Okay.. well, apparently my comp doesn't like it when I click "All Programs." This is a diff comp than the one I was usin' before... --shakes head-- Comps just don't like me anymore (did they ever?).. ;-; --sighs-- Ah well, guess I'll just have to make sure I don't click on that.. that seems to be the only time it actually glitches up. At least I wasn't too far with the typing... on the fourth page I think...

Evil Temptations
Chapter Thirteen
Human Emotions
After Naraku and InuYasha separated they decided to get something to eat. Both had actually forgotten to eat since they had gone to see Kagome and the others. This time Naraku ate with the now human InuYasha. It was the first time this had happened. Usually Naraku ate by himself, seeing as how he also got up before him.
The two ate in silence, once again trying to think of something they could do about the problem concerning Kagome and the others.
Then InuYasha had an idea. He wasn't sure if Naraku would actually go through with it, though. Maybe it can work... He thought about it more for a moment. Well, it's worth a try.
"Naraku." The hanyou started off, not sure exactly about how he was going to ask his lover. He had said he'd do anything, but he wasn't so sure about this.
"What is it?" Naraku could tell InuYasha was unsure about what he was going to say, and he wondered what he could possibly be thinking. Did he come up with a plan? If so, why was he so hesitant about it?
"Are you planning on doing anything with the Shikon no Tama?" The hanyou finally asked. The last time he saw what Naraku had of the jewel it had been nearly complete. Only a few pieces had been missing, the ones that Kagome now had and possibly a few more.
Naraku thought the question was quite random, but thought about it anyway. Why did he need the jewel anymore? He was going to use it to get stronger, however, there was no longer any point. He had wanted to kill InuYasha with everything he was. Now, he couldn't even imagine himself even hurting the hanyou.
"Well, now that I think about it.. I have no idea what I am going to do with it." The black-haired man said slowly, thinking as he was talking.
InuYasha took that as a good thing. Maybe he really will then. I mean, if he isn't doing anything with it, what's the point in having it?
"Doushite?" /why?/ His lover still hadn't given him a reason to the question so he asked himself.
"I... Would you consider giving the jewel to Kagome?" He paused, seeing what Naraku's reaction would be. The man seemed more shocked about the prospect then anything. He continued on, "If you do give it to her, then I can go with them for the other shards, which would probably take no more than a few weeks." The hanyou stopped again, but this time he had given all the information of his plan to his lover.
"Forgive me if that was a foolish idea...." InuYasha quietly said after a few more minutes of silence passed. It did look as if Naraku was contemplating about the idea, though. A better reaction then he thought he would receive - a lot better. He couldn't complain about it.
There was a knock on the wood by the shouji. "May I take your trays, Naraku-sama?" Kagura asked, finally listening to her master's wish.
Naraku snapped out of his thoughts. "Y-yes. We are finished." He was kind of grateful for the distraction, however short it may be. "I shall hand it to you in a moment." He had to think of all possible uses of the Shikon no Tama and decide it was better than giving it up. It would be a great relief to have InuYasha truly happy, though....
The wind sorceress heard the stutter in Naraku's voice and wondered what the two were talking about to get that type of response from him. She wasn't sure if she had ever heard the uncertainty in his voice that she just had. She shrugged it off, it was better not to ask.
Naraku came to the shouji and handed the two trays to Kagura, both of which had little food left. Then she turned around and left the two alone again.
"Well?" InuYasha asked his lover once he sat down. He wanted to know what Naraku's decision was and wouldn't leave him alone until he received some type of response.
"You do not have to answer right now. You can think about it more if you wish." The hanyou told his lover after more silence.
Naraku nodded. I suppose I can give it to that miko. He thought, still thinking it wasn't that good of an idea though. It could ruin everything for the two. What would she do with the jewel? Would she make her own wish on it? One that would seperate us? The plan could backfire.
Naraku decided that he should voice his concern to InuYasha. "What would the miko do with the jewel if I gave it to her?"
The human InuYasha froze. He hadn't thought of that. He was fairly sure Kagome wouldn't do anything that would be considered wrong with it. He knew her to be honest. "I am sure nothing bad will come out of it."
Even if this was meant to be reassuring, Naraku could easily hear the uncertainty in his lover's voice, almost as if he were trying to convince himself more than Naraku.
"Sorry, koi, but I wish not to give up the jewel if you are not sure about what the miko would do with it." The crimson-eyed man hated to bring down InuYasha's mood, however, he didn't want something so simple to destroy their relationship, especially if he could prevent it.
There was more silence. I have to think of something! Some way to assure Naraku that Kagome with do nothing bad with it. I'm sure she wouldn't. Even he could hear the doubt in his own thoughts.
InuYasha sighed deeply. Wait... "Let me go talk to her."
"But it always ends up hurting you. I wish that not to happen again." Naraku said, sadness evident in his voice and body language.
"I know," InuYasha whispered, "but I have to." He paused. "I also think that it is a bad idea for you to come along this time. That seems to make matters worse. Although I would be more comfortable with you there, I think it would be better if you didn't."
Naraku knew that InuYasha had to do this, but was worried about how it would all turn out. He didn't want it to seem like he was holding the hanyou captive, however. Even if he did wish he could so no harm could befall him.
The black-haired man sighed in defeat. "Very well, but let me at least hide in the shadows."
"I do not think that is wise." If Naraku were to hear something he didn't like from one of his friends - could he call him that anymore? - then he was sure Naraku would do something about it; using force, too.
"Then... have Kagura do it." Naraku said, accepting defeat again. This time, though, he wouldn't. Either the wind sorceress went with his lover or he wouldn't go. He didn't wish to lose him again. He already promised he wouldn't let him go and he meant it!
InuYasha knew he wasn't going to get a better deal than that so nodded. He knew Naraku was only concerned about him. With everything going on recently he couldn't really blame him.
"Kagura." Naraku figured that the hanyou wanted to leave as soon as possible so he called his incarnation.
The wind sorceress was quickly showed up again. She opened the shouji and walked in. Shock was shown on her face when she saw two black-haired men in the room. When she came for the food before she hadn't seen InuYasha. Naraku had handed her the trays and she hadn't even entered the room, not to mention even saw in it. Oh, of course. It is the night of the new moon.
Both Naraku and InuYasha would have laughed at Kagura's look of surprise if the situation hadn't been so serious.
"Go with InuYasha to the miko. Stay with him, but make sure you are hidden well." Naraku commanded his incarnation.
"Hai, Naraku-sama." Kagura said, understanding what she was supposed to do, however, it was strange. Why didn't Naraku just go himself? She brushed it off. No sense in thinking about it. She definitely wouldn't ask either! "Let us leave, then."
InuYasha nodded, nervous about another meeting. He first knelt next to Naraku, who was still sitting where the two had been eating, and kissed him deeply. When they broke apart the two were panting heavily and longed for more. However, they had some self-control and stopped. The hanyou started off towards Kagura. Now ready to leave.. well, more so then he had been before.
Naraku watched his lover leave, with regret, he really shouldn't have allowed him to go. Also, he really didn't want to just sit where he was waiting for his lover to come back, surely with bad news, too. He didn't know why InuYasha was so attached to the humans in the first place. He wouldn't say anything, though. His emotions were also a lot stronger tonight than they usually were, which was probably why he had insisted so much about going to the miko. Naraku could tell without his lover having to even say anything. His reactions were full of a lot more emotion then they had been earlier that day.
Naraku sighed, he'd jus have to deal with it. He would have to for as long as InuYasha was with him, which would hopefully be forever. He could deal with the heightened emotions; probably even have some fun with them. He grinned, he would definitely have to take advantage of that next time he was able.
We are certainly going through a lot of trouble over this. Naraku sighed. And trying so many different things...
A part of him wished that InuYasha had never regained his memories and would be without them forever. However, the other part that loved him knew that InuYasha could never be happy without them and would constantly suffer because of it. He didn't want that. It would definitely solve their problem, though.
InuYasha and Kagura walked to Kagome and the others, instead of flying on the wind sorceress's feather. The hanyou wanted the time to think about what he was doing.
"You never did tell Naraku when I turned human. Why?" This question had been bothering him, Miroku and the others since they first found out that Naraku had no knowledge of it. It had nothing to do with what they were doing now, but it didn't matter. He might as well ask while he could. He would probably never get another chance to. He never talked to Kagura by herself.. never really talked to her at all, now that he thought about it.
"I despise Naraku and do not wish to be under his control." The woman replied, angry.
InuYasha was surprised by the amount of venom he heard in her voice. The statement didn't really answer his question, though. Unless she just meant that she didn't want to help him in any way that she could avoid. That would make sense.
He let the matter drop. It was obvious that Kagura did not wish to speak of it.
They continued walking in silence, both thinking. Kagura about how bad of an idea it was to go to the miko again. For pretty much the same reasons Naraku had. Nothing good ever came from it. InuYasha kept getting hurt, and with him human....
The hanyou just had to know what Kagome would think about the whole thing, though. This could either ruin Naraku and InuYasha's relationship or bind it forever. If it were to ruin it.. well, the black-haired hanyou just wouldn't have Naraku give the jewel to them. Not that he could or even would force his lover to give it up in the first place.
He sighed deeply. He'd just have to confront them again. Not that that wasn't what he was doing already.
"They are up ahead." Kagura suddenly whispered after a while.
"Good. Find a well-hidden spot and stay there." InuYasha commanded nervously, without thinking.
The wind sorceress didn't like taking orders from the hanyou, but it was what Naraku had told her to do after all. She couldn't really complain about it. So she did what he told her.
InuYasha kept walking and found his friends not far ahead . He continued towards them, determined to get his answers.
Hmm.. well, how do ya like how it's goin' now? I think I prob'ly took this in the wrong direction... once again.. --sighs-- Well, I suppose it's not too late, though it... yeah. Just let me know what you all think about it. 'Kay? 'Kay. n.n
This time I only have part of the next chapt written out so I dunno how long it's goin' to take for it to be posted. Shouldn't take too long, though... n.n Before Christmas... lol... Don't worry it'll be long before that... I hope. -.- Heh... heh...
Anywayz... Review Responses
Shoot the Sky - Heh.. I would, but I dunno how much people would actually like that... lol. Then again... I don't really think about that when I write. Whatever appears on the paper is what's goin' to go... I have no control over my fics! Ahhh.. someone could die! Heh.. don't worry no one will... n.n ...I'm fairly sure... lol... nah, don't worry about it...
inuyasha2kagome - o.O Llamas? No! Anything but that!! Ahhhh.. --runs away-- Wait. I have to finish the response.. --runs back-- I know! It is so sad. I mean, you wouldn't imagine either of them crying, especially not Naraku... Oh, and, btw, it would be pointless to raid my fridge... there's nothin' in it... -.-
HomicialChild - Lol.. okay.. well, that explains it then.. n.n Well, at least this chapt wasn't as sappy, right? Yeah, I felt really weird writing it. I don't really like sappiness. Some is alright, but overly. I almost had it be way too much.. -.- Buuut whatcha gonna do? The plot is pretty much the problem Naraku and InuYasha are having making their relationship. Hmmm.. maybe I should fix my writing then.. I mean, it's not good if someone can't tell what the plot is. Nothing against you, of course. Just my own lack of ability to write. o.O Your comp blows up? Uhhh.. that's kinda odd... I'm glad you're still stickin' with my fic, though. It's much appreciated! n.n
Kurama&Karasus Daughter - Nah, it's all good. You didn't jinx me! n.n You made it all better.. --grins-- Lol.. well, I'm glad ya liked the last chapt. Personally, I thought it was a bit too sappy, but it's good to have that every once in a while, right?
MasterFranny - Lol.. love the caps! n.n Don't worry. Losing his memories is not goin' to happen. Just look at how much Naraku doesn't want to do it. There would be no way he would. He wants InuYasha happy. n.n Such a nice Naraku. --patpat-- --Naraku growls and glares-- Uhhh... nice Naraku to InuYasha... -.- Ohhh.. I get it. I dunno what you're talkin' about. I was really scared about the Giant fork! I mean, who wouldn't be... --shifts eyes-- Darn! I was goin' to whip out my flamethrower too... --snaps fingers--
MoroTheWolfGod - n.n Thx! Hope you had fun! n.n And of course you're goin' to receive more. You will until this is completely finished.. n.n I will never leave a story unfinished unless something happens.
Kumori Sakusha formerly Saelbu - Lol.. well, it hasn't yet. But it's not as bad as it was before so, that's good. Thankfully, I'm not on that comp right now, though.. n.n I did? Well, thx! That's what I'm tryin' to go for.. well, kinda. Don't think it's really workin' though. InuYasha's not actin' right.. --shrugs-- So long as everyone enjoys it then it's all good, right? n.n
Slytherin Queen of Zeo - Yayness! I'm relieved! n.n I am glad that you like where this is goin' though. I hope ya still are, too. --nods--
Wow, too much typin' for me! I typed a lot more in the responses than I usually do. Really hyper-like for some weird reason. Maybe I should sleep.. It's 3am, but me no tired.. --shrugs-- I really hope you all are still enjoying this, though. If ya do have any ideas feels free to let me know and I'll think about them, definitely no guarantee about them actually bein' put in the fic, though. 'kay? 'kay. n.n Thx again for all the reviews!!
Heh.. well, kinda got back into Diablo II again.. somehow... -.- So I dunno when the next chapt will be out. Usually I write mostly at my father's (which is where I'm at) but I've been playin'the gamewith my bro. For some reason I get inspiration here and not that much at home. --sighs-- Sry guys!
Plz Review!!
