Sesshoumaru entered the house to Kei and Naraku sitting on the couch watching a movie. It had to be a horror movie based on the half naked women running from a dark dreary cabin in the middle of nowhere. Because obviously running around half naked in the dark woods ALWAYS saved you from the boogieman.
He suddenly locked stares with Naraku and instinctively glared at him.
"And what has your panties in such a twist today?" He arched a dark brow at him.
"Do not speak to me." He hissed as he walked into the house, headed for the stairs, and went to his room.
"Man I'm telling you that boy is going to gut you like a fish." Kei snorted once Sesshoumaru was out of sight.
"Maybe." Naraku smirked and looked over at his friend. "Or maybe I'll have him crawling into my bed before you get your woman back into yours."
Kei narrowed his eyes to deep little slits. "What did you do?"
"Do to who?" Hiten questioned when he walked into the house with Kageromaru right behind him.
"Oh our little resident ice prince." Kei held the bag of chips out to Kage when he sat down next to him. "I see you finally got your hair taken care of."
"Just drop it." Kage growled and looked over at Naraku. "Don't tell me you're making a move on Sesshoumaru."
"Already have." He smirked knowingly. "And," he lifted his shirt. "no knife wounds to speak of."
"Not yet." Hiten punched him in the stomach when he plopped down next to him.
Naraku grunted and slugged him in the thigh causing him to whine that he was going to have a bruise later. "Speaking of princesses." He arched a brow at Kage.
"He's lucky I haven't broke him in two yet." He growled deadly.
"I think the more correct statement is that YOU'RE lucky she I mean he hasn't broken YOU in yet." Kei laughed then jumped off the couch to avoid the fist flying at him.
"I believe it was Naraku who said that Jak was exactly what you needed in your life." Hiten nodded with a smirk at Naraku.
Naraku punched him again in the thigh in the exact same spot he punched him a moment ago causing him to rub his thigh and whine. "Yes I said that." He nodded at Kage who looked like he wanted to beat his face into the ground. "I believe Jak is just what you need to sooth that chip on your shoulder."
"I don't have a chip on my shoulder." He growled through tightly clenched teeth.
"Easy big guy." Hiten smirked at him. "You're getting awfully wound up. Which means either you really aren't interested or you REALLY ARE interested and you just don't want to admit it."
"You know what I'm interested in?" He growled as he slowly rose to his feet.
"What; hopping into bed with Jak?" Kei smirked from behind him.
He spun on his roommate. "No! But kicking the shit out of the whole lot of you will do me quite well."
"Good luck with that." Kei taunted. "You may be able to beat our asses one on one but there's no way you can take all three of us."
"What's going on here?" Jak questioned in a demanding voice sounding a lot like Sesshoumaru.
"Guy stuff." Hiten waved a dismissive hand through the air.
"Of course." Jak sighed and walked over to stand next to Kei with all his shopping bags in his hands.
"Looks like you've had a busy day." Kei looked down at the bags now on the floor at his feet.
Jak grinned at him and threw his hair over his shoulder. "Shopping is good therapy when a girl has too much on her mind."
"Oh and what did you shop for? Clothes I assume." He toed one of the shopping bags.
"Amongst other things." Jak beamed then kneeled down and began digging through his bags. "Here we go." He stood up with a paper bag in one hand and one of his shopping bags in the other. He walked over to Naraku and held the paper bag out to him. "I heard about what you did." He winked at him.
"Oh?" Naraku arched a brow at him. "So you bought me a gift?"
"No; I bought Sesshoumaru a gift and you will give it to him." He stared thoughtfully up at him. "Sesshoumaru is easy to appease if you know what he likes and dislikes."
"I see." Naraku smirked and pulled the old book out of the bag.
Jak fingered the corner of the book. "The older the book the happier it makes my little Sessy."
"Is that so." Naraku looked at him. "Well I guess I'll have to go book shopping then."
"No need." Jak waved a dismissive hand through the air. "I've taken care of it. Unless," he trailed a finger down the center of Naraku's chest. "you're going for bonus points."
Naraku smirked at that. "With Sesshoumaru I'll take all the points I can get."
"Good man." Jak smiled then suddenly became very serious. "Now listen here mister you better not hurt my little prince. Cause if you do I'll have to take it very personally and cut your black heart out."
"I think," Naraku nodded at him. "your little prince can handle himself just fine. If anything I'm more concerned with him putting a knife in my gut."
"He might." Jak giggled. "Just make sure you keep him away from all sharp objects and you'll be fine."
"Guess I better clear out all the knives and scissors from the bedroom then." He smirked.
Jak giggled at that then turned to Kageromaru. "And for you." He held out the shopping bag to him.
Kage stared at the bag suspiciously. "What is it?" He growled and made no move to take it from him.
"A gift." Jak huffed. "It's not going to bite you."
Kage tentatively took the bag from his hand and opened it. "You bought me a dress shirt and slacks?"
"Oh honey with your body you need to dress it up and show it off." He grabbed his bicep and gave it a squeeze. "You won't be able to keep the girls off of you."
"You mean girl as in boy as in you." He glared at him as he jerked his arm from him hold.
He twisted a strand of hair around his finger and smiled sweetly at him. "I can't stop thinking about he hottest body on campus." He pressed a finger against Kageromaru's chest and traced the shape of his pectoral muscle. "Which just happens to be your body." He winked at him.
"It would be good for your health if you thought about someone else's body."
"Oooooh…" Jak squealed excitedly. "I can't wait to see what you do for my health." He blew a kiss at the larger boy, grabbed his stuff, and headed for his room.
"Ten bucks says he'll be in your bed within the week." Kei chuckled.
"Ten bucks says I kick your ass if you say another word!" He bit out, flung the bag in his hand to the floor, and stormed out of the house.
"You know," Hiten stood up next to Naraku and draped his arm over Naraku's shoulder. "I think you're right. Jak is just what Kage needs."
"I agree." Kei nodded and picked up the bag Kageromaru threw on the floor. He then arched a brow over at his two friends and held up the shopping bag. "You want to do some match making?"
"Hell yea." Hiten grinned.
Naraku shook his head. "We're all dead."

Sesshoumaru looked over the top of his book at his roommate when he walked into the bedroom. "What!" He bit out when Naraku just stood there staring at him.
"Such hostility." He smirked as he walked over to his bed causing the boy to glower harder at him. "How about a peace offering." He held out the paper bag to him.
He set his book down on his lap and tentatively took the bag from his hand. "What are you doing?" He bit out when Naraku sat down on the edge of his bed.
"Watching." He shrugged.
"For what?" He hissed very tempted to kick him off his bed.
He arched a brow at him. "Why so paranoid?" He just couldn't get over how tense and high strung the kid was.
"I'm not." He glowered harder at him. "Again I don't like you."
"You liked me yesterday." He quickly countered. "Though maybe you'll like me a little better today once you see what I got you." He cut him off when he opened his mouth to respond to that.
"I doubt that." He ripped the bag open though didn't take his eyes off the man sitting on his bed.
"Well you won't know until you look at it." He snorted.
Sesshoumaru glared at him for another second longer before he looked down at the book in his lap. "The thirty-seventh copy of the Scarlet Letter?"
"Do you like it?" He questioned since it looked like the boy didn't like it and Jak was pulling his leg with this book thing.
"Of course." He gently ran his hand over the cover like he was wiping the dust off of it. "It would be better if it was the first copy but even still."
Naraku watched him stare almost lovingly at the book and decided he wanted Sesshoumaru to look at him like that… daily. "So if you could have any book in the world which one would it be?"
"The Gutenberg Bible." He looked up at him.
"The Gutenberg Bible?" He drew his brows. "Never heard of it.
"Most haven't." He looked back down at the book in his lap. "It was the first book ever printed using a movable printing press in the mid fourteen hundreds."
"Well I doubt I could afford something that rare but I believe I might be able to come up with something."
"That won't be necessary." He nodded curtly and set the book gently on his night stand before picking up the book he was reading before he was interrupted. "And I will thank Jak for the book later."
"Clever." Naraku smirked at him and took the book from his hands.
"What do you think you are doing?" He bit out and tried to snatch his back.
Naraku easily caught him by the wrists and jerked him in close. "Giving you what you need." He answered as he maneuvered him to lock both his wrists into one hand freeing up his other to grab him by the back of the head.
"Do not." He growled deadly and tried to jerk away only to find he had a tight hold of him.
"Oh I will." He purred then pulled him in locking their lips together.
The struggle he put up could barely even be called that. The feel of Naraku's powerful lips against his own and his tongue dominating his mouth left him with no resolve to fight him. Why was his resolve so easily weakened when Naraku would kiss him? He swore to himself he would never ever let Naraku touch him again and here he was having his breath kissed right out of him.
Naraku pulled back, moved his hand from the back of his head, and gently grabbed him by the chin. "Seeing you make that face makes me want to take you to bed and keep you there for a week." He whispered and trailed his thumb over his lip. "But it's too soon yet." He placed a light kiss on his lips, released his hold on him, stood up, and went to his side of the room.
Sesshoumaru watched him trying to get his senses pulled back together. How was he able to do that to him so easily? More importantly how could he let him do that to him and more then once? He was determining that Naraku was very dangerous and he was going to have to keep a close eye on him.
However keeping an eye on him meant watching him and watching inevitably led to seeing things you didn't really want to see; like now. He couldn't for the life of him tear his eyes off his roommate as he pulled his shirt off over his head. It was a hard not to go across the room and run his hands over those shifting flexing liner back… short stopper… line guard or whatever the hell he was muscles. He really needed to read about football so he would know what Naraku did in the sport to make him look like a brick wall.
"You should feel up that Naraku; I bet he has all kinds of muscles that need a good rub down." Jak's voice suddenly echoed through his head. "If I were you I'd walk into your room right when he's stripped down to go to bed and attack."
Oh he was hard pressed to walk over there and do as Jak suggested when Naraku took his pants off. Those powerful football legs, that powerful football ass encased in boxer briefs, the lightly tanned skin, that dark hair… oh he was VERY tempted to take Jak's advice.
Instead he opted for another course of action. With a small shake of his head to clear it, he stood up, grabbed his book, and left the room without a word. He WAS NOT going to play that way ever again; no matter how good of a kisser Naraku was.
Naraku watched him leave from over his shoulder with a smirk. He was going to have that boy warming his bed before the end of the month. Oh he couldn't wait to have that lithe little body writhing under him.

"Where's Sesshoumaru?" Jak ran into the house in a hysterical panic.
Kage sat up and glared deadly at him. "Did I not say I had a migraine this morning and did I also not say that I wanted complete silence in this house today?"
"This is more important than your silly ol' headache." He huffed. "Toga is here and if Sesshoumaru isn't here you're going to have to entertain him until I find him." He then smiled sweetly at him. "Then once Sesshoumaru is here I know a few tricks in treating migraines."
"No." He bit out as he stood up. "And he's up in his room."
"You want to suffer when you don't have to then that makes you a fool." Jak snorted as he walked to the stairs. "Oh and Toga that's Kageromaru master of the house." He waved a flippant hand through the air. "Kageromaru meet Toga my little Sessy's daddy." He grinned at him and ran up the steps.
Kage glowered at the stairs until Jak was out of sight before he turned that glare to the nearly identical though older version of Sesshoumaru standing in the foyer of the house. "I have a headache." He bit out to the arched silver brow the man was giving him.
Toga moved over to the large study table and sat down on one of the chairs. "I bet." He smirked. "Having Jak around does tend to drive a man mad."
"I assume you're speaking from experience." He crossed his arms over his chest.
"And then some." He nodded curtly. "I've had that boy in my life for years. I'm well aware what life with him and my son can be like."
"I heard that." Sesshoumaru growled from the steps with Jak right behind him.
"Of course you did." Toga snorted as he looked over at his boy. "So you want to tell me how you managed to swing it so Jak could move in?"
"Irrelevant." Sesshoumaru walked down the rest of the steps and stood in front of his father. "Why are you here." He demanded.
"Because I'm your father and as such I'm entitled to know what your doing, when you're doing it, and whom you're doing it with."
"It's barely been two weeks since I moved in; hardly any cause to bring you here."
"Maybe I just wanted to come and visit my son." He arched a brow at him. "Did you consider that?"
Sesshoumaru snorted at that. "If that is the case then I find your behavior highly suspicious."
"It's suspicious that I want to check in on my kid and make sure he's doing okay? Especially when he's away from home for the first time on his own in college." He snorted. "Boy you need to quit being so paranoid."
"I'm not paranoid." He bit out. "As you can see I'm fine." He turned to go back to his room. "Have a nice trip back home."
"Not so fast." He stood up and pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. "Now that the pleasantries if you can call it that are out of the way; you want to explain this to me?" He held the piece of paper out to him.
Sesshoumaru took the paper from his hand, stared at it for a second, then looked at him with a brow arched. "You can read so what do you want me to explain." He demanded.
"I WANT you to explain to me how it's possible for there to be a three hundred dollar bill for the book store. Especially after I told you no more books until your first grades come in."
He narrowed his eyes deeply upon him. "It is my money and I will spend it where I see fit."
"It's not when the bill comes to me and my name is on the credit card." He easily countered.
"I'm an adult." He growled.
"So you are." He stared pointedly at him.
"No." He growled knowing full well what his father was thinking.
"I see." He crossed his arms over his chest. "You want the money but you don't want to put forth the effort to earn it."
"You gave it to me." He argued.
"Be that as it may you either follow the rules or you get a job." He ordered. "Now if I get one more unauthorized bill for something from you I will cut you off. You understand me boy?"
Sesshoumaru gnashed his teeth together as he nodded curtly at him. "Do not return unless I request it." He growled then turned and headed up to his room.
"Little bastard." Toga growled under his breath then looked at Jak still standing on the stairs. "And you…"
"I didn't do anything." Jak defended cutting him off.
"Yet." Toga glared. "I know your brand of innocence boy and it's not so innocent."
Jak huffed as he stared at his friend's father. "Fine if I do anything to encourage your precious little baby I'll let you know because after all he's such a tool."
"I'm not laughing." He growled.
"Huh maybe you should." He countered. "Then maybe Sesshoumaru would once in awhile." He nodded curtly at him then headed back to Sesshoumaru's room to check on his friend.
"Yes because that's obviously his problem." He shook his head then looked over at Kage. "Now that that nonsense is out of the way," he sat back down. "you can tell me the rules of the house; since it seems you're the mother here."
"That's simple," he growled not at all liking that mother comment. "don't piss me off and we'll all get along just fine."
Toga arched a silver brow at that. "Well that's all fine and good but I was thinking more along the lines of parties and drinking."
"You drink under age, you get my foot up your ass." He nodded curtly. "You have a party without my permission, you get my foot up your ass. You're failing a single class and attend a party, you get my foot up your ass."
"Well it looks like I don't have to worry then." He suddenly sighed deeply. "Though with my Sesshoumaru drinking and partying isn't something I really need to concern myself with. It's Jak he has a tendency to cause trouble and somehow manages to drag my boy with him."
"My job is not to baby sit." Kage glared at him. "If it's an issue then you should take them both home with you so you can baby sit them yourself."
Toga smirked at that and stood up. "Not on your life." He turned for the door. "Take good care of my boy and if any serious issues arise…" he walked to the door, looked over his shoulder at the boy with a smirk, and left not finishing his sentence.
Now he knew where Sesshoumaru got that shit from and wanted to punch both boy and father in the face.
