InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love From the Ashes ❯ Licking Your Wounds or His ( Chapter 19 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Disclaimer: All Inuyasha characters belong not to me, but to Rumiko Takahashi and related companies. No money is being made off of this fic. Yuji is belonging to me.

(A/N): So~ I'm estimating that this fic will be about 24-25 chapters, so it's getting there.
A NOTE: Try and not get freaked out at the first part of this chapter, I do NOT write incest, but I do have a habit of sprinkling in strange 'dog like' behaviors into the canine youkai's actions. Probably because alot of the fics I read I feel make them a bit too human. There, I hope people actually read the the AN.
-- Hirumakage, you asked about Yuji and Sango, maybe this will give you an idea.
-- sesshy's numba1 gurl, the battle is a ways off, hope you'll stick around for it.






Inuyasha watches with interest as Sesshoumaru kneels leaning over him, he didn't know what to feel. Though his self-conscious recognized what his brother was doing his brain did not. His eyes follow as Sesshoumaru sniffs at his wounds, for infection? His eyes widen as a warm and wet tongue presses against the wound just across his shoulder, he was . . . he was . . . cleaning his wounds. Sesshoumaru's hands kept him still as he squirmed a bit, one hand on his uninjured shoulder one on the opposite bicep. The ministrations did not hurt--in fact they seemed to sooth the angry marks, but his human side won and made him uncomfortable even though his youkai side seemed calmed. The clashing the feeling made his skin twitch.
"why exactly are you doing this?" Sesshoumaru does not pause in his task, moving to a wound a bit higher. It ran across his cheek, from just below the bridge of his nose to the bottom of his jaw. Inuyasha's face is red.
"what does it seem brother?" Inuyasha doesn't answer, of course the answer was obvious, but his mouth asked without his brains consent anyway.
"Ok, I get the practical--gah!" his skin goes from twitch to jump as Sesshoumaru's tongue dips into the wound, he regains composure quickly noting the smirk on the taiyoukai's face as he continues. "Why are you cleaning my wounds" he stares intently at the fine of the youkai's ear, his face not visible at the moment "--your unworthy bastard hanyou brother's wounds, that you inflicted"
"In sparring, not an actual fight, and you cannot reach these yourself-- not properly" Sesshoumaru cuts the hanyou off, actually pausing this time to look up. Inuyasha is watching him. His eyes show skepticism and a bit of wariness over the well hidden look asking for some sort of reassurance-- of acceptance. Sesshoumaru sighs.
"No one of our fathers blood is unworthy of anything" the youkai lord resist the urge to look away from the intense look given at his statement. "you are not unworthy Inuyasha, just insufferable". Sesshoumaru had no problem telling his brother this, but would not tell him that he had called him those things because of jealousy.

Inuyasha's mouth tugs at the corners with the making of a smile, he suppressed it
"you hate me" he watches as Sesshoumaru sits back fully on his heels
"I do not" the older male reaches up to stroke the furry something or the other wrapped around his form, as old habits die hard. "Inuyasha" his voice sounds tired. "I do not hate you" An almost inaudiable sigh, almost suffering. "When I cast you out I was young and ignorant, and resentful of you. I blamed you for father's death even though it had been his choice and his actions that lead him to it" Inuyasha listens intently to the confession, his chest suddenly tight. "When I finally realized I had made a mistake in hating you and abandoning my duties as your brother I was unwilling to admit it. I still had my stubborn pride, it held me from mending our relationship. Eventually I settled on watching over you from afar, challenging you to check up on you and make sure you remained strong-- giving you advice in the form of insults. That is until now-- this is lain out for you now, and I wish to put this false rivalry to a stop . . . I know you don't hate me Inuyasha"
"ok . . ." his chest still tight, but not in the same suffocating way as before.
"I want you, your pack as well, to come with me back to the western lands, stay with me at father's estate at least during this time" Sesshoumaru's mask seems to fall back into place and for a second Inuyasha feels cut off "--My army is there, and it's barriers are strong and many, it is the safest place to prepare"
Inuyasha shakes his head tugging on a forelock "I figured you'd ask that" Inuyasha allows a smile "My pack and I will accompany you to our lands" Sesshoumaru seems to accept this and nods
"now that is settles" A clawed hand taps Inuyasha's uninjured shoulder "turn over, the wound on your back is full of grime-- you've fallen on it more than once"
"ha! you've knocked me on it!"
"hnm, perhaps"
"feh!"

"I'm not a porcelain doll! Hit me!" Yuji narrowly blocks a kick to the head, he takes a moment to admire the woman's flexability for only a second before he has to doge the other foot. He's forced to let go and she lands on all fours before recovering quickly and coming at him again. He can't block this time as she fakes a blow and hits him straight in the gut, avoiding vital points
"My mother always told me to avoid hitting women if I could" he continues to block, his shock evident when one of her hits sends him skidding backwards.
"Well I say you can't! I cannot improve if you coddle me!"

Sango shakes her hand, the youkai was made of more muscle than it seemed, it was beginning to hurt when she hit him. She pulls out her short sword
"you come at me" he shakes his head, his long braid whipping from left to right. She huffs, this youkai was infuriating. As much as she hated being treated as if she was 'too strong' to be feminine, it was worst to be treated as if she was 'too weak'
"I will spar with Miroku then! He is not afraid to hit me, he is aware that I will not break!"
"If that is best" he agrees, Sango scowls
"stupid fox"
"you shouldn't scowl so, you're much too pretty for that"
Sango's face shifts in an instant becoming flustered "g--go, train Shippo!"
Yuji grins a bit, bowing "of course Sango-san" he makes his way out of the clearing. As soon as he is gone Sango presses her hands to her cheeks, feeling the heat there, her face was bright red
"damned fox, he's as bad as the monk!"
