Flames of Purgatory
Chapter: 7 Part I
"If you put it in I will have to kill you." Inuyasha growled, paused and ready to pounce on his prey.
"Let me just put it in this time and next time I'll let you do it" Said Miroku seriously
"Never. I will have what is mine and you will surrender to me." Inuyasha said completely ready to kill the perverted monk.
"If you truly love me Inuyasha, you will let me put it in" Miroku said unblinkingly.
"And I told you I will not break my pride and let you put it in" Inuyasha snarled in anger. This argument had been going on for more then twenty minutes and frankly didn't seem to be going any where.
The two boys were currently sprawled out on Miroku's bedroom floor, Playstation 2 controllers in their hands, playing, "Deadly Fighter Full of Sin". Inuyasha had unlocked a new player and Miroku was insisting that Inuyasha put his name as the high score player since it was his game. Inuyasha, however felt he worked hard to get as far as he did even though they had fought the enemy in joint battle, but he clearly felt he deserved the number one spot and apparently the PS2 had agreed because it asked the number 2 controller to log in his name as top scorer. Miroku on the other had was livid because he clearly gave the beast the last blow, so even if Inuyasha had two more experience points than himself, he clearly defeated the beast and not Inuyasha, regardless what the damn PS2 said!
"You heartless bastard. How can you do this to me?" Miroku proclaimed with fake tears in his eye that threatened to spill at any moment.
"Cut it out you freaky pervert. What's fair is fair." Inuyasha said unfazed by the fake unshed tears.
"Oh woe is me. Why must I endure such hardships?" Miroku continued even though Inuyasha was giving him a death glare. "Have you no heart? Have you no compassion? Spare an old man his dignity and let me-" Miroku's flamboyant speech was interrupted by Inuyasha's lash out of rage.
"Old man! You're only older then me by two months!" Inuyasha yelled not believing his ears.
"Honestly Inuyasha I thought you would have more respect for your friends. Sadly I was mistaken." Miroku said while pouting and getting off the floor to take a seat on his bed.
For the past two days, Inuyasha found himself coming over Miroku's house after school to sleep over. His mind was in utter turmoil. His body ached with a desire stronger then anything known to man. The nights seemed unbearable. Inuyasha found himself being rocked to sleep while crying for Sesshomaru these past two nights. During the day Inuyasha's emotions felt like they were on their own private roller-coaster. He was ten times worse then a girl PMSing or a women going through menopause. He was always hungry and sweating like someone was cooking his ass in a toaster. The pain in his abdomen was a constant searing pain. Don't let us forget the mood swings. One minute Inuyasha could be yelling at Miroku for eating his food to loudly at breakfast or breathing to loudly at night and the next thing you know, Inuyasha would start crying with his body racking from the force of the tears.
Miroku was brought out of his distractions at the sound of a 'beep'. Looking over to the T.V Miroku saw his name on the screen. Apparently Inuyasha had placed Miroku's name instead of his as the number one player, then reached over to shut down the gaming system.
"Inu-" Miroku began but got cut off by Inuyasha
"I'm sorry M-M-Miroku, I didn't m-m-mean to be such an ass" Inuyasha whispered with his head bowed as he sat on the floor hiding his face behind his bangs.
"No, Inuyasha I'm sorry. I was only playing with you, I didn't mean to get you so upset-" Miroku stopped mid sentence when he heard a soft whimper come from Inuyasha. 'Is Inuyasha crying?' Miroku thought to himself.
Silently Miroku got up from the bed and walked over to his friend. Kneeling down, Miroku took Inuyasha into his arms. Inuyasha quickly embraced the warm body that Miroku offered, his arms wrapping around Miroku's waist while pressing his face into Miroku's chest trying to smother his sobs.
"Hush Inuyasha. I'm here, it's ok" Miroku whispered into Inuyasha's ear while rubbing circles with his hand on Inuyasha's back trying to calm the distraught hanyou.
Slowly Inuyasha's concealing spell vanished leaving Inuyasha in his true form. Miroku's eyes widen at the sudden change. This wasn't the first time that Miroku saw Inuyasha in his true form however, he had never seen the transformation happen, until now. It was amazing to see Inuyasha waist length raven hair turn to a inhuman like silver. His human ears vanishing, to transform on top of his head like dog ears that looked furry and so touchable. Although Miroku couldn't see Inuyasha's face, he knew Inuyasha's eyes had change too, a molted golden color that rivaled the sun and shinier then any diamond on Earth. Inuyasha's finger nails clenched into the back of Miroku's shirt turning to claws, ripping Miroku's shirt a little.
The silence was broken by Inuyasha small voice. "I miss him Miroku.
" Why doesn't he answer the phone when I call...?
...Miroku couldn't answer.
"Why doesn't he c-c-call me back when I leave messages on the a-a-answer machine...?" Inuyasha continued while stuttering.
...Miroku couldn't answer.
" Why won't he answer the door when I try to see him...?"
Miroku didn't have any of the answers to his dearest friends questions, but by the Gods did he wish he did. Miroku wished he could shield Inuyasha from the world. He wished he could take away all of Inuyasha's pain. The hardest part was that Miroku knew he couldn't. The only person with that power was the one Inuyasha loved...Sesshomaru. Miroku's heart ached at the mentioned Seshomaru's name. He loved Inuyasha so much that it sometimes hurt to breath, to eat, even to live. Miroku vowed a long time ago that he would keep his feelings secret so that way Inuyasha could get with Sesshomaru without worrying about his feelings. He knew Inuyasha had too big of a heart to hurt him and therefore would abandon his own chance at happiness for his sake.
'No. I will not let that happen. Inuyasha deserves to be happy no matter what it does to my heart' Miroku thought to him self. Slowly, Miroku rubbed soothing circles on Inuyasha's back trying to get him to relax. The tension in Inuyasha's back lessened with Miroku's ministrations. "Hush Inuyasha. Everything will be fine, go to sleep." Miroku whispered to the shaking hanyou.
"Will you be here with me when I wake?" Inuyasha asked with a small voice.
"Yes"
"Promise.." Inuyasha persisted as his foggy mind drifted off to the realm of sleep.
"Always." Miroku answered while picking the other boy up and placing him in bed. He tucked Inuyasha in and kissed him of the forehead before laying down himself spooning his body to fit against Inuyasha's smaller frame.
-------
The passage of time was not kind to Sesshomaru. He looked like a train rack. His features and body appearance unkept. His hair sticking out all which ways and full of static from Sesshomaru running his fingers through his hair. Needless to say, Sesshomaru was going through withdrawals and was worst off then Inuyasha. His days seemed like hell and his nights were ten times worst then that. He craved Inuyasha in ways that were just plain sinful. Normally, craving someone wouldn't cause an issue with Sesshomaru however, the person he wanted more then anything else in the world just so happened to be his half-brother....Inuyasha.
Flash Back # 1
After dropping Inuyasha off at Miroku's house, with his bag of clothes, Sesshomaru took off like a bat out of hell, racing home. With haste, Sesshomaru made his way to the side door of the house. Swiftly taking out a set of keys he unlocked the door and jetted inside. His heart was drumming frantically in his ears. His sense were going haywire. His concealing spell melted away leaving his molted golden eyes to be seen with all their beauty.
His body ached feverishly, all his muscles taunt with a physical need. His heart constricted painfully in his chest with an urge for something that he never asked for nor wanted.
End Flash Back # 1
Flash Back # 2 (note, this takes place the 2nd day Inuyasha was dropped off at Miroku's)
Sesshomaru dragged his stiff frame into the solitary house. Although his facial features looked placid and calm, the inside was far from that, for on the inside he was an emotional wreck.
He had spent the whole day taking care of loose ends. First he went to his college professors office to sign a few documents that stated he could take the rest of his classes off until the end of summer. Then he traveled to the bank to make a few transactions to pay the bills. After all, Sesshomaru was in charge of the house until their father returned and who knew when that would be. ( A/N LOL little did he know...)
Throughout the whole day, Sesshomaru suffered from a fiery hot pin pricks that continuously stabbed at his skin with a vengeance. It seemed a fire was lit inside his body, ever so slowly eating away at his sanity. His face looked to all the world calm and collected but his inner demon was screaming for the hanyou...his enemy...his brother....Inuyasha.
End Flash Back # 2
Flash Back # 3 ( note, this takes place during the 3rd day after Inuyasha was left at Miroku's )
Sesshomaru looked down at the answer machine with a pensive look. The red light blinked on and off in a mocking way, indicating that there were messages, waiting to be heard. With a steady finger, Sesshomaru pushed the play button. His blood ran cold when he heard the following messages.
Massage # 1 - day - Friday
"Sesshomaru, it's me Inuyasha. I'm just calling to tell you how much of a fucked-up asshole you are. I'll never forgive you
End Massage # 1 -----Beep----
Massage # 2 - day - Saturday
"Sesshomaru......." The voice died down low like the speaker was struggling with some unseen desire. "What's wrong with me? I.....I...feel so hot.....please let me come home." The voice broke off for a moment as Inuyasha's breath caught. "I want to come home... please Sesshomaru?"
End Massage # 2 ----Beep----
Massage # 3 - day - Sunday
"Sesshomaru!!!" Inuyasha screamed histarically, sobbing could be heard over the line. "I tried to come home today but you locked the fucking door!" Inuyasha's sobs increased. "...Please...I just want to go home...I want to be next to..." The voice cut off and than the line went dead.
End Flash Back # 3
***present time ---- Monday morning ***
Miroku woke to the sound of an alarm clock and with the feeling of a stiff back. Through squinting eyes, Miroku scanned his surroundings. He was in his bedroom that much he was sure of however, he was also aware of a delicious warmth pressed against his chest and right side. Looking down to find the source of the warmth, the sight that confronted him made his eyes snap wide open.
Inuyasha laid cuddled up against Miroku's right side, with his head nestled under his chin, sleeping soundlessly. Miroku's breath caught then quickened. He was faced with a tremendous paradox. He knew he needed to wake Inuyasha up now or both of them would be late for school and have to deal with their homeroom teacher, Kikyou. On the other hand, he would rather die than lose the warmth that Inuyasha's body created. Alas, his commonsense won out in the end and with a loud sigh, Miroku shook Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Inuyasha, wake up it's time for school," Miroku said with a dejected voice.
Ever so slowly, the lids of Inuyasha's eyes slipped open. He scanned his surroundings not really sure of where he was. Slowly Inuyasha sat up wincing when his back gave a few snapping sounds. Now fully awake, Inuyasha noticed Miroku was up and gathering his cloths for school. Tiredly, Inuyasha stood up from the rug covered floor and stretched.
"What time is it?" Inuyasha asked with a yawn.
"We have twenty minutes to get ready and eat breakfast, then we have to leave or we will be late for school." Miroku said while walking over to the bathroom door, clothes in hand and a smile on his face.
----------------
Inuyasha and Miroku walked on in silence towards school. Both of their minds somewhere else. Miroku's mind was trained on the events that took place that morning. It seemed the feeling of Inuyasha's warmth was tattooed into his very bones. A feeling of warmth curled in the pit of his stomach, spreading through his limbs and turning his cheeks a rosy color.
Inuyasha's thoughts were focused on everything that had happened to him that whole weekend. From the first night until the night before, Inuyasha had suffered from a terrible want that scorched his very soul. His emotions had seemed to be going haywire. His skin felt like it was on fire, a fire that seemed to have been lit from the inside consuming all that he is. As of today, Inuyasha felt more like himself. The fire inside seemed to have died down, like a bucket of invisible water had been splashed on the firey feeling inside.
'The heats over' Inuyasha thought to himself
Inuyasha was brought out of his thoughts by Miroku.
"We're here."
Inuyasha was stunned to see that they has indeed reached their school. Today would be an interesting day.
----------------------------
Sesshomaru put down the novel he was reading, onto the night table by his bed. He massaged the bridge of his nose with a delicate index and thumb finger. With a deep sigh he stood up gracefully and strode over to his closet. Opening the door with a porcelain like hand, he eyed the contents. After a minute or two he settled on a white short sleeve shirt and light tan cargo pants and a clean pair of boxers. A cool shower sounded like a marvelous idea to his taunt and sweaty skin.
'Inuyasha will be the death of me' Was the last thing Sesshomaru thought before heading off to the bathroom totally unaware about what fate had in store for him.
-------------------------
( Inuyasha's p.o.v )
Miroku and I peered through the window of the back door to our homeroom class. The bell had already rung signaling that we were already late for class. Our breath came in long heaves as we attempted to assess the situation. Needless to say the odds did not look to be in our favor. Our only salvation was a co-up mission A, undergoing a hustle territory. Our lives were at risk but that was the price we paid surviving in the serves.
I looked over at Miroku and nodded my head, it was time to put our plan into action.
While Ms. Kikyou had her back turned to the class writing on the black board, Miroku and I, crouched down and snuck slowly like snakes into the classroom. With the patience equal to that of a stalker we made it to our seats seemingly unnoticed, well that’s what we thought.
(End Inuyasha’s P.O.V)
Kikyou’s hand glided over the black board with elegance and than suddenly stopped. She took a deep breath allowing the air to filter into all of her being, like a predator catching a whiff of her prey.
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion.
Kikyou turned to face the class taking another deep breath through her nose to confirm her suspicion. Her eyes let up like Christmas had come early. There, sitting no more then seven desks away was her prey…Inuyasha.
Inuyasha’s eyes boar into the desk, his hands clutched the desk in a vise like grip. The sounds of foot steps seem to echo off the walls as his worse nightmare walked slowly towards him. Every step closer that Kikyou stepped Inuyasha tense that much more. Her footsteps reminder him of the movie "Jarassic Park", where the T-Rex hunted the humans. Then the sounds of Kikyou’s steps stopped abruptly and the sound of saliva giving way to parting lips as Kikyou took a deep breath to speak.
"Well, well, well. Look what the cat brought in", said Kikyou with a sultry voice while leaning over Inuyasha’s desk to give him a close look at her cleavage. Leaning closer Kikyou continued her seductive advance whispering in Inuyasha’s ear. "What am I going to do? School ends at the end of this week and I won’t be able to see you until school starts-up next year. Maybe we should get together over the summer and have some…private lessons?"
Inuyasha shuttered in pure horror at Kikyou's suggestion. Unholy images flashed before his eyes that made his body break-out in a sweat. "No thank you" Inuyasha managed to choke out.
For a moment Kikyou looked crest fallen. Inuyasha and Miroku were the only students she had failed in seducing. However, Kikyou refused to believe that something was wrong with her womanly charm, clearly Inuyasha and Miroku were defected in some way. Well she would just have to fix that, nay? Leaning forward until her breast were practically under Inuyasha's nose, she continued her little scheme.
"Inuyasha, I believe you and I need to have a talk after school. Due to your persistent tardiness, I can only assume that you do not know how to tell time. Please stop by my classroom after school so I can help you with your this issue." Kikyou seem to purr out.
Inuyasha's face turned white in panic. There was no way in hell he would be lured into Kikyou's web of entrapment. His eyes search the classroom frantically for a way out of this dilemma. His eyes landed on Miroku who was sitting in the seat across from him.
( MIroku's P.O.V)
My eyes were completely fixed on the black board in the front of the room. I sunk low in my seat in order to make myself less noticeable. I held my breath as Ms. Kikyou passed me and stalked over to Inuyasha. I felt bad for my comrade but sadly there would always be casualties in war. Better him then me right? My ears picked-up on Kikyou's lecture and I winced inside. Poor Inuyasha, he has to come after school to be alone with the she devil. After a minute of silence I felt someone's eyes trained on me. Turing my head to the left I noticed Inuyasha was staring at me with eyes that seem to say 'if I'm going down, you're coming with me'. I narrowed my eyes. He better not be doing what I think he is. I mouthed the word 'no' at him in warning but he was to far gone in panic. My world came crashing down with Inuaysha's next sentence.
"Ms. Kikyou, I wasn't the only one late. Miroku here came in with me. Don't you think he should be punished along with me?" said Inuyasha with an innocent look at me.
"Oh dear me. Now that you mention it, I don't remember Miroku answering for attendance rolecall. Well Miroku it looks like you will have to come with Inuyasha to my class after school ends." Kikyou said with a smile.
Just when I thought my life couldn't get any worse the unthinkable happened. Inuyasha dug my grave even more.
"Ms. Kikyou I forgot to tell you that I have football game after school today due to the high school super-bowl." said Inuyasha with a grin that would make the devil proud.
"Oh dear, well I guess it will be just you and me Miroku. However, I can't let you off the hook completely Inuyasha. You're just as late as Miroku. I would like to speak to your father tomorrow before school starts." said Kikyou with false concern.
"But my father is on vacation right now in America." I heard Inuyasha reply.
"Well bring who ever is responsible for you while your father is away." Kikyou replied without fail.
"H-hai"
(End Miroku's P.o.V)
Homeroom came to an end at the sound of the bell. The students rushed out of their classrooms like locusts. The student body was comprised of all kinds. The seniors walked the halls looking at the younger classmen like they were all cockroaches waiting to be stepped on. The jocks walked the halls like they were Gods as everyone cleared a path for them. The freshman huddled together like a heard of sheep hoping that the theory 'safety in numbers' held up against the wolves aka the seniors, allowing then to flock to the fields another day. This was the so called highschool food chain.
High school food chain from top to bottom
Jocks: aka The Gods
Seniors: aka The Wolves
Juniors: aka The Hyenas
Freshmen: aka The Sheep or fresh meat
Nerds: aka phantoms (a/n their smart enough to know when to disappear)
In-between: aka The Sliders -- These people are the ones that don't fall into a category but have friends in high places that prevent them from being eaten on the food chain)
(a/n If your wondering: Inuyasha is a God and Miroku is a Slider because his best friend is Inuyasha a God)
Onto the story
"Inuyasha give me one reason why I shouldn't kick your ass for pulling that stunt?" Miroku asked while they walked to their next class. His eyebrow was twitching madly.
Inuyasha looked at his friend, sheepish. "Listen, high school is all about survival of the fittest. You had it coming to you anyway because you were going to let Kikyou jump me after school. Don't think I didn't see you slide down in your chair escape her radar."
"Well I can't help it that she has a nose like a blood hound." Miroku protested.
The bickering pair entered the classroom and took a seat at the back of the room next to the windows on the left side. Only stopping when their tow other friends entered the room and took a seat next to them.
"Hey Inuyasha and Miroku. Geeze, it's only first period and you two are already bickering like an old married couple." Kagome complained while grabbing a notebook out of her bookbag.
"Aww, don't be jealous, that Inuyasha pays more attention to me then you. I can't help it if I'm beautiful." Miroku said smoothly.
"As if. You perverted slider." Sango said while hitting Miroku over the head.
Before Miroku could give a come back the teacher walked in at the sound of the bell and called for silence. The class seemed to crawl by life a never ending vortex. Inuyasha thought he was going to go crazy. Every time he glanced at the clock the minute hand was still in the same place only moving a bit. Inuyasha turned his head to gaze out the window again only to fell something hit the back of his head. Turning around Inuyasha noticed Kagome was mouthing something to him and pointing to the bottom of his chair. Looking down Inuyasha saw a small folded piece of paper by his right foot. Bending down Inuyasha retrieved the offending piece of paper and opened it to read the content inside.
'How come you couldn't take me out on the promised date Saturday? You called to say you couldn't go but you didn't say why.' =(
Inuyasha blinked owlishly as he re-read the note. In truth, he did feel bad about blowing Kagome off but he was in no position to go out. He was in the middle of being in heat on Saturday and there was no way he would have been able to go. He gave a long sigh. There was no way he could tell Kagome the truth, she wouldn't have believed him even if he did, no-one would have. He quickly wrote down a reply.
' I wasn't feeling well, sorry' With that Inuyasha folded the piece of paper and slid it across the floor to Kagome's chair. Once he saw she had retrieved the note he turned his gaze back out the window.
Today was going to be a long day.
----
True to Inuyasha's thoughts, the day was indeed long. The bell had just rang informing the student population that lunch time had come. Thank God for small favors. The students ran to the lunch room like a heard of animals. Some scattered out of the building to sit on the lush green lawns, while others used this time to skip the rest of school and enjoy the wonderful sunny day. Every one seemed to be suffering from summer fever. That little itch you get at the end of the school year, counting down the days, hours, minutes, seconds, until school was over. During the last days of school, the class periods always seem longer, the class work even more pointless, and homework a thing of harsh punishment.
Not bothering to go the lunch room, Inuyasha set off for the nearest exit. When Miroku questioned where he was off to Inuyasha said he just didn't feel like be around so many people, which in part wasn't a total lie. Miroku shrugged an let his stomach led to way to the smell of food, catching up to Sango and Kagome along the way.
Inuyasha walked across the lush green lawn heading to his on school camps hide out. The place he went when he didn't want the world to see him. A few minutes later Inuyasha came to a giant weeping willow tree. It's long vain like branches weeping down to create a curtain, shielding the trees bark covered body. The leaves were a majestic violet golden color that sparkled with mischief. Inuyasha had lost count how many times he caught couples hiding behind the curtain like leaves, making out.
Inuyasha parted the curtain of leaves and slipped inside. His sanctuary wasn't completely shrouded in darkness, for light cascaded down from the top of the tree. Heaving a sigh Inuyasha walked over to the body of the tree and sat down with his back against the trunk of the tree and his legs Indian style. He closed his eye and let out another sigh. Here he could relax and forget about his moral inhibitions or lack thereof. He could forget about Sesshomaru, school, and his very own existence. He was able to lose himself in the space and time the tree offered. Here he was nothing and the outside world was nothing but a dream that tickled the out-skirts of his mind.
So deep in thought, Inuyasha didn't hear the soft footsteps that approached his sanctuary, nor did he hear the parting of the branches. A small frame of a person knelt down and crawled over to Inuyasha like a cat to its prey. A hand lifted to caress Inuyasha's cheek.
Inuyasha's eyes oddly didn't snap open. He was in no mood to care that someone of something was caressing his cheek, instead he leaned into the warmth, his nose rubbing against the delicate wrist. The mysterious person gasped in pleasure and slide a free hand into Inuyasha's thick black silken hair. Inuyasha purred, it had been so long since someone had touched him with warm hands. Some where in the back of his mind his demon senses could smell that he knew this person. He could also smell that this person meant him no harm, on the contrary, this person wanted to bring him pleasure judging by the smell of the persons arousal.
Then, without warning, the person leaned forward and pressed a feather like kiss on Inuyasha's lips. The person then straddled on Inuyasha's lap pressing their pelvis into Inuyasha's stomach. The person moaned out in need and something more against his lips. The moan struck a cord in Inuyasha. It felt so nice to be the one needed and wanted for a change and not be the one doing the chasing. With that thought in mind Inuyasha slid his tongue out to glide along the other persons bottom lip. This earned another needed moan and the person thrust their hips against Inuyasha's stomach with a slight cry of pleasure.
Inuyasha was floating on cloud nine. For once he was in control and someone needed him. Add on the fact that his eyes were still closed and didn't know who was straddling him, gave him a rush of adrenaline. Inuyasha sucked on the other persons bottom lip, while using his tongue to caress it.
"Aaahhha...." The unknown person above Inuyasha moaned out in excitement, wrapping his arms around Inuyasha allowing his hands to grab first full of jet black hair. "M-m-more.....p-please...I beg of you."
Inuyasha's insides were burning. Between the unknown person wiggling on his lap and the soft please and moan coming from his phantom lover was almost to much for him. He slid his hands down the other persons chest realizing the person on him was a guy, at the moment his fogged brain couldn't care less. The hands slid to the taunt stomach and under the shirt to caress skin. This action caused his phantom lover to hiss in pleasure of skin to skin contact. He let his hands slide over narrow hips to his phantom lovers lower back.
"Oh...God...P-p-please...m-more!" The unknown lover pleaded, tears rushing down Inuyasha's phantom lovers face, they were unknown, for Inuyasha still had his eyes closed.
Inuyasha couldn't help him self. All his pent up frustration was being unleashed. His hands slid from the lower back over two fleashy mounds giving his phantom lovers ass hard and soft caresses.
"Aaaahhhh....I-i-i-inuya...aaaaaaahhhhhha...oh God." The phantom lover choked out through parted rose like lips. "I've a-a-always had a c-c-crush on y-you..aaaahhhaa...I..w-w-want you Inuyasha."
Through a hazy mind Inuyasha could smell salt tears and the others need. Letting curiousity take over Inuyasha opened his eyes only to see a hand cover them trying to prevent him from seeing.
"Let me see you." Inuyasha whispered softly, a little afraid that this was all some kind of dream as if his mind had finally cracked from the lack of contact with Sesshomaru.
"No..." The answer sounded more like a small plea to Inuyasha.
"Why not?" Inuyasha persisted placing his hands on each side of his phantom lovers face. He could feel the wet tracks of tears."Why are you crying?"
"B-b-because I want you so bad that it h-h-hurts....oh God it's so p-p-painful" The mysterious person whispered in disappear. "I don't want you to hate me"
"I won't" Inuyasha whispered taking hold of the hand over his eyes and slowly removing it.
Inuyasha found himself looking into crystal blue eyes. Eyes that he could remember telling himself that he could drown in. His phantom lover had long flown golden hair down to his waist and curved around a beautiful creamy white skin.
"Amou....Amou Satoshi?" Inuyasha whispered into the air more to confirm it to him self.
"Konnichiwa....Inuyasha Shikon" Amou said with a small smile.
"Why are...I mean just now.....umm" Inuyasha couldn't put into words what it was he wanted to say. His thoughts scattering.
"I've been watching you since I transferred to this school. I've always felt compelled to watch you. Then when you saved me from the other football jerks I realized I cared deeply for you. I tried to tell you that time we met out side the boys locker room when you crashed into me but I chickened out." Amou said while looking down. He couldn't take looking into Inuyasha's intents violet eyes.
"I can understand if you don't want me. I remember what you told that rude guy Kouga about not being gay and not liking the act itself..."Amou's words trailed off. He couldn't finish his sentence because his throat closed up with helpless tears.
Inuyasha was speechless. What could he say to this confession? His heart belonged to Sesshomaru but he was his bother and deep inside Inuyasha knew it would never work out. maybe this is what he needed to take his mind off things? Maybe this is what it would take to stop obsessing over Sesshomaru and start living the so called normal life.
"Can I think about it?" Inuyasha said in a low voice.
Amou's head snapped up. His eyes searched Inuyasha's for some hidden meaning. "What?" He whispered, to scared to break this moment.
"You want to be with me right? As in boyfriend and uh...umm...boyfriend?" Inuyasha continued a little unsure of himself.
"Oh God yes. I would do anything for you." Amou answered with an emotion one would call love shinning in his eyes.
"Let me think about it. I will give you an answer on the last day of school." Inuyasha said while looking off to his right and blushing.
"R-r-really?" Amou persisted as if it was to good to be true.
"Yes." Inuyasha replied and then felt soft lips on his cheek.
"Arigato, Inuyasha-kun. I will wait for your answer." Amou got up and left Inuyasha to sit in silence.
----------
After that little scene Inuyasha didn't feel like going back to class so he did what any other growing adolescent did, he skipped the rest of school. Inuyasha walked along the schools electrical fence then jumped over it and set off for the creek down the street. Thoughts went in and out of his head faster then the speed of sound, leaving him utterly confused. At 7 o'clock he had to join his football team for the super-bowl high school game. They were going up against the mighty Black Ravens, who they lost to last year. Not to mention tomorrow Inuyasha had two more finals to take, one for English the other for History. He also remembered he had to deal with a pissed off Miroku after school let out, considering he got his buddy detention with Ms. Kikyou.
Inuyasha's thoughts then took a detour to Kagome. She was a nice girl but always shy around him for some reason. She was a little annoying sometimes but she was a good friend. Sango was cool to hang around but she was always busy beating up Miroku. Maybe she liked him? That thought went into thoughts about Miroku, his ever loyal friend who is with him no matter what. As of late he had been seeming down and out, like his mind was occupied with something else. Thinking of Miroku made Inuyasha remember the weird position they were in one day at Miroku's house.
'Was he going to kiss me? If he was, would I have let him? Better yet, would I have minded. No, I don't think I would have.' That last thought scared the shit out of Inuyasha. All of a sudden he was confronted with all different questions about his sexuality and preference. Amou then came to mind and Inuyasha found himself even more confused. 'What do I feel for Amou? I don't even know him but I feel oddly safe with him.'
Looking down at his watch Inuyasha knowing that school was going to be over in ten minutes. Turning around he headed back to the school building, over the fence, up the stairs and into the building. As he made his was up to Kikyou's classroom the bell rung signaling the end of another gruesome day. Bodies went rolling and sailing down the stairs. Students craming at the exits trying to get out of the brick like over school. Students realizing that freedom was just beyond the hard plastered walls and past the red 'Exit' doors.
Finally getting to the classroom he desired, Inuyasha opened the door and what lay behind it made Inuyasha's jaw drop to the ground. Kikyou straddled Miroku on her desk with his shirt open kissing down his chest. Miroku looked over to Inuyasha with a scared and pleading look.
Once snapping out of his thoughts Inuyasha cleared his throat. "Hem, hem, Ms.Kikyou?"
Kikyou's head shot up like a fire cracker. Inuyasha actually thought for a moment that her head was going to explode. "I-i-i-inuyasha, I wasn't expecting you after school." Kikyou said while getting of Miroku.
Once free Miroku jumped off the desk, buttoned up his shirt and ran to Inuyasha's side. "Thanks your a life saver" Inuyasha said while hugging his best friend and loveing every minute of the contact.
"Ms. Kikyou, I forgot to mention that Miroku was issued to help the football players get ready for tonights game so if your done with him can he be excused?" Inuyasha asked with a sweet voice.
"Well of course Inuyasha. Don't forget that you have to bring a guardian to school tomorrow before school starts." Kikyou said while buttoning her own shirt up.
"Of course." Inuyasha replied before him and Miroku bolted down the hallway.
----
"Thanks" Miroku said as both boys made it out of the school building and down the front steps.
"No problem. It was my fault anyway" Inuyasha said with a shrug.
"What time is it?" Miroku questioned.
"Almost four o'clock. We have about three hours before the super-bowl game but I have to come back to school at six o'clock to get ready for the game at 7:00 pm." Inuyasha said.
"I'll come early with you so I can get a good seat to watch the game." Miroku said then added in his mind, ' And you of course.'
Inuyasha didn't reply he was transfixed to the sight in front of them. Miroku noticed Inuyasha halt once the stepped off the last step and looked forward. There, was a black BMW car that belonged to one person...Sesshomaru. Miroku and Inuyasha realized that this meant Inuyasha was able to finally go home. Miroku and Inuyasha walked over to the car, neither saying anything. Miroku took his usually seat in the back behind the passenger seat and Inuyasha took the front passanger seat.
Sesshomaru started driving without a word. The car was shrouded in silence. Inuyasha stared out the window determinely and Miroku did the same. Soon the trio reached Miroku's house.
"I'll see you at the game Inuyasha." Miroku said as he got out.
"Yeah, see you." Was the only thing Inuyasha could manage to get out without his voice cracking.
Soon the duo arrived home. Sesshomaru turned the car off and popped the anti-locks so they could get out. Once he and Inuyasha were out, Sesshomaru pushed the alarm button on the car and walked up to the houses front door. Sesshomaru unlocked it and held it open for Inuyasha. Once the door was shut and locked Inuyasha walked into the pallor taken off his book bag and sitting on the couch. Before Inuyasha could even blink he found himself pinned to the couch with Sesshomaru between his legs.
"What the..!" Inuyasha trailed off when he saw Sesshomaru's concealing spell come off and his eyes turn red in anger.
"What the fuck is this male smell all over you? It smell like you let some filthy human who was aroused touch you?!" Sesshomaru spat out, for the first time not being able to control his anger and probably that the last.
Not waiting for an answer Sesshomaru lowered his nose to Inuyasha's lips the pushed down Inuyasha's body and lifted Inuyasha shirt revealing his younger brothers stomach. He then pushed his to Inuyasha's skin and smelt his navel. His toungue danced out of his mouth to taste the skin below the navel. Inuyasha couldn't help but moan.
Sesshomaru bolted off Inuyasha and looked down into Inuyasha's confused and needing eyes.
"You fucking whore! Who did you let kiss you and hump you?! Are you some kind of whore that will give it up to anyone!" Sesshomaru hissed out. "Don't try to fucking lie I can smell him all over you!"
Inuyasha's eyes filled with tears. He didn't no what to do. Didn't know what to say. Was he a whore for kissing Amou? Could he be considered one even though he officially didn't have a lover?
"S-s-sesshomaru, I didn't...I mean..it was just.....it's not what you think" Inuyasha pleaded. The tears finally flowing down his cheeks. His concealing spell melting away.
"You disgust me." Sesshomaru spat before turning around and marching up the stairs to his room, slamming the door for good measure.
Inuyasha crumpled to the floor in agony. Sobs preventing him from breathing.
"Oh..God..no.....please....I need him." Inuyasha cried out. His agony to great, his need to strong, and his ever growing hunger unsatisfied.
After sitting on the floor for what seemed like eternity. Inuyasha looked over to the clock above the TV. It read 5:30 PM. Lifting his crumpled body from off the floor Inuyasha winced in pain from a headache. He looked up the stairs in deep longing then left the house out the front door. He would have to start walking to school now if he was going to make it to school by six o'clock. Inuyasha knew full well that Sesshomaru would not give him a ride there. The thought of Sesshomaru brought tears, stinging at the corners of his eyes.
"No I will not cry. I didn't do anything wrong." Inuyasha said to the humid wind and harshly wiping at his eyes to dispel the tears.
---------
Miroku ran towards his high school. It was 6:30 PM and the Football game would be kicking off at 7:00 PM. He took a nap when he got home and woke up late. His lungs were burning and his legs ached as he ran full speed towards his destination. Soon the schools open black iron gates came to into view. Miroku gave a last burst of speed and sped through. He had ten minutes to find a seat in the bleachers before the game started. He walked over the schools lawn and to the back of the school where a huge football field was and bleachers. Miroku groaned, there were already hundreds of people there waiting for the game to start and Miroku could see more coming from the packed school parking lot. It would be hell finding a seat.
Inuyasha and his team mates huddled together in the locker room dressed in neat jersey. Every Players jersey was Blood Red with the name of the football team on the front "Devils", with as picture of a devil holding a pitch fork with horns and a pointed tail on front. One the back of the players jersey were there names and player numbers. Their pants were a simple white that came down to the middle of their shins. Red socks rose up to meet the pants. Their helmets were white with two red strips down the middle and the same devil from their shirts was on the right and left side of the helmets.
"Listen up everyone" The coach shouted out into the locker room. All became quiet as the players listened to the pre-game speech.
"Last year we lost the super-bowl to those flying fuck heads that call them selves the 'Black Ravens'. This year, I say with pay back the favor and send those mother fuckers back to the cornfields were they belong!"
A cheer sounded through out the locker room. Players butting helmets together. Shouts of "Fuck yeah!" and "Lets kick some Ass".
The coach raised his hand for silence and the player gave just that. "Any words from our captain?" Every one turned to Inuyasha.
"I just got one thing to say. Instead of having turkey for Thanksgiving, I say we have ourselves some fucking Black Ravens!" Inuyasha finished by butting his helmet against Kouga's as every felt the adrenaline pump within them. No one could describe the pure rush before a game and the downhill experience after it, like the share drop on the other side of a mountain. This was the spirit of football and it tasted damn good.
"Alright boys let go kick some little birdy ass, this is our house!" Kouga shouted while the players ran out the locker room and towards the exit and out to the field.
(a/n When Kouga says house he is referring to the fact that they are playing at their school. In any sport you will either travel and kick peoples ass on their home turf or kick ass at your home. Home = your school. It's good playing at home because you have home advantage.)
The crowded roared to life as the players ran onto the field. Chants of "Gooooooooo Devil's" erupted from the crowds
As Inuyasha ran onto the field and took his position as quarter back he looked up at the hundreds of people screaming for a good game. A smile came to his lips. This is what he an all the players lived for. You couldn't help but feel on top of the world when hundreds of people were screaming your name. Nothing felt better than tackling a man before he got a touch down. To taste you own sweat and know that you were tasting pure hard work and that every one was waiting with baited breaths to see you make the final touch down to win the game.
Then the game began.
Inuyasha and the players played fierce. Hiten and Mantan two huge line defenders held off a swarm of boy trying to get Inuyasha. Inuyasha scanned down the field and saw Kouga running down the field like the devil was at his heel. No pun intended. Inuyasha cocked his arm back and let the football spiral with precise aim. It was like poetry in motion. Kouga leapt into the air grabbed the football and rushed 52 yards. It was a story that would be told for a long time. Screams went up into the night air. The devils were finally gaining some ground at the end of the 2nd quarter.
In the third quarter penalties were being called left and right.
"Offense, number 32, holding, 5 yard penalty" Moans and curses went up into the air. All civilness went out the window for the 'Black Ravens' as they started playing dirty they were down by seven points.
Finally by the end of the 4th quarter, when the score was tied the moment of truth and who would be the victor arrived. Both teams were caked in mud thanks to the light summer drizzle and tackling. Sweat ran into all the players eyes. The 'Black Ravens' called for their last time out to put a hold on the clock. The was stopped at the two minute countdown.
Inuyasha rounded his own players to explain the new play.
"Listen up everyone because I'm only going to say this once. Where going to run the 'live wire' play. Kouga, I want your ass down at the other end of the field by the time I yell 'Huht, huht' you got that?" asked Inuyasha while looking at Kouga.
"You got it baby. They won't touch me." replied Kouga with a smirk.
"Alright lets go ladies. One, two, three, break."
The players took their positions on the field while the audiance held their breath. It all happened in slow motion.
Inuyasha yelled 'huht, huht' Hiten and Mantan came up the rear while Kouga went up the middle and sprinted off to the other end of the field. That's when everything went wrong. Kouga didn't notice a line defender coming up behind him until it was to late, he was tackled to the ground. Inuyasha quickly looked for his other runner Souta but he was held up ten yards away. Inuyasha only had one choice. He has to run his fucking ass off and cover 32 yards for a touch down.
Inuyasha faked a pass to Kyo and sprinted up the middle. A moment later he could hear Kyo being tackled from behind by five players. Once they realized it was a fake Inuyasha only had 12 more yards to cover. As he Inuyasha got closer to make a touch down he saw someone coming up his right side and left. He was cornered and all his men where held up 20 yards behind him. No one would make it in time.
The crowd held their breath, even the announcer became deathly quiet as the scene infront of them unfolded. As the two players came at Inuyasha from his left and right, their hands out stretched to grab hold clutching at his shirt. At that moment the crowd was struck in awe at Inuyasha last move.
Inuyasha twisted his body to free him self from the hands trying to grab hold and did a backflip landing for a touchdown, ball still clutched in his hands. The only thing that could be heard were the crickets and the humming mosquitoes. The a lone figure raced out onto the filled and through his arms around Inuyasha and screamed
"We won! You did it!" Miroku said and did the most unexpected thing, he kissed Inuyasha fully on the mouth with such passion it made both their hearts race.
The crowd with wild with cheers screaming "We won!! We won!!"
Kouga and the other players stared at Inuyasha. Then without warning Kouga smiled at Inuyasha from over Miroku's shoulder.
"Hey Inuyasha." Kouga called
Inuyasha parted from the kiss and looked over at Kouga stunned. "Uhh--Yeah?"
"I don't mind if you go for the other team as long as I don't catch you checking me out in the locker room." Kouga said with a smirk
"Like I ever do that. Your not even handsome." Inuyasha teased but was relieved all the same.
Kouga gave him the middle finger and turned to his other team mates that were jumping up and down in joy. Inuyasha, who was still in Miroku's embrace, looked up at his friend in question.
"Umm sorry I got a little carried away." Miroku said with a blush, still not releasing Inuyasha from his hold.
" Then you won't mind if I retaliate" before Miroku could question Inuyasha. He felt Inuyasha's lips against his. Shyly Inuyasha rubbed his tongue against Miroku's bottom lip. Miroku sucked Inuyasha's tongue into his mouth bring a moan from both of them.When they parted both were breathing hard. Miroku knew the kiss didn't mean to much to Inuyasha but just having his object of desire kiss him back, just this once, made Miroku the happiest person in the world.
After going to the after game football party to celebrate Inuyasha trudged home. On the way there the memories of the fight he had with Sesshomaru early came rushing back. Once again Inuyasha felt dirty for kissing someone else. Looking back he wished he could take back the kiss he had with Amou and now Miroku. Shame filled him taking away the happiness the game gave him.
Upon arriving home Inuyasha noticed a car parked along his brothers black BMW.
"Could it be?" Inuyasha whispered into the night air. "Dads back!"
Inuyasha dashed up to the front door and swung it open. There, in the pallor, sat his father, his brother, and a strange women who cradled a sleeping little boy with ox ears and tail. 'What the fuck is going on?' Inuyasha thought to himself.
"Welcome home Inuyasha. I would like you to meet your new mother Azul and your new step brother Shippo." Inutaisho said calmly like he was talking about the weather and not dropping a bomb on his sons life.
"W-what?" was the only thing Inuyasha could say before blacking out.

Flames of Purgatory
Chapter: 7 Part I
"If you put it in I will have to kill you." Inuyasha growled, paused and ready to pounce on his prey.
"Let me just put it in this time and next time I'll let you do it" Said Miroku seriously
"Never. I will have what is mine and you will surrender to me." Inuyasha said completely ready to kill the perverted monk.
"If you truly love me Inuyasha, you will let me put it in" Miroku said unblinkingly.
"And I told you I will not break my pride and let you put it in" Inuyasha snarled in anger. This argument had been going on for more then twenty minutes and frankly didn't seem to be going any where.
The two boys were currently sprawled out on Miroku's bedroom floor, Playstation 2 controllers in their hands, playing, "Deadly Fighter Full of Sin". Inuyasha had unlocked a new player and Miroku was insisting that Inuyasha put his name as the high score player since it was his game. Inuyasha, however felt he worked hard to get as far as he did even though they had fought the enemy in joint battle, but he clearly felt he deserved the number one spot and apparently the PS2 had agreed because it asked the number 2 controller to log in his name as top scorer. Miroku on the other had was livid because he clearly gave the beast the last blow, so even if Inuyasha had two more experience points than himself, he clearly defeated the beast and not Inuyasha, regardless what the damn PS2 said!
"You heartless bastard. How can you do this to me?" Miroku proclaimed with fake tears in his eye that threatened to spill at any moment.
"Cut it out you freaky pervert. What's fair is fair." Inuyasha said unfazed by the fake unshed tears.
"Oh woe is me. Why must I endure such hardships?" Miroku continued even though Inuyasha was giving him a death glare. "Have you no heart? Have you no compassion? Spare an old man his dignity and let me-" Miroku's flamboyant speech was interrupted by Inuyasha's lash out of rage.
"Old man! You're only older then me by two months!" Inuyasha yelled not believing his ears.
"Honestly Inuyasha I thought you would have more respect for your friends. Sadly I was mistaken." Miroku said while pouting and getting off the floor to take a seat on his bed.
For the past two days, Inuyasha found himself coming over Miroku's house after school to sleep over. His mind was in utter turmoil. His body ached with a desire stronger then anything known to man. The nights seemed unbearable. Inuyasha found himself being rocked to sleep while crying for Sesshomaru these past two nights. During the day Inuyasha's emotions felt like they were on their own private roller-coaster. He was ten times worse then a girl PMSing or a women going through menopause. He was always hungry and sweating like someone was cooking his ass in a toaster. The pain in his abdomen was a constant searing pain. Don't let us forget the mood swings. One minute Inuyasha could be yelling at Miroku for eating his food to loudly at breakfast or breathing to loudly at night and the next thing you know, Inuyasha would start crying with his body racking from the force of the tears.
Miroku was brought out of his distractions at the sound of a 'beep'. Looking over to the T.V Miroku saw his name on the screen. Apparently Inuyasha had placed Miroku's name instead of his as the number one player, then reached over to shut down the gaming system.
"Inu-" Miroku began but got cut off by Inuyasha
"I'm sorry M-M-Miroku, I didn't m-m-mean to be such an ass" Inuyasha whispered with his head bowed as he sat on the floor hiding his face behind his bangs.
"No, Inuyasha I'm sorry. I was only playing with you, I didn't mean to get you so upset-" Miroku stopped mid sentence when he heard a soft whimper come from Inuyasha. 'Is Inuyasha crying?' Miroku thought to himself.
Silently Miroku got up from the bed and walked over to his friend. Kneeling down, Miroku took Inuyasha into his arms. Inuyasha quickly embraced the warm body that Miroku offered, his arms wrapping around Miroku's waist while pressing his face into Miroku's chest trying to smother his sobs.
"Hush Inuyasha. I'm here, it's ok" Miroku whispered into Inuyasha's ear while rubbing circles with his hand on Inuyasha's back trying to calm the distraught hanyou.
Slowly Inuyasha's concealing spell vanished leaving Inuyasha in his true form. Miroku's eyes widen at the sudden change. This wasn't the first time that Miroku saw Inuyasha in his true form however, he had never seen the transformation happen, until now. It was amazing to see Inuyasha waist length raven hair turn to a inhuman like silver. His human ears vanishing, to transform on top of his head like dog ears that looked furry and so touchable. Although Miroku couldn't see Inuyasha's face, he knew Inuyasha's eyes had change too, a molted golden color that rivaled the sun and shinier then any diamond on Earth. Inuyasha's finger nails clenched into the back of Miroku's shirt turning to claws, ripping Miroku's shirt a little.
The silence was broken by Inuyasha small voice. "I miss him Miroku.
" Why doesn't he answer the phone when I call...?
...Miroku couldn't answer.
"Why doesn't he c-c-call me back when I leave messages on the a-a-answer machine...?" Inuyasha continued while stuttering.
...Miroku couldn't answer.
" Why won't he answer the door when I try to see him...?"
Miroku didn't have any of the answers to his dearest friends questions, but by the Gods did he wish he did. Miroku wished he could shield Inuyasha from the world. He wished he could take away all of Inuyasha's pain. The hardest part was that Miroku knew he couldn't. The only person with that power was the one Inuyasha loved...Sesshomaru. Miroku's heart ached at the mentioned Seshomaru's name. He loved Inuyasha so much that it sometimes hurt to breath, to eat, even to live. Miroku vowed a long time ago that he would keep his feelings secret so that way Inuyasha could get with Sesshomaru without worrying about his feelings. He knew Inuyasha had too big of a heart to hurt him and therefore would abandon his own chance at happiness for his sake.
'No. I will not let that happen. Inuyasha deserves to be happy no matter what it does to my heart' Miroku thought to him self. Slowly, Miroku rubbed soothing circles on Inuyasha's back trying to get him to relax. The tension in Inuyasha's back lessened with Miroku's ministrations. "Hush Inuyasha. Everything will be fine, go to sleep." Miroku whispered to the shaking hanyou.
"Will you be here with me when I wake?" Inuyasha asked with a small voice.
"Yes"
"Promise.." Inuyasha persisted as his foggy mind drifted off to the realm of sleep.
"Always." Miroku answered while picking the other boy up and placing him in bed. He tucked Inuyasha in and kissed him of the forehead before laying down himself spooning his body to fit against Inuyasha's smaller frame.
-------
The passage of time was not kind to Sesshomaru. He looked like a train rack. His features and body appearance unkept. His hair sticking out all which ways and full of static from Sesshomaru running his fingers through his hair. Needless to say, Sesshomaru was going through withdrawals and was worst off then Inuyasha. His days seemed like hell and his nights were ten times worst then that. He craved Inuyasha in ways that were just plain sinful. Normally, craving someone wouldn't cause an issue with Sesshomaru however, the person he wanted more then anything else in the world just so happened to be his half-brother....Inuyasha.
Flash Back # 1
After dropping Inuyasha off at Miroku's house, with his bag of clothes, Sesshomaru took off like a bat out of hell, racing home. With haste, Sesshomaru made his way to the side door of the house. Swiftly taking out a set of keys he unlocked the door and jetted inside. His heart was drumming frantically in his ears. His sense were going haywire. His concealing spell melted away leaving his molted golden eyes to be seen with all their beauty.
His body ached feverishly, all his muscles taunt with a physical need. His heart constricted painfully in his chest with an urge for something that he never asked for nor wanted.
End Flash Back # 1
Flash Back # 2 (note, this takes place the 2nd day Inuyasha was dropped off at Miroku's)
Sesshomaru dragged his stiff frame into the solitary house. Although his facial features looked placid and calm, the inside was far from that, for on the inside he was an emotional wreck.
He had spent the whole day taking care of loose ends. First he went to his college professors office to sign a few documents that stated he could take the rest of his classes off until the end of summer. Then he traveled to the bank to make a few transactions to pay the bills. After all, Sesshomaru was in charge of the house until their father returned and who knew when that would be. ( A/N LOL little did he know...)
Throughout the whole day, Sesshomaru suffered from a fiery hot pin pricks that continuously stabbed at his skin with a vengeance. It seemed a fire was lit inside his body, ever so slowly eating away at his sanity. His face looked to all the world calm and collected but his inner demon was screaming for the hanyou...his enemy...his brother....Inuyasha.
End Flash Back # 2
Flash Back # 3 ( note, this takes place during the 3rd day after Inuyasha was left at Miroku's )
Sesshomaru looked down at the answer machine with a pensive look. The red light blinked on and off in a mocking way, indicating that there were messages, waiting to be heard. With a steady finger, Sesshomaru pushed the play button. His blood ran cold when he heard the following messages.
Massage # 1 - day - Friday
"Sesshomaru, it's me Inuyasha. I'm just calling to tell you how much of a fucked-up asshole you are. I'll never forgive you
End Massage # 1 -----Beep----
Massage # 2 - day - Saturday
"Sesshomaru......." The voice died down low like the speaker was struggling with some unseen desire. "What's wrong with me? I.....I...feel so hot.....please let me come home." The voice broke off for a moment as Inuyasha's breath caught. "I want to come home... please Sesshomaru?"
End Massage # 2 ----Beep----
Massage # 3 - day - Sunday
"Sesshomaru!!!" Inuyasha screamed histarically, sobbing could be heard over the line. "I tried to come home today but you locked the fucking door!" Inuyasha's sobs increased. "...Please...I just want to go home...I want to be next to..." The voice cut off and than the line went dead.
End Flash Back # 3
***present time ---- Monday morning ***
Miroku woke to the sound of an alarm clock and with the feeling of a stiff back. Through squinting eyes, Miroku scanned his surroundings. He was in his bedroom that much he was sure of however, he was also aware of a delicious warmth pressed against his chest and right side. Looking down to find the source of the warmth, the sight that confronted him made his eyes snap wide open.
Inuyasha laid cuddled up against Miroku's right side, with his head nestled under his chin, sleeping soundlessly. Miroku's breath caught then quickened. He was faced with a tremendous paradox. He knew he needed to wake Inuyasha up now or both of them would be late for school and have to deal with their homeroom teacher, Kikyou. On the other hand, he would rather die than lose the warmth that Inuyasha's body created. Alas, his commonsense won out in the end and with a loud sigh, Miroku shook Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Inuyasha, wake up it's time for school," Miroku said with a dejected voice.
Ever so slowly, the lids of Inuyasha's eyes slipped open. He scanned his surroundings not really sure of where he was. Slowly Inuyasha sat up wincing when his back gave a few snapping sounds. Now fully awake, Inuyasha noticed Miroku was up and gathering his cloths for school. Tiredly, Inuyasha stood up from the rug covered floor and stretched.
"What time is it?" Inuyasha asked with a yawn.
"We have twenty minutes to get ready and eat breakfast, then we have to leave or we will be late for school." Miroku said while walking over to the bathroom door, clothes in hand and a smile on his face.
----------------
Inuyasha and Miroku walked on in silence towards school. Both of their minds somewhere else. Miroku's mind was trained on the events that took place that morning. It seemed the feeling of Inuyasha's warmth was tattooed into his very bones. A feeling of warmth curled in the pit of his stomach, spreading through his limbs and turning his cheeks a rosy color.
Inuyasha's thoughts were focused on everything that had happened to him that whole weekend. From the first night until the night before, Inuyasha had suffered from a terrible want that scorched his very soul. His emotions had seemed to be going haywire. His skin felt like it was on fire, a fire that seemed to have been lit from the inside consuming all that he is. As of today, Inuyasha felt more like himself. The fire inside seemed to have died down, like a bucket of invisible water had been splashed on the firey feeling inside.
'The heats over' Inuyasha thought to himself
Inuyasha was brought out of his thoughts by Miroku.
"We're here."
Inuyasha was stunned to see that they has indeed reached their school. Today would be an interesting day.
----------------------------
Sesshomaru put down the novel he was reading, onto the night table by his bed. He massaged the bridge of his nose with a delicate index and thumb finger. With a deep sigh he stood up gracefully and strode over to his closet. Opening the door with a porcelain like hand, he eyed the contents. After a minute or two he settled on a white short sleeve shirt and light tan cargo pants and a clean pair of boxers. A cool shower sounded like a marvelous idea to his taunt and sweaty skin.
'Inuyasha will be the death of me' Was the last thing Sesshomaru thought before heading off to the bathroom totally unaware about what fate had in store for him.
-------------------------
( Inuyasha's p.o.v )
Miroku and I peered through the window of the back door to our homeroom class. The bell had already rung signaling that we were already late for class. Our breath came in long heaves as we attempted to assess the situation. Needless to say the odds did not look to be in our favor. Our only salvation was a co-up mission A, undergoing a hustle territory. Our lives were at risk but that was the price we paid surviving in the serves.
I looked over at Miroku and nodded my head, it was time to put our plan into action.
While Ms. Kikyou had her back turned to the class writing on the black board, Miroku and I, crouched down and snuck slowly like snakes into the classroom. With the patience equal to that of a stalker we made it to our seats seemingly unnoticed, well that’s what we thought.
(End Inuyasha’s P.O.V)
Kikyou’s hand glided over the black board with elegance and than suddenly stopped. She took a deep breath allowing the air to filter into all of her being, like a predator catching a whiff of her prey.
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion.
Kikyou turned to face the class taking another deep breath through her nose to confirm her suspicion. Her eyes let up like Christmas had come early. There, sitting no more then seven desks away was her prey…Inuyasha.
Inuyasha’s eyes boar into the desk, his hands clutched the desk in a vise like grip. The sounds of foot steps seem to echo off the walls as his worse nightmare walked slowly towards him. Every step closer that Kikyou stepped Inuyasha tense that much more. Her footsteps reminder him of the movie "Jarassic Park", where the T-Rex hunted the humans. Then the sounds of Kikyou’s steps stopped abruptly and the sound of saliva giving way to parting lips as Kikyou took a deep breath to speak.
"Well, well, well. Look what the cat brought in", said Kikyou with a sultry voice while leaning over Inuyasha’s desk to give him a close look at her cleavage. Leaning closer Kikyou continued her seductive advance whispering in Inuyasha’s ear. "What am I going to do? School ends at the end of this week and I won’t be able to see you until school starts-up next year. Maybe we should get together over the summer and have some…private lessons?"
Inuyasha shuttered in pure horror at Kikyou's suggestion. Unholy images flashed before his eyes that made his body break-out in a sweat. "No thank you" Inuyasha managed to choke out.
For a moment Kikyou looked crest fallen. Inuyasha and Miroku were the only students she had failed in seducing. However, Kikyou refused to believe that something was wrong with her womanly charm, clearly Inuyasha and Miroku were defected in some way. Well she would just have to fix that, nay? Leaning forward until her breast were practically under Inuyasha's nose, she continued her little scheme.
"Inuyasha, I believe you and I need to have a talk after school. Due to your persistent tardiness, I can only assume that you do not know how to tell time. Please stop by my classroom after school so I can help you with your this issue." Kikyou seem to purr out.
Inuyasha's face turned white in panic. There was no way in hell he would be lured into Kikyou's web of entrapment. His eyes search the classroom frantically for a way out of this dilemma. His eyes landed on Miroku who was sitting in the seat across from him.
( MIroku's P.O.V)
My eyes were completely fixed on the black board in the front of the room. I sunk low in my seat in order to make myself less noticeable. I held my breath as Ms. Kikyou passed me and stalked over to Inuyasha. I felt bad for my comrade but sadly there would always be casualties in war. Better him then me right? My ears picked-up on Kikyou's lecture and I winced inside. Poor Inuyasha, he has to come after school to be alone with the she devil. After a minute of silence I felt someone's eyes trained on me. Turing my head to the left I noticed Inuyasha was staring at me with eyes that seem to say 'if I'm going down, you're coming with me'. I narrowed my eyes. He better not be doing what I think he is. I mouthed the word 'no' at him in warning but he was to far gone in panic. My world came crashing down with Inuaysha's next sentence.
"Ms. Kikyou, I wasn't the only one late. Miroku here came in with me. Don't you think he should be punished along with me?" said Inuyasha with an innocent look at me.
"Oh dear me. Now that you mention it, I don't remember Miroku answering for attendance rolecall. Well Miroku it looks like you will have to come with Inuyasha to my class after school ends." Kikyou said with a smile.
Just when I thought my life couldn't get any worse the unthinkable happened. Inuyasha dug my grave even more.
"Ms. Kikyou I forgot to tell you that I have football game after school today due to the high school super-bowl." said Inuyasha with a grin that would make the devil proud.
"Oh dear, well I guess it will be just you and me Miroku. However, I can't let you off the hook completely Inuyasha. You're just as late as Miroku. I would like to speak to your father tomorrow before school starts." said Kikyou with false concern.
"But my father is on vacation right now in America." I heard Inuyasha reply.
"Well bring who ever is responsible for you while your father is away." Kikyou replied without fail.
"H-hai"
(End Miroku's P.o.V)
Homeroom came to an end at the sound of the bell. The students rushed out of their classrooms like locusts. The student body was comprised of all kinds. The seniors walked the halls looking at the younger classmen like they were all cockroaches waiting to be stepped on. The jocks walked the halls like they were Gods as everyone cleared a path for them. The freshman huddled together like a heard of sheep hoping that the theory 'safety in numbers' held up against the wolves aka the seniors, allowing then to flock to the fields another day. This was the so called highschool food chain.
High school food chain from top to bottom
Jocks: aka The Gods
Seniors: aka The Wolves
Juniors: aka The Hyenas
Freshmen: aka The Sheep or fresh meat
Nerds: aka phantoms (a/n their smart enough to know when to disappear)
In-between: aka The Sliders -- These people are the ones that don't fall into a category but have friends in high places that prevent them from being eaten on the food chain)
(a/n If your wondering: Inuyasha is a God and Miroku is a Slider because his best friend is Inuyasha a God)
Onto the story
"Inuyasha give me one reason why I shouldn't kick your ass for pulling that stunt?" Miroku asked while they walked to their next class. His eyebrow was twitching madly.
Inuyasha looked at his friend, sheepish. "Listen, high school is all about survival of the fittest. You had it coming to you anyway because you were going to let Kikyou jump me after school. Don't think I didn't see you slide down in your chair escape her radar."
"Well I can't help it that she has a nose like a blood hound." Miroku protested.
The bickering pair entered the classroom and took a seat at the back of the room next to the windows on the left side. Only stopping when their tow other friends entered the room and took a seat next to them.
"Hey Inuyasha and Miroku. Geeze, it's only first period and you two are already bickering like an old married couple." Kagome complained while grabbing a notebook out of her bookbag.
"Aww, don't be jealous, that Inuyasha pays more attention to me then you. I can't help it if I'm beautiful." Miroku said smoothly.
"As if. You perverted slider." Sango said while hitting Miroku over the head.
Before Miroku could give a come back the teacher walked in at the sound of the bell and called for silence. The class seemed to crawl by life a never ending vortex. Inuyasha thought he was going to go crazy. Every time he glanced at the clock the minute hand was still in the same place only moving a bit. Inuyasha turned his head to gaze out the window again only to fell something hit the back of his head. Turning around Inuyasha noticed Kagome was mouthing something to him and pointing to the bottom of his chair. Looking down Inuyasha saw a small folded piece of paper by his right foot. Bending down Inuyasha retrieved the offending piece of paper and opened it to read the content inside.
'How come you couldn't take me out on the promised date Saturday? You called to say you couldn't go but you didn't say why.' =(
Inuyasha blinked owlishly as he re-read the note. In truth, he did feel bad about blowing Kagome off but he was in no position to go out. He was in the middle of being in heat on Saturday and there was no way he would have been able to go. He gave a long sigh. There was no way he could tell Kagome the truth, she wouldn't have believed him even if he did, no-one would have. He quickly wrote down a reply.
' I wasn't feeling well, sorry' With that Inuyasha folded the piece of paper and slid it across the floor to Kagome's chair. Once he saw she had retrieved the note he turned his gaze back out the window.
Today was going to be a long day.
----
True to Inuyasha's thoughts, the day was indeed long. The bell had just rang informing the student population that lunch time had come. Thank God for small favors. The students ran to the lunch room like a heard of animals. Some scattered out of the building to sit on the lush green lawns, while others used this time to skip the rest of school and enjoy the wonderful sunny day. Every one seemed to be suffering from summer fever. That little itch you get at the end of the school year, counting down the days, hours, minutes, seconds, until school was over. During the last days of school, the class periods always seem longer, the class work even more pointless, and homework a thing of harsh punishment.
Not bothering to go the lunch room, Inuyasha set off for the nearest exit. When Miroku questioned where he was off to Inuyasha said he just didn't feel like be around so many people, which in part wasn't a total lie. Miroku shrugged an let his stomach led to way to the smell of food, catching up to Sango and Kagome along the way.
Inuyasha walked across the lush green lawn heading to his on school camps hide out. The place he went when he didn't want the world to see him. A few minutes later Inuyasha came to a giant weeping willow tree. It's long vain like branches weeping down to create a curtain, shielding the trees bark covered body. The leaves were a majestic violet golden color that sparkled with mischief. Inuyasha had lost count how many times he caught couples hiding behind the curtain like leaves, making out.
Inuyasha parted the curtain of leaves and slipped inside. His sanctuary wasn't completely shrouded in darkness, for light cascaded down from the top of the tree. Heaving a sigh Inuyasha walked over to the body of the tree and sat down with his back against the trunk of the tree and his legs Indian style. He closed his eye and let out another sigh. Here he could relax and forget about his moral inhibitions or lack thereof. He could forget about Sesshomaru, school, and his very own existence. He was able to lose himself in the space and time the tree offered. Here he was nothing and the outside world was nothing but a dream that tickled the out-skirts of his mind.
So deep in thought, Inuyasha didn't hear the soft footsteps that approached his sanctuary, nor did he hear the parting of the branches. A small frame of a person knelt down and crawled over to Inuyasha like a cat to its prey. A hand lifted to caress Inuyasha's cheek.
Inuyasha's eyes oddly didn't snap open. He was in no mood to care that someone of something was caressing his cheek, instead he leaned into the warmth, his nose rubbing against the delicate wrist. The mysterious person gasped in pleasure and slide a free hand into Inuyasha's thick black silken hair. Inuyasha purred, it had been so long since someone had touched him with warm hands. Some where in the back of his mind his demon senses could smell that he knew this person. He could also smell that this person meant him no harm, on the contrary, this person wanted to bring him pleasure judging by the smell of the persons arousal.
Then, without warning, the person leaned forward and pressed a feather like kiss on Inuyasha's lips. The person then straddled on Inuyasha's lap pressing their pelvis into Inuyasha's stomach. The person moaned out in need and something more against his lips. The moan struck a cord in Inuyasha. It felt so nice to be the one needed and wanted for a change and not be the one doing the chasing. With that thought in mind Inuyasha slid his tongue out to glide along the other persons bottom lip. This earned another needed moan and the person thrust their hips against Inuyasha's stomach with a slight cry of pleasure.
Inuyasha was floating on cloud nine. For once he was in control and someone needed him. Add on the fact that his eyes were still closed and didn't know who was straddling him, gave him a rush of adrenaline. Inuyasha sucked on the other persons bottom lip, while using his tongue to caress it.
"Aaahhha...." The unknown person above Inuyasha moaned out in excitement, wrapping his arms around Inuyasha allowing his hands to grab first full of jet black hair. "M-m-more.....p-please...I beg of you."
Inuyasha's insides were burning. Between the unknown person wiggling on his lap and the soft please and moan coming from his phantom lover was almost to much for him. He slid his hands down the other persons chest realizing the person on him was a guy, at the moment his fogged brain couldn't care less. The hands slid to the taunt stomach and under the shirt to caress skin. This action caused his phantom lover to hiss in pleasure of skin to skin contact. He let his hands slide over narrow hips to his phantom lovers lower back.
"Oh...God...P-p-please...m-more!" The unknown lover pleaded, tears rushing down Inuyasha's phantom lovers face, they were unknown, for Inuyasha still had his eyes closed.
Inuyasha couldn't help him self. All his pent up frustration was being unleashed. His hands slid from the lower back over two fleashy mounds giving his phantom lovers ass hard and soft caresses.
"Aaaahhhh....I-i-i-inuya...aaaaaaahhhhhha...oh God." The phantom lover choked out through parted rose like lips. "I've a-a-always had a c-c-crush on y-you..aaaahhhaa...I..w-w-want you Inuyasha."
Through a hazy mind Inuyasha could smell salt tears and the others need. Letting curiousity take over Inuyasha opened his eyes only to see a hand cover them trying to prevent him from seeing.
"Let me see you." Inuyasha whispered softly, a little afraid that this was all some kind of dream as if his mind had finally cracked from the lack of contact with Sesshomaru.
"No..." The answer sounded more like a small plea to Inuyasha.
"Why not?" Inuyasha persisted placing his hands on each side of his phantom lovers face. He could feel the wet tracks of tears."Why are you crying?"
"B-b-because I want you so bad that it h-h-hurts....oh God it's so p-p-painful" The mysterious person whispered in disappear. "I don't want you to hate me"
"I won't" Inuyasha whispered taking hold of the hand over his eyes and slowly removing it.
Inuyasha found himself looking into crystal blue eyes. Eyes that he could remember telling himself that he could drown in. His phantom lover had long flown golden hair down to his waist and curved around a beautiful creamy white skin.
"Amou....Amou Satoshi?" Inuyasha whispered into the air more to confirm it to him self.
"Konnichiwa....Inuyasha Shikon" Amou said with a small smile.
"Why are...I mean just now.....umm" Inuyasha couldn't put into words what it was he wanted to say. His thoughts scattering.
"I've been watching you since I transferred to this school. I've always felt compelled to watch you. Then when you saved me from the other football jerks I realized I cared deeply for you. I tried to tell you that time we met out side the boys locker room when you crashed into me but I chickened out." Amou said while looking down. He couldn't take looking into Inuyasha's intents violet eyes.
"I can understand if you don't want me. I remember what you told that rude guy Kouga about not being gay and not liking the act itself..."Amou's words trailed off. He couldn't finish his sentence because his throat closed up with helpless tears.
Inuyasha was speechless. What could he say to this confession? His heart belonged to Sesshomaru but he was his bother and deep inside Inuyasha knew it would never work out. maybe this is what he needed to take his mind off things? Maybe this is what it would take to stop obsessing over Sesshomaru and start living the so called normal life.
"Can I think about it?" Inuyasha said in a low voice.
Amou's head snapped up. His eyes searched Inuyasha's for some hidden meaning. "What?" He whispered, to scared to break this moment.
"You want to be with me right? As in boyfriend and uh...umm...boyfriend?" Inuyasha continued a little unsure of himself.
"Oh God yes. I would do anything for you." Amou answered with an emotion one would call love shinning in his eyes.
"Let me think about it. I will give you an answer on the last day of school." Inuyasha said while looking off to his right and blushing.
"R-r-really?" Amou persisted as if it was to good to be true.
"Yes." Inuyasha replied and then felt soft lips on his cheek.
"Arigato, Inuyasha-kun. I will wait for your answer." Amou got up and left Inuyasha to sit in silence.
----------
After that little scene Inuyasha didn't feel like going back to class so he did what any other growing adolescent did, he skipped the rest of school. Inuyasha walked along the schools electrical fence then jumped over it and set off for the creek down the street. Thoughts went in and out of his head faster then the speed of sound, leaving him utterly confused. At 7 o'clock he had to join his football team for the super-bowl high school game. They were going up against the mighty Black Ravens, who they lost to last year. Not to mention tomorrow Inuyasha had two more finals to take, one for English the other for History. He also remembered he had to deal with a pissed off Miroku after school let out, considering he got his buddy detention with Ms. Kikyou.
Inuyasha's thoughts then took a detour to Kagome. She was a nice girl but always shy around him for some reason. She was a little annoying sometimes but she was a good friend. Sango was cool to hang around but she was always busy beating up Miroku. Maybe she liked him? That thought went into thoughts about Miroku, his ever loyal friend who is with him no matter what. As of late he had been seeming down and out, like his mind was occupied with something else. Thinking of Miroku made Inuyasha remember the weird position they were in one day at Miroku's house.
'Was he going to kiss me? If he was, would I have let him? Better yet, would I have minded. No, I don't think I would have.' That last thought scared the shit out of Inuyasha. All of a sudden he was confronted with all different questions about his sexuality and preference. Amou then came to mind and Inuyasha found himself even more confused. 'What do I feel for Amou? I don't even know him but I feel oddly safe with him.'
Looking down at his watch Inuyasha knowing that school was going to be over in ten minutes. Turning around he headed back to the school building, over the fence, up the stairs and into the building. As he made his was up to Kikyou's classroom the bell rung signaling the end of another gruesome day. Bodies went rolling and sailing down the stairs. Students craming at the exits trying to get out of the brick like over school. Students realizing that freedom was just beyond the hard plastered walls and past the red 'Exit' doors.
Finally getting to the classroom he desired, Inuyasha opened the door and what lay behind it made Inuyasha's jaw drop to the ground. Kikyou straddled Miroku on her desk with his shirt open kissing down his chest. Miroku looked over to Inuyasha with a scared and pleading look.
Once snapping out of his thoughts Inuyasha cleared his throat. "Hem, hem, Ms.Kikyou?"
Kikyou's head shot up like a fire cracker. Inuyasha actually thought for a moment that her head was going to explode. "I-i-i-inuyasha, I wasn't expecting you after school." Kikyou said while getting of Miroku.
Once free Miroku jumped off the desk, buttoned up his shirt and ran to Inuyasha's side. "Thanks your a life saver" Inuyasha said while hugging his best friend and loveing every minute of the contact.
"Ms. Kikyou, I forgot to mention that Miroku was issued to help the football players get ready for tonights game so if your done with him can he be excused?" Inuyasha asked with a sweet voice.
"Well of course Inuyasha. Don't forget that you have to bring a guardian to school tomorrow before school starts." Kikyou said while buttoning her own shirt up.
"Of course." Inuyasha replied before him and Miroku bolted down the hallway.
----
"Thanks" Miroku said as both boys made it out of the school building and down the front steps.
"No problem. It was my fault anyway" Inuyasha said with a shrug.
"What time is it?" Miroku questioned.
"Almost four o'clock. We have about three hours before the super-bowl game but I have to come back to school at six o'clock to get ready for the game at 7:00 pm." Inuyasha said.
"I'll come early with you so I can get a good seat to watch the game." Miroku said then added in his mind, ' And you of course.'
Inuyasha didn't reply he was transfixed to the sight in front of them. Miroku noticed Inuyasha halt once the stepped off the last step and looked forward. There, was a black BMW car that belonged to one person...Sesshomaru. Miroku and Inuyasha realized that this meant Inuyasha was able to finally go home. Miroku and Inuyasha walked over to the car, neither saying anything. Miroku took his usually seat in the back behind the passenger seat and Inuyasha took the front passanger seat.
Sesshomaru started driving without a word. The car was shrouded in silence. Inuyasha stared out the window determinely and Miroku did the same. Soon the trio reached Miroku's house.
"I'll see you at the game Inuyasha." Miroku said as he got out.
"Yeah, see you." Was the only thing Inuyasha could manage to get out without his voice cracking.
Soon the duo arrived home. Sesshomaru turned the car off and popped the anti-locks so they could get out. Once he and Inuyasha were out, Sesshomaru pushed the alarm button on the car and walked up to the houses front door. Sesshomaru unlocked it and held it open for Inuyasha. Once the door was shut and locked Inuyasha walked into the pallor taken off his book bag and sitting on the couch. Before Inuyasha could even blink he found himself pinned to the couch with Sesshomaru between his legs.
"What the..!" Inuyasha trailed off when he saw Sesshomaru's concealing spell come off and his eyes turn red in anger.
"What the fuck is this male smell all over you? It smell like you let some filthy human who was aroused touch you?!" Sesshomaru spat out, for the first time not being able to control his anger and probably that the last.
Not waiting for an answer Sesshomaru lowered his nose to Inuyasha's lips the pushed down Inuyasha's body and lifted Inuyasha shirt revealing his younger brothers stomach. He then pushed his to Inuyasha's skin and smelt his navel. His toungue danced out of his mouth to taste the skin below the navel. Inuyasha couldn't help but moan.
Sesshomaru bolted off Inuyasha and looked down into Inuyasha's confused and needing eyes.
"You fucking whore! Who did you let kiss you and hump you?! Are you some kind of whore that will give it up to anyone!" Sesshomaru hissed out. "Don't try to fucking lie I can smell him all over you!"
Inuyasha's eyes filled with tears. He didn't no what to do. Didn't know what to say. Was he a whore for kissing Amou? Could he be considered one even though he officially didn't have a lover?
"S-s-sesshomaru, I didn't...I mean..it was just.....it's not what you think" Inuyasha pleaded. The tears finally flowing down his cheeks. His concealing spell melting away.
"You disgust me." Sesshomaru spat before turning around and marching up the stairs to his room, slamming the door for good measure.
Inuyasha crumpled to the floor in agony. Sobs preventing him from breathing.
"Oh..God..no.....please....I need him." Inuyasha cried out. His agony to great, his need to strong, and his ever growing hunger unsatisfied.
After sitting on the floor for what seemed like eternity. Inuyasha looked over to the clock above the TV. It read 5:30 PM. Lifting his crumpled body from off the floor Inuyasha winced in pain from a headache. He looked up the stairs in deep longing then left the house out the front door. He would have to start walking to school now if he was going to make it to school by six o'clock. Inuyasha knew full well that Sesshomaru would not give him a ride there. The thought of Sesshomaru brought tears, stinging at the corners of his eyes.
"No I will not cry. I didn't do anything wrong." Inuyasha said to the humid wind and harshly wiping at his eyes to dispel the tears.
---------
Miroku ran towards his high school. It was 6:30 PM and the Football game would be kicking off at 7:00 PM. He took a nap when he got home and woke up late. His lungs were burning and his legs ached as he ran full speed towards his destination. Soon the schools open black iron gates came to into view. Miroku gave a last burst of speed and sped through. He had ten minutes to find a seat in the bleachers before the game started. He walked over the schools lawn and to the back of the school where a huge football field was and bleachers. Miroku groaned, there were already hundreds of people there waiting for the game to start and Miroku could see more coming from the packed school parking lot. It would be hell finding a seat.
Inuyasha and his team mates huddled together in the locker room dressed in neat jersey. Every Players jersey was Blood Red with the name of the football team on the front "Devils", with as picture of a devil holding a pitch fork with horns and a pointed tail on front. One the back of the players jersey were there names and player numbers. Their pants were a simple white that came down to the middle of their shins. Red socks rose up to meet the pants. Their helmets were white with two red strips down the middle and the same devil from their shirts was on the right and left side of the helmets.
"Listen up everyone" The coach shouted out into the locker room. All became quiet as the players listened to the pre-game speech.
"Last year we lost the super-bowl to those flying fuck heads that call them selves the 'Black Ravens'. This year, I say with pay back the favor and send those mother fuckers back to the cornfields were they belong!"
A cheer sounded through out the locker room. Players butting helmets together. Shouts of "Fuck yeah!" and "Lets kick some Ass".
The coach raised his hand for silence and the player gave just that. "Any words from our captain?" Every one turned to Inuyasha.
"I just got one thing to say. Instead of having turkey for Thanksgiving, I say we have ourselves some fucking Black Ravens!" Inuyasha finished by butting his helmet against Kouga's as every felt the adrenaline pump within them. No one could describe the pure rush before a game and the downhill experience after it, like the share drop on the other side of a mountain. This was the spirit of football and it tasted damn good.
"Alright boys let go kick some little birdy ass, this is our house!" Kouga shouted while the players ran out the locker room and towards the exit and out to the field.
(a/n When Kouga says house he is referring to the fact that they are playing at their school. In any sport you will either travel and kick peoples ass on their home turf or kick ass at your home. Home = your school. It's good playing at home because you have home advantage.)
The crowded roared to life as the players ran onto the field. Chants of "Gooooooooo Devil's" erupted from the crowds
As Inuyasha ran onto the field and took his position as quarter back he looked up at the hundreds of people screaming for a good game. A smile came to his lips. This is what he an all the players lived for. You couldn't help but feel on top of the world when hundreds of people were screaming your name. Nothing felt better than tackling a man before he got a touch down. To taste you own sweat and know that you were tasting pure hard work and that every one was waiting with baited breaths to see you make the final touch down to win the game.
Then the game began.
Inuyasha and the players played fierce. Hiten and Mantan two huge line defenders held off a swarm of boy trying to get Inuyasha. Inuyasha scanned down the field and saw Kouga running down the field like the devil was at his heel. No pun intended. Inuyasha cocked his arm back and let the football spiral with precise aim. It was like poetry in motion. Kouga leapt into the air grabbed the football and rushed 52 yards. It was a story that would be told for a long time. Screams went up into the night air. The devils were finally gaining some ground at the end of the 2nd quarter.
In the third quarter penalties were being called left and right.
"Offense, number 32, holding, 5 yard penalty" Moans and curses went up into the air. All civilness went out the window for the 'Black Ravens' as they started playing dirty they were down by seven points.
Finally by the end of the 4th quarter, when the score was tied the moment of truth and who would be the victor arrived. Both teams were caked in mud thanks to the light summer drizzle and tackling. Sweat ran into all the players eyes. The 'Black Ravens' called for their last time out to put a hold on the clock. The was stopped at the two minute countdown.
Inuyasha rounded his own players to explain the new play.
"Listen up everyone because I'm only going to say this once. Where going to run the 'live wire' play. Kouga, I want your ass down at the other end of the field by the time I yell 'Huht, huht' you got that?" asked Inuyasha while looking at Kouga.
"You got it baby. They won't touch me." replied Kouga with a smirk.
"Alright lets go ladies. One, two, three, break."
The players took their positions on the field while the audiance held their breath. It all happened in slow motion.
Inuyasha yelled 'huht, huht' Hiten and Mantan came up the rear while Kouga went up the middle and sprinted off to the other end of the field. That's when everything went wrong. Kouga didn't notice a line defender coming up behind him until it was to late, he was tackled to the ground. Inuyasha quickly looked for his other runner Souta but he was held up ten yards away. Inuyasha only had one choice. He has to run his fucking ass off and cover 32 yards for a touch down.
Inuyasha faked a pass to Kyo and sprinted up the middle. A moment later he could hear Kyo being tackled from behind by five players. Once they realized it was a fake Inuyasha only had 12 more yards to cover. As he Inuyasha got closer to make a touch down he saw someone coming up his right side and left. He was cornered and all his men where held up 20 yards behind him. No one would make it in time.
The crowd held their breath, even the announcer became deathly quiet as the scene infront of them unfolded. As the two players came at Inuyasha from his left and right, their hands out stretched to grab hold clutching at his shirt. At that moment the crowd was struck in awe at Inuyasha last move.
Inuyasha twisted his body to free him self from the hands trying to grab hold and did a backflip landing for a touchdown, ball still clutched in his hands. The only thing that could be heard were the crickets and the humming mosquitoes. The a lone figure raced out onto the filled and through his arms around Inuyasha and screamed
"We won! You did it!" Miroku said and did the most unexpected thing, he kissed Inuyasha fully on the mouth with such passion it made both their hearts race.
The crowd with wild with cheers screaming "We won!! We won!!"
Kouga and the other players stared at Inuyasha. Then without warning Kouga smiled at Inuyasha from over Miroku's shoulder.
"Hey Inuyasha." Kouga called
Inuyasha parted from the kiss and looked over at Kouga stunned. "Uhh--Yeah?"
"I don't mind if you go for the other team as long as I don't catch you checking me out in the locker room." Kouga said with a smirk
"Like I ever do that. Your not even handsome." Inuyasha teased but was relieved all the same.
Kouga gave him the middle finger and turned to his other team mates that were jumping up and down in joy. Inuyasha, who was still in Miroku's embrace, looked up at his friend in question.
"Umm sorry I got a little carried away." Miroku said with a blush, still not releasing Inuyasha from his hold.
" Then you won't mind if I retaliate" before Miroku could question Inuyasha. He felt Inuyasha's lips against his. Shyly Inuyasha rubbed his tongue against Miroku's bottom lip. Miroku sucked Inuyasha's tongue into his mouth bring a moan from both of them.When they parted both were breathing hard. Miroku knew the kiss didn't mean to much to Inuyasha but just having his object of desire kiss him back, just this once, made Miroku the happiest person in the world.
After going to the after game football party to celebrate Inuyasha trudged home. On the way there the memories of the fight he had with Sesshomaru early came rushing back. Once again Inuyasha felt dirty for kissing someone else. Looking back he wished he could take back the kiss he had with Amou and now Miroku. Shame filled him taking away the happiness the game gave him.
Upon arriving home Inuyasha noticed a car parked along his brothers black BMW.
"Could it be?" Inuyasha whispered into the night air. "Dads back!"
Inuyasha dashed up to the front door and swung it open. There, in the pallor, sat his father, his brother, and a strange women who cradled a sleeping little boy with ox ears and tail. 'What the fuck is going on?' Inuyasha thought to himself.
"Welcome home Inuyasha. I would like you to meet your new mother Azul and your new step brother Shippo." Inutaisho said calmly like he was talking about the weather and not dropping a bomb on his sons life.
"W-what?" was the only thing Inuyasha could say before blacking out.

( End of Chapter )
Well there you have. Just a reminder, this is going to be a Inuyasha and Sesshomaru story. But like a said before, the road to a happy ending is paved with pain, well at least in my world it is! LOL.
Thank you to review title 'nothing' for pointing out my blunder in chapter 2. I forgot to mention Rin lived as Miroku's sister.
