to be good for the other person.
"I'll let him stay with the dog for now least I know my heir is being cared for."Naraku says to them.
"And then what?" Kohaku asks.
"Once the baby is born and Keski is well enough he will come out searching for the shards and then I will take him."Naraku tells Kohaku.
"What about the baby?" Kohaku said.
"I'll make a trade, Keski for the child. But once I get the child, I'll kill Keski on the spot," Naraku said, still looking into the mirror at his mate.
Kira glared at Naraku "Sesshoumaru will never let you near Keski!, leave him alone all he ever wanted was to be loved, your evil, here he is having your baby and you plan on killing him again, and you, Kohaku you hate Keski so much that you can help end his life?" he asks him.
Kagura looked at Kira. "I have to admit Naraku even for you that's wrong." she says.
Naraku chuckled and said, "He brought this on himself, If he weren't so defiant then he wouldn't be in this mess."
"Cause he doesn't want to let you enslave the world?, yeah I know and so does Karas, I bet my life that Sesshoumaru knows as well so your plan won't work." Kira tells him.
"Hmm, Naraku how about you pay Sesshoumaru a visit well both of us, leave Juuroumaru in charge ."Kohaku says to him
Naraku looked up at him and said, "I believe you're right. But, Kanna shall be in charge."
Kohaku smiled as Naraku looked at the small girl. "If anything is going wrong, contact me immediately. I'm not sure when we'll be getting back. And Kira will be joining us as well."
Kanna nodded her head, while Kagura huffed, Naraku stood up and walked over to Kira and pulled him up by his arm and began dragging him out the room with Kohaku behind him.
"Let me go, why are you taking me?" Kira demanded to know.
"Kira don't you want to see Karas?" Kohaku asked.
"No that's why I made the deal with this bastard!" Kira growled
"I'm sure Karas would like to see you," Naraku said, smirking at Kira.
"Naraku, please! It would break him," Kira whispered, the pain evident in his voice.
Naraku walked outside with the two younger males and formed his misama cloud and the three headed to Sesshoumaru's castle. Kira struggled all the way there.
Kohaku looked around as he held onto Naraku. When they arrived at the palace, Kohaku saw the barrier. "Wow this might take sometime to bring down."he says to Naraku.
"I'm sure you can handle it," Naraku said, smiling at him.
Kohaku smiled back before looking back down at the barrier as Naraku descended, landing right outside of it.
"I don't see why I have to babysit you."Bankotsu says as he walks next to Inuyasha outside. "Quit complaining!, Sesshoumaru wanted to talk to Keski with no interruptions so he asked you to watch me, I hate being stuck here!" Inuyasha growled
"Then why don't you take Shiori home?" Bankotsu asked.
"Because Sesshoumaru doesn't think it'll be safe. He thinks that Naraku will use Shiori against me," Inuyasha replied.
"Yeah I think he would." Bankotsu says.
Kira saw Inuyasha and Bankotsu, "Inuyasha go back inside!" he yelled.
Naraku growled and threw Kira to the ground. "You're going to be punished when we return." Naraku tells him.
Inuyasha ears twitched when his name was called. "Whose there?" he asked as he took Tetsusaiga out from it's sheath.
"Inuyasha, go!" Kira yelled, not bothering with Naraku's threats. Inuyasha whirled around and saw the three, glaring at Naraku.
"Naraku what do you want?!" Inuyasha asked him.
"You know who I want tell your brother to bring him out now." Naraku tells him.
"Keski doesn't want you here!" The teen tells him then looks at Kohaku. "What the hell why are you still with him?!" Inuyasha asked
"He is my mate and deserves my loyalty, unlike his disrespectful first mate," Kohaku said scornfully, wrinkling his nose in distaste.
"Kohaku, this isn't like you! You aren't the same person I grew up with!" Inuyasha said, and Kohaku could see the hurt in his eyes.
Inuyasha growled. "Get Sesshoumaru and Keski." he tells Bankotsu.
Bankotsu sighed and went inside and knocked on Sesshoumaru's study door. "Come in." he heard him say.
Bankotsu came inside. "Master you and Keski are wanted in the gardens." he says.
"What is it now?" Sesshoumaru sighed, standing.
"Naraku is here, sir," Bankotsu said.
Sesshoumaru's ears perked up and he growled.
Keski was already in the room so he stood and said, "Let's go, Sess."
"Keski no matter what he says don't drop that barrier." Sesshoumaru says to him.
"I know." Keski says to him and walks out the study with him, Bankotsu following behind, "Inuyasha stand down." Sesshoumaru says to him seeing Naraku and Kohaku along with Kira.
"Kira!" Keski said and ran over to the barrier.
"No Keski I'm okay, you stay there." Kira says to him.
Keski looked from him to Naraku and said, "Naraku, what is the meaning of this?"
Naraku smirked and said, "I just figured that the boy missed his master and so I took him back."
"That's a lie you did to hurt my brother!, what do you want here?" Keski asks him.
"Keski I have come for you and the baby, you need to come back."Naraku tells him.
"You're a fool to think I let you near him again, I know about the deal you two made, everything how dare you abuse him!" Sesshoumaru growled as he took his sword out as well.
Keski drew his bow and arrows out and loaded them, aiming it at Naraku. "I suggest you leave," he hissed, glaring at him.
Naraku chuckled and said, "You do realize that with enough study, Kohaku will be able to take down your flimsy barrier, right?"
Keski looked at Kohaku. "No, he won't be able too he can barely sense the shards."Keski tells him.
Kohaku glared at Keski. "You're going to eat those words." Kohaku tells him.
"Keski how about this the baby for your life?" Naraku asks him.
"Give me Kira." Keski says to him.
"And you'll come?" Naraku asks him.
"No, I am going to raise the baby on my own and don't tell me I don't know how, I am raising a fox kit!" he tells Naraku.
"Just because you are raising him doesn't mean you can raise a spider," Naraku hissed.
"It's the same thing, most likely just different food," Keski replied.
"Besides, he has Kagome and I here to help him, as well as Caren, Dante, and my brother," Sesshoumaru said.
Naraku narrowed his eyes at Sesshoumaru. "Keski you love me I see it in your eyes."Naraku tells him.
Keski lowered his bow and arrow and dropped them "Just stop it both of you, I can't deal with this and carry this child.,You want my life so bad, then please let me stay here and have the baby, and I'll come to you once the baby is born."Keski tells him.
"I'll be coming for you when the child is born anyway Keski. It doesn't matter if you come to me willingly or not," Naraku said.
Keski looked at him with sad eyes and said, "I won't let you take my baby."
