Until We Bleed

She was frightened. Of him, he wondered. He only did it to assert that he will always make sure Kikyou was out of harm and was his Lady. The boy he slain ran right into her. He could have hurt her. Kikyou may have been forgiving but Naraku was not. Was he even looking where he was going? He was dead now.

Now Kikyou's face maintained a hint of the stunned expression she wore when he decapitated the servant. She still spoke to him since most servants maintained a vow of silence unless told otherwise. But she was hesitant. Why did she fear him still?

Inuyasha. Inuyasha was still in her mind. Kikyou was reborn and still thought of the dog demon.

His mouth turned into a thin line. If only he could cut her mind from him like he did with the boy.

"Master Naraku," Kikyou whispered as she sat beside him, "I don't want to stay here any longer."

Naraku's arm slid around her, squeezing her to him. She didn't mean it. She couldn't mean it. He won't let her slip away. He would kill her first.

Kikyou trembled in his hold. Scared. She pressed herself against him. Safe.

He pressed his cool lips to her forehead. She was his. She would learn. He didn't like to share. She was his one and only.

Kikyou turned her face up to him, tears running down her face. "You didn't mean it did you? Did you really want to kill that boy?" she asked, desperate for the right answer.

Naraku said nothing. Couldn't say anything. What did she want?

She wiped the tears away. She would believe what she wanted. He was the good guy. He was the only person she knew.

He leaned forward to capture her lips, reveling in her softness. How she clutched at his clothes.

Kikyou accepted him.

She knew it.

She. Was. His.

A/N:

3lue 3utterfly: Naraku's going back to being coocoo for Coacoa Puffs and Kagome's losing her mind XP Hm, I wonder why...

Sahora: I couldn't have Naraku going all soft now. He's Naraku. I was really at a loss as the boy kept apologizing until he came in with his sword and solved my problem :) Inuyasha should be coming in at least a couple chapters later. We're about half-way into the story now and the ball is starting to roll.
