Scene 33 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three Days Later

* Over the past three days, Inuyasha's irritability grows. Sesshomaru relies on his excellent ability to stay calm to deal with his young mate's situation. The bond helps to keep him aware of how Inuyasha feels. But always, afterward, the hanyou returns to apologize for his behavior once he calms down. This morning, Sesshomaru is roused awake, after a near sleepless night, as Inuyasha rolls around and growls on the large bed. Sesshomaru sits up with a growl of his own, not fully awake and caught offguard for one of the rare times.

Sesshomaru- Pup,...!
Inuyasha- This d---ed mattress.. isn't comfortable... D--- it to h---!
Sesshomaru- Then sleep on the floor...!

* It snaps Sesshomaru fully awake when Inuyasha whimpers and works himself off of the bed. The demon Lord realizes his momentary lapse of control as he watches his brother move over to a far corner.

Sesshomaru- Puppy, I.. didn't mean that.

* Inuyasha just lays down, placing his back to Sesshomaru. The Inu rubs his eyes, then goes over to sit behind Inuyasha. He lays a hand on his side.

Sesshomaru- You caught me half awake.. I'm sorry... You tossed nearly all night.

* Inuyasha raises a hand to lay on his, but says nothing.

Sesshomaru- Shall I call for an early breakfast? Food always cheers you up.

* Inuyasha shakes his head. Sesshomaru cocks an eyebrow surprised.

Sesshomaru- You've never been too upset to refuse food...
Inuyasha- (Quietly) I'm not hungry.
Sesshomaru- You're not...

* Sesshomaru feels his mate's sincerity.

Sesshomru- No, you're not... Are you feeling well?

* Inuyasha glances a look over his shoulder at his older brother. He then sighs and stands.

Inuyasha- I just want to be left alone...

* Sesshomaru watches, puzzled, as the hanyou goes into the large, cave-like closet. As he stands Inuyasha starts to throw all of their robes and garments out of the closet.

Sesshomaru- Inu-,..?


* His white, fluffy boa hits him in the face. The demon pulls it down to look into the closet again.

Sesshomaru- Inuyasha, what are you...?
Inuyasha- They're crowding this room up!
Sesshomaru- It's a closet...

* Inuyasha tosses a couple more out.

Inuyasha- It's my room, now!
Sesshomaru- Puppy, I apologized...
Inuyasha- This has nothing to do with that!

* Sesshomaru thinks a moment as he tries to analyze the feelings he's getting from his mate. finally, it clicks in his mind.

Sesshomaru- (Quietly) You're.. denning...

* Sesshomaru looks up to study the closet. He'd never noticed before how much it does resemble the mouth of a cave. Inuyasha comes back out, sniffs around, then moves to him to retrieve the fluffy boa. He smiles timidly up at Sesshomaru, shrugs, then hurries back inside clutching the boa. Sesshomaru gathers up the rest of their clothes and tosses them over onto the bed. The demon Lord then turns to sit on the bed. Reading his thoughts about their impending event, Inuyasha comes back to stand at the closet entrance.

Sesshomaru- Puppy, it's okay... I want you to relax and do whatever you feel that you must.
Inuyasha- I've made a mess..
Sesshomaru- Don't worry about it. There are other closets.
Inuyasha- I just.. need to be in here...
Sesshomaru- Your instincts are guiding you...
Inuyasha- But.. I'm not due for another..
Sesshomaru- When I spoke to the healer the other day she told me that some first litters will arrive early... I should alert her.
Inuyasha- Will it.. violate our.. seperation?
Sesshomaru- No.


* Sesshomaru stands and goes over to Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru- I trust Lohana with my life, Pup. I will feel more at ease with her here.

* Inuyasha allows Sesshomaru to kiss him, then turns and disappears back into the closet. The white demon goes out to touch the resonant stone.

Sesshomaru- Lady Lohana. Are you there?

* When the healer responds quickly Sesshomaru nods.

Lohana- Hai, M'Lord.
Sesshomaru- My mate is beginning to den.. in our closet...

* Sesshomaru notices movement and looks to watch Inuyasha pulling the meditating cushion out of the alcove.

Lohana- Den? Are you sure?
Sesshomaru- Quite.

* When Inuyasha looks at him pausing Sesshomaru nods his permission for him to use the thick, round cushion. Inuyasha continues on into the bedroom.

Sesshomaru- He's been more irritable the last couple days... He couldn't sleep last night.. This morning he is refusing food... Now he is using my meditation cushion for a nest in the closet.
Lohana- Sounds like all the right signs.
Sesshomaru- I want you up here.
Lohana- I will be right up.. Has your bond completed?
Sesshomaru- Yes. Come up as soon as you can. The door will be unlocked for you.
Lohana- On my way, Sire.

* Sesshomaru removes his hand from the stone, unlocks the main door, then hurries back into the bedroom. He moves to peer into the dimly-lit closet. Inuyasha is laying on his side on the cushion, hugging his boa, and panting slightly.

Sesshomaru- She is on her way up, Pup.. She won't hurt you.


* Inuyasha just nods and closes his eyes tightly. Sesshomaru can feel the first sharp stab of phantom pain that his mate experiences. It isn't long until the healer, a dragon demoness that looks fairly young, comes in to peer into the closet beside him.

Sesshomaru- I think his pains have started.
Lohana- Ask him if I may enter.
Inuyasha- No! I don't need her yet...
Sesshomaru- 'Yasha,...

* Lohana touches Sesshomaru's arm.

Lohana- (Quietly) Do not aggravate him.. When he is ready he will call for me.
Inuyasha- Yeah! What she said!!

* Sesshomaru watches the healer smile.

Lohana- Of course, M'Lord! Just stay calm.
Inuyasha- Easy.. for you to... say!

* Lohana chuckles and looks up at Sesshomaru.

Lohana- Now I see the resemblence.


* Sesshomaru just turns and sinks to sit down on the floor beside the closet entrance.

Lohana- Send calming thoughts through the bond to him, M'Lord.

* Sesshomaru nods and closes his eyes to concentrate. Lohana eases down to sit and wait as well.
