Miroku’s feet hurt, his eyes felt grainy and he really would have liked to rest for a few moments. But they still hadn’t found Inuyasha, and Miroku was reluctant to allow more distance to be put between the group and the hanyo. However Koga had remarked that Inuyasha’s scent was getting stronger as they neared the northern cliffs, to top it all off the brown haired wolf didn’t seem tired at all. “Don’t compare yourself to me Miroku, we are different species you and I. plus wolves are known for there stamina.” Koga whispered, as if reading Miroku’s mind. Miroku shook his head roughly; he hadn’t even noticed Koga coming up alongside him, which wasn’t a very good showing of his awareness at the moment.
Looking back Miroku’ noticed the girls beginning to slow, outwardly Sango showed nothing. The slayer stood tall, not a trip or a stumble, Kagome on the other hand looked utterly exhausted, and Miroku couldn’t help but be surprised that she had not voiced a single complaint yet. Had Inuyasha himself been leading them he was almost dead sure she would have. “We haven’t found Inuyasha yet.” Miroku replied, keeping his voice low. Inwardly he felt foolish, whispering like a couple of school children. But in recent days it was practically a necessity, as any mention of Inuyasha would inevitably draw Kagome’s attention, and Miroku really wasn’t in the mood to deal with what that could bring.
“So you don’t intend to rest until he is found?” Koga asked….his voice….strange. Chalking it up to his own stress and mental fatigue Miroku answered.
“If need be.” Koga shot Miroku a thoughtful look, before a cocky smirk spread upon his face.
“Alright people, lets take five kay?” Koga said coming to a halt. Miroku glared at the wolf prince.
“What happened to that stamina you were bragging about?” Miroku commented snidely as he slide to rest against a tree. Koga’s eyes met Miroku’s
“Monk….you have no idea how much…….stamina I truly have.” Koga quipped, voice slightly husky. Miroku felt his face get slightly hot. Just what did Koga mean by that? “Well I’m gonna go take a look around….don’t get eaten or anything while I’m gone.” Koga said as he walked off into the woods.
Sango and Kagome had already begun to make themselves comfortable and Kagome had begun to dig through her pack, searching for the food she stored in there. “Have I ever told you how much the things from you time help out Kagome?” Sango said. “It’s all really amazing; I wish I could see it.” Kagome smiled.
“Thanks Sango, well maybe I could bring you some pictures to look at.” Kagome gushed.
“Pictures?” Sango replied, obviously confused.
As the girls continued to talk, Shippo dropped to the ground next to Miroku. The little fox kit looked absolutely miserable. “Hey Shippo….are you alright?” Miroku asked.
“No. Not really.” Shippo whispered. Before Miroku could reply Koga came back through the trees.
“Miroku, could you come with me? I need your help with something.” Koga said. Miroku looked over at the wolf prince. What could Koga need his help with?
“Is it dangerous?” Sango asked, touching her large bone weapon.
“No, nothing like that, it’s a male thing.” Koga answered. As Miroku stood up, he looked down at Shippo.
“Shippo would you like to come with us?” Miroku asked. Shippo looked up, his eye’s filled with emotions couldn’t quite read.
“No.” was the Kitsune’s soft reply. Miroku chewed on his lip as he walked towards Koga, the wolf turning and leading them into the forest. Shippo’s behavior worried him, he had never seen the child like this, and it wasn’t just him that that was worried. Not even Kagome could shake the child out of it, indeed if anything the little fox seemed to be pulling further and further away from his adoptive mother.
Miroku sighed. “So many problems, when did the world flip upside down?” Miroku thought. Looking over at Koga again Miroku noticed just how far into the forest they had gone. “Where are we going Koga? What did you need me for?” Miroku asked.
“Technically nothing. I found a hot spring and I don’t feel like waiting for the women to go first, plus there are a few things I want to talk to you about.” Koga replied.
Although Miroku had harbored some reservations about bathing before the girls, it just wasn’t gentlemanly, his misgivings melted away as the warm water slipped around his naked skin, enveloping him. Letting out a pleasant sigh Miroku slid his body into a grove in the rock wall of the spring, letting his eyes drift shut. “Enjoying yourself?” Koga’s voice rang out. Miroku didn’t even open his eyes to answer.
“Mmmhmmm.”
“Good a relaxed body helps relax the mind and you monk have been very uptight lately.” Koga said. “Does Inuyasha leaving your group bother you so much?” Miroku really did not want to think right now…more then almost anything he wanted to simply drift in that warm, refreshing water. But more then that, he wanted to find Inuyasha.
“He is my friend; I am worried about him, about his safety and his health.” Miroku answered.
“I hate to point this out Miroku, but Inuyasha can survive on his own without any of you.” Koga said.
“Maybe so, but there is still his mental health to be concerned with. The poor hanyo has been pushed so far in his life.” Miroku snapped. What was Koga suggesting? That they just give up and leave Inuyasha out on his own?
“No need to get cranky monk….I’m just saying that Inuyasha is far more powerful then you give him credit for. But…..if the scent is anything to go by then we should be almost on top of him.” Koga said. Well that was good; honestly Miroku wasn’t sure what would happen when they finally did catch up to Inuyasha. All he knew was he did not want the last thing Inuyasha thought of him being a person who was trying to hurt him. He needed to explain himself, to explain why he had touched the beads.
“Good to know…” Miroku whispered.
“You’re….your really loyal to Inuyasha aren’t you?” Koga said, his voice taking a soft tone. Miroku opened his eyes slowly, leveling his gaze on the wolf. Koga was staring at him strangely, and Miroku couldn’t quite put his finger on what the wolf prince’s look might have meant.
“Yes. Of course I am. He’s one of the few people to ever willingly get close to me. As you might imagine having a hole in your hand that pulls things into oblivion doesn’t really inspire friendship in people.” Miroku answered.
“You know….loyalty is a big plus among wolves, especially in…certain roles.” Koga said. Miroku’s eyes narrowed, what in the world did that mean?
Shippo felt horrible, as a matter of fact he hadn’t felt this bad since his parent’s death and this was without the call for vengeance filling him, Inuyasha’s words kept ringing within his skull. It really hadn’t bothered him very much at first, after all Inuyasha often said lots of things he didn’t mean. But he didn’t usually leave like that, and he certainly didn’t stay gone, and with every second his adoptive father remained gone, his words drove deeper and deeper into Shippo’s mind. It hurt….it really really hurt and what was worse was the realization that it was all his fault. He’d been horrible to a person who had taken him in when he didn’t have anywhere else to go. Sure Kagome had, had a hand in it, but when it came right down to it Inuyasha had done the most. Who had killed the thunder brothers thus avenging his dead parents? Inuyasha. Who had watched over him while he had slept? Inuyasha. That was one thing Shippo was now beginning to appreciate more and more. Since Inuyasha had left Shippo could hardly sleep, he didn’t feel safe, even buried against Kagome’s side.
And it wasn’t just that Inuyasha had left, he had left without even thinking of taking Shippo with him, and so it was obvious that he didn’t want him at his side. The thought drove into Shippo’s little heart, causing tears to begin to form once more, and for once Shippo couldn’t blame him. He never would have even THOUGHT about treating his birth father like he had Inuyasha, for one thing the older fox would not have tolerated it for a second. Discipline would have been in order, no doubt about that. But looking back Shippo could clearly think of times when Inuyasha had been set on punishing him, only to have Kagome plant him into the ground. On one hand that saved his ass from a whooping and on the other Shippo could see just how much that would frustrate Inuyasha. If he couldn’t demand the respect that was rightfully his, then why should he bother attempting to raise his adopted son? After all, the whole situation ended up making Inuyasha his father in title only, and the more he thought about it the more Shippo felt more then a little ashamed of himself, he had reveled in Inuyasha’s helplessness before Kagome, the thrill of being able to get away with nearly anything, and now because of his selfishness and blatant disobedience here he was, a small young demon, left without a father. Sure he had Kagome but Inuyasha words rang true, she didn’t know the first thing about demons really and how could he be raised by someone who even under the best of circumstances wouldn’t live even a third of his lifespan. If Shippo even lived that long, Kagome wasn’t nearly as strong or alert as Inuyasha, and even if he did somehow manage to survive with her, after an all to short period, he would be left alone, with barley an inkling of how to care for himself.
His mind filled with such thoughts, Shippo couldn’t help but wander away from Kagome and Sango. He meant no offense to them, but he just wanted to be alone for a little while. Planting himself down at the base of a tree Shippo continued his brooding thoughts. His youki had been berating him in its own way, although he was too young to hear its voice, he knew within time its strength would grow. Even though he couldn’t hear it, he could feel the message it was trying to get across. Inuyasha’s never had a family it rang within him. Now just imagine how it made him feel, the one who calls himself his son treating him like that. He tried to reach out to you, to care for you and look what you did, you spurned him, hurled his attempts back in his face.
That wasn’t all true….it wasn’t all his fault, Kagome never had to do what she’d done. But…..he’d never said anything had he, no he had never come to his father’s defense, even worse he’d laughed at him. Another pain tore though Shippo, “I….never even called him father….I called him dog-boy all the time…never even…” Shippo whispered to himself. Tears spilled down his cheeks as he sobbed to himself, he missed Inuyasha, he wanted to apologize, and he wanted to prove himself worthy of being Inuyasha’s son.
He wanted his father back.
Pain and regret bubbled up inside him, filling him to the point of bursting; he just couldn’t hold it back any longer. Tipping his head back Shippo let out a mournful howl, calling out to Inuyasha. He was sorry….he was so sorry.
As they walked back from the hot spring Miroku’s mind continued to churn, trying to uncover the meaning behind Koga’s words and looks. What was the wolf up to? He was acting so strange and for the life of him Miroku couldn’t figure out why. Koga had never acted like this before; as a matter of fact he had only started a short while after Inuyasha’s departure. He was just about to bring the matter up with Koga himself when a low sobbing howl slid through the air.
“What was that?” Miroku asked, gripping his staff tight. Where the others in danger?
“It….it sounds like Shippo.” Koga murmured. His arms crossed over his chest.
“Is he hurt? Has something happened? We should hurry back!” Miroku half shouted.
“Calm yourself monk…he’s aright, physically anyway. He’s just doing what any young demon would do.” Koga said.
“What any demon would do? Do what? What’s going on?” Miroku asked. The howl rang out again, cracking slightly, the raw emotion so thick it actually made Miroku’s chest ache. Looking over at Koga Miroku noticed the wolf prince was rubbing his heart gently, as he must have felt it to.
“He’s calling out. He’s alone, he’s scared and hurting.” Koga answered.
“Alone? But Kagome and Sango are there.” Miroku replied. Koga shot him an annoyed look.
“They are human. It’s different. And if I had to guess I’d say he is calling out to Inuyasha.” Koga said.
“To Inuyasha?” Miroku muttered. The wolf prince nodded.
“That’s my best guess.” Koga said.
Inuyasha sat up quickly, his ears straining. “What was that?” He mumbled. It sounded like…..like Shippo. Why would Shippo be out here crying like that? A second howl filled his ears as he turned in the direction of the cry, his chest aching from the feeling. How many times had he cried out like that? Memories of sitting alone in the icy cold, and pouring rain filled Inuyasha. How many times had he called for protection, for love? Howling till his throat was raw and cracked. He had called out for Sesshomaru all those years ago, wordlessly begging the older Inu to come for him.
And now Shippo was doing the same…..and he was calling out to him. Inuyasha’s fists clenched what had Kagome tossed the little kit out on his own when Inuyasha left? That couldn’t be…..they wouldn’t…..Shippo was just a child.
“And so were we. But that never stopped us from being abandoned.” The voice spoke. That was true….but…
A third howl rang out, even more desperate then first two. The fear, sadness, pain and regret of the cry settled into Inuyasha’s heart. The fox kit was begging, begging just as Inuyasha had begged all those years ago. But the one Inuyasha had called out for had never answered, would he do the same? Could he allow another to suffer as he had? Slowly Inuyasha tilted his head back, and allowed his own howl to fill the air.
“Shippo why are you making that noise? What’s wrong?” Kagome asked. Shippo just ignored her, crying out a third time…..He felt like he was going to fall apart…
But then a new howl rang out, louder and deeper then Shippo’s own. Hopping to his feet the kit’s ears twitched.
“Shippo! What’s going on? Stop making that noise, you’re going to bring something hungry to us or something.” Kagome chided. Again Shippo ignored her, tilting his head back he cried out again, louder, more urgent. A few moments went by, the fox clutching his chest, his heart pounding. Again the full throated answer rang out, long and proud. Ignoring Kagome’s protesting shout Shippo sprinted forward, racing towards the source of the sound. Forgetting all semblance of a civilized human demeanor Shippo dropped down on all fours, pushing his body forward with all his might.
Koga and Miroku had almost gotten back to the others when they heard Shippo howl for the third time.
“How long is he going to do that?” Miroku asked. Such sounds coming out of one so young concerned him.
“I can’t really say, to be honest he could keep it up till his throat gives out.” Koga answered.
“That doesn’t sound too healthy perhaps we should-” Miroku started before a deeper howl answered Shippo’s. Instantly Koga tensed, his ears twitching. Shippo’s cry rang out again, more eager sounding, but a few minutes later the other howl tore through the air.
“Whatever it is it sounds big….but….it…it sounds like Inuyasha.” Koga stated.
“Could he be answering Shippo?” Miroku asked becoming excited, to think they had searched all this time and all they really needed to do was have Shippo make noise.
“Yeah…I think he is…in fact I think-” Koga began before a red blur darted out of the bushes leaping up on and off of Koga’s head before disappearing into the forest.
“Was that Shippo?” Miroku asked staring into the bushes where the fox kit had disappeared into. Rubbing his head Koga answered.
“Yeah….yeah I think it was, and I bet he’s making a beeline straight to Inuyasha.” Just as Koga finished Sango and Kagome came bursting through the woods.
“Did Shippo come through here?” Kagome panted.
“Uh…yeah….you just missed him. Looks like he got Inuyasha attention.” Koga answered.
“We gotta catch up to him!” Kagome shouted as she sprinted off again, Sango in tow.
“We do?….” Koga asked, turning to look at Miroku…..only to notice the monk had already started after the fox and the two girls. “Seriously….why do we have do catch him?” Koga muttered before beginning to walk after them.
Panting for breath Shippo continued to race through the underbrush. His muscles were beginning to ache and his lungs where starting to hurt. But he had called out to Inuyasha….and Inuyasha had answered, so there was no way in hell he wasn’t going to get himself to the hanyo’s side. He could faintly smell Inuyasha’s scent; he had to be getting close!
Suddenly something slammed into the side of his head, hard, blinding pain shot through Shippo’s skull as his body was hurled back, crashing into the trunk of a large tree. Shaking his head Shippo tried to regain his wits; peering into the darkness he blinked rapidly, trying to force his eyes to focus, to discover what had stuck him with such force. The he saw it, a large low level panther demon. Fangs bared the cat charged Shippo, the fox kit back peddling the best he could, struggling to get his feet under himself. Very quickly Shippo found himself back up against the tree again, and he had just enough time to let out a shrill scream as the large demon cat leaped at him.
Tramping though the forest searching for a demon fox kit who may or may not have been dashing towards the very Inu-Hanyo they had been searching for was most certainly not what Miroku had wanted to do now that the sun had gone down. However considering that it might just lead to Inuyasha, not to mention the fact that Miroku could not, leave Shippo out on his own, he simply resolved himself to the task. Fortunately Koga had caught up with the group, and with a quick sniff had pinpointed the path the fox had taken.
But just as Koga had begun to steer the group in the direction Shippo had taken, a frightful scream rang out.
“That did NOT sound good.” Miroku spat out, pushing himself harder he raced after Koga, who had already located the direction of the scream. “I hope to all that’s holy that he knows where he is going” Miroku thought. With Kagome and Sango behind him the four of them tore though the woods. Suddenly Koga stopped and Miroku was forced to stiffen his legs suddenly to keep from crashing into the wolf. “What did you stop for Koga?!” Miroku whispered harshly into Koga’s ear, not sure if it would be wise to make much noise. Looking over Koga’s shoulder Kagome let out a horrified gasp; following her line of sight Miroku located the source of her trauma.
Splattered all over the ground lay pieces of flesh, leading up to a mangled torn lump of meat and Miroku was unable to determine what it had been. Soft sobs reached Miroku’s ears as his body tensed. There was no way Shippo could have done such a thing, so whatever had done it was probably still out there. “Koga….do you see what did-” Miroku started only to be silenced by Koga literally pressing his hand over his mouth, while still holding Miroku’s face in one hand Koga pointed over to the left with his other hand. Slowly Miroku steadied his gaze on the spot Koga pointed at, squinting his eyes slowly the picture came into focus.
Intricate red and white silk designs, spiked steel armor on one shoulder, long silver hair cascading down the large man’s back. Could it be?….
Sesshomaru?
Tightening his grip on his staff Miroku stepped forward, he would gladly suck Sesshomaru into his Wind Tunnel…however on the off chance Sesshomaru knew the whereabouts of either Shippo or Inuyasha Miroku decided to take a less violent path. “Sesshomaru! Where is Shippo? What have you done with him?!” Miroku cried out. Even over the hiccupping sobs Miroku could hear a soft chuckle.
“Oi Monk…..are your eyes that bad?” Inuyasha said, turning around to face the group, the shaking fox kit in his arms, clutching at his clothing.
“Inuyasha?!” Koga, Miroku, Kagome and Sango gasped in sync.
“You’re huge!” Miroku spat out. Inuyasha simply smirked.
“Yeah…I noticed….part of the reason for the rigged up clothing.” Inuyasha returned.
Once Inuyasha had heard Shippo’s eager reply he had felt compelled to meet him. It wouldn’t do to have a small child prancing around in the woods this late at night, it wasn’t safe….and he would know having done it several times himself. So in an odd way he really was not surprised to hear Shippo’s scream ring out in the dark. Extremely pissed off yes, but not all that surprised. Catching up to Shippo at just the right time, Inuyasha had simply tore the pitiful panther demon apart….he wasn’t sure why really, just something about the creature attacking the young fox seriously pissed him right the fuck off.
Before he could even begin to question the little kit, Shippo dove head first straight into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, making blubbery claims of being so very sorry, the poor little thing was shaking so badly and perhaps for the first time since he had met Shippo…he didn’t find himself becoming annoyed with his antic’s. For once he actually felt the kid was in the right, after all how many times would he have liked someone to hold him and comfort him when he was younger? Hell he couldn’t even count that high. Yet it was kinda weird how easily comforting the brat came to him, it wasn’t as though he had much practice. As he heard the sounds of others crashing through the woods Inuyasha sighed. A quick sniff identified the group, and Inuyasha found that he really wasn’t much in the mood to deal with his ex-group at the moment. “I don’t want to fight….but I’m not about to take any shit either.” Inuyasha thought. His head was still screwed up over the whole sex with Sesshomaru thing….which wasn’t becoming any easier as time went on. He did however find it somewhat humorous as Miroku addressed him as Sesshomaru, sure he’d gotten bigger -again- and his upper garments did at one time belong to his brother. Part of him felt rather uplifted to be confused with the Youki lord, it just proved once again that despite everything Sesshomaru said, he to fit the bill.
“So….what are you guys doing here?” Inuyasha asked wearily. Miroku stepped forward, edging closer and Inuyasha instantly tensed….if the monk so much as reached for those beads…..
“Oh thank goodness…..you’re both alright.” Miroku suddenly gushed. Huh? What the crap?
“We live…..” Inuyasha snapped. Koga simply looked bored, Sango pensive, and Kagome….well she just looked like she usually did when something annoyed her.
Ignoring them for a moment Inuyasha focused on the still slightly sobbing child in his arms. Gently he pressed his thumb against Shippo’s lips, hushing the fox. “Shhh little one…..no more crying.” Inuyasha whispered.
“Inuyasha……I……….I&# 8230;..” Shippo stammered, taking a deep breath the kitsune tilted his head back, exposing his throat, and let out a low submissive whine.
“Shippo?! What are you doing?” Kagome asked.
Inuyasha ignored her, it was easy to see what the kit was doing, he was accepting Inuyasha’s dominance, begging for protection and obviously attempting to get into Inuyasha’s good graces. What better way to show sincerity then to offer his very life to his dominate? With but a simple move Inuyasha could tear that little throat to ribbons. The simple gesture spoke volumes.
“Do you truly wish to make up for what you’ve done Shippo?” Inuyasha asked softly.
“Yes….I….I don’t want you to see me as…as a failure…I want….I want…” Shippo started.
“You want?” Inuyasha asked.
“I want….to…to….prove…myself…w-worthy of….being….your……..son.” Shippo squeaked out. Inuyasha was more then a little surprised….was the kid actually going to side with him over Kagome?
“Hey maybe he isn’t so dumb….obviously your words hit hard.” the voice said.
“Truly Shippo?” Inuyasha asked “I do not want any confusion over the matter, if you are mine then be mine, I refuse to be overruled or insulted…you will respect and obey me.”
“I….I understand….please…..give me a chance…..Inuya-……..father.” Shippo answered. Again Inuyasha was surprised.
“Father?….me?……” Inuyasha thought, a warm feeling threatening to build inside of him. Father? A son?….a family?
“You don’t have to call me….” Inuyasha started.
“If you are in the role of my father….shouldn’t I…..shouldn’t I call you father?” Shippo asked, his voice cracking slightly.
“I think that’ll work out just fine. But I warn you Shippo, I do not intend to coddle you…you will be worthy of being my son…I will tolerate nothing less. But I will not mistreat you little one…that I promise you.” Inuyasha said. “You will be trained….and you will not argue, it will be hard, but you will be strong.”
“….I….I understand….but….may I ask one thing before we start anything?” Shippo asked.
“You may.” Inuyasha answered. It felt so weird being so proper…he couldn’t name a time another had shown him such respect. The fact that he hadn’t even felt the urge to curse or speak plainly was…odd.
“Can I rest first?…I haven’t been sleeping well at all……I can’t….I just cant sleep……I don’t feel safe.” Shippo replied. That one little sentence broke Inuyasha heart, for he knew that feeling all to well, the feeling of helplessness, of being stalked…..of never being safe.
“Yes…yes you may, you can sleep now Shippo….I’ll stay with you.” Inuyasha said. Gently the kitsune smiled, burrowing himself deeper into Inuyasha’s arms, sighing pleasantly.
Looking back at his old group Inuyasha spoke “I intend to keep Shippo with me, I’m going to get some sleep and so is he, I do not want to be bothered, and should any of you get the idea to attack me…..don’t. Just don’t.” Slowly Inuyasha turned away from the others.
“Wait…Inuyasha, a moment please?” Miroku asked. Inuyasha paused.
“What is it monk?”
“Tomorrow…may I speak with you? It is very important.” Miroku said, his voice strained. Well…why not what could it hurt?
“Alright.” Inuyasha replied before leaping up into the tree’s ignoring Kagome’s protests.
“Of all the nerve….” Kagome grumbled.
Ok now originally this chapter was about 7 pages or more, but I felt because it had been a while since I updated I would just add the rest of the material in the next chapter. I really wanted to get a new chapter up today. I know this chapter lacks any Sesshomaru, but fear not Sesshomaru fans, He will appear quite prominently in the next chapter. I just wanted to not make you all wait any longer. But honestly I really don’t like this chapter….and I hope you all don’t hate it, and me, to much.
HeartStar: I’ll update as fast as I can, but sometimes I get stuck
Angel of Androgyny: He’s probably not going to be too happy when he realizes what Sesshomaru’s youki has done.
Tai-san: Yup no sex for bastards heheh. As for what Inuyasha is doing with Sess’s armor…well he’s gotta wear something, and a little extra protection never hurt anyone.
LadySess: I hope to show more of Inu/Sess’s relationship in the next chapter, yeah I liked what Sess’s Youki did, plus it helps explain why he still doesn’t have a mate after all this time. I think Inuyasha’s confusion is pretty warranted to.
ladytokyo: Yes I enjoyed Sesshomaru’s youki’s method of punishment. I tried to explain everything I could think of so there would not be to much confusion. Another lemon? Hmmm I don’t know…..although I do have something a tad spicy planed for the next chapter.
PinkyBunny: Yeah Kagome pisses me off a lot, Miroku and Koga….hmm…interesting.
Hirumakage: And I’m sorry I haven’t updated in forever, been so busy lately. Yes Sessy can be a real meany, but he’s kinda stuck, his youki has made up its mind. Yeah I like the idea of the big bad Youki Lord who cant get it up….a real big blow to his pride don’t ya think?
hyperactive pup: This chapter is probably a disappointment I apologize. But if its Sessy youki you like, then fear not, he’ll be showing up real soon.
Angelofdeath2006: He’s not so much Uke as it’s more like his Youki doesn’t care, it doesn’t matter to him. Although normal Sess might not like the idea, his Youki is kinda lazy and didn’t mind just laying there.
95454: Hot eh…I really didn’t think anyone would like it, I’m glad people did though haha. I like the idea of Sesshomaru’s own self sabotaging him.
Miroku’s feet hurt, his eyes felt grainy and he really would have liked to rest for a few moments. But they still hadn’t found Inuyasha, and Miroku was reluctant to allow more distance to be put between the group and the hanyo. However Koga had remarked that Inuyasha’s scent was getting stronger as they neared the northern cliffs, to top it all off the brown haired wolf didn’t seem tired at all. “Don’t compare yourself to me Miroku, we are different species you and I. plus wolves are known for there stamina.” Koga whispered, as if reading Miroku’s mind. Miroku shook his head roughly; he hadn’t even noticed Koga coming up alongside him, which wasn’t a very good showing of his awareness at the moment.
Looking back Miroku’ noticed the girls beginning to slow, outwardly Sango showed nothing. The slayer stood tall, not a trip or a stumble, Kagome on the other hand looked utterly exhausted, and Miroku couldn’t help but be surprised that she had not voiced a single complaint yet. Had Inuyasha himself been leading them he was almost dead sure she would have. “We haven’t found Inuyasha yet.” Miroku replied, keeping his voice low. Inwardly he felt foolish, whispering like a couple of school children. But in recent days it was practically a necessity, as any mention of Inuyasha would inevitably draw Kagome’s attention, and Miroku really wasn’t in the mood to deal with what that could bring.
“So you don’t intend to rest until he is found?” Koga asked….his voice….strange. Chalking it up to his own stress and mental fatigue Miroku answered.
“If need be.” Koga shot Miroku a thoughtful look, before a cocky smirk spread upon his face.
“Alright people, lets take five kay?” Koga said coming to a halt. Miroku glared at the wolf prince.
“What happened to that stamina you were bragging about?” Miroku commented snidely as he slide to rest against a tree. Koga’s eyes met Miroku’s
“Monk….you have no idea how much…….stamina I truly have.” Koga quipped, voice slightly husky. Miroku felt his face get slightly hot. Just what did Koga mean by that? “Well I’m gonna go take a look around….don’t get eaten or anything while I’m gone.” Koga said as he walked off into the woods.
Sango and Kagome had already begun to make themselves comfortable and Kagome had begun to dig through her pack, searching for the food she stored in there. “Have I ever told you how much the things from you time help out Kagome?” Sango said. “It’s all really amazing; I wish I could see it.” Kagome smiled.
“Thanks Sango, well maybe I could bring you some pictures to look at.” Kagome gushed.
“Pictures?” Sango replied, obviously confused.
As the girls continued to talk, Shippo dropped to the ground next to Miroku. The little fox kit looked absolutely miserable. “Hey Shippo….are you alright?” Miroku asked.
“No. Not really.” Shippo whispered. Before Miroku could reply Koga came back through the trees.
“Miroku, could you come with me? I need your help with something.” Koga said. Miroku looked over at the wolf prince. What could Koga need his help with?
“Is it dangerous?” Sango asked, touching her large bone weapon.
“No, nothing like that, it’s a male thing.” Koga answered. As Miroku stood up, he looked down at Shippo.
“Shippo would you like to come with us?” Miroku asked. Shippo looked up, his eye’s filled with emotions couldn’t quite read.
“No.” was the Kitsune’s soft reply. Miroku chewed on his lip as he walked towards Koga, the wolf turning and leading them into the forest. Shippo’s behavior worried him, he had never seen the child like this, and it wasn’t just him that that was worried. Not even Kagome could shake the child out of it, indeed if anything the little fox seemed to be pulling further and further away from his adoptive mother.
Miroku sighed. “So many problems, when did the world flip upside down?” Miroku thought. Looking over at Koga again Miroku noticed just how far into the forest they had gone. “Where are we going Koga? What did you need me for?” Miroku asked.
“Technically nothing. I found a hot spring and I don’t feel like waiting for the women to go first, plus there are a few things I want to talk to you about.” Koga replied.
Although Miroku had harbored some reservations about bathing before the girls, it just wasn’t gentlemanly, his misgivings melted away as the warm water slipped around his naked skin, enveloping him. Letting out a pleasant sigh Miroku slid his body into a grove in the rock wall of the spring, letting his eyes drift shut. “Enjoying yourself?” Koga’s voice rang out. Miroku didn’t even open his eyes to answer.
“Mmmhmmm.”
“Good a relaxed body helps relax the mind and you monk have been very uptight lately.” Koga said. “Does Inuyasha leaving your group bother you so much?” Miroku really did not want to think right now…more then almost anything he wanted to simply drift in that warm, refreshing water. But more then that, he wanted to find Inuyasha.
“He is my friend; I am worried about him, about his safety and his health.” Miroku answered.
“I hate to point this out Miroku, but Inuyasha can survive on his own without any of you.” Koga said.
“Maybe so, but there is still his mental health to be concerned with. The poor hanyo has been pushed so far in his life.” Miroku snapped. What was Koga suggesting? That they just give up and leave Inuyasha out on his own?
“No need to get cranky monk….I’m just saying that Inuyasha is far more powerful then you give him credit for. But…..if the scent is anything to go by then we should be almost on top of him.” Koga said. Well that was good; honestly Miroku wasn’t sure what would happen when they finally did catch up to Inuyasha. All he knew was he did not want the last thing Inuyasha thought of him being a person who was trying to hurt him. He needed to explain himself, to explain why he had touched the beads.
“Good to know…” Miroku whispered.
“You’re….your really loyal to Inuyasha aren’t you?” Koga said, his voice taking a soft tone. Miroku opened his eyes slowly, leveling his gaze on the wolf. Koga was staring at him strangely, and Miroku couldn’t quite put his finger on what the wolf prince’s look might have meant.
“Yes. Of course I am. He’s one of the few people to ever willingly get close to me. As you might imagine having a hole in your hand that pulls things into oblivion doesn’t really inspire friendship in people.” Miroku answered.
“You know….loyalty is a big plus among wolves, especially in…certain roles.” Koga said. Miroku’s eyes narrowed, what in the world did that mean?
Shippo felt horrible, as a matter of fact he hadn’t felt this bad since his parent’s death and this was without the call for vengeance filling him, Inuyasha’s words kept ringing within his skull. It really hadn’t bothered him very much at first, after all Inuyasha often said lots of things he didn’t mean. But he didn’t usually leave like that, and he certainly didn’t stay gone, and with every second his adoptive father remained gone, his words drove deeper and deeper into Shippo’s mind. It hurt….it really really hurt and what was worse was the realization that it was all his fault. He’d been horrible to a person who had taken him in when he didn’t have anywhere else to go. Sure Kagome had, had a hand in it, but when it came right down to it Inuyasha had done the most. Who had killed the thunder brothers thus avenging his dead parents? Inuyasha. Who had watched over him while he had slept? Inuyasha. That was one thing Shippo was now beginning to appreciate more and more. Since Inuyasha had left Shippo could hardly sleep, he didn’t feel safe, even buried against Kagome’s side.
And it wasn’t just that Inuyasha had left, he had left without even thinking of taking Shippo with him, and so it was obvious that he didn’t want him at his side. The thought drove into Shippo’s little heart, causing tears to begin to form once more, and for once Shippo couldn’t blame him. He never would have even THOUGHT about treating his birth father like he had Inuyasha, for one thing the older fox would not have tolerated it for a second. Discipline would have been in order, no doubt about that. But looking back Shippo could clearly think of times when Inuyasha had been set on punishing him, only to have Kagome plant him into the ground. On one hand that saved his ass from a whooping and on the other Shippo could see just how much that would frustrate Inuyasha. If he couldn’t demand the respect that was rightfully his, then why should he bother attempting to raise his adopted son? After all, the whole situation ended up making Inuyasha his father in title only, and the more he thought about it the more Shippo felt more then a little ashamed of himself, he had reveled in Inuyasha’s helplessness before Kagome, the thrill of being able to get away with nearly anything, and now because of his selfishness and blatant disobedience here he was, a small young demon, left without a father. Sure he had Kagome but Inuyasha words rang true, she didn’t know the first thing about demons really and how could he be raised by someone who even under the best of circumstances wouldn’t live even a third of his lifespan. If Shippo even lived that long, Kagome wasn’t nearly as strong or alert as Inuyasha, and even if he did somehow manage to survive with her, after an all to short period, he would be left alone, with barley an inkling of how to care for himself.
His mind filled with such thoughts, Shippo couldn’t help but wander away from Kagome and Sango. He meant no offense to them, but he just wanted to be alone for a little while. Planting himself down at the base of a tree Shippo continued his brooding thoughts. His youki had been berating him in its own way, although he was too young to hear its voice, he knew within time its strength would grow. Even though he couldn’t hear it, he could feel the message it was trying to get across. Inuyasha’s never had a family it rang within him. Now just imagine how it made him feel, the one who calls himself his son treating him like that. He tried to reach out to you, to care for you and look what you did, you spurned him, hurled his attempts back in his face.
That wasn’t all true….it wasn’t all his fault, Kagome never had to do what she’d done. But…..he’d never said anything had he, no he had never come to his father’s defense, even worse he’d laughed at him. Another pain tore though Shippo, “I….never even called him father….I called him dog-boy all the time…never even…” Shippo whispered to himself. Tears spilled down his cheeks as he sobbed to himself, he missed Inuyasha, he wanted to apologize, and he wanted to prove himself worthy of being Inuyasha’s son.
He wanted his father back.
Pain and regret bubbled up inside him, filling him to the point of bursting; he just couldn’t hold it back any longer. Tipping his head back Shippo let out a mournful howl, calling out to Inuyasha. He was sorry….he was so sorry.
As they walked back from the hot spring Miroku’s mind continued to churn, trying to uncover the meaning behind Koga’s words and looks. What was the wolf up to? He was acting so strange and for the life of him Miroku couldn’t figure out why. Koga had never acted like this before; as a matter of fact he had only started a short while after Inuyasha’s departure. He was just about to bring the matter up with Koga himself when a low sobbing howl slid through the air.
“What was that?” Miroku asked, gripping his staff tight. Where the others in danger?
“It….it sounds like Shippo.” Koga murmured. His arms crossed over his chest.
“Is he hurt? Has something happened? We should hurry back!” Miroku half shouted.
“Calm yourself monk…he’s aright, physically anyway. He’s just doing what any young demon would do.” Koga said.
“What any demon would do? Do what? What’s going on?” Miroku asked. The howl rang out again, cracking slightly, the raw emotion so thick it actually made Miroku’s chest ache. Looking over at Koga Miroku noticed the wolf prince was rubbing his heart gently, as he must have felt it to.
“He’s calling out. He’s alone, he’s scared and hurting.” Koga answered.
“Alone? But Kagome and Sango are there.” Miroku replied. Koga shot him an annoyed look.
“They are human. It’s different. And if I had to guess I’d say he is calling out to Inuyasha.” Koga said.
“To Inuyasha?” Miroku muttered. The wolf prince nodded.
“That’s my best guess.” Koga said.
Inuyasha sat up quickly, his ears straining. “What was that?” He mumbled. It sounded like…..like Shippo. Why would Shippo be out here crying like that? A second howl filled his ears as he turned in the direction of the cry, his chest aching from the feeling. How many times had he cried out like that? Memories of sitting alone in the icy cold, and pouring rain filled Inuyasha. How many times had he called for protection, for love? Howling till his throat was raw and cracked. He had called out for Sesshomaru all those years ago, wordlessly begging the older Inu to come for him.
And now Shippo was doing the same…..and he was calling out to him. Inuyasha’s fists clenched what had Kagome tossed the little kit out on his own when Inuyasha left? That couldn’t be…..they wouldn’t…..Shippo was just a child.
“And so were we. But that never stopped us from being abandoned.” The voice spoke. That was true….but…
A third howl rang out, even more desperate then first two. The fear, sadness, pain and regret of the cry settled into Inuyasha’s heart. The fox kit was begging, begging just as Inuyasha had begged all those years ago. But the one Inuyasha had called out for had never answered, would he do the same? Could he allow another to suffer as he had? Slowly Inuyasha tilted his head back, and allowed his own howl to fill the air.
“Shippo why are you making that noise? What’s wrong?” Kagome asked. Shippo just ignored her, crying out a third time…..He felt like he was going to fall apart…
But then a new howl rang out, louder and deeper then Shippo’s own. Hopping to his feet the kit’s ears twitched.
“Shippo! What’s going on? Stop making that noise, you’re going to bring something hungry to us or something.” Kagome chided. Again Shippo ignored her, tilting his head back he cried out again, louder, more urgent. A few moments went by, the fox clutching his chest, his heart pounding. Again the full throated answer rang out, long and proud. Ignoring Kagome’s protesting shout Shippo sprinted forward, racing towards the source of the sound. Forgetting all semblance of a civilized human demeanor Shippo dropped down on all fours, pushing his body forward with all his might.
Koga and Miroku had almost gotten back to the others when they heard Shippo howl for the third time.
“How long is he going to do that?” Miroku asked. Such sounds coming out of one so young concerned him.
“I can’t really say, to be honest he could keep it up till his throat gives out.” Koga answered.
“That doesn’t sound too healthy perhaps we should-” Miroku started before a deeper howl answered Shippo’s. Instantly Koga tensed, his ears twitching. Shippo’s cry rang out again, more eager sounding, but a few minutes later the other howl tore through the air.
“Whatever it is it sounds big….but….it…it sounds like Inuyasha.” Koga stated.
“Could he be answering Shippo?” Miroku asked becoming excited, to think they had searched all this time and all they really needed to do was have Shippo make noise.
“Yeah…I think he is…in fact I think-” Koga began before a red blur darted out of the bushes leaping up on and off of Koga’s head before disappearing into the forest.
“Was that Shippo?” Miroku asked staring into the bushes where the fox kit had disappeared into. Rubbing his head Koga answered.
“Yeah….yeah I think it was, and I bet he’s making a beeline straight to Inuyasha.” Just as Koga finished Sango and Kagome came bursting through the woods.
“Did Shippo come through here?” Kagome panted.
“Uh…yeah….you just missed him. Looks like he got Inuyasha attention.” Koga answered.
“We gotta catch up to him!” Kagome shouted as she sprinted off again, Sango in tow.
“We do?….” Koga asked, turning to look at Miroku…..only to notice the monk had already started after the fox and the two girls. “Seriously….why do we have do catch him?” Koga muttered before beginning to walk after them.
Panting for breath Shippo continued to race through the underbrush. His muscles were beginning to ache and his lungs where starting to hurt. But he had called out to Inuyasha….and Inuyasha had answered, so there was no way in hell he wasn’t going to get himself to the hanyo’s side. He could faintly smell Inuyasha’s scent; he had to be getting close!
Suddenly something slammed into the side of his head, hard, blinding pain shot through Shippo’s skull as his body was hurled back, crashing into the trunk of a large tree. Shaking his head Shippo tried to regain his wits; peering into the darkness he blinked rapidly, trying to force his eyes to focus, to discover what had stuck him with such force. The he saw it, a large low level panther demon. Fangs bared the cat charged Shippo, the fox kit back peddling the best he could, struggling to get his feet under himself. Very quickly Shippo found himself back up against the tree again, and he had just enough time to let out a shrill scream as the large demon cat leaped at him.
Tramping though the forest searching for a demon fox kit who may or may not have been dashing towards the very Inu-Hanyo they had been searching for was most certainly not what Miroku had wanted to do now that the sun had gone down. However considering that it might just lead to Inuyasha, not to mention the fact that Miroku could not, leave Shippo out on his own, he simply resolved himself to the task. Fortunately Koga had caught up with the group, and with a quick sniff had pinpointed the path the fox had taken.
But just as Koga had begun to steer the group in the direction Shippo had taken, a frightful scream rang out.
“That did NOT sound good.” Miroku spat out, pushing himself harder he raced after Koga, who had already located the direction of the scream. “I hope to all that’s holy that he knows where he is going” Miroku thought. With Kagome and Sango behind him the four of them tore though the woods. Suddenly Koga stopped and Miroku was forced to stiffen his legs suddenly to keep from crashing into the wolf. “What did you stop for Koga?!” Miroku whispered harshly into Koga’s ear, not sure if it would be wise to make much noise. Looking over Koga’s shoulder Kagome let out a horrified gasp; following her line of sight Miroku located the source of her trauma.
Splattered all over the ground lay pieces of flesh, leading up to a mangled torn lump of meat and Miroku was unable to determine what it had been. Soft sobs reached Miroku’s ears as his body tensed. There was no way Shippo could have done such a thing, so whatever had done it was probably still out there. “Koga….do you see what did-” Miroku started only to be silenced by Koga literally pressing his hand over his mouth, while still holding Miroku’s face in one hand Koga pointed over to the left with his other hand. Slowly Miroku steadied his gaze on the spot Koga pointed at, squinting his eyes slowly the picture came into focus.
Intricate red and white silk designs, spiked steel armor on one shoulder, long silver hair cascading down the large man’s back. Could it be?….
Sesshomaru?
Tightening his grip on his staff Miroku stepped forward, he would gladly suck Sesshomaru into his Wind Tunnel…however on the off chance Sesshomaru knew the whereabouts of either Shippo or Inuyasha Miroku decided to take a less violent path. “Sesshomaru! Where is Shippo? What have you done with him?!” Miroku cried out. Even over the hiccupping sobs Miroku could hear a soft chuckle.
“Oi Monk…..are your eyes that bad?” Inuyasha said, turning around to face the group, the shaking fox kit in his arms, clutching at his clothing.
“Inuyasha?!” Koga, Miroku, Kagome and Sango gasped in sync.
“You’re huge!” Miroku spat out. Inuyasha simply smirked.
“Yeah…I noticed….part of the reason for the rigged up clothing.” Inuyasha returned.
Once Inuyasha had heard Shippo’s eager reply he had felt compelled to meet him. It wouldn’t do to have a small child prancing around in the woods this late at night, it wasn’t safe….and he would know having done it several times himself. So in an odd way he really was not surprised to hear Shippo’s scream ring out in the dark. Extremely pissed off yes, but not all that surprised. Catching up to Shippo at just the right time, Inuyasha had simply tore the pitiful panther demon apart….he wasn’t sure why really, just something about the creature attacking the young fox seriously pissed him right the fuck off.
Before he could even begin to question the little kit, Shippo dove head first straight into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, making blubbery claims of being so very sorry, the poor little thing was shaking so badly and perhaps for the first time since he had met Shippo…he didn’t find himself becoming annoyed with his antic’s. For once he actually felt the kid was in the right, after all how many times would he have liked someone to hold him and comfort him when he was younger? Hell he couldn’t even count that high. Yet it was kinda weird how easily comforting the brat came to him, it wasn’t as though he had much practice. As he heard the sounds of others crashing through the woods Inuyasha sighed. A quick sniff identified the group, and Inuyasha found that he really wasn’t much in the mood to deal with his ex-group at the moment. “I don’t want to fight….but I’m not about to take any shit either.” Inuyasha thought. His head was still screwed up over the whole sex with Sesshomaru thing….which wasn’t becoming any easier as time went on. He did however find it somewhat humorous as Miroku addressed him as Sesshomaru, sure he’d gotten bigger -again- and his upper garments did at one time belong to his brother. Part of him felt rather uplifted to be confused with the Youki lord, it just proved once again that despite everything Sesshomaru said, he to fit the bill.
“So….what are you guys doing here?” Inuyasha asked wearily. Miroku stepped forward, edging closer and Inuyasha instantly tensed….if the monk so much as reached for those beads…..
“Oh thank goodness…..you’re both alright.” Miroku suddenly gushed. Huh? What the crap?
“We live…..” Inuyasha snapped. Koga simply looked bored, Sango pensive, and Kagome….well she just looked like she usually did when something annoyed her.
Ignoring them for a moment Inuyasha focused on the still slightly sobbing child in his arms. Gently he pressed his thumb against Shippo’s lips, hushing the fox. “Shhh little one…..no more crying.” Inuyasha whispered.
“Inuyasha……I……….I&# 8230;..” Shippo stammered, taking a deep breath the kitsune tilted his head back, exposing his throat, and let out a low submissive whine.
“Shippo?! What are you doing?” Kagome asked.
Inuyasha ignored her, it was easy to see what the kit was doing, he was accepting Inuyasha’s dominance, begging for protection and obviously attempting to get into Inuyasha’s good graces. What better way to show sincerity then to offer his very life to his dominate? With but a simple move Inuyasha could tear that little throat to ribbons. The simple gesture spoke volumes.
“Do you truly wish to make up for what you’ve done Shippo?” Inuyasha asked softly.
“Yes….I….I don’t want you to see me as…as a failure…I want….I want…” Shippo started.
“You want?” Inuyasha asked.
“I want….to…to….prove…myself…w-worthy of….being….your……..son.” Shippo squeaked out. Inuyasha was more then a little surprised….was the kid actually going to side with him over Kagome?
“Hey maybe he isn’t so dumb….obviously your words hit hard.” the voice said.
“Truly Shippo?” Inuyasha asked “I do not want any confusion over the matter, if you are mine then be mine, I refuse to be overruled or insulted…you will respect and obey me.”
“I….I understand….please…..give me a chance…..Inuya-……..father.” Shippo answered. Again Inuyasha was surprised.
“Father?….me?……” Inuyasha thought, a warm feeling threatening to build inside of him. Father? A son?….a family?
“You don’t have to call me….” Inuyasha started.
“If you are in the role of my father….shouldn’t I…..shouldn’t I call you father?” Shippo asked, his voice cracking slightly.
“I think that’ll work out just fine. But I warn you Shippo, I do not intend to coddle you…you will be worthy of being my son…I will tolerate nothing less. But I will not mistreat you little one…that I promise you.” Inuyasha said. “You will be trained….and you will not argue, it will be hard, but you will be strong.”
“….I….I understand….but….may I ask one thing before we start anything?” Shippo asked.
“You may.” Inuyasha answered. It felt so weird being so proper…he couldn’t name a time another had shown him such respect. The fact that he hadn’t even felt the urge to curse or speak plainly was…odd.
“Can I rest first?…I haven’t been sleeping well at all……I can’t….I just cant sleep……I don’t feel safe.” Shippo replied. That one little sentence broke Inuyasha heart, for he knew that feeling all to well, the feeling of helplessness, of being stalked…..of never being safe.
“Yes…yes you may, you can sleep now Shippo….I’ll stay with you.” Inuyasha said. Gently the kitsune smiled, burrowing himself deeper into Inuyasha’s arms, sighing pleasantly.
Looking back at his old group Inuyasha spoke “I intend to keep Shippo with me, I’m going to get some sleep and so is he, I do not want to be bothered, and should any of you get the idea to attack me…..don’t. Just don’t.” Slowly Inuyasha turned away from the others.
“Wait…Inuyasha, a moment please?” Miroku asked. Inuyasha paused.
“What is it monk?”
“Tomorrow…may I speak with you? It is very important.” Miroku said, his voice strained. Well…why not what could it hurt?
“Alright.” Inuyasha replied before leaping up into the tree’s ignoring Kagome’s protests.
“Of all the nerve….” Kagome grumbled.
Ok now originally this chapter was about 7 pages or more, but I felt because it had been a while since I updated I would just add the rest of the material in the next chapter. I really wanted to get a new chapter up today. I know this chapter lacks any Sesshomaru, but fear not Sesshomaru fans, He will appear quite prominently in the next chapter. I just wanted to not make you all wait any longer. But honestly I really don’t like this chapter….and I hope you all don’t hate it, and me, to much.
HeartStar: I’ll update as fast as I can, but sometimes I get stuck
Angel of Androgyny: He’s probably not going to be too happy when he realizes what Sesshomaru’s youki has done.
Tai-san: Yup no sex for bastards heheh. As for what Inuyasha is doing with Sess’s armor…well he’s gotta wear something, and a little extra protection never hurt anyone.
LadySess: I hope to show more of Inu/Sess’s relationship in the next chapter, yeah I liked what Sess’s Youki did, plus it helps explain why he still doesn’t have a mate after all this time. I think Inuyasha’s confusion is pretty warranted to.
ladytokyo: Yes I enjoyed Sesshomaru’s youki’s method of punishment. I tried to explain everything I could think of so there would not be to much confusion. Another lemon? Hmmm I don’t know…..although I do have something a tad spicy planed for the next chapter.
PinkyBunny: Yeah Kagome pisses me off a lot, Miroku and Koga….hmm…interesting.
Hirumakage: And I’m sorry I haven’t updated in forever, been so busy lately. Yes Sessy can be a real meany, but he’s kinda stuck, his youki has made up its mind. Yeah I like the idea of the big bad Youki Lord who cant get it up….a real big blow to his pride don’t ya think?
hyperactive pup: This chapter is probably a disappointment I apologize. But if its Sessy youki you like, then fear not, he’ll be showing up real soon.
Angelofdeath2006: He’s not so much Uke as it’s more like his Youki doesn’t care, it doesn’t matter to him. Although normal Sess might not like the idea, his Youki is kinda lazy and didn’t mind just laying there.
95454: Hot eh…I really didn’t think anyone would like it, I’m glad people did though haha. I like the idea of Sesshomaru’s own self sabotaging him.
