ch 64
Kohaku smiled and said, "I'm alright, sweetie."
"Rin, look what I got!" Akito said, smiling, as she ran back over to the other girl. "Do you think mommy will like them?" she asked.
Rin bent down to Akito, she had become her little sister. "I think he will, he loves anything you give him, it's dad that the tyrant good thing he has Soran to keep him occupied." Rin tells her and stands up.
"Yeah it's good we have mommy and Aunt Kagome on our side or we never leave the palace." Akito says with a smile.
"Yeah let's head back before Fluffy has a fit." Rin says and giggles.
"Must you leave so soon?" Naraku asked as he stepped out from behind the trees.
Rin gasped and turned around, standing in front of Akito. "Come one step closer, Naraku, and I'll scream," she said, glaring at him. She wouldn't forget him no matter how much she tried. Couldn't forget, more like it.
"I am not here to fight you girl, I am here for my daughter, Akito come to me sweetie I know you smell I am your real father not Sesshoumaru." Naraku says to her.
Akito peeked around Rin and looked at Naraku. "You hurt my mommy, you're not my daddy!" she yells at him.
"This should be good." Kohaku whispered to Miroku.
Naraku growled in his chest and said, "I am your daddy. Now come on, you don't belong with them." "Stay away from me!" Akito yelled, tears in her eyes now, scared.
"You heard her Naraku now leave her alone she has a daddy one that will kill you if you harm her!" Rin growls at him.
Naraku smirked and said. "So true Rin, he'll come once your blood is spilled!" Naraku growls and his tentacles come out and go for Rin.
Rin growled and screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice reverberating as far as to Sesshoumaru's ears.
"Her voice is loud!" Hakudoshi said as he put his hands over his ears.
Sesshoumaru looked up when he heard the scream he handed Soran to Kagome. "See some damn male is molesting her!" he growled and took off running to the fields.
Kagome and Keski stood up, Keski fearing something had happened to Akito he took off running as well.
Naraku did manage to stab Rin in her shoulder , he then knocked her out the way and went to grab Akito.
"Daddy!" Akito screamed, just as Sesshoumaru came into sight. Sesshoumaru felt his eyes flashing and roared as he sped up, slamming into Naraku's side and sending him flying as he dove for Akito and Rin.
Naraku grunted as he went flying into the field. "How dare you!" Hakudoshi yelled at Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru growled and looked at his girls seeing Rin bleeding. "You okay?" he asked her.
"It's just a scratch, I am glad you came when you did." she says.
Akito had tears in her eyes ."It's okay I'm here now." he says to her.
"Akito!" Keski yelled as he ran to the field with Kagome right behind him.
When Keski saw Kohaku, Naraku, and the little boy he sped up, his breath heaving as he and Kagome got to the girls, each taking their daughter into their arms and making sure they were okay. "Is that him, mother?" Hakudoshi asked, looking between Keski and Kohaku.
Kohaku looked at Keski. "Yes that's him, your father's first mate." he says to Hakudoshi. Keski kissed Akito atop her head as he looked at Kohaku, he looked out the corner of his eyes seeing Naraku.
Naraku slowly stood up he caught the scent and saw Keski. "What lies have you been filling our daughter's head with?!" he yelled at him.
Keski stood up putting Akito behind him. "I only told her we didn't get along why are you attacking Rin she has nothing to do with this." Keski tells him.
"She's that mutt's daughter, and means nothing to me. She was in the way of my daughter, so I was simply going through the obstacle," Naraku said, still growling.
"Mommy, I'm scared," Akito cried, burying her face into Keski's clothes.
"It's okay, sweetie," Keski said, running his fingers through her hair, still looking at Naraku, fear in his eyes.
"It's time for you two to come home, I've allowed you, your freedom for ten years, you and I have a deal to finish." Naraku tells him.
"I don't want to that's why I left that night Naraku, I can't do this, I want Akito to have a normal life, you see she's doing fine, if you wait till she is 18 she can come to you if that is her choice, your son is handsome you and Kohaku have a son, which is what you always wanted." Keski says to him.
"You still made a deal, I thought you and I were finally friends." Kohaku says to Keski.
Keski looked at Kohaku . "We're friends Kohaku our kids are siblings, I don't hate you anymore but one parent to another you have to understand I only wanted to keep her safe, you know what I went through to keep her."Keski reminds him.
"Yes, I know what you went through, but Naraku is our mate, and we should obey him," Kohaku said. "I don't want my mating to be based on obedience! That's what I've been trying to show you! I want love in my mating. What I've received isn't love, it's abuse," Keski replied after covering Akito's ears.
Sesshoumaru stepped forward." Leave I don't want to fight you in front of her." Sesshoumaru says to Naraku.
"You're out of your mind if you think I am leaving without her." Naraku tells him. "Keski come to me Akito needs her father she needs to know Hakudoshi." Naraku says to him.
"She can get to know her bother if Kohaku wants to stay but I won't let you near her Naraku, you won't abuse her like you did me!" Keski tells him as he keeps his hands over Akito's ears
Naraku's eyes narrowed and he said, "She is just as much my daughter as she is yours, Keski. Now come here. I haven't seen her in ten years."
"You can see her from here, she's beautiful, I'll always love you for giving her to me, she has no powers."Keski tells him.
"I am tired of your stalling!" Naraku says to him and calls out Kagura and Byakuya, who looked very much like Kagura except he had violet eyes and had a sword, he was standing on a paper crane while Kagura was on her feather. "Take them now." Naraku orders them.
"Naraku, please, I'm begging you, don't make this harder on her than it is! If not for me, than for her!" Keski said, pulling Akito close and picking her up. "Cover your ears, baby," he whispered, kissing the side of her head. She did as she was told and buried her face into Keski's shoulder, her tiny hands over her ears.
"You did this when you ran away!" Naraku yells at him.
Sesshoumaru had enough he transformed into his demon form before them now was a very large white demon dog with razor sharp teeth. "Sesshoumaru."Kagome said as she handed Soran over to Rin. "When I tell you to run." She says to Rin.
Keski looked at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru barked at him and pushed him and Akito back with his back leg. Kohaku took his bow and arrows out and placed an bow in the arrow ready to shoot Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru, look out!" Keski said, just as Kohaku shot the arrow. Sesshoumaru just leaned his head back, the arrow going right past him as he snarled at Kohaku.
"This has nothing to do with you, butt out, you know the demon law that is his mate as you pointed out when I was younger!" Kohaku yelled at him as he placed another arrow in his bow.
Keski placed Akito on the ground and put a barrier around her. "Stay with Kagome and daddy." Keski says to her and took his own bow and arrows out ."Naraku!" Keski yelled and shot him with an arrow hitting him in the leg.
Naraku yelled out in pain when the arrow pierced him. Hakudoshi growled and yelled, "How dare you harm my father!?"
He wanted to anger Naraku and he knew he did now, Keski then pulled out a shard. "You want this come and get me!" Keski yelled and took off running leaving Akito with Kagome and the others.
"Mommy!" Akito yelled.
Naraku smirked. "Have fun with my offspring's." Naraku tells Sesshoumaru and pulls the arrow out and takes off after Keski.
"Keski!" Kagome yelled, holding Akito back as she started after her mother, crying.
"Mommy!" Akito screamed as Keski got out of hearing range.
Keski continued running, ignoring the fact he was gasping for air, knowing Naraku could be seconds behind him pushed him forward.
Keski ran through the woods not looking behind him. "I have to do this for you Akito." Keski says as he keeps running to he came to a stop at cliff, it was a dead end.
Naraku appeared a few seconds later. "What are you going to do now Keski, you left our daughter crying for you." he says to him.
"She'll be fine with Sesshoumaru, you want this shard more than her."Keski says to him. "That's not true I want her as well."Naraku says to him as he walks slowly to Keski.
"As well, not only. I've been trying to show you Naraku, a family is more important than power, than dominance," Keski said, backing closer to the cliff, aware that it's edge was close to his feet.
"You left me Keski now you're running away, I am not here to kill you, perhaps punish you but not kill you."Naraku tells him.
Keski backed away more and he slipped going over the edge.
Naraku growled. "Fool!" he said as he took his tentacles and caught him before he fell to his death. Naraku walked over to the edge and brought Keski back up and looked at him as he held him in his tentacles
Keski stared at him with fear in his eyes, clutching the shard in his hand as he looked into Naraku's eyes.
Naraku brought Keski close to him so their faces were inches apart. "You haven't been loved since you ran away, it's must be killing you living in a place where no one touches you."Naraku says to him.
"You're such a pig, what do you care Kohaku has kept your bed warm ever since!" Keski yelled at him
"For a while now we haven't been sleeping in the same bedroom, Keski," Naraku said.
"It doesn't matter, you can still screw him whenever you want," Keski said, resisting the urge to struggle in the tentacles.
Naraku pulled Keski closer and kissed him on his lips he missed this, though he never admit it Keski had a place in his heart, he loved the sweet taste, and the smell Keski had whenever he was close. Keski had a lavender scent to him that drove Naraku crazy. Keski closed his eyes as he was kissed no use it making Naraku angry since he was in this position.
When Naraku pulled away he sighed and said, "I've missed you, Keski." Keski licked his lips and took a breath, not saying anything.
Naraku sighed, Keski was always a stubborn one."You have nothing to say to me?" Naraku asked him.
Keski blinked his eyes. "I can't be with you Naraku, I promise you when Akito is older I'll make sure she finds you and gets to know her brother."Keski tells him and then looks down at the ground.
"Not good enough, Keski. I want my entire family," Naraku said.
"No, you don't. You only want me because I can find the jewel shards!" Keski yelled, a burst of power coming out with his anger
Naraku growled as he fell back onto the ground with Keski on top of him as his tentacles released him. "You and your damn outbursts, I can't help it if Kohaku can't find the shards, only you can do that, I want you because we belong together, we always have, I am not going to harm you, I'll even leave Sesshoumaru and his family in one piece." he tells him
Keski had tears in his eyes and he said, "You've said that before, Naraku. I won't let myself believe you again. Please, just let me go."
Naraku kissed Keski tears away. "I can't let you go, you're the mother of my child."Naraku says against his cheek.
Keski pushed himself up off of Naraku and stood up. "Please just go take your family and leave me alone, Sesshoumaru will be here soon." Keski says to him.
"You are my family, Keski. Don't you understand that!?" Naraku growled as he got up.
"I don't care! Take Kohaku and Hakudoshi and leave!" Keski yelled, making himself say the words that tore his heart apart.
Naraku eyes narrowed at hearing these words. "Very well then if that is the way you want it you're going to regret this I am only but so kind." Naraku reminds him as he send a telepathic message to Kagura and Byakuya to leave for now.
Keski looked at Naraku he did love him but he couldn't take the chance with him hurting him again. "Naraku please I don't want to fight you anymore." Keski says.
"Then stop fighting me!" Naraku said, walking up and grabbing Keski's shoulders.
"Kagura let's go Naraku wants us to leave." Byakuya said as he walked over to Hakudoshi and Kohaku.
"Why are we leaving she's my sister!" Hakudoshi growled at him.
"It's your father's orders, I for one don't want to be punished." he tells him.
Akito looked at Hakudoshi and stood up. "Wait, Hakudoshi, I want you and your mommy to stay." she says.
"We can't stay, Akito. I belong with our father, as does my mother," Hakudoshi said, looking at his older sister sadly as Kohaku took his hand.
Sesshoumaru turned back to his other form and looked at Kohaku. "Why don't you break free from him Kohaku you know how he is , you know what he will do if that jewel is completed." Sesshoumaru says to him.
"I didn't make that deal with him, Keski did, I am surprised you're still here and not off running after him like always, to be honest I don't care what happens to Keski but he is Naraku's obsession, she's not the true heir all this time your family was worried about Akito when the one they should be worrying about is my son." Kohaku tells him.
Sesshoumaru chuckled and said, "Naraku's already claimed Akito as the heir, Kohaku. You should know this, he must talk about it constantly."
Kohaku glared daggers at Sesshoumaru. "Shut up, she's nothing she shouldn't be alive, Naraku was mine till Keski came back to life!" he yelled.
Byakuya glared at Sesshoumaru, Naraku was not going to be pleased when he heard this. "Kagura take Hakudoshi and Miroku now." he tells her.
Hakudoshi was surprised at his mother's words. "Mom, that's my sister!" he said, tugging on his hand. Kohaku ignored him and when Byakuya told Kagura to take Hakudoshi and Miroku Hakudoshi said, "I'm staying here!"
"No you're not," Kohaku said, looking down at his son. "Go with them. I'll be right behind you," he added.
Kagura pulled out her feather and placed Hakudoshi and Miroku on it and left. Kagome looked at Akito and hugged her. "Don't listen to him baby one thing I do know is your father loves you." she says to Akito.
Naraku felt a disturbance back where Sesshoumaru was he looked at Keski and grabbed him ignoring his protest as he made it back to the field. "What is going on here?!" Naraku growled. "Ask your mate he went off on your daughter." Rin says to him as she looks at Kohaku who was being held back by Byakuya
"Kohaku, what is happening?" Naraku growled, looking at his mate.
Kohaku slowly turned to Naraku. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt her feelings, it's just you weren't coming back and I said some things I shouldn't have said about her or Keski." Naraku pushed Keski over to Akito and stalked over to Kohaku.
Byakuya moved out the way."What did you spill from that jealous mouth of yours?" Naraku growled at him.
" I told her she was nothing and Hakudoshi was the true heir." he says.
Naraku growled low in his chest and looked at Akito. "Akito, you are my heir. Not your brother," he said, glaring over at Kohaku as he spoke. "You are everything to me. You and your mother," he added. Keski had run over to his daughter and she was now in his arms, though staring over at her true daddy as he spoke to her.
"I'm sorry." Kohaku whispered as he held his head down, he had manged to stay on Naraku's good side for the past years now he wasn't, he stepped back from Naraku and hid behind Byakuya.
"Sesshoumaru I will be back for my family next time the fight it will be between me and you, Naraku then walked over to Akito and smiled at her. "When you were little all you wanted to do was be in my arms. you and I will spend time together." he tells her and kisses her on her cheek.
Naraku then looked at Keski and ran his fingers down his cheek. "And I hope that you will return to me," he whispered as he leaned in and kissed Keski's forehead. Keski squeezed his eyes shut until Naraku pulled back and walked back over to Byakuya. "Let's go," he said.
"Yes master." Byakuya says and forms his paper crane as Kohaku stays glued to the back of his kimono Naraku looked at Keski one more time before he left with Kohaku.
"Keski what happened?" Sesshoumaru asks him.
"Not now Sesshoumaru I want to get her home." he says.
" Mommy wait I have to get the flowers I dropped them when father came." she says to Keski and runs over to where she dropped the flowers.
"I feel bad for Kohaku , Naraku looked like he was ready to kill him." Kagome says.
"It was his own fault. He should have kept his mouth shut," Rin said, crossing her arms over her chest as she walked ahead with Keski, who was now smiling at Akito and thanking her for the pretty flowers.
"She's becoming more and more like you every day," Kagome said as she and Sesshoumaru walked together.
"You think so, she's the one good thing Naraku and I did." Keski says.
"We don't want a visual on that." Sesshoumaru says to him.
Akito skipped ahead without a worry in the world now,Rin walked ahead of the adults to catch up with Akito while she held Soran in her arms.
"Thank you Sesshoumaru and Kagome for keeping her safe while I kept Naraku busy." Keski tells them.
Kagome smiled and wrapped an arm around Keski's shoulders as she said, "It's our pleasure, Keski. Akito's like a daughter to us, too."
"Well how about you two enjoy yourself tonight, I'll keep an eye on the girls and Soran, knowing Akito she'll be by my side more since seeing her real father." Keski tells them. Before Kagome could object Sesshoumaru said." Thanks Keski I need some alone time with Kagome." he says to him. "Just don't make any more babies." Rin yells out.
Mira was sitting in her garden when she was assaulted by a gust of wind so strong it knocked her off her bench. "What is this?!" she asked .
"Hello mother a deep voice said as a young male with bluish silver hair a red moon with a blue star on his forehead stood over her he looked like Sesshoumaru except his clothes were black and he had a red pelt.
Mira's eyes widened slightly as she stood up. "What are you doing here, Mamoru?" she growled, glaring at her son.
