Simple Words

Chapter 6 - Fear

By Golden Fire Goddess

The roars of drunks, the clanging of glasses, the loud annoying giggles of whores surrounded Naraku. The man was enjoying what seemed to be his fifth Jack Daniel but he looked to be stone cold sober. But then again appearances can be deceiving. Kikyo came quietly up next to him. She hugged him and those with a trained eye could believe that she had given him a quick grope.

"Kikyo, m'dear, what could be the problem?"

"Inu-Yasha has made no moves to do anything, in fact the last person to really see him out in the last three weeks was Kagura, and that was when they last fought. I'm starting to think that this plan of your will not come into effect."

"Do not worry about that. I planted fake information in your file along the way, including that little lie that you told Inu-Yasha. No one will be the wiser." Not far away from the purely evil being, Jaken sat listening. He dared not move any closer to Naraku in fear of being caught. Yet the thought that this information may prove to be much more useful to Sessho-maru than any that he had found before hand.

"I don't know Naraku. I still think that there are some flaws in your plans, but I have yet to find any. But something keeps nagging at the back of my mind that something is amiss."

"Do not worry, love. My plan will ensure that Inu-Yasha participates and we will be able to have fun with the whole lot of them. The only other thing that this plan demands is that we be patient. As I said before, we'd be able to play with all of them including that simpleton Kouga."

"Alright, I know the part of the plan that makes the fools become participants, but I want to know the rest of it. What will we do to make them come out of their little holes? That is what I think will be the most interesting and time consuming. What is it that you will use as bait?" Jaken upon hearing the description of what was being planned shuddered. He understood now that this little thing that Naraku and Kikyo had planned was going to be very dangerous and he was thankful for the tape recorder that was hidden upon his person. The information was going to be very useful for any future cases or anything that might come up that it could be used s evidence.

"We'll use something that is close to him that will make him come to us faster. Once we get that one thing that makes the most difference, he and the others will come to us rather easily. Then even that idiot's older brother and that annoying lawyer of his wouldn't be able to help him" Laughter surrounded Naraku's last statement. Jaken froze.

'They're talking about Inu-Yasha's woman!' Although Jaken really didn't care much about Kagome, he personally preferred her over Kikyo. The girl even acted like he was a real person, unlike the bitch who was sitting near him.

"Is that it to your plan? I know that you must have more up your sleeve that befits your usual plans to be rid of them."

"Well now that you mentioned it…"

Meanwhile -

Inu-Yasha carefully looked out the window of the room that he occupied while laying low from anything that Kikyo and Naraku might have planned. He watched the calm street down below. Occasionally a car would pass by. Finally, unable to watch the world pass him by any longer Inu-Yasha turned and looked at his prison for a moment. The room itself was ornately decorated, beautifully. A canopy bed that was covered in gauzy material, a hand - crafted wooden dresser and desk, a Louis XIV looking glass, two nightstands flanked the bed. He sighed.

Right now his feelings and other emotions were constantly at war. It got him confused and he found himself becoming a recluse to his room more than often, mostly just to avoid confrontation from the others. It seemed safer, that way he didn't attack any of the others. Mostly though he did it for Kagome's sake and he really didn't feel like getting into a fight with her. But he missed her sorely when she was away like she was today.

'Kagome, I hope she doesn't run into any trouble. But then again, she is with Rin so there really isn't anything that I need to worry about.' This was apart of the plan, Inu-Yasha, Kagome, and Shippo would stay with Sessho-maru and his family. Miroku and Sango would go and stay somewhere out of the way.

Standing in the middle of his room, just listening to the quiet, Inu-Yasha sighed again. He finally felt that the quiet was too much for him to handle. Inu-Yasha made his way to the door. Once in the hallway, he found that the quiet followed him and he looked around. No one seemed to be around, but he knew that it wasn't so. The servants were every where in the house, but he had never really seen one.

Inu-Yasha started down the enormous hallway to check on Shippo. He hadn't seen the kid around for a while, but then again he had almost taken his frustration out on him.

Everybody was sitting in the garden just relaxing. Or trying to for that matter. The day was warm and the breeze that stole across the garden was comfortable. Birds argued back and forth over something that no one could understand. Rin and Reiko were swinging back and forth on the large swing, just enjoying the shade. Sessho-maru was sitting at the glass table reading the many folders and portfolios that lay in a pile before him. Kagome and Shippo were walking about looking at the many plants that made their home in the expansive garden. Inu-Yasha was pacing and thinking.

'Kikyo, what happened with you? Why do you bother me so? Why is it that you can not move on with your life and leave me to my own? Do you hate me this much?' Bitterly Inu-Yasha snorted and thought of the first time that he had met Kikyo…

Inu-Yasha and Sessho-maru and Rin were at a club. Dancing and drinking surrounded them and none of them really cared. They were having their own fun. Sessho-maru and Rin would at times get up and dance, then come and sit by Inu-Yasha. They would talk and tease one another for a bit. Then Sessho-maru and Rin would get back up and start to dance again. That's when she showed up.

The door flew open and in stepped Kikyo. Everybody stopped what they were doing just to stare at her. Everyone that is except Inu-Yasha, Sessho-maru, and Rin. She must have noticed this because the next thing Inu-Yasha knew a woman just sat down next to him and she stared at him.

"Hey there, what's your name?" She seemed to be drunk and Inu-Yasha just ignored her. Not to be ignored, Kikyo spun his seat around and made him look at her. Not really knowing what to do, Inu-Yasha just watched her carefully.

Again she repeated her question, but to no avail.

Inu-Yasha just shook his head and said, "My mommy said never to talk to strange women." Kikyo just stared at him for a moment before bursting out laughing. She was laughing so hard that tears came to her eyes.

"Your MOMMY said not to talk to strange women! Okay junior let's see what else you're not going to do, because your mommy said so." Inu-Yasha understanding that his beloved mother had just been bashed let out a low and dangerous growl. After giving her the so to speak non-verbal warning, he turned his chair and faced the bar again. But Kikyo was not to be outdone and ignored any more. She turned his chair to face her again and took hold of Inu-Yasha's face. She was surprised to see anger in there, but she looked closer at his features instead. What she saw, she must have liked because the next thing that Inu-Yasha knew was that she was kissing him full on the lips. Unsure of what to do, Inu-Yasha just stayed put and waited until she was finished. That's when Sessho-maru decided that he was going to interrupt.

"What are you doing to my brother woman?" He asked although Inu-Yasha was sure that he already knew.

"Seducing him is what I am doing; he is the only available man that has ever ignored me. I am intrigued."

"Woman, you are obviously drunk out of your mind. If any rational thought ever existed in your head I suggest you use it now." Kikyo slowly stood and looked straight into Sessho-maru's eyes.

"I'll be back to see your little brother. And then I will not leave his side unless he wishes it. And even then I won't leave him." She smirked and left. But not until she had pinched Sessho-maru's ass. He started to growl; all the while Inu-Yasha was trying desperately to understand what had happened.

Inu-Yasha frowned to himself.

'Well she made good on that promise. Or was it a threat? God that woman is so annoying. I'm so glad that I've got Kagome.' The thought of Kagome always being by his side was just enough to start to lighten his mood, that is until Shippo decided that it was time to break the silence.

"Kagome, what do you think will happen now that Inu-Yasha is a dad? I mean, will he stay with us or will he go back to Kikyo? I mean she is the mother and all, right?" Kagome gave Shippo a startled look and blinked slowly before turning to Inu-Yasha. He knew that she could not answer for him, and was waiting for him to answer.

"Are you stupid, runt? Of coarse I'm gonna stay with you guys. What do you think I am, nuts? I HATE KIKYO, REMEMBER?!" The look that Shippo was giving Inu-Yasha was getting on his nerves. By that time, everybody was watching what was going on, Sessho-maru couldn't help but smile. He knew that the kid would be in deep trouble if he kept bothering his brother about the very topic that was annoying him and everyone else.

"Stop giving me that look Shippo. I'm telling the truth." Inu-Yasha couldn't believe it. He was explaining himself to the kid the twentieth time this week!

"I don't believe you" With that simple statement said, Inu-Yasha lost it. He growled threateningly and started advancing towards Shippo. The kid gulped and began to run for his life.

Once he saw Shippo take off, Inu-Yasha ran right after him. Sessho-maru started to chuckle. When his wife and his brother's woman gave him a look of confusion, he cleared his throat.

"It seems the kid has been bothering him about that all week. As you all probably have heard, Inu-Yasha has been answering the same questions that he is being presented with not only himself, but by others as well. I think that it has worn his patience thin, so I am not surprised that he is chasing young Shippo."

After that he and Shippo were separated and, although, it was just one person that he wouldn't have to answer to about what he was gong to do. He knew that he at least needed to answer to Kagome. He smiled at the thought of her. He had noticed that she was also giving him some space. Thinking about that, Inu-Yasha once again felt as if he was lonely and he really just couldn't put a place or a name to the pain that he was starting to feel in his heart. With that in mind, Inu-Yasha went to look for someone to talk to.

'I'd even be happy to see Jaken right about now.' Thinking about the little toad, he realized that he had not seen the annoying little shrimp in a while. Before he knew it, he was in front of the entertainment room. With a sigh, he entered and looked at all the things that Sessho-maru was able to provide for his family. Just as he was sitting down to watch Lara Croft Tomb Raider he heard a loud crash and a high pitched screech.

'Well that solves the mystery of where the toad is.' he thought to himself with a smile. He opened the door to have Jaken run right into him. Jaken looked up at him and started to squawk and say things in such a manner that only a psychic would be able to understand what the hell he was trying to say. Inu-Yasha knowing enough about the toad attempted to calm him and get him to stop squawking and say everything again, but much slower. To no avail, no less.

"Relax brother; he must have heard something that will greatly help us if he is squawking like that. Though I must say that I thought his communication skills to be better than he is showing right now." Inu-Yasha and Sessho-maru looked slightly amused at the glare they were receiving from the midget toad. Instead of saying anything like the taller and better looking demons were expecting him to do, he rose and dusted himself off and looked them both in the eyes.

"Let's go to a room where prying ears can not hear what it is I have to say." The looks of shock from Inu-Yasha and Sessho-maru were priceless and he would have given anything for a camera at that moment. Once in a sound proof room, Jaken told them everything that he had heard and having them listen to the tape that everything was recorded on. The looks of Inu-Yasha and Sessho-maru were enough to make him wish desperately for another pair of pants. To say that they were angry, infuriated, or just plain pissed off is an understatement. Their eyes began to glow red and their auras became way too menacing for any one like Jaken to be able to withstand. With a full wish to keep his life, he ran as fast as he could.

"You know I think we just shortened his life by a thousand years little brother." Looking over at his brother, Sessho-maru noticed that Inu-Yasha had not heard him and was beginning to transform.

'Shit! This can not happen.' Sessho-maru looked around the room for something, just anything to smash over his brother's head. He opted for the chair.

Wham!

"OW! What' cha do that for? Hey where the hell is Jaken?" Inu-Yasha couched the rather large lump on his head. Sessho-maru looked down at him, threw the remains of the chair to the side and sighed.

"Yes, I know that hurt, but I did it for everyone's sanity… mostly my own. You were transforming and we pretty much scared the living shit out of Jaken. I think right now that he is hiding or changing his pants or both." A look of amusement flashed across Sessho-maru's face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Rin, wait up! You know I am not as fast as you are!" Kagome ran to try to catch up with a raven haired woman. They were leaving what seemed to the grounds of a rather large shrine.

"Hurry up Kagome. The driver does not wait all day even though it is his job to do so."

"Okay Rin, let's hurry before anything happens. I think I understand why that driver of yours leaves early. He's under orders from Sessho-maru, that's why. Fluffy is protecting you even when he is not around you."

"Maybe, but that still doesn't explain why once, the driver left without me. I mean, I was only a minute longer than I usually am. But he still let without me!"

"Did you call Fluffy?"

"Yeah I did. But the funny thing was that he wasn't even angry. Not even when he came and got me."

"What happened when he got you?"

"He brought me somewhere romantic. That's about it."

"He brought you somewhere romantic and that's all you have to say about it?!"

"Well just one thing. I did come home with a little gift."

"What was it?"

"Reiko." Rin said with a smile in her face. Looking at Kagome, she had to laugh. The poor girl looked shocked.

"That was a little too much information that I did not need to know." That only made Rin laugh harder.

"Don't tell me that you and Inu-Yasha haven't -"

"No, when do you think that we would have been able to? If it's not Miroku and Sango, then it's got to be Shippo. No privacy at times though. But I appreciate it, I know that he cares for me and just doesn't want me for my body. You know?"

"Yeah, I do. But I think that you underestimate his heart. Yes he does care for you, but he loves you and by saying that he just cares for you is not doing him justice."

"I guess, but he rarely shows it."

"Don't worry, he will."

"Hey ladies, are you going to stand around all day? The boss wanted you both back as soon as you were done with whatever you had to do at this shrine." Both women laughed at the driver's obvious disdain at making his boss wait for them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Pulling into the driveway, Rin and Kagome were greeted by a smirking Sessho-maru and a glowering Inu-Yasha.

"What's up with Inu-Yasha?" Kagome inquired.

"He started to transform. That reminds me, Rin we need a new chair for the sound proof room."

"Why do we need a new, dear?"

"Well…"

"He fricken smacked me over the head with the damn thing to get me out of the transformation."

"So that's why you look so grumpy."

"Feh."

"Alright, we have something that we think that you both should hear." With said, Sessho-maru turned and walked into the house followed by everyone else.

AN: Well that's it for this chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it and that you will review with any questions, comments, or suggestions. I will accept flames, but I only ask that you do not swear at me. Please and thank you. If you wish for me to integrate something into this story, please let me know and I'll be happy to comply. As a closing note, I am now on both Fanfiction.net and Mediaminer.org. I have the same name so it does not get confusing for those trying to find me. But just a side note, on FFN, this story is PG-13 where on MMO it is NC-17. I will be posting different versions of the chapters with the lemons for each.
