Heart in a Bouquet
Pt. II : Slow Forming Webs & Walking on a Rotating Bar
(I'll try for longer chapter)
Naraku opened his mouth to say "I have news of Kikyo,"
Kagome sighed "I alre-" "more than that of your own." Naraku finished with an annoyed look. "What is it?" Kagome said speaking low as though if she wasn't silent the world would hear. Naraku smirked knowing he had her exactly where he wanted.
"I'll tell you… for a price." Naraku said leaning forward over the counter. "Name it." Kagome said boldly. Naraku laughed "Yes that's why I like you. Such fire!" he said. He grabbed Kagome chin. "You will accompany me to the celebration of Kikyo and InuYasha's joining so you will see the information for yourself."
Kagome pulled back roughly shaking her head. "Is that a-" she cut off abruptly when Naraku yanked her into a kiss. A kiss, that meant nothing to Kagome but oh so much more to him. He broke away and reached to his bag that just seemed to appear. "Wear this. I expect you to be ready at seven tomorrow. If you're late, you're on your own." Naraku said leaving the shop.
Kagome stared and shook her head and held the bag to herself.
Naraku was tough to figure out. He was a doctor; yes someone like Naraku was doctor. He very rich because of his job and met Kagome when she was seventeen and he had just started his profession.
He traded information about Kikyo to Kagome. Why and how he knew these things Kagome was not sure. He was always curious of her relation to Kikyo even after Kagome confirmed they were not blood related.
Naraku Onigumo was a suspicious character one that Kagome should be weary of but wasn't only because she would tell of his involvement in illegal murders and disappearances of patients.
So Kagome was safe from the spiders poison, but not it's slowly forming web.
"You're going to ask that flower girl? My lord, Sesshomaru, you can do better!" Jaken said but received a kick from the elegant man.
"It's time this stupid business card be put to work." Sesshomaru smirked.
Sesshomaru didn't love Kagome; he was infatuated like a boy with a new toy. He saw this as another woman to bring to his bed as if to prove to himself that all women were manipulative items of deceit who use and throw away, but he would be the one using and throwing away, not her.
He looked himself over again.
Sesshomaru wasn't into vanity but he knew he looked good and that any woman would be crazy to turn down the rich and handsome elder of the two Inu-Taishio brothers, but as he smirked at his reflection he didn't realize that Kagome wasn't just any woman.
"Kagome! You have another visitor!" Her mother yelled up the stairs. "Okay!"
Kagome came down the stairs.
'Please not Naraku…..' But her thoughts were interrupted by a calm voice that wavered out between two pale lips. "I wanted to ask you if you would come with me to the celebration of InuYasha's marriage." He said handing her a red rose. "I'm sure a woman like you receives many of these."
Kagome's head was spinning Sesshomaru Inu-Taishio asked her to go to same fancy party Naraku did, she thought. Sesshomaru was handsome but she had obligations. "I'm sorry but I was asked by someone already…and I would like to go with this person if you will accept me into your home."
Sesshomaru kissed Kagome's hand. "Please tell me the man who has asked before I." Sesshomaru said sounding a bit thoughtful. Kagome was bright red. "Naraku Onigumo. But just as friends…" Kagome stuttered out.
But gosh Naraku was far from a friend and far from an enemy he was currently a… necessity.
Sesshomaru smirked, Kagome wondered if he could smile, and Sesshomaru wondered of her 'friendship' to Onigumo. Onigumo Naraku was plain as day a bastard, a bastard that knew people. He was full of lies, took involvement in illegal actions, but few knew of this so why was a flower girl 'friends' with a poisonous spider.
"I hope to see you there." He said turning and leaving. "Until tomorrow then." She said sounding a little hopeful.
And she would see him tomorrow along with catastrophe.
"Hurry now Kagome, that gentle man from yesterday is waiting on you. Don't rip your dress on the stairs!" Kagome listened and walked slowly down the stairs. Trying not to rip the beautiful silky green dress it made her look gorgeous. It made her skin look paler than it was and her hair had been let out of the horrible tie and free to kiss her shoulder blades.
"Don't forget to kiss your boyfriend." said Souta nagging. "Hahaha very funny." retorted Kagome reaching the bottom of the stairs. "I see I picked correctly." said Naraku inspecting Kagome's look. "Very good. I will be the envy of all men." He said jokingly to Kagome who let out a dry laugh.
And Naraku led Kagome to the carriage.
Kagome felt weird. She felt like she had grown a second head. Why? Everyone kept looking at her and whispering.
"They envy you." Kagome looked up at Naraku who just kept walking toward the host of the party, InuYasha who right next to KIKYO! "Go mingle with the other guest, I'll find you." And with that he broke off with Kagome going further in.
Kagome was brought back into reality by a tap on the shoulder. "Your date left you to fend for yourself against the wolves." The man was a tan compared to the other pale aristocrats. He was about half a head taller than Kagome with blue eyes and dark hair pulled into a low pony tail.
He gave a polite bow. "I am Kouga Ookami. Would like to dance?" Kagome nodded and so they did. "I'm Kagome Higarashi (sp?)." she said after being pulled into another spin.
Kouga looked thoughtful. "From now on you are my woman." And he leaned forward. Kouga's and Kagome's lips met but the meeting broke quickly cut off by an angry Sesshomaru.
And Kagome felt like she as trying to walk on a rotating bar.
