Authors note*
Hello everyone! First I would like to apologies for the long wait. I literally made you guys wait a year and I deeply am sorry. The reason for the long wait is due to the fact that it was my senior year in HS and I was trying to make memories with all my friends before they went their separate ways for college. Another reason is that I had major writes block in all my fan fiction stories, not to mention my other (non-fanfiction) stories. Hopefully I'm back and I'm here to stay. I would like to thank that one reader, who I have yet to know their name, for leaving me that last review. The one with the "Plot twist" and the "sesshomaru already knowing that he was being tricked." It got me all giddy and happy because it was such a cute plot twist XD Somehow your review gave me inspiration and got me out of my writers block(for now) and I would like to thank you sincerely. You're a life saver and hopefully you're reading this authors note
Thank you all for waiting patiently. I hope you enjoy!
"It's my concern if my partner is grieving!" Sesshomaru's words echoed in the back of Naraku's head. Naraku's heart skipped a beat as scenes of what happened just moments ago played in his head like a tape. "Tell me your troubles… just please, stop letting the tears flow from your eyes…" A dark, red, blush graced Naraku's face as he entered through the doors of his castle.
"I wonder…" Naraku says to himself as he walks down the halls, "is Sesshomaru really this affectionate…or is it all the doing of the tainted jewel shard?" That thought alone made the spider demon's chest tighten painfully. He stood in place for a moment, contemplating his thoughts. Maybe the jewel is working too well, Sesshomaru isn't acting like his proper self because of it. Everything he said, everything the demon Lord did was because he's being manipulated; he didn't really mean any of his actions. If this goes on Sesshomaru's real state of mind might be erased forever… Naraku furrowed his brows in annoyance, "so what if the jewel is corrupting him? It's only helping me get closer to the rest of the jewel fragments."
"Who are you talking to?" Kagura asked, startling Naraku from behind.
"…It's none of your concern" Naraku hissed before continuing his way towards his bed chambers.
"Are you sure nothing happened? Perhaps something intimate?" Kagura asked before Naraku was out of her view. Naraku stops at his tracks once again, his whole face turns red at the memory of Sesshomaru taking his lips. Growling to himself he walks straight to his room and slides the door shut.
"Pesky Wench, spying on me and my Lord, who does she think she…" Naraku pauses mid-sentence when he realized he referred to Sesshomaru as "his Lord." His face turns a deeper shade of red. A sigh escapes his lips as he ran his hand through his face. "Onigumo you foolish human, do you really think Sesshomaru is yours? Can't you see he's being controlled and is walking into my trap?" he says to himself as he walked toward his bed. He sits down upon it and leans against the wall.
"Tell me, am I the cause of these tears?"
"Of course you weren't idiot, Onigumo just got overwhelmed," Naraku mumbled, remembering the moment the demon Lord questioned his actions and comforted him. As if he'd shed a tear for anyone over his own free will.
"You gave me the impression that you did not want me to embrace you, let alone touch you"
"But of course, I did not want your filthy hands touching my body," Naraku huffed. Hell, being in the same room with the demon made his skin shiver. He hated the way Sesshomaru first approached him; the demon Lord basically invaded his personal space when they stood chest to chest. He also didn't like the way Sesshomaru embraced him, the way he held Naraku tightly against his hard, chiseled, chest and yet managed to be gentle, made Naraku feel uncomfortable! Speaking of uncomfortable, Naraku hated, no, despised the fact that Sesshomaru kissed him. Sure he knew it was bound to happen but the kiss happened so suddenly it took the spider demon off guard. The demon Lord's lips were so frighteningly cold and demanding… yet they were incredibly soft and passionate. Naraku remembered the way Sesshomaru pressed their bodies tightly together as they kissed, the way their lips moved in sync with each other, the way Sesshomaru nibbled teasingly on his ear, and the way Sesshomaru pressed his hand against his hard member. Naraku shivered slightly as a jolt of excitement went through his body.
"…You looked so tempting…"
"…Sesshomaru," Naraku said in a hush tone. He runs his hands slowly down towards his erection and gently palms it. "Ah!" he gasped quietly at how hard and sensitive it got.
"I didn't think you would make such a delicious sound,"
"Sh-Shut up," Naraku groans as his hands move inside his pants and begins to rub up and down his shaft. A moan escapes his lips as his pace moves faster. He clenched his eyes shut, remembering how Sesshomaru caressed him and dominated him. He can almost feel the demon Lord beside him, pleasuring him, and whispering erotic words into his ears.
"Are you always this tempting when we're like this?"
"Hm, Sesshomaru!" Naraku moaned almost in a shout. The spider was now lying on his bed, with his back facing down. His heart beat quickened and sweat coated his body. He tightened his grip on his shaft as he moved faster. "My L-Lord," he moaned as he imagined Sesshomaru on top of him and ravishing his body. He imagined what it would be like for the demon Lord to tease his nipples, to suck his hard erection, to penetrate into him.
"…Naraku…"
"Sesshomaru!" Naraku moaned before coming into his hand. He lied there, letting the after high of his orgasm settle down. "What did I just do to myself?" Naraku then asked, finally realizing that he came to the thought of Sesshomaru.
"Lord Sesshomaru you're back!" Rin shouted excitedly as she ran towards her Lord.
"We were starting to think you forgot your way back and got lost," Miroku said as he stood up from his spot, next to the sleeping demon slayer, and approached Sesshomaru with a candle in hand.
"I apologies for my absence, I had to take care of business," Sesshomaru said as he kneeled down to Rin's eye level and patted her head. "Did you wait long?"
Rin shook her head "no" and beams a smile at her Lord. "Rin is glad you're back my Lord!" she says. Sesshomaru returns her smile before standing straight up again.
"It seems I took longer than I thought," Sesshomaru says, seeing that everyone in the room already fell asleep except for Rin and Miroku.
"Well it's been a long day for everyone, especially for Inuyasha, he was the first one to sleep,"
"I see," Sesshomaru said, watching over Inuyasha's sleeping figure. He had a small smile gracing his face. "I guess our sparring together tired him out," Sesshomaru assumed, glad that his brother is content.
"You both sparred? That explains some of the cuts and bruises he had," Miroku pointed out. "You know he was smiling the whole time when he came back,"
"Really? That's good, he deserves joy in his life" Sesshomaru smiled softly before looking down at his young ward, "Rin its best you rest as well." Rin nodded her head in agreement as she grabbed her Lord's hand and pulled him toward the bed they shared. Sesshomaru sat on the bed with his back towards the wall and his legs folded. Rin happily rest her head against Sesshomaru's legs and wraps his fluffy cloak around her small body. "Tell me, why do you both have yet to rest?"
"Well Rin wanted to wait until your return safely so I wanted to give her some company," Miroku explained.
"I see, I thank you for that,"
"It was no trouble, so, what business did you have to take care of?" Miroku asked with a sly look in his features, curiosity getting to him. "Could Sesshomaru be secretly having a lover?"
"Quite possible," Sesshomaru says as he remembered his intimate encounter with his demon.
Like a giddy teenager waiting to hear the next juicy gossip, Miroku sat beside Sesshomaru while placing the lit candle in between them. "Who is the lucky girl?" Miroku asked, "Is she beautiful? Is she a demon? Does she want to bare your children?"
"Lord Sesshomaru, what does bare mean?" Rin asked innocently.
"Try to rest Rin," Sesshomaru said, running his hands through her hair while at the same time trying to cover her ears. "We shouldn't speak of such things in front of her."
"Damn…well let's just keep our conversation clean for now," Miroku suggested still wanting to hear the gossip.
"Agreed," Sesshomaru nodded in agreement.
"Lord Sesshomaru, can I see your charm?" Rin asked, noticing that the small jewel started to dimly glow. Sesshomaru removed the charm from his own neck and gave it to Rin without glancing at it. Miroku didn't seem to notice the charm, he kept his intense gaze on Sesshomaru instead.
"So, what's she like?" Miroku asked, already getting anxious.
"He's a spiteful demon that gets under my skin," Sesshomaru started.
"He?" Miroku questioned. He never knew Sesshomaru preferred men before. This indeed is some juicy gossip.
"When we first encountered he was daring and seemed to have a playful nature to him," Sesshomaru continued, remembering how different Naraku was in the beginning. "But his person has changed as we kept seeing each other. He's spiteful, yet he's shy and a very timid creature,"
"I see," Miroku says, cupping his own chin thoughtfully. "How long have you been lovers? Do you remember being with him before the accident?"
"He claims we have been together for a long time, but I still have no memory of him. There's something odd about him that makes me suspicious,"
Miroku furrowed his eyebrows, "Has he provided you proof of being together?"
"…He hasn't," Sesshomaru says, narrowing his eyes. Now that he thinks about it, he doesn't remember ever mentioning to Naraku that he was sheltering with Inuyasha.
"If we go on, your brother might get worried," he remembered Naraku saying. How did the demon know he was with Inuyasha? Has he been spying on him?
"I'm sorry if I'm out of line here but I think you're being tricked," Miroku said, causing Sesshomaru eyes to widen a little, not enough for Miroku to notice though. "You are a power demon that rules over the western land, that guy is probably trying to take some of that power from you."
Sesshomaru's eyes shift angrily at the realization. No, it can't be true that this demon is trying to take his power from him. Sesshomaru's chest tightened uncomfortably at the thought of being played with. "…It…can't be," he says, trying to convince himself.
"… But hey I could be wrong!" Miroku says, waving his hands over his face, "maybe he is your lover, you never know…frankly I wouldn't know about your love life, you weren't a very open *[cough's]* or kind *[cough's]* person before you lost your memory. Maybe he is the real deal?"
"…You're probably right," Sesshomaru says, his angry look softening up. Memories of Naraku tearing up came to mind, who would fake such sincere tears? "Still, I shouldn't keep my guard down, I'll be more cautious from now on,"
"I agree with you," Miroku nodded, glad to see that the demon has calmed down. "…Can I ask what his name is?" he asked, curious to know who this mystery man is.
"Of course, he's known as Nara-"
"Lord Sesshomaru!" A voice yelled, practically shaking the whole village awake with its high pitched sound. "Lord Sesshomaru I've been searching all over for you, how can you leave me alone with these insolent humans?!" Jaken cried as he ran towards his master and threw himself, sobbing, on the demons lap. Everyone in the room awoke from the loud noise, all except for Shippo, Kirara, and Rin, who has fallen asleep a while ago with Sesshomaru's charm in her hand.
"Will you shut up already?!" Inuyasha growled, rubbing at his tired eyes while glaring at Jaken.
"You practically woke up the whole village!" Sango scolded.
"I don't care about you humans! As long as I'm with me Lord," Jaken said, tightly embracing Sesshomaru's leg.
"I apologies for his rudeness, I shall deal with him in the morning," Sesshomaru assured, glaring down at Jaken.
"AH! I'm so sorry me Lord, I won't do it again!" Jaken said, getting on his knees and bowing his head furiously.
Sesshomaru glares at the green demon before glancing back at Miroku. "We shall continue our conversation another day,"
