Chapter Sixteen

 

Kagura didn't want him to leave. She tried to talk him out of going home multiple times and all attempts were unsuccessful. Now they were parked across the street from Sesshomaru's house.

 

“Are you sure you want to go?” Kagura asked. She already knew the answer.

 

“Yes…” he answered. “Thanks for everything.”

 

“Any time.” She pulled Sesshomaru closer to her. He closed his eyes and hugged her back. “Don't hesitate in calling if you need anything, okay?”

 

“Okay.”

 

She didn't want to let him go. When she did he would go home to face that bastard. She kissed the top of his head and his cheek multiple times. He rested his head on her shoulder and they stayed still for a few moments. Sesshomaru reluctantly pulled away. “I'll see you later, Sessh.”

 

He nodded. “See ya, Kagura.”

 

She left after he walked through his front door. She hated herself for what she just did. If he got hit now it would be her fault. She was the one who practically gave him to Naraku. She would call Byakuya as soon as she came home. She'd tell him to come over because she needed to talk to someone in person.

Sesshomaru cautiously walked into his house. He was truly afraid of what would happen to him. It was still morning though and he came back on time. But who knew if Naraku would still be angry with him. He didn't see Naraku downstairs so he went to their bedroom. The black-haired man had just finished getting dressed. Sesshomaru froze in the doorway unsure if Naraku wanted him near him.

 

Naraku stared at him for a second. “Come here,” he ordered. He watched as Sesshomaru slowly made his way over. He couldn't walk normally and all the muscles in his body hurt. He eventually reached him but didn't say a word. “Have you learned your lesson?” He nodded. “What was that? I couldn't hear you.” He put his hand roughly on his back to bring him closer.

 

“Yes, I have,” Sesshomaru cried. No more pain…

 

“Good. Though you'll have to prove that before tonight.”

 

“I will…”

 

“Get dressed. We're going to buy you some new clothes for tonight. I don't want you embarrassing me.”

 

Sesshomaru was able to get ready but it drained a lot of energy from him. He didn't have nearly as much as he usually would. He wasn't sure he'd be able to get through this day and go to that fucking `business gathering.' He'd have to try though. Naraku would get mad otherwise.

“Kagura? What's wrong?” Byakuya asked into the phone.

 

“Are you busy today? Can you come over?” she asked.

 

“I can. I'll be there in a little bit.” He knew why she wanted to see him. It was about Sesshomaru.

 

“Okay, bye.”

 

“Bye.” He hung up and told his wife that he was going to his sister's again. He drove there as fast as safely possible. When he got to Kagura's he immediately sat next to her and gathered her in his arms.

 

“I'm horrible,” she mumbled.

 

“No, you're not,” he told her.

 

“Yes, I am. I let him go. I gave him to that bastard!”

 

“Let him? Kagura, he's a grown man. He makes his own decisions.”

 

“It's not that simple. I don't know what to do…Naraku has been doing things like this to him since Rin was two. I tried talking to him…about leaving Naraku but he wouldn't.” She finally broke down and let fall all the tears she had been holding back since last night.

 

“If he was truly unhappy then don't you think he'd do something about it? I mean Sesshomaru is just as strong, if not stronger, then Naraku. He can easily defend himself.”

 

“No. He used to when it first started. He's practically brainwashed now. He's terrified, he doesn't know what to do. I don't know what to do.”

 

“Did he ask you to help him? Did he say `I want to leave Naraku'?”

 

“No but…”

 

“Like I said, he's an adult. If he wanted to leave, he'd do it. It's none of our business nor is it our place to do anything drastic without Sesshomaru's permission.”

 

“I can't just leave him. You weren't here last night, only when we picked him up.”

 

“I don't think you should do anything unless he wants you to.”

 

Kagura just couldn't help but think how much that sounded like the wrong thing to do.

Sesshomaru and Naraku were in the car. Sesshomaru just closed his eyes and rested back against the seat. He was tired already and they had only left the house a few minutes ago.

 

“Did you go to Kagura's?” Naraku suddenly asked.

 

“Yes,” he answered quietly.

 

Naraku knew he did. He always did. He wondered if she knew what he did to Sesshomaru, not that it really concerned him. When push came to shove, he knew Kagura wouldn't do anything to him directly. She'd try to convince Sesshomaru to leave him but that would be it. She probably didn't know everything either since that would require Sesshomaru telling her. Naraku was confident that his bitch wouldn't say anything.

 

What would he do if he found out that Kagura knew everything?

 

“What time is it at?” Sesshomaru asked.

 

“We'll go at eight. It's at the same building I work at.”

 

They reached the first store and parked. Naraku noticed that Sesshomaru was still walking strangely.

 

This won't do at all. “Here, lean on me a bit,” he ordered. “People will suspect something if you're limping all over the place.”

 

Sesshomaru silently wrapped his arm around Naraku's waist and leaned on him a little. It helped since he could rest some of his weight on his husband.

 

“Now let's go find you some decent clothes. I can't have you there in jeans and a t-shirt.”

 

Naraku settled on just getting him something simple. He got him a nice-fitting black button up shirt and gray pants. It looked good with his long white hair. When they left it was already the afternoon. Time was going way too fast for Sesshomaru since he didn't want to go tonight. At least Naraku was being nice. He hadn't yelled at him or anything.

 

Soon it was time for them to get ready. Naraku and Sesshomaru were walking up the stairs. Naraku pushed on the other's back to make him move faster but almost pulled his hand back when Sesshomaru cried out.

 

“Please, don't touch my back. It's sore.”

 

Naraku debated on whether or not to listen. He took his hand off though. Sesshomaru was being a good boy today so there was no need to hurt him.

 

They left around eight. They hadn't even gotten there yet and already Sesshomaru was wishing it were over. There weren't quite as many people there as last weekend. It was only the people Sesshomaru hated the most. They were all so fake. Except Jakotsu. Jakotsu acted completely like himself. That was the scary thing. Jakotsu immediately laid eyes on Sesshomaru and he knew in that instant that he would be getting no peace tonight.

 

He stayed near Naraku for the first hour. A couple guys wanted to take Naraku though to go look at some new business plan. Sesshomaru didn't want to go so he excused himself saying he was going to use the restroom. Instead he went to the empty side of the building and walked the empty halls. At least he was alone. He stopped and rested against one of the walls to regain some strength. He heard someone coming.

 

“What do you want, Jakotsu?” Sesshomaru called out coldly.

 

“Aww, so mean,” Jakotsu pouted. “I just wanted to say hi.”

 

“Well, I came here to be alone and now you're ruining it.”

 

Jakotsu walked closer to him. “Now that's no way to treat someone who only wants to have a good time with you.”

 

Sesshomaru didn't like the way that sounded nor did he like how Jakotsu kept getting closer and closer to him. “Get away from me.” He moved to leave but then Jakotsu quickly put both his arms on either side of Sesshomaru. He leaned his body until it was practically touching his, pinning him in place. If Sesshomaru had all his strength he would've been able to get away.

 

“No, I like where I am right now.”

 

Sesshomaru was getting nervous but desperately tried to hide it. “You bastard.” That resulted in Jakotsu pressing his body harder into Sesshomaru's.

 

“No name calling. Am I going to have to teach you a lesson?”

 

Before he could answer, Jakotsu's lips were on his. Sesshomaru went wide-eyed and began thrashing as hard as he possibly could. What the fuck was this pervert doing?!

 

“Sesshomaru.” Jakotsu tore his lips away and both he and Sesshomaru turned towards the source of the voice.

 

“Naraku!” Sesshomaru said, sounding almost grateful. Jakotsu pulled away from him.

 

“What's going on here?” he asked as Sesshomaru came up to him.

 

“That bastard followed me here. He forced that kiss on me! I didn't want it, I promise.”

 

“Naraku,” Jakotsu suddenly said. “You know how it is. I just couldn't resist.”

 

“Understandable.” Sesshomaru was shocked. Jakotsu had just forced himself on him and it was understandable?!

 

“But-but Naraku…” Sesshomaru mumbled.

 

“Stop acting like a child, Sesshomaru. You should be flattered that someone besides me actually likes you.”

 

Jakotsu came up behind him. “Yeah, and I like you a lot.”

 

Sesshomaru couldn't believe what was happening. He tried to get away from Jakotsu but Naraku wouldn't let him. “Naraku, let me go.”

 

“No.”

 

“Naraku! Stop! Both of you!”

 

Sesshomaru would be damned before he let anything like this happen. Naraku did this to him sometimes but it was different when it was Jakotsu. He turned around to face Jakotsu and pushed him away. Then he turned back to Naraku.

 

“I can't believe you'd let him do anything to me!”

 

“You shouldn't be disobeying me!”

 

Sesshomaru was angry. Naraku was supposed to love him, not let some other guy just come and do what he pleased to Sesshomaru.

 

“You're supposed to love me!” Then Sesshomaru lifted his hand and slapped Naraku across the face. It was unclear who was more shocked, Naraku for being hit or Sesshomaru for actually doing the hitting. Sesshomaru stared at him for a second before using the rest of his strength to run out of there. Naraku turned furious and was about to chase him down but a hand on his arm stopped him.

 

“Just let him go,” Jakotsu told him. Naraku took one last look in the direction Sesshomaru had gone before going back to the meeting with Jakotsu.

Sesshomaru was walking the streets alone. He was still mad at Naraku for allowing Jakotsu to kiss him like that. He had never intended to slap Naraku, it happened more spur of the moment. He felt strangely satisfied with Naraku's shocked face but he knew he would get punished later. He ignored that for now as he continued to walk. He didn't know where to go. Kagura had told him to call her if he needed to but he didn't want to bother her again so soon.

 

He sighed to himself. He looked at all the cars. It was Saturday night so a lot of people were out. Among them he noticed the red truck that was so familiar. He smiled when it parked a little ways ahead of him. He found where he was going to go for the rest of his time out.
