A/N: Thanks for all of the reviews!!! Awww you guys really make me happy, lol. So it seems like Naima and Naraku still have a little somethin' somethin' between them, although Sesshoumaru and Naima's relationship might just be a lil' stronger. Or is it? We'll just have to see. ...Oh yeah the song lyrics are from Common's "I Used to Love H.E.R.". I just thought that the words kind of fit.
I met this girl when I was ten years old,
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She was old school, when I was just a shorty,
Never knew throughout my life she would be there for me
Naraku's POV
It was about twelve when I woke up the next morning. I was still a little tired from the night before. The party ended around three am but Bankotsu and I didn't come home until about four thirty. As I opened my eyes, I immediately heard the tv blaring in the livingroom. Maybe it wasn't as loud as I thought, but I was still a little hung over from the party. I pulled myself out of bed and took a quick shower and redressed before going into the livingroom. "About time you woke up man," Bankotsu said when he saw me. He was sitting on the couch watching the football game preshow on the big screen. "You shouldn't drink so much Budwiser."
"How long have you been up?" I asked as I sat down on the couch with him.
"Since about nine thirty."
"Where's Jakotsu?" Just as I asked my question, my flamboyant friend walked through the door with a huge smile plastered on his face.
"Good morning guys," he said, sickingly happy.
"Where have you been all night and how come you weren't at the party last night?" Bankotsu asked, giving his slightly older brother the third degree.
"I was with Yusuke," he answered as he sat down beside Bankotsu, "I got a little...preoccupied, so I couldn't make it to the party."
"No details this time, please," Bankotsu demanded, stopping his brother before he could tell us what happened.
"Aww you're no fun. So what did I miss at the party?"
"Ahhh not much. Just dancing, drinking, food, Inuyasha getting thrown in a mud pit. You know, the usual."
"Inuyasha got thrown in a mud pit?! Aww that poor thing. I must give him a hug the next time I see him."
"Yeah...you do that."
"So did you have a good time, Naraku?"
"Yeah, I had an okay time," I replied.
"Oh he had a good time alright," Bankotsu said as he turned to me with a big smile on his face, "Silk is no joke."
"What are you talking about Bankotsu?" Jakotsu asked his brother.
"I purposely played Naraku and Naima's song so they would dance together and hopefully realize that they belong with each other. It was perfect too because Sesshoumaru wasn't there either, so I just had to spin that record."
"You do know that you was wrong and that Naima is going to kill you when she sees you," I asked my meddling friend.
"Why is that? She seemed like she was enjoying herself. Well, until Sessho broke you two up. She was practically putty in your hands, Naraku, and your stupid ass didn't capitalize on it."
On the regular, not a church girl, she was secular
Not about the money, no studs were mic checking her
But I respected her, she hit me in the heart
A few New York brothas had did her in the park
"We're not like that anymore, Bankotsu."
"That's BS and you know it too. Jakotsu, you should have seen them. They still have that chemistry like they used to. Its like the room temperature heats up about ten degrees whenever those two are around each other. Y'all still have that fire and don't even deny it."
"I won't deny that I still have feelings for her, but I don't know if last night was real or if she was just caught up in the moment."
"It only takes one moment to fall back in love, Naraku. Naima still wants you, she just doesn't want to admit it."
"Now who's been watching Oprah?" Bankotsu laughed in reply.
"I'm serious man. Look, I asked Naima the other day that if Sesshoumaru wasn't around would she give you another chance and she said...well, she didn't exactly say yes BUT she didn't say no either."
"So your point is..."
"My point is that she didn't say no. And as long as there isn't a 'no', then you still have a chance. So take the chance got dammit and give me some god babies." I busted out into laughter.
But she was there for me, and I was there for her
Pull out a chair for her, turn on the air for her
And just cool out, cool out and listen to her
Sittin on bone, wishing that I could do her
Eventually, if it was meant to be then it would be
Because we related, physically and mentally
And she fun then, I'd be geeked when she'd come around
Slim was fresh yo, when she was underground
"You are losing your mind, Bankotsu. Okay, even if she didn't say no, the fact still remains that there is Sesshoumaru in the picture. Naima isn't going to just betray him like that just to get back with me. She's too good of a person to do that."
"You disappoint me Naraku."
"And why is that?"
"Whatever happened to that legendary spider demon venom, huh? I mean, I know that being around Naima has softened you up a little, but this is ridiculous. Where is that mean streak that you have? That 'I-don't-give-a-damn' attitude? The Naraku that I knew would never let someone walk in on his territory, let alone take his woman from him. You are going out like a chump, dude."
"Well what am I supposed to do? I lost my territory of my own accord and she probably doesn't want me back anyways. I messed up and I don't even know why or how I did it. Yes I still love Naima and yes I want her back, but the fact still remains that I fucked our relationship up and it probably will never be like it was."
"You have to try Naraku. Don't get me wrong, I like Sesshoumaru and I think that he's an okay dude for Naima, but she doesn't deserve just 'okay'. She deserves the best and you do too. I'm going to tell you what my father told me. You're lucky just to find one love in your life and if she's a good woman, you need to do everything in your power to keep her. You will never find a better woman for you than Naima, Naraku, no matter how hard you try. You told her the other day to talk to Sesshoumaru about their issues, but you won't even talk to her about your own issues. Stop playing around and go get your woman before Sesshoumaru makes her his mate. Then it will be too late."
"And if that doesn't work Naraku, you can always come join my team," Jakotsu said with a smile. I just laughed his response off.
"I hear what you're saying Bankotsu, but I still just don't know. I don't want to cause Naima to have drama in her life. That's selfish on my part." My long time friend just let out a deep sigh.
"Fine Naraku, don't listen to me. Don't let your mean streak out and take your woman. But trust me, you can only play the nice guy for so long. Soon, you're going to get tired of seeing Sesshoumaru kiss and hug what belongs to you. Then, and trust me when I say this, you're going to let that spider venom take over and take your woman back. And I'll just stand there and say 'I told you so .'"
Original, pure untampered and down sister
Boy I tell ya, I miss her
A/N: Well I hoped you all like it. I'll try the song lyric thing again whenever I find a song that fits.
