The Woman Who Loved Naraku

Chapter Three: Romeo and Juliet

Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kiara waited by the well for InuYasha and Kagome to return. InuYasha had told them about Naraku, and they wanted to give Kagome a piece of their mind!

Suddenly, Naraku jumped out of the well. InuYasha followed. InuYasha was pissed. Kagome, grunted as she climbed out of the well as fast as she could.

"Naraku!" shouted Miroku.

Naraku ran into the forest as fast as he could.

"Come back you coward!" shouted InuYasha, but he tripped on a root.

"What's going on?" asked Sango.

"Kagome's annoying friend saw Kagome and Naraku kissing at the mall!"

Suddenly, Kagome was angry.

"So what? InuYasha, you have no right to try to kill boys I like. First Hojo, now Naraku! Stop being so jealous!"

This stopped InuYasha cold.

"Not to mention that but Naraku will probably head home, and probably get his memory back! And what if he turns evil, huh? We'll have the same problem only worse because he can travel through the well! Not to mention he has my powers, and no doubt a plan to kill you, too!"

InuYasha stood in shock.

"And he knows my family! Sometimes, InuYasha, you can be so STUPID!" tears pouring down her face, she ran into Kaede's hut.

With Naraku

As soon as Naraku stepped over the threshold of the castle, memories came flooding back.

"Dammit! You're still alive and you came back! That spell only works once!" cried the strange lady, before vanishing, so Naraku wouldn't kill her.

Naraku sat down as Kagura and Kanna stared at him.

"Leave me alone." He growled.

For two hours his soul battled with itself, good and evil. Finally, one side won the battle.

A Week Or So Later

Naraku looked over his shoulder at a surprised Kagura and Kohoku.

"Go on, shoo. And remember, make sure the boy gets to InuYasha safely." He said. Kagura quickly flew away on her feather, and for once in her life, she stopped thinking of ways to kill Naraku.

Naraku walked towards the forest.

"My lord, let me come with you!" it was Kanna.

"You really want to come?"

"Yes. My place is beside you."

"Thank you."

They walked into the forest, never to be seen or heard for a long time.

By long time, I mean a month.

Everybody heard the news. Naraku had, over the course of a week, stopped all attacks on villages, healed wind tunnels, freed slaves, and undid all undoable evil. This included giving Kagura her heart back, and making sure Kohoku got home safely and uncontrolled. Then he and his most loyal offspring (Kanna) left and vanished for a month, and nobody had seen or heard of them since.

This is a month later.

Kagome was walking towards the well. Suddenly, she felt the presence of a jewel shard. She whipped around.

"Naraku!" she ran forward and gave him a hug. Naraku was sad.

"I came here to give these to you." He said, and handed her a pouch that she could see was full of jewel shards. He had none on him.

"Your jewel shards!" she said as she took them.

"I have no further use for them now." He said, morbidly.

"What's wrong?"

"I have to go soon."

"Why?"

"Because I'm not wanted here. Everybody hates me."

"I don't! And Sango's having second thoughts."

"Kagome, I've done WAY too much evil."

"So what? You're good now."

"I'm also way older than you."

"So is InuYasha, you're technically the same age: 70."

"Tell me how this could possibly work."

"We will MAKE it work! If nobody likes you, then we'll elope to the future."

"If you can figure out a way, then Godspeed." Naraku was smiling now.

"It's a deal then." Said Kagome, smiling as well. They did not notice a young kitsune watching them.

Kagome went to the future, and Shippo ran to InuYasha.

"InuYasha, I have to tell you something important, but first tell me what you think of Naraku now." He said, tentatively.

"I think he's a lying, stealing, murdering bastard, who's burdened by his guilt. I hope he kills himself." Said InuYasha, looking at his fingernails, and Shippo could see he was still smarting from the blow of the Naraku/Kagome incident.

"I'm not sure. I hate him for what he's done but he seems to have changed, and I'm happy the wind void was taken away." Said Miroku thoughtfully.

Sango was staring off into space with Kohoku, running her fingers through his hair.

"I'm grateful I have Kohoku back." She stated simply.

"What's this all about, Shippo?" asked InuYasha.

Shippo explained what he had seen.

"WHAT! She's STILL seeing that bastard?" shrieked InuYasha.

"How romantic!" said a voice. InuYasha had been so angry, he hadn't smelled Sesshomaru and Rin coming up.

The voice was Rin.

"Oh great! Like I don't have enough problems right now!" snarled InuYasha, ripping out the Tessaiga.

"I'm not here for you, hanyou, I'm busy and just passing through. Come, Rin."

"Oh, InuYasha-sama (she always calls everybody sama, I think) you'll leave Kagome-chan alone, won't you? It's just SO romantic!"

"Sissy stuff!" said the gray cat from the Aristocats (the cartoon) before vanishing. (Just kidding!)

"Having problems, InuYasha?"

"Stay out of this, Sesshomaru!" snarled InuYasha.

Sesshomaru, running late for whatever he does all day, rushed off.

"Sesshomaru-sama, wait!" called Rin.

"Wait, Lord Sesshomaru!" called Jakken.

I think Rin's more of the Japanese "sama" type and Jakken is the more English "lord" type.

"Romantic, feh!" said InuYasha.

"I dunno, I think that she's right, InuYasha. I think you should think about Kagome's feelings, and not just your own." Said Miroku sensibly.

InuYasha ran desperately into Kaede's hut, told her the situation, and asked her advice.

"I agree with the monk. I think ye should leave Kagome be." She said. InuYasha knew he was outnumbered and, in his heart, knew that they were right.

So, he waited for Kagome to come back, carrying with her the end of this story.
