Chapter 4: After Shock
Kagome sighed as she lay with half-lidded eyes on her comfortable bed. The aftermath of the dream still had not left her as she tried to get the image of Naraku out of her head. Kagome had been fortunate enough that her roommate Sango had not heard her in the stillness of the night. Thank Kami, she would never live it down if Sango heard anything about the erotic dream she had.
Kagome shifted on her covers as she buried her face into the pillow trying to filter out all her frustrations by screaming into the fluffy contraption. Kagome threw a pillow that had been innocently lying on her bed at the lavender colored walls hoping that might help as well at her perturbed mood that dampened her day. Kagome bit her lips as she pushed off her warm bed feeling that productivity might get her mind off the dream. Hoping to release the negative feelings that felt pent up in her chest she went in search of comfort food. The relentless tug of despair flow through her as she pushed aside all the dirty clothes and papers that littered the apartment floor. She felt emotionally impaired as she tried to sort out the feelings for her patient Naraku.
It was strictly platonic, nothing more.
The warming of her cheeks suggested otherwise as she started to think of the crimson eyed mental patient.
Gummy worms with peanut butter were therapeutic to the mind. Well that's what she thought anyway…
She looked at the small clock that hung on the wall finding that she still had time before she needed to go to the asylum to see Naraku.
Irritation
Cunning, merciless, and feared by all is what described the silver haired beauty as his golden eyes scanned ivy-covered stone walls that loomed over the wide acre of green grass. The mental patients shambled about their white robes trailing behind them as the doctors observed their productivity. The stoic expression that marred his face could intimidate all as he made his way across the emerald green lawn trying to avoid the babbling patients that talked to trees. His strides long and graceful Sesshomaru made his way to the front desk. His finely pressed onyx suit contrasting with the beige walls of the reception office as he ran a claw through his silver hair.
"How may I help you?" A small old woman asked as she didn't look up from the computer screen that blinked every few seconds.
"I'm looking for a patient, named Naraku." His voice was similar to the expression that settled onto his face. Cold and stern. The old lady stopped in the midst of her typing as she looked up to find golden gleaming eyes boring into her skull.
"I'm sorry but visiting hours are over." She said kindly a crinkling smile plastered onto her wrinkled face as she went back to the blinking computer screen. Like he could give a damn about visiting hours
"Takashi Keade." Sesshomaru said while looking to the name tag that clad her white uniform. She looked up, a bit annoyed that he was still here when she had obviously told him to get lost, in a friendly way of course.
'These young folks just get dumber and dumber, in my day…' Keade's thoughts trailed off as she rambled on about the society today, and all the whippersnappers that take things for granted. Sesshomaru raised a delicate eyebrow when the old lady did not respond. He tapped his claws onto the mahogany desk trying to get her attention from her day dreaming.
"I just have some….business to take care of, concerning about him." Sesshomaru said coldly some irritation spilling into his words as he regarded the old nurse. "What is this 'business' that you need to take care of with Naraku that it can't be done in visiting hours?" She said her eyebrow twitching as she gazed at him with furious brown eyes.
"His freedom." Sesshomaru said simply his golden stare boring into the dumbfounded nurse.
Advice from the lies (Flashback)
The safest place to be is alone, friends just get in the way and they are never friends to begin with so might as well dispose of them. Reality is a harsh thing but if you carefully construct a disguise you just might not be ripped apart by the fine line of life that makes existence a darkly funny melodramatic story.
Naraku huddled near the dense shadows of the corner trying to hide, hoping to extinguish the fear that burned inside him. Naraku whimpered slightly as he heard pained screams fill his elfin like ears hoping to deafen the shrieks of pain, he plastered his hands against his ears.
"Mom…" He whimpered hearing a sickening thud echo through the room. His knees knock together as he tried to stand up his teeth clenched as he tried to not scream in pain when he felt the soreness 'down there'. He gripped the wall like a life line as he made his ways to the screams and shouts that filled the small house. Naraku heard the sickening sound of skin smacking skin as he entered the room where his 'father' and mother are.
Naraku crawled away when he say what his 'father' was doing with his mother.
(Later)
The crimson liquid stained the linoleum floor as he bent down cleaning the running blood that ran like tiny rivers.
A knife lay in her pale hand as her wrist was severed with a deep laceration. He felt his eyes glaze over as he looked into her lifeless orbs that were once filled with warmth that she had only showed to him only him only.
"Clean this up…" His 'father' said as he threw a dish rag at Naraku while he looked lazily at the fragile body that lay in a heap on the kitchen floor.
"She was weak, well at least I have you, my little spider." He said with a deadly grin as he made his way out of the kitchen. Naraku finally let the tears flow cleaning his mother's blood, now his hands were stained with her blood……
Electroshock (Present)
Naraku lazily rolled his eyes as he layed down on the cushioned floor his wavy black hair like an inky abyss on the white matress. Naraku squinted his eyes when the artificial light filtered into his usually dank room. He hissed when the silhouette of a man stood in the door way as his eyes dilated. He was roughly grabbed by the scruff of his next and was suddenly felt the edges of his vision swim before he fell unconsious.
(Scene Change)
He was thrown roughly into the cell like cage the smell of mildew covering his senses as he bared his teeth at the human that dared to handle him in such a way. He once again cursed himself for having this damn straight jacket on his person or he would have showed this pathetic human a thing or two.
"What do you think you're doing?" He asked gruffly struggling as the human had a goofy grin spreading across his lips. "I'm just doing my job and I was told to put you into a cell. You are now categorized as 'criminally insane'." He said while he locked the cell. Naraku felt a growl travel through his throat as his red eyes turned a darker shade of crimson from the surge of anger that welled up inside him.
Naraku settled onto the concrete wall finding that he had some nostalgia for the white cushioned room as he grimaced at the rats that crawled across the floor. His ears perked up as he heard the schizophrenic next to his self murmur about obscene things. Naraku sighed finding that his life had turned for the worst.
End Chapter------
Well I'm ending here and just for you know that Naraku's mother did make suicide since I found it a bit vague. Well I hope I didn't drive away any reviewers. Thanks for reading and review if you like.
Review thanks:
Atamagaolashii Ookami: There will be more flashbacks and I'm trying to take it slow cause then this fanfic will only be like 5 chapters long. But I swear there will be some loving for Naraku. Also if you do post your Nar/kag fanfic tell me and I'll totally read it cause I'm now a total fanatic for a good Nar/kag fic.
