"I have a dream." Martin Luther King Jr.

Author's note: Please reviewers, no flames. Seriously, I had been reading really good stories, and flamers flamed so bad that they stopped writing. Don't like it don't read it, and for all the rest of you true reviewers, thank you.

PS, don't you think I make Naraku sneak up on Yori a lot?

It had been a day since Naraku had left for his "business" he always seemed to attend, and Yori was bored out of her mind. She tried to avoid Kagura, in case she would blurt out any more secrets she and Naraku should not know, and Kanna was nowhere to be seen.

Curiously, Yori just "strolled" down the hall where the lock for the basement was.

I wonder if this is where he keeps Inuyasha's sword. It's kind of mean what he did, stealing his sword. Wait a minute! What am I saying! Of course it was mean, Naraku is evil! What was I ever thinking going back with him! I am so stupid!

Feed up, she sat in front of the door trap. She just started at in, from what she could see from the darkness.

"Disobeying my orders?" the master of the castle asked.

Spinning around, falling on the trap, looking up she saw in the shadows the familiar body and face of; Naraku.

"Nar-Naraku!" she yelled out. He bends down forward to her as he grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

"What shall I do with you?" he asked himself.

Remembering the first time she had walked into him, as he had told her he did not forgive, but rather punished, she started to tremble. Naraku felt her arm shaking, as this brought him amusement.

"I really do not tolerate the fact I told you that you could not go, and you did. And the fact that you told Kagura about the shard and not me. And the fact that you do not think I am serious about this. And that you think you can play with me wench!" He yelled out.

Yori trembled even more so, her eyes filled with tears and her mind filled with terror.

He going to hit me, he's going to kill me, he's going to slice me in half and send me to hell.

"Listen girl," he breathed on her neck. "It's almost as you wish for me to punish you."

Tears started to pour down her cheeks. Naraku looked at her face and smiled. Then she let it all out and cried like a baby. He smiled even more so.

"I'm so sorry Lord Naraku! I-I-I… I did not go to the basement-I was only look-look-looking at the l-lock…" she managed to say in between breaths of tears. "I do-do think that you ar-are serious… I-I do not think this… this is a j-joke." She stammered as salty tears dropped on the floor.

Staring at her seriously, he let go of her arm, making her fall on the floor. And he walked away. She had been holding her tears when he had pushed her, and once she was sure he was gone, all of her feelings came out.

Why? Why I don't get this! I am so stupid! I was fooled by the times he is nice to me! This will never work out. Either he will be content that I do as he whishes or angry at what he does not want me to do! I was so foolish of thinking that I liked him, or even that he did!

Feed up, she collapsed on the floor where she fell asleep.

"Hey, hey wake up." Kagura's voice rang in her ears. Opening her green eyes, she met up with her red ones. Yori got up and yawned.

"Hi Kagura." She said smiling, feeling a bit better.

"Hello, its about time you are up. Naraku is gone again, and the castle is to ourselves, come with me!" she smiled.

Okay, Yori thought, this is weird. Kagura wanting to spend time with me.

She followed her, as she led her to a room. There Kagura gave her breakfast, and then where she showed her how to play this game, called rock paper scissor. She mumbled something about seeing Inuyasha playing it. It was better then nothing, considering there was not much to do in that empty castle. After a while, Kagura sat down and asked her a question.

"Do you like Naraku?"

Oh no! I cannot trust her! Not here, not her not ever!

"Because if you do, he will never like you back. Naraku doesn't like anyone; he uses them, and then gets rid of them…. Trust me." She added.

She was silent again. I cannot answer her! For two good reasons! First I don't even know, and second, it's Kagura! What ever I tell her, Naraku will either know or make her tell him.

"Well do you like him?" she asked grinning.

"I- um, I um…" – before she could finish, someone else toke the freedom to do it.

"I don't think it's any of your business Kagura."

Naraku.

He was there in the flesh.

Both women turned their head to met up with his. He had no expression on his face, just like Sesshomaru always had.

"Naraku! I did not even see you there!" Kagura exclaimed innocently. Yori kept quiet.

"Ive been here for quite a while, and I think I have heard enough." Walking in the room, he started to order around. "Kagura, go now and I shall deal with your punishment later." Turning his whole body towards Yori, he spoke: "And Yori, get up."

Like an army solder, she did.

"Got any answers for me?" he asked her.

Yori went blank. After a while Naraku grabbed her waist his hands traveling to her back and crushing her into him.

Her heart raced, but she decided not to be fooled by his charming actions.

"No." she tried to say loud and clear, which came out more like a whisper.

Naraku's face grew stern, then broke into a smile. "Really?" then he started to kiss her neck, slowly bringing up his hands towards her shoulders.

Butterfly's danced in her stomach as she blushed. But the feeling was gone as soon as he let her go. Completely.

"That's not what I think darling. You are rather scared to death of me, yet you like me." He answered in a cocky voice.

She just looked down.

"Think about it sweetheart. I will need your answer to see if you are willing to join me to Mount Hakurei."

Author's note

I am going to follow the series where the band of seven comes, because I want to imply some drama between her, Naraku and…. Bankotsu!
