"Karas, what did I tell you?" Keski said.
Karas looked at him and said, "But he kissed you!"
"He tripped. It was on accident. Wasn't it, Naraku?" Keski asked, looking at the demon.
"Yes, it was," Naraku replied.
Keski looked at Karas and said, "See? Now go to your room or I will have to lock you in the cellar. I know you don't like that, and you know I don't like to do it. But that's how I learned growing up, and it will be the same way for you. Now go to bed .
Karas huffed and walked over to Naraku."I am watching you, you may have my brother fooled but not me , sleep with one eye open!" Karas tells him Kira shook his head and pulled Karas away from his former master, demon or not he was sure Naraku had Onigumo's temper if not worse.
When they were gone Naraku walked over to the hot spring and took his robe off and stepped into the steaming water. Naraku smiled at Keski ."Aren't you going to bathe with me?" He wondered putting a hand to Keski's face and rubbed his thumb over his cheek when his robe was removed his large hard standing cock was showed.
"Y..yes." Keski stuttered Keski swallowed the lump in his throat and got in the water as well and grabbed the cloth he brought along to wash Naraku.
Naraku sat down in front of him and moved his hair out of the way as Keski started washing his back. "Naraku, you need to relax," Keski said, feeling the tense muscles under his fingers. Naraku chuckled and said, "I'm always alert."
"Well, you're safe here, so don't be," Keski said as he started to massage the tension out of Naraku's shoulders and back.
Keski moved Naraku's hair out the way washing Naraku's back tracing the cloth over the spider mark. "So you're a spider demon now, I guess I should get you blood instead of meat and vegetables." he says to him. Naraku liked the rubbing on his back. "And I am more than just a Spider demon I have a few other demons that live inside of me as well." He also noted the cock that brushed his bum that was submerged in water.
"Oh?" Keski said. I have a tentacle beast and a Dragon, and an all seeing eye oracle." Naraku answered him "I am the most powerful thus why My name is the top the others gave me the respect of having my name be the one to be known.
"I see," Keski said, nodding, as he worked on washing Naraku's shoulders.
Naraku felt his head fall forward, pushing his back towards Keski. "That feels good," he moaned, making Keski smile. "I'm glad you like it," he said, feeling himself blush
"Naraku what do you plan on doing now that you're this demon?" he asks as he washes his shoulders off. "Okay turn around to face me." he tells him Naraku turned around to face him,"I plan on taking over the world, and dominating it." He answered him honestly. Well this was his first intent."To Create dark creatures and make an dark army that will wash over these lands. So that All will know I am Lord." He said looking into the priests eyes.
Keski's brown eyes widened. "You can't do that!, you have no right to control everyone, you'll be making slaves out of everyone, I can't allow you to do that!" he tells him as he has a tight grip on the cloth the jewel around Keski's neck begins to darken since Naraku was so close to him.
Keski looked down at the jewel and quickly set to work to purify it again. "I can't let you do that," he whispered, still holding the little stone in his hand.
Naraku lifted Keski's chin with his finger and said, "It's going to happen anyway. If not me, then some other demon."
Naraku leaned in and pressed his lips to his"If you obey me you'll sit at my right hand side." He whispered into his ear and licked the outline.
Keski whimpered against him and nodded his head."I..I don't know if I can do this Naraku, you're talking about ruling the world and those that disobey or refuse to be your slaves you'll most likely kill. I'm a priest how can I just stand by and watch?" he asked him, he was confused he wanted Naraku's touch, but he also was taught to stop evil like this
"Hmm my dear you already crossed over into the darkness once you decided to help me and it has all been sealed with a kiss." Naraku tells him "Besides you don't have to do much just watch me conquer it all." He said running his hand through Keski's silky pony tail
Keski squeezed his eyes shut, clenching his hands into fists. "It frightens me. What would happen to those that I love?" he said, his face tilted down.
Keski didn't know it but his powers were slowly disappearing now that he gave himself to The demon Lord .
The jewel turned pitch black now. "I will make sure your brother isn't harmed." Naraku says to him with a smile the spider inside was laughing and he'd have his way with the priest then kill him. This was all so fun he thought.
Keski thought for a moment and said as if in a daze, "If you swear my brother is to be safe, then I will be your right side." He looked up into Naraku's eyes, his hands still clenched.
"I promise."Naraku says to him and kisses Keski on his forehead. "Maybe we better go back to the shrine." Keski says to him feeling a bit lightheaded Naraku nodded" I suppose if that is what you want to do my love," he says to him and gets up the springs and uses the towel to dry off.
Keski's eyes widened. M-my love? He thought, looking up at Naraku. Naraku looked at him and held out his hand. "Coming?" he asked. Keski nodded, taking his hand and getting out of the spring, getting his own towel and drying off.
Naraku sighed that meant he have to be nice to the brat and the humans for now until he had everything planned out. Keski put his robe back on after getting dry, he turned around as Naraku was putting his robe on as well.
"Um Naraku since you're well, I will be leaving you just for a bit tomorrow to check on some things make sure no demons get in." Keski says
Naraku nodded and said, "That's fine. I will stay here."
"Thank you," Keski said as they walked back towards the shrine. Naraku just nodded, watching Keski walk in front of him.
When they got back to the shrine Keski placed his hands over the sacred jewel and managed to purify it Naraku watched him, Naraku knew Keski's powers were getting weak. "Keski I am going to get some blood I won't be long." Naraku says to him
Keski nodded and said, "No one in the village or temple."
Naraku nodded and left, going through the forest in search of prey.
Keski sighed as he walked to his room, closing the door behind him. He walked over to his window and opened it to let the cool breeze in. He then walked over and pulled out his kimono for bed, changing into it before laying down, staring out the window. What am I doing? he thought.
Naraku saw a grown male fox demon."Filth!" The fox said to him.
Naraku glared at him Naraku walked up to him and his tentacles came out and he grabbed the fox bringing them face to face. "Hn not much power but you will do till I get the jewel!"Naraku growled before absorbing the fox into his body Naraku tentacles went into his body again and he made his way back to the shrine. he looked up at the steps of the shrine and began walking up them.
Naraku walked into the shrine and found his room. He quickly changed, also opening his window before crawling into bed, pulling the sheets up around him
The next morning Keski got up and left to go check on the village leaving Karas and Kira alone in the shrine with Naraku.
Karas was eating now some rice along with Kira.
"You better behave Karas, Keski already warned you." Kira reminds him
Karas rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, I know. But I need to think of a way to keep that demon away from my brother."
Kira sighed and said, "You're going to get locked in the cellar."
Said demon came out wearing a robe. "Oh Keski left already what a shame I wanted to give him a kiss." Naraku says.
"He doesn't want your kisses, he says your kisses are blah!" Karas said to him nearly snapping the chopsticks.
"He didn't complain when I gave him more kisses last night," Naraku said, sitting down across from the boys. Karas glared at him and said, "Get this through your head. My brother does NOT like you. He never will."
Kira sighed. "We made rice master Naraku would you like some?" Kira asks him.
"No I had a meal last night still full." Naraku says and looks at Karas. "Boy no one is forcing Keski into anything he wants me." Naraku says to him.
"Oh yeah we'll see about that when Lady Kagome and Lord Sesshoumaru come!" Karas says Naraku glared at him and said, "Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Lord Sesshoumaru and Lady Kagome are coming here," Karas said, smirking at him. Naraku growled at him.
Sesshoumaru growled he had no idea why his lovely mate liked coming to this human village Sesshoumaru had long silver white hair and golden eyes he wore a white kimono he was a Inu demon, his mate Kagome had long black hair and blue eyes she wore a blue kimono she had stripes on her arms as well she too was a Inu demon as those hidden on her legs Kagome looked at her husband and said, "Calm down, Sess. It's just a visit."
"Yes, but every time I go there, someone is always trying to purify me," Sesshoumaru replied with a huff. Kagome giggled and wrapped her arm around his waist as they walked. "That's just because they don't know the other side of you," she said, smiling at him
"I see Keski never tries to purify you." Sesshoumaru says to Kagome.
"Well that's cause I am a female." she says as they walk into the village The children ran up to Kagome and hugged her.
"You better not bother Keski!" one of the kids said to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru glared at the child and then sniffed his nose smelling another demon
"What's this?" he said as they got closer to the temple, the scent getting stronger. Kagome took his hand and said, "I don't have a good feeling about this."
"Neither do I," Sesshoumaru said.
Karas stood up and felt a stronger demon aura two actually. Karas ran to the door and opened it."Lord Sesshoumaru, Lady Kagome!" Karas called.
Naraku growled hearing the name. "Interesting." Naraku says Kagome smiled and said, "Hello, Karas. Where is your brother?"
"He's out doing his rounds," Karas said, stepping aside to let them in.
Kagome nodded and said, "Who is here with you?"
"I made a new friend and well Keski took in a stray no offense Fluffy." Karas says to him. Sesshoumaru glared at the boy. "Smart mouth like your brother." Sesshoumaru says and walks inside and sees the boy and demon Kira looked up seeing Sesshoumaru and backed away seeing this was a powerful demon.
Kagome stepped up and said, "You don't have to be afraid. He's really a sweetheart." Sesshoumaru glared at her and said, "I am NOT a sweetheart."
Kagome giggled and said, "Whatever you say, Sess." Naraku raised an eyebrow as he looked at the two.
Karas walked over to Kira, "Lady Kagome is right he's just a big ball of fur, he and Keski get into it all the time but nothing ever happens."Karas says.
Kira nodded his head. "So demon what are you doing in a priest shrine?" Sesshoumaru asks Naraku.
"I can ask you the same but unlike you I am Keski's lover." Naraku tells him and looks at Karas.
"That's a lie! He just came here yesterday. There is no way that you would be my brother's lover. I would never let you," Karas said, glaring at him. He started to charge him, but Kagome held him back, eyeing Naraku curiously.
"I am sorry to be the one to tell you Karas but after you and Kira left, Keski and I had a nice chat and we decided to be with each other."Naraku says to him.
"All of you hush!" Sesshoumaru says to them. "When Keski returns we will find out the truth, though I don't know why a priest would want to be with a demon." Sesshoumaru says.
"Let me go I'll rip him apart!" Karas yelled as Kagome held him.
"Karas calm down." Kagome tells him
"Stay away from my brother!" Karas yelled, tears in his eyes. Kagome pulled him to her, and he buried his face into her kimono, his shoulders shaking from the sobs. She picked him up and walked past Naraku to the back of the shrine.
Naraku caught her scent and smirked Sesshoumaru sighed and walked over to Naraku. "Keep your eyes to yourself my mate isn't in the room now I have no reason not to squash you like the pest you're, you used a human and took his soul, what are you up to?" Sesshoumaru asks him.
"Keski tried to kill me then fell in love with me end of story." Naraku tells him and stands up. "You can stay and baby sit with your mate I am going out." Naraku tells him Kira looked at him and said, "But you told Master Keski you wouldn't leave while he was gone."
"Quite, brat," Naraku growled at him.
Kira held his head down."Sorry." Kira says to him.
Sesshoumaru walked over to the case and touched the box and his hand was zapped and burned. "What the?" he said as he looked at the box.
"Master Keski put the jewel in there this morning and put a spell on it." Kira tells him Naraku walked over to the door and opened it letting the rays of the sun come in
Kira looked at Naraku and bit his lip. "Master Keski is going to be very angry," he said to himself. Naraku glared at him over his shoulder and Kira ran, hiding behind Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru looked behind him seeing Kira. "Scaring a kid now are we?" Sesshoumaru asked him. Naraku snorted and looked down the steps, the dog demon was ruining his plans. Naraku's ears twitched when he heard laughing and saw Keski riding piggy back style on one of the male villagers back. "I said I am fine." Keski says to him
"But Master Keski, your ankle is swollen!" The villager said.
"I just twisted it. I will be fine, Koiyo," Keski said.
"That's what I get for trying to save a fox kit." Keski says as Koiyo climbs up the steps with him . Naraku stepped back but left the door open and leaned against the wall. Kagome came out the back. "Karas is taking a nap I finally got him to stop crying." Kagome says to Sesshoumaru
Sesshoumaru nodded, wrapping his arm around Kagome's waist and pulling her to his side. Keski looked at the villager and said, "You can put me down now. I will be safe here." "Yes, Master Keski. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask for it," Koiyo said, gently setting Keski on his feet. Keski could still stand on his foot, he just didn't put too much weight on it. "Thank you. I will," he said, smiling.
Kagome smelled Keski's scent." Sesshoumaru behave." Kagome tells him.
Kira peeped from behind Sesshoumaru when he saw Keski walk into the shrine. "Master Keski!" Kira said and ran over to him.
"Oo Kira hi." he says and then sees Naraku and Sesshoumaru along with Kagome. "What's going on did something happen?" Keski asks them.
"No, nothing love." Naraku says and walks over to him and kisses him on his lips.
Keski blushed and stared at Naraku with wide eyes. "Keski, is it true you took him as your lover?" Sesshoumaru asked, looking at him.
"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome said smacking him on the arm.
"What I want to know if this is a lie so I can kill the pest." Sesshoumaru tells her.
Keski closed the door behind him Naraku saw that Keski's foot was swollen and led him over to the mat and sat him down."Kira get me something to wrap this in." he orders the boy. Kira nods his head and goes to get what is needed.
"Yes Sesshoumaru, Naraku and I are together and since when do you care what I do?" Keski asks him "I don't care. It just surprises me that you would lower yourself to sleeping with a demon. Your brother doesn't seem to agree with this...relationship...either," Sesshoumaru said.
"Look I have a right to want to be with someone rather demon or not, I do what I m suppose to do everyday!" Keski yells at him.
"Are you hearing yourself you kill demons not sleep with them!" Sesshoumaru says and stalks over to Keski and pulls him up by his collar. "He is corrupting you!" Sesshoumaru hisses "If I kill demons, then shouldn't I kill you and your mate, as well?" Keski hissed back, ignoring Sesshoumaru's last comment.
Sesshoumaru smirked. "You have failed many times boy, the only reason why I haven't really fought you is because my mate has a soft spot for you." Sesshoumaru says and drops him back to the floor. Keski looked up at him "Get out before I purify you!" Keski warns him. Kagome walked over to the foolish males. "Stop it, Keski we were just worried when we got here Karas was upset I think he, might think you're replacing him , it has been you two for just the last 3 years." Kagome says to him.
Keski sighed and said, "Where is he?"
"He's taking a nap. He had been crying earlier," Sesshoumaru said, glaring at him.
Keski sighed and stood up and glared back at Sesshoumaru before going down the hall and into Karas s bedroom and walked over to the mat and sat down pushing Karas hair out his face. Karas opened his brown eyes and saw Keski. "You're back." he says to him,
"Yeah, I'm back," Keski said.
"I don't want him here," Karas said, getting straight to the subject.
Keski sighed and said, "Karas, if you think I'm replacing you, I'm not. He is just an addition. You will always come first to me."
Karas looked at Keski. If I felt you or Kira were in danger I would get rid of Naraku whether I loved him or not but we talked and he has promised that he won t do anything to you. Keski says.
"Are Lady Kagome and Lord Sesshoumaru still here?" Karas asks.
"Yes and they also don't like Naraku, how about we all go out you need to practice firing your arrows." Keski says to him
"Can't you just go with me? It makes me uncomfortable when HE is there," Karas said. Keski smiled and said, "Think of it this way, there will be more people there that you are comfortable with and that would do anything to protect you than people who you are not and could do anything." Karas thought about it for a minute before nodding. "Okay," he said, feeling defeated.
"That's it," Keski said, leaning down and kissing his brother's forehead.
"Tell you what if I don't get news of you trying to purify HIM, I will come check on you, but I need to spend time with the sacred jewel." Keski tells him.
Karas sighed and stood up and grabbed his arrows and bow and he and Keski walked out the room "Hey Sesshoumaru , can you and Naraku take Karas and Kira out to practice?" Keski asks him.
"Keski I am not your babysitter." Sesshoumaru says to him.
"Sesshoumaru just do it will give you practice when it is our child." Kagome says
Sesshoumaru sighed and said to the two boys, "Grab your things and lets go." Kira looked at Keski and said, "Master Keski, what do I have to practice for?"
"You are going to be practicing to become a priest starting today. I know it is extremely late for you to start, but sooner is better than later," Keski said, smiling at the boy.
Kira smiled back and said, "What do I practice with, first?"
Keski looked at Karas and said, "Will you get him the spare bow and arrows? We have plenty more." Karas nodded and ran off to retrieve them from the storage room.
"Keski I was hoping to spend the rest of the day with you."Naraku says to him.
"Well he said for you to come, so end of story!" Karas yells at him when he comes back with arrows and a bow for Kira.
Kagome giggled. Naraku narrowed his eyes at Karas. "Right well when we're done I like spend time alone with you." Naraku says and walks over to Keski pushing Karas out the way and taking Keski's hand in his.
Sesshoumaru grabbed Karas by the back of his collar before he got in trouble. "Let go Fluffy!" Karas growled
Sesshoumaru took the bow and arrows from Karas and handed them to Kira. "Let's go," he said, dragging Karas with him, the boy growling and struggling the whole way. Keski sighed and said, "I just wish that the two of you could get along."
"Maybe we will by time practice is over."Naraku tells him and kisses him again before walking out the shrine with Kira.
"So the talk between you and Karas didn't go well I take it." Kagome says.
"I thought it did, I just told him, he comes first." Keski says to her.
"Well don't worry Sesshoumaru is with them , things won't get to out of hand." Kagome says . Keski nodded his head and went over to the box taking the spell off and taking the jewel out
He put the jewel back on it's chain before placing it around his neck. Naraku watched as he did it and walked up to him, wrapping an arm around his waist and pulling him to his side. "Shall we?" he said, smiling at him.
Keski smiled back and said, "We shall. I need to grab my own bow and arrows first. I feel in need of some practice of my own." He quickly walked over to the altar and grabbed his things before going back to Naraku's side. "There. Now we can go," he said, smiling up at him.
Kagome growled at Naraku. "What the hell are you doing here you're supposed to be with Karas and Sesshoumaru." Kagome says to him. "The boys are fine, Sesshoumaru has yet to let Karas go." Naraku says narrowing his eyes at Kagome Kagome didn't like the way Keski was acting he seemed to be under Naraku's trance. "He can't go he hurt his foot remember." Kagome says as he takes Keski's hand in hers.
"The swelling has already gone down. If he wants to go, he can go," Naraku said, pulling Keski so that his hand left Kagome's grasp.
Kagome grabbed it back and pulled Keski from Naraku's arms. "I don't know who you are, but I don't like you," she hissed before pulling Keski away, ignoring his protests.
Naraku smirked again and watched as she stormed off.
Keski walked out the shrine with Kagome looking over his shoulder. Naraku followed the two out he was going to have to get rid of the two dog demons.
Karas finally settled down and was shooting arrows."Oops!" he said as he almost hit Sesshoumaru.
Kira chuckled as he shot arrow and missed the target. "What is wrong with you two I can see Kira messing up but you should know better!" Sesshoumaru says to Karas.
Karas smiled sheepishly and said, "I've kind of been slacking on my practice sessions."
"Well then, it's a good thing that Kira is here," Sesshoumaru said, even though he smirked in amusement. Karas chuckled and shot again, this time hitting the edge of the target.
"Lord Sesshoumaru you don't harm humans like other demons?" Kira asks him as he shoots another arrow.
"Not unless I have too." Sesshoumaru tells him as he leans against the tree.
"He's scared big brother will purify him."Karas says and shoots another arrow hitting the target Sesshoumaru didn't say anything at one time he might have thought that but now with Naraku here he didn't think Keski could.
Kira shot another arrow and also hit the target. He jumped up and down in happiness. "I hit it!" he said, smiling.
Naraku was now walking beside Kagome and Keski. he could feel that Keski's powers were slipping.
"Kagome I need to rest why don't you go on and check on Karas." he says to her as stops walking.
She looked at him and said, "You sure you can't make it? We're almost there."
"Yeah, my ankle's being a bother. I'll be there in a minute," Keski said, sitting down on a nearby rock. "Alright," she said reluctantly, glaring at Naraku as she went off ahead.
"Keski you haven't forgotten about what you promised me have you?" Naraku asked him as he walked over to him and placed his hand on the jewel twirling it in between his fingers. "No, Naraku, I am just tired I battled some demons and tried to rescue a baby fox who was crying, his father never came back last night."Keski says looking at him now
Naraku nodded, letting the jewel fall back to Keski's chest. "Did you find out the child's name?" he asked.
"Shippo," Keski replied, rubbing his ankle.
"Oh well I am sure the father will show up." Naraku says to him and sits down on the ground.
Kagome came upon the boys."Hey." she says as she walks over to Sesshoumaru. "I thought you were with Keski." he says to her.
"I was but he wanted to rest , I left him with that demon, something is wrong Sesshoumaru." Kagome says Sesshoumaru nodded, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her to his chest. "I know there is," he said, resting his chin atop her head "What do you think Naraku is after ?" Kagome asks him "I don't know but we're going to have to leave soon my father wants to talk to me something important." Sesshoumaru says to her.
"Is it a good idea to leave Karas and Kira here alone?" Kagome asks.
"I would take them with us, but they don't move fast enough and we can't carry them, it'll slow us down. If things get out of hand here, then we'll take them to live with us and train them there, I promise. Alright?" Sesshoumaru said, looking at her.
"Yeah I just hope Keski comes to his senses before something bad happens." Kagome tells him. Karas looked around not seeing Keski."he snuck off and went to find Keski. He was more quite this time and he stopped as he saw Naraku and Keski once again kissing "Keski!, I..need your help, with shooting, I almost shot Sesshoumaru." he says
Keski looked at his brother and smiled, saying, "Alright. I'll help you." He stood, his ankle feeling much better now, and followed Karas. The boy looked up at his brother and took his hand in his small one. Naraku glared at the boy as he followed them to the clearing.
Keski took his arrows out and the arrow glowed before he let it go and it hit the tree right in the middle. "There see how I did that?" Keski asks Karas.
"Yes but could you do it again." Karas asks him as he leans against Kira.
"Keski we have to go we will be back in a month, knowing my father he'll talk that long." Sesshoumaru says Keski looked at him and nodded, saying, "It was nice having visitors." Kagome walked up to him and kissed his cheek. "Rest that ankle, alright?" she then walked over to Karas and Kira and kissed both of their foreheads. "You two be good for Keski, alright?" she said. The two nodded and she said, "Good."
Sesshoumaru walked pass Keski and over to Naraku. "He and these boys better be fine when I return." Sesshoumaru warns him.
"Oh don't worry Lord Sesshoumaru things will be alot different." he said to him. Keski would be dead by time Sesshoumaru came back Naraku thought to himself.
Sesshoumaru glared at him and hissed, "It better be different for the good. If any of them are harmed, I will hunt you down and kill you myself." Naraku just smirked as Sesshoumaru walked over to Kagome and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "And I will help him," she hissed as they walked past Naraku.
