Chapter Thirty-One

Inuyasha moved to lay down with Sesshomaru instead of sitting up. Sesshomaru's crying had lessened. Now he was only doing it silently.

“You're exhausted,” Inuyasha told him. “Try to get some sleep.”

“I can't,” Sesshomaru said. “I-I don't want to. What if…what if Naraku comes?”

“He won't. And if he did, you're safe here with me. I won't let anything else happen to you. I promise.”

“I just…can't right now. Can we turn on the light or tv or something?”

“Of course.” He turned both on.

They lied there quietly for a while with Inuyasha holding him until Sesshomaru's crying picked up again.

“Sessh, what's the matter?” Inuyasha asked.

“W-what if Naraku comes with a bunch of friends? They'll outnumber us. Then he'll come and get me…”

“That's not going to happen. I know it's hard but try not to think about `what if.' I won't let him leave with you, I promise. I refuse to let it happen.”

Sesshomaru didn't say anything, he only hugged Inuyasha tighter. They stayed up for hours. The time passed by with tv watching, light conversation, and a lot of sobbing. Sesshomaru had made it clear that he didn't want to sleep this night. He was too afraid. He didn't know where Naraku was but he was worried that he was close by.

Finally, the sky started to brighten. It wasn't until then that Sesshomaru thought it safe enough for slumber.

“I'm sorry for keeping you up all night,” he apologized.

“You don't have to say sorry for anything. Are you ready to sleep?” Inuyasha asked.

“Yeah…”

“Come on then.” He pulled the cover over their bodies and brought Sesshomaru close to him. He stroked his hair until he drifted off. Once he was sure he was asleep, Inuyasha closed his own eyes and let unconsciousness take over.

Inuyasha woke up many times. On the fourth, he saw that Sesshomaru was also awake so he decided to get up.

“How are you feeling?” Inuyasha asked.

“My body hurts…” Sesshomaru answered softly.

“Do you want to take anything for it?”

He shook his head. “I feel dirty though. Will you…I want to take a bath…”

“Okay, I'll start the water for you.”

“Thanks.”

He nodded then got up and walked into the bathroom. After the tub was filled he helped Sesshomaru sit up. Inuyasha noticed that he winced.

“What hurts?” he asked.

“It-it hurts when I first sit up.”

“Okay, I'll be careful then. Here, let's get these clothes off.” He stripped him down then picked him up and put in him the tub.

Sesshomaru closed his eyes as Inuyasha washed him. He hoped he'd feel at least a little better once he was clean.

He suddenly started squirming, he could feel Naraku's hand all over his body. His eyes were still closed and the image he saw was of last night.

“Sessh, hey. Snap out of it,” Inuyasha told him worriedly.

Sesshomaru's eyes opened and he stared straight at Inuyasha. “Sorry…” he mumbled.

“There's nothing to be sorry over. You're pretty clean now. Let's get you dried off.” Inuyasha helped him up and leaned him against the counter. It took a lot of effort but with the support of the counter, Sesshomaru was able to more or less stand.

Inuyasha quickly dried him off then grabbed the nearby clothes he had put there. He dressed him in black basketball shorts and a t-shirt. He'd be more comfortable than if he were in jeans. He picked him up then carried him back to the bed. Sesshomaru wouldn't be able to move around much today.

“Need anything?” Inuyasha asked.

“No,” Sesshomaru told him.

“Alright then.” Inuyasha lied down next to him on his side with his hand propping up his head. His free hand rubbed one of Sesshomaru's arms.

“What now?” Sesshomaru asked.

“What do you mean?”

“What do I do? About everything? It just seems like so much…”

“Just take it one step at a time. First, concentrate on getting better. We'll take care of the rest when the time is right.”

“Okay.”

“Are you still tired?”

“Yeah.”

“Try to sleep.”

“Promise you'll stay?” Sesshomaru sounded like a small, frightened child.

“Yes, I promise.”

After a few minutes, Sesshomaru fell asleep. Inuyasha stayed by his side like he said he would. Sesshomaru seemed to be shivering a little so he pulled a blanket over him. His own thoughts were all over the place. These next months were going to be very difficult for everyone close to the abused man but especially for Sesshomaru. Inuyasha would be there for him though and was determined to get Sesshomaru through this. Yes, it would be tough but Inuyasha was ready.

Sesshomaru was in a dark room. His arms were bound behind him and he was lying on his stomach. He was unable to move. Suddenly an eerie, crazed laugh filled the room. It scared him to his very core. Then there was someone else with him. He couldn't see in the inky blackness but he could sense another being. The next thing he knew he couldn't breath, his lungs were being crushed. He was slowly suffocating while the laughter only increased. He desperately tried to move but it was impossible. I'm going to die, I'm going to die. There was no more air in his lungs and just as he was certain that he was going to die…he woke up.

His eyes snapped open as he took a deep breath of air. He quickly looked around, his heart beating at an incredibly fast rate and the panic clear on his face. He was calming down though once he realized he was still in Inuyasha's room and lying on his bed. He turned to where Inuyasha was. The other male's eyes were wide.

“Are you alright?” Inuyasha asked.

He nodded, still trying to calm his frantic heart. “B-bad dream.” He closed his eyes and took another deep breath. “Do you still want to do this?”

“Do what?”

“Help me.”

“Of course, Sessh. We've had this discussion, I swear that I'll help you get through this…I mean it. Don't ever doubt that.”

He just nodded again and turned onto his side. Inuyasha wrapped an arm around him and stroked his hair. “Do you need anything?”

“No.”

“Don't just tell me no because you feel bad or something. If you need or want something then let me know and I'll get it for you. I don't want you suffering anymore.” He then sat up.

“Where are you going?” Sesshomaru asked quickly.

“I'm gonna get you some water and painkillers. I'll be right back.”

“Okay…”

Inuyasha went downstairs and grabbed the two items before walking back to his bedroom. He helped Sesshomaru sit up a little so he could swallow the pills.

“Thank you,” he told Inuyasha.

“No problem. Do you want to try and go back to sleep?”

He shook his head. “C-can we maybe go downstairs or something? I-I'm starting to feel a little claustrophobic…”

“Mhm.” He picked Sesshomaru up gently and carried him down the stairs. He laid him on the couch then got a warm blanket for him since he was cold. Suddenly there was a whistling sound coming from the kitchen.

“What's that?” Sesshomaru asked.

“When I got the pills I put some water on to make tea.” He quickly turned it off and returned. “Do you wanna try and eat something?”

“No. I don't think my stomach can handle it right now…”

“Okay, but I want to get some food in you by tonight. It'll be unhealthy if you don't eat and it won't help you get better.”

A few minutes later, Inuyasha went back to the kitchen to get Sesshomaru's tea. He handed him the cup and he sipped on it.

“Can we call Kagura? I…I want to see how Rin's doing…”

“Yeah, you want to call her right now or do you want me too?”

“Please, will you?”

“Yeah.” He got the phone to dial her number and put it on speaker.

“Hey, Inuyasha,” they heard her answer.

“Hey, Kagura.”

“How's Sesshomaru doing?”

“I'm fine,” Sesshomaru said. “How's Rin?”

“…She's doing better than last night. She was too scared to sleep alone but she's taking a nap on the couch right now.”

Sesshomaru's eyes started brimming with tears. “H-has she said anything about yesterday?”

“She's been asking questions. I've tried to answer them as best I can and reassure her that things are going to be okay.”

The first one of Sesshomaru's tears fell soon followed by more. “Thank you for watching her, Kagura…”

“Anything for you, Sessh.” She could tell that he was crying. “I know you're strong, you'll pull through this.”

Sesshomaru said nothing else. Inuyasha took it off speaker and said a few things to her before hanging up. He walked over to Sesshomaru and kneeled by his side. His hand went to his face and he wiped the tears away. Sesshomaru grabbed his hand and simply held it in his own.

“Everything's gonna be okay,” Inuyasha whispered. “It'll take some time but we'll get there, I promise.”

Sesshomaru stared at him with sad eyes. He nodded then said quietly, “Thank you.”

Sesshomaru felt so overwhelmed. All he could think about was what would happen now. How badly did this affect Rin? Would Naraku come after them? Where was he right now? Many different scenarios ran through his head and they all ended badly for Sesshomaru. He tried to calm himself down but he just couldn't quell the panic.

Inuyasha came back from getting something to drink and sat next to him on the floor. “Sessh, what's wrong?” he asked.

“I-I just can't stop thinking about what Naraku's planning or where he his. I mean, I know I shouldn't but…”

“I know it's hard but you can't think about those things. The only thing I want you to focus on is healing, okay? It's important for you to get better. Would you like it if I called someone to stay here? Just so there are more people here besides us?”

Sesshomaru thought about it for a moment then shook his head. “I don't trust anyone else to see me like this…I don't want to explain it.”

“Alright then.” Inuyasha kept engaging Sesshomaru in conversation so he wouldn't think about Naraku so much. It seemed to be working, he had even been able to get him laughing a couple times.

The sun was soon setting and Sesshomaru watched the sky blacken. There would be no sleep for him this night either.

“Hey, I think it's time for you to eat something,” Inuyasha told him.

“Okay, I'm not really that hungry though...”

“I'll make something light.” He made themselves salad and tea.

Sesshomaru struggled to sit up. Inuyasha quickly helped him, the wince didn't go by unnoticed.

“Sessh, if it hurts to sit then maybe we should get a doctor to check that out,” he suggested.

“No,” Sesshomaru said immediately. “They'll ask me how it happened and then I'll have to tell them.”

“But maybe you should be looked at by a professional.”

“No. Please, no. I don't want to…”

“Fine. Here, eat as much as you can.” Inuyasha really wanted to take him to a doctor just to make sure he was okay. He couldn't tell if Sesshomaru had internal damage of some kind. He wasn't about to force him to do anything though. I'll just keeping asking him and hopefully he'll agree.

They finished their meals then looked at each other. Both men were in for another sleepless night.

Hey, everybody. Sorry for the wait on this chapter, I've been busy though. You guys know how it is. Hope to have the next chapter out in a couple weeks at most though. By the way, I have a new community called “It's Uke Sesshomaru.” So far, the number of subscribers I have is…zero! That makes me sad. If you're interested then subscribe and then that would make me happy. =D Haha, so yeah

leta: Thanks, hun. Yeah, everyone wants him to die painfully. I now have a list of different ways my readers want him to die

VegoSacomoto: And if Rin walked in on THAT….oh boy, she would've been so much worse off. Yeah, if Jakotsu would have raped Sesshomaru then I think that would have pushed him over the edge so it's a damn good thing he didn't

LadiPisces: Thanks for the review and awesome scores! =)

Kaybop1: Yeah, something extreme had to happen though in order for Sesshomaru to finally realize that he had to leave Naraku

DarkAngelJudas: With Koga…ooh, he has to pay for what he did. It's sad that Rin had to see. Naraku was so raging mad this time though that he was careless so she ended up walking in on them

stallion14: Well, thank you. Yeah, I have quite a few readers who ended up yelling at their computers last chapter. Hehe, I'm sure you would have preferred if I hadn't taken my sweet ass time with this post (blame it mostly on school though)

ActionBitch2011: We talked about last chapter already, I believe. Yeah, it's awful. Psh, it's fucking downright horrible

Mai Darling Dearheart: Thanks! =)

Silver Volken Raven: Yeah, it sucks that Rin had to see…but it was necessary. No, no, Sesshomaru is totally leaving Naraku for good. Don't worry, I'm not giving him another excuse to stay. Hehe, yeah I'm back to writing 2000 word chapters. I think I'd explode or something if I tried to write 8000 words every update. “Horrible but great,” I like that. =)

dashllee: Well, even if it might be messed up…it's still true. Oh, Koga's gonna get his. He's a fucking bastard. Haha, nah it didn't really get on my nerves. All my readers were doing it since the first chapter so I kinda got used to it. And the next update should be out sooner this time

pumpkinpi: If you thought twenty-nine was bad…well, thirty was way worse. You probably hate Naraku even MORE

milkchocolatehot64: After some of the reviews I got for chapter 29, I had decided not to end chapter 30 until it was up to the point of Sesshomaru finally leaving him. Yeah, Rin shouldn't have seen it but unfortunately it was needed in order for Sesshomaru to leave for good

bunnykim89: Thanks! =)

aleabeth: It's great that help is now out there and that things are better now than in the past. Like you said, it isn't perfect but still improving…but yes, people don't realize that men get abused just like women do whether it's in a gay or straight relationship. Domestic violence is still a problem for people of all sexualities of course but definitely in the gay community since homophobia still very much exists. The women have been abused for generations? With your mother leaving, hopefully the cycle was broken then

Ladykaa28: Mhm, everyone wants to jump into the story and kick Koga and Naraku's ass. Yeah, for a long time now I've had that Rin-walking-in scene planned out. Since the first chapters actually. I don't think Sesshomaru would've gotten the strength to leave if she hadn't. Oh yes…Sesshomaru isn't completely in the clear yet…

Sess101: Yeah, I know what you mean. These last few months…Xp. Ha, anyways, thanks a bunch

ew: Hehehe, you son of a bitch. Are you too stupid to read warnings or something? It says MAJOR OOCness at the top of every chapter. That means the characters are going to be out of fucking character from the manga! Gross, gross, gross. Yes, homosexuality is so GROSS. I guess since you told me to take this down I should do it, huh? Yeah, okay, you dumb ass. And hey, why the hell are you reviewing from chapter thirty anyways? Did it really take you that long to realize that Sesshomaru was gay and in an abusive relationship? Someone must be a little slow then…ahaha, whatever man. Thanks for the laugh, it's been a while since I got a negative review (surprising, right?). XDDD

inuv5: Yeah, I think the Jakotsu rape would have been just too much. Sesshomaru would've been a hell of a lot worse off if he had gone through with it. Revenge? …Hehe

Nikkie23534: He's smart not to mess with a woman giving him the evil eye. XD Yeah, Rin walking in on them was definitely bittersweet. But it was either Rin witnessing it or Sesshomaru eventually being killed…either by himself from finally reaching his breaking point or by Naraku taking the punishments too far (which is where it would have eventually ended up). I think we can all agree though that Rin seeing it would be better. Thanks a lot for your review. Hehe, aw not dead? Heehee, for Naraku's fate I have so far from everyone: car accident, Inuyasha killing him, burning him to death, getting hit by a bus, being Debo's bitch, and probably more that I'm forgetting

teiboi: Hehe, yeah I'm sure that's what all my readers were thinking, `Finally!!!'

RandomRockerGrl: Heh, I'm sure the three of them would have fun with that

The Deity Ororo: Updated!

inu-dude15: Yeah, quite a few people are waiting for an Inuyasha/Naraku fight. Thanks for the review! =)

Demitria Miriam: After Rin witnessed that, he has definitely taken that final step in leaving Naraku

Amethyst Green: Haha, yeah like twenty or twenty-one. Thanks for reviewing. =)

Henpuku-Hime: Thanks a bunch!

NeoSeymour: Thanks! Yeah, a few people have mentioned Inuyasha and Naraku going at it in a fight…

ResseCullan01: Thank you! =)

KatzeIason69: I appreciate the review. =) Next update should be out faster next time
