As the sun began to peer over the skyline, Inuyasha looked down on the little fox kit buried in his arms. Shippo looked so peaceful and although Inuyasha was eager to start whipping Shippo into respectable shape, he was extremely reluctant to wake the boy. The fact that Shippo could sleep so soundly only because of Inuyasha’s own presence stirred up strange emotions within him. It was wonderful and yet….frightening and painful. It served to remind him of his own helplessness and abandonment. Not to mention….a few other fears. “What if he changes his mind and runs back to Kagome?” Inuyasha thought.
“I don’t think that will happen honestly, he seemed to be quite sincere.” The voice responded. “Just refrain from totally kicking his ass right from the get go, ease him into it so to speak.”
Still it was unnerving to think that he could open up, take the child in, declare him to be his own and then have his ‘son’ abandon him. The very thought made Inuyasha’s heart ache. As a matter of fact all this was bringing a single clear realization into focus.
He was tired, tired of all the fighting, the blood and death. A demon’s life was sure to be filled with the occasional conflict, hell wars could even break out, but ever since he was a small child it had never stopped. The only break he’d ever truly gotten was when he spent those fifty years pinned to a tree, and that hadn’t exactly been restful. Had he ever truly been able to relax? To have some small measure of calm. His heart was fairly made up “After Naraku’s death. Home. A real home….” Inuyasha thought. A good mate would be fan-fucking-tastic as well…and maybe one or two……
Keeping his eye’s on Shippo Inuyasha couldn’t help but wonder what his own pups would look like.
Pups.
The word made Inuyasha feel strange…..a feeling he couldn’t quite label just yet.
“I guess it would depend on my mate.” Inuyasha thought.
Mate.
How could one little word cause him to ache so?
“And it’s not like people are lining up to be my mate. Fuck I could very well die without one; you’d think my body would know that by now. Stupid hanyo….” Inuyasha growled.
“Don’t be that way, there are plenty of potential mates out there.” the voice whispered. For a hanyo though? Inuyasha held no illusions about the cruelty of life. Hanyo’s were hated, by both humans and demons, history had shown him that.
Shippo stirred in Inuyasha’s arms, yawning softly the kit rolled over, blinking he looked up at Inuyasha. “Mmmm….morning.” Shippo mumbled.
“Good morning kid.” Inuyasha replied. Slowly Shippo burrowed himself deeper into Inuyasha’s arms.
“You’re so…warm.”
Inuyasha smiled.
“Yeah thanks Shippo, I try.”
“You know…speaking of warm….” the voice started.
“I swear if you say anything about what happened with Sesshomaru I’ll find a way to hurt you.” Inuyasha mentally snapped.
“Geez….we lose our virginity and your still this crabby?” the voice shot back. Before Inuyasha could retort he was distracted by a tugging on his shirt.
“Father….I….I don’t want to be a bother…but….what are we…going to have for breakfast?” Shippo tentatively asked. The innocence of the question drowns the anger that had been building within Inuyasha. Shippo was obviously a bit afraid of him…..and that hurt. To be addressed as father was also going to take some getting used to as well.
“First off Shippo…relax, I’m not going to get mad at you over being hungry, and to answer your question…well I guess I’m going hunting.” Inuyasha said. Shippo’s eye’s widened slightly and Inuyasha chuckled. “Oh yeah that’s right, FRESH meat….been a while since that’s been in your belly huh?”
“Y-yes….” Shippo said. “Kagome’s food is good and all but…not really satisfying, but I was always told that you should always be grateful for any food. Because it’s better then none.” Man wasn’t that the truth…having starved on more then one occasion Inuyasha had to approve of that mindset.
“Indeed….so lets get you all situated so I can hunt.” Inuyasha said leaping down. “Half of the food says Kagome bitches if she sees us.”
“You know…..Miroku has been really, really worried about you.” Shippo said, still curled in Inuyasha’s arms. Huh? The monk? Worried?
“Oh? He pissed he didn’t get to suck me up?” Inuyasha spat.
“Well I don’t know all the details but I know it was his idea to come looking for you, and he is the one who talked Koga into helping. Not to mention things have been tense between him and Kagome recently.” Shippo replied. How interesting….
Sauntering into the small clearing where his former rag-tag pack had made camp Inuyasha suppressed the urge to shock them into waking. Although it would be amusing to watch them flail about until there sense’s focused, it ultimately wasn’t worth the trouble. After all he did have better things to do with his time.
“Have a seat here kid, relax a bit while I hunt.” Inuyasha said, placing Shippo on the ground.
“Alright.” Shippo replied. “Hurry back.” Inuyasha smirked before leaping off into the forest.
Shippo rubbed his belly slowly, saliva slowly pooling in his mouth. Ohhhh fresh meat. Oh boy….oh man he just couldn’t wait. It had been sooooooo long since he’d sunk his teeth into a fresh kill. Slowly he began to pace, unable to contain his excitement, his base instincts slathering at the prospect. So engrossed in his thoughts Shippo never noticed Miroku.
Or his face.
Or the fact that he walked up Miroku’s head, across his face, over his chest, before crunching a nice portion of said monk’s male parts.
Needless to say said monk did not remain sleeping.
Groaning in pain Miroku sat up, rubbing his face and clutching his injured manhood. With one eye he spotted the kitsune culprit. “You know Shippo….there are easier ways to wake people.” Miroku mumbled. Looking over a Miroku Shippo blushed, rubbing his head in embarrassment a sheepish grin broke out over his face.
“S-sorry Miroku…I guess I wasn’t paying attention.” Shippo replied.
“Yeah…I would hope that wasn’t on purpose. Especially after all those times I defended you from Inuyasha head thwaps.” Miroku said. Wait…..if Shippo was up and moving around that means Inuyasha should….
Crawling over to the fox kit Miroku looked him right in the eyes. “Where is Inuyasha?! He didn’t leave again did he?” Miroku spat out. He so did not want to have to go searching for the hanyo again.
“N-no….he’s out…hunting for our breakfast.” Shippo stammered his eyes wide.
“Crap…I didn’t mean to scare him.” Miroku thought, gently he patted the child’s head. “Sorry if I spooked you, I just…..really wish to speak with him.” Shippo nodded.
“Yeah I told him about that, he should be back soon.” Shippo said. “I mean…it shouldn’t….I’m not sure how fast a hunter he is.” Suddenly Shippo tackled Miroku, with two handfuls of his shirt Shippo pulled them face to face. “Fresh meat Miroku! Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve eaten that! OhmanIcan’tevenwaittosinkmyteethintoit!” Shippo shot out. Miroku chuckled lightly.
“Shippo we’ve had fresh meat before, over an open fire if I’m not mistaken with that….barbecue stuff from Kagome’s time, only a few weeks ago.” Shippo shook his head so furiously Miroku was surprised his neck didn’t break.
“Nonononono! Not like that! Fresh meat.” Shippo exclaimed. Miroku felt rather confused, what they had before had only been brought down by Inuyasha himself a few hours prior to the cooking…what could be fresher then that? Shaking it off Miroku asked.
“Well then…how about some fresh water to go with that fresh meat?” Miroku suggested.
With a startled shout Miroku jumped back as a very large and obviously very dead buck crashed down in front of him, a second later a good sized pail of water was gently placed next to it by a milky white clawed hand. Looking up Miroku shouted. “Damnit Inuyasha! You scared me half to death! Make some noise next time would you please?”
A grumbling ‘Hnn’ was Inuyasha’s only reply, Miroku watched as Inuyasha sat himself down next to the large animal.
“And now for breakfast.” Inuyasha said as he began cutting strips of meat out of the buck with his claws. Miroku was confused; they hadn’t even gathered any firewood yet. Surely they weren’t going to eat it….
“Hey kit here.” Inuyasha said handing Shippo a few strips of the meat. “Dig in.”
…..raw..
Miroku watched in rapt fascination as Shippo began to gnaw on the bloody meat. Within the first few bites Shippo’s eyes rolled back into his head as he let out a pleasure fill moan. Inuyasha let out a chuckle as he began to begin to eat.
“Been that long eh Shippo?” Inuyasha asked. Shippo nodded rapidly, taking another bite. Chomping powerfully the little fox looked at Miroku.
“See THIS is fresh!” Shippo exclaimed.
“I….I see.” Miroku mumbled. Looking over at Inuyasha Miroku couldn’t help but ask. “You’re really not going to cook it? Aren’t you afraid of getting sick?” Inuyasha smiled slightly, taking another bite of his own meat.
“Miroku….we are demons, demon’s don’t have to worry about the same things you humans do. Yes I’ve enjoyed cooked and seasoned meat, and you know I’d love to have some side dishes right now, but the fact is there isn’t anything better for a demon then fresh meat from a fresh kill.” Inuyasha answered.
“Oh….I didn’t…know that.” Miroku replied. A wicked grin spread over Inuyasha’s face.
“Oh yes, nothing like the taste of a fresh kill…meats still warm, blood is still hot.” Inuyasha purred. “So you wanted to talk right? Then talk monk.” Miroku’s brain quickly jump started.
“I simply wanted to make it clear that I had no intention nor would I ever have the intention of trying to use my wind tunnel upon you.” Miroku said. Inuyasha leveled a flat stare on Miroku.
“Oh really? Could have fooled me.” Inuyasha spat coolly.
“Its….a bit of a nervous tick I’ve devolved….Inuyasha please….you must understand I would never……” Miroku started, sighing he looked Inuyasha straight in the eye’s. “I’ve seen you touch your sword when you are nervous….I’m no different.” Inuyasha continued to look at Miroku, eyes unblinking.
“And if I would have snapped Kagome’s neck?” Inuyasha asked. Miroku scoffed.
“You would never do something like that.”
“Really?” Inuyasha whispered. Inuyasha couldn’t be serious; he would never have actually killed Kagome….
“You wouldn’t have done it….would you?” Miroku asked. Inuyasha sighed.
“I wanted that collar off Miroku….I’m not a slave….she…..you can’t imagine how I feel.” Inuyasha said.
“I…see.” Miroku said. “Well…either way its in the past….by the way might I ask why your wearing what appears to be Sesshomaru’s coat and armor?” Inuyasha blushed, his pale cheeks turning rosy.
“Uh…..um….we sort of got into a fight…my top half was torn up. I had to make due with what was left.” Inuyasha answered.
“I…uh thought your fire-rat robes repaired themselves? Something to do with your…demonic energy or something?” Miroku asked.
“Um….normally yes….but I couldn’t find them….and…..well I wasn’t in a position to be wandering around.” Inuyasha replied, turning an even brighter shade of red then Miroku ever thought possible. Taking another bite of meat Inuyasha changed the subject. “I don’t…..trust easily Miroku…and this whole thing has….really shaken me.” Miroku felt compelled to look away, it was rare for Inuyasha to open up period, for him to actually admit he was having trouble truly said something.
“I stand with you my friend….you can count on me….I’ll prove that somehow.” Miroku said. Inuyasha looked over at Miroku, a small smile playing at his lips.
“Thank you.” Inuyasha said. Looking down at the carcass Miroku was surprised to see how large of a chunk Inuyasha had already eaten.
“Hungry there Inuyasha?” Miroku chuckled. Inuyasha actually scowled.
“Yes actually, you people always keep me from eating my fill, and it’s my kill and I’ll eat as much as I fucking want. Got that?” Inuyasha snapped. Miroku jerked back slightly from the sheer acid in Inuyasha’s tone.
“No…no need to get upset…”Miroku said. Inuyasha sighed.
“I know…I know…I’m just a little testy about that…I’ve spent over a century being hungry Miroku.” Inuyasha whispered.
“Even with us? Why didn’t you ask for more?” Miroku asked.
“How many times has Kagome called me a selfish pig? None of you seemed to understand my needs, and no one ever listens when I voice them. So I just ignored it.” Inuyasha answered. If that was true then Miroku felt horrible….to think that his friend couldn’t even fill up his stomach and yet had to battle with all his might so often.
“I’m sorry.” Miroku said. He felt so ashamed. Inuyasha huffed slightly.
“It’s not your fault….don’t worry about it ok?” Inuyasha said. There conversation was interrupted by Shippo popping up in-between them.
“Aw man….burp….I am so stuffed.” Shippo groaned, patting his belly as he made his way over to the pail of water, before dipping his head down near the water. Shippo’s tongue shot out lapping up the water. Shippo let out another burp as he pulled his head up, Inuyasha chuckling at the kits actions, wiping at his mouth Shippo looked back at the carcass. “Maybe….one more piece.” Shippo mumbled. Grinning Inuyasha looked over at Miroku before slicing off another piece before tossing it to Shippo. Catching the piece of meat Shippo dug his teeth into it with glee. Miroku couldn’t help but laugh at the child sheer excitement over something so simple.
Suddenly a shriek tore through the air “Shippo what are you doing!!” Kagome’s voice rang out as the Miko came rushing up swatting the remnants on the deer out of Shippo’s hand. Wide eye’s the fox kit stumbled back in the face of Kagome. “What’s wrong with you?! Do you want to get sick!” Kagome raged.
In a split second Inuyasha was in front of her, his fangs bared, snarling. “Don’t you ever touch him.” Inuyasha growled.
“You moron! Do you have any idea how many bacteria are in raw meat! Are you that lazy that you can’t even take the time to build a fire!?” Kagome shouted.
“You’re calling me a moron!? We are demons you stupid bitch! We don’t get sick! Fresh meat is one of the best things for young demons to grow on. You don’t know shit about us and now your gonna tell me what do!” Inuyasha roared back.
“Your out of your-” Kagome started.
“He’s my son! DON’T tell me how to feed him!” Inuyasha belted out, before tuning and scoping the kit up. “Now Shippo are you still hungry?” Inuyasha asked, ignoring the fuming girl from the future.
“No…I’m….I’m actually pretty full.” Shippo answered meekly.
“Food poisoning, salmonella, you obviously don’t understand just how bad raw meat is for a person.” Kagome fumed, either unwilling or unable to understand Inuyasha’s words.
“For a person perhaps, but Shippo is a demon.” Inuyasha snapped. Walking back over to Miroku he set Shippo down at the monk’s feet. “Oi Miroku, watch Shippo for me for a bit would you?” Inuyasha asked.
“Sure…” Miroku said, slightly confused “I can do that.” Inuyasha nodded.
“Good I’m counting on you” Inuyasha replied. Bending down he addressed Shippo face to face. “Ok kit, now I want you to stay here, no wandering off. Just relax and let your body digest alright. Stretch your body out a bit but don’t be exerting yourself much. I have a little training exercise for you. Understand?” Shippo clenched his fists, with a determined look on his face the fox answered.
“Yes!” Inuyasha smiled.
“Good I’ll be back in a few, if your thirsty drink, if you have to relieve yourself do so, other then that stay put. Oh and none of that candy crap either.” Inuyasha ordered as he bounded off into the forest.
“Stubborn jerk…what does he know about anything?” Kagome huffed. Out of the corner of his eye Miroku could see Koga walking into the clearing.
“Actually Kagome he’s right, fresh meat is actually better for a demon’s body then cooked, especially when they are young. As a matter of fact the only time I ever eat cooked food is around you.” Koga said as he made his way over to Miroku. “Baby sitting for the moment monk?” Koga asked. Miroku nodded, but apparently Shippo didn’t appreciate the baby comment.
“Hey! I’m no baby!” Shippo shouted.
“Oh indeed you are a mighty grown fox.” Miroku joked, Shippo snorted in a very Inuyasha like manner before beginning to begin to stretch his little muscles out. Miroku was about to comment on the young kit’s antics when he noticed Koga looking at him funny…..again.
“Koga.” Miroku muttered.
“Hmm?” The wolf prince grunted.
“Why are you staring at me?” Miroku asked. Though much to his annoyance Koga seemed intent to pursuing his own agenda.
“You know….I think you’d look a lot better if you’d let your hair grow out a tad.” Koga said. Huh? Where did that come from?
“I….what?” Miroku sputtered. Koga moved in closer, his right hand reaching out as his fingers slid though Miroku’s hair.
“You have such nice soft hair, and I think it would look very nice splayed across your shoulders.” Koga whispered. To be honest Miroku was a tad freaked out, Koga had been acting weird for days now, always watching him, commenting on his movements, looks and even mannerisms. Miroku didn’t know how to take it all. Even when the wolf was behind him Miroku could swear that he could feel Koga’s eyes upon him.
“And just where…did this come from?” Miroku asked. Koga shrugged.
“Just tossing a few ideas out for you that’s all.” Koga answered. Miroku mentally sighed, just what was going on with the wolf prince? And why did it have to have something to do with him?
Inuyasha sighed to himself as he made his way back to Shippo, he really didn’t feel like putting up with Kagome, and something just told him she had a bitching just waiting. Not that he had to listen to it anymore not now that he was free of her stupid rosary. He had saw red when she has smacked Shippo’s breakfast out of his tiny hands, what right did she have to do such a thing?! The only thing that kept him from putting her in her place once again was that he didn’t want hurt the girl, and definitely not in front of Shippo, after all the fox had considered the girl to be his mother at one time and probably still did. Honestly he didn’t feel that Kagome was worth his time anymore, he hadn’t heard shit from Sango, but he had to admit it was nice to make up with Miroku.
“The monk does seem to be trustworthy.” The voice rang out. Indeed, how odd that the one of the group who was technically the smoothest with deception and trickery seemed to be the one he could actually count on. Spotting the kid and the monk in the clearing Inuyasha smirked to himself.
“Well now let’s see what the kid can do.” Inuyasha thought. As the others eyes tuned in on him Inuyasha walked over to a large tree, using both hands he proceeded to rend a large X into the wood. Taking a step back to admire his handiwork he hummed to himself. “Yeah that ought to work.” Inuyasha thought before turning and heading towards Shippo and…Miroku who seemed to be….shying away from Koga.
As always just as he neared the group Kagome opened her mouth.
“Inuyasha we need to tal-” Kagome started before Inuyasha held up a hand to silence her. Looking down at his young charge Inuyasha was pleased to note the determined look on the kits face.
“Well kid this one’s going to be tough, so I certainly hope you’re ready.” Inuyasha said before tossing a small ball of plant material tied with vines to Shippo, the young fox carefully sniffed at the ball in his hands, before immediately recoiling in disgust.
“Oh god! That is rank!” Shippo spat. Inuyasha merely grinned.
“Distinctive yes? So think you could find something that smelled just like that?” Inuyasha asked.
“Be pretty hard not to….god that is like the worst thing I’ve ever smelled.” Shippo answered. Inuyasha suddenly got serious.
“Good, because that’s just what your going to do. Here’s the deal kid, in the forest behind me I’ve hidden something that smells just like that does, and guess what? You’re going to find it. And you’re on your own till you do.” Inuyasha said. Shippo’s jaw dropped. “Now before you panic too much about how hard that’s going to be, notice that large X I ripped into that tree?” Shippo nodded. “Good because there are dozens of them around the forest, I’ve basically blocked off your search area, so if you see one, don’t go past it ok?” Shippo gulped.
“Totally on my own?” Shippo meeped out. The small child shook slightly. Inuyasha sighed, he really didn’t want give this part away…he really wanted to gauge where Shippo stood at his very best…but..
“No…I’ll be watching, but you wont see me, and I don’t intend to get involved in the slightest unless your life is on the line go that?” Inuyasha said.
“I….I understand.” Shippo replied. Inuyasha crossed his arms looking down on the fox.
“Good, so then take a minute to gather anything you think your going to need, and then get going, the sooner you find it the sooner you can come back.” Inuyasha said.
Inuyasha watched as Shippo hurried about with a little pack he seemed to have found somewhere, to be honest it looked like something from Kagome’s time but Inuyasha felt that he could let that slide. Kagome herself had pitched quite a fit over his training idea, but now that she couldn’t plow him into the earth he was finding her much easier to ignore.
“Inuyasha, this seems a little harsh.” Miroku suddenly said. Inuyasha just looked at him.
“It’s not that bad. This is a good test to see where he stands. How well he can track, how he can fight, what he knows about survival, and I’ll be watching the whole time.” Inuyasha replied. Just as Shippo was about to enter the woods Inuyasha felt compelled to say something, the kid looked way to pensive. “Oi Shippo! Be strong and show me what you can do!” Inuyasha shouted.
“Yes!” Shippo shouted back, his fists in the air, a big grin on his face as he darted into the woods. Waiting a few minutes to give the fox a head start Inuyasha leaped up into the air, intent on watching Shippo from the tree tops. Inuyasha grinned, if nothing else this would be interesting to watch.
As night began to fall Inuyasha situated himself upon a large tree branch, down below him sat Shippo, the kit was getting a drink from a small stream. Not a bad first day, Inuyasha honestly hadn’t expected him to succeed very quickly, though the fox had been absolutely clueless about how to start for the first several hours he did seem to be getting the hang of it but it was obvious the child knew very little about tracking.
“Well that’s what this whole thing is for….to see what he can do.” Inuyasha thought as he watched Shippo begin to make a small bed for himself.
“He’s not really going to sleep on the ground is he?” the voice asked. Yeah that would be bad….generally if you were small and easy to eat, you didn’t want to be down low. That was a lesson Inuyasha himself had learned a long time ago, which was part of the reason he had taken to sleeping in tree’s.
“I think he is.” Inuyasha muttered
“You going to say anything?” the voice asked.
“No….I’m not going to interfere at all, unless he is in serious trouble.” Inuyasha answered. Inuyasha watched as the kit continued with his activities, but suddenly Shippo stopped.
“I wonder why Inuyasha always sleeps in a tree?” the kit mumbled. “He’s got to have a reason….” Inuyasha had to stop himself from laughing began to bitch about having to do this one his own. It was funny, but Inuyasha did feel a moment of pride when Shippo abandoned his forest floor bed and began scrambling up a nearby tree and let out a tiny snort as Shippo began to make himself comfortable complete with little snips of “Stupid bark” and something about getting splinters in his butt.
Inuyasha continued to watch until Shippo had fallen asleep, confident the kid was safe for the moment Inuyasha turned his attention inward. He still couldn’t figure out what had happened with Sesshomaru….and what they had done. But before he could get too far into his thoughts his attention was drawn to a strange tingling feeling on his chest. Pulling his ex-Sesshomaru shirt open Inuyasha noticed for the very first time a strange mark on him. “What the hell?” he muttered peering down upon it, it must have come from Sesshomaru, but how? He’d never been left with a scar before. The bastard must have used some kind of poison on him. But that didn’t make any sense either, after all, the prick had shoved his whole hand through Inuyasha’s abdomen before and although it had hurt like hell it hadn’t left a mark.
Upon closer inspection Inuyasha noticed the mark did not look like a normal claw mark, in fact it looked as if he had gained one of those human tattoo things, five crescent moons adorned the spot right above his heart in a tiny semi circle, and each moon was intertwined and interconnected by what appeared to be delicate thorny vines. Seriously what could Sesshomaru possibly have done to leave something like that on him? Did the bastard have ink in his claws as well as poison? Gently Inuyasha traced his fingers along the mark, and was unprepared for the burst of warmth that spread though him, gritting his teeth against the feeling Inuyasha could swear he could suddenly smell Sesshomaru as if the Ice prince was right next to him, a flash of irritation blew though Inuyasha, one that felt very much like Sesshomaru himself, sucking in a sharp breath Inuyasha could practically taste his brother on his tongue. He pressed his fingers into the mark harder, the warmth spreading through him, why did it feel like Sesshomaru was right there? Inside of him in fact. Claws still tracing along the mark Inuyasha felt extremely confused “Sesshomaru?” he thought.
If Sesshomaru had to rank today on the list of all time bad days, he could say without fear of rebuttal that it ranked right up near the top. He honestly didn’t know what was worse, the fact his body could still feel Inuyasha’s actions, or the fact that his youki felt obliged to continue to tease him about it. How in the hell did it happen? How could this Sesshomaru, have been…mounted by his disgusting half breed brother? How could he have been…..have been…
“Fucked? By that very same hanyo?” His youki giggled. Sesshomaru snarled to himself, if the constant reminders had not been bad enough his youki seemed to be rather amused by sending flashes of memories of that act though him.
It was most aggravating.
So to that end Sesshomaru had through him into his work, the first order of business had been a thorough investigation into the events concerning his young ward, and the bitch of the south Nefrume. A questioning of the guards had turned up nothing, something that displeased Sesshomaru greatly, that coupled with the events with Inuyasha had forced him to express his displeasure with the demons charged with keeping intruders out of his home.
It had not been pleasant. But they would live.
A careful examination of the outer wall had unveiled her route into the castle, the fact that she had simply scaled the wall without drawing anyone’s attention had as Inuyasha would have put it ‘pissed him right the fuck off’
“See now your starting to think of him more, how cute” His youki giggled.
“Shut…..up” Sesshomaru mentally snapped. To that end he had increased both the patrols along the wall in both numbers and frequency and had made it clear that failure would be punished accordingly. He had also felt the need to assign two guards to accompany Rin at all times. All the trouble over Nefrume, doubled by the work he already had to perform as the Lord of the west had made for a very tiring day.
One that Sesshomaru could not wait to end.
As he begin to walk down the hall that lead to his private chambers he reached up to massage the stiff muscles of his neck, inadvertently rubbing the mark Inuyasha had placed upon him. Growling at the tingling warmth that slid though him Sesshomaru tore open his chamber door before slamming it shut and locking it tight.
“Stupid mark….stupid youki….stupid Inuyasha!” Sesshomaru snapped as he flung himself upon his upon his bed. Willing sleep to come over him Sesshomaru buried himself within his furs and bed covers.
What a troublesome day.
“Sesshomaru?” Inuyasha’s voice nipped at his brain as crimson eyes opened and youki-Sesshomaru sat up.
“Inuyasha?” Sesshomaru whispered, his hands playing at his mark. He could feel the pull of the one who had marked him….even still this was very odd….
It was not unusual for one mate to call out to another….but was Inuyasha actually calling out to him? Sesshomaru grinned “Well…only one way to find out.” Sesshomaru was only glad his other half had gone to sleep before Inuyasha had called out to him. “Who knows what that brat would have done.” Youki-Sesshomaru muttered as he launched himself out of his chamber window and into the sky.
“Wait just a few minutes more Inuyasha, for this Sesshomaru is coming for you.”
Inuyasha was pissed, not only did his brother scent seem to want to linger inside of his nose and mouth, but all that warmth that had rushed though him had seemed to all setting in one place. Inuyasha growled at his now hard, throbbing member. What the fuck was going on? And since when did touching a mark on his chest bring out Sesshomaru scent and make him horny as hell? Scowling at his groin Inuyasha spoke. “You don’t give me any trouble for over two hundred years and NOW all of a sudden you want attention…what the hell dick….where did all of this come from?”
“Might have something to do with the whole losing our virginity situation.” the voice chimed in. Could that be it? Inuyasha had never really touched himself before, there had never been time, with his life being in almost constant danger, and then having his group around him all the time, and it wasn’t like anyone else had ever touched him. Sure the few kisses he had received had made him ache…but never like this. The spat with Sesshomaru had led to his very first orgasm…not only with another person but first ever at all. Inuyasha closed his eyes and tried to ignore the aching need that was welling up within him, demanding attention. Unbidden his hand began to trail down his body, Inuyasha sucked in a sharp breath has his fingers ghosted along the material covering his body, his claws tracing up and down his aching need.
“Don’t ignore yourself…..no one can see….there is no reason not to.” the voice whispered. That was true….now would be the perfect time with Shippo asleep and all. Inuyasha let out a tiny moan as he closed his fingers around clothed flesh, teasing it lightly.
“That’s it….see no harm done.”
Sliding his hand down to his waist Inuyasha slid his pants down just enough to free his aching flesh, he shivered slightly as the night air caressed him teasing him further. “Damn…when did I get so sensitive?” Inuyasha thought, leaning forward he looked over at Shippo, reassured that the kit was asleep Inuyasha leaned back into the tree….the very warm tree….that breaths?
“Mmmmm….is that for me Inuyasha?” A voice whispered into Inuyasha’s ear. Wait…that voice…..
Sesshomaru!?
FUCK!!
Inuyasha surged forward, only to have Sesshomaru’s arm snake around his chest and pulled him back.
“Sesshomaru?! What are you doing?” Inuyasha hissed, damn it, it just figured the one time he tried to take some time to himself and didn’t pay attention……shit….. “This is EXACTLY WHY I DON’T DO THINGS LIKE THIS!” Inuyasha mentally roared.
“Well how was I supposed to know he’d show up!?” the voice shot back.
“You called me Inuyasha…” Sesshomaru whispered again, his hot breath sliding around Inuyasha’s ear…an ear that suddenly seemed very sensitive. Inuyasha didn’t know whether to be enraged, terrified or embarrassed, he was caught with his pants down….literally!
“I didn’t call you…I wasn’t doing anything! What’s wrong with you…and what the hell did you do to me? What is this mark on my chest?!” Inuyasha snapped, trying to keep his voice down, the last thing he wanted to needed was for Shippo to wake up and see this.
“Oh but you did. Mark?….oh you mean this mark?” Sesshomaru purred as his hand slid inside Inuyasha’s top, his long elegant fingers playing along the mark. Inuyasha’s eye’s closed at the feeling, warmth even greater then before spread though him, his body relaxing despite his attempts to gather his strength. “That’s it….just relax little brother, I swear I’m not here to hurt you.”
“What’s…going on with you…….you never……” Inuyasha gasped as Sesshomaru’s mouth began to trail down his neck, biting and sucking at the flesh there. “Your not….Sesshomaru….this is some kind of trick.”
“Oh but I am Sesshomaru….just not the one your used to dealing with. But you’ve met me before…do you not remember? Do you not remember being inside me?” Sesshomaru said as he licked a long wicked line down Inuyasha’s throat, his lips sealing against the flesh as he nipped lightly. Inuyasha tensed, almost waiting for Sesshomaru to tear his throat out. But even though part of his mind worried for his life, another part flashed with images of their previous joining. What the hell was going on?!
Sesshomaru finger’s danced across Inuyasha’s skin slipping over one nipple, Inuyasha let out a shuttering soft moan as Sesshomaru thumb began tracing circles over the hardened nub of flesh.
“Sesshomaru….tell me…what…..ugh…” Inuyasha sputtered.
“Shhh…don’t talk…just feel.” Sesshomaru muttered as he switched to the other side of Inuyasha’s neck, attacking the flesh there. Inuyasha couldn’t help but flush with embarrassment as his body hardened even further from Sesshomaru’s actions. A gasp tore out from Inuyasha’s mouth as Sesshomaru both bit down upon his neck gave his nipple a sharp squeeze at the same time.
“I have…I have to get away….ugh…I…unnn….”Inuyasha thought as he tried to tighten his muscles to leap once more, only to have Sesshomaru’s fingers brush against the mark, why did his body do that every time Sesshomaru touched that stupid thing.
“Relax Inuyasha…please….” Sesshomaru whispered, his voice soft.
“Sesshomaru….I…” Inuyasha’s voice was cut off again as Sesshomaru continued to attack his neck and nipples at the same time, that wicked tongue and elegant deadly fingers darting across his flesh. Inuyasha let out a long low moan, gods his body was aching…he didn’t know how much more he could take, how could he possibly get so hard?
With an audible pop Sesshomaru released Inuyasha’s neck, rising back up level with Inuyasha’s ears.
“Mmmm…..these seemed sensitive earlier” Sesshomaru whispered as his tongue flicked out, teasing along the edges of Inuyasha’s right ear.
“Ohhhh” Inuyasha groaned.
“Ooooh that’s a nice sound.” Sesshomaru chucked taking more of Inuyasha’s ear into his mouth, sucking on it gently.
“Nghhh….Sesshomaru….s-s-stop….I cant…..I cant take…..stop…just stop…” Inuyasha gasped, he couldn’t handle the double assault to both his chest and ears.
“Oh poor boy….why didn’t you say so? I would never ignore your need.” Sesshomaru purred. Inuyasha’s eyes widened as he saw Sesshomaru’s hand playfully walking down his stomach towards his cock. Inuyasha breath caught in his throat as Sesshomaru’s fingers plays upon the taunt, hardened flesh. Was this actually happening? “I didn’t mean to tease you so, say something next time Inuyasha.” Next time?!
“You….actually…ugh….ooh…plan on….” Inuyasha panted, letting out a low whine as Sesshomaru’s fingers closed around his aching member.
“Ohhh….I see….you need release so very badly don’t you? Mmm…so hard little brother. Had I know your need was this great I would have…brought some oil.” Sesshomaru whispered, his hand pumping slightly. Huh?….what did that mean
“Oil?…..why so…ahhh….you could…..burn me or…unnnn…something?” Inuyasha groaned as Sesshomaru squeezed him, manipulating his flesh with long, slow firm strokes.
“Hardly….oil to make….things slick” Sesshomaru replied, voice husky. “Another time perhaps….mmmmm Inuyasha I can feel you throb….you need this so badly don’t you?” Inuyasha didn’t reply, Sesshomaru’s hand was beginning to pick up speed, becoming slippery from Inuyasha’s leaking fluid. Inuyasha body quivered, he could feel Sesshomaru’s hot breath on his right ear. Oh gods we wasn’t going to….
Sesshomaru’s mouth closed over Inuyasha’s right ear as his strokes increased in firmness. Inuyasha began to squirm, his body feeling like it was going to burst.
“Ahhh….Sesshomaru!” Inuyasha moaned.
“Again Inuyasha….say it again.” Sesshomaru panted, totally immersed in Inuyasha’s pleasure.
“Sess….Sess….ho…maru…uhgn& #8230;..please…I….” Inuyasha gasped.
“If there was more room….I think I’d like very much to take you into my mouth, I want to taste you Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru purred, voice dripping with lust. The image in Inuyasha’s mind was powerful enough to bow his back slightly as a low throaty moan spilled into the night’s sky.
“Fuck…Shippo is going to hear this….” Inuyasha whispered. Sesshomaru licked along the outer edge of Inuyasha’s ear.
“You kit is still sleeping peacefully, relax and enjoy Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru replied. Suddenly Sesshomaru tempo picked up speed, forcing Inuyasha breath in, in tight bursts. Inuyasha closed his eyes as his body began to tighten. He was so close….so close. Swallowing hard Inuyasha’s hands shot out clutching at the tree behind him and Sesshomaru, clutching at anything just to anchor himself.
“Yes….that’s right…..let yourself go….Gods Inuyasha you are so beautiful….come…..spill for me…..please…..oooh…don’t fight….just spill….give….” Sesshomaru moaned. The words shot right though Inuyasha as the point of no return was reached, Inuyasha back bowed, his head snapping back as he drew in a shuttering breath, Sesshomaru’s lips came crashing down upon Inuyasha’s, their tongues intertwining as Sesshomaru swallowed Inuyasha’s cries as his seed pumped out of his body. Inuyasha’s hands tore though his hand holds in the tree from the sheer force of his release, he couldn’t think, couldn’t do anything but clutch at the demon lord plundering his mouth and wringing pleasure from his body.
Slowly Inuyasha’s release began to ebb, both Sesshomaru’s hand and mouth became slower and softer, until Inuyasha’s body had not more to give. The kiss became something tender then, something soft. Inuyasha could do nothing but breath and for a brief time enjoy the mouth upon his, the tongue that lapped and curled around his own. Panting for breath Inuyasha broke the kiss, slowly he opened his eyes, Sesshomaru’s breath caressing his face, and met the crimson eyes of Sesshomaru.
Crimson eyes!
In Inuyasha’s mind crimson eyes on Sesshomaru equaled massive poison/acid for saliva dog that wanted to kill him.
On shaky legs Inuyasha pulled away, yanking his pants up as he slide further down the branch away from Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru looked at him with concerned eyes….eyes that seemed to hold…hurt?
“Have…I done something…wrong?” Sesshomaru asked. Inuyasha just stared at him. A person who had done nothing but abuse him, try to take what little possessions he had, try to kill him, and suddenly molest him was now asking if he had done something wrong?
“The last time your eyes….went….like that…..I had to cut off the arm….of a big white…dog trying to eat me.” Inuyasha panted, still trying to recover from his release.
“Oh…that…..no worries then, I told you….I’m not like that Sesshomaru.” Sesshomaru said. What the fuck?! There were two Sesshomaru’s!!? That just wasn’t fair. Inuyasha was about to say something when Sesshomaru lifted his hand up to his lips and began lapping at it. Inuyasha’s jaw dropped.
“What….what are you doing?!” Inuyasha exclaimed.
“Mmmm…tasting you….you got me all sticky. Be a shame to just wipe it off. It’s a precious gift.” Sesshomaru answered. That part made Inuyasha brain hurt…seriously.
“What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?!” Inuyasha snapped. “I mean first we…..we…”
“Fucked? Rutted? Joined? Is that the word your searching for?” Sesshomaru asked. Inuyasha snarled.
“Don’t mock me…..damn you….what’s your aim….gods I hate you! Haven’t you don’t enough to me, is this all some kind of game to you?! That’s it isn’t it? Some plan to hurt me some more, your either just trying to take my sword or kill me, that’s all you ever do!” Inuyasha snapped. Sesshomaru’s shoulders slumped and his eyes were actually filled with….sadness? Regret?
“I…..that’s wasn’t me….that was my other half. I’ve never wanted to hurt you.” Sesshomaru whispered. Inuyasha’s temper flared, after everything he had been though Sesshomaru was pulling this shit?
“What’s your aim Sesshomaru? You’ve never cared about me, you’ve made that damn clear.” Inuyasha spat.
“No….you don’t understand, I’m not that Sesshomaru…I’m what is called his youki.” Sesshomaru said, his voice full of hurt. “Please…I don’t wish to fight, not with you.”
“Youki? What the fuck are you talking about? Isn’t that just another word for demon?” Inuyasha said.
“Don’t you have….a voice deep inside? Something that tries to guide you? Or do you ignore him as I am ignored?” Sesshomaru asked. What? A voice….inside?
“He means me….I’m your youki, he is Sesshomaru’s version of me basically” Inuyasha’s youki said.
“What? That’s what you are? Why didn’t you say something?” Inuyasha thought.
“You didn’t ask….as a voice or your youki its just a title” Inuyasha’s youki replied.
“Inuyasha….you must understand….I tried….I tried so hard to make him take you in….but he wont listen! He has completely shut himself off from me ever since father died. I’ve done everything I can think of to help you.” Sesshomaru said, his tone pleading.
“So you’re a different Sesshomaru huh….well obviously you can take over him so why don’t you?” Inuyasha asked.
“It doesn’t work like that….I can only have control for short amounts of time, just like when yours had taken over. We control your powers, your demonic energy…but we must rest. He is the dominate half of our being, just as you are the dominate of yours.” Sesshomaru explained.
“So your saying you tried?” Inuyasha asked.
“Yes….and I’m still trying….but he is so stubborn…all I have ever wanted is for us to…” Sesshomaru started.
“So you failed then” Inuyasha said. It wasn’t a question, it was a statement, and it tore though Sesshomaru. Yes he had failed…. “Just leave….I want nothing from you…and don’t you do this again.”
“Inuyasha….you…” Sesshomaru whispered.
“Leave.” Inuyasha growled.
“But mate…..I” Sesshomaru pleased, crawling towards Inuyasha reaching out to him.
MATE?!
“What the fuck did you just say?!” Inuyasha snarled, lunging forward catching Sesshomaru around the throat and driving him into the tree “HOW DARE YOU? How dare you call me your mate. That’s so fucked up on SO many different levels.” Sesshomaru didn’t even try to fight, his hand just reached for Inuyasha’s face, his eyes glistening. Inuyasha snapped at the hand that reached for him.
Slowly Sesshomaru reached over, pulling his shirt away from his neck, exposing Inuyasha’s mark.
“Do you see this? You marked me Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru said, before reaching over and pulling Inuyasha’s shirt open. “And that is mine, we have marked each other….that is why I called you mate.” Inuyasha’s blood froze…he couldn’t be mated to the asshole….no way…
“We are mated?” Inuyasha growled. To be honest he did not know much about how a demon claimed his mate….he certainly didn’t think males could, or would mate with each other, he simply had always though his instincts would tell him what to do when the time was right.
Sesshomaru shook his head, or the best he could with Inuyasha hand around his throat.
“No….it is just a mark of possession….a first step so to speak.” Sesshomaru said.
“Can it be overridden? Can I still take another mate?” Inuyasha asked. Sesshomaru looked shock that Inuyasha would even ask such a thing, the pain in his brothers eyes unrepentantly tore through Inuyasha, but he merely pushed it aside….as he had been pushed aside so many times.
“Y-yes….but…it would cause the abandoned mate….great pain.” Sesshomaru answered.
“So if I take a mate it will hurt you? Is that what your saying?” Inuyasha said.
“Yes.”
“Huh…sounds good.” Inuyasha said pulling away from Sesshomaru. “Now leave….I don’t want to see your face.” Slowly Inuyasha stood up on the branch looking down on his brother.
“Inuyasha…..I….don’t do this…please I can help you” Sesshomaru said.
“Your over two hundred years late bastard.” Inuyasha spat. “How dare you put a mark on me, its bad enough everything else you’ve done…now you try to….just leave…”
“Inuyasha….I told you that wasn’t me…..but I truly believe if you only help me we can get him to accept you. I know it!” Sesshomaru pleaded.
Inuyasha placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
“Leave or it will be a fight between us.” Inuyasha growled.
Sesshomaru looked at him for another moment before flinging himself out of the tree and into the sky. Inuyasha watched as Sesshomaru disappeared into the darkness. Slowly he settled himself back down in the tree, intent on trying to get at least a little sleep tonight, when a anguish filled howl ripped though the air, Sesshomaru’s howl. It sliced into Inuyasha’s heart, and he had to bite down with all of his might to keep from answering, tears began to form in Inuyasha’s eyes, pooling up, before falling slowly down his cheeks.
All Inuyasha had ever wanted was his brothers love….
That’s all.
It wasn’t much to ask was it?
“Damn you Sesshomaru…..damn you.”
Ok and we are done with this chapter. I know its been a while since I updated and I apologize for that. I’ve had a lot of personal stuff going on and I’ve been uber busy. So I tried to make this chapter nice and long. I worked reallllly hard on it so I hope you all enjoy it.
Now to the reviewers! I love you guys.
Princess Sin: I think my main issue with that chapter was that I had to struggle to write it. I got stuck dozens of times, so it was broken up into pieces. I never got the full force of it at once. I tried to make a nice emotional moment. I like the idea of Shippo calling out like that, and its parallels to Inuyasha’s childhood.
gen50: I was going to go back to Sesshomaru, but I was so tired I felt it could wait. I like deviling into Inuyasha’s pained past, and I just love abusing Sesshomaru, its always so fun to mess with him for some reason.
petpeeves123: Yup Shippo’s definitely got some lessons to learn.
Nikkie23534: Rooting for Sess eh? Well then stay tuned! I tried really hard with Inuyasha and Shippo’s interaction
Polka dot: Naked Sesshomaru running through the woods eh? I’ll see what I can do, I’m not sure its in his contract but I’ll check.
szaugg laughs: Yes I tried hard not to overdo it, I felt I may have with the third howl but hopefully I didn’t. Ah yes Miroku….haha well I’ve got some ideas for the Monk rest assured. Though with you and your monk story I gotta make sure I give a good one. Looking forward to the next chapter? Well So am I on Uke and the Other side stories, so I hope you like this chapter number 12.
hyperactive pup: I’ve got some stuff in the next chapter that pulled at my heartstrings, and I hope everyone else’s.
LadySess: Koga is up to something, but I’m not going to say yet XD yeah I think Shippo is smart enough to give Inuyasha his due.
ladytokyo: God I love long reviews. Ok here we go. Well I’m not sure I would say Koga is seeing Miroku as a mate….he’s just seeing potential. I like the idea of Inu wearing Sesshomaru’s things, I know a lot of people like the fire-rat clothes, but I kinda want to see Inuyasha in a lords silks you know? Honestly I struggle to write Sango…I just don’t have a good hold on her, that’s why you don’t see her much. I figure out the of group Miroku is more likely to understand Inuyasha’s pain and loneliness due to his own experiences with the wind tunnel. Yes I remember your poem but sadly I have both lost it and been very busy so I couldn’t write anything. As for Inuyasha having more control when his youki took over. No, its not like that, its just that Inuyasha and his youki are more alike then Sesshomaru and his, more in sync so to speak. As for Inuyasha’s fire-rat robes healing….well I didn’t know that, or I forgot, thanks for reminding me, sorry for the oversight.
Tai-san: Glad you enjoyed it. Koga is becoming disenchanted with Kagome due to her attitude, I always got the feeling that he doesn’t really know her, due to never being around much or very long. As for Miroku well he is gaining Koga’s interest in a few ways, but not even Koga had made up his mind about Miroku and where he’s gonna go with it at this time.
PinkyBunny: To be honest I have a hard time writing the girls, and I don’t think I can just make Kagome be a bitch ALL the time. Plus she is from the future, I can hardly see her abandoning it for anyone in the past you know? The changes in Inuyasha’s body are almost done so stay tuned!
95454: Well Koga is up to something so I’m sure you’ll get more soon, but my main focus is on Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
Ok here’s a little hint on the next chapter.
Some questions are answered, Nefrume makes her reappearance and Sesshomaru is taken on trip down memory lane from hell.
Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing. I hope you like this chapter, I’ve been working on it for days!
As the sun began to peer over the skyline, Inuyasha looked down on the little fox kit buried in his arms. Shippo looked so peaceful and although Inuyasha was eager to start whipping Shippo into respectable shape, he was extremely reluctant to wake the boy. The fact that Shippo could sleep so soundly only because of Inuyasha’s own presence stirred up strange emotions within him. It was wonderful and yet….frightening and painful. It served to remind him of his own helplessness and abandonment. Not to mention….a few other fears. “What if he changes his mind and runs back to Kagome?” Inuyasha thought.
“I don’t think that will happen honestly, he seemed to be quite sincere.” The voice responded. “Just refrain from totally kicking his ass right from the get go, ease him into it so to speak.”
Still it was unnerving to think that he could open up, take the child in, declare him to be his own and then have his ‘son’ abandon him. The very thought made Inuyasha’s heart ache. As a matter of fact all this was bringing a single clear realization into focus.
He was tired, tired of all the fighting, the blood and death. A demon’s life was sure to be filled with the occasional conflict, hell wars could even break out, but ever since he was a small child it had never stopped. The only break he’d ever truly gotten was when he spent those fifty years pinned to a tree, and that hadn’t exactly been restful. Had he ever truly been able to relax? To have some small measure of calm. His heart was fairly made up “After Naraku’s death. Home. A real home….” Inuyasha thought. A good mate would be fan-fucking-tastic as well…and maybe one or two……
Keeping his eye’s on Shippo Inuyasha couldn’t help but wonder what his own pups would look like.
Pups.
The word made Inuyasha feel strange…..a feeling he couldn’t quite label just yet.
“I guess it would depend on my mate.” Inuyasha thought.
Mate.
How could one little word cause him to ache so?
“And it’s not like people are lining up to be my mate. Fuck I could very well die without one; you’d think my body would know that by now. Stupid hanyo….” Inuyasha growled.
“Don’t be that way, there are plenty of potential mates out there.” the voice whispered. For a hanyo though? Inuyasha held no illusions about the cruelty of life. Hanyo’s were hated, by both humans and demons, history had shown him that.
Shippo stirred in Inuyasha’s arms, yawning softly the kit rolled over, blinking he looked up at Inuyasha. “Mmmm….morning.” Shippo mumbled.
“Good morning kid.” Inuyasha replied. Slowly Shippo burrowed himself deeper into Inuyasha’s arms.
“You’re so…warm.”
Inuyasha smiled.
“Yeah thanks Shippo, I try.”
“You know…speaking of warm….” the voice started.
“I swear if you say anything about what happened with Sesshomaru I’ll find a way to hurt you.” Inuyasha mentally snapped.
“Geez….we lose our virginity and your still this crabby?” the voice shot back. Before Inuyasha could retort he was distracted by a tugging on his shirt.
“Father….I….I don’t want to be a bother…but….what are we…going to have for breakfast?” Shippo tentatively asked. The innocence of the question drowns the anger that had been building within Inuyasha. Shippo was obviously a bit afraid of him…..and that hurt. To be addressed as father was also going to take some getting used to as well.
“First off Shippo…relax, I’m not going to get mad at you over being hungry, and to answer your question…well I guess I’m going hunting.” Inuyasha said. Shippo’s eye’s widened slightly and Inuyasha chuckled. “Oh yeah that’s right, FRESH meat….been a while since that’s been in your belly huh?”
“Y-yes….” Shippo said. “Kagome’s food is good and all but…not really satisfying, but I was always told that you should always be grateful for any food. Because it’s better then none.” Man wasn’t that the truth…having starved on more then one occasion Inuyasha had to approve of that mindset.
“Indeed….so lets get you all situated so I can hunt.” Inuyasha said leaping down. “Half of the food says Kagome bitches if she sees us.”
“You know…..Miroku has been really, really worried about you.” Shippo said, still curled in Inuyasha’s arms. Huh? The monk? Worried?
“Oh? He pissed he didn’t get to suck me up?” Inuyasha spat.
“Well I don’t know all the details but I know it was his idea to come looking for you, and he is the one who talked Koga into helping. Not to mention things have been tense between him and Kagome recently.” Shippo replied. How interesting….
Sauntering into the small clearing where his former rag-tag pack had made camp Inuyasha suppressed the urge to shock them into waking. Although it would be amusing to watch them flail about until there sense’s focused, it ultimately wasn’t worth the trouble. After all he did have better things to do with his time.
“Have a seat here kid, relax a bit while I hunt.” Inuyasha said, placing Shippo on the ground.
“Alright.” Shippo replied. “Hurry back.” Inuyasha smirked before leaping off into the forest.
Shippo rubbed his belly slowly, saliva slowly pooling in his mouth. Ohhhh fresh meat. Oh boy….oh man he just couldn’t wait. It had been sooooooo long since he’d sunk his teeth into a fresh kill. Slowly he began to pace, unable to contain his excitement, his base instincts slathering at the prospect. So engrossed in his thoughts Shippo never noticed Miroku.
Or his face.
Or the fact that he walked up Miroku’s head, across his face, over his chest, before crunching a nice portion of said monk’s male parts.
Needless to say said monk did not remain sleeping.
Groaning in pain Miroku sat up, rubbing his face and clutching his injured manhood. With one eye he spotted the kitsune culprit. “You know Shippo….there are easier ways to wake people.” Miroku mumbled. Looking over a Miroku Shippo blushed, rubbing his head in embarrassment a sheepish grin broke out over his face.
“S-sorry Miroku…I guess I wasn’t paying attention.” Shippo replied.
“Yeah…I would hope that wasn’t on purpose. Especially after all those times I defended you from Inuyasha head thwaps.” Miroku said. Wait…..if Shippo was up and moving around that means Inuyasha should….
Crawling over to the fox kit Miroku looked him right in the eyes. “Where is Inuyasha?! He didn’t leave again did he?” Miroku spat out. He so did not want to have to go searching for the hanyo again.
“N-no….he’s out…hunting for our breakfast.” Shippo stammered his eyes wide.
“Crap…I didn’t mean to scare him.” Miroku thought, gently he patted the child’s head. “Sorry if I spooked you, I just…..really wish to speak with him.” Shippo nodded.
“Yeah I told him about that, he should be back soon.” Shippo said. “I mean…it shouldn’t….I’m not sure how fast a hunter he is.” Suddenly Shippo tackled Miroku, with two handfuls of his shirt Shippo pulled them face to face. “Fresh meat Miroku! Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve eaten that! OhmanIcan’tevenwaittosinkmyteethintoit!” Shippo shot out. Miroku chuckled lightly.
“Shippo we’ve had fresh meat before, over an open fire if I’m not mistaken with that….barbecue stuff from Kagome’s time, only a few weeks ago.” Shippo shook his head so furiously Miroku was surprised his neck didn’t break.
“Nonononono! Not like that! Fresh meat.” Shippo exclaimed. Miroku felt rather confused, what they had before had only been brought down by Inuyasha himself a few hours prior to the cooking…what could be fresher then that? Shaking it off Miroku asked.
“Well then…how about some fresh water to go with that fresh meat?” Miroku suggested.
With a startled shout Miroku jumped back as a very large and obviously very dead buck crashed down in front of him, a second later a good sized pail of water was gently placed next to it by a milky white clawed hand. Looking up Miroku shouted. “Damnit Inuyasha! You scared me half to death! Make some noise next time would you please?”
A grumbling ‘Hnn’ was Inuyasha’s only reply, Miroku watched as Inuyasha sat himself down next to the large animal.
“And now for breakfast.” Inuyasha said as he began cutting strips of meat out of the buck with his claws. Miroku was confused; they hadn’t even gathered any firewood yet. Surely they weren’t going to eat it….
“Hey kit here.” Inuyasha said handing Shippo a few strips of the meat. “Dig in.”
…..raw..
Miroku watched in rapt fascination as Shippo began to gnaw on the bloody meat. Within the first few bites Shippo’s eyes rolled back into his head as he let out a pleasure fill moan. Inuyasha let out a chuckle as he began to begin to eat.
“Been that long eh Shippo?” Inuyasha asked. Shippo nodded rapidly, taking another bite. Chomping powerfully the little fox looked at Miroku.
“See THIS is fresh!” Shippo exclaimed.
“I….I see.” Miroku mumbled. Looking over at Inuyasha Miroku couldn’t help but ask. “You’re really not going to cook it? Aren’t you afraid of getting sick?” Inuyasha smiled slightly, taking another bite of his own meat.
“Miroku….we are demons, demon’s don’t have to worry about the same things you humans do. Yes I’ve enjoyed cooked and seasoned meat, and you know I’d love to have some side dishes right now, but the fact is there isn’t anything better for a demon then fresh meat from a fresh kill.” Inuyasha answered.
“Oh….I didn’t…know that.” Miroku replied. A wicked grin spread over Inuyasha’s face.
“Oh yes, nothing like the taste of a fresh kill…meats still warm, blood is still hot.” Inuyasha purred. “So you wanted to talk right? Then talk monk.” Miroku’s brain quickly jump started.
“I simply wanted to make it clear that I had no intention nor would I ever have the intention of trying to use my wind tunnel upon you.” Miroku said. Inuyasha leveled a flat stare on Miroku.
“Oh really? Could have fooled me.” Inuyasha spat coolly.
“Its….a bit of a nervous tick I’ve devolved….Inuyasha please….you must understand I would never……” Miroku started, sighing he looked Inuyasha straight in the eye’s. “I’ve seen you touch your sword when you are nervous….I’m no different.” Inuyasha continued to look at Miroku, eyes unblinking.
“And if I would have snapped Kagome’s neck?” Inuyasha asked. Miroku scoffed.
“You would never do something like that.”
“Really?” Inuyasha whispered. Inuyasha couldn’t be serious; he would never have actually killed Kagome….
“You wouldn’t have done it….would you?” Miroku asked. Inuyasha sighed.
“I wanted that collar off Miroku….I’m not a slave….she…..you can’t imagine how I feel.” Inuyasha said.
“I…see.” Miroku said. “Well…either way its in the past….by the way might I ask why your wearing what appears to be Sesshomaru’s coat and armor?” Inuyasha blushed, his pale cheeks turning rosy.
“Uh…..um….we sort of got into a fight…my top half was torn up. I had to make due with what was left.” Inuyasha answered.
“I…uh thought your fire-rat robes repaired themselves? Something to do with your…demonic energy or something?” Miroku asked.
“Um….normally yes….but I couldn’t find them….and…..well I wasn’t in a position to be wandering around.” Inuyasha replied, turning an even brighter shade of red then Miroku ever thought possible. Taking another bite of meat Inuyasha changed the subject. “I don’t…..trust easily Miroku…and this whole thing has….really shaken me.” Miroku felt compelled to look away, it was rare for Inuyasha to open up period, for him to actually admit he was having trouble truly said something.
“I stand with you my friend….you can count on me….I’ll prove that somehow.” Miroku said. Inuyasha looked over at Miroku, a small smile playing at his lips.
“Thank you.” Inuyasha said. Looking down at the carcass Miroku was surprised to see how large of a chunk Inuyasha had already eaten.
“Hungry there Inuyasha?” Miroku chuckled. Inuyasha actually scowled.
“Yes actually, you people always keep me from eating my fill, and it’s my kill and I’ll eat as much as I fucking want. Got that?” Inuyasha snapped. Miroku jerked back slightly from the sheer acid in Inuyasha’s tone.
“No…no need to get upset…”Miroku said. Inuyasha sighed.
“I know…I know…I’m just a little testy about that…I’ve spent over a century being hungry Miroku.” Inuyasha whispered.
“Even with us? Why didn’t you ask for more?” Miroku asked.
“How many times has Kagome called me a selfish pig? None of you seemed to understand my needs, and no one ever listens when I voice them. So I just ignored it.” Inuyasha answered. If that was true then Miroku felt horrible….to think that his friend couldn’t even fill up his stomach and yet had to battle with all his might so often.
“I’m sorry.” Miroku said. He felt so ashamed. Inuyasha huffed slightly.
“It’s not your fault….don’t worry about it ok?” Inuyasha said. There conversation was interrupted by Shippo popping up in-between them.
“Aw man….burp….I am so stuffed.” Shippo groaned, patting his belly as he made his way over to the pail of water, before dipping his head down near the water. Shippo’s tongue shot out lapping up the water. Shippo let out another burp as he pulled his head up, Inuyasha chuckling at the kits actions, wiping at his mouth Shippo looked back at the carcass. “Maybe….one more piece.” Shippo mumbled. Grinning Inuyasha looked over at Miroku before slicing off another piece before tossing it to Shippo. Catching the piece of meat Shippo dug his teeth into it with glee. Miroku couldn’t help but laugh at the child sheer excitement over something so simple.
Suddenly a shriek tore through the air “Shippo what are you doing!!” Kagome’s voice rang out as the Miko came rushing up swatting the remnants on the deer out of Shippo’s hand. Wide eye’s the fox kit stumbled back in the face of Kagome. “What’s wrong with you?! Do you want to get sick!” Kagome raged.
In a split second Inuyasha was in front of her, his fangs bared, snarling. “Don’t you ever touch him.” Inuyasha growled.
“You moron! Do you have any idea how many bacteria are in raw meat! Are you that lazy that you can’t even take the time to build a fire!?” Kagome shouted.
“You’re calling me a moron!? We are demons you stupid bitch! We don’t get sick! Fresh meat is one of the best things for young demons to grow on. You don’t know shit about us and now your gonna tell me what do!” Inuyasha roared back.
“Your out of your-” Kagome started.
“He’s my son! DON’T tell me how to feed him!” Inuyasha belted out, before tuning and scoping the kit up. “Now Shippo are you still hungry?” Inuyasha asked, ignoring the fuming girl from the future.
“No…I’m….I’m actually pretty full.” Shippo answered meekly.
“Food poisoning, salmonella, you obviously don’t understand just how bad raw meat is for a person.” Kagome fumed, either unwilling or unable to understand Inuyasha’s words.
“For a person perhaps, but Shippo is a demon.” Inuyasha snapped. Walking back over to Miroku he set Shippo down at the monk’s feet. “Oi Miroku, watch Shippo for me for a bit would you?” Inuyasha asked.
“Sure…” Miroku said, slightly confused “I can do that.” Inuyasha nodded.
“Good I’m counting on you” Inuyasha replied. Bending down he addressed Shippo face to face. “Ok kit, now I want you to stay here, no wandering off. Just relax and let your body digest alright. Stretch your body out a bit but don’t be exerting yourself much. I have a little training exercise for you. Understand?” Shippo clenched his fists, with a determined look on his face the fox answered.
“Yes!” Inuyasha smiled.
“Good I’ll be back in a few, if your thirsty drink, if you have to relieve yourself do so, other then that stay put. Oh and none of that candy crap either.” Inuyasha ordered as he bounded off into the forest.
“Stubborn jerk…what does he know about anything?” Kagome huffed. Out of the corner of his eye Miroku could see Koga walking into the clearing.
“Actually Kagome he’s right, fresh meat is actually better for a demon’s body then cooked, especially when they are young. As a matter of fact the only time I ever eat cooked food is around you.” Koga said as he made his way over to Miroku. “Baby sitting for the moment monk?” Koga asked. Miroku nodded, but apparently Shippo didn’t appreciate the baby comment.
“Hey! I’m no baby!” Shippo shouted.
“Oh indeed you are a mighty grown fox.” Miroku joked, Shippo snorted in a very Inuyasha like manner before beginning to begin to stretch his little muscles out. Miroku was about to comment on the young kit’s antics when he noticed Koga looking at him funny…..again.
“Koga.” Miroku muttered.
“Hmm?” The wolf prince grunted.
“Why are you staring at me?” Miroku asked. Though much to his annoyance Koga seemed intent to pursuing his own agenda.
“You know….I think you’d look a lot better if you’d let your hair grow out a tad.” Koga said. Huh? Where did that come from?
“I….what?” Miroku sputtered. Koga moved in closer, his right hand reaching out as his fingers slid though Miroku’s hair.
“You have such nice soft hair, and I think it would look very nice splayed across your shoulders.” Koga whispered. To be honest Miroku was a tad freaked out, Koga had been acting weird for days now, always watching him, commenting on his movements, looks and even mannerisms. Miroku didn’t know how to take it all. Even when the wolf was behind him Miroku could swear that he could feel Koga’s eyes upon him.
“And just where…did this come from?” Miroku asked. Koga shrugged.
“Just tossing a few ideas out for you that’s all.” Koga answered. Miroku mentally sighed, just what was going on with the wolf prince? And why did it have to have something to do with him?
Inuyasha sighed to himself as he made his way back to Shippo, he really didn’t feel like putting up with Kagome, and something just told him she had a bitching just waiting. Not that he had to listen to it anymore not now that he was free of her stupid rosary. He had saw red when she has smacked Shippo’s breakfast out of his tiny hands, what right did she have to do such a thing?! The only thing that kept him from putting her in her place once again was that he didn’t want hurt the girl, and definitely not in front of Shippo, after all the fox had considered the girl to be his mother at one time and probably still did. Honestly he didn’t feel that Kagome was worth his time anymore, he hadn’t heard shit from Sango, but he had to admit it was nice to make up with Miroku.
“The monk does seem to be trustworthy.” The voice rang out. Indeed, how odd that the one of the group who was technically the smoothest with deception and trickery seemed to be the one he could actually count on. Spotting the kid and the monk in the clearing Inuyasha smirked to himself.
“Well now let’s see what the kid can do.” Inuyasha thought. As the others eyes tuned in on him Inuyasha walked over to a large tree, using both hands he proceeded to rend a large X into the wood. Taking a step back to admire his handiwork he hummed to himself. “Yeah that ought to work.” Inuyasha thought before turning and heading towards Shippo and…Miroku who seemed to be….shying away from Koga.
As always just as he neared the group Kagome opened her mouth.
“Inuyasha we need to tal-” Kagome started before Inuyasha held up a hand to silence her. Looking down at his young charge Inuyasha was pleased to note the determined look on the kits face.
“Well kid this one’s going to be tough, so I certainly hope you’re ready.” Inuyasha said before tossing a small ball of plant material tied with vines to Shippo, the young fox carefully sniffed at the ball in his hands, before immediately recoiling in disgust.
“Oh god! That is rank!” Shippo spat. Inuyasha merely grinned.
“Distinctive yes? So think you could find something that smelled just like that?” Inuyasha asked.
“Be pretty hard not to….god that is like the worst thing I’ve ever smelled.” Shippo answered. Inuyasha suddenly got serious.
“Good, because that’s just what your going to do. Here’s the deal kid, in the forest behind me I’ve hidden something that smells just like that does, and guess what? You’re going to find it. And you’re on your own till you do.” Inuyasha said. Shippo’s jaw dropped. “Now before you panic too much about how hard that’s going to be, notice that large X I ripped into that tree?” Shippo nodded. “Good because there are dozens of them around the forest, I’ve basically blocked off your search area, so if you see one, don’t go past it ok?” Shippo gulped.
“Totally on my own?” Shippo meeped out. The small child shook slightly. Inuyasha sighed, he really didn’t want give this part away…he really wanted to gauge where Shippo stood at his very best…but..
“No…I’ll be watching, but you wont see me, and I don’t intend to get involved in the slightest unless your life is on the line go that?” Inuyasha said.
“I….I understand.” Shippo replied. Inuyasha crossed his arms looking down on the fox.
“Good, so then take a minute to gather anything you think your going to need, and then get going, the sooner you find it the sooner you can come back.” Inuyasha said.
Inuyasha watched as Shippo hurried about with a little pack he seemed to have found somewhere, to be honest it looked like something from Kagome’s time but Inuyasha felt that he could let that slide. Kagome herself had pitched quite a fit over his training idea, but now that she couldn’t plow him into the earth he was finding her much easier to ignore.
“Inuyasha, this seems a little harsh.” Miroku suddenly said. Inuyasha just looked at him.
“It’s not that bad. This is a good test to see where he stands. How well he can track, how he can fight, what he knows about survival, and I’ll be watching the whole time.” Inuyasha replied. Just as Shippo was about to enter the woods Inuyasha felt compelled to say something, the kid looked way to pensive. “Oi Shippo! Be strong and show me what you can do!” Inuyasha shouted.
“Yes!” Shippo shouted back, his fists in the air, a big grin on his face as he darted into the woods. Waiting a few minutes to give the fox a head start Inuyasha leaped up into the air, intent on watching Shippo from the tree tops. Inuyasha grinned, if nothing else this would be interesting to watch.
As night began to fall Inuyasha situated himself upon a large tree branch, down below him sat Shippo, the kit was getting a drink from a small stream. Not a bad first day, Inuyasha honestly hadn’t expected him to succeed very quickly, though the fox had been absolutely clueless about how to start for the first several hours he did seem to be getting the hang of it but it was obvious the child knew very little about tracking.
“Well that’s what this whole thing is for….to see what he can do.” Inuyasha thought as he watched Shippo begin to make a small bed for himself.
“He’s not really going to sleep on the ground is he?” the voice asked. Yeah that would be bad….generally if you were small and easy to eat, you didn’t want to be down low. That was a lesson Inuyasha himself had learned a long time ago, which was part of the reason he had taken to sleeping in tree’s.
“I think he is.” Inuyasha muttered
“You going to say anything?” the voice asked.
“No….I’m not going to interfere at all, unless he is in serious trouble.” Inuyasha answered. Inuyasha watched as the kit continued with his activities, but suddenly Shippo stopped.
“I wonder why Inuyasha always sleeps in a tree?” the kit mumbled. “He’s got to have a reason….” Inuyasha had to stop himself from laughing began to bitch about having to do this one his own. It was funny, but Inuyasha did feel a moment of pride when Shippo abandoned his forest floor bed and began scrambling up a nearby tree and let out a tiny snort as Shippo began to make himself comfortable complete with little snips of “Stupid bark” and something about getting splinters in his butt.
Inuyasha continued to watch until Shippo had fallen asleep, confident the kid was safe for the moment Inuyasha turned his attention inward. He still couldn’t figure out what had happened with Sesshomaru….and what they had done. But before he could get too far into his thoughts his attention was drawn to a strange tingling feeling on his chest. Pulling his ex-Sesshomaru shirt open Inuyasha noticed for the very first time a strange mark on him. “What the hell?” he muttered peering down upon it, it must have come from Sesshomaru, but how? He’d never been left with a scar before. The bastard must have used some kind of poison on him. But that didn’t make any sense either, after all, the prick had shoved his whole hand through Inuyasha’s abdomen before and although it had hurt like hell it hadn’t left a mark.
Upon closer inspection Inuyasha noticed the mark did not look like a normal claw mark, in fact it looked as if he had gained one of those human tattoo things, five crescent moons adorned the spot right above his heart in a tiny semi circle, and each moon was intertwined and interconnected by what appeared to be delicate thorny vines. Seriously what could Sesshomaru possibly have done to leave something like that on him? Did the bastard have ink in his claws as well as poison? Gently Inuyasha traced his fingers along the mark, and was unprepared for the burst of warmth that spread though him, gritting his teeth against the feeling Inuyasha could swear he could suddenly smell Sesshomaru as if the Ice prince was right next to him, a flash of irritation blew though Inuyasha, one that felt very much like Sesshomaru himself, sucking in a sharp breath Inuyasha could practically taste his brother on his tongue. He pressed his fingers into the mark harder, the warmth spreading through him, why did it feel like Sesshomaru was right there? Inside of him in fact. Claws still tracing along the mark Inuyasha felt extremely confused “Sesshomaru?” he thought.
If Sesshomaru had to rank today on the list of all time bad days, he could say without fear of rebuttal that it ranked right up near the top. He honestly didn’t know what was worse, the fact his body could still feel Inuyasha’s actions, or the fact that his youki felt obliged to continue to tease him about it. How in the hell did it happen? How could this Sesshomaru, have been…mounted by his disgusting half breed brother? How could he have been…..have been…
“Fucked? By that very same hanyo?” His youki giggled. Sesshomaru snarled to himself, if the constant reminders had not been bad enough his youki seemed to be rather amused by sending flashes of memories of that act though him.
It was most aggravating.
So to that end Sesshomaru had through him into his work, the first order of business had been a thorough investigation into the events concerning his young ward, and the bitch of the south Nefrume. A questioning of the guards had turned up nothing, something that displeased Sesshomaru greatly, that coupled with the events with Inuyasha had forced him to express his displeasure with the demons charged with keeping intruders out of his home.
It had not been pleasant. But they would live.
A careful examination of the outer wall had unveiled her route into the castle, the fact that she had simply scaled the wall without drawing anyone’s attention had as Inuyasha would have put it ‘pissed him right the fuck off’
“See now your starting to think of him more, how cute” His youki giggled.
“Shut…..up” Sesshomaru mentally snapped. To that end he had increased both the patrols along the wall in both numbers and frequency and had made it clear that failure would be punished accordingly. He had also felt the need to assign two guards to accompany Rin at all times. All the trouble over Nefrume, doubled by the work he already had to perform as the Lord of the west had made for a very tiring day.
One that Sesshomaru could not wait to end.
As he begin to walk down the hall that lead to his private chambers he reached up to massage the stiff muscles of his neck, inadvertently rubbing the mark Inuyasha had placed upon him. Growling at the tingling warmth that slid though him Sesshomaru tore open his chamber door before slamming it shut and locking it tight.
“Stupid mark….stupid youki….stupid Inuyasha!” Sesshomaru snapped as he flung himself upon his upon his bed. Willing sleep to come over him Sesshomaru buried himself within his furs and bed covers.
What a troublesome day.
“Sesshomaru?” Inuyasha’s voice nipped at his brain as crimson eyes opened and youki-Sesshomaru sat up.
“Inuyasha?” Sesshomaru whispered, his hands playing at his mark. He could feel the pull of the one who had marked him….even still this was very odd….
It was not unusual for one mate to call out to another….but was Inuyasha actually calling out to him? Sesshomaru grinned “Well…only one way to find out.” Sesshomaru was only glad his other half had gone to sleep before Inuyasha had called out to him. “Who knows what that brat would have done.” Youki-Sesshomaru muttered as he launched himself out of his chamber window and into the sky.
“Wait just a few minutes more Inuyasha, for this Sesshomaru is coming for you.”
Inuyasha was pissed, not only did his brother scent seem to want to linger inside of his nose and mouth, but all that warmth that had rushed though him had seemed to all setting in one place. Inuyasha growled at his now hard, throbbing member. What the fuck was going on? And since when did touching a mark on his chest bring out Sesshomaru scent and make him horny as hell? Scowling at his groin Inuyasha spoke. “You don’t give me any trouble for over two hundred years and NOW all of a sudden you want attention…what the hell dick….where did all of this come from?”
“Might have something to do with the whole losing our virginity situation.” the voice chimed in. Could that be it? Inuyasha had never really touched himself before, there had never been time, with his life being in almost constant danger, and then having his group around him all the time, and it wasn’t like anyone else had ever touched him. Sure the few kisses he had received had made him ache…but never like this. The spat with Sesshomaru had led to his very first orgasm…not only with another person but first ever at all. Inuyasha closed his eyes and tried to ignore the aching need that was welling up within him, demanding attention. Unbidden his hand began to trail down his body, Inuyasha sucked in a sharp breath has his fingers ghosted along the material covering his body, his claws tracing up and down his aching need.
“Don’t ignore yourself…..no one can see….there is no reason not to.” the voice whispered. That was true….now would be the perfect time with Shippo asleep and all. Inuyasha let out a tiny moan as he closed his fingers around clothed flesh, teasing it lightly.
“That’s it….see no harm done.”
Sliding his hand down to his waist Inuyasha slid his pants down just enough to free his aching flesh, he shivered slightly as the night air caressed him teasing him further. “Damn…when did I get so sensitive?” Inuyasha thought, leaning forward he looked over at Shippo, reassured that the kit was asleep Inuyasha leaned back into the tree….the very warm tree….that breaths?
“Mmmmm….is that for me Inuyasha?” A voice whispered into Inuyasha’s ear. Wait…that voice…..
Sesshomaru!?
FUCK!!
Inuyasha surged forward, only to have Sesshomaru’s arm snake around his chest and pulled him back.
“Sesshomaru?! What are you doing?” Inuyasha hissed, damn it, it just figured the one time he tried to take some time to himself and didn’t pay attention……shit….. “This is EXACTLY WHY I DON’T DO THINGS LIKE THIS!” Inuyasha mentally roared.
“Well how was I supposed to know he’d show up!?” the voice shot back.
“You called me Inuyasha…” Sesshomaru whispered again, his hot breath sliding around Inuyasha’s ear…an ear that suddenly seemed very sensitive. Inuyasha didn’t know whether to be enraged, terrified or embarrassed, he was caught with his pants down….literally!
“I didn’t call you…I wasn’t doing anything! What’s wrong with you…and what the hell did you do to me? What is this mark on my chest?!” Inuyasha snapped, trying to keep his voice down, the last thing he wanted to needed was for Shippo to wake up and see this.
“Oh but you did. Mark?….oh you mean this mark?” Sesshomaru purred as his hand slid inside Inuyasha’s top, his long elegant fingers playing along the mark. Inuyasha’s eye’s closed at the feeling, warmth even greater then before spread though him, his body relaxing despite his attempts to gather his strength. “That’s it….just relax little brother, I swear I’m not here to hurt you.”
“What’s…going on with you…….you never……” Inuyasha gasped as Sesshomaru’s mouth began to trail down his neck, biting and sucking at the flesh there. “Your not….Sesshomaru….this is some kind of trick.”
“Oh but I am Sesshomaru….just not the one your used to dealing with. But you’ve met me before…do you not remember? Do you not remember being inside me?” Sesshomaru said as he licked a long wicked line down Inuyasha’s throat, his lips sealing against the flesh as he nipped lightly. Inuyasha tensed, almost waiting for Sesshomaru to tear his throat out. But even though part of his mind worried for his life, another part flashed with images of their previous joining. What the hell was going on?!
Sesshomaru finger’s danced across Inuyasha’s skin slipping over one nipple, Inuyasha let out a shuttering soft moan as Sesshomaru thumb began tracing circles over the hardened nub of flesh.
“Sesshomaru….tell me…what…..ugh…” Inuyasha sputtered.
“Shhh…don’t talk…just feel.” Sesshomaru muttered as he switched to the other side of Inuyasha’s neck, attacking the flesh there. Inuyasha couldn’t help but flush with embarrassment as his body hardened even further from Sesshomaru’s actions. A gasp tore out from Inuyasha’s mouth as Sesshomaru both bit down upon his neck gave his nipple a sharp squeeze at the same time.
“I have…I have to get away….ugh…I…unnn….”Inuyasha thought as he tried to tighten his muscles to leap once more, only to have Sesshomaru’s fingers brush against the mark, why did his body do that every time Sesshomaru touched that stupid thing.
“Relax Inuyasha…please….” Sesshomaru whispered, his voice soft.
“Sesshomaru….I…” Inuyasha’s voice was cut off again as Sesshomaru continued to attack his neck and nipples at the same time, that wicked tongue and elegant deadly fingers darting across his flesh. Inuyasha let out a long low moan, gods his body was aching…he didn’t know how much more he could take, how could he possibly get so hard?
With an audible pop Sesshomaru released Inuyasha’s neck, rising back up level with Inuyasha’s ears.
“Mmmm…..these seemed sensitive earlier” Sesshomaru whispered as his tongue flicked out, teasing along the edges of Inuyasha’s right ear.
“Ohhhh” Inuyasha groaned.
“Ooooh that’s a nice sound.” Sesshomaru chucked taking more of Inuyasha’s ear into his mouth, sucking on it gently.
“Nghhh….Sesshomaru….s-s-stop….I cant…..I cant take…..stop…just stop…” Inuyasha gasped, he couldn’t handle the double assault to both his chest and ears.
“Oh poor boy….why didn’t you say so? I would never ignore your need.” Sesshomaru purred. Inuyasha’s eyes widened as he saw Sesshomaru’s hand playfully walking down his stomach towards his cock. Inuyasha breath caught in his throat as Sesshomaru’s fingers plays upon the taunt, hardened flesh. Was this actually happening? “I didn’t mean to tease you so, say something next time Inuyasha.” Next time?!
“You….actually…ugh….ooh…plan on….” Inuyasha panted, letting out a low whine as Sesshomaru’s fingers closed around his aching member.
“Ohhh….I see….you need release so very badly don’t you? Mmm…so hard little brother. Had I know your need was this great I would have…brought some oil.” Sesshomaru whispered, his hand pumping slightly. Huh?….what did that mean
“Oil?…..why so…ahhh….you could…..burn me or…unnnn…something?” Inuyasha groaned as Sesshomaru squeezed him, manipulating his flesh with long, slow firm strokes.
“Hardly….oil to make….things slick” Sesshomaru replied, voice husky. “Another time perhaps….mmmmm Inuyasha I can feel you throb….you need this so badly don’t you?” Inuyasha didn’t reply, Sesshomaru’s hand was beginning to pick up speed, becoming slippery from Inuyasha’s leaking fluid. Inuyasha body quivered, he could feel Sesshomaru’s hot breath on his right ear. Oh gods we wasn’t going to….
Sesshomaru’s mouth closed over Inuyasha’s right ear as his strokes increased in firmness. Inuyasha began to squirm, his body feeling like it was going to burst.
“Ahhh….Sesshomaru!” Inuyasha moaned.
“Again Inuyasha….say it again.” Sesshomaru panted, totally immersed in Inuyasha’s pleasure.
“Sess….Sess….ho…maru…uhgn& #8230;..please…I….” Inuyasha gasped.
“If there was more room….I think I’d like very much to take you into my mouth, I want to taste you Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru purred, voice dripping with lust. The image in Inuyasha’s mind was powerful enough to bow his back slightly as a low throaty moan spilled into the night’s sky.
“Fuck…Shippo is going to hear this….” Inuyasha whispered. Sesshomaru licked along the outer edge of Inuyasha’s ear.
“You kit is still sleeping peacefully, relax and enjoy Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru replied. Suddenly Sesshomaru tempo picked up speed, forcing Inuyasha breath in, in tight bursts. Inuyasha closed his eyes as his body began to tighten. He was so close….so close. Swallowing hard Inuyasha’s hands shot out clutching at the tree behind him and Sesshomaru, clutching at anything just to anchor himself.
“Yes….that’s right…..let yourself go….Gods Inuyasha you are so beautiful….come…..spill for me…..please…..oooh…don’t fight….just spill….give….” Sesshomaru moaned. The words shot right though Inuyasha as the point of no return was reached, Inuyasha back bowed, his head snapping back as he drew in a shuttering breath, Sesshomaru’s lips came crashing down upon Inuyasha’s, their tongues intertwining as Sesshomaru swallowed Inuyasha’s cries as his seed pumped out of his body. Inuyasha’s hands tore though his hand holds in the tree from the sheer force of his release, he couldn’t think, couldn’t do anything but clutch at the demon lord plundering his mouth and wringing pleasure from his body.
Slowly Inuyasha’s release began to ebb, both Sesshomaru’s hand and mouth became slower and softer, until Inuyasha’s body had not more to give. The kiss became something tender then, something soft. Inuyasha could do nothing but breath and for a brief time enjoy the mouth upon his, the tongue that lapped and curled around his own. Panting for breath Inuyasha broke the kiss, slowly he opened his eyes, Sesshomaru’s breath caressing his face, and met the crimson eyes of Sesshomaru.
Crimson eyes!
In Inuyasha’s mind crimson eyes on Sesshomaru equaled massive poison/acid for saliva dog that wanted to kill him.
On shaky legs Inuyasha pulled away, yanking his pants up as he slide further down the branch away from Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru looked at him with concerned eyes….eyes that seemed to hold…hurt?
“Have…I done something…wrong?” Sesshomaru asked. Inuyasha just stared at him. A person who had done nothing but abuse him, try to take what little possessions he had, try to kill him, and suddenly molest him was now asking if he had done something wrong?
“The last time your eyes….went….like that…..I had to cut off the arm….of a big white…dog trying to eat me.” Inuyasha panted, still trying to recover from his release.
“Oh…that…..no worries then, I told you….I’m not like that Sesshomaru.” Sesshomaru said. What the fuck?! There were two Sesshomaru’s!!? That just wasn’t fair. Inuyasha was about to say something when Sesshomaru lifted his hand up to his lips and began lapping at it. Inuyasha’s jaw dropped.
“What….what are you doing?!” Inuyasha exclaimed.
“Mmmm…tasting you….you got me all sticky. Be a shame to just wipe it off. It’s a precious gift.” Sesshomaru answered. That part made Inuyasha brain hurt…seriously.
“What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?!” Inuyasha snapped. “I mean first we…..we…”
“Fucked? Rutted? Joined? Is that the word your searching for?” Sesshomaru asked. Inuyasha snarled.
“Don’t mock me…..damn you….what’s your aim….gods I hate you! Haven’t you don’t enough to me, is this all some kind of game to you?! That’s it isn’t it? Some plan to hurt me some more, your either just trying to take my sword or kill me, that’s all you ever do!” Inuyasha snapped. Sesshomaru’s shoulders slumped and his eyes were actually filled with….sadness? Regret?
“I…..that’s wasn’t me….that was my other half. I’ve never wanted to hurt you.” Sesshomaru whispered. Inuyasha’s temper flared, after everything he had been though Sesshomaru was pulling this shit?
“What’s your aim Sesshomaru? You’ve never cared about me, you’ve made that damn clear.” Inuyasha spat.
“No….you don’t understand, I’m not that Sesshomaru…I’m what is called his youki.” Sesshomaru said, his voice full of hurt. “Please…I don’t wish to fight, not with you.”
“Youki? What the fuck are you talking about? Isn’t that just another word for demon?” Inuyasha said.
“Don’t you have….a voice deep inside? Something that tries to guide you? Or do you ignore him as I am ignored?” Sesshomaru asked. What? A voice….inside?
“He means me….I’m your youki, he is Sesshomaru’s version of me basically” Inuyasha’s youki said.
“What? That’s what you are? Why didn’t you say something?” Inuyasha thought.
“You didn’t ask….as a voice or your youki its just a title” Inuyasha’s youki replied.
“Inuyasha….you must understand….I tried….I tried so hard to make him take you in….but he wont listen! He has completely shut himself off from me ever since father died. I’ve done everything I can think of to help you.” Sesshomaru said, his tone pleading.
“So you’re a different Sesshomaru huh….well obviously you can take over him so why don’t you?” Inuyasha asked.
“It doesn’t work like that….I can only have control for short amounts of time, just like when yours had taken over. We control your powers, your demonic energy…but we must rest. He is the dominate half of our being, just as you are the dominate of yours.” Sesshomaru explained.
“So your saying you tried?” Inuyasha asked.
“Yes….and I’m still trying….but he is so stubborn…all I have ever wanted is for us to…” Sesshomaru started.
“So you failed then” Inuyasha said. It wasn’t a question, it was a statement, and it tore though Sesshomaru. Yes he had failed…. “Just leave….I want nothing from you…and don’t you do this again.”
“Inuyasha….you…” Sesshomaru whispered.
“Leave.” Inuyasha growled.
“But mate…..I” Sesshomaru pleased, crawling towards Inuyasha reaching out to him.
MATE?!
“What the fuck did you just say?!” Inuyasha snarled, lunging forward catching Sesshomaru around the throat and driving him into the tree “HOW DARE YOU? How dare you call me your mate. That’s so fucked up on SO many different levels.” Sesshomaru didn’t even try to fight, his hand just reached for Inuyasha’s face, his eyes glistening. Inuyasha snapped at the hand that reached for him.
Slowly Sesshomaru reached over, pulling his shirt away from his neck, exposing Inuyasha’s mark.
“Do you see this? You marked me Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru said, before reaching over and pulling Inuyasha’s shirt open. “And that is mine, we have marked each other….that is why I called you mate.” Inuyasha’s blood froze…he couldn’t be mated to the asshole….no way…
“We are mated?” Inuyasha growled. To be honest he did not know much about how a demon claimed his mate….he certainly didn’t think males could, or would mate with each other, he simply had always though his instincts would tell him what to do when the time was right.
Sesshomaru shook his head, or the best he could with Inuyasha hand around his throat.
“No….it is just a mark of possession….a first step so to speak.” Sesshomaru said.
“Can it be overridden? Can I still take another mate?” Inuyasha asked. Sesshomaru looked shock that Inuyasha would even ask such a thing, the pain in his brothers eyes unrepentantly tore through Inuyasha, but he merely pushed it aside….as he had been pushed aside so many times.
“Y-yes….but…it would cause the abandoned mate….great pain.” Sesshomaru answered.
“So if I take a mate it will hurt you? Is that what your saying?” Inuyasha said.
“Yes.”
“Huh…sounds good.” Inuyasha said pulling away from Sesshomaru. “Now leave….I don’t want to see your face.” Slowly Inuyasha stood up on the branch looking down on his brother.
“Inuyasha…..I….don’t do this…please I can help you” Sesshomaru said.
“Your over two hundred years late bastard.” Inuyasha spat. “How dare you put a mark on me, its bad enough everything else you’ve done…now you try to….just leave…”
“Inuyasha….I told you that wasn’t me…..but I truly believe if you only help me we can get him to accept you. I know it!” Sesshomaru pleaded.
Inuyasha placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
“Leave or it will be a fight between us.” Inuyasha growled.
Sesshomaru looked at him for another moment before flinging himself out of the tree and into the sky. Inuyasha watched as Sesshomaru disappeared into the darkness. Slowly he settled himself back down in the tree, intent on trying to get at least a little sleep tonight, when a anguish filled howl ripped though the air, Sesshomaru’s howl. It sliced into Inuyasha’s heart, and he had to bite down with all of his might to keep from answering, tears began to form in Inuyasha’s eyes, pooling up, before falling slowly down his cheeks.
All Inuyasha had ever wanted was his brothers love….
That’s all.
It wasn’t much to ask was it?
“Damn you Sesshomaru…..damn you.”
Ok and we are done with this chapter. I know its been a while since I updated and I apologize for that. I’ve had a lot of personal stuff going on and I’ve been uber busy. So I tried to make this chapter nice and long. I worked reallllly hard on it so I hope you all enjoy it.
Now to the reviewers! I love you guys.
Princess Sin: I think my main issue with that chapter was that I had to struggle to write it. I got stuck dozens of times, so it was broken up into pieces. I never got the full force of it at once. I tried to make a nice emotional moment. I like the idea of Shippo calling out like that, and its parallels to Inuyasha’s childhood.
gen50: I was going to go back to Sesshomaru, but I was so tired I felt it could wait. I like deviling into Inuyasha’s pained past, and I just love abusing Sesshomaru, its always so fun to mess with him for some reason.
petpeeves123: Yup Shippo’s definitely got some lessons to learn.
Nikkie23534: Rooting for Sess eh? Well then stay tuned! I tried really hard with Inuyasha and Shippo’s interaction
Polka dot: Naked Sesshomaru running through the woods eh? I’ll see what I can do, I’m not sure its in his contract but I’ll check.
szaugg laughs: Yes I tried hard not to overdo it, I felt I may have with the third howl but hopefully I didn’t. Ah yes Miroku….haha well I’ve got some ideas for the Monk rest assured. Though with you and your monk story I gotta make sure I give a good one. Looking forward to the next chapter? Well So am I on Uke and the Other side stories, so I hope you like this chapter number 12.
hyperactive pup: I’ve got some stuff in the next chapter that pulled at my heartstrings, and I hope everyone else’s.
LadySess: Koga is up to something, but I’m not going to say yet XD yeah I think Shippo is smart enough to give Inuyasha his due.
ladytokyo: God I love long reviews. Ok here we go. Well I’m not sure I would say Koga is seeing Miroku as a mate….he’s just seeing potential. I like the idea of Inu wearing Sesshomaru’s things, I know a lot of people like the fire-rat clothes, but I kinda want to see Inuyasha in a lords silks you know? Honestly I struggle to write Sango…I just don’t have a good hold on her, that’s why you don’t see her much. I figure out the of group Miroku is more likely to understand Inuyasha’s pain and loneliness due to his own experiences with the wind tunnel. Yes I remember your poem but sadly I have both lost it and been very busy so I couldn’t write anything. As for Inuyasha having more control when his youki took over. No, its not like that, its just that Inuyasha and his youki are more alike then Sesshomaru and his, more in sync so to speak. As for Inuyasha’s fire-rat robes healing….well I didn’t know that, or I forgot, thanks for reminding me, sorry for the oversight.
Tai-san: Glad you enjoyed it. Koga is becoming disenchanted with Kagome due to her attitude, I always got the feeling that he doesn’t really know her, due to never being around much or very long. As for Miroku well he is gaining Koga’s interest in a few ways, but not even Koga had made up his mind about Miroku and where he’s gonna go with it at this time.
PinkyBunny: To be honest I have a hard time writing the girls, and I don’t think I can just make Kagome be a bitch ALL the time. Plus she is from the future, I can hardly see her abandoning it for anyone in the past you know? The changes in Inuyasha’s body are almost done so stay tuned!
95454: Well Koga is up to something so I’m sure you’ll get more soon, but my main focus is on Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
Ok here’s a little hint on the next chapter.
Some questions are answered, Nefrume makes her reappearance and Sesshomaru is taken on trip down memory lane from hell.
Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing. I hope you like this chapter, I’ve been working on it for days!
