Chapter 3
Sesshoumaru sat on his sofa watching TV trying to ignore the burning stare the bunny was giving him. He had tried to give Naraku orange slices as a reward but the rabbit refused to ear.
He just sat on the table watching him. After half an hour he started tapping his tiny foot against the platform.
When that didn't work he jumped onto the silvernetts belly. It must have felt like punch because Sesshoumaru bent over gripping his stomach.
"That was uncalled for." He gasped.
Naraku just glared at him. His pink eyes sent daggers into the other.
"I said I might turn you back. You still haven't paid off your dept." He grabbed Naraku by his ears again. "If you do that again I'll neuter you." The silver man warned.
He placed the bunny on the sofa next to him. Gently he rubbed Naraku's head and under his chin.
"Rest up, tomorrow we have another show."
Naraku laid down. His cries came out as soft whimpers. He laid there next to Sesshoumaru till he fell asleep.
Seeing the rabbit asleep Sesshoumaru sighed. "I'm sorry." He whispered.
When Naraku woke up again he found himself in Sesshoumaru's dressing room. The magician must have moved him in his sleep again.
Yawing he hopped over to the water and food dish. The first day he had refused to eat the rabbit store flakes so Sesshoumaru gave him lettuce, tomatoes and other vegetables to eat.
The show was the same as the last one. Naraku was less nervous this time and he kind of enjoyed it a little. Sesshoumaru was right; it did feel good to be a star.
"Another amazing show." Sesshoumaru hummed. They were back in his dressing room again. The man was gathering his things to leave.
A knock at the door caught their attention. Sesshoumaru opened.
Bankotsu was standing in the entrance holding a stack of papers.
Naraku screamed and yelled but all that came out where squeaks. He banged against the door of the cage trying to get it open.
"Hello Sir, can I have a moment of your time?" he asked.
"Sure come in."
No, stay away bae.
Bankotsu showed the tall man a picture of Naraku.
"Have you seen this man? He's my boyfriend. He's been missing for a week now. His friends told me the last night they were together they came and saw one of your shows."
Sesshoumaru took the picture and looked over. He then looked back at Naraku before turning to Bankotsu. "Yes I remember him. He and his friends caused a little trouble when they were here."
The other chuckled. "That sounds like him. He's really a good guy; it's just that sometimes he's too wild for his own good. But deep down he has a good heart. I'll pay for anything he broke."
Naraku's eyes widen. His boyfriend thought so kindly of him. Bankotus…
"Don't worry, he already paid for it."
Bankotsu lifted an eyebrow. "That doesn't sound like him. Have you seen him since then?"
"Afraid not. I don't remember too much of that night. Last I saw he ran away without paying his tab."
"Sorry" Bankotsu adverted his eyes.
Don't apologize to that bastard. He's evil.
Naraku banged against the door like a wild animal. Every hit made the cage scoot a little closer to the edge. With ten more thrust he forced the cage to fall off the table. The door snapped open and Naraku ran out. Screaming he jumped into his lovers arms.
The other was shocked when the bunny hopped onto his lap and pressed against him.
I missed you so much
Naraku rubbed his head against the other belly. He almost cried when Bankotsu petted his fur.
It's me. Can't you see it's me?
"What an affectionate rabbit. He so cute and soft."
"He seems to like you a lot." Sesshoumaru said almost annoyed.
"I wish I could get a rabbit but Naraku won't let me have any animals. He hates them."
I'll let you have all the pets you want. I promise honey. Help me, recognize me.
Naraku tried to crawl up his chest. Look into my eyes and see it's me.
"Settle down. He's so loving and hyper." Bankotsu hugged him tight.
Sesshoumaru stood up and grabbed a fighting Naraku from the other. He put him in another cage.
"Well I have to go now. I'll let you know if I see him again." He folded the picture of Naraku and put it in his pocket.
"Thank you so much. Again sorry for any trouble he might have caused. My number is on the back of the picture."
No don't leave, don't leave me here.
He wanted to cry when Seshsoumaru closed the door on Bankotsu.
Smiling the magician turned towards him. "He seems like a nice boy." He chuckled darkly before pulling Naraku back out of the cage.
"Did you think he recognize you?" the magic man laughed cruelly. "Such a shame. He is so worried about you and he'll never know he was holding you the whole time."
Naraku hissed and clawed at whatever he could but Sesshoumaru's glove and sleeve protected him.
"I hope you got a good look because that may be the last time you see him again."
He shoved the bunny back in the cage.
A few seconds later Kohaku came in.
"Ok Sesshoumaru. I backed the props on stage. All that's left is to move the stuff in your dressing room to the van."
"Excellent and my apartment?"
"Your managers stopped by and pack all your stuff. You're all ready to leave tonight."
Naraku pressed his ear against the bars. He had no idea what they were talking about.
Sesshoumaru lifted up the bunnies cage.
"Come on Naraku, we have a plain to catch."
