I just want to say yes in this story Inuyasha is gullible and a little dumb, but what can u expect, he's never had a real education or any social life as a slave. He is attached to Naraku because that's all he had ever know up till a year ago. He cant tell that Naraku is using him, he's dealing with emotions he never had to deal with before. And this will turn into a threesome, but Naraku wont be happy about it. ;)

Inuyasha walked around his room non stop. Sesshoumaru had business to attend so he was glade he couldn't see him in this state. Guilt was eating away at the poor hanyou's heart. How could he have done such a horrible thing. He didn't even know why he did it.

He had been on his way with pillows and blankets to tell Naraku the good news. That tonight he could escape with his friend using a paddle boat down the river. The paddle boat belonged to some farmers that they pasted no more than half a mile back. They had just left it on the side of the house. If they were careful they could make it and use the river to be far away by morning. Far enough to hide in the any of the towns near by. Sesshoumaru would never find him in time before their presence was know, they would have to retreat before the enemy was upon them.

But than he saw Naraku and that other man curled up together. Kunto, was hugging him and Naraku was leaning over him. They looked so close, so happy. Seeing that caused a painful spike in Inuyasha that he never felt before. The thought of Naraku leaving him and running off with that other man pained his heart. He just couldn't let Naraku leave.

He knows what he did was bad. He feels awful about it, but the thought of Naraku coming with him and Sesshoumaru to their new home filled his stomach with butterflies. It felt wrong to keep such a thing from Sesshoumaru. He was planning on telling his lover the truth but after they had given Kunto the king and taken Naraku home with them. He was sure Sesshoumaru would understand and forgive him and Naraku. After all Naraku was different now. He didn't hurt or abuse him. He was nice and loving now. Some where in the hanyous head he believed the general would like Naraku once they got to know each other. Than they could all live happily.

...

Sesshoumaru was walking around his camp thinking. At dinner he had notice that their new slave Namiko had fresh bruises on his skin. It must have been caused by one of his soldiers. Since he did not give an order for the Spytra to be hurt this was considered an act of rebellion and it would have to be punished. Now the only problem was figuring out who.

The bruises need at lest four hours to form and become that dark and when he went to visit him this morning the raven head was already marked, so it had to have happen during the night. Now he had had Kouga on night shift so if there was a skirmish between the slave and one of his men, his second in command would have told him. So there is only one possibility, Kouga had done it himself.

Sesshoumaru sighed, he would need to have a talk with his second in command.

When morning came, that's exactly what he did. While Inuyasha was practicing riding his own horse he road up to Kouga. Thier horse walked side by side.

"Kouga I would like to have a word with you."

Panic rose in his face. Sesshoumaru could see how nervous he was in his body language.

"I want to talk to you about the prisoner."

Kouga tensed even more, he actually started to sweat.

"I..."

"I know your the one who has been harming him. I saw the bruises. I expected more from you Kouga."

"I'm sorry, it just..." He seemed to calm down a little.

"I know you must have a lot of hate towards the Spytra people for what they did to your parents but what you did went against my wishes."

Kouga gritted his teeth. He didn't like to talk about his parents.

"You have to be punished. Tonight you shall sweep, mop and polish the floor of the ship."

"Yes Sir." The light punishment was surprising to Kouga but he did not argue. He had gotten off easily.

...

By night fall they had passed into the Inu's land. Naraku and Kunto were taken from the carriage and lead onto a boat. It was a large wooden vessel painted red and white and gold. The pair was than pushed into the lowest part of the ship. It was like a cargo hold but dark and wet. Looking up they could see everyone working from the bars.

"I hate ships" Naraku groaned as the vessel started moving.

"I love them, and this might be the last time I'm on one" Kunto whispered.

"Hey, that's right, you know ships, is there anyway out of here?"

Kunto looked around, than shook his head.

Naraku sunk to the floor in depression. "We are really fucked, aren't we?"

"Thinks will work out. They always do."

They were on the boat for hours till they ported. Naraku and Kunto were once again taken from the haul.

Blind folded and bonded Naraku and Kunto were taken away from each other. Naraku was once again put into a carriage. The sound of the horses hives hitting the cobble floor was all he herd as he was taken to an unknown location. It felt like the carriage had traveled for hours. It was impossible to tell time. Naraku couldn't even tell if it was still night.

...

Inuyasha sat in the front of the carriage with Sesshoumaru. He leaned against his fiancés arm over filled with joy. They were on there way home now.

Kunto would be delivered to the king and Naraku was coming with them.

"How far away is it?" Inuyasha asked.

"Pretty far. Thanks to the capture of the prince the king had allowed me an early retirement and a large plot of land. Not to mention the money, he was really grateful to me for helping put this war to an end."

"The war is not over yet though. They still haven't found the kings body and what if Kagura takes the thrown?"

"Yes your right, there are those possibilities. But there is also the possibly they give up. After all they are not like us, we vote our next king after the old one dies. Their rulers were greedy with power. They wanted to keep the power in the same family. That's why they consider their bloodline so precious. The law is that there must always be a royal blood ruler."

"And what will they do now?" Inuyasha asked curiously.

"They will either, change the law, which I doubt. Spytra are very stubborn. Or they will unwillingly submit to us and our rule."

"At least you don't have to fight anymore." Inuyasha whispered.

"I'm glade too." he kissed his hanyou's forehead.

"So where are we going to put Nar.. Namiko?"

"The house had several guess rooms. We will put him in one of them."

"That's nice. It makes me happy he wont die. Thank you for sparing him."

"You have such a big heart Inuyasha. You so forgiving and kind." Sesshoumaru rubbed his ears.

...

It took them the whole night and day traveling and they were still going. Inuyasha had fallen asleep leaning against Sesshoumaru. The general smiled at his pup.

On the next inn he pulled over. The stop woke the sleeping hanyou. "Are we there yet?" he asked yawning.

"No were going to rest here awhile. Its a good place, I've been here before." Sesshoumaru tied the horses to a the post where they could drink from the barrow of water near them.

The general stretched backwards bake his back crake. "Lets get some rest ourselves." Entering the inn Sesshoumauru asked for one room. The inu lady greeted him with a smile. When she looked at Inu she seemed surprised but thankfully she treated him nicely too.

They entered the room, it was a small room with a king size bed and a couch. There was a dresser and the lamp. The rug was clean and soft and the bed was made. The smell of fresh pine tree filled their noses.

"It very cozy, that's why I like it here."

"Its adorable." Inuyasha jumped on the bed. "Its so soft and comfy." He rubbed his head into the pillow.

"And the water comes from a spring near by. Its like a spa when you take a bath."

"Really I'm going to try it." Inuyasha ran into the bathroom.

Chuckling Sesshoumaru walked out the room. It be cruel to let Namiko stay the whole night in the cart, he must be starving. He could sleep on the sofa.

Opening the cart he found the cat asleep laying down. He looked very fragile, over the last few day he hadn't been given much to eat and it was starting to show. Besides the strong muscle built he had, his ribs were showing on his sides.

"Wake up Namiko" he said. He gently shook the other shoulders. Removing the blind folder, he leaned in close to examine the bruises. They were still fresh and would last a few more days. He might have some cream in his bag that would help the cat heal.

Naraku flinch when he saw Sesshoumaru so close.

"Shh, calm down, we have just stopped for the night at a inn. Come on." He held a key in his hand.

"I'm sure you don't want to be dragged in there with chains. So if you promise to behave I'll let you walk in with out them."

"I promise." Naraku whispered.

Sesshoumaru sneered. "Shouldn't you thank me for being so kind."

This caused a glare from Naraku. "Thank you Lord for being so considerate of my feelings." He said through his teeth.

Chuckling he untied him. It was just to fun to mess with the cat.

Sesshoumaru had a hand on Narakus shoulder as they walked in making sure he didn't try to escape. The genral notice all the glares and whispers they were getting. When Inuyasha had walked been it hadn't been as bad. Hanyou's were strange for his land but not hated, plus he looked more Inu than spytra. Namiko couldn't hide his black cat ears, hair, and red eyes. This was why Sesshoumaru had gotten the room before bringing him in. They might have refused him service if he didn't.

The dirty looks didn't go unnoticed by Naraku. Instead of shrinking away he held his head up high and waved his tail more as he walked so everyone could see. They might not know it, but they were in the presence of royalty. He had nothing to be ashamed about. They could send him all the glares they wanted.

When they reached the room Naraku was shocked at how ugly it was. It was clearly a commoners room. Disgusted by the flower patterns on the bed he touched the blanket. The material was low class. He was used to sleeping on silk sheets and pillows filled with swan feathers. This was horrible.

"You sleep on the sofa."

The sofa was even worse. It was an ugly tan and looked a hundred years old.

"I rather sleep on the floor."

"Suit your self."

Inuyasha walked out the bathroom wearing his red pajamas.

"Oh you brought him in. You guys should try the bath. It feels amazing."

Naraku looked at his reflection in the dresser mirror. His left eye was black and his lip swollen.

"MY FACE. My beautiful face. Dame that dog."

"Who Kouga? Oh yea Sesshoumaru already punished him."

"Really? Did he scream?"

"Oh..."

"Yes he did." Sesshoumaru blinked at the hanyou.

Naraku perked up.

They had let him take a bath after Sesshoumaru and had given him a new pair of clothes. These were less ugly than the last. When he came out the bathroom he saw Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru were wearing different clothes.

"Were going to go eat at the buffea." Sesshoumaru informed him.

"Oh would it be too much to ask if you bring me back something? Something small like a orange or apple." Naraku knew a slave wasn't suppose to ask such a thing. They ate when their owners let them. But he hadn't eaten in two days and was starving. He already drank water from the sink because of how thirsty he was.

"Why, your coming with us." Inuyasha grabbed his hand and led him out the door. Sesshoumaru was right behind them.

"Really?" Naraku was surprised. He felt more like a pet they took everywhere than a slave.

To the starving prince the layout of food looked beautiful. His mouth water from the delicious sight. Five times he filled his plate before he was full. Satisfied he laid back and watched the other to eat, ignoring the looks and mean comments he was getting from the people around them.

"I guess it was good." the general smiled.

"Delicious" He purred.

Glade you liked it. On instinct Sesshoumaru rubbed the princes ear thinking it was Inuyasha. When Naraku flinched from the contact. His ear was messaged by powerful but gentle fingers make a shiver go down his back. Realizing his mistake Sesshoumaru pulled away. He cursed himself for being so foolish.

Giggling to himself Inuyasha took another bite of his food. His plan was working.

The rest of the meal was eaten in awkward silence.

...

Naraku slept on the uncomfortable sofa. He twisted and turned unable to fall asleep. You think after sleeping in the floor for a few day this sofa would be heaven, but those nights he fell asleep from exhaustion.

Sitting up he looked around the dark room. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha had fallen asleep hours ago. This was his best chance at escape. He could take the horses and run.

Getting up quietly Naraku made his way to the door. He was in luck, it was unlocked. Sneaking out he walked down the hall ways looking for the exit. His heart almost beating out of his chest.

...

With a sigh the general sat up. Leaving his comfortable spot next to his hanyou he grabbed some chains he had in his bag. He had purposely left Namiko unbonded and left the door open. It was a test to see if he could trust the man. Namiko failed miserably. He would have to be disciplined.

Going outside he saw five men near his carriage. They were shouting and yelling. Looking closer he saw Naraku curled up on the floor. The other men where kicking him.

Walking up to them Sesshoumaru pushed the men away unfazed by their threatening postures.

"Stay out of this." One man told him.

"Namiko come here." he pointed to the spot near his feet.

Naraku dragged himself over to Sesshoumaru hoping for protection. Blood was dripping out the corner of his mouth.

"We caught him trying to steal this carriage." They pointed to Sesshoumaru's carriage. It held the army seal on it.

"He want to steal the weapons or supplies inside. Dame Sptra trash."

"I am Lord Sesshoumaru recently retired Inu general, first rank. This is my carriage and this is my slave. I had asked him to move the horses to another location. He was not stealing." He showed them the royal seal the king had gave him when he was promoted to first rank.

The men straighten up and backed away from them.

"We are so sorry My Lord. We did not know, and we did not mean to damage your property." One said.

Naraku know the word property referred to him.

"We are not use to have soldiers, or..." He looked at Naraku in disgust. " Around these country parts."

Sesshoumau looked down at the injured man. "Can you walk?"

Naraku tried to stand but fell to the ground.

"We will help take him back to his quarters" The men offered. The picked up a struggling Naraku.

"Stay still Namiko. These men are helping you."

Sesshoumaru lead them back to the room where they deposit Naraku on the floor. Inuyasha woke up and nearly screamed from all the men entering the room. Sesshoumaru had to calmed him down.

"We are very sorry lord for interrupting your evening. Please forgive us." They made their way out.

Naraku groaned on the floor. He was in so much pain. Inuyasha rushed to his side.

"What happen?" Inuyasha was panicking. Naraku wasn't moving.

"Inuyasha quickly, put some towles n the bed and get me a bowel of hot water."

Picking up Naraku he placed him in the bed that Inuyasha had covered in towels.

Taking off all the spider clothes he rubbed a rag over his skin removing all the blood. Naraku was hurt pretty bad.

"I cant see" he moaned. His eyes were swollen shut.

"Shhh, don't worry. You'll be find." Inuyasha soothes as he rubbed another rag over the side of his face.

"You shouldn't have tried to escape. People here don't take kindly to Spytra." Sesshoumaru placed a hand over Narakus' stomach. He felt around his rips and chest. The poor prince whimpered every time he touch a bruises.

"Nothing broken, but everything is bruises or swollen." He lifted Naraku up again. "Put fresh towels Inuyasha and get me some bandages"

Inuyasha wasn't surprised Naraku tried to escape but it still hurt him. He was worried that deep inside some part of him was glade Naraku got beat up. Maybe now he wouldn't try it again.

Naraku was wrapped in so many bandages you think he was a mummy. Sesshoumaru pulled out some pills. Putting them into his mouth with a sip of water he pushes his lips against the princes. Naraku couldn't even push him away. His mouth was opened and a tongue pushed the pills down his throat.

Inuyasha had gasped. The scene in front of him was strange. It made his cock twitch. His lover was kissing Naraku, their lips touch and their bodies pressed together.

Pulling away Sesshoumaru whipped his mouth. "He couldn't swallow on his own. Those pills will stop the swelling and relief some of his pain."

Inuyasha nobbed "I understand."

All three of them spent the night in the same bed. When ever Naraku started whimpering or shaking in his sleep Inuyasha would say soothing words to him and Sesshoumaru would rubbed his ears, till he settle down.

"How could people be so cruel?" Inuysha whispered. Naraku was between them both, using there warmth.

"I'll take you both to a place where those people cant find us" Sesshoumaru promised. He kissed Inuyasha forehead.

"Doesn't Namiko get a kiss too?"

Sesshoumaru was a little taken back but he happily place a kiss on the princes forehead.

"Good night"

Naraku starting crying in his sleep again.

"Shhhh, it's over, they cant hurt you anymore."
