Summary: Naraku decides to divide and concur his enemies in a new way. Casting a love spell on Kagome that goes amazingly awry and leaves her with more suitors than she has time to understand. Will be Crossover with other things.
Notes: Okay I have never really done a story out of the pure idea of making it more comical than serious. Thus it is difficult to approach the concept but this idea has been going through my mind lately. Perhaps it's a result of the Endocet after my tooth was pulled last Thurs but I figured this is as good a concept as any to go with. I think it's a result of just how many people crossover Kagome and how I often have folks interact through my own ideas. I suppose I'll still attempt to make it as serious as I can without ruining a lighter mood. Some people may be a bit ooc but that happens in comical stuff from time to time. (Yes, I'm a nutter)
Disclaimer: Yeah, I probably don't own anyone going into this fiction. It's going to be crossover into all sorts of crazy things. Whatever I feel like really.
Story: Kagome's Well of Many Men
Prelude: A Change of Events
Love is a sickness full of woes,
All remedies refusing:
A plant that with most cutting grows,
Most barren with best using.
Samuel Daniel - Hymen's Triumph
"""Why would you want to come see me? Aren't you more concerned with trying to become the most powerful of the beasts roaming the lands? What interest would I have in you Naraku, the only reason I haven't struck you down is because some small piece of you remains the humans you despise." The woman was lounging on a long stuffed couch while one of her servants, a barely dressed monk, fanned her with what seemed like a peacock tail. She was quite stunning and were most of him still mortal he might lust for her more than just a little.
"I come for a favor great one." He could act humble when the need arose. When it came to dealing with the powers greater than demons, it seemed best not to press his luck. Where there were demons, it was only logical there would be gods. He had indeed found one that ruled over the affairs of love, one he despised but needed.
"What makes you think I would want to do anything for a creature as vile as yourself?" She scoffed lightly, waving a hand at him. "You are dismissed, best to leave before I lose interest in you."
He opened a gloved hand to revel what was in the palm. There was a small shimmer where he held a branch of small berries that were a pure silver in color. He smiled lightly, knowing that while the gods were denied little, there were some mortal delicacies that even they would rarely refuse.
"Then I suppose this wouldn't be fair compensation. It took a great deal of time to acquire, it is a pity that the berries will dry and shrivel soon. Rather beautiful the fruit of the faeries." He commented, closing his hand again before pausing when he realized she had appeared next to him.
Gods were indeed as fast, and likely as deadly, as he'd heard. Though it was hard to tell if hadn't seen a couple of demons just as quick.
"I will consider your request. For those." She nodded toward the berries in a general way but had a glean in her eye that told volumes as to her desire for them. "What is it you want of the goddess of love."
"A spell." He replied with a sly smile, folding just a couple of fingers over the tiny branch so it would still be visible to her. It had come at no small cost to acquire, catching faeries was work even he had trouble with.
"What do you want with a love spell?" She eyed him skeptically. "I cannot make the dead love. Kikyo's heart is beyond the grasp of my realm."
"It is not Kikyo I desire the spell for. But her reincarnation that travel's with Inuyasha. I want her to forget the man that constantly scorns her for Kikyo and I want eligible men to fawn on her once she returns to her home away from the half demon." Naraku said simply. He didn't want to offer the girl anything but if it would take her away from Inuyasha where he could finally rid himself of the biggest thorn in his side...well it would be killing two birds with one stone.
"That seems rather generous considering your own record Naraku." She still glanced between him and the fruit laying in his half open palm with beautiful eyes. If he'd been at all humble or guilty then likely he would have fallen over in tears at the sight of such a creature, but his heart...there was almost none of it that remained, and none of it that could cloud his judgments any longer. Though the god didn't seem to realize his deception.
"I have seen him dishonor one woman, it seems only fair to remove the second from my path before I kill him as well. If she never comes looking for him. Then it only adds to my need not to bother with her." Naraku explained with a small smirk. He enjoyed his capacity to twist the people around him to his needs through whatever means needed.
"I hesitantly agree to keep your wish...but understand that such spells are often fickle things and once I have finished with it...fate will often do what it pleases. This will likely offer her just as much heartache as her current affair." The Goddess commented, holding out a hand.
Naraku made sure to hand her the berries before he replied. "Even better then. Cast the spell great one."
It was just one mortal girl...not that much trouble could come from it. Even if she'd been mistaken for her mistress when she was just one of her attendants the foolish demon didn't know at all that he'd gotten the wrong woman. And a spell to make men chase a mortal girl? That isn't a difficult thing at all, she'd cast similar spells before with her mistress's help. The chance to eat from faerie food was too much for the god-in-training to pass up.
"What is the girl's name?" She tucked the food away to enjoy it later, it wouldn't taste as grand in such sour company. "I cannot cast my spell without knowing who she is."
"Kagome Higurashi, reincarnation of the Priestess Kikyo." Naraku said smoothly, watching the goddess pocket the berries away, it was all smoother than he'd even imagined. He figured she'd put up more of a fight but gods were no better than demons after all.
"Kagome Higurashi, the lady priestess and reincarnation of the Priestess Kikyo. Let me touch your soul and spin the threads of your fate." The woman spoke calmly the words of power that let her reach out and change the world around that which she had dominion over. "Where once your heart was bleeding dry, say to your memory a sweet goodbye. Of all the worlds and all the love, release yourself that you've dreamed of. With this spell your heart's rebirth, calling to all that are of worth. Within these words, within this rhyme. Now is bound and all through time."
As she played with the strings she found it became more difficult the further she went, until she was watching them curl in front of her without her plucking them at all. The weave in fact grew bright enough that she could only glance away and narrow her eyes and once the window to her spellcasting closed she only smiled lightly at Naraku.
"Now get out of my temple before I change my mind about letting you leave." She offered with a nonchalant wave of her hand. Unaware of the continuing unravel and re raveling of the tapestry behind her and more concerned with the treat laying in wait in her pocket.
End Prelude
So yeah, more to come later hopefully. I'm at a roadblock with a lot of other fictions so maybe this will get my creative juices flowing a bit more. Feedback is, as always, greatly appreciated!
