Enjoy Chapter 10!
"I want you, Naraku. But, I won't do this. You're intoxicated and you're angry. I'm not that kind of man." Naoki said as he stood up and walked towards Naraku's clothes. He gathered them up and walked back to Naraku and began dressing him. Naraku couldn't think. He had been rejected again. He looked at Naoki and hung his head.
"Naoki, leave." Naraku said. Naraku stood up and walked towards his bed. He stripped again and laid down.
"Leave now, Naoki. Go tend to the hanyou." Naraku said then pulled the covers over his head. Naoki stood for awhile and looked at Naraku. Tears slowly began to form in Naoki's eyes. He turned and walked away.
…
"Holy shit, I'm blind!" Inuyasha said when he awoke. All he could see was strings of white and confusion began setting in. Inuyasha sat up startled and then noticed the little girl that was on top of him.
"Oh, it's just this cute kid. That was close." Inuyasha said as he wiped his brow. He looked around the room and saw Naoki sitting in a chair away from the bed.
"Good Morning healer." Inuyasha said as he moved Kaana off his lap and net to him on the bed.
"Good Morning Inuyasha, how are you feeling? Any better?" Naoki said with a hoarse voice.
"Yea, much better. What about you? You okay?" Inuyasha said as he removed the covers and hung his legs off the bed.
"Yes, I'm fine. The night air just gave me a chill, that's all." Naoki said softly. He was hoping Inuyasha wouldn't sense him lying, since he wasn't good at it.
Inuyasha stood up and walked towards Naoki, he placed his hand around him and pulled him into an embrace. He held onto naoki and began whispering into his ear.
"Why are you lying? I can smell it. You don't have to tell me though. It's okay."
"Little lies don't hurt anybody." Naoki replied.
"They hurt those who tell them, didn't your mother ever teach you that." Inuyasha said as he held Naoki's face and looked at him closely.
Naoki smiled slightly and said, "I didn't have a mother. I'm a snake, I raised myself."
"Well then Naoki, I'll tell you. Lies hurt the ones who tell them. There, now you know." Inuyasha said and released Naoki's face. He took two steps back and tugged on his own shirt. He wiggled his nose and then his stomach growled.
"Hungry, are we?" Naoki said as he walked toward the bed.
"Starvin'! I haven't eaten in a while. But, I need to leave this place first." Inuyasha bolted out the door.
"No! Inuyasha! Come back!" Naoki said as he ran after Inuyasha.
"Thanks for everything healer, hopefully we'll meet again." Inuyasha shouted as he ran even faster, trying to find the door. He turned the corner and saw a large door.
'That must be it!' He thought. Inuyasha pushed the door open and realized he was wrong. He was in a bedroom, nowhere near the exit.
"What the fuck? How many bedrooms does this place have?" Inuyasha said as he stomped his feet and growled.
"Thirteen. Thirteen bedrooms altogether and each of them have their own private bath." A voice replied.
"Who is that?" Inuyasha shouted. "Show yourself, you fuckin' coward!"
"Inuyasha, please shut the fuck up." The same voice said.
"Why you...you little fuckin' creep. You think you're something huh? Well then, be prepared to die." Inuyasha growled as he leaped onto the bed and removed the covers.
There he saw him. Naraku, naked and vulnerable. Inuyasha smirked.
"You fuckin' bastard. I'll kill you." Inuyasha shouted. He placed his hands around Naraku's neck and began choking him. Naraku laid there, not fighting back. Naraku looked into Inuyasha's eyes. Inuyasha stopped and began crying.
"Why won't you die?" Inuyasha said as the tears began to form.
"I can't be killed, that way. But, I'll die if you request it." Naraku said as he gently moved Inuyasha off of him and got out of bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked towards the door. Naoki was standing there, awestruck.
"Naoki, do you also wish for me to die?" Naraku said. "Should I go kill mys-" Naraku's head turned swiftly and then he ran towards the closet. He grabbed a robe and wrapped it around his pale body.
"Naraku-onii-chan? Onii-chan?" Kaana said as she walked into the room. "There's no breakfast and I'm hungry. Aren't you hungry Onii-chan? Puppy! The puppy is hungry too, Ni-chan! Food! Food!" Kaana said as she ran over to Naraku and jumped into his arms.
"Yes Kaana, I know you're hungry, but first...some little girl I know needs to take a bath." Naraku said softly as he finger-combed Kaana's hair into place.
"Aww...I hate baths Onii-chan. Do I have too? I don't stink!" Kaana said, Naraku giggled and Naoki smiled as he watched the two converse.
"Yes, no dirty little girls at my table." Naraku said firmly. he picked up Kaana and walked her to the bathroom. The disappeared from sight, leaving Naoki and Inuyasha in the room alone.
"Inuyasha…" Naoki said softly, his voice still hoarse.
"I know, I can't kill him because of her, she needs him." Inuyasha said as he wiped his tears away and fixed his hair. He climbed off the bed and walked towards Naoki.
"I won't kill him, but I damn sure won't become his victim again. I'm getting out of here and I think you should too." Inuyasha said as he walked past Naoki and back into the hallway.
"Inuyasha...just...please...understand." Naoki said as he walked after Inuyasha. Inuyasha already made it back to the room he was in and laid back on the bed.
"What Naoki? What? Understand what? Why should I? He raped me! He touched me! There's nothing to understand. He's evil. He's been trying to kill me and my friends for jewel shards. He killed my first love. The only woman who accepted me! She's dead and now she's back, just angry with me and haunting me and stealing fucking souls! So tell me Naoki, what the fuck do I need to understand?"
"I'm not trying to vouch for him. I know he's wrong. I already talked to him about that. I confronted him for you! I care about your health, I want to make sure you're okay. You can't leave because once you leave, you will be in danger!"
"What the fuck are you talking about? In danger from what?"
"Stronger demons! You're not at full strength yet. You can't just do what you want and not care about yourself!"
"Fuck those demons! I can beat anyone!"
"You can't beat him!"
"Who Naraku? I gave him a chance!"
"No! Not Naraku! Another demon...a scary one!"
"I only smell Naraku and you, Naoki. Who are you talking about?"
"I don't know Inuyasha! I don't know, I just know he's powerful and he's getting closer."
"Who the fuck is it Naoki?"
"I...I...I don't know." Naoki whispered as he fell to his knees.
"I can answer that question, Inuyasha." said a sly voice.
"Kagura?" Inuyasha said.
"Yes, Inuyasha. Would you like to know who it is?" Kagura said as she walked closer to Inuyasha, all the way to his ear.
"Who Kagura? Tell me!" Inuyasha demanded.
"Se-ssho-maru-samaaaa. Ha ha ha."
