Sesshomaru's POV
He paced back and forth through the manor. 'What's taking them so long to find him?' he couldn't help but think that something bad had happened to him. His servants were looking at him funny because he was never this hot-headed or unsettled. But how could he help it? He had come to love the hanyou, that much is definitely true. He began to tap his foot in impatience, like a housewife that would wait for their husband. 'But then, aren't I the man in the relationship?', he thought to himself in a narcissistic manner. Who would kidnap him anyway, to everyone else's eyes he is an ordinary hanyou, unless he really was hiding something from me. His anger flared at such a thought as his servants backed up slightly at the aura he was giving off. 'I'll just have to find him myself then, surely if I can feel his presence anywhere then I'll just follow it.', he put on his white kimono and tied the obi before walking out the door to find his love.
The sunlight outside would've hurt his eyes if he wasn't so determined to find his soon to be mate. His father would be mad that he just left the palace without a word, but then again he would probably want him to find Inuyasha too. The melody of the birds couldn't calm him, not even the sight of the garden in front of him. He brought absolutely nothing with him, he didn't want to waste any time in finding him. The cool breezes from the wind were a relief from the relentless sun, the scent of demons in the air was thick with the smell of blood. There was another smell that was very familiar, but he couldn't place where it was from. He kept walking, weary of the tree roots that kept wanting to trip him.
Inuyasha's POV
He could barely keep his thoughts straight, 'Who is Naraku? What is the Shikon no Tama?' He felt very dizzy as he tried to see where he was. He felt around him, cold cement, no wonder why his body ached so bad. Something was holding him close to the floor, around his wrists he felt cold metal. Chains. 'He actually put me in chains!' His breathing became rushed probably from the hyperventilation. 'Well, he hasn't killed me yet..', he tried to think of this as positive, instead of biting off his tongue and dying, not wanting to find out what will happen next. The air around him was damp and smelled of mildew and sandstone. 'Great, he has me in some cave.', his sarcastic tone in his head didn't help him calm down. All he could do was sit in the dark until his death or whatever fate had in store for him. He silently prayed to Sesshomaru and whatever gods names he knew. 'Wait, Gods? When did I learn about gods?' as he tried to dig his brain for the answers, pain and nausea came over him.
Naraku's POV
He could almost taste the fear coming from the hanyou. He found that just watching him was amusing. He watched his expression change from curiosity to pure terror when he realized that he was in chains. He was about to step into the cave to retrieve him when he noticed that a cold sweat broke over the boy. His ears were slightly lowered in deep thought, as he put his hand down on the ground to steady himself. His aura flared greatly along with the jewels power. 'Hmmm. I wonder what's causing it?', he stepped forward from the darkness to get some answers from him. 'This will be interesting.'
"Inuyasha.", I said his name first instead of demanding his answer right away. It's not likely he'll answer me, but I will still look forward to his reaction. He waited a few moments, but no answer came. He stooped down to his height to get a clearer look at him, demons could already see in the dark, but you can't really see under his bangs. He pushed his bangs up with his hands and saw him flinch from under him. He trembled as he muttered incoherent words.
"S...Stop...I don't want to remember anymore!", Inuyasha's shriek pierced his ears as the boy from under him writhed in pain. He took hold of both of his wrists with one hand and put it above his head, he was scratching at himself trying to stop the pain with more pain. But when he did this, he began to kick wildly, so he sat on his thighs trying to stop his thrashing.
"Inuyasha! Get a hold of yourself!", I yelled it at him to try to get him to snap out of it. I succeeded, but he took one look at me and began to scream again.
"STOP SCREAMING ALREADY!", I roared at him while still holding him down, he would only attack if he was let go. The hanyou stopped once again and realized that he meant no harm.
"N...Naraku?", the boy asked unsure of himself, he couldn't see in the dark.
"Yes, it's me, and thank you for not screaming again.", he really was sick of screams, all of his enemies would always scream at him in either pain or fear so it kind of got boring. Now what he would really like to see is a smile, he has never seen anyone smile from the heart. Of course he has seen smirks of all kinds, but it's not the same thing. Inuyasha began to squirm from beneath him, a blush spread across his entire face. 'Why is he blushing?', he then realized the way he was sitting on him and that his hands were in his grasp above his head.
"What's wrong Inuyasha?", he asked just to want to hear him say it, to hear his reaction. 'Yes, I am quite evil when it comes to teasing people.'
"P..Please get off of me N...Naraku...", he said with his blush deepening. He was a lot better looking than Kikyo. He could feel a selfish urge well up in him, he could tell that the hanyou hadn't been claimed by another yet, his scent was still clean. He smelled a little bit like lavender, but that was from a soap, he smelled more like cherry blossoms. He could imagine the hanyou naked from under him, his white skin having the slightest tint of pink, his long silver hair smooth to the touch. As much as he wanted to claim the hanyou, he knew that he couldn't. Not yet anyways. He wanted the hanyou to love him first, or at least like him somewhat. He quickly got off the hanyou and wiped the imaginary dust off of his clothes.
"If I let you out of those chains we can get out of these caves, you'll have a bed, food, and shelter. You must not attack me or you will be killed on the spot for your insolence.", I said, needing to make him understand who is in command. He didn't want to sound rude, but there was no other way around it. He was always the alpha in the relationships he has had, and that certainly wasn't going to change now.
"But I need to go back!", his voice sounded desperate and small. 'He probably thinks that staying with me is torture..', I thought to myself bitterly.
"You will not be going back. Until you get that notion out of your head, you will stay here in the cave so you don't run off when i'm not around.", he hated the look of despair on his face when he said those words, he wanted to give him what he wanted, but he was a cruel, cruel man. And with that, he left the cave leaving the hanyou in pitch black darkness, much like the time that he was stuck in nothing but darkness too. The dark memories of his past came to his mind to haunt him, but he pushed it away, knowing that he was stronger than that.
Sesshomaru's POV
He was wandering through the forest in hopes of some sign of his lost beloved. It was already nighttime, almost a full day since he had disappeared. He felt that he had failed Inuyasha by not protecting him, by not keeping him safe from harm. His own selfish desires clouded his mind from his top priority. Inuyasha himself. If there was a way to beat himself up mentally, then he was doing it. Deeper into the woods he went, half expecting to see his yukata covered in blood and his remains not too far from his clothes. Even if he wasn't dead, if he was outside in the forest at night the he would surely be killed by the youkai that hunt at night. Most of them are extremely vicious, if not utterly brutes. He quivered in anxiety, worrying about him.
The wind changed directions as he came closer to the 6th district. His head perked up slightly, doubting his senses. 'That has to be Inuyasha!', he would've jumped with joy, but since he was a calm and collected person most of the time, he just smiled as he started running in the direction of the scent. He was very careful in masking his own scent, because whoever had him was powerful if they could take him without him noticing their presence. Dodging the undergrowth of the forest was an easy task, but not running into demons would be a lot harder. He let his hope rise as Inuyasha's scent got stronger and stronger. The tree roots looked like black hands trying to grab him, but he pushed on, wanting to see that innocent smile and the eyes of Inuyasha that held a golden hue. He was hoping that nothing bad had been done to him, and if something did happen to him then there was hell to pay. "Inuyasha, I'm coming for you...", he said aloud, hoping that his prayer reached him some way to reassure him.
Authors Note: Sorry it took so long for the update. :( I had a million of ideas running through my head as I tried to agree on one. I was going to have a rape scene with Inuyasha and Naraku, but decided to leave him pure and innocent for Sesshomaru. Plus, Naraku isn't that bad, I will give more information about Naraku later in the story and how he came to be that way. Until then, please review! I wanted to say thanks to a couple specific reviewers: MunksAngelQueen2010, ardentes, clio1111,Kitsune Ayumi, and xxxwallflowerxxx.
