Chapter Twenty-Nine

 

“I'm sick of you running around without permission,” Naraku growled. Both he and Sesshomaru were standing in their bedroom. The younger one stood quietly waiting for his punishment. He was trying to fight back the terror he was feeling but failing. “That's why you're not allowed to leave this house without me from now on.” He waited for Sesshomaru's reaction.

 

Sesshomaru bit his lip and closed his eyes. He couldn't say anything otherwise he'd be punished even worse.

 

“Aside from work, of course. You also aren't allowed to have your cell phone with you anymore. Hand it over.”

 

He reached into his pocket and gave his phone to Naraku. Long ago he had made it a habit to delete all his calls and texts often. He had erased everything just before he came home.

 

“You can't talk to anyone I don't approve of so don't expect to talk to Kagura or the men you fuck behind my back for a very long time. You are to listen to every command I give you, you've been slacking in this for a while now. If you fail to do anything I order then I'll have no choice but to discipline you. I've talked to Bankotsu about your work schedule and he's agreed to let you get off at four from now on. I expect you to be ready for me when I get home from work. Don't you dare complain to me about anything. And as punishment for all your behavior these last few days, you're not able to eat or drink until I tell you to. Understand?”

 

Sesshomaru nodded silently but then yelped as he was smacked across the face.

 

“You will always respond with an answer I can hear, you whore. Now, understand?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Remember what I used to make you call me a couple years ago?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“You are to refer to me by that from now on when we aren't in front of people who would be suspicious of it.”

 

“Y-yes, master.”

Sesshomaru's stomach growled. It was the middle of the night and he hadn't eaten anything since he had been at Inuyasha's house. Naraku had never deprived him of food or drink before. He hoped this would end soon, he was already so hungry and thirsty. He also hoped Inuyasha didn't call or text him. Naraku was probably carrying his phone around waiting to see who would call Sesshomaru. He'd have to call him at work tomorrow without Bankotsu noticing and tell him not to call him. His body also felt sore. Naraku had fucked him to remind him whom he belonged to. He shivered and tried to get comfortable. It was once again a cold night in February but Naraku told him he wasn't allowed to have any blankets or even pajama pants. He curled into himself and desperately tried to fall asleep so he wouldn't have to think or feel any longer.

Bankotsu walked into Sesshomaru's office the next day. Sesshomaru simply stared at him waiting for him to speak.

 

“Naraku wanted me to watch you today,” Bankotsu told him. “He said that if I see you on the phone or eating or drinking anything then I'm supposed to let him know. I'm not going to question what that's about but you should know that I will tell him.”

 

“I need to use the phone while I'm working.”

 

“Not anymore. There's plenty for you to do that doesn't require a phone. Now get back to work.”

 

Sesshomaru glared at his back before going back to the papers in front of him. He knew his boss would tell Naraku if he broke any of his rules. He'd have to sneak around when Bankotsu went to lunch. That would be his opportunity to call Inuyasha and eat something.

 

Bankotsu didn't leave until almost two. Sesshomaru watched him go from the window then quickly left downstairs. He left the building and went to buy some food. He'd be in so much trouble if he were caught. He hadn't clocked out otherwise Bankotsu would be suspicious of him clocking out at the same time as him. He was back in twenty minutes. He ate something and called Inuyasha. He made up a lie about his phone breaking and that was why he couldn't call him. They both knew Sesshomaru was lying but Inuyasha went along with it. Two hours later, Sesshomaru was driving home. Naraku was already there when he pulled up.

 

Naraku smiled evilly at him once he stepped inside. “No one's here,” he informed him. “Rin won't be home for a few hours still. Now strip!”

 

Sesshomaru quickly peeled his clothes off so Naraku wouldn't get angry. He cried out when his hair was grabbed viciously. Naraku dragged him to the bathroom and forced him to kneel in front of the toilet. He closed his eyes knowing what would happen next. He should have seen this coming, now he'd be punished.

 

Naraku stuck his fingers down Sesshomaru's throat. He gagged a few times before throwing up the small amount of food he had eaten earlier.

 

“You fucking bitch!” Naraku screamed. “You already broke my rules.”

 

Sesshomaru was crying by the time he was done spilling the contents of his stomach.

 

“I knew you'd pull something like this. Stand up.” He obeyed. “Hm, now what should I do to you? I was going to let you eat tomorrow but you blew that…okay. Stay here.” Naraku left and then came back with a leash and collar. He put the black leather collar tightly around Sesshomaru's neck then attached the leash. He kicked his knees so he'd fall to the floor. “You're not allowed to walk unless I order you to. Come.” He yanked hard on the leash before going up to their bedroom. He walked into the bathroom and turned the water on in the tub.

 

Sesshomaru sat there scared, confused, and humiliated. He wasn't sure what Naraku was up to but he was certain it would be worse then what he was used to. It was his fault. He knew the rules yet he broke them. He brought this upon himself, he always did.

 

“Get your ass over here,” Naraku demanded. He was standing over the now-filled tub.

 

Sesshomaru listened. Before he knew what was happening, his head was suddenly grabbed and pushed into the freezing water. He instantly thrashed and fought against the hands holding him under. He gasped for breath as soon as he was out of the water. Naraku smirked before dunking him under again. Just as his lungs were going to force him to suck in, he was pulled up again.

 

“This is kinda fun,” Naraku laughed then did it again.

 

He's going to kill me. I'm going to die here tonight. For a moment Sesshomaru considered purposely breathing in water. He tossed that thought away only to be pulled up and slapped across the face. He reconsidered but then decided against it again. He braced himself for another dunk in the freezing cold water.

 

“Hm, how long would it take for you pass out?”

 

The water was around him once again. He didn't bother moving. Sesshomaru wouldn't try to kill himself but if Naraku held him under a bit too long…oh well.

 

Naraku didn't deprive him of oxygen for too long though. He pulled him up for the final time before shoving him onto his back on the cold tile floor. Sesshomaru was shivering from being so cold. Naraku felt no pity for him though. He brought him over to the bed but tied him to the leg of the bed frame. He made it so the only thing Sesshomaru could do was lie on the floor. To make sure he wouldn't just untie the leash later on, Naraku bound his hands behind his back.

 

“I'll keep you tied up for the night. You're shivering. Damn, and it's supposed to be cold tonight too,” Naraku told him. “That's what you get for disobeying me though. You make me do this, Sesshomaru. Always remember that. I'm going to pick up Rin now.” Then he left Sesshomaru tied up and alone.

 

While Naraku was gone, panic tore through Sesshomaru. He couldn't free himself but what if he had too? What if something happened? What if a fire somehow started or someone broke in? He'd be fucked. He was relieved but also terrified when he heard Naraku and their daughter come through the front door. About an hour later, Rin went to her room and Naraku came back to him. He sneered at the being on the floor before kicking him in the ribs.

 

“I'm going to bed now. Don't you dare disturb me,” Naraku snarled.

 

Sesshomaru stayed up long after Naraku fell asleep. It was impossible for him to get any rest himself. He was so cold, it couldn't be healthy. He felt like crying and begging Naraku to let him onto the bed under the blankets. That would anger Naraku though and he'd succeed only in getting punished again.

 

Later on in the dead of night, Naraku woke up. He blinked a few times before looking down at Sesshomaru. He was shaking a lot now. It wouldn't do any good for his health to get all fucked up. That would look suspicious. I suppose I should reward him for not disturbing me. I've already given him his punishment for breaking my rules. “Sesshomaru, look at me.”

 

The younger man turned his head so he could see him. “Yes, master.”

 

Naraku smiled cruelly. He loved hearing those words. “You've been good, pet. I've given you your punishment already and since you haven't bothered me, I'm deciding to reward your good behavior. I won't always be so generous though.”

 

“T-thank you, master.” He couldn't help but stutter through chattering teeth.

 

Naraku got up and knelt beside Sesshomaru. He untied his hands and took off the collar. “You can dress and then come into bed. Don't touch me though, your skin is like ice.”

 

Sesshomaru quickly went to his drawer and pulled on boxers, pajama pants, and a t-shirt. He lied down and wrapped himself in blankets. “Thank you, master,” he said again.

 

“You're welcome, pet,” Naraku said as he too got back into bed. Maybe you'll break more rules so I can do something like that again.

 

Sesshomaru's body still shook for a long time after that but eventually his body warmed up enough so that he could fall asleep. He was grateful to not have to feel anything for the next few hours.

Sesshomaru groaned as he woke up. He felt cold, weak, and had an awful headache. The last two things were from the lack of food and decent sleep. It was going to be a long day. Only one day so far and already he was reaching his limit. He tried not to think as he got dressed. It was impossible to detach himself completely though. As he drove to work, he wondered if his life would always remain this way or if he would escape.

 

Either by divorce or through death.

Sesshomaru forced himself through another day of work. Bankotsu still kept a close eye on him but only until he left for lunch. Sesshomaru didn't dare try to eat again. He was so exhausted though and his thirst was becoming almost unbearable. He walked into the restroom to splash water on his face in an attempt to wake him up a bit. He was so thirsty…this water…

 

It disgusted him but he was desperate so he cupped his hands and drank the water from the sink. Even though it was gross, he felt somewhat better after drinking the water. He drank until his stomach was full and then went back to his office. He prayed that Naraku wouldn't somehow find out that he broke the rules again. His punishment would be beyond horrible. He closed his eyes and instead of screaming as loudly as he could, he settled for just a groan. Naraku would be even stricter from now on. He'd let him eat eventually but he would still continue to impose harsh rules on him. He could only imagine what would happen to him once he went home. This was going to be a long day…a long life.

 

He had to find a way out.
