A/N: *blinks*
Woah... has it really been a month since I updated? O.O
How the hell did that happen?!
*shakes head*
I’m really sorry bout keeping you guys hanging like that for so long! I swear it wasn’t intentional! School’s been shitty, people have been getting sick, and my muses went AWOL on me. They just didn’t want to write this chapter.
Inuyasha (Stupid baka!-- and yes, before you ask, I am shouting at a fictional person!) decided he didn’t want to cooperate with me at all in this chapter though and be nearly as traumatized as I was attempting to make him, and in return he went and messed up everybody else. *shakes head* I’m gonna have to have a long talk with Rumiko Takahashi sometime about making her characters a little less difficult to work with.
~*~
Are You for Real?
‘Sesshomaru.’
It was soft-- barely more than a cracked whisper that was all but lost in the surrounding air-- but Sesshomaru heard it nonetheless. And it was enough to make his head snap up in surprise.
The gathering of miasma around them had alerted both him and Inu Taisho of the fact that Naraku’s presence was, indeed, near and that the bastard kumo was likely coming out to meet them, and thus both of the inu’s had agreed that it would be best to return to their humanoid form so that they might be able to better “discuss” whatever... negotiations Naraku might have planned to propose.
However, because he was in such a vulnerable state when he was caught between the two forms of himself and all his senses became all but obsolete during that time, he had not been able to scent the faint traces of Inuyasha that had appeared on the air, and he had simply assumed that Naraku had arrived alone.
He had not expected the kumo to show up with his mate like this.
Or... at least... whatever was left of him.
Because the creature standing so solemnly before him now... he could barely recognise as living, let alone confirm to be his own brother and mate.
Inuyasha was skinny. Well, maybe that was a bit of an understatement, but it was the only word that Sesshomaru could think of to describe the incredible thinness of the boy before him. Inuyasha’s body was shallow and concave-- full of dips and hollows where none had been or should have been present-- and his very flesh seemed to cling to his bones in a way that suggested there was nothing else underneath to hold it on.
His arms and legs were little more than sticks, and the latter were trembling and swaying in a way that was almost violent from their valiant effort to support the boy’s body weight. Or rather, lack thereof.
All in all, it seemed to Sesshomaru that the tiniest wisp of a breeze would be enough to knock Inuyasha clean off his feet, and a full-fledged one might carry the half-demon away entirely.
And yet, somehow, despite these waiffish qualities, that wasn’t the worst of it. No. Starvation, Sesshomaru knew Inuyasha could handle. They had both gone without food and water for much longer periods of time than this before-- both out of training and because there simply was not a choice. So, while he was certainly concerned about his brother’s condition, this was not what worried him.
What worried him was the scent of miasma that was covering his brother-- seemingly leaking out of every one of his pores, and tainting the air with every breath he released as though trapped within his very lungs. What worried him was the dirt and the blood and the filth and the semen that clung to absolutely every inch of Inuyasha’s body-- from the very tips of his battered and bruised feet, all the way up and into his haggard and mangled hair that hung limply about his frame, completely devoid now of any of the lustre or shine it had possessed before.
What worried him were the deep, sunken, shadowed pools of dulled golden nothingness that were currently staring waveringly at him. Inuyasha’s eyes were... voids. That was the only way to describe them. Blank, empty and looking more like they were staring through him, rather than at him.
And this, Sesshomaru realised with a start, was what he had expected to see in Inuyasha the first time his little brother had encountered Naraku.
These smothered, fathomless pits that held captive inside them only the very scattered remnants of his brother’s soul.
There was nothing left there-- only the barest glimmers of fire and hope existed, and they were buried near the very bottom-- kept alive clearly only by Inuyasha’s own will to remain alive, which had, somehow, stayed alive throughout this entire thing. It was quite obvious, however, that this was starting to fade away as well.
And he could feel his breath catch sharply in his throat in his shock at the sight before him, even as within him his yoki keened softly-- crying out towards his unanswering mate, trying to find out if it’s mate was still alright...
It was about this time that Naraku, who had been drawling on in the background with his father about some vague topic finally seemed to decide it was time to take notice of Sesshomaru as well, and he turned toward the inu demon-- his crimson eyes glittering malevolently and a cruel smirk twisting his features as he spoke.
‘Is something the matter, Lord Sesshomaru?’ The hanyo question, mock-concern lacing his every word as the very sound of his voice made Sesshomaru’s hackles rise. ‘You do not seem pleased at the sight of your... mate.’
Sesshomaru’s eyes flashed crimson as they flickered toward the kumo, but a low growl was all he bothered to spare the demon with, before his full attention was again drawn back to his little brother.
Within him, his youki was in a most frantic state-- twisting and thrashing in it’s panic to evoke a reaction from Inuyasha’s own youki, but getting nothing more than the barest shifts from his mate in answer.
‘Perhaps,’ Naraku said, amusement obvious in his voice at Sesshomaru’s clear devastation, even as one of his hands came up to take hold of Inuyasha’s hair-- pulling his head back by his silver tresses until it was lolling awkwardly against his shoulder. And Sesshomaru did not miss the spark of pain and fear that flared to life in Inuyasha’s eyes at this act-- nor the sudden pulse of demonic energy that swelled to life at the motion, centring somewhere around the boy’s neck.
Sesshomaru’s eyes slid down to the pale column of flesh-- focusing in on the raw, and all but rotted skin that now covered it-- before moving to fixate on the large, black band there, digging tightly into Inuyasha’s flesh and rubbing it raw... And he felt rage flash through him as he realised two things.
One, Inuyasha had been collared. Collared and leashed, as if he were no more than a common mutt!
And two, this horribly degrading piece of neckwear also happened to be, not only where the chain that bound him to Naraku was attached, but where the strange, malevolent aura was being released from.
His eyes narrowed as he stared at the band, trying to determine exactly why it was he was feeling such a strange presence from it, when Naraku’s voice again cut him off.
‘-- Would you like a closer look?’
The question was low, and uttered as though the kumo had been finishing a sentence. However, whatever the hell it was that the bastard had been saying before was completely lost on Sesshomaru.
Apparently it did not matter much, because the next second Naraku’s hands began to move-- sliding up Inuyasha’s body in a slow, sensuous, and all around vulgar glide that made Inuyasha shudder in revulsion, and Sesshomaru’s eyes bleed sporadically to red, poison hissing from under his nails despite himself. All it earned them was a small, deep chuckle from the spider, and those hands continuing to move up; stopping when they reached his neck, Naraku brushed his fingers against the black band there, before moving around-- unhooking the chain that bound Inuyasha and allowing it to fall to the ground like a boneless, metal snake.
Inuyasha blinked slowly in confusion at the sound of the chain rattling despite his lack of mobility, and, despite his currently arched neck that had his face tilted skyward, attempting to glance at the group of metal links.
He was not given much opportunity to do so, however, because the next second Naraku’s hands slid around his back-- one moving to collide harshly with him directly between the shoulderblades, sending him spiralling forward with a small cry of surprise.
Not expecting the sudden assault on his being, Inuyasha fell blindly forward-- his feet catching in the chain and making him stumble even worse as the ground rushed up to meet him. It did not get the chance to connect, however, because in an instant Sesshomaru was there-- strong arms wrapping around him and saving him from the fall, before drawing him back-- away from Naraku and up against the strong, familiar chest of his brother.
A strange wave of familiarity and comfort swept through Inuyasha’s entire being-- shaking him to the core and sending warmth spiralling through him-- momentarily shocking him after living for so long with the ice that had filled him. It was enough to even get his otherwise dormant youki’s attention, and make his eyes go wide with the emotions attempting to flood through him.
Yet, despite that-- despite the love and belonging he could feel while in his brother’s embrace-- he still remained rigid and tense against him.
And there were a variety of reasons for that.
The first of which, Naraku was still standing maybe ten feet behind him, and was very much a threat to them both at the moment.
The second... after everything he had experienced with Naraku... he was having a very hard time handling being touched. Even like this. Even by Sesshomaru. It was sending spikes of fear racing through him, and made him want to squirm and pull away, though he knew he was far too weak to actually accomplish anything in the effort, and that he had no real reason to even attempt it. His mind refused to accept that, and thus he remained as taut as a bowstring in his mate’s embrace.
The third reason... he didn’t know if this was real.
During the last little while the hallucinations he had been experiencing had been getting worse and more frequent, and he found he was having a hard time distinguishing them from reality.
And he hated it, because whenever he had one with Sesshomaru in it, it almost always ended up with Naraku tearing him away, or Sesshomaru rejecting him.
And... he didn’t think he could handle that anymore. His youki had even begun to give up on it, tired of getting all worked up and wasting precious energy on a mate that was not truly there.
Yet this felt... different from the hallucinations somehow.
It felt real if he dared to put a name to it.
And he wasn’t sure if that frightened him more than if it had just been another dream.
Still, he needed to know-- he had to find out what this actually was. If he was still in the world of his miserable, hopeless reality, or if his mind was trying to suck him down again.
‘S... Sesshomaru?’ Inuyasha whispered, his throat scraping almost painfully against each and every syllable as he remained tense and unyielding in his brother’s grip-- choosing to ignore the other two beings there for the time being.
‘I’m here, Inuyasha.’ Was murmured softly somewhere near his ear, causing the abused appendage to flicker back a little, before flattening completely in his state of desperation.
Inuyasha’s heart pounded madly in his chest-- threatening to break any number of ribs with the force of it’s powerful beats as he felt a small glimmer of hope bubble up inside of him. A hope that, despite it’s faintness, he did not want to disappear again. He needed it. He needed something to help keep him going. Which was why he hesitated before speaking again.
Because the response... could very well snuff out that small spark within him. It could turn this all into a dream, from which he would then wake up again. Alone. Frightened. With no one but Naraku, and his missing daughter who may or may not still be hidden somewhere within the castle.
Pausing a moment, Inuyasha sucked back a deep, shuddering breath-- willing some saliva to wet his throat so he might actually be able to say something-- before he spoke again.
‘Are you?’ He asked, so quietly that Sesshomaru had to strain to hear him despite their close proximity. ‘Are you for real?’
Sesshomaru who (in spite of his longing to keep his full attention focused on his mate) had been keeping one of his eyes fixed upon the kumo standing a few feet away, could not help but be startled by this question-- by the broken whisper it was uttered on-- and he did not hesitate to show it in the confused and concerned frown he offered his brother. An action which was completely lost on Inuyasha, who could not see his brother’s face with his own currently buried against the folds of Sesshomaru’s kimono.
‘Of course I am, otouto.’ He murmured, the words feeling heavy against his throat as he leaned down to press his lips against the crown of Inuyasha’s head while trying to ignore the way this small action somehow seemed to both relax Inuyasha, and make him stiffen even more-- instead focusing in on Naraku... and he could not help but wonder why the hanyou was not objecting to this.
After working so hard to steal Inuyasha away from him, Sesshomaru had not expected Naraku to so willingly allow him this close to his mate... Not that he was about to object it, it just seemed... odd to him. And it instantly made him all the more wary of the demon before him.
He was not allowed to focus on this for long, because apparently his statement had been exactly what Inuyasha needed to hear.
The hanyou fell into his brother’s embrace, trembling and whimper and crying softly, and shaking all the while in his efforts not to do any of the former as he buried himself against Sesshomaru-- inhaling deeply of the familiar scent that seemed so foreign to him now in a vague attempt to wash out any traces of Naraku within his nose.
One of his brother’s arms came up to wrap around him-- pulling him closer-- and Inuyasha nestled into the grip, trying to push down the growing, nauseous waves that were racing through him at being held that tight and intimately by anyone, and just focus instead on how safe and comfortable he felt in his brother’s grip.
He thought he might have heard Naraku murmur something, but he couldn’t focus on it. He couldn’t focus on anything but Sesshomaru at the moment-- willing himself to believe that it was alright for him to do so, and that the elder youkai would protect him now. That Naraku wouldn’t touch him again.
Seemingly of their own accord, Inuyasha’s hands came up to trace over Sesshomaru’s shoulders lightly, before slowly beginning to move down-- sliding over his chest and arms and down to hover over his hips for a moment, before one moved up to rest on the flat of his brother’s stomach-- each of the fingers bent slightly and poised so the nails were razoring teasing over the silky fabric separating him from his brother. And it was then that Inuyasha realised with a rather violent start that he had no control over the appendages.
He couldn’t move his arms from where they had poised themselves, nor could he withdraw from Sesshomaru’s unwitting embrace.
Fear and dread reared up almost painfully within Inuyasha as his eyes flew wide open at the unfortunately familiar sensation of having no control over his body even as about his neck, he felt the collar give a rather large pulse of youki, before clamping down tightly around him.
Wrenching his head away from his brother, Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something-- utter some kind of warning and let his mate know of the danger he was in... but he never got the chance, because the moment his mouth opened, the collar tightened to an unbearable level-- choking him and cutting off anything he might have tried to say. The tiny spines lining it’s inner edges stabbed deeply into his flesh, releasing a fresh wave of their toxin inside his body, and all that managed to escape his tortured lips was an agonized keening sound.
And by the time Sesshomaru pulled back to find out what was wrong with his mate, it was far too late.
Blackness clouded around Inuyasha’s vision as the poison worked it’s way through him, and it was all he could do to keep his trembling body standing as the spell of the collar continued to work over him.
Nails stretched and elongated unnaturally from the hand still poised against Sesshomaru’s stomach-- pricking through fabric and brushing against flesh before, with one violent, fatal sweep, Inuyasha plunged his hand forward.
Blood gushed over his hand as he tore through fabric and flesh and veins-- burying his fist deeply and unwillingly into his brother’s stomach... hearing and feeling the small gasp that escaped his mate’s lips as it fluttered past his ear-- an answering whimper tearing free from him, before, without consent from his mind, his hand twisted-- slicing against Sesshomaru’s insides-- before yanking it violently out, an agonized scream tearing free from his throat and filling the surrounding area as the blood dripped from his hands-- rising up to match the soft, startled cry of pain Sesshomaru emitted from the action, and the chorus of Narku’s maniacal laughter that moved to surrounded them.

A/N: Well, c’mon, how bad was that? *grimaces* On second thought, don’t tell me. ^_^ Still, hope you all enjoyed the nice little twist at the end... ^_^
-Sekre - Lol, oh see, that makes a bit more sense. I was just sitting there with my eyes bugging out of my head wondering how the hell a person could read so much in so short a time, but now you’ve cleared it up for me. ^_^ No super-powered speed-readers here, just a glitch in our communication. ^_^ Lol, well maybe it’s surprising to you, but to me the only thing that’s surprising about it is when I actually get somewhere in my blind meanderings through this fic. ^_^ Still, I don’t think I necessarily just throw things out there because I want to-- I do make an effort in trying to make the story make sense-- so I guess you’re right about that. And yes, when I do do that, I try and cover myself. But I don‘t really have any set style in anything involving writing and fics... ^_^ Lol, luckily enough for me, it seems to be workinG! ^_^ Mm, yeah, bittersweet endings are always the best-- they cover both your longing for a happy ending, and your desire not to see the people making the endings fuck it up and go all “everything magically was fine again and they all lived happily ever after” at the same time. ^_^ Inu and Sess are just such a great couple for the angst stuff. They’re personalities are exact opposites (contrast is always good for relationships between characters, because, with a pairing like, say, Kouga and Inuyasha, they’d always be shouting and screaming at each other and the end result would be them fighting just about all the time... not that that pairing doesn’t work, just not as well in my opinion, and they‘d probably really be more fuck-buddies than anything) yet have just enough similarities to make it interesting when they do clash with each other. Plus, there’s the whole “they hate each other and are trying to kill each other” thing that you can work around to make the relationship even more twisted and complicated. Yes, I realise I’ve probably given this entirely too much thought, but I tend to do that with most things, so... ^_^ -- Still, I actually haven’t read a fic yet with Sess and Inu that had a totally happy ending that didn’t seem stupid. I’m probably just not looking hard enough (I tend to be a very picky reader) but overall I think I agree with what you’re saying. Luckily enough for me, this is an AU, so maybe if I do go “happy-ending” on everyone, it’ll still work! ^_^
-colonelhavoc - Lol, yeah, well I usually like to get in the whole of the first paragraph before I decide if I want to continue with it or not, but sometimes I don’t even make it that far either. Lol, yeah, Naraku isn’t done with our fav inu’s yet... And, while you may get a happy ending, you’re right, as I think I demonstrated in this chap, I’ve still got a few more twists left that I think are going to effectively stun you for a bit, if not give you the heartattack you’re searching for. ^_^ And I’m glad that you don’t blame me... Cause then I‘d feel even worse about giving your heart conniptions... *offers up some pocky* Maybe that’ll make you feel a bit better? I mean, I know it’s not a certified cure for heartattacks, but still...
-Taylor - Lol, thank you! I’m glad you like it! *beams* -- Oh, you read them did you? Hm... you must not have a whole lot of concern for your mental health, then. Lol, I tend to be quite spastic and random when I’m replying to people (as I’m sure you’ve noticed). Still, whatever, after all it’s you sanity. ^_^ -- Mm, yeah, of course! Don’t let my comments deter you from seeing it! I just like to rant when I get pissed off (and at every other moment of my life) and I tend to be really harsh to thinks like movies and books. Since rambling about it, I have unearthed a couple of people who have enjoyed it and didn’t know what the hell I was talking about, so maybe you’ll like it too. ^_^ -- Hm, mean? Well, actually, I rather prefer to think of myself as sadistic, but I suppose mean works too. ^_^ Lol, and I’m glad that you’re enjoying it! And any and all of your “speculation” is very much appreciated! ^_^
-Minea - Lol, I’m glad you liked the hallway thing. Originally that was much shorter and less descriptive, but then I went back and rewrote it because... well, it was short and needed more description. ^_^ Still, glad you enjoyed it, and the ending with Inu saying Sess’s name... hopefully you liked this chapter just as much! ^_^
-SP777 - Lol, another FMA fan? (lol, although I have to admit I only got interested in it this year, but hey, I live in Canadia, this is the first time (as far as I know) that they’ve aired it over here). Lol, I know what you mean about the release date thing, I tried finding out on the internet, and, as near as I could tell, It was being released in the US on the 29th of august or September; it was being released on the 13th of September; it was being released in Canada in Novemeber; It was coming to Canada soon; It wasn’t coming to Canada at all. Drove me up the fucking wall! Still, though, I’ve got it now and it was well worth all the stress and conniptions it caused trying to find out about it! LOVED the ending! (If you haven’t seen it yet, I doubt this’ll soil anything for you, but I’m warning you ahead of time just in case) It would’ve been great if Ed couldn’t taken Heiderich to his world and they all lived happily ever after, but that just wouldn’t have been satisfying. (Okay, it’s safe again) Lol, I don’t know about the Inu movies though, because by the time I found out that there were Inu movies, the first three were already available. *shrugs* ^_^ -- Mm. Yeah, I know what you mean. Well, sort of, but my body is weird and it never let’s me set schedules for anything, but I remember from a time when it did (so very long ago) and it’s not at all fun. -- Mm, you’re probably about the Inu writers. I’ve only got the last six episodes left in the anime, but already I can feel my disappointment trying to rise up. *sighs* You’re right, though, it did get all violent and weird for no real reason in the last couple of episodes, and I’m sure it’s only gonna get worse. However, I didn’t really notice that it changed like you say it did. Maybe that’s because I haven’t been paying very much attention to it lately. FMA caught my attention, and now that Inu’s slipping further downhill, I’ve just given up trying to follow it. It’s much more fun to watch Ed spaz out on people about his height then watch Miroku, Sango and Shippo give Inuyasha another guilt trip about Kagome letting think about Kikyo. -- Hm. Well, actually, I don’t know if I will like the Rin-Sess arc, simply because I don’t read the manga. Before you start beating me senseless over this, let me just say in my defence that the manga’s are expensive, I don’t have the patience or tolerance to sit and read them in the library, and I don’t think I’d be able to sit through them anyway. No offence to them, of course, I’m sure they’re great, I’ve just never been one much for manga’s. Okay, now you can beat me senseless-- just watch the fingers and the eyes, k? Can’t write without those, now can I? ^_^ Mm, Sess’ mother is alive then? Lol, well I’m glad this is a AU then, and that I was very vague about her in my brief mention of her way back when. See, though, it does pay not to set those things in stone in your fics, cause you never know if you’ll end up being wrong later. Not that it’s a big deal if you are wrong, but some people tend to get snippy about it, so... ^_^ Lol, anyway... When am I going to give Inu a break? Hm... well, I don’t know... Not any time soon, by the looks of it. Sess isn’t getting off easy, either, for that matter. It’s just far too much fun to torture them! ^_^ Still, I’ll see what I can’t do about Inu kicking Naraku’s ass... and then I’ll see if I can find a way to do it. ^_^ And as to your little question at the bottom, I agree-- they should make pages-- but I don’t think anyone is reading the reviews... if you like, I can ask people on the next chapter post what they think? Up to you. Anyway, thanks again for reviewing, and for putting up with my loooooong rambles! ^_^
-JuneKit - Don’t worry, no one has been removed from the mailing list, last chap my email was just down is all. I always leave a note at the top/bottom of the chapter letting people know when my email is down, so no worries. ^_^ Lol, well if that’s how you want to read it, then by all means! Might be a good idea, cause then you get the whole shebang all at once without having to wait for me to get my ass in gear and update. ^_^ Still, glad you liked what you skimmed in the last chap! ^_^
-riddlestar - You do? What gave you that idea? ^_^ Lol, yeah, you’re right-- as far as I can tell, it’s gonna be damn hard to get out of this. ^_^ Mm, yeah, well he did feel a little better, to be sure. For a while, anyway. But then my muses caught onto that, and they quickly moved to squash that emotion from the fic. Damn sadists. -- Lol, well I’m sorry for giving you all these cliffies. I have a feeling this last one didn’t help matters any, did it? Hopefully you’ll forgive me, though. ^_^ Lol, yeah... this thing has gotten damn long, hasn’t it? Of course, the chapter number doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the length-- I have a 73 chap story that, I’m fairly certain, is shorter than this (and still not finished, curse my muses!). To be a novel, though, I think it has to be at least 50,000 words (or something like that). Do you suppose this is that long? Like, excluding rambles and everything? *eyes fic sceptically* *shrugs* I dunno. Doesn’t really matter, I suppose, because it can’t be a novel. It can still be damn long, though, which I think it has achieved. ^_^ Might have to break off somewhere and make it into a sequel or something. Or rather, make a sequel for it. ^_^ Sorry about not updating very fast this time, I’m hoping to get the next chapter up a lot sooner than this one was, and hopefully I’ll start updating regularly after that. Bleargh. I always get slow toward the ends of stories, it seems. >_<
-Silverhair - Lol, I’m glad you’re liking it! ^_^ And thank you so much! I’m glad you think so! (Bleagh, glad, I’m really starting to hate that word... there has to be another word I can use other than glad... >_<) Lol, it’s good to know that my translations were useful to someone. I’m not entirely certain if all of them are right, though, a couple people have said some of them are off, but other people have said they are on, and I, personally, have no real knowledge on the subject so I’m just giving the meanings that I got for them from jap-eng dictionary and stuff like that. Lol, anyway, I know how annoying it can be sometimes to be reading through a fic and see a word in a different language that you don’t know the meaning of and have to go out and try and find out what the hell it means, so I’m glad that it was some help in fixing that problem. ^_^ As to the childrens names, again, glad you like, though really the earlier readers are more to credit for them than me-- they submitted and voted for the names they wanted and I just went along with what they chose for the most part. It’s just lucky that my readers have good taste, I guess. ^_^ Hopefully I’ll get some more with Arekusu, Inuko and Tsukiko in sometime later on, but for now I’m afraid they, like everyone else, have been kind of shoved to the side. Anyway, that was a really long response, and I’m sure you’re thoroughly bored by now... Gomen again for taking so long updating! I swear I’m gonna try and get the next chapter up sooner! And thanks again for reviewing, and all your wonderful, ego-inflating complements! ^_^
-angel_chick - Lol, I’m glad you like it! And don’t worry, I have no intentions whatsoever of abandoning this fic. You readers have stuck with it through 66 chapters already, the least I can do is provide an ending, neh? ^_^ Really? Yeesh. That’s, like, the 7th meaning I’ve found for Rin’s name. *sighs in defeat* It’s a lost cause! Lol, thanks for the name-meaning anyway! Any and all help always appreciated! ^_^
-LadyVirgo91656 - Lol, cool, and thanks for your help. I’ve found several meanings for Yasha, and I realise that with “Inuyasha” it does mean “Dog-demon” though when I use it separately I tend to use the definition I found of it meaning “female-demon.” As far as I can tell, though, it has myriad meanings. Izayoi, though, everyone seems to agree means exactly what you said. ^_^ Thanks so much for the help! It’s always appreciated! Hope you’re enjoying the story! ^_^
