Sephiroth lay in Sesshomaru's bed watching his demon sleep. After Kadaj's call, Sesshomaru had quickly fallen back to sleep leaving Sephiroth to stare at his perfect form laying at his side. His heart hurt over what he had put Sesshomaru through over the last week.
Sephiroth thanked all the Gods in the world for bringing Byakuya into Sesshomaru's life. Had it not been for that man, Sephiroth would still be in his maddened state and Sesshomaru would have wasted away. Sephiroth could still feel the consuming fear he felt over Byakuya's harsh words and his demand. The knife, though long gone, was still a heavy weight in his hands. How had that man known what to say to break through Itachi's hold?
A hand brushed his hair behind his ear, startling him from his memories. Raising his eyes to Sesshomaru's, Sephiroth felt a tightness in his chest. How could he ever make up for the pain he caused?
"It wasn't your fault." Sesshomaru gently cupped his face as his thumb drew circles on his cheek.
"Even if it was a background feeling, I knew something was wrong with me." Sephiroth whispered, "Why did it take someone else to wake me from my stupidity?"
Sesshomaru gently pulled Sephiroth onto his chest and encircled his body, "Because Itachi was good at what he did. He knew what our actions would be, anticipated our emotions, but he never counted on Byakuya's ability to out-think him."
Sephiroth chuckled lightly as tears burned at the back of his eyes, "I can never repay him for what he did."
Sesshomaru's broad smile warmed his heart.
"He would never expect payment. Though allowing him to court Yazoo would make Byakuya really happy."
Sephiroth snorted at the statement. He had seen the way those two were interacting before the kidnapping. He had even seen the fire in Yazoo's eyes when he had forbidden him from seeing the Kuchiki heir. "I suppose I could agree to that. Not like I'd have much of a choice."
Sesshomaru's deep laugh rumbled through his body, "Not at all. Yazoo seems to have become quite stubborn."
Yazoo lay in the hot water outside the house content as Byakuya's fingers gently slide across his scalp. After the text from Kadaj he felt like every cell in his body became heavy. Byakuya said it was his stress finally releasing. Maybe he was right. This last week had been a complete disaster emotionally for everyone. Though Kadaj had felt the weight more so than the rest of them.
"You tensed up again." Byakuya slid his hand from Yazoo's hair to wrap around his chest.
Turning his head Yazoo looked back to Byakuya as the man placed a gentle kiss on his forehead, "I was thinking about Kadaj. He went through so much to keep us from losing hope that Sephiroth would get better, and we let him down." Yazoo sighed heavily as he closed his eyes and lay his cheek on Byakuya's chest, "I was so selfish. Only thinking about what I wanted and how Sephiroth was just being a bastard."
Strong hands gently stroked his hair, "He held up pretty well considering the circumstances. You should think of a way to make it up to him when you get back to the city."
Yazoo smiled gently, "I wonder what I could do for him? He isn't the kind to want material things, not after what we went through."
"I'm sure you'll think of something," Byakuya whispered.
"Yazoo!"
Yazoo jumped violently at his name being shouted at such a peacefully intimate moment. Heart racing he looked around until he saw Loz standing on the balcony above him. Blushing brightly he tried to sink into the water and pull away from Byakuya, but strong arms wrapped around him.
"Yazoo, did you know Kadaj is missing?"
Byakuya let out a light chuckle. "We are aware. He went to check on Sephiroth."
"What? Why?" Loz called back with a confused look.
Yazoo let out an irritated sigh, "Because he is an idiot. Go back to bed. Sephiroth is fine, Kadaj is fine."
Loz let out a snort as he leaned on the railing. "Define fine."
"Sephiroth is with Sesshomaru and Kadaj is ecstatic. He said he was going to stay in the city to enjoy some alone time." Yazoo shouted at his idiot brother.
"With Sesshomaru! That's great." Loz turned towards the room, "Ya hear that. My brother's back to normal."
Then Loz disappeared into the room. Yazoo closed his eyes with a sigh as Byakuya's gentle laugh vibrated through his body.
"Yazoo!"
He jumped again as his moronic brother shouted his name again. He was going to murder him if he didn't stop.
"When are we leaving?"
Yazoo looked to Byakuya in question. The thought hadn't crossed his mind.
"Whenever you are ready," Byakuya whispered into his ear.
Yazoo felt a blush heat his face as he shouted to his brother, "We're staying another day or two."
Loz let out a whoop as he entered his room again.
"What shall we do for another two days?" Byakuya's breath brushed over his skin as his lips caressed his ear. Yazoo shivered at the sensation and the images floating through his mind. What indeed.
Sephiroth sat on the examination table of the patient room trying desperately to keep from fidgeting. He could barely see Sesshomaru in his peripheral vision standing by the window. After passing out the night before, Sesshomaru had insisted Sephiroth see a doctor to be sure nothing was damaged. He had relented to his demon's demand and called Dr. Unohana after they had woken the second time, but she was in surgery and the nurses couldn't tell him when she would be done. So, to calm his demon, Sephiroth told Sesshomaru to bring him here.
A rapid knock on the door drew his attention as it opened. The doctor stood in the entryway to the room, arms crossed over her chest. "Are you certain you want me to be your doctor today? You did suggest I would not care for you properly."
Sephiroth knew seeing Dr. Tsunade would be uncomfortable, but he had to mend what was broken. Bowing his head as far as he could with the sling on his arm, he answered the surly blonde, "I sincerely apologize for my behavior. I had no reason to accuse you of the things I had imagined were real. Please accept my apology."
He kept his head down as he waited for her response. Dr. Tsunade sighed as her steps whispered across the tiled floor. When he saw her feet enter his sight she gently thumped him on the top of the head. "Damn brats causing me all kinds of trouble."
Raising his head Sephiroth was treated to a warm smile on Dr. Tsunade's face, "Now tell me what brings you to my hospital."
Sephiroth began telling her about the spasm in his shoulder the night before as she helped him out of the sling and then his shirt. Once his shirt slid free of his body Dr. Tsunade froze. Sephiroth watched her eyes switch from surprise to complete fury.
Turning to Sesshomaru, She shouted, "What the hell is wrong with you? He was barely released from the hospital after nearly dying and you mated him! I'm surprised you didn't kill him!"
She kept up her hostile tirade as she examined the mating mark, then moved to the wounds on his chest, "There doesn't appear to be any additional damage. Take your pants off. I need to make sure this idiot demon didn't tear you up in his stupidity."
Sephiroth couldn't help it, he began laughing. Dr. Tsunade gave him her best irate doctor look and hissed, "I do not see what is so damned funny."
Still chuckling, he answered, "If you're worried about that, you need to check him."
She frowned as her eyes followed Sephiroth's gesture towards Sesshomaru. Seeing the pale pink dusting the demon's cheeks, Dr. Tsunade let out a gasp. Sesshomaru turned his back on them in favor of examining what was going on outside the window causing the doctor to let out a snort of laughter.
Clearing her throat, she said, "I'm assuming your demonic power has already healed you."
The last bit of her statement ended with a stuttered laugh as Sesshomaru nodded.
The rest of the visit was pleasant as Dr. Tsunade gave him a thorough checkup and had a scan done of his injury to be sure everything was healing.
"It appears that any damage you may have sustained has already healed. Your injury has also begun to heal at an accelerated rate. If things continue as they are, you will be back to normal by your visit with Dr. Unohana."
She helped him put his shirt back on then told them they were free to go, but before she left the room she turned to Sesshomaru. "I shouldn't have to say this but you can not be the dominate one in sex until Dr. Unohana has seen Sephiroth."
Sesshomaru gave her a curt nod in response.
"That said if you wait two days you can be the uke again." Dr. Tsunade quickly left the room as a blushing Sesshomaru snarled at the doctor. His demon was vibrating in his anger as they left the room and headed for the elevator.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have told her," Sephiroth remarked as he pushed the button for the parking garage.
Sesshomaru turned to Sephiroth as the man kept his head down. He could feel the humor his mate felt but the uneasiness that fluttered in the background had Sesshomaru sighing in defeat.
"No. You did the right thing. I'm sure she would have continued on with her tirade as she forced the exam upon you. I just wasn't prepared for her reaction."
Sephiroth raised his head with a smile on his face. Reaching out Sesshomaru brushed his long hair away from his face. "Do you feel up to staying out for a bit? Inuyasha is at the club and I'm sure Miroku could use some help dealing with the idiot hanyo."
"I would like that."
Miroku sighed for what had to be the hundredth time as Inuyasha argued with the insurance man. He wished Sesshomaru was here because he had a way of dealing with these insurance people. An ability that was glaringly obvious Inuyasha lacked.
"Inuyasha," Miroku said calmly to get the hanyo's attention, "He can't do what he is not allowed."
Inuyasha snarled low in his throat as he stormed off to pick up a broom. Pushing around some of the debris in a useless attempt to clean up the place, Inuyasha continued to snarl out profanities.
"I'm sorry sir, but the damage is too extensive and the cause is not one of the events covered."
Miroku gently patted the man on the shoulder and stepped away from him. As he approached the emotional hanyo he caught movement from the corner of his eye. Miroku could see a visitor approach the insurance man from outside the gaping hole in the building. A smile crossed his face as he picked up one of the overturned chairs and sat.
Inuyasha was fighting his temper with every ounce of willpower he had. Ever since the gang war he had been trying to get his club back in order, but all the damned red tape had finally led him to a dead end. He hated dealing with these men who refused to help him. What the hell had he been paying them for anyway?
Leaning forward, he lay his forehead on the top of the broom handle. Maybe he was going to have to go to his father. That was the only way he could see to fix his business and get his people, his family, back to work.
"Great," He hissed. Inuyasha didn't want his father's involvement in the club.
The sound of crunching debris caused his ears to twitch as he fought back another angry snarl. Miroku's lecture over his temper was not something he needed to hear at the moment.
"You do realize cleaning this dump is useless."
Inuyasha's head jerked up at the familiar voice. Turning around he saw his brother standing with his arms crossed over his chest. Inuyasha let out an exasperated breath and stalked up to his brother. Wrapping his arms around Sesshomaru, Inuyasha muttered, "Bout damned time."
Strong hands gently stroked his back as Sesshomaru laid his head on his, "Sorry about that."
Inuyasha pulled back from his brother's arms, balled up his fist and punched Sesshomaru hard in the gut. Sesshomaru's breath left him in a whoosh of air as he bent over a bit, "And that's for leaving me alone while you wallowed in self-pity."
Inuyasha turned when he heard Miroku's smothered chuckle. Standing near his lover was Sephiroth with his arm in a sling. Raising his arm, Inuyasha pointed at the man, "And yours will come when you're healed."
Sesshomaru took a gasping breath as he stood straight, "As if I'd let you."
Inuyasha's eyes danced with laughter, "Like you could stop me."
Sesshomaru smiled as he turned his attention back to the crumbling building. "I talked with the insurance agent and unfortunately he is correct about their inability to help. However, we may be able to get some kind of payoff."
Inuyasha sighed as he too looked at the battered building, "What are the employees going to do? They're like family to me. I can't leave things like this."
"You won't." Another voice announced. Inuyasha snarled under his breath as he turned to see his father approach. Crossing his arms, he was about to tell his father to beat it when Inutaicho held his hand up to stall his words, "Let's just say I owe you and Sesshomaru an enormous debt. One I'm not willing to leave unpaid."
"What debt?" Inuyasha asked with a frown.
"You and your band of misfits took in my Yokai when their den had been destroyed. Then you fought off an army out to wipe them off the face of the earth. There is also the matter of my rescue."
Inuyasha looked to Sesshomaru, then back to his father. What could he say? He hadn't done what he did for the potential rewards. These people were his family, he wanted to help them out, to protect them in the only way he could. Reaching up he rubbed the back of his neck unsure of what to say.
"If you would allow me to, I would like to step in where your insurance company can not. I think losing the Aftershock did a grave injustice to this city."
"I wouldn't go that far," Inuyasha muttered as his cheeks heated.
His father's grin put him at ease, "I've already contacted some contractors to look at the building and offer their advice."
"And what should I do in return?"
Inutaicho shook his head at his son's question. Inuyasha was not used to having someone willing to help without reason. Perhaps he had failed in his role as a father. Even if he did, Inutaicho was proud of the demon Inuyasha had become. He may not be the most competent businessman on the planet, but he had a heart of gold.
"I expect nothing in return. You helped my people and stepped in for both your brother and myself while we were unavailable. You managed to secure a treaty with the Akatsuki and kept us all going. This is only a small thing compared to what you have done for us. Please allow me to show you my appreciation."
Inuyasha blushed from the praise his father was giving him. Shuffling on his feet, Inuyasha nodded his acceptance. "When do we meet with the contractors?"
"One should be here any moment. When he heard about the destruction of the Aftershock, he wouldn't stop whining about it. Then he found out you were my son and demanded I let him meet with you."
Just as Inuyasha was about to ask who this person was, a car slid to a stop in the cluttered parking lot. A tall man with black hair stumbled out of the dark car then looked around.
Inuyasha scrunched his nose at the boy, "Are you sure he can handle it?"
"Of course." His father answered as he waved to the man. A broad smile crossed the contractor's face as he jogged over. The closer he got the more his blue eyes wondered over the building.
Stopping before them the contractor whistled low, "It really had a number done to it."
The man's blue eyes turned to Inutaicho, "Did you tell him?"
The elder demon nodded in response as the dark-haired man stuck his hand out to Inuyasha, "Zack Fair at your service."
Inuyasha took the man's hand, "So you're the one who whined about the clubs forced closure."
"T," Zack whined to the demon lord, "You weren't supposed to tell him that part."
Inuyasha liked the nickname Zack had given his father as Inutaicho snarled in response. With a friendly smile, Inuyasha announced, "I look forward to working with you."
Blue eyes widened as the young man quieted, "Really?"
Inuyasha nodded and Zack let out a whoop as he grabbed the hanyo's hand, "I can't wait. Thank you so much."
He kept going while shaking Inuyasha's arm hard, then he stopped still. Inuyasha thanked god but frowned when Zack didn't let go. The man's eyes were focused on a spot over his shoulder. Inuyasha turned to see where Zack was looking when the man whispered Sephiroth's name. Everyone turned to the startled man as Sephiroth asked, "Do I know you?"
Zack smiled, "Ya. I'm Angeal's nephew. I'm not surprised you don't recognize me, I was very young the last time I saw you."
Sesshomaru could feel the prickle of panicked embarrassment float through their link. Sephiroth was carefully hiding his feeling as he conversed with the young man, but Sesshomaru felt his hackles raise. The boy kept going on about how this Angeal missed Sephiroth and how it would be great if they could see each other again after such a long time apart. Each gushed statement caused Sesshomaru's overbearingly protective nature to rise.
Sephiroth tried not to look over to where his mate was practically steaming from his heated anger. He could swear the demon would combust any moment.
Zack's voice was slowly drowned out by Sesshomaru's heated gaze just as the demon stormed his direction.
"You must excuse us, Sephiroth is recovering from a serious injury and needs his rest."
A powerful hand wrapped around his arm and lead him away from the building. Sephiroth would have normally expressed his disapproval over the sudden hostility, but something about the way Sesshomaru was acting made him stay silent. He wasn't afraid. No, definitely not afraid. Smiling to himself he followed his mate to the car.
Inuyasha stepped up to where Zack was staring at the retreating car. "You should know they are together."
Zack turned his wide grin to Inuyasha, "I know. His possessive attitude says it all. Besides, no one can miss the mating mark on Sephiroth's neck."
The two demons went still as they stared at the boy. Zack's grin faltered as Miroku asked, "What mark?"
"The teeth marks on Sephiroth's neck. Did you all not know?"
Inutaicho began laughing as Inuyasha rubbed his hands down his face. Zack smiled at their reaction, "I couldn't resist picking on Sephiroth's mate, but your reactions make it all the better."
Inuyasha looked at the boy with a mix of exasperation and laughter, "Just be careful, my brother can usually control his temper, but not where Sephiroth is concerned."
Inutaicho patted Zack hard on the back, "I like you, boy." Then he began walking away as he continued to chuckle.
Inuyasha smiled as his father escorted Zack away. He was really going to enjoy this boy's presence.
