Chapter 18: Seeking out answers

Saimyoushou watched the two brothers undress and climb into the shallows of the waterfall. The Saimyoushou spied on the dog demons as they waded into the water. They acted as Naraku's eyes, as he could not be there.

Naraku watched, becoming hard with need. He wished to have his spy's to go closer but he was sure that the two demons would figure him out. Naraku would not risk being found that he was really spying on them. The hanyou, Naraku was gathering his strength for an attack. Energy was not to be spent on pleasuring himself. After all, he would be able to do that later, and with the two brothers bound to his bed.

It was all a matter of time now of when he could strike. If it were at the wrong time, it would be the end for him. However, the TaiYoukai was out of the picture for a while it would be good to have a strike now. With no InuTaisho, it would be easy to strike. Sesshomaru and InuYasha were not at a weakened state, but they were still recovering from the damage that had been done earlier.

Even so, injured demons and animals can be very dangerous when facing death as well as protecting a mate. It was unpredictable of how they would react. Hence was the reason why Naraku did not wish to strike.

Calling the Saimyoushou back to the nest, the spider hanyou lay back on the dusty floor thinking. “I need to seriously think this out. Two full demons, plus a father that had a reputation for being the most ruthless cold hearted demon in the land when it came to family and land,” Naraku spoke to himself. “I will have to most likely take them out one by one.”

Naraku thought back to the plan he had originally used. It was the same plan that captured InuYasha in the beginning. By summoning a god demon to strike them, then make a possible capture. Though, it may not work a second time; as they may not go for it. “I must try something!” he hissed to himself. “Perhaps I should do this myself this time.” It was a way to assure everything was done properly.

“Yes… I think I like how I think. I will do it myself.”

Naraku's disturbed mind started at work. So many ideas of how to do it! He would observe the two demons conditions and slowly plan it all out. Naraku some how knew everything was going to be in his favor.

 

 

Sesshomaru led the way through the forest just outside the castle walls. Neither one of them had left the castle since their arrival from the hospital 3 weeks prier to now. During them 3 weeks they were concentrated on their heats. Not too mention now they were both pregnant!

InuYasha had taken the news well. He had figured something was up. InuYasha was up for the truth now. They would have pups! What could be better?

Sesshomaru suggested that they should try to get out of the castle for a few hours the next day. He had told InuYasha that he knew of a small water fall within the forest. It would beat being in the castle all day, and it may be nice to take a walk.

InuYasha had been up to going to the forest of InuTaisho of Saigoku, just a half a mile from the castles village walls. It was named after their father after he had become ruler of the Saigoku; the western lands. The forest that bore their fathers name was a favored place for InuTaisho to go. Now it was his son's favored place to be.

“Are we almost there?” asked InuYasha as he was pulled along by his eager mate, Sesshomaru. InuYasha sniffed at the air he could smell water coming closer. It soon reached his ears. Answering his own question, InuYasha picked up his pace.

“Yes, just ahead,” Sesshomaru confirmed. “I know you'll like this place. Father had told me about this place a long while ago. It is a great place to be.”

The two brothers soon approached a clear where they were met by a gorgeous waterfall. They stopped briefly to take in the view. Clear blue water emptied itself into a large basin at the end of the falls before pouring out of the basin into many streams that connected to a larger form then into a clear river like stream. Around the basin of crystal clear water and almost bleach white sand were smooth rocks perfect for sun bathing or just to nap as the sun poured into the clearing. “I can see why father loves this place,” InuYasha commented in complete awe as he let go of the delicate hand of his mate.

Going over to the water, InuYasha stripped of his white and gold trimmed silk kimono which had embroidery of golden fire and a red phoenix just above the flames of gold were embodied on the back of the kimono. A gold and red western dragon was also on the back embracing the crimson phoenix with their wings as they rose from the golden flame. The kimono was given to him by his father before the incident. InuYasha had just remembered it before they had left the castle. It had not been worn before now, during the few days before the battle with Naraku's servant that had attacked them and had sent him into this predicament; had been a blur and it had slipped his mind.

InuYasha's father gave it to him to symbolize rebirth, power, strength and beauty. It was very much an early birthday gift, as InuTaisho was eager to give it to him. Now InuYasha treated it with care and love as he carefully placed it on the rock before testing out the water with his foot. The water was perfect!

Flicking his tail, InuYasha looked back to his mate with a lopsided smile. “The water is absolutely perfect!”

Sesshomaru wasn't paying much attention to his mate's words he was absently starring at his mates well shaped mounds. “Yes… Indeed it is perfect!” Sesshomaru snapped out of his daze. “What? Oh yes, definitely! The water looks perfect!”

Sesshomaru smiled as he drew closer removing his own kimono which was his usual design of the red and white flowers that decorated his silken kimono. Placing them neatly on the rock beside InuYasha's kimono, he walked to his naked mate. “I know how you like bathing in the falls. As you say, it keeps the water out of your ears… somewhat,” Sesshomaru smiled as he reached up to rub the silky white ears.

InuYasha would have minded anyone else other than his mate to touch his ears but Sesshomaru's touch was different. Leaning in to the touch he purred. It was a true heavenly feeling of having his Sesshomaru touch him in such a way.

“Otouto, you're too much like a cat.” Sesshomaru stifled a giggle as he led his mate with his hand on InuYasha's lower back just above the stilled tail; into the basin of cool water.

“I'm so not!” growled InuYasha pulling away from his brother with a glare. “I wouldn't be talking so much. I've had you purring much more. You purr in your sleep!”

Sesshomaru quirked an eyebrow in disbelief as he was not sure if he should be taking his brother's meaningful tone seriously. Sesshomaru had to admit, he had purred a few times in his life. “Alright, you caught me.”

InuYasha smiled as he reached for his brother's rear; earning him a playful flick of Sesshomaru's tail. Sesshomaru slapped at the hand as he walked deeper into the water basin just before InuYasha pounced on him. Catching him off guard he went down with a splash pulling InuYasha in with him.

Surfacing with a glaring mate, who then splashed him and pulled away before shaking himself much like a dog to relive the water from his oddly unique dog ears. It irritated and tickled the canals. “That wasn't nice,” InuYasha commented as he finished shaking on to his mates who was catching all of the water from InuYasha's sopping wet tail and body.

“I'm sorry.” Sesshomaru kicked over to his mate who stood in the shallows.

“It's all right.”

Sesshomaru gave a slight frown as he pulled his younger brother close to him. Sitting on the sandy bottom, Sesshomaru pulled InuYasha into his lap as he faced him. Kissing him lightly he wrapped his arm around his brother as he rested his chin on the naked shoulder.

“Father and mother have been gone a very long time, don't you think?” Sesshomaru commented absently. Enjoying the close moment he was sharing with InuYasha there was no need to start a mating frenzy as they had done for the past week. It was more of a time to relax and recuperate. “Seeing how they just went there to repay the Higurashi family. Though I am thinking they are enjoying the new age.”

“Mmm, most likely,” InuYasha commented absently, his fingers toying through the wet silky blackish hair that clung to his lovers marred back. “Do you think it will really be that way in the future? If we do live that long that is.”

“I have no idea. I hope we do live that long.” Sesshomaru shrugged. “I think we should really not mess too much with the future. It could mess up time. Don't you think?”

Sesshomaru felt InuYasha nod. “This is a reason why we should keep low if we go there again.” InuYasha wasn't so keen on going again. Though he loved the food, he loved home much more. He would cherish it while it lasted.

Sesshomaru paused suddenly feeling something was watching them. Sniffing the air he detected nothing. Looking around slowly, as to not alert his mate he saw nothing. It was an odd feeling. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end.

As quickly as he had detected whatever was watching him, it was gone. Perhaps it was some kind of hungry wild animal. Dismissing it, Sesshomaru sighed. Reaching in between them Sesshomaru moved his hand to InuYasha's lower abdomen he smiled, he would have pups sometime in a few months. “Should we tell father right away or wait?” Sesshomaru asked as he felt InuYasha's hand feel his own stomach.

“Well, I think it would be best to tell him right away. Seeing how he would most likely figure it out sooner or later.” InuYasha pulled away from Sesshomaru. “I hope it's not that bad giving birth… It can't be worse than the morning sickness.”

Sesshomaru had seen female humans and demonesses give birth before in the village. It did sound like a painful process. Though, Sesshomaru was sure it would be better than what pains InuYasha had overcome when he had been in Naraku's grasp. “It will be just another bump in the road of life,” Sesshomaru calmly stated.

“How many do you think we will have?” InuYasha asked curiously as the thought struck if they had a litter of 3 or more pups each, it would be tons of work just caring for them all. Not to mention the fact they would have to birth them all. One sounded enough!

“Not sure. Normally, dog demonesses have about 2-4 pups. My mother of course was lucky enough to have just one.”

“You say it as if it is painful!”

“Sorry, I'm not sure maybe it is, maybe it isn't.”

“Wonderful!” InuYasha huffed.

Rubbing the firming abdomen of his mate, Sesshomaru was sure that the coming months would be rough with the coming mood swings and other pregnancy related issues that often resulted with other species. It was almost a guarantee that InuYasha was definitely going to have a lot of mood swings. Sesshomaru just hoped that none would truly affect their relationship.

“When we get out of here, we're going to the village to talk with some midwifes and healers who have experience with this sort of situation. I want to know what to expect. I do not wish to endanger our pups' lives,” Sesshomaru said as he pulled InuYasha closer to his chest as he leaned back on a large smooth rock.

 

 

InuTaisho and his human mate Izayoi had just arrived back from the well that led to the young Miko, Kagome's time. They had come back later than they had planned because he wished that his mate to see as much as she could. A once in a life time event, InuTaisho knew that his mate was only human. Like all humans, their lives were short. Well aware of the heart break he would face in the future, he would cherish every moment with her.

The trip to modern day Japan for Izayoi was an experience to remember as she saw how life for the dog clan would one day experience. Just being there was bitterly sweet and full of excitement as her mate; InuTaisho took her just about everywhere. Understand they could take only a few things back through time, as it may just interrupt something, InuTaisho purchased he a crimson ruby embedded into a golden band with their names engraved inside that spoke their eternal love for each other.

Another thing that InuTaisho purchased was something for his sons. A small gift for his son's mating. While out and about he had stumbled upon an Adult novelty store. Izayoi had not been with him unfortunately as she had been at the Higurashi home exploring and asking many questions of the family to satisfy her curiosity; he had decided to check it out for himself. Perhaps the TaiYoukai would buy some toys for his mate and him. Of course his sons' would love a few things too, not that they would need it as from what he had been hearing before he had left, they had no problems accomplishing their mating. Though he was sure that spicing thing's up for them would be much appreciated as well.

It was sort of an odd situation buying for Izayoi, his two sons' and himself as he had scanned the shelves and hangers for novelties. `I should have them come look for themselves,' he thought picking out some lubricants and a few fake penis' that would surly please his mate when he was on long travels. Looking at some bondage things he picked out a few more items and moved to the counter where he paid for the items.

The TaiYoukai could only picture his son's reactions as he would give them the odd gifts. It was sure to be a punishment to the old lord's ears now. None the less, if his son's were happy so was he.

Moving through the forest that bore InuYasha's name, he pulled his mate protectively close to him. It wouldn't take more than a day to reach their home. That was, if they rushed and InuTaisho took to his dog form. Not really wanting to rush it they took their time as the walked westward.

“So, do you think they will be out of their heats and both pregnant now?” Izayoi asked drawing her husband out of his thoughts as he had been since they had entered into the forest of InuYasha. She, of course was use to his musings but it always made her wonder what he was thinking.

“Well, I think it may be so that at least one of them is pregnant; if not both. I would also conclude that their heats may be over but the spark may still be there. After all, it has been more than a week since we have left.”

Izayoi never really understand the whole mating game with males. Especially when the mating males involved were her sons'. Being a mother of her son InuYasha and step mother to Sesshomaru, she accepted it because it made them both happy. “Oh dearest!” she cried happily at the thought of some grand pups/children. “I would love to see them give us some little ones!”

InuTaisho couldn't help but smile in amusement. “I believe I would too like to have little ones to watch over. Not having them around- save for InuYasha and Sesshomaru, who, might I add, do act childish often; would be nice to have the screamers and childish giggling,” he finally concluded.

Giggling, Izayoi leaned into her husband's side. “Yes indeed.”

As the hours flew by the chattered away on their memories and funny stories of their pups and they had not realized they were very close to home. InuTaisho had shifted into his dog demon form so his mate would be able to rest on his back. Realizing he must have taken larger stride than he had thought he reached the forest that bore his own name that was less then a mile away from the outskirts of the village around the castle. Now shifting back he led his mate once more through the thick forest.

Passing the location where he had used to come so often he stiffened. The old scent of his pups love making. The scent was of course hours and hours old but it still lingered there. While catching the scent, he caught on a new scent that was hidden within the stench of musk and salt. Something identifiable as it was almost to faint to detect. InuTaisho made a mental note to investigate it later.

“What is the matter, dearest?” asked Izayoi not being able to detect a thing with her human senses. “Are we in danger?”

InuTaisho shook his head as he shifted back into humanoid form. The long pony tail swinging be hind him with his tail which flicked the stiffness from itself, he turned to his concerned mate, “It is nothing to be concerned for. I just smelt our pups. They were here earlier today and their scents are faint. I am sure they are back at the castle.”

“Oh, so they were out and about? That's lovely!”

Nodding in agreement with Izayoi, they continued on their way back home. Hopefully every thing in the castle was in working order. Things always seemed to fall apart while the two were absent.

 

 

“We are sorry my lords, we have not had experience with male dog demons giving birth in over 3 centuries!” a midwife in her late 50's said exasperated as she set down a cup of tea for her guests. “Male births can range with the species. All I can do is give you some advice that I hope is correct; as I take judgment from previous species of demons male births.”

Sesshomaru sat beside his mate starring intently at the old midwife. “And what would that be. I am willing to take what we can get. I'm sure we cannot be any different from what other demon clans have gone through. We cannot all be that different?” Sesshomaru persisted.

InuYasha watched with Sesshomaru as the old human took a seat in front of them at the squared table. They had been to a few homes already that day and it would be 5 hours until the sun sank beneath the horizon. Not gaining much knowledge as most midwifes were human and didn't know much except for human births. Few demons dealt with human midwifes as they were not much needed as they didn't possess the knowledge that older youkai midwives did. Since the youkai's that were knowledgeable enough were in distant villages they really did not wish to endanger themselves in the trek to get to them. The mated pair would settle for the human knowledge for now.

“True. From what I have seen so far my lords, is the fact that the births are 75 percent coming from the anal area. The birth canal must connect some how during the months of pregnancy and when the time comes, the pups or child will exit through there. I am not sure of how your bodies will work with the birthing months to accommodate the pups to come but I am sure everything will be alright.”

“Yes, that is what I have been hearing from some of the midwives as well. At any rate,” Sesshomaru dismissed as he waved his hand in the air dismissing the story he had heard at least 2 times that day. “Do you know of any youkai's in the village that are well experience with this situation?” Sesshomaru asked looking down at his tea before drinking the bitter sweetness. From his peripheral vision he saw his mate sniffing the tea suspiciously before follow his brothers' example and drinking down the tea.

All of what he had thought could happen was concluding in their investigation of their pregnancies. All of the human characteristics that were also found in animals alike were confirmed to come. Ranging from mood swings to sickness to eating uncontrollably and cravings among other things were all to come. It was exciting but scary and foreign to them.

“Hmm… One may be of help. They live on the outskirts of the village. It is the Northwestern part of the village. They're dragon and forest folk. It is the small hut on the banks of the stream leading into the forest of InuTaisho, closest to the forest edge,” the old lady explained feeling a bit disappointed that she was not much of help to the princes. “They are probably more informed than I can be, Sorry my lords.”

She rose from her seat and led the lords to the exit of the small hut. “I hope your pups are beautiful.”

They smiled. “Thanks,” they replied as the left the house. “I am grateful for what info I can get, thank you for your hospitality. Also, I would appreciate you keeping this news of out pregnancy down. I do not wish to be spreading roomers,” Sesshomaru added stiffly.

“Oh, of course my lords' we shall say nothing of your pregnancies.”

They left down the dirt road as the two started towards the northwestern part of the village in hope of finding these youkai that may just help them. The village was very much a blend of demon and human, as both had to get along to live under the protection of the castle. It was a written rule. Everyone seemed to be glad to be bound by. Well just about everyone. Some youkai still thought of his mate as a Hanyou as they passed by. They said nothing; not wanting to face the western lords' wrath, they kept their mouths shut wisely.

Soon coming to the end of the path that led them to the outer parts of the village, which was on the boarder of the forest of InuTaisho. The house was not much. But it had that homey feel to it. Going up to the door, Sesshomaru gave a light rap on the door.

InuYasha's triangular ears twitched as footsteps approached and locks were undone. A tall demon with dark green hair that fell to his shoulders and matching green eyes to go with the two brown stripped demon markings running down his forehead where they led to the stripped brown eyelids. The demon had elf ears much like the ones that Sesshomaru had.

Behind him was a water dragon demoness approaching the male. She had a pair of horns directing backwards on top of the bluish green hair that reached just past her shoulders and behind a pair of flappy webbed-fin (A/N: Known as sails Ask me to show you if would like a description in picture) looking ears. She was shorter then the male; about 5'11 and had ice blue eye lids that blinked over sliver silted irises.

“Hello. I am Sesshomaru and this is my mate InuYasha. Of course you would know that right?” Sesshomaru asked looking at the odd pair who starred back at them wide eyed.

“My lords!” the water dragoness said shoving her mate aside gently. “What brings you here today?” she asked looking at InuYasha and smiling happily seeing that he was recovering quite nicely. “Oh forgive me! I didn't give you our names! My name isAranathe my mate here is Ranakanth. Please come in my lords'!”

The pair eagerly moved from the door way, allowing their guests to enter. It was either they have never really seen or had many guests, or they were just really happy to see the new talk of the village now that they were a mated pair. Of course, no one knew that they were now pregnant. Yet.

“Well, we came to seek some answers,” InuYasha said following in behind his mate. They took a seat at the rounded table in the kitchen area.

“What kind of answers?” asked Ranakanth as he seated himself next to his mate, Aranathe.

“Well,” Sesshomaru started. “Answers to male demon dog pregnancies. Do you know anything about them?” he continued to ask as he caught a glimpse of a dragon kit who had very green blue hair sailed triangular flappy ears, forest green eyes with blue demonic blue shaded eye lids and horns on top of her head that were starting backwards. She had seen the dog lord looking at her and squealed before running off into another room. Turning back to the parents with an amused arched eye brow he smiled.

“Oh sorry, that is Sonyoria. She is quite fond of you both. I think she had a crush,” whispered Aranathe giggling softly. “She gave you flowers back when you were ill InuYasha-sama.”

`So that was her?' thought InuYasha smiling. “Oh yes! I got them just fine. I loved them!” he said loudly as to make sure that Sonyoria got the message.

Aranathe smiled.

“Well, we have been through the ages my lords. We have encountered many births of many species. You're in luck as we know of some dog lords to have given birth being a male. To be exact, your fathers' forefather was a male and had given birth being a male. As I am sure your father, InuTaisho had not been aware of it as his forefather never really spoke of it so I have heard,” Ranakanth started. “Though that was ever so long ago, since then there really have been no male births. All the same I can give you some information on it.”

Sesshomaru smiled. They had finally found some one to help them. Feeling the weight lift from their shoulders they listened. “Go on,” urged Sesshomaru.

“Well, the dog demon lord long ago had mated with a distant relative who was also dog demon. They had given birth to of course your fathers' father. From what we had heard about it from some healers and midwives who had been with them the long months, they had dramatic changes in appearance. Not just in the stomach area. It was all around. The sliver gray hair had to change to a darker shade and their breast swelled. But It was a typical change for that, as I would think that they would change, the breasts I mean,” Ranakanth added. “I hadn't expected the shade of hair to change in the few weeks before giving birth.

“As I am sure you have heard in rumors of other demons giving birth, the body changes into a female. Not quite true. It is only in Hanyou male bodies. Seeing how InuYasha is now a full demon that will not happen. In stead the male's birth canal will develop, connecting to the rectum. The pups will come out of there instead of developing a vaginal area which would require the male's genitals to be gone as there would be no room for a vaginal area. The exiting of the pups being birthed this way could be hazardous to both the parent and pup.”

Birthing dangerous? They didn't wish for their pups to be in any sort of danger. The thought of them being in danger angered them both.

“Two of your great, great grand fathers pups did not survive sadly but the rest of them did. In total he had 5- including the ones that had died,” added Aranathe.

Ranakanth nodded sadly with a soft sigh. “With the last 2 pups they had to cut him open to get them if they wanted to survive. However they were too late.” Sighing sadly Ranakanth got up to poor some tea from the tea kettle above the fire in the middle of the room. Pouring himself some tea he settled back in his seat. “Nevertheless, the birthing process of a male dog demon is painful but it is worth while as the pups are born to be strong.”

Furrowing his brow Sesshomaru hoped that all of their pups would survive. They had strong parents and a strong blood line. This birth should be a breeze. “What other things do you know of this matter?”

“Well I know that males take a longer time to recuperate, that you'll be out of commission for 48 hours sometimes less, some times longer. It would depend on how many pups are born. Other than that I really don't have any other information for you. I am sure you have heard all the signs of being pregnant in the coming months for a male. Like mood swings et cetera?”

“Hai, we have. I think that is all that we really needed to know,” InuYasha said as he pondered with his thoughts for a moment.

“We thank you so much for the information you have shared with us. It will be greatly appreciated in the coming months,” Sesshomaru said as he unconsciously rubbed his stomach before stretching.

Aranathe eyes widened and she took a deep whiff of the air before smiling widely. “Oh my! Congratulations my lords!” she cried excitedly as she realized that they were both pregnant.

“Thanks,” InuYasha and Sesshomaru replied with a slight blush.

“If you have need any help or if we can be any of service don't hesitate to ask! We would be most happy to help you in any way,” Aranathe continued. “Of course I would think you would not want us to tell of your pups, so we'll keep that under wraps until you are ready to let it out.”

“Thanks,” they said again. They didn't need everyone to know about it just yet. The brothers would like to keep it a secret for a while longer. They didn't need to show that they were pregnant. It would lead to enemies striking.

“We must be off now, we thank you two again. I am sure we'll keep in touch,” Sesshomaru said slowly rising with his mate.

The two were starting towards the door when InuYasha paused to look back at the dragon and forest demon. “If Sonyoria would like to come over sometime after the births and watch the pups with us, I'd be grateful for any help. I am sure she would love the attention. For now we will need the rest and preparation for the coming months for the pups so there shall be no time to visit. But tell her hello,” InuYasha smiled as he could smell the small kit just around the corner listening in on the conversation. He could just smell her excitement.

“Of course my lords, she would absolutely love seeing the pups and helping out,” Aranathe smiled holding the door open for the two princes. “We wish you luck.”

“Thanks, we'll talk to you soon,” Sesshomaru said with a courteous bow before starting off back to the castle. They needed rest as they had been out all morning and afternoon. “That went well,” Sesshomaru commented with a sigh.

“At least we know what is to come.”

Sesshomaru nodded wrapping his arm around InuYasha's shoulders and pecking a kiss on his cheek as they took their time going back to the castle. Maybe they would nap or something once they got back. Feeling the fatigue already from all the activity that day and the activities of the previous weeks before, were hammering down on them.

“Sesshomaru? I say we nap when we get back to our room,” commented InuYasha as if he read Sesshomaru's plans before he spoke them.

“I agree.”

 

 

InuTaisho arrived back with Izayoi near dusk. The castle was surprisingly intact to his amazement. There were no signs of his sons' about either. Guessing they were out somewhere or in their chambers still screwing each other silly he did not worry too much.

“Dearest? I think I'll go bathe and go relax in the garden. I'll talk to you later,” Izayoi said kissing her mate on the cheek and heading towards her privet bath house.

Chancing that his pups were out or else where he headed up to their rooms to drop off the things he had bought them. While climbing the spiraling stair way up to the floor where Sesshomaru and InuYasha's chambers were located, something caught his nose. It was not arousal as he had smelt before he had left the castle which permeated with the scent of heat and arousal. InuTaisho had smelt it before however. Though it wasn't the same as the scent he had scented ages ago. It was different, yet the same. The scent was only smelt before when Izayoi was pregnant with InuYasha.

“So… who is pregnant now?” InuTaisho smiled as he continued up till he got to the floor and headed right down the corridor to their chambers where the doors were closed but not locked. Knocking before entering he had no reply. Figuring they were gone he entered the unknown.

Entering, he found the pair fast asleep and nude. Not surprised of it as they usually slept naked he set the items down at the end of the bed. Sniffing lightly he picked out that the scent of pregnancy emanated from both. InuTaisho was somewhat surprised and somewhat not. Seeing how bad their heats were, the father of the two was not as surprised.

Smiling he left the expecting mates to rest.

 

 

“Gods damn it fucking Sesshomaru! GET ON YOUR DAMN SIDE OF THE BED AND QUIT SNORING!” thundered a crabby demon as he woke to his mates snoring and his body was lying on top of him. It was summer and the evenings were still hot. InuYasha was in a foul mood as well for some odd reason.

“I do not snore!” hissed Sesshomaru as he scooted away on his side of the king sized bed.

“Yes. You. Do!” InuYasha bit out.

They had been resting quite nicely that evening when they had arrived back from Aranathe and Ranakanth's house on the edge of the forest. InuYasha had not been feeling so hot as he had slipped into their bed as they had arrived back that evening and had fallen asleep without a word.

The brothers never really fought. They had short arguments. Once they had drawn each others bloods in a heated argument, but that was long ago when their testosterone and hormones were raging. It was odd hearing the screaming of anger ring through the halls as they reached InuTaisho's ears just down on the first floor.

“I have never snored!” growled Sesshomaru who was also feeling a bit grouchy as his mate began raging a war with him.

“WELL! YOU WERE!” hissed InuYasha, his tail had puffed out and gave angry thumps on the bed.

“Whatever!” growled Sesshomaru as his tail was equally puffed out but thumped at an agitated rhythm as he turned on his side, his back to his angered mate. The pregnant male didn't feel like raging a war tonight. Sleeping was on his mind.

“Fine! Get off my bed then!” InuYasha shoved his mate off of the bed with his foot. To his success his mate fell with an `oomph' as he landed roughly on some fallen pillows.

Growling Sesshomaru got up. “IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MOVED INTO MY ROOM! THEREFORE THIS IS MY BED!” the shove was all that was needed to put Sesshomaru into a more pissed off mood as he snarled back at his mate.

Hearing the commotion upstairs, InuTaisho figured that he better go do something about it before one of them got hurt and would regret their actions. If something went wrong with injury to the growing pups, they would never forgive each other. InuYasha being himself would have more psychological problems than he already had.

“IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME `SNORING' THEN GET OUT OF MY ROOM!” Sesshomaru yelled as InuTaisho climbed the steps once again to get to their chambers.

Smack!

Sesshomaru was hit in the face with a pillow. The object being a pillow, you would think it wouldn't hurt! But it was practically hurled at his head.

“Fine! I WILL! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SUCH A BITCH ABOUT IT!” snarled InuYasha as he grabbed his hakama's and stormed out of the room slamming the doors behind him.

“I WASN'T THE ONE WHO'S BEING A BITCH! YOU'RE THE ONE STARTED IT!” Sesshomaru called after his raging brother who slammed the door behind him. Huffing the dog demon settled himself back into his bed pulling the silken covers over him angrily as he snorted and went back to sleep.

InuTaisho heard the door slam. Wincing he hurried. He thought of going back down the stairs to continue eating his dinner but thought to check on them just in case.

InuYasha stormed down the hall flustered with anger. Breaking a few priceless vases on his way to his old room that had be used as a spare room for royal guests he opened it and slammed the door behind him. The angered demon snarled to his self as he locked the door behind him and climbed into his bed. Angrily he muttered to himself as he fell asleep.

InuTaisho had reached the corridor which looked like a mess as vases were smashed on the stone floor. Sighing he decided wisely to just let the angry demons cool down on their own. For now the Lord of the west would call servants up to there to clean up the destruction while he went back to join his mate in the dining hall.
