OK i just one to point out that Inuyasha is very attached to Naraku because of Stockholm syndrome. He has spent his whole life with Naraku and he dosnt feel complete if the spider is not with him but Inuyasha loves Sesshoumaru verry much but he also has strong feelings for Naraku.

Sesshoumaaru stood in his arm in-front of the stockades. The man in them had still not notice him. The general took the time to observe him. His skin was starting to turn pink from sun burn. He had long dark raven hair and a tall figure. He wasn't very muscular but that would change after some hard work.

"Prisoner." he said. The man looked up. This let Sesshoumaru get a look at his face. He was a handsome man despite the dark rings around his face from lack of sleep but his features were a little feminine. Those long eye lashes and plump lips didn't help him plus his legs were long and smooth like a women.

"You look like a women." Sesshoumaru commented.

Naraku was shocked. Of all the things to say, he say that. "I do not."

"Yes you do." Sesshoumaru even notice the little piecing on the prisoners cat ear. There was no earring but he could see the little hole. Naraku notice his gazed and growled.

"A teenage mistake and besides your the girly one." Naraku looked at his long straighten hair and polished claws. "I wounder how many men you had to sleep with to become a general." He sneered.

Sesshoumaru slapped him hard across the face. The prince felt the hand shape burn form on his face. He had never been hit in the face before. In fact he had never experienced pain before he had met this man.

"You will never talk to be like that again." Sesshoumaru pulled his head up by his hair.

"Did I hit a nerve." he chuckled.

The general pulled back his hand to hit him again. Naraku flinched and closed his eyes waiting for the impact.

Smiling Sesshoumaru lowered his hand. He had learn that sometimes all you needed was the threat of more pain to get a sassy prisoner to behave.

"I'm here to give you a choice. Become my slave or die."

"Some choice." the prince whispered. "OK I'll go with the first one."

"Do you swear to obey and fulfill any order you are told? Do you willingly give all freedom and free will to forever live in servitude? Do you swear to live only to follow your new masters orders?"

Naraku swallowed hard. He would fine away to escape and get revenge for this humiliation."Fine."

"By Inu law by agreeing to these terms you give up any possessions, tittles and rights to your past life."

Sesshoumaru unlocked the stockades and raised the wooden top freeing him. Slowly the prince stood up, his bones cracking as he straighten himself. Red lines covered his wrist and neck from where the wood had rubbed against the skin. Sesshoumaru attached chains around his wrist. He pulled on them making Naraku fallow him.

The general looked at his back. The wounds had been treated. He smiled to himself. Inuyasha could be to kind for his own good sometimes.

"Where are we going?" Naraku asked.

"You will not speak unless spoken too." he replied.

Naraku grumbled to himself but fallowed the man. He was taken to a tent where there was a line of men. Sesshoumaru walked past them to the front.

"Miroku, get out here." He commanded.

There was rumbling and a mess of things clashing together from inside the ten. Out came a man wearing a purple robe and short black hair with purple eyes to match his clothes.

"I wish you wouldn't yell like that. I knocked down somethings because you surprised me." He looked over Naraku. "And who do we have hear. A Spytra alive in your care and by the looks if it he's a blue blood. Now Iv seen everything."

"Never mind who he was. I need you to treat his wounds."

"Alright, I saw what you did to him yesterday. Just lay him belly down on the table and I'll see the damage and from the dry blood in his hair. I figure he has a head injury too." He walked back inside the tent.

Sesshoumaru pushed him forward. Hissing Naraku fallowed Miroku and laid on the wooden table.

Miroku walked up to him. "Now I'm going to touch your back now. Don't worry I won't hurt you." He gently touched the skin around the lashes. Grabbing a wet clothed he carefully washes the remaining blood off. He examine Narakus head. The prince was thankful for the gentle treatment. It was the nicest he's been treated for awhile.

"Well you don't have a concussion but a few cuts on your back need to be stitched." He pulled out a needle and thread."Now this will hurt. I ran out of pain killer so you need to be good and take it like a man."

He felt Sesshoumaru hands on his back holding him down. Now wanting to seem weak he greeted his teeth and waited for the pain. He promised himself he would not cry out. Not in front of them.

The first stitch was horrible, the second made him shake. Lucky Miroku was fast and experienced with stitching. He was finished in less then a minute. The sting from the cream he but on his back felt like nothing after dealing with that needle.

After that he was forced to fallow Sesshoumaru again." Were are we going?"

"A slave dose not talk unless ordered too."

They arrived at what looked like food stand but instead of food they were giving out supplies. Again Sesshoumaru cut to the front of the line.

He tried to ignore the stairs. He must look like a pet being pulled around on a leash.
Sesshoumaru asked the man behind the stand for some clothes that would fit him. The man pulled out a folded shirt and pants. Taking them Sesshoumaru pulled him into the biggest tent he had seen so far.

"Here change." He held out the clothes.

At least he took him somewhere to change and didn't make him undress in public, Naraku thought. He took the clothes from the other. The prince waited for the other to leave so he could change but he never did. He wouldn't even turn around to give him any privacy.

"Hurry up" Sesshoumaru ordered.

Naraku decided to turn around and change quickly. He slipped off his silk pants pajamas. They landed on the floor. Carefully he stepped out of them. The brown plain pants Sesshoumaru had gave him were too long and scratched his skin as he pulled them up. The brown shirt was the same. They were ugly clothes that the common people wore.

Sesshoumaru picked up the silk pants and examined them. Taking both sides of the fabric he pulled them apart till they ripped in half.

"Hey, stop. Those are my pants" Naraku watched he he threw the rest of it in a trash can.

"What are you talking about. You are a slave, a slave dose not own any possessions. They are possessions." He said causally,

Naraku bit his tongue and clenched his fist. He had to control the anger swelling in him. He knew the punishment that would befall a disobedient slave. It would be hard but he had to act like a slave till he found a way to escape. Then he come back with his army and kill them all.

Sesshoumaru was leading him somewhere again. They were back out side and were walking towards some horses. One horse he notice right away. It was a big white steed with a silver handle and saddle. This was no doubt the generals horse.

"AhUn" the general called. The horse raised his head and took three steps closer before calling to his rider. Sesshoumaru patted his snout.

"Sesshoumaru-sama"

Naraku turned to see Inuyasha walking towards them. He was carrying a bucket of water. He put the bucket in front of AhUn so he could drink. Grateful the horse nudge his side so he pet him.

"Good timing Inuyasha, its time to move on." Sesshoumaru tied Naraku's chain to the saddle of the horse.

"This is Inuyasha, you will also be severing him as well. Any command he gives you, you must fallow as if it were an order from me. If it wasn't for him you still be dying in the stockades." Naraku looked over the half-ling. He really had changed a lot. He built was bigger and his ears weren't drooped down like he was use to seeing. There was more color in his skin and his eyes were brighter.

Naraku looked towards Sesshoumaru, it seemed like he was waiting for something.

"Oh" Naraku turned to Inuyasha "Thank you lord Inuyasha for saving my life. I am most grateful for your kindness." He did an elegant bow.

With his head down Naraku smirked. He could play along for a little it, he did like to act.

"Your welcome. Please stand up." Inuyasha was blushing.

Sesshoumaru raised an eye brow at the prisoners sudden change in attitude.

"We should be leaving in an hour. Are you ready Inuyasha?"

"Yes I am, everything is packed in the carriage. The... other prisoner is secure." Inuyasha pulled an apple from his pocket and gave it to the horse.

"Where are we..." Naraku closed his mouth and looked down when he remembered he wasn't suppose to talk unless ordered to.

"We are going home" Inuyasha said friendly.

Naraku knob.

...

Naraku was gasping. His legs were killing him and it felt like he was breathing fire. They had been traveling for hours. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were riding AhUn while Naraku was walking next to the horse. The prince wasn't use to this much fiscal exercise. He could feel his legs shake from underneath him.

"Here" Inuyasha held out a bottle of water.

Naraku turned his head away and ignored his offer. He refused to take pity.

Hours later and the sun was at its hottest. Sweat covered his clothes, it felt so disgusting. He wanted nothing more than a nice soak in his bath tub with a glass of red wine. To bad that fantasy seemed miles away now.

"I cant go on." Naraku fell to the floor. The horse dragged him three feet before the animal stopped.

Looking down at him Sesshoumaru sighed.

"Take him to the carriage." he ordered two of his men.
