Time of Heaven and Hell
Chapter Seven
Why the Hell does this always happen to me? Sesshomaru asked himself mentally.
He was at Naraku's door. He raised his hand to knock when it slid open and there was Naraku, half dressed.
"You called?"
"Yes I did, come in." Naraku said and stepped aside as to allow Sesshomaru entrance.
Sesshomaru stepped inside and past Naraku looking around the room. He turned to look at Naraku, only to see him closing the door.
"What can I do for you . . . Master?"
"I'm very lonely tonight. You may keep me company." Naraku said and sat down.
This made Sesshomaru uncomfortable.
"Please sit down." Naraku said indicting the place beside him where he sat.
"I would prefer to stand."
"Don't be difficult Sesshomaru."
"All I said . . ." Sesshomaru's words were cut off when Naraku slammed Sesshomaru into the wall, and connected his fist with Sesshomaru's stomach.
"Like I said, don't be difficult." He pulled Sesshomaru to the bed and held his arms above his head.
"Now do as I say and you might actually enjoy your self." Naraku whispered into his ear.
Sesshomaru remembered how many guards had tried to do this to him back when he was in the camp for slaves and that young girl that tried to seduce him, which failed miserably of course. When Naraku started to press kisses along his jaw, this snapped Sesshomaru out of his daze.
He shoved Naraku's side, getting him off of his body.
"What do you think your doing?"
"I don't belong to you anymore."
"Tread carefully Sesshomaru, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your little brother."
"You touch a hair on his head and I'll kill you."
"I'm terrified Sesshomaru. Now get over here and lay down."
"No."
"I didn't want to do this the hard way Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru prepared for what Naraku would throw at him.
Naraku stood and came slowly toward him, a smirk on his face. He threw the first punch at Sesshomaru's head, he dodged to the left, the fist missing by two inches and landing in the wall behind him.
He moved out of the way of Naraku's body before extending his claws at him, he slashed Naraku's stomach making the flesh melt, where it had been hit.
Naraku jumped back, and covered the wound with his hand," I forgot about your poison claw, maybe I should have kept those bands on you." Naraku said looking at the wound; it had already begun to heal.
"Bad for you, good for me."
"Not really Sesshomaru, you will be mine one way or another."
"Just try me."
"Very well." Naraku lunged at him hitting him square in the jaw, stunning Sesshomaru, Naraku grabbed him bye the wrist and pulled him down, but it wasn't enough to hold Sesshomaru down.
He kicked Naraku and pushed him onto his back. Naraku cursed under his breath, but managed to get his knee in Sesshomaru's stomach and throw him over his head, making him land on his back.
Sesshomaru landed with a grunt, and slowly got back up again, he was on his knees when Naraku slammed him under the jaw sending Sesshomaru five feet away once again on his back.
"I hope that hurt."
Naraku pulled Sesshomaru up by the arm only to connect his fist with his stomach and dropping him back to the ground, doubling over in pain.
"You wanted the hard way, correct?"
Sesshomaru recovered fast, and got back up.
"You really are pathetic Naraku. You can't even control me."
"I'm not the one that's a slave Sesshomaru."
"I'm not a slave." Sesshomaru said gritting his teeth.
"Then what are you doing here? You say you're not a slave but you call me Master and even obey most of my orders."
"Don't worry I won't be here for long."
"Oh really, and you think that I'll just let you walk right out my door? No I won't let you go; I worked to hard to get you. You, Sesshomaru, are mine."
"I belong to no one." With that said Sesshomaru lunged at Naraku, he was using his poison claw again. He slashed at Naraku aiming for his chest, missing twice, but hitting and slashing his chest on the third try.
He clawed at Naraku's chest leaving four bloody marks across it. When Sesshomaru came at him again, Naraku grabbed his arm before he hit, swung him around and slammed him into the wall, holding his arm against the wall, and applying a lot of pressure to the arm that was against Sesshomaru's neck and pressing his body against Sesshomaru's making sure he couldn't move, forgetting Sesshomaru still had the use of his left arm.
Sesshomaru seeing that Naraku was all 'tied up,' took full advantage of this. He tried to force his way out of Naraku's grasp but to no effect, so instead he just extended his claws and stabbed Naraku in the side, going deep.
Naraku gasped in pain and tried to back away but Sesshomaru held onto him, as he pushed his hand further into the wound, a bright colored blood was spilling out of the open wound, covering Sesshomaru's hand completely.
"How does that feel?"
How could I let this happen? Naraku thought. He was so close to being mine damn it.
Once Sesshomaru had completely pushed his hand into the wound, he let his poison go into Naraku. Naraku's eyes widened. Sesshomaru released Naraku, and pulled his hand out tearing the flesh even more as he pulled out of the wound. Sesshomaru looked at his hand satisfied that it was covered in his enemy's blood.
Naraku fell to the floor covering the hole in his side that was pouring out blood. The poison was taking its effect on the inside, and Naraku could feel it. Pain was shocking through him in large amounts.
Sesshomaru knew that he might try and regenerate, the poison he had put into his body would only last for so long, so he ran out of the room wiping his bloody hand on his kimono as he went to his room where Inuyasha resided.
"Inuyasha, wake up, we have to leave." Sesshomaru called into his ear.
"What's the matter? I'm tired, brother."
"We have to go, get up."
Inuyasha just moaned and turned over.
"Damn."
Sesshomaru took a blanket and wrapped Inuyasha up in it before picking him up bridal style and jogging out of the room.
When he ran into the hallway he saw Naraku's back toward them, he was bent half over, his hand still covering the open wound in his side. He turned his head and looked directly at Sesshomaru, a creepy looking smile on his face.
"O shit." Sesshomaru cursed and ran the other way. Inuyasha was still sleeping peacefully like nothing was happening.
Sesshomaru went through a few hallways stopping only to find out where he was going.
When he saw a door that led out, he ran toward it, but stopped when he saw Naraku standing in his path.
How in Hell? Sesshomaru thought.
"I told you I wasn't about to let you go." Naraku panted obviously still in pain.
Sesshomaru could see Naraku's hand was covered in his own blood.
"Inuyasha I suggest you wake up right about now." Sesshomaru whispered in his ear.
"Why?"
"Your mine!" Naraku yelled and ran toward Sesshomaru.
Hearing this yell, Inuyasha finally decided to wake up.
"What's going on brother?"
Sesshomaru dropped Inuyasha to his feet and shoved him to the side, making him fall to the floor.
Naraku aimed for Sesshomaru's head but missed when he brought out his poison claw on Naraku's arm. He made sure Naraku's arm went passed him so he could grab his wrist with his left arm, and bringing his right hand down on Naraku's arm, He extended his claws and slashed through Naraku's arm slicing it off. The poison working perfectly, in cleaning cutting it off.
Sesshomaru tossed the arm aside, while Naraku backed up several feet, yelling in pain. He clutched the wound where his arm used to be; blood was dripping out of it. Naraku fell to his knee, breathing heavily.
"Inuyasha." Sesshomaru called.
No reply.
"Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru called again.
"Yeah?"
"Get your ass moving!" Sesshomaru yelled at him.
"Going." Inuyasha said before darting off past Naraku. When he passed him, Naraku reached out his arm and caught Inuyasha by the ankle, tripping him.
"Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru ran the short distance toward Naraku. He used on hand to grab him by the neck and shove him to the floor on his back. Sesshomaru grabbed his wrist with his other hand and squeezed causing Naraku to wince in even more pain and release Inuyasha's ankle, giving him a chance to run toward the door.
When Sesshomaru saw that Inuyasha had gone, he raised his fist high and brought it down on Naraku's face, hitting him over and over again.
"You will never threaten me or my brother again!" Sesshomaru said in between hits.
After punching Naraku into unconsciousness, Sesshomaru stopped and lowered his arm breathing heavily. Naraku's face was bruised and bleeding; blood was still coming out of both wounds.
Sesshomaru stood and kicked Naraku in the side before walking away toward the door, not looking back at the unconscious form on the hard wood floor.
"Come on brother." Inuyasha called from outside.
Sesshomaru took a breath of fresh air when he got outside, finally feeling like he was actually free of everyone that wanted to control and hold him down.
He saw his little brother and went toward him giving him small smile.
