A/N: This chapter�s a bit shorter than usual, but I was too tired to write anything else, so... But I think I might have the next chapter up tonight as well, so... If not tonight, then maybe tomorrow...
Oh, also, there will be no alert emails with this chapter. Gomen, but my email has been screwy lately, and I just really don�t have the time or patience to deal with it right now. : (

What did he Want?

The moment they were out of sight, Sesshomaru sprang into action.
Using inhuman speed, he rushed over to the unconscious Inuko and Arekusu, pausing for an instant to check for any injuries the pups may have gotten from the encounter.
The stench of fear was rank in the air, mingling with the overpowering miasma surrounding them, and he could scent the purple toxin on the breath of his sons as well as in the air. He knew that they had likely inhaled a generous amount of the shouki, and they would need to see a healer soon if they hoped to recover from it.
Letting a small curse escape him, he wrapped the pups tighter in the fur, and then, transforming into a large, orb-like ball of white light, he sped off into the castle, scenting the room Takehiko was in and heading toward it, vaguely pleased to find that both his father and Izayoi was there as well. That would save him the trouble of running around trying to find them and reveal this to them as well.
Not bothering to enter through a door (or really any sensible opening or fashion), Sesshomaru shot in through the window, causing a small storm of glass to fly through the air, littering the air and ground with large pieces of it, like crystal-clear shards of ice, before he finally came to a stop from his frantic rush right in front of Takehiko.
The healer and Izayoi seemed to be on the very of a heart attack as his abrupt appearance, but he paid no attention.
He had pups to look after, and a mate to find. He had no time to be concerned over the over-active nerves of the two women.
Wasting no time, he quickly moved to set his pups down on the futon, before turning toward Takehiko.
�They are sick.� He said simply, unwrapping the fur from about them, which still carried traces of the toxin in it�s grasp as he placed it in it�s customary place upon his shoulder once again.
Instantly a sort of silence fell around the room as each of the occupants (Sesshomaru excluded) exchanged confused and nervous glances, before Takehiko moved forward, shoving him out of the way in much the way she had when Inuyasha had been raped, and moving to hover over his two sons.
Sesshomaru, certain for the time being that his pups were in the best possible place they could be, quickly moved to exit the room without a second glance at the occupants.
�Sesshomaru, wait!� His father�s voice echoed after him, causing him to freeze stiffly in his tracks not even bothering to look back over his shoulder at the other Inuyoukai.
�What has happened?� The Dog lord asked, his face strangely pale, clearly sensing the tension in his eldest son... the tension he had only seen five times before now: When his mother had died, when he had remated to Izayoi, when Inuyasha had been born, when he had made his announcement that they would mate, and when Inuyasha had been raped.
Needless to say, it drew more than a little concern out in him that it would be rearing it�s ugly head again now, especially when involving his son�s pups.
For a long moment Sesshomaru was silent, his hands clenched tightly at his side-- small rivulets of blood escaping where the nails had dug in-- while everyone waited with baited breath to learn what had caused him to revert back to his old glacial ways that had not shown themselves for so long.
Then, slowly, quietly, his voice an icy monotone that barely reached their ears, Sesshomaru spoke.
�Naraku came back.� He said, not bothering to look back and see the other�s reactions.
He already knew what they would be.
Izayoi would be horrified and wide-eyed. Inu Taisho would be shocked, grim, and maybe a little angry. And Takehiko would likely be intent and grim.
�And what� Inu Taisho said slowly, is voice obviously being forced to keep it�s low and calm tone as he stared at the back of his son�s head. �Did he want?�
Sesshomaru could barely keep his voice under control as he responded to the sheer stupidity of that statement, his tone filled with ice and almost nothing else as he spoke.
�What do you think he would want?� He asked, a small hint of venom mixing in with the ice pouring from his eyes as mouth, and everyone could practically feel the temperature in the room drop several degrees.
Izayoi seemed to say something, but Sesshomaru did not hear it. He was too caught up in his own battle to remain calm, and not just start destroying everything and anything in sight... -- to keep himself from transforming and going on a rampage across the country until he found his mate and destroyed his assailant (which, at the moment, sounded like a very good and practical idea to his youki indeed). Slowly he looked back over his shoulder and fixed the other occupants of the room with his cold gaze, finally daring to speak the words his mind had been trying to deny ever since the incident had happened.
�He has taken Inuyasha.�

Glossary

Shouki - I think this means miasma, but I might have gotten my definitions mixed up... ^_^

Youki - A demon�s aura or energy

~*~

-nette - Yes. Everyone does don�t they? Naraku just can�t catch a break, can he? Lol, though he�s not exactly helping himself in that area... *sighs* everyone has really high hopes for what I�m gonna do with Inuyasha�s father... >_< Don�t know if I�ll be able to get it right though. -- Well, Arekusu and Inuko seem to be mostly fine. For now. And as for Tsukiko... well, I don�t think he�s gonna do anything too terrible to her... she is the main reason he has for kidnapping Inuyasha, neh? Still, you never know what my sadistic mind might come up with... ^_^
-SP777 - Lol, gomen about you missing all the chapters. I do think I waited a resaonable amount of time though... I gave everyone lots of time to rediscover the sight. Unfortunately not too many people have come back to read the story. Still, it�s good to hear from you again. ^_^ -- Yeah, I guess I do update a little fast. Or did. My updates have been on the rocks for the last month or so. >_< Really starting to piss me off... -- ^_^ Glad you liked my explanation for attracting mates. In all honesty, I had the basic idea for it down in my head, but when I started writing it I kept stopping and looking back, trying to figure out exactly what the hell it was I was talking about. ^_^ Still, you figured it out, and that�s all that really matters, neh? -- Lol, yep, Sess is feeling uncertainty. I imagine if I�d had to live with Inuyasha, after being suddenly thrown into a mating thing with him, then finding him raped and looking after him, and then dealing with him being pregnant and giving birth, I�d be a little on the edge myself. ^_^ -- Lol, I�m glad you liked Arekusu. In all honesty I was a little uncertain if I wanted to use that name (especially when I got bored and looked it up on google images (don�t ask me why ^_^) and it showed a whole bunch of pictures of some type of sofa or something) but I found that the more I thought about it as a name for the eldest pup, the more I liked it. ^_^ Yeah, I had to leave Gina out... sorry bout that, but there were only three pups, and I had my heart set on Inuko, Tsukiko and (eventually) Arekusu. Maybe I�ll use that for my next fic though, neh? ^_^ -- Yep, Naraku�s made his appearance... though I don�t doubt the nitty-gritty that will ensue, I�m not sure if Inu will get to kick his ass... I�m definitely gonna have to put him through some real turmoil first... ^_^ Anyway, thanks for reviewing again! ^_^
-Mari - Mm, yeah. I know. My sentences aren�t the best at the moment. Although I personally think I�ve gotten better than since the beginning of the story, neh? ^_^ Hopefully I can continue to improve that. I am working on it though... Sometimes it just takes time for it to actually click. Still, I agree with you-- using them too often disrupts and degrades the quality and the flow of the rest of the work. >_< Still, glad you�re liking it despite that flaw ^_^
