Chapter 13: Tradition

 

Another week passed before Sesshoumaru allowed Inuyasha out of their bedchambers. They had several visits from Sango, Miroku, and their father, but Kagome refused to see them. Her excuse was `I'm not going anywhere near that sick and twisted monster.' It hurt Inuyasha to know that his friend was unhappy about him being with his brother but she would have to live with it.

 

The twins also made an appearance. Inuyasha still had a hard time distinguishing between them other then Vergil with cropped upright hair and Dante with limp hair.

 

But that didn't last long once they started sparring. They were virtually identical. Even their scent couldn't point out who was who since they were twins and mates. Vergil and Dante's scent intermingled, confusing all of them. The Inus and humans couldn't relay on the color of their clothes as they found out that the brothers love to see if any one notice that they were talking with Vergil and not Dante and vice versa.

 

Sango blushes every time she sees one of them (she was one of many victims during their clothes swapping). Inuyasha laughed at the memory as he repositioned himself in the tall tree over looking the training grounds. He patted the softness of his stomach gently, wondering what it would have been like to care for his pups. He knew without a doubt that Sesshoumaru would have been a wonderful father. The icy demon was very protective if by his being incapacitated was any indication to go by.

 

And mentioning of the demon slayer. Sango had warned him yesterday that Kagome was highly irate about him getting with child by Sesshoumaru and why he won't break the bond. Inuyasha shook his head ruefully. She couldn't be with him - end of story.

 

“INUYASHA!”

 

Oh, boy, she found him.

 

“Yeah, Kagome?” he answered.

 

“We need to talk.”

 

In one fluid motion, Inuyasha jumped from his perch as graceful as he could and landed directly in front of her. Kagome was fascinated by her friend's purple markings on his cheeks and went to touch them. She briefly wondered if the jagged stripes felt different to the touch like his velvet covered ears or would they feel the same as the rest of Inuyasha's soothed face.

 

But she never got to find out. The inu-hanyou growled at the approaching hand. Kagome quickly pulled it back.

 

/He's never done that before?/ “I knew it!” Inuyasha gave her a blank stare. “Sesshoumaru's got you under a spell or something.”

 

(Scoffs) “No, he doesn't.”

 

“You're not acting normal and I know you wouldn't willingly let your brother do those things to you.”

 

Kagome cheeks burned brightly.

 

He needed to set Kagome straight about his relationship with his brother.

 

“Listen, Kagome, demon society works differently from Humans. Even though it's frown upon family members mating each other in you time - it is not here for demons. We're not prone to illness and other diseases humans get when they mate siblings. If anything it keeps the bloodline pure - that's how we're able to identify each other and make strong alliances.

 

“Yes, it is rare that siblings mate especially when the sex is the same. Usually, it's mother to son, father to daughter, or uncle to niece so forth and so on. Father would have severed our bond had it not been for me conceiving. Pups are the life line of our clans, Kagome, and I'm sorry that you don't understand it, but I'm not leaving Sesshoumaru - not for you, my Father, or the Inu clan. I would be exiled first before giving up my claim on him.” /And my heart/ he added silently.

 

He could see tears spilling from her brown eyes.

 

“I thought…I thought you love me, Inuyasha, what happened?” she asked tearfully.

 

“I do, but as a sister. You, Sango, Miroku, and even that tired mutt, Kouga are part of my pack. I care for you guys but there was nothing between us, Kagome. When I reached my Majority my youkai searched for another youkai to compliment me. I thought it was Kouga…but I wasn't satisfied with him.”

 

Although Kouga dumped him he wasn't about to embarrass himself and tell her that.

 

“So, spreading your legs for your brother would do the trick?” she yelled. Kagome knew it was a cheap shot to take but she had to dissuade him somehow.

 

“I'm a half-breed. No one wants to be mated to a mutt. I got fuckin' lucky that Sesshoumaru's youkai called out to mine - otherwise I would be alone. Don't you get it? I can not mate a human. My youkai won't allow it because I'm a Beta.”

 

“A what?” Kagome was thrown for a loop.

 

“A Beta, a bitch - take it any damn way you like. I maybe an Alpha with you and the others but as far as mating goes I'm the weaker of the pair,” Inuyasha explained ears drooping at the admittance of be being submissive.

 

This was what Kagome gapped at; never in her wildest dreams that Inuyasha was to be had in such a way. No one bothered to explain how youkais sought out other youkais. She understood now - Inuyasha couldn't be with her - she wasn't a demon. Her spiritual aura was still maturing. She was still maturing. Kagome was no where near being an adult whilst Inuyasha had all ready passed his majority, which meant that he should had mated a century ago.

 

That didn't even make any sense. What prevented Sesshoumaru from claiming Inuyasha when he first hit his Majority? Or for that matter, why didn't Sesshoumaru take a mate when he was mature enough to so? These were answers that she needed to know and was going to know.

 

Her shoulders sagged. It was useless to try to go against the nature of things. She realizes that now about Dante and Vergil. Although they were half-demons they still followed age old mating rites. There was no way to go against millennium of innate instinct.

 

The hanyou blinked questioningly as he found himself with a handful of Kagome, crying on his chest saying how sorry she was for being selfish. He hugged her as a mother would comport her child. Inuyasha whispered inconsequential nonsense in her ear to calm her, after all she was part of his pack and he had to make sure she was taken care of.

 

Her immobility indicated to Inuyasha that she cried herself to sleep. With nothing else better to do, he settled them under the tree that he was sitting in earlier. He laid Kagome next to him on the grass as he leaned back against the base of the tree.

 

Closing his eyes, Inuyasha smiled. Their friendship would survive but they were going to have to rebuild the trust that was thrown away because Kagome felt betrayed but him mating Sesshoumaru. It might not be how it was before all of this but at least they were still friends.

 

Golden eyes drifted closed unaware of the calamity going on at the palace.

 

oOo TBC oOo

 

A/N: Was their confrontation explosive enough? I hope so. Inuyasha had to make Kagome comprehend that she could never be with him. So, what's going on now that order and peace finally been obtained? Are Dante and Vergil causing trouble again? Don't know. Well, to find out, stayed tuned for the next chapter.

oOo Teaser for Chapter 14 oOo

 

“This is an outrage! Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha did not seek a formal approval to bond. Therefore without any pups the union between them is void.”

 

Toga frowned. “No, they did not, but special circumstances had led me to make my decision as such. Besides, what proof do you have that would ensure heirs had Sesshoumaru mated your son?”

 

“Kagura.”
