Show Me Love

Thanks to those who have read my fic! Although the reviews haven't been many, I know people have been reading and I appreciate their support. Ya know, I've decided to add an epilogue to this fic. I blame my friend Sarah *glare*. Everyone else should thank her though. Don't worry, there will be a sequel. Please look out for it. It'll be called 'To Shed Light On Truth.'

Responses:

Yaoi-junkie: Sorry, hun. The answer isn't zero. Thanks for trying though, and WELCOME BACK!! *waves* Hi Nikky! You two shouldn't stay away for so long...

evilchild: Thanks for your review! And you're right! The answer is the letter 'E'! Simple, huh? I thought it would be harder than that...
Therefore, this chapter is dedicated to you. A surprise, lemony filled, fluffy chapter, just for you!

Shishio watched as his sister put on the finishing touches to her outfit. She wore a strapless deerskin dress with matching cuff bracelets. The bracelets had three strands of diamonds that linked to Sora's hair via her tie that kept her hair in a flowing ponytail. She had tiny white flowers covering her hair, her ankles, and her neck.

Sora caught her little brother staring as she prepared for her big day. "Like what you see?"

Shishio blushed. "You...look beautiful." It was Sora's turn to blush.

"Thank you, otouto-chan. So, how are things going between you and Aoji?" Shishio was caught off guard with that question.

"W-well, I...I love him, nee-chan." Sora stopped placing diamond drop earrings into her ears when she heard his answer.

"Really? Have you told Aoji this?"

Shishio nodded. He looked down at his feet. Sora took this as a bad sign.

"Does he...feel the same?"

Shishio nodded. "Actually, he's the one who told me first." Sora finished putting on her earrings and walked over to her brother and gave him a hug, one that he probably needed.

"I'm very happy for you, chama (AN: another new word!! means 'little brother'). I knew you would find love." Shishio hugged his sister back, but had a knot in his stomach.

'Am I really in love?'

//////////////////////////////

The ritual was held at night and the entire village was gathered in the common area, which was underneath a huge tent. Bright colors decorated the inside, candles were lit, an unidentified nuber of flowers were strewn about and many blankets were placed about the room for guests to sit. A medium sized golden pyre was in the middle of everything. Celestine was standing in front of the pyre, along with Sesshoumaru on his left. Kouga, Inuyasha, Shishio and Aoji were off to the sides but had a perfect view of the ritual.

Celestine rung a gong and the tent opening was opened and revealed Sora in all her beauty. Sesshoumaru, who opted to wear a simple light blue button-down shirt and tan khaki pants, was dumbfound.

"Sora...by the gods..." Sesshoumaru could barely catch his breath. It seemed to have left him. Sora approached her husband-to-be, who appeared to be lost in his own thoughts. Sora took his hand into hers, which knocked him out of his stupor.

"You took my breath away, princess. I felt like a boy going through puberty." Sesshoumaru stated. Sora blushed at the comment.

Sora giggled. "You have such a way with words."

"We have gathered for the joining of my daughter, Princess Sora, and her future husband, Sesshoumaru, for this very special occasion. When this marital ceremony completes, my daughter shall become the heiress to this tribe and her future husband shall rule along with her. Before vows are exchanged, the groom must complete one task. He must answer a riddle. If answered correctly, they shall be wed. If answered incorrectly, he will be denied the princess' hand."

"WHAT?!" Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Shishio exclaimed. The crowd looked towards the places where the outboursts came from.

"Yes, a riddle. You must prove your ability to think quickly, since you have only a minute to solve it. It will also display your intelligence, as the future heir must possess this if running a tribe." Celestine stated.

Sora squeezed her future-husband's hand in reassurance. Seshoumaru looked down towards her. "I'm sure you can do it, Maru-kun." Sesshoumaru gave her a firm nod and turned towards Celestine.

"Here is your riddle:

What is at:
The beginning of Earth,
The end of time,
The middle of the millenium,
Once a year,
And twice a decade?

You have one minute to answer."
Sesshoumaru scrunched up his eyebrows in concentration.
'I've heard this one before. The answer is really simple. But, what was it?' he thought to himself.
'Come on, Sesshoumaru.' Sora pleaded to herself.
'Is it life? Death? Geez, this is hard.' Inuyasha was deep in concentration, his face resembling his older brother's.
'I don't even know the answer. Good thing I wasn't asked any questions' Kouga thought, secretly entwining his hand with his husband's. Inuyasha looked at the corner of his eye and caught two sets of cerulean eyes gazing at him. He gave him a small smile and gently squeezed his hand.
'Is this how love should feel like? Should it feel...safe? Warm?' Shishio wasn't paying much attention to the ritual. He was still trying to understand these new feelings.
'How does Shishio truly feel? With his past...I can only guess that he has never experienced these feelings.' Aoji thought, looking at Shishio, who was obviously in deep thought and not paying attention to what was in front of him.
"You have thirty seconds." Celestine informed. The guests began to murmur amongst themselves.
'Not much time. The answer...what is it?' Sesshoumaru was running out of time.
"Twenty seconds."
'Maru...' Sora thought.
'For the head CEO of a huge marketing company, Sesshoumaru isn't looking too good.' Inuyasha thought, inwardly smirking to himself.
"Ten seconds, nine, eight..."
'Running out of time!'
"Seven, six, five..."
'Of course!' Sesshoumaru smirked. Sora recognized that smirk anywhere.
"Four, three-"
"The letter 'E.'" He finally answered, with two seconds to spare.
"That is..."
The crowd was on the edge of their seats. Celestine looked around with his eyes, scanning the crowd who eagerly awaited the verdict.
"Correct." The bride and groom let out their breaths they were holding in.
"Let us commence with the remaining ritual. Sesshoumaru, you have earned your prize." Celestine gave his soon-to-be son-in-law a welcoming smile.
The couple recited their vows while walking around the pyre, marked each other, and had a gold ribbon wrapped around their entwined hands.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. Consummate your marriage with a kiss." Sora and Sesshoumaru looked at each other and shared a short, but lingering kiss.
Aoji felt a hand pull him up out of his sitting position on the floor and found himself underneath the stars.
"Tell me, Aoji. How is love supposed to feel?" Shishio looked up into the piercing blue eyes of his love.
"Truthfully, I wouldn't know. I've never been in love before I met you." Aoji brushed a stray strand out of his face. He saw Shishio's eyes dart from side to side nervously.
"Then, how do you know you love me? How do you know it isn't some other feeling? Like lust?" Shishio's eyes were slowly becoming glassy. Aoji lead Shishio to his hut, which wasn't too far from the main tent. Aoji sat Shishio on the bed while he lit a few candles.
"I know it's not lust, Shishio." Aoji answered, still lighting a few more candles before going to sit next to his crimson-eyed lover.
"But how-" Shishio was silenced by fingers pressed against his lips.
"I can never stop thinking about you. When I open my eyes, I envision you. When I close them, you're there, gracing my dreams with your presence. I can barely think straight with you around. You...you create these emotions inside of me that I thought I could never possess." Shishio stared wide-eyed at Aoji, absorbing the new information.
"I feel...the same way. But...I can't..." Shishio lowered his head and looked off to the side. Aoji lifted his head with his index finger. Shishio still diverted his gaze.
"Look at me." The command was more pleading than authoritive. Shishio looked into the icy blue depths and couldn't hold back the tears that stung his eyes.
"I know that because of what that monster of a father did to you made you numb to these sensations. But you can't fight them. They're not going to harm you, and neither will I. I would never intentionally hurt you." Aoji wiped away some tears from his lover's face, but they were coming down in torrents. Shishio closed his eyes in frustration.
"It's so confusing. How am I supposed to know what love is? Or what it feels like? I know I love you, but..." Shishio was embraced by the strong arms of his love. Aoji knew how difficult it was for Shishio to acknowledge these new feelings.
"I understand what you're trying to say. Damnit, I wish that monster never touched you in such a way." Aoji stroked Shishio's thick locks and felt him relax a bit.
"Can you show me...what love is, Aoji?" Shishio asked barely above a whisper, but with his keen ears, Aoji heard the unforeseen request. He pulled back from his embrace to look at Shishio with amazement.
"Shishio...are you...but I don't-"
"I've never been with anyone...willingly. I want to feel what was taken from me." Shishio gave Aoji a weak smile. Aoji caressed his lover's face.
"...Alright. I will show you that love, it's spiritual and physical act, doesn't have to be painful. But under one condition."
"What is it?"
"You must promise to let me know if you ever feel uncomfortable, or if you feel pain. If so, I will stop. I don't want to scar you any further."
Shishio nodded. "I promise."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&LEMON BELOW!!!&&&&&&&&&&&&&&a mp;&&
Aoji slowly closed the gap between himself and Shishio. The kiss began innocent, but became more hungry and passionate. Aoji reached for Shishio's button but didn't go any further. Shishio broke the kiss and nodded his approval for Aoji to continue.
Aoji slowy unbuttoned the shirt and slid it down his shoulders with ease. Shishio placed an unsure hand on Aoji's exposed slightly tanned, well toned chest, since he wasn't wearing a shirt to begin with. He looked up at Aoji, as if asking permission togo further.
"Feel free to explore me. I belong to you." Shishio stroked his love's chest and abdomen. He closed his eyes and let his fingers memorize the tanned skin. He brushed over an excited nub and gently squeezed it. He received a soft moan in response. Shishio pulled back at the noise.
"I'm...I'm sorry. Did I...hurt you?" Shishio's voice was filled with worry.
"No, just the opposite." Aoji captured his lover's lips in a sensual kiss and laid themselves onto the bed, making sure not to starttle Shishio. Aoji rubbed his arousal against Shishio's and Shishio let out a long moan. Shishio lifted up his hips to get more contact. The action left them both breathless.
Shioshio admired the toned body above him. He traced every dip, curve, and outline of his love.
"Gods, your beautiful." Shishio said breathlessly. Aoji kissed his forehead.
"Funny, I say the same about you all the time." Shishio blushed at the comment.
'I feel so...protected. Like nothing can hurt me when I'm with him.' Shishio thought. He felt strong yet gentle hands near the rim of his pants. Shishio looked up into his love's eyes.
"Can I...go first? I mean...undress you?" Shishio's voice wavered with nervousness. Aoji smiled and nodded.
Shishio slipped his love's pants down to his thighs, then finally slipped them completely off his legs. He became aroused at seeing Aoji's hardened, dripping manhood. Aoji eased Shishio out of his pants and beheld the nude form of his lover. Shishio averted his gaze somewhere else, but Aoji held Shishio's eyes in his.
"Don't be ashamed, my broken angel. Your body is mesmerizing." Aoji gazed at the creamy body beneath him and ran his hand over the thin frame. Shishio leaned into each touch and caress his love bestowed upon him. His own manhood began to leak droplets of pre-cum.
'Should I be feeling like this? It's different than last time...' Shishio felt a shift in the bed and noticed that Aoji opened a nightstand drawer and pulled out a small bottle of oil.
"What's that for?" Shishio began to sit up. Aoji noticed his nervousness and went back to where his lover was.
"I need to prepare you. I don't want to injure you." Aoji stroked his cheek to calm him down. Shishio looked from the bottle to Aoji and nodded in approval.
Aoji took off the small cork and coated three fingers with the vanilla smelling substance. He placed the oil on the stand and aided Shishio into a laying position. He spread his legs and found the sensitive ring of muscle. He coated the outside with one slicked finger. He felt Shishio squirm and try to get closer to the feeling. Aoji inserted a slick finger into the waiting pucker. Shishio adjusted to the intruder and found himself moving along with the gentle rhythmic thrust of the slicked digit. Soon another was inserted, scissoring his tight passage. Shishio gripped the sheets at the sensations. The third was inserted and Aoji ran across a small bundle of nervous which caused Shishio's back to arch off the bed. He let out a deep, sensual moan.
"Aoji..." Shishio's body searched for the source of its pleasure as it was pulled away. Shishio opened his eyes and found Aoji covered his manhood with the oil. He positioned himself at his lover's entrance.
"Are you ready?"
Shishio gave a nod. "Yes." He was surprised in the steadyness of his own voice.
"Remember the promise."
"I will."
Aoji pressed against the tight ring and found his member being swallowed by Shishio's hungry body. Shishio felt Aoji fill him and wrapped his legs tightly around his love, burying his hands in the black and indigo highlighted locks.
'Its never felt like this before. I feel so...complete. Before I felt hollow.' Shishio allowed his body to adjust to the intrusion. Aoji didn't move until Shishio moved his hips up a little. Aoji pulled out slightly and quickly pushed back in. He felt himself hit the small bundle of nerves and Shishio's back once again arched.
'Gods, it never felt this good before. But...that wasn't love. That was...abusement.' A tear strolled down his cheek, which did not go unnoticed. Aoji stopped and his face held worry.
"Shishio, did I hurt you?" Aoji wiped away the stray tear. Shishio shook his head.
"This feels so...right. You fill me perfectly. Like this was meant to be."
"Love isn't about domination. It's about becoming a single entity. My love for you...can't be described. It runs so deep, Shishio."
Shishio let out a moan when his pleasure spot was stroked again. He leaned up to capture his love in a breathtaking kiss. Aoji continued with the slow and steady pace, but it didn't last long. Aoji's thrusts became quicker as he was near his climax. Shishio could no longer hold back and let his seed burst between their sweat covered bodies.
Aoji felt the muscles around him constrict and found it hard to continue thrusting. He attemted a few more thrusts before he emptied himself inside his lover, coating his insides with his hot fluids. Shishio held on for dear life as he felt his love climax within him. His insides became warm as his love coated him. Aoji couldn't hold himself up anymore and collapsed on top of Shishio.
"I love you, Aoji."
"And I you, Shishio. Now and for eternity." Aoji laid on top of his lover, not pulling himself out of him, and fell asleep in an exhausted heap. Shishio covered the two of them with a thin sheet and held his love close to his body.
"Thank you, for showing me what love can feel like." He whispered to Aoji, who was already asleep. He planted a kiss atop of his head and followed him off into slumber.
&&&&&&&&&&LEMON OVER!!!!!!!!!&&&&&&&&&&&
Kouga stood up from his seat and grabbed Inuyasha's hand in the process. He lead them towards the tent wall as everyone stood from their seats and began to dance. Kouga sat down and brought Inuyasha into his lap, wrapping secure arms around his husband. Kouga nuzzled and kissed the nape of Inuyasha's neck. The shadows illuminated by the firelight danced on their faces.
"Kouga, aren't you afraid of people seeing us like this?" Inuyasha asked as he snuggled into his embrace.
"I don't care what they think. You are my uda (AN: this word was mentioned in my one shot fic. It means 'husband'), as I am yours. I could care less. They won't tear us apart. Not ever." Kougaa felt a liquid drop onto his arm, then another. Kouga turned Inuyasha so he was face to face with him.
"Inuyasha? What's wrong?" Kouga wiped away the tear trail that was on his cheek.
"We've been through so much, Kouga. I'm still coping with...with my...m-my r-ra- Gods, I still can't admit it." Inuyasha was choking back sobs. Kouga rubbed his husbands back in soft circles.
"Inuyasha, you don't have to relive that."
"But, you helped get me through. You found me and helped me heal, emotionally and physically. And then this happened. That psycho bitch tried to take you away from me and kill you. I couldn't live, no, I wouldn't be able to live without you in my life if she had succeeded."
Kouga felt tears sting his eyes as he heard his husband. "Uda...I...I saw you, when they kidnapped me. You were this beautiful iridescent light. You told me to live for you, and I did. Inuyasha," Kouga cupped Inuyasha's face with his hand. "You my beacon of light. You're the reason I keep going. I would of gave up on living a long time ago if you hadn't of came into my life, uda."
"I guess we're each other's support beam, huh?" Inuyasha smiled, despite the tears.
"I believe so." Kouga closed the gap and his lips met his husband's. They shared a small yet emotional kiss. There were some stares from the crowd, but the couple paid it no mind. It wasn't a huge crowd that were staring, but enough to make Sora curious. Sora wanted to see what people were gawking at and were surprised to see Kouga and Inuyasha snuggled together near the tent wall.
"I don't think they would appreciate all of you being rude and interrupting their privacy." Sora stated to the crowd, irritation clear in her voice. The small crowd, of around six people, turned to look at their princess and scurried away. Sora came closer to the couple.
"Thanks, chuma. We appreciate it." Kouga stated. Inuyasha gave her a greatful smile.
"I'm not going to go through with the whole 'my-brother-is-gay-so-get-over-it-before-I-kill-you' act again. I'm just glad I can help, chamu." Sora turned to go look for her husband and continue what she was doing before the commotion.
'Everything is...perfect.' Inuyasha thought, curling into Kouga's protective embrace.
Kouga felt his husband cuddle deeper into his embrace. He was more than happy to provide the extra comfort. He rested his chin on the soft raven locks and inhaled the airy smell of his husband.
'My husband...that word seems so...perfect.'
