Chapter Eight

 

Sesshomaru got out of his car and walked into his house. Naraku was probably mad at him for some stupid reason but he didn't hesitate in going inside and seeing him. He just wanted this night to be over with.

 

He soon ran into Naraku. They stood there staring at each other. Naraku was the first to move and he pinned Sesshomaru to the wall harshly. He only said one thing. “Hurry up and get ready. Otherwise we'll be late,” he whispered into Sesshomaru's ear. Then he let him go and went into the other room.

 

Sesshomaru went upstairs silently. He showered, got dressed, and was completely ready to go within a half hour. Naraku was already done. He grabbed his keys and the two of them left.

They walked to the door in silence. Jakotsu was the one to let them in.

 

“Hey, Naraku,” he said happily. He hugged Naraku. His eyes darted to Sesshomaru. “Ooh, and hey Sesshomaru.” He moved to hug him but Sesshomaru glared at him. Jakotsu smirked but he didn't touch him.

 

After a couple hours, Sesshomaru managed to escape alone to the front yard. There were very few people out there and thankfully they weren't noisy like everyone inside. Sesshomaru wanted to go home. Jakotsu followed him half the night trying to get him in a bedroom, Bankotsu harassed him about not going to work in front of Naraku because “Sesshomaru never missed,” and then the rest of their brothers wouldn't leave him alone. He sighed loudly and sat down.

 

“You look stressed.”

 

Sesshomaru instantly looked up. He didn't recognize the voice. It was a man with jet-black hair and piercing green eyes.

 

“Excuse me?” Sesshomaru asked, wishing that Jakotsu's friends would just leave him alone.

 

“I said you looked stressed. Not liking the crowd inside?”

 

“Um, who are you?”

 

“Oh, forgive me. My name is Ah-Un.” He stuck his hand out.

 

“I'm Sesshomaru.” He shook it.

 

“Mind if I sit down?”

 

“I guess not…”

 

This strange man sat down and then pulled something out of his pocket. Sesshomaru saw that it was a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Ah-Un lit one up then noticed that he was being stared at.

 

“Oh, do you want one?” he offered.

 

Sesshomaru shook his head. “I don't smoke.”

 

“Do you mind if I do?”

 

“No.”

 

“…You don't talk much, do you?”

 

“What was your first clue?”

 

The guy smiled, not discouraged in the slightest by Sesshomaru's somewhat cold tone. “So how do you know the host of this lovely party?”

 

Sesshomaru could hear the sarcasm towards the end. He wasn't really in the mood to talk. Well, it's either stay out here and talk to this guy or go back in and talk to Jakotsu. The choice was an easy one.

 

“He's my husband's friend and boss.”

 

“Which guy here is your husband?”

 

“Naraku.”

 

“Oh, I know him.” By his tone he could tell that Ah-Un wasn't a huge fan of Naraku's. He probably didn't like Jakotsu too much either.

 

“How do you know Jakotsu? Or Naraku for that matter.”

 

“Work. Honestly, I don't even like Jakotsu but he pretty much made me come. The only reason I stay at that job is because the pay's good.” He took a long drag from his cigarette.

 

Sesshomaru sighed. “Yeah, I don't like him either.” This guy better not be fucking with me. “He…he's such a man slut.” Did I really just say that?

 

Ah-Un laughed. “Ugh, that is so true. My last boyfriend was scared of him because of it.”

 

This guy seemed okay but Sesshomaru still didn't trust him. He was better than the rest of the people there though so why not talk to him? Damn…this night was torture up until now. “Hey, Ah-Un. On second thought, light me up a smoke.”

 

“Coming from the guy who just told me no?” But he did it regardless.

 

Sesshomaru shrugged. “I'm stressed.”

 

“What's a pretty boy like you stressed out about anyways? Besides being here, I mean.”

 

“I don't think it's any of your concern.”

 

“I was just wondering.”

 

“Oh. Well, it's nothing…”

 

Sesshomaru and Ah-Un talked for a long time after that. They talked about work, men, and all the Shichinintai brothers. They stayed together until Naraku decided it was time to go. Naraku found the two of them sitting down together.

 

“Sesshomaru, let's go,” Naraku ordered. His gaze shifted. “Ah-Un.”

 

“Naraku,” Ah-Un stated lazily.

 

“Come on. I shouldn't have to tell you twice.”

 

Sesshomaru got angry. How dare he order him around and make him feel so inferior in front of other people. He was embarrassed by Naraku's tone too. “Don't boss me around. I'm not your bitch.”

 

His husband sneered. “Oh yeah? Feeling defiant in front of all these people? Stop pretending, you're my bitch and you'll do what I say.” He got inches from Sesshomaru's face. “I dare you to not do as you're told.” Naraku then turned and headed for the way out. “Come. Now.”

 

Sesshomaru looked around. Some people were looking at him and he could hear them whispering. He was aware that Ah-Un was among the spectators. He felt horribly embarrassed. He started following Naraku when a hand on his shoulder stopped him. He turned around meeting fierce green eyes with his own gold ones.

 

“Now I know why you were outside alone,” Ah-Un muttered. “Don't let him get to you. Fight back and show him you won't be controlled.”

 

If only it were that easy. “Yeah…”

 

“Here. See ya, Sesshomaru.” He handed him a small slip of paper. Sesshomaru looked at him questioningly. “Call me sometime. Maybe we can meet up again…as friends. Don't worry, I'm not trying to get a date with you.”

 

Sesshomaru let a small smile grace his features. “Okay, I will. Bye, Ah-Un.”

 

Sesshomaru found Naraku waiting impatiently in the car. He pocketed the black-haired man's number and got in. He was pissed off at Naraku. He never did that to him in public. He made Sesshomaru look like some weak bitch back there in front of all Naraku's friends.

 

“You didn't have to tell me to leave like that,” Sesshomaru said through gritted teeth.

 

“You wouldn't have listened otherwise,” Naraku sneered.

 

“You embarrassed me. Why did you do that?!”

 

“Don't get bitchy about it.”

 

“I can't help it when you're being an asshole!”

 

“What the fuck has gotten into you lately? You're acting like you have some sort of power. You've never acted like this before. Do I have to put you in your fucking place tonight?!”

 

I don't want to be punished… But Ah-Un's words rang in his head too. “Fight back and show him you won't be controlled.” He knew what he had to do though.

 

“No, you don't have to do anything tonight…”

 

“Yeah, that's what I thought. But if you keep acting like this I'll have to do something about it. Got that?”

 

“Yes.”

 

The rest of the drive home was in silence. Naraku went upstairs without a word but Sesshomaru was grateful for it. He got a blanket and lied down on the couch. Hopefully Naraku wouldn't get him and force him to go upstairs. Luckily for Sesshomaru, he didn't.

Who the hell is that?

 

That was Sesshomaru's first thought in the morning. His phone was ringing loudly from its place on the table. He grabbed it and answered having an idea as to who would call him this early.

 

“Hello?” he yawned.

 

“Hey, Sesshomaru. Did I wake you?”

 

He was right. Kagura. “Yes, actually, you did.”

 

“Oh, sorry.”

 

“Don't worry about it. What's up?”

 

“Oh, a couple of my siblings are coming over today and I was wondering if you wanted to come too.”

 

“Which ones?”

 

“Kanna and Moryomaru.”

 

“Okay. What time?”

 

“Around noon. If you want to come sooner though, you know you're welcome to.”

 

“Okay, I'll probably come around eleven-thirty or noon then. Bye, Kagura.”

 

“See ya.”

 

He hung up then stood and stretched. He was all for going to Kagura's but there was just one problem…leaving without making Naraku angry. Since he went there all the time Naraku might tell him to stay home. He'd think about getting around Naraku during a shower.

Luck was definitely on Sesshomaru's side today. As the hot water spilled over him he remembered the conversation that took place just a little bit ago.

 

“Sesshomaru, I'm having some people over in the afternoon,” Naraku told him. “Don't you have anything to do today?”

 

“If you want me to leave then I will,” Sesshomaru said without trying to sound happy.

 

“Yeah, do that.”

 

“Okay. What time are they coming over?”

 

“Around eleven.”

 

“I'll be gone before then.”

 

Sesshomaru smiled to himself. He avoided an entire fight. He got dressed and before he knew it, it was time for him to go.

 

“Bye, Naraku,” he said.

 

“See you later, Sesshomaru. You know that you're the one who's going to pick up Rin.”

 

“Yes, I know.”

 

He left. Picking her up would be easy now since she would be right next-door. Sesshomaru had a feeling that this day was going to be a good one.

Oh no, the family from hell is coming! Since Sess is such a loner in the manga I couldn't think of anyone who he could befriend. Then that damn dragon thing popped into my head so I was like “oh, hey!” Anyways…I promise Inuyasha will be in the next chapter. =D
