Do or Die

-Well Naraku isn't wearing a pink dress, so I don't own Inu-Yasha-

Naraku groaned as he sat up. The crisp forest air blew through his long tangled black hair while he sighed and gripped his face lightly with his palm. He felt like shit. He felt a wave of nausea wash over him and ran to the closest bush. His retching woke one of his followers up.

"Mi lord?" She squeaked as she ran to his side. She held his hair up and out of his face as he lost his supper from the night before. Her crimson red eyes looked at him with much concern as she rubbed his back slightly; she knew she was the only one to ever get away with it, that's one of the perks to being his medic. "Sir, are you alright?"

"Do I look alright?" Naraku snapped, making her flinch. He stood up and walked over to the river beside their campsite. He started to wash his face and mouth while Kimiko walked over to him.

"Are you sure you don't want me to give you a checkup?" She asked quietly while kneeling down next to him. He glared at her through the corner of his eye as he replied.

"I already know what is wrong; there is no need for you to do that." He replied sternly, hoping that she would leave it at that.

"Then why won't you just tell me?" She just wasn't agreeing with him. He let out a low growl and was about to start yelling at her but was interrupted by his other follower, Ayumi.

"You dumbass, just tell her!" The wolf demon yelled from her spot by the fire. "You and I both know that wolves can smell better than foxes and I know exactly what's wrong!"

"You be quiet!" Naraku snapped at the silver wolf. "I'll tell her when I want to!"

"You could always just tell me now…" The orange fox half-demon mumbled while walking back to the campsite. She plopped next to Ayumi while Naraku glared at the pair. He couldn't help but take in their appearances.

Ayumi was a wolf demon; she had two furry silver tails, along with two bright golden eyes and long silver hair tied in a low ponytail. She looked like any other wolf demon, but in reality she was raised in a demon-ninja village and was constantly using their tactics.

Kimiko on the other hand was half fox demon and half human. She bore two orange fox ears and tail that complimented her short orange hair and red eyes perfectly. She was a medic, nothing more nothing less. Though sometimes she would use her green fox fire and fox magic when it came to battle.

"You're going to have to tell her sooner or later." Ayumi reminded while taking a bite into her apple that she pulled out of nowhere. "You're going to need her help."

"My help for what?" Kimiko whined while looking from Naraku and Ayumi. She pouted slightly while Naraku walked over to the two.

"Will you shut it, you stupid wolf?" Naraku snapped at Ayumi, ignoring Kimiko completely. "It's my business, not yours or Kimiko's!"

"Yes but how exactly will you get that thing out of you without her?" Ayumi smirked while Kimiko cocked her head.

"What?" Ayumi went to reply when Naraku finally tackled her. He started to strangle her while Kimiko tried to pull him off the wolf. "Master, please let her go!"

"This man in unstable!" Ayumi screeched when Kimiko finally pulled him off. Ayumi started to rub her neck while glaring at Naraku.

"Ayumi, are you alright?" Kimiko asked the wolf when Naraku sat back down.

"No," Ayumi replied back as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "A mad man just tried to kill me! Screw you Naraku!" Ayumi then gave Naraku a rather rude hand jester while he turned his head away. "Stupid hormones…"

"Ditto," Naraku replied while crossing his arms.

"Will someone please tell me what's going on?"Kimiko whined while falling onto her back.

"If I tell you will you all just shut up?" He growled with his eyes closed and his eyebrow twitching.

"Yes," The two replied back together. He couldn't help but sigh in defeat while pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Fine!" He growled. "I'm going to have a new incarnation. But this one is different."

"How?" Kimiko cocked her head to the side once again.

"This one is growing inside of me." He replied with a sigh. He pointed to his stomach and continued with his explanation. "Inside my stomach. I don't understand it either but it's the truth."

"Y-you're p-pregnant?" Kimiko stammered with her mouth agape. Naraku nodded slightly while Ayumi smiled widely. "New rule, we keep everything a secret from now on."

"You wanted to know!" Naraku pointed out while Ayumi started to laugh. He crossed his arms and glared at the two. "I'm hungry, go get me some food."

"Do I look like I'm wearing a sign, which says "Naraku's slave" on it?" Ayumi snapped while standing up. "Well I want meat, and if you can't handle that then you can go screw yourself!" With that said, Ayumi ran off to find her beloved meat, leaving Naraku and Kimiko alone in an awkward silence.

"I'll go find some fruits and herbs." Kimiko stated awkwardly while standing. "I think I can brew an herbal medicine that'll help with nausea." Naraku watched her walk away and couldn't help but sigh, what did he get himself into?

"I'm back!" Ayumi greeted cheerfully while dropping a large bore onto the ground. Kimiko returned as well, but she was hauling a rather large basket filled with herbs and fruits. "Kimiko, cook! Now!"

"No, I've got to make medicine for our master." Kimiko replied sternly while walking off to do just that. Ayumi crossed her arms and turned on her heel to glare at Naraku, who was standing not too far away.

"This is your fault, ya know! She used to do whatever I said! Not anymore, thanks to you! Now only listens to you, not me, you!"

"She's just being loyal to me, unlike a certain wolf I know…"

"That's it!" Kimiko stomped over and grabbed Ayumi by the ear, pulled her to a nearby bush, and promptly started to beat the crap out of the wolf. Once the half demon was done, she walked from behind the bush, dusting her hands, and started to clean and cook the boar, while Ayumi crawled over to the fire, only to curl up into a ball.

"You really are an idiot."
