Chapter 57
“Flush.” The others at the table groaned at the sight of the hand. Throwing down his two pair, Inuyasha grabbed some sake and took a swig before giving some to Hojou. The human took a sip gratefully as he grabbed the cards to deal again while Sesshomaru picked up the chips he had just won. Seiya was pissed as that had just cleaned him out, and Jessy was watching Shippou learn how to play from Souta.
As Hojou began dealing again, Lossonaur began to cry signaling his hunger. Excusing himself from the table, Seiya retrieved a bottle from the fridge as the others picked their cards up to continue the game. Scanning his cards carefully, Hojou asked, “I never thought I’d learn all of Kagome’s absences were because of you guys.” He set down two and waited for the others to set down their chosen discards. Shippou took three, as did Sesshomaru, while Inuyasha only took one while Jessy took two.
Picking up his new cards the priest joked, “What’s so unusual about hopping through a well and killing demons five-hundred years before you’re born?” Only Hojou laughed, the others remained calm and made their bets. Inuyasha folded while Shippou raised what Sesshomaru had thrown in. The demon lord threw down his cards as Jessy and Hojou called the fox’s bet. After another round of betting, Jessy showed a straight and began cheer, “See it pays to work for God!”
Sesshomaru drank some tea muttering, “Your god has nothing to do with it.” He received a middle finger from the priest as a retort. Smirking happily the demon said, “At least the one I choose to do that to is legal.” The priest nearly fell out of his chair laughing while the cards were dealt once again. Picking up his cards, Sesshomaru felt glad to at least have some sort of normalcy with his mate. They never played poker like this that often, but it was at least a way to relax.
While Rin had was spending the night with her friends, and Khilu at a sleep-over birthday party, that left the couple with only the baby to deal with. And at three weeks old, he was a bit more frustrating than Khilu. His appetite was more like his uncle’s than his father’s, not to mention he was a bit more sensitive to sounds and smells than Khilu. They guessed the dog ears to be a symbol of the influence of his demonic blood. Where Khilu had a more human appearance, gentler nature, and calmer demeanor. Add in her impressive fighting capabilities brought on by her demon blood, one still ended up with a more human type hanyou.
But, with Lossonaur, the situation was a bit reversed. His dog ears were clearly more canine than his sisters, and his appetite was even more demonic. It took at least three bottles to calm him down during the day, but at night, one bottle would last him until late the next morning. The pup did look an awful lot like Seiya, which got on Sesshomaru’s nerves a bit seeing as he was zero and two on affecting the looks of his children. Sure, they had the markings, the ears, and powers, but neither looked like him. But, he at least felt that Lossonaur was more like him in the personality department. Due to Seiya’s absence, the pup only had one parent to draw personality from, so they were having Seiya get as much time with him as possible.
The pup knew who Seiya was and gave him no trouble, purred, and played in his own baby manner, but when he grew older, the child would connect more to Sesshomaru. Seiya didn’t mind though, he loved his child and the child loved him back, and with their extended lives there would be plenty of opprotunites to bond with one another.
Realizing that it was his turn to bet, Sesshomaru raised the pot again, knocking Hojou out of the game after the hand was finished. Looking to his brother, Sesshomaru put in his ante before being asked, “So, how have things been since Seiya’s been back. You two have any private time together?” Getting the subtle hints behind his brother’s voice, Sesshomaru made no comment at the stupid grin the hanyou wore.
Giving Inuyasha a look of worry, Jessy politely asked, “Why the hell do you have an interest in your brother’s sex life?” Inuyasha sneered saying that he just wanted Souta to nearly vomit. Giving the boys a glance they could see the discomfort at the current choice of conversation. Smirking Jessy whispered loudly, “Well I hate to say it but Penny sometimes fantasizes about what those two do in bed.” Shippou nearly destroyed his cards while Souta looked nauseous at thinking about the two men in bed.
Deciding it best to add one more stroke to the anvil, Hojou pushed his sake away saying, “If I drink anymore I may have to join in the next time they do it.” Shippou tossed his cards away and Souta spent a moment dividing up the chips among the remaining players saying that the two of them were heading back to the shrine. Without a loss of momentum, Hojou shouted, “Remember if you don’t lube it, you’ll bruise it!” The closing of the front door was a signal for all those involved to burst out in fits of laughter.
That would have been true if Sesshomaru was actually feeling a bit worried about what Inuyasha had asked. The fact was that since Seiya’s return, neither one had made any attempts to restart their night life. At least that’s what they told themselves when in reality, Sesshomaru had made plenty of attempts only to be stopped shortly before things could go any further than some heavy petting. Only two possible answers fit the problem. The first being that Seiya was still feeling a bit of jet lag, or he had a mental block.
The demon’s money was on the mental block. After he had gotten home and settled in, he had time to fully process what had happened between Sesshomaru and Jakotsu. In full effect, the block would have been caused by receiving the knowledge that Sesshomaru had fully submitted to Jakotsu therefore causing him to feel uncomfortable with his husband when they began to get frisky. Who could blame him, the mental image of someone you trust dressed as you and bedding the love of your life is not something most people would put on a list of aphrodisiacs.
Most of the humans loved ones thought he was over it after his return home to find Jakotsu dressed and waiting for him, not knowing that the demon lord had explained everything. Standing there with an innocent smile curving the purple markings on his cheeks Jakotsu happily cheered, “Welcome home!” The blonde man could see that Jakotsu’s hair had indeed been cut since he’d last seen him. It was now half the length it was when they first met, and the eyes of Jakotsu were all too friendly.
Receiving nothing but silence, Jakotsu dropped his smile and gave a gulp before approaching the family. Going to grab a bag from Sesshomaru, Jakotsu’s hand was caught by his lords when it got too close to the baby. Giving a glance to Sesshomaru’s arms, the part demon’s eyes lit up with relief at the baby’s looks. Stepping back Jakotsu bowed saying, “I am glad you have such a healthy child Seiya-san.”
Setting his own bag down, Seiya headed to the kitchen and out the back door without a single glance at the man. Sesshomaru gave a nod telling Jakotsu that he should follow quickly. Realizing that Seiya had a full understanding of what happened, Jakotsu followed to receive his punishment. Taking a few moments, Sesshomaru handed the baby over to Rin telling her to keep him quiet, and Khilu away from the back windows. She obeyed, taking the baby up to his room before coming back down with the monitor while she watched a movie with her younger sister.
With the kids occupied, Sesshomaru went into the kithchen where he heard loud thuds. Hurrying to the door, he opened it to find Jakotsu getting up after just being knocked to the ground. He saw Seiya’s body heaving with anger and thought that it was all out of the human’s system when Seiya’s foot collided with Jakotsu’s face.
A loud snap and drops of blood through the air told the demon that the transvestite’s nose had just been broken. Stepping out, Sesshomaru smelt something that had only graced his sense of smell once before, and the result had been the severed arm of a dragon demon. Sesshomaru wasn’t pregnant, but the anger of his mate being defiled had made the trace amounts of demon blood in him burn enough to force him to transform into a more demonic life form.
Keeping watch, SEsshomaru saw his mate pick the fallen man up by the hair and growl, “If you break my trust like that one more time, I will kill you.” With that said, the human dropped his victim and the demon smell coming from him dissipated like dust sent into the wind. Letting the broken one fall to the ground, Seiya turned giving his mate a blank stare as he entered the house to get some ice for his fist.
Heading over to the man Sesshomaru asked quietly, “Did you ask him to do that to you?” Settling back on his rear, Jakotsu snapped his nose into place before wiping away the blood with the sleeve of his dress complaining that it was now ruined. Growling, Sesshomaru grabbed the whining man by the collar asking, “Did you ask him to strike you?” Jakotsu nodded with a smile on his face. Sesshomaru could see bruises already forming and let him drop back onto the ground asking, “Why?”
Getting up, Jakotsu readjusted his jaw saying calmly, “I told him to get out all of his frustrations at not being able to be here and for causing you so much pain.” Yelping loudly at the pain of his jaw being snapped back in, Jakotsu rubbed the bone asking, “What the hell happened to him to make him that strong?” Sesshomaru started to chuckle deeply much to the annoyance of the revived human. Sneering Jakotsu walked by him saying, “Fine, keep your stupid secrets. Right now I need to get cleaned up before I scare the children.”
Sesshomaru wanted to dwell on the situation a bit more, but his mate telling him that the others needed to go broke him from his memories. The three remaining men gave a loud unified groan before they began to clean up their own individual messes. When they were gone, Sesshomaru put away all of the poker chips and headed upstairs. But, just as he headed up, Jakotsu came in giggling stupidly to the voice of someone he’d apparently brought home. Sesshomaru growled at this indiscretion and headed down to see an interesting sight.
Jakotu’s face was bright red and he was so drunk that the person holding him couldn’t even stand up correctly. Taking the man, Sesshomaru could see that it was Jakotsu’s boss from the shop he worked in. Putting the man on the couch, the demon returned saying, “I apologize for any problems he may have caused.” The woman waved it off saying that she ws just glad that she got him away from the person who was hitting on him at the bar before anything bad happened. Staring at the man, Sesshomaru was surprised that the drunk even took a few changes of clothes with him after his Seiya’s fight.
Thanking her once again, SEsshomaru let her out before he went upstairs to go to bed. It was already two in the morning and knowing Seiya, the human woujld already be passed out before he made it upstairs. The suspicion was right, Sesshomaru walked in to the deep breaths of his mate’s calm sleep. Getting into his own bed clothes, the demon curled up next to his mate, kissed his neck, shoulder and cheeks before going to sleep holding the human close to him.
A few days later, Seiya was having a nice rest while the birds chirped out in the morning sun. He’d been up late the night before getting his book finished. The story ended around the time the main characters first child was born. He checked the full length of it and he found that the story had ended at about four-hundred pages making him feel that it was long enough for a first volume so he saved it on the hard drive and a few other devices before heading to bed.
Sesshomaru was asleep, seeing as he had spent the night taking care of Lossonaur when Seiya couldn’t stop typing enough to help the pup. Both were frustrated at the cold the child had, but Seiya needed to get this done and sent to the publishing company who’d decided to pick it up in a couple of days allowing him no time to back off the writing. Sesshomaru knew this, but he still wished Seiya would have at least changed him once, but the demon did what he could and Seiya was feeling like a jerk for not helping more the past week.
He’d decided to spend the day making it up to SEsshomaru, but as he was about to get up, Khilu came barging in and jumped on the bed screaming, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!” The sudden feeling of a forty- pound child landing squarely on his stomach, forced SEiya into a fit of hacking like he’d never had. The girl giggled at the pain she’d put her father in and tried to run away before he caught his breath. She’d failed miserably at the escape attempt because she was soon laughing hard at the tickling attack the man was forcing on her.
Amidst the chaos that was now their bed a voice shouted, “OY BOSS!” Both of them stopped laughing at the familiarity of the voice. Since they started living in the future, they’d never heard this voice once and it’d been awhil since Seiya had heard it. Looking around he saw nothing and asked Khilu if she heard it to. The child nodded saying that she didn’t know how this person was here, but all of a sudden Maverick came in and began to glow.
It was too bright and the pair covered their eyes until the voice said, “Okay, you can look now.” Blinking, Seiya saw a teenaged version of Kiba standing next to the bed. He was dressed in a set of pants like Inuyasha’s and a shirt that he guessed was a copy of Bankotsu’s from the descriptions he’d heard. Khilu shouted happ9ily and ran to the sprite knocking him over. Laughing, Kiba gave her a kiss on the head saying, “It’s all right Squirt!” Khilu punched him at the use of her nickname and gave him a big hug.
Getting up, Seiya asked, “How did you...” He was stopped by Sable coming in and suddenly transforming into a teenage Shiba. Khilu started screaming happily getting the attention of Rin and Sesshomaru. The girls continued to scream happily as the men just sat by watching calmly. When it was all said and done, Seiay asked, “What the hell are you two doing here?” Shiba and Kiba broke into laughter as the other three family members left them to laugh at the confused humans question.
Downstairs, Rin was serving breakfast while Kiba began to tell the story of how they got to be involved with Seiya’s grandfather.
Taking a sip of tea he said, “It wasn’t all that long ago. We’ve been with your grandfather only two years before you showed up to get married. However, we had to stay in dog form for the past few years because your grandfather thought that we were the real Sable and Maverick..”A bit confused, Khilu asked how they got to be where her great-grandfather lived to which Kiba replied, “Well we decided to leave the castle grounds after the Bakumatsu Era and traveled around the world.”
Sesshomaru nodded saying that he knew about that Era and how many lords lost their land, telling him that he was wise to leave it under the control of his allies. Nodding, Kiba picked up his tea saying, “So we bounced around Asia for awhile and then after the ‘New World’ was discovered we made our way there and after so many years found out about your family and stayed around to guard them until we wound up back in your service.”
Shiba, who had Khilu in her lap, patted the girl’s head saying, “We’re glad that we hung around when we did because now we can fulfill our duty to protect your family.” Sesshomaru thanked them for their loyalty to which Shiba said, “Not at all my lord. This little on needs our help, and with Jakotsu around you need a bit more help keeping the house secured.” At the mention of his name, the transvestite warrior came in to find the dog-sprites, now dog demon’s, sitting at the table.
Saying that he was off to work, Jakotsu left without another word and that he’d be home early to help with that nights dinner. Hoping to get some down time after learning about Shiba and Kiba, SEiya did not get this wish as he was interrupted by Yari rushing in and handing him a present. Scooping his little brother up, SEiya took the present asking what it was. Smiling the little boy opened it saying, “It’s a picture I made!” Staring at it, Seiya had to admit it did look good for a five year old. Maybe not professional, but at least he could figure out who everyone was.
Sesshomaru had a giant poof of white going down his right shoulder in the picture, and Khilu and RIn looked almost identical except Rin was the taller of the two. Jakotsu was in the picture as well and Seiya was standing next to Sesshomaru. Looking up from his picture, Yari noticed Kiba standing there smiling. The boy blushed and asked, “Who’s that lady?”
Laughing, Seiya set him on the floor telling him that she was named Shiba and a good friend of his. Bowing the boy greeted her politely and received a similar greeting in return along with a, “Pleasure to meet you Yari-san.” Taking his picture, Yari said he was going to have Robert put it in a frame before running off down the stairs. Watching him retreat, Shiba laughed gently saying, “I think he’s become smitten with me.” Seiya told her not to get any ideas before they both walked downstairs laughing at the boys actions.
Downstairs, Robert was sitting with Michelle and playing with Lossonaur. Most of the family took to calling him Michael or any other variation of that. Sesshomaru and Seiya stuck to his first name since he answered to either name equally. His cold was better than it had been, but he was still dripping snot and sneezing on everyone. The whole family adored his ears, which to Inuyasha was a god send because he didn’t have to worry about anyone tweaking his every five minutes.
Still in his pajamas, Seiya sat down and turned on the t.v to watch some shows only to have his dad say, “You’re twenty-eight years old, it’s three in the afternoon, and you’re still in your pajamas?” Opening one of the sodas that was left on the table in a bucket of ice, Seiya popped it open with a smirk and took a long drink. Grabbing a beer from the bucket, Robert did the same and clinked the bottle to the can saying, “Glad to have you home, Son.”
The two drank as they watched a movie that had just come on the television. Occasionally they had to send one of the kids out because of the language. And it would have continued that way when an extremely pregnant Kagome walked in with Inuyasha making them give up the fight to finish the movie. Settling down, Kagome grabbed a bottled water sighing, “I’m beginning to think this child will never pop out.” Chuckling, Seiya put a pillow under her feet and went to tell the kids Kagome was in the house.
Upon receiving the news, Khilu came in and asked if she could feel the woman’s orb like mid-section. Letting the children put their hands on her stomach, Kagome gave a loud grunt as the child kicked. Giggling madly, Khilu ran to Sesshomaru shouting, “I felt the baby kick.” Telling her that was wonderful, Sesshomaru headed upstairs to put Lossonaur down for his nap and came back down to find Jakotsu in the kitchen preparing some food for dinner. The demon grabbed some juice and poured a glass for himself before heading out without a word.
Jakotsu was still keeping quiet about certain things, but he and Seiya were attempting to make some sort of connection once again. Their conversations consisted of grunts and short sentences, yet eye contact was a plateau that wouldn’t be reached for a long time. Sesshomaru had already bought a cake before Khilu was woken up. Rin had picked it out, he just went and paid for it at the local bakery. Kiba and Shiba were in the middle of checking all the food and beverages while Inuyasha snuck cold cuts, sushi, and other party snacks.
Seiya opened up a few gifts while they waited for dinner, he’d gotten a few gifts that were inappropriate for those under the age of 18 and he felt a little guilty for not showing Sesshomaru. He felt bad about the lack of intimacy recently, so much to the point that he didn’t even want to share the same bed as the man. Not because of what happened with Jakotsu, he just felt a bit uncomfortable getting intimate after so long.
Closing the boxes, Seiya felt Sesshomaru wrap his arms over his neck and kiss him while asking, “How long before we get to use that?” Blushing, Seiya muttered something about not knowing which got Michelle chuckling and Kagome snickering. Growling at the women’s reactions, Sesshomaru hissed, “Maybe you should worry about losing that weight instead of what we do in bed.” Bad comment as Kagome’s eyes burned with rage and grabbed a chair and started chasing Sesshomaru around the house while Inuyasha watched amused and the others tried to keep from getting hit.
After an hour of chasing, Sesshomaru had a giant lump on his head, and Kagome was eating her oden happily. Seiya was in the middle of tending the wound on his mate’s head, in between bites of food, and sat back happily to allow his mate access to the food. Lossonaur was sitting in his car seat sleeping peacefully as the family ate. Jakotsu was talking with Shiba about work while Kiba took to getting to know Robert, Michelle, and Yari. The new additions got along great with the family, and thanks to their transforming abilities, they were more than happy to stay in dog form during the night, but that was put to rest as Sesshomaru declared they had enough rooms in the house for them to have one to themselves.
Now for a few measly hours the group enjoyed a peaceful birthday dinner until the children started to yawn. It was about nine at night and both Khilu and Yari began to start whining about wanting to go to bed. Picking up the kids, Shippou took them up to bed and came back down a few minutes later announcing that they went down without a fight. The fox had shown up shortly after dinner giving his possible future father-in-law a present.
Things were going well, Jakotsu and Seiya even had a nice polite conversation, and Robert got a little tipsy. So tipsy that he’d decided to have Shippou and Inuyasha bring in a karaoke machine. Souta, who was sitting in a corner watching the two men struggle through the crowded room. Having just shown up, he felt he had no reason to help do anything except eat the food. Asami had sent Seiya a new kimono. It was a deep blue that fit his personality and he swore he’d wear it during formal functions if it was required. Or as a house robe depending on the mood he was in.
Knowing what was happening, Seiya tried to leave when his dad shouted, “All right! This is a game most of us have played. But, for those of you who don’t know it’s a game called ‘Karaoke Roulette.’” Setting his drink down he said, “Basically it means that whatever song pops up you have to sing it no matter what.” Seiya was nearly out of the living room when Robert walked over saying, “Since you’re trying to escape, you can go first ya little bastard.”
Trying to fight his way back to the stairs, Seiya was shoved over to the machine and had his dad press the button. Looking at the television, they watched a group of songs whizz by when it suddenly stopped on a somewhat inappropriate song. Well, if it was Halloween it would have been inappropriate, but since the picture was sitting on the shelf the song, “Dude Looks Like A Lady,” seemed rather fitting with Sesshomaru in the room. Not wanting to get denied his bed later, Seiya tried to fight it when Sesshomaru said, “It’s the rules of the game so just sing the song.”
Giving up, Seiya took a sip of water and let the music play before he began belting out the lyrics. It was better than most of the people they’d heard sing it, but since he was not Steven Tyler, it sucked beyond all comparisons. He broke down a few times and laughed at looking like a jackass around his family and friends. To make matters worse, Khilu and Yari came down dressed in their pajamas and began to jump around giggling at Seiya and trying to dance with him.
Everyone burst out laughing when Khilu tried to get Sesshomaru up, only to have the man pin her down and make her giggle as he tickled her for trying to get him to dance. When the song was over, Seiya took a bow, grabbed a bottled water, and hid himself in a corner so nobody would comment on his performance. His hopes of peace were dashed when Yari climbed on top of his shoulders shouting, “That song was about Sesshy!”
The whole group fell on the floor with their legs twitching in the air wondering what Sesshomaru was going to do to the boy. The demon did nothing, except watch his father-in-law hit the roulette button to pop up another song that everyone made INuyasha get up and sing. The hanyou’s voice, while tolerable enough to listen to, sounded much like a cat getting hit by a car while going through a meat grinder. Nobody could stop laughing as he stood like a mannequin singing a horrible rendition of the song “Sukiyaki,” in English.
Kagome would have gone, but her condition had her pinned to the couch. Michelle got up and sang, it wasn’t too bad, she had some sense of rythym and did not suffer from the tone deaf condition that Inuyasha did. Shippou was forced into a duet with Rin, much to Sesshomaru’s discontent, but the sudden feel of his mate’s hand on his own let him allow their version of “Somewhere Out There, “ to go off without a vocalization of disapproval.
Robert’s drunken display of, “Pina Colada’s,” was an event in and of itself. Since he was already slightly drunk to start with, he pretty much spoke the lyrics. He even got Shiba to join in with him and dance a bit before falling down, giving up the rest of his performance. Helping her husband up, Michelle took him to one of the guest rooms to let him sleep off the booze while Souta messed with the machine.
After Seiya’s performance, all the names were picked out of a party hat that Kagome had brought with her for Lossonaur to wear. A picture was taken just before the pup started crying and after it was taken off and put to bed, Souta wrote everyone’s name and dumped it in the hat pulling them out in succession. With only the children, himself, Jakotsu, and Sesshomaru left the young man rummaged through the hat staring at the fireplace as he pulled out a bit of paper. The manic glint in his eye told everyone who he’d pulled out. Holding the slip of parchment up he shouted, “It’s time for Mr. High And Mighty to sing!”
While everyone stared at him, Sesshomaru remained glued to his seat growling, “I am not going to belittle myself for your entertainment.” Getting up, Inuyasha said that if he could do it and come out alive, Sesshomaru could handle being made a fool of. Grabbing the hanyou’s throat, Sesshomaru hissed, “That is because you are a fool to begin with.” Squeezing a bit on the half demon’s throat he added, “And I do not allow myself to look as pathetic as you do by existing.” Breaking away from his brother, Inuyasha attempted a punch only to howl in pain as his wife and mate pulled him over to the corner by one of his ears.
Adamant with his decision, Sesshomaru nearly got away with it until Khilu got in his face and with big eyes begged, “Please sing Papa.” The whole room began to chuckle when the girl added in the quivering lip move. Clenching his fist in an attempt to stay strong, Sesshomaru remained glued to his seat still keeping strong. Then the water works began allowing Khilu to add in, “Fine be that way you meanie.” Feeling something snap, Sesshomaru gave a loud sigh saying that he’d get up and sing. Immediately switching gears, Khilu took him by the hand and led him to the microphone before hitting the shuffle button.
Gld to see his daughter had gained control of her manipulation gene, Seiya watched his mate stare at the microphone as the music began to pulse. Most of the songs had been fairly humurous, if you didn’t count Shippou in and Rin’s song they were all happy and allowed for a certain amount of goofiness. But, the sudden pulse of the drums and the piano cues had the human watching his mate closely. The song was a favorite of the demon’s and he hummed it on occasion when hold SEiya, but to see Sesshomaru close his eyes and open his mouth to sing caught amidst his current company was a chance none of them thought they would ever see.
And you ask me what I want this yearAnd I try to make this kind and clearJust a chance that maybe we'll find better daysCuz I don't need boxes wrapped in stringsAnd desire and love and empty thingsJust a chance that maybe we'll find better daysSo take these wordsAnd sing out loudCuz everyone is forgiven nowCuz tonight's the night the world begins againAnd it's someplace simple where we could liveAnd something only you can giveAnd thats faith and trust and peace while we're aliveAnd the one poor child that saved this worldAnd there's 10 million more who probably couldIf we all just stopped and said a prayer for themNobody said anything as the demon sang such a song. Inuyasha who would have made a lewd comment by now was sitting in amazement at the feeling his brother was giving off. Souta gave Seiya the, “He’s good,” look before going to listen. Khilu was beaming happily from Kiba’s lap whispering that her Papa was the best. Chuckling, Kiba patted her head telling her that she was right in admiring her father in such a way. Keeping silent, Seiya continued to listen taking in the full extent of the song.
So take these wordsAnd sing out loudCuz everyone is forgiven nowCuz tonight's the night the world begins againI wish everyone was loved tonightAnd somehow stop this endless fightJust a chance that maybe we'll find better daysSo take these wordsAnd sing out loudCuz everyone is forgiven nowCuz tonight's the night the world begins againCuz tonight's the night the world begins again
When he was finished, Sesshomaru left the mic on top of the machine and took his seat on the couch so he could get all of the guests out of his house sooner. His hair was a bit disheleved and Seiya put his head on the demon’s shoulder watching the others finish their turns. Seiya remained quiet about his mate’s singing, and when everyone was finally gone, he took out some garbage and checked to make sure everyone was in bed before grabbing some ice cream and going into his and Sesshomaru’s room.
While his mate was in the bathroom, Seiya stripped down and got into his new Kimono to check out how it looked. He liked it well enough, the garment hung loosely over his body, and without clothes on underneath pretty much everything was exposed. Settling on his bed with the pint, he opened it up and took a bite as he watched the television. Late night shows weren’t all that great, so he set it to a movie channel when out of nowhere Sesshomaru appeared before him smiling. Holding up the pint he asked, “Ice cream?”
Taking the spoon, Sesshomaru took a bite of the chocolate chip peppered ice cream. Getting an idea, the demon put the spoon into the ice cream, took a scoop, and made it seem like he was going to give it back to his mate when he “accidentally,” dropped it on his mates exposed chest. Giving out a gasp of surprise, Seiya started shouting how cold it was and complaining that it would ruin Asami’s gift.
Putting the ice cream on the night stand, Seiya reached for Sesshomaru’s towel to clean up only to find the demon nuzzling his chest. The ice cream was still sending chills through his body, but the sudden warmth of his mate’s tongue through the frozen liquid had the human whimpering in frustration. Lapping up the dessert off his mate’s nipple, Seiya gave it a light suck before growling, “This is better than adding chocolate sauce to it.”
The reattaching of his mate’s lips to his chest, Seiya began squirming in an attempt to get away from his mate. Chuckling, Sesshomaru licked the rest of the dripping confection off his mate keeping it free of any sticky residue that would arise. Biting his lip, Seiya wanted his mate to stop, but the lust for the demon was over taking him. Making his way up, Sesshomaru sucked on the body that he’d ached for the past half-year. Coming to the mating mark, he saw it was fading a bit. Giving his mate a sideways glance, the demon cupped the human’s chin and turned his face to see the mark. Turning his head to the mark, Sesshomaru opened his mouth and gently bit down on the purple mark.
Letting out a gasp mixed of pain and surprise, Seiya felt a sudden surge of memories attack his brain. Keeping his eyes closed, he saw images of what had happened to Sesshomaru while he was gone. All the sickness, the pain, the doctor’s appointments, and most importantly the suffering he went through after realizing what he’d done with Jakotsu. In the few moments that the connection took place, Seiya opened his eyes to find his mate lapping at the two bite marks closing them with each lick.
When the wounds were closed, Sesshomaru wiped a stray bit of blood from his mouth and kissed his mate deeply. Slowly opening his mouth, Seiya let the demon sneak his tongue brush up against his own wandering muscle. The coppery taste was minor, but Seiya didn’t care, happy to fully understand his mate’s torment, the human pulled his mate close to him before falling against the pillows. Running his hair through the silver strands, Seiya’s heart felt a great deal better when his mate pulled away to stare into his eyes. Brushing them the hair that covered the green gems, Sesshomaru moved down to stroke his mate’s cheek saying, “You never need to feel like that again.”
Taking the boys left hand, SEsshomaru brushed their rings together gently saying, “I chose you and will only ever desire you. These rings,” he moved the gold bands against each other having them make a light rubbing noise in the silence. Moving their hands to their mating marks, Sesshomaru then said, “These marks,” caressing the now deep purple mark on his mate’s body as he said, “and this pendant are proof of that vow. And shall remain that way until our souls are divided.” Leaning up, Seiya kissed his mate with a small smile on his lips.
Breaking the kiss, Seiya’s lips brushed against Sesshomaru’s when he whispered, “You really are a huge sap sometimes.” Growling at the insult, the demon pushed him down and began to attack him with nips and kisses. Laughing, Seiya held the demon to one particular spot he enjoyed having the demon pay attention to it. Knowing what his mate wanted, Sesshomaru pushed up the bottom of his robe exposing the bare hips of the human. Taking hold of the left thigh, Sesshomaru gently suckled on the part between the thigh and hip bone. Sighing happily, Seiya gently rubbed the demon’s ear making his love purr.
Pulling away, Sesshomaru saw the fruits of his labor begin to take form in the shape of a bruise where he’d been sucking. Giving it one more kiss, the demon could see his mate’s excitement take form. Glancing up he could see the half-lidded eyes of the human glancing up at the ceiling. Looking over, he grabbed the ice cream glad to see that it was a liquid, but still cold. Sucking on the human’s inner thigh, Sesshomaru felt a sudden pressure on his head at the boys excitement. Stroking it gently, Sesshomaru took the ice cream and began to pour along the humans thigh and crotch.
Shaking excitedly, Seiya could only pant at the demons velvet tongue clean up the liquid. Letting it drip down his thighs for a moment, slowly licked from his mates knee up to the part where the thigh and crotch me. Continuing his licking, Sesshomaru kept his eyes on his mate happy that to see the deep heaves of his mate’s chest. With the thigh clean, Sesshomaru started to clean the ice cream around the base of his mate’s erection.
“Se...essh...” Choking out the words, Seiya felt himself grow harder than he already was. Lapping the last bit of cream from his mates scrotum, Sesshomaru swirled his tongue up the human’s shaft, and circled the tip before engulfing his mate completely. Panting heavily, Seiya reached back grabbing the headboard to keep him from rising off the bed. Lifting his head up slowly, Sesshomaru cupped his mates sac massaging it gently as his head bobbed up and down sucking him slowly.
Gripping the wooden frame harder, Seiya had to bite down to keep himself from screaming. Pulling his mouth off, Sesshomaru continued to lick his mate as he stared up asking, “Is it too much already?” Glancing down with glazed eyes, Seiya mumbled something incoherently. Stroking the shaft as he took a painfully long lick along the head of his mate’s erection giving it a small suck afterwards. Cursing the demon, as he felt the lick, Seiya laid his head against the pillow groaning in frustration at the demon’s teasing.
Snaking his way up the boys body, Sesshomaru shivered at the softness of his mate’s body as he began to rub against the human while kissing him deeply on the lips. Taking the offer tongue greedily, Seiya gave it a quick suck before pulling away. Panting deeply as he was stroked the human whispered, “I...haven’t...s..INCE..before..” Putting a finger on the human’s mouth, Sesshomaru flipped his mate over and hiked up the tail of the robe exposing his bare bottom. Pushing his hips up, Sesshomaru had the human face down in the pillows with his rear exposed to him.
Reaching over to the night stand, Sesshomaru grabbed one of the new lotions he’d hidden, smeared some on his index finger and slowly pressed into his mates hole. Tensing for only the slightest moment, Seiya relaxed quickly as his mate rubbed the back of his head gently. Keeping still and breathing evenly, Seiya let out a small moan as Sesshomaru began moving his claw from inside of him and back in. Gyrating his hips with the thrusts, Seiya began to move his hand up and down on his erection when he had to stop and let out a stifled scream into the pillows.
Sesshomaru had lubed up his middle finger and slid it in with the forefinger after pulling out. The demon knew his mate was telling the truth, he could smell the pent up pheramones ooze out of his mate in large doses. The smell of his mate’s fluids filled his nostrils making him hungry for the human. Feeling that his mate was loose enough, Sesshomaru continued to loosen the boy as he prepared his own erection. Smearing the liquid over his engorged member, Sesshomaru watched as it glistened in the dim lamp light. Pulling his fingers out earned him an annoyed moan.
Curling his body to the shape of his mate’s, Sesshomaru took Seiyas wedding hand into his own whispering, “Are you ready?” The demon rubbed his tip against the crack in his mate’s rear forcing the human to push back eagerly. Opening his mate, Sesshomaru kissed him on the shoulder as he slid in making the boy gasp loudly. Keeping his gasp to a deep shake of pleasure, Sesshomaru remained still panting into his mate’s ear.
His breathing nearly in sync with his husband’s, Seiya placed a small kiss on the demon’s hand whispering, “You really are excited.” Nibbling on his mate’s ear, Sesshomaru pulled out and slid back in slowly forcing SEiya to push back and clench down on the thick shaft. Gripping his mate’s hip, Sesshomaru continued with a slow pace. The heat coming from his mate was driving his senses insane causing animalistic urges to arise. Fighting them back, Sesshomaru pulled his mate onto him keeping him close and going deeper to into him.
Biting down on a pillow, Seiya felt the urge to scream in pleasure as Sesshomaru continued to press down on his prostate. He didn’t tell Sesshomaru that he’d already came twice, but he was too enamored to say anything. The most he managed was a slight moan or whimper amidst the gentle grunts of the demon’s thrusting. He was still tight, but it was a good tight. The demon’s member stretched him bit by bit making him grip down on the sheets giving him enough energy to moan the demon’s name.
Reaching between his mate’s legs, Sesshomaru felt the huge amounts of semen on his mates thighs. Licking them clean, the demon gripped the shaft with a firm gentleness and began to stroke along with his thrusts. The sudden increase in his mate’s moans urged the demon to make drive harder and deeper into the sweating human beneath him. Watching the drips of sweat fall from his hair onto his mate’s exposed lower back, Sesshomaru leaned down whispering how long he’d ached for the boy.
Not saying anything, Seiya felt his third climax build and erupt into his mate’s hand staining the sheets once again. Panting with satisfaction, Sesshomaru gave one more deep thrust before biting down gently on his mate keeping himself stiff as he shook with his own release. His member jerked inside his mates hole filling it. Staying still for a moment, Sesshomaru kissed his mate all over the back of his neck and shoulders gently holding the human’s hand as he held him.
Moving a bit, Seiya let out a slight moan as Sesshomaru left him. Moaning at the kisses, Seiya said, “You have to clean this robe.” Gently swatting his mates behind, Sesshomaru carried the boy over to the sitting chair they kept in the room before removing the sheets. Seiya’s eyes barely stayed open as he watched the demon put a clean set on the mattress. He was stirred from his sleep by the demon picking him back up, removing his robe, and placing him against the sheets. Falling into them, Seiya turned over pulling his mate towards him to use as a pillow.
Placing the boys drenched head on his bare chest, Sesshomaru stroked his hair as he slept glad that the boy was over his insecurities. This amount of passion wasn’t rare, but for Seiya to act the way he did was. Holding the boy, Sesshomaru had to wipe a tear away at having his mate back. Everything seemed to be perfect when Seiya sleepily asked, “When did it become okay for Rin and Shippou to date?”
Running his hands through the long tresses of blonde, Sesshomaru calmly said, “I allowed her to date him because he has proven that he can take care of her by securing a job and continuing to be respectful of her by not forcing anything upon her.” Grunting some form of agreement, Seiya tried to go to sleep when he felt a rythmic humming vibrate in his mate’s chest. Asking what the demon was humming, Seiya was surprised to hear him ask, “Do you remember the first time we went out in this time?”
Thinking for a moment, the human grunted, “Yeah, we went and saw the play ‘Rent.’” Turning around he asked, “What does a Broadway musical have to do with us right now?” Not receiving a vocal answer, Seiya was let out a small gasp of surprise at Sesshomaru ending up on top of him. Trying to push the demon off, Seiya grunted, “Once is enough, for tonight.” He continued to struggle when he noticed Sesshomaru wasn’t trying to force himself into the human.
Instead, Sesshomaru was asking, “Open your eyes.” Opening his eyes, Seiya found the demon’s eyes looking right into his reflecting the light from the room. Seiya wanted to say something, yet the low baritone of his husband’s singing forced him to listen to a song from the play that dripped with a sadness he’d never heard in the demons voice only a couple of times.
Your Eyes
As We Said Our Goodbyes
Can't Get Them Out Of My Mind
And I Find I Can't Hide (From)
Your Eyes
The Ones That Took Me By Surprise
The Night You Came Into My Life
Where There's Moonlight
I See Your Eyes
How'd I Let You Slip Away
When I'm Longing So To Hold You
Now I'd Die For One More Day
'Cause There's Something I Should
Have Told You
Yes There's Something I Should Have
Told You
When I Looked Into Your Eyes
Why Does Distance Make Us Wise?
You Were The Song All Along
And Before The Song Dies
I Should Tell You I Should Tell You
I Have Always Loved You
You Can See It In My Eyes
Laughing a bit at the choice in songs, Seiya gently brushed the demon’s lips whispering, “You missed me that much?” Rubbing his eyes a bit, Sesshomaru let his body fall across the boys body holding him close. Wrapping the demon in his arms, Seiya just held him close kissing him and whispering, “I love you too.”
Chapter 57
“Flush.” The others at the table groaned at the sight of the hand. Throwing down his two pair, Inuyasha grabbed some sake and took a swig before giving some to Hojou. The human took a sip gratefully as he grabbed the cards to deal again while Sesshomaru picked up the chips he had just won. Seiya was pissed as that had just cleaned him out, and Jessy was watching Shippou learn how to play from Souta.
As Hojou began dealing again, Lossonaur began to cry signaling his hunger. Excusing himself from the table, Seiya retrieved a bottle from the fridge as the others picked their cards up to continue the game. Scanning his cards carefully, Hojou asked, “I never thought I’d learn all of Kagome’s absences were because of you guys.” He set down two and waited for the others to set down their chosen discards. Shippou took three, as did Sesshomaru, while Inuyasha only took one while Jessy took two.
Picking up his new cards the priest joked, “What’s so unusual about hopping through a well and killing demons five-hundred years before you’re born?” Only Hojou laughed, the others remained calm and made their bets. Inuyasha folded while Shippou raised what Sesshomaru had thrown in. The demon lord threw down his cards as Jessy and Hojou called the fox’s bet. After another round of betting, Jessy showed a straight and began cheer, “See it pays to work for God!”
Sesshomaru drank some tea muttering, “Your god has nothing to do with it.” He received a middle finger from the priest as a retort. Smirking happily the demon said, “At least the one I choose to do that to is legal.” The priest nearly fell out of his chair laughing while the cards were dealt once again. Picking up his cards, Sesshomaru felt glad to at least have some sort of normalcy with his mate. They never played poker like this that often, but it was at least a way to relax.
While Rin had was spending the night with her friends, and Khilu at a sleep-over birthday party, that left the couple with only the baby to deal with. And at three weeks old, he was a bit more frustrating than Khilu. His appetite was more like his uncle’s than his father’s, not to mention he was a bit more sensitive to sounds and smells than Khilu. They guessed the dog ears to be a symbol of the influence of his demonic blood. Where Khilu had a more human appearance, gentler nature, and calmer demeanor. Add in her impressive fighting capabilities brought on by her demon blood, one still ended up with a more human type hanyou.
But, with Lossonaur, the situation was a bit reversed. His dog ears were clearly more canine than his sisters, and his appetite was even more demonic. It took at least three bottles to calm him down during the day, but at night, one bottle would last him until late the next morning. The pup did look an awful lot like Seiya, which got on Sesshomaru’s nerves a bit seeing as he was zero and two on affecting the looks of his children. Sure, they had the markings, the ears, and powers, but neither looked like him. But, he at least felt that Lossonaur was more like him in the personality department. Due to Seiya’s absence, the pup only had one parent to draw personality from, so they were having Seiya get as much time with him as possible.
The pup knew who Seiya was and gave him no trouble, purred, and played in his own baby manner, but when he grew older, the child would connect more to Sesshomaru. Seiya didn’t mind though, he loved his child and the child loved him back, and with their extended lives there would be plenty of opprotunites to bond with one another.
Realizing that it was his turn to bet, Sesshomaru raised the pot again, knocking Hojou out of the game after the hand was finished. Looking to his brother, Sesshomaru put in his ante before being asked, “So, how have things been since Seiya’s been back. You two have any private time together?” Getting the subtle hints behind his brother’s voice, Sesshomaru made no comment at the stupid grin the hanyou wore.
Giving Inuyasha a look of worry, Jessy politely asked, “Why the hell do you have an interest in your brother’s sex life?” Inuyasha sneered saying that he just wanted Souta to nearly vomit. Giving the boys a glance they could see the discomfort at the current choice of conversation. Smirking Jessy whispered loudly, “Well I hate to say it but Penny sometimes fantasizes about what those two do in bed.” Shippou nearly destroyed his cards while Souta looked nauseous at thinking about the two men in bed.
Deciding it best to add one more stroke to the anvil, Hojou pushed his sake away saying, “If I drink anymore I may have to join in the next time they do it.” Shippou tossed his cards away and Souta spent a moment dividing up the chips among the remaining players saying that the two of them were heading back to the shrine. Without a loss of momentum, Hojou shouted, “Remember if you don’t lube it, you’ll bruise it!” The closing of the front door was a signal for all those involved to burst out in fits of laughter.
That would have been true if Sesshomaru was actually feeling a bit worried about what Inuyasha had asked. The fact was that since Seiya’s return, neither one had made any attempts to restart their night life. At least that’s what they told themselves when in reality, Sesshomaru had made plenty of attempts only to be stopped shortly before things could go any further than some heavy petting. Only two possible answers fit the problem. The first being that Seiya was still feeling a bit of jet lag, or he had a mental block.
The demon’s money was on the mental block. After he had gotten home and settled in, he had time to fully process what had happened between Sesshomaru and Jakotsu. In full effect, the block would have been caused by receiving the knowledge that Sesshomaru had fully submitted to Jakotsu therefore causing him to feel uncomfortable with his husband when they began to get frisky. Who could blame him, the mental image of someone you trust dressed as you and bedding the love of your life is not something most people would put on a list of aphrodisiacs.
Most of the humans loved ones thought he was over it after his return home to find Jakotsu dressed and waiting for him, not knowing that the demon lord had explained everything. Standing there with an innocent smile curving the purple markings on his cheeks Jakotsu happily cheered, “Welcome home!” The blonde man could see that Jakotsu’s hair had indeed been cut since he’d last seen him. It was now half the length it was when they first met, and the eyes of Jakotsu were all too friendly.
Receiving nothing but silence, Jakotsu dropped his smile and gave a gulp before approaching the family. Going to grab a bag from Sesshomaru, Jakotsu’s hand was caught by his lords when it got too close to the baby. Giving a glance to Sesshomaru’s arms, the part demon’s eyes lit up with relief at the baby’s looks. Stepping back Jakotsu bowed saying, “I am glad you have such a healthy child Seiya-san.”
Setting his own bag down, Seiya headed to the kitchen and out the back door without a single glance at the man. Sesshomaru gave a nod telling Jakotsu that he should follow quickly. Realizing that Seiya had a full understanding of what happened, Jakotsu followed to receive his punishment. Taking a few moments, Sesshomaru handed the baby over to Rin telling her to keep him quiet, and Khilu away from the back windows. She obeyed, taking the baby up to his room before coming back down with the monitor while she watched a movie with her younger sister.
With the kids occupied, Sesshomaru went into the kithchen where he heard loud thuds. Hurrying to the door, he opened it to find Jakotsu getting up after just being knocked to the ground. He saw Seiya’s body heaving with anger and thought that it was all out of the human’s system when Seiya’s foot collided with Jakotsu’s face.
A loud snap and drops of blood through the air told the demon that the transvestite’s nose had just been broken. Stepping out, Sesshomaru smelt something that had only graced his sense of smell once before, and the result had been the severed arm of a dragon demon. Sesshomaru wasn’t pregnant, but the anger of his mate being defiled had made the trace amounts of demon blood in him burn enough to force him to transform into a more demonic life form.
Keeping watch, SEsshomaru saw his mate pick the fallen man up by the hair and growl, “If you break my trust like that one more time, I will kill you.” With that said, the human dropped his victim and the demon smell coming from him dissipated like dust sent into the wind. Letting the broken one fall to the ground, Seiya turned giving his mate a blank stare as he entered the house to get some ice for his fist.
Heading over to the man Sesshomaru asked quietly, “Did you ask him to do that to you?” Settling back on his rear, Jakotsu snapped his nose into place before wiping away the blood with the sleeve of his dress complaining that it was now ruined. Growling, Sesshomaru grabbed the whining man by the collar asking, “Did you ask him to strike you?” Jakotsu nodded with a smile on his face. Sesshomaru could see bruises already forming and let him drop back onto the ground asking, “Why?”
Getting up, Jakotsu readjusted his jaw saying calmly, “I told him to get out all of his frustrations at not being able to be here and for causing you so much pain.” Yelping loudly at the pain of his jaw being snapped back in, Jakotsu rubbed the bone asking, “What the hell happened to him to make him that strong?” Sesshomaru started to chuckle deeply much to the annoyance of the revived human. Sneering Jakotsu walked by him saying, “Fine, keep your stupid secrets. Right now I need to get cleaned up before I scare the children.”
Sesshomaru wanted to dwell on the situation a bit more, but his mate telling him that the others needed to go broke him from his memories. The three remaining men gave a loud unified groan before they began to clean up their own individual messes. When they were gone, Sesshomaru put away all of the poker chips and headed upstairs. But, just as he headed up, Jakotsu came in giggling stupidly to the voice of someone he’d apparently brought home. Sesshomaru growled at this indiscretion and headed down to see an interesting sight.
Jakotu’s face was bright red and he was so drunk that the person holding him couldn’t even stand up correctly. Taking the man, Sesshomaru could see that it was Jakotsu’s boss from the shop he worked in. Putting the man on the couch, the demon returned saying, “I apologize for any problems he may have caused.” The woman waved it off saying that she ws just glad that she got him away from the person who was hitting on him at the bar before anything bad happened. Staring at the man, Sesshomaru was surprised that the drunk even took a few changes of clothes with him after his Seiya’s fight.
Thanking her once again, SEsshomaru let her out before he went upstairs to go to bed. It was already two in the morning and knowing Seiya, the human woujld already be passed out before he made it upstairs. The suspicion was right, Sesshomaru walked in to the deep breaths of his mate’s calm sleep. Getting into his own bed clothes, the demon curled up next to his mate, kissed his neck, shoulder and cheeks before going to sleep holding the human close to him.
A few days later, Seiya was having a nice rest while the birds chirped out in the morning sun. He’d been up late the night before getting his book finished. The story ended around the time the main characters first child was born. He checked the full length of it and he found that the story had ended at about four-hundred pages making him feel that it was long enough for a first volume so he saved it on the hard drive and a few other devices before heading to bed.
Sesshomaru was asleep, seeing as he had spent the night taking care of Lossonaur when Seiya couldn’t stop typing enough to help the pup. Both were frustrated at the cold the child had, but Seiya needed to get this done and sent to the publishing company who’d decided to pick it up in a couple of days allowing him no time to back off the writing. Sesshomaru knew this, but he still wished Seiya would have at least changed him once, but the demon did what he could and Seiya was feeling like a jerk for not helping more the past week.
He’d decided to spend the day making it up to SEsshomaru, but as he was about to get up, Khilu came barging in and jumped on the bed screaming, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!” The sudden feeling of a forty- pound child landing squarely on his stomach, forced SEiya into a fit of hacking like he’d never had. The girl giggled at the pain she’d put her father in and tried to run away before he caught his breath. She’d failed miserably at the escape attempt because she was soon laughing hard at the tickling attack the man was forcing on her.
Amidst the chaos that was now their bed a voice shouted, “OY BOSS!” Both of them stopped laughing at the familiarity of the voice. Since they started living in the future, they’d never heard this voice once and it’d been awhil since Seiya had heard it. Looking around he saw nothing and asked Khilu if she heard it to. The child nodded saying that she didn’t know how this person was here, but all of a sudden Maverick came in and began to glow.
It was too bright and the pair covered their eyes until the voice said, “Okay, you can look now.” Blinking, Seiya saw a teenaged version of Kiba standing next to the bed. He was dressed in a set of pants like Inuyasha’s and a shirt that he guessed was a copy of Bankotsu’s from the descriptions he’d heard. Khilu shouted happ9ily and ran to the sprite knocking him over. Laughing, Kiba gave her a kiss on the head saying, “It’s all right Squirt!” Khilu punched him at the use of her nickname and gave him a big hug.
Getting up, Seiya asked, “How did you...” He was stopped by Sable coming in and suddenly transforming into a teenage Shiba. Khilu started screaming happily getting the attention of Rin and Sesshomaru. The girls continued to scream happily as the men just sat by watching calmly. When it was all said and done, Seiay asked, “What the hell are you two doing here?” Shiba and Kiba broke into laughter as the other three family members left them to laugh at the confused humans question.
Downstairs, Rin was serving breakfast while Kiba began to tell the story of how they got to be involved with Seiya’s grandfather.
Taking a sip of tea he said, “It wasn’t all that long ago. We’ve been with your grandfather only two years before you showed up to get married. However, we had to stay in dog form for the past few years because your grandfather thought that we were the real Sable and Maverick..”A bit confused, Khilu asked how they got to be where her great-grandfather lived to which Kiba replied, “Well we decided to leave the castle grounds after the Bakumatsu Era and traveled around the world.”
Sesshomaru nodded saying that he knew about that Era and how many lords lost their land, telling him that he was wise to leave it under the control of his allies. Nodding, Kiba picked up his tea saying, “So we bounced around Asia for awhile and then after the ‘New World’ was discovered we made our way there and after so many years found out about your family and stayed around to guard them until we wound up back in your service.”
Shiba, who had Khilu in her lap, patted the girl’s head saying, “We’re glad that we hung around when we did because now we can fulfill our duty to protect your family.” Sesshomaru thanked them for their loyalty to which Shiba said, “Not at all my lord. This little on needs our help, and with Jakotsu around you need a bit more help keeping the house secured.” At the mention of his name, the transvestite warrior came in to find the dog-sprites, now dog demon’s, sitting at the table.
Saying that he was off to work, Jakotsu left without another word and that he’d be home early to help with that nights dinner. Hoping to get some down time after learning about Shiba and Kiba, SEiya did not get this wish as he was interrupted by Yari rushing in and handing him a present. Scooping his little brother up, SEiya took the present asking what it was. Smiling the little boy opened it saying, “It’s a picture I made!” Staring at it, Seiya had to admit it did look good for a five year old. Maybe not professional, but at least he could figure out who everyone was.
Sesshomaru had a giant poof of white going down his right shoulder in the picture, and Khilu and RIn looked almost identical except Rin was the taller of the two. Jakotsu was in the picture as well and Seiya was standing next to Sesshomaru. Looking up from his picture, Yari noticed Kiba standing there smiling. The boy blushed and asked, “Who’s that lady?”
Laughing, Seiya set him on the floor telling him that she was named Shiba and a good friend of his. Bowing the boy greeted her politely and received a similar greeting in return along with a, “Pleasure to meet you Yari-san.” Taking his picture, Yari said he was going to have Robert put it in a frame before running off down the stairs. Watching him retreat, Shiba laughed gently saying, “I think he’s become smitten with me.” Seiya told her not to get any ideas before they both walked downstairs laughing at the boys actions.
Downstairs, Robert was sitting with Michelle and playing with Lossonaur. Most of the family took to calling him Michael or any other variation of that. Sesshomaru and Seiya stuck to his first name since he answered to either name equally. His cold was better than it had been, but he was still dripping snot and sneezing on everyone. The whole family adored his ears, which to Inuyasha was a god send because he didn’t have to worry about anyone tweaking his every five minutes.
Still in his pajamas, Seiya sat down and turned on the t.v to watch some shows only to have his dad say, “You’re twenty-eight years old, it’s three in the afternoon, and you’re still in your pajamas?” Opening one of the sodas that was left on the table in a bucket of ice, Seiya popped it open with a smirk and took a long drink. Grabbing a beer from the bucket, Robert did the same and clinked the bottle to the can saying, “Glad to have you home, Son.”
The two drank as they watched a movie that had just come on the television. Occasionally they had to send one of the kids out because of the language. And it would have continued that way when an extremely pregnant Kagome walked in with Inuyasha making them give up the fight to finish the movie. Settling down, Kagome grabbed a bottled water sighing, “I’m beginning to think this child will never pop out.” Chuckling, Seiya put a pillow under her feet and went to tell the kids Kagome was in the house.
Upon receiving the news, Khilu came in and asked if she could feel the woman’s orb like mid-section. Letting the children put their hands on her stomach, Kagome gave a loud grunt as the child kicked. Giggling madly, Khilu ran to Sesshomaru shouting, “I felt the baby kick.” Telling her that was wonderful, Sesshomaru headed upstairs to put Lossonaur down for his nap and came back down to find Jakotsu in the kitchen preparing some food for dinner. The demon grabbed some juice and poured a glass for himself before heading out without a word.
Jakotsu was still keeping quiet about certain things, but he and Seiya were attempting to make some sort of connection once again. Their conversations consisted of grunts and short sentences, yet eye contact was a plateau that wouldn’t be reached for a long time. Sesshomaru had already bought a cake before Khilu was woken up. Rin had picked it out, he just went and paid for it at the local bakery. Kiba and Shiba were in the middle of checking all the food and beverages while Inuyasha snuck cold cuts, sushi, and other party snacks.
Seiya opened up a few gifts while they waited for dinner, he’d gotten a few gifts that were inappropriate for those under the age of 18 and he felt a little guilty for not showing Sesshomaru. He felt bad about the lack of intimacy recently, so much to the point that he didn’t even want to share the same bed as the man. Not because of what happened with Jakotsu, he just felt a bit uncomfortable getting intimate after so long.
Closing the boxes, Seiya felt Sesshomaru wrap his arms over his neck and kiss him while asking, “How long before we get to use that?” Blushing, Seiya muttered something about not knowing which got Michelle chuckling and Kagome snickering. Growling at the women’s reactions, Sesshomaru hissed, “Maybe you should worry about losing that weight instead of what we do in bed.” Bad comment as Kagome’s eyes burned with rage and grabbed a chair and started chasing Sesshomaru around the house while Inuyasha watched amused and the others tried to keep from getting hit.
After an hour of chasing, Sesshomaru had a giant lump on his head, and Kagome was eating her oden happily. Seiya was in the middle of tending the wound on his mate’s head, in between bites of food, and sat back happily to allow his mate access to the food. Lossonaur was sitting in his car seat sleeping peacefully as the family ate. Jakotsu was talking with Shiba about work while Kiba took to getting to know Robert, Michelle, and Yari. The new additions got along great with the family, and thanks to their transforming abilities, they were more than happy to stay in dog form during the night, but that was put to rest as Sesshomaru declared they had enough rooms in the house for them to have one to themselves.
Now for a few measly hours the group enjoyed a peaceful birthday dinner until the children started to yawn. It was about nine at night and both Khilu and Yari began to start whining about wanting to go to bed. Picking up the kids, Shippou took them up to bed and came back down a few minutes later announcing that they went down without a fight. The fox had shown up shortly after dinner giving his possible future father-in-law a present.
Things were going well, Jakotsu and Seiya even had a nice polite conversation, and Robert got a little tipsy. So tipsy that he’d decided to have Shippou and Inuyasha bring in a karaoke machine. Souta, who was sitting in a corner watching the two men struggle through the crowded room. Having just shown up, he felt he had no reason to help do anything except eat the food. Asami had sent Seiya a new kimono. It was a deep blue that fit his personality and he swore he’d wear it during formal functions if it was required. Or as a house robe depending on the mood he was in.
Knowing what was happening, Seiya tried to leave when his dad shouted, “All right! This is a game most of us have played. But, for those of you who don’t know it’s a game called ‘Karaoke Roulette.’” Setting his drink down he said, “Basically it means that whatever song pops up you have to sing it no matter what.” Seiya was nearly out of the living room when Robert walked over saying, “Since you’re trying to escape, you can go first ya little bastard.”
Trying to fight his way back to the stairs, Seiya was shoved over to the machine and had his dad press the button. Looking at the television, they watched a group of songs whizz by when it suddenly stopped on a somewhat inappropriate song. Well, if it was Halloween it would have been inappropriate, but since the picture was sitting on the shelf the song, “Dude Looks Like A Lady,” seemed rather fitting with Sesshomaru in the room. Not wanting to get denied his bed later, Seiya tried to fight it when Sesshomaru said, “It’s the rules of the game so just sing the song.”
Giving up, Seiya took a sip of water and let the music play before he began belting out the lyrics. It was better than most of the people they’d heard sing it, but since he was not Steven Tyler, it sucked beyond all comparisons. He broke down a few times and laughed at looking like a jackass around his family and friends. To make matters worse, Khilu and Yari came down dressed in their pajamas and began to jump around giggling at Seiya and trying to dance with him.
Everyone burst out laughing when Khilu tried to get Sesshomaru up, only to have the man pin her down and make her giggle as he tickled her for trying to get him to dance. When the song was over, Seiya took a bow, grabbed a bottled water, and hid himself in a corner so nobody would comment on his performance. His hopes of peace were dashed when Yari climbed on top of his shoulders shouting, “That song was about Sesshy!”
The whole group fell on the floor with their legs twitching in the air wondering what Sesshomaru was going to do to the boy. The demon did nothing, except watch his father-in-law hit the roulette button to pop up another song that everyone made INuyasha get up and sing. The hanyou’s voice, while tolerable enough to listen to, sounded much like a cat getting hit by a car while going through a meat grinder. Nobody could stop laughing as he stood like a mannequin singing a horrible rendition of the song “Sukiyaki,” in English.
Kagome would have gone, but her condition had her pinned to the couch. Michelle got up and sang, it wasn’t too bad, she had some sense of rythym and did not suffer from the tone deaf condition that Inuyasha did. Shippou was forced into a duet with Rin, much to Sesshomaru’s discontent, but the sudden feel of his mate’s hand on his own let him allow their version of “Somewhere Out There, “ to go off without a vocalization of disapproval.
Robert’s drunken display of, “Pina Colada’s,” was an event in and of itself. Since he was already slightly drunk to start with, he pretty much spoke the lyrics. He even got Shiba to join in with him and dance a bit before falling down, giving up the rest of his performance. Helping her husband up, Michelle took him to one of the guest rooms to let him sleep off the booze while Souta messed with the machine.
After Seiya’s performance, all the names were picked out of a party hat that Kagome had brought with her for Lossonaur to wear. A picture was taken just before the pup started crying and after it was taken off and put to bed, Souta wrote everyone’s name and dumped it in the hat pulling them out in succession. With only the children, himself, Jakotsu, and Sesshomaru left the young man rummaged through the hat staring at the fireplace as he pulled out a bit of paper. The manic glint in his eye told everyone who he’d pulled out. Holding the slip of parchment up he shouted, “It’s time for Mr. High And Mighty to sing!”
While everyone stared at him, Sesshomaru remained glued to his seat growling, “I am not going to belittle myself for your entertainment.” Getting up, Inuyasha said that if he could do it and come out alive, Sesshomaru could handle being made a fool of. Grabbing the hanyou’s throat, Sesshomaru hissed, “That is because you are a fool to begin with.” Squeezing a bit on the half demon’s throat he added, “And I do not allow myself to look as pathetic as you do by existing.” Breaking away from his brother, Inuyasha attempted a punch only to howl in pain as his wife and mate pulled him over to the corner by one of his ears.
Adamant with his decision, Sesshomaru nearly got away with it until Khilu got in his face and with big eyes begged, “Please sing Papa.” The whole room began to chuckle when the girl added in the quivering lip move. Clenching his fist in an attempt to stay strong, Sesshomaru remained glued to his seat still keeping strong. Then the water works began allowing Khilu to add in, “Fine be that way you meanie.” Feeling something snap, Sesshomaru gave a loud sigh saying that he’d get up and sing. Immediately switching gears, Khilu took him by the hand and led him to the microphone before hitting the shuffle button.
Gld to see his daughter had gained control of her manipulation gene, Seiya watched his mate stare at the microphone as the music began to pulse. Most of the songs had been fairly humurous, if you didn’t count Shippou in and Rin’s song they were all happy and allowed for a certain amount of goofiness. But, the sudden pulse of the drums and the piano cues had the human watching his mate closely. The song was a favorite of the demon’s and he hummed it on occasion when hold SEiya, but to see Sesshomaru close his eyes and open his mouth to sing caught amidst his current company was a chance none of them thought they would ever see.
And you ask me what I want this yearAnd I try to make this kind and clearJust a chance that maybe we'll find better daysCuz I don't need boxes wrapped in stringsAnd desire and love and empty thingsJust a chance that maybe we'll find better daysSo take these wordsAnd sing out loudCuz everyone is forgiven nowCuz tonight's the night the world begins againAnd it's someplace simple where we could liveAnd something only you can giveAnd thats faith and trust and peace while we're aliveAnd the one poor child that saved this worldAnd there's 10 million more who probably couldIf we all just stopped and said a prayer for themNobody said anything as the demon sang such a song. Inuyasha who would have made a lewd comment by now was sitting in amazement at the feeling his brother was giving off. Souta gave Seiya the, “He’s good,” look before going to listen. Khilu was beaming happily from Kiba’s lap whispering that her Papa was the best. Chuckling, Kiba patted her head telling her that she was right in admiring her father in such a way. Keeping silent, Seiya continued to listen taking in the full extent of the song.
So take these wordsAnd sing out loudCuz everyone is forgiven nowCuz tonight's the night the world begins againI wish everyone was loved tonightAnd somehow stop this endless fightJust a chance that maybe we'll find better daysSo take these wordsAnd sing out loudCuz everyone is forgiven nowCuz tonight's the night the world begins againCuz tonight's the night the world begins again
When he was finished, Sesshomaru left the mic on top of the machine and took his seat on the couch so he could get all of the guests out of his house sooner. His hair was a bit disheleved and Seiya put his head on the demon’s shoulder watching the others finish their turns. Seiya remained quiet about his mate’s singing, and when everyone was finally gone, he took out some garbage and checked to make sure everyone was in bed before grabbing some ice cream and going into his and Sesshomaru’s room.
While his mate was in the bathroom, Seiya stripped down and got into his new Kimono to check out how it looked. He liked it well enough, the garment hung loosely over his body, and without clothes on underneath pretty much everything was exposed. Settling on his bed with the pint, he opened it up and took a bite as he watched the television. Late night shows weren’t all that great, so he set it to a movie channel when out of nowhere Sesshomaru appeared before him smiling. Holding up the pint he asked, “Ice cream?”
Taking the spoon, Sesshomaru took a bite of the chocolate chip peppered ice cream. Getting an idea, the demon put the spoon into the ice cream, took a scoop, and made it seem like he was going to give it back to his mate when he “accidentally,” dropped it on his mates exposed chest. Giving out a gasp of surprise, Seiya started shouting how cold it was and complaining that it would ruin Asami’s gift.
Putting the ice cream on the night stand, Seiya reached for Sesshomaru’s towel to clean up only to find the demon nuzzling his chest. The ice cream was still sending chills through his body, but the sudden warmth of his mate’s tongue through the frozen liquid had the human whimpering in frustration. Lapping up the dessert off his mate’s nipple, Seiya gave it a light suck before growling, “This is better than adding chocolate sauce to it.”
The reattaching of his mate’s lips to his chest, Seiya began squirming in an attempt to get away from his mate. Chuckling, Sesshomaru licked the rest of the dripping confection off his mate keeping it free of any sticky residue that would arise. Biting his lip, Seiya wanted his mate to stop, but the lust for the demon was over taking him. Making his way up, Sesshomaru sucked on the body that he’d ached for the past half-year. Coming to the mating mark, he saw it was fading a bit. Giving his mate a sideways glance, the demon cupped the human’s chin and turned his face to see the mark. Turning his head to the mark, Sesshomaru opened his mouth and gently bit down on the purple mark.
Letting out a gasp mixed of pain and surprise, Seiya felt a sudden surge of memories attack his brain. Keeping his eyes closed, he saw images of what had happened to Sesshomaru while he was gone. All the sickness, the pain, the doctor’s appointments, and most importantly the suffering he went through after realizing what he’d done with Jakotsu. In the few moments that the connection took place, Seiya opened his eyes to find his mate lapping at the two bite marks closing them with each lick.
When the wounds were closed, Sesshomaru wiped a stray bit of blood from his mouth and kissed his mate deeply. Slowly opening his mouth, Seiya let the demon sneak his tongue brush up against his own wandering muscle. The coppery taste was minor, but Seiya didn’t care, happy to fully understand his mate’s torment, the human pulled his mate close to him before falling against the pillows. Running his hair through the silver strands, Seiya’s heart felt a great deal better when his mate pulled away to stare into his eyes. Brushing them the hair that covered the green gems, Sesshomaru moved down to stroke his mate’s cheek saying, “You never need to feel like that again.”
Taking the boys left hand, SEsshomaru brushed their rings together gently saying, “I chose you and will only ever desire you. These rings,” he moved the gold bands against each other having them make a light rubbing noise in the silence. Moving their hands to their mating marks, Sesshomaru then said, “These marks,” caressing the now deep purple mark on his mate’s body as he said, “and this pendant are proof of that vow. And shall remain that way until our souls are divided.” Leaning up, Seiya kissed his mate with a small smile on his lips.
Breaking the kiss, Seiya’s lips brushed against Sesshomaru’s when he whispered, “You really are a huge sap sometimes.” Growling at the insult, the demon pushed him down and began to attack him with nips and kisses. Laughing, Seiya held the demon to one particular spot he enjoyed having the demon pay attention to it. Knowing what his mate wanted, Sesshomaru pushed up the bottom of his robe exposing the bare hips of the human. Taking hold of the left thigh, Sesshomaru gently suckled on the part between the thigh and hip bone. Sighing happily, Seiya gently rubbed the demon’s ear making his love purr.
Pulling away, Sesshomaru saw the fruits of his labor begin to take form in the shape of a bruise where he’d been sucking. Giving it one more kiss, the demon could see his mate’s excitement take form. Glancing up he could see the half-lidded eyes of the human glancing up at the ceiling. Looking over, he grabbed the ice cream glad to see that it was a liquid, but still cold. Sucking on the human’s inner thigh, Sesshomaru felt a sudden pressure on his head at the boys excitement. Stroking it gently, Sesshomaru took the ice cream and began to pour along the humans thigh and crotch.
Shaking excitedly, Seiya could only pant at the demons velvet tongue clean up the liquid. Letting it drip down his thighs for a moment, slowly licked from his mates knee up to the part where the thigh and crotch me. Continuing his licking, Sesshomaru kept his eyes on his mate happy that to see the deep heaves of his mate’s chest. With the thigh clean, Sesshomaru started to clean the ice cream around the base of his mate’s erection.
“Se...essh...” Choking out the words, Seiya felt himself grow harder than he already was. Lapping the last bit of cream from his mates scrotum, Sesshomaru swirled his tongue up the human’s shaft, and circled the tip before engulfing his mate completely. Panting heavily, Seiya reached back grabbing the headboard to keep him from rising off the bed. Lifting his head up slowly, Sesshomaru cupped his mates sac massaging it gently as his head bobbed up and down sucking him slowly.
Gripping the wooden frame harder, Seiya had to bite down to keep himself from screaming. Pulling his mouth off, Sesshomaru continued to lick his mate as he stared up asking, “Is it too much already?” Glancing down with glazed eyes, Seiya mumbled something incoherently. Stroking the shaft as he took a painfully long lick along the head of his mate’s erection giving it a small suck afterwards. Cursing the demon, as he felt the lick, Seiya laid his head against the pillow groaning in frustration at the demon’s teasing.
Snaking his way up the boys body, Sesshomaru shivered at the softness of his mate’s body as he began to rub against the human while kissing him deeply on the lips. Taking the offer tongue greedily, Seiya gave it a quick suck before pulling away. Panting deeply as he was stroked the human whispered, “I...haven’t...s..INCE..before..” Putting a finger on the human’s mouth, Sesshomaru flipped his mate over and hiked up the tail of the robe exposing his bare bottom. Pushing his hips up, Sesshomaru had the human face down in the pillows with his rear exposed to him.
Reaching over to the night stand, Sesshomaru grabbed one of the new lotions he’d hidden, smeared some on his index finger and slowly pressed into his mates hole. Tensing for only the slightest moment, Seiya relaxed quickly as his mate rubbed the back of his head gently. Keeping still and breathing evenly, Seiya let out a small moan as Sesshomaru began moving his claw from inside of him and back in. Gyrating his hips with the thrusts, Seiya began to move his hand up and down on his erection when he had to stop and let out a stifled scream into the pillows.
Sesshomaru had lubed up his middle finger and slid it in with the forefinger after pulling out. The demon knew his mate was telling the truth, he could smell the pent up pheramones ooze out of his mate in large doses. The smell of his mate’s fluids filled his nostrils making him hungry for the human. Feeling that his mate was loose enough, Sesshomaru continued to loosen the boy as he prepared his own erection. Smearing the liquid over his engorged member, Sesshomaru watched as it glistened in the dim lamp light. Pulling his fingers out earned him an annoyed moan.
Curling his body to the shape of his mate’s, Sesshomaru took Seiyas wedding hand into his own whispering, “Are you ready?” The demon rubbed his tip against the crack in his mate’s rear forcing the human to push back eagerly. Opening his mate, Sesshomaru kissed him on the shoulder as he slid in making the boy gasp loudly. Keeping his gasp to a deep shake of pleasure, Sesshomaru remained still panting into his mate’s ear.
His breathing nearly in sync with his husband’s, Seiya placed a small kiss on the demon’s hand whispering, “You really are excited.” Nibbling on his mate’s ear, Sesshomaru pulled out and slid back in slowly forcing SEiya to push back and clench down on the thick shaft. Gripping his mate’s hip, Sesshomaru continued with a slow pace. The heat coming from his mate was driving his senses insane causing animalistic urges to arise. Fighting them back, Sesshomaru pulled his mate onto him keeping him close and going deeper to into him.
Biting down on a pillow, Seiya felt the urge to scream in pleasure as Sesshomaru continued to press down on his prostate. He didn’t tell Sesshomaru that he’d already came twice, but he was too enamored to say anything. The most he managed was a slight moan or whimper amidst the gentle grunts of the demon’s thrusting. He was still tight, but it was a good tight. The demon’s member stretched him bit by bit making him grip down on the sheets giving him enough energy to moan the demon’s name.
Reaching between his mate’s legs, Sesshomaru felt the huge amounts of semen on his mates thighs. Licking them clean, the demon gripped the shaft with a firm gentleness and began to stroke along with his thrusts. The sudden increase in his mate’s moans urged the demon to make drive harder and deeper into the sweating human beneath him. Watching the drips of sweat fall from his hair onto his mate’s exposed lower back, Sesshomaru leaned down whispering how long he’d ached for the boy.
Not saying anything, Seiya felt his third climax build and erupt into his mate’s hand staining the sheets once again. Panting with satisfaction, Sesshomaru gave one more deep thrust before biting down gently on his mate keeping himself stiff as he shook with his own release. His member jerked inside his mates hole filling it. Staying still for a moment, Sesshomaru kissed his mate all over the back of his neck and shoulders gently holding the human’s hand as he held him.
Moving a bit, Seiya let out a slight moan as Sesshomaru left him. Moaning at the kisses, Seiya said, “You have to clean this robe.” Gently swatting his mates behind, Sesshomaru carried the boy over to the sitting chair they kept in the room before removing the sheets. Seiya’s eyes barely stayed open as he watched the demon put a clean set on the mattress. He was stirred from his sleep by the demon picking him back up, removing his robe, and placing him against the sheets. Falling into them, Seiya turned over pulling his mate towards him to use as a pillow.
Placing the boys drenched head on his bare chest, Sesshomaru stroked his hair as he slept glad that the boy was over his insecurities. This amount of passion wasn’t rare, but for Seiya to act the way he did was. Holding the boy, Sesshomaru had to wipe a tear away at having his mate back. Everything seemed to be perfect when Seiya sleepily asked, “When did it become okay for Rin and Shippou to date?”
Running his hands through the long tresses of blonde, Sesshomaru calmly said, “I allowed her to date him because he has proven that he can take care of her by securing a job and continuing to be respectful of her by not forcing anything upon her.” Grunting some form of agreement, Seiya tried to go to sleep when he felt a rythmic humming vibrate in his mate’s chest. Asking what the demon was humming, Seiya was surprised to hear him ask, “Do you remember the first time we went out in this time?”
Thinking for a moment, the human grunted, “Yeah, we went and saw the play ‘Rent.’” Turning around he asked, “What does a Broadway musical have to do with us right now?” Not receiving a vocal answer, Seiya was let out a small gasp of surprise at Sesshomaru ending up on top of him. Trying to push the demon off, Seiya grunted, “Once is enough, for tonight.” He continued to struggle when he noticed Sesshomaru wasn’t trying to force himself into the human.
Instead, Sesshomaru was asking, “Open your eyes.” Opening his eyes, Seiya found the demon’s eyes looking right into his reflecting the light from the room. Seiya wanted to say something, yet the low baritone of his husband’s singing forced him to listen to a song from the play that dripped with a sadness he’d never heard in the demons voice only a couple of times.
Your Eyes
As We Said Our Goodbyes
Can't Get Them Out Of My Mind
And I Find I Can't Hide (From)
Your Eyes
The Ones That Took Me By Surprise
The Night You Came Into My Life
Where There's Moonlight
I See Your Eyes
How'd I Let You Slip Away
When I'm Longing So To Hold You
Now I'd Die For One More Day
'Cause There's Something I Should
Have Told You
Yes There's Something I Should Have
Told You
When I Looked Into Your Eyes
Why Does Distance Make Us Wise?
You Were The Song All Along
And Before The Song Dies
I Should Tell You I Should Tell You
I Have Always Loved You
You Can See It In My Eyes
Laughing a bit at the choice in songs, Seiya gently brushed the demon’s lips whispering, “You missed me that much?” Rubbing his eyes a bit, Sesshomaru let his body fall across the boys body holding him close. Wrapping the demon in his arms, Seiya just held him close kissing him and whispering, “I love you too.”
