Toxic Love

It had been a week since the incident with Gatenmaru and Naraku was back in school.

“So how was your Spring break?” Kyo asked him.
“It was good, I guess.” He said to Kyo.
“Just good?” Kyo asked him.
“Yeah I hung out with my dad and brother.” Naraku said to him.
“I thought you were going to tell me you had some wild sex.” Kyo said.
“Who had sex?” Jakotsu asked
“No one!” Naraku yelled.
“Touchy.” Jakotsu cooed.
Naraku laid his head down on the table, he would be glad when this day was over. .
“You smell different.” Kyo said to him.
Naraku groaned as Kyo sniffed him. “Get your damn cat nose away from me.” Naraku said to him.
“Oooh, Naraku is in heat.” Kyo teased.

“Can I be your first?” Kyo asked him.
Naraku lifted his head up and glared at him. “No, you can’t be my first.” Naraku said to him.
“Please? We can go over to my house, tell your dad we’re studying.” He said to him.
“I don’t see him buying that seeing as I hardly study now.” Naraku reminded him.
The school bell rang.

Naraku walked to his locker and grabbed his books before walking out of the school.
“Hey Naraku...” Bankotsu said as he walked over to him.
“Bank, what are you doing here?” Naraku asked him.
“Just thought I drop by my old school,” He told him.
Naraku looked at him. “What do you want?" He asked him.
"Came to pick you up…why the hell, do you smell different?" Bankotsu asked him as they walked to his car.
"If you must know, I’m in heat." Naraku said to him.
"And dad let you come to school?" he asked him.

"Yeah..." Naraku said "I couldn't stay home and miss all of this...umm what do we do here...oh right learning.”

"Uh huh...” He said as they got in the car. "Do you have a girlfriend yet?" he asked Naraku as he drove home.
"No, why are you asking me all these questions?" Naraku asked him.
"I just want to know how my brother is doing." He said.
"My love life is fine. I’m not the one about to become a dad." Naraku told him.
"Yeah, I shouldn't have slept with Kikyou; at least her cousin is nicer." Bankotsu said.
"Bank, what would say if I told you I liked other guys?" Naraku asked him.

Bankotsu stopped the car. "Gay....are you? Do you? I’m not, I have gay friends it’s just...are you?"

"Yes I’m in love with another man." Naraku said to him. Bankotsu was silent for a while as the cars were honking behind him.
"How long?" he asked Naraku.
“For the past few weeks..." Naraku told him as Bankotsu started the car again.
"Does dad know?" Bankotsu asked him. "Maybe..." Naraku said.

“Has he confronted you about it?" Bankotsu asked

"Not really." Naraku answered. When they got home, Naraku got out and walked in the house.
"Hello young master." Jaken said to him.
"Yeah..." Naraku said as he walked in the kitchen to fix himself a snack.
Bankotsu came in and walked into the kitchen. "So have you had sex with this guy?" He asked.

Naraku blushed. "Yes." He said shyly.

"Just in case you’re gonna come out and tell dad something and you need our support, Kagome and I will have dinner here tonight," Bankotsu offered.

"I'm not you. He didn't kick me out." Naraku said to him as he started his homework. Bankotsu pulled out his cell phone and called Kagome.
"Hey, hon, how about we have dinner at my dad’s tonight?" Bankotsu asked Kagome. "That sounds great I'll be there at seven." She said and hung up.
Naraku groaned. “Are you thinking he’ll kick me out?" Naraku asked him.

"If he kicks you out...you always have me" Bankotsu said
"I'll stay with Grandma and them." Naraku said.
"Why would you be staying with my parents?" Sesshoumaru said as he walked in the house.
"Heh, no reason..." Naraku said as he went back to doing his homework.
"Hey dad, Kagome and I are having dinner with you." Bankotsu said
“How’s Kikyou?" Sesshoumaru asked; how he hated that human.
"Pregnant still" Bankotsu said "Kagome will be here at seven”. Bankotsu changed the subject.


“When is the baby due?" Naraku asked.
"In a few more months," Bankotsu said to him.
"Well I’m going up to my room to finish my homework.” Naraku said as he grabbed his book bag.
Sesshoumaru looked at him. “I’ll come and get you for dinner." Sesshoumaru said to him. Naraku nodded his head and went up to his room.
"I wonder what's wrong with him." Sesshoumaru asked as he walked into the kitchen to tell the cook they would be having guests over for dinner.

Bankotsu just stared at his father, he so badly wanted his brother to be able to live a normal life, but even now being gay wasn't an easy thing to be.

Naraku finished his home work and walked into his bathroom to take a quick shower, he hoped dinner would go well tonight.
He finished his shower and walked back into his bedroom with a towel draped over his head and his bathrobe on.
He walked over to his bed and sat down. "I hope he isn’t mad.” He said as he got up and walked over to his closet to get his clothes.

"I wonder what Bank will do...if he ever finds out...." Naraku trailed off not wanting to dwell on the ‘what ifs’.

Sesshoumaru decided to go and check on Naraku since dinner would soon be ready. Sesshoumaru knocked on the door before walking in. He walked in to see his young lover sitting at his desk, checking his emails.
Sesshoumaru silently closed the door and walked over to him. He placed his hand on Naraku's shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Sesshoumaru asked him. Naraku flinched as he turned around to face Sesshoumaru. "Nothing’s wrong, I was just a little unnerved with Bankotsu being here and then I was still thinking about Gatenmaru, how he came here and you told me to leave for a while." Naraku told him.
"You don't have to worry about Gatenmaru. I will handle him." Sesshoumaru assured him. "Now, come on, dinner should be ready by now." Sesshoumaru told him.
Sesshoumaru kissed Naraku on his lips before opening the bedroom door.

Naraku kept thinking about Sesshoumaru’s ex Gatenmaru. Is he really over him, does he love me, do I mean anything to him?

The maid answered the door for Kagome. Kagome wore a light blue dress. She wore her hair up.
"Hello Mr. Taisho, nice to see you again." She said to him.
"Nice to see you as well,” Sesshoumaru said with a smile.
"Hi, Naraku,” Kagome said to him.
"Hi, Kagome," Naraku said to her. Bankotsu kissed Kagome on her cheek as they all sat down at the dinning table. The servants bought the food to the table.

After the servants left, they began to eat.
"Naraku, don’t you have something to tell dad?" Bank asked him.

"I was hoping to bring it up after dinner." Naraku said.
"Is something wrong?" Sesshoumaru asked the two.
"It depends on how you take the news." Bankotsu said to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru turned to look at Naraku; he could tell that, whatever it was, it was making Naraku, nervous.
"Let’s save the news until after we eat please." Kagome said trying to help Naraku out.


Dinner was quiet except for the occasional cough. "Mr. Taisho, are you ready to be a grandfather?" Kagome asked Sesshoumaru.
"To be honest, I wasn't at first, but you get over it." he said.

++++

When dinner was over, the servants cleared the table.
"Okay Naraku what is it you want to tell me?" Sesshoumaru asked him.

"Dad," Naraku began, "I can't hide it anymore...I’m in love with a man.” He said

Bankotsu and Kagome kept quiet and waited for Sesshoumaru’s response.
Sesshoumaru looked at Naraku. "Are you now?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
Naraku nodded.
“And did you think I was going to be angry?" Sesshoumaru asked him,.
"Tell me Naraku are you seeing anyone?" Sesshoumaru asked him half smiling.
"Yes, I love him." He said. Bankotsu couldn’t believe it Naraku wasn't getting yelled at, if that was him, he'd be in trouble.

Of course, he did get a girl pregnant, a girl he didn't love or intend to marry. But it wasn't fair, their dad was playing favorites.
"You’re okay with this?" Bankotsu asked him.
"Yes, why wouldn’t I be?" Sesshoumaru asked
"You weren't okay when I got Kikyou pregnant" Bankotsu said "I don't think that’s fair"

“You slept with that girl, and you knew I never liked her!" Sesshoumaru yelled at him. "It's always this way, no matter what Naraku does, he gets away with it, ever since he was little, first my parents spoil him, then when you adopt us you spoil him!" Bankotsu yelled. "Bank..." Kagome said.
"What?!" he yelled.
"Stop this!" She yelled back.
"We better go." Bankotsu said as he stood up. Naraku looked at his brother.
"Bank..." Naraku said to him.
"I'll call you." Bankotsu said and left with Kagome.

Naraku turned to Sesshoumaru. "I'm going upstairs to get ready for bed.” Naraku said.
While Naraku was getting ready for bed, Sesshoumaru walked to the front door and looked at the moon.
Sesshoumaru’s cell phone rang. He looked at who was calling him. He had a slight smile on his face as he answered. "Hello." He said into the phone.
"Ryura…" Sesshoumaru said.
"Hey Sessh, I know this is out of the blue, but I need to talk to you." He said.

"Where are you?'' Sesshoumaru said "Are you in trouble...should I bring money or a gun?”
"I'm fine. I just want to see you." Ryura assured him.
"Where are you?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"I'm, at the old diner." He said.
"Give me twenty minutes”. Sesshoumaru said and hung up.
Sesshoumaru went back in the house and the steps and walked into Naraku’s room.
"Hey." Naraku said.
"Listen I have to go out for a while, don't wait up." Sesshoumaru told him and left.

Naraku just sat there staring at his door, his imagination running wild, where was he going and who was going to be there.
*****************************************************************************
Sesshoumaru got into his car and drove to the diner he parked the car and went inside sitting in a corner booth was Ryura.
Ryura waved at him. Sesshoumaru walked over to him.

Ryura had blue hair and light blue eyes. Ryura stood up and hugged him. Sesshoumaru hugged him back. "I missed you." Ryura said to him.
"Ryura before you say anything, I’m seeing someone." Sesshoumaru told him.

"So am I but that didn't stop us last time Sesshou, my love" Ryura said.
