Chapter Seven
Inutashio was softly snoring, his arm draped across Tsunade's waist at such an angle he could cup her breast with his hand while he slept. Her warm body nestled closer to him, he could feel her heartbeat between them. The air around them hung heavy with the essence of passionate love making, lulling the Lord of the dog demons into peaceful slumber. That was until the phone rang.
The annoying ringing of the blasted object brought Inutashio awake with a start, mumbling he turned away from Tsunade. The clock by the bed read 3 am, so with a curse he yanked up the reciever. "Hello?"
"Inutashio Akimira?" Came a rumbling voice from the other end, sounding rather rapsy.
"Yes," Inutashio replied with a yawn, not recognizing the voice. "Do you know what time it is? this better be good."
"I'm sorry to call so later- er early, but I could stand it no more. I just had to hear your voice." The caller said with a soft chuckle that reverberated in the reciever.
"What the--" Inutashio turned to his back, fully awake and hoping he was somehow dreaming.
"Are you in bed?" The stranger asked, Inutashio heard the rustle of what sounded like sheets.
"What kinda stupid question is that? It's three o'clock in the damned morning! Of course I'm in bed!" The dog demon wondered why he was still listening to what was surely a prank call. Yet, somehow he got the idea that maybe there was more to it than that-- so he listened on.
"I am too." Cooed the strange man. ""I've been lying here thinking about you, Inutashio."
Inutashio made a noise, his stomach tightened at the thought of what was to come.
"Yeah, I was lying here thinking about your sword. " Moaned the deep male voice. "Have you touched it today, Inutashio?"
"Wha- huh?" Inutashio looked astonishingly like Inuyasha when he was confused, his nose twitched a little. "What are you talking about?"
"Your sword-hmmmm. It's long thick shaft, so enticing. I want to run my fingers along it, watch it swell and transform for me. I want to see it glistening in the moonlight, with virgin blood dripping from the tip.." the voice trailed there, leaving off with a shaky breath.
"What in the bloody Hell?" Inutashio demanded, flustered and flushing bright pink. "Who is this?"
"I speak of Sounga. I want it, Inutashio and I will have it."
"My sword? What the Hell? Who are you?" He fairly yelled.
"Kukukuku!" Chuckled the voise. "I am Naraku.... soon to be ruler of the universe!"
The phone clicked then, signaling that the caller had hung up. Inutashio felt a wash of cold fear. This couldn't be good. Naraku was looking for the jewel and seeking Sounga and world domination. He replaced the phone and turned back to wrap his arms around his new mate.
"Who was that?" She asked sleepily.
"Someone who needs to watch fewer He-man cartoons." Inutashio chuckled, licking the back of her neck gently.
Tsunade shifted a bit, "Inutashio, are you-- aroused.." Her soft hand came around to stroke his hard flesh. "Oh-- you are."
He rumbled in his chest a little, damning Naraku to a firey Hell for all eternity for possessing such a sexy voice and himself for being such a horn dog... "Well look what I'm laying beside.."
Tsunade laughed quietly into the pillow, she'd guessed it was a prank call of a sexual nature.
Inutashio did not go back to sleep. Even the soft jasmine scent of his mate did nothing to quell his worry. Naraku was obviously back on Earth, there were no phone's in the Feudal Era as far as he knew-- unless naraku had a Cingular cell phone... He had hoped the bastard was stuck on the other side of the well for good, but apparently it was opened again. He made a mental note to check into it tomorrow...
_______________________________________
The sunrise found Inutashio in a surly mood, he'd gotten up early to have coffee and read the paper-- which was code for him working out in his mind the problems of the upcoming day without interruption. It was then that Tsubaki entered the room, still in her white sating dressing gown, her hair hanging loose behind her.
If this had been an ordinary day, he might have thrown her onto the table and taken her like some uncouth animal, he thought. But somehow he wasn't in the mood to have sex-- that thought alarmed him. "Damn you, Naraku." He muttered.
"Damn him, indeed. What has the baka done now?" Tsubaki asked, nodding her thanks to Jaken who served her a small cup os espresso.
"He's calling the house now." Inutashio said with a groan, "Please let's not get into this now."
She glowered at him, "How can I help you if you won't talk to me?"
"I do not want or require your help, Tsubaki." He returned to his paper.
Anger slashed through her heart and she surged to her feet, "Who the Hell are you?"
"Who?" Inutashio looked around the kitchen. "What are you talking about?"
"Why are you hiding things from me? I am as much your mate as Tsunade is! In fact, moreso since she is the second mate! I will not take second place to a human woman turned demon, I am the Lady of the--"
"Inutashio!" Tsunade interuppted her rant. "How long do you intened to keep this insuffereable bitch here? She walked out on you! Sesshomru isn't getting better, he's getting worse! Haven't you noticed him sneaking in and out of the house at night? I'm telling you, Inutashio, something is WRONG with him!"
"How dare you accuse me of--" Tsubaki turned on the blonde woman, who did not fear her enough to suit her.
Inutashio growled and tuned out the women, there were more important things on his mind-- like Naraku. Sesshomaru stalked into the kitchen, looking tousled and as usual in a foul mood. Tsunade stopped her yelling at Sesshomaru's mother long enough to turn to the biy.
"Where the Hell were you last night?" She demanded.
He glared at her, "I owe you nothing!"
"Who do you think you are demanding anything from MY son?" Tsubaki snapped, steppeing between Sesshomaru and Tsunade.
"I have every right!" Retorted tsunade calmly.
"Inutashio," Tsbaki whirled to her husband. "Tell this trollp--"
"Silence!" He roared, then to his son spoke in a calmer tone. "Sesshomaru, where were you last night?"
Sesshomaru didn't answer right away, he took a swallow of orange juice and sighed, "I went out, father. I had something to attend."
Tsubaki looked as if she were about to speak but Inutashio silenced her with a glare before he prodded for more detail. "I'm afraid that's not an acceptable answer."
"I am sorry, father. But this is a matter that-- I cannot help or discuss." His voice was flat and devoid of any emotion.
Inuyasha had entered from the back door after going for a morning jog, and witnessed the whole thing. "Hey! How come he gets away with it? If I tried to pull a stunt like that I'd be grounded till--"
"And if you don't hush you will be!" Tsunade growled, reminding Inuyasha of his mother in the smallest way. "Just go to your room and get ready for school."
"I don't wanna go to school!" He protested. "It's not fair that Sesshomaru gets away with everything!"
Inutashio had sensed the seriousness in his son's voice, and was in no mood for Inuyasha's antics. he turned to the hanyou. "Go to school! Or face my wrath!"
Inuyasha blinked at his father, suddenly deciding it was best to obey him. "Yes, sir."
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, "If you wish to discuss this father I will discuss it with you and no one else, in your study." He turned to head up the stairs, calf length silver hair swaying with every step, and Inutashio follwed.
"This isn't over!" Tsunade glared at Tsubaki. "Now if you please, I would like breakfast in peace."

The morning was sunny, still a bit cool for late Spring and the breeze made the early blooming daffodils bob and dance along the sidewalk that led to school. Sephiroth was still new at the high school, but already had claimed the respect of the the teachers and students alike. Inuyasha walked with heavy feet, like he was heading to his doom-- he hated Monday's and this was why. The sound of running feet brought Inuyasha's head up, he knew that sound...
"Hey! Wait up!" Kouga passed Inuyasha and slammed to a stop six feet away. "I wanna walk with you."
Sephiroth snickered, "I think I'm just gonna ditch the morning classes-- you two have fun!"
Kouga waved to his retreating form, retreating across some random backyard and heading off intot he morning mist. Inuyasha wanted to chase after Sephiroth, he wasn't ready to be left alone with Kouga. He'd been trying to sort out the whole sex mess since it started...
"I was worieed when you didn't cal me after Friday night," Kouga said softly. "I had to stop myself from coming to your house-- I don't wanna crowd you, Inuyasha."
"Kouga--" the hnayou started, but Kouga stopped him.
"I wanted you to know that what happened wasn't just sex it was-- special." Kouga's voice was soft. "I won't push you--"
'Thanks." Came the muffled reply, suddenly Inuyasha seemed obsessed with his claws and was chewing on one feverently. "Kouga I dunno what's gonna happen-- i won't lie to you. There's this girl--"
Kouga's stomach fell, his heart twisting. "And you wanna fuck her?"
"I wanna try, I mean I have always been attracted to girls and I didn't know I could-- ya know, with a man?" Inuyasha sounded so wistful. Kouga sighed, he knew if he pushed the hanyou he'd only get a bad reaction that would kill his chances with him, still it didn't change his feelings....
___________________________
Kouga was a little older than Inuyasha, and had graduated last year in the accelerated program. He had taken a couple years off to try and figure out what it was that was that he wanted to spend the rest of his life doing. For now he sustained himself making a living at his cousin Gypsy's tattoo parlor. He had a natural artistic streak and he loved the work, he loved marking someone with a permanent marking that would last forever. It gave him such a power rush.
"Hey, Kouga!" She called across the shop, she was cleaning the tattoo equipment for the days business. "You look tired."
"Yeah, I know." He yawned. "I didn't sleep well last night."
"Does this have anything to do with Inuyasha?" She asked with a knowing grin. She knew well the feelings her cousin carried for the inu-male, and she had given him her blessing.
"You know me too well." He chuckled and sat on the waiting couch in the lobby part. "Hey! You gonna teach me to pierce today? You said you would."
Gypsy looked up, twisting the tiny top ball on her own belly ring. "Well I think we should start with you."
"You wanna pierce me?" Kouga quirked an eyebrow.
"Sure, why not?" Gypsy adjusted her shirt, "Then you'll know what it's like. Come on."
With a heavy sigh he followed her into the curtained room and watched as she layed out each tool and explained its usage. Suddenly the idea of having a needle jammed through any part of his body did not appeal to him, especially with that three inch, hollow projectile was in the hands of his unpredictable cousin. She stared at him with a studious look then nodded to herself, "Take off your shirt. I think your nipples are a good place to start."
His eyes slid open wider. "Are you off your damned rocker? You expect me to sit still and let you jab me with that thing?"
"I do, unless your scared. If you're scared I can understand." Her voice was taunting him, he growled low.
"Shut up and do it-- do the left one first to see if I like it." He yanked his shirt off over his head and grinned. She looked like a kid who'd been handed an ice cream cone, and he wasn't sure he liked it.
"Okay watch me-- ya gotta clamp it like so.." she worked the o-ring clamp around his nipple and clamped down hard.
Kouga snarled a bit at the pressure, but paid attention. Right up until the silver needle rammed its way through his flesh. The scent of blood, torn tissue, cartilage, and disinfectant filled the air suddenly. Gypsy closed her eyes and savored the smell for just a second. Kouga looked down at the surreal image of a needle pierced through his left nipple. The pain wasn't as bad as he'd thought, in fact, until she pressed a cork on the end and pulled the captive ring through, he barely had felt anything.
"..then press the clmaps down like so and there ya go!" She looked up with a wolfish grin. He'd missed some of what she said but he felt sure he could do this-- wella t least try. He didn't move to stop her when she went for the right one, leaving him pierced and decorated in what his cousin dubbed 'rock star' fashion.
"Well when do I get to try it?" He asked, rubbing lightly around his new additions.
"Next person that walks int he door and wants one." She announced, cleaning up the mess around them.

Inuyasha slammed the front door when he returned home from school, it had been a long day and his only wish was to have a bowl of ice cream and forget about it. But when he stepped into the kitchen, in his chair at the table, he found a child. Blinking at the dark haired little boy as if it might make him go away, he wondered what had happened. Did his father work this fast?
Sesshomaru returned then, a slight smile gracing his lips. "I see you met your nephew, Inuyasha."
"My what?" Inuyasha looked at the child again, watching as Sesshomaru picked him up. There was something familiar about the toddler, he rested his head against Sesshomaru's shoulder with such ease.
"My son. Bankotsu, this is your Uncle Inuyasha." Sesshoaru roused the little boy and pointed to his brother.
"Uncle Inu!" Squealed the child happily, then he stopped, his ears growing starry. "Puppy ears!!"
Inuyasha shuddered, "Yeah, Um hi kiddo."
He had no idea what to say or do, children were never his thing. His eyes searched Sesshomaru's for some kind of sign about wht was going and as if knowing what he wanted, Sesshomaru explained. "I was seeing this girl two years ago. When her father found out we were -- well fooling around-- he took her from this town. But she was pregnant. I have been looking for her since then and last night I found her, father helped me obtain custody of my son, and she is here as well."
"You actually fucked a chick?" Inuyasha asked in disbelief, thinking his brother too uptight for such things.
"Watch that language in front of my child!" Sesshomaru scolded, sounding a little too like his father for Inuyasha's liking. "I'll not have him acting like a foul mouthed brat like you."
Bankotsu busied himself with a long strand of Sesshomaru's hair, chewing it with determination until his father dislodged it from his fingers. "Why don't you go play with the kitten?"
Nodding, Bankotsu found himself on his feet, and ran to the living room.
"Who is she?" Inuyasha asked quietly.
"Kagura Tekenchi." Sesshomaru announced. "She will become my mate at the next full moon."
"And father?"
"He approves and is proud of me for stepping up to my responsibilities like a man." Sesshomaru had not spoken the words 'unlike you', but Inuyasha heard it loud and clear.
"Yeah, congratulations..." He shook his head to clear it and started for the stairs, unsure how to feel about this turn of events. Flicking on his laptop he sighed and looked at the flickering email alert, he had a message from Rayden.
Suddenly his mood improved...
Inutashio was softly snoring, his arm draped across Tsunade's waist at such an angle he could cup her breast with his hand while he slept.
