"Alright here's the deal," Kage growled. "you're just going to go home, walk into your room, tell the boy how it's going to be, and end this shit once and for all. You're the man so fuckin be one!"
Naraku stared at his roommate rather surprised that he was here lecturing him. He had to give it to Jak and his powers of persuasion. Kage would never do this unless he was threatened into it or promised something in return; which he was sure was the case. "He made it quite clear that we were done."
"Is it done? Or are you just upset over being called a rapist which by the way I've heard Kikyo call you worse." He snorted.
"Yes it's done." He shook his head. "Now go home and I'll tell Jak that we talked when he asks so you don't have to worry about his wrath."
"I'm not scared of him." He glowered. "I'm just sick of hearing him whine about how upset his poor poor little Seesy is and how YOU are the only one who can make him better."
"Well if Sesshoumaru is that upset he knows where to find me."
Kage narrowed eyes to deadly little slits. "You really think he's going to come to your ex-girlfriend's house to find you especially after that whole scene at the party?"
He arched a dark brow at that. "Probably not but that's not the only place he can find me. I have met him half way and even all the way if he wants anything from me he can make the effort all on his own."
He hated having talks like this with people mainly because he didn't care. That wasn't to say he didn't care about his friends it was simply that he didn't care about the drama people mired themselves in for no reason. He just couldn't figure out why people didn't come right out and say what was on their mind and avoid all this beat around the bush shit. "Let's make this simple so we can end this b.s.; alright?"
Naraku shrugged at him. "Alright make it simple."
"You and that boy are into each other so there's no reason for all this drama. Just go home lay it on the line and end it." He narrowed his eyes on him. "Simple."
"Simple." Naraku snorted and waved his hand through the air.
"Yes; SIMPLE." He growled. "The only thing stopping you two from fixing this is YOU."
"So be it." Naraku shrugged. "I've done everything I could think of to get through to him and he shoots me down at every turn. So what else do you expect me to do?"
Kage gnashed his teeth together. "Take fucking charge and quit being such a pussy about it." He bit out then stormed out of the house.
"Jak must have him wrapped tightly around his little finger." He shook his head disbelievingly. "Unbelievable."

Sesshoumaru stared at Naraku's empty bed. It had been almost three weeks since their fight and nothing; he hadn't even seen him since. He found out that Naraku was having Kei get his stuff for him as he needed it or sneaking in during the night and that only served to piss him off all the more.
Was he really that much of a coward that he couldn't come home and face him? Then again what was that saying about himself that he wouldn't go face him? But why should he? He wasn't the one in the wrong here; Naraku brought this upon himself and now he had to pay the price for his stupidity.
Yet as irritated with his roommate as he was he was missing him. Those moments when he would make him feel like he's never felt before… never knew he could feel before. He hated to admit it but part of him wanted those moments back and the other part of him… well… he didn't know what he wanted.
He sat down on Naraku's bed and fingered the blanket. This was why he hated relationships so much all the confusion and uncertainty. He hated Naraku but he liked what he did to him. He hated being touched but he liked… no loved the way Naraku would touch him. He wanted him gone he wanted him here he wanted…
He wanted to go back in time and never meet Naraku so he wouldn't be going through this now. Everything would be just like it always was in his life; done his way no matter what anyone said about it.
He sighed and laid down on the bed and could barely smell Naraku's scent within the blanket. He wanted him to come home.

"No you NEED to come home now." Jak hissed into the phone.
"Why?"
"Because you have to see this; it's important."
"Give me that." Kage growled and jerked the phone from Jak's hand.
"HEY!" He scowled at him.
He gave the boy a glare that said he would be smart to just shut up and let him take care of it. Quite frankly he was sick of this shit between Naraku and Sesshoumaru and even more sick of hearing about it out of Jak. "The boy is curled up in YOUR bed so get your ass home and deal with it." He bit out then hung up the phone. "Now;" he looked up at the boy straddling his lap. "no more interruptions." He threatened through clenched teeth.
"No I'm going to do what I have to do so my little Sessy can find happiness too." He nodded curtly at him.
"Not when it's interfering with mine." He growled as he slipped his hands under Jak's shirt and began pushing it up. "And another thing," he bit out after he removed Jak's shirt and tossed it to the floor. "stop spying on Sesshoumaru. He and Naraku can work this shit out themselves WITHOUT your help." He narrowed his eyes upon him. "Understood?"
"No!" Jak scowled. "Sesshoumaru is my friend and I'm going to do whatever it takes to make him happy." He bit back. "And stop being so vulgar; I don't like it!"
He gripped him by the hips tightly. "That's enough." He glared. "I do not want to hear another word about Sesshoumaru or Naraku for the rest of the night and I mean it!"
Jak smiled hugely at him. "Alright you big baby; all my attention is yours for the night."
"Don't test me." He glowered.
"Never." He smiled as he spread his hands across Kage's exposed chest. "You're the man and you call all the shots."
"Flattery will get you nowhere." He pulled the zipper down on Jak's skirt.
"Well you can't blame a girl for trying." He flirted sweetly. "So tell me," he leaned down and brushed their lips together. "what will get me everywhere?"
"You already know the answer to that question." He leered as he wrapped his arms around his frame and sat up.
"I can do that." He tangled his fingers into his hair as he buried his face into his neck and began nipping lightly upon his flesh. "Actually I think I can do a lot of that." He whispered then smiled happily. Kageromaru was his and he was going to do whatever it took to make sure he stayed his. However he was going to have fun with his little grumpy Gus like he did every night; just to make the sex that much better.
It wasn't that their sex life was bad for that matter it was some of the best sex he's ever had. The only thing that made the sex even better was when his Kageromaru was on edge and felt he had to prove a point. "Have you ever thought about what your wife is going to look like?" He smirked against his neck when he felt him tense; he was sooooo easy.
"What have I told you about that shit?" Kage pulled back and growled at him.
Jak stared at him innocently. "I'm just making conversation."
He narrowed his eyes deeply upon him. "First this is NOT the time." He growled and gripped him tightly in warning. "Secondly what my future wife will look like is irrelevant."
"I was just curious and wanted to see if you ever thought about it." He pouted lightly. "And it's not irrelevant; as your current girlfriend I want to know these things." He nodded.
"That's exactly why you don't need to know those things." He bit out. "What girl wants to know about their boyfriend's past or future girlfriends or wives? None that's how many."
"Well don't you want to know about my future boyfriends?" He questioned while trying to keep from smiling.
"No I don't!" He glared deadly at him. "Stop talking about this because it's beginning to piss me off."
"Why?" He whined.
"Because I said so that's why!" He hissed. "I mean it Jak no more talking about this!"
"Okay okay." He smiled at him then placed a quick kiss on his lips. "I was just thinking and wondering what your future was going to be like when we're not together anymore." Oh he was pushing it and he knew it especially when Kage started grinding his teeth he knew he was asking for trouble.
"What did I just say?" He growled deadly.
"Sorry." He grinned. "Its just those are the things I think about sometimes." He fake pouted. "I mean I know we're not going to be together forever and maybe not even into next year." If it wasn't so obvious he'd pat himself on the back for this performance. "So I can't help but wonder about these sort of things."
"I said enough!" He bit out, flipped them over so he was hovering over the boy, and pinned him tightly to the bed. "You are testing my patience and I'll put up with it no more! Do. You. Understand. Me?"
"Alright not another word; promise." He slipped his arms around his waist and pulled him tight against him.
Kage narrowed his eyes deeply. "I bet." He growled.
"No I promise." He nodded up at him. "Not another word…" he grinned facetiously. "well until you're not coming home at night and I'm wondering where you are."
"You are testing my patience…" he leaned in close so they were eye to eye. "intentionally."
"Nuh huh." He giggled.
Kage shook his head and sighed. "I should punish you."
"Okay." He widened his eyes excitedly. "Punish me; A LOT."
"Don't worry about that;" he smirked darkly. "I'm going to punish you like you've never been punished before." He growled as he slipped his arm under his body pulling Jak flush against his chest.
"Ooooh…" Jak squealed. "this is going be fun."

"Well?" Kikyo questioned expectantly.
"Well what?" Naraku questioned right back.
She pressed her lips together tightly as she narrowed her eyes upon him. "Are you going home to see or are you going to continue to stay here and feel sorry for yourself?"
"I'm not feeling sorry for myself," he growled. "and it's just a ploy to get me home so they can continue to lecture me about stuff that's none of their damn business." He stood up. "I'm going to bed."
"You are not because I want you out of my house." She ordered with a pointed finger towards the door.
"Fine but I'm not leaving tonight." He glared. "I'll be out first thing in the morning."
Kikyo sighed deeply. "Naraku I know you're not like this." She shook her head.
"Like what?"
"This coward." She waved her hand at him. "What is it really that's making you hide from him?"
"I'm not hiding from him." He shook his head and sighed deeply. "I'm just not sure if I want to continue living there facing him day after day after everything. How am I suppose to keep away from him when he's right there in front of me sleeping in the bed right across from my own?" He sighed again. "I just don't think I can respect his wishes when all I want to do is grab him and make him mine every time I see him."
"Have you tried talking to him and I mean JUST TALKING?"
"Yes and he doesn't want to hear what I have to say." He shook his head. "He just argues everything I say without hearing me out."
"So you don't really want to be with him that much. Is that what you're saying?" She questioned with an arched brow.
"No." He sighed. "I can't do all the work and he refuses to meet me half way."
"Well if I understand right YOU go further then halfway and he turns tail and runs." She sighed. "For the last time slow down and give him a chance to adjust so he's not so overwhelmed." She shook her head in exasperation. "I mean really you practically jumped him the day he moved in with you."
"Not the day." He scowled hating that she was right.
"It doesn't matter." She argued with a scowl. "The point is you never gave him a chance to get to know you. Then when you did it was for only a day and you expected him to just let you have your way with him." She pointed a sharp finger in his face. "We've gone through this once already and I'm not going to tell you again. SLOW DOWN!"
"Let me get this straight;" he glared at her. "you want me to go home and see him sleeping in MY bed and for me to do nothing because it's too fast? Woman you make no sense." He shook his head.
"It makes perfect sense." She huffed. "You go home, see him there, let him know that it means something to you, BUT you do nothing about it. Simple."
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." He rolled his eyes. "Besides even if I did want to go home and see I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because it's near midnight now and I have an early class." He sighed. "I should have been in bed over an hour ago."
"So you pull an all nighter." She rolled her eyes. "It wouldn't be the first time."
"I don't want to pull an all nighter." He cringed.
"Not even for the one you claim to love." She arched a brow at him.
"I never said I loved him." He scowled. "I like him."
She shook her head at him. "Oh no; you love him even if you don't know it yet. I mean look at you." She waved her hand at him. "You're hiding out to avoid him, you threw yourself at him practically the moment you met him, you took him shopping for something he loves, took him to lunch and so on. Plus now that you've had your first big fight you want to go back to him but being the coward you are you won't because your pride is more important."
"It's not." He scowled. "I'm just giving him what he wants."
"Exactly; what he wants." She pointed out. "Which just proves my point that you love him. Everything you do your doing because of him not for you but for him."
He hated the sound of that but on the other hand had to admit to a point she was right. "I'm going to bed." He bit out then turned and stormed to his room. He was in no mood to face the truth tonight and he highly doubted he'd want to face it tomorrow either.
"You do that but just know this," she called as he walked away. "in three days you either move back or you find somewhere else to HIDE."
"Whatever." He waved a dismissive hand through the air. Her threat wouldn't make him and Sesshoumaru work things out it'd just make him go somewhere else. Then again he was kind of being a girl about all of this all because of being called a name. Maybe he should go home and end this shit once and for all so he could get his life back… his Sesshoumaru free life. Yes that's what he would do, end it, move on, and live happily ever after.
