I hadn't realized that I, too, had fallen asleep and it was a bit nerve-racking. I wasn't petrified of Naraku but I wasn't that trusting of him either. I felt him turn on his side and whisper something about me and I reacted to his voice. I opened my eyes slightly watching him through half-lidded eyes and saw that he sat up on the bed groaning as he placed his hands over his ribcage. I immediately shut my eyes and felt his hand on my head. I shivered at his touch and buried my head further into my arms. I felt my heart beat increasing in pace since I thought he was going to suddenly change into his malevolence self and slice my head off.
"Kagome…" He tenderly murmured while running his hands through my black locks. My hair was longer now, bizarre at the fast growth but I don't complain.
I rose my head and my eyes met up with his. His smile was mild and it made me smile right back at him. I looked at him sleepily pretending to still be into my sweet slumber.
His hand ran down my cheek and cup around my chin. I wanted to turn away but his grip was too forceful.
"Naraku, what are you--"
He hushed me and I'm guessing that he wanted to cherish this moment or something since he just kept staring deeply into my eyes and smiling that peculiar smile that I never thought I would ever see on his face.
When I felt his grip loosen I took the chance to stand up and question him the so many questions I wanted to ask him.
"Are you going to tell me now? I mean, about Kouga and about why you are here."
He didn't seem to want to talk about it but I guess he gave in to my pleading look.
"You see, Kagome…," he took a deep breath closing his eyes and locking his arms over his chest, " I know that it is very odd to have me here in your company being as the first time we met you knew nothing of our existence." I nodded giving him my full attention. "Well, hope you realize that when you first saw me I wasn't myself. I was being controlled by Ayame."
"But, controlled? I don't understand. What does this have to do with Kouga?" I asked impatiently.
"I am not finished. As I said, I was being controlled by Ayame and well I had nothing else to do but give in and follow orders, that is, until I bit you. From out last visit, as you can tell, Ayame wasn't that vastly pleased with the results of your transformation. I am not quite sure myself what went wrong but I am glad that it didn't cause you severe damage."
I sat down beside him and he immediately placed his hand on mine. He squeezed as if hoping I could handle what he was telling.
"On those days that I spent time with you I wouldn't change it for the world. That was the time when I had the chance to know you and you're just as sweet as your appearance makes it seem."
That comment did nothing but made heat rush to my face and he smirked at the very thought of being able to make me blush.
"So, whether you don't feel the same way, I began to develop these deep feelings for you. Somehow that broke whatever spell Ayame had on me. Hence, that was why I seemed more like normal self on the last visit. I wasn't being controlled by her any longer because you were too strong for her to control. Her power over me vanished and she then had total restrain on you. And that was when I decided to execute her thinking I was stronger than she was. As you can see, I wasn't. I had nowhere to go so I came to you hoping you wouldn't kill me before giving you my explanation."
This was too much for me. None of this was Kouga related but I felt pity over him. He had just declared feelings for me and I have nothing to say but ask for Kouga.
His hold on my hand tighten and he brought it closer to himself.
"But why you? I mean, why, out of all the people in the world, why did she choose to have power over you?" I questioned him as I tried to slide bit by bit away from him thinking he was going to do something foolish like kiss me again.
He smirked that famous smirk of his that I actually began to like.
"Well, it goes way back. It's not important as to what is happening now."
I couldn't contain my curiosity, "So, you were born a wolf? That means you're old, right? Or maybe even ancient."
He laughed but answered, "Not entirely. I am a bit old, you could say I'm too old for you. But I wasn't naturally a born wolf. I was human once and I was turned into this. I guess this is a curse since immortality isn't all that great when you're alone and being controlled by a bitch. But I choose to count it as my greatest strength. Just like your trying to do."
I nodded slowly and he placed his hand on my shoulder.
"Any more questions? But I'm not really in the mood to answer any Kouga questions at the time, hope you understand. I have nothing against him but I would rather not talk about him, at the moment. I'll tell you whatever you want to know, when the time is right."
He sounded just like my mother when she was going to give me her explanation on sex. The time never seemed right whenever I wanted to know something. But I choose to respect his decision and helped him out of bed.
"No questions then."

Naraku spent the next few days with me. I wasn't sure how he handled me when I was in my wolf state. His wounds had heeled pretty quick so he wasn't too weak to hold me when I wanted to strike him.
He explained everything that I did in detail and I didn't believe that what he was telling me was really me. I was terrified of myself but he informed that everything will be allright.
It had been almost a week and he never went into the Kouga issue. I just stopped asking since I knew it was disturbing for him to talk about him knowing what Kouga has done to me. I was starting to loose hope and assuming that what Naraku was trying to tell me was that Kouga moved on. That he moved on with Ayame.
"Naraku, I just want to know. Please. I'm begging you. I want to know how Kouga is doing."
He shook his head and said that I shouldn't worry so much about that heartless bastard. He said things happen for a reason and when something happen it's because it's meant to be.
I wasn't sure what he meant by that, but I agreed.
The only thing that convinced me that Kouga didn't love Ayame was that if it seemed like he did, it was probably because Ayame was controlling him. She tends to do that a lot.

Just unexpectedly, Sango, came to see me. She wasn't alone though; she was accompanied by a cute guy with the name Miroku. I was nervous to have her come over since I had Naraku here and wasn't sure what I would tell her. What can you say when you have a guy who barely covers up in your house?
"Sango, what are you doing here?"
"I just came to check up on you. You haven't gone to work for so long. Not that I didn't notice but I just thought you needed your space."
I welcomed her in when I sensed that Naraku hid himself.
"Oh and this is Miroku. He's a friend of mine. Miroku this is my very weird friend Kagome."
I laughed nervously since she had no idea how weird I had become the last couple of days.
They didn't stay long and that Miroku person didn't say much. I watched as he took small glimpse around the house, like if he was looking for something or more like someone. I was pretty sure that they didn't know about Naraku so there was nothing I should be worried about.
"Looking for something Miroku?"
His glance quickly went to me and he simply shook his head and excused himself asking if he could use the restroom. I would have said no but I couldn't make them suspicious of me. I was acting strange as it is given that I haven't transformed into my other self. I was just eager to shoo them away before I did.
"Sorry I couldn't stay long Kagome, but I'm pleased to see that you are okay."
I sighed heavily relieved that she left. I stayed near the door, my forehead against it as I thought of what I was going to do with her. What if she unexpectedly arrived again and I was too busy growling to answer the door?
Just then a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist. Naraku held me firmly against his chest and I turned around in his arms confusingly looking up at him. I never could answer myself of why I always let him do what he did. Perhaps it was because I missed being held by someone as well as being kissed by someone.
This was the third time since his arrival that he kissed me except I gave into temptation this time and I kissed him just as deeply. When we pulled away he told me he loved me and I was taken by surprise by that.
"I shouldn't have said that. Sorry."
I told him it was allright even though it wasn't. He felt bad for what he did and I couldn't help myself feeling sorry for him so I kissed him this time. I'm presuming since I started the kiss that I was the one who chooses if we went any further and surprise was that we did.
His hands ran under my shirt slowly softly feeling every inch of my back, my stomach and my breasts. His hands were either huge or my breasts were to undersized . Either way that didn't change the pleasure that coursed through me when he caressed me. He was giving me everything that I ever wanted Kouga to give me. It felt wrong but I wasn't sure if something wrong can feel so right.

A/N: Like? Okay, the next chapter won't be until three days from now. As I've said before, I got parties to attend as well as birthday ones. Congratulations to those who have graduated and have fun to those who are attending parties as well. Have fun but not too much. Lol.
Gomen if it wasn't long but I thought it was a reasonable stop.
Okay. Not sure if you all want it or not but I could continue what Naraku and Kagome are doing in the next chapter meaning a lemon, or I could have Kagome refuse. Either way. You choose and I write.
Squirrel person, thank so much for the long review. Love you so much. . Well thanks for recommending the book, I think I'm going to read it, that is if I ever find it. Besides that it is a book including werewolves it has some explicit scenes, am I correct? Just like so many out there I love sexual scenes, they're always interesting to read, don't you all agree?
I've read a book as well that includes wolves, elves, maiges and just a bunch of magical stuff. It's called NeverNever. I recommend it to all.
I hadn't notice that I didn't thank the people whom reviewed Ch.7. Sorry.
