don’t own Inuyasha. And, let it be said, that I love Sesshomaru as much as the next girl (yep, he’s definitely hot), and I profoundly apologize for what I am about to do, but the idea struck me as funny in this context, so I’m goin’ with it. All death threats may be sent via review or email. I will probably go into hiding, but most likely continue writing.
“So, Shippo,” Kagome started hesitantly, “what did you mean about Sesshomaru’s oddity?” Inuyasha was taking a drink when she asked this, and did a fabulous spit-take, completely soaking Miroku in the process.
“Thanks a lot, Inuyasha.”, he said dryly, while trying to shake the water from his clothes, all the while sporting a disgusted look on his face.
“*snort* Don’t mention it.”, Inuyasha replied between giggles.
Kagome rolled her eyes and looked back to Shippo expectantly. Shippo sighed, and thought for a moment about how to explain the “situation” delicately.
“Well…Sesshomaru…he…uh…& #8221;
“Say one more word fox, and you’re kits shall be without a father.”
The entire group jumped in surprise, to find Sesshomaru strolling out of the trees glaring viciously at the fox demon.
“Sesshomaru! Hey buddy! How’s it goin’?” Shippo walked up to the stoic dog-lord and clapped him on the shoulder affectionately.
Sesshomaru turned to Shippo and glared daggers at him. “Just what exactly do you hope to accomplish by telling the half-breed and his worthless humans this Sesshomaru’s secrets.”
Shippo sighed, and spoke to him in a gentle tone, “I have already informed your brother of the reasons for my actions.” Sesshomaru’s eyes went wide in shock, and he turned to stare at Inuyasha with a look of fearful horror on his face. “Sess…it’s okay.” Shippo started rubbing the demon lords back in soothing circles. Sesshomaru looked as if he was about to go into panic mode. Shippo continued to reassure him, “Sess, he doesn’t care…he doesn’t think less of you…I’m you’re best friend…you trust me, right?”
Sesshomaru looked at him with big puppy-dog eyes and a trembling lower lip, then suddenly grabbed the fox demon in a full body hug and burst into a noisy fit of tears.
Kagome, Miroku, and Sango stared in drop-jawed shock at the scene. Shippo was holding Sesshomaru, still stroking his back and hair, and murmuring comforting words to the distraught youkai.
Sesshomaru tearfully looked up at the group of travelers, “Please, you can’t tell anybody about this…they’ll think I’m weak…they’ll try to take my home from me…”
Then, to everyone’s surprise Inuyasha walked up to his half-brother and embraced him too, which brought about a new batch of tears from the surprisingly effeminate dog-demon.
Kagome cleared her throat, “hem, hem ‘Scuse me, but…what the hell is going on?”
The three looked at her for a moment, then Sesshomaru smacked Shippo on the shoulder with a floppy hand. “You said you told them!”, he accused in a tone that was at least a full octave higher than his normal speaking voice.
“Actually, Sess, I have already told Inuyasha, and, if you will recall, I was just about to tell them when you interrupted us.”, Shippo replied calmly. Sesshomaru pouted at his best friend, then sighed, “Very well, Popo, tell them if you must.”, before delicately lowering himself to the ground, and flinging his perfect hair back over his shoulder.
Shippo grinned at the rest of the group, then said, “Do I really need to explain?” Sesshomaru snorted and rolled his eyes.
Miroku, still staring at the demon lord in bug-eyed horror burst out “YOU MEAN HE’S GAY?!?”
At this, Sesshomaru daintily covered his mouth and actually started giggling like a little girl. “Aw come on, monkey-poo, don’t say it that way.”, he cooed at the stunned houshi while batting his eyelashes. At this Miroku did a fabulous impression of a fish out of water, while trying to think of a tactful way to eat his words, and Sango had to stifle an amused giggle.
Kagome, seeming to come out of her stupor, ran over to sit next to the demon lord, and stared at him pensively for a few moments before she spoke. “How do you get you’re hair to be so manageable?” Sesshomaru beamed at her, “Well…”
Shippo crossed his arms and huffed ‘Aw shit…here we go…’
Chapter 34 - Enter the lord of the west
The group had been traveling for about two days before they reached Sesshomaru’s territory in the West. The group stopped in a sunny clearing for their midday meal, and were sitting companionably around their camp fire.“So, Shippo,” Kagome started hesitantly, “what did you mean about Sesshomaru’s oddity?” Inuyasha was taking a drink when she asked this, and did a fabulous spit-take, completely soaking Miroku in the process.
“Thanks a lot, Inuyasha.”, he said dryly, while trying to shake the water from his clothes, all the while sporting a disgusted look on his face.
