Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha... there ya happy?

Warnings: There will be shounen-ai, InuYasha/Naraku in later chapts. I don't think there is any other warnings.....

Okay, so this is my..... 5th fic and I hope it gets responses as well. Hopefully it'll be good. I dunno how well this chapt turned out but plz give it a chance. :) Ummm... well, I guess that's it for now. Plz let me know how you like it. Oh, and I'm sry if some of the things that InuYasha does/thinks is wrong for a person that lost their memories to do. I've never lost all my memories and I don't know anyone that has so I don't know exactly how someone would respond and/or act from then on. Just thought I'd mention that and I hope that it actually made sense.

Sry 'bout all the grammer and/or spelling mistakes.

Evil Temptations

Chapter One

Beginnings

InuYasha was by himself for the first time in so long. He never would have guessed but he felt kind of lonely with no one around to mess with. Not that he'd ever admit it, of course.

Kagome had gone back to her own time saying she had an "important exam coming up" or something like that and needed to study for it. She also said that she needed to pick up more supplies since they were running low.

Sango had gone home as well to fix her weapons that had broke in a recent battle against a strong youkai. Miroku had tagged along, insisting that something bad could happen to her so he needed to protect her. Shippo followed saying that he had to protect Sango from the lecherous monk.

InuYasha decided to stay behind for his own reasons. He thought that he was tired of having a bunch of humans following him around. What he hadn't expected was that he really did like having them around and it was pretty boring without them. They were all going to be gone for three to four days. He could hold out until then. There certainly was no way he'd be going to find them. What would he say? He was lonely without them? Not in his life-time.

The inu youkai needed some excitement so decided to hunt some youkai, with luck maybe he could find some shards of the Shikon no Tama. He had been sitting by the well that Kagome used to go back to her own time so he just ran into the forest nearby. Figuring it'd be as good of a place as any. He ran through the forest on the branches, using both his feet and hands. Occasionally the light of the sun would shine through some of the leaves onto him. He didn't notice it though, since he was so intent on finding a good fight.

After hours of searching and mysteriously finding no youkai he abandoned his quest and found a comfortable tree to sleep in, seeing that it was now dark.

InuYasha quickly awoke when he felt the tree that he was sleeping in shake. He jumped out of it when he felt it shake again and almost lost his balance. "What the hell is going on?" He muttered under his breath not appreciating being woken that way.

The silver-haired youkai felt the ground shake again. He went to a clearing not far from him, hoping to maybe see what was causing the whole ground to shake. A few minutes later he finally found out what it was: a giant youkai that was walking; sometimes smashing trees along the way. It was taller than the trees. It looked like a human crossed with a wolf. It had arms and legs like a human's but had black fur with streaks of silver covering its body. It had sharp claws and a long furry tail.

InuYasha was about to go after it for a fight when his conversation with Kagome forced itself to resurface now that he was about to enter the fight.

"You always go looking for trouble. Just for once please don't do anything to put yourself in danger."

InuYasha just turned his head and crossed his arms, not saying anything.

"InuYasha, please promise me you won't." Kagome begged, concerned for the youkai's life.

"Feh."

"Promise." She said again, her eyes filling with tears.

"Gah, don't cry. Alright, alright, I promise."

Kagome smiled triumphantly and hugged him.

"What are you doing?!"

InuYasha backed off, going to a different tree that was out of the youkai's way. Kuso! That would have been a great fight! He thought, regretting ever making the promise that he was forced into. Why can't I ignore it when she cries? It gets me everytime...

He closed his eyes; drowning out the sounds from the youkai's heavy footsteps and the shaking, he drifted off to sleep again.

InuYasha was rudely woken again by the huge youkai that he had seen before. It was really close now and there was no chance of escaping without a fight, not that he really wanted to anyway. He couldn't keep the promise that he made to Kagome even if he tried. Can't say it's my fault. He thought, jumping down from the tree and waiting for the youkai that would soon arrive. In fact it came only minutes after InuYasha had landed.

The huge youkai swung at him without warning but InuYasha easily dodged the slow swing. He hit the youkai, causing it to stumble back for only a second before regaining its senses. Its tail came at InuYasha while he was still in the air after he had delivered the blow to its head. The attack was quick and unexpected; he had no chance of dodging it.

The black, furry tail slammed into him, causing him to gasp for air. It threw him into a tree. He tried to catch his breath while standing up. There was no way he'd let the youkai take him out, let alone in on shot!

InuYasha managed to stay his ground and pulled out his tetsusaiga. It quickly turned from the rusty, old sword to the shinny, strong one he had used many times before. He gripped it firmly in his hands waiting for the youkai to attack. It came soon enough and InuYasha cut its hand, only a minor wound for the huge youkai. It brought its other hand to attack the silver-haired youkai and landed the hit. Its claws sank into InuYasha's arm, causing his sword to fall from his grasp. Before he could even prepare himself for the next attack, the youkai's other hand hit his head hard, making him fly into another tree; far from the tall youkai. His body crumpled and fell limp before he could even think anything.

Believing InuYasha to be dead the wolf-like youkai went one its way, thinking his mission was complete.
Someone was walking in the forest when they came upon InuYasha's still form.

"What do we have here?" The person said, going up to the inu youkai.

They saw the large gash on his arm and another one on the side of InuYasha's head, both of which still heavily bleeding.

"You look like you could use some help." He said to the unconscious figure. "I guess I can help." The figure whispered, smirking. He bent down and picked InuYasha up.
InuYasha awoke with a splitting headache and moaned against the pain, not only from the headache but his arm as well.

He found he was lying on a futon and not on the ground that he had been when he first fell unconscious. His head was bound and his arm had a splint so it wouldn't move while he slept, causing it more damage. The youkai looked around and found himself in strange surroundings. There were no windows in the room, only one shouji that lead to another room of the house.

"Where am I?" He whispered hoarsely, noting how thirsty he was.

"You are in my house." A male's voice answered. "I found you in the forest wounded and helped you."

InuYasha looked over at the man, slightly startled. He couldn't help but think that the man looked familiar but he couldn't place it. Wait a minute! His mind stopped his other thoughts as a different, more frightening one entered his mind. "What was I doing in the forest?" He found he couldn't remember anything - except his name, InuYasha. That was little comfort for him.

"What do you mean? How would I know what you were doing? Shouldn't you?" The man was confused. Did he lose all his memories? He thought, inwardly smirking.

"I... I don't remember. I know... my name." InuYasha struggled to remember anything besides that.

"Oh, and what is that?" He asked, though he already knew.

"InuYasha." Why do I feel like I shouldn't trust this guy? He had a bad feeling about him. "What's yours?" He thought that maybe his name would trigger a memory or something that would confirm his suspicions.

The dark-haired man thought a moment before responding, deciding whether or not to give his real name. "Naraku." He finally answered, thinking that there would be no point in lying. InuYasha obviously didn't recognize him. If he did he would have instantely attacked. He'd risk it.

Once the name was spoken something inside InuYasha's mind told him to run, hide - do anything to get away from him. His body being too weak to move prevented him from obeying his instinct. Besides, he couldn't remember anything so why should he run? He didn't know this man. Or did he? The inu youkai had no idea; it was frustrating. He sighed, giving up the internal struggle and decided to see how the man treated him and others, if there was anyone else around.

This could work to my advantage. Naraku thought, evilly. "Would you like something to eat and drink?" He offered politely, feigning friendliness.

InuYasha hadn't noticed how hungry he really felt; he had noticed how thirsty he was a while ago but had forgotten about it when he found out he couldn't remember anything - besides his name. iLittle help that is./i He thought dryly. The youkai nodded to the dark-haired man with crimson eyes, that InuYasha thought held more menance than helpfulness. However, whenever he thought he saw it Naraku quickly put on a mask that showed nothing so that youkai wasn't sure if he had really seen it or not.

"I shall return shortly." Naraku said, leaving.

Now that InuYasha was left alone with his thoughts he tried to remember what he was doing in the forest, who this... Naraku person was and why he felt a cold shiver run down his spine whenever he spoke.

He closed his eyes while thinking and fell asleep with no answers. Thinking really didn't help his ever-growing headache either.

Naraku returned soon after InuYasha had fallen asleep. He set the tray of food down next to the sleeping form and just stared at him for a while. He quietly chuckled so as not to wake the youkai. This will be fun. He thought, with different scenarios running through his mind of what he could do to the poor youkai with no memories. He laughed evilly and stood up to leave, with the tray behind for if InuYasha woke soon. With one last look at the sleeping form he left.
-=shudders=- I wouldn't want Naraku watching me while I slept. Well, I definitely wouldn't even wanna be in his house. Yeesh... I do like his voice though.. on the TV version. I haven't seen the subbed version yet, unfortunately.

Well, what did everyone think of it? Once again sry if InuYasha acted differently than he should. Oh, and does anyone want me to have the japanese translations later? I know there are none at the moment but I'm fairly certain there will be some later.

Plz R&R!!!
