Chapter 2

Naraku lounged in the grass, his feet submerged in a clear, cool spring. His kimono hung languidly from his shoulders, exposing ivory skin. A soft breeze toyed with his hair and he thanked the gods (who he felt superior to) for this solitary haven. He felt lightheaded and buzzy, butterflies tickling his stomach, and all around extra-sensitized. The sakura blossoms swirled in his vision as they fell, heavy with scent and seed, in a hypnotizing dance. The way they twirled, in dizzying spirals and loops, streaks of rouge painted the air behind them. Every few minutes one would alight on his hair, caress his bare shoulders or kiss the pale flesh of his neck, sending shivers through his body. Really, the damned things were nearly molesting him! And another thing, his own thoughts kept drifting into this repulsive poetic rhetoric, as if he were turning into an idiot, with words like "beautiful" and "gentle" seeping into his internal monologue like that retched brown bean sauce into good steamed rice! The aroma of the petals was nearly overpowering, more than once sending him into a partial daze, but he was grateful for it for other reasons… His skin tingled and flushed and it was all he could do to not start panting. Soon it was apparent it was more than he could, and his lips parted as he lost a small battle, moving onto the war of keeping his legs from undignified-ly splaying. He briefly shut his eyes to regain a bit of composure.

Damn season.

Damn heat.

…damn.


A/N: Hi guys. Well, let me talk a bit about this story. 1: when I was talking about the flowers leaving "streaks" in the air, think like, the way car lights leave lines of semi-transparent streaks in photography. 2: I wrote this 2 years ago and am now kinda embarassed by it... I'm not really sure why, but there you have it. So I was wondering if anyone's interested in keeping it alive, cuz if you are it needs some CPR. If you want, give me a shout out and I'll attempt to continue, hopefully with less in-between time this go-'round. Ciao.
