For the Love of My Rose Hime
Forty-fifth Rose: Darkness Aproaches the Dawn

Tokyo Memorial...
She lowered her mask, and whispered into her ear. "Hey, Gram, I'm home!"
Just when she said that, Keade's hand tightened on Yasha's. Her discolored eye opened, and a corner of her mouth lifted slightly. She whispered in a low raspy voice. "Welcome home, little Sha chan."
Upon hearing Keade's low raspy reply, the nurse ran from the room in search of Dr. Sui. At that time Sesshomaru walked and stood behind his wife. "Gram," she smiled, her eyes misty with relief. "How are you feeling? You gave us quite a scare!" InuYasha whispered.
Keade gave a very weak chuckle, licking her dry lips. "Like I'd been hit with a bat!" She chuckled. A lone tear fell from her slightly discolored eye. "I'm sor...ry, Sha chan."
Inu smiled, leaning closer to her gram. "Sorry for what, Oba San?"
Keade coughed, then gasped. Keade closed her eyes, inhaling deeply from the oxygen mask over her face. "I'm sor...ry for rui...ning your hon...eymo...on." She coughed again, "I know ho...how mu..ch go...ing there meant *cough* to...to yo...u." Keade began to cough again.
InuYasha patted and rubbed her Keade's hand, shaking her head and smiling. "No Oba San, don't be silly! How could I be anywhere but here with you?"
"Thi...this was your t...time *cough* to be with yo *cough* your hus... *cough* husband!"
Sesshomaru leaned over Inu's shoulder. Smiling at his beloved's grandmother. "There is no need for concern, Gram San. To be honest I could use the rest. InuYasha has an insatiable sex drive, it's impossible to keep up wi...oufff!" He grunted, as InuYasha punched him in the gut!
"Damn it, Sess! This IS my grandmother your talking too!" She hissed at him.
"But, dearest, I was only trying to ease Gram's mind." He smiled, resting his hand on her shoulder. Looking at a weakly smiling Keade, "You don't mind do you, Gram?"
"Not *cough* in the le...least!"
Just then, Suikostu ran in with the nurse. "Inu, Sess, you'll have to leave now. I have to examine Keade." Inu was about to refuse, but Sesshomaru intervened.
"Come dearest, we must let Dr. Suikostu and his people do their job. I'm sure that they will let us back in soon."
"But Sess," she groaned not wanting to leave Keade.
"InuYasha, lis...ten to y...your hus...husband." Keade said, just as the nurses were checking her vitals and the monitors.
"Fuma Sama, please you must be quiet and try to relax." One of the nurses said, then looked at Suikostu. "Doctor, we need you."
Suikostu turned to her and waved, "I'll be right there." Turning back to Inu and Sess, he smiled ushering them towards the door. "Yash, go and wait outside with Sesshomaru. I'll be out in a few minutes." Closing the door, he reassured them that all will be well. Outside the room, InuYasha buried herself in Sess' strong arms sobbing in relief. Sess held her closely, rubbing her back in a comforting manner. Whispering encouragement into her hair, as he kissed the top of her head.
"She's going to make it, isn't she, Sess? Just like you said!" She sighed happily.
"Of course, she is lover. It's like you said you and Gram are made of strong stuff!" Lifting her chin with one finger, he raised her head to look into her eyes. "And, I thank god for that!" He kissed bent his head and captured her lips, in a passionately heartfelt kiss.
They were suddenly interrupted, when Touga, Aoi, and Kagome, came up to them in a panic. They were also joined by Naraku, Tokio, and Tsukiyomi, who had recently arrived to the hospital. "Son, what has happened?!? We saw the doctor and nurses rushing towards Keade Samas room! What has happened to her?"
"InuYasha, what has... Is Aunt...Aunt Keade's all right, isn't she? Sesshomaru, What's going on?!?" Aoi inquired tearfully, clinging to Touga's arm. The others stood by and waited for word from the still embracing couple.
Sess and Inu looked over their worried family. InuYasha turned in his arms, to face them. Sess pulled her back against his chest, pressing his lips to the back of her head. InuYasha gave them a huge grin, then said, "Gram's awake! She's awake! She's going to fine!" She told them with tears of joy and relief rolling down her cheeks. The family gave collective sighs of relief, as they swarmed around the young couple. As tears and words of congratulations and relief were offered. No one had any idea of the goings on in a cozy lounge, not to far from where they are.
The Oregon Bar and Grill...
In another part of Tokyo, he sat in a private booth in the back of the busy bar. He was busy nursing his 3rd gin and tonic, as his mind went over the situation at hand. 'Damn it to hell', he stewed inwardly, sneering into his empty glass. 'It could have all been so easy! All those incompetent asses had to do, was find any info on where that bastard took her! And, to get back the items I asked for! Whatever else they stole, was theirs! Damn them! No one was supposed to be hurt!' He raised his hand calling the waitress over, ordering another drink. 'Well, at least one good thing will come out of this mess! She will now have to come home! I will be able to keep track of her better!' "Just a little longer, Yasha love. I'll have everything in order soon. Once I do, then we can get you away from that bastard. We will have the life WE deserve! Just a little longer!" He smiled sadistically, as he waited for her to return. His interest was caught by what was conspiring in the booth facing him. Leaning closer to the opposite booth, he listened to the conversation.
In the next booth, two beautiful woman sat having lunch. Both were gorgeous women wearing designer original suits. One a petite brown haired woman dressed in a blue Ralph Lauren wrap skirt with matching jacket. She was seated next to an angry tall voluptuous dark haired beauty, wearing a red Armani pants suit. 'Hmm! Stunning! ' It was the tall one that got his attention. She was exceptional! 'Not as beautiful as my Yasha, but wow!' Her hair was pulled into a bun high on her head. Her skin, creamy and smooth as silk. She was truly striking. But, there was a coldness about her. It was in her eyes. She had the hard eyes, heartless eyes. Despite the beauty of her face, he could tell she was evil. 'Interesting.' He thought as he listened.
"Sweetie, believe me I'm on your side", said the brown haired woman. "But, you must understand, I have to think of my clients! They are the agency's first priority!" She pleaded with the woman at her side. "THEY are the ones I have to please. I can't afford to lose their business! My company's reputation is at stake! You are a professional, you of all people should know that, Kagura." Said Mina Motoa, owner of the world famous Looking Glass modeling agency.
Kagura Mori staring at her through narrowed eyes. "Of course, I know that, Mina! And, yes I am a professional! But, I also know when I'm being railroaded!" She hissed, angrily at the younger woman. "I STILL have the look people want! It was MY face and MY body that everyone wanted to sell their shit!!!" She huffed in anger, while slamming her fist down on the table. Causing Mina to jump and several others to look their way. She took a deep breath, before she continued. "I'm the best model at you agency, Mina. I need you to get me better jobs! I need money! Especially, after the investments I made, went bad. I lost a good portion of those pennies, that bastard, Sesshomaru, allowed me! I had to sign over my child in order to get him to loosen his wallet! I was forced to give up my home, for the ratty little place I'm living in! I need to support myself, Mina!" Kagura exclaimed. Her voice trembling with fury and sadness, as she pleaded her case to her old friend. "I was ousted from my home. My husband and child, were stolen by some little cakemaking whore!!!"
Upon hearing his nemesis' name mentioned, the man's ears perked up. 'Very interesting! So she is Takeuchi's former wife, huh? HA! Sounds like she could be VERY useful. VERY useful indeed! She could be the very thing I need to execute my little plan!' He mused with an evil smirk. He scooted closer to the two unwitting women. Hearing his love being called a 'cakemaking whore' made him clench his hands into tight fists. 'How dare this slut call MY angel a whore!' He took a deep breath to calm himself. 'I guess I should start off by teaching this bitch some manners!' He continued to listen to the two women.
"I can't imagine how difficult it has been for you, Kagura." Mina said, trying to console her friend by patting her hand. "I know the divorce was hard! But, I have a business to run. Yes, you were the face AND the body that everyone wanted! But, that's just it, Kagura. You WERE." Leaning away from Kagura, she looked into her friends face. "We've known each other for too long, to beat around the bush." She sighed. "I'm sorry Kagura, but after the last job I sent you on...*sigh*...Kagura, no one wants to work with you!"
Kagura blinked at her, in shock. "What are you talking about?"
"It's just as I said. Kagura, you're not the same woman you were before. You're abusive, combative, and overly demanding," she sighed again, heavily. Mina reached over to the space next to them. Opening her briefcase, she pulled out an envelope. Placing it on the table, she slowly slid it to Kagura, who picked it up. "I...I'm sorry, Kagura, but I'm going to have to let you go. I'm so sorry!"
Staring at the envelope, Kagura picked it up. She pulled out the check inside and looked at it. Then looked in Mina's direction and she screamed, "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS...THIS INSULT?!? YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, MINA!!!! I AM KAGURA TAKEUCHI, DAMN IT!!!!"
Mina jumped and looked around, red faced. The entire restaurant was staring at them now. Staring at Kagura, she needed to defuse the situation, quickly! "Please, Kagura, lower your voice. You must calm down! I'm sure you'll be able to find something."
"And, what am I supposed to live off of, until then? Surely not these pitiful crumbs you are trying to give me!" She huffed, throwing the check for $5,000 in Mina's face. "And, you call yourself my friend!?"
Mina started at her friend, with shock and anger. "Of course, I'm your friend, Kagura! To be totally honest, I am probably the only friend you have! Who else would have hired you? Who else would have put up with your foul temperament, and harsh manners! I sent you out on stellar jobs, trying to get you back to the star you were! And, how do you repay ME? You insulted the clients! You destroyed the photographer's studio, resulting in thousands of dollars in damages! You even hit Kenpachiro Sama and smashed his favorite camera! Do you realize, the amount of begging we had to do, I had to do? Just so he wouldn't sue us or you?!?" She sat back closing her eyes, and inhaled deeply to calm her nerves. Once under control again, see opened her eyes, picked up the check and handed it back to Kagura. As she readied herself to leave, she paused to look at her dejected, defeated, and forlorn former friend. Her voice and face softened. "Kagura I suggest you get your life together. You are no longer the young girl, you used to be. And, you are no longer Kagura Takeuchi. Sesshomaru has moved on, and so should you. You must stop your this destructive behavior, it will only lead you to trouble."
At that time, the waitress brought them their check for their lunch. Mina picking it up, and laid a couple of 20s on the table. She then picked up her briefcase and her coat, she stood to leave but paused to smile at her friend. "Despite what you may think or feel, Kagura. I am still your friend! Take care!"
Kagura watched as her friend left. Hurt, stunned, but above all she was angry! 'Move on? HA! That's a good one! How the hell do I do that! Everything I was, everything I had, was just...just ripped away from me! How am I supposed to move on from that?' She mused quietly, as she gathered her things. She stood up from the booth and walked to the bar. She needed another drink, and to come up with a new game plan. 'I will never forgive them! Never! If only there was a way to get back at them for what they did to me. I would make them pay of this. Sesshomaru, his rotten father, my ungrateful bratty of a daughter. And, especially that little bitch he passed me over for! That little wretch, should know how it feels to lose everything she has! Her man, home, security, not to mention her child! They all need to pay, my mistreatment.' She was about to pay for her drink and leave, but she was stopped by a very deep, very male voice behind her.
"Now what a sad sight to behold. No woman as beautiful as you, should be drinking alone." The voice cooed.
Kagura turned and looked at one of the most handsome men she'd every seen. He was tall, dark and extremely good looking. He was dressed from head to toe in Hugo Boss. His aura expelled confidence and authority! 'Who in the hell is THIS?' She wondered, as her heart began to beat a little faster. Playing it cool, she smiled and said, "I'm not drinking, I'm leaving. So if you'll excuse me." She started to leave, when he reached out and touched her arm.
"Now, surely the fabulous Kagura Mori could spare sometime with an adoring fan?"
Kagura stared at him. One delicate brow raised in scrutiny. "Do I know you?"
He gave her a winning smile and said, "No, but I think I am someone you would like to know!"
Giving him a bored expression, she giving him a fake smiled. "I don't think so, now if you'll excuse me, I really have to go."
"That's to bad," he smiled as she walked past him to leave. "Because I just happen to have reservations for the Lotus room tonight, but my date just canceled. So now I will have to cancel my table for tonight."
That stopped Kagura cold. The Lotus Room was one of the most elite restaurants in Japan! It was a favorite spot for celebrities and political figures. She missed being in places like that. "Did you say the Lotus Room? I haven't been there in ages." Then she smiled giving him an appraising look. "What did you say your name was?"
'Got you, bitch!' He smiled, as he offered her his hand. "I'm Heero. Heero Takamoto, at your service."
Back at the hospital...
Everyone sat in the waiting room, listening to Dr. Sui going over Keade's condition. "Well, she is still very weak, and I would like to keep her here for a little while longer," he smiled at InuYasha. "But, I am positive that she will recover nicely!"
InuYasha stood up and hugged Sui tightly, thanking him! He laughed as he hugged her back. "I'm afraid I can't take the credit for her recovery. I'm convinced you had a lot to do with it!" He smiled as he saw Sess come up and retrieve Inu from his embrace. "I believe that if you and Sesshomaru hadn't come home when you did, we might have lost her! Not saying that she's out of the woods, yet. But, it does look really good!"
"When will we be able to take her home?" Yasha asked.
"Well, like I said, I want to keep her here for a while longer. But, I would say, if she keeps improving. Maybe in about 3 to 4 weeks. Which brings me to another topic," Everyone moved in closer, wondering what could be bothering the doctor.
"What is it that concerns you, Dr. Takashi?" Asked an expressionless Sesshomaru, his arm possessively wrapped around his wife. Holding her against his chest. "Please tell us."
Sighing, he gave InuYasha and Sesshomaru a pointed look. "It's about Gram Sama's living arrangements. I know she still has her home, but as things are," he sighed again. "Must suggest making arrangements for full time care."
"What do you mean?" Asked InuYasha.
"You don't mean to suggest, we put my sister into a home?" Asked Hiko. "I know my sister, she won't go for it. And, neither will I. There is room at the shrine. She will stay with us!"
Sui shook his head. "I'm sorry Hiko Sama. But we must think about all the stairs at the shrine. With her heart as weak as it is, plus the injuries to her eye and leg. It could prove...well, difficult."
Hiko sighed and nodded. He hadn't thought of that. Sess and Touga exchanged looks, then they looked at Suikostu. "There is no discussion. Gram will be coming home with InuYasha and myself."
InuYasha turned to look at him. She wanted nothing more than to have Gram live with them. She wanted to talk to him and dad about it first. "Sess, you really mean it? I wouldn't want to just come out and put that kind of burden on you or the rest of the household."
Touga smiled and patted her on the shoulder. "It would be no burden at all. I would love to have her around. And, I'm sure Rin would be on cloud 9. She adores Keade San."
"But..." She started to interject, only to have Sess stop her.
Sess turned her in his arms, smiling at her. "There is nothing to discuss, love." He nuzzled against her neck. "We're a family now, Yasha. Remember? And, this family sticks together. No matter what!"
InuYasha closed her eyes and smiled as she clung onto her husband. Her voice creaked with raw emotion. "Thank you, my dearest love! Thank you so much!"
Looking at Suikostu, Sess smiled, "Gram will be coming home with us. All we will need is a list of what we have to do to make her comfortable."
Suikostu smiled and nodded. "I'll have a make up what you will need and make sure to send it to your home."
