Toxic Love

"I didn’t lie to you, I said no shots, not no doctor." Sesshomaru said to Naraku. "Bankotsu, go to your room." Sesshomaru ordered. Bankotsu got up off the couch.
"And you can forget about the phone." Sesshomaru told him.
"Fine," Bankotsu said and walked upstairs.
"Now, Naraku lets talk." Sesshomaru requested as he sat down on the couch. Naraku sat down next to Sesshomaru.
"I'm sorry for kicking you." Naraku apologized.
"It's okay. It's all just a misunderstanding." Sesshomaru told him.

"I will talk to the doctor when we go about giving you something besides a needle." Sesshoumaru reassured him.
"Okay." Naraku replied.
"Good now go get ready for dinner" Sesshomaru ordered.
"Don’t punish Bank because of me." Naraku pleaded.
"Oh you want him to have the phone." Sesshoumaru asked him.
"Yes I want him fit him." Naraku told him.
"Okay tomorrow after school he'll get a phone." Sesshoumaru told him.
Naraku looked at the photo album in Sesshoumaru lap. Naraku opened the book.
“That’s my mommy and daddy; it's my fault they died." Naraku said to him.
"Why do you say that?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"If it wasn't for me asking for milk they wouldn't have had to leave the house, I'll never ask you for anything, I don't want to lose you too." Naraku told him.


"It wasn’t your fault." Sesshomaru told him.
"Feh, if you say so." Naraku responded.
"In fact, I don’t ever want to hear those words come out of your mouth again." Sesshomaru told him. "Sure." Naraku said.
“Good, now go get ready for dinner." Sesshomaru told him. Naraku got off the couch and kissed Sesshomaru on the jaw before going to wash his hands.

Sesshoumaru touched his jaw where Naraku kissed him. Bankotsu came back down “Something on your face?" Bankotsu asked him. Sesshoumaru turned his head to see Bankotsu. "How long have you been there?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"Not too long." Bankotsu told him.
"You should thank Naraku." Sesshoumaru told him as he stood up
."For what," Bankotsu questioned.
"He convinced me to get you a phone." Sesshoumaru answered.
"Great! Can you please keep him busy tomorrow when my friends come over?" he asked Sesshoumaru as they walked into the kitchen.

"Naraku will be doing his schooling in my study, so you won’t be seeing much of him tomorrow." Sesshomaru told him.
"Okay, thanks." Bankotsu said as Naraku came down stairs and sat down in his chair next to Sesshomaru. Bankotsu took his seat as well. "Mr. Taisho, your step mom is one the phone." Jaken told him.
Sesshoumaru glared at Jaken as he took the phone from him. Jaken ran out the room.
"What do you want Izayoi?" Sesshoumaru asked her.
"Sesshoumaru I was hoping that Inuyasha could come over and play with Naraku tonight." she said.
"Why does he have to come over tonight?" Sesshoumaru growled.
"Well your father and I need to go to an event and we would rather Inuyasha stay with family, besides Inuyasha can’t stop talking about Naraku." Izayoi said.

Sesshoumaru growled. Naraku looked at him. "Very well but he has to be gone by tomorrow afternoon." Sesshoumaru told her.
"Great." she said and hung up the phone.

Next thing the doorbell rang. “Mr. Taisho your little brother is here." the maid said.

Sesshomaru sighed. "I wonder what she would of done if I had said no?" Sesshomaru thought to himself. "Bring him in, and wash him up for dinner." Sesshomaru told the maid.
"Yes sir." The maid said and left the kitchen. The maid came back in the kitchen a few minutes later with Inuyasha in tote. Inuyasha sat down next to Naraku and the maid made their plates.
“Hi.” Naraku said to him.
"Hi Naraku I bought my cars over so we can play later." Inuyasha told him.
"Great maybe daddy will play too." Naraku said. Sesshoumaru swallowed the food in his mouth. "No you two play after all Inuyasha is here to play with you." Sesshoumaru said as he glared at his half brother. Inuyasha gulped.
"Daddy said you better be nice to me." Inuyasha told Sesshoumaru.

"Oh and what’s daddy going to do? Punish me? Ha." Sesshomaru said as he continued to eat. Inuyasha began to tear and got up from the table and walked out of the room. Naraku looked at Sesshomaru and pushed his plate away.
"You big meanie!" Naraku yelled at him and quickly left the kitchen in search of Inuyasha.
Sesshoumaru set his fork down and got up from the table to find Naraku and Inuyasha.
"It's ok Inuyasha, my brother doesn't always want me around either.” Naraku soothed him.
"But Sesshoumaru hates me." Inuyasha said as he wiped his tears away.
"Hey you want to paint?" Naraku asked him.
Inuyasha nodded his head and Naraku pulled out his old paint kit that he had at the orphanage. The two started painting. They were laughing and painting when Sesshoumaru found them.

"Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said as he walked into the room.
"Yes Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked him as he continued to paint.
"I apologize." Sesshomaru said to him.
"Are you feeling okay?" Inuyasha asked him. Sesshomaru raised an eye brow at him.
"I think that if you are truly sorry you will let us paint." Naraku told him.
"You two are painting." Sesshomaru told him.
"No, we want to paint on you." Naraku told him in a cute voice.

"No." Sesshoumaru said to him. Naraku pouted.
Sesshoumaru sighed. "Fine." Sesshoumaru said as he sat down on the floor. Naraku crawled over to Sesshoumaru and smiled as he began painting Sesshoumaru's face. When Inuyasha saw that Sesshoumaru wasn't lashing out at Naraku he began to paint Sesshoumaru's hands. Naraku drew circles on Sesshoumaru's demon markings. Naraku's nose was touching Sesshoumaru’s .

Sesshomaru wiggled his nose, making Naraku giggle. Naraku sat up. "What kind of paint is this anyway?" Sesshomaru asked him.
"It's washable." Naraku told him. Sesshomaru nodded his head and closed his eyes. Inuyasha's stomach growled. "Um, I'm going to go finish my dinner." Inuyasha said to them and left. Sesshomaru picked up Inuyasha's paint brush and started to draw on Naraku's forehead.
Naraku looked into Sesshoumaru's golden eyes. As Sesshoumaru painted his forehead
Naraku lifted his hand and touched Sesshoumaru's silver hair. "Your hair is soft." Naraku complimented. Sesshoumaru stopped painting Naraku's forehead.
"Naraku are you going to be this good when you’re 16?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"Yes I'm going to be a good boy." Naraku said as he stood up.
Sesshoumaru put the paint brush down and looked at Naraku. "I wish I was tall like Bank." Naraku said to him.
"You will be someday." Sesshoumaru reassured him.

"Let's go back down and get something to eat." Naraku said to him.
"You go I'll be down in a few minutes." Sesshoumaru told him. Naraku nodded his head and left.

Once Naraku was gone, Sesshoumaru's beast howled. Sesshoumaru's eyes bled red; his beast wanted the young boy, it loved his scent.


"Maybe I should send him to boarding school?" Sesshomaru asked himself as he walked back into the kitchen. Sesshomaru sat down in his chair. Bankotsu looked at him and began to laugh. "What’s so funny?" Sesshomaru asked him. Naraku held up his spoon for Sesshomaru to see his upside down reflection. Sesshoumaru's eyes went wide at what he saw. He had forgotten to wash the paint off his face.

Sesshomaru shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat.

When Dinner was over, Bankotsu went upstairs to his room while Naraku and Inuyasha went back in his room.

++++

Bankotsu knocked on Sesshoumaru's bedroom door.

"Come in." Sesshoumaru said.
"You do know that Naraku and Inuyasha are still covered in paint?" Bankotsu asked him. Sesshoumaru sighed. He had taken a shower to get the paint off, but had forgotten about the two boys. Sesshoumaru walked out his bedroom to see Naraku and Inuyasha playing with the cars Inuyasha brought over.
"You two need a bath." Sesshoumaru said to them.
"We don't wanna." Inuyasha whined.
“Not up to you." Sesshoumaru said to him.
"I don't want to wet my ears." Inuyasha told Sesshoumaru.

"It doesn’t look like your ears have paint on them." Sesshomaru told him.
"While you two talk about painted ears, I'm going to go take a shower." Naraku said. Naraku took his shirt off and handed it to Sesshomaru. Once Sesshoumaru had taken it, Naraku walked out of his room and into the bathroom. "Inuyasha, you can use my bathroom." Sesshomaru told him.
Inuyasha pouted but walked off without further hesitation.

As the two boys took their respective showers, Sesshoumaru put Naraku’s shirt in the hamper.

"He's going to be the death of me." Sesshoumaru said to himself.

++++

Naraku came back 30 minutes later in nothing but a towel.

"All clean want to check me?" Naraku innocently asked him. Sesshoumaru turned his back on him.
"No, I'm going to check on Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru told him and left the room.

Sesshoumaru came back a few minutes later with a growling hanyou. “Stay out of my cologne." Sesshoumaru told Inuyasha as he sat him on Naraku's bed.


"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Inuyasha said as he got dressed. Naraku walked over to his closet and got dressed. "Naraku, I'm going to go to sleep." Inuyasha informed him.

"Okay, you can take my bed." Naraku offered.
"Okay, good night." Inuyasha said and lay down on Naraku's bed. Naraku turned off the light and walked out of his room. He then closed the door and walked into Sesshoumaru's room.

"Naraku, do you need something?" Sesshomaru asked upon his arrival.
"Yeah, Inuyasha is sleeping in my bed so can I sleep in here?" Naraku asked him as he got on the bed and under the covers without waiting for an answer.

Sesshoumaru was at a loss for words.

Naraku turned his back on Sesshoumaru and went to sleep. Sesshoumaru turned the light off and set the alarm for tomorrow.

++++

The next morning, Sesshoumaru exhaustedly staggered into the bathroom. He didn't sleep well last night. Naraku was still asleep when Sesshoumaru came out the bathroom; dressed.
When Sesshoumaru walked out the room and to the kitchen, Bankotsu was already downstairs eating breakfast. "Morning." Bankotsu said to him.
“Morning." Sesshoumaru said as he sat down at the table.
"Ok don’t forget my friends are coming over this afternoon." he reminded him.
"I won’t." he told Bankotsu as he walked out of the door for school.

++++

Sesshomaru and Naraku left the office and got back into the car. "Do you want to get something for dinner on the way home or just order pizza when we get home?" Sesshomaru asked him. “Order out." Naraku responded.

++++

Bankotsu was walking into the house with his guests as Sesshomaru and Naraku pulled into the drive way. "Naraku, I would like for you to give your brother and his friends some privacy." Sesshomaru told him. Naraku sighed.
"I'll be in the study studying." Naraku said and got out of the car. Naraku walked into the house and pass
Once he had entered Sesshoumaru’s study, he sat down.


Hiten and Kikyou watched as Sesshoumaru came in the house. “Hey Mr. Taisho.” Hiten said to him.
“Hiten Toga, Kikyou Kazumi.” Sesshoumaru said their names blandly in a sort of greeting. “I’ll be in the study, try not to bother the workers too much.” Sesshoumaru continued as he walked past them on his way to his study.

++++


Naraku did his math problems and gave them to his father for grading. “Good you’re improving.” Sesshoumaru complimented.
“I know.” Naraku said.
“Pizza’s here.” Bankotsu said. Naraku ran out the room and took the box from his brother.
“He’s short.” Hiten said.
Naraku narrowed his eyes at Hiten. “Yeah well my daddy can beat you up.” Naraku told him as he took the whole pizza back into the study without giving Bankotsu any and slamming the study door behind him.
"No arguments there." Hiten said as he remembered what Sesshomaru looked like.

"Come on, I'll have the maid fix us something." Bankotsu told Hiten and Kikyou as he walked around the house to find the maid.
Naraku placed the pizza box on the desk. "Took it long enough." Sesshomaru said as he opened the box and grabbed a slice and handed it to Naraku.
"Is there a way to make me taller?" Naraku asked him.
"Vegetables," Sesshomaru replied as he grabbed himself a slice.
"Eww," came the typical 11 year old response.
“Why are you concerned about your height all of a sudden?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
"No reason." Naraku said.
“Someone making fun of your size," Sesshoumaru asked a similar question.
"Hiten said I was short." Naraku told him.
"Ah well don't worry about him.” Sesshoumaru said as he stood up. "I'll be back I'm getting us something to drink." Sesshoumaru told him.

++++

Sesshoumaru walked to the kitchen to see Hiten, Kikyou and Bankotsu eating. "So Hiten making fun of my son's height?" Sesshoumaru asked him.
“Sir I was just joking honest." Hiten said. Kikyou laughed.
"I think Naraku is cute." she said.

"You Kikyou are forbidden to think any such thoughts about my youngest." Sesshomaru told her.
"You see that he left out me." Bankotsu said to her as he put his arm around her.
"What did I tell you about touching me?" Kikyou asked him as she looked at him.
“Not too." Bankotsu said as he removed his arm. Sesshomaru got their drinks and walked back to his study.
"Your father is so hot." Kikyou said to Bankotsu.
"Stay the hell away from him." Bankotsu barked.


"Oh Bank you don't want me for a step mom." Kikyou teased.
"No." Bankotsu said to her in all seriousness.
"Hey let’s go in the game room." Bankotsu said to them as a change of subject. The three teens went into the game room.

"Naraku do me a favor and give this to your brother." Sesshoumaru said to him. Naraku looked at the phone and walked out the room.

Naraku found his brother in the game room.
"Bankotsu, dad said to give you this." Naraku said as he handed him the cell phone.
"Aww you're so cute." Kikyou gushed as she hugged Naraku.
"Let me go." Naraku yelled and ran out the room back to the safety off the study.
"That girl hugged me." Naraku said in disgust as he took another slice of pizza

"Kikyou hugged you?" Sesshoumaru asked him, his voice laced with anger.
Naraku nodded his head, not really caring that his father was now upset with the girl. "I'll be back." Sesshomaru said and walked out of the study.

Sesshomaru walked into the game room and over to Kikyou. Bankotsu looked at Sesshomaru.
"Remove yourself from this property before I have you arrested for sexual harassment." Sesshomaru told her.
“I didn’t harass anyone." Kikyou told him.
"You touched my son." Sesshomaru hissed.
"The hug? Oh please, Bankotsu and I do way more then that." Kikyou told him.
