Art Or Madness By: Tsukiko-san
Pairing(s): Naraku/Kagome and Sango/Miroku
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha though I wouldn't mind owning Naraku ;- )
Author's Note: (Freaks out) sorry for not updating in such a long time! Well hope you like this chapter!
Warning: Not that big of a warning but there will be some stuff that is a bit freaky in this chapter (Not that the whole Naraku gets rape thing is freaky enough) I don't think it will be that bad so enjoy!
Summery: Humans are but foolish creatures that are ignorant to the web of lies and spite that they had weaved. They live on trivial feelings like love and other feelings that make them pitiful……but I am no better because I have fallen for a mere mortal girl.

Chapter 3: The kiss of death.
Quivering wings struggled against silky threads; the labyrinthine web imprisoned the butterfly in its deadly net as the threads coiled around the colorful wings that strained to get free. That's how she felt, captured in an imaginary web that wouldn't let her go, a social butterfly stuck in a snare by a spider named Naraku. A bit dramatic but the truth nonetheless. As she stood up from her sitting position she realized that it was a cobweb in the corner of her apartment that she discovered the analogy (Eww). Confused and trying to find solutions to her problems that loom over her like hungry vultures she just felt exhausted and frustrated. Yes, the dizzying brink of adulthood is a rich legacy that just makes life complicated and is the result of why her life sucks.
"A real miracle, that's what I need." Kagome mumbled as she rifled through her mess of documents and papers that spilled onto the wooden floor. Grabbing a blue sheet of paper that read: "Progress report: patient Naraku." She grabbed one of the two pens that held up her messy bun, as she chewed on the pen she tried to come up with a few words to say about Naraku. It was a ridicules thing to write a progress report when she had only one therapy session with Naraku but it was standard procedure, what a stupid procedure it was. Kagome's ocean blue eyes took a look at her wrist, it had healed but imprinted in her pale skin were small scars that weren't easily seen but still there.
"A big stupid …...meany!" She muttered under her breath as she scribbled onto the blue paper thinking of any other words to describe the big "meany" known as Naraku. Kagome released a breath willing for the surge of anger to fade away. Kagome felt so childish, as she scribbled out the words she tried to clear her befuddled mind as to what to write.
"He has a nice chest." She said absentmindedly chewing onto the pen leaving teeth marks on the cap. "Who has a nice chest?" Sango asked wiggling her eyebrows suggestively. "You've been hanging around Miroku haven't you?" Kagome asked trying to hide the small blush that spread onto her ivory cheeks. Sango giggled slightly in Kagome's expense looking towards the flustered younger female. Sango raised a slim eyebrow as she tore the blue scribbled paper from Kagome, the scribbling didn't obscure the words 'big meany' as Sango tried to slap away Kagome's hands from the paper that seemed precious to the younger girl.
"Give it back!" Kagome said quietly her words lining in small irritation as she once again tried to tare the paper from Sango's hands.
"Or what, you'll call me a big meany?" Sango said teasingly finally handing back the badly scribbled paper to the young girl, who was her roommate. "Oh yes laugh at my expense." Kagome said her pink lips set in a pout as she huffed. Sango lazily rolled her warm brown eyes showing a bit of concern to the irritated Kagome. "Now tell me who this 'meany' is as you put it?" Sango said seriously hoping that her face didn't show any indication that she was amused by this nickname. Kagome's blue eyes clouded into deep thought trying to hide her hand in her pocket jeans, the one with the small indication of wounds.
"His name is Naraku…" She said quietly. Saying nothing more Kagome looked to Sango with exhaustion coloring her blue eyes as she gave a yawn. "I'm tired Sango I'm going to sleep, okay?" Kagome said as she walked to the couch in the apartment.
"But it's mid afternoon." Sango said but the sleeping Kagome didn't hear a word.
(Scene Change: Flashback)
At a young age he found out that evil will always frequently triumph and innocence is no factor in a world where life draws inspiration from dark fantasies and gothic fairy tales. Naraku felt his bruised flesh press onto the wooden floor as his 'father' sat himself onto his back. The weight that pushed onto his already injured back was unbearable as his 'father' lit a cigarette. The smell of tobacco filled the air as the wispy curls of smoke traveled in the air into his face. Naraku coughed trying to fill his lungs with fresh air only for the tobacco infested air travel into his mouth making him cough violently. Cold hands tugged at his torn shirt making him shiver from the clamminess, already anticipating the harsh pain he will experience.
"I'll mark you, so that other people will know what's mine." His words dripping with cruelty as he tapped his cigarette making that hot embers of the tobacco fall onto Naraku's bare back.
Naraku's muscles clenched as the smell of burning flesh wafted towards his nose. He tried to struggle but his 'father' held him down, knowing that it was futile Naraku tried to calm himself for the oncoming pain. His 'father' brought his lips close to Naraku's ear blowing into it slightly before he spoke.
"That's a good boy." He whispered turning his lips into a sinister smile. Naraku's eyes clenched as he felt the burning sensation of the cigarette upon his back as he tried not to scream. He knew that was the reaction 'he' wanted; well he would not satisfy him with words of begging no matter how much he wanted to beg the old man to stop.
"Hush little baby don't say a word,
Daddy's gonnna buy you a mocking bird,
If that mocking bird don't sing,
It's because it's dying of all its sins………"
"Wow how clever." Naraku grunted as his'fathers' little twisted song met his ears. The vile human pressed the cigarette deeper into his pale skin making him cry out. "Shut it boy." 'He' said harshly biting at Naraku's neck.
"Why don't you take a look?" His 'father' said finally getting off of him only to grip his shoulder's in a vice like grip. He led Naraku to the hallway mirror showing the cigarette made spider mark in the middle of his milky skin. Red, showed the irritation of skin that coiled around the spider mark.
"My little spider." His 'father' said kissing him on his cheek.
He felt sickened and the bastard of a human left him in the dank hallway staring at the burned flesh in the reflection of the mirror.
Naraku bit his pale lips making crimson drops mark the small canvass that lay before him. He wanted to rip the canvass anything to let his frustration, as it was he was once again locked away in the damn contraption known as a straight jacket. Who knew that the old hag had enough strength to trap him in a straight jacket? The flashbacks he had been receiving had made him fall into a world of revulsion and self pity as he tried to take his aggravation on anything he could. Animate and inanimate objects accepted in his preference of destruction. Naraku tried to blow his wavy head from his face as he rested against a cushioned wall.
He hated to admit it but if the 'Kagome' girl came back then it wouldn't be so bad, it was better then watching the mundane walls of his jail of a hospital for people who have lost there reason. Of course he has not lost his sanity (not that he has gone through a day questioning his sanity at times).
(Scene Change: With Kagome; dream state)
Soft lips kissed at her beating pulsed making her mew in contentment. Those soft lips trailed small kisses along her neck sometimes biting at her creamy skin and licking at the slight irritation to sooth the little pain it inflicted. Finally those wicked lips pressed softly onto her own as a fang grazed at her bottom lip. A small droplet of blood rested onto her lip until a slick tongue tasted the coppery liquid. "Your blood is quiet tasty." A husky whisper heated her ear as she tried to look for the owner of the sultry voice.
He captured her lips in a heated kiss that warmed her blood and her cheeks flushed in pleasure as she returned the kiss full force. His hot tongue entered her mouth making her gasp from the intrusion; he took advantage of her surprise as his tongue explored the sweetness of her mouth. Kagome shyly followed his lead and let her own tongue taste his spicy taste.
Unexpectedly she felt his warmth leave her mouth making her blue eyes fluttered open. Ocean blue eyes clashed with crimson as Kagome tried to dispel the momentarily lapse in her rational thinking.
"Naraku..." Kagome whispered until her blue eyes widen in shock.
Kagome fell off the couch she was sleeping on, falling to the floor which was cluttered with worn clothes and papers as she tried to calm her racing heart. Kagome tried to disperse the surreal dream from her mind hoping to rationalize that it was not Naraku that was in her dream.
"It's strictly a professional relationship." She murmured hoping that hearing it would make the vision of her kissing her patient go away.
"That's just freaky……" She whispered hoping that she didn't talk in her sleep (which she sometimes did) so that Sango didn't know of her distress. Kagome stood up and made her way to the bathroom running her slender fingers through her raven hair as she kicked a path towards the bathroom. The cold ceramic tiles of the floor made her shiver as she made her way to the sink brushing a lock of hair behind an ear.
Kagome looked at the bathroom mirror to find crimson eyes staring back at her, she gasp and fell onto the bathroom floor scurrying away from the unwanted reflection discovering that it was just the trick of the light. Yup it was official she has lost her sanity maybe she can reserve a nice room in the mental hospital she works at.
