Chapter 11
Kouga had gone away for the day and had left Naraku in his room again. This time he had left the hanyou unchained. It wasn't like he could escape anyway. The poor spider was about to pop. He could barely walk by himself. Currently he was laying on his back trying to put as little pressure on his ass as possible. Even in his pregnant form the wolf didn't give him a day of rest. He forced the other to mate with him every day, sometimes more than once.
It wasn't like Naraku could say no, he certainly couldn't fight.
"Hey, fatty"
Naraku glared at the intruder in the room. He had become very sensitive about his weight recently. It wasn't his fault, it was the dame pups fault. He saw the she wolf at the door. He believed her name was Ayame.
"What do you want? Kouga's not here." He growled.
"I know, I came to talk to you."
Naraku raised an eyebrow. Usually he would have sent the she wolf running or at least cursed at her but it had been such a long time since he had contact with anyone else but Kouga. He never left this room and the guards wouldn't talk to him. He was kinda lonely.
Ayame walked up to him. He didn't bother to get up. Too much effort.
"You look like you'll give birth soon. How long have you been pregnant?"
"Not sure. Loss track of the days I've been trapped here."
Ayame looked over the hanyou. He had bite marks and bruise all over his body. Her blood boiled thinking Kouga had done them.
Naraku notice her gaze and blushed. He covered himself up more with the blankets.
"Ummm so why are you here?"
Ignoring him Ayame looked around the room. Kouga had made two rocking cribs for the babies and there were toys and babies clothes in the corner. The wolf leader had already prepared for the new pack arrivals. Well at least she knew how many cubs were coming.
"You know that soon Kouga and I will be married. Our packs will join and my pups will be the future leaders of it." She growled.
"Congratulations." Naraku said casually.
"WHAT, you don't care?"
Naraku look at her. His eyes roamed over her body bordly. "Listen you look like a nice girl and I'm sure you will be very happy together. I wish you the best of luck."
"Wait, you're not going to fight for him?" She said surprised.
"He's not worth fighting for. If you have not notice I am here against my will. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that damn genie. But I'll make you a deal. Like it or not your wolf prince is pretty attached to me. I guess I'm just too handsome for my own good. If you want me gone than help me escape."
"Why don't I just kill you?" She cracked her knuckles.
"Because Kouga would smell my blood on your claws and he would never forgive you, especially if you kill his pups as well."
Ayame took a minute to think before nobbing in agreement.
"Your right, I've seen the way he looks at you. I wish he look at me that way."
"No you don't." Naraku lifted his hand out to her. She grabbed it and helped him up.
"So will you help me escape so you can have Kouga all to yourself?" He smirked.
"Alright, let's go now while he's gone. I already put a sleeping spell on the guards."
Naraku shook his head. He rubbed his swollen belly.
"They catch us easily the way I am now. No we have to wait till after I give birth. And you have to destroy that stone bird Kouga has, it's our only hope of escaping with no one being the wiser."
So together they made a plan to escape after Naraku gave birth. Hopefully Kouga would be too busy taking care of the babies to keep a close eye on him.
They stopped talking when they heard someone at the door. Kouga ran in and looked around frantically. He calmed down when he saw Naraku on the bed but tense back up when he saw Ayame.
"Ayame what did you do to my wolfs!"
The girl smiled nervously and flipped her hair. "It was just a little sleep spell. They'll be fine."
"What are you doing here? You not here to try and hurt Naraku are you?" he growled.
"No, I just thought Naraku might have some questions about giving birth or being a mother. I came to offer my advice. He was just asking me how to hold a baby."
Kouga looked at her intensely then at Naraku who seemed to be blushing.
"Is that true Naraku?"
"Yes it's true. I appreciate her help in these strange and confusing times." He rubbed his belly.
"Alright well I thank you for your help Ayame but I can take it from here. I am actually taking Naraku to a group meeting tomorrow for expecting demoness. That's what I was looking for today."
The spiders jaw dropped. No way in hell was he going through that humiliation.
"Well since you have things covered I'll be going now." She quickly made her exist.
Sighing Kouga walked over to him. He looked up and down the other looking for any signs of injuries cause by the she wolf. He found none.
Naraku was surprised when he laid down next to him and rested his head in his chest. A strong hand rubbed his stomach. The wolf was making that low growl to get the babies to move again.
"When I saw the guards on the floor I thought you had tried to escape again." Kouga hummed. "I couldn't believe that my first thought wasn't on how I was going to punish you when I found you, it was that you could get yourself hurt or killed."
Naraku closed his eyes enjoying the feeling of the babies kicking softly. He was sure they could already growl.
"You were worried for your young. A normal father would think the same way." He had long since given up on discussing personal space with Kouga. He felt the others fingers slide up his arms before resting on his shoulder. Gently they message the skin. Narau was grateful whenever the other gave him massages. His body got real sore since he became pregnant.
"It makes me happy to hear you're interested in learning more about raising pups. I was afraid you reject them and leave the raising up to me. Either way I could raise them, my pack would help me, but every baby should have a mother. " He rubbed his cheek against the hanyou's neck.
"These pups are special. They will be my first born." Kouga purred.
"Yes, they're special alright. They will always be second rate to Ayame's kids, not to mention they will be shunned for being part spider and human. How horrible they will feeling knowing by birth right they should be the future leader of the pack but because of your stupid laws they will always be in the shadows."
Kouga froze, all he could do was stare dumbly at the spider with his mouth open.
A sinister smirk formed on Naraku's lips.
"Of course you had to have known that. After all once you marry Ayame I will technically be your mistress. Any children I bare will automatically be considered less than a normal wolfs. How sad that your first born will be out cast. The clan will hate them for the sole fact that I am their mother. But surly you knew all this when you decided to rape be and forcefully pup me. It's a…" Naraku froze when Kouga punched the wall of the cave leaving a dent in the stone. When he pulled his fist out the rock crumbed.
With wide eyes he watched the dog demon close.
"You forget your place Naraku. You speak like you know our ways. You know nothing about wolf law." Kouga voice was stern and deadly. It made Naraku shrink down on the bed shaking.
"It's your fault I have to marry Ayame. Our pack is too small to survive on our own. You attacked us to many times; other demons attacked us to many times. We couldn't gather food or materials to maintain our village. We are just scrapping by now. Many of us won't live through this winter."
"And you thought this was the perfect time to bring in babies into the world. You are such a responsible leader Kouga." He said sarcastically. Naraku knew he was pressing his luck but he just couldn't keep quiet anymore. He had been holding in his emotions for weeks.
Kouga did something he never thought he do. He smiled sweetly at him. Confused he remained silent.
"I thought that if the clan saw new pups, they have more hope for the future. This would be the first littler since you first killed my comrades. Naraku despite what you think I still have hope that I will find another way to save my pack. That way I won't have to marry Ayame."
"I'm sure the she wolf won't be too happy about that. Besides I think you two would make a great couple." Naraku backed away when he felt a hand rest on his leg.
"You sound almost jealous." Kouga teased.
"Oh I am jealous. Ayame is a beautiful women and a mutt like you doesn't deserve her. If I wasn't a prisoner and cursed by that wish I try my luck with her."
Kouga narrowed his eyes. His jaw tightens and he wrinkled his nose.
"You sure like pushing my buttons today. You actually took the urge to have sex away. For someone who calls themselves my mistress you're not very good at seduction."
Kouga wrapped his body with his blanket. He decided to take a little nape.
Naraku smiled, it seemed like today he got off scot free. He wouldn't need to have sex today. Maybe he be able to sit up tomorrow.
…..
Kouga had to drag Naraku out of the cave the next day. The spider yelled and refused to go to the meeting. It took some negotiating on the wolf's part. He promised not to have sex with him for three days if Naraku willingly attended the meeting.
"I can't believe I agreed to this." He was sitting in a clearing on top of stump with about ten other expecting demons. They were demons of all kinds, cats, rabbits, wolfs, and even a dragon. Some had already babies in their arms. Most had their mate next to them. Angry he scooted away from Kouga not wanting the group to think they were together.
The teacher was an older women. She seemed to be a water demon of some kind. She had long blue hair and fair skin. Her lips were blood red and she had bright pink eyes.
"I see we have new members joining us." She looked towards them. "I'm happy to have you in my class."
Kouga smiled and shook her hand. Naraku turned his head to the side.
"Be nice" the wolf whispered.
"Strange, I didn't know spider males could give birth."
A pregnant dragon demon looked at him. It was then Naraku notice it was actually a male. He saw the long green hair and purple lip stick and just assumed it was a male. Upon closer examination he saw that it wasn't makeup but just the natural color of his lips.
"Do you have dragon blood in you?" He asked. His mate was sitting beside him. He was a big dragon demon with short bright red hair.
"No, we just found a genie and made a wish so he could get pregnant." Kouga wrapped his arm around the spider playing the part of the loving mate perfectly.
"Oh how wonderful. I have friends who would kill for that kind of wish. My name is Jarra and this is my mate Sebastian." The pregnant dragon said happily. The other dragon waved. "He can't talk." The smaller one threw in.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Kouga and this ball of sunshine is Naraku."
The spider snorted and crossed his arms.
"Please forgive his rudeness. He's been every sensitive lately."
Naraku glared at him. He couldn't believe he was telling strangers things about him.
The teacher chirped into their conversation. "That normal for any pregnant person. His hormones are on over drive. But since he's male it's not as bad as females."
Naraku looked around. Most of the demons mates were the same species. Cats with cats, dragons, with dragons. There was only one other demon mix couple. It was a tiger demon and a monkey demon. Naraku was the only hanyou in the group. He couldn't help but feel self conscious about this.
Naraku didn't like that he was here but he paid close attention to the lesson. He learned stuff about why he was feeling different all the time; he also learned why his body craved different foods.
Kouga also paid close attention. But more toward about caring for the babies. He also found himself examining the other demons. All the alphas had their mate close by, most were holding their hand or had an arm wrapped around them. The submissive partners were happily leaning against them. He looked at himself and the spider. Naraku was a good two feet away, leaning away from him.
It was a little sad but he pushed those feeling away. After all he and Naraku weren't mates. Naraku was his slave, he didn't have to like him….. But he couldn't refuse his request either.
Grabbing Naraku's stump he dragged the chair over to his and pulled the spider into his arms. A quiet warning growl stopped him from moving away. All Naraku could do was glare at him.
Jarra notice there little show and chuckled mistaking the scene as a lovers' quarrel.
"Any questions" The teacher asked.
Kouga raised his hand. "Yea how is the baby going to come out of him?"
All eyes were on Naraku. He cursed the wolf for making him the center of attention and embarrassing him. Holding Kouga's hand he dug his nails into the skin hoping he cause him as much discomfort as possible. The wolf gritted but ignored the pain.
"We it's different for every species of demons. Dragons for example." she pointed to Jarra. "All male carriers give birth through their rectum. Some fish demons form a virginal entrance and some demons just need to cut the babies out of their stomach."
Naraku shivered. He really hoped they wouldn't need to open him up.
"Since your pregnancy is not natural to your species I have no idea what will happen. You'll just have to wait and see. Sorry I couldn't be much help."
After the meeting some of the demons stayed to socialize with each other. It was weird for Naraku to see so many demons in one place and not fighting. They were acting civil towards each other. Almost like humans in a village.
They started to walk away but Jarra called them over. Naraku wanted to keep walking like he never heard him but Kouga hooked his arm around him and dragged him towards the dragons. They were talking to the money and tiger pair.
"So this is Arma and Joanna. They live a mile nears the south forest."
Kouga shook the males hand. The tiger had a long striped tail and ears. He had a huge chest and on his face were whiskers. The female Joanna had cute money ears and tail as well. She was a little short; she was about five feet tall and had brown hair that reached her neck.
"I'm Kouga, leader of the East wolf tribe and this is Naraku."
Naraku rolled his eyes. Kouga was bragging over his small pathetic pack. Maybe he was trying to compensate because the tiger male was a good foot taller than him. They made an unusual couple with the female so short and the male so tall. He hoped they would have birthing problems.
"Wait, Kouga the one who captured the feared spider demon?" Joanna pointed to him than at the hanyou. "And Naraku the fear spider demon who aims to collect the jewel shard?"
Naraku swallowed hard. He turned his gaze away.
"Wow, I mean just wow. I've heard so many stories about you guys. I thought you two hated each other?"
Naraku decided that he really hated monkeys.
Kouga smirked and pushed Naraku's hips against his. "Well after the epic battle we had, the one I won. Remember honey." He rubbed Naraku's shoulder.
"Well there I was standing over him. He looked so defenseless and adorable I just couldn't kill him. I figured the harsh defeat he suffered was punishment enough."
Naraku's resembled a tomato now but not because he was embarrassed, he was red because he was angry. Kouga was telling lies, lies that made him look bad.
"So I bent down to help him but he was so scarred he fainted. I decided to take him home and help him recover. I guess little by little we fell in love and this happened." He gently patted Naraku's stomach.
"Oh wow, that's such an amazing story." Joanna squeaked.
"Yes, quiet amazing. So are you still in pursuit of the jewel shards?" Arma asked the spider.
"Of course..."
"Not" Kouga interjected. "He has decided to devote himself entirely to raising ours kids. Isn't that right Naraku?"
The spider growled. He saw the smug look he was getting form Kouga. He was enjoying this. Well fine, if he wants to make up stories he would make a few of his own.
"Yes, I need to put my full concentration in making sure these babies grow up strong and healthy."
Kouga smiled. He liked the answer he got from the spider, even if it was forced. Maybe Naraku was really going to love their pups.
"I have to take care of Kouga first and last little." Naraku hide his sneer.
When the rest of the group looked at him confused Naraku deiced to keep talking. "Well you see Kouga has a condition. He cant have pups of his own. Something down there doesn't work right." He pointed to the wolfs crotch. Kouga had his mouth open in surprise.
"The genie let us have kids but I'm afraid it's just a onetime thing." Naraku gave the wolf a pity look.
"How unfortunate." Kouga received more looks of pity from the group.
Putting on a fake smile Kouga squeezed the spiders arm hard. His claws dug into the skin. "Well look at the time, we really need to be going." He all but dragged Naraku away.
"See you next week" Jarra yelled as they went into the woods.
