Chapter 4:

Naraku watched Inuyasha's every move from Kanna's mirror and when he saw the hanyou sink into the water, his heart pounded and his nerves went haywire. He knew of the other hanyou's condition, for he listened on the conversations that Inuyasha had with the flea demon, and the tiger demon. He knew where the other hanyou was and he didn't give a damn who saw him. He dressed in his most formal kimono, made sure his hair was in place, and looked towards his arsenal of weapons that decorated the walls. He smirked after a moment; he didn't need one he was one. He walked out of his palace and saw Kagura and Kanna waiting for him.

"What are you two doing here?" He asked, for the first time in his immortality, was genuinely surprised to see them there. Kagura didn't say a word, but Kanna supplied the answer.

"We're coming with you." She said softly. "You will need us." Naraku looked from Kanna to Kagura who nodded stiffly. Naraku sighed in defeat and waited for the girls to fall into step behind him. He didn't know what to expect upon his arrival but he didn't care. He just wanted to be with the other hanyou.

Kagura enlarged the feather in her hair and as they made their way to the palace in the clouds, Kagura noticed Naraku fidgeting, which was rare for a man of his caliber. He was acting….like a wife…..Kagura thought with a smirk. Aside from the PMSing, Kagura found her amusement in Naraku's new behavior. It was too funny to pass up. Kanna tried to pass her emotionless front but Kagura caught a smile on her face once or twice. She looked to the front of the palace and growled when she saw the main members of Inuyasha's pack. We have trouble….

Kagome was looking through her school books, taking the time that they were waiting for Inuyasha to catch up with her studies. She had Kiara and Shippo in her lap while Sango was sitting next to Miroku who decided to meditate after all. Kiara woke up and looked up, and saw the trio touching down. She left Kagome's lap to investigate. Kagome looked up and her mouth fell.

"Naraku," She said as she notched an arrow onto her bow and aimed for his heart. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm not here for you." The raven haired demon said sternly. "Where's Inuyasha?"

"It's none of your business," She said. "You are not welcome here."

"Hold your tongue human child." A chilling voice barked at her. "This is my home and I will not tolerate insolence nor bloodshed on my grounds." Everyone looked toward the voice and saw Sesshomaru's mother, looking cold and stern. She looked past the humans and to the trio who just arrived, dead on at the demon male.

"Ah, so you are my stepson's Beta." She said. "You are a bit early."

"Where is he?" Naraku asked. "I SAW what happened."

"How is that possible, your lands are far from mine…" She said. When he didn't answer, she looked at the little girl with the mirror. Ah, that's how he knows. "He is indisposed." She said. Naraku's eyes turned red, his demon side showing but it didn't faze the demoness.

"You don't frighten me child." She said. "You can PMS and rage all you wish but it won't work on me."

"Where is he?"

"You will not see him until HE is ready to see YOU. Remember your place, Beta. You will obey your Alpha and you will obey me." Naraku was about to let his anger fly, but something told him to shut up and listen to her. He knew that she was right and by further disrespecting his Alpha's stepparent, he was disrespecting his Alpha. He bowed his head and remained silent.

"Good, I see that your youkai knows better than you do." She said smugly, "Now," she turned to the group. "Since it's so crowded here, I never expected to have so many guests; I will escort you to your rooms." Saying nothing more, she led both groups inside her home. She didn't like it, but by law, she had no choice. As the Heir, her stepson held sway, whether he was awake or not. She led Kagome, Sango, Kagura and Kanna to one side, Miroku and Shippo to another. "Males take the west wing, females the east. You," She pointed to Naraku, "Follow me." Without question Naraku fell into step behind her, unaware that the demoness was looking him over. What a complex, dark creature. He's beautiful, that goes without saying but he's damaged…He's been hurt, betrayed, rejected…good motives for hatred and bitterness, as well as revenge. Why would my late husband choose such a creature for his Heir's Beta? She wasn't always the warmest demoness, but Sesshomaru's mother was a great observer. She noticed the minuet signs of worry and nervousness that Naraku displayed. He played with his hair, wrung his hands, fussed with his kimono. The demon was actually worrying for her stepson. Maybe, just maybe, there's hope yet.

After a while she led him to another set of double doors, white and indigo with a silver crescent moon.

"This will be your room for the duration of your stay." She said. "And do not fret for your Alpha. He is strong and he will survive this ordeal. But take heed, since you are a Hanyou yourself, you too shall go through the same ordeal. May not be now, may not be the same way but it will happen." With that, she left him alone with his thoughts and worry.

Kagome and Sango kept wary eyes on Kagura and Kanna as they walked to their rooms. They didn't like the fact that they were here, even less that Naraku was there too. Was it some trick? Kagome thought. Are they here for the shards and to kill Inuyasha in his sleep? Kagome's eyes narrowed as she watched Kagura walk ahead a bit. She couldn't put her finger on it, but it didn't seem right with her.

"We are not here to cause trouble, hard is that to believe." Kagura said. "But Naraku has been acting, strange but amusing lately."

"So why is he here?"

"He's worried about Inuyasha." Kanna said. "So we came here." Sango was listening and the realization hit her at once.

"Naraku is the Beta." She said, flooring Kagome immediately. "Sesshomaru's mother addressed him as such and his behavior…he's the 'uke'…" She paused when she heard Kagome's laughter and had to hide her own. Who would have thought the big bad demon would end up as their friend's "bitch"? In the safety of their room, both Kagome and Sango burst out laughing.

Jukai and Masaki were on constant vigil since their young Lord fell into his slumber. They heard the call of their Lord's stepmother and saw their Lord drowning in the pool. Jukai knew exactly what happened and didn't hesitate to grab the young one. Since then, he and Masaki took him to his assigned chambers, dried him off and placed a simple yet elegant white silk and gold sleeping robe on him. Masaki tended to his hair, taking care to not disturb their master and both men noticed how well it turned out. The hair was silky, thick and had slight waves. Masaki put it into a high ponytail as Inutaisho's was and both men were shocked on the image the young one portrayed. It was a dead on match, minus the markings. The sun was setting and the young one hasn't risen yet.

"Is there supposed to be a moon tonight?" Masaki asked.

"Yes, I believe a new moon. I could be wrong."

"I just hope he makes it."

"So do I, so does his Beta."

"His Beta..?" Masaki asked, "Lord Inuyasha's Beta is here, now?"

"Yes, it's the hanyou Naraku." Masaki looked at his friend wide-eyed.

"What? How is that possible? Why would…"

"I don't know." Jukai said. "I'm sure Inutaisho had his reasons."

"Isn't he…..evil?"

"I thought he was…but for some reason he was chosen to be with our Lord."

"Maybe it's a balance thing," Masaki said. "You know, like ying and yang." The older demon looked at the general and thought about his theory. Naraku was dark in nature while Inuyasha was light, he couldn't be evil, no matter how hard he tried. The boy was mischievous but evil, never. He was about to speak when the doors opened and a pair of crimson eyes looked at them.

"Forgive me, I'm looking for Inuyasha." The velvety voice of the dark hanyou said. Jukai got up to greet him.

"Naraku sama, it's too early for you to be here." He chided gently. "Our Lord hasn't risen."

"I just, need to see him. Please," Jukai looked at the hanyou and noticed something there that the others did not. He sighed and stepped to the side. "Masaki, make way. Let him see."

The other demon stepped to the side and Naraku looked at the figure on the bed, dead to the world. He can't be dead. Naraku's mind screamed. He's needed….I need him… He knelt down and for no reason; he kissed the slumbering hanyou on the forehead then quickly left, entering his rooms in time for his tears to fall. Come back to us. Come back to me…Suddenly feeling tired, the dark haired hanyou went to bed.

Lavender and lilies… Inuyasha's clouded mind said. Where did it come from? It's soothing….and a hint of a moonlit night…that's a scent worth going back to…Inuyasha's back arched in agony as the moon rose. His claws ripped into the bedclothes, piercing them and into the wood of the bed. His eyes would not open and he grit his teeth, biting back a scream. He felt as if his body was being reconstructed, every bone, muscle and sinew burned in what seemed to be an eternal kiln. His spine was lengthening and he swore he felt something furry. His fangs grew and bit into his lip. Finally his eyes shot open, bathing the world in blood red. The blood bath only spanned a moment before it faded and cleared again.

"My Lord," Masaki said. "Finally, you're awake."

"What's happened to me?" Inuyasha asked, barely recognizing his own voice. It was deeper, silkier, and carried power. Masaki helped him to sit up but it was Jukai who spoke.

"Your hanyou side is no more." He said. "It's passed on upon the moon rise." Inuyasha grabbed some of his hair and noticed that it was still silver, but more lustrous and if possible, fuller, thicker and silkier. He felt the bed was too small for him and he was experiencing back pain.

"Ok my back is killing me why?"

"You're sitting on your tails my Lord."

"My tails, I don't have tails!"

"Forgive me my Lord but you do now." Masaki said. "Look at yourself in the mirror. Here, I will help you." The general aided Inuyasha to rise and led him to the mirror. Inuyasha was shocked at his appearance. His magenta markings were out, a hint more violet than his brother's on his forehead, was a violet crescent moon. And to his surprise, not one but two fluffy tails! His hair was longer and in a high ponytail. His puppy ears were gone, replaced by two elfin ears. He was drop dead gorgeous! He was so shocked that he did the one thing that made sense at the time; the newly transformed Lord of the West fainted!

*So he survives and is now one powerful Seme. Should I make Naraku under go his, or wait? Review to let me know*
