Note: I bring you GUEST FIC! FFnet's fabulous Kirayasha aka Kira asked if she could "borrow" Naraku from this fic collection and reincarnate and torment him a little herself. I cheered her on and, with her blessing, am including her little ficlet here. She has crossposted it at LJ comm Fanfic Bakeoff. Thanks, Kira for the fabulous incarnation!
The Nail Girl
by Kira
Naraku smiled as the woman pressed a few dollars in his hand, before she left. As he got up to prepare for the next customer in the busy nail salon, he caught sight of his reflection in the mirrored wall. A pretty Korean girl gazed back at him this time. As far as incarnations go, this one was strangely not too bad. Maybe this time I won't be a loser…
"Foolish girl!" his boss yelled in Korean. "Get to work!"
"Yes, ma'am," he said softly. Then again, two thousand eleven is turning out to be just as bad as nineteen eleven…I guess a sweatshop is a sweatshop despite tips and air-conditioning…
It was just another boring day, when shewalked in for her two o'clock pedicure. And as luck would have it, she was his next customer! Naraku was beside himself with inner joy at the thought of playing with her dainty feet.
The Lady of West came over at sat down at Naraku's station, no hint of recognition in her sparkling amber eyes. Slipping her Gucci sandals off, she put her feet up and Naraku set to work with trembling hands. First he removed the bright red nail polish, before setting her feet to soak in a tub of warm soapy water, while he went to get the bottle of her favorite polish, Scarlet Temptress.
Upon his return, he dried her feet off. While he massaged the Lady's tired foot, he was overcome with a sudden urge to suck her toes, and before he knew it, he was actually sucking her dainty digits! That's when all hell broke lose and the next thing he knew he was being arrested for assault. Smiling at his reflection as he was led away in handcuffs, Naraku was extremely happy for a change…
