Unknown Person #1 POV

Sooo Naraku has returned. My my is the spider demon strong now. He is as strong as he is attractive. I must say that Naraku really has brought sexy back. I see that the curse didn't last as long as I had expected. Oh well at least he's back home in Brooklyn where I can lay my hands on him. Oh and lay my hands I will. Just as long as that freakin panther demon chick doesn't get in my way again.


Naima's POV

After class was over, I stood outside in the hallway waiting for Sesshoumaru to come out. His father had wanted both him and Inuyasha to stay after a little so they could talk about something. Seeing this as an opportunity because I was all alone, Miroku came up to me and placed an arm over my shoulder. "I hope that there are no hard feelings about what I did earlier, Naima. You see, this unbelieveable sucking power of the Wind Tunnel causes the female anatomy to accidentally get drawn into my hand." I turned to him and gave him a 'yeah-right' look.

"Miroku you are so full of it, you know that right? But its okay. I know how you are. Just promise me that you will try to behave yourself." He smiled and then took my hands into his, causing me to turn and completely face him.

"Oh Naima you are so understanding. That's why we are such good friends. But I have a question that I need to ask you." I frowned and snatched my hands away, already knowing what he was going to ask.

"Don't even ask it, Miroku. Sesshoumaru's ears are so good that he can hear you even through that closed door." Miroku took a step back and looked through the door's window only to see a pair of normally stoic golden eyes glaring daggers at him. Miroku nervously smiled at my boyfriend before turning back to me.

"Well I must be off Naima. See you later," he said before running past me in the other direction. I laughed as I watched him scurry off. While I was turned around, I didn't notice that someone had snuck upon me as two hands now covered my eyes, blinding me from the world.

"Guess who," a warm manly voice said in my ear. I smiled to myself, already knowing who it was.

"Lemme guess. Is it some trifling spider demon?"

"Huh?" Before Naraku could react, I took an elbow and drove it into his gut. He let out a loud groan as he immediately removed his hands and doubled over, holding his stomach. "Wha...what in the hell was that for?!" he snapped.

"What do you think it was for you idiot?!" I snapped back. He stood back up straight still holding his stomach.

"I see that you're still angry about what happened."

"Hell yeah I'm still angry."

"I'm sorry Naima. I didn't mean to hurt you."

"If that was true, then you should have stayed right here in Brooklyn with me."

"I'm really sorry Naima. I really am."


Flashback

"Naraku! No Naraku please don't do this!" I, then thirteen years old, cried at my best friend one summer day in 2002. "Naraku! No! Please!"

"I'm going Naima and there isn't a damn thing that you or anybody else can do about it."

"But I love you Naraku! I love you so much, please don't go!"

"Love?! Hmph. Love is for weak demons. I cannot afford to love someone, for I'll become too vunerable. No! I shall find this Shikon Jewel and when I do, I'll turn myself into a full demon. Then I won't have to be pushed around anymore." I stared up at my best friend with tears staining my face. How could he say those things when he knew how much I loved him. When he knew that I had fallen IN love with him. After seven long years of friendship, I wanted to become more than friends. I wanted to feel what it would be like to be the main woman in Naraku's life. Naraku had told me many times before that he was planning on leaving Brooklyn to search for the legendary Shikon Jewel that resided in Japan. It was said that the jewel could turn half demons into either humans, or full demons. Naraku's one desire was to become a full demon. This desire consumed him so much, that it was all that harbored in his thoughts. He didn't care what he had to do to get this jewel, even if it meant hurting his best friend in the process. I also knew how dedicated he was into finding it. I could tell by the slight changes in his personality. The sweet innocent boy who I met when we were still in elementary school, had now become much more dark and cold. Still, I loved him. I wanted him to stay right there in Brooklyn with me as we ventured into high school. So in a moment of pure naievity and this new emotion of lust within my body, I decided to show him how much I loved him, hoping it would make him change his mind about wanting to leave, but to mt disappointment it hadn't.

"Naraku please!" I begged as I wrapped my arms around a leg of the red eyed demon. Tears still flowing down my face as I hugged the sheets close to my naked form. Naraku shook his head as he began to put his shirt back on.

"Naima I already told you that I was leaving for Japan today, and I'm NOT changing my mind."

"But we promised to be by each other's side forever." I reached up and held the necklace in my fingers that Naraku had given me all those years ago. To this day, I still wear it.

"We'll still be best friends even though we'll be apart. I'll make sure to talk to you everyday." He kept his promise and called, e-mailed, and wrote to me those first two years, but he broke the communication ties those last three years.

Naraku broke free from my grip and walked out of his bedroom. I shed the sheet and quickly put back on on the yellow sundress, training bra and panties that I had just shed a few minutes before. I ran out of his bedroom and down the steps of his home. I busted through the doors and stood on the outside stoop. I looked left and right, but saw no signs of Naraku. I then looked above me and saw a dark purple cloud of miasma flying away into the distance. I began to cry harder. He had left without even saying goodbye.


Back to Naima

"Do you know bad it feels to have your best friend turn their back on you like that? I pretty much stayed in my room for the rest of that summer until I started high school."

"I really didn't mean to make you feel that way Naima. I was young and immature. And after we had made love, I knew that things would only become more difficult if I had stayed. So I left."

"You really were stupid. I liked you just as you were. I liked you fine as a half demon. Is the life of a half demon really that bad that you had to go off and leave me like that? I mean, I really don't understand it."

"Only a half demon would know how it feels, so I don't expect you to understand."

"Why did you stop calling me?"

"I don't know. To be honest, its like I just woke up one day and for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to contact you. I don't know why. I really can't explain it."

"So what are you doing back in town?"

"It was time for me to come home. Plus, I began to miss you. All of your little quirks and ways. And that pretty smile." I found myself smiling right then. "I just missed hanging out with you." I looked deep into his red eyes and was internally cursing myself. I knew that I couldn't stay mad at Naraku. Even back when we were kids our fights only lasted a day if even i that /i long. But I was still going to test his loyalty to me. I reached inside my shirt and pulled out the friendship necklace that he had given me when I was only seven years old. Twelve years later, I still had it. It was fading and had a new chain, but I couldn't seem to rid myself of it.

"I'll forgive you if you still have this," I told him with serious eyes. He chuckled as he shifted his books to one arm and reached inside his shirt too. To my suprise he did still have the necklace. It looked like mine and had a new chain too, but he still had it. He gave me a big smile as he placed his text books on the ground. He rose back up and stretched his arms out really wide.

"Now can I have a hug?" he asked. I smiled really wide too as I put my school books on the ground as well.

"Sighs I guess so." I walked over to him and allowed myself to get swallowed up into two strong arms. I heard another chuckle come from deep within him as I laid my head on his chest, his chin resting on the top of my head.

"I really did miss you Naima," he softly said as he rocked us a little.

"I missed you too. And I'm glad that you're home," I replied in the same soft voice. Just then the door to Taisho-Sensei's classroom opened causing us to break the embrace. Two pair of golden colored eyes stared at us with questioning looks.

"Naima?" Sesshoumaru said.

"Narakuuuu," Inuyasha growled. Naraku smirked at the younger brother.

"Inuyasha. Its been quite some time has it not?"

"You know this man Inuyasha?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Oh yeah. I know him really well." I knew Inuyasha even before I knew Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha used to go to middle school with me and Naraku. Inuyasha and Naraku didn't get along very well because they were once after the same girl. Her name was Kikyo. Inuyasha then turned his gaze to me. "Naima have you seen Miroku?" he asked.

"Yeah. He went that way." I pointed into the direction.

"Thanks," he said before giving Naraku one more cold look before walking away.

"So who is this Nama?" Sesshoumaru asked me.

"Sesshoumaru, this is my best friend, Naraku. Naraku, this is my boyfriend, Sesshoumaru," I introduced.

"Hello," Naraku said as he extended a hand out to my other half. He hesitated a bit before shaking it. He then turned his head back to me.

"Say Naima. Let's go get something to eat. Football practice is in an hour so I need to eat something before I go."

"Okay. Hey Naraku you wanna come with us?"

"Nah, I think that you two might want to spend some time alone."

"Awww come on. We've got a lot of catching up to do. You don't mind, do you Sess?"

"It doesn't matter," Sesshoumaru cooly replied.

"See he doesn't care. So come on."

"Well...alright. I guess I need to eat before practice too."

"Oh you're playing football too?"

"Mmmhmm. So is Bankotsu."

"Oh cool then. My main men teaming up. How awesome!" We all turned around and began to walk off in order to get something to satisfy our appetites.


Unknown Person #1 Again

Dammit! He's only been back a day and Naima's already got him wrapped around her little finger. I won't let her win again. No! Not this time. I guess that I'm going to have to check out football practice today. Naraku will be mine. I'll make sure of it this time.
