Chapter Eight- You Are Mine
~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~***~~
Slowly, Sesshoumaru opened his eyes to the river of sunlight that spilled over his face. The past night's
events seemed far away. For a moment, the youkai lay frozen in time, letting the sun's flame-tipped rays caress his creamy flesh. It was only when he tried to speak that all that had happened came flooding back to him.
"H..huuh..feh..," Sesshoumaru mumbled in annoyance, attempting to form words with his abused throat
and lips. "Heh...In..u...argg.." Growling angrily, he gave up talking and pulled himself wearily out of bed. Surprisingly enough, besides his burning throat and lungs, his body felt almost normal. 'Thank you once again, demon blood,' Sess thought as he started peeling off the remainder of his clothes, eagerly anticipating the warmth of a scalding hot shower.
As he washed, the youkai wondered why he'd been brought to Inuyasha's house instead of his own. After all Sess's house was a whole three blocks closer. Perhaps it was a human thing, not wanting to leave his brother even when there was no longer a threat. Either way, Sesshoumaru wasn't really up to arguing. After scrubbing for a minute, Sesshoumaru knelt down, facing the drain. After another shaky breath the youkai quickly jammed two fingers down his throat, trying his best to muffle a gag. Though he'd dispelled most of Naraku's seed the night before, he could still feel some of the liquid chewing at his esophagus and stomach. Ignoring the pain, Sesshoumaru let several drops of poison leak from his claws. The venom had its desired effect. Within seconds the demon was vomitting up what little was left inside his body. He sighed softly, noting with relief that his belly felt much better. Wrapping one of Inuyasha's ratty, old towels around his waist, Sess wondered briefly whether or not it would kill his brother to do some laundry once in while before stepping back into the main room.
The hanyou was sitting cross-legged on the bed when Sesshoumaru returned. His ears flattened back
menacingly as he glared at his older brother.
"What the HELL do you think you're DOING?" Inuyasha raged. "Do you have ANY IDEA how badly your throat could have been injured? Do you REALLY think that making yourself puke MORE is gonna help?" Sesshoumaru bit back one of his uncharacteristic grins. The hanyou sounded more maternal than his own mother, not that the youkai's mom had ever really been the maternal type in the first place. Inuyasha, noting his brother's amusement, grew even redder. Grabbing the nearest object he could find, an old TV guide, he chucked it at Sesshoumaru's head. Within moments, the hanyou lay flat on the floor, the demon's strong arms pinning him down.
"Do you really think that throwing things at me is going to help," he murmered mockingly. Inuyasha glared daggers at his older brother as the youkai smirked softly.
"Dammit, gerrroff!!!" Instead, Sesshoumaru pulled even closer, wrapping his legs around the hanyou's hips as he pushed his face into the other's wild mass of hair. Inuyasha, his pride wounded, tried to push away, but stopped as his own body began to burn and sweat. He forcefully bucked his hips, grinning as Sesshoumaru gave a small gasp. The youkai latched on to Inu's neck, sucking passionately in retaliation. Groaning heavily, the hanyou grabbed two fistfuls of his brother's still damp hair, thrusting upwards against his partner's stiffening erection. Detatching himself from Inuyasha's neck, Sesshoumaru braced his arms against the carpet, peeling away the hanyou's clothing with his fangs.
When Inuyasha lay nude before him, the youkai bent down, licking his nipples with a heated tongue. Inu
shivered in delight, his skin tingling as just the faintest trace of Sesshoumaru's poison came into contact with his flushed chest. Damn! That shit was good for more than just fighting. The venom's intoxicating scent hit him full force as the youkai dragged him into a sudden kiss, shoving his tongue into the recesses of Inu's mouth. It was like an aphrodisiac. Within seconds, the hanyou's hands left his brother's hair and began to violently rub his own leaking shaft. Sesshoumaru, not completely ignorant of his poison's sexual powers, breathed heavily against Inuyasha's cheek. With a strangled yelp, the hanyou grabbed his agressor's towel, using enough force to rip the threadbare fabric as he sought out the youkai's weak spot.
"I've got you know, Sesssssss," Inuyasha taunted, giving his brother's member a powerful squeaze. With a cry that was only slightly human, Sesshoumaru's arms buckled, sending him crashing down upon Inu's exposed body. Seizing his chance, the hanyou wrapped an arm constrictively around Sesshoumaru's shoulders, holding him down as he continued to tease his brother's shaft.
"Inu! Ahhhh..stop playing.." It was the hanyou's turn to smirk. As apathetic as Sesshoumaru could be, he knew that if you touched the youkai in just the right way, it was easy to make the stoic demon react.
"Only a little pay back, Oni-san. After that little poison trick, you're one to talk of playing games!"
His body convulcing with pleasure again as the hanyou squeazed his cock, Sesshoumaru bit down hard on his brother's nipple. Hissing in surprise as well as lust, Inuyasha released Sess and spread his legs. With nauseating slowness, the youkai dragged his still venom-tainted tongue down Inuyasha's belly. Arching his back, the hanyou resisted the urge to pleasure himself. Upon reaching Inu's naval he stopped. Wrapping his lips around the shallow dip, the youkai pushed his hungry tongue into the hollow. Inuyasha let out a gasp as his brother began to explore his bellybutton with the slick apendage, frenching it as if it were the hanyou's mouth. Gripping the surrounding skin gently with his teeth, he began to suck, grunting softly as he did so.
Finally, Inuyasha pushed his brother's head away, and gave him a mischievious look. "Come on, Sess. Enough playing. I say we get down to the real thing."
"Ready whenever you are, Inuyasha."
Smirking in anticipation, Inuyasha rolled onto his belly. The youkai straddled his ass. After giving his partner a chance to relax, he slid down, and in one smooth motion, sheathed himself in the hanyou's burning passage. Grunting wolfishly, Sesshoumaru began to make small thrusts. Inuyasha met them, pushing his backside up against the youkai's hips. Gradually the brothers' movements became more frantic until the unfortunate people in the apartment below could actually here the thump each time Sesshoumaru thrust. The youkai could feel the heat traveling from his groin throughout the rest of his lower abdoman. With Naraku once again out of his mind, he buried his cock still deeper into Inuyasha's willing flesh. With a feral-sounding shriek, the hanyou reached his climax, his whole lower body convulsing as semen spill onto the hardwood floor. Feeling Inu's walls constricting around him, Sesshoumaru too reached his limit. "INUYASHA!" the youkai screamed as his orgasm took hold. With a
final thrust, he fell on top of his brother's heated body.
Inuyasha stroked his brother's hair fondly. "That was....OH SHIT!" Both men scrambled to their feet as the tapping sound came again. "The door!" Inuyasha grumbled irritably as he fumbled in his dresser for some pants. "Just a God damn second! I'm fucking.......oh hey guys." The hanyou's demeanor changed instantly as he opened the door. It wasn't the bill collector or his bitchy neighbors after all. It was Kanna and Shiori, Kagura's two children.
"Hi Mr. Inu," Shiori piped up as she wrapped her arms around his knees. "Mommy went to work, and the babysitter's sick so she told us to come here! Isn't that great?"
Inuyasha groaned inwardly. It was just like Kagura to do that, dropping off the couple of brats without even telling him. 'Oh well,' he thought. 'At least its better than her crying like last night.'
"Well I guess you'd better come on in, pups. Sess is here too if you want to see him." Shiori let out a little shriek of delight, and even Kanna, who was shy to the point of muteness, nodded at him briefly before following her sister to look for the elusive dog demon.
Prudently shutting up the bedroom, which was still a mess from their prior activities, Sesshoumaru strolled into the kitchen to greet the girls. Inuyasha bit his lip as his stomach gave a slight lurch. As usual, his lover looked absolutly stunning. His hair hung like a pearly curtain, framing his androgenous body, which rose and fell as he panted gently. Sesshoumaru, having nothing else to wear, had put on a pair of Inu's pajama bottoms, the silk ones with tiny blue pawprints on them, leaving his well-muscled chest and the top of of his hip bones exposed.
Sesshoumaru cracked a lop-sided grin as Shiori barreled into him, her insignificant weight barely stirring a hair on his head. She looked up at him through lilac-tinted locks and smiled, her eyes, the color of dusk, twinkling softly.
"Hello Shiori. You've been well I trust."
The girl beamed as she looked up into the demon's calm face. "Oh, yes! We were so happy when Mommy told us Ms. Yura was sick." She leaned up to Sesshoumarur with an air of secrecy. "Kanna and I don't like her very much." Sess's grin grew a bit wider. He'd only met Kagura's friend, Yura once before. He'd found her exceedingly annoying.
"Hello Mr. Sesshoumaru." The youkai's eyes softened even more as he focused on the other girl, Kanna. She stood several feet away, snow-white hair and dark, indigo eyes shimmering with an almost supernatural radiance. Sess sank gracefully to the ground as the frail child snuggled with her sister against the warmth of his chest.
"And how are you, Miss Kanna."
The little girl smiled but did not reply, comunicating her answer to the youkai with one of her rare but ever so lovely smiles. Inuyasha watched from the doorway with a smile of his own. For all his coldness, Sesshoumaru seemed to hold a special place in his stoic heart for children. It was strange to see one so bitter, so serious and apathetic completely melt around the two girls. Inuyasha didn't know quite where his brother had developed such a softness, but then he wasn't complaining.
Sesshoumaru finally stood, detangling himself from the arms of his little charges. Inuyasha smiled down at them. "Alright, you can go watch TV or something. Sesshoumaru and I have to talk." Looking slightly disappointed, Shiori and Kanna walked over to the living room, leaving the brothers in peace. Making sure that the girls were out of earshot, the hanyou turned to the demon.
"You can't go on like this you know," he whispered. "That Naraku's gonna kill you. I know you don't believe me Sess, but I've seen that look in his eyes. Whatever he's done to you so far, its only gonna get worse."
Sesshoumaru's features clouded slightly. How could he explain. Inuyasha was right, but he couldn't just call it off, stop seeing Naraku. There was something about the dark-haired youkai. It was as if Sesshoumaru were trapped, bound to the man despite the pain. It was as if....as if Naraku owned him.
"I....can't."
Inuyasha growled in fustration. "What do you mean you can't? Are you trying to tell me that you LIKE what that hentai does to you?"
"NO!"
"Then why?"
"That is none of your business, Inuyasha. I am fully capable of caring for myself."
"Not around him you can't! The Sesshoumaru I know wouldn't let anyone do that to him! He would NEVER let anyone get away with it!"
The youkai's eyes bled red. He was tired, tired of Naraku, tired of his brother's questions. "Our father got away with it," he hissed. "He got away with it for almost six years." Inuyasha was taken aback. He stared dumbstruck at his seething elder brother.
"Sess....." Sesshoumaru turned away sharply as Inu uttered his name, but not before the hanyou saw the grief and pain that flashed across his face. This was the first time in years that the youkai had even mentioned their father. Inuyasha couldn't even imagine what was going through his mind as he thought of those events.
"I...still...dream.....about it....about....him.." Sesshoumaru let out a shaky breath. His face contorted painfully, and Inu found himself wishing desperatly that he knew how to comfort the demon. Sesshoumaru had always been so distant, bitter, cold. The hanyou was almost glad to hear this, to know that there was a part of the youkai that was still....thaw.
"You couldn't do anything about it, Sess," Inuyasha whispered. "You were just a kid then. We both were. No one could have done anything about that."
"You're wrong." Sesshoumaru glared at his brother, a mixture of grief and anger written across his normally impassive face. "She could have done something. You know she wasn't that weak."
"God damn you! Leave my mother out of this. She's dead! He killed her remember!" It was Sesshoumaru's turn to be taken aback. Inuyasha lunged forward, pinning him back against the counter. "Don't you remember? How he bashed her against the wall until her neck just cracked? You're not the only one who suffered because of him you know."
"I'm...sorry." Sesshoumaru's arms dropped limply to his sides. He stared at the floor, avoiding Inuyasha's gaze. The hanyou relaxed. His brother didn't mean any of it. It was just his fustration getting the better of him. In truth, Inuyasha hadn't seen his brother so upset in years.
"Its fine. Just promise me you'll stay away from Naraku."
"Inuyasha, for the last time I...."
A deafening crash shook the floor. Both man dashed into the living room just in time to see the front door burst open. Wood and plaster flew everywhere as Shiori let out a scream. Running across the room, Inuyasha grabbed the girls, managing to get them out of the way just as three demons smashed into the apartment. Sesshoumaru's venom was imediatly at work. Leaping the last several feet, he attacked the first of the youkai, leaving him with four sizzling claw marks across his chest and face. Screeching in agony it pulled back, allowing the other two to come forward. There was another flash of green light as these two were laid flat like the others. Sesshoumaru snarled viciously. It had been too long since he'd had a fight like this. Too long since he'd had the taste of blood. Grabbing the first demon by the back of the neck he lunged at it's throat with his fangs. There was a satisfying rip as the creature's jugular was severed.
Inuyasha flexed his claws menacingly as he joined the fray. He lashed out, blood red light glinting off his own talons as he tore a large gash in one of the demon's shoulders. As the hanyou advanced upon the hapless demon, the third creature struck him from behind, burying its knife-like claws into his exposed back. Howling out in pain, Inuyasha fell to the floor.
In his state of bloodlust, Sesshoumaru barely hear his brother cry. Wrenching his teeth from the demon's neck, the dog youkai lurched forward, poisonous claws hissing.
"INUYASHA!" Uttering the hanyou's name like a battle cry he lept upon the assaulting demon's knotted back. With a quick slash of his poison whip, the monster fell, a deep gouge running down its spine. Inuyasha scrambled to his feet just in time to dodge its falling carcass. The brothers turned to the final demon, eyes raging, breath coming in ragged gasps. The beast turned, desperate to get away, but it was too late. Inuyasha charged, claws outstretched.
"Iron Reave Soul Stealer!" With a sickening splat, the demon fell, his remains plastered all over the wall. Just as Inuyasha had started to relax, he sensed something behind him. Whirling around, the hanyou let out a yelp of dismay. In the middle of the room stood Naraku. Eight large spiderlegs burst from his back as the kumo took on his youkai form. Sesshoumaru lay at his feet, blood streaming from a deep gash in his side.
"Well I must admit, I have underestimated both of you. You've made quick work of my mercenaries, however you belong to me Sesshoumaru. I intend to claim you now." Naraku smiled down at his shivering plaything. Sesshoumaru let out a snarl, but it quickly turned into a yelp of pain as one of the kumo's tentacles struck him in the chest.
"Shut up, Slut!" Naraku raged. "You're mine, remember? My property, and I'll toy with you whenever I want."
"The fuck you will!" Inuyasha limped forward, gritting his teeth against the pain as he confronted Naraku. "You don't OWN anyone. Get out of here you fucking....AHHHH!" With a derisive snort the kumo lashed out with another of his spindly apendages, sending the hanyou flying across the floor. With a deafining crunch, Inuyasha hit the wall.
"Inuyasha!" Sesshoumaru dragged himself to his feet and ran to his brother's side. "Inuyasha, are you..."
"Damn you whore! Why is it that you call out the mutt's name like that." Naraku advanced upon the youkai. 'Before the end I will have you screaming my name as well,' he thought with a vicious joy. Using four of his extra limbs, he lashed out, catching the wounded demon off guard. With a cry of dismay, Sesshoumaru felt himself being lifted into the air. Naraku brought him down again with a crash. Blackness began to seep into the youkai's mind as his head cracked against the ground. As Sesshoumaru blacked out he was of only two things, Naraku had captured him, and there was absolutely nothing he could do to defy him.

I hope this was a good chapter. I'm new at writing fight scenes. You may have noticed that in this story I made Naraku a full youkai. I know that through most of the series at least, he's a hanyou, but I think this fits in better.

Slowly, Sesshoumaru opened his eyes to the river of sunlight that spilled over his face. The past night's
events seemed far away. For a moment, the youkai lay frozen in time, letting the sun's flame-tipped rays caress his creamy flesh. It was only when he tried to speak that all that had happened came flooding back to him.
"H..huuh..feh..," Sesshoumaru mumbled in annoyance, attempting to form words with his abused throat
and lips. "Heh...In..u...argg.." Growling angrily, he gave up talking and pulled himself wearily out of bed. Surprisingly enough, besides his burning throat and lungs, his body felt almost normal. 'Thank you once again, demon blood,' Sess thought as he started peeling off the remainder of his clothes, eagerly anticipating the warmth of a scalding hot shower.
As he washed, the youkai wondered why he'd been brought to Inuyasha's house instead of his own. After all Sess's house was a whole three blocks closer. Perhaps it was a human thing, not wanting to leave his brother even when there was no longer a threat. Either way, Sesshoumaru wasn't really up to arguing. After scrubbing for a minute, Sesshoumaru knelt down, facing the drain. After another shaky breath the youkai quickly jammed two fingers down his throat, trying his best to muffle a gag. Though he'd dispelled most of Naraku's seed the night before, he could still feel some of the liquid chewing at his esophagus and stomach. Ignoring the pain, Sesshoumaru let several drops of poison leak from his claws. The venom had its desired effect. Within seconds the demon was vomitting up what little was left inside his body. He sighed softly, noting with relief that his belly felt much better. Wrapping one of Inuyasha's ratty, old towels around his waist, Sess wondered briefly whether or not it would kill his brother to do some laundry once in while before stepping back into the main room.
The hanyou was sitting cross-legged on the bed when Sesshoumaru returned. His ears flattened back
menacingly as he glared at his older brother.
"What the HELL do you think you're DOING?" Inuyasha raged. "Do you have ANY IDEA how badly your throat could have been injured? Do you REALLY think that making yourself puke MORE is gonna help?" Sesshoumaru bit back one of his uncharacteristic grins. The hanyou sounded more maternal than his own mother, not that the youkai's mom had ever really been the maternal type in the first place.

Leaping the last several feet, he attacked the first of the youkai, leaving him with four sizzling claw marks across his chest and face. Screeching in agony it pulled back, allowing the other two to come forward. There was another flash of green light as these two were laid flat like the others. Sesshoumaru snarled viciously. It had been too long since he'd had a fight like this. Too long since he'd had the taste of blood. Grabbing the first demon by the back of the neck he lunged at it's throat with his fangs. There was a satisfying rip as the creature's jugular was severed.
Inuyasha flexed his claws menacingly as he joined the fray. He lashed out, blood red light glinting off his own talons as he tore a large gash in one of the demon's shoulders. As the hanyou advanced upon the hapless demon, the third creature struck him from behind, burying its knife-like claws into his exposed back. Howling out in pain, Inuyasha fell to the floor.
In his state of bloodlust, Sesshoumaru barely hear his brother cry. Wrenching his teeth from the demon's neck, the dog youkai lurched forward, poisonous claws hissing.
"INUYASHA!" Uttering the hanyou's name like a battle cry he lept upon the assaulting demon's knotted back. With a quick slash of his poison whip, the monster fell, a deep gouge running down its spine. Inuyasha scrambled to his feet just in time to dodge its falling carcass. The brothers turned to the final demon, eyes raging, breath coming in ragged gasps. The beast turned, desperate to get away, but it was too late. Inuyasha charged, claws outstretched.
"Iron Reave Soul Stealer!" With a sickening splat, the demon fell, his remains plastered all over the wall. Just as Inuyasha had started to relax, he sensed something behind him. Whirling around, the hanyou let out a yelp of dismay. In the middle of the room stood Naraku. Eight large spiderlegs burst from his back as the kumo took on his youkai form. Sesshoumaru lay at his feet, blood streaming from a deep gash in his side.
"Well I must admit, I have underestimated both of you. You've made quick work of my mercenaries, however you belong to me Sesshoumaru. I intend to claim you now." Naraku smiled down at his shivering plaything. Sesshoumaru let out a snarl, but it quickly turned into a yelp of pain as one of the kumo's tentacles struck him in the chest.
"Shut up, Slut!" Naraku raged. "You're mine, remember? My property, and I'll toy with you whenever I want."
"The fuck you will!" Inuyasha limped forward, gritting his teeth against the pain as he confronted Naraku. "You don't OWN anyone. Get out of here you fucking....AHHHH!" With a derisive snort the kumo lashed out with another of his spindly apendages, sending the hanyou flying across the floor. With a deafining crunch, Inuyasha hit the wall.
"Inuyasha!" Sesshoumaru dragged himself to his feet and ran to his brother's side. "Inuyasha, are you..."
"Damn you whore! Why is it that you call out the mutt's name like that." Naraku advanced upon the youkai. 'Before the end I will have you screaming my name as well,' he thought with a vicious joy. Using four of his extra limbs, he lashed out, catching the wounded demon off guard. With a cry of dismay, Sesshoumaru felt himself being lifted into the air. Naraku brought him down again with a crash. Blackness began to seep into the youkai's mind as his head cracked against the ground. As Sesshoumaru blacked out he was of only two things, Naraku had captured him, and there was absolutely nothing he could do to defy him.

I hope this was a good chapter. I'm new at writing fight scenes. You may have noticed that in this story I made Naraku a full youkai. I know that through most of the series at least, he's a hanyou, but I think this fits in better.
