Chapter 35: Looking after Baby

Crinkling up his nose at the smell of sake that was wafting off his brother, Sesshomaru asked, "What the hell is shhhocolate? And why does he smell like he took a bath in sake? Although I have to admit, the look on his face is an improvement over his usual pout." He leaned over Kagome's shoulder and peered at his brother.

"Shhhocolate'ssssverygood…niichn…" he stared at his brother as Kagome got up and helped her mother put away the first aid kit and the mess that was made when she tended Inuyasha's wound. Inuyasha had somehow managed to pull himself up into a sitting position as he solemnly regarded his brother. "Niichnwhy theretwo ofyou?" Closing an eye, he went on. "Whered theother onego? Niichnpleashe makeit shtopshpinnin" Sesshomaru caught him as he slumped forward.

"Wegome? I need a bit of help here…." It was all he could do not to laugh as his brother's koibito came running and gently eased him back onto the couch. "The Wegome and I feel you should try and lie down for a while." He looked over at her and she nodded in agreement.

"Koishii…please stay here. You need to rest and if you get up and walk around you could wind up hurting yourself again. Please? I'll get you some chocolate, ok." She too was finding it hard not to laugh as she sat down next to him. The laugh did come out as a giggle as Inuyasha reached up and grabbed her chest.

"Koishii!" they said in unison, although hers was tinged with embarrassment and his with drunken lust.

"You know, Oto-chan if you don't let go of the Wegome, she won't be able to go get you some shhhocolate…" Sesshomaru said a touch of amusement in his voice. Shaking his head and thinking to himself how very much like Chichi-ue the Whelp was turning out to be he added, "I'll stay here and keep you company, if you like."

"Really?thats shooo….nishe ofyou…Muchn?MuchnI ..Need thetree now….Ihavetomake…" he finished in fit of giggles.

Rolling his eyes as he sighed, Sesshomaru gently hauled the hanyou turned ningen into a sitting position. "Come and you had better hold it or else Higarashi-sama will be mad at you not to mention myself." Slowly the two made their way to the tree out side the back door.

"Where are you two going? Inuyasha you should be resting on the sofa! Sesshomaru, what's going on?"

"Gomen, Higarashi-sama, but if I don't get him outside he's going to make a mess in here."

"Well I'll go get you a basin while you go park him back on the sofa." She gave him her best stern mother look; the one that said you'd better listen now or else.

"Not that kind of a mess. Please, just get the door for us….arigatou." Sesshomaru said as he propelled his wasted little brother out the door. "You'd better stay here…or you'll be seeing something you really don't want to…anno…anno…we're going to water your tree out back. Wake up Oto-chan!" He shook the hanyou turned ningen gently and Inuyasha woke up with a start.

"Muuchn I gotta make now…."

"No! Hold it damnit! If you make a mess here Higarashi-sama will kill you! Besides it's just another few paces. Come!" They much to Sesshomaru's amazement made it out to the tree just in time for Inuyasha to 'water' it. That was when Sesshomaru noticed that his left foot was now being 'watered' as well. "Ahh…Oto-chan can you…ummmm water the tree and not my foot, please?"

Sesshomaru sat there and watched as his little brother slept off the medicinal sake. This time he found watching over him to be more amusing than boring, for Inuyasha would occasionally mutter some of the stupidest stuff in his sleep. Most of it was about how much he loved the wegome and how she was the best woman in the world for bringing him some shhhocolate. The fact that he never received said shhhocolate never registered in his brain for he mentioned it several times as the night walked on into day. The funniest part and most annoying too was when he went on and on about how much he loved the wegome's legs and the fact she always kept them in view. Funny in that his brother was trying his hardest to be seductive to a woman who wasn't there; annoying in that it was hard to pry the slowly returning hanyou's death grip off his knee. Still it pleased him that as the room began to slowly lighten, so did his brother's hair. He didn't remember much about his brother's previous transformations as it never occurred to him to bother remembering. So he watched in fascination as Inuyasha's ears started lengthening into a shape that resembled his own. Soon they grew into their old familiar dog-like shape and once again they sat on top of his head. It was then that he noticed the thumb in his brother's mouth. Laughing to himself he thought, "You're still the same little runt you once were, aren't you?" Now that most of the danger had passed he closed his eyes and dozed as well.

It was the low moan that woke him.

"What the hell? OOOO my head……Sesshomaru if you so much as move an inch I'll kill you!"

"What now? Can't I sleep in peace for a change without listening to your whining?" he said softly.

"Must you shout at me? Gods my head hurts!" He swore as he moved to rub the sleep from his eyes and the wound in his shoulder made itself known. "What the hell did you do to me?"

"Look asshole…I did nothing except save your ass last night and take you for a walk a few times so you could 'water' Higarashi-sama's garden." He looked at his brother through one open eye as he tried desperately to go back to sleep. "I also had to pry your paws off me a few times as well as sit there quietly while you kicked me in the ass a few times, but other than that I didn't do anything to you. Oh and by the way… you're right the wegome does have rather nice legs for a ningen."

"I'm going to kill yoooouuuuaaaaarrrrgghhh!!!!" Inuyasha in sitting up too quickly found himself hit with pain. He didn't know which was worse the dull throbbing in his head or the sharp ache in his right shoulder.

"Lie still while I get the wegome! And I mean it! If you're not careful you'll re-open the wound in your shoulder. I don't think Higarashi-sama will take too kindly to you bleeding all over her furniture again." He gently pushed Inuyasha back down before getting up to go find the wegome.

Tempting as it was to walk for he noticed his brother wincing every time he took a step, Sesshomaru opted instead to glide up to the wegome's room. Besides as far as he could tell it was still early in the morning and way too early to be waking the whole household. On a cloud of soft pink mist he gently floated up the stairs and made his way quietly to where his younger brother's intended slept. Stopping just outside her door, he knocked lightly on the door frame. He found himself knocking several times, with each one getting louder, before he got a response. However it wasn't the one he was hoping for.

"OI Sesshomaru! Stop that infernal racket! My head feels like it wants to explode and you're not helping any!"

Rolling his eyes and wondering how that outburst didn't wake the whole household along with the neighbors, he knocked again before going in. He glided over to where she lay sleeping and gently shook her awake. That was when he nearly had his head handed to him as she whacked him across the face before her eyes fluttered open.

"Gomen…Sesshomaru….You scared me." She said softly her voice thick with sleep.

Fingering his jaw and thinking that their pups will at least have brawn instead of brains, he asked her to come downstairs with him.

"Is Inuyasha alright?" she asked concern written all over her face.

"Yes he'll live…but his head is killing him. I believe it's an after effect of all that sake. Just how much did the old man pour inside him? Anyway, I told him to stay there so he doesn't reopen that wound and you'd better hurry before he gets up thinking I've killed you or something…." He turned to leave as she started to get up and hissed, "You'd better walk softly or better yet if you come now, we can float there."

"Nani? Float? How am I supposed to do that?" She asked as she grabbed her robe and threw it on.

"Like this." He held out his hand and she took it. Then a look of wonder came over her face as she realized her feet were no longer touching the floor. Before she knew it they were down the stairs and on their way back to where her koibito lay.

Sesshomaru let her down just before they reached the living for he was too tired to start anything with his brother. They walked in as softly as they could until she couldn't control herself anymore and flew the rest of the way to his waiting arms.

"Koishii? Are you feeling better this morning?" She gently took his face in her hands and kissed the tip of his nose.

"I am now…thanks to you." They smiled at each other as she looked him over to see if it was true.

"Let me check your bandages and see if they need changing. Sesshomaru, can you please get the first aid kit from the kitchen? I left it there last night on the table. Thanks!"

Torn between complying with the wegome's request and remaining behind to see that they stayed out of 'trouble', Sesshomaru hesitated before doing the former. Although this time he decided to walk as he knew a few well placed steps would put out any fire in his brother. Sure enough as he headed down the hall, he heard his brother telling her, "Not now koishii my head hurts."

"There that should do it." Kagome said as she finished bandaging up the hanyou's injured shoulder. By now Higarashi-san was awake and the delicious smell of breakfast was soon filling the house.

"MMMMM….I'm hungry, what do you think your ofukuro is making for breakfast? I hope she makes those salty little strips of meat again. You know those things that look like she burnt them?" Inuyasha said as he eyed Kagome just as hungrily as he would have eyed said breakfast.

"Hunh? Oh you mean bacon. Yeah, Mama's making that along with some pancakes this morning. Want me to see if they're ready?"

"Can't I snack on you now and eat that later?" He pulled her closer, and nibbled a bit on her ear.

Reluctantly she got up and giving him a little kiss goodbye on the top of his head, she left to investigate the status of breakfast. She made her way to the kitchen and drinking in the smell of the hearty breakfast her mother was busy preparing; she sat down at the table.

"Mama, how long until that's ready? Inuyasha's hungry and he's complaining his head hurts. I was going to give him some Tylenol, but I don't think he should take it until he's eaten something, unless you think it's ok to give it to him?"

"Funny you should say that Dear. His breakfast is ready. I put it on the tray over there." Higarashi-san puttered around the kitchen finishing up the breakfast. She walked past her daughter and handed her the Tylenol before going up to wake Sota and his grandfather.

Kagome went and got the tray. She lifted the cover off of it and sighed when she saw what he mother had made Inuyasha for breakfast. "There's no way he's going to want to eat rice gruel when the whole house smells like bacon…." She thought with a groan.

Sesshomaru was at that moment drifting off to sleep in the wegome's room. He was dead tired of dealing with his brother's nonsense and now that he was out of danger, Sesshomaru decided a little sleep was in order. He was by now enjoying a wonderful dream about his Tsuki-chan when he heard the roar from downstairs.

"What the fuck is this shit??? I'm not eating that crap!!!! Where's the bacon????"

"Inuyasha what did I tell you about using that kind of language in this house?"

"Gomen Higarashi-san! Why did you make me this for breakfast? I'm hungry….this baby stuff isn't going to fill me up?"

"Because Dear, I don't think you should eat anything heavier until you're sure this'll stay down."

"Please Inuyasha, just eat it! I promise you Mama will make you all the pancakes and bacon you want afterwards. Right Mama?"

"Of course I will, but somehow I don't think even you will want to eat that much this morning."

Sesshomaru groaned and rolled over so he could use his one remaining hand to stuff the pillow over his head and ear. He was by now starting to wake up and he was not happy as this was a particularly pleasant dream he was having about his Tsuki-chan. He wondered if it was because all this talk about Tsuki-chan made him dream of her or if it was the faint perfume scent he smelled in the wegome's room. All he knew was once again that brat of Whelp had intruded when he was with his Tsuki-chan. Sighing he decided to get up and see what all the fuss was about.

~

"Well I can see you're on the mend, Oto-chan. Is there any reason for you to be making all that noise, or would you like me to give you one?" he cracked his knuckles.

"Shut up asshole and go away! I'm trying to get breakfast here." Inuyasha replied as he too cracked his knuckles.

"Boys! There will be none of that here in my house anymore! Hear me? Besides I thought you told me you wouldn't take advantage of him when he wasn't up to strength Sesshomaru. And you Mister, I don't think it's fair to provoke your brother that way either! Now what is wrong with the breakfast I made you?"

"It's baby food!" he pouted.

"Well since you're acting like one…I think you should go ahead and eat it Oto-chan. If you want I can feed it to you just like I did when you were a little whelp."

"Keh! I don't need you to feed me, and besides how do know you won't poison me or something?"

"Because I want you back up to fighting strength when I rip your head off! You know when you were little, you caused this much trouble back then too! Why can't you eat what's given to you for Kami's sake? There's nothing wrong with this except it's getting cold. You know what…if you don't want it I'll eat it." Sesshomaru reached over to pick up the bowl.

Fast as lightening Inuyasha reached out and snagged the bowl first. Spilling it slightly he raised it to his lips and drank it down in one gulp. Then eyes bugging out, he looked around for somewhere to put it as his stomach revolted in protest at being filled. Sesshomaru laughed as he left the room calling out for the women to hurry with that basin.
