Chapter 9— Dinner at Sesshoumaru's

 

 

Keishi sucked in his breath as he stacked the last red block on top of his creation he called the “ILoveMama” castle. He held the large sized block in between both hands as he tipped on his toes to place it in its position. Releasing the block, a sudden knock at the front door broke his concentration, the pieces of his creation tumbling down.

 

 

Mama cass-so go bye bye. He sighed inwardly kicking the pile of shapes. All of his hard work had gone to nothing.

 

 

Directing his attention out the window, Keishi ignored the blocks he had been playing with once he recognized the stranger outside. Scurrying out of his bedroom, he ran down the stairs in a flash before throwing the front door open and jumping onto the man.

 

 

“Mr. Something!” Keishi gripped Inuyasha tightly around the neck while taking a deep breath of Inuyasha's masculine musk.

 

 

Inuyasha wrapped his arms around the energetic pup tossing the large bag to the side. It had been almost a week since he last saw the family. The weariness that built up during his business trip suddenly lifted the moment he stepped into the home. He was just glad that he'd been able to wrap up the contract faster than what had been planned.

 

 

“Did you miss me?” Inuyasha questioned, nose to nose with Keishi.

 

 

Keishi nodded into Inuyasha's shoulder squealing like a child in a toy store.

 

 

“You go to~o long. Me and mama miss you!” Keishi explained. The boy wasn't letting go of Inuyasha anytime soon.

 

 

Entering the quiet home, Inuyasha set the boy down long enough to take his shoes off. It was late afternoon, yet there was no sign of Kagome anywhere. Staring up from his shoes, Inuyasha spotted Keishi already standing at the top of the stairs motioning for him to follow.

 

 

Inuyasha took the stairs by two catching the boy right before he could make his escape. Spinning the pup around wildly in the hallway, Inuyasha gave him a gentle toss before hugging the pup to his chest. The loud squeals echoing from the boy's chest only ignited the absolute content Inuyasha felt.

 

 

Stumbling into the room dizzily, both hanyou fell onto Keishi's carpet with belly aching laughs. Inuyasha didn't give up the playfulness leaking from his system as he pinned the pup between his legs tickling everywhere his hands could reach. So caught up with the harmless torture on the pup, Inuyasha didn't notice Kagome exit Keishi's bathroom.

 

 

“Inuyasha?” Her voice broke both hanyous' playful behavior, Inuyasha the first to recover.

 

 

Had the pup not been in the room, Inuyasha was sure he would've done the unmentionables with the striking beauty that stood before him. He tried to find his voice, but his vocal chords clamped tight, his eyes nearly popping out from their sockets at Kagome's appearance.

 

 

Without the slightest amount of self-consciousness, Kagome stood two feet away, wrapped in nothing but a short white towel. It had been a while since Inuyasha had last seen her covered in nothing but a flimsy sheet of cotton that he wanted to tear away from her slick body. Sure it hid the more delicate parts of her visage, but that wasn't what worried him. It was the scent that radiated off her pure body. It was scorching its way up his nostrils and down his throat where he swore he could taste her completely.

 

 

Inuyasha fixated his eyes on her body making sure to trail them slowly from top to bottom to inform her that she had his complete and undivided attention. He happened to notice how her damp hair stuck to her creamy skin around her back exposing the skin above her covered chest. His gaze didn't wander too far as water droplets from her hair slid down her body in slow motion before disappearing into the crevice of her chest and down her legs. He grudgingly tore his eyes from her steaming body and stood rigidly trying to regain some sort of composure.

 

 

“Excuse me a moment,” Inuyasha's shaky voice gritted through his teeth as he hurried out the bedroom. Keishi blinked his eyes twice confusingly.

 

 

Running to the closest bathroom, Inuyasha shut the door, his back pressed against its solid form as he slid to the ground. Taking two deep steady breaths that seemed more difficult than it should have, he fisted his hands at his sides. The tent building at the center of his pants obviously was trying to make a statement, but he ignored its pestering poke. He would have damned Kagome for presenting herself so vulnerably but he damned himself for not controlling his own desire for her.

 

 

Within the last month and a half of their mutual confessions, their relationship had remained on the D.L. for the sake of Inuyasha's sanity and Kagome's privacy. Since then, Inuyasha had had lunch with her every single day and dinner later with the pup. Of course he and Kagome had the opportunity to go on a few casual dates with the help of Sango and Miroku, but the dates were never long enough for him.

 

 

On the other hand, their sleepovers remained permanent seeming as none of them could sleep without each other's presence since Inuyasha's trespassing. Mostly during the weeks, Inuyasha slept at Kagome's home as the family later spent the weekends relaxing at his place. It was a routine that Inuyasha enjoyed more than life itself. He already was accustomed to their habits and company that without them, his life was absolute chaos.

 

 

Since he left for the business trip to Osaka a week ago, Inuyasha was constantly irritated. The late night phone conversations with Kagome and Keishi were probably the reason he was able to remain calm each day that he was away from them. He had to admit, he didn't realize how much a person could long for another. It was damn suffocating.

 

 

The few pieces of clothing he had taken from the two Higurashi's probably saved him from wanting to gut himself or any for that matter. Although it didn't have the affect he wanted, it was enough to give his missing heart some peace. He never felt this way about Kikyo and nearly felt bad, but she no longer was an issue for him.

 

 

Still locked inside the bathroom, Inuyasha felt a pulse rumble throughout his body. He knew this feeling well especially since Kagome had jumped back into his life. The demon blood inside of him demanded he bed Kagome until her voice became coarse from yelling his name so many times. He didn't know when that had started happening, but each time they shared a kiss, an electrifying jolt passed through his joints that begged to tear apart her clothes until she laid beneath him in all her nakedness. It wasn't a terrible thought and Inuyasha was pretty sure he was ready for the next step in their relationship. The problem was, was she?

 

 

Unbuttoning a few buttons that suddenly seemed to choke him uncomfortably, the feeling to lay with Kagome became stronger and stronger, her scent swimming around in the air he breathed. There was only a door separating them, but he swallowed those primitive instincts that tried to override his correct state of being as he rested his head against the door. He truly cherished what he had with Kagome, but his blood would not stop acting for him and it scared him.

 

 

He didn't want to rush Kagome into something such as sex so early in their relationship, but he couldn't help that the majority of his thoughts revolved around a bed and her birthday suit. And those pouty lips of hers did nothing more than tease him to death. Although he'd had his thorough share of tasting her lovable lips, his imagination of them around his other anatomical parts was becoming more demanding. Her half naked body that stood still for him earlier, he was sure to die from a nosebleed anytime soon. He could only imagine how it would be to connect with her physically time and time again. He was quite positive the real thing would be more gratifying than the wet dreams he woke from, but for now, his dreams would suffice.

 

 

Trying to erase all thoughts of Kagome and sex, a soft knock to the door brought him back to reality.

 

 

“Inuyasha, are you okay?”

 

 

It was Kagome.

 

 

Standing straight and licking his dry lips, Inuyasha rigidly opened the door for her. She had the decency to put a robe on, which he was thankful for, but through that robe, he was sure she was absolutely and hundred percent naked. He didn't have the sense to do anything but remain silent.

 

 

Keeping his eyes everywhere but on her, he heard her lightly pout as she put both hands on her hips. Curiosity got the best of him as he dared a glance at her, but inwardly bobbed himself on the head. The fire in her eyes was turning him on when it shouldn't have and her spicy anger only slapped him in the face. He tried to smile to distract her from his predatory eyes, but she gave him a hard defiant look. Inuyasha knew he was a dead man.

 

 

“Fine, ignore me Inuyasha,” Kagome sulked turning around to leave the stupefied look he gave her. She was slightly upset that he hadn't even said hello or given her a kiss since his sudden return. Instead, the very moment he laid eyes on her he gave her the impression that he was pleased to see her but within moments he fled quickly as if she was a contagious disease. She was beginning to wonder if he had met another woman during his business trip, but without warning, she was dragged into the bathroom as the door shut behind them.

 

 

Kagome craned her neck to voice her upset, but the large hanyou sandwiched her between his chest and the wall. She had just about enough of his silent treatment until the eagerness of his lips descended on her, pleading for her to respond. Kagome wasn't going to give into him, but the way he kissed her so delicately yet like a starved man, she couldn't help but fall right into his hold. She hated him as much as she loved him but filled the gap between their bodies otherwise.

 

 

Inuyasha took the chance to reacquaint their bodies using his knee to separate her legs, her robe loosening. His nose brushed against hers as their mouths attacked one another full force. His hands rummaged their way into her hair, tilting her to the very spot he knew was sensitive. In response, she moaned into his mouth, Inuyasha drinking in her sexual tone. Neither wanted to stop the loving magic created, but Inuyasha needed a breath and he was convinced Kagome needed one as well.

 

 

He reluctantly tore himself from her, licking his lips enthusiastically for show. Her flavor was refreshing and arousing enough to awaken the beast inside of him and tame him at the same time. Her kiss was exactly what the doctor ordered to energize his every nerve making his heart leap out of his chest to meet her heart in between their entangled bodies.

 

 

Pressing his forehead against hers, his eyes locked onto her beautiful flushed face. Just having her in his arms made his heart do crazy flip flops that he never experienced in his life. He gave her a lazy grin.

 

 

“Hey beautiful,” he finally said slightly out of breath.

 

 

Kagome let out a quiet chuckle as her arms leisurely snaked their way around Inuyasha's neck, her previous upset mood no longer prevalent. “Welcome home handsome.” She pecked his lips. “I thought you'd be gone for another week?”

 

 

Inuyasha gave her a wolfish smirk. “I could go for another week if you want.”

 

 

Kagome immediately shook her head tugging his body close to her own. “I've missed you,” she admitted quietly into his chest. If she gave him any indication that she wanted him gone, she needed to show him that that was the last thing she wished for.

 

 

He tipped her head back enough to see the evident blush stealing all color on her face. He loved how he could turn her into a shy fifteen year old girl who just experienced her first kiss. He couldn't help but kiss her cute nose.

 

 

“I've missed you more than you know,” he drawled, twisting a few strands of her semi-dry hair and bringing it to his nose. “I even stole a pair of your panties before I left to keep sane.” Inuyasha didn't miss the look she gave him next.

 

 

“You what?” Kagome was speechless, her mouth flapping open and close. Out of all the things he could have taken, he had taken her underpants. How was she not surprised.

 

 

Men, she thought to herself.

 

 

“Did you take anything else I should be aware of?” Now, she was just teasing him, trying to stifle the bouts of laugher that were going to explode from her chest.

 

 

Inuyasha let her have her moment. “I also took a shirt from the pup,” he confessed. “You have no idea how hard it was sleeping with a pair of panties and miniature shirt that started losing scent.” Inuyasha stopped speaking when he felt a warm gaze penetrate his body.

 

 

Without question, Kagome squeezed his torso closer to her body. It wasn't surprising to Kagome that Inuyasha had stolen a pair of her underwear, but the fact that he had snuck one of Keishi's shirts into his bag, that thought sent her to cloud nine. She couldn't help but latch her petal soft lips onto his unguarded ones, telling him how much she appreciated his very being.

 

 

Inuyasha's smile widened if that was even possible. He enjoyed the moisture they were creating, but her sneaky fingers found his biggest weakness and began to rub his ears in a place near ecstasy. Freeing himself from her bruised attack, he dug his nose into the nape of her neck, his tongue flicking out to run against her skin. Their current embrace made him forget the loneliness of being without her and Keishi that long dreadful week.

 

 

Running his burning hands down her sides, his nimble fingers tugged at the tie around her waist. Kagome didn't hesitate as he split her robe open wide revealing a thin and short silk nightgown much to his dissatisfaction.

 

 

“And here I thought you'd be naked,” Inuyasha joked. He slowly pulled the robe around her again, kissing her forehead. He held her still a little longer to reassure himself that she was wholly and physically within his arms. His goofy smile never left his cheeks.

 

 

Clearing his throat, Inuyasha released Kagome from his bone crushing embrace. “We'd better see what the pup's doing. We've been here for a while now.”

 

 

As if those were the words that reminded Kagome she had a son, she slipped from Inuyasha's body intertwining their fingers and leading them out of the fogging bathroom. They wandered towards Kagome's bedroom where she had left Keishi with the television running.

 

 

When they entered the room, they didn't expect to see the little hanyou sitting on the bed with the house phone against his ear.

Sesshoumaru rolled his neck to relieve the stiffness created from the lack of sleep he'd been getting due to the pile of work that seemed to grow with each blink. Sipping his warm brewed cup of tea Rin had set down not too long ago, he suddenly remembered the favor he promised his wife. Had it been any other person, Sesshoumaru would've declined, but his dear mate had bat her beautiful large eyes at him while begging him to remember to give a call to a certain Doctor Higurashi about a dinner they were planning a week out. Of course he wouldn't deny his mate, especially when she whispered a promise she'd take care of later that night when they were alone in bed.

 

 

He honestly wasn't up to calling the very woman that his idiot brother had knocked up and left to fend for herself. He never did figure out why he had helped Kagome that one morning when she snuck out of his brother's room, the smell of sex and booze all over her. It baffled the great Sesshoumaru, but he assumed that the hatred he had for Inuyasha back then was the reason.

 

 

As much as Sesshoumaru still hated Inuyasha's guts, there were many times when he wanted to tell his brother that Kagome had given birth to Inuyasha's heir. Sesshoumaru remembered well the absolute excitement Inuyasha had when he told Sesshoumaru about being official with Kagome and how adorable her son was. He'd never seen Inuyasha that happy since before Kagome left the hanyou's life that Sesshoumaru almost spilled the information on Keishi to clear his guilty conscious, yet he held his tongue.

 

 

The demon lord finally had a taste of what it was like to have love to protect and shelter. It was a sentiment that warmed this very existence and he wanted Inuyasha to experience it as well.

 

 

Sesshoumaru knew for a fact that he hadn't been the greatest of a brother to Inuyasha since their parents passed away. When Inuyasha had met Kikyo after moving to Tokyo, Sesshoumaru had left it to that woman to occupy Inuyasha's mourning heart and thought for sure she was his destined mate, but things changed drastically when Kagome moved to Tokyo. Just when Sesshoumaru thought he'd seen Inuyasha's unguarded laughter with Kikyo, he was quite surprised to see the multitude of soft expressions Inuyasha exposed when he was with Kagome.

 

 

However, happiness was never in Inuyasha's favor. The day four years ago, Kagome Higurashi disappeared from the world posing as a student studying abroad in America. Sesshoumaru committed to mind the intricate plan he and Kagome's family had devised to keep Inuyasha and Kikyo out of the loop but now that Inuyasha was with her, it only haunted Sesshoumaru's dream should Inuyasha ever find out. He knew Inuyasha's wrath and if this information was not explained to Inuyasha in a calm matter, the Sesshoumaru could not guarantee a happy ending for anyone.

 

 

Setting the delicate tea cup down, Sesshoumaru reached for the phone, dialing the number Rin had so kindly written down on the pad of paper. It rang a few times and he was just about to hang up and try again until he heard the line pick up.

 

 

“Hello? This is Hee-gur-rah-shee house. Who you speak to?”

 

 

Sesshoumaru's brow quirked upward when the squeaky voice passed through his ears. He didn't need to be told, but he was sure he was speaking with the pup.

 

 

“Can I speak to your mother?” The demon finally asked tapping his fingers impatiently on his desk.

 

 

“Mama?” Keishi reiterated, turning off the colorful screen of the cartoon show to clearly hear the stranger. “She wit Mr. Something.” He blatantly put rolling on his back. “Who are you?”

 

 

By now, the demon lord was slightly confused. Was there another man that Kagome Higurashi was seeing? Now that Sesshoumaru thought about it, his idiot brother was in Osaka doing business and wouldn't be home till next week. Perhaps she was playing Inuyasha for a fool and somehow that thought didn't sit well with Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha was finally picking up his life again and as much as Sesshoumaru appreciated and respected Kagome, he would not tolerate her cheating behavior with this… Mr. Something. He could only imagine the damage it would do to Inuyasha's already mending heart.

 

 

“Hello? Who are you?” Keishi asked again breaking Sesshoumaru's ugly consideration.

 

 

The demon cleared his throat. “I am Sesshoumaru Takahashi. May I speak with your mother?” he reminded, feeling the urge to hang up and call Inuyasha to warn him about his current girlfriend's meeting with another man.

 

 

Keishi clucked his tongue. “What the magic word Sashowmoo?”

 

 

As if the boy was mocking him on the other line, he heard the boy snicker in a similar fashion that Inuyasha always did. It only amused the great Sesshoumaru more. He assumed he had a better chance with speaking with the woman Higurashi if he hung up and called later seeming as his temper was not at the right notch, but the sound of voices could be heard in the background.

 

 

“Keishi, who are you talking to?” A woman's voice could be made out from Sesshoumaru's ears followed by the pattering of tiny feet.

 

 

“I talk to Sashowmoo mama! He funny!” The pup giggled holding the phone up to his mom. Before Kagome could handle the phone, Inuyasha already snatched it up.

 

 

Sesshoumaru waited for a few moments until he heard a gruff voice he didn't expect.

 

 

“Bastard, what the hell do you want?” Inuyasha bit, surprising Sesshoumaru without a doubt.

 

 

Sesshoumaru, about to speak, was interrupted by Kagome's angry voice as she scolded the older hanyou for his use of language in which Inuyasha immediately apologized and bent down at her will. For some unknown reason Sesshoumaru was very very pleased.

 

 

So, he is Mr. Something? The demon lord smirked enjoying the knowledge and admonished himself for even thinking that Kagome would be any bit unfaithful to Inuyasha. How could he forget how much in love that foolish girl was with his brother?

 

 

“Seems like things went well with in Osaka if you are home so early?” Sesshoumaru replied finally.

 

 

Inuyasha `keh-ed'. “It was a piece of cake. Those old farts couldn't resist the offer we were giving them.” He hanyou prided. “So, what the fu— what do you want?” Inuyasha caught himself before Kagome could scold him a second time. “If you needed to talk you could have called me directly.”

 

 

From Inuyasha's tone, Sesshoumaru could tell his brother was definitely aggravated. Well, it served him right seeing as the hanyou didn't even contact Sesshoumaru about the success in their business. It was just a coincidence that Sesshoumaru had caught Inuyasha at the Higurashi home this evening.

 

 

“My business is not with you but with Higurashi,” the demon stated with all calm.

 

 

“Whatever business you have with Kagome is my business!” Inuyasha raised his voice nearly growling into the phone.

 

 

The elder brother noticed the edge of possessiveness in Inuyasha's voice. “I suppose.” The great Sesshoumaru rolled back his chair to rest his elbows on the edge. “Next Friday, Rin is holding a thank you dinner for Doctor Higurashi at the mansion.” Sesshoumaru could hear the bout of argument Inuyasha was gonna feed him, but he intercepted. “Of course your presence and the pup are welcomed. It'll only be us,” he clarified.

 

 

Inuyasha was silent for a moment. “Fine,” he paused taking a breath, “You know I'm only agreeing because of Rin.”

 

 

Sesshoumaru nodded in his seat. “Of course,” he stated the obvious. “As long as you don't upset my mate, I have no reason to kill you.”

 

 

“Is that right?” Inuyasha taunted, but Sesshoumaru ended the call before he was forced to listen to an earful of nonsense. That was the last thing he needed in his already stressful day.

 

 

Picking up his pen, he began the tedious work, signing papers and discarding some. He usually wasn't behind in all the paperwork provided to him. Sesshoumaru was pretty good at keeping his desk tidy and pile free, but since the birth of his pup, work was never on his mind. As if that thought was strong enough to communicate the desire to see his family, Rin walked through the door with a small bundle.

 

 

She was trying to quiet the wailing baby with her soothing voice, but to no avail. Ignoring the work at his desk, Sesshoumaru went to his mate and child. He offered his arms out to the baby who gladly swayed his chubby arms out to his papa. Lifting his fragile son into his arms, Sesshoumaru rested the baby into the crook of his arm supporting the child's back with his hand. He dipped his head down to kiss the boy's nose. It was a quick affectionate touch, but enough to quiet the child immediately.

 

 

“I knew our little Jun wanted his papa.” Rin went to her husband's side, wrapping her slender arm around his waist and resting her head on his arm.

 

 

The parents silently observed their little bundle of joy as he displayed a brilliant smile, looking solely at Sesshoumaru.

 

 

“Eh? Did you see that Sesshy?” Rin tipped on her toes to kiss her drowsy son not realizing the trance her husband was in. A comforting glow radiated off the powerful demon along with his vulnerable expression. It wasn't often Rin got to see Sesshoumaru loose and unguarded.

 

 

“That's not fair,” she pouted, breaking Sesshoumaru's concentration. “Jun never smiles like that when he's with me.” Rin chewed her lower lip like a whiny three year old. Her son was already picking favorites. “Then again,” she kissed Sesshoumaru on the chin, “Me and our son do know our Sesshy best.”

 

 

The demon lord sighed contently with the presence of those that made him feel alive in his otherwise empty world. His gaze never left the tiny sleeping hanyou pup in his arms. It was a wonder how he and Rin had produced such an innocent and endearing child. The feeling was indescribable and impenetrable that somewhere in Sesshoumaru's heart, he wondered if he should have ever denied Inuyasha such a blissful sensation of being a father.

Friday night came sooner than everyone would have liked.

 

 

Straightening the bowtie around Keishi's neck, Inuyasha let go to inspect his handiwork. He had to admit, he'd done a fine job dressing the pup in the small tuxedo Kagome had bought not too long ago. Letting the boy run off to play with the set of miniature cars he had bought during a trip to the toy store earlier that week, Inuyasha set off to find his Kagome.

 

 

It didn't take him very long when he spotted her in the bathroom clipping on a pair of diamond earrings he'd gotten her yesterday. He definitely could've cared less about the earrings especially when he was wildly distracted by her black knee length dress. A devilish grin pasted his face as he cunningly draped his arms around her torso, kissing his way up her neck. He felt her shiver and didn't miss the pitch in her breathing which only excited his raging hormones.

 

 

“Inuyasha,” Kagome warned lightly. “I'd like to look presentable when I greet your brother and Rin.” She tried to shake herself out of his hold, but her actions motivated the hanyou more as he sucked on her earlobe, his tongue rolling around the very earring she had just inserted.

 

 

Kagome hated how he made her weak in the knees, her bones turning to instant mush in his embrace. Just when she thought he would continue with his melting kisses, he stopped, spinning her around. She was greeted with his handsome face, a blush stealing her cheeks. She could have sworn that Inuyasha's attractiveness had definitely increased within the last hour. She didn't know if it was the way his tuxedo fitted him perfectly or if it was the way he smiled so gently for her. Either way, she was a sucker for him.

 

 

“So, you like it?” Inuyasha questioned, Kagome not having the slightest clue as to what he was referring too.

 

 

“Do I like what?” She wrapped a thick strand of his hair between her fingers drawing him closer. Inuyasha had to hold his breath in order to not fall for her seductive trap. She didn't know how much her body and scent was affecting him.

 

 

“Look down,” he said nonchalantly waiting for the reaction he had anticipated all night.

 

 

She gave him a stern look before following his orders. “Inuyasha, its—” Kagome was lost for words, her fingers gently gripping the beautiful cut jade stone hanging around her neck. She didn't even realize he had put it on her.

 

 

Inuyasha watched as her mouth moved like a fish drinking water. “It was my mother's,” he said with an air of sadness. He saw the look Kagome was giving him and before she could argue that she shouldn't keep the darn necklace Inuyasha silenced her.

 

 

“I want you to have it,” he stated firmly giving her no choice in his decision. “Mother would've been ecstatic to see you wear it.”

 

 

His fingers automatically went to her face, wiping away the few droplets of her tears he didn't predict. This woman, he never knew how fragile she could be with a few words and a piece of old jewelry. Kissing her forehead, he held her close for a few moments until she let go to face him.

 

 

“Thank you,” she kissed his lips once. “I'll always keep it safe.”

 

 

Inuyasha smirked. “You think I didn't know that?”

 

 

Kagome laughed into his shoulder. He always knew what to say to lighten up the mood. It was no wonder Kagome had fallen in love with him such a long time ago. They maintained their embrace, enjoying the quiet and comfortable mood, but of course it never lasted long.

 

 

“Mama! Mr. Something! We late!” Keishi shouted from the door already slipping on his no lace dress shoes.

 

 

Inuyasha checked the time on his watch. It was only six, they had a complete hour to get to Sesshoumaru's place and if it wasn't Rin who had planned this dinner, he would've liked to show up late.

 

 

Straightening out his lovely date, Inuyasha shooed her out the door. “Woman, your son will have our arses if we don't hurry along,” he cautioned.

 

 

She only laughed at his statement as they made their way out the door.

 

 

It took a good forty-five minutes before they arrived at the great Sesshoumaru's mansion. It didn't surprise Inuyasha that Keishi had fallen asleep once the car started. That boy, it was a habit of his that Inuyasha didn't mind at all.

 

 

Killing the engine, Inuyasha quickly exited to open the door for Kagome. She thanked him, tugging her thin cardigan tighter to escape the chilly wind. Inuyasha shrugged the coat of his tux, dropping it over her shoulders. He wasn't going to let his woman freeze now was he?

 

 

Her surprised expression created the throaty thrill in the back of his neck as he went to wake the pup. He tried rubbing Keishi's ears to at least stir the sleeping boy, but it only added to relaxing him as he crawled up Inuyasha's arms snoozing away. Giving up, Inuyasha hefted the boy onto his shoulder, slipping the car keys into his pocket.

 

 

With one arm secured around the pup, Inuyasha offered his unoccupied hand to Kagome. She took it gracefully, her slim fingers finding their rightful space between each of his own. Inuyasha couldn't help but lift her hand to his lips, lingering there for a while before attempting to fit their hands into his pants pocket. It didn't work out as well as he thought seeming their combined hands were too large, but he kept her hand warm anyways.

 

 

Steadfastly trekking to the large castle, the front doors opened before they even made it up the stairs.

 

 

“This way please.” The stout man ushered them across the wide opening of the room through a set of opaque french doors finally stopping. “The Master and Missus await you.” They thanked the butler before entering the space beyond them.

 

 

Inuyasha unconsciously jerked Kagome and Keishi closer to his body. Although he could trust Rin, Inuyasha didn't rightfully trust his brother. He was the first to spot the couple sitting beside each other, their child sprawled on their laps as they rubbed the young pup's belly. Inuyasha noticed the casual and relaxed features displayed on his elder brothers usual stoic face. It was a sight Inuyasha never imagined in a lifetime. Suddenly, the danger he felt when they entered Sesshoumaru's home came to a standstill.

 

 

“Welcome,” Sesshoumaru muttered, handing his son to Rin. The astonished woman quickly looked up to her guest giving them a cheerful smile.

 

 

“Yes, welcome!” Rin practically shouted gleefully, balancing her son in her petite arms. “Sorry we didn't come greet you. Our little Jun was just waking up.”

 

 

“It's not a problem at all,” Kagome commented, trailing over to Rin and the baby.

 

 

Inuyasha kept a careful eye on Sesshoumaru as Kagome chatted away with Rin on the couch. The entire time, Inuyasha was sure his brother was intently burning holes into his head, but Sesshoumaru's gaze was completely focused on the small child in Inuyasha's arms. He ignored Sesshoumaru's mental gaze, slightly tightening his grip on Keishi. The strange desire to gouge Sesshoumaru's eyes due to the excess amount of staring was weighing heavily on Inuyasha.

 

 

As if the demon lord could feel Inuyasha's animosity, he changed his fixation onto the two chattering women.

 

 

“Rin,” Sesshoumaru interrupted their conversation. “Escort Inuyasha to a room where the pup may rest for the time being.” There was a strong demanding tone behind his solid eyes as he turned his attention to Kagome. “Higurashi, I'd like a word with you.”

 

 

Rin saw the unyielding look her mate gave them and quickly pushed the struggling hanyou out of the room. Of course Inuyasha didn't leave without a fight.

 

 

“You don't need to say nothing to her bastard!” The hanyou was already jumping to unknown conclusions, his eyes flashing red for an instant. No one noticed the change, Kagome clinging onto Inuyasha's arm to deter an oncoming violence.

 

 

“It's okay Inuyasha,” she showered him with a reassuring smile hoping he would fall for it. “I'm sure it won't be long.”

 

 

Inuyasha wasn't going to agree with her, but the bright smile she offered him calmed the temper rising in his blood.

 

 

“Fine,” he choked through his clenched teeth, “But if he so much as makes you uncomfortable just call me and I'll kick his ass.”

 

 

“There will be no ass kicking tonight young man,” Rin informed glad that things hadn't ended in a brawl. Scooting Inuyasha out, Rin kindly pulled the doors shut much to Inuyasha's discomfort.

 

 

They had made it towards the end of the hall that seemed too far away from the current room they had just occupied. Entering a dark empty room, Rin restrained from turning the lights on full blast knowing well how sensitive hanyou were.

 

 

Inuyasha wasted no time, pulling the bed sheets back to tuck Keishi in snuggly. He laid beside the pup for a few minutes until he was certain Keishi would not wake. Inuyasha needed to be where Kagome was, but Rin held him back.

 

 

“Don't worry so much Inuyasha,” Rin offered. “Sesshy won't hurt her.”

 

 

As much as Rin believed her mate wouldn't harm a defenseless human woman, Inuyasha couldn't say the same for Kagome. He wanted to beat himself up for leaving Kagome alone with his brother. What was he thinking?

 

 

Inuyasha was out in the hall before Rin could stop him. He was only going to make sure she was alright. There was this ugly feeling in his gut when he thought of Kagome alone in a room with another man even if that man was his happily mated brother. It tortured his soul more than he thought it could.

 

 

Briskly finding the room, he planned to barge through the doors, but a snippet of their conversation floated to his ears.

 

 

“So, Inuyasha doesn't know yet?” Sesshoumaru said in a hushed voice.

 

 

Kagome spoke quietly “No, not yet.”

 

 

“I see.”

 

 

There was a pause, the chance that Inuyasha was going to take to enter and save Kagome as he gripped the door handle, but Sesshoumaru's bass voice stopped him.

 

 

“Higurashi, it won't be long until Inuyasha finds out that your son is his.”

 

 

A loud ringing buzzed through Inuyasha's ears. Did he just hear wrong? Inuyasha's hand shook, all his energy draining in seconds as he forced himself to listen.

 

 

“I know,” she said disheartened. “I'll tell him soon. I'll—”

 

 

Somewhere in Inuyasha's brain, a single nerve had compelled him to turn the knob, his shaken body moving on its own accord. He startled Kagome who instantly turned to see his face completely torn like his parents had come back to life only to be killed again in a gruesome joke to remind him that love was just a lie.

 

 

“Inuyasha what—”

 

 

“Tell me,” Inuyasha stalked up to Kagome, looking at her with dazed eyes. “Is it true? Keishi he… he's my son?”

 

 

Kagome's eyes widened in shock.

 

 

When she didn't say a word and tilted her head until her bangs covered her face Inuyasha knew the answer to his question. Everything he had heard, it was the truth. How could he not see it? The hair, the eyes, the fangs, everything about the small child, it was because Keishi had inherited everything from Inuyasha. How could he be so stupid to not even recognize his own flesh and blood?

 

 

“Inuyasha,” Kagome grasped his hands. “Let me explain -”

 

 

The distressed hanyou slapped her hands away like a proverbial bacteria. He wanted to remain calm, but nothing was making sense to him. He didn't remember a time when he ever slept with her more or less touched her where a child came out of. When he looked at Kagome, all he could see were lies covered by deeper lies and distrust. He didn't know this woman. She wasn't the Kagome he knew.

 

 

When she latched herself onto him, he shoved her away, Sesshoumaru catching her before she injured herself. Inuyasha stared at the two, the pit of his stomach dissolving into a putrid acid.

 

 

“This entire time, you knew,” Inuyasha said in disbelief, not sure if he was speaking to Kagome, Sesshoumaru, or the both of them. A sad chuckle resounded deep from within his chest. He gave them a hard stare, Kagome's tears hitting his nose, but he ignored it. Her tears meant nothing to him now.

 

 

“You're just like your cousin you know,” he barked blindly through his anger. Those words, he didn't intend to say them, but betrayal and hurt cut him severely, penetrating through the old wounds that use to fester and spread. “This relationship… won't work Kagome.” He fisted his hands until his claws dug deeply into his skin to ensure he wouldn't attack anyone.

 

 

Here he thought he was doing everything well to deserve a beautiful woman like Kagome, but in the end she was a deceitful liar. He wasn't going to fall for her sobs and her weak body that tried to communicate to him. In his eyes, she was just another eye sore.
