Chapter 14: Healing with time spent together

 

The nurse inserted the IV into InuYasha's hand, delivering nutrients and fighting infectious sicknesses that could render InuYasha down and out. However a full demon wouldn't have such a big problem should the wounds be less, and not as many. She had told them to keep it in. It also helped stabilize him.

 

“Just keep this with you as you're in the park, don't be out too long all right? He gets a bath at 3, you'll have 2 hours,” she said as she lifted him into the wheelchair with surprising strength. “Try not to let him get too much sun; he'll get burnt more easily without his hair on his head to give him more protection.”

 

Sesshomaru nodded. He knew how to care for his mate, he wasn't exactly stupid.

 

“Also, try not to do too much moving with your upper body, those back wounds looked a bit deep.” She secured the silver IV pole to a latch on the side of the chair with wheels, checking again to make sure everything was set to go. “Do you know how to work a wheel chair?” she asked skeptical from the looks of the demon that gave her the suspicion that he had no idea what she was talking about what so ever.

 

“Push it?” he said obviously as he went over to the bars on the back of the chair.

 

“Yes. The brakes are right here,” she said as she pointed out a lever on each side of the wheel chair. “Just pull these up to go, and to brake while mobile or he'll fall out.”

 

He nodded in understanding. “I got it.”

 

“Be careful now,” she smiled as she watched Sesshomaru wheel his brother out of the open doored room and out into the hallway, towards the front doors where they passed the waiting room where the others were.

 

They looked up from their reading materials to Sesshomaru and InuYasha's presence. “We're just going over to the park where we may talk, without disturbances. I'll be back with him soon, and then you can talk with him,” the eldest son said stopping briefly. “I'm sorry I am hogging him for myself,” he added seeing their faces that were anxious with needing to know what was going on.

 

InuTaisho shook his head. “Don't be, we can wait while you two talk. We have all the time in the world,” he spoke as he sat down again and folded his arms across his chest. “If you have need of me call, and I'll hear.”

 

Only demons could really understand the power within the mates bonding. All the time they had together before a full mating ritual was just as important as the bond after. It would assure both of their well beings as well as the emotional part that followed. But even so, every second was precious. No human bond could ever compare with a demon's. Humans could never understand the ritual or the bond of love in a demon's eyes. Their love was but a far off shadow. Sesshomaru was grateful for having such a father with him. He was glad that his father survived the battle with Takemaru who had tried to murder InuYasha's mother. He had barely escaped with his life as he shifted from a demon to the legendary dog demon everyone feared throughout the land. He had almost sacrificed his own life for a human mate. This was extremity absurd to Sesshomaru. It was the strength of a demon's bond. That's all he understood, and he accepted it.

 

Sesshomaru walked out of the hospital, pushing InuYasha; InuYasha's hand covered his eye against the bright sunlight that pierced the shaded safety of the hospital, as his brother paused to get a good breath of what he was just exposed to the new world; he let InuYasha take it all in with a small gasp as he unveiled his eyes.

 

Blacktop roads, metal objects on wheels running down the blacktop roads, things flying in the air. Lights that magically switched to green, yellow and red; the cars would stop as if it possessed them as it turned to a red color. There were large buildings that climbed to the heavens. They had flashing signs on them that read many things. It was all so overwhelming to take in. What year was it? Was this going to be their future as they grew older with time?

 

He had already seen so much already within the healing hospital place, what else was there that they had not seen?

 

“You have seen nothing yet little brother, there are so many things that you have not seen, felt or tasted. I cannot wait till I take you out in some of the places they have to eat here!” Sesshomaru said as he watched his brother in fascination as he took it all in.

 

His mate watched him overhead as he took in a breath of the dirty air around them and scrunching his nose up. “I know it smells dreadful, but we'll live. It's not so bad after you get used to it. It's all from the cars- those metal box things on wheels,” he explained, noticing the confusion that played on InuYasha's scared face. “It's a bad thing how they allowed the world to go to disgusting measures, but the technology is fascinating.” It was what saved his InuYasha.

 

They made their way across the street where the park was located. It'd be nice to have some actual privacy and some better, cleaner air.

 

InuYasha had fallen silent; Sesshomaru did not know what exactly his little lover had been thinking but he somehow figured it had something to do with Naraku.

 

Why would it not?

 

He stared down at the back of his brother's bald head. His ears had drooped in sad thoughts. “Whatever it is that you are thinking, little brother, don't get me wrong on my not loving you. Don't let him get the better of you. You're far stronger than he is,” he said as he pushed the wheelchair along down a blacktop walk way. “He made a mistake on creating you into a full demon. One I do not regret his doing, though I can't say that I like it or that of me hating it. I see you as you are, InuYasha. My fire to my coldness. My passionate lover. My mate for life.” He stopped short at a bench off of the trail and secured the brakes and knelt down to capture his brothers' lips. “I will always love you.”

 

“Sesshomaru...” he whispered softly as his brother's lips pulled away and stopped just inches from his own swollen lips- still swollen from moments earlier of their oral lovemaking. InuYasha could feel his own eyes water with sadness and happiness. His mate cared so much for him. For his well being, he felt as though he was cheating his mate from his own emotions that he truly held for him. Emotions that he could no longer show; they had been out ruled by his own fear and pain. His insecurity. What could he do?

 

“Don't worry about it, dearest.” Sesshomaru licked at his brother's lips before moving to sit on the bench. “We're both healing.”

 

“Yes, of course,” he replied softly as he became quiet again.

 

Flashes of Naraku flooded his mind. Naraku laughed and his whip coming down on his body as he had screamed in pain. He had really not cared about screaming or not. InuYasha's body, spirit and mind were all broken.

 

He could still hear some of Naraku's words that were spoken to him during the long time he was with him. They wrenched his heart with pain and agony.

 

He shuddered.

 

“Who wants a filthy demon like you anyways? You're worthless, even to one of me.”

 

Blow.

 

“If your brother ever found you, what would he think? He would shower you with lies and tell you that he loves you- but in truth, he is just as disgusted!” Naraku hissed in his ear. The poisonous hands reached down to wrap themselves around his betrayed arousal. “Disgusting.”

 

“Tainted. You're always going to be tainted.”

 

InuYasha didn't want to ever believe him. He knew somewhere in his mind that he had been lying to him. Invoking fear. Naraku had got the better of his youkai though. The strongest part of his mind, body and soul/spirit. It controlled him.

 

“You're my bitch now, though I do not see why I should even touch something the likes of you.”

 

InuYasha shook his head. He was wrong! Sesshomaru loved him! Unconditionally! 'Does he really?' his mind asked silently. 'Of course!' he growled back softly. 'Can you be sure of that?' He nodded to himself mentally.

 

'Dirty whore!' Naraku's voice exclaimed to him in his head as again memories of pain filled his mind. Naraku's beatings. Painstakingly overwhelming.

 

Sesshomaru watched InuYasha as he doubled over in his wheelchair. What was wrong with him? Should he be back in the hospital, where the air was cleaner? “What is it?” he asked as he went over to his mate, unclear of what to do now.

 

'Tainted! By me! You're all mine InuYasha, Sesshomaru no longer wants you! Your body is mine for the taking!' his voice grew louder.

 

“I'M NOT YOURS!” InuYasha cried as his eye flashed to a blood ruby red color, as quickly as it came it dissipated into a bold gold that quickly filled with crystal tears. “I'm Sesshomaru's,” he said quietly.

 

Sesshomaru could do nothing; he just knelt there watching him. Naraku's devious memories were playing back into his brother's mind.

 

“Sesshomaru does not lie!” he whimpered softly.

 

'He only wants you for your whore of a body!'

 

Sesshomaru froze. It wasn't his memories of his pain-filled encounter with Naraku. It was Naraku! The bastard was playing head games with his mate! So the little shit had enough strength to do such thing! What a cheap Hanyou!

 

“InuYasha! Listen to me not to him! He's playing games with you!” he said as he lifted InuYasha's chin so that their eyes met. “You are my only mate, I could want no other. Regardless of what the shit said, I will always love you,” he said sternly, as he looked straight into his brother's golden eye. “You know that. I wouldn't have come for you had I not cared. I wouldn't have searched for weeks upon weeks for you! I would not have shed so many tears for you as I have done, thinking you were gone for good. I was dead without you.”

 

InuYasha could feel a hard lump in his throat. Had he been telling him the truth? He could smell no lie, see no lie. Sesshomaru certainly never said such serious things if they were a lie. It would be cruel.

 

“I, Sesshomaru would also be honored to have pups with you. Our pups will be the most beautiful of them all. Who ever bears them, or if both of us bear them. I will call them my own and care for them.” He smiled as his hand caressed his mate's demonic markings on his cheek. “If that says how much I love you.”

 

InuYasha's eye filled up with more tears.

 

“I want to be fully mated to you,” he declared.

 

“Are you sure?”

 

“I'm positive. You're the only one I could truly love and show my emotions too.”

 

“Oh, Sesshy!” he said as he wrapped his arms around his lover's neck and pulled him close into a tight embrace; taking a deep breath of his brother's calming- yet arousing scent. He nuzzled his neck and made a rumble of a growl; sounding very much of a purr, in his throat.

 

They remained in the embrace for five minutes, maybe more before they pulled away. “I can smell a pond just a few minutes down the path, c'mon.” Sesshomaru said as he walked behind the wheelchair and unlocked the brakes at the wheels before starting off.

 

The scent of his mate filled his senses. It could be a long long mating process, full of stress and mood swings. Ah, if the raging emotion from the heat as well as from the raping's were not bad enough? Demons that were pregnant were very very moody. Seeing how they had been emotionally traumatized, and that they were both temperamental males, it could be one big mess. Regardless of being mates, it'd be a long love-hate relationship should pregnancy result from the heats.

 

In the end, it would all be worth it. They would most likely give more heirs to their dying race as well as family. They would look back on these days and laugh about it- or cry. This could just well be the generation of re-population. All coming from the most powerful youkai of the time. Their pups will produce more powerful generations to come.

 

When they did have pups, he could not wait to see what they looked like. To find out if they would have his mate's ears, if they had his crescent moon, or InuYasha's sun. If they had tails like the both of them.

 

He wanted to be the best father they would ever have! He would train them to be the best; to love. To care. To be cold; they would be fire and ice.

 

He shook his head mentally, it was the heat talking. He was going mushy! But then again he was just as excited at knowing that either way they would somehow have pups.

 

He halted the wheelchair short of the bank. “Do you wish to sit on the grass?” he asked looking down at him with a small smile.

 

“Hai that would be nice. It's better than feeling the bed padding.” InuYasha lifted himself up with the help from his brother who only had one arm to do anything; he hoisted himself out of the wheelchair with a grunt of pain, and then carefully moved so that the IV in his hand would not tangle and settled down on the grass to the left of his wheelchair. Sesshomaru moved to settle down next to him; pulling him closer to him with his right arm.

 

They sat in silence as they watched the pond, where ducks bobbed on the surface before going under to feed. The frogs croaked, the crickets chirped. The sun was still high in the sky, the trees around them protecting them from the harmful rays.

 

Silence was broken when InuYasha spoke up. “So how exactly did you find me?”

 

“Well, since I had thought you were dead; seeing how the demon had really gotten you, we thought you would not have survived the damage inflicted on you.” He looked down in shame, he should have known better. “I decided after a while I needed to get over it and settle the grief that was welling inside of my heart. An endless ache. I decided to give you a proper burial. I needed to find your body. So my search began.

 

“It led me down the river we had been fighting on and there it was that I found Kagome and her other friends who had brought you here. I had been worn down and I decided to let them lead me to the hut in which you were supposed to be. You were not. I was enraged. I had gone off immediately, finding your scent and the one of another worthless being,” he said refraining to the old dirty word that his brother used to have to endure. “I followed your misled scent to a trap in an open field. That was where I met one of Naraku's incarnations. I finished her quickly; before she departed this world she told me where I could find you. I took this lead, as it was the only one I had, since the scent that I had been following, had been totally off. So there I was following my nose straight into your direction.

 

“Naraku had constructed a barrier. I had used the Tetsusaiga to take it down.”

 

InuYasha gasped as Sesshomaru held out his hand where a scar had rested in the palm. “It hurt, but it was worth saving you.” Sesshomaru smiled as he nuzzled his mate and captured his lips. “And now we are here my love.”

 

He had gone through so much trouble just for him? InuYasha could hardly believe he was that valuable to him. Sesshomaru's serious voice was proof of his caring. He felt himself being pulled on top of Sesshomaru's waist as he lay back on the grass.

 

Sesshomaru wanted to know what exactly happened to his mate, but it was far too early to be remembering such horrifying memories. For the both of them. Instead he pulled InuYasha down on him further so that he lay against his chest. “Isn't it so ironic with our demonic markings, little brother?” he said as he studied his brother's face before he began trace the sun marking on his brother's forehead, rewarding him with a shudder of pleasure. “Without the sun there would be no moon, without the moon, there would be no sun.”

 

Their father had a sun and moon in a : )O( They'd actually be connected to the sun), sort of look which was a sun with crescent moons opposing it. Truly odd. It was even stranger how they were touched together they sent them into deeper emotion. What other power did they have when they were connected?

 

“I'm glad that you will be more accepted by other demons, InuYasha. You no longer have to worry about being picked on...” he said carefully.

 

“Hn...” InuYasha really didn't care anymore; his protector would always be there for him...

 

 

~Back at the hospital~

 

InuTaisho sighed to himself as he rose from his seat and paced back and forth down the hall. He was missing his own mate; he had been considering whether or not to go back through the well and just wait until his sons were finished with their infatuations and healing.

 

Walking over to the strange boxes that produced food if given the correct amount of money, he had none but it didn't stop the Inu Daiyoukai from looking or smelling.

 

The great lord's stomach growled in hunger. Flicking his tail in agitation beneath the layer of cloth, he turned around, walking back to sit next to Kagome's mother.

 

“We're going out to eat soon, perhaps we could take InuYasha?” she suggested. “He may have permission to be home treated, should his condition be completely stable.”

 

Kagome smiled at her mother's idea, “That would be really nice to have one nice family get together! InuYasha would love the food seeing that he had a few dozen cups of Ramen from the looks of the cups that littered his room.”

 

“Let's give them an hour to themselves,” InuTaisho said dryly, as he wrapped a finger around a rope of hair, then letting it down. “Is there anything else to do while we wait?”

 

“No, not really. Unless you want to go to the zoo? Or the park, knowing that your sons are there, they may not like our presence,” Grandfather Higurashi said as he stroked his chin in thought. “Hmm, well maybe we could go shopping for more clothes for your sons and yourself.”

 

That would be a good idea seeing how they only had used clothes that were loaned to them from their hosts. It would nice to have some proper fitting clothing. “I think that would be nice,” the lord said as he got up. “What will we do if they arrive back?”

 

“The nurse will let them know where we are, we should not be long,” Joy replied adjusting her purse to her side. She walked over to the front desk and exchanged a few words with the nurse before coming back. “Let's go!” she smiled.

 

 

~Back at the pond~

 

The heat was getting worse; they would have to wait another night. InuYasha was just not up to it, no matter what his youkai thought. His mind was not ready for such intrusion. He wanted it so badly though his whole body was burning.

 

“Can I give you a back massage?” asked Sesshomaru as he rolled onto his side facing InuYasha. A back massage with one hand? Who was he kidding?

 

InuYasha looked at him confused. “If you would like to. I am quite sore... I'm not sure how my wounds would like it though.”

 

He was right; his wounds on his back could reopen. It wouldn't be such a great idea. “Foot massage?” he suggested wanting to give his mate some pleasure while touching him more in a less sexual act of just caressing his lovers arm.

 

InuYasha never really had a foot massage. He was up to one though, they were the only place that his body had not been injured. “I guess it couldn't hurt.”

 

(A/N: I could easily turn this into a foot fetish story lmao! But I won't...)

 

He watched as Sesshomaru rose and went over to InuYasha's feet and began using his strong hand to massage the almost dog like foot pads just below each of the clawed toes, and at his heel. He skillfully massaged the paw pads and applied pressure to just the right spots, causing InuYasha to moan lightly and began to make a small rumble of satisfaction from his throat. “You're good at this, Sesshy.”

 

“Would you like for me to massage your legs?” he smiled.

 

“Why not? Go ahead.”

 

Sesshomaru made his way slowly up his calves, taking his time. He caressed his inner thighs before he felt the pull from his youkai to caress him further up. He kneaded softly at the bruised muscles; hating them because they had been caused by Naraku. They would feel better soon, when the bruises would be caused by acts of love, not from hate and force.

 

“I love how you do that,” he purred as he felt Sesshomaru's claws erotically trail his claws lightly up his back of his thigh. The gown's back side was opened as he began to rub the sensitive inner thighs; brushing the stringy tail aside. “You're a tease.”

 

Sesshomaru chuckled before changing legs, mimicking his previous actions, performed on the opposite leg. “I love your skin. It's soft,” he said softly as his digits studied the soft fuzz on the back of his lover's thigh, that gave a small shiver that carried up InuYasha's backside.

 

InuYasha could feel his brother's hand travel to his round mounds and entrance that was ready for the taking. Only thing preventing it was his memories of what had happened. Painful... So very painful.

 

He let out a whining moan as Sesshomaru lightly teased; stopping at his entrance. Hissing back at him his tail swatted at the hand that brushed it aside just as it gave his rump a nice squeeze. He trailed the hand up his spine sending a shudder up his spine again, as he felt Sesshomaru use a single digit to give the lightest spine- crawling caress. “Sesshy... Gods...” he whined looking back at his brother who gave him a light smirk before he untied the back of the gown to give a full back massage.

 

Tempted to sit on his brothers back legs- pinning him, he resisted and settled for his brother's left side. Using his elbow he kneaded his back, avoiding some of the wounds and gashes in his brother's back that he felt would hurt him if he touched there. He instead settled for the empty places that were less torn at. Seeing that those places were rare, he massaged his hips where the demonic markings were shown. They were very sensitive, like the silver dog ears that were erected at the top of his mate's skull.

 

InuYasha's back arched with a moan escaping his mouth. He could feel Sesshomaru's tongue reach down, lapping at the jagged markings that clung to his hips in a slightly curved thick dark magenta stripe. Nibbling a little before he left for his mate's neck with a hiss, he massaged neck and arms slowly. “You're so beautiful, InuYasha. You just can't quite see it yet...” he breathed into the silver dog ear as he licked it then sucked at it lightly, knowing just how sensitive it was.

 

A shock wave of pleasure shot throughout InuYasha's body. “You're such a tease!” he rolled over to face his mate. “I'm beginning to think you cannot wait?!” InuYasha smiled. “You'll have to wait.”

 

“I know...” He got up and let InuYasha slowly get in an upright position before he watched him tie his gowns back together in bow. “I think it maybe time to head back?”

 

InuYasha's ears drooped slightly to the side. “We can wait a little while longer... I want to be with you here for a bit longer.”

 

He couldn't deny his mate such a small request. It wasn't as though it was an order to be back right away, nodding he pulled InuYasha's body closer, resting his chin on his shoulder. “I love you,” he said again purring. His ear twitched as InuYasha's sleepy voice returned the loving words.

 

Listening to his breathing become lighter, his body more relaxed, he knew InuYasha had fallen fast asleep. Sighing to himself he couldn't help but go back to his memory of the scars that were on his back, as well as everywhere else. Thinking to himself again, he whispered in an inaudible tone, “It's not the scars on outside I'm truly worried about, it's the ones he carries inside...”

 

'I'm coming for you and you're fucking precious brother of yours, Sesshomaru. You can't hide from me once I am strong enough,' whispered a vile voice within his head. Naraku. Still toying with them.

 

`I'll take you down before you can ever lay your filthy half breed hands on him!' he silently snarled, eyes flashing to an angry red. 'You're nothing but a weak half breed demon!'

 

An evil laugh emanated from Naraku's voice. 'Keep thinking that. Just remember this: I'm coming for you both.'

 

The voice faded away, leaving Sesshomaru with the biting fear at his neck. He really was concerned for their own wellbeing. Naraku and his mind games, he wasn't sure what was real, and what a true bluff was. Some how he could feel Naraku's strength, it was weak... but it was there.

 

He would have to keep an eye out for the shit if anything were to happen; he could not bear another scar.

 

Sesshomaru knew if they returned to their era, they would at a greater risk but all the same, Naraku was Naraku. Desperate. Devious. Unpredictable. Dirty. He wouldn't let fear eat away at him and become a helpless animal.

 

Shaking off the fear he looked down at InuYasha's scared face and sadly closed eyes wishing to remove such scars. The pain. But he couldn't, he could only ease them, time would heal them.

 

Getting up, it was time to get back to the hospital. Sesshomaru was strong enough to pick up his little brother with a single hand and clumsily, yet carefully place him back in the wheelchair, without stirring him. The demonic blood was working quickly while he slept; he needed his energy. For the pups that may come should one of them become pregnant or if Naraku attacked them again.

 

A realization came to him. If one of them were to become with- pup, Naraku could do further damage to them. Naraku needed to be taken down. Now. Sesshomaru may be able to have pups with InuYasha and have very little amount of time before anything serious were to happen, but it needed to happen before signs of pregnancy occurred.

 

How were they going to do this?

 

InuTaisho, their father would surely help with the killing. He was far stronger than Sesshomaru, himself. He had the power and ability to. He could only hope that Naraku wouldn't reach full power before then.

 

No matter how hard he was going to fight his youkai, it wasn't about to let its heat go unattended. It would not wait another day. The urge was getting too far gone to resist.

 

Crossing the road safely he made his way back into the hospital where he was greeted with a smile and took InuYasha back to his room where he was checked on and placed back into his bed. Hooking him back to some of the machines, they left with a small smile back at Sesshomaru.

 

Doctor Kai had come by to visit just then.

 

“Hello Sesshomaru, it is good to see you again. How are you doing?” asked the doctor as he greeted him with a warm smile and a firm hand handshake.

 

“I'm fine.”

 

“Good, good.” Walking over to the sleeping InuYasha, checking his vital signs. “Did you have a good time out? No problems I hope?”

 

Sesshomaru shook his head. “No, it was quite enjoyable. Much more relaxing than being in here,” he said sitting down in one of the chairs that was placed beside InuYasha's left side of the bed; observing the doctor as he jotted down notes on the tablet he carried in his hands. “Do you think that he'll be out of here sometime soon?” he asked.

 

“Well, it all depends on how healthy he is. I'd like to run a blood sample if you don't mind to check for other sicknesses. It's alright if you don't want to. Otherwise we'll run a body scan to check his condition inside his body. His skull is going to need a small x-ray too,” he said as he checked the sutures on the back of his patient's head. It was healing nicely.

 

The doctor observed the few soft spots at the back of InuYasha's skull, they would heal soon, for now they would be taken care of, by being protected by an egg helmet that would cover his head and act as a second layer to his skull. It would protect against bumps and other injuries that may occur while he was still healing.

 

The silver dog ears that had been some odd genetic mutation that fascinated Dr. Kai would become accustomed to the helmet that was custom made to fit this truly weird genetic deformity.

 

“I am going to have a custom made helmet to fit his head so his skull is protected further so no other injuries occur, after the tests are finished I believe he would be well enough to go home and have bed side care with a home nurse that will visit once a day to check his wellness if you would like. Otherwise you can read the instructions that I will send with you later, on how to care for him properly.” He scribbled some more notes down on the page on a clip board. “I will try to have the helmet delivered by later this evening, since they can customize them just down town Tokyo and delivers them,” he announced. “Since I have a close co- worker who works there as a part time job when he has time, he can make it himself and have it in a few hours. Just let me take some measurements.”

 

'A helmet? He has a thick enough skull as it is,' Sesshomaru thought silently to himself with a slight grin. “If it helps him, then run the tests and put a helmet on him. I'm sure he will not exactly agree with it.”

 

“It's for his own good,” Dr. Kai said grimly, as he turned his attention back to InuYasha, in which he lightly roused with soft words. “Time to awaken, InuYasha, I must check your back.”

 

InuYasha growled a groan out before he brushed the hand that gently nudged him away. “Not now! I'm sleeping,” he muttered.

 

“I could get you some more of that Ramen noodle soup if you get up, InuYasha, of course you would like that now wouldn't you?”

 

The ears on top of his head twitched at the magical words. His eye opened and he looked up at his doctor. “Feh, fine!”

 

It was amazing to Sesshomaru that InuYasha could still eat after what he had witnessed before. Then again, he needed a lot of food for energy. His youkai must be sensing that it was almost time for its mating and was storing as much energy as possible, while still keeping energy to heal.

 

“I'm going to give you a helmet to wear while you're healing, it will prevent further damage while you're healing. I will only give you the Ramen and let you go home if you agree to this and some simple tests that I will have you do later on today. Promise that you will?” Dr. Kai said as he watched the Inu's reaction.

 

InuYasha narrowed his eye and knitted his dark silver eye brows together in thought. He didn't like the idea of having to wear a stupid helmet. It'd make him look extremely stupid; if he hadn't look stupid already that was- seeing that he had no damn blessed hair on top of his head. But it was for the delicious Ramen he had earlier. How mouth watering it was to have the Creamy Chicken Ramen noodle, he could just drool at the thought. Not to mention the thought of being out of the smelly hospital that made him think more that he was going to be having his balls cut off if anything.

 

Shuddering at the thought he opened his eye and looked at the doctor. “I guess I will agree and promise to wear the helmet. I also don't really know about the tests...” he looked at him suspiciously. “What sort of tests?”

 

“Simple tests seeing how well your blood cells are doing. It's not very necessary, so if you don't want to do it it's fine by me,” he said simply. He knew he could easily sell the blood to scientist so they could discover the new trait, but he wasn't money greedy. He cared for his patient's well being. He was morally against the idea of such thing. It was a very tempting idea though...

 

He shook his head mentally and watched for an answer.

 

“No. I think I'll be fine,” InuYasha's reply said quickly.

 

“As you wish,” he said with a shrug. “Can you roll onto your side? I want to check your back.”

 

“Feh,” InuYasha replied, hiding the self-consciousness in his voice and rolled over to face his mate; back exposed to the doctor that removed the tie and observed closer. His cold hands touched at the disfigured flesh on his back resulting in an involuntary jerk. The flesh didn't enjoy being touched by any other than its mate, Sesshomaru.

 

“These wounds,” he observed curiously. “They do not look like any ordinary wounds. What did you say happened to him again? If you do not mind telling me,” the doctor said as he scrutinized deeper at the wounds that seem to be healing but some seemed to be infected by harmful bacteria. He would have to put him on antibiotics. “The back could get a plastic surgeon in here and fix this up and possibly made better.”

 

“He was beat up...” he said simply.

 

“No,” InuYasha replied. “It's who I am now. I want to forget it, but I can't help but not want it to be gone. Yet I do.”

 

“I understand,” Doctor Kai said, tying up the gown, and then straightening. “I'll have to put you on antibiotics for some of the wounds that are starting to get infectious. I wouldn't want them spreading.”

 

“I'll be sure that his wounds are addressed,” Sesshomaru said watching as his mate flicked his tail in annoyance; watching it flick over his abdomen, revealing his rear to the doctor who smiled and just rolled his eyes, having experience with such behavior before, but without the tail and more of the attitude.

 

“I find it really fascinating how he has the tail as well.”

 

The brothers were really getting tired of the whole mutation thing. It was really getting annoying. Maybe it was best just to tell the human just what they were. They would just be out of there right away, perhaps never to go back to the hospital again.

 

Was it really worth it though?

 

They could always kill him if he told anyone.

 

Then again, the brothers felt indebted to him for saving his life. It was a reasonable reward.

 

'Do you really think it wise?' he thought to himself. He was a powerful youkai. He'd protect his brother, should anything bad go wrong with the revealing.

 

Looking down at InuYasha, their eyes met knowing just what exactly they were thinking. They nodded to each other in confirmation. They would take full responsibility of their actions; after all, they were demons. Powerful. Ready to deal with anything. Or at least just about anything.

 

InuYasha's worry was that the doctor would freak out and perhaps go tell everyone. Maybe not since he was given some sort of feeling close to trust with this doctor. If he wished him ill, he would have not helped him back when he had first arrived.

 

Looking up at the doctor Sesshomaru watched his reaction, reading and filtering his words carefully. “Tell me doctor, what would you think and say if I told you we were demons? Had such thing existed?”

 

The doctor blinked at them, his green eyes, obviously blown away by the question. “I really am not quite sure. I'm not a big religious person. I believe in such, never seen any demons before though, unless you call my ex girlfriend, one,” he laughed.

 

Not really amused by the joke, Sesshomaru made a movement to cross his arms across his chest but settled for resting it on the arm of the chair; not having two arms. “You have seen demons before.”

 

“I have now, have I?” he replied sort of amused.

 

“Hai.”

 

“Where?”

 

“In front of you doctor.”

 

 

A/n: CLIFFY!!!!!! Woot! Woot! Sorry, had to do it. I know I ramble in here a lot sorry. I was thinking I didn't wanna post this chapter because it felt pointless with nothing really going on in here. Hmm... Maybe I'll have something exciting in the next chapter.

 

I really wanted to get some healing in here, but it wasn't much it was just sorta of a: “get you excited sex scene may be coming up” chapter/thing. I really don't know anymore... I wrote most of this chapter when I was tired and partly drunk, lol. I think you maybe able to tell that I was tired by the tired scenes ^_^. Meh, enough rambling, I have to get to bed; I have school in the morning!

 

Send me your reviews! ^_^;

 

Oh check out my other fictions: All mine and Dear brother, tell me what you think.

 

I also realized that I messed up with the term for their pants in the previous chapters; they should be called Hakama's I believe that's what it is... Let me know if I'm wrong because I have to go back and look threw the chaps and change that... Blah!

 

Oh yes! I was looking for a second beta reader who can translate some English words to Japanese. Um yeah so kootles! <3
