Chapter 30

Naraku slowly opened his eyes. The bright sun hitting his face blinded him. He tried to turn his head but discovered he couldn't. He couldn't even move a finger. Panicking he tried to call out. All that came out was a soft wine.

"Sesshoumaru, he's awake." He heard someone say.

Naraku could only look up at the ceiling. It was impossible to turn his head. Slowly two figures came into view. They stood directly above him, in his line of vision.

"Don't try to move, the drugs running through your system won't let you." Sesshoumaru informed.

Naraku felt his mouth being opened and something squirting inside it. "Its water." Sesshoumaru was using a turkey bester to give him water.

"You have been asleep for three days. You're almost healed up." Inuyasha gently stroked his hair. He hated to see the fear in the prince's eyes. "Don't worry we are not mad at you. Nobody is going to hurt you. The drug should be wearing off soon. We just wanted to make sure you didn't go anywhere while we went to the market."

Naraku blinked repeatedly.

"Believe it or not we really do love you. We didn't mean to take things this far." Inuyasha was almost in tears.

"We thought if we broke you, you wouldn't leave us. It was a mistake to treat you so badly. One we could never make up for." Sesshoumaru rose from the bed.

Naraku was slowly recovering the ability to move. The drug was wearing off.

He felt arms wrap around him and gently lift him up. "Its time to end this." Sesshoumaru said.

Naraku started to shake. He didn't know what they had planned but he feared they meant they end him.

Seeing his worried face Inuyasha smiled softly. "No we never kill you Naraku."

Sesshoumaru took him down stairs and out to the porch. Naraku was able to turn his head and see a horse tied to the porch rail. He could sit up when the general placed him on the steps.

All three of them waited several minutes till Naraku was capable to stand on his own. Confused he looked over the beast, than at them.

"Here." Sesshumaru tossed his a bag. "It's filled with enough supplies and money to get you home."

"You're letting me go?"

Inuyasha nobbed. "You have been punished enough. I wanted to keep you with us forever but you made it clear you rather die than stay here. I never wanted to hurt you. I just didn't want you to leave." He looked away.

"Go home cat. Go home to your kingdom. You can tell them what happen but we will not be here long enough for you to seek revenge. Before the day is out we shall be gone. You or my king will never find us."

"Where will you go? Both kingdoms will be after you."

Naraku felt like he wanted to throw up. He had no idea why he hadn't jumped on the horse and ran before they changed their mind.

"Somewhere far away." Sesshoumaru said sadly. He gripped Inuyasha hand tightly.

"I…I…." fighting back tears Naraku turned around. Grabbing the bag tightly he walked to the horse. Each step took so much will power. He wouldn't be surprised if his legs were trembling.

Silently he climbed on the stead. He took off. He made it to the road before stopping. Looking back he saw both Inu's watching him. They were holding each other's hands. Inuyasha was crying. He was crying tears for him. Sesshoumaru had his eyes closed. He was to prideful to shed a tear. But the misery still showed on his face.

Naraku found his breath caught in his throat. He could only hear his own heart beat. He tried to pull on the horse leash but he couldn't. Strangely it was easier to make the animal walk back to the house than leave it. It was easier to climb off it than on it. It only got hard when he was in front of the inu's again. They were both shocked to see him there. They stared at each other in silence for a very long time.

"I…." Naraku swallowed hard and whipped his eyes. "I don't want to leave."

"Naraku….." Inuyasha could feel his heart start to lighten. It as so heavy with grief a few seconds ago.

"I want to stay. Whatever you guys did worked. I can't leave you. I can't go back. I can't go back home and be king. I can't go back to my lavish lifestyle; I can't do anything, if ….. If I'm not with you two." He tightens his fist. "And you can't let me go either. What is wrong with you two? I thought you loved me. You can't let someone you love leave you." Naraku was screaming now. Tear freely fell from his eyes.

Sesshoumaru gently smiled. "Your right we can't." He opened his arms. "Come here and I promise we will never let you go again."

Naraku rushed into them. Two pairs of arms held him so tight he though he suffocate.

"If I stay you can't treat me like a slave anymore."

"Of course." They agreed.

"No more, whips, no more collars, no more chains, no more naked walks through town, and no more rape."

"Anything."

"But we will still have sex?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Only when we all agree." Naraku chuckled.

"And we can still use the collars and chains, just to play?"

"Sometime Inuyasha."

Naraku looked around. Sure he didn't live in a castle but somehow he liked the house more. It was where the only two people he ever loved were. People might think their relationship was weird or messed up but who cared? He had but Inuyasha through hell and the hanyou had returned the favor. He had used and tricked Sesshoumaru and the dog and gotten him back. Now here they were, happy and in love. It must be possible to love two people at once. He does. Who would have thought that a prince, a general and a slave could be so happy together?
