"Hey Naraku guess what I got." Hiten held out a ticket.

The dark haired man raised an eye brow to the smiling man.

"What's that?" He asked.

"I got you a ticket to a magic show tonight. I already invited the guys."

Naraku rolled his eyes. "Magic shows are for little kids."

"But they told me that this magician is really good. Come on, they have beer half off tonight." Hiten winked.

Sighing Naraku gave in. It wasn't like he had anything better to do.

"Alright."

Later that night he dressed in his black shirt and pants. He liked black. He also liked purple but he didn't feel like wearing that color.

He met up with Hiten, his brother, Juromaru, Muso and Byakuya. They were waiting by the entrance for him. They were snickering amongst themselves.

"What are you guys planning?"

Hiten held out a water balloon.

"We are going to throw them at the end of the act."

Naraku smirked. "So we're going to cause trouble. We are getting too old for this?"

Hiten put the water balloon in his book bag. "Come on it will be fun."

They entered the building. The room wasn't like theater but more like a restaurant with a bar and waiter.

They sat at the back near the exit. Juromaru couldn't keep in his laughter.

Naraku sat with one leg crossed over the other. The show didn't start for another ten minutes. By then they had ordered a few beers. Muso was already drunk by the time the lights turned off and the music started playing. A loud voice came from the speakers.

"All the way from New York, I give you the Lord of Magic, the Silver wonder himself, Sesshoumaru."

A cloud of dust exploded. When it cleared a tall man with golden eyes and long silver hair appeared on stage. He had bangs and a cresant tattoo on his forehead. On his cheeks he had red strips that stood out from his fare completion. He wore a completely white suit with a white top hat. The opposite of Naraku.

"He's pretty." Naraku said to himself.

"Maybe he'll let you hold his wand after the show." Hiten snickered.

The show started with the man holding out his white hat. Naraku rolled his eyes thinking he was going to pull out a bunny or puppy but instead the man pulled out a long sharp sword. The blade sparkled in the dark.

Smiling the silvernet net snapped his finger. A large piñata was lowered from the ceiling. He called forth a woman from the crowed.

She nervously stepped into the piñata.

"Now I shall sacrifice this woman to the demons of the night." The magician's voice was smooth and deep. It sent a shiver down Naraku's spine. More smoke appeared and some hood figures appeared on stage.

Every one gasped while he rolled his eyes.

The figures circled around the piñata chanting loudly. Then the piñata was raised up high. Sesshoumaru used his sword to cut the thing in half earning himself more gasps from the audience. The piñata was empty.

As the crowed clapped Naraku groaned. He took another sip of his bear.

"Lame." He yelled. "The women snuck out the back door and put a hood on so she blended in with the demons." he yelled.

Many eyes turned towards him. "And the sword was plastic toy that bent into each other like those old light sabers kids use to play with. While everyone was busy watching the demons chant he switched it with a real one."

Sesshoumaru eyes narrowed and scowl.

"Show us something good Lord of Magic." Hiten badgered.

"Yea. We've seen this all before." Naraku yelled. He laughed and continued to drink his beer feeling a slight buzz. "Or do you only have smoke and mirrors to offer us." He sneered.

Sesshoumaru smiled deviously. "I see we have some hecklers tonight. Well I hate to disappoint my fans so let me show you one of my newest tricks. But I'll need a brave volunteer. How about you Sir?"

His white gloved hand pointed to Naraku.

"Don't do it. He will make a fool of you." Byakuya warned.

"Come now Sir, nothing to fear. It's all just smoke and mirrors, remember." He sneered. "Or should I find someone braver. Maybe a little girl…."

Naraku stood up. Glaring he walked towards the stage. The man returned his icy stare with a daring smile.

Naraku stood on stage in front of him.

Sesshoumaru pulled out a long thick rope from his pocket.

Another cheap trick.

"Now Sir I want you to try and tie me up with this rope." He handed it to Naraku and turned around with his hands behind his back waiting.

Naraku sighed in relief glad the other wouldn't try to tie him up.

Smirking he held the rope tightly. He was a boy scot when he was little and knew how to make unbreakable knots.

He didn't expect the rope would come to life and start slithering around like a snake. He screamed when it lunged at him. The rope wrapped around his hands and ankles trapping him. The next thing he knew he was hanging upside down from the ceiling.

"Help. Get me down you freak." He screamed. His body swung back and forth.

The crowed started to laugh.

Naraku looked around, even his friends where laughing at him. Completely humiliated his face turned bright red. Thrashing against his bindings he roared till Sesshoumaru levitated him down. The rope untwisted from his wrist and ankles setting him free.

"Let's give him a big applause." Sesshoumaru said mockingly as he slowly clapped his hands.

People clapped at the ravenett as he angrily stomped back to his seat.

"He got you good." Hiten laughed.

Naraku sent a glare that froze his friend. Angrily he looked back at the stage. Sesshoumaru was doing another trick. Their eyes met and he winked at him.

Even more infuriated now Naraku turned towards his friends.

"Get the balloons out and wait for my signal." He growled.

He waited till Sesshoumaru was standing on the edge of the stage. Arrogantly he smiled to the crowed.

"Now for my next trick I will make something disappear."

"I hope its your act because it sucks." Naraku yelled. "Now"

At least ten water balloons flew into the air. Most landed on stage while a couple hit the people nearest to it. The one Naraku threw landed right on Sesshoumaru. The look of shocked was priceless. His eyes widen in disbelief.

Bright yellow liquid drenched his white suit. A foul smell filled the air. Naraku and his friends where laughing. When they heard someone call security they went running with their beers. Beers they hadn't paid for either.

Naraku took one last look at the still shocked magician and winked back before sticking his tongue out and laughing.

Dodging the people in the hall way they managed to run outside the building. Hiten threw his empty beer bottle at a white van with Sesshoumaru's face on it. The window shattered and they laughed even more when doves flew out.

They ran for blocks still laughing. They didn't stop till they reached the city park.

"Oh man that was funny." Byakuya chuckled. He was bent over panting.

"Did you see his face? God I wish I recorded it." Muso said. Finishing his beer he threw it to the ground letting it shatter.

"What did you put into those balloons?" Naraku asked. He whipped the sweat from his forehead.

"You don't wanna know man."

They laughed and drank for two more hours. Hiten had brought some pot so they were happily smoking that as well.

Naraku was still giggling to himself thinking of the silver man's face.

"Better be careful Naraku. He might put a spell on you." Muso joked.

"Yea, he might curse me. Tomorrow I'll wake up green with no hair." He laughed.

Naraku looked at his watch. It was getting late. He should be getting home before Bankotsu worried. His boy friend was always worried about him.

"See you guys later." He called before leaving.

Naraku walked down the streets still laughing about his bad deeds. His didn't notice the shadows running up and down the walls.

The streets were completely empty around this time of night. It was quiet and peaceful, just the way he liked it. Taking a right turn he walked down an alley that would get him home faster. He couldn't wait to get home and snuggle into bed with his boy friend.

"woof"

Naraku jumped from the loud bark. Turning around he saw a large dog standing ten feet away from him.

"Shoo, go away." Naraku turn around and started walking again. When he took a step forward, so did the dog. When he stopped the beast stopped as well. It annoyed him to no end. He could hear the dog copying his movements.

"Go away I hate dogs." He turned around and was surprised to see that the dog had disappeared and in his place was the magician. He had his hands in his pockets and his suit was no longer stain.

"Cute trick. How long it take you to teach the dog how to copy people footsteps?"

The man stayed silent.

"Well at least you don't smell anymore."Naraku chuckled. "What still mad at me? It was just a little prank. I thought you liked tricks." He taunted with a fake pout.

"You ruined my show." The man said angrily.

"Ruined it? I made it better. Those people will never forget you…. Or how you smelled." He chuckled. "Well I loved to chat more but I got to get home before my bae misses me." He turned around but was shocked to see Sesshoumaru standing right in front of him.

"Mirrors" he brushed off.

Sesshoumaru smiled showing his white teeth.

"Get out of my way man." The dark haired man growled.

"You have to be punished for what you did." He leaned in making Naraku step back. This man had a weird feel to him. It was like a heavy cloud draped over him.

It was getting hard to breathe with this man near him.

"What are you going to do? Turn me into a rabbit and use me in you act?" Naraku said sarcastically.

"There's an idea." He chuckled.

Naraku back up till he hit the wall. Sesshoumaru had closed in on him. He placed a hand on either side of the dark haired man's shoulders trapping him.

Naraku gasped when he saw his eyes change to bloody red. His teeth grew longer like fangs and the tattoo on his forehead started to glow.

He couldn't move as the man slowly closed in on him. His face inched close with every passing second. Naraku closed his eyes and turned his head to the side.

"What's wrong Naraku? It's just smoke and mirrors, remember?" he chuckled darkly.

"How do you know…" Naraku eyes shot open. The man was kissing him.

Bankotsu is going to kill me. Naraku closed his eyes again. Was it wrong to think that the kiss was magical? He was being kissed by a magician. Slowly their tongues played together. Naraku felt his body tingle. The man really was a good kisser. He felt huge arms wrap around him.

With his eyes closed he wined when Sesshoumaru pulled away. Still keeping his eyes closed Naraku pushed against his chest. The man was holding him so tight he was lifted off the floor.

His thoughts of his boy friend forgotten. All he wanted was more of this man.

Sesshoumaru chuckled and petted his head.

"Open your eyes Naraku." He said soothingly.

Naraku looked up and froze. Sesshoumaru was huge. He had grown into a monster. He tried to push him away but something was wrong. His body didn't feel right. He tried to scream when he saw his hands but all that came out was a tiny squeak. His hands were short back fur paws. His whole body was covered in back fur.

Chuckling again Sesshoumaru held him up by his ears, which were now on the top of his head, and very long.

"You will make an excellent addition to my show."

Naraku barley had time to register what had happen before Sesshoumaru stuffed him inside his hat. After that the word went dark.
