MissTuffcy: Sorry for the long wait everyone. School has been very demanding of my time. I didn't do my usual time/place cap when it changes countries last chapter. I hope it didn't cause any confusion.
Summary: "You don't understand….I loved her….a lot….And he took that from me….so I've decided to take something he loves away from him to show him how I felt! It's nothing personal against you," A sigh "I had a feeling that not cutting ties with that idiot would cost me dearly…I should have listened to Jaken…."

"We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we say." ― Zeno of Citium
They were in the car together. Naraku in the driver seat and Sesshomaru in the passenger seat silently staring out the window. Naraku had spent the better half the ride trying to start a conversation with the other male. He didn't know how to even begin. If he was in the situation the man was in now, he knew the one thing he wouldn't want to be asked is if he were alright, so that trumped that path of conversation starting. Glancing up at the sky, Naraku noticed there wasn't much sunlight left. It was probably around 5. "I want to show you something," Naraku said silently. He glanced at Sesshomaru as the white haired male slowly turned to look at him.
"Okay,"
Japan – Taisho Inc.
Inuyasha sighed as he walked out of his office to stand outside the door. He looked at his secretary who was bent over a piece of paper with her eyes furrowed. "How is it coming along?" Inuyasha asked. His secretary snapped her attention up at him.
"I managed to get more out of it, but I'm still highly confused as what its supposed to be about," She said, looking down at the piece of paper. She picked it up and handed it to Inuyasha who looked it over.
"I suu ywp spxmimud ywpx little ieeidunt. I didn't think ywp dwptd. hwj is thit sxwthux wr ywpxs? I hwzu hu is intiet," Inuyasha furrowed his brow but then after a while looked at his secretary. "Do you think all the 'w's are 'o's and the 'p's are 'u's?" He handed the paper back to his secretary who stared at the paper for a moment. She nodded her head.
"Yes…yes…yes this could work," She said, writing on the piece of paper with a red ink pen.
"I suu you suxmimud youx little ieeidunt. I didn't think you doutd. hoj is thit sxothux or youxs? I hozu hu is intiet," was the final outcome. She furrowed her brows and looked up at Inuyasha. Inuyasha shrugged.
"Hold my calls. I'm going out for lunch,"
"Okay, Mr. Taishou. I'll keep at decoding this message," She said with a smile. Inuyasha nodded before leaving the office building.
France – LaVilla de Onigumo
Onigumo sighed as the front door to his house opened for him. "Bienvenue à la maison, monsieur Moui." Onigumo nodded at the butler who bowed to him behind the door.
"Où est mon frère?" Onigumo asked as he took off his jacket. He started across the entrancehall towards the staircase, hading his jacket to the butler as he went.
"Votre frère n'est jamais revenu. Il est un Monsieur Tueerie-" Onigumo stopped at the bottom of the bottom of the stairs. He turned sharply to his butler.
"Tueerie?" Onigumo asked sharply.
"Oui, monsieur. Il est-" Onigumo cut the man off again.
"Dans mon bureau?" Onigumo asked as he took a step up.
"Oui, monsieur. Il-" Onigumo didn't hear what the man had to say, for he had took quick strides up the stairs to get to his office. He all but ran down the hall and burst open the door to see none other than Jadiyah sitting behind his desk staring up at the ceiling. Sad dark haired male slowly brought his gaze down to Onigumo – he looked less than pleased.
"What the fuck did you do?" Jadiyah all but growled out.
France – La Villa de Naraku
"It's just right around here," Naraku spoke. Sesshomaru, slightly out of breath, sighed. Naraku had driven them to one of the Moui's many homes littering France – though this one Naraku had proclaimed was solely his. This one in particular was a bit smaller than the one Sesshomaru and Kai had arrived to. Though, that small size in housing accommodation was probably because of how large the land around it was.
There were maple trees littering the property, all in their fall skins already. They were currently in the back of the manor, where Naraku was leading Sesshomaru through a labyrinth of hedges towards the center of the garden. When they actually reached the center, Sesshomaru sighed in relief, though he nearly choked on that breath at the sight before him. It was a large stone fountain that had lights in it. There were two sets of stone benches on either side of the fountain; one of which Naraku led Sesshomaru to sit on. "I come here to clear my mind," Naraku said, staring at the fountain. Sesshomaru glanced at Naraku briefly before turning his gaze to the fountain. After a while of silence, Sesshomaru spoke up.
"I can see why," Sesshomaru whispered. "It's peaceful," They sat there together in comfortable silence, the chirping of crickets and the noises of the fountain adding to the peaceful ambience to garden.
"Have you thought about moving away?" Naraku suddenly asked. Sesshomaru turned his gaze to the dark haired male. Where had that question come from? And why did it sound so familiar? Sesshomaru turned away from the man to stare at the fountain. Now he remembered. It was the same question he had asked of Naraku when it seemed the man was ready to snap. But why did he ask Sesshomaru such a thing? Did it appear to him that he too was ready to snap? "Sesshomaru?" Naraku turned his gaze to Sesshomaru.
And here he was. Doctor turned patient….patient turned doctor. "What do you mean?" Sesshomaru finally mumbled.
"Moving away…getting away from all this – starting fresh," Naraku mumbled. Sesshomaru looked back at Naraku to find the man gazing at him with a strange look in his eye.
"Sometimes…however lately….the urge has grown stronger," Sesshomaru turned away from Naraku, feeling a bit on edge all of a sudden. "Do you ever feel that way?"
"All the time," Naraku said without missing a beat. There was more silence, this one tenser than the last.
"What's holding you back?" Sesshomaru asked.
"…The same thing that is holding you back," Sesshomaru's gaze snapped back to Naraku. The man was no longer looking at him but staring up at the sky. Sesshomaru looked up with him.
"What do you think is holding us back?" Sesshomaru asked quietly.
"Ourselves," Naraku responded. Sesshomaru was silent. There was truth in the words Naraku spoke, though he didn't exactly know how to express that.
"Ourselves…" Sesshomaru repeated silently.
"Anima mea, lacrimosa." Naraku murmured. Sesshomaru turned to look at him in confusion.
"Huh?"
"Sans vous, je ne sais pas quoi faire." Naraku mumbled as he looked back down at Sesshomaru. "Ne laissez jamais…" Naraku placed a hand on Sesshomaru's hands, which rested in the white haired male's lap. "Sesshomaru….Je t'aime," after uttering those words, Naraku leaned forward and pressed his lips to Sesshomaru's. Sesshomaru's eyes only widened briefly before they slowly closed as Naraku brought up a hand to cradle the other man's head.
Japan – Taishou Inc.
Inuyasha grumbled irritably as he reentered the office building with one other trailing behind him. "Don't you think it'd be a lovely idea?" The black haired male trailing Inuyasha asked.
"For the last time, Miroku, I really don't give a damn," Inuyasha sighed.
"You said you wanted to get in his good graces! I'm trying to tell you how!"
"I don't want to make peace with that blue headed fucking barbarian!" Inuyasha snapped, turning on Miroku. "The fucking shit can rot in the fucking deepest pits of hell for all I care!"
"But Inuyasha-"
"Miroku, I swear to the highest deity- if you value your life and your job you'll put a damn sock in it before I push you out the damn window!" Inuyasha stormed towards his secretary with Miroku following behind him.
"C'mon Inuyasha, think about it!"
"Miroku….in 5 seconds, I'm going to make Sango a widow," Inuyasha turned to glare at the dark haired grinning man.
"Sir," Inuyasha's secretary interrupted. Inuyasha looked at her.
"Any luck?"
"I got this far," She handed the paper to Inuyasha and Inuyasha read it over. "I see you surmimed your little ieeident. I didn't think you would. How is that srother or yours? I hoze he is intaet."
"What is that?" Miroku asked, peering over Inuyasha's shoulder. Inuyasha glared at him and shrugged him off.
"Mind your own, you asshole," Inuyasha growled.
"Oh, come now Inuyasha!"
"It's an encoding message I'm having trouble decoding," The secretary said, earning a glare from Inuyasha which she ignored.
"Let me have a looksy," Miroku snatched the paper from Inuyasha who growled something at him. Miroku picked up a pink pen from out of the cup of pens on the secretary's desk. "You didn't finish turning all the 'I's into 'a's." Miroku said marking on the paper. "I see you surmimed your little aeeident. I didn't think you would. How is that srother or yours? I hoze he is intaet," Miroku tapped the pen on his lip. "I'm guessing the 's' is a 'b' to make that word brother. So this sentence reads 'how is that brother of yours'" Miroku read. Inuyasha froze.
"What?" Inuyasha snatched the paper from Miroku and read it. "What the fuck is this about?"
"Well," Miroku started, snatching the paper back. "If you allow me to finish, I can tell you what it is!" Miroku huffed. He went back to tapping his lip with the pen. He stopped suddenly and his eyes widened. "Inuyasha, call your brother."
"What? Why? What does that say?" Inuyasha shouted.
""I see you survived your little accident. I didn't think you would. How is that brother of yours? I hope he is still intact."" Miroku read. He looked up to see all the color had drained from Inuyasha's face.
"Masaaki, when did you say this message came in…?" Inuyasha asked quietly.
"Three days ago," was her response. "Mr. Tai-" She didn't get to finish as Inuyasha had already ran out of the office building. She looked up at Miroku who was on his phone.
"Detective Kurokawa?" Miroku asked. He glanced at Masaaki who sat behind the desk looking lost. "Hold all of his calls and clear his schedule for the next week – if he even had anything scheduled," Miroku said with a nod, before walking out of the office building talking to the other person on the line.
