Chap 63
"I will not let you keep my daughter from me. She is the heir to everything, Keski. Every single thing we have, is hers," Naraku said.
"And that's fine, but she doesn't need to know you right now for that to happen," Keski said.
"You have another baby on the way and if it's a boy I know you, you'll put all your time into making him just like you and Kohaku, I am not evil and when I am well I will find the shards Naraku and I will train Akito so go ahead and spy on me for the next 18 years, from now on her father is Sesshoumaru." Keski tells him
Naraku growled and said, "That mutt is not my daughter's father! He will never be her father!"
Keski kissed Akito on her head. "He will treat her like she is an most importantly he won't treat me like a slave, I tried to make things work but it's all for nothing you will always treat Kohaku better." he says.
"Well, if you were more obedient you would have better treatment!" Naraku said.
Keski sighed I am not your damn slave!" Keski yelled at him which made Akito jump. "Just leave me alone Naraku be happy with Kohaku and your son."Keski says to him.
Sesshoumaru walked down the hall and into the kitchen to see Keski yelling. "Who are you yelling at?" he asks him as he walks over to the table and sits down in the other chair.
Keski sighed and said, "Sess, Naraku and I have a..." He tried to continue but his voice would leave him, no matter how much he tried.
Naraku chuckled. "This is one time I will stop that mouth of yours." Naraku says to him.
"Naraku and you're have a what?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
Keski looked at him and tried again and the same thing happened. "If you want to speak then you won't talk about this to him."Naraku tells him.
"It's nothing Sesshoumaru, ."Keski tells him with a smile.
"You sure?" Sesshoumaru asked.
Keski gave him another smile and said, "Yeah, it's nothing."
"Alright," Sesshoumaru replied.
"Well would you like to go to bed your room is ready it's right next to mine, we'll be staying here till Kagome has the pup." Sesshoumaru tells him.
Keski looked at him. "I wish things had been different, I wish you had been attracted to men." Keski says to him and stands up and picks Akito up and walks over to Sesshoumaru and places her in his lap.
Sesshoumaru gave Keski a small smile and said, "I know, Keski."
Keski had tears in his eyes he felt his life was ruined he would never be free of Naraku since they shared a child together. Sesshoumaru looked down at Akito and smiled. "Well you and I have been close since you shot me with that arrow, we have a non sexual relationship." Sesshoumaru says to him as Akito bounces in his lap.
Keski gave him a small smile, sniffing and wiping under his eyes. "I'm glad I know you," he said.
"Stop being so emotional you're safe here, Naraku isn't going to come here with Kohaku expecting so relax sleep in late tomorrow I'll take care of tiny terror." Sesshoumaru tells him as he stands up with Akito.
Naraku didn't return to the cave he got another castle after killing the young princess and young Lord, the servants not wanting the same fate decided to serve him.
Naraku had Kagura bring Kanna, Kikyo and Souta, to the castle, Hiten had left and taken with him, Taku, Hojo , Karas and Kira.
Kohaku was currently in the nursery making sure he had everything He hadn't seen Naraku since last night he knew he was in his study planning something.
He walked out of the nursery and down the hallway to the study, knocking on the door. "Come in," Naraku said. Kohaku opened the door and walked in, closing it behind him
"Naraku what are you doing you should be helping me get the nursery ready." Kohaku tells him as he walks over to the desk and leans against the desk.
"Kohaku right now I have to find a way to get to my daughter and Keski." Naraku tells him.
"Send Kagura, send Kanna, Keski isn't going anywhere as long as he is under the protection of Sesshoumaru." Kohaku tells him as he taps his foot.
"It isn't that simple, Kohaku. It's because he's with Sesshoumaru that I get to him," Naraku growled, running his fingers through his hair.
"You finally want Keski dead or you just want to punish him?"Kohaku asks him.
"I want both , he told me he was going to obey me if I let him raise Akito, then as soon as you and I have a fight he up and runs, I just don't get him, by running to Sesshoumaru what could that prove?" he asks.
Kohaku sighed. "You might want to brace yourself you remember when you came in the kitchen and you asked why did it smell like a dog had been in there?, well we lied Sesshoumaru came and gave us both flowers to say he was sorry."
Naraku stopped tapping his fingers on his desk and looked up at Kohaku. "What?" he snarled, standing.
"Sesshoumaru came to the castle and gave both Keski and I flowers to apologize for the things he said at his mother's," Kohaku said, looking down and inspecting his nails.
"That's why Hiten came bursting into my study and kept bothering me?! how dare you lie to me, I can see Keski but not you!" Naraku yelled at him.
"I like flowers, and he was so nice he even got down on his knees well not for me but for Keski, and at the time I was mad at you, but the good news is I never did betray you, I stayed he ran."
"That doesn't make a difference, Kohaku! You should have told me he was here," Naraku said.
"Well he didn't come to start trouble he just came to say he was sorry, he didn't come to fight you he had a flea with him." Kohaku says to him.
"A flea?" Naraku asked.
"Yeah he was telling Sesshoumaru to hurry up." Kohaku tells him.
"Myoga," Naraku said, his eyes narrowing.
"I think so. He was pretty desperate to leave," Kohaku said.
"I never saw him before and I grew up in the castle, he just said he be back and they left."Kohaku tells him.
Naraku walked around the desk and tilted Kohaku face to look at him. "Lie to me again and after our son is born I will whip you." Naraku says to him
Kohaku's eyes widened slightly and he nodded, his hands gripping the desk behind him.
Naraku walked away from Kohaku and over to the window. "Naraku I know you hate this but maybe it's for the best for now, Akito is only three weeks old and soon I'll be giving birth can't you just put this on hold besides we can't even find the last two shards right now."
"It irritates me to know that he's over there," Naraku said.
"Nothing is going to happen between those two."Kohaku tells him and walks over to Naraku and wraps his arms around Naraku's waist
"Come on our baby boy will be born soon and he'll be more powerful than Akito." Kohaku says to him.
Naraku turned around and wrapped his arms around Kohaku as well.
Rin was now 17 years old her hair was down her back long and silky like her mother's her baby brother Soran was 3 years old he had white hair and golden eyes he looked just like Sesshoumaru, Akito was 10 years old now her hair was on her shoulders she was a beautiful girl, she followed Keski and Sesshoumaru everywhere they went, so far Naraku had made no move to go after Keski. They had moved back to the castle to make things easier on Mira.
Naraku walked out to his garden to see his son Hakudoshi practicing his powers, Hakudoshi had lavender eyes and light hair. "Hello son." he says as he walks over to him. "Father are we leaving today I am looking forward to meeting my sister and her traitor of a mother." he says.
"We'll be leaving soon, son, I promise. You'll love your sister. She was beautiful as a baby," Naraku said.
"I know Kanna showed her to me but she calls that other demon daddy, what are you going to do to him and her mother?" he asked.
"Sesshoumaru will be dealt with and as for Keski there are many things I have planned and since your mother can't find the shards, Keski has to be kept alive." Naraku tells him
Hakudoshi smirked and said, "Do I get to help you kill him when they're found?"
"At the moment, I don't know if I'm going to kill him. I will give it a lot of thought, though. How are your powers coming along?" Naraku asked.
"Good, I have perfected my barriers and I can control my misama, Kagura has been good target practice, but I am not good with arrows it seems." Hakudoshi tells him.
"That is fine it isn't needed you're not protecting anyone, and your mother will always have my protection." Naraku tells him.
"But when you're gone there is no one here to protect him," Hakudoshi said.
"Your mother isn't weak he can make barriers , and he's sat me enough but if you want to protect him I won't fight you on it, your mom and sister are very important to me."
Miroku walked out to the garden. "I'm sorry to bother you but Akito is leaving the castle grounds as we speak." he says to Naraku.
Naraku smirked and said, "Excellent. This is all moving well."
Miroku nodded his head. "Kohaku said to tell you two to hurry up Kanna is with him, I have no idea where Kagura and Byakuya have gone off too." Miroku tells him.
Naraku frowned, I can find them when I need them, come on Son time for you to meet Akito." Naraku tells him.
Hakudoshi grinned and followed his father as they walked back inside and through the castle, leaving through the front doors.
Kohaku looked over his shoulder seeing Naraku and Hakudoshi. " Come on you wanted to meet your big sister for the longest." Kohaku tells him.
"You're in a good mood." Naraku tells Kohaku and kisses him on the lips.
"Yea we've been waiting for this day."
"For too long," Hakudoshi said, taking his mother's hand in his. Kohaku smiled down at him before looking at Naraku. "Are you ready to go?" he asked.
Yes."Naraku tells him as he forms his cloud. Hakudoshi helped Kohaku on. "Get on Miroku." Naraku orders him.
"Naraku, Keski is strong now and I've never gone up against Sesshoumaru." he says to him.
Naraku narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Get on." Miroku sighed and stepped onto the cloud, Naraku having it rise into the air and heading towards Sesshoumaru's castle
"What are afraid of Miroku you're on the winning side" Hakudoshi tells him as they flew toward the castle. "Sesshoumaru isn't known to be nice when it comes to Keski." Miroku tells him.
"Naraku do you think that Keski told Akito anything about you?" Kohaku asks.
"I'm not sure. He better have," Naraku replied, glaring ahead. Hakudoshi just smirked as he stared ahead of them, waiting in anticipation to finally meet his older sister
Kohaku sighed he could already picture what was going to happen when Naraku and Keski came face to face. "When you two see each other you will you be civil for Akito's sake?" Kohaku asks him as he looks at the dark jewel in his hand.
"I'll try. It all depends on Keski," Naraku said as they got closer to the castle.
"Which means no." Kohaku said under his breath.
Keski walked beside Sesshoumaru and Kagome as she held Soran while Akito and Rin walked ahead of them. "I don't see why you two encourage them on talking to boys." Sesshoumaru growled as Shippo sat on Akito's shoulder now.
"Because they're getting older, they need a head start," Kagome said, smiling, as she watched the two girls.
"The hell they do Rin is still a pup as is Akito, I am just glad Souta has never showed up." Sesshoumaru grumbles.
"Sesshoumaru Akito just says they're cute, it's Rin who is the one that can make you a grandfather." Keski says with a smirk on his face.
Sesshoumaru growled and said, "The hell she will. Not until she's 100."
"I am not waiting that long!" Rin said, glaring at her father over her shoulder.
"Daddy loud." Soran said as he looked at Kagome.
"Yes daddy is loud he needs to face facts that Rin isn't a baby anymore." Kagome says.
"Rin you don't want to date boys smell they don't take baths like your uncle, stay with me, I'll buy you all the clothes you want." Sesshoumaru tells her.
"He's really laying it on thick." Akito says
Rin rolled her eyes and said, "He's been doing that since I was twelve. He's just not ready to have more kids in the house."
Akito giggled at the thought, Rin joining her. "You already buy me anything I want!" Rin said over her shoulder, replying to her father's statement
"Sesshoumaru relax we only let you come cause you wouldn't leave us alone, so let the girls do what they want, Akito wanted to get flowers for her mommy and Rin just wanted to get out." Kagome tells him.
"Fine but don't go too far stay where we can see you." Sesshoumaru tells them
Rin sighed and said, "Alright, dad. Come on Akito, I know where there are really pretty flowers." Akito smiled and said, "Okay!"
Sesshoumaru growled and sat down under a tree, Kagome let Soran down and he ran over to his father. "Daddy I want to see the fish." he says as he pulls on Sesshoumaru's hand.
Keski sat down. "I can't believe she's this big already, I wonder what Kohaku's son looks like." Keski says to him.
"Probably more like Naraku, I'm guessing," Kagome said, leaning against the tree next to him. "Yeah, I guess so," Keski replied, sighing.
Sesshoumaru looked at them. "Can we not talk about him?" Sesshoumaru asked as he stood up and picked Soran up.
"He is her father, I only told her that we didn't get along, not that he's a killer and a tyrant." Keski says.
"When she is older you can tell her the rest right now she's happy with the big doggy as her daddy." Kagome says.
Rin and Akito walked to a field of flowers. "I am going to get mommy some lilies and roses." Akito tells Rin.
"Alright, but don't go too far," Rin said.
"Okay!" Akito said, smiling. She ran off a few feet in front of Rin and looked around the field for the flowers she was looking for.
Naraku arrived at the field with Kohaku, Hakudoshi, and Miroku. "There she is." Hakudoshi says seeing his older sister.
Naraku smiled seeing her. "She's beautiful, Keski has done a good job raising her, now it's time for her to come home." Naraku says to them
Akito was smiling as she looked at the flowers, singing to herself. She had a beautiful singing voice and it rang out across the field as she picked the flowers she wanted.
"How are you going to do that with Rin there?" Kohaku asked him as he looked at the girl he once had a crush on.
"If I have to hurt her I will, she is nothing but that dogs child, she means nothing to me, beside it will be good for Hakudoshi to show me his fighting skill." Naraku tells him and pats him on his shoulder.
"Mhmm, don't worry mom stay back if you're scared." he tells Kohaku
