I'm BACK! Not much to say at the moment. You know how it is when you mind goes blank with no disclaimer. I do not own Inu Yasha. I wish I did. That would be pretty cool. But I don't… Because… I'm a loser. Anyway, on with the story!

Naraku Doesn't Give Up…

Sesshomaru looked down at her. He hugged her and whispered softly in her ear.

"Alia…. I want to be with you. I want you to stay with me forever. I love you." His voice was low and husky and she couldn't help but smile. But something nagged at her. Deep in the back of her mind.

"Sesshomaru… how? I'm a human. I'll eventually die, given the time. And what about my parents?" She looked up at him again. She saw despair at those words. Despair on his face. She let a tear fall. She turned from him.

"I'll be back soon." She was startled by the coolness of his voice. When she turned to him, he was walking away towards the forest. She looked down again. Her hands were in fists. Her face showed nothing but anger. She didn't understand the sudden change. One minute, he was warm and loving, the next, cold and distant. But then she knew it was because of what she said. And she regretted ever saying it.

"Sesshomaru…. I'm… sorry…" Alia said softly to no one there. She turned to the others. They stared at her and before one word was said, she turned from all of them and ran the opposite direction. She didn't know what else to do. She wanted to be alone. To get away from the harshness of her reality. She wanted time to think.

Naraku was slowly closing in on Alia's sent. He smirked full heartily.

"Aw… poor girl seems distressed. Maybe I can cheer her." He smirked. He fallowed till he was well away from the sent of Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru. She was now frowning and sitting on the ground. He crept towards her without her knowing, or so he thought.

"Stop." That one word, held no fear. "Naraku, why do you persist? Just leave me alone." She glared daggers at him when she turned.

"You are distraught. I thought I could possibly help." He stepped closer. She looked up coldly. Her soft eyes now hard and a little red from tears.

"I don't want or need your help." She said with clenched teeth. Naraku just raised an eyebrow.

"He doesn't really love you. If he did, he would hear what you have to say, he would understand you don't want to leave your family alone." Alia began to cry. Maybe he was right. Maybe… she should just return home alone.

"Then I will leave-"

"NO! I want you to come with me. To be with me. I can get your family to come too. You all could live forever together. You will have no worries or sorrows." He was saying all the right words. He made it seem so beautiful and like it was the right thing to do.

"Maybe…. NO!" she snapped out of it. This wasn't right. "Lies! All of them!" She screamed in his face. Naraku only smiled his wicked smile and hugged her close to him. Alia struggled as hard as she could but couldn't get free.

"I could just kill them. All of them. Inu Yasha. Kagome. Shippo. Sango. I could kill your family. I could kill Sesshomaru and Rin if I wanted too." He whispered every word with malice into her ear. Tears began to flow and she stopped struggling. Could he do it? Her family and friends maybe, but Sesshomaru? No. He would come for her. Right?

"Come. I will take you to the castle." She didn't protest. Didn't say anything. Only looked down at the ground with sadness and disgust at herself for being weak.

Sesshomaru came back to the camp. Inu Yasha was kindling the fire and Kagome was cooking. Rin stood close to him.

"Master Sesshomaru? I don't see her." The little girl said, looking for Alia. Sesshomaru looked down at her for a moment with the littlest of worry.

"Sesshomaru." Inu Yasha said curtly. Kagome looked up. It took them a moment to notice Sesshomaru was carrying something.

"What is that?" Shippo asked. Kagome looked harder. It looked like he had a fruit. Her eyes widened.

"Is that-" She began.

"Yes." Her said. "The Demon Fruit. Whoever eats it will become a demon." He said monotonely.

"But- We fought a guy that ate that fruit and it turned him into a monster. He became the slave of the Demon Fruit Tree." Kagome said with horror at what Sesshomaru was suggesting.

"What are you trying to do to that poor girl!" Inu Yasha yelled.

"Are you nuts?" Sango asked.

"Relax. The Demon Fruit has different effects for different people. The man you had fought turned out the way he did because of his greed. Alia will be different. She will turn into a demon type of her choosing." Sesshomaru stated simply. They all stared at him. This could work. They just needed to find Alia.

"Kagura. Find our guest some new cloths." Naraku commanded. Kagura bowed.

"Yes, Naraku." She looked at Alia incredulously. Could this girl be trusted? Alia just stared blankly at her and Kagura got chills. Her look was so empty. Like she had to keep herself under control or she would lose it. Kagura stared at her a moment and began to walk down a corridor.

"Put these on." Kagura handed Alia a sakura colored kimono with a red sash. Alia stared at it and a single tear slid down her blank face. Kagura shivered again. Her look was creepy. Alia just picked it up and began to undress and put it on. Kagura helped her with the sash and showed her to Naraku's quarters.

"Kana. Keep an eye outside. Her friends may come." Kagura said, ushering Alia inside the room. Naraku was sitting on a crimson mat smirking.

"You do look lovely. Perfect for your awakening." He said smoothly. He leaned forward and kissed her cheek as she sat down.

"I will do what it takes to protect my loved ones." Naraku smiled even wider at this little statement.

Inu Yasha wandered into the forest to look for Alia. Sesshomaru searched above. Kagome stayed at the camp with Shippo. Sesshomaru stopped. There. There was an energy surge coming from the east.

"Inu Yasha!" Sesshomaru stopped his half brother. "She is in Naraku's castle." Inu Yasha nodded. He went back to the camp to get Kagome. Sesshomaru went on towards Naraku's castle.

"All of this wont save your family." Naraku said as his lip touched Alia's neck. She looked at the ground in surprise and then anger.

"You wont touch them." She said. Naraku smiled and kissed her neck again.

"Oh yes. I can. And will. Then you will forget them until you beco-" Alia pushed him off and stood. That was it. Se couldn't take it. Naraku appeared behind her and when she turned, he slapped her. She fell to the ground in a sprawl.

"You will learn to serve me as my bride servent!" Naraku screamed at her. Tears flowed from her eyes. "And what luck. The perfect way to break you. Watch your lover, Sesshomaru die. He's coming for you." That was it. Those words broke into her. She slowly raised her head. Her eyes were black and she hissed at him with anger. She was in rage, and it seemed Naraku saw his mistake.

"You have awakened." He said with slight aw. In one fluid motion, Alia was standing and glaring with rage in her now black eyes.

"Yes… You have. Now you will die." Her energy skyrocketed making Naraku kneel under the pressure of it. Yes… Her power was truly awakened.

Thanks to everyone who has reviewd so far. Wow. Naraku is such and evil little monkey. Want to know what happens? Your going to have to wait. For now, just R&R.
