Midoriko was still in shock that Sesshoumaru had just taken a piece of her soul."What do you want from us, why are you doing this?" she whispered. "
"You should've stayed out of this you didn't think I smelt Naraku on you?!" he said and laughed.
"You have no right to use Kagome for your own twisted pleasure, I know you raped her!, I know she fears you." Midoriko. said to him.
"Well, she'll be afraid of me for the rest of her life," Sesshoumaru said, smirking. Midoriko glared at him, her hands forming into fists.
"I will never let you get a hold of her again," she vowed as the waiter started to walk towards them. She quickly put a smile on and ordered her meal, and Sesshoumaru did the same, but he didn't have to force the smirk on his face. As soon as the waiter left, Midoriko looked at Sesshoumaru again. "Why would you want a child like her anyway?" She asked.
"She isn't a child, for years I have watched her come to the office dressing in al those skimpy outfits, and now she is having sex with her own father, I wonder how Kagome's mom would feel if she knew about her daughter and ex husband sleeping together." Sesshoumaru told her.
Midoriko looked down at the table and you forget I have a piece of Kagome's soul." Sesshoumaru told her. "I will get it back!" she told him."Good luck trying." Sesshoumaru told her and took Kagome's soul out and squeezed it
Kagome felt the pain and screamed, putting her hand to her chest. "Kagome, what's wrong!?" Naraku yelled, running into the room. "Sesshoumaru's... squeezing my... soul," she panted, falling to the floor and landing on her knees. Naraku was at her side in a second, kneeling down net to her. "You'll be ok, I promise," Naraku said, trying to soothe her as he took her into his arms. She whimpered as the pain continued.
"Stop it!" Midoriko yelled at him, take me instead." Midoriko said. "I am not interested in old Miko's." Sesshoumaru told her as he stopped squeezing Kagome's soul and put it back in his jacket pocket.
Kagome took her hand off her chest and looked at Naraku. "He's stooped now" Kagome told him as she slowly sat up and touched Naraku's face.
Naraku rested his forehead against hers, sighing in relief. She finally got her breathing under control a few minutes later, and stood up, Naraku helping her to the couch and laying her down. "Try to sleep," he said, stroking her hair. She nodded, closing her eyes, her breathing evening out. Naraku walked back into the kitchen where Muso was. "She's asleep now," he said.
"This is so crazy I can't believe this is happening, I hope Midriko is doing better." Muso said to his brother.
"I hope so." Naraku tells him. "Maybe you should tell Mia what's going on." Muso told him.
"I don't even know if she would believe me." Naraku tells him "I mean Mia is so wrapped up in Sesshoumaru she'll believe anything he says." Naraku told him.
Midoriko looked at at the the rest of the people in the restaurant. "What happens to Kagome?" she asked Sesshoumaru.
"I'll keep using her until I've had enough. And I haven't really thought too far after that," Sesshoumaru said. Midoriko looked down at the table, hoping that Kagome was doing all right. The waiter walked over and she quickly made herself look happy as he set her food down in front of her. "Thank you," she said, smiling up at him. He nodded and set Sesshoumaru's down in front of him as well, getting a nod. The waiter walked to another table, leaving them alone again.
Midoriko sipped her water and looked up at Sesshoumaru."May I ask a question?" she asked him.
"What is it?" Sesshoumaru asked her as he folded his hands
"How are you able to take souls from Mikos and how many have you taken?" Midoriko asked him
Sesshoumaru sat back and smirked. "Many, too many to count." He told her he was very proud of himself.
"Are they still alive?" she asked him.
"Of course they're , I am really surprised though that you've never felt my power Midriko, truth is I knew about you for a long time I just have been waiting for the right moment to get you in my grasp and now I have you, and you will help me get Kagome back or next time it will be your soul I squeeze and you will make yourself available to me at all times day and night." Sesshoumaru told her.
Midoriko's eyes widened in shock. "I will not!" she whispered angrily, not wanting anyone to hear her. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow and took out the blue orb that was the part of her soul. "Would you like me to squeeze it right here?" He asked, tightening his grip a fraction.
Midoriko felt the pain start to swell in her chest. "Stop, please," she whispered, bowing her head in defeat. "Good girl," Sesshoumaru replied, placing the orb back into his pocket. "Finish your meal before it gets cold," he said, not even looking at her as he continued with his.
She nodded and started eating, forcing back the tears that threatened to form in her eyes
Midoriko finished her meal and pushed her plate aside and looked up at Sesshoumaru. "How can you sleep at night next to her mother and do this?" She asked him.
"I believe you asked me that earlier but I will tell you this and don't ask me again. Mia is a dumb human , how Kagome has miko powers is beyond me, but she does, and Mia is fun to toy with I can make Mia hate Kagome in an instant, Mia in a love sick human she wants another child, personally I rather have an pup by Kagome, Naraku isn't stupid enough to get Kagome pregnant." Sesshoumaru told her so you see it's easy for me to sleep with Mia, is just a pawn in all of this." he tells her
"But how can you do it? It's terrible," Midoriko said.
"It's simple. I use Mia to get to Kagome. That's all," Sesshoumaru said, giving her a look that said to drop the subject, so she did. He paid for the lunch and stood up, saying, "Come on, we're heading back to the office." She nodded and stood up, walking in front of him as he indicated. She kept a good distance from him, letting only one tear slide down her cheek. 'I'm sorry, Kagome.' She thought as they headed to the car.
Sesshoumaru opened the car passenger door for her, Midoriko got in and sat down and put her seat belt on, Sesshoumaru closed the door and got in on the driver's side and started up the car. Midorkio's cell phone went off she jumped when she heard it." H..hello?" she said in a shaky voice.
"Hey Midoriko it's Muso where are you?" he asked her.
"Muso, I , um I was having lunch with my boss now we're on our way back to work."she told him as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I see, you okay you don't sound good." he said to her.
Midoriko looked over a Sesshoumaru. "I'm okay she told Muso.
"Alright. Let me know if anything's wrong," Muso said soothingly.
"I will." she said, hanging up. She looked out her window, not wanting to look at Sesshoumaru. "That was a good choice, Midoriko," he said, smirking. All she did was nod, not letting any more tears fall from her already red eyes. 'Muso, I hate lying to you.' she thought, picturing his smiling face in the window.
Sesshoumaru arrived back at the office , Midoriko got out the car and walked toward the elevator not waiting for Sesshoumaru and she pushed the button . Sesshoumaru got out the car and walked up behind her. "Next time you wait for me or I will punish you." he growled in her ear.
"Get away from me , I am not going to be one of your sex toys!' she said as she turned to look at him her blue eyes blazing up at Sesshoumaru's golden ones
He pushed her up against the elevator door. "You already agreed to that at the restaurant, my dear Miko. You have no choice. Plus," he said, pulling out both orbs, "I have not only your soul, but Kagome's as well." he added, replacing them in his pocket.
Midoriko moved to her right, getting out of Sesshoumaru's grip as the elevator doors opened. She stepped inside and pressed the button, not caring if the door closed on Sesshoumaru or not.
Sesshoumaru growled he didn't really need to take the elevator but he squeezed Midoriko's soul to let her know he wasn't playing around, he vanished from the garage and and reappeared on his floor and stood by the elevator door waiting for Midoriko to arrive. Midoriko bit her lip to distract herself from the pain, the doors open and she gasp seeing Sesshoumaru and steps off the elevator. "I really hate you, and I never agreed to sleep with you!" she said loud enough for Sesshoumaru to hear.
"You did when you resigned at the restaurant, bowing your head to the table," Sesshoumaru purred, only for her to hear. She glared at him before walking past him, towards her office. 'I will absolutely not sleep with him!' she thought, still walking.
Sesshoumaru walked to his office and there was a surprise waiting for him. "Mia what are you doing here?" He asked her as he walked over to his seat not even kissing her..
"Well hello to you too, I just wanted to see you, are you not happy to see me?"she asked him. "Of course I am." he lied, It's just that I am busy that's all , Kagura should have called me." he said to her, "By the way Naraku came and picked Kagome up s he wasn't feeling well." he tells her
: "Oh, alright. I'll go get her later," Mia said. Sesshoumaru nodded as he turned on his computer. Mia stood up and walked over to his side of the desk, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Are you sure you're ok?" She asked, starting to massage his shoulders.
"I'm fine. Just busy, like I said," Sesshoumaru replied, not looking from his screen. She nodded and kissed him on the cheek. "Then I'll head home and let you concentrate on working. And by the time you get home, me and Kagome will have dinner ready, ok?" Mia said.
"Alright. I'll see you tonight," Sesshoumaru said. Mia nodded and left the office, closing the door behind her.
Midoriko walked out her office seeing Mia, and stopped she finally saw the woman that Naraku had dumped her for. She walked pass Mia and knocked on Sesshoumaru's door and walked in without knocking. Sesshoumaru looked up seeing the beautiful miko."Close the door." Sesshoumaru told her.
"I just saw Kagome's mother tell me Sesshoumaru how do you plan to have this so called affair with me when I live close to Muso?" she asked him
. Mia called Naraku on her cell phone." Hello?" Naraku said.
"Naraku where are you I called the house and you didn't answer I need to pick up Kagome." she tells him.
"Mia, Kagome is staying with me she's not well and I don't want her around Sesshoumaru!" he yelled in the phone.
"Well, I told Sesshoumaru that she would be there when he came home for dinner. She's helping me make the meal," Mia said, walking off of the elevator and over to her car, taking out her keys. She unlocked the door and got in, closing it and re-locking the door, and turning on the engine. "Well, you'll just have to do it yourself, because Kagome is staying with me," Naraku replied, glaring at the wall. "Well, I'm going to bring her home with me. Where are you?" Mia repeated angrily.
"What part of Kagome is staying with me don't you understand!?" he yelled at her She isn't coming she's not well, you want to see her you can come tomorrow I'am not telling you where I am because you're not welcome!" Naraku told her and hung up the phone and went to check on Kagome. She was still sleeping peacefully. he bent down and kissed her on her forehead. Mia screamed in anger as she drove Sesshoumaru's home.
"Midoriko I can take you in my office that's not a problem for me." Sesshoumaru told her. "You're such a pig!" she yelled at him.
Before she knew it, Sesshoumaru was in front of her, one of his hands on the right side of her head and the other locking the door. Midoriko tried to get to the lock, but Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist. He dragged her with him and pressed the button to Kagura's desk.
"Yes, Mr. Taisho?" She said, sighing.
"Kagura, I don't want anyone bothering me until I tell you it's alright, got it?" Sesshoumaru said, giving Midoriko a warning look. "Yes, Sesshoumaru, whatever you say," she replied sarcastically, ending the conversation.
"See how easy that was?" Sesshoumaru asked her as he bent his head down and kissed her on her neck. Midoriko whimpered as he kissed her his hands moving to her waist he picked her up and sat her on the desk and sat her down on the edge of it.
"Please don't do this." Midoriko said as he continued to kiss her.
"Relax and enjoy it." Sesshoumaru told her.
"No..." she whispered, trying to resist. Sesshoumaru could feel that she knew it was impossible to stop him, and he pinned her arms to her sides. He continued his assault on her neck while she gripped the edge of the desk, trying hard not to cry. 'Muso...' she thought, his face appearing in her mind.
Midoriko moaned as Sesshoumaru ran his fangs along her neck., "Mmm, she said as he tilted her neck more giving him access."Sesshoumaru what are you doing to me?" she asked him as he moved his mouth to her full pouty lips and kissed her, Midoriko couldn't help but kiss him back and she hated herself for it.
: "I'm giving you a pleasure you will never forget," Sesshoumaru said after drawing away. He reached up and started unbuttoning her blouse.
Midoriko sucked in a sharp breath, Sesshoumaru's right hand inched, lower he ran his fingers along her inner thighs, "Sesshoumaru please stop this I can't cheat on Muso, I love him to much." She told him. Sesshoumaru paid her no mind as he moved his hand back up and removed her blouse. Since Midoriko's hands were free now she pushed Sesshoumaru away from her as her hair fell over her shoulder.
"What are you doing?!" Sesshoumaru growled at her, "Stop fighting me before I make it worse!" he told her
Midoriko got off of the desk and re-buttoned her blouse, glaring at Sesshoumaru. "I don't care, I will not do this," she said. straightening her clothes. She saw the look in Sesshoumaru's eyes and her own widened slightly, showing the fear she felt. She ran for the door, but Sesshoumaru had her down on the floor before she could take a step. He straddled her waist, holding her wrists on both sides of her head.
Sesshoumaru's free hand moved up Midoriko's skirt and he pulled her panties down he put his knee between her legs making her open her legs, She writhed under him trying to get him off of her, "Stop this!" She screamed at him She knew Kagura heard her as well as the other employees . "Sesshoumaru please , okay I'll do what you want just don't rape me." Midoriko pleaded with him.
: Sesshoumaru ignored her and spread her legs further, her skirt sliding upwards. He undid his own pants and readied himself at her entrance before harshly thrusting into her, making her whimper in pain. He pulled out and thrusted again, and Midoriko started to fight, wriggling under him, trying to get some type of leverage on him. He pinned her down tighter and continued, ignoring her pleas for him to stop.
: She had tears in her eyes as she looked up at him with her blue eyes. Her whole body was hurting she had never had this type of pain in her life the more he thrusted into her the more she cried out she turned her head to the side she couldn't look him in the face. Sesshoumaru finally came in side of her and pulled out and got up and fixed his clothes and walked back over to his desk where he opened the drawer he had some hand sanitize and cleaned his hands off and sat down. Leaving Midoriko crying on the floor
: He opened his files and started working. Midoriko curled into a ball, pulling her panties back up and pulling her skirt back down to it's original length. "Get up and get back to work," Sesshoumaru said, not looking at her.
She still laid there, shaking as she cried. "Midoriko, get up and get back to work, or do you want me to do that again?" Sesshoumaru growled. Midoriko finally stood and after making sure she was presentable, walked out of the office, slamming the door behind her. She headed to the bathroom, ashamed of herself. 'What am I going to tell Muso?' she thought, looking at herself in the mirror
Midoriko fixed her face and pulled her hair back after making sure her clothes were presentable she walked out the bathroom and went back to her office and finished up her work, she had just finished her last file when she looked at the time it was time to go home. Sesshoumaru walked out his office and down to Midoriko's to see her still sitting at her desk holding her cell phone."Time to go home." he said to her.
"I know, I'm leaving right now," she said, not looking at him. She stood up and grabbed her purse, slipping her phone inside. She quickly walked past him, feeling his gaze on her as he followed. She got to the elevator and pushed the down button. As she waited, she stared at the light that showed what floor the elevator was on, not looking at Sesshoumaru as he stood next to her.
: While she was in the elevator with him she pulled her car keys out and sighed. the elevator finally came to a stop the doors opened to the garage and Midoriko stepped off and walked quickly to her car she was in such a rush that she dropped her keys on the floor
Sesshoumaru walked over to her and bent down and picked them up holding them in his hand now. "Can I have my keys please?" she asked him
"What do I get in return, how do I know if I let you go home you won't tell Naraku what I have planned for Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked her
"I can't promise anything, Sesshoumaru. Kagome is his daughter, and Muso's niece. I won't promise anything," Midoriko said, reaching for her keys.
Sesshoumaru pulled them back, just out of her reach. "If you do tell them, I'll know. Then I'll kill you, Muso, and Naraku, then I'll have Kagome," Sesshoumaru said. Midoriko's eyes widened and he smirked, handing her his keys. "Have a nice drive," he sneered before walking to his own car.
"Bastard." Midoriko whispered as she unlocked her car door and got in and started the car and drove off toward home, she couldn't tell Muso now, Sesshoumaru would kill them all and that would put Kagome at his mercy. Kagome finally woke up and yawned. "Mmm I feel so much better." she said as she sat up on the couch looking around.
"Hey feeling better?" Muso asked her
"Yeah, thank you," she replied, smiling. She looked around and asked, "Where's Dad?" She asked. "I told him to go upstairs and get some sleep. He needed the rest," Muso said. Kagome nodded, standing up and walking into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
"You know Kagome your father told me about your relationship." Muso said as he walked in the kitchen behind her.
"Oh he did, I don't know why I became attracted to him but I am not sorry that I love him I just wish Sesshoumaru would leave us alone. than my mom she would never believe me." She tells him
"I know," Muso said, leaning against a wall.
Kagome sipped at her water and said, "You won't tell anyone, will you? It's bad enough that Sesshoumaru knows."
Muso shook his head and said, "I'm not going to say anything. It's not for me to tell."
"If we did tell, Dad would get arrested for child abuse or something like that," Kagome said, refilling her glass.
: "Thank you." Kagome said to him before taking a sip from her glass.
Midoriko finally got home and parked the car and took her key and opened the front door. "I'm home." Midoriko said trying to sound cheerful. Muso heard her and walked into the living room. "Hey how was your first day?" Muso asked her.
"It was fine," Midoriko said, forcing a smile on her face. Muso didn't notice as he kissed her on the lips. Kagome walked out of the kitchen and smiled. "Hi Kagome," Midoriko said, looking at the girl. "Hello," Kagome replied, walking over and giving the woman a hug.
"Kagome, why don't you go wake Naraku please and tell him Midoriko's home," Muso said. Kagome nodded and walked upstairs to Muso's and Midoriko's room, walking in quietly to see Naraku lightly snoring on the bed, laying on his side. She smiled as she walked over.
"Did you start dinner yet?" Midoriko asked him
. "No I was about to." Muso tells her. Kagome sat down on the bed and pushes a loose strand of hair out of his face and kissed him on the cheek. "Wake up." Kagome said softly as she lightly shook him. Naraku slowly opened his eyes and saw Kagome. "Kagome." Naraku said to her as he sat up in the bed.
"Hey, sleepy," she said, kissing him on the lips.
"Is everything ok?" Naraku asked, holding her close.
"Yes, everything's fine. Muso just wanted me to come tell you that Midoriko is home," Kagome said, wrapping her arms around his waist. He nodded and kissed the top of her head. "I'm sorry about earlier," Kagome whispered, referring to the pain in her chest.
"It wasn't your fault, Kagome. Sesshoumaru had no right to do that," Naraku said sternly, letting her know it wasn't her fault. "I know, but still..." Kagome said
"Come on let's go downstairs." Naraku said to her and got out the bed, Kagome took her hand in his and went downstairs to see what Midoriko had found out. "Hey Midoriko." Naraku said to her.
"Oh hey Naraku , I already won Sesshoumaru over he's made me his assistant." Midoriko told him as she sat down on the sofa.
"That's good, but be careful," Naraku said, sitting down on the other couch, pulling Kagome onto his lap. She smiled at him. He smiled before looking back at Midoriko. "Did you find out anything? Did anything happen?" He asked.
'Should I tell him after all?' Midoriko thought, forcing herself not to let them know she was nervous.
"No nothing important except your ex showed up and he took me to lunch." Midoriko told Naraku and Muso, "Other than that it was nothing special." She said to him and walked into the kitchen to start dinner.
Kagome got up off of Naraku's lap and followed Midoriko into the kitchen. "Hey is everything okay?" she asked her
: "Yeah," Midoriko said, not looking at her. "He got yours too, didn't he," Kagome said, and she didn't say it as a question. Midoriko stopped moving, and she could feel her hands start to shake. Kagome walked over to her and wrapped her arms around her. "It's ok, you can tell me anything, Midoriko," she said, rubbing the older woman's back.
"I, he said if I tell Naraku or Muso he'll kill all of us leaving you at his mercy." Midoriko told him and turned around to hug Kagome. "He has a piece of my soul now too, I don't know how to help you Kagome but I am not giving up." Midoriko told her and hugged her back.
"I know you aren't, and neither is Dad or Muso. And he only told you that to scare you. He said the same to me about telling Dad he raped me, but I told him anyway," Kagome said, drawing away after a few minutes.
"But it's your choice on whether or not you want to tell Muso or Dad. I won't tell them for you unless you want me to," Kagome said, smiling reassuringly. Midoriko nodded and calmed herself, willing her hands not to shake.
Midoriko smiled at Kagome, "Maybe later for now I just want to try and relax I need a bath too, Do you mind making dinner. I just need to get his scent off of me." she told her. "Sure go ahead I can whip something up." Kagome told her.
Midoriko smiled at her and walked out the kitchen. "Hey you two I',m going to take a bath , Kagome said she'd make dinner." Midoriko told Naraku and Muso and went upstairs.
Sesshoumaru arrived at home and walked inside. 'Kagome should be here.' He thought. Mia came out of the kitchen and said, "Welcome home!" "Hey. Where's Kagome?"
Sesshoumaru asked. "Naraku said she was staying with him tonight," Mia said angrily. Sesshoumaru growled, gripping his hand into a fist. "But that's ok, it can just be us tonight," Mia said, walking over and kissing him on the lips as he forced himself to calm down.
"Yeah just us,." Sesshoumaru said to her and walked over to the sofa and sat down, "Hey can you get me something to drink how about one of your famous smoothie." Sesshoumaru said to her.
"Okay, be back shortly." Mia told him and walked out the room and went into the kitchen. While Mia was in the kitchen Sesshoumaru pulled out Kagome and Midoriko's souls and looked at them holding them gently in his hand he gave each soul a squeeze before putting it back in his pocket.
Both girls felt the slight pain in their chests, each one grabbing their own. 'Sesshoumaru.' they thought before continuing their activities. Kagome finished making dinner just as Midoriko came down the stairs. "Dinner's ready!" she called from the kitchen as she finished setting the table. Everyone walked in and sat down, hoping for a nice dinner.
