(A quick note to Paige50, as much as I enjoyed reading your review ((it
really did make me laugh)), I would like to remind you that they aren't
really in a 'cave' it's kinda like... a big black ball-look's thing, as
stupid as that sounds. Anywho, yes, you're right there was some fluff, but
that doesn't exactly mean it's a *pairing*, it just means that Kurama might
have some competition for the next story ((the one that talks about what
happened with Souta)) besides... if I didn't, Naraku would have killed me...
::Mumbling:: damn horny basterd. I hope you enjoy this chapter! ::runs away
from anti-Naraku/Kagome pairing fans:: )
((By the way... Fire Kitsune Goddess, technically, Kagome and Yoko aren't 'dating' so it's not really 'cheating' now is it? ::smirk:: )

Kagome woke up to see Naraku sleeping close to her... a bit too close. In fact, he seemed to be right next to her. Kagome growled, "Naraku, if you do not move within the next five seconds, you will find yourself in a mass amount of pain." She waited five seconds, but he seemed to be asleep. Kagome grabbed Naraku by the neck, and squeezed for all she was worth.
Naraku's eyes shot open the moment she touched him, and his hand went strait into her chest, and gripped her heart. Kagome instantly let go, and so did Naraku. He raised an eyebrow, "Now, why were you attacking me?"
"Get away from me, or else, Naraku!" Kagome glared at him.
Naraku smirked and got closer, "Or else what, Kagome?"
Before Naraku could blink, Kagome had both his hands pined, with Tetseiga, above his head, (she impaled his hands to the ground with Tetsueiga) and both of her hands wrapped firmly around his neck.
Naraku would have laughed, if he could breath. He settled for choking out the words, "So, this is how the oh-so-pure guardian of the Shikon no Tama behaves?" Kagome let go of him, and backed away, and mumbled something. Naraku raised an eyebrow, "What was that?"
Kagome sighed and repeated herself, "I'm sorry. That's not how a priestess should act at all. It seemed more like something a person like you would do."
"A person like me?"
"An evil person." Kagome walked over to him, and pulled out Tetseiga.
Naraku sat up, and watched as his hands healed, "Are you trying to imply that *I* was ever evil, Kagome Higurashi?" He faked a hurt look, "Such rash accusations."
Kagome snorted, "Yeah right! Just look at everything you did and try and tell me that you aren't."
"I don't think it should matter what happened in the past." Naraku looked away from her.
"So you can't?"
"That was then, and this is now. Besides, I don't think it matters. Hell, you've been the cause of more pain than I ever could."
Kagome raised and eyebrow, "And how's that?"
"It was you that broke the jewel in the first place, was it not?" Naraku looked at Kagome, expecting her to yell at him, or pull out her sword or something like that. What he didn't expect, though, was for Kagome to sink to her knees and start crying. "What?" He looked at her, confused, "What's wrong with you?"
"Just shut up!" Kagome glared at him, tears flowing down her cheeks, "Leave me alone."
Naraku rolled his eyes, "Don't tell me you're actually upset about this." Kagome didn't do anything, although Naraku could smell the salt from her tears as the fell. He sighed, "You are, aren't you?"
"Leave me alone!" Kagome repeated, turning her back to him.
"I'm sorry, ok?"
"You're right, though," she mumbled.
Naraku rolled his eyes, "Oh, don't tell me you're getting all emotional about that, I mean, come on! It's not that big a deal!"
"Not that big a deal?! THE LIFE OR DEATH OF INNOCENT PEOPLE IS A VERY BIG DEAL!!!"
Naraku sighed, "Listen, I know you really care about that sorta thing, but it's not too important-"
Kagome cut him off, "-It *is* important! People don't deserve to die!"
"Oh really? What about the evil ones, like Onigumo?" Naraku raised an eyebrow, "Are you saying that he deserved to live?"
Kagome nodded, "Yes. Besides, didn't you once say that Onigumo was innocent, and everything was all Kikyo's fault?"
"Only because it was. Besides," Naraku's eyes watered a bit, "Onigumo's wife was with child."
Kagome's eyes soon watered also as she turned to face him, "Really?! That's so sad!"
"No, that was a lie," Naraku smirked, "but the look on your face was priceless."
Kagome growled, "You basterd!"
"Oh yeah, it's not like I've never been called that one before. Anyways, I've been thinking and-"
"Feh." Kagome snorted, "*That's* hard to believe!"
"AND maybe we could come to some sort of deal-"
"-What kind of deal?!"
Naraku rolled his eyes, "If you stop interrupting me, I might be able to get to that part."
"Fine. Go ahead."
"As I was saying, we might be able to come to a deal, as far as getting out of here is concerned. As you know, you are the only one that get me out of here, and vis-à-vis, so why don't we just get each other out, and call it even?"
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's obvious that once we're out of here, you'll turn on my, and we'll fight. Then we'll be no better off than we were when we first got here."
"I promise you that I won't."
Kagome crossed her arm, "And why don't I believe you?" She said, sarcastically.
"This bit of non-trust wouldn't have anything to do with a certain sacred jewel, would it?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You know as well as I do that you're worried about what I will do once we're out. Am I going to be your enemy again? Go after the jewel? Cause as much pain and suffering as I did in the past?"
Kagome sighed, "How did you get to know me so well?"
"Know you?" Naraku laughed, "Actually I was naming the reasons any sane person would have named. Then, how about this, you'll keep half of the jewel, and I'll have the other half."
"No."
"Why not?" Naraku raised an eyebrow, "What could I possibly do with it?"
"What were you planning to do with it in the Warring States Era?"
"Let it absorb all my hatred, and stare at it. It's beautiful when stained with malice-"
Kagome rolled her eyes, "Don't tell me you're going to start with that again!"
"I'm not," Naraku stated, "but I could still do that with half the jewel-"
"You could have done it with half a shard. Anyways, I can't let you have it. Miroriko wouldn't have wanted anything like that to happen to her soul."
"You forget, Kagome, that there is also a demon's soul trapped within that sphere. You can guard the priestess, and keep it pure, while I keep the demon soul. It wouldn't need to manipulate people anymore, since it would be fine with me."
Kagome sighed, "I don't know. Give me a little while to think about it."
(Well? Short, I know, but what do you want Kagome to do? Take him up on that deal, or try to come up with something else to get out of there? Let me know... besides, if you don't, I might not get any motivation... and have to stop writing.)
