This is Youki speaking
This is Thinking.
Inuyasha awoke slowly, he wasn’t sure where he was and he could not clearly remember falling asleep. He stretched lightly, he was warm, he was comfortable, and although he wasn’t sure what he was laying on, damn it felt nice and soft. Inuyasha blinked rapidly, his eyes struggling to focus, from what he could tell it was still very early, the sun had not yet even begun to peak over the horizon. Sleep still tugged at him and he was finding it difficult to resist its pull.
Well it was still early, no real reason he couldn’t lay back and enjoy the warmth that enveloped him. Had he ever been this warm before? Sighing pleasantly Inuyasha snuggled back into the warm deep breathing body behind him, the arm around his waist tightening slightly.
Wait….
What the?
Arm around his waist?
Warm body at his back?
Scooting his body down a little Inuyasha was able to twist just enough to turn his head face to face with his warm snuggler. What he saw instantly jolted him out of his sleepy haze.
Sess-fucking-homaru.
Not sure what the hell was going on or how the hell he got here, Inuyasha tried to pull away, only to have Sesshomaru’s arm and the fur curled around them tighten. Murmuring in his sleep Sesshomaru nuzzled his face into the hollow of Inuyasha’s neck. Inuyasha growled, now realizing that it was Sesshomaru’s tail wrapped around him. He was waaaaaaaaaaay to close to his bother for his own comfort. Inuyasha continued to struggle quietly, the last thing he wanted to have happen was for the others to wake up and see this. His efforts were in vain however as Sesshomaru threw his leg up over Inuyasha’s hip, curling around it before snaking in between his legs, effectively locking his right leg in place.
“Sesshomaru! Let me go!” Inuyasha hissed, keeping his voice down. Sesshomaru’s eyebrows furrowed slightly and he let out a small groan, before he nipped lightly at Inuyasha’s neck. Inuyasha growled his displeasure once more, louder then the last time. Even asleep Sesshomaru was basically telling him to shut up. “Asshole….let go of me! I swear that I’m going to knock the ever loving shit out of you!” Inuyasha whispered, trying to pull away once more. Groaning louder Sesshomaru pulled Inuyasha back in, tighter this time.
“Mmmmm….too….early.” Sesshomaru mumbled. Confusion ran though Inuyasha, he couldn’t believe how deep a sleeper Sesshomaru seemed to be. Inuyasha generally awoke at the drop of a hat, and he felt a moment of moment of deep jealousy that his brother had been able to sleep with such security all these years.
Inuyasha continued to struggle, twisting and turning, trying to get some sort of leverage. Sesshomaru grumbled before rolling slightly, placing a greater amount of weight upon Inuyasha, pinning him slightly. Inuyasha huffed, this was ridiculous!
“Father…..” Sesshomaru whined, the bastard actually whined! “It’s to early….Sess and Yash need sleep.” Inuyasha’s jaw dropped, and he was forced to fight back laughter that rumbled in his chest. To hear such a childlike whine come out of the Ice Lord’s mouth was damn amusing. Even still, Inuyasha wanted to get up, he was tired and just wanted to get back to sleep, and wait a minute….did Sesshomaru just call him Yash?
“So go back to sleep, your warm, your comfortable, what’s the problem?” His Youki drawled.
“I’m not sleeping with Sesshomaru!” Inuyasha shot back. Wiggling Inuyasha attempted to free himself, if he didn’t get free pretty damn soon, he was just gonna punch Sesshomaru in the throat or something. Bucking his hips Inuyasha managed to almost get free, only to have Sesshomaru growl in his sleep and pull him back in, it was then Inuyasha found his face buried in Sesshomaru’s chest. Snarling Inuyasha bared his fangs, that was it! He was just going to tear a chunk out of Sesshomaru, see if the bastard wouldn’t wake up then. Leaning in Inuyasha reached up, yanking Sesshomaru’s coat open and prepared to sink his teeth into his older brother’s flesh when two things caught his eye. One, Sesshomaru’s inner shirt seemed to be missing, and two, the mark Inuyasha had left on Sesshomaru on the cliffs came into view. Intellectually he had known he had marked his brother, but seeing it sent a warm flush though him, and made it all that much more real. A thought coursed through his mind, if he bit Sesshomaru once more, would that bite turn into another mark? Or would it just be another normal bite? What had turned his first bite into a mark anyway?
“I would think that a normal bite would have healed by now…and not…changed into the design that one has. So that should mean that the bite was NOT normal and had something behind it…right?” Inuyasha thought.
He had no clue…..
Damn it.
It was then Inuyasha realized that he was wearing a shirt, and a quick inspection reviled it to be none other then Sesshomaru’s shirt. The realization sent little flutters in motion within Inuyasha’s stomach. Quickly he shook the feeling off, so the bastard had put a shirt on his back, big deal. Still….Inuyasha found himself pulling the shirt tighter onto himself, it smelled of his brother, and Inuyasha was not surprised to find that it was constructed of a fine silk. Why would Sesshomaru put his own custom tailored clothing onto a body that he had, more the once, proclaimed to be a disgusting, vile, dirty pile of flesh. Inuyasha decided to chalk it up as more of Sesshomaru’s new found weirdness. But he was not about to just file it away, Sesshomaru was obviously up to something, and he would need to be careful if he was going to avoid his brother’s trap….
Whatever it was…
Inuyasha was however, grateful to have some cover; he hated to bare his body, especially in front of other people. His body was freaky and he knew it, he was a half-breed, neither one nor the other, a mutant really. He could not be at peace, even with his own skin, his human and demon halves were constantly tearing at each other, one punting the other one out whenever it got the chance. His human half getting its opportunity each and every new moon but his demon half would counter that if he did not have Tessaiga on him during times of danger, and for a half-breed….dangerous life threatening situation’s just came along with the label.
On one hand he hated his human nights, hated them so fucking much. He hated the weakness in his limbs, the pathetic dulling of his senses. He hated how easily he could be injured. It didn’t help that those nights were either filled with an uneasy mild panic, or full blown terror. Oddly enough, the very first time he had turned human, he had been so happy, because he would finally be able to fit in. Surely everyone would accept him if he was finally a full-blooded something? He would stop being abused so much, and his mother could have finally been at ease because now her son would have been fully human.
Then the sun rose, and that little dream had been shattered forever, and from that time on, although he loved his mother more then anything, he had hated his human blood.
And on the other hand, he couldn’t allow his demon blood full reign either. The fact that he could not control himself was unsettling, honestly although he could not clearly remember everything that happened while he was under its influence, he could remember bits and pieces, but he had seen the carnage after his demon blood pulled back, which helped fill in the blanks, that, coupled with his human friends recounting of the events that had transpired, was both terrifying and disheartening. He was not about to lie to himself, because if he could, he would keep his demon blood at the forefront at all times, if he could have controlled his actions and not been overwhelmed by such bloodlust then he would have never taken Tessaiga up again, unless for some reason he needed it’s strength. But Inuyasha did remember the feel of his demon side’s strength, the rush of raw power burning though him. It had felt so good, to feel that powerful. He was ashamed to admit it, but he had enjoyed ripping though Goshinki after he had transformed for the first time. He had enjoyed splattering Gatenmaru and his bandits all over the ground. He had even torn massive gashes into Ryukotsusei while his demon blood had taken over. But he could not control it, and for that he was deeply ashamed. It certainly did not help to learn that his father had actually had Tessaiga crafted partially to restrain Inuyasha’s demon blood from overwhelming him. To learn that his father had known that he would be so weak….
It burned.
Inuyasha focused back on the sleeping Sesshomaru, his older brother, the man who perhaps tied Naraku in terms of hatred for Inuyasha, and in that moment, Inuyasha began to hate back, it bubbled and churned inside of him, as he stared at Sesshomaru’s sleeping face, taking in Sesshomaru’s demon markings, the proper Youki ears perched on the side of his head, the smooth silver hair that never seemed to get dirty or tangled. Sesshomaru was everything Inuyasha should have been, and Inuyasha hated that. Sesshomaru had even purer blood running though his veins, and yet he was always in perfect control. Sesshomaru never lost it, never turned into a snarling killing machine. Why could he control it, and Inuyasha could not? Did Inuyasha’s human side weaken him that much? Or was it simply because Sesshomaru knew how to do it, could that be it? Could it not be that Inuyasha was weak, but only that he lacked the proper training to control the power within him?
But if so, wouldn’t Myoga have told him? The flea was a coward and a pain in the ass, but Inuyasha would think he would have been told if he could somehow learn to truly harness his demon blood. But then again maybe Myoga would not; the flea was a pain in the ass like that, probably would think that because there was no one to teach Inuyasha, that he didn’t need to know. Or maybe his father had order Myoga to hide the information from his youngest son, so Inuyasha would not somehow ignore his human side. To be honest, it sounded like something Inu-Taisho would do….at least the parts of Inu-Taisho, Inuyasha knew.
Gods he was so tired….just so tired of everything.
“So get some rest, the sun isn’t even up, relax and go back to sleep.” Inuyasha’s Youki muttered.
Fuck that.
He was NOT sleeping with Sesshomaru, he had to get away, away from this stupid smug bastard who did nothing but rub in all of Inuyasha’s weaknesses, who did nothing but remind him with his very presence, everything Inuyasha was supposed to be. Sesshomaru had everything, the lands, the home, the care, he even had the other half of the blood that Inuyasha should have had.
Inuyasha loved his mother more then anything else in the world, more then he had loved Kagome, and even more then Kikyo. But Inuyasha should have been born pure, it wasn’t fair….it wasn’t fair.
Snarling at Sesshomaru, all Inuyasha wanted to do was kill him, rip his fucking throat right out, the fact that Sesshomaru could sleep so soundly next to him only showed how dangerous Sesshomaru felt he was. Gods Inuyasha wanted to kill him, not quick…oh no, he wanted it to be slow; he wanted Sesshomaru to look at him, wanted to see the realization of who had killed him creep into Sesshomaru’s eyes.
But he couldn’t have that, so at the very least, he was NOT going to sleep next to him. He didn’t care how comfortable it was, or how warm it was, or how good his body felt, or how nice and soothing Sesshomaru felt against him, and he certainly was not going to allow that nagging sense of rightness keep him from getting the hell away from the asshole.
“Oh yes…those are perfect reasons for us to move out into the cold, and into a hard, uncomfortable, scratchy tree.” His Youki quipped, voice dripping with sarcasm. “How dare he make us feel warm, comfortable and safe. The royal bastard.”
“You know what…..FUCK YOU. You’re supposed to be a part of me and yet you’re a Sesshomaru cheering squad? He’s just using us and whatever the reason he decided to do…to do this, probably has something to do with some fucked up plan of his. You know if you’re just going to say stupid fucking shit like that, then why don’t you just stop talking. I got along perfectly fine before you started rambling and I’ll do just fine when you’re gone.” Inuyasha raged.
“Using us huh? Then why not use him back? Enjoy this while it last. It’s not often…hell EVER that we are in a position like this, warm, soft and safe. Lastly…chill the FUCK OUT with the attitude ok? I’m not your enemy, and you do realize that the demon side you just spend a good ten minutes agonizing over just so happens to be m-”
“Shut up…shut up…shut up, shutupshupshupshup! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!” Inuyasha screamed, he couldn’t take it, the changes in his body, the buzzing in his head, all the bullshit he had been subject to….he just wanted some peace, just a few FUCKING hours of peace. Inuyasha twisted, pushing against Sesshomaru, he wanted free and by god he was going to get free, but Sesshomaru was holding him so tight, not just the arm, but his tail was wrapped around them so securely. There had to be a way to make him let go! If only….if only the bastard would relax so Inuyasha could get away….but every time he did, and Inuyasha tried to pull away, Sesshomaru tightened up again…..how in the hell was he going to….?
Inuyasha stared at the marks on Sesshomaru’s neck.
“That’s it……that’s it!” Inuyasha thought, if those stupid things relaxed him to the point where he couldn’t move, then the same thing ought to happen to Sesshomaru.
Right???
Inuyasha slid his hand up Sesshomaru’s chest, reaching for the marks, sliding into the junction between Sesshomaru’s neck and shoulder, Inuyasha’s fingers found them, gently he rubbed back and forth, and was puzzled to find that the marks even had texture to them. Sesshomaru’s moist lips parted slightly, a light little gasp shuddering through them. Inuyasha felt the arm and tail around him begin to loosen slightly, and he grinned in triumph. Just a few more moments and he would make his move, and once he was up….well maybe he couldn’t kill Sesshomaru in his sleep at the moment, after all if the bastard was right about the other Lords coming after him, he wasn’t about to trade one bastard that he knew for two he didn’t. But he was however going to lay a good solid foot right in Sesshomaru’s smug face.
But then, as with so many other things that involved Sesshomaru, it just had to go right to shit.
Inuyasha heard Sesshomaru mutter something intelligible, and his older brother suddenly twisted, wrapping his legs tighter around Inuyasha’s, securely, but not at all painful, before his arm curled around Inuyasha’s neck, pulling his face into his chest. Inuyasha did his best to bite at the chest his face was suddenly way to close to, but all he could manage was a light nip, the angle all wrong. Sesshomaru made another noise, before dipping his head down, burying his face in Inuyasha’s hair. Inuyasha could hear his brother’s heart beating and for could have sworn he heard his name when Sesshomaru began to purr.
That was the best way Inuyasha could describe the deep rumbling that resounded within Sesshomaru’s chest, and began to reverberate inside his own body.
“Stupid…stupid moron, dogs don’t purr! Cats do!…stupid…” Inuyasha groused before yawning. He suddenly felt tired again, taking a deep breath Inuyasha noticed Sesshomaru scent had changed ever so slightly, it was slightly sweeter, a bit fuller….and making Inuyasha drowsy as hell. Inuyasha tried to shake it off, but he couldn’t…his eyes felt so heavy. Slowly they closed, and he forced them open again, only to have the droop once more. “What’s…what’s going on?…why….why can’t….yaaaaawn…..maybe…just….just a few minutes…just rest a few minutes…then….then I’ll get up…” Inuyasha muttered, as his eyes drifted shut once more, his breathing evening out, body going limp.
And Sesshomaru continued to purr.
Koga continued to race across the land, his nose testing the world around him. Why did Inuyasha and his group always have to move around so fucking much? Would it kill them to sit still? It didn’t help the fact that when Inuyasha was leading them the hanyo often did little things with his scent, randomly jumping around the place, walking in a large circle, making sure to put much of his scent upon the surroundings as possible, before quickly making his away in a different direction. The silver haired freak was always agonizingly painful to track. Was it not bad enough that Koga had to spend days arguing with the elders around his choice to take the monk Miroku as his consort. That had caused one hell of an uproar, stupid old bastards, he couldn’t believe they couldn’t understand, that it had taken him that long to pound it though their collective heads. Of COURSE he wasn’t going to take the monk as his mate, that would just be fucking stupid. The human could not bare him any pups, and even if he could, they would be hanyo, and Koga had, had more then his share of stupid fucking hanyo. Granted, Kagome would have also bore him hanyo…but she could sense jewel shards, she had been special, but that was also before he found out how much of a pain in the ass she was, and before had to deal with a pissy hanyo over and over. Miroku would be his consort, his concubine…why did that take them so long to get? Over and over he had said ‘not mate’ but they just didn’t seem to listen. Why in the hell would he even think of mating himself to a human male? Stupid…
Miroku was fairly strong, and he was also loyal, Koga was sure he would serve him and the pack well. Granted the monk might resist at first, but Koga was sure that once he got Miroku alone….he could easily persuade him. Koga didn’t know why, but he just got the feeling that the monk would be one hell of a good Uke….one that he couldn’t wait to sink his body into. It was almost as if some higher power that Snagged him and Laughed, was whispering it into his ear. Sniffing the air Koga caught the group’s scent….although there seemed to be another Inu scent mixed in….weird. Either way, the monk would soon be his.
Koga smiled. Oh yes….he wasn’t going to get cheated out of what he wanted this time.
Sesshomaru had been sleeping peacefully, more soundly then he had in decades. The little one he was curled around felt so warm and good. He was able to have the rich scent of his family fill his nose, and it was thick on his skin and in his fur, soothing his nerves and relaxing his mind, he had been on edge for so many years, all alone without anyone for so long, he had been so lonely.
He had been able to keep his loneliness at bay during the day, filling his time with tasks and responsibilities. But when the light faded and he crawled into his bed, it had always torn at him then, making his heart ache and his rest fitful. He had ignored it for so long….that he had simply gotten used to it, and had ceased realizing it was there. But now, with his family so close, he was feeling whole for the first time in….well he couldn’t remember how long.
Why had he not taken his sibling into his bed earlier? In his sleep filled mind Sesshomaru could not remember. But he had to agree with his instincts, he would be keeping his baby brother close from now on. But then the little one began to twist and turn, disturbing Sesshomaru’s much needed rest. It was probably some soft of nightmare, the primal part of him reasoned, so Sesshomaru pulled his wonderful smelling sibling closer, holding him tighter, letting him know he was safe. But for some reason Inuyasha continued to thrash, shaking Sesshomaru even harder and the Lord of the West woke just enough to know that it was far to early for them to rise. Then he caught a whiff of what smelled almost like his father, was that it? Was the little one not thrashing but being shaken awake by father? Father was always like that….the man truly was the enemy of slumber.
Sesshomaru groaned out a few words, telling father to leave them in peace, then vague noises began to flood into Sesshomaru’s ears and the little one still would not hold still. Sesshomaru wrapped himself tighter around his little brother. They needed sleep, and Sesshomaru didn’t know what all the fuss was about but whatever it was, it could wait. For but a few moments peace was obtained, but then his baby brother started moving again, seemingly attempting to roll over and Sesshomaru loosened his grip, he certainly had no problem with it if his brother wanted to snuggle closer, burying his cute little face into Sesshomaru’s chest. As Inuyasha seemed to achieve his desire to roll over Sesshomaru pulled him close once more, only to have Inuyasha begin to thrash once more, this was getting ridiculous…..
What was the problem? If this continued Sesshomaru was going to have to fully awaken, and that was something he did NOT feel like doing. Was something wrong with the little one?
Sesshomaru felt his coat open, and a hand slip inside, the next thing his sleep hazed mind knew bursts of warmth were flooding through him. That’s right…..he had almost forgotten, Inuyasha was his intended, well that changed everything, it was obviously that his mate-to-be could not sleep for some unknown reason and was requesting Sesshomaru’s aid. Instinctively Sesshomaru pulled Inuyasha closer to him, his body beginning to take the necessary steps to sooth his intended, Sesshomaru began to purr softly as his heart began to pump harder, sending his blood racing through his veins, as his body began to manufacture a subtle chemical and release it into his blood, the changes seeped into the scent that oozed through his pores, slowly his baby brother began to stop thrashing, his breathing beginning to even out before taking the tell-tale deepness of slumber. Inwardly Sesshomaru sighed contently; his new sweeter scent had eased his intended to sleep; now everything would be fine. They would be able to rest, and the day would go better because of it.
He was sure of it.
“What do you think they are doing?”
“Well I am but a simple monk, but I would have to say that they are sleeping Kagome.”
“Well no duh! Since when do they sleep together? They hated each other last I knew.”
“Well I have heard that most Inu prefer to sleep close to each other.”
“Really? That’s kind of weird Sango.”
“Well they are dogs…and siblings. I used to hold my little brother close when we slept, did you not ever sleep with Souta?”
“Well yeah I have….but me and Souta never tried to kill each other.”
Inuyasha stirred slightly as the voiced invaded his ears.
“…..They look like a giant marshmallow to me.”
“They look pretty damn warm and comfortable to me.”
“Yeah I’ll say a lot better then sleeping on the ground, I’m the kid here how come I didn’t get invited?”
“I do not know Shippo, maybe it an Inu only kind of thing?”
Inuyasha scowled, who the fuck was talking and why wouldn’t they shut the hell up? Groaning Inuyasha scooted forward, pressing himself tighter into great smelling warmth in front of him.
“Oh. My. God. Did Inuyasha just nuzzle Sesshomaru chest?”
“…It appears so.”
“So….the two Inu boys are snuggling.”
“That is so…..cute!”
“K-Kagome?!”
“W hat? Well it is….”
“Were you not just angry at Inuyasha like…yesterday?”
“Well I’m still not happy but I still think this would make a cute picture to show my mom. Did I bring my camera?”
Inuyasha could hear a faint rustling in the background. Honestly what was all the fuss about?
“….They are rather beautiful. Its not often you can see such ethereal demon’s like this. I‘m almost jealous.”
“My dear Sango, if you wanted someone to cold you close why did you just say so?”
“Touch my ass and lose the hand monk…..”
Inuyasha couldn’t help but feel like he was forgetting something, something important. But would be that be? A shadow fell over the side of Inuyasha’s face.
“Inuyasha.” The voice said. “Are you ever going to wake up?”
Wake up? Now why in the seven burning hells would he want to do that? He felt great….
“Maybe whatever happened back there with Nefrume is happing again?”
“That could be but….why does it look like Sesshomaru is shielding Inuyasha?”
“It’s probably an Alpha thing, you know the oldest and strongest protected the younger and weaker of the family.”
“I think Inuyasha would seriously protest the weaker comment.”
“Well….I don’t know about all of that, but I do know mom and dad used to hold me like that when we slept.”
“Is that so Shippo?”
“Yeah, but I was usually in the middle of the two of them.”
“Makes sense, parents protecting their child.”
“I could have sworn I brought my camera! The problem is I have too much junk in my backpack!”
Suddenly something began tugging at Inuyasha’s hair.
“You’d better wake up father; something tells me you don’t want Kagome taking one of those pic-tur-es.” Inuyasha growled, raising his hand and swatting at the noisy hair puller. “Come on now, its afternoon already, you never sleep this long!” Afternoon?
“Hey I think I found it!”
“Uh oh….well I just know I’m going to get it if I don’t stop her so……you asked for this father….” Inuyasha felt his ear be gently tugged open, before an ear splitting whistle tore through it.
“ARRRGGGGH!!” Inuyasha roared as he swung himself up in a sitting position, clutching his right ear as the red headed fox kit was sent sprawling. Unfortunately Sesshomaru’s tail was still curled around him, and his movement had jerked the Lord of the West up as well and the momentum sent Sesshomaru headfirst into a large rock at their side. The side of the demon Lord’s skull smashed into the rock with a dull thunk, and instantly Sesshomaru was also awake, Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha as he hissed in pain and clutched at his injured head.
“I should hope….you have a good reason for doing that.” Sesshomaru growled out, voice laden with sleep, still groggy from the abrupt awakening.
“Alright who the fuck did that? That shit hurts!” Inuyasha raged, ignoring the brother at his back, and the tail that still enveloped him.
“I’m sorry!” Shippo wailed, “It’s just that you wouldn’t wake up, and I thought that maybe you were under a spell again, I mean why else would you be snuggling with Sesshomaru?” What? Snuggling with Sesshomaru? Why the fuck would he….
Inuyasha looked down at the tail wrapped around his body. SHIT! He’d fallen asleep again!
“Get this fucking thing off of me!!” Inuyasha snapped as he began to claw at the fluffy appendage.
“Be still. It is too early for such commotion.” Sesshomaru groaned.
“Um….my lord? Its already afternoon.” The monk Miroku stated.
“…..To early after such a jarring awakening.” Sesshomaru quickly amended.
“Damn it! Why the fuck are you sleeping next to me? Why wouldn’t you let me go earlier!? How the hell did I get here anyway!?” Inuyasha snarled, still trying to free himself from Sesshomaru’s tail…and failing.
“You fell asleep in the lake; I brought you back to the camp.” Sesshomaru muttered, stifling a yawn, that was the best sleep he had indulged in, in decades…..so why did it have to end so soon?
“And whose fault is that?! YOURS! If you would have stopped fucking touching me! I swear….I’m gonna kick your ass Sesshomaru!”
“Sesshomaru was touching you? While you were naked?” Miroku asked.
“Well….I…….he snuck up on me! And….and…..” Inuyasha stammered.
“It was necessary….or would you have preferred I leave you to the cramping?” Sesshomaru asked.
“Cramping?” Sango exclaimed.
“I…..oh fuck you Sesshomaru!” Inuyasha roared.
“…..Still as elegant and charming a speaker as ever Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru mused as he stood, uncurling his tail from himself and his sibling.
“About fucking time!” Inuyasha yelled as he sprang up onto his feet. “Why wouldn’t you let me go when I woke up before the sun came up!?”
“……”
“Don’ ;t ignore me!” Inuyasha growled.
“Hey! When did they get up! I wanted to get a picture!” Kagome suddenly said, as she came running up, so strange looking device in her hand.
“Just now…..” Miroku muttered.
“Damn….” Kagome grumbled.
“Well? Why wouldn’t you let me go! And what the hell did you do to make me fall asleep again!” Inuyasha continued, ignoring the rest of the group
“……..”
“I swear I‘m going to fuck you up Sesshomaru! I‘m going to jam Tessaiga right up your ass if you don’t answer me!” Inuyasha growled. Sesshomaru turned and began walking away. “HEY! Fucker! Don’t you walk away from me!” Inuyasha shouted as he began to chase after his brother.
“Hey! Don’t forget about me!” Shippo cried out as he raced after Inuyasha.
Miroku sighed as he turned to the others.
“We’d better hurry up and follow them if we don’t want to get left behind.”
Quickly the human members of the group gathered up their things and began to follow after the two Inu brothers.
“…..I still say it would have been a great picture.” Kagome muttered.
“I agree.” Sango said.
Inuyasha’s voice could be heard for miles around.
“God damn it! If you don’t answer me right now, I’m going to strangle you with that fucking fluffy thing!”
“…….”
Ooooh 230;.that was it….he was going to make Sesshomaru’s day a living hell from here on out.
Ok it’s a short chapter I know, and I apologize, but I’ve have recently had some serious drama pass through my life which has left me with a MAJOR case of writers block. I didn’t want to leave you all hanging, so I managed to whip this chapter up, I hope it’s not to disappointing, I hope to get to the meeting of the Lords in the next chapter and the finishing of Inuyasha’s bodily changes soon. But I’m not sure how long that will take, so I hope this will tide you all over for a little while. Thanks for reading everyone, you guys and your wonderful reviews mean the world to me.
On a side note I have been asked about the nesting, to make a long story short it comes from two of my parent’s dogs. Bruiser Brody and Smoke-man, basically Bruiser HAS to lay on someone when he sleeps and one day he just flopped on top of Smoke, who proceeded to grump and groan in his doggy way, but made no attempt to move, well anyway they then feel asleep, but they had all their Dog blankets around them and it looked like a big birds nest…..so there you have it!
Mysteriously Moi: Run on’s? Huh….I thought got all the comma’s where I need them….well obviously I missed a few. Yes I think Inuyasha with a tail would be rather cute. As for Koga and Miroku….well….I’m got a few ideas.
Inusoshi: Well I don’t know if he over reacted to the nesting then, but he did react to it haha.
midnight whispers: Oh it was just the typical religious style hate mail; I’m sure everyone who has written a yaoi has gotten one or two of them. What a coincidence it makes my day when I open my inbox and see I have a new review, so everyone’s happy I guess.
Cat Happy: Yeah for this story a dead Inu-Taisho is rather necessary.
szaugglaughs: Hey Szaug! I was wondering where you’d gone. I worked really hard on the last two chapters, and I so hope this one doesn’t bomb. Well Koga is coming back, but I’m not sure what’s going to happen, I tend to enjoy angst so you can probably expect a little bit more before its all said and done. The scene with Sess inside of Inu’s head was a thought that I had, had in mine for a while now, that chapter was the one I wanted to get to while I was writing all the others. I hope you enjoy this chapter like you did the others, as for my mail, meh I wasn’t upset by it, some people are just like that, they see something they don’t like and they go off, as I’ve said, I imagine I’m not the first, nor the last, to receive such mail. I left something special in the story for you; see if you can find it.
ginger75125: Don’t like my tail idea? Awww…and I thought it was such a good idea.
ladytokyo: Haha no sorry Daigon isn’t yoda, but stay tuned for more clues on him. Sesshomaru does have his work cut out for him, but he’s motivated now. I’m really not sure what to do with the girls but I’m not sure if Kagome will be around much longer. I like to add little touches to their way of life, because well….they aren’t human, so it gives all kinds of opportunities to do new things. I’d pretty much decided Nefrume was dead the moment I made her haha, sorry if her death wasn’t clear. Hope you enjoyed the morning after.
LadySess: Sess has got a LOT of leading Inuyasha around in his future, after all that’s kind of what older siblings are for.
Bibi11: Sesshomaru isn’t just another pretty face, there’s a damn good mind behind all of that, and he’s gonna have to be subtle if he is going to get Inuyasha to do anything he wants. Inuyasha really is confused and battered right now, so yeah Sesshomaru will kinda be on eggshells around him, the trick is, can the Ice Lord keep everything in check so that he doesn’t drive Inuyasha away? Because yeah, more verbal and maybe physical abuse is in his future.
Tai-san: More then potatoes eh?….Mmmmm potatoes….ahem Sessho is trying but its going to be a long road. Fortunately little Inu is just so open right now.
Hi: Writers block is punting me around the room, but I haven’t given up yet.
Pipsqueak: You don’t have to be good at writing reviews to do one, just say what you like, and what you don’t like.
Lady Yueh: Thank you so much for your praise. You seem to think along the same lines I do, because that’s exactly why I started this story in the first place. I can’t stand the submissive Inuyasha whose brain turns to goo the moment Sesshomaru touches, now admittedly some of those stories are very good, but its still not what I wanted to do, and your right, I’m really in no hurry for Inu to forgive Sesshomaru, and although I do intend for some lemony content in the future, I’m not looking to dump them into bed either. The Inu-Taisho death got me misty as well, and yes I to love Sess-Youki; he’s fun to play with. Inuyasha has been through some serious hell in his life and I don’t intend to ignore that, so I’m very glad you have enjoyed my story and I hope to keep you just as interested.
gen50: I myself enjoy a good cuddle, I felt like Nefrume’s actions would leave a lasting echo for a while, plus I wanted a cool down chapter. I find Miroku easier to write then some of the other characters, but yeah I think he’s a good person all around.
hyperactive pup: I’m a cliffy kinda guy, I like to leave with one good last sentence, even though I always growl at other people’s cliffys so I guess this is my revenge? Haha it’s not to torture you, but I do want to leave you wanting more. Kagome may be bitchy but I still think she’s not to extreme; she does seem to have major mood swings even in the manga to me though. Inuyasha is having a hard time, I mean he’s been told his disgusting and vile his whole life, it’d give anyone a complex you know? Yes Sesshomaru’s scrambling to get a foothold on mount Inuyasha; it’s not going to be easy either. Koga’s coming back, but who knows what he is going to do when he gets there.
star_struck: Hanyou eh? Well every story I’ve read seems to say its hanyo…so that’s what I went with. I have very little knowledge of Japanese. I know I’m not the best writer, but then again this is all kinda practice for me. I need a good editor really. I try to update as often as I can, I think I can at least get a once a month thing going, although I’d like to do more. Gollum? Nope, Daigon isn’t from Gollum, good guess though.
Once again thank you to everyone who had read, I hope this chapter is enjoyable for you all and I’m sorry it’s so short. I’ll try to do better, I just got so stuck and I didn’t want to make everyone wait, so I figured I’d just make one more chapter inside of one big one.

This is Youki speaking
This is Thinking.
Inuyasha awoke slowly, he wasn’t sure where he was and he could not clearly remember falling asleep. He stretched lightly, he was warm, he was comfortable, and although he wasn’t sure what he was laying on, damn it felt nice and soft. Inuyasha blinked rapidly, his eyes struggling to focus, from what he could tell it was still very early, the sun had not yet even begun to peak over the horizon. Sleep still tugged at him and he was finding it difficult to resist its pull.
Well it was still early, no real reason he couldn’t lay back and enjoy the warmth that enveloped him. Had he ever been this warm before? Sighing pleasantly Inuyasha snuggled back into the warm deep breathing body behind him, the arm around his waist tightening slightly.
Wait….
What the?
Arm around his waist?
Warm body at his back?
Scooting his body down a little Inuyasha was able to twist just enough to turn his head face to face with his warm snuggler. What he saw instantly jolted him out of his sleepy haze.
Sess-fucking-homaru.
Not sure what the hell was going on or how the hell he got here, Inuyasha tried to pull away, only to have Sesshomaru’s arm and the fur curled around them tighten. Murmuring in his sleep Sesshomaru nuzzled his face into the hollow of Inuyasha’s neck. Inuyasha growled, now realizing that it was Sesshomaru’s tail wrapped around him. He was waaaaaaaaaaay to close to his bother for his own comfort. Inuyasha continued to struggle quietly, the last thing he wanted to have happen was for the others to wake up and see this. His efforts were in vain however as Sesshomaru threw his leg up over Inuyasha’s hip, curling around it before snaking in between his legs, effectively locking his right leg in place.
“Sesshomaru! Let me go!” Inuyasha hissed, keeping his voice down. Sesshomaru’s eyebrows furrowed slightly and he let out a small groan, before he nipped lightly at Inuyasha’s neck. Inuyasha growled his displeasure once more, louder then the last time. Even asleep Sesshomaru was basically telling him to shut up. “Asshole….let go of me! I swear that I’m going to knock the ever loving shit out of you!” Inuyasha whispered, trying to pull away once more. Groaning louder Sesshomaru pulled Inuyasha back in, tighter this time.
“Mmmmm….too….early.” Sesshomaru mumbled. Confusion ran though Inuyasha, he couldn’t believe how deep a sleeper Sesshomaru seemed to be. Inuyasha generally awoke at the drop of a hat, and he felt a moment of moment of deep jealousy that his brother had been able to sleep with such security all these years.
Inuyasha continued to struggle, twisting and turning, trying to get some sort of leverage. Sesshomaru grumbled before rolling slightly, placing a greater amount of weight upon Inuyasha, pinning him slightly. Inuyasha huffed, this was ridiculous!
“Father…..” Sesshomaru whined, the bastard actually whined! “It’s to early….Sess and Yash need sleep.” Inuyasha’s jaw dropped, and he was forced to fight back laughter that rumbled in his chest. To hear such a childlike whine come out of the Ice Lord’s mouth was damn amusing. Even still, Inuyasha wanted to get up, he was tired and just wanted to get back to sleep, and wait a minute….did Sesshomaru just call him Yash?
“So go back to sleep, your warm, your comfortable, what’s the problem?” His Youki drawled.
“I’m not sleeping with Sesshomaru!” Inuyasha shot back. Wiggling Inuyasha attempted to free himself, if he didn’t get free pretty damn soon, he was just gonna punch Sesshomaru in the throat or something. Bucking his hips Inuyasha managed to almost get free, only to have Sesshomaru growl in his sleep and pull him back in, it was then Inuyasha found his face buried in Sesshomaru’s chest. Snarling Inuyasha bared his fangs, that was it! He was just going to tear a chunk out of Sesshomaru, see if the bastard wouldn’t wake up then. Leaning in Inuyasha reached up, yanking Sesshomaru’s coat open and prepared to sink his teeth into his older brother’s flesh when two things caught his eye. One, Sesshomaru’s inner shirt seemed to be missing, and two, the mark Inuyasha had left on Sesshomaru on the cliffs came into view. Intellectually he had known he had marked his brother, but seeing it sent a warm flush though him, and made it all that much more real. A thought coursed through his mind, if he bit Sesshomaru once more, would that bite turn into another mark? Or would it just be another normal bite? What had turned his first bite into a mark anyway?
“I would think that a normal bite would have healed by now…and not…changed into the design that one has. So that should mean that the bite was NOT normal and had something behind it…right?” Inuyasha thought.
He had no clue…..
Damn it.
It was then Inuyasha realized that he was wearing a shirt, and a quick inspection reviled it to be none other then Sesshomaru’s shirt. The realization sent little flutters in motion within Inuyasha’s stomach. Quickly he shook the feeling off, so the bastard had put a shirt on his back, big deal. Still….Inuyasha found himself pulling the shirt tighter onto himself, it smelled of his brother, and Inuyasha was not surprised to find that it was constructed of a fine silk. Why would Sesshomaru put his own custom tailored clothing onto a body that he had, more the once, proclaimed to be a disgusting, vile, dirty pile of flesh. Inuyasha decided to chalk it up as more of Sesshomaru’s new found weirdness. But he was not about to just file it away, Sesshomaru was obviously up to something, and he would need to be careful if he was going to avoid his brother’s trap….
Whatever it was…
Inuyasha was however, grateful to have some cover; he hated to bare his body, especially in front of other people. His body was freaky and he knew it, he was a half-breed, neither one nor the other, a mutant really. He could not be at peace, even with his own skin, his human and demon halves were constantly tearing at each other, one punting the other one out whenever it got the chance. His human half getting its opportunity each and every new moon but his demon half would counter that if he did not have Tessaiga on him during times of danger, and for a half-breed….dangerous life threatening situation’s just came along with the label.
On one hand he hated his human nights, hated them so fucking much. He hated the weakness in his limbs, the pathetic dulling of his senses. He hated how easily he could be injured. It didn’t help that those nights were either filled with an uneasy mild panic, or full blown terror. Oddly enough, the very first time he had turned human, he had been so happy, because he would finally be able to fit in. Surely everyone would accept him if he was finally a full-blooded something? He would stop being abused so much, and his mother could have finally been at ease because now her son would have been fully human.
Then the sun rose, and that little dream had been shattered forever, and from that time on, although he loved his mother more then anything, he had hated his human blood.
And on the other hand, he couldn’t allow his demon blood full reign either. The fact that he could not control himself was unsettling, honestly although he could not clearly remember everything that happened while he was under its influence, he could remember bits and pieces, but he had seen the carnage after his demon blood pulled back, which helped fill in the blanks, that, coupled with his human friends recounting of the events that had transpired, was both terrifying and disheartening. He was not about to lie to himself, because if he could, he would keep his demon blood at the forefront at all times, if he could have controlled his actions and not been overwhelmed by such bloodlust then he would have never taken Tessaiga up again, unless for some reason he needed it’s strength. But Inuyasha did remember the feel of his demon side’s strength, the rush of raw power burning though him. It had felt so good, to feel that powerful. He was ashamed to admit it, but he had enjoyed ripping though Goshinki after he had transformed for the first time. He had enjoyed splattering Gatenmaru and his bandits all over the ground. He had even torn massive gashes into Ryukotsusei while his demon blood had taken over. But he could not control it, and for that he was deeply ashamed. It certainly did not help to learn that his father had actually had Tessaiga crafted partially to restrain Inuyasha’s demon blood from overwhelming him. To learn that his father had known that he would be so weak….
It burned.
Inuyasha focused back on the sleeping Sesshomaru, his older brother, the man who perhaps tied Naraku in terms of hatred for Inuyasha, and in that moment, Inuyasha began to hate back, it bubbled and churned inside of him, as he stared at Sesshomaru’s sleeping face, taking in Sesshomaru’s demon markings, the proper Youki ears perched on the side of his head, the smooth silver hair that never seemed to get dirty or tangled. Sesshomaru was everything Inuyasha should have been, and Inuyasha hated that. Sesshomaru had even purer blood running though his veins, and yet he was always in perfect control. Sesshomaru never lost it, never turned into a snarling killing machine. Why could he control it, and Inuyasha could not? Did Inuyasha’s human side weaken him that much? Or was it simply because Sesshomaru knew how to do it, could that be it? Could it not be that Inuyasha was weak, but only that he lacked the proper training to control the power within him?
But if so, wouldn’t Myoga have told him? The flea was a coward and a pain in the ass, but Inuyasha would think he would have been told if he could somehow learn to truly harness his demon blood. But then again maybe Myoga would not; the flea was a pain in the ass like that, probably would think that because there was no one to teach Inuyasha, that he didn’t need to know. Or maybe his father had order Myoga to hide the information from his youngest son, so Inuyasha would not somehow ignore his human side. To be honest, it sounded like something Inu-Taisho would do….at least the parts of Inu-Taisho, Inuyasha knew.
Gods he was so tired….just so tired of everything.
“So get some rest, the sun isn’t even up, relax and go back to sleep.” Inuyasha’s Youki muttered.
Fuck that.
He was NOT sleeping with Sesshomaru, he had to get away, away from this stupid smug bastard who did nothing but rub in all of Inuyasha’s weaknesses, who did nothing but remind him with his very presence, everything Inuyasha was supposed to be. Sesshomaru had everything, the lands, the home, the care, he even had the other half of the blood that Inuyasha should have had.
Inuyasha loved his mother more then anything else in the world, more then he had loved Kagome, and even more then Kikyo. But Inuyasha should have been born pure, it wasn’t fair….it wasn’t fair.
Snarling at Sesshomaru, all Inuyasha wanted to do was kill him, rip his fucking throat right out, the fact that Sesshomaru could sleep so soundly next to him only showed how dangerous Sesshomaru felt he was. Gods Inuyasha wanted to kill him, not quick…oh no, he wanted it to be slow; he wanted Sesshomaru to look at him, wanted to see the realization of who had killed him creep into Sesshomaru’s eyes.
But he couldn’t have that, so at the very least, he was NOT going to sleep next to him. He didn’t care how comfortable it was, or how warm it was, or how good his body felt, or how nice and soothing Sesshomaru felt against him, and he certainly was not going to allow that nagging sense of rightness keep him from getting the hell away from the asshole.
“Oh yes…those are perfect reasons for us to move out into the cold, and into a hard, uncomfortable, scratchy tree.” His Youki quipped, voice dripping with sarcasm. “How dare he make us feel warm, comfortable and safe. The royal bastard.”
“You know what…..FUCK YOU. You’re supposed to be a part of me and yet you’re a Sesshomaru cheering squad? He’s just using us and whatever the reason he decided to do…to do this, probably has something to do with some fucked up plan of his. You know if you’re just going to say stupid fucking shit like that, then why don’t you just stop talking. I got along perfectly fine before you started rambling and I’ll do just fine when you’re gone.” Inuyasha raged.
“Using us huh? Then why not use him back? Enjoy this while it last. It’s not often…hell EVER that we are in a position like this, warm, soft and safe. Lastly…chill the FUCK OUT with the attitude ok? I’m not your enemy, and you do realize that the demon side you just spend a good ten minutes agonizing over just so happens to be m-”
“Shut up…shut up…shut up, shutupshupshupshup! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!” Inuyasha screamed, he couldn’t take it, the changes in his body, the buzzing in his head, all the bullshit he had been subject to….he just wanted some peace, just a few FUCKING hours of peace. Inuyasha twisted, pushing against Sesshomaru, he wanted free and by god he was going to get free, but Sesshomaru was holding him so tight, not just the arm, but his tail was wrapped around them so securely. There had to be a way to make him let go! If only….if only the bastard would relax so Inuyasha could get away….but every time he did, and Inuyasha tried to pull away, Sesshomaru tightened up again…..how in the hell was he going to….?
Inuyasha stared at the marks on Sesshomaru’s neck.
“That’s it……that’s it!” Inuyasha thought, if those stupid things relaxed him to the point where he couldn’t move, then the same thing ought to happen to Sesshomaru.
Right???
Inuyasha slid his hand up Sesshomaru’s chest, reaching for the marks, sliding into the junction between Sesshomaru’s neck and shoulder, Inuyasha’s fingers found them, gently he rubbed back and forth, and was puzzled to find that the marks even had texture to them. Sesshomaru’s moist lips parted slightly, a light little gasp shuddering through them. Inuyasha felt the arm and tail around him begin to loosen slightly, and he grinned in triumph. Just a few more moments and he would make his move, and once he was up….well maybe he couldn’t kill Sesshomaru in his sleep at the moment, after all if the bastard was right about the other Lords coming after him, he wasn’t about to trade one bastard that he knew for two he didn’t. But he was however going to lay a good solid foot right in Sesshomaru’s smug face.
But then, as with so many other things that involved Sesshomaru, it just had to go right to shit.
Inuyasha heard Sesshomaru mutter something intelligible, and his older brother suddenly twisted, wrapping his legs tighter around Inuyasha’s, securely, but not at all painful, before his arm curled around Inuyasha’s neck, pulling his face into his chest. Inuyasha did his best to bite at the chest his face was suddenly way to close to, but all he could manage was a light nip, the angle all wrong. Sesshomaru made another noise, before dipping his head down, burying his face in Inuyasha’s hair. Inuyasha could hear his brother’s heart beating and for could have sworn he heard his name when Sesshomaru began to purr.
That was the best way Inuyasha could describe the deep rumbling that resounded within Sesshomaru’s chest, and began to reverberate inside his own body.
“Stupid…stupid moron, dogs don’t purr! Cats do!…stupid…” Inuyasha groused before yawning. He suddenly felt tired again, taking a deep breath Inuyasha noticed Sesshomaru scent had changed ever so slightly, it was slightly sweeter, a bit fuller….and making Inuyasha drowsy as hell. Inuyasha tried to shake it off, but he couldn’t…his eyes felt so heavy. Slowly they closed, and he forced them open again, only to have the droop once more. “What’s…what’s going on?…why….why can’t….yaaaaawn…..maybe…just….just a few minutes…just rest a few minutes…then….then I’ll get up…” Inuyasha muttered, as his eyes drifted shut once more, his breathing evening out, body going limp.
And Sesshomaru continued to purr.
Koga continued to race across the land, his nose testing the world around him. Why did Inuyasha and his group always have to move around so fucking much? Would it kill them to sit still? It didn’t help the fact that when Inuyasha was leading them the hanyo often did little things with his scent, randomly jumping around the place, walking in a large circle, making sure to put much of his scent upon the surroundings as possible, before quickly making his away in a different direction. The silver haired freak was always agonizingly painful to track. Was it not bad enough that Koga had to spend days arguing with the elders around his choice to take the monk Miroku as his consort. That had caused one hell of an uproar, stupid old bastards, he couldn’t believe they couldn’t understand, that it had taken him that long to pound it though their collective heads. Of COURSE he wasn’t going to take the monk as his mate, that would just be fucking stupid. The human could not bare him any pups, and even if he could, they would be hanyo, and Koga had, had more then his share of stupid fucking hanyo. Granted, Kagome would have also bore him hanyo…but she could sense jewel shards, she had been special, but that was also before he found out how much of a pain in the ass she was, and before had to deal with a pissy hanyo over and over. Miroku would be his consort, his concubine…why did that take them so long to get? Over and over he had said ‘not mate’ but they just didn’t seem to listen. Why in the hell would he even think of mating himself to a human male? Stupid…
Miroku was fairly strong, and he was also loyal, Koga was sure he would serve him and the pack well. Granted the monk might resist at first, but Koga was sure that once he got Miroku alone….he could easily persuade him. Koga didn’t know why, but he just got the feeling that the monk would be one hell of a good Uke….one that he couldn’t wait to sink his body into. It was almost as if some higher power that Snagged him and Laughed, was whispering it into his ear. Sniffing the air Koga caught the group’s scent….although there seemed to be another Inu scent mixed in….weird. Either way, the monk would soon be his.
Koga smiled. Oh yes….he wasn’t going to get cheated out of what he wanted this time.
Sesshomaru had been sleeping peacefully, more soundly then he had in decades. The little one he was curled around felt so warm and good. He was able to have the rich scent of his family fill his nose, and it was thick on his skin and in his fur, soothing his nerves and relaxing his mind, he had been on edge for so many years, all alone without anyone for so long, he had been so lonely.
He had been able to keep his loneliness at bay during the day, filling his time with tasks and responsibilities. But when the light faded and he crawled into his bed, it had always torn at him then, making his heart ache and his rest fitful. He had ignored it for so long….that he had simply gotten used to it, and had ceased realizing it was there. But now, with his family so close, he was feeling whole for the first time in….well he couldn’t remember how long.
Why had he not taken his sibling into his bed earlier? In his sleep filled mind Sesshomaru could not remember. But he had to agree with his instincts, he would be keeping his baby brother close from now on. But then the little one began to twist and turn, disturbing Sesshomaru’s much needed rest. It was probably some soft of nightmare, the primal part of him reasoned, so Sesshomaru pulled his wonderful smelling sibling closer, holding him tighter, letting him know he was safe. But for some reason Inuyasha continued to thrash, shaking Sesshomaru even harder and the Lord of the West woke just enough to know that it was far to early for them to rise. Then he caught a whiff of what smelled almost like his father, was that it? Was the little one not thrashing but being shaken awake by father? Father was always like that….the man truly was the enemy of slumber.
Sesshomaru groaned out a few words, telling father to leave them in peace, then vague noises began to flood into Sesshomaru’s ears and the little one still would not hold still. Sesshomaru wrapped himself tighter around his little brother. They needed sleep, and Sesshomaru didn’t know what all the fuss was about but whatever it was, it could wait. For but a few moments peace was obtained, but then his baby brother started moving again, seemingly attempting to roll over and Sesshomaru loosened his grip, he certainly had no problem with it if his brother wanted to snuggle closer, burying his cute little face into Sesshomaru’s chest. As Inuyasha seemed to achieve his desire to roll over Sesshomaru pulled him close once more, only to have Inuyasha begin to thrash once more, this was getting ridiculous…..
What was the problem? If this continued Sesshomaru was going to have to fully awaken, and that was something he did NOT feel like doing. Was something wrong with the little one?
Sesshomaru felt his coat open, and a hand slip inside, the next thing his sleep hazed mind knew bursts of warmth were flooding through him. That’s right…..he had almost forgotten, Inuyasha was his intended, well that changed everything, it was obviously that his mate-to-be could not sleep for some unknown reason and was requesting Sesshomaru’s aid. Instinctively Sesshomaru pulled Inuyasha closer to him, his body beginning to take the necessary steps to sooth his intended, Sesshomaru began to purr softly as his heart began to pump harder, sending his blood racing through his veins, as his body began to manufacture a subtle chemical and release it into his blood, the changes seeped into the scent that oozed through his pores, slowly his baby brother began to stop thrashing, his breathing beginning to even out before taking the tell-tale deepness of slumber. Inwardly Sesshomaru sighed contently; his new sweeter scent had eased his intended to sleep; now everything would be fine. They would be able to rest, and the day would go better because of it.
He was sure of it.
“What do you think they are doing?”
“Well I am but a simple monk, but I would have to say that they are sleeping Kagome.”
“Well no duh! Since when do they sleep together? They hated each other last I knew.”
“Well I have heard that most Inu prefer to sleep close to each other.”
“Really? That’s kind of weird Sango.”
“Well they are dogs…and siblings. I used to hold my little brother close when we slept, did you not ever sleep with Souta?”
“Well yeah I have….but me and Souta never tried to kill each other.”
Inuyasha stirred slightly as the voiced invaded his ears.
“…..They look like a giant marshmallow to me.”
“They look pretty damn warm and comfortable to me.”
“Yeah I’ll say a lot better then sleeping on the ground, I’m the kid here how come I didn’t get invited?”
“I do not know Shippo, maybe it an Inu only kind of thing?”
Inuyasha scowled, who the fuck was talking and why wouldn’t they shut the hell up? Groaning Inuyasha scooted forward, pressing himself tighter into great smelling warmth in front of him.
“Oh. My. God. Did Inuyasha just nuzzle Sesshomaru chest?”
“…It appears so.”
“So….the two Inu boys are snuggling.”
“That is so…..cute!”
“K-Kagome?!”
“W hat? Well it is….”
“Were you not just angry at Inuyasha like…yesterday?”
“Well I’m still not happy but I still think this would make a cute picture to show my mom. Did I bring my camera?”
Inuyasha could hear a faint rustling in the background. Honestly what was all the fuss about?
“….They are rather beautiful. Its not often you can see such ethereal demon’s like this. I‘m almost jealous.”
“My dear Sango, if you wanted someone to cold you close why did you just say so?”
“Touch my ass and lose the hand monk…..”
Inuyasha couldn’t help but feel like he was forgetting something, something important. But would be that be? A shadow fell over the side of Inuyasha’s face.
“Inuyasha.” The voice said. “Are you ever going to wake up?”
Wake up? Now why in the seven burning hells would he want to do that? He felt great….
“Maybe whatever happened back there with Nefrume is happing again?”
“That could be but….why does it look like Sesshomaru is shielding Inuyasha?”
“It’s probably an Alpha thing, you know the oldest and strongest protected the younger and weaker of the family.”
“I think Inuyasha would seriously protest the weaker comment.”
“Well….I don’t know about all of that, but I do know mom and dad used to hold me like that when we slept.”
“Is that so Shippo?”
“Yeah, but I was usually in the middle of the two of them.”
“Makes sense, parents protecting their child.”
“I could have sworn I brought my camera! The problem is I have too much junk in my backpack!”
Suddenly something began tugging at Inuyasha’s hair.
“You’d better wake up father; something tells me you don’t want Kagome taking one of those pic-tur-es.” Inuyasha growled, raising his hand and swatting at the noisy hair puller. “Come on now, its afternoon already, you never sleep this long!” Afternoon?
“Hey I think I found it!”
“Uh oh….well I just know I’m going to get it if I don’t stop her so……you asked for this father….” Inuyasha felt his ear be gently tugged open, before an ear splitting whistle tore through it.
“ARRRGGGGH!!” Inuyasha roared as he swung himself up in a sitting position, clutching his right ear as the red headed fox kit was sent sprawling. Unfortunately Sesshomaru’s tail was still curled around him, and his movement had jerked the Lord of the West up as well and the momentum sent Sesshomaru headfirst into a large rock at their side. The side of the demon Lord’s skull smashed into the rock with a dull thunk, and instantly Sesshomaru was also awake, Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha as he hissed in pain and clutched at his injured head.
“I should hope….you have a good reason for doing that.” Sesshomaru growled out, voice laden with sleep, still groggy from the abrupt awakening.
“Alright who the fuck did that? That shit hurts!” Inuyasha raged, ignoring the brother at his back, and the tail that still enveloped him.
“I’m sorry!” Shippo wailed, “It’s just that you wouldn’t wake up, and I thought that maybe you were under a spell again, I mean why else would you be snuggling with Sesshomaru?” What? Snuggling with Sesshomaru? Why the fuck would he….
Inuyasha looked down at the tail wrapped around his body. SHIT! He’d fallen asleep again!
“Get this fucking thing off of me!!” Inuyasha snapped as he began to claw at the fluffy appendage.
“Be still. It is too early for such commotion.” Sesshomaru groaned.
“Um….my lord? Its already afternoon.” The monk Miroku stated.
“…..To early after such a jarring awakening.” Sesshomaru quickly amended.
“Damn it! Why the fuck are you sleeping next to me? Why wouldn’t you let me go earlier!? How the hell did I get here anyway!?” Inuyasha snarled, still trying to free himself from Sesshomaru’s tail…and failing.
“You fell asleep in the lake; I brought you back to the camp.” Sesshomaru muttered, stifling a yawn, that was the best sleep he had indulged in, in decades…..so why did it have to end so soon?
“And whose fault is that?! YOURS! If you would have stopped fucking touching me! I swear….I’m gonna kick your ass Sesshomaru!”
“Sesshomaru was touching you? While you were naked?” Miroku asked.
“Well….I…….he snuck up on me! And….and…..” Inuyasha stammered.
“It was necessary….or would you have preferred I leave you to the cramping?” Sesshomaru asked.
“Cramping?” Sango exclaimed.
“I…..oh fuck you Sesshomaru!” Inuyasha roared.
“…..Still as elegant and charming a speaker as ever Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru mused as he stood, uncurling his tail from himself and his sibling.
“About fucking time!” Inuyasha yelled as he sprang up onto his feet. “Why wouldn’t you let me go when I woke up before the sun came up!?”
“……”
“Don’ ;t ignore me!” Inuyasha growled.
“Hey! When did they get up! I wanted to get a picture!” Kagome suddenly said, as she came running up, so strange looking device in her hand.
“Just now…..” Miroku muttered.
“Damn….” Kagome grumbled.
“Well? Why wouldn’t you let me go! And what the hell did you do to make me fall asleep again!” Inuyasha continued, ignoring the rest of the group
“……..”
“I swear I‘m going to fuck you up Sesshomaru! I‘m going to jam Tessaiga right up your ass if you don’t answer me!” Inuyasha growled. Sesshomaru turned and began walking away. “HEY! Fucker! Don’t you walk away from me!” Inuyasha shouted as he began to chase after his brother.
“Hey! Don’t forget about me!” Shippo cried out as he raced after Inuyasha.
Miroku sighed as he turned to the others.
“We’d better hurry up and follow them if we don’t want to get left behind.”
Quickly the human members of the group gathered up their things and began to follow after the two Inu brothers.
“…..I still say it would have been a great picture.” Kagome muttered.
“I agree.” Sango said.
Inuyasha’s voice could be heard for miles around.
“God damn it! If you don’t answer me right now, I’m going to strangle you with that fucking fluffy thing!”
“…….”
Ooooh 230;.that was it….he was going to make Sesshomaru’s day a living hell from here on out.
Ok it’s a short chapter I know, and I apologize, but I’ve have recently had some serious drama pass through my life which has left me with a MAJOR case of writers block. I didn’t want to leave you all hanging, so I managed to whip this chapter up, I hope it’s not to disappointing, I hope to get to the meeting of the Lords in the next chapter and the finishing of Inuyasha’s bodily changes soon. But I’m not sure how long that will take, so I hope this will tide you all over for a little while. Thanks for reading everyone, you guys and your wonderful reviews mean the world to me.
On a side note I have been asked about the nesting, to make a long story short it comes from two of my parent’s dogs. Bruiser Brody and Smoke-man, basically Bruiser HAS to lay on someone when he sleeps and one day he just flopped on top of Smoke, who proceeded to grump and groan in his doggy way, but made no attempt to move, well anyway they then feel asleep, but they had all their Dog blankets around them and it looked like a big birds nest…..so there you have it!
Mysteriously Moi: Run on’s? Huh….I thought got all the comma’s where I need them….well obviously I missed a few. Yes I think Inuyasha with a tail would be rather cute. As for Koga and Miroku….well….I’m got a few ideas.
Inusoshi: Well I don’t know if he over reacted to the nesting then, but he did react to it haha.
midnight whispers: Oh it was just the typical religious style hate mail; I’m sure everyone who has written a yaoi has gotten one or two of them. What a coincidence it makes my day when I open my inbox and see I have a new review, so everyone’s happy I guess.
Cat Happy: Yeah for this story a dead Inu-Taisho is rather necessary.
szaugglaughs: Hey Szaug! I was wondering where you’d gone. I worked really hard on the last two chapters, and I so hope this one doesn’t bomb. Well Koga is coming back, but I’m not sure what’s going to happen, I tend to enjoy angst so you can probably expect a little bit more before its all said and done. The scene with Sess inside of Inu’s head was a thought that I had, had in mine for a while now, that chapter was the one I wanted to get to while I was writing all the others. I hope you enjoy this chapter like you did the others, as for my mail, meh I wasn’t upset by it, some people are just like that, they see something they don’t like and they go off, as I’ve said, I imagine I’m not the first, nor the last, to receive such mail. I left something special in the story for you; see if you can find it.
ginger75125: Don’t like my tail idea? Awww…and I thought it was such a good idea.
ladytokyo: Haha no sorry Daigon isn’t yoda, but stay tuned for more clues on him. Sesshomaru does have his work cut out for him, but he’s motivated now. I’m really not sure what to do with the girls but I’m not sure if Kagome will be around much longer. I like to add little touches to their way of life, because well….they aren’t human, so it gives all kinds of opportunities to do new things. I’d pretty much decided Nefrume was dead the moment I made her haha, sorry if her death wasn’t clear. Hope you enjoyed the morning after.
LadySess: Sess has got a LOT of leading Inuyasha around in his future, after all that’s kind of what older siblings are for.
Bibi11: Sesshomaru isn’t just another pretty face, there’s a damn good mind behind all of that, and he’s gonna have to be subtle if he is going to get Inuyasha to do anything he wants. Inuyasha really is confused and battered right now, so yeah Sesshomaru will kinda be on eggshells around him, the trick is, can the Ice Lord keep everything in check so that he doesn’t drive Inuyasha away? Because yeah, more verbal and maybe physical abuse is in his future.
Tai-san: More then potatoes eh?….Mmmmm potatoes….ahem Sessho is trying but its going to be a long road. Fortunately little Inu is just so open right now.
Hi: Writers block is punting me around the room, but I haven’t given up yet.
Pipsqueak: You don’t have to be good at writing reviews to do one, just say what you like, and what you don’t like.
Lady Yueh: Thank you so much for your praise. You seem to think along the same lines I do, because that’s exactly why I started this story in the first place. I can’t stand the submissive Inuyasha whose brain turns to goo the moment Sesshomaru touches, now admittedly some of those stories are very good, but its still not what I wanted to do, and your right, I’m really in no hurry for Inu to forgive Sesshomaru, and although I do intend for some lemony content in the future, I’m not looking to dump them into bed either. The Inu-Taisho death got me misty as well, and yes I to love Sess-Youki; he’s fun to play with. Inuyasha has been through some serious hell in his life and I don’t intend to ignore that, so I’m very glad you have enjoyed my story and I hope to keep you just as interested.
gen50: I myself enjoy a good cuddle, I felt like Nefrume’s actions would leave a lasting echo for a while, plus I wanted a cool down chapter. I find Miroku easier to write then some of the other characters, but yeah I think he’s a good person all around.
hyperactive pup: I’m a cliffy kinda guy, I like to leave with one good last sentence, even though I always growl at other people’s cliffys so I guess this is my revenge? Haha it’s not to torture you, but I do want to leave you wanting more. Kagome may be bitchy but I still think she’s not to extreme; she does seem to have major mood swings even in the manga to me though. Inuyasha is having a hard time, I mean he’s been told his disgusting and vile his whole life, it’d give anyone a complex you know? Yes Sesshomaru’s scrambling to get a foothold on mount Inuyasha; it’s not going to be easy either. Koga’s coming back, but who knows what he is going to do when he gets there.
star_struck: Hanyou eh? Well every story I’ve read seems to say its hanyo…so that’s what I went with. I have very little knowledge of Japanese. I know I’m not the best writer, but then again this is all kinda practice for me. I need a good editor really. I try to update as often as I can, I think I can at least get a once a month thing going, although I’d like to do more. Gollum? Nope, Daigon isn’t from Gollum, good guess though.
Once again thank you to everyone who had read, I hope this chapter is enjoyable for you all and I’m sorry it’s so short. I’ll try to do better, I just got so stuck and I didn’t want to make everyone wait, so I figured I’d just make one more chapter inside of one big one.
