AN: Okay it's only a short chapter since I'm suffering from a small writer's block. Hope you enjoy and be warned of lemony situations.

CH: 7 Searching

Naraku eyes opened slowly. He felt a distinct pain his chest. "I tried to heal as much as I could, but I didn't want too lose consciousness and leave us totally defenseless." He looked up to see Kagome hovering over him and noticed their position.

They were still at the cite of their last battle. His head was in Kagome's lap and she was looking down at him with sad and worried eyes. He could tell that she had been crying. The smell of her blood mixed with the intense scent of blood that filled the clearing. "What happened?"

"You took the ultimate blast of the Testsusaiga while totally off guard. I thought I lost you." Kagome's words were soft and Naraku could tell that there was more that she was not saying. He knew that she would tell him in time.

"We should go back." Naraku got to his feet not showing any of the pain that he was in. He looked the clearing over. In the very middle was a large red stain and had the most intense scent of blood, Inu Yasha's blood. Under a tree was a grave, Naraku knew that Kagome must have buried the hanyou. He could not understand why she showed such honor to one who had caused her so much pain.

Kagome could sense Naraku's pain. She put her arm around him to help support him. He was about to protest, but she gave him a look that told him to keep his mouth shut. He normally would ignore a look like that, but he was still too weak to protest.

It took the two of them some time to get back. Both were tired and weak. It was a good thing the clearing had not been that far. Kagome had suggested that they get Kagura to come and give them a ride, but Naraku had flat out refused. Naraku was not about to let his untrustworthy detachment to see him in such a weakened state. It might give her certain mutinous ideas.

By the time they both came into Naraku's mansion the sun was setting. Kagome set Naraku's onto his bed and asked Kohaku to bring them something to eat. She sat next to him and told him everything that had happened. By the end she had tears running down her cheeks again.

Naraku pulled her to lie next to him and held her close until her tears stopped. He strangely felt thankful to Inu Yasha for not killing his Kagome, but pushed the weak emotion aside. He could live with the emotions that he felt for Kagome, but he would not feel anything as weak as gratitude towards the now dead mutt.

Kohaku came in and set a tray down and left. He knew that he was not wanted at the moment.

Kagome settled into Naraku's warm embrace. She still couldn't get over what had happened. 'I killed Inu Yasha.' She had held him in her arms for a few minutes and then buried him. She knew that he had caused her a lot of heartache and pain, but hadn't killed her when he had the chance. She knew he must have felt something for her in the end and she said a prayer over his grave. She wished him luck and love in his next life.

She had also been amazed at how worried she had been when she had seen Naraku get hurt. After Inu Yasha's burial she was filled with fear going over to the unconscious. She was terrified that she would find that he was not just unconscious and that she had lost another person in her life. She knew that if she lost anymore people she wouldn't be able to go on. As ironic as it was Naraku was the only one she had left.

Kagome snuggled closer against him and was happy when she felt his arms tighten around her. "I love you." She whispered, her face buried against his chest, but he heard her.

"As I you." He pulled her up and kissed her sweet lips. He didn't even want to think about the fact that he had almost lost her. It was obvious that they would both need to begin their training again before they went in search of the scaly bastard the had hurt his Kagome.

They fell asleep in each other's embrace.

'Where the hell is she? Stupid child. When I find her I will make her die slowly.' The forest seemed dead silent. No small creatures ran around and there was no birds chirping. It was late at night, but still there were no noises of owls or any other night creatures. It seemed as if every creature of the forest had either ran or just disappeared.

'She cannot hide from me. Her family was too easy a kill, but she hadn't been there. The village put up a pathetic fight, but again she was gone. That foolish child will not escape me.' The only thing the forest held were shadows and one seemed to be moving slowly through the forest not making a sound. 'Get ready girl because I will find you.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome woke with a start. The dream she had was still fresh in her mind, but she couldn't understand what it had meant. It was filled with a lot of death and it seemed that she had been the cause. She shivered a bit as she remembered the destruction she had seen in her mind. Her shivering stopped though when she felt two arms tighten around her and pull her closer to a warm body.

Kagome looked up and her eyes met Naraku's dark brown ones. She could see concern in his eyes and snuggled closer against him. "Just a nightmare." Kagome stated.

Naraku nodded, knowing that if it was a real problem she would tell him. He pulled her closer and took in her sweet scent. His eyes went wide when he smelt another scent mixed with hers. It was the spicy scent of her oncoming heat.

He began to stroke her lower back and inhale her new spicy scent. Kagome felt heat building in her lower stomach due to Naraku's stroking. She cuddled closer against him and her eyes went wide when she felt the effect she was having on him. She looked up at him, but before she could say anything he captured her lips with his.

All of Kagome's thought processes stopped when she felt his tongue run across her lips. She moaned and he took the opportunity to push his tongue into her mouth. He would never get tired of her taste. She brought her tongue to brush against his and heard what she thought was a small growl.

Naraku rolled onto his back and brought her on top of him, her legs straddling his. Kagome pulled back and smiled down at him. He began to lick and nip her neck. Her moans and scent were making it hard for him to keep control over his need to just take her.

Kagome braced her hands on either side of Naraku while he began to undo her clothing. He circled one of her nipples with his tongue as he massaged the other breast in his hand. Kagome moaned as she felt him begin to suckle on her. Her moan soon became a gasp when his free hand went to her lower back and pulled her against him make her heat rub against his arousal.

Naraku's mouth moved to her other breast and his hands went to remove the rest of her clothing. Soon Kagome was naked and aroused while straddling an equally aroused Naraku.

Naraku stroked Kagome's wet fold with one of his fingers while he kissed down her stomach. His tongue would dart out at times tasting her. The licks and kisses were enough to make Kagome go crazy, but when she felt his hand move to stroke her heat she almost came.

Naraku's fingers began to probe at Kagome's entrance and then stroked her from the inside. His mouth had also reached her heat and he licked her little nub that sent shocks through her body. When he lightly nipped it, Kagome couldn't hold back any longer and she came practically screaming his name.

Naraku brought his mouth back to Kagome's and she could taste her arousal on his tongue. But what really got to her was when he brought the finger that had been within her to his lips and licked it clean.

All of the foreplay left Naraku incredibly aroused and his hands went to Kagome's waist positioning her above him. He captured her lips in an intense kiss and thrust his arousal into her tight heat. He started off at a fast pace which Kagome tried to keep up with.

Kagome held onto Naraku's shoulders and let out a slight yelp of surprise when he rolled over so he was on top. He stared into Kagome's eyes which she was trying to keep open. Kagome's muscles tightened around him as she reached her second orgasm. "Naraku!" With one final thrust he spilt his seed into her.

Kagome moaned as she felt his essence in her. All the thoughts of Kikyou and Inu Yasha melted away as well as the revenge that she still needed to accomplish. It was as if they were in a world where only the two of them existed.

"Where is she?" A woman cowered as she looked up at the figure leaning over her.

"I-I don't know who you're talking about." She tried to scoot back form her position on the ground. "Please don't hurt me." Her eyes were wide with fear and in a last ditch effort she got up and ran.

She didn't have a chance. Her screams echoed through the now deserted village. 'She could not have disappeared. I destroyed the well, I know she's here. Stupid humans. What worthless creatures.'

The figure began to move down a path toward another village. 'Perhaps these filthy humans will have more information.' A sadistic smile appeared on its face. He was getting very aggravated that he couldn't find his prey, but he trying to get information out of the humans was turning out to be rather enjoyable.
