"Alright, you mangy mutt!" Inuyasha let out a surprised yelp as he was taken off his feet in a tackle the moment he was back in his bedroom. Kouga leapt up and pointed an accusatory finger at him. "I didn't say anything cause that brother of yours woulda strung me up by my entrails, but YOU are gonna tell me what the hell happened, and don't even TRY to play dumb with me!"

"If I played smart, you wouldn't be able to follow, ya scrawny wolf!" Inuyasha scrambled to his feet and gave a little growl in Kouga's direction. He hopped out of the way when Kouga lashed at him and then reversed direction, delivering a sharp open-handed slap to the wolf's face. "Hah!"

"Why you bitch!..." Kouga growled and lunged forward, arms wide to catch the hanyou around the waist. Inuyasha went flying backwards, although this time he hit the bed. The two of them tumbled and ended up smacking hard against the wall in a tangled pile.

Kouga yelped when Inuyasha's fingers snagged his tail as he tried to retreat. "HEY! I don't go around tryin' to pull your ears off, watch the tail!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he righted himself, debating about the tail in his hand. He decided to be merciful and let it go, allowing Kouga to sit up properly too. They both sat with legs folded beneath them, facing each other. Inuyasha was unable to keep a wide grin from his face. "You don't know what I stumbled into, wolf..."

"I'm hoping you intend to tell me," Kouga mumbled, making a much larger production than necessary of caring for his 'poor tail'.

"Y'know how we were pretty damn sure there was somethin' goin' on with Sessh and my father?"

"Shit, you walked in on them?! And lived?!" Kouga's eyes widened.

Inuyasha snickered. "Didn't really mean to...I told Kagome I'd check in and make sure they didn't kill each other by dinnertime. And I didn't figure I'd be interrupting anything too vital since they were in the throne room, which is pretty public. Heh. So I walk in and find Sessh gettin' nailed. I just...I couldn't get over the sight of it. You know and I know that I've always thought he was fucking gorgeous..."

"And he is. Go on."

"But I have a real hard time picturing him being willfully submissive."

Kouga thought about it. True, there was the grudging display of token submission at breakfast that day, or on rare other occasions, but....that wasn't near the same. "Like...REALLY...submissive? Sesshoumaru?"

"Like a wanton bitch in heat, I promise. Not somethin' I was meant to see. It was funny, in some ways. Not the way he looked, that was fuckin' hot. But I meant the fact that...his brain was gone. He was entirely fried. He didn't even know I was there until I was right in front of him."

"Your old man's that good, eh? What the hell possessed you to risk your neck goin' over there?""Believe me, I'm not as stupid as you like to think I am. I was gonna make good my escape but my father had a bit more of his wits about him, it would seem. Instead of like...killing me with his eyes or even getting pissed, he invited me to come play."

"No shit? And you, ya damn pervert, that's why I smell Sesshoumaru...and you...all over you."

"Me, the pervert? Hardly."

"Bullshit, the monk rubbed off on you. Maybe in more ways than one, who knows how you two entertained yourselves when you'd leave my den and go home..."

Inuyasha growled. "Miroku and I never did anythi--...yeah. We never did anything, fleabait!"

Kouga arched an eyebrow. "Somehow, your hesitance and need to correct yourself says otherwise."

"The fucker kissed me and ... he's good at it. Because of some stupid game the girls made us play."

Kouga snickered. "I see. He better than I am?""Hate to break it to ya, but yeah."

Kouga looked offended, his tail starting to bristle. "Oh, is that what you think, dog-face?"

"Maybe it is. What, don't like a human horning in on your territory?"

Kouga paused, not sure what to do and waging a brief internal war. "Keh, thats one human thats off-limits anyway..."

Inuyasha scowled at Kouga's abrupt indecision before lunging forward, flattening the surprised wolf on his back and pinning him down. He had a weight advantage and the advantage of surprise, so Kouga was officially stuck no matter how he squirmed.

"Get off me, mutt!"

"Oh shut up. I've been thinkin' about a lot of shit lately, now that I've had time to think without constantly having to watch my back and everyone else's. For the better part of four years we've had some sort of...fuck, I don't know what to call what we've had."Kouga squirmed uneasily for a moment before stilling - Inuyasha had his full attention now.

"I know we were apart as much as we weren't, but I still thought about you a lot. And I left the monk to fend for himself and come see you a lot more than was really necessary to...y'know, check up on you and shit. But let's be fuckin' honest. We both know it was for more than that."
Kouga swallowed uneasily. He wasn't sure if he did or didn't like where this was going. This was something he had studiously tried to ignore. "Yasha, don't...don't complicate things. Just shut up and it'll be okay...." he mumbled finally.

Inuyasha's ears flattened and he made absolutely no move to stop or let Kouga up. "No, I'm not gonna just accept things like they are anymore. Or am I really just a fuckbuddy for you? Answer me, wolf...!"

Kouga scowled. "It's not like that and you know it."

"Then what IS it like? What am I to you, damn it?"

The wolf prince was silent for a long moment before giving Inuyasha a somewhat pleading look. The look vaporized, however, when he was the victim of an angry and none-too-gentle kiss. He felt his lip split when it was crushed against a fang and the tiny rush of blood served to make his head swim, especially when he nipped at Inuyasha in retaliation and the blood was no longer just his own.

As abruptly as it started, Inuyasha pulled his head back, his voice rough but firm. "I'm tired of waiting on you to figure out what it is you want, wolf."

Kouga's eyes widened. Was the hanyou actually going to leave him? Not that they were entirely together, but...

"I'm deciding for you. I've gotten over my fears of commitment and grown up a lot doing what I've had to do lately. So fuck it. I'm claiming you as mine. I want you for my mate. Don't expect me to say it twice, but that's how it is."

Kouga stared. "But you...you can't just...hey, why do YOU get to claim ME?!"

"Because I'm usually on top and you're my bitch, that's why. And you haven't done anything but try to hide our relationship."

"The elders--"

"Will be happy as can be about it, if you put the right spin on it. I've learned a few things from Sessh and my old man while I've been here. Half this fuckin' political game is in how you present it, not what you are actually presenting. So it's like this. Your elders will have a bitch fit if you just tell em you're gonna mate someone outside of the pack, especially a male. They'll whine about you not givin' em cubs and that you're abandoning your duties and blah blah blah. But it's really like this. Leadership of your wolf pack isn't hereditary. You could have a million cubs and it wouldn't mean any one of them would be the leader after you."

"Yeah...I know all this. It's exactly the problem, they'll be PISSED tha--""Shut up. I'm not done. Instead of presenting it THAT way, you have to present it properly, ya see. You aren't JUST mating someone outside of the pack. You're mating and becoming family to the House of the Inu no Taisho. I'll do whatever stupid fucking ceremony they think is necessary and I'm sure my father will help."

Kouga's eyes lit up. "Shit...didn't think about that..."

"I wonder sometimes if you think at all," the hanyou responded with a smirk before leaning down and giving his wolf a much more thorough kiss. "I do...have to tell ya, though..." he finally murmured.

"Yeah? You talk a bit too damn much..."

"Why, got a tent in your skirt and it just won't go away?"

"It's not a skirt, asshole..."

"Oh, shut up. I just...I want to make sure you know that I probably still will mess around a bit at least as far as Sessh is concerned, should the situation present itself."

Kouga snorted. "I expect nothing less. Just invite me once in a while."

Inuyasha smirked. "Eh, my brother DOES like that damn fluffy thing he carts around...he'd probably like your tail too."

"Hah, this means he's my brother too now..."

Inuyasha snickered. "It'll be fun telling him. Oh. Er...keep your trap shut about him and the old man, though. I know you don't care any more than I do but a lot of people would and we don't need to cause em any trouble."

"Alright, alright. Will you shut up and kiss me now?"

Inuyasha snickered before leaning in to comply, though a mere kiss was not all he had on his mind.

Miroku smiled fondly at the tiny, sleeping form in his arms. Sairex's daughter was adorable. Cute little pointy ears, tiny little claws, and adorable little downy black wings. She had black hair and, on the rare occasion the monk could coax her into opening them, bright yellow eyes just like her father.

"You know, I never expected that my first child wouldn't actually be my own."

The sleepy baby shifted ever so slightly but otherwise gave him no response - not that he was expecting one, really.

"But...I will love you anyway, just as I love your father. If you'll have me, I'll happily be your other parent as long as I live." Miroku waited for a moment before breaking into a smile. "No protests? Alright, then, I'll take it as your approval. Your father will be up to see you as soon as he's better...which had best be soon. I get lonely by myself, now that I'm used to having people around. I end up doing silly things, like holding conversations with adorable young ladies such as yourself."

Miroku couldn't help but smile. He had always loved children, and this warm and sleepy little life in his arms...well, it may as well have been his own. He couldn't have loved her any more. It was only with extreme reluctance but a knowledge that exhaustion would knock him out if he didn't tend it that he put the baby back in her crib and made his way to his own room to get some much-needed sleep.
