InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sleeping with the Enemy ❯ Needs ( Chapter 5 )

Author's Note: This chapter focuses a little more on Kagome's feelings and emotions than the others did...it's a bit more boring than the rest. Though there is still some lemony goodness, it is not the main focus in this chapter.

The next chapter will have InuYasha and the others in it. It was not my original intent to have this become an actual story...but rather a very short story that wasn't much more than smut. Anyway, now that this is going to be an actual Naraku/Kagome fic (there aren't nearly enough of them...at least that do the pairing justice) I will be bringing the other characters into it. Sorry for the long wait, but I have the next chapter half written, so I should update again soon. Thanks for your support and patience! ~Kilala81

"Are you using me?" Again she felt tears in her eyes. He glanced at her and then back over the gardens. "My intentions were to use your body and send you back to InuYasha." She took a deep breath and looked at him again. "And what are your intentions now?" He continued to stare at the garden, not giving her an answer.

Chapter Five

Needs

Kagome stood silently next to Naraku, her feelings mixed up and completely confused. She waited for him to answer her and finally asked again. "What are your intentions, now? Am I only here for your sick pleasure?" Even as the words crossed her lips, she knew they were ridiculous. What other reason was there for her to be there with him? She was speaking to Naraku. He had no heart; he would probably kill her and take the jewel shards when he grew tired of her.

She felt herself become overwhelmed with tears again. How could she have been so stupid? She had allowed this monster to touch her, to take away her innocence. He turned to her with an emotionless face, which only made her feel worse.

"Why are you crying?" He asked. She stood there glaring at him. "Why do you care? As I recall, you don't care what I do…at least not until tonight when you decide you want to use me again." He stared at her for nearly a full minute, noting the tears and honest pain in her. He then turned away before he spoke.

"I have already told you that I will not take you against your will. I have no desire to force myself on you. If you are in my bed tonight, it will be because you choose to be." As he said the words, he nearly stunned himself when he realized that he meant them. So many times he had taken pleasure in the cries of women as he brutalized them. Yet, the thought of hurting her did not appeal to him. He had no desire to see her in pain, especially pain inflicted by him in bed. Naraku very much enjoyed bringing pleasure to her. Her soft cries of delight and the look of innocent wonder that crossed her face; intrigued him.

He turned to her again. She was now looking at him sadly but her tears had stopped. "I have business to tend to. You may enjoy the gardens and the castle for the rest of the afternoon." He turned and left her, not at all comfortable with himself at the moment.

Kagome spent the rest of the day alone, not knowing where Naraku had gone or what he intended to do with her once he got back. She tried to entertain herself by reading and strolling through the immense gardens, but her thoughts kept wondering to Naraku.

Hours after he left her, a servant approached her in the garden and informed her that dinner would be served soon then led her back to her quarters to ready herself. She dressed slowly and stalled as much as possible, until finally the servant returned for her. Kagome followed to the dining room slowly and was both relieved and disappointed that Naraku was not there. This night she ate alone and then decided to head back to the room that Naraku had given to her to use.

Kagome walked the corridor slowly, and stopped when she found the room Naraku was in. He was sitting near the window gazing outside. The room was dark, but he was bathed in the light of the moon. She watched him for a moment and realized just how sad and lonely he looked. She stepped into the room but he never glanced her way, though she knew he was aware of her presence. She couldn't believe how beautiful he looked sitting there. She stepped further into the room keeping her eyes on him the entire time. Without speaking, she sat beside him and stared out the window. She ventured a quick glance at him and began to realize just how foolishly she had behaved.

Naraku was her enemy. He could have easily killed or raped her, yet he hadn't. She couldn't expect anything from him, nor did she want anything from him. They had shared pleasure and nothing more. He had used her, but she had also used him. She didn't love him, she wasn't even sure she liked him, yet she allowed him to bring her pleasure. Even though she didn't care for him, she did desire to be with him. Kagome shook her head slightly and glanced at him again, becoming more aware of his presence every second she sat there.

She was startled from her thoughts when she heard Naraku speak in a husky voice. "Did you come here for a reason?" She turned to look at him again. "Yes, I came to apologize to you." Naraku turned to face her, surprised by her words, though not allowing the surprise to register on his face. "Apologize to me, priestess? Why would you do such a thing?" Kagome looked down at her hands, trying to figure that out herself.

This was Naraku...he was not deserving of her apology. He was a monster that had killed Kikyo and made InuYasha suffer that pain. He had cursed Miroku and killed Sango's family, taking her little brother as his slave. She looked back at him about to tell him just that, when she saw his eyes. They were lonely eyes. Eyes full of pain and sadness. Kagome stared at him for a moment before he turned back to the window. She certainly didn't agree with the things he had done to her friends, but now she was curious to know why he had done them. What made Naraku the cruel demon he was, yet someone that could touch her so gently.

"Naraku..." she said simply, not able to find any other words to say. He slowly took his eyes off the moon that he was studying so intently and turns back towards her. "Yes?" He said, not sure why she was even in the room with him. Kagome watched him for a moment then brought her lips to his softly. She didn't know why she wanted to kiss him, or even why she wanted to be there with him, but she did. She got onto her knees and moved closer, not breaking the kiss. Naraku's arms slowly circled around her and pulled her tightly against him, at the same time she felt him let out a deep moan.

She couldn't deny that she wanted him nor would he deny that he wanted her. But Kagome felt something deeper than physical wanting between them. So often she had been reminded that she was Kikyo's reincarnation...so many times she had felt inadequate. It always hurt to know that she was a reminder of InuYasha's past love. She held in that pain, needing to be strong. Getting the jewel was the important thing. She felt a similar pain in Naraku...though she didn't understand it. Being with him was almost comforting, like being with someone that understood her. Kagome was beginning to realize that you don't have to love someone to need them. And right now she needed Naraku.

Her hands began pulling at his kimono, while she deepened the kiss. Quickly, he helped pull his kimono away and again drew her against him, while his hands roamed over her body hungrily. Within moments they had removed the rest of their clothes and Kagome was straddling him, moving in a slow sensual motion above him. Naraku moved his mouth to her neck savoring the taste of her. Though he would never say the words out loud, he was pleased that she had come to him. He slowly kissed his way up to her ear and nipped it gently before speaking to her between breaths. "Why did you come to me?"

Rather than answer, she brought her lips to his, putting as much force behind them as she could. He kissed her back, pulling her body against his, smirking slightly when she bit his bottom lip and slid her tongue into his mouth. It took all of his willpower to keep from scratching her back or pulling on her hair in response to her aggressive behavior.

Finally, he rolled her to the floor and began kissing her neck and shoulder before moving to her breasts. Kagome arched from the ground when she felt his hot breath on her skin. He nipped at her gently before moving to her nipple, teasing it with his tongue before taking it into his mouth. He was setting her whole body was on fire and she wanted him. She wrapped her legs around him tightly, moving her hips towards him, desperate to have him full fill her again. Her actions actually caused him to chuckle slightly as he moved back up and kissed her.

He held himself back needing to know why this human had come to him. He broke their kiss and looked down at her. The amount of desire in her eyes almost overwhelmed him. "Why did you come to me tonight, Priestess?" Kagome nearly shivered hearing his raspy voice. She closed her eyes and laid her head back.

"I needed you." She whispered, the words barely finding his ears. He watched her for a moment more then brought his lips to hers roughly at the same time he drove into her. Kagome's nails dug into his shoulders at the sudden painful pleasure. Naraku was lost in his own needs. He wanted her...craved her. All thoughts of her being his enemy; and InuYasha's companion, were gone. She was his right now. His to have, his to consume...and his alone.

Kagome clung to him desperately, crying out in pleasure and pulling herself to him tighter. She felt him kissing and biting her neck, his actions becoming more frantic as he moved faster. Her own body was growing tense. She could feel her self reaching the edge and was holding back, wanting to make it last as long as possible. Despite her efforts, she was soon hit with a rush of pure ecstasy. Her cries and trembling body brought Naraku quickly to his own peak. He then slowed, thrusting into her a few more times, prolonging both their pleasure, before stopping and looking down at her.

Even now, after he had used her, she looked innocent. He again wondered how a human female could affect him so, but chose to ignore the nagging feeling. Clearly, she was attractive and young. It had to be her body that made him so vulnerable to her. He pulled away from her and began to pull his clothes back on. "You will be in my bed tonight?" He asked, though his voice hinted that it was more a statement than a question. Kagome sat up and dressed herself then followed Naraku to his room, where she would again sleep in the bed of her enemy.
