Even though I thought this story was going to be just a one chapter deal, I got a review from xxxCutePyroHyperxxx who wanted me to write more, so here it is! I think I'll be writing more in general since my internet on my laptop finally works again!

Disclaimer: I only own Mrs. Naraku.

Wednesday is Naraku and Mrs. Naraku's weekly appointment for marriage counseling. The only time in their entire marriage where Naraku seems like the criminal and when the real harbinger of pain and destruction lies through her teeth is when they go to marriage counseling.

After they first got married, Naraku thought his little "honey bun" had a little bit of a mood swing problem and wanted to work through it as a couple through marriage counseling. Mrs. Naraku hated her significant other for making them involve "complete -BEEP-ing nutballs" in their private lives and so decided to play the victim in their "physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually abusive" relationship.

A typical visit:
"Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Naraku. Today is the anniversary of our fourteen years working together," the counselor said as the happy couple sat on the couch. "How have you been doing this past week?"

Immediately Mrs. Naraku started weeping. "He just doesn't get it! He doesn't understand how I feel when he shouts at me! I tell him how I feel and it's like he just doesn't listen. Then he starts throwing things and hitting me and I don't like him like that. He's scary and he's not the same man I married those fourteen years ago. I feel so alone!"

'Lying straight through her teeth. I wonder how long she thinks she can use that last line in these sessions.'

"Mr. Naraku, your wife is a very sensitive woman and she doesn't appreciate it when you yell at her," the counselor took Mrs. Naraku's hand. "This marriage is a two-person companionship between you and your wife for the rest of your lives. Now last week I thought you were doing a lot better. This is... This is really a big step back. I'm really disappointed in you, Mr. Naraku."

'That guy says that every other visit ever since we started. Get some new material.'

At a time like this, it would seem very obvious to admit what his wife has been doing to him, but at this point, no one would believe him and the first and last time that he tried that, his wife nearly sent him to the hospital. When he tried that, it was a only a short while after they started going to marriage counseling and Mrs. Naraku started becoming violent like the Incredible Hulk.

What happened after that first session and they returned home:
Mrs. Naraku put her purse on their kitchen table and cleared her throat. "I can't believe you told that stupid lie about me in -BEEP-ing marriage counseling," she said.

Naraku wasn't sure where this conversation was going. "What lie? You're very abusive towards me."

"I am NOT," she said before advancing on her prey.

"Don't worry! It's something we can solve in marriage counseling." Naraku was walking backwards towards the wall and Mrs. Naraku grabbed for the closest weapon at her disposal, a fork.

"It's not something to work on because it's NOT a PROBLEM!" she said before jabbing the fork in his hand and tying his long hair around his ankles she could kick him in the face repeatedly. A fishbowl, some wrenches, and a fan were thrown into the mix at some point and impaired Naraku for two weeks from going to work and marriage counseling. His excuse was "a romantic getaway". Naraku was borderline dead and pleaded to go to the hospital, which the Mrs. had given a little thought to just so she could "getaway" from him, but then the medical bills screamed at her and she let him suffer at home.

For about fourteen years now, Naraku just BS-ed his way through the sessions. His wife would never let him live without being treated like crap by someone who doesn't even know the truth. The more he was hated, the more she felt like her reason for being alive was fulfilled.

And after every session, Naraku would call up someone he knew and go drinking. His reasoning to do so was that since he's going to get beat up horribly after every session, might as well numb the pain a little.

So after one session, Naraku called up Kagura and InuYasha and invited them to some drinks.

A typical time at a bar with the three of them:

"Every week, she lies, cries, and I dies *hiccup* a little inside," he said as he downed the last of his beer. His sister put a hand on his back.

"Oh god he's drunk already," she said.

InuYasha shrugged as he sipped his beer. "If he didn't marry her in the first place then he wouldn't be beaten up every single day and night."

Kagura shot him a look and said, "Obviously she wasn't abusive before they got married. Even Naraku knows what kinds of relationships to avoid."

"Speaking of relationships, how's your marriage?" he asked. "Planning on talking to each other yet?"

PANG!

A surge of terrible emotional pain hit Kagura in the heart.

Kagura was married to Sesshoumaru, and their marriage- no, their relationship as people in general- lacked in so many ways. It was chillier than ice. They barely had any time with their only child, Rin, who was a real daddy's girl, and the person they all talked to the most was Jaken, their housemaid. Most of their passive aggression was redirected towards the housemaid.

So after they've had enough to drink, Naraku and Kagura were drunken sobbing over their emotionally draining marriages, while InuYasha felt very fortunate that he married Kagome.

Then after happy hour's over and Naraku's safely escorted home, he's always met by various things thrown at his head and provocative language screamed in his face. Of course every time, he's still extremely hammered when he gets home, so he feels and hears nothing. Naraku also remembers nothing that happens to him after happy hour, but he always wakes up to finding amazingly gigantic bruises and cuts all over him when he wakes up sore.

Every Wednesday was not only Mr. and Mrs. Naraku's day for marriage counseling, but it was also the time when Naraku, his sister, and even InuYasha to come together and spend some time talking about their marriages. One marriage is an underwater-007-mission-impossible train wreck that is beyond salvaging. Another marriage is working, but just barely awkward between the married couple. And the last one is completely happy and wonderful.


I hope you enjoyed!
