InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Away From the Dark ❯ Chapter 2

Chapter Two

 

Naraku's hand moved to slap Sesshomaru but the latter was too quick. He grabbed him by the wrist.

 

“Naraku,” Sesshomaru said in a stern tone. “I don't want to do this tonight.”

 

“Maybe you don't,” he laughed, “but I do.” He managed to force Sesshomaru onto the bed.

 

No, I can't let Naraku get the better of me.

 

Sesshomaru used every ounce of strength he had to push the body off of him. He stood up.

 

“I said no!” His anger was clearly showing. But no matter how angry he got, it was only a mask. A mask to cover up the fear he felt. Sure Sesshomaru tried to bury it deep within himself, but it still existed. He cursed himself for that fear, that weakness, everyday.

 

He yanked Sesshomaru to him so that they were inches apart. “What you say does not matter…”

 

Sesshomaru growled at him then in a flash, and much to both of their surprise, he had Naraku pinned against the wall. His wrists were pinned next to his head, his body covered by the other's preventing most movement. Sesshomaru smirked inwardly at what he had accomplished.

 

Sesshomaru leaned in and whispered in his ear. “You bastard, how does it feel to have the tables turned?”

 

“Go ahead and have your fun today, for tomorrow is a new day and I'm sure you'll find that your actions have consequences.”

 

He knew that was true. Sesshomaru's grip loosened ever so slightly which he instantly regretted. In that split second, Naraku was able to free his body and shove Sesshomaru to the floor. He sat up. Naraku raised his hand like he was going to backhand him so he shut his eyes in preparation for the hit that was to come. It never did. His eyelids opened to reveal Naraku leaving the room. To say he was confused was an understatement but he'd go with it. He got up, wondering why Naraku seemed to let him off easily…He knew that it was only for tonight though. Naraku was right, tomorrow would be a new day where anything could happen.

 

He wants me to be scared for tomorrow.

 

He sighed with that realization and picked himself up off the floor. Silently, he too left the bedroom. He walked down the hallway and quietly opened another door. Closing the door behind him, he walked up to his sleeping daughter and sat on her bed. He brushed a few strands of hair away from her face.

 

Why do I stay? He looked at the peaceful face of his sleeping daughter and sighed. I love him. I love that fucking bastard. Rin…I hope this isn't the kind of love you discover…

 

XXXXXX

 

The next day Sesshomaru's morning started with him waking up sitting on Rin's bed. He was leaning against the wall. He looked over to see his daughter still asleep. He carefully stood up and walked to his bedroom. He had to get ready and go to work. Naraku wasn't in their room and he was glad for it. He didn't want to fight, especially so early in the morning. After he took a shower and got dressed he woke Rin up so she would get dressed for school.

 

He drove her to school then went to work and parked. He didn't get out right away.

 

“Fuck,” he mumbled. “I'm not in the mood for this.”

 

XXXXXX

 

“Hey Sesshomaru! Did you finish up yet?”

 

“Yes Bankotsu,” Sesshomaru answered. “Here.” He hand the papers to his boss. He hated the man but who liked their boss anyways? It also didn't help that Bankotsu was a friend of Naraku's.

 

“Okay. You can go home now.”

 

“So early?”

 

“Yes, I'm being kind and letting you leave early. Or do you want overtime?” Well, actually… “Now, see you on Friday.”

 

“Yes, Bankotsu.”

 

As Sesshomaru walked back to his car his mind went to tonight. Of all the days to be let off early…doesn't help that I have tomorrow off either. What luck.

 

It was only three when he got home. Naraku wouldn't be home for at least an hour and Rin would be home at five. Since Naraku and Sesshomaru were rarely home when Rin got out of school, Sesshomaru's friend Kagura picked her up and watched her. Sesshomaru went upstairs and changed. When he came back down he sat on the couch. He groaned almost immediately.

 

Guess he got off early too.

 

He didn't move as Naraku walked through the door or when he was standing next to him. Sesshomaru stared directly into his eyes.

 

“Time for your punishment, my naughty little pet,” Naraku smirked. He pulled Sesshomaru up. “Just remember, you deserve this.” He didn't respond. “Say it. Tell me what you deserve.”

 

“Punishment…” he mumbled quietly.

 

“Speak up, pet.”

 

“I deserve any and all punishment you give me.”

 

“And why is that?”

 

Sesshomaru grit his teeth. He wanted nothing more than to knock him out again but deep down Sesshomaru knew that he did indeed deserve this. “Because I have been bad and disobeyed you.”

 

“Yes…you know exactly what you did. Come now. I don't think what I have in store for you is appropriate in the living room.”

 

“Where are we going?”

 

“Up to our bedroom.”

 

Once they reached it, Naraku threw Sesshomaru to the floor with all his might. Sesshomaru was about to get up and fight back but then he remembered the cruel man's words.

 

I can't fight. This is punishment for what I did yesterday…I deserve this.

 

Naraku crouched down next to him. “Are you going to be a good pet from now on?” he asked.

 

“Yes.”

 

“You won't hit me like that again, will you?”

 

“No.”

 

He patted the top of his head like a dog. “Good. Perhaps I'll go easy on you tonight…” Sesshomaru knew better than to get hopeful. “But then how would you truly learn anything that way?” And for good reason too.

 

He slapped him then stood up. Sesshomaru didn't move, he just stayed leaning on one arm. Naraku kicked that arm and he fell onto his back. The dark-haired male laughed then stood over him with a leg on either side of him. He pulled him up and dragged him to onto the bed.

 

“Stay,” he demanded. When he came back he had two things, a leash and handcuffs. He put the strong leash around Sesshomaru's neck and tied it to the bed. Now he definitely wouldn't be able to escape. He put the handcuffs on next. Sesshomaru shivered slightly as the cold metal made contact with his bare skin. From there Naraku proceeded to hit and kick the man. Sesshomaru refused to cry out in pain. He'd take this like a man and not whine for him to stop.

 

It's not like this is the first time anyways.

 

After what had felt like an eternity, both men heard the front door open. They immediately knew who it was.

 

“Rin…” Sesshomaru whispered.

 

“Be silent,” Naraku ordered as he went out to greet the girl. Sesshomaru could hear their conversation.

 

“Hi Daddy,” the little girl said.

 

“Hi. How was your day?”

 

“Good. We had a new student in class today. Where's Papa?”

 

“Oh him? He's upstairs resting. He's not feeling well today so he had to come home from work early.”

 

“Oh. Can I go see how he is?”

 

“Maybe later but not right now. Let him rest, okay? I'll tell him you want to see him though.”

 

“Okay!”

 

“Now go do your homework.”

 

“I will.”

 

Once she was gone, Naraku returned to where Sesshomaru was.

 

His behavior is so different in front of her, Sesshomaru thought. Well, that's a good thing. He's at least good to her. That's all that's important.

 

“Now where were we?”

 

That cold voice brought him out of his thoughts.

 

“Ah, yes,” Naraku continued. “There's one last thing before I'm through with you. You were supposed to do something last night. Something you failed to do. Oh, you do know what I'm talking about right? You can still serve your purpose.”

 

Sesshomaru knew all too well what he was talking about. He closed his eyes in anticipation as he walked up to his body. He wasn't looking forward to what was about to come. He tried to think of other things as he felt his pants being ripped off and Naraku's hand brush against his exposed leg. He didn't want this but he still didn't make a sound.

 

“Don't try and act like you don't enjoy it,” Naraku whispered. “You crave it like a drug.”

 

And with that, Naraku entered him. Sesshomaru felt like he was being ripped apart at being so roughly entered. This was too much…no more pain, not tonight.

 

“Uhnn, Naraku,” Sesshomaru quietly groaned. Naraku knew better then to mistake it for a groan of pleasure. He knew he was causing him pain but he also knew that he wouldn't lower himself to begging unless…what he was being put through was just that painful.

 

Hehe, if he begs then I might consider letting him go. “Do you like that? Huh?”

 

“N…no. St…”

 

“What was that? Did you say something?” He began moving at a fast pace.

 

Sesshomaru hated himself for what he was about to do. But the only reason he was going to was because he didn't think his body (or mind) could handle anymore.

 

“Naraku…st-stop…” And he did. Not because he wanted to actually listen to him but because he was so surprised. He was about to ignore him but then he remembered the deal he had just made with himself.

 

You're lucky I'm so nice Sesshomaru. He reluctantly pulled out and put his clothes back on. He quickly and quietly undid both the leash and handcuffs. He left the room without a word.

 

To say Sesshomaru was surprised was an understatement. Never had he expected Naraku to actually listen to him. He wondered what had suddenly happened with Naraku. He got up and put his clothes on as fast as he could in case Naraku changed his mind and came back. He was thoroughly disgusted for lowering himself in such a way. He did not beg…well apparently he did when he was desperate.

 

I need to get out of here for now…

 

He walked silently down the stairs and grabbed his car keys. It would be okay to leave just Naraku and Rin here. He had almost successfully left without attracting their attention when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and golden eyes met crimson. They stared at each other for a few more moments before Sesshomaru opened the door and left.

 

He thought of where he could go as he drove. Jaken's? Yeah…no thanks. Kagura's? Yes, she won't mind. I'll go there for a while and go home later tonight.

 

With that thought in mind, Sesshomaru sped off towards his friend Kagura's house.
