A/N - Just, like...so y'all know? I'm SUCH a pervert. Miroku ain't got nothin' on me. Well. I don't do the grab-assing...but...I am permanently stuck in the gutter. Any time I try and come up with sidestory plotlines, no matter the characters, my mind takes a nosedive back into my hentai-nature. I've come up with some VERY inappropriate ideas...Heh. Heh heh. Hehehehehehehehehe...

Sesshoumaru - And I'm her favorite. She's going to warp my tender young self.
Toga - *rubs his back soothingly* Heh. I'm sure it will be alright...
Sessh - *flat look* Most of her sidestories involving me involve YOU TOO.
Toga - Erk. Where do we petition for a new author...?
....Yeah, well, luckily for you two, I said in 'Pride' canon there was nothing perverse that occurred previously between you two....
Sessh and Toga - *sighs of relief*
....but I'm not above a divergence from canon now and then. BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------

Toga groaned softly as he settled into the task of kissing the stuffing out of Sairex. Memories and echoes of long forgotten sensation exploded in his mind. The taste of this exotic creature...the way the raven's long-limbed frame fit against him, so delicate and seemingly fragile in comparison to his own...and the way he leaned up against him, helpless to escape but never really wanting to. The kiss was so intoxicating and Sairex was so hot, and...and those talons, digging carefully into his chest and pushing at him?... oh shit... OH SHIT!

Toga's mind finally caught up with his body and he pulled back, his eyes widening. "Oh shit...Sairex, I...I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize. It...It's not like I don't feel it too. But I don't tink you really mean it. You've been hurting and lonely and you vant to have zome zense of comfort and love. You finally tink you're going to get it vhen ve bring Zezzhoumaru home and inztead you get zkewered."

"I....I'm sorry. When I said earlier that we'd talk, this....wasn't what I intended."

Sairex grinned a bit and snagged the guide pole, still trying to get his breathing under control. Damn, but Toga had always been an amazing kisser...and it was so hard to deny him, despite the raven's deep love for his mate. It had taken all of the Sairex's considerable willpower to make even a feeble effort to push him away and snap the inu back to his senses. "Really, its ok. Don't beat yourzelf up over it. Ve'll vorry about it later. Let's just focus on getting home, eh?"

Toga gave him a half-hearted smile. "Yes...that would be a good idea."

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Inuyasha sighed in sleepy contentment as skilled hands lovingly soothed the tension from his muscles. He had fallen asleep while Sesshoumaru-watching...apparently, his elder brother had knocked himself out good and hard and was not about to come to any time soon. This made for a rather boring show and the hanyou had fallen asleep. The stone floor in the dungeon wasn't terribly comfortable...but those hands rubbing the stiffness out of his shoulders and back felt divine.

"Mmm...s'nice..." he mumbled, a tiny smile twitching his lips.

"Wake up, my dear hanyou...you surely don't wish to sleep the whole night on the dungeon floor...you're so tense already..."

The words hit Inuyasha like a lightning bolt and his eyes snapped open without preamble. He let out a sharp yell as all of his senses confirmed who it was touching him.

"AACCCK!! GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME, NARAKU!!!" Inuyasha scrambled backwards so fast he nearly duplicated Sesshoumaru's earlier crack-skull-on-wall trick.

Naraku gave Inuyasha a smirk. Oh, how he LOVED to torment the hanyou by....doing the absolute opposite of tormenting the hanyou. Naraku rolled his eyes at Inuyasha's typical overreaction. "Oh, calm down. I didn't assume you would wish to spend the entire night on the floor."

"What the hell are you doing down here?! When did you even get back?! What the FUCK, man?!"

"I was the one that found your brother in the first place. Hmph. Some gratitude. I was just coming to check up on him. He looks much nicer cleaned up."

Inuyasha growled and cursed the fact that he left his Tetsusaiga in his room. "Get your damn pervy eyes off my brother."

Naraku arched an eyebrow as he looked at Sesshoumaru. "Easier said than done when he's putting on such a show."

"Wha?..." Inuyasha blinked and his gaze flew over to Sesshoumaru. His jaw dropped as he realized the taiyoukai was bathed in sweat and writhing in silent ecstasy, lost deep in some dream...or perhaps a facet of his deranged mind, it was impossible to tell if he was awake or not.

Once Inuyasha got his mental feet back under him, however, he growled and swatted at Naraku. "Stop staring, you fucking hentai...damn it...get out of here..." Before Naraku could protest...or keep staring, Inuyasha really didn't like the way those crimson eyes were riveted on Sesshoumaru...Inuyasha snagged him by the sleeve and hauled him bodily out of the dungeon, his face roughly as red as his haori and grumbling to himself.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

"Vhen ve hit da zhore, ve have to move fast, due north."

Toga nodded and slid into his true form, and Sairex gave the boat a final burst of propulsion before leaping up on his doggy mount.

When they were close enough, Toga leapt free of the boat and tore down the dock, blowing past a stunned demon and several motionless souls. A few messenger imps blinked wide-eyed as the massive white dog blew through their ranks without slowing.

Sairex couldn't help a grin. It was surely a guilty pleasure, riding on Toga's back, although he surely wasn't about to call attention to that fact. Toga was such a graceful, powerful beast, and the raven had always been fascinated by the smooth ripple of muscle under that sleek, furry hide. Besides...it was for the best, really. While Sairex could fly faster than Toga could run, the inu never seemed to tire and could lope along seemingly endlessly.

The raven closed his eyes, silently urging his friend to travel faster. They shouldn't have stopped in the river as they had - he could feel something powerful approaching rapidly in the distance. // Well, no matter. We should make it back in time...and as long as I can survive the jump back, I...well... // "Toga?""Mm?"

"Vhen ve get back...I know a vay to keep you alive."

Toga frowned, not liking the extreme hesitance and reluctance in the raven's tone. "The way you say it makes me think there is some sort of catch."

"Well...I'm no healer, you know. But....I don't...tink any amount of bandaging vould be enough to zave you. Gods, Toga, you veren't just zpilling blood you know."

"Well, I tried to hold everything in. Heh. What's the problem?"

"One of....da tings I learned from my people vere vays to..." Sairex winced and tightened his grip on Toga's fur, his voice a whisper. "...vays to prolong da torture of captives dat vould hold off death. But...if I do dat, you von't be able to zleep for...gods, I don't know...it vill keep you conscious and in pain until you can heal."

"Hn, I can take a little pain. Its a small price to pay to be alive again. Just cast your spell, set what healers we have on me, and I should be better in a few days. Why didn't you mention this earlier?"

"Toga...you tink I vant to TORTURE you? I vas trying to tink of another vay."

"Oh, I see. Is this because I kissed you, that you decided to torture me?"

Sairex gave him a horrified look. "Vhat? No! I didn't try to ztop you because I DIDN'T like it, it vas...damn you, inu, don't tease me like dis. It's mean."

"You're always so calm and collected and smart. I can't help that I enjoy ruffling your feathers a bit. Either way, relax. I can handle a bit of pain and I'll heal fairly quickly. Don't worry so much."

"Kaa...it's more dan a 'little bit of pain' Toga."

"Pfft. No worries. I'll endure it. You know...all this talk of pain and dying aside...it has been rather fun running around with you causing trouble."

Sairex snorted. "Right. Zairex an' Toga, taking on da Circle and den da Undervorld. Vhat's next?"

"Heaven sounds nice, it's about the only place we haven't hit up yet."

"Vhy not? Mm, if you vould be zo kind as to ztop right over dere...."

Toga slowed down and stopped in the designated area and Sairex hopped off his back, pausing to scratch him between the ears.

"Zuch a zveet little doggy...ACK!" Sairex stumbled backwards as Toga lunged forward and gave him a very wet lick across the face. "I take it back. You're a damn animal, didn't anyone ever teach you not to jump up? Kaa..."

Toga sat back on his haunches, a big doggy grin on his face and tail wagging. "I was never very good at following orders."

"Vell, I'm going to give you a couple now. Zit. Ztay. I'll bring you over as zoon as I make zure everyting is in place zo I don't have to kill myzelf again to get you back, alright? If you behave, maybe I'll even give you a treat."

Toga appeared to consider it before laying down and resting his head on his front paws, tail thumping slowly. "Yes, yes, I'll be good. Make it fast."

Sairex closed his eyes and offered a silent prayer that his spell worked as well as he had let on it would. For one heart-stopping, soul-freezing moment he was afraid that it hadn't worked...and then everything went black.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Miroku couldn't help but let out a startled cry when Sairex sat up suddenly, hauling in a deep breath, yellow eyes wide and hand coming up to clutch at his heart.

"Sairex! You...you're alive!" Miroku looked about ready to pounce on him, but held off as he took a good look at Sairex's expression.

The raven wheezed and held up his other hand, trying hard to cope with the sudden horrible ache in his chest. For one terrible moment he feared that he was going to slide back into the dark chasm of death that loomed directly behind him, threatening to swallow him and whispering how it could caress away this pain...

"Damn...living vith a vound like dis is a lot more painful dan dying vith it..." Sairex gave Miroku a faint grin.

"Dear Buddha...you worried me so much."

Sairex sighed softly and, when he discovered he was at least healed enough to move without breaking, slid over to give Miroku a hug. "Believe me vhen I zay I vould have done da zame for you vithout a zecond thought."Miroku sighed and tightened his arms around the raven, burying his face in his mate's hair. "I know...it just...it broke my heart to come around the corner and find you like that...can you at least warn me before you kill yourself next time?"

Sairex smiled weakly. "Heh. I'll actually be attempting to avoid da zuicide ting.""That's good to hear. So...did it work?...whatever you had to do?..."

"I have to finish up." Reluctantly, Sairex pulled out of Miroku's embrace, alarmed at how exhausted his body suddenly felt. But no...he could not succumb to this weariness, not yet. He had to finish it, save Toga too else the whole thing was in vain. The raven cringed as he whispered dark words in his native tongue over Toga's still form. Sairex looked away as he slowly wiped away the rune he had drawn on Toga's forehead before he had cast the initial spell and followed him into death.

Miroku was suddenly horribly curious as to Sairex's dark expression and the pain he saw in his lover's eyes. His attention was stolen, however, when Toga's eyes snapped open wide. The inu sucked in a sharp breath and let it out in an anguished howl, curling in on himself and moving to wrap his arms around his stomach, shaking and struggling to breathe.

"Now...It's done..." Sairex mumbled softly before he slid slowly, gracefully into unconsciousness.

Miroku caught Sairex before he could hit the ground, looking at Toga in alarm. "Lord Toga?...A...Are you alright?"

Toga let out a thin whine in response, clawing at the floor ineffectively. Sairex had said it would hurt and he would be fully conscious of his pain...but he had NEVER expected it to be this bad. // Huh...guess dying DOES numb things a lot more than I thought...ah, FUCK...//

Miroku sighed inwardly and scooped Sairex up. "I'll...be right back to take care of you, Toga, I promise...I can only handle one of you at a time." The monk hurried off to put his lover to bed and then find someone to help him with the anguished inu.
