Chapter 22
It was an ominous day at best. Valérie was close to her due date and Aurora wasn't that far off. The dogs' mates had both been confined to their homes by request of their mates. It was another quiet day for Aurora. Aurora growled as she was forced to be confined to bed. She hissed in anger and boredom. She tried to keep herself busy but it didn't help.
"How dare that dog leave me here bored out of my fucking mind?" Aurora yelled and laid down on the bed.
"Hmm then perhaps I shall help you with that..." A deep voice purred in her ear and all the lights shut off in her house. Roscoe could be heard barking like crazy outside. Aurora stiffened and used her magic to make a ball of light.
"Whose there!?" She yelled and froze at the face above her. "You're supposed to be dead."
Naraku smirked as he hovered over her his darkness overpowering her. "Yes it seems you and your mutt and my whore of a daughter didn't try hard enough."
Aurora shuddered and stared at him. "Just as dark as ever." She moans lowly and shook her head to clear it. "What do you want Naraku?"
He laughed loudly and ominously. "Well what was taken from me of course."
She thought about it for a second. "Naraku I was never yours...perhaps I would be if you found me before Touga." She moved a bit away and cast a spell to hide her protruding stomach.
"Ahh so you're pregnant with the mutts' child...no matter." He flashed away from her sight and appeared behind. He hit her in the neck specially to knock her out. "And now Aurora, you shall be mine..." He picked her up. "Tsubaki come forth."
Tsubaki came out and chuckles. "Foolish girl as she was as always. How can I help you Naraku?" She stepped out of the shadows.
"I believe my daughter will be giving birth soon...I need some time with Aurora before the dogs come looking for her. Speed it up somehow. Keep them all busy." He smirked evilly.
"Will do." Tsubaki smirks and vanishes without a trace of her presence. Naraku smirked as he looked at the passed out Aurora. He looked at the mate Mark on her neck and he cut it breaking the bond. He left her home quickly.
-Meanwhile-
Touga was sitting in his office typing when he was suddenly overtaken with rage. His eyes turned red and he growled. 'Aurora!' His mind raged as he left his office quickly and went to his mate's home. He didn't find her and heard barking. 'Where is she!?" He growled at Roscoe. Roscoe barked and whimpered at Touga.
'House went dark then man that smelt of darkness came.' He whined and looked down.
"Darkness...but that's...it can't be he is dead..." Touga sniffed the air and it only further confirmed his suspicions.
'Dammit you old dog you shouldn't have left her alone!' He yelled inwardly at himself.
-Meanwhile-
Aurora groaned as she woke up. She moved her hand but found she couldn't and it was chained to a...bedpost. She looked around and narrowed her eyes. "Let me go Naraku." She said in the air knowing he could hear her.
Naraku smirked. "Now why would I let my mate go?"
Aurora shivered and she suddenly couldn't feel Touga's presence anymore. He destroyed her bond with Touga. "I'm not your mate." She gritted her teeth. "Let me go Naraku."
Naraku smirked as he sauntered over to her and he bit her neck where his mate Mark was on her neck now. "You're mine now Aurora. I'm going to have fun breaking you."
'N-no.' Aurora thought and moved her head. "You will never break me Naraku." She spat at him.
"We shall see about that.." He smirked. "How about I make you moan again? Except this time you'll be awake for it."
She glared at him. "You will never make me moan. You won't hold a candle to Touga who's my mate not you." She closed her mouth and kept silent.
"Oh really because my mark on your neck says otherwise." He smirked and came closer to her. Aurora looked away from him. She wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of her eyes on him. Naraku smirked as he took Aurora again and again until he was exhausted.
Aurora laid there silently and had tears in her eyes. 'Touga...help me.' She thought.
'Don't worry mommy daddy will be here.' Says a sweet voice in her head and she nodded mentally.
-Meanwhile-
Valérie was walking to work. She was close to having little Toshiro now. 'I blew the whole thing with Sessh out of proportion.' She thought as she took the elevator. 'I need to make it up to him and let him know I'm not mad.'
Sesshomaru was busy typing, signing paper and filing. He was very much stressed. He had planned to propose to Valérie his mate tonight but had to rush to the office. He growled lowly as he heard his door open. It was his new temporary secretary Aya.
"What do you want? I am busy." Sesshomaru said coldly causing Aya to freeze. She approached Sesshomaru and stood in front of him.
"It's what I can do for you Mr. Taisho." Aya purred.
Sesshomaru growled. 'How dare this slut try to make advances on me.' He thought.
"If you value your career you will get away from me and pack your things." He glared at her hatefully.
"But Mr. Taisho, I only want to help." Aya forced a kiss on Sesshomaru.
Valérie saw her kiss him and she was gone. Tears streaming down her face as she ran back to her condominium. Sesshomaru sneered and grabbed Aya by the throat and pushed her away. "LEAVE!" he growled loudly.
'He's cheating on me...' Val on the other hand stood against the wall and broke down with her tears. Toshiro kicking violently in her stomach causing her to wince in pain. Her phone started to ring.
"Touga not now." She said into the phone crying.
"Aurora's gone and but that's not the bad part. Naraku is alive somehow and took her." Touga said from the other side of the phone. He was becoming worried. "Why are you crying" A statement not a question She was so distraught she almost didn't hear his first statement.
"Your sons an asshole and is cheating on me with my repl- wait what do you mean Auroras missing?" She had her hand on her chest and her heart was racing.
"Sesshomaru wouldn't do that, goes against what we believe in. And Aurora's gone...taken by Naraku." Touga's voice was wavering and he made a tight fist.
"Touga that's not possible. He's dead my father's dead." She was shaking out of fear and she blinked. "Shit my water broke. Touga I got to go." She hung up and she went to the hospital. They took her into a room immediately.
"Ms. Valérie we need to give you an epidural and it seems the baby is breached. We will need to have an emergency c section. Nurse please give her the epidural." The doctor said and Valérie kept crying as she sat up and exposed her back to the nurse who she had no idea was actually Tsubaki.
'I can't believe I'm going to give birth alone...Auroras gone and my bastard father is alive.' She thought and cried some more. Behind Valérie Tsubaki smirked and silently made the curse on Valérie's back.
"Should we call her family?" She said in fake concern.
The doctor nodded. "Call them." He said and went to work quickly wanting to save both lives.
Tsubaki smirked to herself and walks out of the room and into the hallway. "Hello is this Sesshomaru."
"Yes who is this?" He asked curiously.
"A nurse at the hospital. We found your number in Ms. Valérie's cellphone and thought you were someone important to her. The reason I'm calling is because she is in need of having an emergency c-section." Tsubaki said into the phone as she looks at her nails.
Sesshomaru blinked. 'The pup's coming.' He thought and nodded his head. "Understood I am on my way." He hung up and left in a hurry. Valérie stayed calm as they began the c-section.
'Why is my back starting to hurt?' She wondered and she was breathing heavy.
"We see him Ms. Valérie it won't be much longer now." The doctor said. She could feel the doctors pull the baby out.
"It's a boy Ms. Valérie." Valérie sat up and she smiled at Toshiro. 'He looks so much like his father...' She blinked. "Why isn't he crying?" She was worried.
"Stress perhaps. He'll need to be in NICU ma'am." The doctor said as he cleaned and cleared his airway and the umbilical cord. A different nurse came and gently placed infant Toshiro in an incubator to help him breathe. Valérie cried as she watched them wheel him away.
'No my baby!' She thought and cried and her breathing became shallow. 'My scar it hurts...' Her vision started to fade.
"Doctor we're losing the patient." A nurse said and it wasn't much longer until Valéries heart stopped altogether. Tsubaki smirked and she left. The smirk never leaving her face. "Your daughter is incapacitated Naraku." She said into her phone as she left the hospital.
"Excellent." Naraku says with a smirk. "Come back here. I have another task for you." He hangs up and got on top of Aurora. Aurora laid still and refused to show any emotion.
-Meanwhile-
Sesshomaru felt the presence of his mate fade and ran to and into the hospital. Once he got there he sensed her presence again but it was weak. They quickly gave him her information and he went to Valérie. He saw them induced her coma. "Valérie." He says and looks down making a fist. He turns his head and saw the nurse takes his son to the NICU. "Son.."
"Excuse me Mr. Sesshomaru? I'm the Doctor that worked with Ms. Valérie. We don't know what's wrong it's like some unnatural force is taking her life away. Your son isn't doing well either. She maybe dead come morning but we have hope for your son." The doctor said dejected.
'Unnatural' Sesshomaru thought. He nodded to the doctors. "Need to call my brother." He turned his back and called Inuyasha.
"What?" Inuyasha grunted from the phone.
"Come to the hospital now, I need to your help in something unnatural." Sesshomaru mumbled and hung up. Inuyasha growled as he got dressed, kissed Tori and left and went quickly to the hospital. As he got there he saw Sesshomaru and got an explanation from him. Inuyasha scented the air and nodded. "That bitch Tsubaki." He whispered to Sesshomaru.
"Take care of it. I need to stay with Val and my son." Sesshomaru whispers and Inuyasha nodded. Inuyasha followed her scent quickly. He called his father.
"Dad that bitch Tsubaki did something to Valérie she's in a coma and Toshiro isn't doing well either."
Touga growled and punched a wall. "Kill the bitch Inuyasha. I'm trying to find Aurora! Naraku took her!" He raged in the phone
"Shit alright be careful dad." Inuyasha said and hung up and continued to follow Tsubaki's scent.
-Meanwhile-
Toshiro softly whined from the incubator as Sesshomaru was allowed to come back to see him.
Sesshomaru touched his son. "Shh it's okay my son, I'm here and soon your mother will be."
Touga went everywhere he knew of that Aurora might be but couldn't find her. He closes his eyes to stay to feel her.
'Touga...help me' was what he heard in his head and followed it. Touga ran quickly and he came up Naraku's company. 'The basement..' Touga killed the guards and came onto the service elevator. 'Her scents coming closer and clearer...I'm coming Aurora.'
Naraku sense the presence of Touga. "Seems it's time to kill your old dog...Tsubaki do what I have told you to do." He said and left. Tsubaki walked to her cousin. She injected her with a small drug and Auroras stomach doubled in size. "Well it seems Ms. Valérie will have a brother, it's a shame she'll be dead once the night is over with." She smirked.
Aurora whimpered and felt herself got bigger. 'N-no.' She thought. 'Touga please! Help me!' She mentally called out to him.
'Don't worry mommy, brother isn't going to be like that icky spider.' A sweet voice whispers.
Touga came down to the basement. He saw Aurora laying down in the corner and he ran to her. "What did he do to you?" He growled lowly.
"Mark gone...raped repeatedly...impregnating me." Aurora whispers into Touga's ear.
Naraku chuckled darkly. "And she was so good...tasted so good and I had a pleasurable time with her." His voice rang throughout the room.
"You're gonna die...and you will stay dead this time." Touga growled loudly as he charged at him.
-Meanwhile-
Inuyasha followed the scent to Naraku's company and smelled his father was here. He narrowed his eyes and saw Tsubaki leave with a smirk on her face. He followed her.
Tsubaki turned and faced Inuyasha once she got to an empty park. "Do you really think you can step to me half breed?" She smirked.
Inuyasha growled. "I'm going to kill you for what you've done bitch." He released his disguise and glared at the dark priestess.
"I dare you to try mutt." She smirked as her serpents swirled around her. Inuyasha yelled and charged after her.
