The Wars we Fight

by aclosetnerd

Summary:

A spider is never satisfied with one prey, so when Naraku involves Sesshomaru in his schemes, consequences are dire. The Inuyoukai interferes but unintentionally saves Inuyasha from being pinned to the Goshinboku. Instead of the hanyou, Sesshomaru is pinned to the Sacred Tree and is bound by Kikyou's curse, to await the person who will free him from his 50 year sleep. Thus, fate weaves a different destiny and a new story unfolds.

Notes:

Hi again, so this will be my attempt to maintain a long written fanfiction? Wish me luck! Anyways this story is also available in Fanfiction.net linked via my profile. Also, this story is another submission to Sesskag Week 2015.

Chapter 1: A Spider's Bite

Image belongs from Sesskag Tumblr

Naraku is a natural born opportunist. He does not simply move at whim, but makes careful considerations on the benefits or consequences of his actions. Much like a spider that chooses not to immediately devour its prey. The spider enjoys toying with it first; constantly mocking his victims by dangling the possibilities of both death and escape.

Naraku smiles at the thought and recalls observing the hunt of the black widow: she releases her prey and just when the creature feels the most secure of freedom, she attacks it suddenly with a quick painful bite.

Sitting at the foot of a tree, wearing an inconspicuous pelt of baboon, he anticipates to play as well.
