Chapter 5: Sesshomaru's hunt
About 3 days after Naraku's torture
Sesshomaru sniffed the air. The scent of his brother's blood had shifted direction. Funny? Maybe Naraku had been changing his hideout because he thought he was coming for him.
He panted with weariness and looked around for clues. In the far distance he could see a speck of fire that must be the Miko and her friends following on the Two-Tail. Sesshomaru started back on the track and followed it about a few miles north to a large open area where the scent was fainter. He felt the shifting of the wind and looked up to see a lady with dark hair and red eyes, wearing a feather in her hair. She had a fan in her hand as she sat on a feather smiling down upon him.
“Can I help you?” he growled at her.
“Well you can do me a favor and make killing you much easier to do by submitting yourself now!” she said cockily as she opened her fan.
“What do you want? I have no time for you!” he growled and leapt high in the air and snapped at the feather. But it just gained more altitude.
“I know, I know where your brother is. And lemme say this, he's having his life torn to shreds as well as his body and mind. It'd be amusing to watch if I had actually been in the same room. But I was just outside it. And I could hear his anguished screams as Naraku brought his whip down on him and I could hear his pain as he was impaled with pillars and Naraku's tentacles over and over again! I could smell the delicious blood pouring out of him! Ahh! How his screams were music to my ears!” she smiled at seeing his eyes began to show angry tears.
“SILENCE!” Sesshomaru roared in anger. Never in his life had he felt so angry and hurt. He had never really lost his cool like this before. But this could only happen with his brother. Only his brother could get him this way. “You will pay as well as your despicable master! Now DIE!”
“DANCE OF DRAGONS!” (A/N hope I got this right, I think it's Dance of the dragons though. Sorry if I got it wrong.) she said, attacking him with a strong wind dragon attack. It slashed open lacerations but it wasn't enough.
He would end this soon! He let out some poisonous gas and let her own wind bring it back to her and shroud her in poison! He leapt up higher and just got her feather in his mouth and let his poisonous acid saliva burn through the feather. She dropped like a rock and he caught her in his mouth and shook her like a rag doll.
“Not so fast!” she coughed as the poisons got to her. She had her fan on her still, she could still attach him! “Dance of blades!” she whipped it at his eye.
He howled in pain, pierced her with his fangs, and let her drop as he shook his head. His eye would heal eventually.
She had got to her feet and reached for another feather, but he stopped her as he shifted to his original form of a two-legged demon and unleashed his Tokijin and attacked...
Miles away
“I just saw him in his dog form in the distance, now where did he go?” asked Sango. “Maybe he had to take to his other form for some reason. Maybe someone is attacking him!”
“Maybe, but lets hurry!” Miroku said as he urged the two-tail onward.
“Wait! I sense a large piece of the jewel over there!” Kagome said suddenly as she pointed to eastern sky and some distant mountains. “It must be Naraku! I'm going to get my damn shards back from him today! Fucker!”
Kagome had lost her shards mysteriously one night about a few weeks ago while sleeping. She hadn't known what exactly happened but Naraku had got to them and she couldn't return home through the well and hope to come back. Without them she couldn't as only the sacred jewel connected her to their age. And to think of all the tests she was missing!
“Kilala! Head over there!” Sango said, pointing in the direction Kagome had sensed the Sacred Jewel coming from. “We shouldn't let the shards fall into his hands at the moment, he'll go fucking sex-crazed and shit!”
They nodded.
Shippo sniffed the air. “But you guys! I can smell Sesshomaru coming from where we were looking over to the north. Do you think we should go see if he is alright?”
“We should... but I know he wouldn't want us worrying about him. He would want us to go after his brother,” Miroku said logically.
“I see...” Shippo said, thinking it over before agreeing.
They traveled in silence as the sun started to sink below the mountains and it became darker. They would reach Naraku soon...
Back with Sesshomaru
“You are mine bitch!” he snarled, driving his Tokijin into her heart.
He watched Kagura fall to her knees and start to cough up blood. “You're a disgrace to all demons. Your life is meaningless. You deserve every pain I inflicted upon your worthless body!” Sesshomaru said, breathing hard with hatred in his cold angry eyesas Kagura's eyes narrowed.
“Naraku's to the north...” she coughed. “ I was to draw you further away from him. I thank you for releasing me from this body. Now I can be free like the wind.”
Sesshomaru glared down at her. “... Thanks...” he said before pulling his Tokijin from her body and shifting to his larger dog demon form.
“He'll have many demons coming for you. Naraku also has his barrier up. Be weary,” she said, taking her last breath and finally dying.
Sesshomaru quickly was off, taking as large running bounds as his tired body let him. He had traveled a few hundred miles to find his brother, and now that he knew where he could find him he was not about to give up. He wouldn't allow his brother to suffer any more than he had to.
As he ran with ground-consuming bounds he thought about his younger years before the battle, and how their lives were and how things would be after this. He knew that his brother might not be the same brother he once knew. The playful runt with the fiery temper of their father and heart like his mother. Ahh... and them silky dog ears he so envied...
He missed him so much... But this soon fueled his energy to get to him and he ran faster, making the ground shake even more as he went.
Memories of them sitting in the courtyard just cuddling and watching the day go by. Hot memories of them making love... and then many questions...
He would reach him soon...
Naraku's castle
InuYasha's breath hitched as he watched Naraku going to the other side of the room and look out to the sky on the balcony. Something was up. But regardless of what it was, he had to act now or never.
He was building up his energy, he had to strike Naraku hard. He had been able to move his arms with the cost of using his energy but now he could, because of the built up energy. He would get Naraku's eye. It'd be payback for his own eye. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth...
InuYasha watched as Naraku gave a random laugh, walked back over to him, sat on the bed, and rubbed InuYasha's leg as he began to stoke himself again. He crawled on top of him and grabbed InuYasha's throbbing member as heleaned down to bite his lip, and that's when InuYasha struck.
In a flash, he brought down his razor-sharp claws down Naraku's face, down his neck and down to his chest with a large anguished cry of pain they both cried.
InuYasha really didn't care if this was the end of the line for him. He had no real hope of coming out alive. Inside he was dead to himself. He was dead to the world. His brother was not coming... It'd had been about 2 months it seemed... In truth he didn't know how long he'd been captured. Not to mention the time he had already been gone. For all he knew this was a setup from the start...
He watched Naraku scream and hiss at him. “YOU WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN!” he roared as he started to hold out his hand as if he was holding something and then he started to squeeze.
InuYasha could suddenly feel his heart being squeezed. He screamed in pain and arched his back. The pain continued for another minutebefore it stopped and Naraku pulled out the whip again as he used his magic to lift the bindings so he was suspended in midair. Naraku smiled as he began to tear up his flesh. Back and front. The whip caught on some of his tail and tore chunks of fur out of it.
InuYasha put his tail between his legs to protect himself from any more damage.
“DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HARM ME? I DO NOT THINK SO!” he said bringing down the whip several times on each side before stopping.
Dripping in blood and sweat, he went slack in weakness.
“Plan to do anymore?”
“I really don't care anymore! Kill me!” he hissed weakly.
“I would... but where is the fun in that now?” he cackled moving InuYasha back down on the bed and tightened the bindings.
InuYasha would have fainted by now had he not been drugged. Too bad for him.
Naraku reached for two large skewers and smiled wickedly as he ran them down InuYasha's flesh, and down to his chest were he ran a long skewer under his nipples, piercing them. He ran the other one around his body unsure of where to put it... “Hmm... where to put this? Maybe through that pretty little tail of yours? Nah... maybe through your heart? I know where to put it there, it'd keep you alive, but slowly kill you!” he laughed as he brought it down in to InuYasha's chest and it pierced down into part of the heart muscle in the second blood chamber.
InuYasha bit his lip. He wouldn't give Naraku the satisfaction of his screams before he died. He refused!
“These my boy... are magical. It's a 50/50 chance of you dying should these be removed. But if they are not, you are sure to die.” He smiled as he ran his hand down InuYasha's blood slicked body to his throbbing member that still pulsed. “Pity that brother of your's isn't here right now to witness your death! He'll never make it in time!” he laughed evilly as he started on the torture again.
InuYasha's mind was clouded in pain. Had he just heard that his brother was on his way? Was it really real? Or was his mind just playing tricks on him as usual? He had to have heard it!
His mind began to race. He couldn't allow his brother to see him like this. He was a disgrace! Covered in blood, sweat, tears. Torn to shreds and just barely hanging on. The chances of him coming out alive were slim. He would hold on just a little longer... Just to see his brother's vengeance for his pain come forth. He wanted to see Naraku die!
He screamed as Naraku gave him another pent-up climax. Anymore he swore he would burst from it all!
A mile from Naraku's castle
Sesshomaru could see the others on the side of his flank. They had managed to catch up. They said nothing as they struggled to keep up with the ground eating bounds he was taking. He could hear his brother's screams throughout the night. He had been hearing them from about 9 miles back. However, no one else could but the tiny fox kit and the two-tail that was panting from the urge to get there. She and Shippo were urging Sango and the rest of them to hurry.
“Ride on my damn back if you need to rest!” he hissed as he continued. “ I will not wait for you!”
Kilala landed on the back of the massive dog demon and fought to catch her breath. The others clutched the fur and hung on while their fire cat was rested before continuing.
Shippo looked back at the giant holes in the ground where there were prints of where the dog demon had landed. They were craters!
“There is a barrier! We will need to get it down some how! Maybe you, monk, you could suck it in? Or possibly I could break through with my Tokijin?” Sesshomaru said.
“My wind tunnel will not do such a thing. But maybe this?” he said, holding up a old looking sword. “We found it on InuYasha when we found him. We took it off.”
Could it be? The Tetsusaiga? His brother's sword that could break the barrier? He could wield it but it'd cost him. But he was willing to do so. “You're a miracle!” he said. “That will do!”
They could feel the barrier and as they came closer they saw the iridescent purple and lavender color swirling. They climbed on Kilala and let Sesshomaru take to his smaller form.
“Give me the sword!” he called up to them.
The monk tossed it down and watched as Sesshomaru caught it. But then he saw that it was sparking and rejecting him.
Sesshomaru ignored the pain and drew out the Tetsusaiga. “Wind scar!” he roared as he slashed at the barrier. The barrier disappeared and he sheathed the sword before hurling it back into the monk's hands. “Take it! I can't hold it any longer!” he called looking at his blistered hands.
He really hated how his father had done that cursed spell on the damn sword. But it also possessed other purposes, as it prevented much stronger demons from wielding it, and prevented it from falling into the wrong hands.
Looking up at the sky he could see demons coming out.
He looked up at the demon slayer and her friends. “Don't worry! We have it covered!” she said whipping out the large boomerang on her back.
He nodded... “Thank you!” he said shifting back to his dog form and racing on to rescue his brother...
Inside Naraku's castle
They could feel the ground shake. The aura of anger and vengeance was radiating off the wind. This was going to be his end or his escape. Naraku knew that Sesshomaru was strong. He couldn't beat him in his condition. He was missing his eye and his neck was still bleeding. He couldn't kill him tonight. But perhaps another night. For now... he would have to kill his little brother before he could get to him!
Naraku released the bonds and grabbed InuYasha by his throat and threw him at the wall, where he hit it with a sickening cracking sound. He was sure to be dead.
He looked over at the bleeding limp body and went to pick up a large sword in the corner. He walked slowly to the body in the corner when just then Sesshomaru came crashing into the balcony transforming into a smaller demon. His eyes were rimmed with anger.
Sesshomaru's POV
I couldn't allow myself to look at my brother's body. My eyes had to be on the kill. If I were to look at the body, I knew I would have fallen apart.
There was the smell of blood, body fluids, fear, hate, lust, anguish, hurt, and pain radiating all over the place. I fought from gagging and emptying my stomach's contents all over the floor. I could wait to do that later. Right now, I had to kill the sick son of a fucking bitch!
“So you've arrived. It's about time. But it's too late as your pathetic brother didn't last long...he's dead now!” he laughed wickedly.
It couldn't be! I wouldn't believe it! I listened. I could hear the faint heartbeat in the corner. I blocked it out of my ears. I had to focus! “ This is the end of the fucking line for you, bitch!” I roared, drawing my Tokijin and rushing at him.
Our swords collided. Sparking and clanging.
I wouldn't let my anger blind me now. I was so close...I took a deep breath and calmed myself. The only thing that my anger would bring me was the certainty of my own defeat and my brother's fate of death.
“Today you will fall!” I said, deadly calm as I jabbed at his belly- only to give him a shallow wound. “Why do you lower yourself to such lowly creatures? I'm sure a demon like you would go for the big catches...”
“I am not what you think!” he said as he used one of his tentacles to make a grab for my feet, but I quickly jumped to escape the hideous things.
“Ah, yes, I smell it behind that foul scent of yours. You're nothing more than a half breed!” I said with a small smile as I ran at him and just got his hip before he parried it.
“Careful now, your brother is a half demon as well. You insult your own blood?” he asked.
“InuYasha...You've altered him!” I said as I recalled the new smell of him as I had entered the area. It had confused me. But there was no mistake, it was InuYasha's blood I smelt in my nostrils. I could insult that foul creature that gave the hanyou blood a foul reputation. “But I have no guilt in calling a hanyou like you a half demon! Your life is a waste! Now die!”
I ran at him again, I sliced him deep in his side but before I knew what was going on he immediately did an about-face and brought his sword down on my left arm, a few inches away from my elbow.
I screamed in pain and sheathed my sword to clutch my bleeding stump.
Naraku giggled and reached over to grab my arm. Without it I couldn't reattach it.
“I'll be taking this, and my leave. Until next time, farewell!” He fled out the balcony and into the night air.
I knew I should have gone after him. But I knew that my blood supply was decreasing rapidly; passing out would have occurred and my life would be in danger. I could wait for the next time and I would give him payback.
I looked out in the direction of the outside. The others had seen Naraku's departure and found that the Sacred Jewel was in Naraku's hands. I ignored it all. I looked at my brother's broken body in the corner and became enraged at all the blood that coated his almost lifeless body.
Forgetting my own injuries, I rushed over...
