Kagome paled and then gasped. She watched as she fucked the hell out of Sesshomaru and then she reached over and stopped the video.

“So, that smart-ass security guard and his buddy got to see us screwing? When did you find out?” She demanded, her face still quite red.

Sesshomaru shrugged. “He informed me that day he came to my office. Think nothing of it, my Kagome. He is very quiet about private matters and won’t speak about this to anyone, and neither will his partner.” He said, his tone bored.

Kagome took in a deep breath and slowly let it out. How humiliating. She glanced over at her lover and rolled her eyes when she saw that he was smirking.

“Oh, so I guess that you are proud of yourself, aren’t you?” She demanded, her eyes sparking angrily.

Sesshomaru shrugged. “Kagome, we have nothing to be ashamed about. Besides, I have the only copy of the tape and if it makes you uncomfortable, I will destroy it.” He said, his tone even.

Kagome sighed and nodded. There was no way in hell that she wanted that thing to get out. She would never live down the comments that would come her way.

Sesshomaru stood up and removed the tape and placed it in his wall safe. He explained that he would burn it later and that he was more interested in finding out what Naraku was up to. When Kagome nodded, he gave her a kiss on the lips and a gentle pat on her backside to send her on her way before he sat down at his desk. He waited for the study door to close before he picked up the phone.

When his call was picked up, Sesshomaru said, “We need to talk. Get Makasuno and meet me over at Youkai’s Kitchen. I am hungry and I would prefer to speak as I eat. No, do not call Onigumo. This does not require his attendance.”

When he was satisfied that Kuama would do as told, Sesshomaru hung up and left the study. He found Kagome curled up on their bed, watching a movie. She smiled lazily up at him and asked, “Do you want to join me?”

“What are you watching?” He asked, not really caring, but if she enjoyed the movie, then he would at least pretend to be interested.

“Steel Magnolias. It is my favorite movie.” She said, a happy smile tugging on the corners of her lips. Clearly she had forgotten her earlier outrage. Thank god for chick flicks.

“Perhaps another time. I must go and meet with a couple of associates and discuss a matter that has come up. Will you be alright on your own?” Sesshomaru asked, his golden eyes flickering over her petite form.

Kagome nodded and allowed her eyes to stray back to the television. She felt his soft lips on her forehead and she said, “I love you.”

Sesshomaru stopped and stared down at the woman. Hearing her tell him that she loved him made his stomach clench and his heart speed up. Without a second thought, he bent down and whispered, “And I love you. I will see you later.”

He quickly left the room. He did not need to be late and if he would have continued to be in the same room with the love of his life, he would never have made it out of the house. He grabbed his keys and told Jaken to watch after Kagome before leaving the house. He climbed into his car and started the engine. It was time to get serious.

Goshinki watched with narrowed eyes as Sesshomaru drove off. One would think that after that last attempt that he would be much more careful about watching over Kagome, but that was not his problem. No, the only problem he had was deciding when to make his move. He glanced up at the house and shook his head. Naraku Onigumo was becoming more and more anxious to get Kagome into his possession and he was getting sick of the whole deal. But, he needed the money and his girl so he would do whatever it took to keep them both.

He saw his chance when the old man came outside to water his plants. He silently moved up behind the man and with the butt end of a gun, he hit the man in the back of his head and watched in satisfaction as the man went face down in the dirt. Happy to have one obstacle out of his way, he walked into the home and looked around cautiously. He could hear the faint sounds of women talking and he narrowed his eyes. He had not seen anyone else go into the house, but he could not take any chances that there would be a witness to what was about to take place.

He took a moment to feel his jacket pocket and nodded. The syringe was in there and ready to use. Thankfully, the last dose he had given to Kagome had not harmed her and he was positive that it would be safe to use again. Besides, once she awoke, she and Naraku would be far away and there would be nothing that she or anyone else could do about it.

He slipped up the stairs as quietly as possible and headed to the master bedroom. He could hear women talking and gave a sigh of relief. The women who were talking were on television. He placed his hand, which was snuggly encased in a glove, on the doorknob and turned it slowly. He opened the door enough to see Kagome lying on the bed, clad in a waist-length t-shirt and a pair of little white panties. He licked his lips at the image she created and now understood why Naraku was so eager to claim her. She was simply exquisite.

He opened the door slowly and heard her say, “Just put my lunch on the dresser, Jaken. I will get it in a minute.”

Goshinki smirked and continued to move forward, but stopped when Kagome looked up at him, the smile on her face quickly disappearing.

“W-who are you?” She asked, her voice cracking. She glanced at the door and then back at him.

“Don’t worry about who I am. Just know that I am not going to harm you. Now, be a good girl and lay down on the bed.” He muttered, his eyes locked onto her stiff form.

Kagome panicked and when he suddenly jumped at her, she screamed and managed to wiggle away from his outstretched arms and ran to the door. Since it was open, she managed to get into the hallway. She screamed for help as she ran to the stairs.

Goshinki cursed under his breath and went after his prey. He had jerked the syringe out of his pocket and had it ready to use once he got a hold of her, but the slippery woman kept getting out of his reach. By the time they had made it to the stairs, he had reached the end of his patience.

Kagome ran down the stairs and had nearly made it to the front door when the man behind her grabbed a hold of her long hair and jerked her back. She fell backwards and cried out when she felt a sharp pain in her neck. She heard the man breathing heavily and felt him gather her up in his arms.

“After all of that trouble, I should be charging Onigumo extra.” Goshinki said. He chuckled as Kagome’s body relaxed into his and he snuggled her close to him as he exited the house. He glanced at Jaken, who was still unconscious, and then began making his way to his car that was hidden from view. It never occurred to Goshinki that Sesshomaru would have fixed his security system so quickly or else he would have remembered to get the security tape before he left.

Sesshomaru glanced at the two men sitting at the table and said, “Onigumo is involved in some serious illegal matters and I think that it would be prudent for us to remove ourselves from his company.”

Kouga nodded. “I agree. After that fiasco with his arrest, I have been fielding calls from the media and frankly, it is getting on my damn nerves.” He said.

Hojo sighed. He should have seen this coming, but his need for revenge against Inu Yasha had blinded him and thus landed them in this mess. “Very well. I, too, agree that Onigumo should be eradicated from our group. So, which one of us shall have the honor of telling him that he is out?” He asked.

Sesshomaru smirked. “That honor belongs to me.” He stated, not caring if Kouga had any objections.

Both Kouga and Hojo nodded. “Fine. By the way, how is Kagome? Yumi has mentioned that she wants to invite her out to lunch and then drag her around to help with selecting items for our baby’s nursery.” Hojo said.

“Kagome is fine. She is happy and well taken care of. I will have her call Yumi once I return home.” Sesshomaru said, his golden eyes straying to Kouga. It was odd that the dark-haired man had not mentioned Kagome yet, and he could not help wondering if Makasuno had finally figured out that he would never possess Kagome.

Hojo nodded. “Well, if you will excuse me, it is time that I return home. Yumi has a doctor’s appointment and I don’t want to miss it.” He said, his eyes twinkling.

“I have to go, too. I will see you gentlemen later.” Kouga muttered, his hands stuffed in his pockets. He quickly exited the restaurant and left Hojo and Sesshomaru behind to stare after him.

“I think that he finally knows that Kagome will never see him as anything but a friend and his heart is broken. Lay off of him, Sesshomaru. He doesn’t need you to rub his nose in the fact that Kagome has chosen you.” Hojo said.

Sesshomaru snorted and left the table. He paid the bill and walked outside. He shook his head and climbed into his car and picked up his cell phone. He dialed his home phone and waited as the phone rang. And rang. And rang. Finally, it was picked up and Sesshomaru snapped, “What in the hell too so damn long?”

“Mr. Takashiro? This is Detective Suikotsu Namaru. I need for you to come home as quickly as you can. I am afraid that I have some bad news for you.” The voice on the other end of the phone said.

Kikyo snorted and shook her head. She glanced around the waiting room at all of the women and cringed. In a couple of months, she would be as fat as they were and she did not think that she could handle it.

When her name was called, she stood up and walked towards the nurse, her head held high. She was weighed and actually called the nurse a liar when she was told that she now weighed almost one hundred and sixty-five pounds. It was not possible.

Once her vitals had been taken, she had been given a cup and told to leave her urine sample in the sample box that was located by the sink. Once she was finished, she was escorted to the small waiting area and told that her doctor’s nurse would be right with her.

Kikyo picked up a magazine and began flipping through it. It was a very popular magazine and often spoke of new and exciting couples that were making waves. Her name had often been in the magazine and she was curious to see if she was still linked to Inu Yasha.

She flipped to the society page and nearly swallowed her tongue. She could not believe that they would have the nerve to print a large photo of Sesshomaru and that whore, Kagome with the words, “A match made in heaven.” It was almost too much, but what really took the cake was that Inu Yasha was also mentioned in the magazine, but beside his name was that of someone named Shiori Nashishi.

Rolling her eyes, Kikyo nearly flung the magazine down, but something caught her eye and she could not stop herself from reading it.

It looks as though Kikyo Takashiro is on the way out of the penthouse and into the poor house, folks. Sources say that the flirtatious Kikyo Takashiro has burned her bridges with both of the Takashiro brothers and has been linked to that deviously handsome Naraku Onigumo. However, Naraku’s camp has said that while he enjoyed a brief rendezvous with Kikyo, he was not in the market for a blood-sucking leech and that she could go and find some other sucker to prey on.

It is said that Kikyo Takashiro has suffered not only financial ruin, but she has also gained quite a bit of weight, as well. It looks like that high horse that Kikyo Takashiro has been riding has finally decided to buck her off. If you ask me, I say good riddance.

Speaking of the Takashiros, rumor has it that there is a new lady in Sesshomaru Takashiro’s life and that he has given up his playboy ways…

She could not read anymore. It was absolutely disgusting. How dare that bitch reporter write such things about her? Well, perhaps a lawsuit of harassment and slander would teach that bigmouth.

When the nurse finally came and got her, Kikyo followed the young woman into an exam room and sat on the exam table. She sighed and looked around the room, her patience nearly wearing thin.

The older woman, Urasue Hamaski, came into the room. Her large bug eyes stared at Kikyo and she sat down before the woman.

“Kikyo, we did a pregnancy test, and it was negative. You are not pregnant, my dear.” Urasue said, her tone dry. Really, Kikyo Takashiro had always been something of a drama queen.

“But, I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive. So, you have to be wrong.” Kikyo retorted, her eyes narrowing.

“My dear, those ‘at-home’ tests are sometimes defective. Trust me, you are not pregnant, but if you need further proof, we can do a blood test on you.” Urasue countered.

Kikyo shrugged. “Fine, but I am telling you that I am pregnant. How else could I have gained so much weight in such a short amount of time.” She snapped.

Urasue shrugged and went to the door. She called the nurse in and ordered the blood test. Once the blood had been drawn, it was sent to the lab and when she had the results in hand, Urasue came back into the room where Kikyo sat.

Without a word, she handed the paper to Kikyo and said, “Kikyo, the test proves that you are not pregnant. As for your earlier question, you are fat because you eat too much of the wrong things. You are also going through a very rough period in your life and I would suggest getting into some serious counseling.”

Kikyo glared at the old woman before hopping down from the table. “I don’t need your damn advice. You can take it and shove it up your wrinkled, fat ass. I am out of here.” She hissed.

Stomping from the room, Kikyo thundered down the corridor and headed for the exit. Behind her, Urasue shook her head and told her nurse, “I think that it is time for Mrs. Takashiro to find herself a new doctor. Do not schedule anymore appointments for her.”

The nurse nodded, and secretly applauded the woman’s decision. No one should ever have to put up with such abuse.

Kikyo got into her car and started the engine. Damn it, she was back at square one. She glanced out her window and sighed. She heard her stomach growl and she decided that a nice lunch out would be just the thing to brighten her spirits.

She drove to the bank and was delighted to find that Inu Yasha had kept his word. He had wired quite a bit of money into her account and she got out five hundred dollars. She drove to a restaurant that she and Sesshomaru had frequented and went inside. She was seated and ordered her meal. While she waited, she could hear the murmurs around her and knew that they were talking about her. She gritted her teeth and managed to keep her cool. It would not do for her to lose her temper in public.

She ate her meal and nearly gasped when the total came to nearly one hundred dollars. It was outrageous. However, she paid the bill and left the restaurant. She was miserable and lonely. A woman like her should never feel this badly, but she did and all she wanted was to go home and cry.

When she got home, she walked in the door and reached over to flip on the light switch, but was shocked when the light did not come on. She shook her head and figured that the bulb had blown. She walked over to the television and pressed the on button, but it did not come on. Groaning, she realized what had happened. She had forgotten to pay the electric bill. Sighing, she turned and walked to the door. She locked the door and quickly made her way to the electric company. By the time she had come out of the building, she only had one hundred dollars left. She gritted her teeth. She could not afford to tell Inu Yasha the truth about her not being pregnant.

When she drove home, she checked the mailbox and discovered that she had many bills to worry about. Damn it, she should have never cheated on Sesshomaru. She could bet that Kagome never had to worry about such things.

Naraku grinned and accepted the dark haired beauty into his arms. “You did well, Goshinki. I trust that she was not difficult to obtain?” He asked.

“Nope. She was drugged, just as you requested. She is a real beauty.” Goshinki said, his eyes wandering over the lithe form of the woman in his boss’s arms.

“Yes, she is. And, she is mine. I have one last job for you. I want you to go with my brother and watch his back. It will only take an hour. Do not fail me, Goshinki. When you return, you will be paid in full.” Naraku promised.

Goshinki nodded and looked up to see a man come down the stairs. The man stopped and leered at Kagome.

“Well, it seems that you caught yourself quite a prize, Naraku.” Muso murmured. He licked his lips and allowed his eyes to rest upon the swells of her breasts.

Naraku chuckled. “Yes, it would appear that I have. Now, take Goshinki with you and do your job.” He ordered.

Muso nodded and followed Goshinki out the door. He turned in time to see Naraku snuggled Kagome closer to him and turned towards the stairs. He could hear his brother murmuring softly to the unconscious woman and he could not help but envy his older brother. He got all of the good-looking bitches.

Together, he and Goshinki drove to what was considered to be a rough part of town. They climbed out of the car and walked over to the docks. When he felt that they were concealed, Muso grinned and turned towards Goshinki.

“It is a nice day, isn’t it?” Muso asked, his hand in his pocket. When Goshinki nodded, Muso’s grin widened and he pulled the gun out. “Yeah, it is definitely a nice day to die. Goodbye, Goshinki.”

Because there was a silencer on the end of the gun, the only sound that was heard was Goshinki’s gasp of surprise before his large body hit the ground. Muso sighed and surveyed his work. He had put the bullet right between the other man’s eyes and he was impressed with his own handiwork.

With his foot, he managed to push Goshinki off of the dock and into the murky water. Let the damn fish play with the freak. It was time to go home and get a stiff drink.

Chuckling, Muso turned and walked back to the car. He did not see the man who had been watching the entire scene, nor did he hear the man make a phone call to the police.

Naraku could not believe his luck. Here he was, in his bed with Kagome, and they were both naked. He had taken the liberty of undressing her and looking her over to make sure that she was not wounded from Goshinki’s rough hands.

Once he was satisfied that she was not harmed, he rested on his back and gently drew Kagome to him, her head pillowed on his chest. It felt good to finally have her in his arms and that is exactly where she would stay.

He glanced over at the clock and smirked. They had nearly four more hours before they had to meet up with the boat that would take them to a place where they would not be found. Soon, he would give his name to Kagome and his reward for all that he had done would be her body open for his pleasure.

A smile upon his lips, Naraku’s eyes closed and he drifted off to a peaceful slumber. It had been a good day.
