Can't tell

ch 14 I still love you


Kagome moved into Naraku’s home a week later. Kagura had moved back into her own home. Kanna seemed to be happy with having Kagome living there, She was getting use to living in her temporarily new home.
Naraku would only really talk to Kagome during a meal or if it was about her pregnancy. Most of her time was spent either at work or spending time with Kanna.

“Kagome.” Naraku said as he walked into the room that she was in.
“Yes Naraku?” she said as she closed the book she was reading.
“I have a business party that I have to attend this Friday.” She looked at Naraku.
“What does that have to do with me?” she asked him.
“I would like you to come along with me. The company is Celestial Goddess.” He said.
Kagome’s eyes lit up. “Really Celestial Goddess I love their products.” She told him.
“Then I take that as a yes that you will join me Friday?” he asked.
Kagome looked at him
“What can I wear? I mean my stomach is sticking out?” she said with a pout.
“Yeas I know Friday make s a month, I’ll tell you what take my credit card and call Kagura and go shopping for a gown.” He told her as he handed her his credit card.
“Why are you being so nice to me?” se asked him.
“I told you before that I would do anything for you.” Naraku told her.
She smiled a little at him. “Ok well promise me that you won’t leave me alone at the party.” She said to him.
“I promise.” Naraku told her and left her to return to her reading.
The following day Kagome went out with Kagura and Kanna. She picked out some gowns and took them into the dressing room to change into the dresses were beautiful but were too revealing for her growing baby bump.
“Find anything that you like?” Kagura asked her through the door.
“No my stomach is too big.” Kagome told her.
“Let’s try another store and maybe we’ll have better luck and if not we’ll have Naraku make some calls.” Kagura told her.
Kagome changed back into her clothes and left the store with Kagura and Kanna.
Kagura took Kagome to a maternity store where Kagome picked out a dark blue dress

With cap sleeves, A scoop neckline. The dress was a nice fit, even though her stomach was sticking out, she had learned from Naraku that a demon baby pregnancy would only last for, four months’ five at the most.
She looked at herself in the mirror. “This will have to do.” She said.
Kagome took the dress off and put her clothes back on and came out the dressing room.
“Do you like it?” Kagura asked her.
“Yeah I do.” She told her.
“Good now all you need is some shoes and a purse.” Kagura told her as they walked to the front of the store and handed the sales lady the dress and Naraku’s credit card.
The dress came to $900.00, The sales lady handed Kagome the dress and the females walked out the store and went and brought some shoes and a purse.
Kagura drove Kagome and Kanna back to Naraku’s home and left.
Kagome walked in the house with Kanna behind her and, she placed the dress on the back of a chair and put the shoes and purse on the floor next to it.
“Mommy are you going somewhere with Daddy?” Kanna asked her.
“Well you Daddy has asked me to join him for a dinner Friday.” Kagome told her.
“What kind of dinner?” Kanna asked as Kagome sat down on the sofa.
“Well I think a dinner where different business owners like your daddy get together and talk.” She told her.
Kanna scrunched her nose. “Sounds boring.” She told Kagome.
Kagome smiled at her. “Probably is.” Kagome admitted.
“Well I’m going and play for a while.” Kanna told her and hugged her, and placed a kiss on her growing stomach. And ran off in the direction of the pool.
Kagome sat down on the sofa and relaxed, she looked over at her dress. She sighed. She really needed to talk to her mom.
Naraku came in the house to see Kagome was laying down on the sofa asleep. He carefully walked over to her and bent down and looked at her face.
She looked so peaceful and calm, Naraku picked her up and carried her upstairs and took her to his bedroom and laid her down on the bed and left.
While Kagome slept, Naraku took the time to go into the bedroom next to his. The room was larger and painted cream. The room would become the nursery for his new baby.
He had a few more things he needed to do far as Kagome went.
Kagome awoke sometime later. She felt so comfortable in the bed. She sat up in the bed as best as she could and looked around the room looked very familiar.
“What the I’m in Naraku’s bedroom.” She growled.
He came out the soon to be nursery and opened his door to a very angry Kagome.

“What the hell am I doing in your room?!”
“Now, now there is no need to scratch my eyes out.” He said as he walked over to her cautiously and sat down beside her on the bed.

“To answer your earlier question I carried you up, I was surprised to find you weren’t too heavy.” He said making Kagome’s anger rise.
Kagome narrowed her eyes.
“I wouldn’t be this big if you had left me alone!” she yelled.

“Did you buy yourself a dress?” he asked her changing the subject.
“Yes I did.”
“Good.” He said as he got up from the bed. “Tell me do you have any idea what the nursery should look like?” he asked her.
“I haven’t thought about it.” She said as she got off the bed.
She walked over to where Naraku was looking at himself in the mirror.
She touched her stomach. “Naraku do you want to put the baby in your name?”
“If you so wish it, besides I have some papers I need you to sign.” He said to her.
She looked up at him. “Papers?” She asked.
“Just some papers so the child after all it would be one of my heirs and I want to insure his or hers future.” He told her.
“Oh ok.” She said to him. Looking at him once more before she left the room.
Naraku smiled, one more thing and Kagome’s fate would be sealed.

The Day of the Dinner Party
Kagome was snaking on an apple when Naraku walked up behind her scaring her.
“Damn it Naraku! , You scared me.” She said placing her hand over her chest.
“So sorry my pet, I just wanted you to sign these papers so I can send them to my lawyer.” He said to her.
Kagome put her apple down and took the papers from him. “Do you have a pen?” she asked.
Naraku handed her the pen and watched as she signed the papers without reading them. Kagome handed the now signed papers back to Naraku. He took the papers and walked back to his office and faxed them to his lawyer.

Kagome dressed that night for the party. She pulled her hair into a bun and took one last look at herself before going downstairs. To wait for Naraku.
When Naraku came down, he walked over to her. She had to admit that he looked good.
Where did that thought come from?” she asked herself.
“Must be the hormones?” she said.
“You look lovely Kagome.” He said to her.
“Thank you.” She said.
Kagome put her arm through his arm and the two left and got into the limo and drove to the hotel.


Sesshoumaru arrived at the Midnight Hotel with Kaguya as his date she was dressed in a red short dress. Her lips were painted blood red.
“Sess I’m glad that we could come together.” She purred.
“Kaguya I am only doing this for the company.” He said in a cold voice.
The two greeted the other companies. Sesshoumaru was drinking champagne when in walked Naraku and Kagome. He put his glass down and growled.
Kagome sat down in a chair at a nearby table, while Naraku went to get her something to drink.
Sess took the moment to walk over to her. Kagome looked up to see Sesshoumaru looking at her.

“What are you doing here little Miko?”
“Sessho, what are you doing here?” she asked.
“I asked you first?” he said with a slight grin.
“Naraku invited me here said that Celestial Goddess company invited him and you know me I love their products.” She said.
“Yes I know.” He said.
“How are you doing?” he asked as he sat down in the seat next to hers.
“I’m okay I moved out my apartment.” She told him.
“Where are you staying now?” he asked as he took her small hand in his.
“With Naraku.”
“With Naraku why?”
“Because I..I don’t know he wanted to help me out and I didn’t want to bother you, you have your own life as does Sango, Miroku and Inu.”
“I told you to come to me if you needed anything.” Sesshoumaru said to her.
Kagome got ready to respond when Naraku came back with her drink.
“You.” Sesshoumaru growled.
“Ah Sesshoumaru long time no see.” Naraku taunted.
Sesshoumaru stood up.
“You bastard.” Sesshoumaru said.
Kagome looked at the two male demons.
“Sessho please not here.” Kagome said to him.
Naraku smirked, he went to hand Kagome the glass of punch. Sesshoumaru grabbed it out of his hand and gave it to Kagome.

Kaguya walked over to the three, eyeing Naraku.
“Sess there you’re I’ve been looking all over for you.” She said as she brushed up against him.
“You must be Naraku Taro. I love your club Spider web.” She said to him.
Naraku watched Kaguya carefully. “ I read that you were single but it seems you’re not.” She said now looking at Kagome.
“He is.” Sesshoumaru said grabbing Kagome by the arm and walking away.
Kaguya moved to stand next to Naraku.
“So how is your little project going?” she asked Naraku.
“Very well she signed papers today. Naive girl didn’t even read them.” He told her.
“Hmm she’s a fool, even I would read a paper if i were signing something that had to do with you.” She said.
“And how is your project going?” Naraku asked.
“Well he’s still in love with her as you can see.” She hissed.

“Do not worry Kaguya. She won’t be a problem much longer.” Naraku told her.
“What do you have planned?” She asked him.
“You’ll just have to wait and see.” He said with a smile.

---

Sesshoumaru had taken Kagome out of the room. When he knew they were alone he let her hand go.
“Sess what are you doing?” she asked him.
“Kagome I don’t know I just had to get out that room, how can you stand to live with him?”
“I just do, not many options left, and I like his daughter.” She told him.
“Have you told your mother?” he asked her.
“No, I’m afraid to, of what she’ll say.”
“Leave him Kagome, stay with me. I don’t trust him.” Sesshoumaru told her.
“And where will I go Sess? , I don’t have an apartment anymore.”
“Stay with me.” He said.
“What?!” she said
“Stay with me I’ll help you with the baby, take care of you and if you want that bastard to be there when the baby is born so be it.” He told her.
She looked at him. “What about your date?”
“She ‘s not a date we just came here together there is only one woman I care for.” He told her.
She smiled at him.
Sesshoumaru looked at her. He still loved her. He had a bad feeling that she just wasn’t safe.
“Let me think about it.” She told Sesshoumaru. He nodded his head.
He walked over to her and kissed her on her forehead. He stepped back and looked at her.

“I still Love you.” He told her as he caressed her face and touched her stomach, and for the first time the baby kicked. Kagome was just as surprised as he was.
“That’s the first time the baby has kicked.” She said with a smile.
“Maybe the baby likes me.” He said touching her stomach again, as the baby moved around in her, seeming to calm at Sesshoumaru’s touch.
“I’ll take you back inside.” He told her taking her hand in his.
When the two walked in they parted ways, and Kagome walked back over to Naraku.
“Did you have a nice chat?” he asked.
Kagome didn’t answer him. She was thinking of what Sesshoumaru offered her.

When the party ended Kagome left with Naraku glancing once more at Sess. The ride home was quiet. When they arrived back at Naraku’s home. She told Naraku Goodnight and went to bed.
