Toxic Love

Naraku sat in his and Sesshoumaru’s bedroom, “Hey old man since I’m knocked up by you, don’t you think you should be seeing to my needs?” Naraku asked as Sesshoumaru came out the bathroom with a towel around his waist.

“What needs would that be?” Sesshoumaru asked as he walked over to his closet to find a clean pair of boxers.

“Food and tummy rubs.” Naraku told him.

“I just fed you not too long ago, I have to go into work today so I can finish some things before the trip.” he told him.

Naraku pouted. Sesshoumaru sighed and kissed him on the forehead. He then put on a pair of pants and a button-up shirt with a tie. "I'll be back later." Sesshoumaru said.

"Ok. I love you." Naraku said. "I love you, too." Sesshoumaru replied, blushing a little. He then walked out of the house and got into his car, driving to work.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naraku sat in the bed, maybe I'll call brother; see how he’s doing. " he said. He reached over and picked up the phone him and Sesshoumaru had yet to tell anyone they were having a baby of their own.

He dialed Bankotsu's number.

"Hello?" Bankotsu said.

"Hey Bankotsu how's everything?" Naraku asked.

"We're tired. Milou cries, then we have to feed and change her,” he said.

"Well how about you let the old man and I watch her for a few days?" he asked him.

"Are you serious, you’re sure he’ll be okay with this?" Bankotsu asked him.

"Yes, bring her over later today, I have to go, see you then." he said and hung up.

Bankotsu hung up the phone and turned to Kikyo. "My brother and father said they would take her for a few days." Bankotsu said. Kikyo nodded and said,

"Good, I need a break." She looked at their daughter. "You’re going to go see grandpa and Uncle Naraku for a few days, won't that be fun?" She said to the young girl.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naraku walked down the stairs and yawned as he looked for something to eat. He saw Jaken. "Jaken, how long do you think, my dad will be at work?" he asked.

"For a few hours, why do you need something?" he asked him.

"Well, not really, but what's his favorite food, I did something and I'm afraid when he comes back all hell is going to break loose." Naraku told him.

"Oh dear what did you do?" Jaken asked.

"I well I told my brother that we would watch Milou for the next few days.”

"You did what?!" Jaken yelled, “this is worse than when you and Inuyasha broke his vase!" he yelled at Naraku

"I know that! So what is his favorite food?" Naraku asked again.

"Pot roast with all sorts of vegetables..." Jaken said.

Naraku nodded and got everything out. "Jaken, go get me some meat for this, will ya?" Naraku said, chopping vegetables.

"Alright. I'll be back in a while." Jaken mumbled, walking out the door. Naraku hummed to himself as he chopped carrots, potatoes, celery, and other vegetables.

Sesshoumaru sat at his desk, looking over some papers. "Hmm I wonder what's he's doing right now; probably stuffing his face, I must remember not to call him fat." he said as he got up from his desk.

"Hey Sess." Koga said as he walked in his office.

"Koga what are you up to this time?" Sesshoumaru asked him.

"Nothing I heard your a grandpa, hehe aren’t you suppose to be old when your kids start having kids?" he joked.

Sesshoumaru sighed. "I am old compared to them, Koga." Sesshoumaru said.

Koga laughed and said, "Don't worry. From what I hear, being a grandpa isn't that bad." He then sat down in a chair in front of Sesshoumaru's desk.

"Koga, aren't you supposed to be working instead of sitting there and chatting." Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yes, but I'm taking a small break." Koga replied, smirking.

"Yeah, if you say so..." Sesshoumaru said to him.

"So when are you going on vacation?" Koga asked him as he made himself comfortable.

"Next Friday, I spent the weekend taking Naraku to the doctors, and then going to the hospital for the birth of my granddaughter." he said.

"I see, what about Gatenmaru?" Koga asked

“I haven't seen or heard from him in a while and I don't want to. I'm sorry, I ever met him."

“I can see why." Koga said. Sesshoumaru shuddered slightly just talking about him. "What about Ryura?" Koga asked.

"Haven't heard from him, either. That's a plus." Sesshoumaru said, smirking. Koga nodded.

"Well, I'm gonna get back to work. I'll see you later." Koga said, walking out of the office.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jaken came back with meat for Naraku, "Here you go; I think I’ll leave now." Jaken said to him. Naraku grabbed Jaken by the back of his collar. "No you don’t, you have to help me." Naraku told him.

Naraku finally put the food in the oven, when the bell rang. "Well we know it’s not him." Naraku said to Jaken.

Jaken went to the door and opened it. “Hey Jaken," Bankotsu said as he walked in, holding Milou in his arms, and her bag on his shoulder.

“Hello, Bankotsu." Jaken said, stepping aside so he could walk in. "Naraku, we’re here!" Bankotsu called.

Naraku walked out of the kitchen and up to his brother, giving him a hug. "Hey, how's it going?" Naraku asked.

"Pretty good, but I'm so tired. When I get home, the first thing I'm going to do is take a nap." Bankotsu said. Naraku looked down at Milou, still in Bankotsu's arms.

"Hey Milou! How are you?" Naraku said, tickling her stomach. She giggled, waving her arms and legs about.

"I can see her resemblance to you, Bank." Naraku said. "Yeah, I can, too." Bankotsu said.

"Well, I'll take her so you can go home and get some rest." Naraku said

Jaken sighed, knowing his master, there was going to be lots of yelling, and somehow he was going to be the one yelled at more.

"Take care Jaken." Bankotsu said to him.

Jaken nodded his head. "You stay in here with her, I'll finish cooking.” Jaken said and walked off into the kitchen

After a few hours, Naraku was sitting on the sofa watching TV, a sleeping Milou in his arms. The front door opened to reveal Sesshoumaru. "I'm home!" He called.

"Shhh. She's asleep." Naraku whispered, nervously glancing at Milou to make sure she didn't wake up.

Sesshoumaru walked over to see his granddaughter. "What is she doing here?" Sesshoumaru whispered, glaring at Naraku.

"I called Bank today, and he said that they needed a vacation, so I told him we would take Milou for a few days." Naraku said, smiling.

"You did what?" Sesshoumaru closed his eyes; he couldn’t really do anything to Naraku. "Naraku where is she supposed to sleep and who is going to feed her in the middle of the night; not to mention change her?" Sesshoumaru asked him.

"Us, you and I, we'll take turns. Besides it’s practice." Naraku told him, turning his face away from the glare.

Sesshoumaru sighed and sat down next to Naraku, putting his arm around his shoulders. Naraku laid his head on Sesshoumaru's shoulder as he still held Milou. "So, where is she sleeping?" Sesshoumaru asked, looking down at the infant.

"She'll sleep in our room, in the crib Bank brought over." Naraku said. Sesshoumaru nodded and kissed Naraku on the top of his head, saying, "What's for dinner?"

"Your favorite. Pot roast with veggies." Naraku said, smiling.

"Suck up." Sesshoumaru mumbled, smirking.

Jaken came out the kitchen and froze in his tracks. "You’re home, master, dinner is ready, I'll just go back to the kitchen and get it ready." he said

Sesshoumaru looked at him. "Do that Jaken. Later, you and I are going to have a talk." Sesshoumaru told him.

Jaken nodded his head and walked quickly back into the kitchen.

Milou woke up. She stretched some and began looking around. She looked into a pair of golden eyes, and smiled; before starting to cry.

Sesshoumaru covered his sensitive ears and said, "What are we supposed to do?"

Naraku chuckled and said, "She is either hungry or needs to be changed. You check her diaper, and I'll get her milk bottle." Naraku said. He then handed Milou to Sesshoumaru and walked into the kitchen.

Sesshoumaru groaned as he laid Milou down on the couch. 'This sucks...' He thought as he reluctantly took off her diaper. Thankfully, it was clean. He sighed in relief and re-fastened the diaper.

Naraku came back with a bottle. "You want to feed her?" Naraku asked him. "No you do that; you're going to be a mother after all.” He said with a smirk as he handed Naraku Milou.

"You're not getting out of this when ours is born.” Naraku growled. Once again Sesshoumaru backed up some, Naraku was growling at him.

"Mood swings?" Sesshoumaru asked as he hoped that Jaken would hurry up and announce dinner was ready.

Naraku ignored him as he fed Milou. "Dinner is ready." Jaken said to them.

"I'll eat when I'm finished feeding Milou. You guys go ahead and start." Naraku said. Sesshoumaru looked to Jaken and said, "I'll eat with him. We'll be there in a few minutes."

Jaken nodded and walked back into the kitchen. Sesshoumaru sighed as he sat back down on the couch next to Naraku

Sesshoumaru could sense anger in the air and it was directed at him. "You know I was thinking about turning your old room into the nursery, would you like that?" Sesshoumaru asked him.

Naraku just growled.

"Are you going to growl at me the whole 7 months?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Probably…" Naraku said. After Milou burped, he walked over to the playpen that was set up and placed her in it. He then walked into the kitchen, Sesshoumaru following, and sat down at the table, where Jaken gave him his plate of food.

"Thanks, Jaken." Naraku said. Jaken nodded his head and handed Sesshoumaru his plate as well. Sesshoumaru nodded his head in thanks and they started eating.

Sesshoumaru growled, "So what about what I asked?" Sesshoumaru asked him.

"My room?" Naraku asked.

"Yes I mean the first few weeks the baby will sleep in our room, of course; but I mean after that." he said as he cut his meat.

Jaken cleared his throat. "Master if I may, since Naraku is with child, yes I already knew, why not use the old bedroom across the hall from yours, that way it won't be such a long walk." Jaken suggested.

That's a great idea, Jaken." Naraku said. Sesshoumaru nodded his head in approval. Naraku said, "I'm going to go shopping for baby supplies tomorrow." "Why? The baby isn't due for seven months." Sesshoumaru said. "Because, then it will be done and over with, not that I won't enjoy it, of course." Naraku said, smiling as he ate. Sesshoumaru sighed and said, "Just don't be too long." "I won't." Naraku replied

"Wait a minute, who’s watching the baby?" Sesshoumaru asked him.

"You, take her into work. You used to take me in." Naraku said to him. Sesshoumaru dropped his fork, “You want me to take a baby that's two days old to work with me?" he asked.

"Yeah… I’ve seen plenty of employees with their babies at your company." he said.

“Are you crazy?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"No. I just want her grandfather to spend time with her. Besides, it will be fine, it's not like anybody will care. But you have to change her diaper and feed her." Naraku said. Sesshoumaru sighed as he started to eat again. "Remember, Sess, this is practice as well as baby-sitting." Naraku said.

"I know, I know." Sesshoumaru said.

After dinner was over, Sesshoumaru walked back in the room and looked at Milou. "How did I get roped into this?” he said, looking down at her.

Naraku came out from the kitchen with a piece of cake. "Don’t you think that's too much food to eat after dinner?" he asked as he picked Milou up.

“You know when you get fat; don't start complaing to me about your clothes not fitting." Sesshoumaru told him. before Naraku could growl, Sesshoumaru placed his hand over Naraku's mouth, “Look my moody love, you're going to have to understand, you can't always growl at me." he said in Naraku's ear. Naraku, growled more and bit Sesshoumru's hand.

Sesshoumaru drew his hand back and growled, "You better calm down, love, or the baby will hear you all the way upstairs and start to cry." Naraku growled at Sesshoumaru again and walked up the stairs saying, "I'm going to bed. I have to wake up early so I can have all day to shop.

“Don't forget Milou in the morning when you go to work." Sesshoumaru didn't reply and Naraku sighed, walking into their room and saying down on the bed, not waking Milou.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jaken!" Sesshoumaru yelled.

"Y..yes master,?”

“Why didn’t you call me?" he hissed out.

"I wanted to but, but, I'm sorry sir." he cried falling to his knees “please for give me, I'll never do anything again like this." he cried at Sesshoumaru's feet.

Sesshoumaru sighed. "Get up, just prepares enough bottles for tomorrow." he told him.

Jaken nodded and quickly did what Sesshoumaru asked.

A while later, Sesshoumaru sighed and said, "Jaken, I'm going to bed."

"Yes sir. Goodnight, sir." Jaken said

"Goodnight. And you may retire for the night." Sesshoumaru said as he walked up the stairs. "Thank you, sir." Jaken said.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sesshoumaru sighed as he silently walked into his and Naraku's room, to see Naraku sleeping soundly, along with Milou. Sesshoumaru crept over to his side of the bed and lay down. He closed his eyes and was soon in a deep sleep.

About 3 in the morning, Sesshoumaru was awoken by a loud cry. "God no!” he yelled as he put the pillow over his face, he pressed Naraku on his back. "The baby is awake." he said trying to wake Naraku.

Naraku slowly opened his eyes. "So change her." Naraku said to him.

"I don't think so." Sesshoumaru said. Naraku glared at him.

"Change her. You’re going to be doing it with our child, anyway. It's practice for the future." Naraku growled. He then turned onto his side, his back to Sesshoumaru, and fell asleep.

Sesshoumaru growled at his lover and got out of bed. He walked over to Milou and picked her up. He then laid her down on the bed and, reluctantly, and unfastened her diaper. As he held his breath, he changed the crying baby and after finally soothing her and getting her to go back to sleep, he lay back down and fell asleep.

Soon as Sesshoumaru had gotten some sleep the alarm went off. He got out the bed and looked at Naraku, just sleeping away, Milou as well.

Sesshoumaru walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on, the hot water woke him up. After his shower and brushing his teeth he came out the room and walked over to Naraku. "Can you please dress her?" Sesshoumaru asked backing up to a safe distance.

Naraku opened his eyes. "Morning” he said, smiling up at Sesshoumaru.

"Morning, if you don't mind can you dress her while I finish getting dressed?" Sesshoumaru asked again.

"Sure." Naraku said sleepily, getting out of bed. He walked over and picked Milou up. He then walked over to her bag and picked out a pair of pull up jeans and a t-shirt. He then took her pajamas off and put the shirt on. He then put her pants on. He grabbed a pair of socks from her bag and her shoes. He struggled with them, because Milou kept on moving her feet, giggling.

Sesshoumaru finished getting dressed, he turn to see Naraku now holding a dressed baby. He smiled, "I'll take her." Sesshoumaru told him taking her from Naraku, “the card is on the bed, do I have enough diaper?" Sesshoumaru asked him.

"Yeah” he said, handing him the bag.

"Remember don’t be out too long." Sesshoumaru said. He kissed Naraku on the lips and walked out their bedroom.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naraku smiled as he watched Sesshoumaru walk out of the house and to his car. He stood there until Sesshoumaru's car was out of sight. He then went and took a shower. He got dressed and grabbed the card. He then walked downstairs and grabbed his keys, saying, "I'm going out, Jaken! Take care of the house while I'm gone!"

"Yes, sir!" Jaken said, walking out of the kitchen. Naraku walked out of the house and to his car. He got in and drove off to the baby store.

Naraku parked the car, "Told him I knew how." he said, getting out the car and walking into the store, “What to get?" he said as he looked around

"I need a crib, a stroller..." he said as he saw a sales lady.

"Can I help you sir?" she asked him.

"I need a stroller and, I know a crib." he told her.

"Oh well right this way. Any particular color,” she asked him. "Well we don't know what we're having yet." Naraku told her

“How about a light blue?" she asked him, “Or we can make it a color that, you feel comfortable with." she added.

"Yes, I think red would be perfect." Naraku replied.

"Alright, right this way." The lady said.

Naraku followed her down an isle and she browsed through the cribs, until she said, "Ah-ha! Here we are." She then pulled down a box with a red crib on the front. She handed it to Naraku, saying, "Here you go! Now, let's find you a stroller..." She then led him down another isle and handed him a red stroller box. "Will that be all?" She asked. "I'll just look around now. Thank you." Naraku said. The woman nodded and went to help another customer.

Sesshoumaru, in the meantime, sat Milou in her car chair, while he did some work. "Such a beautiful girl; too bad Kikyo’s her mom." he said as he answered some calls, Milou was busy pulling her socks off her little feet. Miroku and Koga walked in his office, slamming the door. Milou began to cry, and Sesshoumaru growled at the fools.

“You idiots, you scared her!" Sesshoumaru said, picking Milou up and trying to comfort the crying infant. "Shhh, Milou, it's ok. It's alright, grandpa's here." He said.

Koga snickered, trying to cover his laugh, but failing miserably.

Miroku smirked, staring at Sesshoumaru. Milou finally calmed down and Sesshoumaru placed her in her chair again. Milou grabbed her feet and started twiddling her toes.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naraku got back home fours hours later with workers following behind him. Jaken's eye went wide. "How much did you spend?!" Jaken asked him.

"I don’t know. Do you think he’ll be mad?" Naraku asked.

"At you no, me you’ve just shortened my life.” He told Naraku.

Naraku shrugged. "Oh well." he said and showed the men where to put the furniture.

(lol. Sucks for Jaken)
