Chapter Twelve: Heat Part Three
VVVVVRRRRRRROOOOOOOMMMMMMM NNNNNEEEEEEEERRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMM EEEERRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM! went the engine in Sesshomaru's Lamborghini as he sped down the winding road quite literally in the middle of nowhere. Light sweat had begun to bead on Sesshomaru's fair face, and as the time ticked steadily by, he began to grow more nervous. The side of his free hand was pressed against his teeth as he gnawed on the flesh with his fangs, a habit when he was getting rather edgy, and shifted uneasily in the leather seat.
WHOOSH! There was another one of those annoying signs with the crazily grinning Pegasus with the bright lights and moving hands. Well, at least he only had a few kilometers left to go…and there was the drive for the immense mansion as he drove…right…by it!
Sesshomaru slammed on his brakes and burned rubber in his wake as the car did a one-eighty and he sped back to the drive. By the time he returned, however, the gates were already nearly closed. Leaving the keys in his car and the car running, Sesshomaru raced towards the gates as they slammed shut and began to scale them, his visage that of an enraged beast.

Inside, Naraku was watching from his bedroom window, a satisfied smirk gracing his full lips. "That's it, my darling…come to me willingly…so that I may take you as my own and slay this lovely creature at our ceremony before your very eyes…"
Ryou looked over his shoulder at Naraku with tear-stained cheeks, his breathing shaky with fear. Meanwhile, in the background the music had switched over to Cradle of Filth and the stereo was now belting out Nymphetamime as loud as it possibly could while Naraku's dark laughter mixed grotesquely with the style of the music.
Suddenly, Naraku turned and swept over to Ryou, lifting his chin to gaze into his teary chocolate eyes and smile. "Perhaps we won't slay you…perhaps we'll keep you alive as a toy, a servant maybe…or I may just keep you all to myself, my little Tenshi…" Ryou began to jerk away from him as he moved in to press his lips to the teenager's, his thorny hands cutting his delicate flesh as he moved to gently push him down onto the bed and crawl atop him.
"No…no…please…I beg you…please don't…!" Ryou cried out softly, his entire body shivering with fear as again the tears began to fall. "Sesshomaru…" he called softly as one of Naraku's hands held down his neck and the other began to undress him in his bonds. "SESSHOMARU!"
CRA-SHHHH! went the bedroom window, forcing Naraku to look up from his rape, his smile growing wider. Before him was Sesshomaru: beautiful, sweaty, pissed and bloodthirsty. "Sesshomaru…how good to see you…" Naraku offered.
Sesshomaru let out a feral roar and attacked Naraku with teeth and claws like a wild animal with rabies, tearing into him with all his might, subjecting the prick to all of his rage and hunger while Naraku screamed – whether it was pleasure or pain no one really knows – in the tousle.
When all was said and done, Naraku lay in a small pile on the floor, blood spattered all over the room. His head was dismembered – well, all of his limbs were dismembered – and all of his gizzards lay strewn across the floor. Sesshomaru suffered significantly less than Naraku did: he only had a few nicks and bruised fists to contend with, though he was drenched in blood.
After all was said and done, Sesshomaru moved to untie Ryou and lifted him into his strong arms to take him home. "I'm sorry, Ryou – Kun…I didn't want you to have to witness that…but I'm here now…and I'll try not to frighten you again…I promise you that…" he said, nuzzling Ryou's cheek. Ryou nodded and hid his head in Sesshomaru's neck, asleep by the time the youkai placed him in the passenger seat. The youkai stroked the younger boy's hair and cheek gently with a blood caked hand before going back inside to take care of the body, scaling the wall again with a bottle of gasoline and a book of matches in hand.
After liberally dousing the room and the body, Sesshomaru took one last look at Naraku's pitiful body and struck a match, throwing it over his shoulder as he dove out the window like a diver, arms outstretched like a bird as the entire wing of the mansion exploded behind him. He landed in a smooth roll on the ground, stood, dusted himself off, and stepped into the car as he closed the door, sighing and resting his head against the steering wheel for a moment before driving back into Domino.

Once back at their place, they jumped into the shower to wash off; Sesshomaru to wash off the blood and Ryou to wash away Naraku's overpowering miasmic scent. While they showered, both stayed at their respective ends of the shower as there was a showerhead at either end and spoke little, both of them unusually quiet.
"Sesshomaru…thank you…" Ryou said after awhile in a very soft voice. Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder at him and smiled a second before returning to his soapy arms.
"You're welcome, Ryou – Kun…" he said, his voice still sounding a little gruff. Ryou bit his lip and walked silently down to Sesshomaru, sliding his arms around his waist and lightly touching his wet chest, resting his hands against the youkai's muscular back.
"Sesshomaru – Sama…I love you…and I'm sorry for running out earlier…I was frightened…and I never meant to cause you so much trouble…" Sesshomaru turned around and kissed Ryou.
"It's alright…all that matters right now is that you're safe…and you're back where you belong…in my arms…"
