Chapter Four- Death Cometh Swift
~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~
Inuyasha was pulled from his revery as the door slid softly open. Kagura peered into the room and gasped as she looked upon Sesshoumaru's unconscious body. The demoness faltered for a second before dashing awkwardly to Inuyasha's side.
"..w..what the hell happened? Inu? Was it.....?"
The hanyou nodded grimly. "Yeah, it was him. The asshole mouth-fucked him. "
Kagura winced and caressed Sesshoumaru's cheek lightly. "I saw Naraku leave the club. Thats why I came
looking for Sess." She glanced pityingly at the crumpled demon, examining the rips and gashes along his lips. "That bastard! He was smiling like a cat when he walked out!"
Inuyasha gave a slight nod of awknowledgment before once again becoming lost in his own thoughts.
~~***~~***~~***~~
(Flashback)
It had been neerly It had been nearly five years since Inu had first stumbled upon Inutaisho raping his older brother. Now ten years old, the hanyou was no longer the chubby little pup he once had been. Inuyasha had developed the slim, wellbuilt figure of a boy just growing into his body. His hair was silky white and as soft as goose's down. Even his eyes, though still as soft as ever, had tooken on a kind of angelic clarity.
Inuyasha lay stretched out on the dingy carpet, staring across the chess board at his older brother.
Sesshoumaru, now twelve years of age, had also matured. His silver locks tumbled down, gracefully framing his porcelin face in threads of starlight. The strange markings on his cheeks and forehead had become more defined and sharpened along with the rest of his features. Even Inu, in all his childhood innocence, could not help but see how incredibly beautiful the demon boy really was. It was because of this ethereal lovliness that Sesshoumaru's torment continued. Unsatisfied with just one fuck, Inutaisho had repeated his performance numerous times.
"Come on Sess! Hurry up and make your move." Inuyasha's ears twitched impatiently as his brother took
his time surveying the board.
"Be patient Inuyasha. Im trying to think."
"Well your taking too long."
"I need to form a strategy. You dont understand. The thing about chess is..." Sesshoumaru's voice was cut off abruptly as their father stomped gracelessly into the room.
"..Fa..Father," their timid voices rang out in unison. Inu felt his throat grow dry as Inutaisho's well-muscled form lumbered toward them. Though Inutaisho had never abused his youngest son sexually, the youkai's rough slaps and angry words were enough to set fear in the young boy's heart. He growled in satisfaction as both boys snapped to attention. Inuyasha whimpered and clung tightly to his brother's sleeve, but Sesshoumaru just stood, back rigid as iron, cold eyes fixed on their father. Yes, the boy may have looked fearless, but Inuyasha could feel him shaking.
"Where's yer mother?" Inutaisho's slightly drunk voice grated the hanyou's senses like sandpaper.
"I...dont know," Inuyasha replied praying the man wouldn't be too angry. "She...she left few hours ago. I
dont know where she went."
Their father snorted in disgust. "Figures. Stupid whore. Probably fucking around with some banker."
Despite himself, a faint snarl of anger drifted from Inu's clenched little fangs. Inutaisho looked at him
sharply. "Fuckin' little mutt. Don't think about talking back to me. I'll brake ya worse than..." A nasty smile formed on the youkai's lips as he leered dangerously at his other son. " Well, Im sure Sess could fill ya in on how THAT goes." Rage flashed briefly through Sesshoumaru's eyes, for a moment chipping his perfect mask of apathy. Inutaisho's smile only deepened. "Keep it up boy. If you get hurt, ya only got yerself to blame. Careful or I'll take ya right here, just like the little bitch ya are." Sesshoumaru's eyes glowed daggers as his father spoke.
"Don't call me that." The words were soft, no more than a tremulous murmer, but their effect was devistating.
"I'll call you whatever the hell I like YOU LITTLE SLUT!" Their father's eyes flushed crimson as he took a
threatening step towards the boys. "Apparently last night wasn't good enough! I'll just have to show you your place, welp."
Still grinning fiercely, Inutaisho belted Sesshoumaru hard across the face, sending his son reeling. Another punch in the stomach forced him crashing to his knees. Inuyasha clung tightly to his brother, hoping against hope that he might in some way be able to protect Sess from impending disaster. It was a kind but inadequete gesture. With another monstrous heave their father ripped the hanyou from his brother's arm, forcing him harshly against the wall.
"LITTLE BASTARD! YER GONNA STAY RIGHT THERE AND WATCH THIS! SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO ANYONE WHO
FUCKS WITH ME!"
Inuyasha, nose and mouth bleeding, dragged himself into the corner, too afraid to move. It was like de
ja vu all over again. The hanyou watched in horror as Inutaisho shoved Sesshoumaru onto his back and
began ripping off the young boy's clothing. He dug his claws angrilly into his son's flesh, chuckling
darkly as Sess shook with unbridaled fear. Slowly Inutaisho ran a claw down the young youkai's spine,
smirking as he squirmed in discomfort.
"..pl..please..Father..." A look of wild terror clouded Sesshoumaru's gaze. He thrashed about desperately, trying to shove his father back and crawl away at the same time. Inutaisho straddled the boy's waist, forcing him down as he undid his belt. Inuyasha sobbed as the youkai began to beat Sesshoumaru. Angry red marks marred cream-colored skin as the buckle made contact with a loud crack. Inutaisho continued whipping his son until the boy ceased to struggle and lay bruised and whimpering beneath him.
"Turn over whore." Flinching more from the cruel words than the comand itself, Sesshoumaru reluctantly
heaved himself onto his stomach. Inutaisho smiled nastily at Inuyasha. "Don't go anywhere, pup. I
want you to see this." The adult demon quickly removed the clothes from his lower body. Grabbing Sess
by the hips, he pulled the boy towards him before carefully positioning his shaft at the boy's tight entrance.
Sesshoumaru gritted his teeth, all too aware of how the youkai's ten inch cock was going to feel jammed all the way up his ass. WIth a deepthroated grunt Inutaisho shoved his whole shaft inside his son. The boy's body convulced, but he refused to cry out as his father slammed into him again.
"SCREAM FOR ME BITCH!" The adult youkai dug his claws into his son's ass, causing blood to run down his sides in little sanguine rivers. Sesshoumaru bit into the carpet beneath him. He ground his teeth into the toughened fibers, biting back the cries that threatened to escape from his throat. With an angry snarl Inutaisho grabbed the boy by the hair, jerking his head back roughly. Sesshoumaru gasped as he was forced to look into his father's bloodshot eyes. With another grunt, the youkai thrust his dick even deeper into his son's ass. Pain exploded through the young demon's body, traveling up his uncomfortably arched back til it throbbed like the wail of a banshee in his ears.
Inuyasha shook, his tiny body wracked with desprate sobs. Inutaisho had let his son's head drop, and Sesshoumaru now stared pleadingly at his little brother, his eyes begging silently for help. The hanyou wanted to save his brother, to push their beast of a father away and hold Sess in his arms. He wanted to see his brother's peaceful smile, his eyes soft and loving as they once had been. Instead all Inuyasha could do was stare on dumbly as the last of Sesshoumaru's innocence was ripped from him.
Inutaisho's eyes glowed in fustration. Never before had he been unable to break the will of his son. The
boy had always been hard but never so unresponsive. His gaze fell on the form of his younger son. Was
it because of Inuyasha's presense that Sesshoumaru refused to give in? A cruel smile formed on the
youkai's lips. "Yes," he muttered. "I do know how to break you."
"Get over here boy!" Inuyasha cowered backwards as Inutaisho's steely gaze fell upon him. With a grunt of annoyance the youkai pulled his still erect member from Sess's limp body and advanced upon the hanyou boy. "Come here," he hissed as he grabbed Inu by the back of his neck and dragged him bodily towards Sesshoumaru. With no effort whatsoever, the youkai shoved his son to the ground next to his brother. Sess cried out in horror as their father began to force off Inuyasha's clothing.
"What...no! STOP THAT!"
Inutaisho smiled as Sesshoumaru struggled against the aching of his body to push the older youkai off
his brother. "DON'T! FATHER PLEASE!" The man leered drunkenly at his eldest son as he straddled the
boys hips.
"What are you going to do Slut?" He chuckled darkly. "I need to hear someone scream. If not you, then
I'm sure this mutt will do just fine." Inutaisho ground his hips roughly against Inu's as if to emphasize the point.
With a strangled yell, Sesshoumaru lunged at his father. Surprised by the sudden assault, Inutaisho rolled clumsily off Inuyasha. He howled in rage as the younger youkai drove his small, needle-sharp claws into his chest. "BITCH!" He spat. "WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU, YOU"LL WISH YE WERE NEVER BORN!" The whole room shook as Inutaisho lurched after his rebelious son. Inuyasha, his tiny veins now ignighted with demon blood, attached himself to th man's leg, burying his sharp teeth into his father's flesh. Panting with adreniline Sesshoumaru lept behind the coffe table just in tim as Inutaisho's talons splintered the flimsy wood. He grabbed an empty beer bottle and threw it with all his might at the snarling demon.
"INUYASHA, LET GO OF HIM AND RUN!" the boy screamed at his brother as he dodged another attack. "YOU IDOIT! GET AWAY!" Inutaisho realed as the glass shattered against his head. The hanyou lept away just in time as their father fell to the floor.
There was a moment of silence. Nothing could be heard but the boy's labored breathing. Inutaisho did
not stir as the dust settled in the wretched apartment. Both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru jumped in
surprise as the front door slid open.
Izayoi gasped as she was greated with a scene so picturesquely morbid it looked like something right out of a twisted play. Her husband lay naked and unconscious amid the ruins of their little coffee table. At the other side of the room stood her two sons. They too were naked. Sesshoumaru blushed and pulled his jeans on quickly as the woman entered, but not before she glimpsed with horror, the injury Inutaisho had inflicted. Izayoi dashed over to Inuyasha, horrified at what their father may of done.
"INU! WHAT....what did he do?" The woman sobbed breathlessly against her son's little shoulder, berating herself for what her son must have been through.
The hanyou patted his mother's back comfortingly as he too pulled on his pants which still hung about his knees. "Its ok Momma. He.....he didn't do anything to me. Sess, Sesshi saved me." Izayoi turned to look at her stepson. Sesshoumaru stood several feet away, passionless eyes advertedly staring at the floor. For the first time she noted the horrible bruises covering his upper body. Deep gashes ran down his lower back, and blood had soaked through his tattered pants. His hands were jammed deep into his pockets, and the boy's silver hair fell down before his face, matted and lanky with sweat. A wave of guilt welled up inside her as Izayoi realized how uncaring she had been towards Sesshoumaru. She had not bothered protecting him, showering all her love instead upon her biological son. And yet....even after all the pain the boy had been through, he still protected Inuyasha.
"Sesshoumaru," she whispered softly. He turned away, his eyes completely impassive. "Sesshoumaru...
please." A flash of anger flickered through the demon boy's eyes as he forced himself to meet the woman's gaze. "I'm so sorry Sesshoumaru.... please....please forgive me." The boy opened his mouth to speak, but could find nothing to say. A part of him wanted so desperately to fall into her outstretched arms, to feel the way he hadn't felt since his own mother had died, but there was the other part, the part of him so twisted and injured by pain that it would like nothing more than to rip her apart, to make her feel the pain he had been made to live through for too many days to count. But there was the love he had for Inuyasha as well, and it was this that ultimately kept his feet rooted to the floor.
Izayoi stifled a sob. Sesshoumaru would never forgive her, but then wasn't that what she deserved. After
all the years she'd let him suffer, didn't he have the right to despise her.
Suddenly an angry growl shook the apartment as, like a ogre from hell, Inutaisho rose laborously to his
feet. His fiery eyes rolled, and his fangs gnashed together as the youkai took a step towards Izayoi and
her son.
"DIE WHORE!" he screamed as he slammed the woman with all his strength against the wall. Inuyasha cried out as her neck broke with a defining snap. Both children watched in horror as their father dashed Izayoi's body repeatedly against the wall until it hung limply from his hand. Inuyasha howled with rage, barreling himself against the great youkai with all the force in his little body. Inutaisho laughed insanely as he grabbed the boy and shoved him to the floor. He smiled sadisticly as the youkai spread his dead wife's legs and pushed his wailing son between them. " Go ahead boy, fuck her!" Inuyasha struggled blindly as the scent of his mother's death overwelmed him. " Stop struggling, welp. Ya gotta learn sooner or later." Inutaisho shoved his son's face up to her cunt listening with satisfaction to the boy's sobs. He would show them all. He would make his sons pay as Izayoi had. Only he'd kill them slower. He'd fuck them til they screamed for death. Then after he'd cut off their dicks, he'd make them eat em. By the time Inutaisho was done with the welps they'd wish they were dead.
But Inutaisho was never able to carry out his plans. At that moment a searing pain blossomed at the back of the youkai's neck. He felt his flesh splitting apart and opened his mouth to scream, but only blood came out. Inutaisho turned around, eyes bulging as he gasped for breath. Sesshoumaru's hate-filled gaze swam before him, glittering with the grim satisfaction shown only by those who have destroyed the cause of their pain but have suffered to long to really care. With a final shuddering gasp their father slumped onto the floor, his eyes misted over with death.
The brothers sat for a long time after that, Inuyasha crying unabashed into his brother's arms. Sesshoumaru turned his face away, hiding not his tears from his little brother, but his lack there of. The demon boy was sorry Izayoi had died, not because he had loved her, but because Inuyasha had and it hurt to see him like this. He had not cried at his own mother's demise and certainly would not now. Finally, as the sun slipped behind the horizon of freeways and highrises, the little hanyou fell asleep. Sesshoumaru gazed, enthralled into his brother's moonwashed face. "I'll always protect you," he whispered into Inu's ear as he too drifted off into a world ruled by dreams and nightmares. How were they to know that the painful tale of their lives was just beginning.
