Chapter 10: Naraku takes control

 

 

Naraku walked into the sleeping girl's room. His steps made no sound as he approached her bed and watched her. He had been coming to her side for several nights whispering spells into her ear, but her powers were too strong even under the seal and all his spells had failed. Her attachment to Sesshoumaru was still there and that bothered him a great deal, though he didn't know why.

“Hate him. It's allright to hate him.” He whispered in her ear.

“He used you...you were merely a toy to him. You are nothing to him. Nothing.” Naraku kept whispering, moving his fingers over her neck in strange patterns. It was a powerful spell and if this didn't work he didn't know what else would.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes and they bared a tint of red. She turned them toward Naraku, whispering in an absent voice:

“Why?”

He was taken aback by her reaction. The slight reddish glow to her eyes indicated the spell was working, but she wasn't supposed to talk back to him, much less ask him questions.

“Sesshoumaru used you. You should hate him.” He answered moving his fingers over her chest on the side of the heart.

The girl's body contorted suddenly and she started shivering.

“She's resisting...How the hell is she still resisting?!” He thought bitterly.

She turned her dark eyes to his and tears started to wash away the red tint.

“I...I can't...” She mumbled weakly, still not appearing to be aware of him.

“You can't hate him?” Naraku asked puzzled.

“I...can't...hate.” She replied, closing her eyes and settling down.

He stopped his spell, contemplating the now sleeping girl. That was why his spells weren't working. She couldn't hate. There was no darkness within her soul, even as she was suffering. She was unique, no less expected from the reincarnation of the greatest Miko to have ever lived.

That didn't work...but there was an alternative. If she couldn't hate Sesshoumaru, he would make her love this Naraku.

“Yes...” He grinned as he started to whisper something into her ear. Her body tensed and her breath became heavy. Naraku kept whispering his spell as she opened her eyes that bared again a red tint. Her body started to shiver and he kept whispering, putting all of his energy into the spell to make it more powerful. The girl suddenly closed her eyes and her body twisted so hard it looked like it was going to break. When she opened her eyes again they were completely red and she turned them to him.

Naraku smirked and his face drew closer to hers. Was it working?
”Nara...ku.” A soft whisper caressed his ears.

He leaned even closer, his warm breath touching her lips. She didn't push him away nor did she make any protests. It was working.

He suddenly kissed her, aggressively, moving his body over hers.

No.

He would wait until Sesshoumaru got here and before his eyes, in the safety of his barrier, he would make her his. He stopped to examine the girl's features. She still looked so innocent even with the red gleam of her eyes. She had remained silent and Naraku noticed her eyes seemed somewhat empty. The spell had gone wrong somehow. She was supposed to remain herself, just fall deeply in love with him. He got off her and said slowly:

“Get up.”

The girl obeyed with an absent expression.

The spell had gone wrong...but it was for the best. He now had somehow acquired control over her. Things had a way of working out for Naraku.

With a wave of his hand a blue and black garment appeared.

“You will ware this. Now.” He commanded.

Kumiko slowly took off the kimono from Sesshoumaru, remaining in her undergarments, and took the new clothes.

Naraku watched her beautiful body with a grin. He saw it before Sesshoumaru. She had perfect curves that made him lust to touch, but for the moment he just sat and watched her get dressed in the new clothes. They were a black Miko outfit.

“Rest.” He said in a low voice as he got out of the room.

“Let's see how Kagura's doing...” He thought, malice shining in his blood colored orbs.

 

Kagura reached Sesshoumaru as he was speeding in the direction Kagome had pointed for a while and still didn't get anywhere.

She landed right in front of him, making him stop.

“Naraku has sent me to delay you.” She said softly.

“You cannot delay me.” The demon lord said calmly.

“Nor do I wish to.” She answered. “If he has ordered me this it means you are on the right path.”

“Have you come all this way just to tell me that?” He asked, his golden eyes capturing hers.

“No.” She replied looking with regret in his beautiful eyes. She pointed to the Saymioushou flying above her and added: “I just wanted to...”

The words stopped in her throat as she fell on her knees, struggling with pain, both hands clutched on her empty chest.

“Just wanted to...see you...one last time...” She whispered weakly.

Her tinted red eyes filled with tears, but her gaze remained fixed on him until she gave out a horrible cry of pain and started turning into dust before his eyes.

He watched with pity as the wind carried the dust that was once Kagura away. Now she was the wind...and she was truly free, he thought.

The taiyoukai took to the air. At least now, he knew that he was going in the right direction. The wind seemed to caress his face and he addressed it in a low voice: “He will pay soon.”

 

Naraku held Kagura's broken heart in his hand.

“That bitch...I should have killed her earlier.” He thought. He didn't expect her to oppose him directly in such a foolish way as she did. Her feelings for Sesshoumaru were much deeper than he thought.

“It's strange how such a pathetic emotion as love could have these effects on humans and youkai alike.”

Sesshoumaru was just moments away. Naraku knew that as he got up and went to Kumiko's room. He found the girl lying on the bed with her red eyes open. The half-demon took her in his arms and sat down on the bed.

A breaking sound and the feel of powerful demonic energy alerted him to the arrival of the demon lord.

Sesshoumaru could smell Kumiko and Naraku's scent and in a split second, he was in the room. The sight before him made him growl in anger. The half-breed was holding her in his disgusting arms.

“Let her go now!” Sesshoumaru spat, barely controlling his anger as he pulled out one of his swords.

Naraku quickly erected a barrier and took one more glance with eyes beaming of satisfaction at the demon lord. Then he leaned, kissed the girl on the lips biting them, and started to descend to her neck.

Sesshoumaru attacked the barrier but his actions seemed to have no effect. The sight of that dirty hanyou kissing the woman that was his, made him lose control and transform into his true form. The giant white demon hound was roaring, red eyes gleaming with anger as his impressive stature tore down the roof of the mansion. He jumped in the air and smashed into Naraku's barrier that seemed to shake. He repeated the move, attacking with his giant claws. The barrier couldn't hold up any longer.

Naraku had never seen Sesshoumaru's true form before and had no idea it bared such power.

“Damn him!” He cursed in his mind and released the girl from his arms, realizing he was now in real danger.

“Kill him.” He commanded the girl as he whispered the spell that released her purifying powers.

The barrier fell apart as the demon hound roared, raising one of his huge clawed paws to hit Naraku.

Kumiko slowly stepped in front of the hanyou and the hound stopped with his paw in mid-air and his terrifying eyes showing astonishment.

Naraku grinned and, from behind, his claws made a cut in the girl's neck and a drop of blood came out. He took a little vile out of his pocket and stored the drop of blood.

Sesshoumaru reverted to his human form, his unreadable mask now gone and his face showing a mix of extreme anger and worry.

Naraku took off in a cloud of shouki, followed by his poisonous bees.

Sesshoumaru jumped quickly over the girl, trying to catch up with the hanyou, when Kumiko's purifying energy hit him. She had not injured him, but pushed him to the ground as Naraku disappeared from his sight. Kumiko followed him outside and her empty eyes looked through Sesshoumaru, like she didn't recognize him.

She extended her arms to purify him as he jumped out of the way, not sure of what to do.

There was nothing he could do but dodge her attacks as he could not fight her. The thought of hurting her never crossed his mind as he avoided the bursts of purifying energy with fluid motions.

Suddenly he felt a burning pain in his chest and both his arms clutched on to it. He looked at the girl that held one of her arms out in his direction. However, no pinkish-white light erupted from it, and yet the burning sensation in his chest grew stronger.

Sesshoumaru put one knee on the ground as his beautiful face contorted with pain.

What was she doing? How was she doing it? The questions flew rapidly through Sesshoumaru's mind as the pain took over and seemed to burn his heart, his very soul.

Kumiko suddenly released him dropping to her knees with her nails deep in the hand that aimed at Sesshoumaru. The nails cut her flesh as good as human nails could and drops of blood started to show on her arm.

Her body started to shiver uncontrollably as she whispered weakly:

“I...won't...”

Naraku's voice rang in the back of her mind:

“Kill him.”
”I....WON'T!” She screamed as the red tint of her eyes began to fade.

An aura of light surrounded her, her body still shivering and she collapsed on the ground.

With blinding speed, Sesshoumaru was next to her, pulling her into his arms. Her heartbeat was slow and weak but at least it was there. He cradled her in his arms, stroking her soft golden hair. The filthy hanyou's scent was still upon her and it filled him with rage. How dare he touch what was his, how dare he put his disgusting hands on the purest creature on this earth.

Sesshoumaru's eyes had become glowing red without him even realizing it. The girl twitched in his lap and his orbs regained their golden color as he held her even tighter, as close to his heart as he could.

 

 

A/N: I'm going on vacation now, so I won't be updating for a couple of weeks, but don't worry, I've already began to write the next chapter. Please feel free to leave reviews and other such things; they'll make a pleasant surprise for me when I get back! :) I like to know I'm not writing in vane.

Thanks!
