Love's Consequences

Summary: All actions have consequences, and Kagome's decision to mate Naraku is far from an exception. With her friends suspecting betrayal, suitors suffering broken hearts, and her mate's many enemies now out for her blood as well, how will Kagome handle her new position by Naraku's side? Will the soul/heart of one particular cold-hearted/blooded demon ever be thawed/breached/touched? Or will he destroy the happiness they finally found?

Sequel to In a New Light.

(Kagome X Naraku) (Sesshomaru X Rin/OC) (Sango X Miroku) (Kouga X Ayame) (Inuyasha X Kikyo/Shiori)

Warning: Spoiler alerts! Just make sure you've seen the whole series, Final Act and Movies included, for I touch upon pretty much everything at one point or another.

Warning: There will be lemons in this story later on. Also, there will be character deaths in this story at a later time.

(A/N: The first 5-ish chapters bounce between times. This is to express that with time, Naraku and Kagome's friends at least became civil with each other, but without the mass of monotonous scenes with only minor advancements. Honestly, I'm more excited for when I get Naraku into Kagome's time and so on, rather than going over how upset Kagome's friends are.

To help simplify which time everything takes place, I will use "+years," ie. five years from the end of In a New Light and the date Kagome and Naraku mated, will be written as +5yrs.)

Chapter 2: Reminisce

(A/N: I was very pleased with the reviews from the first chapter. I have much material near ready to post, all the way to chapter 8, thus far. I will continue posting one chapter per week, and at this rate, should not run out. I have even resumed writing my Kagome X Sesshomaru story, To Protect the Alpha Female, and I hope to have that one ready to post weekly within the next week or two.)

Warning: This chapter contains sexual insinuations, including some non-consensual accusations.

(A/N: +3-5yrs)

A scream echoed out over the village. Now, normally, such a sound would send the warriors of the village into high alert, but this scream was not one of distress, but of satisfaction. Naraku "caught" Kagome.

"Why can't they just keep it in the bedroom like normal people? They're going to traumatize the whole village," Sango commented on the occurrence that was far from rare.

"Do we have to talk about this?" Inuyasha grumbled, still feeling a bit nauseous.

"With as frequent as they go at it, you would think Kagome would be heavy with child by now," Miroku commented ignoring Inuyasha's, or should we say, the "playground's," discomfort. His twin daughters always gravitated to the fuzzy ears, and today was no exception as they clambered over him.

"You're right, I wonder why she isn't," Sango agreed with the peculiarity. She had certainly done her share of populating the village, and Miroku showed no sign of being done.

Inuyasha snickered, "I bet Naraku, that bastard, is sterile. Can't even pup a human."

"I just hope any kids they may have take after her, and not him," Sango hoped, not even wanting to think what trouble a mini Naraku could get into.

"Things have certainly changed over the years," Miroku reminisced out as he rocked his youngest son to sleep. Never had he foreseen himself contemplating Naraku's reproductive capabilities, beyond that of fighting incarnations. "It seems like only yesterday…"

(A/N: +0yrs)

While all of Kagome's companions fretted over her decision, Naraku's plans went on. Being from the jewel, Byakuya vanished when it was purified, but Moryomaru and Hakudoshi were still loose, Akago (the infant) was still plotting, and Kagura was doing all she could to betray him. With the haze of depression completely blown away, his mind was sharper than ever, concocting the precise plan to merge with his heart once again.

"I must put to rest some loose ends," Naraku spoke to the small woman curled in his lap.

"Loose ends?" Kagome asked sleepily.

"Moryomaru, Akago, and Hakudoshi seek to overthrow me, Kagura will still do anything to betray me, and there are numerous others who lust for my blood," he clarified objectively.

"Kouga and Sesshomaru," Kagome spoke the names, not having forgotten that their fight was not over yet.

"The wolf is of no threat, but Sesshomaru would not hesitate to slay you to get to me," this they both knew to be the truth; he had threatened so more than once.

"Do you have a plan to pacify him as well?" Kagome asked, recalling how Naraku had returned Kohaku to settle Sango's desperation, helped her stabilize Miroku's wind tunnel, and promised Kikyo's safety. Surely, he must have a plan for both Kouga and Sesshomaru as well; he always had a plan.

'Pacify, that is one way to put it,' Naraku grinned at her mild way of wording things. Never would she ask if he had a plan to kill either of them. "That I do," he affirmed, "but it will have to wait until I have dealt with my detachments. In the meantime, I want you to remain here with your comrades."

"You expect me to just sit here and wait?" she sat up straight, not happy with his request. She'd be so worried the whole time to just sit around idly.

Naraku let his eyes meet with hers before speaking, "It would be one less thing to focus on if I know you are safe."

"But-" she tried to argue.

"I already have Sesshomaru to lure away and several detachments to destroy," his continued explanation interrupted her protests, "would you have me distracted in such a situation?"

She opened her mouth to respond, before closing it and sighing in defeat. Why did he always have to win? "No. I'll stay. Just promise me you will return in one piece."

'One piece,' he chuckled to himself, 'he may never be just 'one piece.' '

He came back in relatively one piece alright, but not in the same body as before. After reabsorbing Moryomaru and Akago from the inside out, his body changed once again. He no longer sported three dragon tails or garish spiked armor; instead there were what looked like giant spider-esque fangs arched over his shoulders. Other than those and the eye on his chest, he looked mostly human, but his aura was far more on the demonic side now from the added power he just attained.

The only incarnations Naraku spared were the first two: Kanna, who had proven unwavering loyalty, and Kagura, who he still had one last use for.

(A/N: +3-5yrs)

"Hey, Spider!" Inuyasha hollered, drawing Naraku's attention. With their truce to not exchange blows, it seemed harsh words were Inuyasha's only weapon, and he still seemed to seek out "battles" as frequently as before; intellectually charged, verbal battles that nearly always resulted in a loss for the hopelessly outmatched dog. It was yet another form of entertainment for the dark demon. "Miroku and I were talking, and we find it pathetic how someone who could make incarnations, would also be impotent. What other explanation is there to Kagome not being pupped yet?"

Naraku just blinked, unfazed on the outside, but laughing on the inside, "How pathetic that after being around her so frequently and even in her time you have yet to comprehend her origins."

"She's from the future," Inuyasha crossed his arms, "what more is there?"

"She is from a time where women do not become pregnant until at least 20 years of age," at Inuyasha's confused expression he elaborated. "She is taking herbs to postpone conception."

"So she doesn't want to have your child huh? And you called me pathetic," Inuyasha jabbed, thinking that he'd won this time.

"You are. I said postpone, not prevent," he turned to continue on his way, tossing the clincher over his shoulder, "She has already started picking out names."

Something felt different; the bitter sorrow emanating from her reincarnation had been replaced by… a lightness, that Kikyo herself had only experienced once, fifty years ago. What could have happened to change her soul so rapidly? Had Naraku done something? She had every intention of finding out when she detected the very dark aura of the demon in question. The peculiar part is he did not have the Shikon Jewel, if fact, it felt like the majority of the jewel had been completely purified. There was something going on, and she was going to find out what.

The arrow appeared out of nowhere and immediately halted Naraku's path as it imbedded into the trunk of a tree only inches from his face. The master marksman that Kikyo was, this was clearly a warning. Had she wanted to, it would have struck true. "Naraku," she addressed harshly as she threaded a new arrow, "what has happened to the Shikon no Tama?"

"Why Kikyo," he tossed back, not missing the small wince she made in response to the festering wound he inflicted so long ago, "what brings you here?" Kagome had purified much of his miasma in Kikyo's body, but it was far too persistent and, like him, evasive; she had missed some. "It appears you are in pain," he grinned sadistically, enjoying her discomfort. Thoughts of how to kill her without Kagome finding out filtered through his mind as he stalled. No matter how he spun it though, there was still that link they seemed to have between their souls; unfortunately, it was not worth the risk to take her life.

"Answer me," she ordered, tightening the string. He chuckled at the desperation in her voice; this was taking a lot out of her already strained, artificial body. All he had to do was wait for an opening. With her arrow drawn, he could not approach safely, but in the pause between firing one arrow and drawing another, there was vulnerability. Being a demon, all he had to do was avoid the shot and get behind her, cutting off access to her quiver. Smirking wider, he tested her patience to the point that she let fly an arrow. The muscles in his body coiled and released, propelling him out of its path with seeming ease. He took a firm grip on her wrists, knocking her weapon away and twisting her limbs behind her back before she could even blink. She struggled in his grasp, kicking and squirming, trying to summon forth her powers through the sudden fear that struck her. He pressed her against a nearby tree, using his body against hers to limit her struggles. "Let go of me; get your filthy body off me!"

She continued to try and fight as his aura rose, engulfing them in a cloud of power that caused the sensation of suffocation, even though she didn't need actual air to survive. It was an insane pressure, like sinking into the dark depths of a bottomless lake. "Still yourself," he ordered lowly, positioning his body tightly against her so she could not escape his grasp. "You may just enjoy this." He slipped his free hand into the folds of her robes, reveling in the fear and disgust he caused her. She would not soon forget this act.

(A/N: Before anyone gets on my case, I have one thing to say about this scene: TRUST ME, I have a plan.)

(A/N: +3-5yrs)

An old dog seldom learns new tricks, especially when said dog is as stubborn as Inuyasha. Even years of traveling with Kagome had not been enough to correct his horrid manners; he was still just as crass and blunt as always.

"I still think its stupid to not have Naraku subjugated like you had me," Inuyasha raved to Kagome. "But then again, if you were smart enough to think of that on your own, you would also be smart enough to not even be with him."

His rosary had been removed some years ago, since Kagome deemed it no longer her place to command him, but even so, she still found entertainment in a certain word.

Exasperated with his behavior, for he'd been on this rant for way too long by now, she inevitably exploded, "Inuyasha, why do you always have to be such a jerk? Sit boy!" As he still did, his fur stood on end and he visibly flinched, only to be shaky from the instantaneous adrenaline high her word still triggered. It shut him up nicely for a few seconds, 'Still works.'

"Ha, Haha, nice try, but you removed it long ago, Stupid," Kagome's small success was only met with more aggravation.

"Beloved," Kikyo's word, on the other hand, still packed immense power, not because it sent him sprawling, but because of the tone she attached to it. She could render him immobile anytime she pleased.

(A/N: +0yrs)

Entering the village, Kikyo found it much as it had always been, except for the altered aura of one individual. Kikyo could easily sense the slight bit of demonic aura entwined with Kagome's usually pure thrum. 'So he really has taken her as his mate,' she acknowledged. Before she was able to advance any further, Inuyasha came barreling through the village, bounding over roofs, and acting frantic as if something was about to slay her. He always was in such a frenzied state whenever she'd come around; it was almost flattering. He hesitated for only a second before engulfing her in a hug.

"It has not been that long, Inuyasha," she hugged him back. No sooner than she had, did he pull back abruptly.

"Why is his scent on you?" he suppressed a snarl. It was then that he noticed a split in her priestess attire, the kind of tear that would result from trying to force the clothing from its position. "What did Naraku do to you, Kikyo?"

"It is nothing, Inuyasha," she tried to reassure him.

"Nothing?! You are covered in his disgusting scent!" Inuyasha raised his voice, not necessarily at her, but at the thoughts going through his mind. "Did. He. Hurt. You. Kikyo?"

She just laughed, she actually laughed at his concern, "You overreact, Inuyasha. As you can see, I am fine."

A growl bubbled up in his throat and he turned and ran towards the cause. He was sure Naraku had done something, and this would be the proof he needed to get Kagome away from him. Naraku would pay.

Inuyasha made quick work of the distance, finding the treacherous demon walking the marketplace with Kagome as she selected the best apples off a vender's cart.

"What did you do to Kikyo?" he demanded without interpose.

After a brief pause, Naraku realized what this must be about, "I see the dead have yet to discover the merits of a bath."

"What is he talking about?" Kagome asked, looking between the two.

"That bastard's scent was covering her, and her robes were torn," the insinuation was clear. "Was that your doing?"

"Yes, it was," a sinister smirk spread across his lips. "Had she held still, her clothing would not have been damaged."

"You bastard, you admit to it," Inuyasha's hand flew to his sword.

"Tell me, Inuyasha, what precisely are you accusing me of?" Naraku selected an apple from the cart, turning it in his hand to inspect the quality.

"You know what you did?" he said lowly, gripping the hilt of Tessaiga with white knuckles.

"Yes, I do, but for argument's sake," he continued inspecting the produce, conveying how he wasn't the slightest bit worried about Inuyasha's suspicions, "spell it out. What specifically do you believe I did to your beloved Kikyo?"

"You forced yourself on her; you raped her!" Inuyasha shouted, drawing even more of a crowd of curious onlookers.

"Incorrect, I can assure you," Naraku brushed off the hostility with little effort. It's not like Inuyasha had ever displayed anything else towards him. "Truthfully, Inuyasha, I cannot fathom how you can stomach laying with her. Does not the scent of death dampen your desires?"

"You don't believe him, do you Kagome?" Inuyasha altered his target. "His scent didn't get on her from just talking. Do you really want to be with a monster like him?"

Now this got to him. Throwing harsh words was nothing to him, but aiming them at Kagome, trying to persuade her to turn on him, he would not permit, "Inuyasha," Naraku began darkly as he placed the ripe fruit gently back on the cart, "if you do not watch your tongue, I will find great pleasure in cutting it out."

"I'd like to see you try it," Inuyasha met the challenge head on, but just before the two could come to blows, Kagome dashed between them, holding out a hand in each direction. She was not about to let them revert to fighting again, at least, not over some ubiquitous disagreement.

Watching their heated exchange, Kagome badly wanted to trust Naraku, she really did, but the evidence was troubling. Timidly, with shaky breathes, she asked the question, "Naraku, what happened between you and Kikyo?"

He grinned, for whereas he had no reason to answer Inuyasha when he asked the same question, he would heed his mate's request without argument. "You wish to know?" he asked her, more irritated at Inuyasha trying to take Kagome's loyalty from him than at her uncertainty. "Then I shall tell you."

Flashback

Standing in the middle of the forest at arrow point, Naraku really couldn't see the attraction Inuyasha had for Kikyo; she was nothing compared to the warmth, in body and heart, of his new mate, Kagome. He could easily just leave her as she was, being eaten away by his miasma, to succumb to an eventual death, but that would ultimately result in her death being caused by him, something he told Kagome he would no longer seek. For Kagome, to keep her with him, he could do this. Going about it however, would be a tricky affair; one wrong move and he would end up purified.

Even with his demonic speed, the spiritually powered arrow only narrowly missed, and when she brought forth her powers in response to being pinned, he was forced to meet the sting of her aura with his own. Forcing her into submission, he could now reach the wound, and draw out the remaining miasma. Of course, he couldn't resist taunting her during this process, it was far too entertaining not to.

A black, sticky ooze was drawn out, coiling in his palm. When he had all of it withdrawn, he tossed the secretion, flicking it from his hand and watching dispassionately as it dissolved the lush bush it landed on, sizzling through the once vibrant foliage. Releasing her, she fell to the ground under the weight of his aura, and only rose once it was retracted.

Her hand moved to her chest where the infected wound had now healed, only briefly noticing the ripped fabric, and called out her threat as he moved to walk away, "Don't think this means I will stop seeking your life."

"I saved you on my mate's request," he began his explanation, informing her of the treaty.

'His mate, since when has he been-? Kagome?' she had felt something different; this must be it.

"And should you draw that bow on me again, you will be placing Inuyasha's life at risk, for our truce would hence be void," he knew her decision before she even made it, purely from the fear in her eyes. She hesitantly lowered her hand that had been reaching for an arrow. "Wise decision, Kikyo."

'Did Inuyasha really make a deal with Naraku? I must see for myself,' after a deliberate pause, she turned and headed off in the same direction, towards her old village, and the glow of a now pure Shikon jewel.

"Is this true, Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked her as she caught up to them.

"I told you it was nothing, Inuyasha," she spoke to affirm that this was the truth. "Now, what I want to know is the nature of this supposed truce. I can see that the Shikon is now in Kagome's possession, and she also carries your mark, Naraku."

"It is quite simple, Kikyo. I will not cause you or your dog harm, so long as the same courtesy is extended towards my mate and myself. Should you break these agreements, it is not only your life that will be extinguished," he glanced towards Inuyasha, who was still snarling with a fury he could not unleash without putting Kikyo in danger. Naraku was not above killing her just to get to him. Their hands were effectively tied.

(A/N: See, you can trust me; I'm not going to go destroying my own "baby.")
