A/N: Wooo yeah, I'm back. I feel much better and I can finally wriet something, lol. Okay, so this is a filler chapter because I wanted to prolong the suspense of Naima's decision (...plus...I couldn't think of anything else), but Naraku and Sesshoumaru will return next chappie. Plus I think Naima needs some rest after the awesome love that she and the dog demon made, lol

Naraku: growls at author

Me: Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oh yeah wish me luck you guys for tomorrow I start college! Yeah I'll be a lowly freshman! WOOO FRESHMEAT, lol!! But the happy thing is, is that I only have classes on Mon., Wed., and Fri. How sweet is that!


The first week of May went by extremely quickly. It wouldn't be long before spring semester ended and before I had to tell Naraku and Sesshoumaru my decision. I dreaded having to be put in such a position. I hated that I had to hurt one of the two most important men in my life. I was still stuck between the dog demon and the spider demon. Who do I choose? My bestfriend or my ex?

"Naima are you in?!" My little sister called out to me as I sat on the front porch of our late father's home, drinking some lemonade. It was a very nice late spring Saturday and my family and I were outside having a small cookout. Tarei, Haikaru, and Katsu's fifteen year old niece, Lauren, were all playing with Super Soakers.

"Umm...yeah...I'll join in shortly," I replied with a wave of my hand. Tarei nodded her head and resumed back to chasing Lauren around.

"Mmm, look at you trying to be all sophisticated. You know that you want to play with the water guns," Li said with a smirk as she held her month old daughter in her lap. I turned to my older sister and rolled my eyes, although she couldn't see it through the sunglasses I was wearing.

"No I am not. I said that I'd play with them in a minute."

"Since when do you hesitate to play with Super Soakers? I remember when Daddy used to fuss at you, Naraku, and Tarei because you all would use the garden hose and used to make the lawn all muddy." I giggled a little, remembering that.

"Oh yeah, he would wouldn't he? 'Don't waste all my water like that! Have you kids lost your minds?! Hell, you don't pay any bills around here!'." Li laughed as I imitated our father's rants.

"Oh man, he did used to say that. Oh and how about when he got onto us that time because we coated Tarei in flour to make her look like a ghost and made her stand outside all night for Halloween?" I laughed even louder.

"Oh yeah. I remember that. That was the same year when Naraku got mad at you because you told him that he was supposed to dress up as Spiderman and not Superman."

"And the little bastard said, 'Then maybe you should go as Catwoman instead of a princess so you can wear a mask to hide all of that ugly'. "

"And then you chased him down the block with a bat." We both started laughing then. "That was so mean for you to do thatto him on his birthday Li."

"Well he shouldn't have called me ugly. Do you remember when Daddy took us all to that haunted house for Naraku's birthday, and you and Naraku cried during the whole thing."

"Hey hey. We were only seven and eight at the time. We didn't know that those skeletons were fake." Li giggled at me. I rolled my eyes behind my shades and smiled back at her. "Okay, since you're picking on me, how about that time when you were eleven, and Daddy gave both you and that boy a whooping because you two kissed each other?"

"I don't think that was fair because he let you and Naraku kiss on the lips."

"Correction. He let us kiss on the cheek. He never caught us kissing on the lips. We weren't dumb enough to kiss around the house. That was the difference between you and I. Plus, I was the innocent daughter." Li busted out into laughter.

"Yeah right mami. You gave it up at an earlier age than I did. I was seventeen when I lost my virginity. You were only thirteen." I took my shades off and looked at my sister in the eyes.

"You're lying." She smiled and shook her head.

"No I'm not. Daddy always assumed that because I had boys over while he was at work that I was having sex with them. I never did sleep with any of them, although I came close to it several times. But I never did, because I was still very shy. I didn't lose my virginity until junior year in high school at the prom." I smirked as I tried to remember in my head who it was that Li went to her first prom with. Then it hit me. My eyebrows, eyes, and mouth all widened.

"You gave it up to Hojo?!" Li's very light brown skin instantly became as red as her eyes.

"Ummm...yeah." I began to laugh at her expense.

"Were you drunk or just desperate?"

"Aww c'mon, you know that Hojo was cute."

"Yeah he was, but he's just so...timid." Li smirked.

"Oh well, he got the job done." I smirked back at her.

"He was good huh?"

"Do birds fly?"

"Oooooo! I'm telling Katsu."

"Oh no no mami. Did you ever tell Sesshoumaru that Naraku had you screaming to the ceiling?" Now it was my turn to grow a red tint. Li giggled. "Oh wait, it could have been the other way around. Maybe it was Sesshoumaru who had you screaming."

"Now...now you know its not even like that."

"Mmmhmm. Suuuuure. How come my little sister is scared to share her business? I told you mine. I thought you said that you were grown. So come on and spill the dirt. Who's the better lover? Sesshoumaru or Naraku?" I continued to blush as I took a big sip of lemonade.

"I'm not telling."

"Okay, then let's rate them. On a scale from one to ten, where did Naraku's sex rank? And be completely honest." I was quiet for a minute as I thought about it.

"What all are we ranking?" I asked. Li chuckled a little.

"Size, timelimit, scream factor, how hard he made you come, etc." I became quiet again as I thought about it some more.

"He's a ten." Li's eyebrow's rose.

"A ten? On his first try?! You're lying." I shook my head and smiled.

"Noooo I'm not. Naraku's first time was definitely a ten. It was a ten then and its a ten now."

"Okay, okay. So I see that you enjoyed your first time?"

"Yes I did."

"Alright, so where does Sesshoumaru rank?"

"Same factors apply?"

"Same factors." I took another big sip of lemonade before telling her my answer.

"On a scale from one to ten...Sesshoumaru's rank is about...five thousand, ninehundred and forty-six." Li howled in laughter, causing Lelia to give her mom a rather creeped out look. I giggled too.

"Okay enough about Sesshoumaru. Where does Hojo and my brother-in-law rank?" Li stopped laughing and had a thoughtful expression.

"Hojo was about an eight and Katsu is more like seven thousand, even." I giggled a little.

"So my first time was better than yours? Ha ha."

"I guess it was."

"I wonder what Sesshoumaru's first time was like? He told me that he lost his to some girl in Manhattan during summer break after ninth grade. He was only fifteen years old then. He told me that she was the only other girl that he's been with." I then became really quiet and really insecure as I thought about it. "I wonder if she was better in bed than me? I wonder...I wonder if Naraku thought that his lovers were better than me?"

"How many girls has Naraku had? Do you know?" I nodded my head.

"Yeah, he told me three. Me, Tsubaki, and this other girl he breifly dated while he was still in Japan."

"Oh. Well, that's not so bad. I would have thought that the little bastard would have had about ninety by now." I was still quiet as I nodded my head. Li leaned over and patted my shoulder. "Hey, I was just kidding."

"I know."

"Are you still feeling insecure because you think that their past lovers have better bedroom skills than you?"

"Yeah. I mean, I know that I'm just being paranoid, but I can't help it ya know? I'm sitting here rating them...they could be rating me too." Li laughed slightly.

"Men rate everything. Which woman has the better body, the prettiest smile, the cutest face, the biggest breasts or the biggest booty. Don't be insecure about it. Its just how things go. You're perfectly fine Naima."

"Yeah, but what if those other women were perfectly fine too?"

"Oh now you're just being ridiculous. If Naraku and Sesshoumaru thought that, then they would be with those other women, now wouldn't they?" My sister did make since in what she said, still...I couldn't help but feel just a little insecure.

"I'm going to go inside for a while," I declared as I got out of the folding chair.

"Okay. Can you take Lelia with you? She doesn't need to be out in this heat for long." I nodded my head and accepted the baby into my arms. I went inside and up to my room.


As Lelia laid on my bed beside me in her dream world, I couldn't help but stay in my harsh reality. I had gotten over my sexual insecurity, but I couldn't get over the fact that I had to make one of the most important decisions in my life in a matter of a few weeks. I wish that I could just make this whole situation disappear, but I knew that I couldn't. As I stroked my sleeping niece's orange tipped black hair, I couldn't help but to envy her a little. So sweet and so innocent. I remembered when there was a time when I was innocent like her. When I could just sleep my cares away and remain happy all of the time. How I wished for those days again. While I continued to stare up at the beautiful baby in my state of depression, there was a knock on my door. "Come in," I said. The door opened and Katsu walked in.

"Hey beautiful," he said to me with a smile. I smiled back at him.

"Hey bro." All of a sudden he gave me a confused look.

"Oh I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to my child." I sat up and threw a pillow at him. He laughed as he caught it. "I'm just kidding Naima." He walked over to me and sat down on my bed. He then handed me a glass bottle. I took it and looked it over.

"This is cognac." He chuckled as he lifted his sleeping daughter into his arms.

"I know. You looked like you could use a drink." I smirked at him.

"Does Li know that you're giving Hennessy to her nineteen year old sister?"

"Hell, you'll be twenty in July. So you're not that much underage." I smiled at him and opened the bottle. I took a big sip of the cognac.

"Thanks. I do need a drink."

"No problem. I also came up here to give you a little relationship advice." I smirked and cocked an eyebrow. Katsu was a very laid back and a very calm man. He wasn't the type to get into another's business, so I found it strange that he would be giving me advice on relationships.

"Okay. Shoot."

"Here is my advice. Don't keep stressing out about whether you should choose Naraku over Sesshoumaru or Sesshoumaru over Naraku. No matter what you do, somebody is going to end up hurt. It can't be avoided. Now as a man, I can tell when a guy truly loves a woman and when he doesn't and as far as I'm concerned, Naraku and Sesshoumaru both love you very much. But...I believe that one's love burns a little bit stronger than the other. I can see it in his eyes. But I'm not going to tell you who I think it is because its your decision and not anyone elses. So don't be influenced by Li's preference to Sesshoumaru and Tarei's preference to Naraku. Let Naima choose who Naima knows deep down in her heart is right. I just wanted you to know that you have a stable and loving man no matter which way you go and I know that he will do everything in his power to make you happy. So stop stressing over it. Okay?" I smiled and nodded my head.

"Okay. I'll try to stop worrying so much." Katsu smiled back as he patted my back.

"That's my little sis," he said as he got off of the bed with his daughter in his arms. "Dinner is ready if you want to come down. Just make sure that you get the Hennessy smell off of you first so Li won't beat me up tonight. Then again...I kind of like it when your sister is aggressive. The sex is phenomenal." I squinched my face up a little.

"Ewww. You guys are nas-ty." He turned around and smirked.

"Look who's talking. I heard you and wife ealier when you two were rating men's sexual skills." I could feel myself blushing.

"You heard us?! But you were standing by the grill!" I cried. Katsu then laughed.

"Uhhh, I'm a tiger demon. Remember?" He reached up and brushed his long black hair with orange tips behind his pointed ear and grabbed it. I continued to blush and hung my head. So embarrassed that my brother-in-law heard me talk about how good Naraku and Sesshoumaru were in bed.

"Well...you should be happy...she rated you as a seven thousand," I said with an awkward smile and shrugged my shoulders. He scoffed a little.

"Only a seven thousand? Hell, I'm more like one million."

"Ewww, just go."

"Okay, I'm going. Are you coming down to eat?"

"Yes. I'll be down in a few."

"Don't get drunk!" I giggled.

"I won't."

"Alright sweetie. Just remember what I said, okay? Things will work out whether you choose Sesshoumaru or Naraku. I'm sure that the one that you don't choose will find someone who can give him all the love that he needs. It will be okay." I nodded my head.

"Okay."

"Good. I love you pumpkin."

"I love you too...seven thousand."


A/N: Hmmm, I wonder what Sesshoumaru and Naraku would rank if they had a threesome? Hmm maybe I should write a Naraku x Sesshoumaru x Naima lemon. Hmm...

(I am just joking. I am so NOT writing a lemon like that. Nuh uh. That's waaaaay out of my league. I'd be blushing for weeks, lol)
