Okay… As I promised to sesshomarunaraku, I am putting up the sequel to 'Love Or Lust?' My updates will be slower with this story because I'm still writing out the written version. Please forgive me if I don't update for a long time… like in a month or two. Well, I'm just sitting here eating grapes and typing this up… I think I'll get onto the story right after this disclaimer and warning.
Warning: Rated NC-17 or M… which ever you want to call it… Either way it's yaoi and that means descriptive guy on guy! Leave now or have very bad mental images where you'll have to go to therapy…
Disclaimer: This stands for as long as this story is being read, written, and typed… I don't own InuYasha or those characters made by Rumiko Takahashi. But I do own Aki and Sora. Those are actual Japanese names! Go figure! I wasn't even thinking about that at the time! Well, 'Mamotte Ageru'!
Mamotte Ageru
By: Kurai Noto
Chapter 1: The Return Of Naraku
"Otou-san! Where are you?" a young female called. She stared up at the ceiling, her big brown eyes shining. The young shoujo looked to be about ten or eleven years old with short dark brown hair up in a ponytail. She wore a beautiful dress with sunflowers on it.
"I'm in the library, Aki," a deep voice called. The shoujo's face lit up with excitement and ran towards the library. She came face to face with her otou-san as she ran to him. The otoko had long silver hair, but he didn't look old. He looked to be about twenty to twenty-six. He had golden eyes, a blue crescent on his forehead, and magenta strips here and there on his body. "How is my chibi hana doing today?"
"Daijoubu… Did you forget that it's my birthday today, otou-san?"
"I most certainly did not forget. I have your purezento right here," he murmured softly as he carried her behind the desk. He reached underneath the wooden desk and pulled out a colorfully wrapped box. He set Aki down on the desktop. "Go ahead and open it, my chibi oujo." Aki unwrapped the box carefully; she opened the box and gasped.
"A hon!" She looked at her otou-san hopefully and he nodded at the question in her eyes. "Arigato, Otou-san! Domo arigato gozaimasu!" She flung her arms around him.
"You're welcome, Aki-chan." He lifted her off the desktop to set her down on the floor. "Go play with your brother Sora, now." He patted her bottom softly. "I have things I need to see to."
"Hai, otou-san," she whispered and ran off to find her onii-chan. He smiled after her, but his smile faded when a panther youkai and an inu youkai stepped out of the shadows.
"Nani?"
"Sesshomaru-sama… There's a shouki advancing this way from the north," the panther spoke.
"Have you identified it?"
"Iie, Sesshomaru-sama," the inu spoke.
"Arylin… Tzumi… Do you two remember what I said to you both a long time ago?" They glanced at each other.
Flashback of five hundred years ago…Both Tzumi and Arylin were getting their asses chewed out by an angered Sesshomaru. The taiyoukai was going on about what would be expected of them if they lived long enough to keep following him. The two youkai were scared of the taiyoukai so much that they were clutching the arms of the chairs they sat in as they far away from Sesshomaru as they could.
"You will be expected to report to me when you feel a shouki advancing on us… as well as who or what it is. Understood?" The two frightened youkai nodded their heads in understanding. "Good. Now, get out of my sight." The youkai scrambled to the door quickly as Sesshomaru smirked.
End of flashback
"Hai," both youkai groaned. They feared for what their lord would do to them for not requiring all of the information before informing him. "What are you going to do to us, Sesshomaru-sama?" they asked in unison.
"Nothing… at this time being. We need to take care of the shouki."
"But what of the children, m'lord? Who will watch them while we are gone?" Tzumi questioned softly. Sesshomaru turned towards the panther.
"Jaken!" the inu taiyoukai hollered. The short imp came hustling towards his lord's call. "Watch Aki and Sora while I am gone."
"Hai, m'lord." He watched as the three youkai took off towards the north. Jaken ran out of the heya calling the siblings names. He didn't want to be punished or see an angered Sesshomaru-sama. "Aki! Sora!"
When the three youkai came to the shouki, it was just a lowly snake youkai. To make up for themselves, Tzumi and Arylin easily slayed the snake youkai. Once that one was dead, another youkai emerged from the woods. This youkai was a usagi and was much stronger than the snake. The usagi was slain, but a bear came forth.
Sesshomaru growled in annoyance and used his youkai whip to have the bear split into chunks of meat, flesh, and fur dropping down to the ground. He dusted a clump of fur off his shoulder just as three screams pierced the air. He turned towards Tzumi and Arylin, but they shrugged. His head snapped in the direction of his home, he raced towards the house to find Jaken's head severed and stuck on a stick in the ground. His face was contorted in pain.
"Onegai, Kami-sama… Let them be all right…" he whispered as he barged into the house. He ignored the blood as he raced to the siblings' heya. When he was inside, he gasped and fell to his knees. Aki and Sora… were gone! "Amari! Where are you?" he yelled. Sesshomaru heard a soft moan from Amari's heya. He came to her heya to find her on the floor. Amari was an onna that looked to be about thirty years old with long dark brown hair in a braid. She had brown eyes that were crying. Her shirt and skirt were ruined from the dark blood staining them.
"Sesshomaru-kun… Someone took them… Someone took Aki and Sore," she whispered.
"Amari…"
"Don't worry about me. Find the children, Sesshomaru-kun… An otoko with red eyes took them… Onegai… Find them…" The taiyoukai growled softly at the mention of red eyes. He knew who it was… It was Naraku who had taken Sora and Aki.
"You are not hurt, are you?"
"Iie…"
"I will bring the children back, Amari. Don't you worry." Sesshomaru raced out of the house, passing Arylin and Tzumi on his way. They didn't chase after him. They were too busy to notice as they stared at Jaken's contorted face in awe.
Inside the house, Amari stood and slowly walked through the house, laughing every now and then at a random person still trying to hang on to tamashi. She would kick the person if they hadn't given up living by the time she quit laughing. Even then, they would die in the end. Amari came to a closet and opened the door to see the same onna staring at her. The real Amari was bound and gagged with tear-streaks down her cheeks to stain her shirt. The Amari that was covered in blood shape shifted into their original form.
"They're all dead, Amari… You're children are still alive, but everyone else in the house is dead," the deep, mysterious voice drawled slowly. "You will soon be dead as well." Amari's brown eyes shifted between the otoko's red eyes. She shook her head as tentacles came from his body. The gag in her mouth muffled her scream as the tentacles pierced her body, instantly killing her.
The otoko walked from the house chuckling to himself softly. He licked at the blood on his hands as he walked to meet up with the taiyoukai.
"Chikuso… Where could he be?" the inu taiyoukai muttered.
"Looking for me, Sesshomaru?" Naraku's voice ran out softly in his ear. The inu twirled around to see the hanyou. "What's wrong? You don't look shiawase to see me."
"I was zettai shiawase to see you. What have you done with Aki and Sora?" Sesshomaru paused and suddenly remembered something. "Did I not kill you five hundred years ago?"
And so it begins! There may be many Japanese words that you don't know at the moment. Well, I can tell you that I will translate all the Japanese words I am using and will be using in chapter five. Just remember that so I don't have to keep reminding you all! Sometimes my notes at the top and at the bottom are important so it's best to always read them! Well, there's the first chapter in 'Mamotte Ageru' which means 'I'll protect you' in Japanese… If you read the note at the top, you can just skip over this next sentence. I have yet to complete the written form of this story so I will be updating slower than I normally do! Well, that's all I have to say. I hope to see you soon! Bye!
