Chapter Thirty-Three

 

A few days passed and there was yet to be a sign of Naraku. Sesshomaru was glad for this, he was still afraid of being attacked. His body continued to ache and his friends were still worried about him. He was able to move around more on his own though. The white-haired male had been right, it seemed like he didn't need a hospital to heal.

 

It was Monday night and Sesshomaru was lying down with Inuyasha. They weren't asleep, they were just talking to each other. Kagura was with Rin in the living room. They were all at the woman's house. Then the two men heard a knock on the door.

 

“Come in,” Sesshomaru called.

 

The door opened to reveal his daughter. She walked up to the bed and sat down on it. “Papa?” she started.

 

“What is it?” he asked.

 

“Am I going to school tomorrow?”

 

“Uh…” She had missed Friday and today because of what happened with her parents. Things had been too hectic to worry about her going. “Do you want to go?”

 

“Mm…yeah. Can I?”

 

“If you want then yeah. Why don't you go take a shower now before it gets too late?”

 

“Okay, Papa.” She hugged him then left the room.

 

Sesshomaru turned to Inuyasha when he felt an arm wrap around his waist.

 

“Do you think she'll tell anyone?” the father asked softly.

 

“Do you think she will?” Inuyasha told him.

 

“She might…I'm not sure.”

 

“Are you scared of that?”

 

“…I don't want the wrong people hearing about it. But what if she needs to talk to someone about what she saw?”

 

“Maybe you should put her in therapy.” He wanted to say that he thought Sesshomaru should go too.

 

“Maybe…you think it would help?”

 

“Yeah. She seems okay for the most part but still, it would probably help. Until then just tell her to not say anything to anyone.”

 

“Yeah, I will before she goes to bed.”

 

He was about to say more but the doorbell rang. Sesshomaru's eyes widened and he panicked. It was eight at night, no one should have been at the door right now.

 

Naraku.

 

That monster was finally here for Sesshomaru.

 

“Inuyasha,” the white-haired man cried. “He's here.”

 

Inuyasha sat up quickly. “Stay here. I'll be back, okay? I promise nothing will happen to you.”

 

Once the older man nodded, he left. Inuyasha ran to the stairs and climbed down them. Kagura was already at the door. She opened it and looked surprised. The black-haired male stood behind her to see who was there. He sighed in relief. Both he and Kagura had been afraid it was Naraku. Instead it was one of Kagura's brothers.

 

“Byakuya, what are you doing here?” she asked while stepping aside to let him in.

 

Inuyasha didn't hear his answer because he went rushing back up the stairs to tell Sesshomaru it was okay. He opened the door and found his friend sitting up, staring at him with wide eyes.

 

“It isn't Naraku,” Inuyasha said.

 

Sesshomaru closed his eyes, some of his fear leaving. “Who was it then?”

 

“Kagura's brother…Byakuya, I think.”

 

He looked confused. “Why is he here? Did Kagura tell him what happened?”

 

“I came back up before I heard his answer. Do you want to go downstairs and see him?”

 

“I…okay. But only for a bit…”

 

“Alright.”

 

Both men left the room and went into the living room. Kagura and her brother were talking quietly.

 

“Hi, Byakuya,” Sesshomaru said quietly.

 

“Hey, Sesshomaru,” Byakuya said. He stood up and briefly hugged the other man.

 

Inuyasha sat down and told Sesshomaru to sit next to him. As Sesshomaru did, he stared at Kagura's brother.

 

“Do you know what happened?” he asked.

 

“Yes,” Byakuya answered.

 

“You told him?” the white-haired man asked Kagura softly.

 

“He already knew what was going on. That night where you slept here and you finally told me what Naraku did…I wasn't alone when I went to get you at your house. Byakuya was with me but he left before you woke up.”

 

“…You still told him about the other day though.”

 

“Yes, I did. I'm sorry, Sessh. But he already knew.”

 

“Are you mad at her?” Byakuya asked him.

 

“No,” Sesshomaru said. “I just wanted to know. But I don't want the rest of the family knowing. Have you guys told anyone else?”

 

“No, and we weren't going to. I know there's probably not much I can do for you but if there's anything at all then please tell me. Even if it's just housework.”

 

“Thanks,” Kagura told him.

 

“Yes, thank you. I appreciate it.”

 

Everyone talked for a few more minutes before Sesshomaru looked to Inuyasha.

 

“Something wrong?” the younger male asked quietly.

 

“Hey, guys. We'll be right back,” Kagura suddenly said to them. Then she and her brother went to the kitchen.

 

“I'm tired…” Sesshomaru mumbled. “I want to make sure Rin gets to bed then I want to go to sleep. I've been getting less sleep from staying up all night.”

 

“Alright, you head up. I'll let the other two know. You want me to go with you?”

 

“If you don't mind…”

 

“You know I don't. I'll be up in a minute. You want anything?”

 

“No, I'm fine.”

 

Inuyasha watched Sesshomaru go up before he told Kagura they were going to bed for the night. He waited a few minutes before going up to the room. He found Sesshomaru changing out of his clothes. In his hands were pajama pants, his jeans on the floor.

 

“Rin already in bed?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Yeah,” Sesshomaru answered. “I told her not to say anything about what's been going on. She was okay with it…”

 

“Byakuya said he would take her in the morning. So you could rest. Kagura has to go into work early too.” He saw the fear that quickly appeared in his friend's eyes. “I'll still be here though. I won't leave you alone.”

 

Relief showed on the older man's face before he finished changing. He was exhausted but worried that he still wouldn't be able to sleep during the night.

 

“Come on, lay down,” Inuyasha urged. “I'll stay up til you fall asleep.”

 

Sesshomaru obeyed and closed his eyes. Every time he did though, he would see himself being beaten. Inuyasha noticed and whispered soothing things to him. He embraced the frightened man and promised nothing bad would happen while he slept. Eventually he got Sesshomaru to fall asleep. It would be a rough night but every night had been so far.

 

--

 

The front door shutting was what woke Sesshomaru up in the morning. His daughter and Byakuya had just left so she could go to school. He looked over, seeing Inuyasha already awake and texting on his phone.

 

The black-haired man noticed. “Hey, morning,” he said.

 

“Morning.”

 

“How you feeling?”

 

“Alright.”

 

“Kagura's already gone. Want to go back to my house?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Both men changed clothes and gathered their things. Sesshomaru was the first one to walk out the door, his friend right behind him. He quickly stopped which caused Inuyasha to bump into him.

 

“Oof. Hey, what's wrong?”

 

Sesshomaru didn't say anything though. He just stared straight ahead.

 

Parked in front of the house was Naraku's black car.

 

Inuyasha followed his gaze to the vehicle. He recognized the car and quickly grabbed Sesshomaru. “Come on, let's go back in.” He looked around, Naraku wasn't in the car. “Sessh, come on.” He forced the man to turn around towards the house.

 

“And just where do you think you're going, Sesshomaru?”

 

Sesshomaru's breathing stopped, eyes wide and body trembling.

 

“Get the fuck out of here,” Inuyasha growled as Naraku appeared. He moved so he was between the two men.

 

“Not without my husband,” Naraku said. He was glaring at Sesshomaru. The white-haired man was peering at him from behind his friend. “You belong to me, Sesshomaru. Come here.” His tone was cold and demanding.

 

Sesshomaru wanted to speak but fear paralyzed him.

 

“He's not property, mother fucker,” Inuyasha told him. “He doesn't belong to anyone. And he's not going anywhere with you. The two of you are through.”

 

“Oh, really? Sesshomaru, did you know of this? We both know that you'll come crawling back to me. Why don't you save everyone the trouble and just come home with me now? If you're good, what happened last time won't happen again.”

 

The golden-eyed man knew not to trust his husband, knew the man was lying just so he could go home and beat him. But a part of him wanted to believe him. He wished he could go with Naraku and he would be treated well and Naraku would love him…like he used to.

 

The horrified expression on Rin's face when she saw her Papa get punched came into his mind.

 

No. He couldn't go back. Sesshomaru had to accept that the one he loved was now gone and replaced with a monster.

 

“Go inside,” Inuyasha ordered his friend. Then he focused on the other man. “Leave.”

 

“No. Not until he comes with me,” Naraku said.

 

“Get the fuck out of here before I call the cops.”

 

“You won't do anything. If you give me Sesshomaru then I'll never bother you again.”

 

“Sesshomaru,” Inuyasha said slowly. “Go inside. Now.”

 

The golden-eyed man wanted to listen. Just as he started to open the door, Naraku jumped at him. He pushed Inuyasha partially out of the way and grabbed Sesshomaru's wrist. The white-haired man yelped and closed his eyes, his body would in no other way move.

 

“Don't touch him!” Inuyasha screamed. He shoved the man away from Sesshomaru and punched Naraku in the face. He turned towards his friend and gently nudged him. “Go…”

 

Sesshomaru finally did and Inuyasha closed the door behind him. He only started at the man still outside and waited to see what he would do.

 

“I'll get him back,” Naraku said lowly. His hand was rubbing his jaw. “Do you think this is the first time he's wanted to leave me? He'll get over this and then be begging me to take him back. This is the only life he knows and despite what he may say, he'll never want to truly change it.”

 

Inuyasha thought over those words before he spoke. “You're wrong. Sesshomaru is never going back to you, not after last time. If you believe that he will, you're delusional. Yeah, you and him have been together for ten years but you don't truly know him. He left, he's not yours, he never will be. Sesshomaru is stronger than you give him credit for. He'll get through this, I know he will. I'll be right by his side to make sure. So you better stay away from him because if it comes right down to it, I swear I'll kill you myself.” He turned his back to the crimson-eyed abuser. “I'll say this one more time. Get away from here or I'll call the cops.” He then went inside, locked the door, and looked out the window.

 

Naraku stood there for a few moments before calmly turning around and walking to his car. He got in and drove away.

 

Inuyasha then left the window to find Sesshomaru and make sure he would be okay.
