Hi, my name is Chasity and I've been writing Inuyasha fanfics since 2009, but I had never finished one, or even thought of publishing one until now.
I don't own the character Naraku, nor do I own anything Inuyasha related.
I decided to write about Naraku since he is my favorite character, I felt bad that he didn't have anyone who loved him throughout the series. Despite him being the villain I decided to write about him and give him somebody to love. The character in my story isn't the usual Naraku we see in the show and manga, he's less evil, and he doesn't have his tentacles, extra appendages, or incarnations. This story was originally supposed to be a short one-shot, but as more ideas flowed, I ended up making it into a 3-part series ️.
In the future I will be posting several other stories with the same title, but they won't be sequels, or continuations, they'll just be different variations of the same couple pairing, with some other characters sprinkled in there. So, it'll be something like "The Spider and the Rose: Reincarnation" or the "Spider and the Rose: Destiny"...etc.
Without further ado, I hope you like this story and the others I'll post. Don't hesitate to comment, all criticisms are welcome, thanks for reading!
Setting: Naraku and Rose have been living together in Naraku's castle for quite some time, their relationship is fairly new and he is trying to learn how to control his urges. The story begins with them having just finished making love.
The Spider and the Rose: Ukaran Part i
We stared at each other for what seemed like hours.
We were both panting and had sweat covering our naked bodies.
My legs were wrapped around his waist and his hands were wrapped around mine.
If he let me go I would surely collapse onto his hard marble-top desk and he would ravish me all over again.
He kissed me on the cheek and rested his head on my shoulder.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and let my fingers tangle in his long hair.
"Forgive me. I shouldn't have been so rough with you" he said, apologizing for what just happened.
I laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" He asked, confused.
"Nothing, it's just..." I fingered a strand of my hair and looked down at his toned chest. "...I kinda like it when you're 'rough' with me".
His expression turned dark.
"You mean you like it when I slam you against a wall, pin your arms down, rip off your clothes, run my sharp claws over your delicate skin, and leave all kinds of bruises and scratches on your perfect body?"
I looked away from him, ashamed.
"I don't have a "perfect" body" I mumbled.
He gently grabbed my chin and pulled me to face him.
When I refused to meet his gaze, he growled softly, and I reluctantly looked up into his alluring maroon colored eyes.
"We seriously need to consider spending less time together, especially the days leading up to your moon cycle each month".
I stared at him incredulously.
"You're joking! I barely see you now as it is! Now you want to spend LESS time together!? Are you fucking kidding me?!" I yelled hysterically, on the verge of tears.
He shook his head and untangled himself from me and I had to grip the edge of the desk in order to remain upright.
"I said we need to consider it" he stated.
"Why?!" I shouted, my voice cracking.
"Because! …one of these days I could really hurt you...and I wouldn't be able to live with myself…" he held my hand in his "…I know what I am, and what I am capable of. I'm too selfish to let you go, and far too possessive. I love you and I don't want to hurt you" he said as he kissed the back of my hand.
I brushed a strand of hair away from his face.
"But you won't hurt me" I said reassuringly.
He shook his head and smiled half-heartedly
"You humans are so naïve".
He turned to walk away but I grabbed his arm.
"Hey, we're not done with this conversation".
He sighed and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Okay then".
He placed a kiss on my lips and trailed his way down my chest as his hands moved across my stomach and cupped my breasts. His tongue found my left nipple and let out a soft moan. His right hand slid underneath my leg and repositioned me, so I was laying on my back.
He continued to trail kisses all the way down my body until his head was between my legs.
I closed my eyes and braced myself for what was about to happen.
"Rosealie" he murmured.
"Hmm?" I responded as I opened my eyes.
Suddenly, he was hovering over me.
"Starting tomorrow we will be spending less time together. End of discussion".
And with that he walked away.
I jolted into an upright position ready to protest at the top of my lungs, but he had already disappeared into the bathroom.
My left eye twitched and I felt my blood boil.
"NARAKU!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
Hot tears were streaming down my face in frustration as I hopped off of his desk ready to march into the bathroom and give him a piece of my mind.
Unfortunately, my legs were still numb from our "love-making" so, when my feet touched the cold granite floor I collapsed. Hard.
"NARAKU!" I yelled again as I attempted to army-crawl to the bathroom.
"NARAKU!" I screamed, pounding on the bottom of the door.
I reached up and tried wriggling the door knob, but it was locked.
"Let me in! Please?" I begged, hoping that he would open the door.
When he didn't it pissed me off.
"Naraku, you hateful bastard!" I yelled angrily as I continued my assault on the door.
I yelled and beat on the door for what seemed like hours, all the while sobbing uncontrollably, but he never opened the door.
"Naraku, please!" I shouted weakly, my voice was beginning to tire.
"NO!" he yelled from behind the door causing me to jump.
I sat there shaking, afraid that I had finally pushed him too far.
I waited, barely breathing, for him to speak again, but he said nothing.
No sounds came from the other side of the door.
...
I waited, and waited, and waited, but he never came out.
Defeated, I curled myself into a ball on the floor and stared out the open balcony, the sun was setting.
'Starting tomorrow we will be spending less time together'.
His harsh words rang in my ears over and over.
I cried silently as I drifted off to sleep, hoping tomorrow would never come.
Naraku's P.O.V.
I could hear her calling out to me, every instinct screaming at me to go to her and hold her in my arms and promise her everything would be fine.
But I couldn't.
If I went to her I would hurt her.
'That was too close' I thought, recalling how close I came to losing control just minutes ago.
I paced around the bathroom arguing with myself.
"You are doing the right thing" I tried to reassure myself. "But my serum is wearing off".
Just then, I heard her banging against the door.
"Let me in! Please?" she begged.
I could smell her tears, and I felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest.
'I just told her I never want to hurt her, and here I am, hurting her'.
I growled in frustration at myself as she continued to plead with me from the other side of the door.
"I can't do this, I should talk to her, try to get her to understand, or maybe I should tell her..."
I started to reach for the door when suddenly, I smelled her arousal.
I felt my fangs elongate and I braced myself against the sink as my demonic aura surged through me.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror, crimson streaks appeared in my hair, and dark, jagged, markings adorned my face, arms, and torso.
Pitch black eyes stared back at me.
"Naraku, you hateful bastard!" Rose shouted, continuing her assault on the door.
'We could give her something to hate' my inner demon taunted.
"No" I said firmly, though I could feel my control slipping away.
Her scent danced in the air suffocating me.
'Come on Naraku, show her what you really are! Let me out! Let me out! LET ME OUT!'
"NO!" I shouted as I sank my fangs into my own skin, desperately trying to fight the monster inside of me.
'I won't go away so easily' He cackled.
I extended the claws on my right hand and pointed them at my heart, like a dagger.
'You wouldn't dare!' he seethed.
"Try me" I challenged, ready to end it all.
'...fine, I will go, this time, but remember, you cannot keep me from her. I am, after all, a part of you, I crave her just as you do. And I will have my turn'. He warned.
My fangs retracted, and the red streaks disappeared along with the dark markings. Maroon colored eyes stared back at me. I took a shaky breath and ran a trembling hand through my hair.
"I'll never let you near her, I would sooner die" I told him.
I turned my attention back to the door and found that there were no sounds coming from the other side.
I took a deep breath before I unlocked the door and stepped out of the bathroom.
I felt my heart drop as a looked down and found my beautiful Rose laying on the cold floor, naked and shivering.
I gently lifted her into my arms and carried her out of my study and down the hall to our bedroom.
I laid her down on the bed and wrapped her in the dark sheets, all the while, holding my breath so I wouldn't inhale her intoxicating scent.
'Her eyes will swell up if she doesn't ice them'.
I quickly threw on pants and rushed out of the room.
I ordered a female servant to see to Rose and I returned to my study where I found another servant girl cleaning.
"Asami" I said her name, causing her to jump.
"Hai Naraku-sama" she answered.
"I need you to do something for me" I said as I walked over to my desk.
"Anything Naraku-sama" she answered.
I sat down and opened the bottom drawer and pulled out a small box.
"Come here" I told her as I opened the box and pulled out a syringe filled with red liquid.
"I need you to stick this in my chest" I stated, handing it to her.
Her eyes widened in shock.
"Naraku-sama, I don't-".
"Can you do it or not?" I asked, cutting her off.
She thought for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
I reached into the box again and pulled out a larger syringe filled with black liquid.
Her eyes glazed over.
"...Naraku-sa-".
"Relax Asami. You only have to stick me once. These shots must be administered at the same time in order to take effect. Do you understand?"
She nodded.
"On the count of three. One, two, three".
The serums felt like ice in my veins.
Once they settled I could feel my senses beginning to dull.
My sense of smell reduced to the same capacity of a humans and I could no longer smell anything outside of the room I was in.
"Thank you Asami" I said as I placed the empty syringes back into the box.
"Naraku-sama" she started "are...are you sick?" she asked, worried.
"No" I said as I got up to leave, not wanting to answer her questions.
"Do you do it for her?" she asked suddenly.
I glared at her.
"That's a loaded question" I warned.
She shook her head.
"I am sorry, but Naraku-sama, I think…" she shifted uncomfortably and stared down at the floor "I think you should tell her, she doesn't understand how hard it is for you. If she knew…she wouldn't be so...flippant".
I chuckled.
"You think she's disrespectful to me?"
She shrugged.
"Sometimes my lord".
I laughed dryly.
"Alright, tell me Asami, aren't you being disrespecting to me as well? Right now? Asking me questions you don't deserve to know the answers to". s
She looked up at me with fear in her eyes.
"M-my lord I-I-I-" she began.
Suddenly, she fell to her knees, sobbing hysterically.
"P-p-p-p-please d-d-don't k-kill m-m-m-me-e-e-e" she begged.
I laughed, amused
"Calm down Asami, I'm not going to kill you"
She stood and wiped her face.
"You're n-not?"
"No" I said shaking my head. "Now go…before I change my mind".
I smirked at her and she bolted from the room.
I returned to my bedroom and laid down next to Rose.
I wrapped her in my arms and let her scent engulf me.
'If only I could be near her without drugging myself'.
'But you can' a familiar voice said.
'You again? Go away'.
He chuckled darkly.
'The three of us could live in harmony, forever' he enticed.
'Shut up, I need to rest, I'm tired and so are you. The only downside to the serum is that it makes me drowsy, but the good thing is that it keeps you at bay, thus keeping her safe. Now why don't you go crawl back into your hole'.
There was a low growl followed by uninterrupted silence.
'Finally'.
I nuzzled my head into her neck and let sleep claim me.
Rosealie's P.O.V.
I opened my eyes and found myself lost in a sea of black satin sheets atop a massive bed.
I sat up and something cold fell into my lap.
"What the hell?" I wondered as I picked it up "is this ice?" I asked aloud to myself.
I tossed the cold compress onto the floor and pulled back the covers.
I started to get out of bed, but when I felt my leg tremble I quickly reached out and braced myself on the nightstand.
Slowly I dragged my other leg out of the bed and stood up.
I let go of the nightstand, took a step and immediately fell, taking the nightstand down with me.
"Ow!" I exclaimed as I rubbed my side.
Just then the door opened, and the lights came on in the room.
"What happened?!" Naraku asked, appearing before me dressed in a black button up and matching black pants.
His hair was tied back in a low ponytail and he had a concerned expression on his face.
"I fell" I grumbled as he helped me off of the floor and back onto the bed.
"What am I going to do with you?" he said, shaking his head.
"Love me" I said seriously.
"I do" he said as he kissed my hand.
"Then why do you want to leave me?" I challenged, revisiting our conversation.
He sighed.
"Rose, we talked about it, I told you, I'm not leaving you. We simply need to spend less time together, starting tomorrow, remember? End of discussion."
I glared at him, feeling my anger rise again.
"You talked about it. You made the decision for us. You ended the discussion. I am not done talking about it, and I will not comply". I said, daring him to defy me.
He studied my face for a moment before he sighed.
"Okay" he said.
I raised an eyebrow at him, unconvinced.
"Okay?" I asked.
"Okay" he said again as he kissed me.
"Why don't I believe you?" I asked.
"Because you're skeptical" he said with a smile.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"On another note, why was there ice on my face?"
He looked down.
"Your eyes were puffy, they were beginning to swell" he said while absent-mindedly playing with my hand.
I pulled my hand away.
"I cried myself to sleep" I said softly, recalling the awful feelings from earlier.
He took my hand again.
"I know" he murmured.
"I say I don't want to hurt you, and then I end up hurting you. What good am I?"
I took his face in my free hand and placed a kiss on his lips.
"You're perfect" I said kissing him again, deeper this time.
I fingered his shirt buttons, loosening them while my lips danced against his, occasionally slipping him a bit of tongue.
He growled, when he realized that this was an attempt at seduction, and he wasn't in control.
Getting fed up with my teasing, he climbed on top of me.
He trailed kisses down my neck and I rewarded him with pleasurable moans.
He looked up at me, smirking, as his fangs grazed over my right nipple.
"No..mmm..fair...mmmm..I'm…mmmm….naked".
His left hand caressed my other breast and his thumb traced intricate circles around my left nipple.
He ran his fingers along the length of my left leg until they found their destination between my thighs.
I gasped when I felt his thumb come into contact with my clit.
He gently stroked the sensitive pearl, soaking his fingers in my arousal.
I ground my hips into his hand, writhing underneath him, trying to keep my sanity during the triple stimulation he called 'four-play'.
His right hand traded places with his mouth as he trailed kisses down my stomach, toward my womanhood.
His warm tongue explored every crevice of my nether-region while his hands were busy stimulating my breasts.
He moaned into me sending a shock-wave all the way through me that resonated in my soul.
"Naraku" I moaned his name over and over as I gripped the sheets through clenched knuckles. "I'm going to cum".
"Not yet my love" he murmured against my skin as he trailed kisses back up my body to my neck.
Suddenly I felt something hard, huge and warm press against my entrance.
I smiled blissfully, anticipating what was to come.
He positioned himself, his lips never left my throat, his hands never left my breasts.
My fingers tangled in his hair.
"I'm ready" I moaned in his ear.
I could feel him smirking against my skin.
"Are you?" he teased.
I rolled my eyes and bucked my hips, forcing him to enter me.
"Fuck" he removed his hands from my body, so he could brace himself.
"I told you I was ready" I said seductively, biting my lip.
He moved to his knees and pulled me where he wanted me.
"Fine then. Impatient woman. I'll give you more than you can handle".
He threw his hips into mine, plunging himself deep inside me.
"Jesus!" I exclaimed, gripping the sheets.
"He can't save you" he stated as he pulled out of me.
I bit my lip and dragged my nails down his toned chest and torso.
He shivered and thrust into me again, slow and deep.
"Mmmm, c'mon, give me more. What are you afraid of?" I whined.
He growled then gripped the back of my knees in his hands and began thrusting in and out of me in a steady rhythm, all the while, receiving satisfied moans from me.
He quickened the pace when I bucked my hips and my eyes rolled back in pleasure.
With every thrust he went deeper, harder and faster, easily making me breathless.
His hands moved from behind my knees to the tops of my thighs and spread my legs like butterfly wings.
He slowed his pace and dove in deeper and harder.
A low growl escaped his lips and he closed his eyes, losing himself in the moment.
He got off his knees and met my chest with his own as he pulled me in close.
He slammed into me roughly almost causing me to choke.
He increased speed and began pumping in and out of me like a mad man.
I dragged my nails down his back screaming his name to the heavens as our climaxes hit simultaneously.
Naraku stared down at me silently, drinking me in like this was the last time he would see me.
He pulled out of me slowly and laid down beside me.
He wrapped his arms around me and covered us both in a sea of black satin.
"I love you" I mumbled against his chest.
His fingers played in my hair.
"I love you too" he murmured, placing a kiss on my forehead.
"...Rose?" he asked after a moment.
"Hm?" I answered, struggling to stay awake.
"If you could live with me forever... would you?"
I yawned.
"Naraku, I need you to make up your mind, first you wanted to see less of me, now you want me to live with you forever, which is it?"
He hugged me tighter.
"Just answer the question darling, please?"
I sighed.
"Of course I would live with you forever, if I could...but I'm only a human".
I yawned and snuggled closer to him.
"Goodnight sweetie" I mumbled as I let sleep claim me.
...
I opened my eyes and found myself in an empty bed.
I pulled back the covers and heard something crinkle.
I found the source of the noise, a note with black writing.
I sat up and adjusted my eyes to the small beam of light peaking in from behind the balcony curtains and began to read.
To My Love Rosealie, words can only attempt to express how much you mean to me, I care for you so deeply... That is why I must leave, I don't want to hurt you, but every kiss, every touch, every beautiful climax brings me one step closer to the monster inside me. I can keep him at bay by numbing myself, but I'm beginning to develop an immunity. I am so sorry for the pain this will cause you. I will return once I have found a way…if you will wait for me, forgive me, I'm asking too much. I love you my darling and if I must move heaven and hell to be with you, I will.
Forever yours,
Naraku
I held the note in my hands, scanning the words a hundred times as tears flowed steadily down my face.
"I hate him! I hate him! I HATE HIM!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, wishing I could have done something, anything to prevent this.
I threw the letter onto the floor and curled up in his sheets, letting his lingering scent overwhelm me.
"Dry your tears my sweet darling there is no need to weep" a familiar voice said as a figure emerged from the shadows.
I squinted, trying to see who was talking to me.
Just then, he stepped into the light revealing himself.
'Naraku?' I thought.
Dark eyes stared back at me.
'No...not naraku...who then?'
The demon had bright red hair, and black jagged markings adorning his face, torso and arms.
He looked just like Naraku, only I felt very uneasy in his presence.
"Who are you? ...what do you want?" I asked slowly, trying not to reveal how terrified I was.
He grinned, flashing his large pearly white fangs at me.
"I am called, Ukaran, but you my pet, you can call me Naraku".
The End. For now.
