Chapter 16: Day Five: Surprises
(SPOV)
I felt the suns' rays hit my eyes as I felt the sandman leave my body. I placed my hand on my face as I ran it up over my head and through my hair. I sighed softly, trying to gather my thoughts into one. I felt like I was forgetting something important, but it was not coming across. I just shrugged my shoulders and laid back in my bed, snuggling under the covers. Looking at the clock on my side dresser, the green lights telling me that it is eleven fifteen, it finally hits me. Didn't Sango say that she would not leave from the front of my door until I let her in? I scrambled out from my covers and ran to my door. Grabbing the door knob, I stopped myself. Why was I in a rush to see the woman that I thought I could spend the rest of my life with? She had stood me up. But – she did risk her own life to stay out in the cold and rain, just to be with me. I let out my breath and turned the knob, wondering if she actually kept her word. Opening the door, the sun had blinded me. Taking a step forward, my foot caught on something and I tripped.
"The hell?! I swear if it's that damn dog again from next door I am going to kill it." I growled. "Didn't I tell you this is not your home? Just because I smell like a dog to you does not mean—
My words were caught in my throat as I turned my head to see Sango there behind me, wrapped in a jacket in fetal position, shivering. Though the sun was out and it was warm, she was still cold. A tiny sneeze had come from her nose as I came to my feet. She actually stayed like she said she would. I just rolled my eyes as I bit my bottom lip. You silly girl. Why would you risk your health just to be with me? I looked her body over once, twice before I slowly picked her up, holding her close to me. She is cold, but she feels that she has a fever. I placed my forehead against hers and felt her heat. She is sick. I will get you better Sango. Stepping back into my condo, I walked into my room and laid her in my bed before I grabbed the rest of her belongings that were outside my door. Placing them at the foot of my bed, I looked at Sango again and noticed how her skin was pale. If I did nothing soon, she probably will die on me. Where did I put that damn medicine?
There was only one type of medicine that I trusted for myself whenever I became sick; if I ever did. Though it was meant for a demon of my race, it should work on a human, though there could be side effects. Looking through the cabinets in my kitchen, I finally found it and rushed back to her side. "Sango, Sango, wake up." I shook her gently as she groaned from her heavy sleep. Her eyes opened a bit, but it was enough to let me know that she was still alive. "Drink this."
"D-drink?" she asked softly.
"Don't ask, just drink it." I lifted up her head and slipped the concoction between her lips. As the liquid burned down her throat, she started to cough. "Don't throw it up. If you do, you will not get better."
"B-but, I-I t-t-t-thought y-y-y-you hated m-m-me," she stuttered softly as her body started to shake.
"I don't hate you Sango." I gave her a weak smile. "But, I need to get you out of those clothes." Before she could even try and protest I started to strip her. Taking her clothes off was like taking them off of a doll since she was so limp and weak. Though she was lying naked in my bed, there was no way I could get a hard-on from this. No way could I think of sex. Her skin looked dead and her lips were blue. I stripped out of my pajamas and crawled into the sheets with her. "I will keep you warm with my body heat Sango. Just rest till you feel better, okay?" She nodded her head softly, giving me the recognition that she heard me. I would not rest until I knew that she was sound asleep and that her body temperature was back to normal, which did not take any time since I gave her that medicine. "Rest my love." I kissed her gently on her head before I felt sleep take over my body once more, my arms and legs encircling Sango's body; never letting her go again.

I felt something move against my body as I started to wake up. It felt warm and soft and somewhat squishy. As I moved my face, I felt something soft rub against my cheek and it smelled like roses. Roses? I opened my eyes to see a body next to me, and I didn't have to think to know who it was. Kikyo turned over on her back, the sunlight from her window flickering over her body. I replayed what happened last night and a small smile came across my face. It had been awhile since I had sex with Kikyo, and it felt nice. I placed tiny kisses on her forehead, causing her to stir and her bright brown eyes to look up at me. "Good morning."
"Good morning." She smiled at me softly. I leaned into kiss her, but she moved away from me. I was a bit confused. We just shared a wonderful time last night. Why did she not want me to kiss her? "Are you feeling better?"
"Y-yeah, I am." I leaned to kiss her again, but she rejected me. Kikyo slipped out of the bed and threw her fuzzy red robe over her body. "What do you want to eat?"
"Why won't you kiss me?"
"What?" She looked at me with a bewilderment.
"I don't understand. We fucked last night, but waking up, you avoid me."
She blinked those big eyes at me and said, "What are you talking about. We didn't have sex last night." Now I was confused. "You don't remember? You came barging into my house, glad to see that I was alive. We had our little confrontation, and when you did lean into kiss me, you blacked out."
"What?"
"When you recovered for a bit, you were complaining to me about your scar. Saying that it burned; saying that your body felt like it was on fire. I stripped you out of your clothes and said I would let you sleep in my bed, but you insisted for me to sleep next to you. The look that you had on your face was pitiful Naraku. I don't know what Kagome has done to you, or if you were scared that what is inside you would awaken then, but I just could not leave you. I did everything I could for you, even slept naked with you because you asked."
"So, we didn't have sex at all?" She shook her head slowly, her hair swaying back and forth. "I guess it was just a dream then," I said softly as I fell back on the pillows. I sighed, closing my eyes back before saying, "Thank you Kikyo, for taking care of me."
"Oh no problem. So, what are you in the mood to eat Naraku?"
"Anything you feel like making." She smiled and headed out of the bedroom towards the kitchen. Even though she was still in earshot, I screamed out my frustration. The dream that I had felt so real last night, but it didn't happen. I guess I can only get good orgasms through my dreams since Kagome is not here and Kikyo won't let me touch her; probably for the best. My phone started to ring and speak of the devil it was Kagome's name that lit up my phone. I didn't feel like talking to her, but I figured this would be the only time I would hear from her. Besides, tomorrow is supposedly the day she is coming back. I pressed the screen and answered coldly. "Hello."
"You have yet to tell Sesshomaru, Naraku."
"What the fuck do you want Rin and why do you keep calling me through Kagome's phone. Let me talk to her."
"You won't have that chance again until you tell Sesshomaru."
"Even if I did tell him, he would not want you back. He wants you to stay away from him as far as possible. You know that Sesshomaru has moved on with his life, you should do that same thing."
"Oh no, what I have, Sesshomaru can never leave me." Her end died. What did she have on Sesshomaru that would make him jump and go back to her. Whatever it was I guess now would be a good time to tell him. I dialed his number, only to receive his voice-mail. I left him a message explaining everything, hopefully he will get back to me on this situation.
I could smell the food that Kikyo was cooking in her kitchen. I tried to sit up only to receive a sharp spasm in my chest. I let out a deadly scream as my body started to convulse. I heard Kikyo's foot steps as she came next to me, her cool hands on my face.
"Naraku! Naraku! Calm down!"
I tried to do slow my breathing but nothing was working. My eyes rolled to the back of my head and then everything went black. Kikyo's voice started to fade out and I was left in darkness. I was back in the same foggy darkness when I had that nightmare about Kagome. Just being here I knew nothing good would come out of this. I didn't want to be here. Someone let me out!
"Mwahahaha, you have no choice... Naraku," said a deep demonic voice. I looked around, trying to trace where the voice was coming from, only to have it laugh at me once more. "You silly humans. You always seem to amaze me."
Who are you?
"Why, I am you."
What?
"Heh, I am getting closer to my awakening Naraku."
You mean... you are –
"Yes, I am your worst nightmare. I am what was placed inside you many years ago back in that alley."
No! I won't ever let you take control of my body!
"Bwahaha, you have no choice. Your body is already weakening. At this rate, I will fully be able to take control of your body."
No, you can't. I won't let you.
"We shall see about that Naraku. It will be very soon when I rise to the surface. Have your little fun for now."
I could hear the voice around me as he started to laugh. I covered my ears, but I was still able to hear that laugh in my head. I was not going to let this monster take control of me and for my soul to be lost forever.
I woke up, scared. I felt something heavy resting on my body. Looking down, I saw Kikyo snuggled against me, tears running down her cheeks. I reached out to wipe them away, only to feel my hand weigh a hundred pounds. Trying to speak, I felt that my throat was sore. I cleared it before I said her name. "K-Kikyo." I felt her stir as her eyes met mine. "Why are you crying?"
"Naraku!" Kikyo said as she burst into tears once more, clinging tightly onto my body. She snuggled her head into my stomach, her tears rolling down my skin. "I was scared that you would not wake up."
"W-What do you mean?"
"You blacked out again Naraku."
"What time is it?" The weight that was on my bofy started to lift and I was able to move my hands. I looked out the window to see that it was dark outside.
"It's eight fifteen."
"Shit!"
"What?"
"I was supposed to help my brother with the re-opening of The Sting Dragon."
"Yeah, you were, but you just had to be a weakling, don't you Naraku." I looked over to the door way of Kikyo's bedroom to see my brother standing there with his arms crossed.
"O-Onigumo? What are you doing here?"
"When I called to have you come out to the restaurant, Kikyo answered in a frantic tone and told me what happened to you. I canceled the re-opening today and came straight here. You need to keep your walls up Naraku. You can't let what's inside you win, or we both will lose."
"Have you had an encounter with that...demon?"
"No, I have not, which worries me. You might have the stronger half of what I have within me. Yes, we have two different types of demons inside one of us, but if they come to the surface, the two together would –
"I don't want to know the ending of that sentence." I placed my hands on top of Kikyo's head, her crying soon turning into soothing coos. "I'm sorry I had you worried Kikyo." She just nodded her head and continued to hold onto me.
"I love you Naraku." That was shocking to hear from her.
"Uh, love you too... Kikyo." I had no idea what was going on with her as into why she told me that, but it could be because I had blacked out for so long. I rubbed the top of her hair, telling her that everything would be okay.
"Oh, speaking of which," Onigumo interrupted. "Kagome is back."
"What?!" I sat up quickly. Kikyo let go of me and got off the bed as my head started to slowly started to spin. "What do you mean that she is back."
"I saw her before I headed over here. She was with Rin in a car heading towards her place."
"She said she was not coming back till Sunday." I thought about it for a second before I reached for my phone to see that I had... no calls from her at all. "You say that she is back but she has not called me at all." I could feel my anger start to build, but whatever anger this was, it was not mine.
That is right Naraku, feed on this anger of mine.
"No..."
"Naraku, are you okay?" Kikyo asked as she moved away from me.
"Oh no." Onigumo came up to me and placed his hands on the side of my head. "Naraku, do not lose your temper. You do not need to lose your anger over this, especially since you are very vulnerable right now. You let yourself go and what is inside you will rise." I could hear Onigumo and I knew he was right, but I just could not help with how I felt. "Naraku, if you do not calm down I will make you calm down." I looked at my brother and slowly started to calm down. I did not want to hurt my brother in any way."Are you calm?" I nodded my head. "Good."
"We need to go to Sesshomaru."
"What why?"
"Rin had called me earlier and told me that she had something on Sesshomaru. Once she tells him, he will have no choice but to stay with her."
"I call bullshit. There is nothing that she could possibly have on him that would make him be her bitch. Sesshomaru is not that type of guy and you know that."
"I know, but just to be on the safe side, let's get to him before she does." My brother agreed and headed out as I started to get dressed. I totally forgot Kikyo was in the room until I looked at her. "Kikyo I –
"Forget it Naraku. It was nice to see and be with you again. I will see you around though." For some reason, I did not believe that. I felt that she was hiding something; I could feel it in my gut. She gave me her sweet smile and I just gave her a small smirk.
"Thank you Kikyo, for everything." She nodded her head. I wanted to give her a kiss. I wanted to hold her for a very long time. The look that was in her eyes, just made me feel that it was wrong to leave her here. I went to give her a hug but she just shook her head.
"Go on, you have to get to Sesshomaru's place. I will be here, do not worry." I just looked at her before I grabbed my keys and left her place, not feeling really comfortable with how things between us had ended. I started up my car and revved off towards his place.
Kikyo watched Naraku from her porch as he drove off to Sesshomaru's place, his tires screeching on the way. Kikyo sighed deeply and walked back into her home. She looked around as sweet memories of Naraku filled her mind. She closed her eyes and started to dance around the family room. The warm, happy feeling that was within her soon started to fade and she stopped dancing. Kikyo looked over to the kitchen table and saw some papers and pens. She walked over to the table and sat down. She grabbed the pen and thought about what she wanted to say before she wrote it down on the papers before her.
'I'm sorry...Naraku...'

My ears twitched as I heard banging on my door and my name being called. The voices sounded like they belonged to Onigumo and Naraku. Whatever they were here for, it had better be for a good reason because I did not like to be disturbed while I was sleeping. The banging started to get louder. I did not want them to wake up Sango, so I had no choice but to answer. I looked over her sleeping body and saw that her skin had restored to its peachy color and that her lips were a soft red. Sango looked beautiful in the dark and if only those two had not showed up, I would have probably fucked her right then and there. I growled slightly in my throat. I kissed Sango softly on the lips before I threw some pants on and answered the door.
"What do you two want?"
"Sesshomaru, Rin is back."
"So?"
"She had called me today saying that she had something on you and that you would have no choice but to be with her."
I chuckled. "What could this bitch possibly have on me. No one can hold a threat great enough to hold the Great Dog Demon down."
"We know, but it seems that she has something."
"Is that all you two have came here to tell me?"
"Well I did call you, but you do not know how to call anyone back. I bet you didn't even check your voice-mail."
"You're right, I did not. I was to busy taking care of and sleeping with Sango."
"Ah, so she showed up," Naraku said.
"Yeah, and she is in the bed. Now, if you two do not mind, I would like to go back and sleep with her –
There was another knock at my door. "That could be her," Onigumo whispered. I just rolled my eyes and answered the door to see both Kagome and Rin at my door.
"May we come in?" This from Kagome. I nodded my head and let them in. The atmosphere in the air was already thick, but it became even more thick when Kagome and Naraku had made eye contact.
"What do you two want?"
"Uh, Rin has something that she wants to tell you Sesshomaru." Kagome adverted her eyes from mine as her back was to Naraku's. I know those two will have problems later. I looked over to Rin who was slightly behind Kagome. She had changed since the last time I had seen her and not in a good way. She look dead and seemed that she gained a ton of weight. Her face was droopy and her hair looked like a bird's nest. I had a look of disgust on my face when she gave me a nasty smile.
"Not too happy to see me Sesshomaru?"
"Of course not. I was not expecting to see you back in my life in a very long time."
"Well I am sorry, but you will have to put up with my face for a very long time."
"That is what I keep on hearing. What could you possibly have on me that would make me want you back." Rin chuckled. "Well?"
"You think you are so high and mighty, don't you Sesshomaru."
"Of course I do. I have more power then you could every imagine."
"That is good since you will need to use that power that you have."
"And why is that?"
"Sesshomaru..." I looked back to see Sango coming out from my room, the covers hugging around her body as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "Come back to bed."
"In a minute Sango."
"You've been fucking her Sesshomaru?" Rin said with anger.
"Yes, I have and it has been wonderful." Rin looked over towards Sango and whispered, 'You bitch,' before running towards her. I grabbed Rin around the waist before she could even land a hand on her. "Touch her Rin and I will break your neck."
"How could you say something so cruel to me Sesshomaru! I loved you and then you leave me to fuck around with this bitch!?"
"Call me a bitch again and I will be sure that I am the one that kills you," Sango said very coldly. I looked at her with a bit of astonishment, but saw that her eyes had a hint of pink, so I know that Yori had came up, but Sango was still in command.
"I do not deserve this type of treatment at all!"
"Then leave. I never asked you to come back."
"Whether you asked me back or not, I am not leaving at all. You are going to be stuck with me for life."
"There is no way in hell I would be stuck with you for –
"I'm pregnant with your child Sesshomaru!"

Isn't that a wonderful cliff hanger for you all. Sorry it has taken me so long to update. Juggling school and not having any inspiration to write has been hard, but I managed to have time and even had a burst, so here it is. The next chapter will even be more juicy then this one, so look out for the next one. =^_^=
