A/N:
I hope to introduce Inuyasha's soul mate in either this chapter or next.
Disclaimer: Nope.
Chapter Eleven: Playing with Fire
"Aria, what's going on between you and Sesshoumaru? I noticed some kind of chemistry back there."
"I suppose you could say we were once friends. Although, it was more of an acquaintance. He has always been cold but there was a time I was able to wiggle through the ice."
"Wow, you mean you guys were kind of close then?"
"Well, not exactly close but I'm sure we would have been great friends if things had turned out differently."
Kagome stared at the angel as they made their way to the hot springs near by. She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Aria. She must have had a hard time like Inuyasha did. Kagome thought back to the events that had lead to this moment.
'I am so messed up right now. Maybe it's because of my transformation but I couldn't care less right now. I can't believe I'm having urges about Naraku. Jeez, what in the hell am I thinking?'
Aria sighed as she slid her body down into the warm water and let it work it's magic. She looked at Kagome and asked her if she was going to just stand there or come in.
Kagome laughed and entered the water as well. It was time to do some serious getting to know each other.
"Aria, maybe we should get to know each other. If your going to guard me and if we are going to be friends."
"That is true. You know, I've watched you most of your life. You have a good heart and are kind to those who need it most. I wish I had known you as a child. We would have been great friends."
"Well, thanks. We can still be friends. I just have to know... are you interested in Naraku?"
"Oh, no. Our time has came and went." she laughed.
"I feel horrible. It feels like I am being drawn to him. I know it's wrong and I have no idea what to do about it. I can't talk to Sango about this right now because I know she would look at me with disgust."
"Oh, no sweetheart. You don't need to worry about what Sango thinks. She loves you like a sister and would support you in whatever you do. I could tell you why you are attracted to Naraku but I am not sure I should. I don't know for sure if it would be against the rules or not."
"Oh please! You have to tell me. It will help me please. I don't want to feel dirty about my feelings and that is how I feel."
"I probably shouldn't but to ease you I will tell you. Naraku is your soul mate. The reason you are being pulled to him because your soul is calling out to him."
Kagome sat stunned for a long while before she could even being to process the news. How was it possible for Naraku to be her soul mate? Kagome looked at Aria and knew she was not joking about something like this. She felt a little betrayed by the Kami. Who in the world would have matched her up with Naraku?
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sorry Kagome. There is no doubt you two belong together. I can't tell you more than that otherwise I might change something and that would be bad."
Kagome nodded and dunked herself under the warm water. As she popped up she grabbed a bottle of body wash she has brought with them. Aria cleaned herself thoroughly and asked Kagome if she could borrow some shampoo and conditioner. Kagome agreed and Aria quickly finished her hair. She got out, dried herself off and waited for Kagome to finish.
Kagome stared at Aria. The water did amazing things to her wings and she felt a big jealous. She wanted wings like that. It's so cool to have water just roll off like that. Kagome shook her head and sunk lower into the water.
"If you don't mind could you give me a bit by myself. I need to soak up this information and deal with it."
"As you wish. If you need me all you have to do is but call and I will be here."
Aria turned and walked away. She knew this information was a bit much for Kagome to handle but the sooner she found out the sooner she would be able to cope and move on. She would be able to handle this, she was a strong spirited woman. Aria smiled as she sat on the hill overlooking the hut. She saw Naraku sneak out of the hut and go towards Kagome. She smiled, she knew he would not hurt Kagome. Aria turned and watched the summer wind breeze through the blooming flowers.
With Kagome
'Ah, this water feels so good. I'm happy to be training but this is going to be hard on my body. I'm going to have to get some muscle rub next time I'm in my time.'
Kagome's body went stiff as she felt a familiar aura. Naraku was near. She turned her head in the direction of his aura, he stepped through the trees and stood in front of her. It was a good thing the water covered her or else she would have totally freaked out about Naraku seeing her like this. It kind of turned her on.
"Is there something you want?"
Before Kagome could blink Naraku was naked and in the water next to her. That was enough to make her blush and turn away. She realized now that something was going to happen. She screamed at him, telling him to get away from her and not to look at her. Naraku laughed and turned her around to face him.
"What in the hell do you think your doing!"
"What is it about you that has drawn my attention? Sure, I've been interested in you for quite some time but that was for the Jewel... among other things."
"Aria hasn't told you then, has she?"
"Told me what?"
"We are supposed to be soul mates, according to her."
Naraku was stunned just as much as Kagome had been. This was just the excuse he needed. He grinned and brought Kagome to his body and kissed her soundly. She tried to protest and push him away but as she leaned back to scream he deepened the kiss. She melted in his arms and succumbed to the feeling of pure pleasure.
Naraku was as talented as kissing as he was tormenting.
Kagome moaned as Naraku's hands roamed her bare back. As he lifted Kagome into his lap her legs wrapped around his slim waist. He moaned as her hot core settled briefly over his engorged member. Kami, how he wanted her. She made him hotter than the fires of hell.
Kagome knew this was wrong but she felt too good to care. Naraku knew this was wrong but since when did he care about such things? He knew he wanted Kagome and he would damn well have her. Naraku inhaled the scent of Kagome's arousal and broke the kiss. He nibbled his way from her ear to the pulse point of her throat. Kagome moaned in wanton abandon and leaned her head to the side so that he had more neck to ravish. Kagome let her hands wonder his body and couldn't help but be even more turned on at the thought of his hot hard as steel muscles covered in satiny skin. She couldn't get enough of him and she wanted more.
A growl ripped through her throat which startled them both. Kagome looked at Naraku in embarrassment and Naraku gave her a sexy smirk before positioning himself at her hungry entrance. Kagome moaned in anticipation. A soft growl escaped Naraku's throat before he... got interrupted.
"Ew! Yuck! How gross... I'm scared for life!" Inuyasha turned and ran back to the village.
'That's what I get for checking on a friend. OH MY KAMI! Not a sight I wanted to see...'
Everyone looked at Inuyasha as he entered the hut, beet red. Sango looked at him curiously, while Miroku had an inkling of what had transpired. Aria on the other hand just shook her head and laughed.
"I told you not to go but you didn't listen."
"You knew what was going on? AND you let... you..."
"Yes, Inuyasha, I knew what was happening and what would have happened had you not interrupted them as you did."
"You mean, Lady Kagome and Naraku were..."
"Interrupted before anything could happen..." Kagome said barging into the hut and glaring daggers at Inuyasha.
Nobody knew where to put their eyes, so just looked at the floor instead. Kagome scrunched up her nose and sighed. Naraku glared at Inuyasha the whole time. Damn it, couldn't a guy get a damn break around here? Aria stiffened, looked around the hut, searching...
"What is the matter?" Miroku caught on before anyone else.
"Stay inside, something is not right."
"Stay inside? I don't think so." Inuyasha scoffed.
"YOU WILL DO AS YOU ARE TOLD!" Aria forcefully spoke as she left.
Everyone was surprised. What in the world had gotten into her? She had never been anything but polite. If whatever is outside startled her that much then something was definitely wrong. Moments had passed and no noise could be heard, not even the sound of birds and bugs and other natural things.
With Aria
Something was amiss. She felt it deep in her bones. The evil was fast approaching. She drew her sword in preparations for the 'thing' and was shocked when it changed directions and went back the way it came. That shock soon wore off as she realized Sesshoumaru was close by. Whatever it was sensed him and ran. It was not yet strong enough to fight both an angel and a demon, it seems. Aria waited for Sesshoumaru to emerge from the forest, behind him trailed a small brown haired human, a nasty green imp, and an impressive two headed dragon.
Aria bowed her head as he got closer and received a nod in return. The little girl clung to the back of his pants and peeked out to observe her. Ah-Un sniffed her outstretched hand and Jaken stared wide eyed and opened mouthed. He knew this creature. Sesshoumaru turned his head to face where the disturbance had been and narrowed his eyes.
"You felt it, I assume."
"Aye, I did. It seemed to change it's mind when it felt your aura. It mustn't be strong enough to defeat both of us, just yet."
"You will guard Rin with your life." It wasn't a question, but a statement.
"Aye, of course I will. The others are inside."
"Rin, this is Princess Aria of the North. You will behave yourself and give her no trouble."
"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin said bouncing on one foot.
"She is an energetic child." Aria said smiling at Rin and holding out her hand.
"Indeed. I will pick her up in three days. See to it no harm befalls her or it will be your head."
"No harm will come to any under my protection. Your threat is not needed, My Lord. Need I remind you to whom you speak?"
Sesshoumaru looked at her blankly. She knew she hit a nerve. Nobody spoke to him that way but she was entitled. She was a Lady and would not be threatened by anyone. Not only was she a lady but she was a guardian. It was her job to protect and she did her job well. She huffed, very unladylike (if you ask me). She crossed her arms in a very childlike manor. She was about ready to give him some more of her mind when she felt a tug on her robes (description later). She looked down and noticed Rin was holding onto her and smiling up at her with her cute lopsided, gap toothed grin.
"All will be well, Sesshoumaru. You needn't worry while she is under my protection, of that you can be sure."
He still looked skeptical. He may have been a demon but this little girl was like a daughter to him. Still, he knew better than anyone Aria honored her word. Aria turned and went towards the hut with Rin in tow. Sesshoumaru looked undecided for a moment before following after the two. He would make sure Rin would be comfortable before leaving. Sango, Miroku, Kagome, Inuyasha and Naraku were all waiting outside. Sesshoumaru didn't like Naraku being there... not one bit. Rin ran to Kagome and squeezed.
"If I may have a word?" Sesshoumaru grabbed Aria's elbow
.
"I will be back shortly, Kagome please take care of Rin." She allowed Sesshoumaru to guide her away.
"You can let go now." She said as they were quite a distance away.
"I do no like Naraku near Rin. He has attempted many times to harm her."
"Nobody likes Naraku. He is needed and you know that. He will not harm her. I will not allow it."
She turned to walk back to the village but before she had gone two steps he had her by the elbow and turned her around to face him. His eyes were tinged pink and he snarled.
"You do not dismiss me, woman!"
"Unhand me! You overbearing, pompous male!" She didn't like being forced to do anything.
That was it, the last straw broke. This woman, stood up to him, dismissed him and he didn't like being treated as an equal. It was all he could take! He grabbed both of her shoulders and brought her in for a hard kiss. It was a kiss of punishment. He meant to show her he is the dominant one and would be respected!
She was not one to be pushed around! As punishment for him she complied. Her body molded to his and she wrapped her arms around his neck, she moved her head enough to deepen the kiss. In his shock he didn't know how to respond.
She gently untangled herself from his hold and smirked. She knew how to play and play she did. Her father wasn't a demon for nothing and with all the charms of her mother... she couldn't lose. She backed up a little bit and put her hands on her hips. She smiled alluringly before sashaying back towards the village. She had gotten about ten steps away when she looked over her shoulder. He was still standing where she had left him, shock evident on his handsome face.
"One thing, Sesshoumaru... you play with fire and you WILL get burned." she laughed and continued on her way.
'Get burned, will I? Hn, let the games begin.'
Somewhere unknown
"Fucking stupid demons... fucking stupid angels... I will be strong... soon, and when I am..."
His evil laughed echoed through the dark, dank halls of his hiding place. He turned to his female companion and bid her to come. She came forward, a look of displeasure on her beautiful face.
"You will do as I say and no harm will come to your son!"
A/N:
Oh, dun dun dun! We have a nice game of who will get burnt first between Sesshoumaru and Aria. Naraku and Kagome finally get some action and blackmail for an ending... how nice. Hope ya liked it. Next chapter: Look forward to play time with Rin, introduction to Inuyasha's soul mate AND one on one alone time for Naraku and Kagome.
