YAY! SECOND CHAPTER!!!! Ok, so I have a few things to say. The Fukuoka tournament is real, Hakuho Sho is real, and all of his information is correct ((that I know of)). And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, well read the story and you will. Oh yes, and honestly I think I'm doing really bad at describing stuff and I think they way I'm writing it sucks, but I'm too lazy to delete it and fix it somehow, so yea...
DISCLAIMER: Me no own Inuyasha. Ooooh, how I wish I did though. He would never be the same again. (grins)
To DarkAngel1134: As I had no other way to answer your review this shall be my answering... thing lol. Ok so yes, robbing the cradle is what is going on here, but like you said, it doesn't much matter anymore. And this is a fantasy world where unicorns are common and pigs have wings ((not really)). I mean there's even stranger stuff out there than this kinda thing too, oh yes and between you and me, and anyone else who reads this, Kagome ((in this story)) has a thing for older guys, no matter how much she denies it. (takes a deep breath and begins to recite) As I always say, denial is only a defense mechanism to cover your guilt... or something like that. I can't remember anymore lol.
Chapter 2
Inuyasha continued talking at top speed as we walked all the way around to the backside of Tokyo Dome, which had screaming fans everywhere, which Inuyasha totally ignored, and into the waiting stretch limousine. We scooted all the way to the end facing away from the driver, as Sesshomaru and then Naraku got in. Sesshomaru grinned at me, as I looked out the black tinted window at all of the screaming fans male and female alike, holding signs and screaming their adoration.
"Holy shit! You guys have to deal with this all the time?!" I asked, totally shocked.
"Yes." The three males said at the same time. I snorted, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Damn glad I'm not famous." I said to the amusement of Inuyasha.
"I think you're the only girl I've ever met that wouldn't care to be famous, and you're definitely the only girl I've met that hasn't tried to jump me on first meeting me... even if you did climb into my lap to get away from Sango." He laughed. I blinked in confusion.
"Then Kikyo… jumped you?" I asked, trying to picture my prim and proper cousin jumping a famous singer. Inuyasha nodded.
"Yea, after she got over the shock of me she did." He chuckled. "It was a sight to see."
"I bet." I muttered, barely able to hold back hysterical laughter at the mental image of Kikyo flying at Inuyasha in slow motion, his face showing horror. That was it. I burst out laughing and fell off the seat, rolling around on the floor of the limo, coming to a stop at the other end of it, against someone's feet. I began to dread that the someone wasn't one of the two people in the car that liked me. I turned my head slowly to find Naraku staring at me indifferently.
"Having fun?" He asked rudely. I narrowed my eyes at him and heard a ding in my head. I had an idea. I grinned at him.
"Not quite yet, but I will be in about three seconds." I said and before he could ask me what I was talking about, I clamored up onto his lap, facing away from him, and grasped his pants, wrapping my legs around his so it would be harder for him to throw me off. As soon as he realized what I'd done I felt his body stiffen underneath me as I grinned at Inuyasha whose eyes were widening every second. I began to feel my eyes widen as I realized the vibrating under me wasn't the limo but Naraku growling.
"Oh shit." I muttered to myself and tried to scramble off of him as fast as I could. I was stopped by my shirt, which I realized the back of was wrapped in his fist. I slowly sat back down, stopping my shirt from being ripped. I felt him pull me back against him, and he leaned down slightly, his breath against my ear.
"This is your only warning. Do not ever sit on me again without my permission, human." He growled and suddenly let go, pushing me off him. I went flying to the other seat, landing against Inuyasha.
"Sorry." I muttered and righted myself. Naraku snorted and grumbling looked out the window. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha looked between us as I looked out my window as well.
We arrived ten minutes later in front of a huge apartment building that was pretty normal, which Inuyasha explained was so that no one would expect that they would live there, that it was inconspicuous, to which I pointed out that arriving in a limo wasn't really helping. Inuyasha had looked at me and then at the limo he was sitting in and laughed.
"I never thought of that." He said. I nodded.
"Yea, I know." I answered and without another word moved through the limo and after snorting in Naraku's direction, climbed over him to get out of it. I heard a low growl and when I was out I turned around and flipped him the bird. He snarled and jumped out after me. I grinned and ran around it with him chasing me. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha got out next and stood by the door watching us until I came around the limo and hid behind Sesshomaru, in between him and Inuyasha. Naraku snarled at me and I stuck my tongue out at him childishly. Sesshomaru looked down at me disapprovingly and bade Inuyasha take me in while he pulled Naraku aside and talked to him.
Inuyasha and I went all the way up to the penthouse, fifty floors up, and as he opened the door to the penthouse apartment, I gasped. There was a huge living room right in front of me and a dining table and chairs about five feet over from that, a kitchen next to the dining table and behind the couch in the living room was a hallway that had three doors. When I asked Inuyasha where they led, he told me that the first door was the bathroom, the second door was Naraku's room and the third door was his room. I looked at the couch. It was leather.
"So, um… where am I going to sleep?" I asked. Inuyasha had a mischievous grin on his face.
"Well I wouldn't dream of you sleeping on our uncomfortable couch, as I believe Sesshomaru is spending the night and will sleep there, and my bed is off limits because Kikyo would kill both of us, so it looks like you'll be sleeping in Naraku's room. He's got a king-sized bed, so you'll both have plenty of room." Inuyasha grinned and headed into the kitchen. I snorted.
"Great, now he'll have the chance to kill me in my sleep, what with me being such a deep sleeper and all." I muttered to myself, and heard Inuyasha laughing from the refrigerator. "It's not funny, Inuyasha! And you're gonna be the one that has to tell Naraku!" I yelled.
"Tell me what?" A soft voice said behind me. I jumped, screamed and spun around to face Naraku himself. He was smirking at me. I narrowed my eyes and then smirked back. Sesshomaru was standing behind him. They might have come in silently and scared the crap out of me but I was the one about to get the last laugh.
"Oh, Kagome's sleeping with you, Naraku." Inuyasha said as he balanced a bunch of ingredients for what looked like sandwiches, in his arms, and a packet of something in his mouth, muffling his words a little bit. I watched Naraku's face as his smirk slowly faded and his eyes turned to hard rubies. He snarled.
"Not a snowball's chance in hell!" He yelled. I laughed.
"Oh don't worry, I won't do anything. You're not much of my type anyway. I don't like crotchety paranoid old men." I said with a shrug and skipped into the kitchen to help Inuyasha.
"Crotchety? Paranoid? Old?" Naraku repeated. I looked up at him.
"Yes, crotchety, paranoid, old. Do you need a hearing aid or do you enjoy repeating people?" I asked. He snarled again.
"I'll show you crotchety, paranoid, and old, you little smart-mouthed bitch." I sighed as he spoke menacingly through gritted teeth, adding a final snarl for good measure.
"You know, you should probably stop with the snarling thing. You sound like a dying lawn mower. So you want onions on your sandwich? I'm making them." I said, smiling at him. He blinked at the sudden subject change and then narrowed his eyes. I was able to read what he was thinking quite easily, and waved my hand up and down a few times, with a grin.
"Don't worry, I won't poison it. I don't much like how mean you are but I don't want you dead." I said. He huffed and flopped down on the couch.
"I'm not hungry." He mumbled.
"Well I'm making you one anyway. It's not healthy to skip meals." I said while I packed on all the vegetables I could onto his sandwich. If he didn't like them, well he'd just have to suck it up. Sesshomaru came into the kitchen and watched as I made the sandwiches. They were professional status, as I worked at Subway, and knew how to make a really well-made sandwich. Inuyasha was over by the stove cooking Ramen, and whistling a very familiar tune. I unconsciously began singing it as I finished up Naraku's sandwich. When I looked up from my work of art I realized that all three of them were looking at me, Inuyasha staring, Sesshomaru smiling, and Naraku looking like he'd swallowed a bug.
"What?" I asked, looking at each of their faces. "Do I have a booger?" I asked lifting my hand to my nose. Inuyasha shook his head.
"You can sing." He said in a reverent tone. I blinked at him in confusion.
"Um, yea. I have a voice box and I can use it to sing." I said, not understanding what the big deal was about. Sesshomaru's smile widened as I picked up Naraku's sandwich and walked around the counter to step into the living room and give it to him.
"No Kagome, he means you can sing well. Like professional multi-platinum sold albums, sing." He clarified. I stopped right in front of Naraku and turned my head to Sesshomaru.
"Oh. I guess. I never really thought I could sing very well." I shrugged and then smiled down at a scowling Naraku. I held out the sandwich.
"Here ya go." I said happily. He turned his face away with a snort, completely ignoring me, quickly getting over my singing abilities. I forced myself to keep smiling. "Naraku, here's your sandwich." He didn't acknowledge me. " Heeeeelllllllloooooo, tuuurrd for braaaaaiiiiinnnnssss, here's your saaaaannnnndddwwwwiiiich." I said slowly and loudly. He continued to ignore me, though I thought I saw him stiffen slightly at the derogative nickname. I growled, my eye beginning to twitch. "Oh, for the love of cheesecake! Will you just take the damn sandwich, please?!" I asked in exasperation. Naraku snorted and held out a hand without looking at me. I put the sandwich in it and stepped away, happily walking into the kitchen, after successfully concluding my mission. I then began on Sesshomaru's sandwich as he told me what he liked and didn't like.
After it was done he thanked me and joined Naraku on the couch to eat it. Naraku had turned the T.V on and was watching Sumo wrestling. It was the Fukuoka tournament. His sandwich was gone. I smiled and then looked to the T.V and grinned. My favorite Sumo wrestler was fighting. I made my sandwich while stopping every few seconds to watch the match, and cheered when he won. Naraku and Sesshomaru looked at me in shock.
"You follow Sumo?" Inuyasha asked. I turned around to see him leaning up against the counter occasionally stirring the pot of Ramen and nodded.
"Yep, I love Sumo. Hakuhō Shō is my favorite. I mean he's only 22 and already yokozuna! That's really amazing!" I said enthusiastically. I did love my Sumo. I could tell the guys were shocked. They stared at me for a few more seconds and then looked back at the T.V. I finished my sandwich around the same time as Inuyasha began putting his Ramen in a bowl and we both sat on the couch, me beside Naraku and Inuyasha beside Sesshomaru. I could feel Naraku stiffen next to me but thankfully he didn't say or do anything.
We sat there and watched Sumo and then whatever else came on. I felt myself getting sleepy and my eyes closing was the last thing I remember.
The next morning I woke up cuddled next to something really warm. I burrowed my head even closer to the warmth when I heard a moan that wasn't mine and I heard breathing that wasn't mine. My eyes popped open and I came face to chest with someone. A male someone. I gasped and scooted backwards as quickly as I could and I went a little too far over and fell off, screaming, my head banging against the floor, my back up against the side of the bed and my legs over my head, my toes touching the floor. I heard the sound of rustling sheets and the creaking of the mattress and suddenly I saw a head come over the side of the bed, through the gap my legs made. It was Naraku, who was smirking down at me, his hair falling over his shoulder in a long braid.
I heard running footsteps and a door burst open on my right about ten feet away. I saw Sesshomaru and Inuyasha standing there in long baggy pajama pants, Inuyasha's with dog paws on them, and Sesshomaru's a solid blue. I blinked at them, still trying to figure out what had happened. The brothers looked at me in shock and then burst out laughing. I scowled at them.
"It's not funny." I pouted. Naraku chuckled.
"From here it is. I must say you're very flexible." He said in an amused tone. I spread my legs wider so I could get an unobstructed view of his face.
"Yea, and you'll never get the benefit of my flexibility." I grinned as he began to scowl. "What with you liking it in the ass and all." I said and started laughing at his murderous expression. "I'm kidding, but you really won't get the benefit of my flexibility." I said going from smiling to serious. Naraku suddenly grinned, shocking me and sending a tingly feeling to the pit of my stomach, even though it was upside down which made me wonder why the feeling didn't go to my head instead. Oh well, something to think about another day.
"Well that's fine with me but really it's your loss. I've been given a 10 in the bedroom repeatedly." He grinned. I snorted, unable to think of a comeback. Inuyasha shook his head, coming further into the room.
"What happened, Kagome?" He asked. I sighed.
"I freaked out when I realized I was using Naraku as a teddy bear and hightailed myself across the bed a little too fast, and went right over the side." I said and looked up at Naraku. "I never thought you would have pierced nipples." I added and Inuyasha laughed.
"He's a rebel. Well, you just get yourself right side up Kagome, and meet us out in the living room and I'll make breakfast." Sesshomaru said from the door. I nodded and sent a smile his way. Inuyasha chuckled as he waved goodbye and left the room after his brother. I looked up at Naraku, who was still watching me. I gave him a shy smile.
"Do you think you could help me please?" I asked him. He closed his eyes, sighing.
"Fine." He nodded and scooted closer to the edge, kneeling on it. "Legs straight up, ok now wrap them around my waist. Arms around my neck. Ok, up you go." He instructed and then seemed to easily lifted me up from the floor, his arms around my torso, and my arms wrapping around his neck as he lifted me halfway up. Suddenly I was sitting in his lap. I felt a blush take over my face and quickly unwrapped my limbs from him and got off the bed the proper way.
"Thank you." I said, as he snorted and I quickly left the room. I was huddled up on a chair at the dining table, picking at my eggs when a thought popped up in my head. I dropped my fork, hearing it clatter loudly on the plate and looked at Inuyasha on my right, Sesshomaru on my left, and Naraku across from me. They were watching me with either food in their mouths or on forks on the way to their mouths.
"How'd I get in Naraku's bed and to top that off, how'd I get into my pajamas?" I asked. Inuyasha laughed.
"Sesshomaru carried you into Naraku's room after Naraku complained about you falling asleep on him and drooling, and then Sesshomaru changed you into your pajamas and tucked you in." Inuyasha said and let his food continue its journey into his mouth. I zeroed in on Sesshomaru. He smiled at me.
"You didn't see anything did you?" I asked him in a voice that said one wrong word and he was dead. He laughed.
"Nothing but underwear." He replied and took a sip of his orange juice. I nodded.
"Good. For a second I thought I was going to have to kill you." I said, sipping my own orange juice. Naraku snorted. I sighed.
"Now you sound like a pig rather than a lawn mower. Why are you snorting?" I asked. He flipped me off and I stuck my tongue out at him.
"As if you could kill a full demon." He said. I laughed.
"Oh you'd be surprised what I can do when I put my mind to it." I said. Naraku just grumbled something and stood up, taking his dishes into the kitchen and washing them off.
"I'm going to take a shower." He said. I grinned evilly and quickly finished my juice and ran in there too. He had set his plate down on the counter and I quickly dumped my eggs on his plate and set mine down in the sink.
"Sorry Naraku, but your plate's still dirty. Ok I'm going to take a shower now. Bye." I said and ran for the bathroom.
"You little bitch!" Naraku yelled after me. "I'm gonna get you back for this!" he said. Inuyasha laughed.
"Next time she bends herself around like a pretzel you can just leave her there to untangle herself." He said and I smiled to myself as I skidded along the wooden floor and got myself into the bathroom. I quickly undressed and climbed into the shower, easily able to figure out how the three nozzles worked, and happy to see a towel hanging over the shower rod for use. I was halfway done with my shower when I heard the door click open and someone come in. I couldn't really make out who it was but they seemed to have black hair and I realized Naraku was the only one that I knew for sure would somehow come into the room when the door had been locked and I was taking a shower. I was about to yell at him when I heard the sound of a zipper being undone and froze as he relieved himself and then I heard the zipper again and the sound of whistling. I gasped.
"Don't you dare!" I yelled. The whistling got even higher and before I could say another word he flushed the toilet. I screamed at the cold water, unable to move as I heard him turn on the faucet to wash his hands and the water got even colder. I screamed again and struggled to get out of the shower, tangling myself up in the shower curtain. I screeched in anger, finally getting untangled and seeing Naraku with an evil grin on his face. I narrowed my eyes and lunged at him. He easily sidestepped me and ran out of the room. "I'm gonna get you, assjack!" I screamed, giving my war cry and grabbed one of the towels. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were sitting on the couch, and turned their heads to watch us run around the living room.
"Don't you mean jackass?" Inuyasha asked me.
"No." I said and stopped suddenly as I almost tripped and fell from running while wet. When I got myself balanced I caught a glimse of Naraku running into the bathroom before the door slammed shut.
"Urrrrgggghhh!" I stomped my foot and stared at the two men on the couch. "He is such an asshole!" I said. Inuyasha smiled.
"You started it Kagome. You've only known him for a day so I'll inform you that anything you do to him, he'll get you back for until you're even, and every time you retaliate, he will too." I sighed.
"But why does he hate me? I don't get it. I haven't done anything to him… ok fine, I haven't done much." I said at Inuyasha's skeptic look. I was about to sit down when I realized something very important.
"Hey! My clothes are still in there!" I yelled and ran to the bathroom door and banged on it. "Naraku let me in! I need to get my clothes!" I screamed and continued banging on the door, knowing eventually he would open it. What I wasn't expecting was his appearance when he did. He was dripping wet, his hair stuck to his back, and a towel wrapped around his waist that looked like it was about to slip off at any second. He threw my clothes at my head and slammed the door in my face. "Thanks." I said sarcastically and stomped off to his room. I heard Sesshomaru and Inuyasha laughing in the living room, and blushed, realizing that I had just run around wet and practically naked in front of three complete strangers. Well almost anyway.
I sighed and slowly dried off, thinking about my aunt's expression if she knew what had happened since last night. And then I gasped.
"Oh shit!" I screamed. I heard the sound of running feet and a door open and slam and more running feet. Naraku's bedroom door burst open and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru ran in, Naraku right after them, again wrapped in a towel.
"What? What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked. I spun around to stare at them.
"I never called Aunt Sango to tell her I was staying here!" I cried. They all sighed and Naraku slowly walked back toward the bathroom. I heard the door slam. Inuyasha laughed.
"Oh Kagome. Do you think we're really that irresponsible? We told her you were staying over." He said and shook his head. I felt myself blush.
"Oh." I said softly. I heard Sesshomaru clear his throat and looked up at him to see him blushing and looking me over. That was when I realized my towel was on my head and not my body. In true embarrassed fashion I screamed again and tried to cover myself as best I could.
"Get out! Get out now!" I yelled and pushed the two out of the doorway and closed it behind them. I sighed. "I'm so retarded." I said and quickly pulled on my underwear and bra. The door opened again and this time I covered myself with the towel, of course by now I didn't really need it. Naraku came in wearing his boxers, which strangely enough had a pattern of red lipsticked lips on them. I watched him walk toward his dresser, drying off his hair with the towel, completely ignoring me and pull out black jeans and a blood red wife-beater. I slowly lowered my towel and put on my mini-skirt and tank top while throwing glances his way every few seconds to make sure he didn't look.
"You can stop watching me like I'm suddenly going to attack you. I couldn't care less what your body looks like." He said after he'd slipped on his jeans and was pulling his shirt on. I took a page from his book and snorted.
"You know, you're right." I said and turned toward him. He stopped moving and quickly got his shirt on, looking at me in shock.
"I am?" He asked. I nodded, and then grinned. I watched his eyes narrow.
"I mean why would you care what a girl's body looks like when you're so into guys?" I asked and heard a low growl coming from him. I laughed and quickly ran to the door and out of the room with Naraku hot on my heels. I ran into the living room to see my Aunt sitting on the couch with a cup of tea in her hands talking to Sesshomaru while Inuyasha played with Souta.
"Auntie Sango?" I asked, stopping suddenly. Naraku smashed into me and we started to go down. That was of course until he used his reflexes to stop himself and grab me by the waist at the same time, while I screamed and held onto his arm for dear life, my eyes squeezed tightly closed. I heard Naraku's voice clear and slowly opened my eyes to see my Aunt, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Souta watching me. The first three were amused and the last one looked constipated. I cracked a smiled and gave an embarrassed laugh.
"Eh heh, my bad." I said and one by one took my fingers off Naraku's arm. He slowly pulled his arm away from me and walked toward the couch and gave Auntie Sango a hug and then sit down next to her.
"So Kagome, how are you fairing here?" My aunt asked me. She had a look on her face that made me suspiscious. I faked a happy grin.
"Really well! I'm getting along with everyone, especially Naraku." I said. I could be an actress with how well I faked enthusiasm. My aunt looked me over carefully, her eyes narrowed and then she looked to Naraku, who had a shocked and disgusted look on his face as he stared at me. She grinned.
"Well then that just makes my punishment easier for you then. As your punishment for failing to inform me of the permanent marking on your back, you are to be Naraku's… assistant." She said. I gasped, feeling my jaw drop open in shock. I glanced at Naraku and he was just as shocked as me, but quickly got over it and began to look smug. I heard Inuyasha gasp as well and found him to be looking at me with sympathy in his eyes. I looked at Sesshomaru and he had an amused grin on his face.
Auntie Sango smirked. "Is that a problem Kagome?" She asked me softly. I sighed, closing my eyes, knowing that if I said there was, I would be in even bigger trouble when I had to explain that I had lied, which is what made me realize that she had set me up and was expecting me to fall into her trap. I clenched my jaw and looked at her confidently.
"No it's not Auntie Sango." I said and then turned to Naraku.
"It will be my honor to be your assistant, Naraku-sama." I said and bowed respectfully to him. I looked up to see him staring at me wide-eyed at my added 'sama'. I heard my aunt snort and smiled triumphantly at her unsatisfied look.
"Well I'm sure as his assistant you will be needed at all different times during the day, so you will be staying by his side for however long is needed, but are welcome to come home when permitted." Sango said and looked to Naraku for confirmation. He nodded, a strange glint in his eye. I bit my cheek. I knew that whatever was going to happen, I was screwed big time.
Please review so I don't cry! You can just give me one one word! Like good, bad, sucks, die... you know, whatever you want!
