Night of the Wolf
11. Some truth is out

They kept chattering continuously about me and the only ghastly thing about it was that I couldn't say zilch against it. In the end, they managed to calm me down but their hold on me wasn't liberated. What really pissed me off for the most part was that, as much I wanted to, I couldn't speak. I was an extremely curious person who loved asking the various questions that keep coming to mind and I seriously wanted to know what Miroku and Sango were doing here and how in hell they knew Naraku. And the only way I was to ask them was if I discovered how to form myself back to human, which obviously wasn't going to be right now.
"She seems to have calmed down now. We should take her to my place seeing as Ayame would never consider looking for her there." Miroku babbled on and Sango rolled her eyes snapping her jaw at him.
"Okay. So she would have a clue, but there isn't any other place to go. Unless Raku-Chan knows a place." Naraku elbowed Miroku's chin when he called him by his nickname. I'm taking a wild guess here but my supposition is that these three have known each other for some time now and here I thought I was the one who knew more than the four of us put together.
"We should all go somewhere unexpected since--" Sango began but was cut in mid sentence by Naraku.
"Yeah, let's move. I know a place."

Since I couldn't object I just went along. Naraku carried me over his shoulder and after an hour he embraced me in his arms. Since I had nothing to say I had no other option but to sleep.
I was still half asleep when we reached out 'hide out' but I was aware of what was going on.
We had arrived at Sesshoumaru's place, a friend of Naraku's. He welcomed up is understanding our situation and even cooked us dinner. Well, he didn't exactly cook us dinner but one, of the many women living with him, did.
After dinner we freely roamed around the house. Naraku followed Sesshoumaru into a library to have a talk, probably about me, while Miroku and Sango were given clothes. I choose to stay in the living room since it was the first room I spotted and it looked cozy. I had laid on the leather couch but it wasn't as comfortable as I thought it would be so I settled near the fireplace. My feet along with my paws were warmly tucked under my body and my head laid contentedly on the carpet floor.
I was trying to fall asleep hoping that'll erase my earlier stumble with Kouga but with every squeak of a door opening or footstep creak on the floor my ears would instantly charge up. I found it useless to sleep to I decided to loose myself in the house and hopefully bump into someone.
I nosed into every room thinking I would find something amazing seeing as this is a house of yet another wolf home. Not much of a difference from a normal home. There were pictures on the wall, flowers on tables, a library, a kitchen and so forth.
When I finally caught scent of that Miroku person and Sango I barged into the room unnoticed and saw that they were 'ahem' busy. I wasn't sure what was the point of them receiving new garments if they were only going to remove them again. And just for the heck of it I barked startling a half naked Sango and a groaning Miroku.
"Kagome?! Ever heard of knocking?"
I couldn't help but laugh in the inside and cock my head to one side gesturing to her that I wasn't that sane at the moment. Miroku, on the other hand, was happily straddled on the bed and he did nothing but wave at me. I waved my paw in the air, to the best of my ability, signifying to them to carry on and hope I wasn't much of a burden.
On my way out of the room the door immediately shut behind me with a shrill noise meaning it was locked now. I sneezed for a second time and knew that that was signal that meant someone was definitely talking about me.
Naraku and Sesshoumaru, who else.
A sweet young-looking girl by the name of Rin showed me to my bedroom. She asked me a bunch of yes and no questions since that was all I could say, or more like do, that'll make people understand what I was saying. I only requested her to not let anybody in my room, even Naraku. On this time, ever since the incident in my apartment, I didn't want to be near Naraku and I knew perfectly well that he couldn't use the excuse that he was feeling lonely since we were at his friend's home.
My ears twitched at the sound of nearby whispers and I peeked out of my door and heard it was coming from the living room. My door wasn't closed given that I couldn't open it in case I wanted out of my room, so Rin was nice enough to close it but not entirely.
I was glad that Raku, as Miroku called Naraku, and Sessy, as Rin called Sesshoumaru, were too busy to notice me.
"So she'll probably stay in this form if she doesn't find a way to shift back?" Sessy questioned and Naraku nodded.
"I know there is a way but I'm not quite sure if there is a time limit to it. Ayame was suppose to turn her into a wolf with my first bite but it was strange that she turned half every given day until today's full moon, that is," Raku informed.
"I see, but you seem worried by this. I mean, she's stronger that was perceived to be. Every thing that Ayame wanted to happen didn't, but more like the opposite. And if I'm correct with my supposition then once Kagome finds the point of her true power then can she release herself from whatever spell she is on." Sessy replied as he gestured for Rin to feed the fire some more wood.
"Sure, but--" Naraku began but Sesshoumaru cut in, "I know, I know Raku. The only spell on her is the one of her remaining as a wolf forever. As for the wolf inside her that's going to stay. It courses through her blood and you say that she has experienced human blood as well as yours and Kouga's. She is surely one of us, not a true wolf but she's only this because of you or more like because of Ayame's jealousy of her relationship with Kouga. The girl is beautiful, I give you that but you have to understand that she loves Kouga and not you."
Sesshoumaru gave his drink a small twirl before drinking it and nodded to Naraku confirming his reply. Naraku didn't like any word that flew out of Sesshoumaru's mouth but he knew he was right.
They went on repeating the exact thing since Naraku was too stubborn to listen to Sesshoumaru but not me. I was all ears whenever he spoke since he kept saying positive things about my condition.
He alleged, "Naraku, listen to me. You have to tell her. I would, but it would be more like gossip hearing it from me rather than you."
"Sessy, no. I can't tell her. What exactly am I supposed to tell her? I mean I'm the one having trouble here as well, you know. I was controlled by that Ayame and none of you bastards tried to free me from her."
"Naraku, we all knew you would soon figure out how to escape her clutches. You're here now, so don't be such a bitch about it. And besides I was on vacation."
"Everything's just about no worries with you, isn't it?"
"It sure is and you should try it sometime instead of having all these worries on you."
I gasped when I saw that Rin had spotted me but I gave her a pleading look and she gave in and pretended as if she never saw me. She went off to the kitchen and I laid beside the wall near the foot of the stairs while these two continued their intriguing conversation about me.
"Look, Sessy, what am I suppose to tell her?"
Sesshoumaru did nothing but shrug and close his eyes while he took another sip of his wine.
"So you want me to march up to her bedroom and just spill everything?"
"That's the idea."
"So I'm going to just lay it all out. 'Oh Kagome, in all these days that we've been together did I ever forget to mention that the only reason I was being manipulated by Ayame was because she thought that I wasn't going to through with my end of the bargain," he was nervous as he spoke but continued as Sesshoumaru kept his eyes on him and simply nodded, "yeah, we made a deal. She was to let me live if and only if I made you mine. Once mine you're bond with Kouga would break and she would freely be able to mate with Kouga."
I was in total shock. That self centered jerk lied to me about his feelings. He told me he loved me only to sleep with me. And here I was feeling sorry for the bastard. I thought, I thought that-- My bond with Kouga? What bond? When did we…
"Sessy I can't. Kagome is too fragile to handle this kind of lie. You're not the one who hears her at night pouring her heart out for Kouga and only because she thinks that he doesn't give a damn about her. That idiot loves her like crazy and he's sacrificing his life to keep her safe but more like trying since her becoming a wolf wasn't suppose to happen according to him."
He had stood up from the couch pacing back and forth as he said all of this and once he took a seat I thought he was going to end his explanation so I thought that this was a good time for me to enter the room. But then he carried on and I froze in place.
"Well, Raku aren't you in deep shit."
"Tell me about it. Everything's screwed."
I decided I would rather sleep on this than ask Naraku for an explanation since I couldn't speak and I was still on all fours.

-Kianna Chan-
A/N: - So sorry I took long to update. It was what? -counts- four days without updating? Again sorry. A lot was said in this chapter hope it was worth the four day wait.
Lots of you were a bit confused by the whole Naraku/ Kagome/ Kouga thing. But as I've said before this is a Kouga/ Kagome fic. I know a lot of you prefer Naraku/ Kagome but the story isn't planned that way.
I noticed, also, that I have every Inu character in the story except for InuYasha, Kikyo and Shippou. Well I did have planned to have Kikyo appear but I still don't know how bring her into the story along with InuYasha since they are officially together. My guess is that if I do include her in then the story would be longer than anticipated. You all don't mind the story being longer, right? Yeah, I know it's only been 11 Chapters but I still got a long way to go.
Any suggestions, don't be scared to tell, I'll listen.
Well thanks for listening and again sorry for long wait.
