Using Love

Chrysolite Heart

 

A/N: Ok, so this is a Naraku/Kikyou fanfiction. It could be several chapters long, that's still undecided and I wrote this especially for the competition going on for who could write the best fanfiction for this couple. So, I don't own Inuyasha, now let's begin! : )

 

Chapter 1

 

“So, did you hear?” Kagura purred to her 1-year boyfriend Naraku. Naraku raised an eyebrow.

“Hear what?” he replied in a deep, velvet voice to match her tone.

“Some woman named Kikyou Miko is going to be moving into town. I hear she's mega-rich, didn't you notice the mansion that was just finished being built on the east side of town?” Kagura demanded. Naraku thought for a moment.

“Ah yes, I remember. Kikyou Miko is it?” Naraku confirmed. Kagura nodded with a smirk.

“I wonder what she could want in-- ” Suddenly she was cut off by a loud banging on the door to her apartment.

“Kagura Feudal, I want my rent money NOW!” the loud manly voice called from the other side of the door. Kagura rolled her eyes and got up in one swift movement to open the door. This was nothing new. She pulled open the door so quickly that the older-aged man almost fell in. He stared at Kagura in fury and his face became even redder when he registered the calm and bored expression on Kagura's face as she leaned against the door.

“I'm sorry, but I'm having a guest over at the moment, do you mind?” Kagura asked, nodding her head towards Naraku who was sitting on the couch and looking at the man with a well-practiced curious look. The man glanced at Naraku and then back to Kagura.

“Look, I'm sorry to interrupt,” his apology was more directed at Naraku than Kagura and Naraku smiled. “But Ms. Feudal, your rent pay is 6 months overdue; I might just have to kick you out if I don't get it soon!”

“My sincere apologies but as I've mentioned to you several times, I'm having a bit of trouble in the money department, can this wait another month? I promise I'll get the rent money to you as soon as I possibly can,” Kagura said in a sincere and convincing voice, one that someone would find it hard not to believe. The man sighed slowly and glared at Kagura.

“Fine, I'll wait another month but I expect that rent money soon…or else,” the man threatened. Kagura feigned a scared look and nodded her head quickly several times. Seeming to be pleased with Kagura's reaction the man turned, muttering angry words to himself that Kagura couldn't pick up, stormed down the hallway. Once he was gone Kagura snickered and shut the door behind her with a slightly loud bang. She came to sit back on the couch beside Naraku and he swung an arm around her. She flinched just slightly but Naraku didn't notice.

“So, what are we to do about your rent? I don't think we can hold that old man off much longer,” Naraku finally said. Kagura glanced at Naraku innocently.

“Well, I could always move in with you,” she suggested. Naraku glared at her angrily.

“We've been through this conversation. There's no room and I don't want you anywhere near my brother,” Naraku reminded her in a slightly harsh tone. Kagura blinked.

“Onigumo seems nice, what could be wrong with him?” Kagura asked.

“You don't know him like I do,” Naraku stated and then silenced, Kagura realized the conversation was over but found herself secretly smiling in amusement at Naraku's statement.

“Ok, so what are we going to do?” Kagura asked again, breaking the silence. Naraku seemed calmer and thought it through. Kagura waited, knowing Naraku needed time to think and didn't doubt he could come up with a plan. Suddenly, Naraku smiled deviously as an idea came to his mind.

“Say, what were we saying about this Kikyou Miko person, hm?” Naraku questioned, turning to Kagura. Kagura raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

“What do you want to know?” Kagura replied suspiciously. Naraku smiled.

“Everything you do,” Naraku responded. Kagura wagered what to tell him but eventually decided to just come out with everything; she took a deep breath before she began.

“Well I hear she's rich because her parents are, she's their only daughter so it would make sense. Not to mention she's also a well-known painter, she has several paintings of hers up in many different museums around the world, so I hear. I heard she wanted to move here because she didn't like the city life, the mansion was a gift from her parents…and her parents are also old friends with the mayor,” Kagura said after a short pause. Naraku waited for her to continue but she didn't.

“You left out an extremely important detail,” Naraku accused. Kagura raised an eyebrow, not believing him.

“Oh, and what would that be. I've told you about her family, her relationship to the town, her reasons for being here and what she does…what else is there?” Kagura demanded. Naraku smirked.

“Is she single?” he asked as more of a statement than a question. Kagura blinked.

“Oh, that's what you want to know. May I ask why?” Kagura questioned.

“I think I've found a way to pay your rent sweetheart,” Naraku responded. “Now answer the question,” Kagura paused to recall her memory of anything about Kikyou's status on relationships.

“Well, I know for a fact that she's coming down here alone and that she's not married or engaged so I suppose it's safe to say she's currently single, now do you want to tell me your master plan?” Kagura asked. Naraku smiled a toothy smile before replying.

“That's good, but do you really not see what I want to do? She's rich and single, isn't the answer obvious?” Naraku demanded. Kagura thought she understood but wasn't sure so she waited for Naraku to continue. Naraku sighed.

“Once she gets here, I'm going to make a move on her and claim her. I'll make her fall head over heels in love with me, we'll get married and then…” Kagura waited eagerly for the rest of his plan. “And then I'll kill her, and as her rightful husband I'll receive all her inheritance and of course all her money, and by that point, rent won't be a problem anymore will it?” Naraku finished with a satisfied smile. Kagura giggled and almost placed herself in his lap. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and Naraku returned it.

“You're brilliant, but I'm not so sure I like the idea of you with another woman right in front of my nose, and what if things backfire?” Kagura questioned. Naraku smirked.

“Have I ever made a promise I didn't or couldn't keep?” Naraku asked. Kagura shook her head `no'.

“Then this time won't be any different,” Naraku said.

“But the old man said I only have another month,” Kagura worried. Naraku smiled.

“When is this Kikyou getting here?” Naraku questioned. Kagura thought for a moment.

“2 days,” she responded shortly. Naraku smirked.

“Good, don't worry, I'll have your rent money by the end of the month,” Naraku assured her and they smiled at each other, the plan taking form in their minds.
