Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. I write for my own pleasure. I have to purge the demons somehow.
Kagura sat across from the sorceress, watching as she mixed the powder and potion. "Now remember, Sesshomaru will fall in love with the first person he sees. Though, since he's a dog demon, it could even be an animal. I don't know that much about demon's reactions. So be careful, you don't want him trying to mate with a fox or wolf, or even a rabbit for that matter.(A.N. Yes, I know, I'm rabbit bashing in my fic again. Honestly, I have nothing against them)
"I understand. And the potion?"
"That will keep Naraku from being able to access his youki. He shouldn't be able to bother you or anyone else for some time. Might I suggest you send Kikyo to visit him." Both women fell over laughing. When she had recovered, Kagura paid the sorceress and left.
********************
Kagura watched as Sesshomaru rose and began to get dressed. "Won't you stay a little longer?"
Sesshomaru gave her a cold and somewhat pitying look. "You know I do not cuddle. Ever."
Kagura decided the moment had come and poured the powder in her hand, she stood up and moved towards Sesshomaru, who frowned at her. "I thought I made myself clear..." he began, only to have Kagura blow something into his eyes. He growled and rubbed them, finally opening them blearily just as a cloud of black smoke appeared and Naraku stepped out. Golden eyes stared into red ones. "NARU-CHAN!!", the half naked Sesshomaru said and wrapped his right arm around him in a hug.
"NANI?!" Naraku managed to squeak out.
"FUCK!!" Kagura shouted, then she threw the potion on Naraku. "Kisama!! You ruined everything, you bag of youkai remnants!!"
Naraku managed to squeeze out of Sesshomaru's grasp and ran after Kagura, grabbing her arm. "What the fuck is going on?"
"Let me go." Kagura kicked him in the shin. "Sesshomaru was supposed to see me first. ME. Now it's all ruined and it's your fault." She kicked him again. "I hope he ends up being the top."
"Nan da to?" Naraku looked back at Sesshomaru who was giving him seductive looks. Naraku's eyes widened as he realized what Kagura meant by Sesshomaru being the top. That would make him the.....his eyes widened even more. "You were doing a love spell." Kagura nodded. "Well undo it then, now." He was unable to call forth any of his youkai and was starting to feel a bit panicky. There was no mistaking the look in Sesshomaru's eyes.
"I can't." She smirked. "And you can't use your youki either. You can't call any of your youkai. You are on your own." Naraku ran.
********************
Inuyasha and company were sitting in Kaede's cottage drinking tea and eating snacks from Kagome's time. Inuyasha stood, dropping his bag of snack chips.
"What is it?"
"It smells like Naraku, but a little different."
Naraku came running into Kaede's cottage, panting heavilly. Inuyasha growled and the others waited while Naraku caught his breath. And waited some more. Still more. "Oi Naraku, you are really out of shape." Naraku stood and finally found the breath to speak.
"I need your help." Sango's response was to grab her hiraikotsu. The others just stared, completely at a loss for words. Naraku walked over and helped himself to some tea. He took a couple of deep breaths. "Actually, I need the Lady Kaede's help." (The said Lady Kaede raised her brows in surprise. Naraku being polite? This should be very interesting). "Kagura was attempting a love spell and it went horribly wrong. I need you to remove it."
Inuyasha sniffed at him. "You smell different." His eyes went wide. "You're covered in Sesshomaru's scent." The room became completely silent, even the insects stopped buzzing about. Naraku turned three shades of red.
"I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I got caught in the middle of Kagura's spell." Naraku drank the rest of his tea and sighed. "Instead of falling in love with Kagura, Sesshomaru has fallen in love with me." The cottage exploded in laughter. "It's not at all funny and I need the spell removed."
"Only the one who made the spell can provide you with the means to unmake it. Gomen."
"What am I supposed to do if he decides to mate?" Naraku was on the verge of losing it.
"You have all those youkai inside of you. Use them. I'm sure you can hold him off."
"I can't. Kagura threw some sort of potion on me that makes me unable to summon my youkai." Naraku immediately wished he could call his words back. BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA
"Are you saying you're helpless right now?" Inyuasha stood up with the Tetsusaiga, Miroku unwrapped the prayer beads around his right hand, Kagome raised her bow, Sango readied her hiraikotsu and Shippo grabbed a good sized rock. They got between Naraku and the door.
"You are supposed to be honorable. You wouldn't strike me down while I am unable to defend myself?"
"Wanna bet?" The group advanced on him. It was Naraku's good fortune that Sesshomaru chose that moment to arrive. He brushed past the group and grabbed Naraku by the arm.
"There you are. I have been looking everywhere. It's getting late and we need to pick up Rin and Jaken." He went back out into the night dragging a protesting Naraku behind him.
"Well, I guess you can tell who the dominant partner in that relationship is going to be." They all exploded into hysterical laughter.
********************
Naraku woke up the next morning, lying on his fouton, completely disoriented. His body felt incredibly sore. He decided to take a bath and started to get up, only to find himself unable to move. Something heavy was lying sprawled across his back. He reached back. Make that someone. He explored a bit more. A male someone. He groaned. He had hoped the previous day had simply been the after-effects of the mushrooms he had eaten. No, he was lying underneath a sleeping Sesshomaru. He managed to roll Sesshomaru off of him and stood up, stretching. Sesshomaru mumbled something and reached out for him, then turned over and went back to sleep. Naraku was pleased to note a partially full bottle of sake. He grabbed the sake, some clothes, and headed for the bath. Upon arrival, he stood for a few moments looking at his reflection in the water and assessing the damage Sesshomaru had done to his person. There were deep claw marks on his back and chest, scattered scratches and bruises, and a few bite marks. Including one at the base of his neck where it joined his shoulder. A mating mark. He hissed as he sat in the bath, bottle of sake in one hand, a sponge in the other.
"My, aren't we a pretty sight." Kagura stood there smirking at him.
"Your boyfriend is, ehm, a rather enthusiastic lover."
"Correction. Your boyfriend." Kagura saw the bite mark. "Or should I say mate."
"Urusai, na!!" Naraku took a deep breath to calm himself. He was going to need Kagura's help and in his present state there was no way he could use force. "I am, if anything, even more unhappy with this turn of events than you. We need to work together to locate the sorceress."
Kagura took the sponge from Naraku's hand, and to his surprise, began to gently wash his back with it. "I began looking yesterday. She seems to have vanished. The potion I threw on you will lose its effectiveness in a few weeks time. I don't know about the powder that contained the love spell. It might be forever."
"Well, then the worst possible scenario is that I endure for a few weeks, then when my powers return, I can just kill him. Problem solved."
Kagura took the sponge and rubbed Naraku's sore back hard. He yelped. "KISAMA!! You will not kill Sesshomaru!!
Naraku glared at her. "I am not going to spend my life as a uke (the submissive or bottom partner) to a flea bitten dog youkai!!"
"Uke?" Kagura started to laugh. She dropped the sponge and sat on the floor, holding her sides.
"KUSO. KUSO! KUSO!! KUSO!!!" Naraku got out of the bath, and got dressed, not bothering to dry off. "Let's go, before Sesshomaru wakes up."
