A/N: Hee hee. Thank you all so much for the reviews. I'm glad you liked my lemon.
Naraku fan girls: We didn't!
Me: dodges rocks thrown by the Naraku fan girls...Hey, I'm one of you! Calm down dudettes! (and a few dudes, lol)
Okay, back to business, lol. So now that Naima and Sesshoumaru have gotten their freak on, how will they act toward one another?...
After Sesshoumaru and I had finished consumating our relationship, we began to redress so we could meet Amaya and the children at Lanier Park like we promised. As I watched Sesshoumaru put his clothes back on, I envied how he was able to hide his emotions so well. You would have never known that we had did what we did by looking at him. I knew that my face said otherwise, for I was currently on cloud nine. Never before had I felt so good as I did right now. After he finished buttoning up his shirt, I walked over and hugged him from behind. "You do know that I love you so much, right?" I asked.
"I'm aware," was his simple reply.
"Well I think that I love you even more now. If that's even possible." He broke free and turned around to face me directly. He reached down and put my coat on over my naked upper half. It was all that I had now, since he ripped my other tops to shreds. After he zipped me up, he cupped my cheeks in his hands. He leaned down and gave me the sweetest kiss on the lips.
"Come. We must be off," he said when he broke it.
"Coming," I said as I followed him out of the now spotless room, ready to head out into the cold Queens night.
Meanwhile in Brooklyn...
Naraku's POV
"Mmm, something smells good," I said as I walked inside of the kitchen late that evening. Tsubaki turned around and smiled at me.
"It's almost ready baby," she sweetly said as she stirred the food in the pot on the stove.
"Oh great, because I'm starving," I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her cheek. She giggled at my touch. Having Tsubaki around was a definite improvement in my life. Even though a large part of my heart still belonged to Naima, Tsubaki was beginning to grow on me. She was sweet, smart, loving, not to mention a wonderful lover. Tsubaki was indeed a great girl, yet, she still didn't quite measure up to my best friend.
"All done," Tsubaki declared as she turned the stove off before turning around and planting a big kiss on my lips.
"Mmm. I hope this food tastes as good as you," I smirked when I broke this kiss after a few moments. She giggled again as she motioned for me to go sit down at the table. I oblidged her and sat while she brought two plates of spaghetti over to the table before sitting down herself. I licked my lips as I eyed the warm meal in front of me. I took a fork and sampled some of my girlfriend's cooking. "Mmmm. My dear you have really outdone yourself this time," I said with a smile as I looked her directly in the eyes.
"I'm glad that you like it Naraku," she smiled back.
"Oh you know that I like your cooking. Better than what I can do anyways. I just hope that I can have my favorite desert afterwards." I winked at her while I held an evil grin on my face. She just gave me the same evil grin.
"Only if you're a good boy."
"I'd rather be naughty."
"Oh stop it and eat your food." I laughed in reply. As we continued to eat, the door to the kitchen suddenly swung open, as Bankotsu eased himself in. It kind of took me by suprise for I thought that he would be at basketball practice that night.
"Wow. Dude something smells right in here," he said as he eyed the pot of spaghetti on the stove.
"Hey man. What are you doing here? I thought that you had practice."
"Oh. No, coach ended up cancelling at the last minute. Say can I have some of this?" Tsubaki and I looked at each other before turning our eyes back on Bankotsu.
"Of course you can Bankotsu," Tsubaki sighed as she rested her head in her hands. I smiled at her slightly for I new that she was disappointed that my best man was now here with us. We had both expected to be alone tonight. Plus, it also didn't help that Bankotsu and Tsubaki didn't really get along that well.
"Soooo...what are you two doing?" Bankotsu asked as he pulled up a chair and sat at the table with us.
"Eating. Obviously," Tsubaki replied in a 'duh' tone. Bankotsu narrowed his eyes at her.
"Well excuse me. Damn, I just asked a question."
"And I just gave you an answer."
"Uhhh, Bankotsu," I interupted before this became a big arguement, "Tsubaki and I were kind of hoping to be alone tonight. I hope you understand." Bankotsu exchanged glances from me to Tsubaki back to me. He sighed defeated.
"...Very well. I guess that I'll be in my room. I'll leave you two lovebirds alone now," he dramatically said as he got his plate of food and drink and left. After he was gone, I turned back to Tsubaki and smiled.
"Sorry about that."
"It's okay my love," she replied with the same smile, "let's just enjoy the rest of our dinner so you can get your well deserved treat." I smiled again, absolutely loving how she would make those seductive comments of hers. She definitely was a confident woman who knew what she wanted. Not nearly as shy as I once thought that she was.
After dinner, Tsubaki and I went back to my bedroom. We laid on top of my covers, cuddling up next to each other on this cold December night. We stared up at the ceiling talking about random things. "Naraku? Do you think that I'm beautiful?" she all of a sudden asked me. I looked at her right in the teal eyes and smiled.
"Of course."
"How beautiful."
"As beautiful as new money." She giggled a little.
"Yeah, that is pretty beautiful. Do you think that I'm sexy?"
"Yes."
"Do you think that I'm a good person?"
"Mmmhmm."
"Do you think that I woud make a good wife?" My eyes slightly widened at that question. Hold up a minute...wife? We had only been dating for two months and she was already on marriage?!
"Uhhhh...Tsubaki..."
"Calm down Naraku. I didn't mean us. I just meant, in general. Am I wife material?"
"Well. Each man looks for different things, so it's all a matter of preference."
"Do you prefer my type?" I held my tongue, not sure how to answer her question. Her type was good, but there was another type that I liked better.
"Why so serious tonight my dear?" I asked, trying my best to change the subject. "You must have all the fun you can right now. No need to settle down at the moment. Now is the time that you should be playing the field. Just like how I want to play with you right now." And without warning, I rolled her over on her back as I nibbled playfully on her neck. She giggled wildly.
"Stop Naraku. That tickles." I ignored her as I continued my playful teasing. "Quit it Naraku. Stop," she laughed as she tried to push me off of her. I finally gave in as I rolled off of her and sighed.
"Aww, I wanted to have some fun," I whined with a sly grin on my face. Tsubaki pressed her lips together, trying to hold back another laugh
"Okay Naraku. Let me go slip into something more comfortable," she said as she rolled off of my bed, with a black chemise in her hands. She went into my bathroom and closed the door.
Tsubaki's POV
I smiled to myself as I began to undress in order to redress for another night of fun with my new boyfriend. I felt utterly good inside, knowing that the spell that I had cast upon Naraku's necklace was indeed working just fine. Even though they were still friends, Naraku and Naima didn't spend as much time together as they used to. That was absolutely perfect because the less time he spent with her, the more time he spent with me. It wouldn't be long before he felt completely in love with me.
As I stared into Naraku's bathroom mirror, checking to make sure that everything was in it's place, I began to hear the vibrating sound coming from my cell phone in my jeans pocket. I bent down and pulled the small phone out of my pants only to see that it was Naraku's older brother that was calling me. "What is it Muso?" I asked when I answered the phone.
"You failed me Tsubaki!" he hissed. I furrowed my eyebrows a bit.
"What do you mean?"
"The spell that you put on Kikyo in order to get her to fall in love with me is wearing off."
"That's impossible. I put the same spell on her as I did on Naraku and my relationship is going fine. Kikyo was supposed to forget about Inuyasha just as Naraku was supposed to forget about Naima. So I don't see how your spell is wearing off so easily."
"Well it is! Kikyo is becoming more and more detached from me and I even heard her whisper Inuyasha's name while she was sleeping."
"Kikyo gave it up to you?!" I asked a little shocked. Kikyo didn't really seem like the kind to just give it up to anybody.
"No...it's a long story...anyways, your little spell isn't working."
"Well, I'll see what I can do about it then. I got to go right now though."
"Why?"
"I'm a little busy."
"With what?"
"Your brother. Bye." I hung up the phone without giving Muso a chance to reply. I felt a little confused as to why the spell I placed on Kikyo wasn't as sucessful as the one I put on Naraku. Oh well. Muso's problems were of little concern to me right now for I had a hot, irresistable half demon waiting for me in the other room. I went to the sink and turned on the cold water. I cupped the water into my hands as it fell from the faucet and splashed some onto my face. I then took a towel and wiped the excess liquid away. As I stood there in front of the mirror, cleaning my face, I noticed something pink hanging out of Naraku's clothes hamper behind me. 'Naraku doesn't have anything pink and I don't remember leaving something that color over here. I thought as I slowly turned around. I eyed the pink garmet suspiciously as I walked over to the hamper. I opened the top of the hamper and pulled out a hot pink sweater with an Ecko Red logo on it. My jaw dropped as I knew that I never owned any Ecko brand clothes, but I knew one girl that did. I had remembered seeing Naima wear this to class on Friday. Which had to mean that she was over here at Naraku's house last night!
Naraku's POV
I laid in my warm bed with nothing on but boxers waiting patiently for Tsubaki to come out of the bathroom. 'What could be taking her?' I thought as I stared up at the ceiling. Just then, the door to my bathroom swung open only to reveal a provocatively dressed Tsubaki who looked like she was ready to slice me in half. I sat straight up in bed as I raised my eyebrows a bit. "What's wrong Tsubaki?"
"What the hell is this?!" she snapped as she threw a bright pink garmet at my face. Startled, I picked the sweater up and knew right then and there why she was mad at me.
"Listen...Tsubaki..."
"Have you been stepping out on me with Naima, Naraku?"
"Tsubaki, you have to hear me out..."
"Why is her sweater in your clothes hamper? Was she in your room too?!"
"Tsubaki! Just listen for a moment okay." Her face was red and she was breathing heavily, but she finally closed her mouth. "The other day, Naima came over here so I could help her with some homework. We ended up staying up really late and Naima was so tired that I thought that it was best if she just spent the night. She slept in here and I slept on the couch. Nothing happened between us.
"Why do you have some other woman sleeping in your bed Naraku?!"
"Tsubaki, she's my best friend."
"I know that, but I'm your girlfriend and NOBODY is supposed to sleep in here but ME!"
"Tsubaki, you're over reacting sweetheart. Calm down my dear. Come here."
"No." I ignored her answer and walked over to her. I wrapped my arms around her anrgy and heated body. I rested my head ontop of hers.
"I promise you that nothing happened. It was totally innocent." I sat down on my bed and pulled her into my lap.
"Still Naraku, there are boundaries in a relationship. No other woman should be able to come in here but me. I know that you and Naima are friends, but you are also each other's exes. You have to see where I'm coming from."
"I will try to understand, but you mustn't throw such a tantrum my dear. How am I going to get you in the mood when you're all worked up like this."
"Naraku I..." I put a finger to her lips, cutting her off.
"Shhhh," I said as I removed the hair away from her neck and began to kiss it. She moaned at my touch, but suddenly broke away. She looked down at me with soft eyes.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you. I'll make it up to you. Just let me freshen up a bit."
"Alright. Take all the time you need," I said as I allowed her to get off of my lap. When she closed the door to my bathroom, I flopped back on my bed, letting out a big sigh. I hated that I had made Tsubaki upset like that, but the truth was even though I wasn't being unfaithful to her physically, I was both mentally and in my heart. I couldn't tell Tsubaki the truth about how I wasn't over Naima yet. I knew that the human woman was in love with me, so I couldn't tell her the truth. I couldn't tell her that even though she was where I was currently at, my best friend was where I wanted to be.
Tsubaki's POV
I let out a big sigh as I tried to get a grip on my emotions. I didn't mean to go off on Naraku like that but it pissed me off to see that bitch's clothes in his room. So, it seems as if my spell wasn't as successful as I thought. Ugh! What a mood killer. I paced the bathroom floor thinking about how my spell could have failed. Naraku never takes off that necklace that was stained with Naima's blood, so what went wrong?! Hmm...it seemed as if that I would need some assistance in my plans. But who? Who would be able to help me keep Naraku and Naima apart. Ah! That's it. I picked up the phone that I had left on Naraku's sink and dialed up Muso's number.
"Hello?" he gruffly asked.
"Muso, listen, I will fix the spell that I placed upon Kikyo only if you do me this one favor." He sighed again.
"...What is it this time?"
"I need you to get me Sesshoumaru's number."
A/N: Ha ha. Poor dude. Naraku almost got cut, lol
