(Sesshomaru's POV)
"Damn it!" The young Yakuza lord curses again when he is cut off by another asshole on the road. Getting to Akago's district was proving to be more of a problem than he had originally hoped for. He should have known better. It is ten thirty on New Year's Eve. There are a bunch of drunken fools on the roads, trying to make last minute parties or trying to find somewhere significant to bring in the New Year. The skin over his knuckles turns white as he grips the steering wheel for all he is worth. Not only can he hear the obnoxious siren behind him, but he can also see the red and blue lights flashing in his rearview, signifying that an officer is indeed trying to pull him over. He thinks for a second before deciding that trying to outrun the cretin would waste more time than just stopping and dealing with the situation. He pulls over to the side of the highway and reaches into the glove box to retrieve his spare silver glock. As the stumpy beer bellied man approaches, he tucks the weapon into his belt carefully and honks his horn impatiently to signal for the man to hurry the hell up. "Hurry up I do not have the time to waste with you."
"Ohoho?" The fat hairy man leans in the window and gives him a once over. He apparently does not recognize the infamous Yakuza member at first glance. "I can see that boy. Do you realize you were doing 140mph in a 65 just now?"
"Of course, I realize fuckwit."
"Then you realize—"
"Shut the hell up and get out of my face. I am not paying any ticket either so do not issue me one."
"Sir! I'm going to need to see some license and registration!"
"Do you know who I…actually yes officer. Here." Any other time the lord would have smirked at the way the cop's eyes widen in horror after glimpsing his ID, but he has more pressing matters on his mind.
"S-S-S-Sesho-shomaru-sama! P-Please accept my humblest apologies! I had no idea—" He does not even humor the man and harshly snatches his ID back before slamming his foot on the gas. He makes sure to run over the guy's foot as he speeds away and is pretty satisfied with the man's howl of pain in the distance. His amusement, however, is short lived when his mind wonders back to a certain little look alike. Surely Akago is already home by now. Could he have already…no, he refuses to let his thoughts go any further. Ten more minutes tick by painfully slow before he can finally exit off the highway and head to Akago's Estate. It takes another five minutes to reach the familiar enough mansion. His patience is all but gone when the brat's security guards stop him at the gate.
"Good evening Sesshomaru-sama." One of the two stoned face men bows rigidly before skipping to the point. "Do you have business with Akago-sama tonight? An appointment?"
"No but I do now."
"Forgive us but, Master Akago put me under strict instructions to not allow anyone without—"
"Do you want to die tonight?" He practically growls at the older man. He and his partner make brief eye-contact before Sesshomaru's highly trained senses pick up on his sudden shift in position. Click! The sound of the young lord's silver pistol cocking back rings loudly in their ears as the man stares down the barrel in shock. "I don't think so." The hand that was reaching for the security gun in his belt drops dejectedly as the man's partner hurries over to open the gate and most likely warn their lord. "Next time don't waste my time." BANG!
"AAAAAARGH!" Blood spills from the man's leg as Sesshomaru's bullet lodges into his kneecap. The car speeds past the men urgently and when the teen finally pulls into the driveway he does not bother turning the limo off before swinging the door open. He takes the steps two at a time to Akago's lilac castle-like home. By the time he reaches the door, he already has his gun reloaded and the other one still securely in his belt.
He does not get a chance to knock before the door is already being swung open. "You must leave at once Sesshomaru-sama." The man who is obviously a butler sneers down at him arrogantly. "Akago-sama is busy and does not wish to be bothered."
"I could not care less. If you do not get out of This Sesshomaru's way, then I will not hesitate to kill you where you stand."
"I am afraid I cannot do that."
"Hn? So, you do have a death wish." The color drains from the servant's face as the cool metal of his gun connects with his forehead. Amid pulling the trigger an annoyingly high and childish voice draws his attention.
"Now, now don't go and make a mess just because you're throwing a tantrum. Do you know how hard it is to get blood out of white carpet Sesshomaru-senpai? Gee, is it not enough that you injured one of my employees and barged into my home? So blatantly disrespectful."
"Akago…" He cannot help but notice the younger teen's obvious boner bulging in his silk robe. Inuyasha…
"Follow me since whatever you need to talk about is so god damned important." The younger teen's voice is lined with poorly hidden anger and irritation. Sesshomaru's eyes narrow dangerously as he withdraws his weapon and follows the object of his disgust into the well decorated violet sitting room. Once they are inside Akago turns and faces him with unmistakable rage. "What the hell do you want? Have you lost your fucking mind?"
"Hn, Have I broken your façade Akago?" The boy's voice is no longer bubbly and childish and has instead taken on his real low velvety tone.
"Don't toy with me. Why are you here?"
"I have changed my mind; you cannot have the boy."
"What?" This seems to genuinely take him aback. "And why not?"
"The why does not matter. I have come to collect him and as soon as you return him I will be on my way."
"I thought you wanted my cooperation in overthrowing my uncle!"
"I do but not like this. I'll give you anything else you want."
"Hehehehehe~" And just like that the phony voice is back. Sesshomaru's eyebrow twitches as the boy smiles at him in maniacal amusement. "You are so full of yourself Sesshomaru-senpai. It's cute really."
"Cute?!" He growls out clenching his fist to avoid pulling a gun on a "fellow" Yakuza leader.
"I don't want anything from you. There is nothing else you can offer me that I could possibly want. I'm keeping the boy—"
"No, the fuck you're not."
"Oh really? What are you going to do if I don't give him back? Kill me?"
"DON'T!" His hand grips the front of Akago's robe before he slams him into the wall. A few paintings fall off the wall but the younger only leers at the man. "Fuck with me."
"My my what a temper. And you speak of breaking my façade."
"Where is he?" The question is more like a demand and after an almost minute long stare down Akago's smile finally falters. He brushes away Sesshomaru's hands and glares into his intense gold orbs.
"He is on the third story…hm in my bedroom." His grin returns when he sees the fire in the older teen's eyes. Sesshomaru turns to bolt out the door, but Akago speaks again. "But let me tell you this. If you leave here tonight with that child, there is no guarantee that I'll keep my mouth shut about this to my dear oji-sama." He can see the silver-haired man's jaw tense but the rest of his face remains blank. Sesshomaru can hear his repugnant giggling as he flees the room and up the stairs. First story…second story…third! He cannot describe the pounding in his heart as he searches for which room could belong to Akago. After two failed attempts he can practically feel his heart thumping in his throat. He has to be alright. They did not have enough time to do anything…right? After barging into another room to find it empty, he resorts to calling out the boy's name. "Inuyasha…Inuyasha!" Why isn't the fool answering? "INUYASHA!"
"O-Oniisan?" Sesshomaru freezes in his tracks when a very faint voice reaches him from down the hall.
"…Inuyasha?"
"...I'm over here." Within seconds Sesshomaru is bursting through another door but this time instead of being met with emptiness he is met with huge honey puppy dog eyes. Inuyasha is sitting on his knees, in the middle of the bed sporting a short red kimono which is open to expose his chest. His eyes are wet from obvious tears still evident in his big eyes. "Onii—uh I m-mean Sesshomaru-sama."
"…Inuyasha…"
"Huh?"
"Are you…" He is at a loss for words. Akago could have done absolutely anything to him, and it is all his fault. He does not even want to ask because of the countless possibilities.
"S-Sesshomaru-sama, you're taking m-me home, right? I still get to stay with you?"
"…Hai." His expression softens when the boy suddenly bursts into tears. "What's all this? I told you about crying for no good reason."
"I-I'm sorry! I t-t-thought you w-weren't c-coming t-to get m-me." He watches as the kid rubs at his eyes with the back of his hands in an attempt to stop the onslaught of tears.
"Hn...you're hopeless." Inuyasha looks up in time to catch his brother's half smile before he is being pulled into the older sibling. Sesshomaru keeps a hand on top of the child's head as he bawls into his shirt. He allows his head to rest on top of the younger's and closes his eyes as the small body trembles against him. After a few minutes he notices that he has become quiet and glances down at him to find the little look alike fast asleep. "Cried yourself to sleep? Hmpt, so hopeless." He slips his arm under his knees carefully and wraps the other arm around his small shoulders before lifting him up. He makes his way down the stairs with Inuyasha in his arms and pauses when he is met with Akago's curious stare at the door.
"So, you are prepared to face your sudden death for this kid?"
"…" He offers no response and stalks pass the shorter male as if he never opened his mouth.
"How pathetic."
"We will just see whose death is sudden now, won't we?" He catches sight of Akago's glare and smirks before making his way down the stairs and back to his limo. "We shall indeed…"
(Inuyasha's POV)
[flashback]
"Why don't you play in here while Akago-niichan takes care of a few things, ne?"
"Mm." He nods at the weird guy and watches as he leaves the room, closing the door behind him. When he turns around his eyes light up like a Christmas tree. There are two fluffy white kittens playing with a ball of yarn on the other side of the room. The room also has a pool table, bean bags, a few arcade games, board games, rabbits, hamsters, a TV, video games, snack bar, and a bunch of toys. "Whoooaaaa cool!"
"Hey, are you new or something?"
His eyes frantically search for the source of the question in the dimly lit room before a light abruptly flicks on. His eyes adjust quickly, and he can see a boy around his age leaning against the pool table. The boy has long dark brown hair pinned up in a ponytail and narrow light blue eyes. His skin is tanner than his own and he has on a short blue traditional kimono which matches his eyes. "Who are you?"
"Hey, I asked you something first kid."
"Kid?!" Where does this guy get off! "I'm almost ten years old teme!"
"Huh, you gotta' be joking, why are you so short? I thought you were like six. Eight at best."
Oh, he definitely does not like this guy. "My mom says—said I'm average height for my age!"
"Tsk, what a lie. Anyway, what's your name Mr. Average Height for My Age?"
"…Inuyasha." He grumbles grudgingly. Although the boy already irritates him beyond belief, he cannot help but try to get along. He has not seen another kid his age in weeks. "Yours?"
"Koga, nice to meet you Inuyasha."
"Mm." He hums and nods in agreement. Even though he wants to make friends he is much more interested in the kitties, so he walks past the boy and sits near them. He smiles when they purr under his touch, and he hardly notices when Koga crouches down next to him.
"What ten-year-old boy gets all happy playing with kittens?"
"Shaddup, will yah'?"
His scowl lightens up when the older boy chuckles. "Okay well what's your story anyway? How did you become part of Akago-niichan's collection?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Hmm? I mean how'd you get here. I was sold to Akago for a loaf of bread three years ago when I was nine. My parents were really desperate, yah' know? I've been here ever since. I was lucky enough to not be put up in the market though. If you want the same, then I'd suggest you try your best to please him."
"What…are you saying? I was at a New Year Eve's party with my aniki, and he told Akago that it was okay if I came over to play." His parents sold him for some bread? How horrible!
"Hmm? Well, I'm pretty sure you've been tricked buddy. You've most likely been sold by your aniki without you knowing it. Akago-niichan does not have people over just to play."
"What?! You're wrong! Sesshomaru-sama is going to come get me soon."
"Sorry kid, you've been tricked."
"No Shaddup'!"
"Hey, it's not my fault." He shrugs casually. "Don't worry it's not bad living here. Akago-niichan lets us do whatever we want and there are other kids and teens here too. You can meet them and become friends. I'll help you. I'm pretty sure you're the youngest now though."
"That's impossible!" He refuses to believe this. "You can't sell people!"
"He's a human-trafficker, that's what he does for a living." Thoughts of his early morning conversation with Rin come to mind. She did say that Sesshomaru is part of the Yakuza! "We are just his personal collection. We have to pleasure him, entertain him, and do anything else he wants us to do."
"What do you mean?"
"Well…" He watches him in awe as the pre-teen mulls it over in his mind indifferently. "If you can sing, he might make you put on a show for him or put on a piano recital or something. We are like his 'precious little dolls'. He even has us dressed up sometimes. The most important thing is how we pleasure him at night though."
"…huh?"
"Oh Kami, you are a kid! I mean sex of course!"
"NANI?"
"Or sometimes you just have to suck him off—"
"NANI?!" He can feel his face heat up. He must be red as a cherry. "W-W-What are you saying?! Only married adults are supposed to do those types of things." According to his father who just had "the talk" with him a few months ago.
"Hahahaha, well I see why Akago-niichan picked you. So naively cute."
"I'm not cute and I'm not staying here! Sesshomaru-sama is coming to get me."
"No, he's not." He responds bluntly. Before he could retort the door suddenly opens and a butler walks in with a red kimono in his hands.
"Master Akago wishes for you to wear this."
"Huh." He scowls as the man places it in his hands. "Why is it so short?!" He pouts, glaring at the offending article of clothing.
"Calm down, just wear it. It's not so bad…I mean I have one too, see?"
"…" He cannot help but wonder what kind of loony bin he has landed himself in as he slips his clothes off to adorn the ridiculously skimpy kimono.
"Good now follow me. Master Akago wishes to see you in his quarters." The butler announces tediously.
"No! I want to go home!"
"I am sorry to say that you will not be going home. You are here to pleasure my lord. Your purpose in life is now—"
"I AM NOT DOING ANY OF THAT NASTY STUFF!" The butler cringes at his loud outburst but Koga's face becomes deathly serious. Inuyasha glares at his new frenemy as he approaches but frowns when he continues to stare at him intensely.
"You are."
"No—"
"Urasai!"
"…"
"Look kid, I like you, so heed my words. You must do everything he asks you to do with no complaint or else your life is over. He may seem nice and everything, but he will not hesitate to pull out a gun and shoot you in the head. I've seen it before." Inuyasha gulps as the boy presses two fingers to his forehead and "shoots" him to emphasize his point. "So don't mess around. He's young but He is a Yakuza boss too, yah' know?"
"…" He is trembling from head to toe from pure fear. How is he supposed to get out of this without being killed?
"So do your best!" He smiles brightly whilst giving him a small push out the door. The butler puts a hand on his shoulder and guides him upstairs. The hand was more to get the petrified little boy moving rather than to provide any sympathy. Inuyasha's eyes widen when they come to a stop in front of two huge wooden double doors at the end of the hall on the second floor. After a quick knock from the butler and after Akago gives the okay, the man opens the door, pushes Inuyasha in, bows and takes his leave. Akago is sitting on top of the biggest bed Inuyasha has ever seen in his life. The sheets are lilac silk which matches the young teen's silk robes.
"U-Um Akago-sama?"
"Yes sweet-cheeks~?"
"When is Sesshomaru-sama, coming to get m-me?"
"Oh, forget about him." He rolls his eyes dismissively. "Come here." Remembering Koga's advice, he slowly steps forward until he is close enough for Akago to just reach out and pull him the rest of the way. His body tenses up when he is pulled in between his legs. The Yakuza lord wraps his arms around his tiny waist before purring in his ear, "Anyway wouldn't you rather stay here with Akago-niichan? I know Sesshomaru can't be a nice big brother to you."
"Well, no…but…"
"Exactly. I will give you whatever your little heart desires. All you have to do is make me happy." Inuyasha face reddens when he notices the teen's wink.
"But…he's still my brother…and I w-want to g-go back to h-him…"
"No can do, gomenasai."
"Why not?"
"He doesn't want you."
"Huh?!"
"He came to me and asked if I would take you away and I agreed because I couldn't see why someone would get rid of something so precious."
"He wanted…to get rid of…me?"
"Mhm~" His face gets buried in the elder's neck when he pulls him closer to his body. "He said if you don't take him then I'll just kill him. That's what we were talking about when we left you and Kagura at the party."
"B-But…" His eyes water up despite his best efforts. "He said…I could stay with him f-forever…"
"He's a dirty liar, isn't he?" His only response is a heavy sob and Akago tilts his chin up to wipe away his tears. He has a very sympathetic look on his face as though he truly cares about the child's pain. "Aw it's okay. Niichan will take care of you." Inuyasha looks up to see Akago's wide grin. He does nothing when the Yakuza lord lowers his head to capture his lips. He is completely slack when he feels the teen's tongue slip into his non-responsive mouth. All he can think about is his brother as the young teen's hand roam all over his body. Why would he break his promise? Did he really want to get rid of him? Why does he hate him so much?! Maybe…he is just not meant to have a family…While he was lost in thought; he hardly realized that he had been pushed down on his knees between the elder's legs. Akago picks up his little hand and places it on his crotch. When the confused boy tries to pull it back his grip tightens and forces him to stay. With his hand under the purple boy's his hand starts to move in a circular motion. "Here rub like this." He can feel something hard which can only be one thing.
"I-I don't—"
"Ssh, you don't want to get abandoned again, do you?"
"Mm mm." He shakes his head slowly and Akago smirks at him.
"Then do as I say." The Yakuza teen does not remove his own hand until the silver haired boy begins to rub on his own. "Good boy." Inuyasha blushes when the older boy slips off his own robe, revealing his long sex. "Grab it." He hesitates for a moment but when the man clears his throat, he grabs it with both hands. "Now go up and down like this." The Yakuza lord demonstrates by again putting his hand over the younger's and stroking up and down. "Goood." He seems very pleased when Inuyasha does as told. Still, the only thing on the Inuyasha's mind is will he ever see Sesshomaru again? Does he know that he will be doing things like this? Is this supposed to be okay? Akago's voice brings him out of his thoughts after a few short minutes. "Now stick your tongue out…yes like that, now lick it…yes go on." His eyes shut tightly as he licks the tip of the leaking hard appendage. He frowns at the taste. Salty. "Keep going." What choice does he have? He continues to lick on the teen's manhood despite his obvious repulsion. He can hear Akago's heavy breathing which only serves to intensify his displeasure.
"Oh yess, I can tell you're going to be a good one. Yeah, do it all over, don't be shy. Mmm~…Yes now open your mouth and su—" They are interrupted by Akago's cellphone much to the boy's relief. "What?! Didn't I tell you not to...wait he's what? Hmm…I'll be right there. No don't call my oji-sama." Click! "Sit tight sweet-cheeks." Akago sighs as he lifts the dazed silver boy and places him on the bed. "Be right back." He watches him disappear and hangs his head down in shame. What would his mother think of him? His father? Surely, they would be ashamed of him! And Sesshomaru…how could he…His eyes tear up with grief, but he refuses to do anymore crying. Nobody wants him, he will just have to face it…no one but Akago. Maybe he will get used to this like Koga? And he did say he could make friends! He should be happy! Sesshomaru was horrible, the worst in fact. He beat him, and starved him, and confined him to his room, and he does not even want to be his brother! It's all for the best!...Is what he would like to say…in all honestly, he really likes Sesshomaru for some reason. Ever since Christmas day and since he talked to Miss Kagura in the craft shop. He really started to think that he could get through to his brother's heart. Miss Kagura said that he needed him but…she was wrong. Or maybe it is his own fault? Maybe he should stop blaming everyone else! It's his fault that Sesshomaru does not want him. He was not able to get through to his heart because he is useless and pathetic! And now because of that he will never see Rin-chan, Myoga-jiji, Kaede-baba, Miss Kagura, or even dumb creepy old Jaken again! And worst of all he will never get to see his brother…he feels as if that is what hurts the most…
"INUYASHA?!"
Huh. "O-Oniisan?"
"…Inuyasha?"
Is he dreaming? Did he fall asleep waiting for Akago? "…I'm over here." Within seconds his suspicions are proven wrong when his aniki rushes into the room panting and with a worried look on his face. "Onii—uh I m-mean Sesshomaru-sama."
"…Inuyasha…" He is really here…
"Huh?"
"Are you…" Why does he look so pained…is he here to say good-bye?!
"S-Sesshomaru-sama, you're taking m-me home right? I still get to stay with you?" Please, please, please don't leave!
"…Hai…What's all this? I told you about crying."
"I-I'm sorry! I t-t-thought you w-weren't c-coming t-to get m-me."
"Hn…..you're hopeless." He catches a glimpse of his brother's half smile before he is being pulled into the older sibling. He can feel his aniki's surprisingly soothing hand stroking his hair. He cannot fight the tears as he is engulfed by his warmth and his heartbeat lulls him into a still calmness. He really came for him.
