Ch52
Keski nodded and said, "But they might not be on the mountain, Naraku. What then?"
"I know they're not on the mountain, we're here so I can have a good plan and keep an eye on you two, knowing Sesshoumaru he'll go back to the castle but this time all he'll find is an empty palace and a surprise waiting for him." Naraku tells him.
Keski got a bad feeling in his stomach and he said warily, "What kind of a surprise?"
"One he's sure not to forget," Naraku said, smirking.
"Naraku it was just a kiss, you heard Karas he only did it to anger you, there is nothing going on between us." Keski tells him.
"Every time he comes around you get this look in your eyes, you're like a female in heat!" Naraku tells him.
"I am not just because he's more considerate doesn't mean I want to jump his bones!" Keski tells him
Naraku growled and stepped towards him. "Do not test me, Keski. I know that something is going on, even if you don't!" he hissed.
Keski rolled his eyes and stood up and walked pass Naraku, and looked at the clothes for Akito. "Don't you get it when he and I first met we tried to kill each other, and if there was something going on why would he come to me for advice on how to ask Kagome to be his mate?, I can't help it if others find me attractive, I don't ask them too, just like you, you were supposed to leave me alone and just focus on Kohaku." Keski reminds him.
"Who says I'm keeping you around because I'm still attractive to you?" Naraku asked.
"You can't fool me, Naraku. I see it in your face," Keski said, turning around and facing him.
"My face, I admit Keski you're good in the bed but so is Kohaku, it's fun for me to have you as a teen and adult." Naraku says to him.
Keski and Kohaku narrowed their eyes at him. "What the, that's it Keski and I are going on strike no sex for you." Kohaku tells him as he holds Akito in his arms.
Naraku growled at him and said, "Don't think I can't take it by force, Kohaku. Do you really want to try me?"
"No but it seems you're treating us like sex slaves is that all we're to you?" Kohaku asked him.
"Look Naraku why don't you go work on your plan while Kohaku and I make dinner." Keski says to him.
Naraku walked over to Kohaku. "When I come back I might take you by force just to get it through your head I am in charge." Naraku tells him and walks out the room
Kohaku widened his eyes as Naraku left and looked at Keski. "You know he can do it, Kohaku. For now, all you should focus on is getting on his good side tonight," Keski said.
"Can't we just try to run, Hiten seemed to have the hots for you as did Koga." Kohaku says to him.
"I would agree to run if Akito was older, she hasn't even showed me if she has any powers. "Keski tells him.
"Things have gone wrong, he's changed the plan, come on I'll show you what to cook , he has a favorite meal." Kohaku tells him
Keski smiled before picking up Akito before walking out of the room with Kohaku. They walked to the kitchen and Keski said, "So, what's his favorite meal?"
"He likes rice firm with medium rare boar meat and his sake, if you want to make the rice I'll make the meat and don't pour the sake until he asks for it, a servant lost a hand for not waiting. "Kohaku tells him.
"Yeah but you don't think he do that in front of Akito do you?" Keski asks.
"Yes, you saw him he was going to break my finger." Kohaku says
Keski sighed and said, "I don't know how he expects her to love him later in her age
. She'll hate him." "Unless she got his ways," Kohaku said.
"I hope not," Keski replied.
Keski saw a high chair and placed Akito in it, he wondered how long Naraku had been planning this since the mountain was already furnished. "Be a good girl while mommy makes dinner." he tells her and goes to getting the rice. Kohaku got the slab of meat out and cut it up and seasoned it and put it in the oven.
Sesshoumaru and Kagome made it to Naraku's castle. "Be on your guard." Sesshoumaru said once they changed back into their humanoid form.
Kagome nodded before sniffing the air. "Their scents are going stale," she said, looking at him.
Sesshoumaru took Kagome's hand and walked into the main part of the garden. "There are no guards." Sesshoumaru says to her.
Sesshoumaru walked up the steps and kicked the doors down and walked in. He walked down the halls he opened the doors "He was a step ahead of me, they're gone." he says
"We'll find them, Sess," Kagome said, walking up to him and taking his hand in hers. "How, Kagome? He's most likely covered their tracks," Sesshoumaru said, looking over at her.
"We will, Sess, maybe for once Naraku is thinking about his child." Kagome says. Sesshoumaru laughed, "Please all he thinks about is himself, we'll just ask around someone had to see a baby girl with red eyes." Sesshoumaru says to Kagome and takes her hand and begin walking back out the castle when they get outside they're met with an old friend.
"Well if it isn't Sesshoumaru and Kagome." Sara says to them, she wore a tight fitting see through kimono.
Kagome gripped Sesshoumaru's hand tightly in hers before slipping her arm around his waist. "Well, if it isn't Sara," Kagome said. "Hello, Kagome. Sesshoumaru," Sara replied, not removing her eyes from the demon lord.
"Sara, what a nice surprise. And, pray tell, what is your business here?" Sesshoumaru asked after quickly regaining his composure at Sara's appearance
"I've been missing you, I heard you have a pup, a demon Lord told me I would find you here so here I am." she says and begins walking up the steps ignoring Kagome's growls.
"My Kagome the years haven't been kind have you gotten fat?" Sara asks her.
Kagome dug her claws into Sesshoumaru's waist. "Don't be jealous cause I have his pup, that I make him howl in bed." Kagome tells her with a grin on her face.
Sara smirked and said, "I would be making him bay at the moon at my command if I had a chance with him."
"But you didn't have a chance with him then, and you don't have even a sliver of a chance now. So back off," Kagome growled, glaring at the female in front of her.
"Are you sure Kagome he looked me up and down when he saw me, how about it Sesshoumaru I kept my body in shape just for you. "Sara says to him.
Sesshoumaru growled. "What is Naraku offering you Sara?" he asked her.
"Nothing but you, he told me you were so desperate you kissed a male." Sara says to him. "He did that to make Naraku jealous now back off you're just a human, so what if he looks at your body he's mine now leave before I kill you!" Kagome tells Sara and pushes Sesshoumaru behind her
"Go ahead and try it, Kagome. I'm not the same girl you once knew," Sara said, smirking, as she got into a fighting stance.
Sesshoumaru sighed. "Kagome now is not the time." Sesshoumaru says to her.
"Shut up this is between she and I, you sit there and look pretty." Kagome tells him and cracks her claws and lunges at Sara.
Sara smirked and pulled her sword out and ran at Kagome, Kagome dodged out the way missing the sword.
Sara jumped in front of Sesshoumaru and smirked. "I can't wait to have you in my bed tonight." she says
Sesshoumaru just raised an eyebrow at her. Kagome ran up behind Sara and dug her claws into the girl's shoulder, making her hiss in pain. "Get away from my husband," she hissed, throwing Sara over her shoulder and into the forest in front of them, her eyes flashing.
Sara growled as she put her hand on her injured shoulder. "You tramp he was mine first, you slept with him to get him to pick you!" Sara yells and raises her sword a purple mist came out the sword.
"Kagome!" Sesshoumaru yelled and grabbed her and pushed her down to the ground with him covering her body."That's misama." he whispers to her
"Oh, you're very clever, Sesshoumaru. But this miasma is special. It will seep through your clothes and into your skin no matter how long you don't breath," Sara said, smirking, as she walked closer, more miasma seeping from the blade.
"That's a polite way to treat the man you call to love," Kagome hissed, still under Sesshoumaru's body.
"Damn Naraku!, he said as he stood up. Sara laughed, "Once you go to sleep , Naraku will be taking her, I think I am getting the better deal, though." she says to him.
"I won't let him have her!" Sesshoumaru growls and turns into his demon form, he uses his tail and grabs hold of Kagome and jumps over Sara and runs out the castle. Sesshoumaru stopped and dropped Kagome and fell onto his stomach.
"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome cried, rushing over to him.
"I waited too long. Some of the miasma is settling in," Sesshoumaru said, wincing and holding his stomach.
"Just hold on, we can head to Koga's village and you can rest there." Kagome tells him. "No Kagome get out of here I can smell Naraku get out of here get back to the palace now, my father will find me." Sesshoumaru tells her.
"I am not afraid of Naraku!" Kagome growls.
"Would you listen for once, I know you're with pup!" he tells her
Kagome's eyes widened and she whispered, "How? I was trying to hide it so I could tell you at the right time."
"You don't hide it very well," Sesshoumaru said, chuckling.
Kagome sighed and said, "That may be, but I'm not leaving your side."
"Kagome, please. He's almost here. If you don't go, father won't know until it's too late," Sesshoumaru said, taking her hand in his.
Kagome growled. "Fine but you better stay alive, I'll be back with your dad as soon as I can and Inuyasha!" Kagome tells him and kisses Sesshoumaru on his lips before changing into her dog form and leaving.
Naraku arrived not long after Kagome left. "Lord Sesshoumaru your finally on your knees before me." Naraku said with a chuckle.
"You won't have her, she'll never be in your grasp." Sesshoumaru growls up at him.
"You said the same thing about Kohaku and Keski but look where they're." Naraku says to him.
Sesshoumaru growled and went to lunge at him but felt the sharp pain in his stomach. He clenched it and fell to his knees again, one of his hands supporting his weight so he wouldn't fall face first into the dirt.
Naraku clicked his tongue. "You will never see Keski again, Sara as was our agreement, he's all yours." Naraku tells her.
Sara glared at him, "Kagome is still alive, she got away you fool!" Sara yells at him.
"Sara don't think my mother won't have your head for doing this." Sesshoumaru tells her.
Sara looked at him and chuckled, saying, "If she ever finds out, that is. Or finds you."
"She will. Why do you think Kagome left, you idiot! I don't even know why I loved you anymore!" Sesshoumaru hissed.
"You will learn to love me after a night of making love you'll never leave me." Sara tells him and bends down to Sesshoumaru.
"When I get my strength back it will be your head." Sesshoumaru growls at her.
"Oh Naraku I thought you should know Kagome is pregnant again." Sara says as she places a collar around Sesshoumaru's neck.
"Bitch you won't die slow!" Sesshoumaru hisses out.
"Oh, what's the fun in that, Sess?" Sara said, smirking again.
"She's with pup? Interesting," Naraku said, smirking as well.
"You lay one finger on her and I'll rip you limb from limb!" Sesshoumaru hissed.
"Promises, Promises."Naraku says and pulls Sesshoumaru up. "Even if Kagome does find you she won't , want you once you've been in the arms of another."Naraku tells him and pushes Sesshoumaru into Sara's arms.
"Keski will kill you Naraku don't think you've won." Sesshoumaru tells him.
"Oh, I know I have. Don't think I can be stopped," Naraku said, smirking.
"Yes, you can be. And it will be Keski who does it," Sesshoumaru hissed.
Sara rolled her eyes and said, "Well, this has been a nice chat, but we must be going. Goodbye, Naraku."
Naraku vanished and appeared back at the mountain he walked inside and smelled the food he walked back to the kitchen to see Keski and Kohaku cooking. "Smells good you two." Naraku says to them.
"Oh we were just about to come and get you dinner is ready, have a seat." Keski says to him.
Akito blew bubbles as she tried to get out the highchair. Kohaku walked over with the rice. "You're in a good mood." Kohaku says to Naraku.
"Yes, I guess I'm in a better mood than I was earlier," Naraku said as Kohaku set down the bowl. He walked back and got the meat and set that before him as well while Keski got out a glass and the sake, setting the glass down and waiting.
Naraku fixed his plate and looked at his mates. "I see Kohaku has informed you of what to do." Naraku says to him.
"Yes I need my hands to take care of Akito." Keski says.
"Yes I see our little darling is being a good girl." Naraku says and rubs Akito on her head. "Naraku I'm sorry for making you mad earlier." Kohaku says to him
Naraku looked at him and said, "Since I'm in a better mood I'll let it slide this once. Next time you step out of line I will punish you, and don't think I won't."
"I know, and thank you for letting it go." Kohaku says to him.
"I like my sake now." Naraku says to Keski.
Keski picked up the bottle and poured the sake into the glass and sat the bottle back down. "You two can sit and eat." Naraku says to them.
Keski and Kohaku sat down. Akito held out her arms to Naraku wanting to be picked up.
Naraku smiled and took his daughter out of her highchair, balancing her on his knee so he could continue to eat while holding her. "And how is daddy's little girl this evening?" he said, smiling down at her as she giggled.
Akito rubbed her face against Naraku's kimono and sniffed it, and then sneezed. "What's on your kimono to make her sneeze?" Keski asks him.
"Hmm, just some dust." Naraku tells him and a small smirk appeared on his face.
"So Keski and I were thinking about looking for the last shards." Kohaku says
"That's a good idea, but some of the guards will go with you," Naraku said.
"Is that completely necessary? We can look after ourselves," Keski said.
"Yes, it is. You need protection, especially since you will have Akito with you," Naraku replied.
"Why can't you watch her?" Keski asked him.
"I don't have breasts, you do." Naraku says to him.
"Yeah and what are you going to be doing while we're out?" Keski asks.
"Finishing up my plan it's almost time for me to attack, besides I need to pay Hiten a visit."Naraku tells him.
"I don't think Hiten will help you since you treated him so wrong last time." Kohaku tells him
"He will. I'm sure he wouldn't want to be in the middle of the war and have to defend his territory. If he helps me, I can protect him from that," Naraku said, taking a bite of the boar
"What makes you think that Sesshoumaru hasn't found him by now and killed him?" Keski asks. "Trust me Sesshoumaru has his own issues to deal with."Naraku tells him.
Akito sneezed again, this time Keski stood up and walked over to her and picked her up and looked at Naraku's kimono and saw a strand of white hair." What is this?" Keski asked
Naraku looked down and said, "A strand of hair. Must have gotten it from a horse or something." "There are no white horses in the mountains, Naraku," Keski said, reaching down and plucking it from Naraku's kimono. When he felt the softness of just one strand his eyes widened and he said, "What did you need from Sesshoumaru?"
"I just got him out of the way he's alive and should be waking up in the arms of his old love."Naraku says to him.
"Sara, how would he get in her arms he's in love with Kagome." Keski says to him
"One would think that but she was touching him all over and Kagome was nowhere around."Naraku tells hm.
"Still I know Sesshoumaru and he would never cheat on Kagome."Keski tells him.
Naraku chuckled and said, "You'd be surprised at what some people would do when passion is involved."
"I don't believe you," Keski said, gripping his hand around the strand of hair.
"You don't have to believe me would you like to see?" Naraku asked him.
"Sesshoumaru loves her she's the mother of his child, he told me Sara was a mistake!" Keski yelled at him.
"Keski calm down." Kohaku said to him.
Naraku pulled out Kanna's mirror and showed Keski, Sesshoumaru in Sara's bed and they were both naked. "Is that proof enough?" Naraku asks.
Keski glared at the mirror and said, "Look at his face, Naraku. It's clear he doesn't want it." He glared at his mate before turning around and storming out of the room, holding Akito close to him.
Kohaku scratched the back of his head. "Why do you keep angering Keski , Naraku you know he cares about Sesshoumaru." Kohaku says to him.
"It's part of my plan Kohaku, with Sesshoumaru out the way his father will run to his aid and while they're doing that I will destroy the Western lands."Naraku tells him.
"But my parents and Souta will be there!" Kohaku tells him
"And like I told you, I will get them out," Naraku said.
"I hope it's before you attack. I don't want them seeing the fighting at all," Kohaku said.
Keski sat on the bed as Akito crawled around on the floor. "Poor Kagome, poor Fluffy, there is nothing I can do since I have Akito." he says.
Kagome got back to the palace. "Inutashio!" she yelled The demon Lord walked out the study. "Kagome what are you doing back here?" he asks her.
"Naraku, we walked into a trap, Naraku and Sara joined up and she used this sword with Miasma in it, Sesshoumaru was over powered by it, he made me go cause I am pregnant!" Kagome tells him with tears in her eyes.
Inutashio walked up to Kagome and pulled her into his chest. "Sara told us that Naraku wants me and that's why Sesshoumaru made me leave him." she says
Inutaisho shushed her and said, "We'll get him back, Kagome. I promise we will. I'll rip that bitch apart myself!"
Kagome sniffled and looked up at him. "We'll need more than just you," she said. Inutaisho sighed and said, "I know. As much as I don't want to, we have to go to his mother. She'll want to take part in Sara's death just as much as we do. She hated her from the very beginning."
"She sure acted like she wanted him with Sara when I came a long." Kagome says to him. "That's because she didn't want another female dog demon in the family, she can't help but care you're the mother of our grandchildren." Inutashio tells her.
"We'll go see Mira, and we'll bring Inuyasha along, ,You decide what you want to tell Rin, I am going to talk to Izayoi and Inuyasha." he says to her.
Kagome nodded her head."Oh Kagome if you come along you have to be extra careful." Inutashio tells her.
"I will and when I find Naraku I'll bite his head off." she growls.
Inutaisho gave her a smile before walking off to find his mate. Kagome sniffed the air and followed her daughter's scent to her room.
