Chapter Seven - Comatose State
Sesshomaru noticed the lightening of the sky through his peripherals. The tree's leaves brightening, birds chirping happily as they caught worms deep within the ground. Inuyasha shifted in his sleep, it was the most the young one had slept since he was a child, sleeping soundly in his mother's arms.
Sesshomaru shifted into a standing position, feeling that his brother had slept long enough, decided to wake the male. Watching Inuyasha slumber through the night gave the young Daiyoukai a sense of peace. Said peace gave him rage, and what better was to feel slightly better than by kicking his new forced mate awake, not too harsh to send the male flying, but enough to lift him from the futon slightly.
"Ugh!" Inuyasha groaned, being kicked in the side, his body healing from the rough rutting they did just the night before. "Fuck! Sesshomaru! Why'd you kick me?!" He yelled, jumping up, his right hand immediately going to his right side, the one that was kicked.
"You did not wake with the morning light, so I decided to wake you."
"Well you could have done it in a nicer way! Fuuuck, my side." Inuyasha hissed, looking down at his naked self, seeing the bruising around his hips and thighs. A blush was instant, standing steadfast for but a moment, hearing the rushing footsteps of a worried priestess coming there way. In an instant, Inuyasha had his futuristic garments flush against his skin as if nothing had transpired the night before. After a heated glare toward Sesshomaru, Inuyasha still pissed that he was rudely awoken, glanced to his left as Kagome burst through the bamboo screen, the entrance to Kaede's hut, her hair a mess and panting as if she ran a mile.
"Inuyasha! Are you ok?!" She all but yelled, looking him up and down, not seeing anything out of place, in fact, he was the very definition of healthy.
Kouga ran in after her, grabbing her arm lightly, knowing his demonic strength would hurt her too much if to much force was used. "Kagome! Dammit! I told you to wait!" He gasped out, looking up at the clothed demons in front of him for the first time. Sesshomaru, instinctually shifted slightly in front of Inuyasha, eyeing the wolf demon, as well as the priestess, down.
"Kouga?" Inuyasha frowned, "What are you doing here?" Tilting his body to the side, Sesshomaru getting in his way, another small glare was sent Sesshomaru's way.
"Eh?" Kouga eloquently expressed, looking at Inuyasha. "What do you mean? I've been here the whole-time mutt-face!"
"Kouga! He doesn't remember! He wasn't exactly conscience last night!" Kagome yelled at the wolf demon, flicking her wrist from his grasp.
Inuyasha stood on the sidelines watching the two with bubbling anger. Sesshomaru glided to the side, turning to stand behind his brother, picking the male up by the back of the pants he wore, lifting him in the air. The elastic band of the fuzzy pajama bottoms giving off a good view of the small of his back, making the Daiyoukai pause before continuing. "Say goodbye Inuyasha, we're leaving."
"Leaving?! Like hell I am!" Inuyasha, caught off guard by the sudden lift as if he were a child, responded with the anger he was slowly storing in his reserves, leading the younger to flail until the older released him.
"You are MY mate now Inuyasha, and we shall return to the western castle." Sesshomaru growled deeply, Inuyasha's mark on his neck began to glow, the command within Sesshomaru's voice held power over the younger. Inuyasha screamed, it burning hot against his veins. Falling to the floor, his hands went to his neck, applying pressure in an attempt to cease the pain.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, running to her love, kneeling beside the aching boy, looking at the mark permanently etched on his skin. "What happened to you?" She breathed, his shoulder no longer held the disease that ate away at his flesh, now, his skin turned green, red, and blotchy, as if the mark was burning him from inside out. "Stop it Sesshomaru!" She screeched, wanting to touch the mark herself, but was swatted away by the male on the floor.
"It will stop when Inuyasha complies." The older brother breathed out cooly, staring down at Inuyasha, now writhing on the floor.
"Hey mutt-face! You gotta agree! Or you'll pass out!" Kouga rushed toward Kagome, pulling her behind him, only slightly knowing what was happening to the half demon on the floor.
"L-like Augh! Hell I will!" He gasped out, claws digging into his neck, drawing blood. The demons in the area could smell the poison seeping out from the wound and they looked away with disgust, the smell burning their noses, Kagome could see the green substance flowing from Inuyasha's now injured neck.
"Oh Inuyasha…" She cried, holding onto Kouga, her knees feeling weak at watching her best friend suffer.
"Auuuuughhh!" Inuyasha yelled, the burning sensations multiplied. It stung so bad, the younger passed out from the pain. The once glowing skin faded, the veins now a dark green from poison that used to be there. He lay motionless on the floor, sweat lined his brow and chest rose and fell rapidly as he panted in his slumber.
Kagome ran to him, about to kneel to check his wound when Sesshomaru grabbed the back of his bottoms and lifted the now limp body. A cold glare was sent their way, he turned and left the small hut through the gaping hole in the back. Kagome fought against Kouga, the young wolf demon holding her back from attempting to strike at the Lord of the West.
In that instant, the monk and demon slayer ran toward the small commotion. Miroku grabbed at his staff, holding it in front of himself, Sango holding her massive weapon, the Hiraikotsu, behind her frame in a form ready to throw it at any time. Sango's furry companion, Kirara transformed and growled at the Daiyoukai in front of her.
Sesshomaru turned slightly to glare at the new comers that attempted to threaten him.
Kouga jumped in between the two 'groups' "Hold up hold up!" He laughed nervously. "Lord Sesshomaru, won't you allow Inuyasha's companions to join your group?"
Sesshomaru's delicate brow rose slightly. "Why would I do something like that?"
"Whe-well…" Kouga looked to the group and then to Inuyasha. "D-Don't you think Inuyasha would be a little more cooperative with his companions by his side rather than taking him from them, and him leaving you to get back to them?" Kouga mumbled, trying to get a point out that would persuade the Daiyoukai to allow the humans to accompany him and Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru just looked at the wolf demon, then at the unconscious male over his shoulder. "Very well wolf." He breathed, glancing back to the small group. "We depart at noon." Sesshomaru all but growled, letting Inuyasha fall to the matted floor beneath them. Turning elegantly, he left the village towards the woods to be alone without the stench of humans stinking his nose as well as to gather his own 'companions'.
Kagome positioned Inuyasha to lay on the floor in a more comfortable way than a crumpled mess. A soft sigh escaped her lips, Miroku and Sango rushed to their friends side to watch over him. "Is he ok?" Miroku spoke up first, worry evident in his voice as he stared at the panting male.
"He'll be alright, look," Kagome nodded toward Inuyasha's neck, where the green veins receeded, back into the mark that's pulsating glow also faded. "The poison is going away and his face is getting it's color back." She sighed with relief.
"Kagome..." Sango muttered, looking forward into the younger girls eyes.
"Yeah?"
"These clothes... Look like the clothes you wear, does that mean his clothes are back in your era?" Sango frowned pointing to Inuyasha's slightly dirty clothes.
"Oh, yeah I guess they are. I should probably go get them before Sesshomaru comes back." Kagome rushed up, turning toward Kouga and asking him to give her a ride to the well, He all but agreed, face blushing at the thought of his precious woman's soft skin resting on his back. "Will you look after him for me while I go get his clothes and some other things real quick?"
"Need you even ask?"Miroku smiled to the woman, she grinned back and in a hurry, climbed atop of Kouga's back and in a second they were gone.
Miroku and Sango looked down at their best friend with deep sadness at the prediciment he found himself into. "Why do you think Kouga was so quick to help us monk?" Sango asked, glancing to the male next to her.
"To get in good graces with Lady Kagome I gander, wouldn't you?"
"That does seem to make the most amount of sense," Sango sighed, "What are we going to do?" Petting her friends hair out of his face watching it turn more peaceful as she went.
"Whatever we can for him Sango my dear... Whatever we can."
It was moments later that the two heard a familiar whoosh of the wind and saw the telltale sign of Kouga returning. Miroku stood up just as the two burst through the door, Kagome instantly getting off the wolf demons back and landing gracefully next to her love interest. "Has he woken up at all?"
"Not even a twitch." Miroku frowned shaking his head.
"I brought his clothes, Miroku, Kouga, do you think you could change him?" Kagome smiled sweetly to the two men in the group. Miroku blanched, his face turning a slight pale color, Kouga looked much the same, glancing from Inuyasha to Kagome.
"K-Kagome, I don't think that's such a good idea, with his mate near by." Kouga muttered, Miroku nodding furiously, mainly not wanting to see nor touch a naked male, much less a naked Inuyasha that has razor sharp claws.
"Oh, I see... I'll just keep it near by until he wakes up then." Kagome grinned sadly, tightening her hold on Inuyasha's clothes as if someone was trying to take it from her. She sighed, sitting down near Inuyasha's head, petting his hair absentmindedly. It seemed as if the time flew by, Kagome sitting by Inuyasha the whole time, while the others helped Kaede fix up her hut before they had to leave, that it was then noon. Sesshomaru walked peacefully into the village, you would assume he was just passing by with how graceful he was, and how fluid he strode. A big two headed dragon was trailing behind him, singing was heard, a high-pitched lullaby. The gang stood with sadness in their eyes, except for Kouga.
"Has he awoken yet.?" Sesshomaru's cool voice was heard through the soft lullaby.
"No." Kagome frowned deeper. A slight scowl crossed Sesshomaru's face, The poison from the command I gave him was apparently to strong. The male thought meekly, "We shall leave for the castle at once." The young Daiyoukai turned toward the wolf demon, slightly reluctant to have another male touch what was his, however, he could have more fun attempting to get rid of the wolf's putrid smell later on.
"Wolf, you will carry Inuyasha on your back until he wakes."
"Gah..." Kouga gaped at the young lord in front of him. "You want me to carry him? He's your mate!"
"How dare you assume that Lord Sesshomaru would carry that mongrel!" A very high pitched voice rang through, the annoying little toad thing that always followed the young lord stomped his way closer to the group, pointing it's nasty little finger toward the wolf demon, it's body was shaking in fear and rage.
"What?!" Kouga growled at the toad thing, showing his fangs.
"Eeep!" The coward screeched, instantly he was hiding behind the two headed dragon. A young girl giggled and kicked her legs happily watching the small demon.
"Master Jaken! You're so funny! Hahaha!" She giggled more, closing her eyes with happiness. Sesshomaru turned and started to walk, the two headed dragon, Ah, and Un, follwed behind. Jaken having jumped on the beast to give the young girl a lecture on disrespecting him.
Inuyasha's group looked from each other to the small group that was leaving. Sango grabbed her belongings, Kirara jumped on her shoulder, having come by when she smelled the full Daiyoukai, bringing young Shippo with her, said young fox demon jumped atop Miroku's shoulder, Inuyasha not conscious, so his shoulder was not an option.
"Please Kouga?" Kagome pleaded, using her puppy dog eyes on the full demon that had fallen for her.
"Tsk..." Kouga growled, and reluctantly bent and grabbed the half demon and slung him over his back, giving him a piggyback ride. Kagome smiled, "Thank you Kouga!" She beamed and followed after the rest of the group, Kouga being last.
"Man... You owe me when you wake up mutt." Kouga muttered under his breath to the half demon resting on his back.
Time had passed, it was far past noon, the sun was setting and the group was staggering, being tired after a long time of walking. Inuyasha hadn't woken up still, resting on Kouga's back. Sesshomaru continued to look back at the weakened half demon. Kouga growling under his breath at having to carry the bag of meat and bones that seemed to get heavier and heavier as they traveled, still not waking even though they had encoutered many demons wanting a piece of the humans they traveled with, as well as the half demon. Kouga had to join in on some of the fights, lesser demons traveling in hoards and often times sneaking up on unsuspecting travelers. Inuyasha was jostled and sometimes left to sit on a nearby tree while the others fought, Kirara standing by as his protecter, having a strong connection to her dog friend.
All of Inuyasha's group became worried halfway through their journey, with Inuyasha still snoozing on the wolf demon behind them, normally he would have woken a long time ago, not liking to be carried. Sango and Miroku whispered in front of them, Kagome close enough to join in on the speculations. Sesshomaru, hearing these whisperings of Inuyasha and that they grew tired, decided to be nice for once and allow them to rest for the night. Not having a two headed dragon that could go on for days, having been used to walking for long distances, meant that others would indeed need a break. Having their fighting skills weakened because they were tired just wouldn't suffice for the demon lord.
"We will stop here for the night. Rin, gather firewood." Lord Sesshomaru commanded.
"Yes my Lord!" The little girl scampered off to find kindling, Shippo trailing after her when commanded by his adoptive mother Kagome to make sure the young child would have some type of prtection. The rest of the group began their nightly routines.
Kouga let out a long sigh, exagerating the strain that was on his back and shoulders, placed Inuyasha by a large enough tree that would hold him up properly. Kagome came by, holding a wash clothe and placing it on Inuyasha's forehead. She sighed, and began to help the others with camp. Jaken watched on the sidelines as he always did, Miroku and Sango gathering rocks for the firewood, to make sure no trees caught aflame, a little trick Kagome told them about. Kagome rummaged through her bag for water and snacks everyone could munch on until dinner could be caught.
"Has the hanyou still not awoke yet?" A soothingly cold voice breezed through the now set up camp, startling the humans.
"No, it doesn't seem like he's hurt or anything, I don't know why he isn't waking up.." Kagome frowned, touching Inuyasha's forhead once again. They heard rustling in the bushes, and out came Kouga with a boar attached to his lips.
"I caught us some food, Kagome, you can cook half of this for you and your friends, Sesshomaru and I can eat this raw." He smiled, using his claws to cut away and the fresh and getting to the tender insides.
"Oh! Thank you Kouga!" Kagome smiled brightly.'
"Yes, thank you Kouga." Sango followed ing the warmly display to thank the wolf demon.
"I didn't even know you left!" Miroku chimmed in, a smirk on his face, greatful to be getting a full belly this night, yet not missing a chance to tease the male.
Kouga blanched, and frowned at the monk. "Well! Maybe I won't let you have some then housin!"
"Aaah, I'm sorry Kouga!" Miroku cried, wanting to have a nice full belly for the long ride the next day.
"He's only kidding Miroku, of course you'll be eating!" Kagome smiled, poking at the flames to get them roaring again, having put some fresh logs on the fire to heat it up for the meat.
"Praise be to budda, you are a saint my dear Kagome." The monk placed his hands in a prayer sigh, nodding toward her and sending a small prayer her way for good fortune. The young priestess just giggled and the big group talked amongst themselves. Shippo and Rin played in the trees and clearing they resided in, getting their energy out. It was then that Sesshomaru stepped out from the shadows and stood next to the sleeping form of Inuyasha. All conversations died down a bit, looking at the two, trying to gauge what the young Lord would do next.
"Inuyasha..." He began, staring his cold golden eyes down at the silver locks of his mate and half brother. "Wake up Inuyasha and eat."
The group froze, and stared at the young half demon. Instantly, he began to stir, and his eyes opened. Gasps were heard from the females, a quizzical look from Miroku and an angry glare sent Sesshomaru's way from Kouga. "You could have just told him to wake up?! And he would have woken up?!" Kouga halfheartedly yelled toward Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.
"Wha-..." Inuyasha groaned, his hand rising to wipe at his face, feeling as if he were still tired and weak. "What happened?" He asked, searching the group's faces for answers.
"You wouldn't wake up Inuyasha, we were so worried about you!" Kagome smiled with unshed tears in her eyes that he was alright, bringing him some of the cooked meat, for-going everyone else to feed her loved one.
"I was asleep for this long?" He asked, looking up toward the darkened sky and it's starlit brilliance. Everyone nodded, Kagome kneeling down and handing him some food. "You should eat Inuyasha, you haven't eaten all day."
"Uhm... Yeah sure, ok.." He said glancing toward Sesshomaru, his anger bubbling to the surface each glance he stole. He didn't want to go to the western castle, he didn't want to live with the bastard that tried to kill him multiple times, he didn't want to be mated to him forever, he wanted to be with Kagome, he wanted a peaceful life. But thanks to his asshole of a brother, he was thrown head first into the firey pits of hell.
Once he was chewing his food, fairly slowly from his usual noisey habit, Sesshomaru grabbed his own portion of the raw food, and began to eat as well, sitting far away from the rest of the group. With the speed they were going, getting to the castle was going to take quite a while, especially with demons trying to attack the group because of the humans scent. Sesshomaru sighed faintly, no one hearing the sigh as he stared up into the sky and the stars.
After some time, the group had eaten, everyone full and a comfortable silence embraced them all. Soon the children were snoozing away, curled up against each other next to Ah, and Un. The others following their example, the only ones still awake were Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru not needing to sleep every night like others, and Inuyasha because he didn't trust the older at all.
Time passed and nothing happened, until the moon was high, and the moons light casted dancing shadows upon the group. Sesshomaru stood, "Come Inuyasha." He commanded the younger to follow.
"Like hell I'm going anywhere with you Sesshomaru." Inuyasha growled lowly back, glancing toward his friends, some shifting after his growl.
"I am your alpha Inuyasha, and you will come when commanded of you." He growled, trying to force his authorities upon the younger. The familiar pain and hissing of burning flesh echoed in the silent night. Inuyasha held in his cries of pain, hand immediately clawing into his neck, trying to get the poison to flow from the open wounds instead of flowing through his veins to his heart. Sesshomaru smirked at the youngers pain, seeking pleasure in it. Turning, he knew the younger would follow, the pain becoming to great, for the command weighing down on his very soul.
Inuyasha could feel the weight of his alpha's command, with each step he took, it was as if a gong rang in his head. It became too much, he shot up from his resting place and ran toward his brother. Relief washed over him, the pain gone and his mind was at ease, for now. His heart thumped in his chest, hoping it wouldn't be to loud for the older male to hear, fear wracking through the confines of his imagination. Glancing toward his older brother every second, his breath coming out in soft pants that he could only hope Sesshomaru couldn't hear.
His heart stopped when in a flash of a second, Sesshomaru was facing him, staring every which way at his face, making him look up and then down and side to side before he saw trees, Sesshomaru spinning him around and checking his backside out.
Sesshomaru sighed slightly, feeling much better that he knew Inuyasha was in no danger, and sleeping all day hadn't done anything to him. However, the nagging feeling of actually being worried for him made the Daiyoukai sick to his stomach. So, to relieve such start of useless feelings, he did all the he new of. Clenching onto Inuyasha's sash that was tied around his body, pulling him close to his body, Inuyasha's back flush against Sesshomaru's hard chest.
"Oof!" Inuyasha gasped, not expecting the sudden pull and sudden lack of breath.
"Inuyasha..." Sesshomaru breathed, more like an acidic hiss into the youngers sensitive dog ears. They flattened at the tone.
"You stink." He breathed again, fist hardening on the sash, before it loosened and wrapped around Inuyasha's torso grabbing onto the bow holding everything together. "I believe it's time... For a punishment." Sesshomaru grinned, his canines glistening in the moonlight, Inuyasha went rigid in the olders grasp, heart that was already stopped practically died, and all the blood rushed away, leaving a pale half demon behind.
And for the first time in Inuyasha's existance, he shakingly muttered the one word he thought he would never utter in front of his brother.
"... Please... No..."
A/N: Alright, so sorry for the delay in bringing you a new chapter! My new laptop broke again, and I don't exactly have $600+ to spend to fix it, again. So, until my new desktop gets Microsoft word, I'm using my first laptop to write, and it will take some time because it's also on the faulty side of things.
So here are the reviews for chapter 6, I know there were more new reviews, for like, before chapters, but I wanted to do it mainly for the previous chapter.
yaoiluvur: I knew it was poison! I thought it was accidental poisoning. Lol.
Yay, more smut, the healing kind, niiiice. I wonder if kagome heard the howl of pleasure. I kinda wish she does (evil giggle). Not much of a kagome fan in cannon or fanfictions. So yeah.
Cant wait to read what happens the morning after. Gonna be drama~
A/N: : ) I didn't exactly know where I was taking this story, but I'm liking it more as it goes on, and the poison is pretty legit.
I'm also not a Kagome fan, though I didn't want to take her out of the pure image for this story.
sherryfanfic1999: I was wondering if Inuyasha returned Kagome's love. Even if Inuyasha tried, Sesshomaru would have still come for Inuyasha, wouldn't he? It's a demon thing? So what Kagome gonna do now? I can't see that stopping her from trying to get Inuyasha from Sesshomaru. Can Inuyasha even give her Children to begin with? He act as though he knew this was going to happen anyways. This is This Sesshomaru. Kagome don't have anything on him. She can't protect Inuyasha now that he is not an Alpha anymore! More demons will hunt him to rut with him right? If Inuyasha is no longer the pack's Alpha leader, doesn't that responsibility fall to Sesshomaru, the new Alpha, and make them his pack and protect them, now that Inuyasha is Sesshomaru's mate and property? And is Sesshomaru Inuyasha's mate and property also? Does Inuyasha have any power FROM Sesshomaru? And does Inuyasha have any power OVER Sesshomaru being his mate? I really enjoyed this chapter. The love scene is great. Not to to easy, not to hard. Thanks! XD Sesshomaru stroking himself gave for an imagination overdrive!*drooling* XP
A/N: Inuyasha, in my story, does kind of have a cruch on Kagome, and yes his brother would have come for him, it is a demon thing, but more on the lines of repopulating the world with the strongest of demons. And well I haven't thought of powers all that well yet, things are still developing and honestly both of us will see what will happen.
Sachiko Harada: Loved this chapter! I do not understand why demons like tearing clothes during sex. When its consent they tear the clothes off. I know when its not its sort of understandable, they want to get down to business quick but some people can't afford clothes all the time. Like come one be considerate. Not everyone was born into royalty. And I has a question. With Inuyasha being Sesshomaru mate I wonder if Kagome will stick around to help Inuyasha ,with being a woman and having pups, or will Koga take her as a mate? I wonder if Inuyasha approves of that. So many questions! -goes senile-
A/N: Well, Sesshomaru knows that the fire rat will mend itself, and when he was about to tear into the futuristic clothes, he didn't care because they weren't Inuyasha's clothes, he could smell the scent of another on them, and thus, wanted to rip them off of him Immediately.
And well, you'll have to continue reading to find out : 3
Fan: ooooh i hope things turn out okay for inu! can't wait for more!
A/N: Things turn out alright I guess xDD
arifacandlelight: Inuyasha accept your fate now.. Lol.. Need more of this. Thanks for writing.
A/N: No prob! I wish I could write more, but I have a job now and I run a twitch account I try to stream every day with my fiancee, and so we tend to be a little busy, especially around the Holiday Seasons.
Wolf'sVine: I wonder what Sesshomaru is thinking when he looks down at Inuyasha's sleeping face? Poor Inuyasha, just got his choice of mate taken from him. I wonder if Sesshomaru would have chosen someone else if he and Inuyasha weren't basically the last inu youkai? I'm looking forward to the next chapter cuz this fic is pretty dang interesting. I'm curious to see if Inuyasha and Sesshomaru will work to bond with each other or if they will keep being so hostile to each other. I'm seriously wanting to know.
A/N: Well, I guess a sense of peace now that he has a mate, and emotions he didn't know existed are coming to the surface, but with peace and happy emotions, come negative emotions.
14: Love it!
A/N: I'm glad you like it so much!
Wolferret: wow amazing. what happens next?
A/N: Hopefully what I wrote was able to satisy your cravings.
Guest: PLEASE UPDATE THIS STORY AGAIN LOL I LOVE IT
A/N: Here you go!
Wild girl: Hi just wanted to let you know that I really like your story and hope you are
A/N: Oh well thank you, granted I don't know what the rest of the sentence was, but yeah : D
EvilAngelofHeavenandHell: And it was at this moment they thought: Well if you can't sleep Sesshomasama! Just bang him while he's asleep. Not like you haven't before! lol
I really do love this story. There was actual thought, effort, and creativity put in to this. Something hard to find these days. I just wanna read some! Please continue, I will add this to my favs! You are doing a great job better than my shitty ones. I can never make a SessInu ff 1/10 as good as you, can't even scratch the surface. Thank you.
A/N: xDD I love Sesshomaru, lol, and I'm super glad you enjoy my story!
I'm sure you write stories just fine! I'll have to check them out when I have enough time.
IreneHime: wow this is really good, and boy do I want to see what the others reactions will be once the morning come.
A/N: Thank you, and I know it isn't as dramatic as I'd like it to be, but with my schedule, if I tried to make things more complicated I wouldn't upload my story for years! xD
Alright, there are the reviews for chapter 6! Thank you so much for everyone who reads my story! I apologize for the late update, I hope to get a better schedule for writing, gaming, and drawing with my work schedule.
Please review and let me know what you thought, what you think I could improve on, and overall anything you would like to see in the future, I might just add it to my story if I think it will fit in with the story line! I will of course credit the person's comment that I read in the Author Notes, and give a warm shout out!
Happy Reading!
