Chapter 1: What is love?
Hello! This is my first fanfic! I noticed that Kagura and Naraku don't get much love as the other characters in Senran Kagura. I was mad about the lack of attention they deserve, so I wrote this fanfic lol. This story does contain XXX scenes but that will be in many later chapters. Don't worry XXX scenes don't really impact the story if you don't like those type of scenes I will give a warning and you can skip it! :D The story really just follows the characters in their regular lives of what I think of my fantasy. I attend school so please don't get mad if I don't post daily. I'll say about at least one chapter per week. Of course, this story will contain *SPOILERS* from Senran Kagura Deep Crimson. If you have not played it don't worry I will explain the important parts of the game and Kagura's and Naraku's background story throughout the chapters. I also don't like using profanity. Well, thanks for reading and enjoy the story!
"Naraku I want to play at the park!"
Naraku was holding hands with the child whom she protects agreed with her and continued to head to their house after they just left the grocery store.
They live in a small neighborhood and the same city as the other characters.
After fighting Asuka and Homura and Naraku's confession to stay together. They both went to tell their clan what they plan to do for the rest of their lives the clan did not accept it at first. Believing that True Kagura should do what she was here for and Naraku to help her full fill it.
After a year of convincing and staying at the village, they finally accepted their new destiny and let them free.
They decided to live in the same city as the other characters because they really enjoyed spending time with them and miss the times they spent together with the friends even it was just a little bit. Besides, there was nothing to do at the village of the clan.
Once they entered their small home and finished putting their newly bought products they went to the park near them. It was a city park where couples and families would spend time together.
"Naraku higher!"
The greenette was now pushing Kagura on the swings while the sunset dims beautifully. It was the beginning of October.
Families would leave when it's getting dark while love couples would enjoy the park, even more, walking down the concrete walks admiring the scene and the quietness.
"Hey, Naraku and Kagura!"
Naraku stopped pushing the swing and turned around to the familiar voice. It was the granddaughter of the legendary Hanzo and her girlfriend Homura.
"Oh, Asuka and Homura good evening what brings you here?" Naraku said surprised.
Kagura jumped off the swing and gave Homura and Asuka a cheerful greeting.
"Don't you know that this is a popular hangout for couples to enjoy during the night?" Homura said holding hands with Asuka.
"Now, that you mentioned it I do notice it, we don't come here that often you know since we just moved to this town recently," Naraku explained.
"What's a love couple?" Kagura said innocently.
Asuka couldn't hold back her cuteness meter any longer and went to pick up the small child and started to cuddle her.
"Well, a love couple is when two people like each other very much in a romantic way and they never want to be separated," Asuka stated while looking at the confused Kagura.
"Oh, just like Naraku and me!" Kagura said happily and innocently.
"Wait for you two are a couple?" Homura said amused.
"No, it's a misunderstanding we are not a love couple," explained a blushing Naraku.
"What how come!?" Asuka said sadly.
"Yeah, Naraku don't you love me?"
said Kagura also confused and sad.
"I do love you! what Asuka means by
love she means in a romantic way such as two people shows affections to each other and believe they are made for each other." Naraku explains as best as she could.
"But I believe we are like that Naraku!" said a happy Kagura.
Naraku hesitates that she cannot describe the word love any other way, but opens her mouth to further explain, she then suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned around and see Homura staring at her. Naraku looks at Homura and nods.
Asuka releases Kagura from her embrace and Kagura went inside Naraku's bag and eats a red orb turning her to the teenager form.
Kagura is now more aware of what's going on but she doesn't completely understand the word love in a romantic way.
The night was quiet and almost empty as they chatted a little more about other topics and finally separated to their own homes. While walking back home Naraku's mind was full of questions she doesn't quite understand yet.
Kagura was taking a bath while Naraku prepared dinner it was salmon with a side of rice and also Miso soup.
Naraku had the tv on to watch the news while she finished up cooking dinner.
Kagura stepped inside the kitchen she was wearing pure white silk pajamas.
"It smells good."
"It will be done shortly," said Naraku finishing up food.
"The bath water is still hot I can finish up making the food if you like?" said the teenager as she stood beside her guardian.
"It's fine to give me a moment and I'm almost done thank you Master Kagura." As Naraku did the last steps of the cooking.
-5 minutes later-
Kagura was now setting up the table while Naraku was taking her bath. They didn't mind using the same water to take baths they liked the idea to use less water and the reused bath water wasn't even that dirty. It also saved money for them not like they were poor because they have good paying jobs for eliminating troublesome Yomas that the government, organizations, or villages paid them to do. They just like the idea to go green.
But Naraku did keep in mind she is using the same water as Kagura was just bathing in. Now when she thinks about it she starts to blush and tells herself (Why am I now thinking about something like this?) It was unusual because Naraku didn't mind at all when she shared the same water as Kagura, they been doing that ever since they lived together, but now it feels like Naraku is developing new feelings for her master, feelings she never felt or thought before. Naraku finished cleaning herself and got up from the tub.
-A few minutes later-
Naraku was now eating at the same table with Kagura. Usually Kagura would ask a lot of questions mostly in her child and teenage form since most of her memories are hidden or disappeared and Kagura is reborn every century but of course, Naraku doesn't mind she actually enjoys the time with her master.
"Hot soup feels nice mostly during chilling weather," the black haired girl says as she finished her bowl.
"Yes, it is. Would you like some more?" Naraku asks smiling.
Kagura accepts and gave her bowl to the other teenager.
-A few minutes later-
They finished eating and Naraku was doing the dishes while Kagura cleans up the table.
"Naraku can I ask you a question?"
"Yes, ask me any questions until you are satisfied."
"Naraku, about tonight at the park…"
Naraku stops cleaning the last spoon that she was washing and faces the curious short black haired teenager.
"I'm going to ask this question again. Do you love me?" Said Kagura calmly but seriously.
"If you mean by love as family would do then, of course, I would stay wi--"
"I mean as the romantic way," Kagura said still curious.
Kagura felt her face started to flush again. She did not know how to answer a question like that. She didn't know herself now if she truly loved her master as a love partner.
"W-W-Why would you ask something like that?" Naraku said slowly and embarrassed.
"It's fine Naraku you don't have to answer that question if you don't the answer to it yet" explain Kagura as she finished wiping down the table.
"Yes, I'm sorry master Kagura I'm sorry I could not answer that question for you yet," said Naraku as she also finished the dishes.
"Really it's fine Naraku don't think about it too much, well I'm going to head to bed good night Naraku," said Kagura as she walks toward the bathroom to brush her teeth.
"Yes, you are right good night master Kagura," said Naraku as she turns off the Tv and heads to her own restroom.
-40 minutes later-
Naraku couldn't sleep she was laying on her bed still thinking about what happened at the park and after dinner.
Kagura was sleeping in her master's bedroom. Sometimes child Kagura would sleep in Naraku's room but if Kagura is not in her child form then she is aware that it would be different if she slept on the same bed as Naraku as she is the same age as her or older.
Naraku was staring up at the pitch darkness that surrounded the room. She kept thinking about Kagura. The greenette would never think this much about her master, of course, Naraku is her guardian, but still, she never thought of her master this much. Ever since the park and after dinner she is confused asking herself many questions she doesn't know the answers to them.
Ever since the park she felt like she developed new feelings she wasn't sure what it was at first but during after dinner when Kagura ask if she loved her. Naraku now begins to recognize the mysterious feelings as romantic love towards her master.
Naraku never thought about love before to anyone she always considered master Kagura as a long life friend and a master. Naraku tries to deny that she loves Kagura, but her newly found feelings still stick to her like glue. Naraku asked her self "It's it right for a guardian to fall in love with her master?"
Naraku feels like it is wrong but her true feelings didn't bother to leave. Naraku sat up on her bed she was trying to deny the feelings. Angrily, she slapped her fist on her bed, she felt unworthy to love such an amazing external being such as Kagura, but the other side of her is now invading her false feelings.
"I'm not in love. I'm not in love" she repeated those words under her breath.
Naraku then remembers all the memories she spent with her. From her childhood, she watches Kagura in the orb waiting for her arrival, from when she gets cuts and injuries guarding Kagura against the Yoma generals and meets Asuka and Homura and their friends, the confession to stay with Kagura, and now.
Slowly, the greenette's false feelings began to disappear. She now starts to accept the true feelings once she knows that she cannot lie to herself anymore and says the following under her breath,
"I'm in love with my master."
