So it took me forever to come up with this one! Like, I had no idea how to start it or where it was going to go xP Thank god my friend was there to help lol Here is chapter 10 xDDD
"Sesshomaru!" Naraku's voice rang in the back of Sesshomaru's head. The demon Lord grimaced as he recalled Naraku calling his name before the baboon demon attacked him. He sounded so helpless and scared that he couldn't help but save the spiders life. He remembered the look on the spider demons face when he saved him. His eyes were wide in shock with a few tears threatening to run down his cheeks, his pink lips were open ajar in awe, and a faint blush was spread over his cheeks in fluster. The demon looked so charming that if it wasn't for Naraku's wounded arm, the demon Lord would have had his way with him on the spot... "Charming?" Sesshomaru growled to himself loudly. "I should have let him die," he whispered to himself, glaring at the wooden floor. "Damn demon."
"...Should we...should we say something?" Kagome whispered in Sango's ear as they watched Sesshomaru tentatively. They were both sitting on the other side of the room as far away from the demon Lord as possible. Not too long ago Sesshomaru stormed into the room, without sparing the two females a glance, and plotted himself down on his bed. He's spent the last few minutes glaring and uttering words to himself.
"I don't think he'll want to hear our voices," Sango whispered back, hearing Sesshomaru mumbled words like "find him" and "demolish him."
"We're back!" Shippo yelled in glee as he, Miroku, Inuyasha, Rin, and Jaken walked in. The group stopped dead at their track as they sensed the strong tension in the air.
"Is something wrong?" Miroku asked glancing over at the girls and walking over to them.
"No nothings wrong with us," Kagome answered shaking her head 'no.' She glanced at the the demon Lord who still has yet to notice anyone's presence. "I can't say the same for him though, Sesshomaru seems to be a little mad?" Miroku glanced at the demon and tensed up. Sesshomaru looks as though he's ready to kill.
"Did you guys say something to him?" Miroku asked as Inuyasha put the things he bought from the market down beside the girls.
"No he was like this when he came back," Sango whispered back.
Rin smiled when she saw her protector was back, but her smile quickly went away when she saw that he was fuming. She quickly made her way towards her Lord, stood in front of him, and studied his face. He had a scowl on and kept his glare on the floor. Although Rin was close to him Sesshomaru was to distracted on planning Naraku's death to notice the girl. "Is something wrong my Lord?" She asked, hoping to catch her Lord's attention. Sesshomaru looked up into the little girls brown eyes and his glare soften. He shook his head 'no' and stood from his spot. He gave everyone an unamused glance before making his way towards the door and exiting the room.
"What's up with him?" Inuyasha asked, breaking the silence of the room.
"I don't know, he's been like this ever since he came back from who knows where," Kagome answered, standing up from her sitting position on the floor.
"Do you think he's mad that he still can't remember anything?" Shippo asked, jumping on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"That could be the case," Miroku said stepping outside the door and watching Sesshomaru walk away.
"Should we go after him or something?" Sango asked, furrowing her brows in worry.
"I think we should-"
"-Lord Sesshomaru don't leave me with these humans!" Jaken cried as he stepped out of the room and bolted towards his Lord. As if right on cue, Sesshomaru leaped up toward the sky and took flight. "My Lord?!" Jaken called out as he continued to follow his Lord. "Don't leave me!"
"Stupid Toad," Inuyasha said rolling his eyes.
"As I was saying, I think it's best that Inuyasha go try and talk to Sesshomaru," Miroku suggested as the girls nodded their heads in agreement.
"Wait, What?! Why me?!" Inuyasha argued, folding his arms and looking away.
"Because you're his brother and a good brother should go help his sibling with his problems," Miroku said as a matter-of-factly.
"But-"
"Just go check on him," Kagome interrupted, "I know you're curios to know what's got him so upset."
"Tsk... Fine," Inuyasha huffed, removing Shippo from his arm and walking out of the room.
"Please make sure my Lord comes back safe and happy," Rin pleaded before Inuyasha left.
"Don't worry kid, I'll bring back your Pop" Inuyasha smiled before running off at full speed.
Sesshomaru growled as he walked around the forest, searching for the damn demon. "Show yourself, pest," Sesshomaru said in a low threatening hiss. Why is he even mad at the demon? That, he doesn't know for sure, which angers him the most. Yes the fact that Naraku disappeared without a trace ticked him off, but it's no reason to be this angry. Maybe he's searching for Naraku to apologies for nearly bringing him to tears? But why apologies for wanting to have one kiss? Hell! If they were a couple then they've probably shared more then just a kiss. They probably already mated. "Naraku," Sesshomaru growled as he stopped on is tracks. He was back at the river where he last saw the demon.
"S-Sesshomaru," Naraku's voice whimpered in the back of Sesshomaru's head.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at the river. He felt his chest tighten up and his brows furrowed. He shouldn't have done such an unforgivable act towards the demon. How can he forgive himself for bringing such a charming demon to tears? The jewel around Sesshomaru's neck brightened as images of Naraku sobbing popped to Sesshomaru's head. He should really find the demon and apologies properly. "Naraku..." Sesshomaru sighed as he walked towards the spot where he healed Naraku's wound.
"Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha suddenly said, snapping Sesshomaru out of his thoughts.
Sesshomaru turned to face his brother, "Brother, why have you followed me?"
Inuyasha's was taken aback. Wow! He never thought he'd ever here the day Sesshomaru call him 'brother.' It made his chest tighten up... in a good way. "Um... I came to check up on you... ?" Inuyasha drifted off, noticing something odd about the charm around Sesshomaru's neck. Is it him or did it seem like the charm was glowing?
"I don't need you to be 'checking up' on me, rest assured I am fine," Sesshomaru said, getting Inuyasha's attention away from the tainted jewel.
"Really? 'Cus ya seemed pretty pissed off about something back in the room," Inuyasha said, folding his arms. "What's up with you?"
Sesshomaru averted his gaze from his brother and remained silent. Was it that obvious that he was bothered by Naraku (N/A pshhh only a little bit xD)? "I don't need to explain myself to you," Sesshomaru said as he turned his back on his brother and began walking away, obviously determined to look for the spider demon again.
"What? Fine!..." Inuyasha huffed as he glared at a random tree. "...If you're not gonna tell me then at least let me help you keep your mind off it!" Inuyasha uttered out, making Sesshomaru stop at his tracks.
"Why do you insist on wanting to help me?" Sesshomaru asked, keeping his back faced toward Inuyasha.
"Because... I..." Inuyasha dozed off, thinking hard. How should he tell his brother that he's worried about him and wants to spend time with him without sounding cheesy? "Because... You know what? Forget it, I wont force you," Inuyasha huffed out, his face beat red, "I'm going back to the village."
A low sigh escaped Sesshomaru's lips. 'Perhaps Inuyasha wants to make memories with me?' Sesshomaru thought as he turned to face Inuyasha. His thoughts were confirmed when he saw the crimson blush on Inuyasha's cheeks. "...Then what shall we do?" Sesshomaru asked, knowing that Inuyasha won't give him a straight answer.
Inuyasha's eyes widen as he looked back at his brother. A smile threatened to form on his lips. "Umm," Inuyasha started as he scratched the back of his head. "W-we can train?"
~"Sesshomaru," Naraku whimpered as he clutched his hands onto Sesshomaru's robe and rested his head on the crook of the demon Lord's neck. "Please forgive me!" he pleaded, trembling madly.
"You used me Naraku," Sesshomaru said in his ice cold voice. He glared down at the sobbing demon clutching onto him.
"It wasn't my intentions to hurt you," Naraku admitted, looking up into Sesshomaru's golden eyes. His chest tightened when he was given a death glare.
"Then what were your intentions?" Sesshomaru questioned, making Naraku flinch from the harshness in his voice.
"...I just wanted... I-"
"-What ever the reason is, I could careless," Sesshomaru suddenly interrupted, shoving Naraku off of him. "I'll let you live this time, but the next time I see you, you'll perish," Sesshomaru hissed as he turned away from Naraku and began to walk away.
"Wait..." Naraku begged as he reached his hand out toward Sesshomaru. He watched with wide eyes as Sesshomaru walked farther and didn't spare him a glance. "Tsk... Damn you Sesshomaru!" Naraku growled as a pair of his giant tentacles sprang from his back and moved him forward towards the demon Lord. "I'll destroy you!" He shouted as a jagged tentacle aimed toward Sesshomaru's back.
"First you beg for forgiveness and now you're attacking me?" Sesshomaru questioned as he turned around to face Naraku. Naraku growled, tears streaming down his cheek, as his tentacle went past Sesshomaru. "Is that really the best you can do?" Sesshomaru taunted as he neared Naraku, the tips of his fingers turning green.
"Stay away from me," Naraku warned, as he launched more of his jagged tentacles towards Sesshomaru. For some reason he can't seem to hit him, even though he's just a few feet away. It's like something was preventing him from hurting the demon.
"Pathetic," Sesshomaru said as he slashed the tentacles that came towards him with ease.
"Stay away!" Naraku warned, stepping back as Sesshomaru grew closer.
"What do you want spider?" Sesshomaru asked, avoiding Naraku's attacks and swiftly pushed the demon against a wall, that seems to have appeared from nowhere, and held his wrist about his head. "Naraku," he said almost in a whisper as he gazed into the spider's red eyes.
Naraku felt his chest tighten painfully, "I... I don't want to hurt you anymore," he whimpered, clenching his eyes shut.
"Why is that, Naraku?" Sesshomaru asked in a purr. He placed small, feather like kisses on the spider's neck, causing said man to shiver and moan.
"Be-because- ah!" Naraku gasped, as Sesshomaru's leg rubbed against his hardening crotch. His face flushed in embarrassment and his heart ran a mile.
"Because?" Sesshomaru questioned as he nibbled on Naraku's jaw.
"Because... I love you," Naraku admitted, his heart skipping a beat at hearing himself say those words.
"Naraku," Sesshomaru purred, inching himself closer to Naraku's lips. The spider demon's tears had long stopped. He felt like a heavy wait was lifted off his shoulders. Naraku slowly shut his eyes as he felt Sesshomaru's lips brush against his and~
"Get away from me!" Naraku hissed as he sat up from his bed and took deep breaths. Sweat ran down his face and a red blush was over his cheeks. What a terrifying dream, Sesshomaru was going to kiss him! "Disgusting!" he growled, running his hand through his hair. He cant take a bloody nap without thinking about that demon. "So Onigumo is afraid of hurting Sesshomaru, that explains why I acted the way I did around the demon," Naraku growled as he stood from his spot on the bed and made his way towards the doors.
"Where are you going?" Kagura asked as Naraku shoved his way passed her.
"To retrieve the shards myself," Naraku said, stopping at his tracks and turning to glare at Kagura. "Do not leave this castle," he warned before turning back around and leaving Kagura.
"As if I'm going to wait here and miss the fun," Kagura smirked as she went to retrieve Kanna.
"I gotta say, I'm surprised you still remember how to fight," Inuyasha panted, sweat dripping from his head as he smirked at his brother.
"I'm amazed you can keep me moving on my feet, well done," Sesshomaru complemented, keeping his guard up.
Inuyasha walked around his older brother, never breaking eye contact, and leaped up towards the sky. He sunk his claws into the palm of his hand, "blades of blood!" he shouted as he aimed his bloody blades at Sesshomaru. Smirking, Sesshomaru swiftly moved away from the attack and lashed his poisonous whip at Inyuasha. "Ung!" Inuyasha grunted as he shielded himself with his Kimono. He landed on the floor and dashed towards Sesshomaru. "Iron reaver soul stealer!" Inuyasha shouted as he launched his claws towards Sesshomaru's chest. Sesshomaru dodged the attack but not quick enough. He grunted as Inuyasha's claws slashed his arm. "Whoa, sorry about that, you okay?" Inuyasha asked, his voice full of worry as he came close to Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru smirks, "Never keep your guard down around the enemy,"
"Wah-" Inuyasha gasped as Sesshomaru grabbed him by the collar of his kimono and flung him hard against a tree. "Ah!" Inuyasha cried out as his back hit the rough wood. He fell to the floor and groaned in pain.
"That wasn't a fair move," Inuyasha huffed as he stood from the floor.
"A fight is never fair little brother," Sesshomaru said, his smirk fading from his face. He placed his hand over his wound and walked over to Inuyasha.
"Yeah I guess you're right," Inuyasha said, dusting his clothes. "It's getting late, we should head back towards the village and treat your wound,"
"It will heal on the way," Sesshomaru said as he followed Inuyasha, whom led the way toward the village. The sun was already setting in the horizon and the silent walk towards the village was peaceful.
"Listen um, I just wanted to say that... I had fun today," Inuyasha said, his face turning red.
"As did I, little brother," Sesshomaru said, walking side by side with Inuyasha. Inuyasha smiled, boy did he love the way Sesshomaru called him 'little brother.' He felt his heart warm up, finally he has the brotherly love he's wanted since he was a kid.
"Also uh... I forgive you-" Inuyasha said, looking off to the side, not wanting to meet Sesshomaru's eyes, "-for all the things you've done to me and my friends."
Sesshomaru looked towards Inuyasha and smiled at his brothers red face. "Thank you for your forgiveness," Sesshomaru said as he looked forward.
"Whatever," Inuyasha said, coughing in his hand, trying not to smile.
Both the dog demon's finally reached the village. Since they walked home the sun has already set, the sky was now filled with a blanket of stars. 'What a lovely sight,' Sesshomaru thought looking up into the night sky. He narrowed his eyes as he remembered the dream he had earlier that day. The dream was the whole reason he woke up in a foul mood and ended up going to the river. 'I wonder how the demon is doing?' Sesshomaru thought as he and Inuyasha neared the small home. Sesshomaru stopped at his tracks and looked back towards the forest. Something is telling him to go back.
"Is something wrong?" Inuyasha asked, making Sesshomaru face him.
"...I wont take long," Sesshomaru said as he turned and headed back towards the forest.
"But-"
"I'll be fine little brother," Sesshomaru said, glancing back at Inuyasha and giving him a smile.
"...Alright," Inuyasha said as he watched Sesshomaru dash toward the forest.
