---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the cold night of November Ruby was walking home from school, silently wishing that she had taken up Andrews offer on the lift home.
The wind blew harshly through the weeping willows on either side of her, surrounding her in a cloak of light green.
'BUURRR' she exclaimed pulling her thin jacket closer to her slender frame.
'It would be a miracle if I get home without catching pneumonia' she mumbled regretfully to herself.
When the willow branches parted she caught a quick glance of white and blue.
'What is that?' she asked herself curiously.
Drawing closer to its source she found that it was some sort of giant baboon suit.
'Okay someone doesn't know that Halloween is over'.
Rubbing her hand over the white fur she found it had a worn feeling to it. What?
Glancing around her she could not see anyone but herself occupying the closed park space.
Maybe someone was throwing it out? But why not put it in a bin? Why just slump it here over a park bench? Questions began to swim around in her head and, shaking her head violently she tried to rid herself of such absurdities.
Why should she care if someone discarded their old Halloween costume on the bench, it has nothing to do with her, she was curious and bored.
Letting her hand slid off the pelt she turned on her heel ready to leave the small secluded park.
'Do you like it?' a deep and hunting tone asked her from the shadows beyond the trees.
Ruby stopped in her tracks feeling her heart stick sickly in her throat.
Frantically searching around her she could not find the source of the voice…it was as if it was coming from all around her.
RUBY! Calm down it's probably some guy playing a prank on her…or maybe he was a very drunk man…a strong drunk man! Ruby began to panic.
Right before she was about to run a tall shadowed figure appeared to her right…scaring her half to death.
A sinister laugh escaped the shadowed figure, causing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand on end.
What a disgusting, creepy laugh. She shivered. Was it her or did the cold weather become even more bitter and demented.
'Who are you?, What do you want?, Come out here!' she demanded.
It seemed as though time had come to play with her by stretching the moment out for as long as possible until finally the figure cloaked in the shadows decided to show itself.
As the last shadows were expelled from his face Ruby found it extremely hard not to gasp at the tall man now directly in front of her.
'Uuuuuhhhhhh' Ruby muttered incoherently.
With a smirk that made her feel sick to her stomach Ruby cringed.
It wasn't that he was ugly and vile, no he was quiet handsome with his waist length black wavy hair and bangs that parted in the middle of his pale complexion or his twisted upturned mouth.
No, it was the sinister, cold red eyes that pierced through her as if searching for something deep within her, wanting to tear her apart from the inside.
She gulped.
'Well, you haven't answered my question wench' his lethal tone jaunting at her.
Ruby snapped out of her daze. 'Who do you think you are calling me a wench'
Instantly her hand flew quickly over her mouth as she stared at the man in front of her. Oh my god, am I trying to get myself killed? she mentally screamed at her self.
A flicker of anger crossed the man's face and disappeared as quickly as it had come.
'Well what should I call you?' he asked in a taunting tone, all the while moving closer to her until he was practically towering over her.
Sinking back under his scrutinizing gaze she stared at the grass beneath her feet.
'Am, my name's Ruby, Ruby Mitzuami'.
'Is that so?' He asked coldly. 'Well, Ruby, I have a little favour that you can do for me'.
'Am, like what?' she asked cautiously.
Chuckling, the man walked over to the pelt and lazily picking it up he turned to her, holding out the pelt for her to take it.
She looked at him, confused. 'What do you want me to do with that?'
Without any warning his face was suddenly millimeters from her face.
A violent blush spread across her face before utter panic came over her.
Staring deeply into her eyes he gently took her chin between his finger and thumb.
'I, Naraku, want you, Ruby, to wear this pelt, nothing more, nothing less'. He then pulled back and slid the pelt into her hands.
She stared dumbfounded at the pelt that now occupied her once fidgety hands.
Suddenly she looked up at him with questioning eyes.
'What's the catch?'
The man, Naraku, blinked at her. 'Catch?' he smiled, 'Why has there got to be a catch?'.
Ruby tilted her head, confused. 'Well, some stranger doesn't come up to someone and tell them to wear a pelt for no reason, that's why. 'Unless….'
She eyed the pelt suspiciously 'There's not spiders in it, is there?' She shivered at the thought.
Naraku, who had been keeping his penetrating gaze on her, smiled wickedly. 'No there are no spiders in it' he said matter-of-fact.
'Then it's stolen!' Ruby stated.
Naraku shook his head, beginning to become annoyed with this ever questioning wench.
'The pelt is mine, I just wanted….'
He stopped trying to think of how to convince this bothersome girl to put on his pelt, looking at her face he noticed that at the remains of a blush was still on her face. He smiled inwardly. This girl is so naive.
Clasping her chin again he leaned his face so close to hers that he could feel her cool breath swim over his mouth he trailed his gaze over her small mouth up to her ocean blue eyes, making it obvious of what he was thinking.
Ruby's face began to boil. A gasp escaped her mouth before she could contain it.
'I', he began intensely 'Want to see what you would look like in it, a beautiful girl like you…'
Straightening up he waited for her reaction.
Stuttering with embarrassment Ruby let her gaze drop to the pelt in her hands. Her mind began to race.
'Am….alright' she muttered breathlessly. What harm would it do to just put it on then take it straight off?
With a spark of determination she grabbed the pelt up and through it over her head letting the worn skin slid gracefully over her.
She gasped. It's so warm!
Looking up she saw Naraku still staring at her, he smiled.
'Put the mask on' He urged, his tone deep and luscious.
Ruby's heart began to thump painfully.
Grabbing the mask she pulled it over her head and looked up to see Naraku staring down at her with satisfaction.
A deep chuckle escaped his throat.
Ruby's hand instantly shot up to her head.
'Why do I feel so light headed?'
Darkness began to eat away her vision on each side.
'What's wrong with me?' she managed to choke out.
Before the darkness had completely taken over her vision Naraku's eerie laugh erupted darkly as she fell numbly to the ground, unconscious.
