Toxic Love

Sesshoumaru woke up the next morning to the smell of burning food. He then looked over to see Naraku not in the bed. He threw the covers off and ran down the stairs, only to see Naraku burning breakfast. "What are you doing?!" Sesshoumaru yelled.

"I was trying to make breakfast in bed. What did you do, replace the oven?" he asked Sesshoumaru.

"No, you’re just accident prone." Sesshoumaru said to him as he walked over to the stove and turned it off.

Naraku pulled out the pancakes and saw they were pitch-black. Sesshoumaru laughed. "You’re really a piece of work." Sesshoumaru said, throwing the pancakes into the garbage. Naraku put some more on the pan and started to cook again. "Oh no you don't." Sesshoumaru said, grabbing the spatula from Naraku.

"What? I'm cooking breakfast." Naraku said.

"Not anymore, you’re not." Sesshoumaru said, smirking.

Naraku pouted. "It was supposed to be a surprise." Naraku said.

"It was, me waking up to you almost burning down the house was a surprise." Sesshoumaru said, laughing.

Naraku sat down at the table grumbling to him. Sesshoumaru finished the pancakes and placed them on a plate. "See this is how you make them." Sesshoumaru said to him.

"I was doing fine until you came down." Naraku pouted.

"Keep telling yourself that." Sesshoumaru teased as he brought the plate over to the table. He then poured some orange juice into a glass for Naraku. He then poured himself a cup of coffee. At least Naraku didn’t burn it.

"What are we doing today?" Naraku asked with a mouth full of pancakes.

Sesshoumaru sighed. "Working on your table manners, and I'm taking you out." He told him.

“Where are we going?" Naraku asked. "It's a surprise." Sesshoumaru said, drinking some coffee. Naraku pouted and ate some more pancakes. Sesshoumaru stifled a laugh.

After breakfast, Naraku went upstairs and took a shower and got dressed. He came downstairs to see Sesshoumaru ready and waiting by the door. "You ready now?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm ready." Naraku said. They walked out of the house and out to the car.

Naraku sat in the passenger seat, he turned the radio on once Sesshoumaru started the car.

Naraku's cell rang. He picked it up, ignoring Sesshoumaru's glare. "Hey, Kyo, what’s up?" Naraku asked his friend.

"Where are you?" Kyo asked.

"Oh out with my love, I mean dad." Naraku said catching himself.

"So what happened the other day on the phone?" Kyo asked him.

"Oh he was in one of his moods you know how old people are." Naraku said.

"This old person can make you feel like jelly." Sesshoumaru told him.

Naraku gulped. "Kyo, I have to go. I'll try to call you later." 'If I'm not dead.' Naraku added in his thoughts, before hanging up his phone. He looked at Sesshoumaru and said, "There, all done." Naraku said. Sesshoumaru nodded and looked back at the road in front of them. They stopped at a restaurant and walked inside to see Sesshoumaru's mom sitting at a table.

"Hey, grandma!" Naraku said as he sat down at the table.

"Hello Sesshoumaru, Naraku." She said, looking from her son to her grandson.

"Mother, I’m glad you could come on such short notice." Sesshoumaru said. "Well you said you would be taking Naraku on vacation soon." She said. "Yes, next year he will be in the 12th grade and hopefully he’ll pass all his classes." Sesshoumaru said looking at Naraku.

Naraku ignored him and picked up the menu. "Whatever." Naraku said as he looked at what they had for dessert.

"Naraku are you hungry." Sesshoumaru’s mom asked him.

"Yes I am actually." He said Sesshoumaru looked at him. He just had six pancakes for breakfast plus two glasses of juice. Sesshoumaru thinks in slight amusement, though mostly annoyance.

“What? Pancakes don't exactly fill me up." Naraku said, noticing his father's look. He then looked back at the menu, trying to decide on what to get. The waitress came over and took his order.

“I’ll have the double cheeseburger, fries and Chocolate milkshake.” Naraku told the waitress.

“Can I get anything for you two?” She asked Sesshoumaru and his mom.

“No thank you.” They both said.

The waitress nodded her head and left.

Naraku looked over at his grandmother. "So, is there anything new in the family?" Naraku asked.

"No, just the usual; your grandfather being himself..." She said.

"Stepfather, so step grandfather…" Sesshoumaru rudely corrects.

"Oh, Sesshoumaru, when will you accept him into the family?" Shira asked.

"Never…" Sesshoumaru said, drinking some water.

Shira sighed. "Sessh, you have to understand, I love you, and I loved your father, but it just didn't work out between us. So we split up, decided to meet other people. And I met your stepfather." Shira said, looking out the window.

Naraku looked at his grandma and then at his father. "You accepted Inuyasha’s mom. You don’t have me call her step grandmother." Naraku pointed out.

"No why would he, Sesshoumaru thinks his father can do no wrong." Shira said. Sesshoumaru growled, his hand went under the table and he grabbed Naraku's thigh squeezing in warning for him to shut up.

"So Naraku, do you have someone special in your life?" She asked.

"Heh, funny you should ask." Naraku said to her.

"You do. Who is she or he?" she asked with excitement as the waitress came back placing Naraku's meal in front of him.

Naraku took a fry and bit it and looked at Shira. "It's a guy. He’s a jerk sometimes." Naraku said looking at Sesshoumaru.

“Oh? How can he be a jerk?" Shira asked.

"Well, he is kind of controlling; won't really let me near any other males unless they are a part of the family." Naraku said, drinking some of his shake.

Shira nodded. "That's how Sesshoumaru's father was. Inu youkai are so protective." Shira said, laughing. Sesshoumaru nodded. Naraku looked at Sesshoumaru through the corner of his eye.

"Is he good to you?" Shira asked.

"Yeah, he's great that way." Naraku said.

"Is he older than you?" she asked.

"Yeah, I call him old man." Naraku said laughing. Sesshoumaru watched as Naraku inhaled his food. "Slow down before you choke yourself." Sesshoumaru said to him.

Sesshoumaru cleared his throat." Mother what I am about to tell you, Father already knows." Sesshoumaru said.

"Okay what is it?" Shira asked.

"My lover is Naraku." He said.

Shira chocked on her drink. "What?!" she yelled.

"Yes, grandma, it's true." Naraku said, eating some of his cheeseburger. Shira was speechless. The next thing they knew, Shira fainted, falling onto the floor. Before she made impact, Sesshoumaru caught her and started fanning her face with his hand. 'I thought she would have this type of reaction.' Sesshoumaru thought. He then paid for the meal and picked his mother up and put her in the car, driving to the house.

Naraku locked the front door while Sesshoumaru laid Shira on the sofa. "Wow she took it worse than your dad." he said.

"So I see." Sesshoumaru said as he got a damp towel and placed it on his mom's forehead. Naraku yawned and walked into the kitchen and got some ice-cream. He came back out and sat down in the chair and waited with Sesshoumaru for Shira to awaken.

A few hours later, Shira woke up and sat up on the couch. "Where am I?" Shira asked. "You’re at our home." Sesshoumaru said, walking over and sitting on the couch beside her. Shira nodded. "I didn't know you would take the news so badly." Naraku said, eating more ice cream. "Naraku, would you put that away, please?" Sesshoumaru said. Naraku pouted as he reluctantly put the ice cream in the freezer. He then walked back in and sat down.

"It's just a surprise to me." she said.

"I know. I tried to resist him but my beast wanted him, and he wasn't like his brother he always wanted to be around me, and the more he was around me, the more I became attracted to him. “Sesshoumaru told her.

"Well if you’re happy then I am happy." she said. "Sesshoumaru dear are you feeding Naraku?" she asked.

"Yes, I am." Sesshoumaru said looking at Naraku.

"Then why is he eating so much?" Shira asked.

"I'm not sure, mother. I'll make an appointment with the doctor for him." Sesshoumaru said as he looked at Naraku, who was now eating a banana. Naraku smiled at them and took a bite. Sesshoumaru sighed. He then grabbed the phone and called the doctor's office. He made an appointment for Naraku on Saturday morning at 9:30.

After Shira left Naraku laid down on the sofa. "You know you’re going to get fat." Sesshoumaru said to him.

"I don't think so, I can't get fat." Naraku told him.

"Well you’re going to the doctor Saturday." Sesshoumaru told him.

"I don't wanna." Naraku whined.

"Stop being a big baby you’re 16 years old now." Sesshoumaru reprimanded him.

Naraku pouted as he finished his banana and went into the kitchen to throw away the peel. He came back into the living room and sat on the sofa with Sesshoumaru. Naraku sighed and laid his head back on the sofa. "I miss Bank." Naraku said.

"Well, we could go see him, if you want." Sesshoumaru said. Naraku snapped his head up and looked at his father.

"Really? You can see him without getting into a fight?" Naraku asked.

"Of course I can, besides Kikyou is due with the baby very soon." Sesshoumaru said to him. "That’s right you’re going to be a grandfather, how does that make you feel?" Naraku teased.

"It'll all be worth it seeing as Saturday you will be in the doctor’s office." Sesshoumaru said knowing that it would scare Naraku. Naraku sweat dropped. "Y…You will be in the room with me right?" Naraku asked.

"No, your sixteen now, you can handle it." Sesshoumaru said, flipping through the channels on the TV. "You’re kidding, right?" Naraku asked.

"Nope, dead serious." Sesshoumaru replied, smirking. Naraku crawled over and laid down on Sesshoumaru on the sofa, resting his cheek on Sesshoumaru's chest, hearing his heartbeat.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday morning Naraku was sleeping peacefully when he was awoken by having the shower on his body. "Wha!" he yelled.

"Good morning to you too…" Sesshoumaru said to him.

"What is this, have you gone mad?!" Naraku yelled.

"It was the only way to wake you up, now hurry up so we can go to the doctor’s Sesshoumaru told him.

Naraku grumbled some curses and showered. He then got out and put on some loose clothes, his other ones felt too tight for some reason. When he was ready, Sesshoumaru and Naraku got into the car and drove to the doctor's. They walked into the waiting room and sat down. A few minutes later, the nurse came out and called Naraku. Before Sesshoumaru knew it, he was being dragged down the hall by Naraku who was following the nurse. She had him measured and weighed, they then walked into a room and Naraku and Sesshoumaru sat down and waited for the doctor.

“Big baby..." Sesshoumaru said. Naraku yawned and ran a hand through his hair.

"Can we go on vacation after this?" Naraku asked.

"We will see what the doctor has to say first." Sesshoumaru

"There’s nothing wrong with me." Naraku assured him.

"Then why are you eating all the time and why don’t your clothes fit?" Sesshoumaru asked him.

Naraku growled at Sesshoumaru in warning. To say he was surprised would be an understatement. Then the doctor walked into the room. "Hello, Naraku, Mr. Taisho."

"Doctor…" Sesshoumaru said, bowing his head in acknowledgment.

"So, what are you in for?" The doctor asked.

"He has been eating as if starving, and his clothes don't fit." Sesshoumaru said, indicating to Naraku's tee-shirt and sweats.

"I see…" the doctor said.”Naraku how long has this been going on?" the doctor asked him.

"For the last couple of days..." Naraku told him.

"Well he has gained 10 pounds.” The doctor told Sesshoumaru.

"We'll take some blood test and then see what the results are." he said. Sesshoumaru nodded his head.

The doctor walked over to Naraku and got a needle out. "Get that away from me!" Naraku yelled.

Naraku scooted back until his back hit the wall. "Naraku let him take some blood." Sesshoumaru said.

He then walked over to Naraku and covered his eyes, his touch relaxed Naraku immediately. He didn't even feel when the needle entered his skin. When Sesshoumaru uncovered his eyes, the needle was on the desk, full with blood.

Naraku sighed. "Now that wasn't so bad, now was it?" Sesshoumaru asked after the doctor left. Naraku growled. Sesshoumaru then walked over to him and making sure nobody was coming, kissed Naraku hard on the lips, keeping him quiet.

Naraku whimpered when Sesshoumaru ended the kiss. "If you behave I'll take you to the park." Sesshoumaru teased.

"What am I five?" Naraku asked him.

"You know you're rather moody lately." Sesshoumaru said to him.

"No I’m not." Naraku said. Sesshoumaru sighed and waited for the doctor to return.

"What's taking him so long?" Naraku asked.

"He'll be back soon it’s only been ten minutes." Sesshoumaru told him.

The doctor finally came back much to Sesshoumaru's relief. The doctor's whole face had was pale. "Is something wrong?" Sesshoumaru asked

"Well it depends on how you take the news." The doctor told Sesshoumaru.

“What is the news, doctor?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Naraku... is pregnant. And it seems that you are the father, Mr. Tashio." The doctor said. Naraku almost fainted.

"How could I be pregnant?! I'm a guy for god sakes!" Naraku yelled.

"I don't really know, but you are." The doctor said. Sesshoumaru kept a blank stare.

Sesshoumaru looked at the doctor not believing what he was hearing. "Pregnant?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yes." The doctor told him.

"Can you give us a few minutes to talk?" Sesshoumaru said to the doctor.

The doctor nodded his head. Once the doctor left the room Naraku turned his wrath on Sesshoumaru. "What did you do to me?!” Naraku yelled.

"Look calm down yelling isn’t going to solve the problem". Sesshoumaru told him.

"Well, then what did you do to me?" Naraku asked.

"I don't know how this happened, but it did. And you are having a child, whether you like it or not." Sesshoumaru said.

Naraku sighed. He ran a hand through his raven black hair, making it trail down his back. He looked at Sesshoumaru and said, "Well, it's your child too." Naraku said.

"Yes, I know. I'm the only one you have had sex with." Sesshoumaru said.

He then called the doctor back in. "So, how do we deal with his pregnancy?" Sesshoumaru asked.
