Any relationship takes time to build true trust and lasting bonds, right? How much more for our favorite pair of Inus? Love is a journey, or so I've been told, lol. Have patience with me, we will get there. This one might be a tad long, but lots of content is sometimes a good thing (crosses fingers).

Scene 23 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Later That Day

* When Inuyasha wakes up alone in the big bed he stretches, then sits up. He realizes that he feels a little more energized. He also feels that his pups have grown a little stronger inside him. As he hugs his middle he remembers what Sesshomaru had done that morning.

Inuyasha- (Quietly) so.. that's why I have to.. stay close to him...

* Inuyasha closes his eyes. He is so lost in his thoughts, that he doesn't notice Sesshomaru enter.

Inuyasha- (Quietly) I need that, but.. I can't help but want... more....

* Sesshomaru moves closer to the bed. Inuyasha starts and looks up at his brother.

Sesshomaru- It's just me. You should have sensed me... You are distracted again, Little Brother. What is bothering you now?

* Suddenly, Inuyasha huffs and looks away.

Inuyasha- Nothing that you would know about!

* Sesshomaru studies Inuyasha, reminding himself, 'I must stay patient with the hanyou during these times of...' Then, it dawns on the full demon.

Sesshomaru- You are a hanyou...
Inuyasha- Feh!! Big news, idiot!

* Almost immediately Inuyasha folds his ears back and lowers his head.

Sesshomaru- You are.. half human... Now, I think I understand your words from the garden earlier.

* Inuyasha looks up startled, flinching back when Sesshomaru growls at himself.

Sesshomaru- Inuyasha, I claimed you as my mate.

* Inuyasha quickly sinks to bow his face to the mattress under the tone of his Alpha's words.

Inuyasha- I didn't mean to anger you...
Sesshomaru- You are my mate...
Inuyasha- Yes, I am yours, M'Lord...

* Sesshomaru catches himself, then forces his dominant aura to ebb away.

Sesshomaru- Inuyasha, straighten up and look up at me.

* Inuyasha hesitantly obeys. His ears stay low when he sees his brother's scowl.

Sesshomaru- Pup,.. when I claimed you... I claimed all of you.

* The hanyou tilts his head puzzled.

Sesshomaru- You are half demon.. and half human... I am a full inu demon.. Every part of my life is lived by my instincts.. By my demon nature... Do you understand what this means?

* Inuyasha lowers his eyes, thinking quietly.

Inuyasha- (Quietly) You're only doing this... because it's your instinct...
Sesshomaru- I accepted you during our week of rut, as much as you had to accept me... My duty is to protect you, provide for you, and to help raise our pups...
Inuyasha- Yes. You are doing all of these things...
Sesshomaru- Yet you require more?

* Inuyasha closes his eyes and sighs deeply.

Sesshomaru- What is this.. more... that you desire?
Inuyasha- Sessh, my demon side understands all of these things...
Sesshomaru- But your human side does not?
Inuyasha- It's not you... It's me that has to.. learn.. how to be your proper mate...

* Sesshomaru looks down at his brother a long moment.

Sesshomaru- Very well. I shall continue to be patient with these mood swings... Now, lunch has been arrived. Comec eat, then we will share another Spirit-Feeding session.

* Inuyasha looks back up at Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha- Is that what you did out by the pond? Yes, I did enjoy that...

* Sesshomaru reaches down, scritches one of Inuyasha's ears to perk it up, then turns and leaves calmly. Inuyasha sighs quietly, then leaves the bed to follow. He takes his place at the table. But when Sesshomaru begins to eat, though, his mate just stares down at his empty plate.

Sesshomaru- You are not hungry?
Inuyasha- Actually, c-could we.. just.. go to the Spirit-Sharing thing?
Sesshomaru- The food will get cold... But if you prefer to do that...
Inuyasha- Yes, I do. Please,.. s-sir? I'll eat when we're done, I promise.

* Sesshomaru looks away a moment, then stands.

Sesshomaru- Come.

* The Alpha goes over to an alcove where there's a large, flat cushion where he would often come to meditate. He sits down and opens his arms as Inuyasha sits to join him. He calmly embraces his little brother back against his chest gently.

Sesshomaru- Relax and clear your mind, Pup.

* Inuyasha closes his eyes and nods. In a few moments, Sesshomaru's energy surrounds them once more. Inuyasha soon sighs deeply and snuggles back more into the embrace.

Inuyasha- This feels... sooo.. good.
Sesshomaru- (Quietly) It will keep our pups healthy.
Inuyasha- Ummm, yes... It brings us together, too...

* Sesshomaru tilts his head, but doesn't respond. When the session is over, the hanyou almost whimpers as he feels the aura pull away. Sesshomaru drops his arms, but Inuyasha doesn't move.

Sesshomaru- That is enough for today, Inuyasha.. You need to go eat.

* Reluctantly, Inuyasha stands and goes over to reclaim his place at the table. Sesshomaru stays put a moment to watch his mate begin to eat slowly. He then stands and goes back over to his place at the table. Inuyasha keeps his eyes down, lost in his thoughts. Sesshomaru, who'd been monitoring them, finally speaks up.

Sesshomaru- Enough of that!

* Inuyasha looks up, wide-eyed.

Sesshomaru- Why are you thinking such things?
Inuyasha- Th-things...?
Sesshomaru- You know I can read your thoughts.. Why are you plotting ways to rid yourself of your human side?
Inuyasha- Oh, yeah.. the d--- bond... s---...
Sesshomaru- It would not be good to destroy half of yourself.
Inuyasha- I want to please you...
Sesshomaru- You do please me.. except for this depression that you've sunk into... It's a...
Inuyasha- Human fault, I know... This is what will keep me from fully being what you want me to be...
Sesshomaru- Enough!

* Inuyasha flinches away.

Sesshomaru- Eat.

* Inuyasha quietly moves back to continue nibbling on the leg of what was once some type of large bird.

Sesshomaru- There are three types of hanyous, Inuyasha.
Inuyasha- Three?
Sesshomaru- Full demons recognize them by classification. First, Second, and Third. You, my mate, are of the First class. Hanyous created on purpose for replenishing the numbers of a noble demon clan.
Inuyasha- Like ours.
Sesshomaru- Correct... Second class hanyous are those created from two consenting demons from different species because of necessity or attraction.

* Inuyasha glances up at Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha- Attraction? -- Doesn't that require the emotion of love?
Sesshomaru- I was speaking of demon heats...
Inuyasha- Oh.. yeah.

* Sesshomaru looks at Inuyasha a moment.

Sesshomaru- Of course full demons can show many ranges of emotions that humans do.

* Inuyasha nods, realizing the his thoughts were once again read.

Sesshomaru- Third class hanyous are created purely from young demons who care not whether they sate their lusts on humans... These humans are usually unconsenting... These type of hanyous are shunned because of the shame involved in their creation... A demon's show of unrestraint... These types of hanyous most always show very little or no intelligence, are most often of more animalistic forms.. and quite ugly... Now do you understand?

* Inuyasha slowly nods.

Inuyasha- Yeah... You would consider it a shame to... lose your restraint with me.

* Now Sesshomaru leans forward on the table, lowering his eyes as Inuyasha stands.

Inuyasha- Excuse me, Alpha... I need to rest again.

* Sesshomaru looks up, but quietly just nods. Not sure on what else he can say to help his mate understand, still not fully understanding it himself. Silently, though, he hopes for a way to get past these emotions of his mate. Slowly he raises his golden eyes, a new light beginning to dawn in them.
