Kagome Gazed out at her reflection upon the clear calm river, slowly stripping away the layers of fabric built up over the years. These layers served to keep her warm and to hide the feminine figure that lurked underneath. This would most likely be the last bath, for a while at least, that she could spare without fearing the danger of what was to come, the mating season.

She shed the oversized shirt, and mens pants, along with her prized fire rat jacket and stepped into the cool, soothing river. She would miss this the most, for the next two months she would have to cut her bathing time in half. Not that she wanted to, but a naked women bathing is an open invitation for any lusty male during the mating season.

Kagome sighed as she lowered herself into the water, every inch of her body was consumed and covered, cooling her down after a hard strenuous workout that morning. She looked up into the afternoon sky and let a sly smile form upon her pink, full mouth.

"If only all males could appreciate a bath like this, I might not even mind having a mate if they bathed once in awhile!"

Kagome snickered and dove under the water, swimming masterfully down the edge of the lake and back, not surfacing for a breath until she could take it no longer. When she did, she shook herself dry and flung a stray raven colored lock of her hair back over her shoulder, then gathered the rest of it up and tied it back with a leather strap. If measured while it was up her hair reached down bellow her shoulder blades, when down it easily hit the small of her back.

Her body was sleek and tanned, her muscle tone was easily recognized but not bulky like a males. Twitching two pure white Inu ears, that sat on the top of her head, she listened for any threatening sounds, all was utterly quiet. She folded her ears back on her head and preceded to make her way out of the lovely waters, not wanting to leave, though knowing it was too dangerous to stay.

'This kind of silence is never good, its afternoon but there are no birds singing, no bugs humming, nothing. Something is stocking me...'

Once again Kagome shook the remaining droplets of water off of her body, spraying the ground around her, and dressed steadily. She took this time to close her eyes and focus on the scents around her, it was very faint but even his faint smell was enough to disgust her and draw him out.

"I had no idea that a youkai of such high breeding, like you, would lower himself to peeping on innocent girls as the bathed." Kagome kept her voice as monotone as she could and focused in on the direction of one of the sickest, most demented laughs she had ever heard.

"Why my dear, you know me better then that, I would never degrade you in such a way. I simply heard you splashing around and thought perhaps a young girl had lost her breath and was drowning. You see I only came to help." A young man clad in a baboon pelt slithered his way out of the trees and slowly removed the baboon head presenting a tight lipped smile on his handsome evil face.

"I suppose you actually think that I'm so naive that I'll believe that. If you do, you are sadly mistaken." Kagome's golden eyes shot daggers at the man, Naraku, the bastard you had ruined her life.

Sighing, Kagome absentmindedly ran her fingers over the deep red gashes underneath her left eye, that marred her otherwise flawless face. "What do you want Naraku?"

"You know Kagome, it's never a smart thing to let someone know that they are getting to you, with such a action."

Kagome blushed and snatched her hand away, thoroughly pissed off that he had noticed. "Hey didn't I just ask you what the hell it is that you want! Kami Sama, does it always take you so long to answer such a damned simple question!"

With that he was gone, not so much gone as he was no longer where he was before. Frantically Kagome swung her head around and caught his movements too late. There he was not two inches away from her tracing one gnarled finger down her neck. Kagome shivered in disgust.

"You know what it is I want Kagome, the same thing I've wanted for years." His face came dangerously close to hers and moved to whisper in her ear. "You, it's that simple, I want you and I shall have you. Become my mate tonight Kagome, I'm so tired of this game your playing, we both know how frightened you are of being taken by a weak male fool. If you mate with me I can give you everything you want, everything you need and you will bear my youkai spawn."

It took all of Kagome's will not to gag at his repulsive words. "Well, I think you also know what it is I'm about to say to you my darling Naraku! I would rather become the whore of snake youkai then mate with you!" With that Kagome leapt into the air bringing down her clawed hand, intent on killing the loathsome creature named Naraku, but instead hit nothing but air and ground.

Kagome struggled to regain her balance and shot her glance skywards to see Naraku's figure hovering several feet above the trees.

"Stupid bitch, I gave you an option, a way out of having to deal with that that scares you most! No longer will I give you the choice I have been far more patient with you then I ought to be!"

Kagome strained her eyes, determined not to lose sight of him in case he thought it would be a good idea to attack her.

"You will be mine Kagome, I know how this mating season will be for you! I promise that I won't come after you but I know that when you're too tired to keep fighting you'll come looking to me for help!"

Then he was he was gone, it took him barely a second to completely disappear, he was not only gone from sight but also not a trace of his scent lingered in the afternoon air.

Kagome collapsed upon the ground, spent, too tired from battling her own emotions to remain standing. She knew that he wasn't joking, he would use all of his power to get her. The worse part about it was he had more of a chance in getting her then she had of escaping him.

Kagome flopped down on her back resting her head on her crisscrossed arms and closed her eyes. 'Boy, life really does suck sometimes."
