It's been a week since Naraku sent me and Kohaku, whom he appointed as my Personnel Guard, out to collect jewel shards during that time. We managed to get our hands on 3 of them and have finally made our way back to the castle.

"We're back..." Kohaku sighs, and I nod.

"Welcome back, you two." A voice welcomes, causing us to look over to see Naraku walking towards us.

"I shall excuse myself," Kohaku states as he begins walking away, but I stare at Naraku, and he looks back over at me for a moment. "Now that I get a good look at him, he's extremely handsome compared to the demons I was fighting during these weeks." I think, but then shake my head and clear my throat.

"Sorry, here you are," I declare as I place the Jewel Shards into the palm of his hand, creating a thick silence for a moment.

"Good work," Naraku's compliment caused me to look up at him with a surprised expression. "Did he just compliment me?" I wonder as I then smile.

"Thank you," I thank him, and he quickly turns away from me.

"Walk with me?" Naraku requests, causing my eyes to widen, but I then rush over to his side with a nod.

(Naraku's POV)

"How was the journey?" I ask, finally breaking the silence, causing (Y/N) to turn to me.

"It was pretty fun, but at times it was scary thanks to the ugly-looking demons we had to fight to get the jewel shards," (Y/N) answers as we continued walking. "I already knew how her journey went... I couldn't get this mortal out of my head, so I had a Saimyōshō tailing them." I think as I grit my teeth.

"These flowers are beautiful!" (Y/N) chirps, causing me to be pulled from my thoughts to see we were in my secret garden and she was smiling at my purple flowers.

"They are, aren't they?" I question as I stared at them.

( (Y/N)'s POV)

"This is the first time I've seen such an expression on his face; it's almost peaceful." I think Naraku was staring at the flowers.

"Is there a special purpose for these flowers?" I ask, causing Naraku to straighten up and clear his throat.

"No, I just seem to tolerate them," Naraku explains with a slight coldness to his voice, while he bends down to the ground. "He's obviously hiding his true feelings..." I think as I let out a slight chuckle. Suddenly, I feel something placed on my ear, causing me to be pulled out of my thoughts to see Naraku in front of me with a softer expression than his normal one.

"It suits you," Naraku whispers, causing me to stare up at him, but he then clears his throat.

"We'll have dinner together later," Naraku proclaims as he then walks away, leaving me dumbfounded. "What suits me?" I wonder as I bring my hand up to my ear to feel what I assumed to be a flower, causing my face to grow red.

(Time Skip)

Every day while Kohaku and I were gone, we had sparring matches with each other, and so we decided to have one in the courtyard.

"I'm coming at you, Kohaku!" I call out as I rush towards him with the sword Naraku entrusted to me. "Your knife is handy, but this should be more useful to master." Naraku's voice rang through my head as Kohaku dodged my advance.

"You should remain focused (Y/N)," Kohaku advises as he throws his Kusarigama towards me, causing me to do a back handspring, and I smirk.

"Oh yeah?" I question as I rush towards him and go to slash at him, but he draws his own sword, causing us to clash.
