Evil Temptations

Chapter Seven

Fun and Games -=grins=-

How did this ever happen? Naraku thought to himself. He knew that when he had left InuYasha hadn't followed him, since the hanyou knew that he needed his privacy, which he was glad for. He needed some time to sort his thoughts. If it were possible to begin with. No matter how long or hard he thought about it he still couldn't figure how or why he'd fallen in love with InuYasha. He didn't even know when it had happened in the first place. The next thing he knew he really cared and actually loved him. All he knew was that when he had taken the silver-haired youkai under his care he had slowly been falling for him.

Heh... well, I know why Kikkyou and the young miko... Kagome, both fell in love with him. He laughed dryly at himself. If someone were to tell him that he was going to fall in love with InuYasha only a week ago he could have died of disbelief, and possibly laughter.

I guess I never trully gave him a chance. I was always jealous of him because he had Kikkyou's love. Or maybe... He gasped in realization. Maybe it never was Kikkyou I was in love with, but InuYasha. And I used her to cover it up. He thought about it and shook his head. No! That cannot be it.. could it? Naraku sighed deeply, his thoughts getting him no where. I could I should get back to InuYasha, the one who's always on my thoughts and will not leave...



InuYasha was starting to wonder. Yes, he had given Naraku time on his own purposely but he didn't think he'd take this long. Should I actually follow? I do not wish to disturb him, though.

The inu youkai let some time pass. Just when he was about to get up and look for the black-haired man he came wandering in.

"Hey, no walking around for a while. That last battle didn't help your injury any." Naraku said, lovingly. He only wanted the hanyou to recover and by getting up it would only make matters worse. Both of them knew this to be true.

"Gomen Nasai. I was just starting to get worried is all. Speaking of which, how are you doing?" /I'm sorry/ InuYasha asked looking up at the man. He knew that something was bothering him by how he was acting. The silver-haired youkai tried to sit up, feeling weak in the position he was in. As if he weren't in the position enough before.

"What did I tell you? Do not get up." He sat down and set some water next to him that he had brought along to make it seem like he had been doing something. Although, he doubted he had fooled the youkai in front of him. "You can drink this later. For now you should just rest."

Naraku leaned forward and kissed InuYasha lightly, but lovingly.

The hanyou grabbed Naraku's by his shoulders and pulled him down ontop of him, wanting more of the man that he rarely got to taste.

Naraku, who was shocked at first, quickly moved to get more comfortable. Instead of leaning over from the side he moved his legs; knocking over the water, and not noticing it. He now had his knees on either side of InuYasha, his hands playing along his skin and with his hair earning a moan from the inu youkai every now and then.

After a few minutes Narku rolled off of InuYasha and next to him. Lifting up the covers he snuggled next to the hanyou.

Breathing heavily, they looked at each other. With one last kiss they wordlessly decided that they would rest. InuYasha cuddled up to Naraku's side and fell asleep with an arm resting on his lover's chest.

"Oyasuminasai, koi." Naraku whispered to the already fast asleep youkai. He sighed contently and closed his eyes. All thoughts about how he fell for InuYasha never crossing his mind.

Once Sango and Kagome returned from their bathing, Miroku and Shippou had started up the fire, seeing that it was now dark.

Whatever they talked about must have really helped. Miroku thought about Kagome. Her attitude had changed drastically. She was now a lot more cheerful and talked with everyone else. Where as before she avoided the conversations; thinking about too many things. It seemed that she was no longer dwelling on the thought of InuYasha not being able to remember them. Now she was thinking that they'd be able to get him back and go from there.

"Kagome," Shippou said cheerfully and jumped into the young miko's lap. They had all been sitting around the fire talking for a while. "how are you feeling now?"

Miroku and Sango looked up at the small kitsune quickly, thinking that asking that could bring Kagome's mood down again. To their great relief Kagome just smiled and said, "A lot better now. Thanks, Shippou." She looked over at the youkai slayer. "You too, Sango."

"Of course. None of us like seeing you so depressed so I had to help." Sango said, speaking for everyone. She knew that everyone really felt that way so there was no harm in saying that. They all hoped they'd never have to see her in that type of modd ever again, too. They didn't know how she'd reaact to seeing the hanyou again, though. That thinking was for later, however.

"Well, I think we should all get some rest and resume our search in the morning." Miroku stated, standing up to go to his sleeping spot.. away from the girls, of course.

The others nodded and also went to their own spots. They left the fire going so if a youkai were to attack they'd be able to see. The youkai would first have to get through Kirara's defenses though.

Kagome slipped under her sleeping bag and Shippou joined her, like every other night.

"Night everyone." Kagome called out. The others all responded back.

In a way Kagome was looking forward for the morning but in another she dreaded it. Either they would find InuYasha or not. And if they did, would they even be able to convince him that they were his friends?

The miko sighed deeply. Tomorrow is going tobe one interesting day. A tear slipped down her cheek as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Shippou looked up at Kagome's face when he heard her sigh and saw the tear. He decided it was best just to ignore it and get some sleep. It looked like Kagome was doing so anyway.

The small kitsune closed his eyes and slowly drifted of to sleep.

Miroku, who was fairly close to Sango whispered, "Nice job. Looks like whatever you said helped cheer her up."

The youkai slayer smiled at the monk. "Thanks, but she just needed to relax. I barely said anything."

"But you did. And you're the one that suggested to bathe, am I wrong?" Miroku asked, looking up at the stars that were now shinning through the leaves of the tree they were under.

"I guess not." Sango stood up and slowly walked over to Miroku, who oblivious to her moves.

She sat down and leaned against him. "You know, you can be a sweet guy when you're not being so lecherous. You should really try it more often."

Miroku was shocked by Sango's actions and it took him a while to respond. "Maybe I will." Was his short reply. Must resist all tempation. He thought, restraining himself from an easy grope.

The monk went to lean back so as to lie down, not realizing that Sango wasn't paying attention. She lost her balance and fell ontop of him, but made no moves to get up. She blushed the color of InuYasha's haori and quickly picked herself up. Miroku grabbed her hand and pulled her back onto him. He brought his other arm around her, embracing her lovingly. He decided against a kiss, thinking it'd be better not to.... for the moment at least.

At first Sango wasn't too happy with the monk for just pulling her onto him, but she relaxed into the embrace. She found it comfortable. The youkai did have to move first since her legs were in an awkward position from trying to get up, however, she didn't move from Miroku. She put her head on his chest and closed her eyes, lulled asleep by the soothing motions of Miroku running his fingers through her hair.

Kagome was the first to wake, along with Shippou, and saw how Miroku and Sango had fallen asleep.

Miroku stil had his arms wrapped around her, but now Sango's legs were tangled within the monks.

About time. Kagome thought about the two, figuring they must have finally let their true feelings for one another to show. The miko really was happy for the two, however, seeing them reminded her of her own relationship problems with InuYasha.. well, it was more than just relationship problems now.

Shippou saw the two and was going to say something about it when he looked up and saw Kagome's sad expression. He decided against it.

Sighing deeply, Kagome started to get breakfast reading, with Shippou helping at whatever he could. She let Miroku and Sango sleep longer. Probably took them a whie to fall asleep, too. The high school girl thought with a grin.

Once the breakfast was done the two finally awoke. Both ate silently with a blush, Sango's more apparent than Miroku's. They had never intended to let the other two see. They hadn't even known they were both going to fall asleep like that in the first place.

Kagome smiled. "Did you guys have fun last night?"

This caused Sango's blush to darken. "We... we did nothing."

The young miko and kitsune burst out laughing at the youkai slayer's expression and embarrassment.

Miroku just stayed quiet, eating his ramen, knowing that whatever he said was going to earn a slap.

Seeing the monk sit there somehow reminded her of InuYasha. What doesn't? She immediately became serious. "We need to find InuYasha now."

They all stopped messing around and became as serious as the miko.

"Un, we shall pick-up and leave." /Yeah/ Miroku said in an authoritative voice. No one argued and they started gathering things.

When everything was together and the fire was put out they continued in the same direction they had been traveling before. Sango and Miroku now walking closely together. Shippou was sitting on Kagome's shoulder, talking with her.

Hours later, close to nightfall, they came upon a castle.

"There is an evil aura surrounding this place." Miroku stated, clenching his fist. "This must be it."
