What do you get when you fall in love with a demon

(Sota Higurashi X Naraku)

Act 3 – Like Having a Big Brother

Sota almost choked on every word when he told his mother and grandfather about how he summoned Naraku. Telling them everything never wanting to tell a full out lie when his cover ups were exposed. After he finished tell them about what has been happening to him at school and what Naraku did for him his mother gave a sigh of relief. "Dear me Sota I thought for a second there you were involved with drugs" Sota's mother said as she offered Naraku some clothes that would fit him. "Mom?" Sota said sort of confused and surprised "your not concerned about me having a demon servant who happens to be my sisters old nemesis. I did mention he also beat up three students at my school and brainwashed my teacher, the coach, and the principle". Sota's mother didn't seem concerned with those details as she explained to Sota "Sota I want my children to be free to follow their lives their own ways. However Sota if you ever get involved in drugs..." her face turning suddenly darker "I'll ground you till white hairs grow out of your ears".

Sota's grandfather tried to object with his mother but she calmed him down saying Sota seems to have control over the situation. It must have been her experience with Kagome and her relationship with Inuyasha that makes her so confident in her children being around demons. Even though he said what he is capable of Sota did also say he was bound to a contract and it makes sense to his mother that he couldn't harm them even if he wanted. Sota's grandfather threatened however to banish the demon to the very pits of hell if he ever harms his family. Naraku was calm about the entire situation even though he was naked and Sota's grandfathers powder made his eyes hurt. After the ruckus has settled Sota's mother left the table and came back with a Kimono robe which she got from grandfathers old clothes. Sota's grandfather when he saw Naraku put on those robes started yelling angrily "why are you giving that demon my clothes"?! Sota's mother taking a offense to her fathers tone said indignantly "dad this is Sota's friend and I think its best if we welcome him as best we can. So if that means he has to wear some of your old clothes in the meantime well so be it, besides you haven't wore this since I was born anyhow". "That is not the point!" Sota's grandfather argued trying to get some respect out of being talked back by his daughter "the fact is he is a evil demon and if we are not careful he'll kill us all".

Sota stayed out of this conversation not wishing to add to the tension between Naraku and his grandfather. "Oh dad, quite being so hard to deal with" Sota's mother said "it isn't like Naraku a mindless bloodthirsty monster. In fact I think he is quite charming that Kagome's friend Inuyasha, remember dad how we all warmed up to him, so I am sure we'll come to embrace Naraku as part of this family. Besides I bet he doesn't have a though in his head of harming us isn't that right"? She directed the question to Naraku who looked at Sota with a amused expression then he said sounding very innocent as if he was in his child form "well Mrs. Higurashi I never had a family before so I would like to give it a try, please"? Now Mrs. Higurashi was far from foolish or quick to have the wool pulled over her eyes but if you saw those dog like eyes Naraku gave it would make any mother believe whatever commercial garbage he had to say. So smiling honestly she gave him a light hug then she said with a motherly face "oh I am so happy to hear, that see dad he just needs some love poor thing". However both Sota and his grandfather sighed at how easily she was manipulated. So after excusing himself he asked Naraku to follow then after he got far enough from his mother he scolded Naraku.

"Now listen here I don't care if you hate me or my family but I don't ever want to see you playing with my mothers affections ever again understand!" Sota said this with true anger. Naraku not wanting to get his master riled up and make Sota command him to do something painful gave with no heart in it apology "I am sorry Sota I will never do it again". Sota too flustered to push the issue went up to his room. Naraku having nothing else to do followed his master having very limited freedom under his masters command. After Sota went upstairs to start his homework Naraku decided to go to sleep. Sota looked over at his bed as he got out his books to see Naraku lying there his eyes closed and his face expressionless as he breathed slowly. Sota didn't know why then but he liked the look of Naraku lying there his hands cradling his head as he laid on his sides. He was surprised how quickly Naraku seemed to fall asleep and how peaceful he looked. It reminded him about Inuyasha how he had once found him sleeping under the tree behind the house waiting for Kagome to come home. Sota saw how that usually angry and frustrated face turn expressionless at seem at peace.

Sota wasn't sure how to describe it but he thought it was beautiful and wanted to lie next to him but he knew Inuyasha would never like that. It was like that time he and Inuyasha showered together after Inuyasha got dressed again he told Sota off. "Why the hell do you want to shower with a guy anyhow?! Do you have any idea how weird that is? You know it isn't normal"?! Sota was hurt by those words he just wanted some bonding like his friends, he noticed how they had old or younger brothers and how they did stuff like that. 'Inuyasha must not be the big brother type. I always wanted a big brother even though Kagome is pretty cool she is not one can talk to about manly things. I never knew dad and grandpa has a weird way of explaining things if anything at all'. Looking now more intensely at Naraku on the bed wondering if he wouldn't mind being a big brother. Getting up from his desk Sota walked over to the bed and laid down next to Naraku. Naraku opened his eyes instantly and looked over at Sota who had his eyes closed and has nuzzled close to Naraku.

Naraku at tried to move but he started to feel the warmth of Sota make a imprint. He remembered this feeling before it was forced onto him this however was more freely given. Naraku figured if it felt good there was no reason to fight against it so feeling compelled to Naraku moved his arms over Sota and they both fell asleep.

***

Sota's mother went upstairs to tell Sota that dinner was ready but when she opened the door she saw Sota fast asleep. Naraku was also asleep holding Sota tightly to his chest both seemed so peaceful she didn't have the heart to disturb so she closed the door and smiled to herself. She knew when her Kagome found someone to be with for the rest of her life and now she thinks Sota found his.

***As One Week Passes***

Sota has found Naraku to be a bit more friendlier towards him it seemed that Naraku was sincere though Sota had some doubts he enjoyed Naraku was acting this way. His mother seemed to encourage Sota bringing Naraku to school he even asked him to turn into his child form and play with Sota outside. Even though Sota felt it was a bit degrading having 'play dates' set up at his age he enjoyed Naraku's company. However his grandfather has kept a strict eye on both of them fearing Naraku may have brainwashed Sota. Though even after reading through the book Sota bought he was not sure how whether he should trust Naraku.

Naraku though was not sure what he wanted anymore. He started to grow to like Sota he was friendly, forgiving and made his chest have such a soothing feeling. Naraku wasn't sure what he could do about it before he wanted to be the worlds strongest demon but now it seemed meaningless. What was the point of power he wondered if their was nothing to have power for he took some joy in corruption and causing others pain. Naraku started to learn after woke up to Sota who was getting ready to school that he was born out of desire. A wicked mans desire to have what he couldn't have was the start of his birth. He was glad to remove that ignorant man from his life how he was created by such lust sickened him. Naraku remembered having weak thoughts even after removing his human side that he may not have someone to care about him. His offspring even though some were loyal never had those feelings for him either because they lacked the capacity or thought it was disgusting. Naraku was just glad that in cause of those weak moments he didn't feel too bad. Especially since Sota seemed to be closer to him, 'maybe' Naraku thought 'I might be like a brother to him'. The idea was made him more fierce to those who bullied him at school. Even though Sota scolded him for it he found he was unable to help himself from causing harm to those that talk to Sota in a disrespectful way.

Sota noticed how Naraku seemed to be more hostile to those he attacked and was afraid he maybe more dangerous than he realized. Over the week the only peace he would get is from the weekends. After finishing his homework Sota would teach Naraku to play video games, show off his Manga collection, and just sit around and watch television. Sota when he was taking his bathes wanted to invite Naraku in to wash his back but remembering what Inuyasha said made him avoid the idea. (Also I live in a country with strict rules on such yaoi activities with minors so no shower play till Sota grows up, okay). Sota's mother didn't mind if Sota grew up to fall in love with Naraku but she worried that if her dad was still around his old world thinking may cause him to think Sota's possessed. She was still glad to see them during dinner Naraku with his new clothes she bought him during the week.

That night at the dinner table as they were eating together she was in a deep happiness to have such a nice family. Even though she missed her little girl she was glad to have Sota there with someone who cared for him. (Even though he may not know it yet). She was also surprised how good looking Naraku was in his casual clothes. A plain somewhat tight white t-shirt which hugged at his lean form and his filled out jeans. Sota liked how Naraku looked in his new clothes and often asked if he would go out in public with him looking like that. However he wasn't too keen on how many women asked for Naraku's phone number behind his back. Naraku would rudely shrug them off though which made Sota feel better. Sota's grandfather didn't have many objections against Sota keeping the demon however he did mention to his daughter from time to time if them sleeping in the same bed would turn the boy gay.

She would tell him off for such thoughts, even though she knew Sota may turn out to be that kind of man it didn't really bother her at all. She had many gay friends when she grew up and knew how hard it was for one to have their parents disapprove with the people they want to love. So she would welcome any man her boy fell in love with as her own son and she was glad to see Naraku if he was Sota's love on day was a really nice person. Even though she doesn't see his still loathing for the family. However he soon stopped having any loathing for Sota and just stuck to tolerating him on the boarder of slight affection.

No matter how one looks at it those kind of feelings Naraku had could be described at least as a older brother for his younger sibling. Makes one warm to think about how much room there is for their love... doesn't it.

To be continued......
