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.

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

Why did I leave? How cowardly. Sesshomaru does not run from adversity. The youkai looked down the hill at his half-brother's party. They were making camp for the night, far too close to his own people for him to ignore. I just can't learn to forget. Now I'm choking on the memories, choking on regret. This was the last time the two paths came this close until they converged in a week's travel. He would get there first by almost a day. InuYasha's path was shorter, but they had to get past a huge block that would slow them down by most of a day. I am already afflicted; I cannot get him out of my mind. I could reform us into one group again. The thought actually made him happy, so he didn't hesitate another moment. There was no reason for him to suffer. I shall just take what I want. Everyone and everything else be damned.

 

Sesshomaru stood and walked down the hill. He was pleased to see Miroku walking off on his own and corrected his course to meet him just past a stand of dead trees. He quickened his pace when Miroku reached the destination he had planned and stepped out into the moonlight, determined to take what was his. Miroku froze when he stepped into his path and Sesshomaru halted at the scent of tears. Did I cause those? He wondered absently.

…

 

Miroku was taking a walk to clear his mind and keep himself from breaking down in front of his friends. He wasn't tired enough to sleep and every time he tried, all he could see was Sesshomaru, leaving without saying a word. I need to know why. I need… Sesshomaru. As though conjured by his name, the demon stepped into the moonlight, framed by the lunar glow. Miroku was immobilized with shock. Sesshomaru stopped and the monk saw his nose twitch. So, he knows I've been crying, Miroku thought. Rather than the relief that he had believed he would feel at the sight of his lover, he was filled with an appertaining rage. He turned and walked the other way, angry and hurt. But he only made it three steps before Sesshomaru grabbed his shoulder and spun him around.

 

“I will not suffer this loss of you, again and again and again,” Sesshomaru said, pulling the monk close. Miroku remained stiff as he was pressed against the taiyoukai's chest. “I refuse to continue to live in this perpetual nightmare. I decide, it ends right here.”

 

“Why did you leave?” Miroku asked, hating the sound of his own voice at that moment. He sounded so… lost.

 

“I needed to think. I didn't want to care for you. I wanted only to fuck you,” Sesshomaru said, admitting the truth out loud in all its barbaric vulgarity. “But you crawled inside my mind when you crawled into my bed.” Miroku looked up into Sesshomaru's golden eyes and his tears fell. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. But he couldn't take a chance he was mistaken, either. He knew what he was about to ask would be very hard for Sesshomaru to say, but this was a time where it needed to be said.

 

“What are you saying?” Miroku asked softly. Sesshomaru made a sound of exasperation. He pulled Miroku close and held him there until he relaxed.

 

“Aishiteru,” Sesshomaru growled, wondering why humans must make everything so difficult and complicated. Having to say such a thing… But at the same time, it also caused a relief within him. He had no idea he felt so strongly for Miroku. He hadn't known he even cared until tenseiga nearly failed. `Why love them?' his words haunted him, but he finally had an answer, unsatisfying as it might be. Love them because there is no choice. Protect them because you will miss them if anything happens to them. Miss them because you love them. Love them because some, just some, deserve it. “What shall we do?”

 

“Meekurabu,” Miroku answered, untying Sesshomaru's sash and claiming his lips.

…

 

They lay next to each other after they finished making love, watching the clouds move across the moon in the night sky.

 

“Every time I close my eyes, I see your face,” Miroku whispered as he drifted near sleep. “I don't know whether to keep my eyes open or drift off to sleep.” He smiled and looked over to Sesshomaru, who was looking at him intensely. “What?”

 

“When I am alone, I cannot think of anything but to be with you. But now we lay naked on the floor, I'm lost, I'm drowning in your soul. I love you, I hate you every night. This longing for your soul has got me scared. You are everything, you are the air I breathe.”

 

“I can't sleep another night without you,” Miroku said, drifting off. “You killed something in me when you left. Never leave me again.”

 

“I won't leave you. Just promise to kiss me before you go…” Sesshomaru said softly to his sleeping lover.
