Cleaned up and no longer smelling of Naraku, Haruki did return to Sesshoumaru.

The sun was just coming up as he took Kanou to get a drink from the river.

He watched the demon lord, hating to think about the look of disgust that Sesshoumaru would wear if he ever saw what he truly was.

“What ails you?”

“Nothing. Why do you ask?” he spoke, startled out of his thoughts.

“Your expression.. It has changed,” the demon lord informed.

“I am fine,” he answered. He wondered how someone who had no variety to his own expressions could recognize a subtle change in another.

“That other demon that was after you. Who was he?” Haruki spoke, changing the subject.

“A demon by the name of Ryuu. He is too weak to pose a threat on his own,” Sesshoumaru answered. “I'm sure he will make an appearance soon however. We should be going.”

Sesshoumaru took to the sky with Ah-Un.

Haruki fallowed after Sesshoumaru at a steady walk on Kanou. His mount began to become uneasy, the beast trotting short and high as he flared his nostrils. The younger demon looked up, searching for the demon lord. A few short moments later Haruki was flinging himself from Kanou as several demons shot at him. Demons that smelled an awful lot like Naraku. They were big, built like boulders, only they didn't move with the slow speed that usually came with one of such statue.

He came at the closest one, swinging wildly as he tried to piece together what was going on. He then felt a jolting pain at his side. A slighter demon had jammed a sliver of bone in between his ribs. He turned to that one, kicking off the larger demon. What the hell was Naraku doing? The smaller demon was fast, and kept evading his strikes, so he pushed harder, eventually slamming the slighter creature into a tree, the hilt of his sword drawn up to crush the demon's windpipe. A shrill strangled sound escaped the creature before Haruki was pulled away by a crushing force to his shoulder. The pain caused him to drop his own sword, and before he could retrieve it, he looked up to see Naraku standing five feet away.

“We have to make it seem real, my pet” he whispered, and Haruki was then slammed into the ground as the demon threw a heavy fist into his back.

Haruki turned to rake his nails down the offenders face before pushing off and coming at Naraku with a ferocity that did look real.

Sesshoumaru beat him to the vile demon however. They were gone in a mess of fallen trees and overturned earth, leaving Haruki to deal with what was left of their attackers. He reclaimed his sword, ignoring his shoulder's protest.
He made quick work of the demons, sustaining only a few more injuries before going on after Sesshoumaru, crossing his fingers that the demon succeeded in what he said he was going to do. He would aid in whichever way he could. He didn't need Naraku's permission to play that part.

But then there was one more interference. That demon from before. Ryuu. He was standing before him, in much better condition before, his hair actually a deep red. The color of clotting blood.

“Move out of my way! I do not have time for you!” Haruki snarled, though he had to admit he was winded. He couldn't ignore the blood that was trailing down his side either.

“Worried your demon lord is going to be wounded? Do not worry. I am not interested in him. You are the one I am actually curious about this evening,” the demon announced as he came closer.

Haruki pointed his sword at Ryuu, while the man appeared to be.. appraising him.

The red demon drew his sword, and came at Haruki. The little demon fought hard, but came to the conclusion that Ryuu was just tiring him out. Was he stalling to allow Naraku time for whatever he had planned? He found himself pinned under the larger man, finding it all the more difficult to breath.

“I do not like being toyed with,” Haruki snarled.

“Ahh, well. I do enjoy toying with you, and it seems I have the upper hand.”

The leaves stirred slightly.

“Remove yourself from my companion,” spoke a familiar voice.

Ryuu looked to the side Sesshoumaru was coming from, and this allowed Haruki the opportunity to jerk his sword free and jab the hilt into the demon's side. Ryuu shifted over a bit and the dark haired demon kicked him the rest of the way.

The breather on the ground was enough to give the younger demon a second wind and he came at Ryuu, only for him to turn his back and start off in the other direction.

“Leave him,” Sesshoumaru instructed. “He is not worth the effort and you are wounded.”

Haruki looked back at the demon lord, a bit surprised.

“Naraku is the only one worth expelling the energy on at the moment. If he becomes more of an irritation, I'll deal with it then.”

“He does not have ties with Naraku?” Haruki asked, taking a seat on the ground as he began removing layers of clothing.

“No. He is moving of his own personal interest,” Sesshoumaru stated as he knelt down to open Haruki's hakama. The wound was deep, but the bleeding had finally stopped.

“Come. We will clean and rest for the evening,” the silver haired demon directed.

They made it to the hot springs, and Sesshoumaru wasn't shy about removing his clothing and entering the warm water. Haruki following in a bit more hesitantly, but settled in as the water began soothing his achy muscles. He peered over at the stunning body waste deep, silver hair spilling down a strong back.

And wondered what it would feel like for the icy lord to close the space between them.

Startled by his own thoughts, Haruki washed quickly and got out, leaving the unmoved Sesshoumaru to the warm waters by himself.

The next evening they still remained where they were, resting near the spring. Food was plentiful, and the area was relaxing.

“Naraku will not show his face for a while. He won't risk anymore injury.”

It was during those times when Haruki was most happy. The calm after the storm. Sesshoumaru never said too much, but it was obvious that the demon lord had gotten used to Haruki being around, just as much as Haruki had gotten used to being around the demon lord. It was a night like that when he had chose to ignore Naraku's call to him.

Uneasy, he came to sit beside the demon lord, who was resting underneath a cherry blossom tree. Amber eyes looked to the young demon, and he said nothing. Not that he had to. If Sesshoumaru didn't want him that close, he would have made that known.

That next day Haruki traveled ahead of the demon lord, astride Kanou. He felt uneasy being so still, unsure of what to do. He should run. From Naraku, and Sesshoumaru. Because once the irate Naraku dropped them a visit, he was sure that once Sesshoumaru found out who he was bound to, he would be dead either way.

His thoughts tumbled to a halt as his mount toppled over, and Haruki realized there was an arrow not only buried in his mount's shoulder, but in his own side as well. He had been thrown into the ground, a few feet from Kanou. He struggled over, reaching to grab the arrow. The horse shrieked, and Haruki jerked back, his hand burning. Avoiding powerful kicks, Haruki yanked the arrow out of Kanou's side quickly, fallowed by his own.

He stood up to see the owner of the arrows, snarling at the strange human girl before he came at her. He was tackled to the side by another demon who had the same color hair as his demon lord.

“You don't feel so powerful now do you? Not when you're not slaughtering some poor village?” he heard the female say.

He struggled away from the demon, clawing and biting as he tried to make sense of what had just happened.

Suddenly the strange demon was lifted from him, and thrown several feet away. Sesshoumaru came at him again, a snarl marring his usual serene expression.

“Little brother, I do not think it wise of you to attack those whom I travel with,” he spoke with a possessiveness to it that Haruki hadn't realized the demon possessed.

And then the stupid female spoke again.

“We will be taking his jewel shards,” she said a she approached the downed horse. Haruki had her by the throat just as she neared the beast. Then, apparently Sesshoumaru's brother, was coming at him. Which resulted in Sesshoumaru taking hold of him again.

“Inuyasha,” Sesshoumaru warned.

“Let her go!” another woman spoke as she came running up to them, a large cat demon snarling behind her.

Inuyasha was thrown into the male human that came to join the party.

Haruku shoved the female back, drawing his sword as he narrowed his eyebrows. The dark haired demon ran at his initial attacker, intent on doing harm.

Inuyasha drew his sword as well, and Haruki was surprised to see it transform into something much more powerful then he had first thought it to be. He struggled to hold it back as their swords clashed.

“Haruki. Inuyasha. Enough!” Sesshoumaru demanded. The two stopped, if however brief. Inuyasha took another step forward, and Sesshoumaru's eyes blazed. He jumped forward, pinning his younger brother to the ground.

“Kagome, perhaps this demon did not attack that village,” the human male spoke.

“Miroku, he matches the description perfectly.”

“Smells like him too,” Inuyasha added as he struggled to overthrow Sesshoumaru. “Will you get off!”

Sesshoumaru said nothing, taking in everything.

“He did not attack a village. I have nothing to gain from lying to you,” the demon lord added as he got off Inuyasha, walking calmly back to where Haruki was standing. The young demon was also taking in everything.

The other female made a noise is her throat, and the one named Miroku looked at her questioningly.

“Isn't it obvious? Who tried to manipulate others to do his dirty work?”

“I think you're right Sango. Naraku was definitely behind this.”
