ch41
Miroku's eyes widened and he turned towards Kohaku. "YOU shattered the jewel?" he hissed.
"It was an accident," Kohaku said, forcing the tremor of fear out of his voice.
Naraku looked at Kira and then at Miroku. "It was an accident my incarnation scared him and he had no choice but to shatter it." Naraku tells Miroku and leans in and kisses Kohaku on his lips, "He has learned from his mistake and want to help us." he says to Miroku.
Miroku nodded his head. "Then when we get it back take care of it." Miroku says to Kohaku. "Don't worry and please don't compare me with Keski." he says
Miroku nodded and gathered the potions and spells he had made. "These will help when the time comes," he said, placing them carefully in a carrying case designed for items such as the ones he had.
"Alright it's all done, I know where all the rooms are, I can only guess which room Keski would be in , Kohaku says the main guard name is Bankotsu." Miroku says to him.
"Yes that is his name." Naraku says and stands up
Kohaku stood up as well. "I know you have all these spells but what if Keski is teaching Karas as we speak?" he asks Miroku.
"Karas will still not know as much as his brother, so he should be fairly easy to get rid of," Miroku said. "No! I won't let you kill him!" Kira yelled, glaring from Naraku to Miroku.
Karas was sitting in the garden thinking about Kira he walked up to the barrier and touched it and watched it fall away before walking just outside the line and replacing it just how it was, reinforcements and all. He then turned around and started toward where Naraku had taken him.
Naraku walked over to Kira and slammed him against the wall of Miroku's hut. "You're very close to being unable to walk!" Naraku hissed at him.
"Let me go your nothing like my old master, you're a monster!" Kira yelled at him. "I want Karas now." Kira yelled.
Miroku looked at Kohaku. "Is he always like this?" he asks Kohaku.
"Since he's been with us yes." Kohaku answers
"Very annoying," Miroku said.
"Tell me about it," Kohaku sighed.
Miroku walked up to Kira and whacked him on the back of the head hard enough to knock him out. "That should keep him quiet for a while," Miroku said, rubbing his head.
Naraku looked at Kira's now silent form and walked over to Kohaku. "Why don't you go look around I want to talk to Miroku." Naraku says to him.
"Okay I'll be back in a bit." Kohaku tells Naraku and walks out the hut.
"What is it?" Miroku asks.
"Can you make a spell I can use now to control Keski without hurting my child?" Naraku asks him.
Miroku rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, "I'm not sure, but I can look it up."
"That would be very helpful in our situation," Naraku said, smirking
"You know I never thought Keski would mate a demon, what spell did you put on him?" Miroku asks as he walks over to his scrolls.
"Keski tried to kill me, then he brought me back to the shrine where he cared for me and fell in love with me."Naraku tells him.
Kohaku walked around the village seeing the children and mothers, he kept walking and stopped to look up at the moon. "I wonder if Naraku will really kill him." he said aloud.
Karas walked down the road after making sure he wasn't being followed by any of the guards. "Naraku you will pay for this." he vowed as he kept walking he stopped when he felt a demon aura and looked at the village he took his bow and arrow from his back and placed the arrow in the bow and walked into the village.
Karas was looking around for Naraku when he spotted Kohaku. "Kohaku !" he hissed, stalking up to the boy.
Kohaku looked over at the sound of his name and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Karas. He didn't have any weapons with him and he was too far from Naraku.
"Hello Karas , wait how did you get out the barrier?" Kohaku asked him.
"Don't worry about it where is Naraku and Kira?!" he demands of him .
"Why would I tell you, even if you saw him, you'll never leave with him alive." Kohaku tells him.
"Than neither will you!" Karas hissed and walked up to Kohaku and punched him in the face knocking him to the floor, "I can't believe I thought you would be like Keski!" he yelled at him
Kohaku sneered up at him and said, "I never said I would be like Keski! Everyone compared me to him, and him to me. 'Oh, Kohaku, you'll be as good as Keski one day!' 'Oh, Kohaku, Keski is getting ahead in this field, you better catch up!' Do you know how that feels! I want to be compared to no one but me!"
"Even so you have no right to betray the rest of us, Sesshoumaru brought you into his castle he took care of you protected you from the same demon you're with now!, he killed Keski how can you even want to be near him and how can you do this to Kira to me, you know I love Kira." Karas says to him.
"I didn't know Naraku planned to take Kira from you!, I wasn't in on that but I don't care what happens to Keski." Kohaku tells him.
Karas pulled Kohaku to his feet. "Take me to that spider now!" Karas demands.
Kohaku stood to his feet and Karas pulled him in front of him, unsheathing a dagger and holding it at Kohaku's neck. "So that you can't run to him when we get there," he hissed. Kohaku said nothing and just walked towards Miroku's hut.
Kohaku smirked. "You won't kill me, I look too much like Keski." Kohaku tells him.
Karas didn't say anything as they walked back to the hut.
Miroku looked over the scrolls. "So what's sex with Keski like?" Miroku said with a perverted grin, is he a screamer or does he just lay there?" he asks Naraku.
Naraku smirked and said, "Oh, he's quite vocal. But that all depends on how you do it."
Miroku chuckled and said, "I always thought of him to be the lay there and let you have your way with him kind of guy, but I guess I was wrong."
Kohaku walked into the hut with Karas . "Naraku."Kohaku says to him.
"Don't even move Naraku hand over Kira now or say goodbye to Kohaku." Karas says drawing blood making Kohaku flinch.
"Karas how did you get out the barrier?" Naraku asked him as he looked at Kohaku.
"Karas you have grown, no longer the little runt that I knew." he says.
Karas's eyes widened and he said, "Miroku? You're helping this demon to hurt my brother?" Miroku smirked and said, "I'm not as sweet as you thought I was, Karas."
Karas glared at him before turning back to Naraku. "You heard me! Give me Kira and you get Kohaku," he said
"You're truly a fool, it's a shame Keski's great talent will be gone when he's dead, you think I'll hand Kira over to you?" Naraku asks as he walks over to him. "You coming to me will only make Keski come quicker, your beautiful brother would do anything to save you." Naraku tells him. Karas pushed Kohaku out the way and grabbed his arrow and bow and let it go shooting Naraku in his arm.
Naraku hissed in pain and grasped his arm with his other one. Karas quickly shot another one deep into his leg, making it collapse under him. Kohaku and Miroku ran to him, leaving Kira unguarded. He shot one more into Naraku's other leg before running to his love, shaking his shoulder and seeing Kira's eyes flutter open. "Kira, hurry, we have to go!" Karas said, pulling Kira to his feet.
Kira moaned and slowly stood up, Karas untied him and helped him out the hut. "Karas are you crazy , if Naraku gets us he'll torture you for sure."Kira tells him.
"Maybe but for now he's hurt and we have to go, I have a feeling Keski is going to get me when we get back." Karas tells him.
"Naraku hold on I'll get them out." Kohaku tells him.
"No you have to stop them Kira knows our plans go!" he tells Kohaku as he summons Kagura and Kanna.
Kohaku nodded and ran out of the hut, Kagura and Kanna behind him. Kagura drew out her feather and the three jumped on, trying to find the two. Karas and Kira were now running through the forest, hiding their auras and keeping in the shade of the trees as the moon shone down on them. "We'll be there soon! It didn't take me long to get there!" Karas huffed, keeping his voice down. Kira nodded, jumping over a protruding tree root.
Kira looked up in the sky seeing Kagura. "Damn keep going one of us has to get back to the castle!" Kira yelled at him as he grabbed Karas by the hand and ran with him. "What have you been eating?" Kira asked Karas.
"It's hard not to eat when your brother is eating all these cookies and food around you!" Karas said in his defense. Kira chuckled as they ran on, "Well you'll lose some weight from running." Kira tells him.
"Dance of Blades!" Kagura yelled knocking them to the ground. Kira grabbed Karas's bow and arrow and shot it at Kagura and helped Karas stand and the two continued to run they ran to the castle. "Keski, Caren, Dante drop the barrier!" they yelled
The three priests were still awake at the moment, though they hadn't heard Karas leave. They heard him and Kira yell and ran outside, seeing them. "Quickly!" Keski said. They did the symbols just as Karas and Kira jumped at the barrier and quickly put it back up, making Kagura swerve her feather to avoid hitting the barrier. Kagura cursed and said, "Naraku is not going to be happy."
Keski glared at Karas and walked over to him. "You're not afraid right maybe I should bend you over my knee and give you a spanking!, how dare you leave and not tell me, what if Naraku had killed you!?" Keski asks him.
"I'm sorry I just had to get Kira back, and see no harm all safe." Karas says to him.
Keski wasn't amused. Karas quickly hid behind Kira. "Help me." he says
Kira smiled and said, "Thanks for saving me, Karas, but I think you need to handle your brother on your own." He kissed his lips and stepped aside, taking Karas's hand in his own.
"Look Keski I saved Kira on my own, and if I told you and you went, Naraku would have you, that's why I went on my own and it's good I did , Naraku is planning something big he has Miroku on his side and it seems Miroku hates you." Karas tells him.
"It's true they're waiting till you go into labor so they can get into the castle." Kira tells him. "Miroku?, why would he help Naraku?" Keski wonders.
"Because, like Kohaku, he hated being compared to you and felt he should have the jewel," Karas said.
Keski sighed and said, "Why do all of these people from our past have to come up?"
"I don't know, but we need to figure something out. We have to tell Sesshoumaru," Karas said.
"You want to wake up a dog demon?" Kira asked Karas.
"Not us, Keski, Sesshoumaru won't rip his head off." Karas says with a grin. Keski rolled his eyes and walked into the castle. "Karas you left Shippo in the room alone?" Keski asks. "he was busy playing, he's okay." Karas says as they walk up the steps and stop in front of Sesshoumaru and Kagome's door. "What if they're you know?" Karas asks.
Keski knocked on the door getting no answer he opened the door and walked in and over to the large bed seeing Sesshoumaru's white hair .Keski bent down and tapped Sesshoumaru on his shoulder. "Fluffy wake up." he says.
Sesshoumaru groaned and turned over, pulling Kagome close to him, making Keski stifle chuckles. He took a deep breath and tapped Sesshoumaru's shoulder again. "Fluffy, wake up!" he hissed. Sesshoumaru sighed, groaning as he said, "This better be important.
"It is Karas snuck out the house and lowered the barrier," Keski said in a hurry.
Sesshoumaru's eyes opened. "He did what?!" Sesshoumaru yelled and let go of Kagome and got out the bed.
"He's back now, he went to rescue Kira and now we need to talk so come on before you wake Kagome up." Keski tells him.
Sesshoumaru grunted. "What are you doing up?" Sesshoumaru asks.
"The baby's been moving around more since Naraku came." Keski tells him
Sesshoumaru sighed and said, "It's been moving a lot lately anyways. Come on, let's leave so that Kagome doesn't wake." He put on a robe and walked out of his room behind Keski and down the stairs to the sitting room where the others had gathered.
Sesshoumaru looked at Karas. "Have I not punished you enough when you were a teen?" Sesshoumaru asks. "If it was Kagome you do the same thing now shut up and listen to what Kira has to tell you." Karas tells him.
Sesshoumaru growled. "Speak Kira so I can teach Karas what happens to him when he angers me." Sesshoumaru says to him. Kira sighed.
"Well Naraku took me and Kohaku to this village where he said there was another priest, turns out the priest and Keski grew up in the same village and he hates Keski, his name is Miroku." Kira tells him
Sesshoumaru looked at Kira and said, "Is he a major threat?"
"Yes. He made a bunch of potions and spells and before Karas got there I was already fading in and out of consciousness and heard Naraku ask him if there were any way that he could control Keski without hurting the baby," Kira said, looking between Sesshoumaru and Keski.
Keski placed his hand on his stomach and stood up,and began pacing the room "Miroku might be more skilled than me, he's probably studied dark magic I don't know any of that, my baby is in danger and Naraku doesn't care anymore."Keski said with tears in his eyes.
Sesshoumaru sighed and got up and walked over to Keski. "Keski I promise you, I won't let any harm come to you or the baby, this Miroku what ever he tries we will fight it, you did good tonight, you stood your ground."Sesshoumaru says to him.
