I do not own Inuyasha nor do I make a profit off of these stories. I get inspiration from other stories but all of my stories are original for the most part

I grimaced as Naraku's head rebounded off the door & he stood there blinking & shaking his head. It was so hard not to laugh. As he turned to look at me I offered a nervous smile, asking if he was ok. He cleared his throat & lowered his head, nodding & left quickly.
'Wow...'
I chuckled & strolled out of the store myself, watching my ring glinting in the sun. Damn it was gorgeous but I had to wonder why he got it for me. I guess he must have really wanted me to go out with him. I shrugged. Whatever. Hopefully this wouldn't become a habit; he seemed like a really nice guy, I wanted to get to know him not how much money he had.
After a day like this it was hard to think of going anywhere else...except to my little brother's house to show off my ring.

"Yo, what's up, Maru?"
I rolled my eyes at the ridiculous name but greeted Inuyasha with some dap & a man-hug [AN: Is there any other way to describe it, really o.O?]. I flashed my ring finger in front of him briefly, pretending to mess with my lip ring but Inuyasha, being as oblivious as he was, didn't notice & invited me in.
I waved briefly at Kagome, his wife, & sat on their couch.
"What brings you by, Sesshomaru? Can I get you some tea?" Kagome asked, starting to rise from her place on the love seat. I held up a hand.
"No, I'll get it, thanks. I just wanted to swing by since I haven't in a while"
"Good thing you did. Akako's been asking about you" Inuyasha murmured, sitting by his wife, "I wonder where that tike is-"
"UUUUUUUNCLE !"
I grinned as my nephew came flying from his room, tackling me with the force of a big dog, his arms around my neck.
"There's my big boy! You've gotten stronger, what have you been eating?"
Akako raised his head & gave a huge smile, practically vibrating in excitment. "Mommy said if I eat spinach I'll become as strong as Pie-Pie!"
We all laughed.
"I think you mean Pop-Eye, sweetheart" Kagome said, smiling in adoration.
"Welcome to the gun show, Uncle Maru!" Akako growled playfully, flexing his biceps. I laughed & poked them.
"What, they let these little noise makers in the gun shows now?" I asked playfully, "Guess they think these oozies are too dangerous"
I flexed my biceps & recieved a "Whoa" from Akako, an "Ooh" from Kagome & a "Show off..." from Inuyasha.
Akako's eyes widened even more & his mouth shaped into an O. "Uncle Maru, that's a big ol' ring!"
I smiled & lowered my hand to admire the ring again, thinking of that Naraku guy.
'Damn he was fine...'
"Ehhh, nice ring, Maru, did your sugar daddy give it to you?' Inuyasha half joked, leaning over his son's head to catch a glance.
"Actually yes, though I just met him today" I murmured.
"You just met him today & he got you that? Damn either he'd just gotten paid or he really wanted to get in your pant-"
Kagome tossed a pillow at the back of my brother's head, frowning. "Don't talk like that in front of Red"
"Aw, Mama, come on. I'm a man, I can handle it" Akako whined.
Inuyasha chuckled & ran his finger's through the child's silver bangs. "Yeah, yeah. Mind your mom though"
"Yes sir. Hey Maru what's in your pants anyway?"
Kagome choked on her tea, Inuyasha slapped a hand over his mouth to stop the laugh that began to bubble up & I froze, unsure of what to say.
"Uh...well, I have, umm...things that kids would find very boring"
'What a lame answer...'
"Really? Like what?"
"Er...like...vegetables...&...& umm...a list of chores to do"
Akako made a face. "What the hell, Uncle Maru? Why do you have those in your pants-"
Inuyasha tugged firmly on the toddler's puppy ears on the top of his head. "Hey, hey, what have I told you about repeating the things I say?"
"You said not to say them" Akako answered dejectedly, lowering his head.
"Maybe you should be careful about what you say around him then, moron" I said, picking Akako up & setting him in my lap. He immediately laid his head on my shoulder.
"Thank you! I've been telling Yasha that since Akako could speak!" Kagome stated & Inuyasha flashed her an innocent grin.
"I'm just building his vocabulary, babe"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, but when he starts behaving like you I'll let you deal with it"

As I was leaving Akako begged me to come back tomorrow so I promised him I would. He was an addictive kid, I couldn't get enough of him. Just then I remember how disappointed my mom was when I came out to her a few years ago. She wanted grand children from my seed, not someone else's. But I joked that I'd get some broad pregnant just for her & I thought it was funny until she seemed to be dead serious about it so I never brought it up again.
I swung by a burger joint & got me a few items then headed home. It felt like it'd been a long day but with no classes I really hadn't done much. Still had to find mom something for her birthday though. Maybe I'll go back to the jewelry store & get her something. Hell I might even see...
I looked down at my forearm & was absolutely relieved to see that though his number had faded I could still see it. I dropped everything & snatched up the phone, only to pause & hold it to my chest. What would I say to him? "Hey, I just called to let you know I can still read your number on my arm. Ok, have a nice night, bye"?
'Well every guy could talk about sex, right? Right! We could just talk about sex & he'd think I'm a whore!'
I sat down & sighed. Maybe I'll just try & let it flow, eh? I'm pretty fucking sure I'm not the only person who is nervous about this kind of thing. I dialed the number slowly & waited as with each ring my heart beat faster & faster. Then...
"Hello?"
"Hi...Naraku. It's umm...it's me..."
"Me? Who's me?"
"Oh, uh...Ses-Sesshomaru" Smooth. Real smooth...
"Ah, the epitome of gorgeousness in the jewelry store"
I blushed furiously & laughed weakly. "Uh...yeah, I guess..."
"So how are you tonight? What are you up to?"
"Nothing, for once. No classes today so there's no homework to be done. How about yourself?"
"Oh...not much...just laying in this...large bed for two...sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no make up on..."
I burst out laughing. "I never took you to be the kind of guy to wear make up"
"Well from time to time a guy has to get in touch with his feminine side, whether to walk in a woman's shoes or to satisfy his curiosity"
"So...you wear make up?"
"Hell naw, what the hell do I look like?" he asked, laughing. I laughed too. His speech is different than when we were in the store. This tone makes me more comfortable, like he isn't looking down on me.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked suddenly, in a husky voice. I gulped.
"Uh...well actually I was thinking about how your speech is more relaxed now than it was earlier &...I like that"
"Oh? Well that's good to hear. To be honest I only talk that way to impress people"
"Ah, so I'm not the only one you've sweet talked, eh?" I asked, eyebrow raising.
He cleared his throat nervously. "Uh...well I mean when trying to get a job interview & all..."
I smiled. "I understand. So...Mr. Naraku-"
"Call me Daddy"
I laughed. "& why should I call you something you're not?"
"No idea, really. I've just always wanted to be called that & I think I'll love the way it rolls off your tongue"
"I'm sure you'd like a lot of things about my tongue" I said in a unexpected seductive voice. It made my eyes go wide. Did I really just try to seduce him?
He let out a jusky bark of a laugh. "I'm sure I would. I'd love to take you up on that one da-"
Suddenly somewhere in the background of Naraku's side of the line came a crash & the first thing I thought was, 'Oh shit someone just broke into his house'.
"Uhh...hold on a minute" he said quickly & I heard bare feet pattering some ways away. Then...
"What the hell are you doing?" I heard him yell.
"You never called me back! What the hell is your problem?" I heard a female scream.
"What the fuck! You broke my mom's vase!"
"Fuck yo' mama's vase! Why you ain't call me?"
"Why the hell are you breaking into my house over a damn phone call?"
"Cause I'm pregnant! & I only had sex with you!"
My heart stopped, dropped & rolled...all the way to the pits of my belly. He had sex with a chick? How long ago? Was he still with her or not? Something about this situation was giving me a bad feeling. I heard another crash & Naraku swearing.
"I never had sex with you! I only made out with you on prom night & last time I checked you don't get pregnant from kissing!" he shouted.
"I got a video of us fucking right here on this tape! I figured you wouldn't take responsibility..." the woman's voice trailed off as she walked farther away & Naraku followed her, asking her why the hell would she tape herself & someone fucking since he was pretty fucking sure he never had sex with her.
I sat there, staring at the wall, eyes glazed over. I honestly didn't know what to do or who to believe. If that is his baby, then of course I'd let him go quickly. I can already tell there will be baby mama drama. But what if it wasn't? Was that woman lying or was she mistaken? Why would she lie, if that was the case? Too many questions to answer so I hung up.

Not a day went by that I didn't regret hanging up on Naraku. I should have found out if that woman was telling the truth. But instead I let my head guide me. I rolled out of bed & went to go brush my teeth. I had a final to ace today; I couldn't be sitting around here like a heartbroken fool...even though my feelings were...a little hurt.
I shrugged it off & got ready then went to class. I sat near the back, away from the crowd. I wasn't anti-social but I didn't like being around a lot of people. The professor walked in, set a couple of rules & passed out the test booklet. Once he prompted us to open it I snatched up my pencil & went to work.
'Oh damn...I forgot the forumula...'
'Shit what the hell am I supposed to do with this variable...?'
'Why is the X here...?'
'Ya know it would be SO much easier if this was here-'
I squeezed my eyes shut tightly. It was hard to concentrate when there's a certain someone on your mind. I made a promise to myself to call him when I get out of class so we can clear some things up & maybe I'd feel better-
"Sir, they are testing, you're not allowed to come in-"
I looked up & noticed my professor was standing at the door, trying to push whoever he was talking away.
"I'll just need a second. It's really important" I heard a familiar voice say.
"It'll have to wait until they're done testing, sir"
"It's too urgent to wait!"
My professor sighed & stepped back fully into the classroom & a head peeked in...the head of that gorgeous man, Naraku & my heart rate immediately picked up.
"Sesshomaru" the professor said in a tired voice, "This man would like to speak to you outside. Make it quick"
I stood slowly & practically glided down the steps to the door & out into the hallway where Naraku waited. I closed the door & crossed my arms, hoping I looked disappointed in him.
"So..." I started.
"I want to apologize for the other night while we were on the phone" he started in a low voice, "I'm going to come clean so there will be no surprises..."
My heart dropped. 'Oh shit that really was his baby! Oh my God what am I gunna do-'
"I was in a relationship with the woman that you heard but I broke up with her two months ago. It just...it wouldn't have worked out between us. We never had sex so I knew she was lying"
"What about that tape she claimed she had?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
Naraku grinned but not out of humor. He actually looked irritated. "Turns out the guy in the video wasn't me. At the time the video was filmed she had gotten drunk at a party that we both went to & she ended up going back home with another guy with long, black hair. So...yeah" he finished.
I felt bad. All this time I was kind of pissed at him & it wasn't even his fault. "I-I'm sorry..."
"No need to be. I would have been just as suspicious as you, if not more" he said, smirking in humor this time. God I loved his smile.
He walked forward & wrapped his arms around me, breathing in my scent at my neck.
"God, you smell good" he whispered.
I blushed faintly then realized something. "Wait, how the hell did you know I went to school, much less where I went?"
Naraku straightened & gave me a sly smile. "I have connections"
The door to the classroom opened & my professor stepped out, looking stern. "Alright, alright. No PDA in the halls & anyway he has a test to finish"
"Yeah, yeah" Naraku gumbled & kissed the pulse at my neck, causing me to blush harder. I smirked & nodded to my professor so he would go back in the classroom then looked Naraku in the eye.
"I'll see you soon?"
The dark haired man nodded twice, eyes glowing. "Definitely"
I smiled a little wider then walked back in class. Right as I was begining to ascend the stairs back to my seat I heard my name being called & turned around only to have my lips captured in a kiss & my body tipped at a 45 degree angle, Casanova style.
Naraku didn't let the kiss last long, only enough to bring the messege across then he straightened me back up, winked & walked out the class. I stood there until the whoops & cat calls brought me back to reality & I walked to my seat, face beet-red.
