Chapter 7
Innocence
Dappled sunlight fell across her face as she lay beneath the tree. She made a pretty sight from afar. Ebony bangs framed her sweet, gentle face while a white sundress complemented her slender figure.
However, upon closer inspection, her rigid frame was visibly held by strings of tension. Soft, pink lips pursed tightly together in concentration while chocolate brown darted about with unease. She reflexively flinched when her ears registered the click of a fan. Looking up towards the sound, she recognized the crimson-eyed woman dressed in an elegant kimono.
Speaking with a hint of annoyance, she snapped, "What does the sadistic bastard want now? Put me in another one of those scandalous dresses to freeze out here? Oh, how could I forget? I must have my escorts with me."
"Lord Naraku wishes to meet you for lunch." Kagura declared with pity laced in her voice.
"I'm honoured…" Kikyou replied sarcastically.
"I'm sorry." whispered Kagura as she took a glance at the sky. Freedom seemed so close, yet so far. She was a peace-loving demoness at heart, but times made it so for her to change. The human population increased drastically and rejected the demons who were small in numbers. Technology made their lives all the more miserable as their very existence were threatened. Scorned and despised, she was reduced to working under an atrocious halfling to survive.
The cold look in Kikyou's eyes softened as the demoness beside her wished her all the best.
"Please forgive me. It's hard to be in a good mood when you are forced to obey every whim and whine of a psychopathic halfling." Kikyou murmured bashfully.
"It's okay. I understand. I'm not much different from you after all." Kikyou smiled, the first time she did in weeks, finally finding a friend in the same boat as her.
The duo chattered merrily as they headed towards the gloomy mansion. Their conversation however, ended abruptly as Naraku made his unwanted appearance at the entrance to welcome the pair.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Hey Sesshoumaru, are you free this Saturday? Shippou's school is holding their annual sports day and Rin is eager to attend the event with you." Kagome chirped, before twisting her face into a look of disgust as she eyed her overly preened nails.
"It depends on my schedule. You may check with my secretary." Sesshoumaru's deep baritone sailed monotonously towards her anticipating ear.
Disappointed, she huffed, "Why don't you put a slot in your precious schedule for bonding time?"
"Unlike yours, my schedule is sacrosanct. Now if you will excuse me, I have matters to attend to." The snide reply easily sent the priestess into rage.
"Fine with me you faggot!" she shrieked while slamming a hand down on the table before gripping it in pain.
"Well, that just makes you a fag hag, doesn't it?" Sesshoumaru's amused voice dealt the last blow and the priestess could have wept with frustration.
Another slap to her dignity was delivered soon after when a beep from Sesshoumaru's phone signaled that he had ended the conversation. Apparently our favourite priestess has yet to defeat Sesshoumaru in a verbal spar.
"Seems that I missed out on quite a lot while I was away. Whose voice was that? The female one that was shouting incoherently in the background when I called you. Anyway, more importantly, I heard that you adopted a young girl. That's unlike you." Sarah inquired while calmly sipping her beverage.
"Jealous?" Rolling her eyes, Sarah gave Sesshoumaru a playful poke. Somehow, he felt odd and uncomfortable around her. He didn't feel free like he did around Kagome. Wait, why was he thinking of her in the first place? But that was not the point, his heart had yet to belong to anyone. Great, now he was talking to himself.
"So? Aren't you going to tell me?" Her question promptly sent him tumbling out of his thoughts.
"The girl that was rambling was Kagome, an acquaintance of mine. As for Rin, she seemed to have a pull on me when I first met her. Children do, after all, splash some colour to your life. You'll understand when you meet her." Sesshoumaru replied while footing the bill.
"Am I not already enough colour to your life?" Sarah chortled before sealing their lips in a kiss.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Leave." Naraku commanded as they entered the dinning area. Kagura obeyed, giving an over-dramatic bow which etched a smile on Kikyou's face before gliding out of the room.
Smoothing another invisible crease in her dress, Kikyou strode out of the room after Kagura.
"Where are you going?" Naraku hissed.
"To my room. I was told to leave." Kikyou retorted smartly.
"I was referring to Kagura, not you."
"Well, you did not specify." She replied smugly before continuing her trek towards her destination.
Before she could cross the threshold, a cold hand grabbed her from behind and slammed her against the wall.
"Don't be funny with me." The halfling sneered balefully. "Sit."
"How gentlemanly." Kikyou spat as she was released and seated forcefully into her chair.
"Eat your fill; we might be doing some strenuous activities later." Naraku declared with a sneer.
"Is it Tsubaki whom you are speaking to? I heard that her belly is swelling."
"You'll be joining her soon." He replied with a casual wave of the hand.
"My, my, aren't you kinky?" Kikyou snapped.
"I told you before to mind your words, priestess." The halfling snarled as the table's contents were roughly swept to the floor.
(WARNING: My innocent readers, this is a minor lime. I can't believe I'm writing this. MC YOU ARE HANDLING THE NEXT LIME/LEMON MC: NOOOOOOOOO And I'm not editing this. -.-" NC: YOU SO TOTALLY ARE!!!)
Kikyou paled. Her female intuition was flashing red lights at her.
"Look, Lord Naraku. I'm terribly sor-" Flinching as he lunged at her, she instinctively darted towards the left. Attempting to summon her priestess powers, she was rewarded with a stinging slap of pain in her hands as the collar around her leg left a burnt mark in its place. Great, she just stabbed herself…
Though she highly doubted that he would buy her words, it was worth a try.
"Lord Naraku, please compose yourself." She struggled to plead in between gasps as the halfling forced their lips in a rough and brutal kiss.
A split second later left Kikyou hissing in pain as her back was slammed against the table with a thud. Her pain was soon overwhelmed by fear when his coat was tossed carelessly to the floor.
"Lord Naraku, please!" She cried as Naraku soon stood before her in nothing but his boxers. Her pleas went unheard as the straps of her dress were roughly pulled to the side.
She couldn't have felt more violated as his hands roamed her body, effectively stripping her of what little dignity she had left. I'm going to be indisposed…
She gasped as his skilled hands evoked sensations that she never felt before. "St-t-op!" She shrieked as Naraku buried his face in between her legs while ripping her dress off.
"Some-body p-ple-a-se he-l-l-p m-e." Kikyou muttered helplessly, her hands reaching out towards the door…
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Outside the dining room, Kagura pulled her ear away from the door. Sighing in sympathy for the helpless miko, she strode away, glad that it wasn't her inside.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Kagome, what is the meaning of 'two-timing'?" Rin questioned innocently while making last touches to the sand castle she and Shippou had made.
The priestess froze an appalled look on her face, and jerked her head stiffly inch by inch towards Rin like a rusty machine. "What-did-you-say?" Kagome pronounced each syllable with much difficulty, apparently scandalized.
"She asked you what the meaning of 'two-timing' was." Shippou repeated matter-of-factly. Kagome paled again, unsure of how to come out with an explanation that would appease both the children. Sesshoumaru would go ballistic if he found out that his innocent five-year-old asked such a question.
"Kagome, are you okay? You look like a corpse." Rin stated, her eyes wide with concern.
"Erm, I'm fine, fine. Umm, you see, if a man has a girlfriend but is –err- unfaithful and loves another woman, you can –umm- say that he is two-timing." Kagome stuttered, deciding to avoid anything explicit.
"Oh." Rin replied, "I see." After which she seemed to freeze in her thoughts.
Kagome heaved a sigh of relief, wondering which son of a bitch had told this to the children. "Who told you of this word?" Definitely not Sesshoumaru… I hope.
"I heard some of the servants talking. They said that father is two-timing. Father will never do that, will he?" Rin questioned, her brown eyes brimming with tears.
"No Rin, I'm sure he isn't. They must be mistaken." Kagome assured the little girl, returning her to her formal cheery self. They must be thinking that I'm Sesshoumaru's girlfriend! Disgusting, my dignity is gone… But, who's the other girl?
She soon snapped out of her thoughts as Rin dished out yet another question.
"Then what's a boob?"

AN: NC wrote this chapter and MC edited it! Anyway, I bet you guys out there are pretty surprised that Sesshoumaru has a girlfriend and Kagura is innocent. The pairing is still SesshxKag though so please don't fret. Oh, the Sarah we are referring to is Sarah-hime, the one who died and plays the flute in the anime. She loves Sesshoumaru to bits in the show as well.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
NC: Gods, I need to BREATHE!
MC: Why? Aren't you breathing already? (Munches on more crackers)
NC: You'd better stop eating crackers or your intestine problem is going to be aggravated. Anyway, won't you feel embarrassed writing a lime! It's just that we are THIRTEEN for God's sake! You are totally writing the next make out scene between Sesshoumaru and Kagome.
MC: (Gulps nervously) Hehe, chill, come on, BREATHE!
NC: AHHH!!! I'm so frustrated! First I can't find new clothes and now I'm dealing with this!!
MC: Anyway don't you think there are too many rape scenes in this story? It's crappy…
NC: Yeah, I think so too. However, this should be the last one if that's what you're asking. Hell with it, I bet Sesshoumaru is feeling guilty about cheating on Sarah whenever incidents occur with him and Kagome. (Pauses) Or maybe not… (Catches Sesshoumaru smirking) WTF, THAT ARROGANT SON OF A BIT-
MC: (Drags a screaming NC away)
