ch 25 Truth &Consequences
It had been a few weeks since Kagome had told Sesshoumaru that she was having his pup. truthfully, she thought he would had taken the news better than he had. She wondered how she was going to handle being pregnant and going back to school.
Kagome came down the steps to see, Shiori and Shippo getting ready to go to school. Shippo and Shiori 's uniforms were blue and white. "Kagome are you going to be here when we get home?" Shiori asked her as Sesshoumaru came in the kitchen.
"I should be Shi." Kagome said
"Ok, do you think that Alean will bring Hijiri over today?" Shiori asked her as she grabbed her book bag.
"I'm not sure sweetie maybe you should get daddy to ask her." Kagome said
Shiori turned to Sesshoumaru. "I'll call her today after I come back from taking you two, to school." Sesshoumaru told her. Shiori smiled and walked out the kitchen.
Shippo had gotten his hair cut for the new school year he didn't like the cut very much. "Mama would it be ok if I went over to Inuyasha's after school instead of coming straight home?" he asked Kagome.
"If its alright with Inu." Kagome said sweetly
"Cool he promised me that he was going to take me to this place that he , Koga, Miroku and Onigumo use to go too when they were my age. he said you acted like a baby when he took you after you guys first kiss. " Shippo said as he looked at his dad and ran out the room laughing.
"He had to bring that up..Im going to kill InuYasha." Kagome said her face turning beet red.
"Seems Inuyasha stills has feelings for you how nice." Sesshoumaru said.
"Where just friends, Inu and I are nothing more, just because you can't be friends with your ex, doesn't mean I can't with mine." she said as she poured herself a glass of juice.
"I rather be your ex." She mumbled
"What did you say?" he asked as he walked over to her. Kagome looked at him.
"Nothing, it's my pregnancy hormones." she told him. "Listen I need to go out today." she said.
"No your not leaving the house." he said sternly.
"Alean left the house when she was pregnant, and so does Ayame. I just want to go and see my girlfriends, that to much, I'll even take one of the drivers with me." she said as she put her glass in the dishwasher.
"Yes that’s too much" He said
"Fine, I'll stay here all by my lonesome self gaining unwanted pounds, with no one to talk too." she said as she sat down glaring at him. "Would it matter if I went to see your mom, could I leave the house then?" she asked him.
"There straight back, don't say a word about anything or there will hell to pay." he said
"I would never tell her, that her son who she thinks is a prince is really Satan." she said sweetly.
"Good girl." He said
After she was sure Sesshoumaru had gone she called Sango, Kikyo and Ayame. "Hey girls how about lunch later at Blooms, after I go and see my mother in law?" she asked them on the four way. " Sure Kags we'll see you there." they all said and hung up.
“Heh and he thinks he’s so smart" she said
Kagome went upstairs and changed her clothes and went and got the driver, this driver she could trust not to tell Sesshoumaru at least she hoped.
The driver was Hojo Tanaka and Kagome was far from full of her self but she wasn't blind either, Hojo liked her and he liked her a lot.
"Where to Mrs. Taski?" Hojo asked her as he held the car door open for her. "To my in laws please and then there is somewhere else I want you to take me afterwards." Kagome told him.
"Right away miss." Hojo said blushing some
"Hojo you can call me Kagome." she said as she looked at her watch.
"Ok Kagome, this other place you don't want Mr. Taski to know about right ?"
"Right on the money Hojo." She said and winked at him.
"Well if he asks me I'll tell him you got hungry and I stopped at a restaurant." he said with a grin.
Kagome smiled at him, least she had one friend among the staff.
Hojo drove to Sesshoumaru's parent's home , he got out the car and opened the door for her. "Take your time." he said as he let her out.
"I won't be to long." she said and rang the bell.
BUZZ!!!
"Coming" She heard her mother in law shout.
Sakura opened the door, "Kagome this is a surprise , come in how have you been?" she asked her as she ushered her into the living room.
"Fine mom." She lied
"Oh good, to tell you the truth I was expecting Sesshoumaru's cousin, he's suppose to be on his way here to finish his last year of high school." she told her.
"I see, Sesshoumaru never mentioned he had a cousin my age." Kagome told her.
"Yeah he doesn't talk about him much maybe you'll get to meet him" Sakura said
"They don't get along do they?" Kagome asked her.
"Not really, Yue is more shy, something like your friend Onigumo." she told her.
"Oh how sweet" Kagome squealed
Just then the door bell rang, this time one of the maids answered the door. An in walked a tall male, with snow white hair and crystal blue eyes. "Aunt Sakura.." he said.
Kagome gasped he was a handsome devil was almost as good looking as Sesshomaru.
Kagome was at a lost for words, "Yue, I'm so glad you made it was your flight okay?" his aunt asked him. " It was fine." he said as he looked at Kagome.
"Yue , this is Kagome, Sesshoumaru's mate." Sakura said.
“My deepest apologies for that beast knocking you up." Yue said as he gave Kagome a frown. .he knew her secret, and that was knowing too much.
"Uh huh, ." she said. "I..I have to go she said, as she remembered her date with Sango and them. "So soon?" Sakura asked her.
"Sorry." she said. not taking her eyes off of Yue.
"I have an idea why don't you Sesshou, and the kids come over tonight for dinner." she said to Kagome. "Yue I'm sure you like to see your cousin after all this time?" his aunt said.
“I would like to have a talk to my idiotic cousin." Yue said
"Yue, be nice." Sakura said.
"I assume you'll be inviting Naraku as well won't you? he asked.
He looked at Kagome dead in the eyes "I’m sure I’ll need to talk to him as well."
Kagome gulped knowing what subject he was referring to
"Good, don't worry Kagome I'll call him at work." She told her. "Yeah, I better go. nice meeting you." Kagome said and left. breathing a sigh of relief once outside. Hojo walked over to her.
"Everything ok?" he asked.
"Just the usual almost caught." Kagome said with a smile as forced as a breeze on a hot summer day
While Hojo drove Kagome to Blooms, Sakura called Sesshoumaru who was getting ready to go to lunch with Naraku and Hiten. when his phone rang.
***************************************************************** **********************
"Yes mom?" He said
"I thought you like to know that Yue is here, he's going to be finishing his last year of school here. and I want you, Naraku and the rest of you here tonight for dinner." she told him
"Ugh mom do I have to?" He complained
"Yes he has already seen your mate and he says he needs to talk to you" Sakura said
"I see, sure Naraku and Hiten will be there tonight." Sesshoumaru told her.
"Good, 7:30 don't be late." she told him and ended the call.
Sesshoumaru shook his head and looked at the phone “this is going to be a long dinner” he thought and hung up the phone
***latter with the guys***
"What you mean we'll be there?" Hiten asked.
“Yue and my mother are expecting us." he said
"Who said I wanted to go?, you and Naraku the one that use to pick on him, I have plans anyway." Hiten lied.
"You’re a bad liar." Sesshomaru said
"Now where have I heard that before" Hiten said "Its like deya u"
"You mean deja vu?" Naraku asked
"Shut up, Koharu and I don't need to be there, we're good relationship, no babies to tie us down, why should we have to go?, does anyone ever ask Hiten what he wants to do?"
"No that’s why your going." Sesshomaru said
"You act like it's the end of the world." Naraku said to Hiten. Hiten glared at him. "It is."
"No just your sex life." Sesshomaru said
"Fine, I hope Kagome get's a crush on him." Hiten said and walked out the room.
"Won't be hard seeing as she fell for that mutt." Naraku said laughing all of the way out of the room also.
Sesshoumaru had no idea why his cousin would all of the sudden want to finish school here in Tokyo. Yue had to beg to leave Tokyo because of the way he and Naraku use to tease him.
Kagome went to Blooms and met up with Sango, Kikyo and Ayame.
Kags what’s got you all flustered?" Sango asked.
"Yue, this really gorgeous cousin of Sesshoumaru's" Kagome said " He knows everything I can tell and now he wants to talk to Sesshomaru and Naraku."
"Knows what?" Kikyo asked. Kagome sighed. That's right all my friends still don't know that Sesshoumaru abuses me sometimes. "That I'm having a baby." she said quickly.
"Well least your not a wide load like Ayame. Sango said with a grin. "
"Yeah you won't have to worry about that Sango, Miroku is to afraid to touch you." Ayame retorted.
Sango was angry beyond belief "Just because I didn't get knocked up doesn't mean he didn't touch me, seems to me you let Koga touch you a little to much!"
"No, just I got the better cousin." Ayame said.
"Enough you two." Kikyo said.
Kagome laughed. "Are you two ever going to get along for more than five minutes?"
"Of course Kagome." Sango said.
"Tell me Sango what do you think Miroku would say or do if he found out you still had a crush on Naraku?" Ayame asked her. Sango looked at her and then Kagome.
"Kagome how could you tell her!?" Sango screamed.
"What I didn't" Kagome screeched
"She's right." Ayame said "You just did." Ayame said to her.
"You tramp, you tricked me!"
"I always thought you had a thing for him, why him and not his cousin?" Ayame asked her.
“That's none of your business." Sango all but growled. Kikyo cleared her throat.
"So Kagome what's Sesshoumaru's cousin like?" she asked.
"You mean, Yue?" Kagome said
"Yes, what's he like does he look like Sesshoumaru, most of all is he single?" Kikyo asked her.
"No he’s cute." Kagome said with a sigh "He is nice, polite and kinda shy."
"Introduce me." Kikyo said to her cousin.
"What about you and Inuyasha?" Sango asked her as she took one of Ayame's fries.
"I dunno if it’s going to work out." Kikyo said
"Well Inu did say right now he wants to just focus on our album." Kagome told her.
"By the way when is the album coming out?" Sango asked.
"I don't know, he hasn't said anything about it." Kagome told them. Kagome looked at her watch, then her cell phone rang. She looked at who was calling her.
"Yes Sesshoumaru." she said.
"Where are you?" He demanded
" On my way home, I stopped to get something to eat, I have cravings you know. "Why is there something you wanted?" she asked him.
“Just get home get the kids ready and get changed." Sesshomaru said "I’m sure you know we have to attend this dinner."
"Their not home yet it's only 1:30, and besides I told Shippo he could hang with Inuyasha." She said.
"I don't care what you told him, he's going to this dinner, now do I tell him or do you?" he asked her
"You." Kagome said "Why don't you ruin your son's happiness for once."
"Very well, I'll see you at home in half an hour." he said and hung up. Sango, Kikyo and Ayame looked at their friend. "Is everything ok?" Ayame asked her.
"Was it ever?" Kagome asked
"Kagome. " Sango began.
"Look I have to go, I'll talk to him about our music." Kagome told them and left the restaurant and went back to the car where Hojo was waiting.
"Home and fast don't want fluffy to catch us." she said
Hojo nodded his head, he got in the car and drove but not to fast, and not to slow. Once home Kagome went into the kitchen knowing Sesshoumaru would be home soon.
She went out in the back and looked at the house he had gotten for Shiori. She sighed. She wondered how the baby would be treated.
For now she would keep it safe in her womb, Kagome went back inside to see Sesshoumaru walk in the door.
“No honey I’m home" Kagome said sarcasm dripping from every word
"If you would give me the chance to speak, I would say so." he told her.
"Really, well are you in a good mood cause I need to ask you for a favor." Kagome said to him.
"Depends on what you ask" Sesshomaru said
"First let Shippo stay with Inuyasha, instead of going with us, you know what happened last time we took the kids to dinner, second, Ayame is having a baby shower and I want to go.and last let Queen of hearts release a single." she asked him
"Yes, only if you have an escort, depends on your behavior." he answered.
"And what about Shippo?" She asked him
"I told you already he is going, same thing won't happen Kagura isn't in Naraku's life anymore." he said.
"Yes but another girl is." Kagome yelled "And I don't want my son or my sister exposed to that it’s already hard enough to know that I go through that and I am their mother figure."
Sesshoumaru walked over to her. "What do you go through Kagome?, you and Kagura were never even friends!" he yelled.
"Yes but I know how it feels to be mated to a monster!" She screamed, Sesshomaru growled and raised his hand to strike Kagome when he heard a child cry out "Daddy no" Shiori cried as she ran to Kagome "Leave her alone, go away"
"Shiori." Sesshomaru began
"No go away!" She screamed "I hate you daddy."
Kagome looked at Shiori. "Shiori don't hate him. Kagome said as she bent down to her.
"We had a disagreement that's all he didn't hurt me." she said to her little sister, Shiori looked at Kagome.
Sesshoumaru looked at Shiori, I'm sorry Shiori I lost my temper, as Kagome said we had an disagreement." He told her.
"But you were going to hit her." Shiori said now looking at him.
"I'm sorry." he said to Shiori. and then looked at Kagome let Shippo stay at Inuyasha's tonight." he told Kagome and went up the steps to shower and change his clothes.
"Shiori what you saw just now don't say anything to Shippo, and next time for your own safety never interfere between Daddy and me again." Kagome told her.
"I'm sorry Kagome I was just worried that he was going to hurt you." Shiori told her.
"I know." Kagome said. "Now go and get changed we're going out." Kagome told her.
Shiori left to change still wondering if she should listen to Kagome or tell Shippo
Kagome sighed, as she walked into her own bedroom, she heard the shower running so she, knew where Sesshoumaru was. She decided to get out her dress for the night. She went into their walk-in closet and picked out a pale green dress with split on the side. mine as well wear it while I can, before I get to big. she thought.
Sesshoumaru came out the bathroom with a towel around his waist.
"Does she still hate me?" He asked
"I don't know, but I told her not to jump in between us like that again." she said as she laid her dress on the bed.
"Tell me did your dad ever do your mom the way you do me?"
"That is personal matters" He said
"Really, I'm sure if I asked her she would tell me." she said as she got ready to go into the bathroom.
"You will not" He barked
"Why not you can't hurt while I'm pregnant." she said with confidence.
Sesshoumaru growled at her.
"9 months isn't that long love" He said
"I told you before I can hurt you through your friends, so just try me." he warned her. Kagome didn't say anything more she went into the bathroom and slammed the door behind her.
Hiten had just picked up Koharu. "Hiten what's wrong?" Koharu asked him.
I was just thinking of all the things I did to you when we first started dating".
"Oh" She said sadly "Its alright Hiten"
"A lot of those things I did to you were because Naraku and Sess , said I was suppose to do it. I know that's no excuse." he said.
"Hiten, it's over now." she said.
"That is but I know that Sess and Naraku have something planned." he told her.
“What do you mean planned?" She asked alarmed for her friend.
" Haven't you noticed how neither became angry when they found out I was friends with Inuyasha and Onigumo?, I just know they have something planned, I mean why should you and I have to go to this dinner tonight?, what's the purpose of us being there?" he said as he drove.
“Your right." Koharu said "Its defiantly not out of the kindness of their hearts."
"So just be on guard ok." he said as he stopped in font a store. "I'll be right back." he told her and got out the car. After Hiten went in the store. Koharu called Kagome on her cell phone.
"Hello." Kagome said wrapping her hair in a towel.
"Kags it’s me Haru." Koharu said.
"Yeah Haru what’s up?" Kagome said.
"I don't know what's going on, but I think Sesshoumaru and Naraku have something planned tonight for Hiten, and not in a good way. because he's friends with Yasha and Oni." she told her.
"Oh no not again." Kagome said "I'll keep my eyes open and say something if I think some things up."
"Thanks, I'll see you there." Koharu told her and hung up. Kagome sighed. Kagome blow dried her hair and went and put her dress on, she picked up her shoes and went downstairs Shiori was sitting on the couch, waiting patiently.
"Shiori where's he at?" Kagome asked her.
Shiori pointed behind her as she dangled her feet from the couch and swung her legs back and fourth.
Sesshoumaru walked out the kitchen with his cell in his hand. " I just talked to Inuyasha, Shippo is with him , I told him to keep Shippo overnight and take him to school in the morning, and I'll pick him up after school." he told Kagome.
"Ok, well let's go then." she said as she put her shoes on.
"You know I hope Hiten and Koharu get married, they are so sweet to each other." she said as she took Shiori's hand.
“C'mon Shi" She said as she began walking away.
"Not after tonight." Sesshomaru said
"Shit." Kagome thought, she needed to find her cell phone or Koharu which ever came quicker.
Hiten arrived at the Tashio mansion, he saw Naraku's car in the driveway. Hiten became tense. Koharu noticed it. "Hiten look we can just leave now." Koharu told him.
“Okay lets go." Hiten said as they began walking back to their car headlights blinded them "Shit." Hiten cursed as he saw Sesshoumaru's car pull up next to theirs.
"Too late." he said to her.
"What do they have on you?" Koharu asked him. Hiten looked at her.
"A lot." was all he said.
"Do I know about it?" She asked.
"Not everything." he said as Kagome got out the car. Koharu looked at him.
"What have you done?" she asked him.
As he was getting ready to speak Shiori ran up to the couple.
“Auntie Haru, Uncle Hiten." Shiori yelled as she met them.
"Hey cutie," Hiten said as he picked her up. "Your looking more and more like your sis everyday." Hiten said. Shiori smiled.
"Where's Maten-kun?" Shiori asked him.
Kagome and Sesshomaru walked over to them, Sesshomaru smirking all the while where Kagome was motioning for Koharu to come away with her to talk.
"I'll be right back." Koharu said. and kissed him on the cheek.
"Kags nice dress." Koharu said as she walked over to her. Kagome and Koharu walked behind as Hiten and Sesshoumaru walked towards the house. "Something is going to happen Haru." Kagome said to her.
"I know, I just wish I knew what." Koharu said sadly. "I know Hiten never cheated on me, at least I hope he didn't she said as they followed the men and Shiori in the house.
"Its something to break you to up." Kagome said
"I have a feeling on my gut."
"I won't break up with him, no matter what. I love him." Koharu said. Shiori was playing with Narkau's and Alean's baby. "Hijiri is so cute." Shiori said. as the baby boy smiled at her.
"Well soon you'll have a baby in your home." Alean said.
Hiten walked over to Naraku and Sesshoumaru. "Whatever you have planned leave Koharu out of it." he said to them.
"What would be the fun in that?' Naraku asked, as Yue entered the room
" Sesshoumaru, Naraku longtime no see." he said as he walked over to them. Hiten looked at Yue.
"Yue what brings you back to Japan?" Hiten asked him.
"Three cheers for sweet revenge." Yue said now turning to Hiten "I see they are still out to ruin lives."
"Don't do it their is a child and baby here." Hiten said to them. Koharu walked away from Kagome and over to Hiten. "You must be Sesshoumaru's cousin." she said. Yue looked at her.
"Such beauty, your mate Hiten?" Yue asked.
"Yes, hopefully it stays that way." Hiten said
"Naraku I hear you now have a child, a half-breed in fact, I was under the impression you hated humans." Yue said. "Hiten let's go see if we can help Kagome in the kitchen." Koharu said pulling him away.
"Yes but we all make exceptions." Naraku said
"And dear cousin, you as well, you have changed. don't worry I'll keep and eye on her at school." he said.
As long as it’s just an eye." Sesshomaru said "You don't want to loose anything vital."
"No, I'm not like Naraku I would never go after my cousin's girl. by the way where is Onigumo?" Yue asked Naraku.
"Who knows, I don't tract trash." Naraku said
"Then how do you keep track of your mate." Yue asked
"What did you say?" Naraku growled.
Sesshoumaru's dad came in the room and could feel the tension in the room.
"Boys is there a problem here?"
"You heard me I’m not that same little boy anymore." Yue said to Naraku before shaking his head at his uncle and walking away to the kitchens.
"I'm warning you two now, leave Yue alone." his dad said walking over to them.
"I have no intentions of dealing with him." Sesshoumaru said.
"Now Naraku that's a different story." he said
"Naraku" He growled "Leave him alone he was only stating the obvious considering the situation"
Naraku didn't say anything. "Now come on dinner is ready." Inutashio said to the two.
"We'll be right there. Sesshoumaru said. his dad nodded his head, but before leaving he said.
" Remember your dad and I are good friends Naraku."
"Did your dad just threaten me and insult my mate?" Naraku asked.
"Seems that way, but you did call Alean a whore in the hospital when you first saw Hijiri." Sesshoumaru stated.
"Yeah what can I say easy girls are not hard to come by." Naraku said laughing.
"So let it go, Hiten is the problem tonight, do you want to start or should I?" Sesshoumaru asked him as they walked into the other room where everyone was .
"When ever the opportunity knocks we will knock hard" Naraku said
Naraku sat down next to Alean, he noticed his son wasn't there. Sesshoumaru sat down next to Kagome. "Where's Hijiri?" Naraku asked her.
"Oh, Mrs. Tashio let me take him upstairs he was sleepy." she told him
"That’s a good girl" Naraku said, and Kagome almost got sick at the way he treated her as if she was a dog.
" So Hiten with all your friends having babies, are you and Koharu next on the list?" Inutashio asked him.
"Or is he already on that list with another girl." Naraku commented
Hiten looked at Sesshoumaru and Naraku.
"No sir, maybe after she graduates and Queen of hearts are established. of course I have to ask her dad for permission." he said
"Unlike some people I know." he said.
Koharu and Kagome tried to stifle their laughter but as they eyed each other they both bursted out even Yue was smirking and Mr. Tashio cracked a smile. "Girls" Mrs Tashio chided, hiding her smile with a handkerchief.
"Kagome where is Shippo,? I was hurt to see my little grandson, not here." Mrs Tashio asked.
"Oh he wanted to stay with my best friend Inuyasha, you remember him."
"More like Inuyasha's little sister." Koharu said.
"Oh, he has crush already, how cute, Mrs. Tashio cooed, Shiori do you like anyone?" Mrs. Tashio asked her.
"Uh huh" Shiori said as she looked at Hiten.
"Maten-kun he's my boyfriend"
"My two grand kids in love, Inutashio said. "Yue what about you a old girlfriend back home?" he asked his nephew.
“No but I have my eye on someone" Yue said his smile Kagome knew was meant for her.
Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome. "Hiten what was the name of that girl you meant at Naraku's parent's summer home?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
Hiten dropped his fork.
"I think it was that same girl at your fathers Christmas party wasn't it Sesshomaru?" Hiten said.
"No, no this girl had blue eyes and black hair she looked like a more mature Koharu." he said back.
"Oh I could have sworn that was Naraku with her." Hiten said
"No I remember her, Koharu was at home and you couldn't take your eyes off of her, you said Koharu wouldn't find out." Naraku commented. Kagome took Shiori out the room.
"Aww my friend your mistaken maybe you were having an out of body experience" Hiten said as he reached for Koharu's hand.
Naraku smiled." Come now friend no need to be shy we all saw you go inside the house with her." Naraku said. Kagome came back in the room.
"Sesshoumaru please don't." she pleaded.
Hiten squeezed Koharu's hand "Oh but my friend at that time we were on a break and I could have sworn you two and your mates were active but who were the women you two headed into the house with?"
"You see Alean he has cheated on Kagura before, so don't be surprise if he does this with you and as for Sesshoumaru well he was with Kayami at the time, so he didn't cheat on you Kagome." Hiten said.
“But give it time" Yue said
Sesshoumaru glared at him. Sesshoumaru parent's looked at Naraku and Sesshoumaru.
" You cheated on Kayami?" his mom asked him.
"I did, she wasn't my mate, But what Hiten did is different." he said
“At least I don't put my hands on my mate!" Hiten said
Naraku and Sesshoumaru glared at him. " Really at least I don't have a child besides the one with my mate!"
Sesshoumaru yelled. Hiten looked at him as did Koharu.
"I was young." Hiten said "Don't blame Maten for this."
"What!, Manten is your child?" Koharu said with sadness in her voice.
"I was going to tell you." Hiten said "No one else knows.”
"When Hiten?, she said as tears started to form in her eyes. Hiten looked at Sesshoumaru and Naraku.
"I asked you to leave her out of this. I told you to punish me not her." he said.
" Sesshoumaru, Naraku how could you." Both Kagome and Alean said.
"Your mated to monsters there’s only four ways out." Yue said "He lets you go, you die, he dies, or a male in the family of your mate wants you."
"Enough!" Inutashio yelled. "What the hell has gotten into you three!?, you three are the best of friends, what is all of this, turning on each other?, and Yue go upstairs." Inutashio said to him.
"Uncle" Yue said "Please I have not said my peace yet they have tormented me for almost 16 years."
"Go now!" he growled leaving no room for argument. Yue grumbled to himself and smirked at Sesshoumaru and Naraku. Once he was out the room. Inutashio turned his attention back to the young adults.
"Answers now!" he said to Hiten and the rest of them.
“I was 13." Hiten said. "She was 14 we messed around she got pregnant, she had the baby and gave it up for adoption my parents fought for custody and soon the custody of Manten will be given to me."
"I see." Inutashio said.
"But that doesn't explain why you three are at each other's throats, and what is this about putting hands on mates?" he asked.
Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru.
She began to stand and walk away when she was caught.
"Kagome sit." Mrs. Tashio said.
Kagome sat down and bowed her head. "Yes ma’am" She said
"Did you do what I think you did?" Inutashio asked him.
“It depends on what you think." Sesshomaru said
" Want to play it that way?, did you hit her?" he growled.
"Yes but only once." Sesshomaru said
"A day." Hiten said" She has scars to prove it."
Inutashio turned to Kagome, "Why haven't you said anything?" he asked her.
Inutashio could smell the fear rolling off Kagome.
"I couldn't" Kagome said
"You couldn't?, I see. Now since I know this, things will change." he said. " Sesshoumaru you're my son and I love you, but what you have done is wrong, I will not move her out the house yet, since I know that a pup needs to sense it's father. But make no mistake if I hear that she has been hit or in the hospital for any other reason than her pregnancy you will be sorry." he told him
"Yes sir." Sesshomaru said
"Kagome." InuTashio said
"Yes sir" She said
"Why didn't you tell us? "He asked
"I have kids to take care of" Kagome said" I have a band that needs me to get started and if I would have told you or anybody they would suffer."
“And I saw how Kagura and Koharu were treated , so I thought it was how things were." she said. Naraku glared at her.
"Oh so what is this the mate beaters club." He growled "Wait till your fathers hear about this."
"Please no." Koharu said "Hiten's not like that he doesn't touch me anymore and he only did because of your son and Naraku not on his own."
"They doesn't excuse Naraku, I'll be seeing you dad tomorrow anyway." he said.
"We're not kids how is what we did, any different from what you and my dad did to your mates?" Naraku asked him.
"My mate wasn't human and I did not beat her for petty things, back then it was legal and I was wrong and my mate has forgiven me but now it is illegal."
"Neither was Kagura." Sesshoumaru said.
"I haven't laid a hand on Alean." Naraku told him. Alean looked at Naraku.
"You were going to." Inutashio said
"Dad please." Kagome said. "Sesshomaru hasn't hit me in a while."
"That’s not true." Shiori said coming back into the room "Grandpa he was going to hit her today." she said as tears began to fall down her face just like last time when me and Shippo were in the car, but this time Gome told me not to tell Shippo."
"How long has this been going on?" Inutashio asked. Sakura looked at Sesshoumaru.
“As long as we've been together." Kagome said sadly
"Sesshoumaru we raised you better than this, how could you?" his mom asked.
"I'm sorry mom, it won't happen again." he said.
"That is not a good enough answer." Inutashio said "I do not know if we can chance that, next thing he will be putting his hands on the children or worse he will make Kagome lose the baby."
" I would never hurt my children I have been nothing but careful since she told me she was pregnant, and I would never hit Shiori or Shippo." he said now standing up. He looked at Hiten.
"Do not look at him!" his father yelled" This is your own damn fault the only other person you can blame is Naraku, because he has helped you lose everything as of now Kagome and the children live here."
"What!, you can't do that, you just said a pup needs to be near his father." he growled.
“Not when his father can not take care of the pups mother!." Inutashio said "The pup will turn on you, it knows you are the cause of its mothers discomfort."
Naraku looked at him. Sesshoumaru was pissed. he looked at Kagome, then back at his dad. "How long?" he asked his dad.
"As long as it takes." His father answered "You are welcome here at anytime but you will not be left alone with Kagome until I say so."
"Really, what about her contract, she has to rehearse, and dad you have no say over Tashio Inc, that belongs to me." he said.
"Yes the company belongs to you but the owner belongs to me." Inutashio said "She will have an escort, and I think Yue will do nicely."
"No!, he growled. He will not go near my mate, her driver will be her escort." he said
"Hojo is to weak to protect her." Inutashio said "It will be Yue."
"I said no, he will not be allowed in the building." he said.
" Sess maybe you better stop." Naraku and Hiten said.
"He will or the Queen of hearts will find another place of employment and I have connections." Inutashio said
"Don't you dare mess with their careers." Hiten said to Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru growled." He touches her I will kill him." he said
“You touch him and you will not be welcomed here or around your family." Inutashio said
"Of course you take his side, your precious Yue, fine let him come." he said.
Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome. "I'm going home I'll send their clothes here”. he said.
"Sess-" Kagome began but Sesshomaru cut her off.
"Don't." Sesshomaru said sadly as he walked away.
"Go get Hijiri." Naraku told Alean.
Alean got up and went to get their son. Naraku looked at Hiten .
" Are you happy now?" Naraku said and walked out the room.
‘No." Hiten said "Your not the only one with problems, you have ruined my relationship as well as my sons."
" I love him." Kagome said to Inutashio and Sakura.
"I believe time away from you will change him." Inutashio said.
"I hope so." Kagome said as she felt the tears well up in her eyes.
It had been a few weeks since Kagome had told Sesshoumaru that she was having his pup. truthfully, she thought he would had taken the news better than he had. She wondered how she was going to handle being pregnant and going back to school.
Kagome came down the steps to see, Shiori and Shippo getting ready to go to school. Shippo and Shiori 's uniforms were blue and white. "Kagome are you going to be here when we get home?" Shiori asked her as Sesshoumaru came in the kitchen.
"I should be Shi." Kagome said
"Ok, do you think that Alean will bring Hijiri over today?" Shiori asked her as she grabbed her book bag.
"I'm not sure sweetie maybe you should get daddy to ask her." Kagome said
Shiori turned to Sesshoumaru. "I'll call her today after I come back from taking you two, to school." Sesshoumaru told her. Shiori smiled and walked out the kitchen.
Shippo had gotten his hair cut for the new school year he didn't like the cut very much. "Mama would it be ok if I went over to Inuyasha's after school instead of coming straight home?" he asked Kagome.
"If its alright with Inu." Kagome said sweetly
"Cool he promised me that he was going to take me to this place that he , Koga, Miroku and Onigumo use to go too when they were my age. he said you acted like a baby when he took you after you guys first kiss. " Shippo said as he looked at his dad and ran out the room laughing.
"He had to bring that up..Im going to kill InuYasha." Kagome said her face turning beet red.
"Seems Inuyasha stills has feelings for you how nice." Sesshoumaru said.
"Where just friends, Inu and I are nothing more, just because you can't be friends with your ex, doesn't mean I can't with mine." she said as she poured herself a glass of juice.
"I rather be your ex." She mumbled
"What did you say?" he asked as he walked over to her. Kagome looked at him.
"Nothing, it's my pregnancy hormones." she told him. "Listen I need to go out today." she said.
"No your not leaving the house." he said sternly.
"Alean left the house when she was pregnant, and so does Ayame. I just want to go and see my girlfriends, that to much, I'll even take one of the drivers with me." she said as she put her glass in the dishwasher.
"Yes that’s too much" He said
"Fine, I'll stay here all by my lonesome self gaining unwanted pounds, with no one to talk too." she said as she sat down glaring at him. "Would it matter if I went to see your mom, could I leave the house then?" she asked him.
"There straight back, don't say a word about anything or there will hell to pay." he said
"I would never tell her, that her son who she thinks is a prince is really Satan." she said sweetly.
"Good girl." He said
After she was sure Sesshoumaru had gone she called Sango, Kikyo and Ayame. "Hey girls how about lunch later at Blooms, after I go and see my mother in law?" she asked them on the four way. " Sure Kags we'll see you there." they all said and hung up.
“Heh and he thinks he’s so smart" she said
Kagome went upstairs and changed her clothes and went and got the driver, this driver she could trust not to tell Sesshoumaru at least she hoped.
The driver was Hojo Tanaka and Kagome was far from full of her self but she wasn't blind either, Hojo liked her and he liked her a lot.
"Where to Mrs. Taski?" Hojo asked her as he held the car door open for her. "To my in laws please and then there is somewhere else I want you to take me afterwards." Kagome told him.
"Right away miss." Hojo said blushing some
"Hojo you can call me Kagome." she said as she looked at her watch.
"Ok Kagome, this other place you don't want Mr. Taski to know about right ?"
"Right on the money Hojo." She said and winked at him.
"Well if he asks me I'll tell him you got hungry and I stopped at a restaurant." he said with a grin.
Kagome smiled at him, least she had one friend among the staff.
Hojo drove to Sesshoumaru's parent's home , he got out the car and opened the door for her. "Take your time." he said as he let her out.
"I won't be to long." she said and rang the bell.
BUZZ!!!
"Coming" She heard her mother in law shout.
Sakura opened the door, "Kagome this is a surprise , come in how have you been?" she asked her as she ushered her into the living room.
"Fine mom." She lied
"Oh good, to tell you the truth I was expecting Sesshoumaru's cousin, he's suppose to be on his way here to finish his last year of high school." she told her.
"I see, Sesshoumaru never mentioned he had a cousin my age." Kagome told her.
"Yeah he doesn't talk about him much maybe you'll get to meet him" Sakura said
"They don't get along do they?" Kagome asked her.
"Not really, Yue is more shy, something like your friend Onigumo." she told her.
"Oh how sweet" Kagome squealed
Just then the door bell rang, this time one of the maids answered the door. An in walked a tall male, with snow white hair and crystal blue eyes. "Aunt Sakura.." he said.
Kagome gasped he was a handsome devil was almost as good looking as Sesshomaru.
Kagome was at a lost for words, "Yue, I'm so glad you made it was your flight okay?" his aunt asked him. " It was fine." he said as he looked at Kagome.
"Yue , this is Kagome, Sesshoumaru's mate." Sakura said.
“My deepest apologies for that beast knocking you up." Yue said as he gave Kagome a frown. .he knew her secret, and that was knowing too much.
"Uh huh, ." she said. "I..I have to go she said, as she remembered her date with Sango and them. "So soon?" Sakura asked her.
"Sorry." she said. not taking her eyes off of Yue.
"I have an idea why don't you Sesshou, and the kids come over tonight for dinner." she said to Kagome. "Yue I'm sure you like to see your cousin after all this time?" his aunt said.
“I would like to have a talk to my idiotic cousin." Yue said
"Yue, be nice." Sakura said.
"I assume you'll be inviting Naraku as well won't you? he asked.
He looked at Kagome dead in the eyes "I’m sure I’ll need to talk to him as well."
Kagome gulped knowing what subject he was referring to
"Good, don't worry Kagome I'll call him at work." She told her. "Yeah, I better go. nice meeting you." Kagome said and left. breathing a sigh of relief once outside. Hojo walked over to her.
"Everything ok?" he asked.
"Just the usual almost caught." Kagome said with a smile as forced as a breeze on a hot summer day
While Hojo drove Kagome to Blooms, Sakura called Sesshoumaru who was getting ready to go to lunch with Naraku and Hiten. when his phone rang.
***************************************************************** **********************
"Yes mom?" He said
"I thought you like to know that Yue is here, he's going to be finishing his last year of school here. and I want you, Naraku and the rest of you here tonight for dinner." she told him
"Ugh mom do I have to?" He complained
"Yes he has already seen your mate and he says he needs to talk to you" Sakura said
"I see, sure Naraku and Hiten will be there tonight." Sesshoumaru told her.
"Good, 7:30 don't be late." she told him and ended the call.
Sesshoumaru shook his head and looked at the phone “this is going to be a long dinner” he thought and hung up the phone
***latter with the guys***
"What you mean we'll be there?" Hiten asked.
“Yue and my mother are expecting us." he said
"Who said I wanted to go?, you and Naraku the one that use to pick on him, I have plans anyway." Hiten lied.
"You’re a bad liar." Sesshomaru said
"Now where have I heard that before" Hiten said "Its like deya u"
"You mean deja vu?" Naraku asked
"Shut up, Koharu and I don't need to be there, we're good relationship, no babies to tie us down, why should we have to go?, does anyone ever ask Hiten what he wants to do?"
"No that’s why your going." Sesshomaru said
"You act like it's the end of the world." Naraku said to Hiten. Hiten glared at him. "It is."
"No just your sex life." Sesshomaru said
"Fine, I hope Kagome get's a crush on him." Hiten said and walked out the room.
"Won't be hard seeing as she fell for that mutt." Naraku said laughing all of the way out of the room also.
Sesshoumaru had no idea why his cousin would all of the sudden want to finish school here in Tokyo. Yue had to beg to leave Tokyo because of the way he and Naraku use to tease him.
Kagome went to Blooms and met up with Sango, Kikyo and Ayame.
Kags what’s got you all flustered?" Sango asked.
"Yue, this really gorgeous cousin of Sesshoumaru's" Kagome said " He knows everything I can tell and now he wants to talk to Sesshomaru and Naraku."
"Knows what?" Kikyo asked. Kagome sighed. That's right all my friends still don't know that Sesshoumaru abuses me sometimes. "That I'm having a baby." she said quickly.
"Well least your not a wide load like Ayame. Sango said with a grin. "
"Yeah you won't have to worry about that Sango, Miroku is to afraid to touch you." Ayame retorted.
Sango was angry beyond belief "Just because I didn't get knocked up doesn't mean he didn't touch me, seems to me you let Koga touch you a little to much!"
"No, just I got the better cousin." Ayame said.
"Enough you two." Kikyo said.
Kagome laughed. "Are you two ever going to get along for more than five minutes?"
"Of course Kagome." Sango said.
"Tell me Sango what do you think Miroku would say or do if he found out you still had a crush on Naraku?" Ayame asked her. Sango looked at her and then Kagome.
"Kagome how could you tell her!?" Sango screamed.
"What I didn't" Kagome screeched
"She's right." Ayame said "You just did." Ayame said to her.
"You tramp, you tricked me!"
"I always thought you had a thing for him, why him and not his cousin?" Ayame asked her.
“That's none of your business." Sango all but growled. Kikyo cleared her throat.
"So Kagome what's Sesshoumaru's cousin like?" she asked.
"You mean, Yue?" Kagome said
"Yes, what's he like does he look like Sesshoumaru, most of all is he single?" Kikyo asked her.
"No he’s cute." Kagome said with a sigh "He is nice, polite and kinda shy."
"Introduce me." Kikyo said to her cousin.
"What about you and Inuyasha?" Sango asked her as she took one of Ayame's fries.
"I dunno if it’s going to work out." Kikyo said
"Well Inu did say right now he wants to just focus on our album." Kagome told her.
"By the way when is the album coming out?" Sango asked.
"I don't know, he hasn't said anything about it." Kagome told them. Kagome looked at her watch, then her cell phone rang. She looked at who was calling her.
"Yes Sesshoumaru." she said.
"Where are you?" He demanded
" On my way home, I stopped to get something to eat, I have cravings you know. "Why is there something you wanted?" she asked him.
“Just get home get the kids ready and get changed." Sesshomaru said "I’m sure you know we have to attend this dinner."
"Their not home yet it's only 1:30, and besides I told Shippo he could hang with Inuyasha." She said.
"I don't care what you told him, he's going to this dinner, now do I tell him or do you?" he asked her
"You." Kagome said "Why don't you ruin your son's happiness for once."
"Very well, I'll see you at home in half an hour." he said and hung up. Sango, Kikyo and Ayame looked at their friend. "Is everything ok?" Ayame asked her.
"Was it ever?" Kagome asked
"Kagome. " Sango began.
"Look I have to go, I'll talk to him about our music." Kagome told them and left the restaurant and went back to the car where Hojo was waiting.
"Home and fast don't want fluffy to catch us." she said
Hojo nodded his head, he got in the car and drove but not to fast, and not to slow. Once home Kagome went into the kitchen knowing Sesshoumaru would be home soon.
She went out in the back and looked at the house he had gotten for Shiori. She sighed. She wondered how the baby would be treated.
For now she would keep it safe in her womb, Kagome went back inside to see Sesshoumaru walk in the door.
“No honey I’m home" Kagome said sarcasm dripping from every word
"If you would give me the chance to speak, I would say so." he told her.
"Really, well are you in a good mood cause I need to ask you for a favor." Kagome said to him.
"Depends on what you ask" Sesshomaru said
"First let Shippo stay with Inuyasha, instead of going with us, you know what happened last time we took the kids to dinner, second, Ayame is having a baby shower and I want to go.and last let Queen of hearts release a single." she asked him
"Yes, only if you have an escort, depends on your behavior." he answered.
"And what about Shippo?" She asked him
"I told you already he is going, same thing won't happen Kagura isn't in Naraku's life anymore." he said.
"Yes but another girl is." Kagome yelled "And I don't want my son or my sister exposed to that it’s already hard enough to know that I go through that and I am their mother figure."
Sesshoumaru walked over to her. "What do you go through Kagome?, you and Kagura were never even friends!" he yelled.
"Yes but I know how it feels to be mated to a monster!" She screamed, Sesshomaru growled and raised his hand to strike Kagome when he heard a child cry out "Daddy no" Shiori cried as she ran to Kagome "Leave her alone, go away"
"Shiori." Sesshomaru began
"No go away!" She screamed "I hate you daddy."
Kagome looked at Shiori. "Shiori don't hate him. Kagome said as she bent down to her.
"We had a disagreement that's all he didn't hurt me." she said to her little sister, Shiori looked at Kagome.
Sesshoumaru looked at Shiori, I'm sorry Shiori I lost my temper, as Kagome said we had an disagreement." He told her.
"But you were going to hit her." Shiori said now looking at him.
"I'm sorry." he said to Shiori. and then looked at Kagome let Shippo stay at Inuyasha's tonight." he told Kagome and went up the steps to shower and change his clothes.
"Shiori what you saw just now don't say anything to Shippo, and next time for your own safety never interfere between Daddy and me again." Kagome told her.
"I'm sorry Kagome I was just worried that he was going to hurt you." Shiori told her.
"I know." Kagome said. "Now go and get changed we're going out." Kagome told her.
Shiori left to change still wondering if she should listen to Kagome or tell Shippo
Kagome sighed, as she walked into her own bedroom, she heard the shower running so she, knew where Sesshoumaru was. She decided to get out her dress for the night. She went into their walk-in closet and picked out a pale green dress with split on the side. mine as well wear it while I can, before I get to big. she thought.
Sesshoumaru came out the bathroom with a towel around his waist.
"Does she still hate me?" He asked
"I don't know, but I told her not to jump in between us like that again." she said as she laid her dress on the bed.
"Tell me did your dad ever do your mom the way you do me?"
"That is personal matters" He said
"Really, I'm sure if I asked her she would tell me." she said as she got ready to go into the bathroom.
"You will not" He barked
"Why not you can't hurt while I'm pregnant." she said with confidence.
Sesshoumaru growled at her.
"9 months isn't that long love" He said
"I told you before I can hurt you through your friends, so just try me." he warned her. Kagome didn't say anything more she went into the bathroom and slammed the door behind her.
Hiten had just picked up Koharu. "Hiten what's wrong?" Koharu asked him.
I was just thinking of all the things I did to you when we first started dating".
"Oh" She said sadly "Its alright Hiten"
"A lot of those things I did to you were because Naraku and Sess , said I was suppose to do it. I know that's no excuse." he said.
"Hiten, it's over now." she said.
"That is but I know that Sess and Naraku have something planned." he told her.
“What do you mean planned?" She asked alarmed for her friend.
" Haven't you noticed how neither became angry when they found out I was friends with Inuyasha and Onigumo?, I just know they have something planned, I mean why should you and I have to go to this dinner tonight?, what's the purpose of us being there?" he said as he drove.
“Your right." Koharu said "Its defiantly not out of the kindness of their hearts."
"So just be on guard ok." he said as he stopped in font a store. "I'll be right back." he told her and got out the car. After Hiten went in the store. Koharu called Kagome on her cell phone.
"Hello." Kagome said wrapping her hair in a towel.
"Kags it’s me Haru." Koharu said.
"Yeah Haru what’s up?" Kagome said.
"I don't know what's going on, but I think Sesshoumaru and Naraku have something planned tonight for Hiten, and not in a good way. because he's friends with Yasha and Oni." she told her.
"Oh no not again." Kagome said "I'll keep my eyes open and say something if I think some things up."
"Thanks, I'll see you there." Koharu told her and hung up. Kagome sighed. Kagome blow dried her hair and went and put her dress on, she picked up her shoes and went downstairs Shiori was sitting on the couch, waiting patiently.
"Shiori where's he at?" Kagome asked her.
Shiori pointed behind her as she dangled her feet from the couch and swung her legs back and fourth.
Sesshoumaru walked out the kitchen with his cell in his hand. " I just talked to Inuyasha, Shippo is with him , I told him to keep Shippo overnight and take him to school in the morning, and I'll pick him up after school." he told Kagome.
"Ok, well let's go then." she said as she put her shoes on.
"You know I hope Hiten and Koharu get married, they are so sweet to each other." she said as she took Shiori's hand.
“C'mon Shi" She said as she began walking away.
"Not after tonight." Sesshomaru said
"Shit." Kagome thought, she needed to find her cell phone or Koharu which ever came quicker.
Hiten arrived at the Tashio mansion, he saw Naraku's car in the driveway. Hiten became tense. Koharu noticed it. "Hiten look we can just leave now." Koharu told him.
“Okay lets go." Hiten said as they began walking back to their car headlights blinded them "Shit." Hiten cursed as he saw Sesshoumaru's car pull up next to theirs.
"Too late." he said to her.
"What do they have on you?" Koharu asked him. Hiten looked at her.
"A lot." was all he said.
"Do I know about it?" She asked.
"Not everything." he said as Kagome got out the car. Koharu looked at him.
"What have you done?" she asked him.
As he was getting ready to speak Shiori ran up to the couple.
“Auntie Haru, Uncle Hiten." Shiori yelled as she met them.
"Hey cutie," Hiten said as he picked her up. "Your looking more and more like your sis everyday." Hiten said. Shiori smiled.
"Where's Maten-kun?" Shiori asked him.
Kagome and Sesshomaru walked over to them, Sesshomaru smirking all the while where Kagome was motioning for Koharu to come away with her to talk.
"I'll be right back." Koharu said. and kissed him on the cheek.
"Kags nice dress." Koharu said as she walked over to her. Kagome and Koharu walked behind as Hiten and Sesshoumaru walked towards the house. "Something is going to happen Haru." Kagome said to her.
"I know, I just wish I knew what." Koharu said sadly. "I know Hiten never cheated on me, at least I hope he didn't she said as they followed the men and Shiori in the house.
"Its something to break you to up." Kagome said
"I have a feeling on my gut."
"I won't break up with him, no matter what. I love him." Koharu said. Shiori was playing with Narkau's and Alean's baby. "Hijiri is so cute." Shiori said. as the baby boy smiled at her.
"Well soon you'll have a baby in your home." Alean said.
Hiten walked over to Naraku and Sesshoumaru. "Whatever you have planned leave Koharu out of it." he said to them.
"What would be the fun in that?' Naraku asked, as Yue entered the room
" Sesshoumaru, Naraku longtime no see." he said as he walked over to them. Hiten looked at Yue.
"Yue what brings you back to Japan?" Hiten asked him.
"Three cheers for sweet revenge." Yue said now turning to Hiten "I see they are still out to ruin lives."
"Don't do it their is a child and baby here." Hiten said to them. Koharu walked away from Kagome and over to Hiten. "You must be Sesshoumaru's cousin." she said. Yue looked at her.
"Such beauty, your mate Hiten?" Yue asked.
"Yes, hopefully it stays that way." Hiten said
"Naraku I hear you now have a child, a half-breed in fact, I was under the impression you hated humans." Yue said. "Hiten let's go see if we can help Kagome in the kitchen." Koharu said pulling him away.
"Yes but we all make exceptions." Naraku said
"And dear cousin, you as well, you have changed. don't worry I'll keep and eye on her at school." he said.
As long as it’s just an eye." Sesshomaru said "You don't want to loose anything vital."
"No, I'm not like Naraku I would never go after my cousin's girl. by the way where is Onigumo?" Yue asked Naraku.
"Who knows, I don't tract trash." Naraku said
"Then how do you keep track of your mate." Yue asked
"What did you say?" Naraku growled.
Sesshoumaru's dad came in the room and could feel the tension in the room.
"Boys is there a problem here?"
"You heard me I’m not that same little boy anymore." Yue said to Naraku before shaking his head at his uncle and walking away to the kitchens.
"I'm warning you two now, leave Yue alone." his dad said walking over to them.
"I have no intentions of dealing with him." Sesshoumaru said.
"Now Naraku that's a different story." he said
"Naraku" He growled "Leave him alone he was only stating the obvious considering the situation"
Naraku didn't say anything. "Now come on dinner is ready." Inutashio said to the two.
"We'll be right there. Sesshoumaru said. his dad nodded his head, but before leaving he said.
" Remember your dad and I are good friends Naraku."
"Did your dad just threaten me and insult my mate?" Naraku asked.
"Seems that way, but you did call Alean a whore in the hospital when you first saw Hijiri." Sesshoumaru stated.
"Yeah what can I say easy girls are not hard to come by." Naraku said laughing.
"So let it go, Hiten is the problem tonight, do you want to start or should I?" Sesshoumaru asked him as they walked into the other room where everyone was .
"When ever the opportunity knocks we will knock hard" Naraku said
Naraku sat down next to Alean, he noticed his son wasn't there. Sesshoumaru sat down next to Kagome. "Where's Hijiri?" Naraku asked her.
"Oh, Mrs. Tashio let me take him upstairs he was sleepy." she told him
"That’s a good girl" Naraku said, and Kagome almost got sick at the way he treated her as if she was a dog.
" So Hiten with all your friends having babies, are you and Koharu next on the list?" Inutashio asked him.
"Or is he already on that list with another girl." Naraku commented
Hiten looked at Sesshoumaru and Naraku.
"No sir, maybe after she graduates and Queen of hearts are established. of course I have to ask her dad for permission." he said
"Unlike some people I know." he said.
Koharu and Kagome tried to stifle their laughter but as they eyed each other they both bursted out even Yue was smirking and Mr. Tashio cracked a smile. "Girls" Mrs Tashio chided, hiding her smile with a handkerchief.
"Kagome where is Shippo,? I was hurt to see my little grandson, not here." Mrs Tashio asked.
"Oh he wanted to stay with my best friend Inuyasha, you remember him."
"More like Inuyasha's little sister." Koharu said.
"Oh, he has crush already, how cute, Mrs. Tashio cooed, Shiori do you like anyone?" Mrs. Tashio asked her.
"Uh huh" Shiori said as she looked at Hiten.
"Maten-kun he's my boyfriend"
"My two grand kids in love, Inutashio said. "Yue what about you a old girlfriend back home?" he asked his nephew.
“No but I have my eye on someone" Yue said his smile Kagome knew was meant for her.
Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome. "Hiten what was the name of that girl you meant at Naraku's parent's summer home?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
Hiten dropped his fork.
"I think it was that same girl at your fathers Christmas party wasn't it Sesshomaru?" Hiten said.
"No, no this girl had blue eyes and black hair she looked like a more mature Koharu." he said back.
"Oh I could have sworn that was Naraku with her." Hiten said
"No I remember her, Koharu was at home and you couldn't take your eyes off of her, you said Koharu wouldn't find out." Naraku commented. Kagome took Shiori out the room.
"Aww my friend your mistaken maybe you were having an out of body experience" Hiten said as he reached for Koharu's hand.
Naraku smiled." Come now friend no need to be shy we all saw you go inside the house with her." Naraku said. Kagome came back in the room.
"Sesshoumaru please don't." she pleaded.
Hiten squeezed Koharu's hand "Oh but my friend at that time we were on a break and I could have sworn you two and your mates were active but who were the women you two headed into the house with?"
"You see Alean he has cheated on Kagura before, so don't be surprise if he does this with you and as for Sesshoumaru well he was with Kayami at the time, so he didn't cheat on you Kagome." Hiten said.
“But give it time" Yue said
Sesshoumaru glared at him. Sesshoumaru parent's looked at Naraku and Sesshoumaru.
" You cheated on Kayami?" his mom asked him.
"I did, she wasn't my mate, But what Hiten did is different." he said
“At least I don't put my hands on my mate!" Hiten said
Naraku and Sesshoumaru glared at him. " Really at least I don't have a child besides the one with my mate!"
Sesshoumaru yelled. Hiten looked at him as did Koharu.
"I was young." Hiten said "Don't blame Maten for this."
"What!, Manten is your child?" Koharu said with sadness in her voice.
"I was going to tell you." Hiten said "No one else knows.”
"When Hiten?, she said as tears started to form in her eyes. Hiten looked at Sesshoumaru and Naraku.
"I asked you to leave her out of this. I told you to punish me not her." he said.
" Sesshoumaru, Naraku how could you." Both Kagome and Alean said.
"Your mated to monsters there’s only four ways out." Yue said "He lets you go, you die, he dies, or a male in the family of your mate wants you."
"Enough!" Inutashio yelled. "What the hell has gotten into you three!?, you three are the best of friends, what is all of this, turning on each other?, and Yue go upstairs." Inutashio said to him.
"Uncle" Yue said "Please I have not said my peace yet they have tormented me for almost 16 years."
"Go now!" he growled leaving no room for argument. Yue grumbled to himself and smirked at Sesshoumaru and Naraku. Once he was out the room. Inutashio turned his attention back to the young adults.
"Answers now!" he said to Hiten and the rest of them.
“I was 13." Hiten said. "She was 14 we messed around she got pregnant, she had the baby and gave it up for adoption my parents fought for custody and soon the custody of Manten will be given to me."
"I see." Inutashio said.
"But that doesn't explain why you three are at each other's throats, and what is this about putting hands on mates?" he asked.
Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru.
She began to stand and walk away when she was caught.
"Kagome sit." Mrs. Tashio said.
Kagome sat down and bowed her head. "Yes ma’am" She said
"Did you do what I think you did?" Inutashio asked him.
“It depends on what you think." Sesshomaru said
" Want to play it that way?, did you hit her?" he growled.
"Yes but only once." Sesshomaru said
"A day." Hiten said" She has scars to prove it."
Inutashio turned to Kagome, "Why haven't you said anything?" he asked her.
Inutashio could smell the fear rolling off Kagome.
"I couldn't" Kagome said
"You couldn't?, I see. Now since I know this, things will change." he said. " Sesshoumaru you're my son and I love you, but what you have done is wrong, I will not move her out the house yet, since I know that a pup needs to sense it's father. But make no mistake if I hear that she has been hit or in the hospital for any other reason than her pregnancy you will be sorry." he told him
"Yes sir." Sesshomaru said
"Kagome." InuTashio said
"Yes sir" She said
"Why didn't you tell us? "He asked
"I have kids to take care of" Kagome said" I have a band that needs me to get started and if I would have told you or anybody they would suffer."
“And I saw how Kagura and Koharu were treated , so I thought it was how things were." she said. Naraku glared at her.
"Oh so what is this the mate beaters club." He growled "Wait till your fathers hear about this."
"Please no." Koharu said "Hiten's not like that he doesn't touch me anymore and he only did because of your son and Naraku not on his own."
"They doesn't excuse Naraku, I'll be seeing you dad tomorrow anyway." he said.
"We're not kids how is what we did, any different from what you and my dad did to your mates?" Naraku asked him.
"My mate wasn't human and I did not beat her for petty things, back then it was legal and I was wrong and my mate has forgiven me but now it is illegal."
"Neither was Kagura." Sesshoumaru said.
"I haven't laid a hand on Alean." Naraku told him. Alean looked at Naraku.
"You were going to." Inutashio said
"Dad please." Kagome said. "Sesshomaru hasn't hit me in a while."
"That’s not true." Shiori said coming back into the room "Grandpa he was going to hit her today." she said as tears began to fall down her face just like last time when me and Shippo were in the car, but this time Gome told me not to tell Shippo."
"How long has this been going on?" Inutashio asked. Sakura looked at Sesshoumaru.
“As long as we've been together." Kagome said sadly
"Sesshoumaru we raised you better than this, how could you?" his mom asked.
"I'm sorry mom, it won't happen again." he said.
"That is not a good enough answer." Inutashio said "I do not know if we can chance that, next thing he will be putting his hands on the children or worse he will make Kagome lose the baby."
" I would never hurt my children I have been nothing but careful since she told me she was pregnant, and I would never hit Shiori or Shippo." he said now standing up. He looked at Hiten.
"Do not look at him!" his father yelled" This is your own damn fault the only other person you can blame is Naraku, because he has helped you lose everything as of now Kagome and the children live here."
"What!, you can't do that, you just said a pup needs to be near his father." he growled.
“Not when his father can not take care of the pups mother!." Inutashio said "The pup will turn on you, it knows you are the cause of its mothers discomfort."
Naraku looked at him. Sesshoumaru was pissed. he looked at Kagome, then back at his dad. "How long?" he asked his dad.
"As long as it takes." His father answered "You are welcome here at anytime but you will not be left alone with Kagome until I say so."
"Really, what about her contract, she has to rehearse, and dad you have no say over Tashio Inc, that belongs to me." he said.
"Yes the company belongs to you but the owner belongs to me." Inutashio said "She will have an escort, and I think Yue will do nicely."
"No!, he growled. He will not go near my mate, her driver will be her escort." he said
"Hojo is to weak to protect her." Inutashio said "It will be Yue."
"I said no, he will not be allowed in the building." he said.
" Sess maybe you better stop." Naraku and Hiten said.
"He will or the Queen of hearts will find another place of employment and I have connections." Inutashio said
"Don't you dare mess with their careers." Hiten said to Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru growled." He touches her I will kill him." he said
“You touch him and you will not be welcomed here or around your family." Inutashio said
"Of course you take his side, your precious Yue, fine let him come." he said.
Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome. "I'm going home I'll send their clothes here”. he said.
"Sess-" Kagome began but Sesshomaru cut her off.
"Don't." Sesshomaru said sadly as he walked away.
"Go get Hijiri." Naraku told Alean.
Alean got up and went to get their son. Naraku looked at Hiten .
" Are you happy now?" Naraku said and walked out the room.
‘No." Hiten said "Your not the only one with problems, you have ruined my relationship as well as my sons."
" I love him." Kagome said to Inutashio and Sakura.
"I believe time away from you will change him." Inutashio said.
"I hope so." Kagome said as she felt the tears well up in her eyes.
