Chapter 14: We Planted Petunias, but They’re Coming up Roses
Inuyasha was frustrated, he had asked a simple, straightforward question and, instead of getting a simple, straightforward answer, he got a story. It reminded him a bit of talking to Myouga. Only, Myouga was small enough to squash when he was being annoying. Come to think of it, they were both probably about the same age. ‘Maybe it’s a generational thing,’ Inuyasha mused.
What was even more annoying was the look he was seeing on his older brother’s face out of the corner of his eye. It looked as if that bastard was actually getting answers from this. It wasn’t fair, it was his problem but his brother was the one who understood the explanation. Why did this demon have to talk in riddles anyway?
Inuyasha was no idiot, but between the lack of sleep, the stomach aches, the worrying, the injury from just yesterday, the approach of mating season, and his elder brother standing right next to him distracting his youki, he just was not feeling up to solving riddles at the moment.
So, he argued back and forth with the tree demon who refused to give him any more information and they both became very frustrated with one another. Bokusenou thought he had already given enough information, Inuyasha thought he should make the information clearer.
Their discussion, if one could call it that, was interrupted suddenly by his big brother asking something about him reverting. He was a bit confused as to what his brother was getting at until he heard the tree demon’s response. Suddenly, it hit him. They were saying that he would be able to bear pups!
He asked just to make sure and had it confirmed for him in no uncertain terms. He would be able to bear pups. Ignoring his brother’s questions about reversing the process, Inuyasha sunk into his own thoughts, one hand coming to his abdomen. He already knew instinctively that his body was too far gone to go back, not that he was even sure he wanted it to.
Actually, the more he thought about it, the more he liked the idea of being able to have pups. He had spent almost his whole life without family or affection. It was the way of the hanyou. But, if he were to have pups, they would stay with him. In the youkai world, the link between father and child could be broken, but the link between mother and child was inseparable. While he was not sure he enjoyed the idea of being called a ‘mother’, he liked the implications of it.
He wondered what his pups would look like. Would they have his ears? He knew they would have the gold eyes and white hair. They were dominant traits in his father’s line; Myouga had told him so when he had asked why his hair and eyes were a different color from everyone else’s. Apparently, as far back as they could trace, his father’s family had always had white hair and gold eyes.
He wondered if they would have their father’s markings and found himself hoping they would inherit them before he realized who he had automatically placed as their father. Although, he supposed it made sense. He had always been enamored with him. He was such a beautiful and powerful youkai. It was only natural that he would want him to be the father.
Besides, he was more than capable of taking care of the pups himself. All he would need from the father was to be impregnated. It wasn’t really the solution he had been hoping for, but it would do. He knew the father would never want to have any type of long term relationship with him, but Inuyasha didn’t mind. He had finally discovered what his youki was trying to tell him for decades, and he had learned to always listen to his youki. If this is what his youki wanted, he would see what he could do about complying.
Thinking of a question that had come up in wondering about what his children would look like, Inuyasha asked Bokusenou, “Have you ever met any three-quarters youkai?” Ignoring the look he was receiving from his brother, Inuyasha waited for the response.
“No, I have not,” the tree demon said, looking at Inuyasha with a soft look. “However, I have heard of ones in the past. It is said that they tend to favor the looks of the full youkai parent.”
Inuyasha nodded his head, looking thoughtful. So they would most likely have their father’s markings. That was good. Maybe they would have his ears too and not have any problem with getting accepted as being full youkai. That would be even better.
Seeming to follow where Inuyasha’s train of thought was going, Bokusenou said, “They will most likely appear to be full youkai, especially with such strong blood from their father flowing through their veins. They will indeed be beautiful pups. You will have to introduce me to them.”
Inuyasha looked up in shock. He had not told the tree demon who his pups’ father was going to be. “So you know who I intend to choose?” he asked, warily.
Bokusenou smiled. “Of course I do. There is no other your body would have considered this change for.”
Inuyasha huffed. “I didn’t do it for HIM. If anything, I did it for myself.”
“Why do you say that? Don’t you want to make him happy?”
“I am incapable of doing such a thing.”
Bokusenou gave him a calculating look, “I think you might be surprised. He has been waiting a long time for someone to make him happy. I would think you would fit the bill perfectly.”
Inuyasha raised a brow at him, “Are you sure we are talking about the same demon? I don’t think he could ever be happy no matter what anyone did.”
“Then why do you want him? If he could never be happy with you, why do you not wish him peace with another?”
Inuyasha felt his blood boil at the thought. “No other may have him. He is MINE. He has always been mine and will always be mine.”
He heard a voice behind him suddenly enter the conversation with what seemed to be barely concealed violence in the tone. “Who is this demon you intend to be the father of your pups?”
Inuyasha almost hit himself in the head. Here he was discussing the father of his future children like he was some woman gossiping and he had completely forgotten about his elder brother standing right behind him, listening to the entire conversation.
A growl brought him back to the present. He now felt the elegant claws on his brother’s hand around his neck as he was raised from the ground. It reminded him of when he had first met his brother. Strangely, he was not overly concerned.
Again, he heard the demand. “Who do you intend to be the father of your pups?!”
He knew intellectually that he was in danger, but his youki had taken over control momentarily. His youki felt no danger. It was only all too pleased to be basking the presence of its intended mate. Knowing that youkai mating tended to be a little on the violent side, he was not overly surprised that his youki was seeing this as some bizarre form of foreplay.
He wondered why he had almost no resistance to Sesshoumaru now when only yesterday he had been able to fight him. It didn’t make much sense to him. He decided to ask as he heard Bokusenou demand Sesshoumaru release him. He fell to the ground and absentmindedly rubbed his throat.
While he was rubbing feeling back into his neck, Bokusenou addressed him. “I will not be able to stop him a second time. I believe you should tell him who your intended is.”
Inuyasha was once again indignant. “Why should I? He just tried to kill me!” He mused that it must have been the influence of his brother touching him that allowed his youki to take control and made a mental note not to let his brother touch him for a while.
Bokusenou sighed, “Inuyasha, look at your brother. He is going to transform out of a jealous rage if you do not allay his fears now.”
This did not make any sense to Inuyasha, his elder brother was not jealous of anything, especially not for a half-demon like him. Why would he care about who Inuyasha’s intended was. Still, he turned to look at his older brother. He could see the eyes flashing to red and back again. ‘So, the old tree was telling the truth.’
Feeling the pull of his blood to sooth his intended mate, Inuyasha put his own misgivings aside and went with his instincts. Standing, he reached out a hand towards his elder brother. His only response was a growl.
Knowing that if he touched his brother right now, he would most likely lose his hand, he held the hand where it was and spoke softly to Sesshoumaru as one would when calming a wild animal. “Sesshoumaru, brother, calm down.
“You have nothing to fear. No one is taking me from you. I am yours and no one else’s.” Inuyasha could see the red tint beginning to fade completely from his brother’s eyes and began to move his hand closer.
This time, there was no growl and Inuyasha allowed his hand to brush lightly through his intended’s hair. He continued to whisper soothing words to his older brother and could feel the anger leaving Sesshoumaru’s body entirely. He gently pulled the youkai towards him and his brother came willingly.
He was feeling quite at peace, slowly running his fingers through his beloved’s hair, when he heard Bokusenou’s voice again. “I knew you could make him happy. Look at him, Inuyasha. Have you ever seen him so content? I have not.”
Indeed, Sesshoumaru was practically purring in his arms. “He does look rather at peace, now that you mention it.”
“Mmm,” the tree demon said in agreement. “He has been looking for his mate for a long time. It has been causing him no end of trouble.”
Despite himself, Inuyasha became curious. “Why has it been causing him trouble? He has had hundreds of youkai to choose from. If he wanted a mate that badly, why didn’t he just choose one of them?”
“You know, your father wondered the same thing. It is Sesshoumaru’s story to tell, but I will tell you the same thing I told your father. Sometimes it can be very difficult to find one’s mate. While your blood may know who your mate is, it is up to your mind to listen to the message. It is possible to ignore your intended mate when the youkai is standing right in front of you if you are not open to the possibility that you might be looking at your mate.
“You know your elder brother, perhaps better than I. Would he have been open to the possibility of just anyone being his mate?”
Without even considering it, Inuyasha answered, “No.”
“This is why he has had such a difficult time. He cannot intellectually accept just anyone as his mate, so, he has not been looking for his mate with his instincts. He has been looking for his mate logically.
“Your father tried to warn him against this. I, myself, tried to warn him against it. He decided not to listen to either of us. He is, after all, still a very young youkai and the young are prone to mistakes.”
“OK. I get that, but why is he being so docile for me now? It’s like he doesn’t even realize we’re talking about him.”
“He has denied what his youki has wanted for so long.” Noting the confused look on Inuyasha’s face, he continued. “Most likely, he always knew that you were the one he was supposed to mate but he refused to listen to what his instincts were trying to tell him.”
“Because I’m a half-breed,” Inuyasha said, his head lowered.
Bokusenou looked shocked. “No. Why would you think that?”
Inuyasha shrugged. “I’m just a lowly half-breed. A stain on our father’s name. A complete disgrace to all and should have been killed at birth.”
It was then that he felt the fangs on the back of his neck.
* * * * *
Oh, no. Whose fangs are they? LOL. I know, Sesshoumaru seems out of character. He will continue to do so until I get the explanation in the next chapter out. Have faith.
As always, thanks for reading and/or reviewing. They both make me smile.
