I'm so sorry for the delay. winces But on a positive note I think that my writing skills have improved:-D YAY! But yall will have to tell me… I must warn you that this gets a little dark now… okay pretty dang dark. There will be rape in this chappie and after it switches back to Naraku's POV (after Kagome's) then stop reading if you don't want to see it. I will leave an authors note highlighting the important parts in the next author note so you don't miss anything important. K BYE!
Naraku sat in a tree and watched as the human that was Kikyo's reincarnation tried to help his only true love. Before he as Onigumo had met Kikyo he had known Victoria and loved her. He had always felt to weak to truly be with her though, though she said that she loved him even though he was human and that it didn't matter to her. Her father was a cruel and horrible man and he wouldn't have let her go even if Onigumo had been a demon.
Onigumo set out to prove that he was strong and became a bandit. When he was caught in that fire and Kikyo began to heal him Onigumo had been attracted to her to an obsessive degree. But it was his love for Victoria that had him sell his soul to those demons. He added that he would always love those he loved as a human and be unable to harm them to the deal and it had backfired. The demons he had melded with didn't understand the differences between love and lust.
Not only did he love Vicky but he also loved Kikyo now. Victoria didn't know and he was afraid of losing her once she did. Watching her get sicker and sicker had begun to drive him crazy. Naraku watched as Inuyasha's group tried futilely to heal what he couldn't, even with all of the power that he had gained.
Kagome dipped the wash cloth into the cold water in the bucket that Sango had gotten her. Lightly dabbing the sweat from Vicky's forehead she tried to ignore the murmurings of her friends. Vicky didn't move and her face never changed. Most people with a fever this high would be muttering and hallucinating and Kagome wished that she were a better healer.
The bruise was maybe a little lighter but Kagome was worried. Inuyasha healed after having his brother shove a poisoned claw through his stomach in a matter of a few days. Broken backs in hours and bruises in minutes… Why wasn't she healing? Kagome looked over her shoulder and called to Miroku.
Miroku came over and crouched next to Kagome. "Yes?"
"I can't help her… my skills aren't advanced enough. Help please. What should I do? Her fever is climbing dangerously. It's well above the temperature that would have cooked a human's brain and it doesn't seem to be cooling at all." Kagome pleaded to the monk dipping the rag in water again.
"I have very little experience in this matter Kagome. I don't think there is anything we can do beyond what you're doing." Miroku said for once not being a pervert.
"Do you really think that she's a spy?" Kagome asked him.
"I don't think so… But the possibility if very real and you shouldn't discount it Kagome. Never underestimate your enemy." Miroku looked at his hand as though reminding himself what this particular enemy could do and walked back to the others.
Kagome looked at the demon that was laying there looking fragile and dipped the wash rag again.
BEWARE THE FOLLOWING PART IS DARK! BUT IMPORTANT! THE HIGHLIGHTS (IMPORTANT FACTS) WILL BE GIVIN IN THE CHAPTER AFTER THIS ONE LABLED : HIGHLIGHTS. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO READ THIS THEN PASS ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER!
Naraku tried to think of something he could do to help without getting in a fight with his enemies. Overhearing the conversation between the cursed monk and Kagome he retreated and decided to get some willow bark for Vicky's fever. Finding the herb didn't help at all as he remembered belatedly that it needed to be hung and dried.
He looked back over his shoulder towards where his love lay racked with fever and begun to hunt down a near by village.
He approached a small hut on the edge and fought down the familiar surge of hatred that he felt from being around humans in general. Walking up to the door and knowing it was pointless he knocked. When a man in his middle years answered Naraku never had a chance to ask for the herbs. He took one look at the red eyes and grabbed a sword that had apparently been near the door. Naraku defended himself once from the blade and then drove his tactical through the human's chest.
"I do not have time for this." Naraku felt the bloodlust rush through him and fought it under control.
This one unfortunate death would have been the end of it had the woman in the hut not screamed bringing forth the other inhabitants of the village. Groaning in annoyance Naraku tried to tell them that he was not here to harm them when every last man and quiet a few women attacked him.
The bloodlust got to him and he felt the familiar floating sensation. Floating above himself he watched as he killed every man in the village. Not even bothering to try and return to himself while all the fighting human were around he finally began to claw himself back when he began to attack the woman and children.
The Demons had taken over by now. Naraku winces as he raped a screaming woman. She was one of three left. Everyone else was dead.
He finally reached his body as it orgasmed leaving him vulnerable for reentry. The Demons in him still had control and as he fought for it they sliced the woman's neck and moved to the next one. This one still had fight left in her and right before he thrust himself into her he gained control stopping himself. She struggled under him and he felt the demons using that to drag him back under.
"Stop fighting, please. I'm so hungry," and he was. His voice broke at the hunger that the demons had. They wanted meat, still living. They wanted meat and sex, Naraku was having a difficult time controlling them because he was still upset over Victoria's injury… Wishing that he hadn't thought that thought the demons lurched forward and he was unable to stop himself from thrusting into her.
She screamed and clawed at him. "No… stop… please." The words that should have been coming out of her mouth erupted out of his. He had control again, if she continued to fight he would lose it. "Please," the word was broken.
She did not head his words and all control was ripped from him. Once the Demons were finished with her they snapped her neck and fed a little like that had from so many of the others. They turned once again, to the last of the women, barely older then 16 and ripped at her. Naraku seized control fast as he could and paused his pawing off her clothing.
Every muscle in his body was tense. "No!"
The girl underneath him froze, she had seen what had happened to her aunt and fought the welling fear in her to keep from fighting. Laying under him entirely submissive she clenched her eyes tight and sobbed softly.
Naraku was able to push the Demons into a corner of his mind with the thought of what Vicky would do if she found out what happened. Forcing down his erection that he had no control over Naraku heaved himself of the girl.
Her eyes flew open and she looked at him with liquid blue eyes.
"I'm so sorry. Oh Gods. I couldn't… they…" Naraku finally stopped his rambling and looked at her. "I just wanted some willow bark…"
He lurched away from her and ran to the original hut, he passed bodies of children and woman, frozen in terror. Knowing that he would tell Vicky all about this he tried not to throw up and grabbed the willow bark.
Heading towards the stream near by Naraku stripped of his clothing the rest of the way and washed and washed. He scrubbed at his skin until it was red from cold and scrubbing and then he scrubbed some more. He looked at the clothing and left them there. Going back to the village he went to the small hut on the corner and grabbed some clothing that would fit him from the man's closet. He finished dressing and turned to see the girl staring at him. She didn't have a weapon but she just stared.
Naraku looked at her before looking down at his hands that were red and the skin was partially peeled away. "I…" He looked at her. He couldn't find the words to tell her.
She just looked at him with those gray-blue eyes. There was knowledge there.
Naraku turned and ran, moving away from the knowledge there and back to Vicky. Hoping that when he told her his new atrocity that she wouldn't hate him…
Okay I'm done for now… REVIEW! Please :-D
What ya think?
