InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Unforeseen Obstacles ❯ So tired of needing you so much… ( Chapter 9 )

Disclaimer: I don't know Rumiko Takahashi, so I can't say I own any of this. Now the warning: YAOI. That's right, man lovin' man. If you don't like that, you don't have to read another word. If you don't like my pairing, you don't have to read it, but you'll be missing out! I'm constantly reading InuYasha fics with pairings I don't like just because I like the story. But if you don't like my story, please be polite when you tell me. And also, tell me why. Or if you do like it, review and write whatever you want, LOL. If you've noticed the titles to the chapters, a few of you may have had a familiar twinge. Yes, they are little pieces of lyrics and belong to Stabbing Westward (I miss you, SW!). I love using song lyrics as chapter titles. Some even sneak their way into dialogue and thoughts. I'm not saying where, just crediting the song at the end.

 

Notes: Control issues and leaving the forest behind…

 

Genre: Drama, romance… Whatever I classified this as, I'm sure angst will sneak its stinky butt in here.

Rating: R

Codes: Mir/Sess, Mir/San, Inu/Kag

Feedback: Reviews are something that give me a happy little thrill. They're also making my muse purr and chatter.

Unforeseen Obstacles…Chapter 9

I'm so tired of living for your touch. I'm so tired of needing you so much…

Just before sunrise, Miroku awoke. He groaned at the ache that still hadn't left him. There was a small stream at the edge of the village that he decided would do him some good, so he got up quietly and stepped over the sleeping forms on the ground. He was surprised to see InuYasha was already up when he stepped outside.

 

“He's out in the forest,” InuYasha said, not bothering to look at the monk.

 

“Zetsumei?” Miroku asked, suddenly on alert.

 

“My brother.”

 

“I… don't understand,” said Miroku, uneasy. InuYasha snorted and stepped off the railing he was sitting on.

 

“Please. Don't think I can't smell him all over you when you come back to camp,” InuYasha growled, brushing past Miroku on his way back inside. Miroku froze, staring ahead, but InuYasha didn't even pause as he went back inside and slid the door shut. Miroku looked at the forest, then turned the other way to the stream. He walked down to the water and took off his clothes behind a large boulder. He felt someone watching him, but he ignored the feeling and stepped into the water. Once he was completely submerged into the freezing water, he relaxed as much as he could.

 

“Damn it,” he muttered. The water made him ache down to the bone. It did everything it was supposed to, but he knew it was temporary.

 

“You could have come into the woods,” a voice declared behind him. Miroku didn't turn around. He simply sunk lower into the water. A few moments later, a small wave pushed against him and he knew he was no longer alone in the stream. Still, he refused to turn. He jumped forward when Sesshomaru caressed his uncovered butt and finally spun to face him, angry. But the sight of Sesshomaru standing naked in the water, only his shoulders and head above it, his hair floating around him, as liquid as the water itself, was something he couldn't stand against. He let the water support him for a moment, then stepped closer. But he stopped when he realized he could still see some of the town. He usually had the shield of night and trees to hide this. Now, the first rays of the day were sliding along the ground, bringing light and color to their tryst.

 

“Why play these games, Sesshomaru?” Miroku asked.

 

“What games? I am bathing,” Sesshomaru responded, dipping his head back so that all his long white hair was wet down. Miroku's hands curled into firsts under the water. He was so frustrated he felt he was about to lose his temper. Then an idea struck him. He let go of the frustration as he remembered the words Sesshomaru had begun this with.

 

“I can tell that you are as frustrated as I,” Miroku repeated. Sesshomaru froze and turned, very slowly, to the monk.

 

“Control.” Sesshomaru said.

 

“What?” Miroku was confused. Then a pale hand shot out of the water, grabbing him by the back of his neck. Miroku could vaguely see the rose stripes, right next to his cheek.

 

“This is what you take from me!” Sesshomaru hissed. Miroku finally understood.

 

“You think I want this? What do I have to do to make you understand, that I am just as fucked as you?” Sesshomaru's eyes widened. Miroku grabbed the taiyoukai by the back of his head, sinking his fingers into the heavy hair and lifted him in the water to meet his lips. “You seduced me,” Miroku whispered after breaking the kiss. He marveled at the heat of Sesshomaru's body, despite the freezing water they stood in. He kissed him again, desperate and craving his skin. Sesshomaru finally complied and put his arm around Miroku, bringing their bodies close to slide across each other in the water. Miroku's body sucked up the heat of Sesshomaru's and he felt the youkai's arousal against his. He moved against it, seeking friction and felt Sesshomaru respond and press back. Suddenly, Sesshomaru froze and turned around. Miroku yelled this time. “Kuso!”

 

“I thought you two might want to get dressed before anyone finds you. The village is awake.”

 

“I didn't think you cared, brother,” Sesshomaru said.

 

“Feh,” InuYasha responded and walked off. Miroku cursed again as Sesshomaru moved off to the shore. He closed his eyes and let himself sink slowly beneath the water, contemplating staying there.

…

 

Miroku was in a foul mood the entire rest of the day. They had left the forest behind to walk in the mountains. He didn't know how Sesshomaru could be so calm and composed if he felt even half of what he, himself, was feeling. He kept his mouth closed to prevent the scathing comments that kept coming to his mind. He had been so close to relieving some of this tension. He sighed. I suppose it's my fault for going to the stream rather than the forest, he grumbled even in his mind.

 

His mood was largely responsible for why he decided to take on the lizard demon that sprang into the path on his own. InuYasha insisted he could take care of it easily, but Miroku needed to work off some steam. InuYasha stood back and laughed when Miroku was knocked on his ass.

 

“Why don't you use the wind tunnel?”

 

“Too easy,” Miroku muttered, slicing the thing in half with his staff. Feeling a little better, Miroku stopped feeling the need to rip people's heads off for innocent comments. That night as they made camp, Sesshomaru didn't immediately take off, so he was there when Kagome pulled some candy out of her backpack.

 

“I almost forgot!” Kagome chirped. “I brought everyone some chocolate!” Miroku saw Sesshomaru's nose twitch as he eyed her, curious about the foreign word. “Want some?” she asked, holding a bar out to him.

 

“I do not eat human food,” Sesshomaru responded.

 

“This isn't food, it's chocolate!” Kagome said, closing her eyes and grinning. Sesshomaru's eyebrow rose at that, but he tentatively reached out and took the candy bar from her. He nibbled on the end, and then looked up in surprise. He turned and walked off with the entire candy bar. Kagome laughed and resumed passing out the chocolate.

 

“Hey!” InuYasha yelled when he was given half a bar. “You let him have a whole one!”

 

“Oh, hush, InuYasha,” Kagome said, giving the other half to Shippo. Miroku smiled when he received his half. He should have stayed, I'm sure it would have pleased him to no end to know he got more than his brother. He ate his candy before InuYasha finished his and began looking around to bully someone else out of theirs.

(ducks down to hide from the angry mob) Yes, it's coming! Hold your citrus! The more reviews, the faster it will come, heheheh. Bits of Stabbing Westward come from “Control”, “What Do I Have To Do?”, “Save Yourself” and “Drugstore”.
