Chapter Five- From One Hell to Another

~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***
It was one o'clock in the morning and the whole city was cold and silent as death. Snow fell softly, whipped about by the gentle breeze. The streets and sidewalks were covered with the little crystals of ice, momentarily turning the grey metropolis into a starlit wonderland. Two little figures huddled together on the doorstep of an abandonned wearhouse, their silver hair and porclein skin making them indistinguishable from the whirling snow around them. Only the deep gold of the children's eyes and faded colors of their ragged clothing gave them any shape at all in the sea of white.

"Sess..." The older boy stirred as his brother's frail voice broke the night's silence.

"Mmmm..."

"Sess, I can't sleep. Its so cold." Inuyasha snuggled closer to his big brother, who wrapped his arms
tightly around the little hanyou.

"Don't worry. We'll find a warmer place to stay tomorrow." Sesshoumaru gazed out into the snow. It
had been over two monthes since their parents' death. Two monthes of living on the streets, of being
cold and having almost nothing to eat.

"Sess? Sess, I'm hungry."

The demon boy sighed. " I'm sorry. There's no food." It had been almost four days since they had last eaten. Sesshoumaru's youkai blood sustained him, but Inuyasha had become weak and shaky from the lack of food. Sess would have to do something soon. He had lost so much. His home, his childhood, his innocence. The older boy drew his little brother into a tighter embrace. He couldn't afford to lose Inuyasha. The hanyou was all he had left.

~~***~~***~~***~~

The bar Sesshoumaru had chosen lay at the edge of the city docks, perhaps 200 yards from the garbage
tainted waters. The little building was dim and filled with smoke. The putrid air smelled strongly of alcohal and sex. The boy mingled with the drunken men and women, on the lookout for a likely victim. He needed someone small enough to overpower, preferably a human. Finally Sesshoumaru spotted what he was looking for. Slightly apart from a group of giggly cat demons sat a stooped figure, back hunched and bleary eyes fixed dully on the floor.

Sesshoumaru could sense that he was a demon, but the man's thin arms and twisted figure convinced
the boy he could easily take on this wretched figure if need be. Slowly he inched towards his prey until he stood about three feet away. Still the demon did not appear to notice the boy. Sesshoumaru
mewled softly in the back of his throat, the noise somewhere between a cough and a moan. Imediately the lavender haired demon's head snapped up. He looked at the boy with his cold, purple eyes and smiled slyly.

"Ahhhh, so you are the one who's been stalking me." The demon's voice sent unwelcome tremors down
Sess's spine as he forced himself to meet the youkai's gaze. "Your quite a sight I must say," the demon
continued. "Sooooo beautiful are we not?" Sesshoumaru was taken slightly aback. He hadn't expected
things to go like this. Something wasn't right about this man. He had came here expecting to seduce his victim into a false sense of security, steal his cash, and run like hell, but something in this man's eyes told Sesshoumaru that wasn't how it was going to work out."Ahhh yes you are sooooo beautiful. My employer will be most pleased with you."

Before Sesshoumaru could reply, two strong arms encircled him from behind. He struggled desperatly, gasping for air as the boy's captor tightened his grip. A sack was thrust roughly over Sesshoumaru's head as he was dragged out of the bar onto the docks. He heard the thin man's rattling laughter and shuttered. What would happen to Inuyasha if they were separated? The hanyou was too young to care for himself. Even if he could, in his present weakness, the boy would surely die. With a sob of rage, Sesshoumaru lashed out blindly, but the thin man only laughed and the one who held him remained silent.

Finally they stopped walking and Sesshoumaru was knocked to the ground. The sack was ripped off,
and the boy found himself looking up into the eyes of yet another man, this time a human. "You did well, Kageromaru. This boy will be worth the trouble." Malicious blue eyes bore into Sess. It felt as if his skin was burning as the man's gaze raked accross his helpless body. The human had shoulder length brown hair and slightly tan skin. His arms were thick and muscular, unlike those of Kageromaru.

"Thank you, Musou. Juromaru and myself are always happy to please you."

"Heh! Well i supose you would be considering how much I pay you."

Sesshoumaru rolled over and looked up into the faces of his captors. Juromaru must have been the one
who attacked him from behind. He looked similar to Kageromaru, but not so wretchedly thin. His eyes,
purple like those of his brother, were completely blank. Sesshoumaru shifted his gaze once again to the
man called Musou."Who are you, and why have you dragged me out here?" The boys eyes flashed angrily as the human sneered back at him with a look of disgust.

"Well now, thats no way to talk to your superiors, boy. I'll demand more respect in the future."

The young demon growled. "What do you meen in the future?"

Kageromaru began to laugh again, and Musou's smile grew wider. "Exactly that, boy. You work for me now."

"Work for you? I don't think so."

"Hmmmm...I was afraid it would come to this." The human narrowed his eyes menacingly. "You have two
choices. Either you work for me, or....." The man slipped quickly into one of the dock's old fishing sheds. He reamerged seconds later with a small bundle that seemed to be moving. Sesshoumaru gasped in horror, realizing who this mishappen little creature was.

"INUYASHA!"

Musou's grin looked as if it would split his face in half. "So THATS the mutt's name is it? Well I'm sure
even street scum like you will understand the consequences if you should choose to walk away from this...career opportunity."

"Sess...Sess!" The hanyou began to struggle, his weakened body straining with all its might against the
tight ropes that bound him. Musou held the child over the edge of the dock so that he swung precariously above the crashing waves.

Sesshoumaru glared helplessly at the human, knowing he had no choice, that whatever foul use this Musou had for him, he was powerless to stop it. "Alright, I'll do what you say."

Musou smiled triumphantly and tossed Inuyasha onto the ground. "I'm glad you see things my way. Now,
if you'll be so kind as to follow me....Sesshoumaru."

"What about Inuyasha? Let him go first!"

"Don't worry. I'll leave Juromaru to take care of him. Why are you looking so glum? Of all the people your going to meet he's the safest one to leave with Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru whirled around catching Juromaru's eye in one of his own penetrating glares.

"Don't hurt him, or I promise, I will kill you." The lavender haired demon made no
reply, but Sesshoumaru saw his head give an almost imperceptible nod. Satisfied, the boy bent down and loosened his brother's bonds. "Don't worry Inu. You'll be alright. Just stay with him til I get back." The hanyou whimpered fearfully but nodded in agreement. Without another word Sesshoumaru followed Musou and Kageromaru down the docks into another low built building he hadn't noticed before.

All around him were what seemed to be small stalls, each separated by cutains of fake satin. He could hear groans and drunken laughter comimg from behind the rustling cloth. These sounds made Sesshoumaru want to cry, to run as far and as fast as he could away from this wretched place. For a brief instant his entire soul was consumed with unchecked fear as once again the boy saw his father's glowing eyes and felt the burning pain of Inutaisho's flesh inside him. He couldn't breath, thinking for all the world that he would die right there, but then the voice of Sesshoumaru's brother resounded through his mind. "Sess?....Sess!" Inuyasha needed him. No matter what happened, Sesshoumaru would never allow harm to come to his hanyou brother.

Musou shook his new slut roughly by the shoulder. "So you know what kind of business i run, and what I
expect you to do? Its a good thing I found you. I've been losing customers lately. Hopefully someone as
unusual as you will bring them back." Sesshoumaru shrunk away from the human's hand and stood facing him, eyes wide with terror.

An unwelcome emotion passed through Musou's mind as he stared back into those golden orbs. This
child was like a beautiful caged thing, so sorrowful yet so exquisite. He seemed so young and innocent,
yet the human sensed that Sesshoumaru understood all too well the pain that lay ahed.

"Tell me boy, how old are you."

Sesshoumaru appeared lost for a second before pulling his mind back into realitly.
"Almost thirteen. Why should you care about that anyway?"

Musou ignored this question. This boy was younger than he'd first thought. "Are you still a virgin."

The boy's cheeks turned bright crimson as he stared down at the floor. "Iie."

For a moment Musou's heart welled with pity. This child, so torn and broken by the world, how could he
possibly do to him what others had already done before? Would he really be so evil as to further rob him
of his already shattered innocence? But just as quickly as these thoughts surfaced, they were forced back down again, down into the darkest depths of his soul where some shred of morality still clung feebly to life. Musou's eyes glinted fiercely as he met Sesshoumaru's terrified gaze.

" Good. Then at least you'll have some experience when start to teach you."

~~***~~***~~***~~

Both Inuyasha and Kagura looked up suddenly as the door opened with a slight creak. Miroku stood in
the doorway, closely followed by the human girl, Sango.

Miroku gasped as he entered the room. "What the hell? God! What happened to Sesshoumaru?"

Sango merely stood, eyes wide, as she stared down at the two brothers and her prickly demon
lover, who now looked up at her, tears glinting in the back of her scarlet irises. The young woman stepped past Miroku and sat down at her lover's side. Kagura looked at her and touched her own tears sadly. "Sango, I'm...sorry I left so quickly. Its just..." Words failed the young demoness as she choked back a sob.

Miroku sat heavily on the ground. "God," he muttered shaking his head. Inuyasha continued to stroke his brother's hair, once again completely oblivious to those around him. The hanyou's gaze turned inward, remembering the grueling year and a half spent working for Musou in his whorehouse.

~~***~~***~~***~~
(into the past Inuyasha age 12, Sess age 14)

Sesshoumaru focused all his attention on the flickering of the weak fleurescent light, trying to think of
anything but Kageromaru's cold shaft penetrating his body. Damn! Even with a fullblown erection, it was
as if the demon's cock was made of ice. Sesshoumaru detested Kageromaru nearly as much as he did
Musou, and would have gladly given up his weekly session with him, but as the purple-haired youkai was
one of his employer's minions, the boy had no choice but to comply with the demon's wishes.
Kageromaru drove in sharply, causing the dog demon under him to buck his hips up in suprise as well as pain. The man's scyth like fingernails dug into Sesshoumaru's forearms, causing blood to seep onto the futon's wrinkled sheets. He gave a hideous groan of pleasure as the orgasm ripped through him. The boy gasped more out of disgust for having Kageromaru's semen forced into him than anything else. The white fluid, not burning but as chilly as the demon's dick seemed to swim about inside him, causing waves of nausea to well up in his stomach. Kageromaru collapsed down upon Sesshoumaru's chest, panting heatedly. He looked with annoyance at the boy's cool, emotionless face.

"Damn you, boy. No emotion? Not even the slightest hint of fear or lust!" With a hiss of fustration, Kageromaru dug his teeth into the young demon's neck. Sesshoumaru growled and tried desperatly to rip himself away, but the youkai's thin arms held him down with unnatural strength. "Thats it... Ahhhhh, yesss. Remember what fear tastes like!" Kageromaru's muffled whispers only made the boy struggle harder. Grinning sickly, the man dug his fangs as deep as possible into the exposed flesh. Finally, with another small hiss, he pulled away from Sesshoumaru, glaring down at him triumphantly. "Remember little Sesshoumaru, dogs were bred to serve." The boy snarled angrily and lept to his feet but was imediatly thrown to the ground again. Damn! He was just too weak! With a soft laugh Kageromaru brushed past the curtains, leaving Sesshoumaru alone in the makeshift room.

Sesshoumaru touched the wound on his neck with distaste. The mark would fade away in time, just as the others had, but he would always be left with a reminder of how lowly and unclean he really was. Musou had not given the dog demon a job. He had made him a slave! Unwilling to pay the boy, Musou always instructed the customers to give the payment directly to him. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were trapped. It was either starve on the streets or scrape out what meager existence they could, working for the cold-hearted pimp. Sesshoumaru's rumbling stomach brought him out of his revery. He clutched himself tightly, willing the aching pain to go away. What he wouldn't give for a full meal, but Musou forbid it, saying that if Sess got fat, he wouldn't be near as appealing. 'Its not that,' the boy thought disgustedly. 'He's just too much of a cheap bastard to even give his whores some decent food!' Sess shuddered in selfloathing. Well it was true, wasn't it. He was nothing more than a filthy whore...

The curtains rustled again. Musou's blue eyes seemed to penetrate Sesshoumaru's thoughts as he
entered. " What the hell do you think your doing welp? I dont keep you here just to sit and look pretty." The demon barely had time to pull on his jeans as his human boss shoved him roughly out into the cold night air. "Make yourself useful and earn some money!" Without a word Sesshoumaru turned and walked up the street not even looking back.

Inu leaned against a streetlamp, waiting for his brother to arrive. After his session with Kageromaru, Sess would be in a foul mood. The hanyou sighed. His demon brother had grown so cold in the past year. His beautiful eyes, once so soft, had gone chillingly apathetic, and his face had taken on the gaunt appearance that should have belonged to a convict rather than a fourteen year old child. Inuyasha looked up and waved as Sesshoumaru finally came into view. The youkai raised his hand briefly in greetings before jamming it back into the depths of his jeans pockets. Even the way Sess walked was reminescent of an old man. He stared fixedly at the ground, head bent. "Hey," Inu said quietly as his brother joined him under the streetlamp.

Sesshoumaru nodded slightly in reply.

"Where's your shirt? It freezing."

"Who are you, my mother?"

Inuyasha's ears drooped dejectedly. Sesshoumaru felt a small pang of guilt as he watched the hanyou's
puppy-dog ears, dripping from the light drizzle, and large amber eyes tremble pathetically. With a sigh
that sounded more annoyed than he had intended, the youkai ruffled his brother's hair affectionatly. "Don't worry. I'm not cold."

Inu gave a nod and smiled, but his eyes still shone with worry. "Okay, Sess." Just then, an expensive looking black car pulled up beside the boys. Imediately Sess wrapped his arms around Inuyasha, making small cooing noises as he used his teeth to tug playfully at the hanyou's floppy ears. In return, Inu latched himself on to the youkai's waist, dragging his tongue slowly up Sesshoumaru's bare chest as he delved his hands into his older brother's pants. As expected, the car window unrolled, and a man cried out to them from inside the vehicle.

"Both of you! How much?"

Sesshoumaru smiled seductivly and walked towards the car, allowing his loose jeans to slip even lower on his potruding hips. "Depends on how far you want to go." Inuyasha followed close behind, his smile a perfect copy of his older brother's. The man looked over at the hanyou who blinked his large eyes in false innocence. They couldn't have made a better pair, Inuyasha as warm and adorable as Sesshoumaru was cold and beautiful. So similar, yet so different. With a snort of impatience the man threw open the car door, allowing the brothers to crawl inside. "Where do you work at?"

"At Musou's, third warehouse on the pier." With a screech of rubber, the black car skidded off down the road towards the whorehouse.
