InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Come Home Puppy ❯ Rescue ( Chapter 5 )

Rescue
'I'm coming Inuyasha. Hold on for me!'

Inuyasha woke up in yet another different room than the one he had lost consciousness in. To his left he could see the big window that was letting all the light, probably sealed with dragon magic so he couldn't escape or the room was put under a barrier no doubt, and immediately to the right of the window was a desk. The wood was a heavy, sturdy material that smelled like cherry wood, like he remembered from his childhood with his mother. On the next wall there were two doors, one ajar to reveal the bathing area and use for other hygiene uses and the other door he assumed led to the wardrobe. Bookshelves also lined the lower level of the wall, reaching no more than the height of Inuyasha's waist. The wall to his far right was barren except for one set of double doors, he assumed he wouldn't even be able to touch, much less escape out of. With a tired sigh, the not quite there hanyou closed his eyes to sleep in the little peace he had at the moment.
An hour later, the golden-eyed inu was awakened to his flesh stinging. Not as if a bee trying to sting him, but as if someone had decided that salt was a good thing to add to open and already agitated wounds. As his eyes refocused, he saw the blurry figure of a dark haired man with something that looked pink wrapped about his hand. His eyesight finally focused and he could make out the features of Naraku leaning over him with the blood-stained white cloth that smelled of herbs, herbs that reminded him of another time with another person. He was too tired to recall exactly who it was he was supposed to be remembering, that part was locked away anyway. Inuyasha just let the cleaning continue, not listening as the male above him spoke in low, supposedly soothing tones.
Naraku watched dull lifeless eyes. His puppy had finally broke and now it was time to rebuild the puppy so he would obey only him, and live to fill his every whim, to want to only please him. The kumo talked in low chilling tones as he described what he was planning to do to his precious puppy. First, puppy would need to heal, he wanted Inuyasha to be able to enjoy every moment of his life to come, starting with the puppy's first time as Naraku bonded with him. That miko was foolish in tying the rosary beads that once surrounded his puppy's neck to her soul. Because of the corruption of the beads due to her abuse of them for Inuyasha she had unwittingly given him the main component he needed to break Inuyasha. The corruption of the beads and the fact that she was trying to forcefully bind the inu to her soul ended up weakening the hold she had on the beads allowing Inuyasha's youkai to become stronger. When the miko cast the dog away in her anger, she broke the bond and her hold on the inu-hanyou. Naraku grinned as he completed the task of cleaning the puppy's wounds. He would begin his plan's tomorrow on rebuilding the smaller male into what he wanted.

Sesshoumaru was almost there, he could feel it with everything that made up who he was. His only thoughts were on getting to Inuyasha in time and the dread that he wouldn't. He forgot about those following as he followed his brother's call; Naraku would pay. His cockiness and ignorance in the ways of the White Dog Clan would be what destroyed him. Sesshoumaru would destroy the heart of Naraku and rip the jewel shard from the man's chest, so that he could no longer fill the air of this plane with his stench. It was time for Naraku to die once and for all.

Kouga, Shippou and Kirara followed with all the speed that Kouga possessed, but even being one of the fastest demons to ever come out of his pack, he was still lagging behind further and further behind Sesshoumaru. Kouga could only hope that they would get to their destination soon or he would have no choice but to slow down so that he could follow the TaiYoukai's scent until they found Inuyasha.

The humans didn't even know if the demons had changed directions. The only thing they could go by was the giant paw prints that they came across every hundred yards or so. Sango along the way had began giving Kagome the cold shoulder as the girl refused to admit that she was wrong and that she needed to apologize to Inuyasha once they were given the chance to. Miroku was following along with Sango's opinion because he didn't want to hurt his chances of her bearing his children more than actually agreeing with the taijiyas perspective on their behavior towards the inu-hanyou.

Naraku lovingly washed Inuyasha's body before laying him gently back onto the bed. The kumo undressed himself as well before joining the inu-hanyou in the bed. He splayed himself over his puppy's luscious body before trying his first taste of the lightly tanned, cream soft skin. His tongue lapped lightly at the junction between neck and shoulder before moving lower, worshipping the smaller male beneath him. Just as he was preparing the puppy for their first union, savage claws ripped through his shoulder then yanked back harshly pulling Naraku away from the tempting body he was trying to ravish. Naraku roared in outrage as he was torn away only to see who it was that had dared to trespass within his territory.
Sesshoumaru saw red at the disgusting kumo-hanyou that was presumptous enough to touch his little brother, his baby brother that believed that all could be right with the world if you just fought for it hard enough. He saw his otouto laying there, acting as if he wasn't within his own body, or better yet, that he was trapped within his own body. Inuyasha seemed to have shut down and what had thrown even more rage into the Lord of the Western Lands was the fact that he could no longer see the inner fire that always lit Inuyasha's eyes. He doesn't remember shoving his claw through Naraku, nor does he remember ripping the man to shreds with his claws and poison. He doesn't remember ripping the heart out of the monster's chest, because it was supposed to be there, and he didn't care to notice when tainted jewel shard fell to the floor, rolling off into a forgotten corner.
Sesshoumaru does remember gathering his baby brother into his arms and rocking him as he whispered sweet nothings into def doggy ears. Sesshoumaru didn't move until Kouga arrived, and warned the ookami lord to make the kit remain outside while he wrapped his otouto in his own haori. The little kit was heart broken when he saw the shape that his adoptive father was in and ended up crying himself to exhaustion in Inuyasha's lap. Sesshoumaru remained there holding his brother until Kouga could get back with the miko that could purify and dispose of the wretched jewel that started this entire mess. He certainly didn't want anything to do with it.

Kouga found the ningens wondering closely on track of the route they had taken to get to Naraku's castle. He didn't wait to catch them up on what happened because he really didn't know, by the time he had gotten there Sesshoumaru had taken care of everything. He barked at the three humans to get on his back before he shifted forms and lowered himself to the ground so they could get on.
As soon as they had arrived at the castle, Kouga led them to the room where Inuyasha had been found captive. The group looked upon the sleeping Shippou and Sesshoumaru rocking Inuyasha back and forth as if he were a child. Inuyasha did not look harmed, but he didn't look completely alright either. Sango, Kagome, and Miroku looked upon the half-demon with pity and a tinkle of remorse. They would think on that later, Kagome had a jewel to purify first.
