Scene 39 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Morning

* Sesshomaru is dressing in his formal white ceremonial robe when he feels Inuyasha's nervousness. He turns to find his mate once again peering out of the closet.

Sesshomaru- Yes, Pup. It is necessary.

* Inuyasha sighs.

Inuyasha- They won't be harmed?
Sesshomaru- I thought you trusted me.
Inuyasha- I trust you... It's everyone else that I...
Sesshomaru- I will have Tenseiga and you will have Tetsusaiga. Relax.

* Sesshomaru embraces Inuyasha.

Inuyasha- Okay. I'll try. D--- I hate formalities...
Sesshomaru- You get dressed while I go get the basket.

* The hanyou watches his brother leave the bedroom. His instincts niggle him that Sesshomaru has been this territory's Lord for as long as he's been alive. He sighs and moves to the bed where his own ceremonial garb is laid out. It surprises him when he finds that the robe now has red and gold embroidery trimming it throughout. Sesshomaru returns, smiles slightly, then goes over to Inuyasha. He uses one of his arms to embrace his young mate as he places the basket on the bed. He nuzzles an ear as he speaks.

Sesshomaru- (Quietly) You like? I had the Head Seamstress do the altering.
Inuyasha- You.. did this.. for me?
Sesshomaru- Indeed. Here, allow me to help you.. undress...

* Inuyasha lowers his eyes, but gives no protests as Sesshomaru slowly unties the red yukata that he's currently wearing. For a couple moments, the demon Lord allows his hands to lightly caress his mates sides.

Inuyasha- I thought.. we were going to a.. Ceremony...
Sesshomaru- Umm, point taken... Perhaps we'll indulge further after the Presentation... Do you remember everything I told you last night?
Inuyasha- Yeah, yeah.. I'll try to behave myself so I won't embarrass you.

* Sesshomaru chuckles.

Sesshomaru- As long as you remember that you are not to interfere with any of the proceeding we will be fine...
Inuyasha- So I gotta be the perfect Uke...

* Sesshomaru pats Inuyasha's rear.

Sesshomaru- Just for this morning, Love. They must see that you are willing to do whatever is necessary to stand by my side.
Inuyasha- To support your hoity toity a--.. I get it.

* Sesshomaru helps Inuyasha put the ceremonial robe on, pulling his hair free.

Sesshomaru- Just don't forget who's.. hoity toity a--.. you'll be groping afterwards.

* Inuyasha rolls his eyes, picks up the basket, and turns to look up at his regal Alpha. Again, that feeling of dread returns and his ears droop. Sesshomaru leans to brush his cheek with an elegant hand and his lips with his own.

Sesshomaru- (Whispered) Please.. trust me.

* Finally Inuyasha nods. He then slips past Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru- I'll go tell Jaken that we're on our way, Pup.

* Inuyasha watches Sesshomaru start toward the door.

Inuyasha- Sessh,..

* Sesshomaru turns to look at him.

Inuyasha- I know the.. importance.. of the firstborn...
Sesshomaru- Of course I will love them all, 'Yasha.
Inuyasha- Yeah.. It's just that I.. we both know what jealousy...
Sesshomaru- While neither of us will purposely do anything to encourage such feelings in them..They are siblings.. Inu siblings... There is always bound to be something that they will fight over... We cannot interfere in such minor disputes as they establish their ranks.
Inuyasha- As long as they don't kill each other.
Sesshomaru- We will not allow that.

* Inuyasha nods and disappears into the closet. Sesshomaru leaves the bedroom.
