For Piratequeen who got me wanting to write a Kikyou fic…
It was another typical night on tour for Youkai, and Kikyou was backstage with the rest of the rock wives and hangers-on. She stood off to the side, feeling terribly uncomfortable. She hated the way the other rock wives dangled “friendship” at her, but she always felt it was tempered by an undercurrent of distrust. Like I’d run off with one of their stupid husbands when I’ve been there, done that… Damn it! I make one mistake in my life and now I’m going to grow old paying for it! she thought bitterly. She smiled her tight little smile as her husband headed her way. He’s the one who can’t keep his pants zipped, not me! Heaving a heavy sigh, she glared at him when he stopped to chat up some pretty young thing. When he continued to ignore her, Kikyou sauntered over to them. Time to play the evil bitch from hell again…
“Narie-pooh…” she purred, mentally shaking her head at the way he suddenly tensed, like a little kid about to be caught doing something naughty by his parents. “Who’s your little friend?” Please tell me it’s not someone you’ve invited to share our bed tonight… I don’t know how many times I have to tell you those days are long over… I’m not “dating” you anymore; we’re married and I don’t want to have to keep worrying about picking up something nasty every time we have sex…
“This is uh…?” Naraku looked from his wife to the groupie and back as he struggled to remember the girl’s name.
“Akane…”
“Akane…” Kikyou repeated sweetly. “You like my husband’s band?”
“Yeah!” The girl blinked. “Husband?”
Kikyou nodded, and giving the girl a sympathetic look, she said, “He filled your head with nonsense, hunh? That’s how I wound up married to him, but in this instance, I wouldn’t believe anything he tells you, right, Darling?”
Naraku smiled and Kikyou felt her heart racing. She could tell he was annoyed at her for spoiling his “fun,” but she had learned early on in their marriage how to gently put her foot down with him. Surprisingly, it worked and he was slowly seeing “the error of his ways” as her ex-husband would have put it. Plus it had the unexpected bonus of him taking out his sexual frustrations on her instead of straying, something she found she enjoyed.
“Damn it! That’s my cue to get back onstage. It was nice meeting you,” he said politely to the girl, before kissing his wife on the cheek. “Meet you in my dressing room after the show…” he murmured softly.
Kikyou nodded in reply. Turning to Akane, she said, “I must apologize for his behavior…”
“That’s okay…” Akane shrugged as she hid her disappointment over not getting together with the tall lanky American after the show. As she melted back into the crowd of hangers-on, Kikyou heard her mutter “bitch.”
Yeah, you and everyone else like to think so, so who am I to disabuse you of that notion…? “What do you want?” she snapped at Rin as the sixteen year old approached her.
“Aside from finding out which limo you’re riding back to the hotel in-”
Kikyou interrupted her. “Why? So you can make sure to be in the other one?”
Rin rolled her eyes at her. “No, so I can help Jak make sure Kagura gets in the other one, unless you get off on her calling you a bitch.” Rin grinned at Kikyou, noting the brief look of wide-eyed surprise that replaced her normally cool expression. “Look, I don’t give a rat’s ass how you and Naraku wound up together; in fact, I think you both deserve each other, but I do know you’d be a lot happier if you tried being a little friendlier.”
Kikyou took a deep breath and blew out her nose as she narrowed her eyes at her. How dare this lil brat lecture me like that!
“In case you hadn’t noticed, I don’t exactly fit in with the rest of them either, but at least I try!”
“I know…”
Rin softened her expression. “So you wanna ride in our limo? I hope don’t you don’t mind Ban and Jak coming with, but they’re so cute together…” She giggled. “You can see they just want to jump each other’s bones, but they sit there and act like that’s the farthest thing form their minds.”
Kikyou laughed.
“Made you laugh!” Amazing! Your face didn’t crack!
“So?”
“So, maybe if you acted like this all the time, even Kagura would give up ragging on you,” Rin said.
It was Kikyou’s turn to roll her eyes. “Fine… I’ll ride with you.”
“Good! I’ll catch you later then!” Rin grinned.
Kikyou, watching her walk away, wondered what she had gotten herself into. As much as she hated to admit it, the kid had a point. Perhaps she should take a chance and reach out to that offer of friendship Rin so enticingly dangled before her…

Date: 2010-05-25 08:12 pm (UTC)I have fun with her here cuz she isn't well liked & I love the challenge of getting into her head, since she's cool & reserved & rather stand-offish, yet wants to belong.
*blushes* Yeah? I didn't know that. XD
