So yea a short chapter but I couldn't figure out where to cut this chapter off due to the upcoming lemon so I just cut it short. Yes the lemon will be between Naraku and Kagome as will the next one but that's because I have to establish a link between them for the fic. And no worries Sess will get his hands on her in due time just have a little patience. So hope you enjoy; much love for you all. Keva

Kagome slowly sank herself into the hot water of the spring. The last two days had been mentally draining. Naraku was insistent that she spends at least three hours a day working with Kagura, learning who she was and what her responsibilities were as Naraku's mate. Then she spent two more hours with the wind witch learning who her enemies were and what kind of things they would say to her if and when she ever came face to face with them.

Once that was done she had to spend several hours a day with Naraku so that she could reacquaint herself with her husband. She found that Naraku was a silent brooder and didn't like to discuss what was going through his head. He was never hostile towards her just curt with her when she didn't understand what he was talking about.

She had tried to rack her brain to understand how she came to be the wife of a man who rarely spoke to her and always seemed to be plotting against Inuyasha and his group of friends. Yet, every time she tried to sort who he was and why she was with him she came up with absolutely nothing. Hell she didn't even know who she was so how was she supposed to figure someone else out?

She leaned her head back against the wall closing her eyes in bliss as the hot water relaxed her body. Letting off a deep sigh, she let herself relax into a light nap, and hoped that maybe just maybe that when she awoke she would know who she was. Yet she knew that she would still be just as blank once she woke up.

Naraku stood at the door looking at the miko relaxing in his hot spring. A wicked smile graced his lips as he imagined what it was going to be like to confront Inuyasha and his friends with their little miko at his side. Granted he had to suffer through her company by spending hours with her teaching her what was expected of her as his mate but the end result would be well worth the effort.

Looking over at the girl he watched as her pale skin turned red from the heat of the water. Her hair was piled on top of her head with her eyes closed and her pink lips slightly parted. Her face neck and shoulders were covered in a sheen of sweat from the heat making what parts of her body he could see glow. As he continued to watch her a realization hit him. She was his to do with as he pleased and seeing her sitting in the hot spring was giving him ideas of what he could do with her.

He slowly made his way over to the spring while removing his clothing. He didn't want to disturb her or scare her too much so he made his way into the water only creating enough movement in the water to slowly bring her back to reality. He stood in front of her and watched her intently… waiting.

Kagome felt eyes upon her and snapped hers open staring into the crimson of her mate's. She sunk lower into the water bringing her arms up in order to cover herself. The flush from the embarrassment of him staring at her made her already heated skin even more crimson. She looked down at the water and let off a nervous breath. "Master Naraku." She said in a shaky whisper.

Naraku stared down at the girl her innocence was disgusting yet alluring. Granted she wasn't exactly a beauty but what she lacked in womanhood she easily made up for in purity. Then there was the way she would stare at him when she thought he didn't notice. Her blue eyes would bore into him trying to dissect him and figure out who he really was. He couldn't help but let his ego overwhelm him at being the center of her attention.

He gave her a nod in response and reached a hand out, placing a finger under her chin, forcing her to look up at him. "Why do you fear me? Have I done something to make you uneasy?" He gently caressed her chin with his thumb. "You are my wife after all and you shouldn't be embarrassed from me looking at you or being with you like this."

Kagome placed her hand on his and pulled it from her chin. "No, it's just that this is all new to me and I don't remember if I've ever…"

"Been with a man?" He finished for her and watched as she nodded at him. "Do not fear for I will do nothing to harm you." 'Yet' He thought to himself.

He removed his hand from hers and stepped closer to her so that their bodies were only inches apart. He reached up, removed the sticks holding her hair up, and watched as it spilled around her, with the ends floating on the water. He leaned down, pressed his lips against her cheek, and dragged them up to her ear. "Do not fear me. I will cause you no pain." He whispered.

Kagome let off a shiver; she didn't know if it was from nervousness or excitement, but she knew one thing for sure. She liked the tingly sensations that were traveling up and down her spine. She tentatively placed her free hand on his chest feeling the heat emanating from him like a great inferno ready to burn her to ash. He was so hot causing her to burn burn hotter than the water she was standing in.

He placed one hand on the back of her head and the other on her lower back and lifted her up, pressing her naked body against his own. He then moved his lips from her ear down to her neck where he began to nip and suck on her pulse point and smiled when she sucked in a breath against the sensation. He grazed his teeth up her neck, across her jaw line, then placed his lips against hers, where he began sucking lightly on her bottom lip.

Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and could feel her knees giving out. She was glad that Naraku had a hold of her or she surely would have fallen back into the water. He was kissing her and it felt like nothing she could have ever imagined.

Was this her first kiss? She wondered as she traced his bottom lip with her tongue. She doubted it since she was his wife and mate surely they had done this before; hadn't they?

Naraku pulled her closer to him, feeling her hardened nipples pressing against his chest. He gently trailed the hand that was on her lower back down over her perfect ass then to the back of her thigh where he began to massage working his way slowly inward.

Kagome gasped when she felt his fingers grace the tender flesh between her legs. Her body shivered against the sensation of being touched there and wanted to feel more. She pressed her lower body closer to his fingers wanting his fingers to touch more of her warm, wet, swollen, flesh.

Naraku grinned against her lips as her moans entered his ears. He then pulled away from her lips and began kissing his way down to her neck then to the valley between her breasts. He brought his hand down from the back of her head, lightly dragging his fingers across her collarbone, inching his way to her left breast. His lips moved across her flesh making their way to her right breast using his tongue to dance around her hardened nipple.

Kagome arched her back against his lips wanting... no needing more of the pleasure he was giving her. She curled her hands into his raven hair and tilted her head back letting a deep breathless moan escape her lips. "Kami Naraku" She whispered out between breaths.

As soon as he heard his name on her lips he wrapped his lips around her hardened nipple and began to suck and tease it with his tongue. Keeping his mouth latched onto her breast he picked her up and reveled in the feeling of her wrapping her long legs around his waist while his fingers continued teasing her lower flesh. He slowly made his way out of the spring heading to his chambers where he could continue to indulge in the pleasures that the little miko could give him. The pleasure of being the one to taint that disgusting innocence that Kikyo never had even when she was alive.

Sesshoumaru worked his way through the dense forest. Rumor had it that Naraku's castle was hidden at the base of the mountain just beyond the forest. He was disgusted that it was he that to go and rescue the ningen miko that belonged to his idiot brother. It just went to show how truly weak the half-breed was letting the wench get captured by their enemy. Not only did he lose his wench to the vile kumo but he managed to lose the shikon miko to him. He had to wonder again if his father wasn't placed under a spell in which he was forced to take a ningen as a mate, therefore producing his whelp of a half-brother.

Speaking of useless half-breeds, one was currently following him along with his ningen companions. Did the mutt's desire for humans know no bounds? Born of one, pinned to a tree by one, in love with one who shares a soul with another, then the other two. A demon slayer, which is suppose to kill those of his kind and a hentai monk, who can't keep his hands to himself. At least the half-breed did have two demons with him, the fox and the neko. However; the fox was still a kit and the neko was just an animal with a thought process higher than most its kind. Yes his brother's band of travelers were merely a waste of flesh.

He halted his progress and waited for the mongrel to catch up with him. He didn't want to be seen being followed by the likes of them and intended to inform them of such.

Inuyasha came charging into the extremely small clearing in a flurry of red and white with his companions not far behind him.

"Half-breed you will cease following this Sesshoumaru." He ordered without turning towards the hanyou.

"Fuck off Sesshoumaru! I ain't following you!" Inuyasha bit out.

"Then explain how it is you have been following me for two nights now." He slowly turned towards Inuyasha with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"I don't have to explain nuthin to a bastard like you!" Inuyasha yelled as he unsheathed tessaiga ready to fight his brother and be rid of at least one aggravation in his life.

"Inuyasha!" Sango hissed. "I am sorry Sesshoumaru-sama but we just want our friend back and we know that you have heard of Naraku's whereabouts. If following you is the only way to find her then we will do what we must."

Sesshoumaru cut his eyes over to the demon slayer. So, they seemed to think that once they found Naraku they would get their friend back. Yes they were definitely the useless morons he always knew them to be. "Very well." He called forth his jaki, lifted off the ground. "You may follow." He then in a flash of white was long gone; leaving the little Inu-tachi to stare off at him with no way to follow or even where he was going.
