Chapter 9

Trouble with Koharu and Bankotsu, Music sabotage, A happy Naraku?

“What!?” Kagome looked at Sesshomaru insidiously. “I said no such thing! You asked me for the greatest gift a woman can give a man, and I gave it to you ‘that night’!” Kagome’s voice continued to get louder by the minute. She pushed Sesshomaru off of her, stood up, and pointed an accusing finger at him. “You wanted my virginity in exchange for your love, not a ‘child’!” she shrieked.

Sesshomaru sighed heavily, something he was starting to get accustomed to when dealing with Kagome. “I never asked for your virginity specifically. The greatest gift a woman can give a man, Kagome, is a baby,” Sesshomaru said as he shook his head. “A man cannot bare a child for his love, but he can help make one. You agreed to give me a child, if that included your virginity, then so be it. I’m proud to be the first man you bedded, and hopefully I will be the last.” He started to rub his temples, because he was sure his ‘Soapbox Speech’ was not getting through Kagome. “You promised me a baby and I want it sooner rather than later.”

Her mouth was just hanging open. Kagome couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “That is the price for my happiness?” Her voice was low, but one could tell that she was ready to explode. “You have demanded so much of me since we started dating, and I have given in to you. Granted, I did not mind because you made me happy, but this?” Kagome’s hands turned into fists at her sides. “I will not let you have your way. I already have ‘two’ children and you want me to produce ‘you’ a bastard!!?”

“Then we have a misunderstanding,” Sesshomaru stated.

“You mean a big fucking problem!” Kagome shouted. “Are you saying that if I refuse…” She shook her head. “I can’t believe you… all of this has been for… I should have known…” Kagome reached the peak of her anger and started to gather some of her things and throw them into an overnight bag.

Sesshomaru just sat on the bed staring at Kagome who was packing. He was in a kind of shock. Sesshomaru hadn’t realize Kagome was leaving till she grabbed a jacket and slipped on some shoes. “Wait!”

“What.”

“Where are you going?” Sesshomaru demanded.

Kagome scoffed. “Does it really matter?” She stormed out of the room and headed to where the kids slept. When Kagome looked back, she noticed Sesshomaru was hot on her heels.

“Tell me!” Now Sesshomaru was pissed. He realized that his vagueness may have caused some wires to get crossed, but now it was out of hand. He was trying to keep his temper under control, because it ‘was’ his fault, but he was starting to lose the battle. Kagome was trying to leave him, and he won’t stand for it, not even for one night. “You are not leaving!”

After Kagome got some of Shippou’s things in the bag, she moved to Rin’s things. “Watch me!” Who the hell is trying to order around, Kagome thought. Soon she was done packing and headed down the stairs; Sesshomaru still following. “Leave me alone! This was a big mistake!”

“What!” Now it was Sesshomaru’s turn to feel frustration. As if in slow motion, he reached down and grabbed the bag in Kagome’s hands. “I said stop, we need to talk!”

“Go to hell!”

Sesshomaru knew Kagome had a temper, but he never thought he would be on the receiving end of it. He held fast to the bag. “Stop!”

“Gahhh!” Kagome let go of the bag and continued down the stairs. “Fine I will by us some clothes!”

He could only watch in horror as the light of his life picked the kids up and walked out of the door. Finally Sesshomaru realized all of the servants were staring at him. “Go back to your work, your mistress shall return.” He headed up to his room. He needed to think and badly. Somewhere, this misunderstanding or his plans took a turn for the worse and he needed to rectify it. Plus there was no need to worry, Kagome just needed to think as well, unfortunately that meant being away from him.

………………………………………

“Hello… hello.” Miroku walked into Sesshomaru’s office to find the man staring into space. What Sesshomaru thought was a temporary separation had now turned into a week and a half. Yes. They definitely had a misunderstanding, of the huge kind. Miroku cleared his throat and tried again. “Excuse me. Hello!”

After about three minutes of Miroku calling his name, Sesshomaru finally looked up. “What.”

Miroku’s eye brow rose slightly. He could tell Sesshomaru was irritated with him. Rather Miroku wanted or not, he and Sango were in the middle of the ‘Love Dispute’. Why? Because Kagome was staying with them, and had she not been, she may have returned to Sesshomaru sooner. At least that was what Sesshomaru thought. I wonder what Sesshomaru would do if he found out Kagome was planning to move out, Miroku asked himself. Sighing Miroku stated his ‘business’. “I came to get your signature.”

As much as Sesshomaru wanted to ask about Kagome, he did not. He was at work, but Kami, he wanted to. She had been away from home for over a week and, well… at the cost of sounding like a bitch… he was starting to worry. He already missed her. “Fine.” Sesshomaru snatched the papers and signed them. After that he went back to ignoring the world.

Miroku left quietly, and was about to get on the elevator when he saw Inuyasha walking towards Sesshomaru’s office door. “Inuyasha!” He called. Once he saw Inuyasha staring at him, Miroku continued, “I don’t think it’s wise to go in there today. He is in a very foul mood.”

Inuyasha looked at Miroku with the ‘as if I give a damn’ look. “Feh. Who the fuck cares what kind of mood he’s in!” Inuyasha started walking again but stopped when he realized Miroku was walking up to him. “What now?”

Miroku led Inuyasha into the men’s room and turned the water on. “You may not know this, but Kagome has left your brother. That is why he is in this mood.” He looked at Inuyasha sternly. “Do not, and I repeat, do not upset him today.” Miroku continued about his way, hoping that his words of wisdom would not be lost on Inuyasha. Somehow he felt less than confident.

Inuyasha, as expected, ignored Miroku’s warning and waltzed right into Sesshomaru’s office. He was dancing really, full of joy! His chance with Kagome was now open. “Hello brother. I see someone shoved that stick right back up your ass.”

“Why are you here, Inuyasha?” Sesshomaru chose not to ignore him. Inuyasha was like an infection; if you didn’t address it, it will only spread.

“…”

“Speak! I don’t have all day for you to spit it out!”

Inuyasha looked at him coolly. “What happened, brother? Usually, you are calm and collected. Could it be woman trouble?”

Sesshomaru composed himself. “Why are you here? I really don’t feel like showing you how much of a fool you are today,” he smirked. That got the desired reaction.

He turned to leave but stopped. Inuyasha returned Sesshomaru’s smirk. “My woman ain’t left me yet, and now yours is up for grabs.” Inuyasha walked out of the office and slammed the door behind him.

ssssssssssssssssssss

Kagome just sat in her dressing room staring into space. She hadn’t really allowed herself time to think over her situation yet. Kagome only knew that she was not about to… Kagome’s musing was cut short when Bankotsu walked in. “Could you at least knock?”

He swept his long hair over his shoulder. Instead of his usual braid, Bankotsu decided to wear it down for the rest of the week. Kagome had once liked it that way, and now that she was separated from that bastard, things just might happen between them. “I’m sorry.”

“That’s okay,” Kagome replied. “So what can I help you with?”

Bankotsu watched as Kagome started to brush her hair, and he longed to touch it. Anyway, why ‘was’ he there? Oh yes. To see her, but he could not admit that to her yet. He leaned down and whispered seductively in her ear, “You have some complaints, Kagome.”

“Uhhh. Yeah… someone has been changing the music in the music box.” Kagome began to stammer slightly. Her attraction to her ex-boyfriend really never left, she just had someone else in her life right now. “Neither Ayame nor myself will dance to that horrible music! It sounds like stank strip club beats!”

“I see,” said Bankotsu. “Well, it will be taken care of. Is there anything else?”

“No.”

“I’ll see you later then, ‘my’ Kagome.” Bankotsu walked out of the room, amused at Kagome’s confused features.

………………………………

“Geez, Miroku, do you think this is a good idea?” Sango turned to her husband with a bit of apprehension in her features. “Don’t get me wrong,” she continued, “it’s nice to be out, but Kagome might get angry with us.”

Miroku thought for a moment. It had been quite a while since he and Sango went anywhere together, and tonight Sesshomaru ‘volunteered’ to baby Kagome’s children for them. Of course, Miroku knew that Sesshomaru had other things in mind, especially when Rin called him ‘daddy’, and he made sure to tell Sango to have ‘Kagome’ to pick the children up. BUT he could overlook all that tonight. They needed to celebrate, by themselves, and that was what he intended to do, at Kagome’s work place. Miroku looked into Sango’s hazel eyes. “Perhaps, or perhaps not, but that cannot be helped, for tonight it is just you and me.” He took Sango’s hand in his and led her to a table on the second floor of the main club.

…………………………………

Sesshomaru nearly fell to the floor when Rin called him ‘daddy’ earlier. The word not only warmed his heart but it also touched his soul. Shippou had yet to give him such a title, but every time he looked into the boy’s eyes the word was there. Sesshomaru sighed and led the children up to their rooms. He was sure that they would be happy with what they saw. Sesshomaru didn’t knew if they were mad at him as well, so he decided to make amends with them too.

“Is that really mine?” Shippou asked all wide eyed. It was the biggest box of chocolate accompanied by the biggest action figure he had ever seen lying on his bed.

“And… this is mine?” asked Rin in the same manner. She had a large bouquet of flower shaped jump-ropes lying on her bed. It was beautiful; there was a color for every day of the week. To top it all off, like Shippou, she had a gigantic box of chocolate.

Both children ran up to Sesshomaru and threw their arms around him. “We love you!”

Sesshomaru looked down at the children, and a thought crossed his mind. Maybe he was already a father; he was just asking Kagome the wrong question. Maybe he should be asking another?

………………………………………

Later, at the club, things picked up a little. When the excitement hit its zenith, the club went dark and everything was quite.

Sango looked over to Miroku. “Well, this is a change. I wonder what’s going to happen.”

“I don’t know, Sango, but I can say... I don’t think it will be boring.” Miroku started to rub on Sango’s upper right thigh. Her pregnancy only heightened his desire to be with her, in more ways than one.

Suddenly, the music came on in full force but it was still dark. People were starting to wonder if the club was having technical trouble, but that thought was soon pushed aside when the DJ asked the ‘clubers’ if they were ready to dance.

The lights returned.

The music started anew.

The lights shut off again.

“What the fuck!” someone shouted.

“Is this a joke?!” another yelled

Mummers were heard all over the place. People were starting to get pissed off, including Sango. She was about to start her ranting like everyone else when she gasped. When the lights came back on, Sango and Miroku saw Kagome and her seven other co-workers dancing in the middle of the floor. Sango grabbed Miroku’s hand and proceeded to lead him closer to the crowd.
………………………………

Kagome slightly shook her head in the middle of the dance. Bankotsu may be stubborn and boisterous, but that did not stop his creative side.

Tonight, they were just performing a rather simple dance. A spectacle of sorts and by the look on everyone’s faces it was working.

Koharu quickly scanned the crowd while she danced. There, in the very front stood her love! What’s this… he’s with Sango? You see, Koharu and Miroku have or, rather, had a past, and not just a normal one. Once upon a time, they were lovers and in love, that was till he left for college and met her. Until Miroku met Sango. Not even a week after Miroku met Sango, he broke things off with her. Well, tonight, Sango will feel the pain, she would either give him up or fight for him.

As the dance came to an end, Kagome turned her attention toward her group. Everyone looked fine, but... Koharu was glaring? But at who? Kagome followed the woman’s field of vision, straight to that of her best friend! That was when Kagome remembered that Koharu had a thing for Miroku. So why was Koharu still glaring at Sango? Kagome decided to mind her business for the moment and turned back to the task at hand. She would defend her friend if need be.

……………………………………

“That was a good show, Kagome,” Bankotsu congratulated her and handed her flowers like old times.

Jakotsu walked over and offered his opinion as well. “Those dresses are adorable. Did you leave one for me?”

“Of course.” Kagome gave Jakotsu a warm smile. “We asked the costume maker to do an extra one for you.”

“Thanks, Kagome. See, brother, I told you this girl is too good for you,” Jakotsu replied while looking at Bankotsu.

Bankotsu wrapped his arm around Kagome’s waist and pulled her to him. “I know, that’s why I love her.” He looked into Kagome’s shocked face then to Jakotsu. “It’s true.”

She was too stunned to say anything. Like Sesshomaru, Bankotsu was a private man, so his proclamation of love was… shocking! Kagome could only stare at the man she called her friend.
………………………………

Miroku and Sango were quietly waiting for Kagome to finish talking with her bosses, when some one walked up behind Miroku and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Hello, Love, are you ready for that child?” Koharu asked as she walked up on the unsuspecting couple.

Miroku let out a heavy sigh. “To what do ‘we’ owe the honor, Koharu.” He held Sango’s hand in such a position to show off their wedding bands.

“I just told you,” Koharu pointed out. Her left eye was twitching slightly, she didn’t miss his small but effective way of telling her he was taken. “You ready for that son yet?”

Sango was livid! Miroku may not tell the slut what she ‘needed’ to hear, but Sango had no problems with it. “He has a child on the way already!”

“What?!” Koharu sputtered. No! This couldn’t be right! She was supposed to have Miroku’s children.

“You heard me!” Sango practically shouted. “I am having his child and we are married, so leave us alone!”

Koharu decided she had had enough of Sango and wanted nothing more than to slap the satisfied look off her face. Before she could catch herself, Koharu’s hand came across Sango’s face.

“What are you doing!!” Miroku shouted as he took a defensive stance in front of his wife. He really didn’t hit women, but she might just be exception.

When Miroku’s cries reached Kagome’s ears, she looked around to see her friend in tears and Miroku standing in front of her protectively. Immediately, Kagome dropped what she was doing and walked over to them.

…………………………………

After Sesshomaru put the children to bed, he once again sat in his study. Only this time, he wasn’t staring into space or going over his work. Sesshomaru was quietly sitting at his desk going through the children’s backpacks like he had seen Kagome do. He didn’t know what the hell he was looking for, but he figured that he would soon find out.

Sure enough, he found it. Like work, there was a stack of papers that needed to be signed and looked at. After reading over all the papers, Sesshomaru wondered what all went on in school today? Sesshomaru was almost done packing Rin’s things when a pink piece of paper trimmed in pink lace caught his eye. Upon further examination, he realized it was an invitation from Naraku’s child. A play date, he mused. Just before Sesshomaru’s thoughts could take a turn for the worse, his cell phone started ringing again. The tone gave the caller away. “What do you want at this hour, Inuyasha?”

“I called…” Inuyasha drawled, “to ask you, if you knew what ‘your’ woman was doing right now.” He needed someone to torment right now. Kikyo was gone as usual, and he was bored. Suddenly, some friends from the club had called and told him some good gossip.

He didn’t have time for this! Well, in all actuality he ‘did’ but chose not too. “You have five seconds,” Sesshomaru warned.

“Keh!” Inuyasha was hoping to bait Sesshomaru more but this would do. “Fine. I heard that Kagome is at work having a ‘knock out drag out’ fight.” He leaned back in his seat a bit. “As a matter of fact, it’s happening as we speak.”

“Who told you this?” Sesshomaru demanded.

“Don’t worry, Fuck Face. Just know that it’s tr-” Inuyasha didn’t finish, Sesshomaru had hung up.

Sesshomaru was beside himself. Why was Kagome fighting? Miroku and Sango were at the club and should have prevented it from happening. Well, Sango had a good reason not to, actually, more than one reason not to. Sesshomaru quickly redressed and called Miroku’s cell phone.

“Hello,” Sango answered worriedly.

“Sango, what is happening to Kagome?” Sesshomaru demanded. “I just received a call saying she was in trouble.” Yeah! He said that a lot better than Inuyasha.

“Well…” Sango quickly recounted the night’s events to Sesshomaru then a large crash was heard behind her. “Hold on.” She looked behind her and gasped. “Sesshomaru I will call you back! I see blood.”

Sesshomaru was still on the line when Sango hung up, trying to process all the background information. “Jaken!”

The little man scurried into the room. “Yes.”

“Watch the kids. I shall return shortly.” Sesshomaru grabbed his shirt and bolted for the front door.

……………………………………

It took many men to break those two apart, but after Sango saw blood, they had to try harder. Neither woman came out untouched. Unlike her fight with Kikyo, Kagome was sporting a fresh set of bruises; a cut on the lower lip and right cheek, and a lump on the back of the head. Koharu was no different if not worse. She was now the proud owner of a right black eye, a cut across her hairline, multiple cuts, and a bump on the left side of the head.

“You go ahead. I’ll take care of Kagome.” Bankotsu looked at Miroku and practically dared him to challenge him.

All he wanted to do was rest and take Sango home to rest. Not that Miroku did not care for Kagome, but he knew that Bankotsu wouldn’t hurt her either. “We’ll pick her up later then.” Miroku took Sango by the hand and led her to their car.

Bankotsu followed their example and put Kagome into his car then headed for his apartment.

…………………………………

Sesshomaru arrived at the club just in time to see Bankotsu drive off with Kagome. Pissed off could not describe what he was feeling at the moment. Sesshomaru jumped back in his car and followed the pair to Bankotsu’s apartment.

When they reached his apartment complex, Bankotsu gently put Kagome over his shoulder and started the short walk up to his apartment.

Sesshomaru watched on in a silent rage. For the first time in his life, he wasn’t sure who to be mad at. However, he was sure that he wanted to hit something. Suddenly, his calm side kicked in. He would give Kagome her space, but he would be back in the morning to collect what was his.

………………………………………

Bankotsu was so excited about having Kagome over that he failed to notice Sesshomaru watching from afar. Once they were in the apartment, he stripped Kagome and replaced her torn clothes with one of his shirts. Tonight, they would just lie in each other’s arm like old times.

The next morning, Kagome awoke with a massive headache. She started to hope that the truck she got pushed in front of wasn’t too big. Slowly, her surrounding came back to her and Kagome realized she was not at home.

Bankotsu felt Kagome stir in his arms and cracked an eye open. “Good mornin’, beautiful.”

“Why am I here?” Kagome asked as she shook her head. She was anything but beautiful. Hell, the bruises all over her body were screaming in pain. “And could you please get off me.”

He was a little disappointed with her questions, but they were understandable. Reluctantly, Bankotsu let go and got up. “Do you remember the fight you had last night?”

“Yeah... but...?” Kagome was confused. His question did not answer hers.

Bankotsu had no intention of answering all of her question, just some of them. “Just rest. I’ll make breakfast then drop you off to your friends.” Bankotsu walked into the living room and yelled, “Why the hell are ‘you’ in my apartment?”

Sesshomaru ‘was’ going to give Kagome some space, but his mind couldn’t bare it. He would forever be wondering if she was faithful on this night, so he let himself into Bankotsu’s apartment while they slept. To his relief, nothing happened, but still Kagome was in the arms of another man. Quietly, Sesshomaru sat in the living room all night waiting for them to get up. Sesshomaru was trying his best to stay calm when Bankotsu started to shout. “I came to collect what’s mine,” he stated calmly.

“Get the hell out or I’ll toss you out,” Bankotsu ordered.

Sesshomaru slowly stood up and made his way over to Bankotsu’s bedroom door.

“Out!”

“I will collect Kagome. Then, we will leave.”

Frustration started to seep into Bankotsu’s very bones. Deciding not to be pushed around in his own home, he let his fists fly.

Sesshomaru was taken by surprise when Bankotsu belted him. He was trying desperately to stay calm, but wasn’t winning. “MOVE!” Sesshomaru grabbed Bankotsu by the arm and flung him into the wall.

Kagome stirred out of her sleep once more, this time, to loud crashing noises in the living room. She was still hurting from the night before but decided to check it out anyway. As soon as she flung the door open, Kagome got the surprise of a life time.

sssssssssssssssss

Jaken was pissed to no end when his master called and told him that he would not be returning home and that ‘he’ should get the children off to school. This shit was not in the job description.

After seeing to the children, Jaken sat about packing their back packs. This task he would enjoy. Starting trouble was his second forte. Jaken carefully placed a note in Rin’s small pink bag; all the while he was snickering. If that fool, Naraku, thought he was going to slip past Sesshomaru to his new lady then he was sadly mistaken. When he was done musing Jaken turn his attention back to the children. “Come on! We don’t have all day!” He grabbed each child by the hand then looked at Rin. “Make sure your friend Kanna receives that note in you back pack.”

…………………………………

Later that evening, Naraku was sitting on Kanna’s small bed going through her little school bag. Like Sesshomaru, he didn’t know what the hell to look for either, but was after something in particular.

Kagura passed by her daughter’s room and stopped. There were a few things wrong with the picture before her. Naraku was sitting on the bed going through Kanna’s things, and Kanna was calmly drawing at her desk. The fact that Naraku was even home disturbed Kagura greatly, so she decided to dig for answers. “I didn’t know you were home, Naraku. Can I help you find something?”

He looked up at his wife menacingly. “Why would I not be home, Kagura,” Naraku retorted. He was calm, but his eyes gave away what he was thinking. Back the hell off, they screamed. Naraku went back to ignoring Kagura and looking for his prize.

Kagura decided it would be wise to heed his warning today and placed her attention on Kanna. “Kanna, go wash up for dinner.”

The little girl stopped what she was doing but looked toward her father for confirmation.

Her right eye started to twitch slightly. The girl idolized her father, but he didn’t give a damn about the child. “I said now, Kanna!”

When Naraku realized what was going on around him, he waved his hand at his child. “Go, Kanna. Do what your mother says.” A sickening smile spread across his lips. In his hand, lay the answer to the invitation he sent Kagome. “Kagura, come here.” Naraku was happy and he felt like celebrating. Since his whore was no where around, his wife would make due. I mean, why not. She ‘was’ his for the taking.

“Yes?” Kagura asked calmly, or as calmly as she could.

“Come closer.”

Kagura took the smallest steps possible. “Yes,” She tried again.

“Closer,” Naraku said again.

“What is it?”

“Closer. If I have to get up, you will not like the outcome Kagura!”

Kagura took a deep breath and stepped forward just short of arms’ length.

Without warning, Naraku came forward, grabbed Kagura by the wrists and pushed her roughly down onto the bed. “Next time I tell you to come to me, bitch, I expect you will do so.”

“You can’t do ‘this’ now,” Kagura begged. “Kanna is waiting on us.” Tears slowly started to fall down her pale face.

Naraku paid Kagura no attention. Instead, he shoved her skirt up past her hips and ripped her shirt open.

“Naraku.”

Not caring about the mess he was making, Naraku roughly tore Kagura’s panties off and flipped her onto her hand and knees. “She will be fine till I finish.”

Kagura closed her eyes and prepared herself for a dry entry. Naraku had to be happy, if he was willing to be with me, thought Kagura. After that, she felt an intense pain in her nether region.

Meanwhile, Kanna sat at the dinner table alone.
