Illusion

Chapter 1: Casting Out Oni Gumo’s Heart

A/N: Well so far nobody has been nice enough to leave a review for my latest story, and that is very sad! Please leave a review to let me know if you like this story or not! I still do not own Inuyasha so you still can’t sue because you wouldn’t get much in the first place! Enjoy!

Lightning crackled across the midnight colored sky very near the black granite palace of Naraku’s. Inside the enormous palace the halls were nearly empty of any activity for it was very late and most of the palace servants had already retired to their respective chambers. Deep in the heart of the palace in Naraku’s chambers the said demon was pacing back and forth across the smooth stone floors contemplating whether he should carry out his latest scheme.

After what seemed like an eternity of debating Naraku swiftly shrugged out of his white baboon pelt and let it fall carelessly onto the floor near his bedside to be forgotten. Peeling off his ebony outer haori and then his deep purple colored inner haori he cast them onto the floor to join his baboon pelt as well. Picking up his katana blade that lay on his bed he strode confidently over to the dark cherry wood French doors and pushed them open. Stepping out onto his black granite terrace Naraku stood directly in the middle with his back facing his chambers.

Drawing in a deep breath he raised his katana blade that he held firmly in his right hand and prepared to carry out what he had been pondering for the better part of that evening. His teeth sank into the soft flesh of his bottom lip as the sharp point of the blade bit into the muscled flesh of his back. Ignoring the searing and nearly unbearable pain that was coursing through his body he started cutting out the thing that had hindered him for the last time. With one final sweep of his blade he winced as he heard a sickening thud onto the stone floor of the terrace just behhim.him.

Turning around to investigate the source of the sound Naraku grinned maliciously when his ruby orbs fell upon his discarded heart. To his astonishment it lay there in a bloody pool still beating on the terrace floor. ‘Impossible, that weak fool’s heart still beats even though I’ve severed it from my body! No matter, I shall simply cast it over the edge of the terrace and let whatever beast that finds it devour it.’

Picking up the still beating heart Naraku threw it over the edge of the terrace and waited until he heard the faint thud of it landing on the ground below. Satisfied with what he had accomplished he turned and strode back inside his chambers. Looking over his shoulder he made sure that his healing powers had sealed the gaping hole that he had cut into his back to remove Oni Gumo’s heart. Seeing not even a trace of where the blade had touched his pale skin Naraku grinned at his success. ‘Now that I no longer possess Oni Gumo’s heart I can kill that wench Kikyo with no foolish human emotion such as love holding me back!’

Stripping out of his hakama Naraku slipped beneath the ink colored silk sheets of his bed and lay there staring at the ceiling. As he lay there visions of his hands around Kikyo’s slender neck began to form in his head. He grinned devilishly as he imagined his large hands squeezing the priestess’s neck until her lithe body finally went limp in his arms signaling her demise. Glancing down he frowned when he saw the throbbing erection was was quickly growing between his thighs. ‘Damn, every time I imagine killing Kikyo I get aroused! No matter, I shall simply call Kagura to help me relieve my excitement.’

Using the telepathic link he shared with the wind youkai Naraku sent her a command to come to his chambers at once. In her chambers across the castle Kagura lurched awake in her bed when the rich baritone sound of Naraku’s voice echoed inside her head. ‘Kagura, come to my chambers at once, I need you immediately!’ With a groan she rose from her bed dressed in a simple and very thin white sleeping Yukata that fell to the middle of her toned creamy white thighs. Her long wavy ink black tresses were down from their traditional bun and they cascaded around her shoulders and fell down to the middle of her back. Her ruby colored eyes were still glossy with sleep as she trudged down the dark empty hallway towards her lord’s chambers.

Finally reaching Naraku’s chambers she knocked softly on the door. “Come in Kagura.” His baritone voice seemed to seep through the heavy wooden door as she reached for the pewter colored handle to open it. Pushing open the door Kagura padded elegantly into the dimly lit room. Squinting she easily made out the form of her master sitting up in his large bed. He beckoned for her to join him and she padded over to him reluctantly. The smirk on his handsome face clearly told her what he had summoned her to his chamber for. “Take off the Yukata now.”

Kagura slowly began pulling the light cotton Yukata over her head to reveal her flawless milky flesh to his glowing pools of red. Naraku smiled as he watched the sleeping kimono fall to the floor when Kagura had finished taking it off. Letting his eyes travel up from her dainty feet to her beautifully toned legs he paused when he reached the nest of raven curls that was nestled at the apex of her thighs. Then shifting his gaze higher he took in the delicate muscles of her stomach as she breathed in nervously. Letting his gaze travel up to her pert breasts he felt his groin tighten slightly as her dusty pink nipples hardened from exposure to the cool air in the room. “Come Kagura, get in bed with me.”

“Yes Naraku.” Kagura pulled back the silk sheets and climbed into bed next to Naraku. She sat there with her eyes squeezed closed waiting for the very handsome but also very cruel lord to touch her. Kagura wasn’t kept waiting long when she felt Naraku’s hands come to rest on her shoulders. She was pushed down to lay flat on her back beneath him as he lay over her. Peeking through thick long black lashes Kagura watched as Naraku leaned down to take a dusty pink nipple into his warm mouth. She couldn’t keep her body from arching into his touch and causing more of her milky white breast to be forced into his mouth.

Switching his attention onto her other breast Naraku sucked the bud until it was just as hard as the other. Kagura silently cursed her body for reacting to his touch when she felt the slickness between her thighs starting to increase. Feeling his hand on one of her thighs she went rigid beneath him as his fingertips traveled down the inside of her soft warm thigh. Naraku let his fingers glide until they rested just at the very center of her desire. Feeling the heat coming off her body in waves he gently dipped one of his long thick fingers between her delicate folds. Kagura whimpered when she felt the sudden intrusion of Naraku’s finger inside her. His red eyes flicked up to meet her own ruby gaze. Now was the time to beg him to stop so she took a breath before opening her mouth to speak. “Naraku, please stop. I don’t want this.”

Naraku’s ruby pools narrowed into two slits as the words came tumbling out of her mouth in little more thawhiswhisper. “You dare ask me to stop?”

“Yes, I do.”

“Have you forgotten that you are under my control Kagura? I still hold your very life in my hand!” Suddenly a reddish glowing sphere appeared in the palm of his right and and Kagura’s eyes grew wide as she realized what it was that he now held in front of her.

“Th-that’s m-my heart! Naraku, don’t!” He grinned hatefully as he squeezed the glowing red sphere tightly making Kagura begin to gasp for air. When he was certain that he had proved his poin the released his hold on her heart. Kagura drew in a strangled sounding breath as the air was finally returned to her lungs.

“Now will you remember who your life belongs to Kagura?”

“Yes my lord, it belongs to you.”

“Good, now let us continue where we left off.” Kagura nodded as she watched her heart disappear to wherever Naraku kept it hidden from her. He once again took his place over her much smaller form and nudged her thighs apart with his knees so that he could lay in between them. Kagura bit into the soft flesh of her bottom lip when she felt Naraku rock his hips to force his thick hardened length inside her very small entrance.

Tears formed at the corners of her ruby pools until they leaked out of them to fall down the sides of her pale face disappearing into the thick mass of raven hair that was strewn across the pillow beneath her head. Naraku pounded viciously into the small woman beneath him uncaring that she was in excruciating pain. Grabbing her hips he buried himself inside her to the hilt and groaned loudly. Kagura snapped her eyes shut when she felt his cock throb inside of her. Naraku grunted out what Kagura could barely understand as her name as his release surged through his body causing his thick potent demonic seed to fill her womb to the brim.

Pulling out of the silently sobbing woman beneath him Naraku lay on his back beside her. Kagura sat up and prepared to leave his bed now that he had done with her as he had pleased. “Where do you think you’re going? I haven’t told you to leave Kagura.”

“Do you still wish me to stay my lord?”

“Of course, I’m not yet finished with you.”

“What else do you desire my lord?”

“You shall no longer have a separate chambers from me Kagura, this shall be your chambers as well.”

“But I don’t understand my lord, I’m not your mate.”

“No, not yet, but you shall become mine before the sun rises.”

“Might I ask why you haveidedided to take me as your mate my lord? Instead of taking another female demon of course.”

“Because I have total and complete control over you whereas I would never have that sort of reign over any other female demon that I might have deemed worthy as my mate.”

“And if I do not wish to become your mate?”

“You have no choice in the matter my dear. Now turn around and move your hair from the back of your neck.” Kagura sighed as she did as she was told. She was barely able to contain the small cry that tried to escape her mouth as his fangs sank into the soft flesh at the nape of her neck. “Now you are mine Kagura, and the child that will begin growing in your womb shall belong to me as well.”

“Child?”

“That’s right, my seed has been planted in your womb where it will grow until it’s time for you to give birth to my heir.” Her ruby eyes widened in horror at his words. He chuckled dryly at her pale face as she seemed to finally realize that there was no escape from him now. “You see Kagura I know that you despise me and wish to gain your freedom. That is why I chose to take you as my mate so that I can maintain my hold over you for all of eternity.” Kagura blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall as Naraku forced her to lie on her back once more as he prepared to claim her again.

Outside the palace walls below the terrace of Naraku’s chambers something that the devious lord had not planned on was happening. The place where Oni Gumo’s discarded heart had landed was now glowing with a bluish white barrier. The heart throbbed and convulsed as it began to take on a different shape. Flesh and blood were combined to form a body that had yet to take it’s first breath of life. The bluish white barrier dissipated and then the heart began to beat once more. The bare chest of the newly created body began to rise and fall gently as the first breaths were bringing oxygen to the empty lungs.

After a moment of laying there the figure stirred and a pair of deep cerulean blue eyes opened to look at the world for the first time in over fifty years. Finding the strength to get to his feet the nameless man glanced up at the ominous black granite palace before him and narrowed his eyes in anger. Turning abruptly he began running into the forest that carried him away from the black granite palace that had been shrouded in a thick mist of purple miasma. Finding a cave in a mountainside that was a far enough distance from the strange palace the man quickly ducked inside.

Laying down on the cold hard stone floor of the cave he allowed his cerulean eyes to shut and drifted into a light and very uneasy slumber. Visions of a lovely woman with long raven hair and soft chocolate eyes seemed to be the only thing that would occupy his dreams. Who was this beautiful woman dressed in simple white and red robes? Did she mean something to him? More importantly though who was he? How had he ended up outside that strange black granite palace? And why was he completely naked?

Hopefully tomorrow he could start searching for answers as to who the hell he was and where he was from. And that strange but beautiful woman, he had to find out who she was to him. With no more troublesome visions creeping into his already reeling mind he was able to get a few hours of restful sleep. It would do him no good to try and find out who he was if he was too exhausted to begin searching for those much needed answers.
