A/N: lol...thank you all again for reviewing my little twisted fruit chapter : ).
Okay so now that Naraku's dirty thoughts and big mouth have preceeded him, what will his girlfriend do now?...
Tsubaki's POV
"My dear, please don't be cross," Naraku begged me the next morning as I dressed for school.
"Ha! Whatever," I said as buttoned up my blouse, "next time don't confuse me with some other woman."
"Tsubaki I didn't mean to call you by Naima's name."
"Yes you did because you were fantasizing about her. I mean, there's no way that you got us confused because we're not anything alike."
"I know Tsubaki, just hear me out," he pleaded as he put on the new sneakers that I bought him. I sighed as I crossed my arms and gave him an expectant look. He stopped lacing his all white Nikes and looked up at me. "I'm sorry Tsubaki. Maybe I was fantasizing a little, but you know that you're special to me. You're so sweet, loving, kind, and honest. You've always been such a good friend to me and an even better girlfriend. Please believe me when I say that I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." I tried my best to maintain my indifferent composure, but Naraku was always so cute when he apologized. Before I knew it, I found myself smiling a little. I sighed deeply.
"Alright," I gave in, "you're forgiven. But don't you dare let it happen again." He finished lacing his sneakers and walked over to me.
"I won't. I promise," he said in that deep, sexy voice before planting a kiss on my forehead. I stared into his red eyes and smiled again. He smiled too. He reached down and picked his back pack up off of the floor. "Let's go," he said as he slung it over his shoulder and stretched a hand out to me. I took it and followed him out of his bedroom.
Naima's POV
Boy, I have to say that it was really awkward sitting next to Naraku the following day in Spell Casting class, considering the passionate encounter that we had just had the other day. We never once made direct eye contact as we listened to Urasue-Sensei lecture us about demon bees or something like that. Like always, I really wasn't paying attention. I was busy doodling in my notebook as I rested my head in my hand as I leaned on the desktop. I was drawing flowers and smiley faces. Why? I didn't know, but for some reason I just felt like drawing them.
"Why are you so quiet around me today?" Naraku leaned over and whispered in my ear. I looked up from my doodle and breifly locked my eyes on his before returning my gaze to the paper below me.
"I think you know why," I replied as I shaded in the eyes of a smiley face.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come on that strongly yesterday. I honestly couldn't help it." I scoffed at him.
"Yeah right."
"I'm serious. Don't you be mad at me too. I already got one pissed woman to deal with. I don't need two." I looked up again from my drawing and gave him a questioning look.
"What are you talking about?" He sighed deeply.
"Last night, when Tsubaki and I were...you know, I kind of said something that I shouldn't have." I smiled at him, very interested now.
"What did you say?"
"Well, I kind of called out the wrong name." I pressed my lips together trying to hold in my laughter. I would have loved to have seen her face when Naraku did that. Too funny.
"Well, what did she do?"
"She slapped me and pretty much cussed me out." I startled to giggle out loud then.
"Naima! Is there something that you would like to share with us?" Urasue-Sensei sternly said to me, wiping the smile off of my face.
"Uh...no. No ma'am," I respectfully said. She narrowed her eyes at me again before turning back to the whiteboard. As soon as she turned back around, Naraku and I began to talk again. "Well, that's not as bad as what happened to me and Sess last night." He raised his eyebrows with interest.
"What happened?"
"Koga and Jaken walked in on us." His face twisted into an expression of amusement.
"Ahh that makes me feel a little better," he declared, "you must have been pretty embarrassed."
"Hell yeah. I wanted to just die right then. It was horrible, although it could have been worse."
"What did Sesshoumaru do?"
"Aww you know him. He played all cool, like he wasn't even embarrassed at all. In fact he just took me back to his room and we picked up where we left off, although my romantic mood had pretty much been destroyed." Naraku began to snicker but stopped when Urasue-Sensei began to turn around again.
"I can't imagine what we would have done if my father or Muso had walked in on us." I smiled even bigger thinking about that day we shared.
"I think that we would probably be dead right now, because your father would have killed you and my father would have killed me after killing you." His smile grew too.
"Nonsense. Rashid-San would have preferred it to be me instead of some punk ass ruffneck." I held back my laughter as I remembered that that's what my Kurohyougami daiyokai father, Rashid, used to tell me and my sisters. 'Don't bring me home some punk ass ruffneck or I'll have to go to jail.' That's what he used to tell us on a weekly basis. He also used to warn Naraku to stay away from the 'fast little girls'. My father was always fond of my best friend and treated him like the son he never had.
"Naaah. I still think that daddy would have killed you. You know that he was very strict."
"Yeah. Can't argue with that," Naraku agreed with a smile.
Tsubaki's POV
Even though I had forgiven Naraku earlier for what he did last night, I began to get angry again as I saw how he and Naima were acting, right in front of me, like I wasn't even in the classroom. I gritted my teeth as I gripped on my pencil with a shattering hold. This really pissed me off. Naima already had a boyfriend, so why couldn't Naraku just get over her? Oh I had really had enough of this. I was going to break them up once and for all. As soon as I was sure that Urasue-Sensei's back was turned, I whipped out my cell and sent Yura a text message.
Yura, meet me and Abi in the library after track practice. I need you to do something for me.
"Tsubaki? Are you alright sweetie?" Yura asked me when she walked over to the table that Abi and I were sitting at.
"Did you do what I asked?" I inquired as she sat down across from us, after sitting her things on the floor.
"Of course darling," she smirked as she reached over and gave me Naima's gold friendship necklace. I smiled as I took it into my hands.
"How did you get it off?" Abi asked before I had a chance too.
"I stole it when she was in the lockeroom shower. She had taken it off." I chuckled.
"What luck. It seems as if things are in my favor. Did she notice it was missing?"
"Yes, but I don't think that she suspects that I took it."
"Excellent. So we must hurry and return it before her radar goes off." I reached inside of my bookbag and pulled out a jar that contained some of Naraku's blood. I took it from him last night while he was sleeping. I was still very pissed at him and anticipated on having to cast another spell since he had the odasity to call out Naima's name. I opened the top of the jar and put the necklace into it. I then set it on the table and began to recite the proper chant. Slowly but surely, my boyfriend's blood began to fuse with the necklace until it disappeared completely. I opened the jar back up and gave the necklace back to Yura. "Put this back somewhere in the lockeroom before track practice begins tomorrow. Then she'll never know you took it." Yura took the necklace back into her hands and stared at it with awe.
"I've never actually seen you cast a spell first hand. That was pretty awesome. How do you get them to work so well?" she declared.
"My spells only enhance already present emotions in people."
"What do you mean?"
"Say for instance that Abi was secretly jealous of my relationship with Naraku, but she repressed her jealous emotions just so she wouldn't have conflict with me. If I were to cast one of my curses or spells on her, her jealousy would immediately rise and overtake the rest of her feelings. Same thing goes for Naraku and Naima. All I need is the smallest, negative feeling and bam! It all blows up into their faces."
"So what did you do?" Abi asked.
"Meh, a very simple spell. If that necklace breaks, then the friendship will break. Simple as that."
"So how do you know it will work this time?"
"It's an elementary spell. Very basic and not as complicated as the ones I placed before. I'm sure that it will work. I know it. All I need for you to do, Yura, is break her necklace."
"Okay," Yura squealed as she positioned her hands around the chain.
"Hold it, hold it," I cried stopping her, "she needs to wear it first, so the spell can take effect. Give it a few days and then break it."
"Why me?"
"Because y'all are track team mates, so you'll be in closer contact with her than Abi, Muso, or I would be. Just do it for me. Pleeease." Yura sighed before nodding her head in agreement. She put the necklace inside her purse before getting up from the table.
"Where are you going?" Abi asked. She smiled as she picked up the rest of her stuff.
"Hiten and I have a date tonight. I'll see you two beautiful girls later. Bye loves." We both waved goodbye to Yura as she left. A few seconds later, Abi looked at her watch.
"I guess I better go too. I've got to go to work in an hour," she declared.
"Okay. I need to stay here and study anyways," I replied.
"Are you sure that you know what you're getting yourself into? If Naraku finds out that you have been lying to him and manipulating him, he is going to be extremely pissed." I chuckled at my worrying friend.
"Chill Abi. He won't find out because no one else knows about what I've done." Abi sighed deeply.
"Alright Tsubaki. Just be careful, okay?"
"I'll be fine. Don't worry." She nodded her head as she got up and left too.
Unknown Person's POV #2
So that's how she does it. She places curses on Naima and Naraku's friendship necklaces. Hmph. I was wondering how they didn't realize that their minds were being manipulated. They love those necklaces so much that they rarely take them off. That Tsubaki sure is a sneaky one. In fact, she was the one who cursed my relationship with Inuyasha. She told me that if I fell in love with a half demon, he would leave me for another woman. Sure enough, Inuyasha is with Kagome now, although I can tell that he still has some feelings for me too. Tsubaki was quite the piece of work. She doesn't care who she has to hurt in order to get what she wants. I remembered that I had overheard her trying to convince Sesshoumaru to join her that day in the coffee shop, when I was having lunch with Suikotsu. And even back in eigth grade when I passed her that day in the hall, I noticed that she was up to something then. Ha! What a deceiving tramp she is. And poor Naraku doesn't even have a clue that the woman he's sleeping with is the same woman who broke him and his one true love up. He is literally sleeping with the enemy. I never have been too fond of Naraku ever since he tried to come between me and Inuyasha back in sixth grade, but I had always liked Naima. She was a very sweet woman and a hopeless romantic, someone who didn't deserve to be tricked like this. Tsubaki needs to get what's coming to her and I think it's time that Naraku finds out the truth.
A/N: Hmmm. I wonder who that could be??
