AfterShock

After his conversation with Sakura, Sephiroth walked out to the main part of the club only to find out that Sesshomaru had left. Sephiroth sat at the counter while Inuyasha complained about his brother leaving him to do all the work for the second night in a row. It seemed their little sister and Sesshomaru's mother were not getting along very well and the 'minion', as Inuyasha affectionately called her, demanded her brothers presence.

"She seems like a spoiled princess." Sephiroth said with a chuckle.

"Very much so, but Sesshomaru's the one who spoils her rotten." Inuyasha said sarcastically.

As Sephiroth watched Inuyasha work he couldn't help the light smile that pulled at the corners of his lips. A person didn't need to be a genius to see that Sesshomaru not only spoiled his little sister, he also spoiled his little brother too. Inuyasha was just too close to the situation to see it.

"Well try not to let it ruin your evening, I'm sure he will be back soon enough." Sephiroth said while picking up the drink Inuyasha made for him.

"Whatever." Inuyasha growled as he moved down the bar to take an order from another patron.

Turning from the bar, Sephiroth looked around at the crowd of people as they danced, drank, and let loose. The band was wrapping up another song and announced they would be taking a short break as a DJ started up a vibrant song to keep the crowd on the dance floor. Sephiroth was never fond of the type of music the club played, however, the band the club had hired sounded better than the ones he heard playing at Zaraki's clubs. It would seem that Zaraki truly had something to fear in the demon brother's club.

"Hey sexy bartender." The red haired singer shouted in a sing song voice as he approached the bar. Sephiroth looked the man over and raised an eyebrow at his exuberant behavior and clothing. Hearing Inuyasha growl to himself, Sephiroth turned to the hanyo as Inuyasha glared at the singer. Sephiroth wondered what it was about the singer that seemed to irritate Inuyasha, not that he wasn't already irritated because of his brother.

"What do you want Grell?" Inuyasha barked.

"I want a blow job." The man said with a toothy smile. And there it was. The way the man rolled the words off his tongue let Sephiroth know it wasn't the shot of alcohol Grell was asking for. Apparently the man did not have any sense at all.

"Go away." Inuyasha snapped, than walked away.

"And another failed attempt." Grell sighed while raising his hands in defeat. "Too bad." Than the man turned his green eyes on Sephiroth. "Well hello there."

"Don't even try." Sephiroth said point blank before the weird singer got started trying to woo him.

"Aw come on. Is everyone here uninterested in a delectable red head." Grell whined, the noise grating on Sephiroth's ears and if the red head did not stop his nasally whining Sephiroth was going to have to hurt him.

"It's not that they are uninterested, it is because they are all already in relationships with other people." Miroku said as he walked up to the counter, saving Grell from an imminent death at Sephiroth's hands. "Do you want something to drink? If not, move on."

"Fine, fine." Grell said waiving his hands in a dismissive manner. "I'll have a rum and coke."

"Hey Miroku!" Someone shouted as he jumped on the stool next to Sephiroth, nearly knocking him over, "Please tell me the kitchen has some food ready, I'm so freaking hungry I could eat a horse."

Miroku laughed as he sat a plate before the hyper brunette. "Here you go Goku. The cook has more on the way."

"You're the best!" Goku shouted as he pushed his sleeves up preparing to dig in to the plate of fries. Sephiroth began to scoot away, the look in the young mans eyes did not bode well for those surrounding the brunette. Goku looked like a many who would make a gigantic mess as he shoveled food into his mouth. Maybe it was time to abandon his thought of seeing the demon lord and get out of here.

"Well hello there gorgeous." A man said as he grabbed the young demon by the collar of his shirt and tossed him off the stool. Sephiroth watched the new comer give him a once over that was more than sexually suggestive, it bordered on obscene. "So, what is your name?"

Dear lord in heaven, were all these people completely stupid? Here he was, one of the most lethal beings in the world and he was being assaulted by all of the ill mannered and stupid individuals who frequented the Aftershock. And the coup de gras, the man reached down to the plate of food, stole a fry and popped it in his mouth.

"Hey bastard." Everyone turned to look at the little brunette demon as he radiated a killing aura that even shocked Sephiroth, "That is my spot and my food."

"So what little boy, it's not like you can take them back." Such final words had been uttered by many people over the centuries moments before they discovered they were no where near as powerful as they viewed themselves. This man was no different as he laughed at Goku. Sephiroth quickly sidestepped as the little spit fire launched into motion with a battle cry that rivaled a dragons roar. Fighting back a chuckle, Sephiroth watched as Goku turned the man into a pile of wailing human flesh on the floor.

Goku sat in his chair as some of the other workers in the club dragged the unfortunate individual away. Before Sephiroth could reclaim his seat, the singer, Grell, took it from him. "So little Goku, can I..."

"Save it, 'm not interested." Goku said as he dug into his plate. Grell hung his head as the little demon polished off his plate moments before another was placed in front of him.

Sephiroth was about to abandon the club for the more sane environment of his home when the front doors of the club opened to reveal his current assignment and obsession. The tall demon lord looked around the club with narrow eyes then began walking towards the bar as the crowd of people separated to allow his progression into the club, much like the waters of the red sea parted for Moses.

Sesshomaru was tired, his little sister was exceptionally stubborn today. This was the first time in months he had to make so many visits to his parents home to calm the little urchin down. Mai was very upset with their mother because she had torn her favorite book up in a fit of rage. When he arrived at the house, Mai was inconsolable and their mother, though acting like the bitch everyone claimed she was, looked like she was about to burst into tears. She may not be the best of mothers but she did have a heart and cared deeply for her children. So, his mother had demanded Sesshomaru look for a new book to replace the one she destroyed, but it had to remain between the two of them. It took him three hours to find a new copy of that damned book and bring it to the house, where his sister proclaimed him her hero. Smiling Sesshomaru knew one day, when she was much older, he would tell her it was their mother whom had demanded he find another and how sad she was for her horrible behavior.

As he walked into the club he saw Sephiroth leaning against the bar, his light blue/green eyes on him. Walking towards the man whom had struck up a desire he thought long extinguished, Sesshomaru tried to look like he was not affected by those long legs, his lean tall body, or the spark of lust radiating from Sephiroth's eyes. Stopping before the man, Sesshomaru said, "Good evening Sephiroth."

"It might be." Sephiroth answered as he took a sip from his drink.

Sesshomaru was about to answer when his brother came up to him. "Hey bro, I'm taking a break. Think you can keep an eye on things for me for a while?"

He didn't get a chance to answer as Inuyasha ran off with Miroku to the back of the club. "Ungrateful little whelp."

Sephiroth smiled at his statement, "You know he seems to be a little jealous over your sister. Keep that in mind when he acts up after you go visit her." Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at the statement then looked off to where his brother had disappeared. "I could also be wrong and he just wanted to run off with his boyfriend to have a little privacy."

Sesshomaru's gaze jerked back to Sephiroth as the mans laughing eyes stared at him over the rim of his glass while he took another sip of his drink. "I hope he does not believe he can break the club rules for the employees."

"You mean like his older brother did last night." Sephiroth shot back with a wolfish smile. Sesshomaru felt his cheeks heat a little and turned from the silver-haired man.

He was about to make a hasty retreat when he was accosted by an angry looking red head. "So you the man that said the waitresses were not allowed to mess with the band?"

"Yes." Sesshomaru answered a little confused by Gojyo's question.

"That ain't right, what if we wanted them hitting on us. Ya really think a bunch of girls are gonna scare us off." The man ranted as he flailed his arms around, "Change the order."

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed as he looked the man over, "Do you really think you can tell me what to do?"

"Ya I do." The red head said tilting his head in a cocky manner, "So ya gonna let them have at us?"

Sesshomaru was about to tell the man to piss off in the most eloquent way he could come up with when he saw those red eyes drift off to the right. Turning to see what had drawn the mans gaze, Sesshomaru saw Carmen wiping down a table some customers had vacated. Turning back to the man with a evil grin, he said, "Very well. I will tell them to 'have at it'. Just remember when your time comes that it was you who asked for it."

The mans red eyes shot to his in confusion as he nodded his acceptance. Sesshomaru walked up to Carmen, told her his new order regarding the band and asked her to tell all the employees for him. Turning to the red head he nodded then walked towards his office. As he got to the hallway he felt someone grab his arm. Thinking it was the red head again he turned to give the insulate man a dressing down, Sesshomaru was stopped when he realized it was Sephiroth. "Am I wrong or did Inuyasha ask you to stay out here to keep an eye on the club?"

Sesshomaru ground his teeth together as he looked out over the club. Changing direction he walked up the stairs to the balcony overlooking the dance floor. "So why did it look like you were releasing the wolves upon the red head? He looks like a man who could handle his own."

Sesshomaru looked down at where the red head was attempting to hit on Carmen and smiled, "He has no idea what he is getting into. She may very well break him if he can convince her to join him."

Sephiroth looked down at the busty female as she blushed at something the red head said, "Looks like he might be on the right track."

"His funeral." Sesshomaru said as he looked out over the crowd. "May I ask why you are here?"

"That should be obvious." Sephiroth said as he downed another drink. Sesshomaru looked over at the man as he gave a waitress his empty glass and asked for another drink. Looking Sephiroth over, he wondered how long the silver haired beauty had been here waiting for him. Looking at his watch which declared the time of ten minutes past midnight, Sesshomaru realized he had been out of the bar for nearly five hours. Five hours that Sephiroth may have been waiting for him while drinking. Looking back at the silver haired man, Sesshomaru could see the tell tail signs of intoxication. Sephiroth's cheeks were flushed and his eyes looked slightly glassy, but the man was steady on his feet so he wasn't too far gone yet. Turning to look out over the crowd he suddenly didn't want to be here anymore, he wanted to be at his home with Sephiroth under him flushed for another reason.

"So. What do you have planned for tomorrow?" Sephiroth asked after the waitress gave him his new drink. He could see Sesshomaru give him a hungry gaze from the corner of his eyes. He knew it was probably the alcohol coursing through his system but he couldn't think of any reason why he shouldn't give into his desires. Swallowing his drink in one go, Sephiroth looked at the demon lord, "Tomorrow is my day off and I don't have anything planned."

He watched a shiver shake Sesshomaru's body while his amber eyes darkened slightly, "Would you please wait here a moment while I find my brother to let him know I am leaving for the night."

"Sure." Sephiroth answered with a smirk.

Sesshomaru calmly walked down the staircase even though his body was screaming at him to jump the banister and run. Walking down the hall, he opened the door to the empty employee lounge. Closing the door he frowned and continued on his quest. Five minutes later his anger was starting to get the better of him. Storming past the storage room, Sesshomaru heard muffled voices one of which sounded like his brother's. Jerking the door open he said, "Inuyasha, I'm ......"

Sesshomaru's voice locked up mid sentence at the sight presented to him. Inuyasha was bend over with his hands wrapped around the supports for the shelving unit, his pants pooled around his ankles and Miroku thrusting deep into is brothers ass. Miroku's hazy brown eyes meet his a moment before he realized whom was standing in the doorway, then with a gasp Miroku dove for cover as Inuyasha looked up and screamed, "Damn it Sesshomaru! Get out!"

Stepping back, Sesshomaru slammed the door shut, wishing he could gouge out his eyes to end the horrific scene he had just witnessed. As he began to turn away, Sesshomaru realized something that brought him up short. Inuyasha had always bragged about being the top in the relationship, Sesshomaru had even witnessed the many time Miroku had hobbled around the bar after a particularly rough night with his brother. So what in the hell was Inuyasha doing bottoming?

The door to the storage room was jerked open and a very disheveled Inuyasha stood in the entrance fury burning from his eyes. "What did you want?"

"I have been looking for you to tell you I was leaving early." Sesshomaru said in a calm voice even though his inner demon was screeching to rub the image of his brother and Miroku from his mind.

"Really. And that couldn't wait?" Inuyasha growled.

The earlier flame of anger Sesshomaru had felt towards his brother for hiding from him was rekindled, "And just how the hell was I supposed to know what you two were doing?"

"It's called ears you moron!" Inuyasha yelled a dark blush creeping across his face and down his neck.

"Yes. Well, I wasn't exactly in the listening mood because I had been searching for you for a while." Sesshomaru growled.

"Oh." Inuyasha said finally realizing how pissed his brother might have been before he found them. Taking a deep breath, Inuyasha looked up and down the hallway to make sure no one saw the scene they were making. Then looking up at his brother he said, "I'm sorry."

Sesshomaru closed his eyes and shook his head, "I should not have yelled."

Inuyasha felt a smile cross his face as he watched his brother calm himself. It must have been quite the shock to his brother's system to see what he had. Inuyasha had expected a raging demon beast when he opened the storage room door, but instead his brother was standing there in a complete daze. "It's okay."

His brothers eyes opened up and moved from him to a spot just behind him. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder to see Miroku peaking out the door like he expected to be slain any moment. Turning back to his brother he said, "We'll be out in a moment."

"Very well." Sesshomaru said then turned away. He got two steps then stopped like he was going to say something, shook his head and continued on down the hall.

"Phew." Miroku said as he stepped from the storage room. "Thought I was about to meet my maker tonight."

Inuyasha chuckled as he turned to Miroku, "No, he was just a bit surprised."

Miroku's dark eyes turned from Sesshomaru's retreating back to him, "I guess it's not everyday you walk in on your brother like that."

"That's not it." Inuyasha said.

Sesshomaru was still deep in thought when he left the hall and entered the main part of the club. As he walked out he saw Mugen dragging a man by his foot out of the club as Sakura shoved a woman out the doors. Frowning he walked up to Sakura when she turned back towards her forgotten tray. "Is everything alright?"

"Ya just fine. Some domestic issues." She said looking over her shoulder, "Guess the bastard was cheating on his girlfriend and got himself caught."

Nodding Sesshomaru turned as Mugen walked into the club, the bushy haired brunette made eye contact with him, looked towards Jin, then growled and walked in the other direction. Sesshomaru turned away with a slight smirk on his face, poor Mugen, he thought to himself as he walked towards the stairs to the balcony where he left Sephiroth.

"So, find your brother?" Sephiroth asked as he leaned on the railing.

"Yes." Sesshomaru snapped causing the silver haired man to raise an eyebrow in surprise.

Then Sephiroth's eyes narrowed as a smirk covered his face, "Guess they were breaking the rules."

Sesshomaru just looked away not wanting to relive the horrific sight he had been subjected to. Sighing in relief he saw his brother come through the door and take his place at the bar. With a wave and a smile at him, Inuyasha began taking orders and mixing drinks again. Turning to Sephiroth, Sesshomaru asked, "Are you ready to go?"

Sephiroth nodded and turned towards the stairs. As they got closer to the front doors they saw Goku and Mugen tear out of the club like the fires of hell were licking their heels. Following them from the club, Sesshomaru saw a large crowd gathered around a pick up truck. The female Sakura had pushed from the club was standing on the very top of the truck with a baseball bat in her hand. With a look at Sephiroth, Sesshomaru began pushing his way through the crowd to help deal with what was clearly the continuation of a lovers quarrel. As he made it through the last line of people, Sesshomaru fought back a smile at what was revealed. There was a man with his hands in his hair staring with distraught eyes at what was left of the front end of the previously beautiful pick up truck.

"YOU LEFT HER?!" The woman shrieked as she slammed the bat into the windshield. "YOU AND HER WERE NO MORE?!" Again the bat hit the innocent window. "I WAS YOUR ONE AND FUCKING ONLY?! YOUR SOUL MATE?!" With each shrieked question the bat hit the splintering window. "YOU FUCKING LYING BASTARD!" She yelled as she smashed out the other windows.

With an enraged roar the man tore after the woman making it as far as the hood when Goku grabbed him, yanking the cursing struggling man off the vehicle. Mugen was already climbing into the bed of the truck to try subduing the woman while she swung the bat around. Mugen caught the bat as the woman screamed profanities at the bouncer then jumped down onto the hood of the truck caving it in under her slight weight.

It was then that Sesshomaru became aware of the woman nearby laughing hysterically. In between gasping breaths she said, "Serves you right you cheating bastard. Smash the mirrors next!"

"You bitch!" The man yelled, "It's all your fault." He sunk his knee into Goku's groin, dropping the demon bouncer, then charged the laughing woman. Before anyone could intervene the man slammed into the woman, taking her to the pavement under his weight. Sesshomaru grabbed the man by the collar of his shirt and pulled him from the woman. He was about to tear the human apart when he noticed the woman was not moving. Sephiroth dropped to her side as Goku tied up the man and called the police. The next few moments were a blur as the ambulance arrived and loaded the woman, who turned out to be the mans wife, into the back. The police where struggling to get both the husband and the other woman into the backseats of their squad cars as the couple screamed at each other.

Sesshomaru sighed as he watched a blonde haired officer approach the spot where he stood with Sephiroth. "Looks like I'll be awhile. I'm going to have to ask for a rain-check on our date."

Sephiroth looked up at the demon lord. He looked weary, like he was dreading the next half hour or so of interrogations by the officers. Looking back to the blonde, Sephiroth noticed the appreciative once over the man tried to hide as he looked at Sesshomaru. For some unknown reason that made him feel extremely territorial, and pushing back his better judgment, Sephiroth decided to stake his claim. Reaching up he grabbed Sesshomaru by the back of the neck and yanked him into a hard kiss. It was quick, brutal, and electric all at once. When Sephiroth pulled back he smiled and said, "I will be waiting for you on your doorstep." Then walked away.

Sesshomaru felt all the blood drain from his body to fill his member in a painful hurry. Watching as Sephiroth walked away, Sesshomaru forgot where he was until a light cough to his right pulled him together. Turning to see laughing eyes, he narrowed his own at the smirking cop.

"Didn't think I was too obvious but apparently I failed. He yours?"

"After a fashion." Sesshomaru answered.

"Too bad. Was going to try to give you my number but my loss." The officer said with a dismissive wave. "On to business."
