Chapter 14: My Cornerstone

I had let what my Uncle and the Priestess said push me into action. His pack had decided to stay a week and I agreed that it was a good idea. Inu Yasha needed the company and it was good for him to be with those who knew him.

During that week I had made contact with a demon artisan known for his work with jewelry and had asked for a ring done in the finest of gold and asked him to keep it tasteful and for the sake of my brother; masculine, with a precious stone or two to make it stand out and asked for another very similar for myself.

I had seen gifts of jewelry given to many a mate or lover but the priestess insisted that when you marry or bond in her world a ring is often given as a sign of their bond. I found it slightly odd but did as she suggested.

In the dog demon tribe we usually were “marked” to show that one was mated or married. Many demon tribes have the same ritual, I know for a fact that the wolf demon tribes share the same ritual. It made me wonder where Kouga had left his mark on my brother. Not that I had long to wonder. I would see it soon enough after we were bonded and then I would add my own mark upon his body and he would in turn add his to my body.

The neck was the customary spot for a mating mark although I have seen and heard of other odd places.

My mother's first mating mark from my older brother; Koakajou's father, was and still is, on the left side of her neck. Her second mating mark from mine and Inu Yasha's father is on her shoulder, apparently it is easy to bite too hastily during ones marking, I asked for all the details to be kept from this ones mind for my own sake.

Her last and final mark is behind her neck, because at the time she and Hagashouri's father had been a secret affair, one that even at the time of his death had been quite disliked.

I thought about my brother and all the places on his body his mark could have been placed and found myself wondering where I would mark him. The thoughts made my blood stir for the first time in a long while.

By the time that Inu Yasha's pack said their farewells and made promises of returning I had received the rings. I placed them safely deep inside my robes and then began planning how best to present them.

Another week had passed marking the pups fourth month of life and I judged that the month of May was as good of time as any to give him the ring that would prove my oath of bonding with him.

I waited and bided my time, watching Inu Yasha's behavior to judge the place and time. As I watched him on this cool spring day playing with the twins I made my way over to him. As I approached him thoughts on how best to broach the subject and found my mind blank. I had never been one for strong emotions nor did I know how to show them so I suppose it was to best to do as he did; simply just do as I felt at the time.

He sat under one of the many sakura trees in our garden, quite a beautiful sight and one I had enjoyed and grown accustomed to.

“Hey, Sesshomaru, come to play with us,” he asked as he held Reimei; Keimei lying on his belly on a blanket beside him.

I nodded dumbly and knelt down beside Keimei, patting him on the head dumbly trying to figure out how I was supposed to go about this.

“Sesshomaru, are you alright? You're acting a little…odd…,” he said looking down at me with confusion.

I nodded and held my hands out for Reimei, “May I hold him?”

Inu Yasha looked at me oddly but nodded, even more confusion on his face as he handed me Reimei. I took him in my arms and gave a small and gentle hug before sitting him on his belly next to his brother on the soft blanket. I went into my pocket and took out the small pouch I had placed the rings in and gripped it tightly.

He watched me carefully as I poured the bags contents into my palm, his eyes going from confusion to recognition. I fought the urge to yell at him, telling him not to stare at me in such an unmannered way. Instead I took the slimmer ring in-between my thumb and pointer finger and held it out in front of me, between the two of us.

“It is time for us to stop putting off our bonding, this Sesshomaru understands that you would preferably like to wait, but as you know I have never been one for patience…”

I watched his mouth open and close a few times before he shut it completely and nodded silently, “I believe this is one of the few times I've seen you at a loss for words,” I said oddly amused.

I took his left hand in mine, my right hand running along the finger beside his pinky; his “ring finger” as the priestess had called it and saw that my previous marking of teeth had vanished. I looked up into his eyes and saw they're trembling but not in fear…no it was anticipation. I placed my lips on his fingers and kissed them and stopped at that ring finger and separated it from the others kissing it and watching his expression as I did so.

It was a sensual scene that had quickly turned into something primitive and sexual as his breath hitched and became labored; his cheeks turning pink, while I looked up at him intently as I sucked the tip of his finger into my mouth and then sucked and nibbled my way down to where it joined with his hand and he gasped in pleasure and pain as I once again bit it, drawing blood. I sucked on it tasting his coppery blood upon my tongue and pulled back watching his face, his mouth making a little “o” of pleasure.

It then occurred to me how to give him his ring. I grinned deviously, I could feel the muscles in my face straining with it as I lifted the hand holding our rings to my mouth and placed his ring into my mouth in front of my teeth but behind my lips.

I repeated my earlier action, this time sliding the ring on as I sucked his finger into my mouth, pushing it over my bite mark until it would go no farther and then I removed my mouth again.

I watched as eyes half lidded in pleasure grew wide in surprise as he felt the new weight on his finger. He stared down at his finger and then into my eyes and then back down his finger again.

“It's not going to vanish, you have nothing to fear. Now I only need you to say you agree and then we shall start planning for the bonding little brother.”

He opened his mouth and closed it and opened it again, trying to speak before finally he nodded mutely. I refused to have any misconstrued meanings so I pushed for a verbal answer.

“I'm would rather have you say it,” I said much to his annoyance.

“Yes, okay; GOD you haven't changed! You're still a prick!”

At that I raised my eyes in surprise and laughed out loud for the first time in months.

“Why are you laughing? Have you lost your mind or are you playing games with me,” he asked sounding somewhat hurt and confused.

I stood; careful not to step on our sons and lifted him into my arms.

“I am in complete control of my wits little brother,” I said as I held him in my arms a minute longer enjoying his attempts at escape and how adorable his scowling red face was.

“Then stop acting all weird,” he said as I set him back on the ground.

“It is not I who has been acting weird Inu Yasha.”

At that he scowled and looked away and closed his eyes taking a deep breath before looking back at me his face almost his usual look.

“Are you going to tell your family or what,” he asked softly.

“Yes, but if there is anything you'd like to talk about now is the time, whether it is about us or…him.”

“Perhaps in time…but right now I'd prefer to just think on the future. There will be plenty of time to discuss the past,” and as he said it I watched his right arm move, his hand coming to lay on the curve of his neck, where neck meets shoulder, on the left side and it was then that I knew where Kouga's mark was.

He self consciously dropped his hand and arm at his side and looked down at my left hand which was now balled into a fist, holding the other ring.

“Hold out your hand, Sesshomaru,” he said softly.

I did as asked and opened my fist revealing the other ring, almost the same as his own, merely a thicker band. I saw him eye it for second before he reached out and took it in his right hand.

He fidgeted for a moment, his cheeks pinkening before he finally spoke; “Hold out your left hand. Don't grin like that. I'm not using my mouth to put it on, only a pervert like you would think of something so embarrassing,” he muttered.

I did as asked and he laid his smaller hands atop my large left and slid the ring into place on my ring finger, pausing a moment to look down at it for a moment or two before removing his left hand, which he then lifted and placed on my shoulder pushing and pulling me down to his height. I didn't fight him and moved closer as he wanted.

His lips touched mine in a small chaste kiss before he pulled away, his cheeks a warm rosy red now, “Now let's go tell the rest of the family, though I doubt that they don't know. I get the feeling that we are watched much of the time; intentionally or unintentionally.”

I nodded and grinned before as I walked over picking up Keimei, or who I assumed was Keimei and held him out to Inu Yasha.

“Which is it,” asked Inu Yasha as he regained some of his smile.

“Keimei,” I said sounding certain although it belayed the thought that I might be wrong.

I watched as his smile grew wider; “See…I knew you'd eventually be able to tell them apart.”

I let out the breath I had been holding and gave a cocky grin before picking up Reimei and walked past him leading the way into the house.

He was right; we entered the house and made our way to the sitting room where we found not just my mother and Uncle but my two brothers as well as a smiling Rin.

“So, I hear that we have need of a celebration tonight,” said my mother smiling happily.

Inu Yasha blushed and bowed his head, his bangs barely hiding his red face.

“If you tease him anymore sis, I fear your soon will be marrying a tomato,” joked my Uncle Shanshouto.

“Well sit, let us dine and drink and on the morrow we shall begin preparations.

And both of us sat, happily next to each other and the wine was brought out as a toast to long life, love and future heirs was toasted.

To Be Continued…

Sorry it's a short chapter. I had a lot of trouble getting this out and had to rewrite it a few times. Next chapter should be done by next week.
