Amidst The Change

Chapter 7: Lovers reunited, a lustful keeper, a foretold savoir

 

~Meg's P.o.V.~

I remained curled up on one of the main living room's armchairs in Kim and Kaiba's house. InuYasha was sprawled out on the couch, probably as wide awake as me. It was at least past 12 in the morning and the house was quiet except for mine and InuYasha's breathing in the room. Sarah and Will had taken the 'east wing bedroom' and Kim and Kaiba were of course in their room. The twins were sound asleep upstairs too and as I thought about how much Kim cared for her two children my hand rested on my stomach, thinking about the baby growing inside of me. Kim and Sarah had promised to take me to see a doctor in the morning. My thoughts lingered on what we would find out, if there was anything to find out. InuYasha finally spoke, interrupting my confused thoughts,"Meaghan...are you awake?" he asked. "No..." I whispered. "What are you thinking about?" he asked. "Jack...and the baby..." I replied. "Oh..." he whispered. "What about you?" I asked. "Maxine..." he whispered. I nodded slightly as he spoke again, the question I dreaded and the thing I hadn't told him yet,"When you saw her...was she and the baby alright?" he asked. "The baby's dead, InuYasha..." I said softly, wrapping my arms around myself tighter. I listened as his breath became shallower and finally he managed,"And Maxine?" he asked in a whisper. "She got left behind...her and Jack bargained for me..." I replied. Even though we'd only been whispering though...we never heard the side door creak open and the footsteps of boots on the kitchen tiles. And even in the moonlit room we didn't see the figure standing in the doorway of the living room until he spoke softly,"More bargains were made..." I turned, looking at the doorway, tears in my eyes. Tears I had thought I had no more of...

~Max's P.o.V.~

I didn't sleep, I couldn't. I remained locked in the dark dining room but I ate nothing in front of me. Naraku saw me once a day, saying nothing through the hours at night he sat there with me but always walking over to me and kissing me on the lips. I began dreading the nights, nightmares...as I was awake...more like daymares consumed me. I was thinking of Naraku more, I found and only struggled with thoughts for InuYasha. I paced the room until Naraku came in on the sixth night of this. Instantly as he closed the doors behind him I spoke bitterly,"What are you doing to me?!" I demanded. He smiled, walking towards me. I backed up as he spoke, grinning,"I thought you'd catch on soon enough...the miasma affects you in a somewhat peculiar way...you are beginning to confuse thoughts of love for lust..." he whispered. "Shut up," I whispered viciously. I wouldn't take that. "What did you expect, dear girl?" he asked, as he took my hand and stroked it. "I said shut the fuck up..." I whispered. His hands found my waist and he pulled my close, letting his hands move caressingly up and down my back and waist. I shuddered at his touch as his lips laid a kiss on my shoulder blade gently, moving up along my neck. "Why do you shake?" he whispered in my ear, as his lips caressed my neck. "I do not love you..." I whispered back, laying my hands upon his as they stopped on my hips. "You lust..." he whispered. I made no reply as he kissed me on the lips deeply. I backed away finally, tears in my eyes,"What do you feel then...if not love, only lust?" I asked, moving away slowly. He simply smiled and turned, leaving me in the room alone. I crumbled to the floor and sobbed.

The next day, my clothes and shoes were laying on the cleaned table in front of me. A note was attached, reading: 'My dear girl...my lust...my love. Please dress and come out to the courtyard...something you have foreseen but ignored will be waiting. Love, forever yours in lustful secrets or thoughts, Naraku...' I laid it down and slipped on the jeans, however big they were, tightening the belt just enough so they rested on my hips, sagging over my black skate shoes. I pulled InuYasha's t-shirt over my head and pulled some forgotten items out of my pockets. I had carried a lot in them, growing accustomed to the big pockets in the last 5 1/2 months I had worn InuYasha's clothes in pregnancy. I placed my house and car keys, my wallet and chain, a safety pin, my wristband, my forgotten black rimmed glasses and a trucker hat down on the table along with one stick of gum. I unwrapped the stick of gum and chewed it, more sustenance than I'd considered having in a couple days. I combed through my hair with my fingers, untangling my streaks so they would seperate into their own pink, green and black layers on top of my hair. I stuck the safety pin into my trucker hat and put in on to the side. I dug around in my pockets for my contact lens case and took them off, finding myself thinking about what my mother said about sticking foreign objects in my eyes. Basically...not to. I slipped on my glasses, letting my hair cover my face slightly. I slipped on the Stewie Griffin wristband and hooked the chain from my wallet to my belt loop, slipping the wallet itself into my, or InuYasha's, back pocket. I sat down on the table, throwing the white nightdress aside, reading over the note again. "...something you have foreseen but ignored..." I whispered. My heart pounded, because the only thing I'd seen in my brief spells of sleep was InuYasha's face again. Was this what the note referred to? I ignored the rest of the note, shuddering at the thought of this man's lust for me and the hate I had for him. I crumbled it up and stuffed it into a glass of unfinished wine on the table. I grabbed a sweet roll and walked out of the room, walking through the apparent manor I was in, trying to find the courtyard. Finally I found it, with my slight knowledge of a sprawling manor's layout, miraculously. Naraku walked towards me at first glance and smiled warmly, kissing me. I pulled away instantly and his eyes examined my face as I glared through my strands of hair. His smile turned to a frown,"You hide your face with such horrid disguise," he said, his hand brushing against my face. I hit away his hand and glared,"I saw him...what have you done?" I asked. "He is simply not here yet...although I've called him to me," he replied. "And I am here...what do you want Naraku?" a voice spoke from behind me. I turned around and looked at InuYasha. His eyes grew soft as he looked at me, walking towards me and taking my hand. "Oh InuYasha...do you love or lust...is the love that you have only a must?" Naraku whispered, smiling. InuYasha glared, clenching his other hand into a fist,"How dare you take her from me..." he whispered. "InuYasha, don't..." I said, entwining my fingers with his. But Naraku stepped forward and kissed me deeply, whispering in my ear,"Love never dies...but lust kills, dear," as his lips lingered upon mine, I began to choke. I fell to my knees and clutched my hands around my neck. InuYasha's hand slipped from mine as he watched in horror. Naraku stepped behind InuYasha, a knife held in his hands over InuYasha's head. "Inu...InuYasha..." I whispered, struggling and choking for words, coughing,"L-look out!" I screamed as Naraku stabbed InuYasha through the stomach. I began sobbing as my husband looked at the blade that was through him. He began coughing, holding himself up just barely. He pulled the knife from himself and lunged at Naraku, punching every inch of the hideous man's body with one hand. He stabbed Naraku with the knife in his other hand. I watched on with horror in my eyes, regaining my breath, as InuYasha stabbed Naraku's face and eyes, his arms and legs and his stomach and heart. Naraku laughed evilly, his body seeming to fade away in a thick purple fog. It seeped into InuYasha's wound and he fell to his knees. I went over to him and kneeled in front of him, crying. He coughed up some blood, his hand over his stomach,"...don't worry...it's not a big deal, Max...I've had worse..." he whispered. I stroked his hair,"Just don't die, InuYasha...please don't die...I love you..." I whispered back, tears rolling down my face. We stood together, my arm supporting him. He kissed me then, whispering,"Just in case..." I kissed back,"No...just for love..." I whispered.
