Naraku looked at Kelly as silence dominated the whole area. Her tears were falling but she kept her gaze locked to his.

"I am pregnant." She repeated in what seemed like a whisper. Naraku went to his window that had a magnificent view. He stood there, his face showing no emotions at all. Kelly stayed still for what seemed like hours before she took a deep breath.

"And it is your child."

Her sentence didn't seem to affect him much as he kept staring at the window. She felt agony deep inside her heart. She felt like if as her world has just collapsed. She wanted to go to him, to inhale his scent, to wrap her hands around his neck, whispering her eternal love to him but he was so cold, so distant. How was she able to love someone as cruel as him? How was she so naïve, so gullible? She put her hand on her stomach, she would pay for that fault, and she just knew she would.

"I don't want this thing you are carrying."

Kelly's eyes went wide in horror. His words were like a knife that cut her into two. She wanted to respond but he didn't let her. Without even bothering to turn around, to look into her eyes he continued his most cruel words.

"I will not take him as mine. I have told you that I didn't want any commitment with you."

"But…but he is yours." She sobbed, not able to restrain herself from whimpering as she collapsed on the floor. Naraku didn't move. He simply sighed.

"I don't want him. Go the hell out of my sight. Even you go to abortion and get rid of that shame growing inside of you or never return. I will exclude you from any assignment I ever gave you, you will not be in my service anymore and I will not see you as long as this child is alive. I hate you both, I hate you and my hate is growing as fast as it began."

Kelly shook her head desperately, putting her hands around her stomach.

"Never! I will never get rid of him, he is ours, he is the symbol of our love, and I love him."

"Then…"

He turned, looking at her with cold eyes.

"You are fired from my company. You have no right to enter any property that holds my name. You will not approach me or anything related to me. If you ever say to anyone that this thing is my child I will have you both killed within a second. I will not hear your name and I will not interfere in your business as long as you don't interfere in mine."

Kelly was by now at the verge of desperation.

"But Naraku, I…I…lo…ve…"

"Shut up." He replied dryly. "Now, get the hell out of here. I don't know you. Kill the child or never even reconsider addressing me."

Kelly's tears suddenly dried. She got on her feet and looked at him, hate in her eyes. Naraku didn't seem to be impressed as he returned her look with a similar one.

"I will keep my child. I know by now that he is only mine. You are not his father anymore." She said with a very deep voice. "You have lost the right to claim him as yours when you wished his death so hungrily. Don't worry Naraku, I can manage myself without you."

"I am glad to know that. Now go before I decide to kill you for your arrogance."

She went to the door, closely followed by him. She opened it and went to the other side but before closing it she looked at him with determination on her features.

"I hate you as much as I loved you."

And she closed the door. Naraku, now aware that she was finally gone looked at the door, his eyes softening. He rested his head on the wall and closed his eyes.

"Did you really love me Kelly?" He asked in a whisper but regained his cold expression when his cell phone rang. He took it and immediately recognized Chris' number.

"What do you want?" Naraku asked as soon as he flipped his cell phone open. Chris chuckled on the other line.

"Is it a bad time to call?" He asked, amused.

"No Chris, but do you have a reason for this call?"

"Yes, I wanted to know what will happen to our plan?"

"Kelly will not be able to seduce Taisho anymore so we will have to focus on a new target."

"And who might that be?"

"You know, your old friend," answered Naraku while smiling. Chris smiled as well.

"I see, Sesshumaru Taisho is one of my favorite characters in this plane, but I must tell you that he is all but easy to deceive. He cannot be fascinated by a girl's charms."

"No, but he can be fascinated by yours."

"What do you mean?" asked Chris, a little confused. Naraku laughed to the angels before answering.

"How idiot you are Chris. Sesshumaru Taisho considers you as his best friend if not to say his only friend so; I was thinking that a friendship as yours should not be wasted."

"I still don't get your point Naraku."

"Chris, should I really spell it out?"

Naraku went again to his living room and poured a drink before continuing.

"I want you to go to Sesshumaru and tell him how sorry you were to leave his side. Tell him that you made a huge mistake and that you desperately need to be his friend again. Lie to him, say that you miss how things were, how you told each other secrets about girls and whatever."

"As if he will trust me."

"Here comes your turn to persuade him into trusting you enough. When you are in the inside, we shall take over the company."

"I think it will not work."

Naraku took a zip of his drink.

"Oh Chris, you know how to play minds but you certainly don't know how to play emotions. Just give him the time to believe you."

"I will try my best."

Naraku was satisfied as he hung up. He went to his bedroom to claim some sleep. He rested on the bed and looked at the ceiling. Kelly was back to his mind.

"Damn her." He cursed as he went to his desk. If he would not be able to sleep then he will work to forget how miserable his life was.

"It is not you who I hate Kelly…"he said as he opened the documents. "It is I."


It was Sunday's morning when Inuyasha pulled his black Porsches on the other side of Kagome's house. He looked at her, smiling tenderly.

"Here you are love." He said as he caressed her cheek. Kagome bit her lip.

"Inuyasha, I know that you are a little bit mad about me but it is just that my mother will not approve our relationship. She only comes here at the weekend and will spend the whole week in the main company, and then we will be freely together."

Inuyasha nodded, taking in the depth of her blue eyes.

"I don't like us to be in hotels Kagome, running away from your mother, I want to say to the whole world that I love you! I don't want us to hide like thieves. I love you."

Kagome looked at him, tears in her eyes.

"Oh, I love you too!" she cried as she threw herself into his welcoming arms. They held each other tightly before Inuyasha broke up the hug.

"If you don't go now mon amour, I will not be able to let you go."

Kagome planted a sweet kiss on his lips before getting out of the car. Inuyasha drove away as Kagome went into her house. She found her mother in the kitchen.

"Hey mum."

"Oh, Kagome, how was your night?"

Kagome fought the urge to blush as she remembered her passionate lovemaking with Inuyasha.

"Fine, we had fun."

"That's good." Her mother replied. "Oh, and I will be leaving tonight but as usual I will return Friday okay?"

"Mr. Taisho is very generous to let you travel between here and the main company on his expense."

"He just understands my need to be with you in my weekends." Anne answered before kissing Kagome's forehead and leaving to her room where she had established her desk. Kagome shook her head while she grabbed the sandwich her mom has prepared. She was starving. Her cell phone suddenly pipped and she smiled while reading the incoming message: 'Is it normal to miss you already my love? Inuyasha.'

She bit her lip, her face a little bit flushed before replying.


Sesshumaru woke up as the sun's ray came and washed his face. He yawned and looked at his watch then placed his head between his hands.

"Great, I spent the night in my office. How charming is it." He mocked before getting up. He stretched.

"Nothing is worse than a Sunday day. It is a day off for everyone except me."

He paced his office, thinking about his conversation with Rin.

"That is the least thing that I expected. Her coming into my office after what happened between us, the nerves of this girl. I just don't want her to be mad; she tends to be stupid sometimes."

He suddenly grabbed his cell phone and entered Rin's number. He waited until her sleepy voice came on the other line.

"Yes?"

"It is I."

"Sesshuamru?" She asked, fully awaken.

"Yes, I need to talk to you."

"What do you want?"

"I want to correct the way we talked yesterday. Come on Rin, we can be friends can't we?"

Silence stretched as Sesshumaru waited her answer. He really didn't need more drama in his life. He wanted Rin as a friend, nothing more, at least not for now.

"I thought that I have told you everything yesterday Taisho. You and I will never be friends. Friendship doesn't exist between us. You refused me and I decided to move on so stop calling me so early if you don't have anything else to tell me."

Sesshumaru wanted to counter but he heard his office door open. He turned around and gasped.

"Oh my God!" He finally said, making Rin get suspicious.

"What is Sesshumaru?"

He didn't hear her anymore as he look at the beautiful girl standing in front of him.

"Kagura? Is that really you?" He asked as he shut his cell phone and went towards the girl.

"Long time, no see Sesshy." She said as she chewed her lips.

"Is that really you? You came back from Europe?"

"Oh yes." She said in a happy voice. "I came back. I have wondered everywhere, Paris, London, Rome…but I missed home, and the people here."

She looked at him.

"How did you know where to find me Kagura?"

"Well, I went to your house and everyone there told me that you were probably in a certain office so I thought, why would Sesshy spend the night in an office unless…"

He looked at her, confused.

"Unless?" he continued moving towards her.

"Unless he is really sad and doesn't want to admit it."

"You can read through me can't you girl?"

"Hell yes." She said as she kissed him lightly on his lips. "I missed you." She whispered. He simply smiled.

"We have a lot of catch up to do Kagura. Please, have a seat."


Rin was still looking at her cell phone.

"Who the hell is Kagura?" She finally shouted, throwing her cell phone on the wall, shattering it to pieces. "I hate him, I hate him, oh my god I hate him, the bastard, the jerk, he is playing me, playing my emotions. I will show him, I will show him that a girl like me can get any guy she wants. He will be begging me to go back to him, he will want me with all his heart and I will deny him the right to claim him."

She suddenly stopped yelling when her door opened and a sleepy Chris looked at her. She was panting. He then looked at her smashed cell phone.

"What the hell just happened, Rin? Why did you just break your 700$ cell phone?"

"Do you know by chance any woman named Kagura."

"Of course I do. She was Sesshumaru's high school crush and one of the sexiest women I have ever met. Why?"

"Great." She pouted as she hid her face in her pillow.
