From Sesshoumaru's POV
After I had dropped Naima off at her place, I drove back to my own home that I shared with Koga and Jaken. I pulled into the parking lot and parked my red car in front of the building. As I got out of my car and began walking down the sidewalk to the enterance of the building, I saw that Muso's black Escalade was also in the lot. No doubt he was here visting Koga, since they were good friends. When I reached the door, I pulled out my keys and let myself in. I was instantly greeted by my loyal, but annoying, friend, Jaken. "Lord Sesshoumaru!" he cried as he ran over to me.
"Jaken," was my response. I shut the door and walked further into the apartment to see that Koga and Muso were sitting at the breakfast table playing cards.
"Well if it isn't the Lord," Muso said to me with a smug smile. I didn't too much care for Muso. He was cocky and arrogant, to say the least. But he was Koga's friend, so I had to put up with him for the time being.
"Hello Muso," I replied as I walked past the spider half breed and towards the refridgerator to get me a Gatorade.
"Hey Sess, some of the guys are coming over for poker tonight. You playing?" Koga asked as I took a seat beside him. I shook my head no.
"I'm spending time with Naima tonight."
"Again Lord Sesshoumaru?" Jaken asked, "that girl has seemed to have you jaded M'Lord. You don't spend as much time with us like you used to."
"I'd have to agree with the little green dude, Sesshoumaru," Muso added, "that kitten's got you whipped big time."
"No such thing," I replied, "Naima and I are a couple. That is what couples do. They spend time together."
"Well you must really have a thing for her considering that she has yet to come out of your bedroom looking different than when she entered," Koga said with a smile. I slightly narrowed my eyes at my wolf demon friend. Muso let out a light chuckle.
"You mean you haven't hit that yet man?"
"That is a private matter that I'd rather not discuss."
"We're all grown men who know all about sex. There is nothing private in this college. You ought to know that by now.
"Amen to that," Koga said as he drew a card from the deck, "I mean, as soon as Ayame found out that I was trying to hook up with Kagome, she broke up with me in a flash. And what's so bad about it, is that she found out before I even had the chance to tell her."
"Well that is you and your relationship," I said with a slight smirk, remembering how Ayame slashed Koga's tires and keyed his car last year, "Naima and I are different. There is absolutely no outside interferance in our relationship"
"Bullshit," Muso declared, "there is always somebody that will try to steal your woman away from you in a relationship. Everytime. So if you aren't the one chasing or being chased, you better believe that Naima is being chased by someone."
"He makes a good point, Lord Sesshoumaru," Jaken said, "I mean, what about that Naraku fellow?" I put my drink down on the table and gave him a hard look.
"What about him?"
"He and Naima seemed really chummy during class today, M'Lord. A little i too /i chummy in my humble opinion. He might be the one who is chasing after her"
"Ridiculous. Naima and Naraku are simply friends. Nothing more." Koga and Muso then both busted out into laughter.
"Sessho," Koga said, "men and women cannot be 'just friends'." I slightly raised an eyebrow at him.
"And why not?"
"Because if they remain friends for long enough, something is bound to happen."
"Ridiculous."
"So you mean to tell me that if given the opportunity, you wouldn't screw one of your female friends? You don't even have to go through with it, just thinking about it is proof enough."
"Absolutely not."
"You wouldn't screw Sara?"
"She is a human."
"Yura?"
"Not my type."
"Kagura?"
"Ewww no man, don't bring my cousin into this," Muso interrupted with a disgusted look. Koga laughed in reply.
"Well? Would you, with Kagura?"
"Okay, first of all, Kagura and Naima are too close of friends for me to hurt her like that. And second, this whole conversation is pointless because there is no other woman that I find sexually attractive right now but Naima." Koga laughed again.
"Well either you're the best boyfriend in the world or you're just like Jakotsu. Either way, I'm pretty sure that Naraku doesn't think like you. I mean, didn't what I told you this morning sink in yet?" I remembered that Koga was the one who told me that Naraku and Naima used to date.
"What Naima and Naraku had in the past is just that. It's in the past. They were only thirteen then. They are nineteen now and they've had a lot of growing up to do. Naima's gotten over him."
"Still Sesshomaru, you need to check your girl's bestfriend. He might be trying to get something started again with her. Or he might just be after her skirt."
"Oh he's already gotten that," Muso said while staring down at his cards. Every eye at the table went directly to him. I stared at him with slightly raised eyebrows.
"What did you just say?" I asked, a little irritated now. He just smirked again.
"You heard me right. Naraku has already made your little kitty kat purr."
"What?!"
"Naraku has already had your woman, Sesshoumaru. He slept with her the day he left Brooklyn."
"And how do you know all this, Muso?" Koga asked.
"I'm his big brother and we did live in the same house. I was at the park one day playing ball with my friends, but I forgot my glove. So I came home to get it, and I overheard them."
"You might have been mistaken," I said, trying to persuade myself that this wasn't true.
"Oh no. You can't mistake those noises. Plus, he begged me to leave the house so they could be alone." I sank back into the chair, now overwhelmed by what the spider hanyou had just told me about his younger brother. So not only did Naraku and Naima date, but they were intimate as well? I already knew that Naima wasn't a virgin, but I didn't know that he was the one who took it. If it had been anyone else, it probably wouldn't have bothered me so much. But here he was back in her life and I was foolish enough to allow him to take my girlfriend out alone. Why didn't Naima just tell me herself instead of me having to find out on the street. I asked her this morning if there was anything else I should know and she said that there wasn't. So she lied and kept that secret from me. She should have just told me. I really needed some time to think this over. Unfortunately, I was picking her up in an hour.
