Chapter sixteen
Rin had moments of lucidity, brief seconds of reprieve from the emptiness that held her prisoner. These moments tortured her as she gazed unseeing into the white room containing her. Naraku had been angry when she first arrived back, the faint burning on her thighs and arms a whispering reminder that she belonged to him. The pain he inflicted on her was not physical, not after the realization that once again, she was with child.
It angered Naraku, the proof of Rin's betrayal, and yet after a moment it left him with a sickening grin. He was given a means to an end. A surprise gift and he horded the knowledge that now he had stolen a piece of his enemy away without putting forth too much effort. Even if Sesshomaru did not care for the half-breed growing in Rin's womb, the reminder that something of his now belonged to Naraku would maddening. It was another nail in Rin's coffin and she was powerless to change it.
Her wrists were bruised and cut from the manacles wrapped around them, keeping her trapped in Naraku's sitting room. The furniture was several feet from her, tempting her with things she was unable to reach. Instruments that could be used to end her pathetic existence dangled merely inches away from her grasping hands, just far enough out of reach that with the fleeting moments of lucidity she felt herself slipping farther into hopelessness that was slowly consuming her.
Naraku kept her a prisoner in her mind, unable to move her body when he touched her, his hands roaming her unprotected flesh, dipping into her and she could do nothing but mentally scream for help or the strength to fight him. She couldn't get away from him and he would not let her forget it.
Most of the time she was stuck in the darkness alone and aching as memories came and went. Times with Kagome and InuYasha, playing with their children at night before bed. They had given something back to her, something that had been lost to her for more decades than she could remember, a loving family but what hurt most was the way Sesshomaru's eyes burned with hatred for her.
Those amber orbs haunted her, his husky baritone voice tearing at her soul as the words repeated themselves in her mental cage. She wanted to die. Sesshomaru saw who Naraku had wanted him to see Rin was and his words shot through her, exiling her to the pain of what Naraku gave her. She did not deserve to live with the warmth Sesshomaru had begun to show her, the soft caress of his fingertips against her bare flesh, the press of his soft lips on her shoulder as he claimed her, and the way his body always seemed to mold around hers, like a shield from the outside world that threatened to harm her.
It was the care Sesshomaru had shown her in the short amount of time that was destroying her in a way Naraku never could. The reminder of the betrayal in his eyes held horrifying power over her, crushing her soul and leaving her broken and unable to find the pieces. Naraku's torture could only go so far before Rin would become numb, losing herself in the darkness that he supplied and then she would fade, an empty shell, a lifeless puppet for him to control. However, it was the burn from Sesshomaru's gaze that kept her from the numbness, the pain in her heart thrumming with each breath she took, keeping her tied to herself. Whispering to her that whatever punishment Naraku gave her, she deserved it.
"Hello poppet," Naraku's voice whispered seductively into her ear, his fingers brushing the moisture that never seemed to stop falling from her eyes. He always left her aware enough to feel the pain, to feel the heartache, but detached enough that she could not move herself without his help. "I have a surprise for you…"
She did not want to listen to what he had to say, though unable to block him out of her mind as he spoke. He had plans for her, plans for her baby, his hands tracing her swollen stomach almost lovingly. He was anxious, she could tell by the almost giddy ring in his words. There would be another party, he explained, one that would showcase his power to the world and prove that he was a force to be reckoned with. The demons who had shunned him, who did not acknowledge his power would finally know the err of their ways and it would be magical.
"Sesshomaru will finally be mine," his lips brushed against hers chastely, his black eyes burning holes into her, his evil grin widening in pleasure. "All thanks to you,"

**********************************************************

InuYasha had taken to pacing angrily again. It had been months now since Rin's departure and the house had fallen into chaos. Her words had burned a hole into his heart, her pleading, her screaming and then the emptiness as she faded into herself. The memory haunted him, leaving him with nightmares he could not seem to escape. He had seen the pain that flashed across Sesshomaru's eyes, seen the almost animalistic need and hatred flaring in his half-brother's aura as Koga swept Rin away, her limp body held in his arms almost carelessly.
He remembered the way Koga had been before, the sarcastic and smug looks and words, the chauvinistic arrogance that bled from him like a stench that was unable to be removed and the creature that had stood in front of InuYasha that day was not Koga. It was a shadow. Nothing seemed right, the jerkiness of his movements, the lifelessness that held his eyes and InuYasha knew that Naraku was controlling the strings that held Koga together.
He tried, in vain to get Sesshomaru to see what was staring him in the face. Tried pounding it into Sesshomaru that Rin had somehow been a victim in the twisted story and needed to be rescued. His brother said nothing, just glared icily at him before going off on his own, blending in with the shadows that had invaded their home. Somehow InuYasha had to pull Sesshomaru's head out of his ass and get him to fight.
It was obvious to everyone that Sesshomaru cared for the human girl, especially with the anger that crackled in his aura when InuYasha provoked him. He hated his older brother, not because he was an asshole, but because he allowed himself to be clouded in self-pity and anger, completely oblivious to the bigger picture.
Rin had not been out to get Sesshomaru, but a victim caught in a spider's web. She flinched from the shadows and the light, fled from it and now she was unable to escape it and the thought of what could be happening to her tore at InuYasha. She was family, especially now, carrying his brother's offspring and he could not sit by idly and do nothing.
If Sesshomaru would not wake up and fight for what was rightfully his, then InuYasha would. He would protect his family, every last one of them even if it meant his life was forfeited in the process, not because of pride, but because it was the right thing to do. People deserved what consequences came their way, but from the explanation in "Koga's" story, the only thing Rin had done wrong was live. And that in its own was not something anyone could blame her for. Sesshomaru was condemning her; however, InuYasha refused to abandon her to the evil that held her.
"You stupid bastard," InuYasha spat venomously as he glared at the demon in front of him. Sesshomaru was seated in his study, his cold amber eyes pouring over the screen in front of him, endless text appearing on the monitor.
"I am in no mood for your atrocious vocabulary," he was devoid of any emotions, hiding the anger that was struggling to break the surface. Since Rin's departure, Sesshomaru's control had been almost non-existent. "Go away,"
"Father would be turning over in his grave if he could see you now," InuYasha watched his brother's claws curl into his palm, his muscles tightening as Sesshomaru's gaze lifted to meet his own. "You are not deserving of his blood."
"Do not mock me," Sesshomaru threatened, the pen in his claws snapping and spilling black ink over pale flesh and the wooden desk.
"You abandoned her!" Claws struck InuYasha, pinning him to the wall behind him and though he struggled for breath, he refused to allow Sesshomaru to see him gasping desperately for breath. "You've condemned her to die…."
"SILENCE!" Sesshomaru roared, the tips of his claws bleeding green as the acidic poison began to burn the flesh around InuYasha's throat. "She was a puppet of Naraku's sent to destroy us. She deserves death."
"You're a fool Sesshomaru," InuYasha's feet dangled inches above the floor, black spots dancing across his vision as he grabbed Sesshomaru's wrist and tore the flesh from his flesh. "She practically begged you for mercy and you threw her to the wolves. You through your blood to the wolves and let Naraku take a piece of our family with her."
"Liar,"
"She was pregnant Sesshomaru," InuYasha hissed back, finally ripping Sesshomaru's claws from his throat, his eyes never leaving his brothers and he struggled to breathe, blood dripping down his chest and soaking into his shirt. "How could you have not known? You knew and still you did nothing to help her. Naraku may be a monster, but in my eyes you are worse…"
InuYasha did not have time to block his brother's claws a second time as they ripped into his shoulder, the gold bleeding into red as Sesshomaru released his anger on him. He fought against the unconsciousness struggling to get a hold of him, raining his own claws on Sesshomaru in hopes that somehow he would be able to knock some sense into that thick skull of Sesshomaru's. It was a long shot, especially with the full blooded demon tearing him to shreds being stronger than him in many ways, but even a flicker of hope would be enough.
Kagome would just have to heal the rest of him.
