2 Days Later…
Sesshomaru was sulking. He couldn't deny that, nor did he feel in the mood to deny it. He was sitting at the home bar with his head laying on the counter. He laid on both his arms but one of his hands hung limply over the other side of the counter as he stared blankly at the shot cup he had yet to even touch. "Comment allez-vous?" Sesshomaru looked up at the man who had served him the cup a little while ago. The man was frowning at him worriedly. Sesshomaru wasn't exactly sure when the man had come in, he just knew as soon as the man did, a shot glass was placed next to him and he was ignored for the majority of the time he was sitting there. He guessed his lack of moment had alarmed the man. Sesshomaru didn't answer the man, mostly because he hadn't understood what he said. Even if he understand the man, he doubt he would have given an answer anyway.
There was more silence before the man started speaking again. "Ah, Monsieur Moui. Même chose que d'habitude? "
"Oui," Naraku sat down next to Sesshomaru and frowned. He looked at the man behind the bar and nodded towards Sesshomaru. The man shrugged.
"Il a été là depuis que je suis arrivé." The man said, sitting a wine glass in front of Naraku with dark red liquid.
"Sesshomaru?" Naraku asked. Sesshomaru made a grunting noise causing Naraku to raise an eyebrow. "Are you alright?"
"Fine," Sesshomaru replied shortly. Naraku pulled the shot glass away from Sesshomaru slowly and looked at the man behind the bar. He nodded at the drink he had before he looked back at Sesshomaru.
"Are you sure? You can tell me," Naraku mumbled. He laid his head down on the counter (on top one of his arms) to better see Sesshomaru's face. Sesshomaru stared at him unblinkingly before he sighed and closed his eyes.
"It's Kai," Sesshomaru turned his head, crossing his arms on the counter before burying his face in his arms.
"What happened?" Naraku's eyes narrowed. Sesshomaru remained quiet. Naraku brought his hand up and slowly trailed his hand through Sesshomaru's hair. "Laissez-nous," Naraku commanded.
"Oui, Monsieur,"The man behind the bar said before leaving. Naraku waited until the man was completely out of the room before tapping Sesshomaru on the shoulder. Sesshomaru peered up from his arms to look a Naraku before he sat up slightly.
"Talk to me," Naraku said with a small smile. Sesshomaru looked down at his arms.
"It sounds a bit whiney but…Kai has been a bit…distant lately," Sesshomaru explained. "It started a little bit before this trip…" Sesshomaru uncrossed his arms and pulled the glass of wine in front of him, slouching over some. Naraku pulled himself up slightly to rest his head on his fist, and his elbow resting on the counter.
"Do you think it…has something to do with the illegal things he's involved with?" Naraku asked with a frown. Sesshomaru looked away from Naraku with a deep frown. He took a sip of his wine before furrowing his brow.
"Actually…" Sesshomaru mumbled lowly. "I noticed somewhat of a pattern…" Sesshomaru sat up straight abruptly, causing Naraku to sit up himself with a frown. "Before father passed away, he also became distant…That was up until he disowned me, then a week later he passed away. Kai and Inuyasha has been fighting for a long while," At this Sesshomaru looked at Naraku with a frown. Just a week before Inuyasha and I's fallout, Inuyasha had been coming over and calling less, of course Kai's constant distractions kept me busy enough to not really notice…and then Inuyasha is nearly killed…"
"Wait," Naraku suddenly interrupted. "You were disowned? Who was given the company after your father's death?"
"Inuyasha and yes I was disowned,"
"Does that mean you didn't help Inuyasha with the company? Also…you said…You said Toga died after that…How old were you?"
"17, no I didn't help Inuyasha," Sesshomaru frowned.
"How much older are you from Inuyasha?"
"2 years, why?"
"How is that a 15 year old was able to run a company without destroying it?" Naraku asked with a frown. Sesshomaru froze at that.
Kai jolted awake from his sleep as the bedroom door slammed open. His blurry eyes settled on an angry looking Sesshomaru. "We need to talk," Sesshomaru growled. Kai groaned and threw himself back on the bed, covering his face with his arm. He glanced at the bedside clock. 07:34. 'What the hell is with Sesshomaru and waking up so goddamned early…'
"Can we talk later?" Kai groaned.
"We need to talk, now," Sesshomaru hissed. Kai pulled his arm from over his face to see Sesshomaru now standing over him with a glower.
"What do we need to talk about?"
"Everything you're hiding from me," Sesshomaru said. Kai frowned and sat up.
"What are you talkin-"
"Do not give me that bullshit. Do you take me for someone who is stupid? You will tell me this instance everything!" Sesshomaru crossed his arms.
"Baby-"
"I will not tolerate any excuses," Sesshomaru growled. Kai frowned.
"Where is this-"
"This is coming from me just realizing you're still lying to me," Sesshomaru said. Kai's eyes widened slightly.
"What are you talking about, baby, I'm not-"
"Kai," Sesshomaru closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I swear to you, if you finish that sentence the way we both know you will, I will rip your dick off and feed it to you!" Kai's eyes widened.
"W-W-Sessh?" Kai gapped at the man standing above him. "What the hell has gotten into you?"
"I'm fed up with all of this!" Sesshomaru threw his hands up. "I'm done playing calm and cool, I want answers and if I don't get those answers, someone is getting hurt," Sesshomaru growled, his eyes narrowing.
"Holy shit," Kai ran a hand through his hair as he stared up at Sesshomaru. "Eh…Where do I start…?"
"What do you know about my father disowning me besides what I told you? Did you have anything to do with Inuyasha's accident? What is with you and Jadiyah? Why the fuck did we really come to Paris?" Kai could tell the other man was furious. Sesshomaru never used such profanity unless he was dazed in lust.
"I had nothing to with Inuyasha and his accident. Me and Jadiyah are friends-"
"Bullshit," Sesshomaru growled.
"I'm telling the truth, Sessh! There is nothing between me and Jadiyah anymore!"
"Why we here?"
"I just wanted to spend time with you Sessh, honestly," Kai said softly.
"You're lying to me! Ever since we got here, you've ignored me. Whenever we are doing whatever it is the fuck you want us to do, you abruptly stop with Jadiyah calls, which brings us back to what is going on between you too! Don't take me for my idiotic brother, I'm not stupid!"
"But you jump to conclusions just like him," Kai frowned.
"What?" Sesshomaru hissed.
"Eh…no-nothing,"
"Repeat what you just said," Sesshomaru's eyes were narrowed to near slits. Kai had never seen the other male this angry, and he wasn't helping his situation any better by digging a bigger grave for himself.
"I-I didn't say-"
"What did I tell you about your bullshit lies, I'm done with them. You tell me the truth or I'll beat it out of you!" At the last part, Sesshomaru got into Kai's face and jabbed him hard in the chest with his finger.
"I-I said that you jump to conclusions quickly just like your brother," Kai gulped audibly. This new scary Sesshomaru….was kind of a turn on.
"Maybe if you stopped beating around the damn bush, I wouldn't have to come up with conclusions on my own!"
"You know…this new you is kinda sexy," Kai said with a smirk. "Never saw this side of Sesshomaru before,"
"It'll be the last side you ever see if you keep fucking around with me," Sesshomaru growled. He yelped when he was suddenly pulled on top of Kai.
"Oh baby, keep talking dirty," Kai husked into Sesshomaru's ear as his hands roamed the other's cloth back.
"KAI!" Sesshomaru snapped. "I'm not playing around, yo-mmfph," Kai interrupted him by pressing his lips against his.
"FUCK!" Kai yelped, pulling away from Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru had bit his tongue. "What the fuck, Sessh?"
"You are not going to distract me, you asshole! You're going to answer the first question I asked you," Sesshomaru hissed. "Don't think I didn't notice you skipped it!"
"C'mon, baby!"
"Don't baby me! Answer!" Sesshomaru snapped.
"Ugh!" Kai flopped backwards as Sesshomaru stood up from the bed. "What was the question?"
"What else do you know about my father disowning me besides what I told you? I know you know more," Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed.
"Err…I don't know about your father disowning you," Kai said. He frowned and grumbled something lowly.
"What?" Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed even farther. Kai's eyes widened slightly. 'shit did I say that out loud?'
"Uh…what?"
"Don't play stupid," Sesshomaru hissed. "Repeat that last sentence loudly and fully," Kai stared up at Sesshomaru with an uncertain look.
"I do…remember overhearing something about protecting you," Kai said. Sesshomaru frowned.
"And where the hell did you hear that from?"
"…Goshinki…" Kai answered after a moment of hesitation. Sesshomaru's frown deepened.
"And why the hell would he be talking about me and my father?"
"Well…" Kai's voice was slowly getting quieter.
"Well what?" Sesshomaru had the feeling he wasn't going to like the answer. Kai looked away from Sesshomaru.
"I…well….our meeting wasn't…chance…" Kai looked up at Sesshomaru and watched as the other male's eyes widened.
"What do you mean? Were you supposed to kill me or something?"
"No, no!" Kai said holding his hands up. "I…was…hired to protect you," Sesshomaru suddenly got a sickening feeling in his stomach.
"…what…?"
"I was hired to protect you," Kai said a bit firmer.
"…" Sesshomaru was silent as he stared at Kai. "So…all of this has been a lie…" Sesshomaru whispered. Kai's body went rigid.
"No!"
"When I asked you if you would marry someone if someone else paid you, you never directly answered my question," Sesshomaru said as he slowly backed away from the bed. Kai jumped up out of the bed.
"Baby-"
"You said you loved me," Sesshomaru whispered.
"You have it all wrong," Kai reached out to Sesshomaru but the shorter snatched away from him.
"You're just like Inuyasha," Sesshomaru mumbled, backing away from Kai.
"No, listen to me baby-"
"Don't call me that," Sesshomaru growled. "You've done nothing but lie to me for the past decade…everything you stand for is a lie!"
"That's not true!" Kai managed to grab hold of Sesshomaru. "Listen to me, Sessh,"
"No! Let go of me, now!" Sesshomaru yelled.
"I was hired to just look out for you,"
"Shut up!"
"I didn't know I'd end up falling in love with you, Sessh,"
"Don't give me your fucked up excuses! UNHAND ME!"
"Sessh! I was telling you the truth all those times I've told you I loved you. I do love you! I always will-"
"RELEASE ME!" Sesshomaru yelled. "I don't want to hear anything else from you!"
"Sessh-" Kai grunted as Sesshomaru managed to punch him some kind of way in his stomach, making him loosen his grip on the shorter male. Sesshomaru wrenched himself away from Kai and ran towards the door and tossing it open. Kai recovered when Sesshomaru fled the room. Kai took off after the other male. He didn't get too far down the hall before something hard and solid collided with his face, causing him to fall backwards in a daze. He shook out of the daze to stare up at Naraku. The other male was glowering down at him.
"Stay away from him," Naraku growled before turning and walking down the hall. Kai sat there silently for a while before bringing his hand up to his bruising cheek. He dropped his body to the floor and stared at the ceiling.
"Fuck…"
Closing in on the end. I'm thinking about writing a sequel to this or fixing the ending….I guess I'll figure it out when I post it and gauge everyone's reaction to it.
Reactions?
