His Reasons to Live
Yusuke was starting to get a bit nervous. He glanced back to see Kurama and Hiei still chasing after him. He ducked under a branch and swiftly weaved his way through the forest. He had led the two demons away from the shrine and near a local forest. 'Dammit, Kagome owes me big time! I can't believe I'm doing this. I should have let her used her Miko abilities.' He flipped over a fallen log and used it to bound up into the branches into another tree.
He never expected for the branch to break under his weight. But what surprised him the most is that the tree caught him mid-fall. 'HOLY SHIT! IT'S A KILLER TREE!.......wait...that could only mean...'
"Running is futile..." Kurama said as he walked out of the foliage. Hiei was behind him, his sword out and in a tight grip.
Yusuke just tilted his head to the side. He knew if he talked, his identity was given away. He instead went with the silent treatment. Hiei growled, but Kurama put a hand out to stop the half koorime from attacking.
"Kurama!" Hiei hissed. Kurama glanced at the smaller demon and walked up to the cloaked figure. Yusuke grinned as Kurama got within kicking range. He swung his leg up and kicked Kurama in the face. He then flexed his arms and broke the branches with a bit of help from his spirit energy. Hiei jumped forward only to be hit with a piece of bark. "DAMMIT! STOP THROWING THAT!" He growled. Yusuke stopped and grinned. He knelt down and wrote something in the dirt with his finger. He then blew on the symbol. The symbol glowed as the dust kicked up and swirled around Kurama and Hiei.
"What the...?" Kurama said before coughing because of a mouth full of sand. Hiei covers his mouth with his white scarf and his eyes with his hand.
"Dammit, let us out of this sandstorm!" Hiei yelled. The sandstorm suddenly dropped. The two demons looked up to see no one there.
"His scent, energy, and trail is all gone...it's like he disappeared." Kurama said as he got the sand out of his eyes. "Let's get back to Koenma..." Hiei glared at the spot where some of the symbol was still seen as the fox walked away.
"How the hell did that creature learn to manipulate power like that?" He asked himself before bounding off after Kurama.
Two pair of eyes looked down from the sky as the two demons left. Yusuke sighed and patted the pale yellow fur under him. A purr sounded in the air. He smiled and looked down at the demon between his legs, still petting its fur.
"Thank Kirara...I don't know what I would do if they got to me." Kirara growled softly in agreement. After Yusuke had done his little sand trick, Kirara appeared out of nowhere and picked him off of the ground and went straight into the air. "I'll have to thank Kagome for sending you after me I guess?" Kirara nodded as she began to fly through the air.
Yusuke sighed and let his hood down allowing the wind to muse his hair. "I guess this is what its like to be free eh Kirara?" The hi-neko mewed in agreement as Sesshomaru's mansion appeared at the horizon. "So much for freedom...I bet Fluffy is going to scold me for being so damn reckless." Yusuke made a sour face as Kirara laughed at him in her own way. "Not funny... this is going to be a pain in the ass."
OoOoOo
"You Baka! You could have been caught!" Yusuke rolled his eyes as his children giggled. Okay...so it was Kagome yelling at him with Sesshomaru.
"Yusuke, you were reckless...if they caught you they would know your injures were from Marutsuma." The taiyoukai spoke.
"And what would they do? Kill me?" Yusuke ran a hand through his hair. After Kirara landed, she transformed into her smaller form and jumped onto Yusuke's shoulder. They got inside only to be greeted by stoic inu-youkai and a worried, yet pissed miko.
"If it wasn't for Kirara they probably would have!" Kagome yelled. "Marutsuma was the king of hell's son Yusuke. I'm sure he's out for blood."
"Keh..." Yusuke crossed his arms and looked at Sesshomaru.
"Do not act so casual Yusuke. This is a serious matter." The taiyoukai stood from his seat and crossed over to the young Toushin. "I know Youko personally. If he was really interested in finding you...he would."
"I'll be fine," Yusuke waved it off. "Ain't that right Kirara?" He looked at the neko. Kirara looked at him with her red eyes then hopped off his shoulder. She went to Nefertiri and cuddled up with the young girl. "Traitor..." Yusuke murmured. He then looked at Sesshomaru. "How do you know Youko?"
"He tried to steal from me when Makai was born. That doesn't matter though." Sesshomaru said.
"Yusuke, I think you should be a little more inconspicuous." Kagome said as she sat next to the young man.
"Fine..." Yusuke rolled his eye.
"Yusuke, you have to take this seriously." Sesshomaru said. He then glanced at the kids then switched into a demon language only used in Makai. "What if you were caught and killed? What of your children?" Yusuke glared up at Sesshomaru.
"No one will take me away from my children until I let them. I am not pathetic Sesshomaru." He hissed back at the demon lord. "Now, if you'll excuse me...I have to put the brats to bed and take a shower."
"Aw...can't we watch you two verbally fight still?" Nefertiri asked.
"Yea, it's fun to see the faces dad makes when he talks Makaian to Uncle Sessho." Susa said with a smirk. His father sighed and rubbed his temple.
"We'll yell tomorrow just for you okay?" Yusuke said as he looked at his kids.
"YAY!" Susa and Nefertiri cheered. Kirara laughed in her own way as she jumped back onto Yusuke's shoulder.
"Why does it seem like I just got trapped into doing what they wanted?" He smiled.
"Because you did, idiot." Kagome chided playfully. Yusuke smirked and ushered the kids inside with Kirara on his shoulder.
OoOoOo
Yusuke stepped out of the private shower in just a towel. Kirara mewed as she watched Yusuke dry his hair with another towel. He pulled the towel away from his good eye to look at her.
"What? Too sexy for you Kirara?" Yusuke asked and flexed a bit. Kirara mewed with laughter as Yusuke smiled. He walked over to the full length mirror and let the towel on his head drop away. Kirara's laughing stopped when she saw Yusuke's scar. The young man traced the scar with his right hand and stared at it in the mirror. "For my carelessness eh?" He said to Kirara.
The small fire-neko jumped off the bed and went to Yusuke's leg. She purred comfortingly as she rubbed against his leg. Yusuke knelt down and picked up the neko. "You've always been there for me. So no hiding anything from you." He smiled when she meowed and pawed at him playfully. Yusuke laughed and put Kirara down and went for the bed.
Laying down, Yusuke thought about what will happen now. He had to hide...he was a murderer after all. Kirara jumped onto his stomach and stared at him. She mewed and pawed at his stomach. Yusuke lifted his head and looked at her. "What?"
Kirara glared at him and jumped on his stomach.
"Oof!" Yusuke's hands caught the small neko as he raised an eyebrow. "I'm guessing you want to go to the library." The neko just nodded and glared. Yusuke sighed and sat up. "Fine, let me get a pair of pants on and re-wrap my eye and we'll go." Kirara smiled and jumped off the bed and sat on the little pillow on the floor.
Yusuke got up and let his towel drop to the ground. Going to the dresser and pulled out a pair of cotton pants. He pulled them on and slowly walked to the table beside the door. There was a note and some bandages. He ignored the note and took the bandages and dressed his eye again. Once Yusuke was done he glanced at the note and then left the room. Kirara quickly raced after him and jumped on his shoulder.
"Seems Kagome put the kids to bed Kirara. So I guess we can got to the Library and read something." Yusuke said with a small smile as he entered the library. Yusuke scanned the books as he slowly walked through the rows of shelves. Kirara sat on Yusuke's shoulder content on where she was. She enjoyed his company and he enjoyed hers. It was a mutual satisfaction for both of them. To have someone understand with them, not caring about the species barrier.
An hour later Yusuke was reading a book, leaning against the bookcase with Kirara on his head. She too was interested in this book. It was about the realm of Hell and the family that ruled over it. Yusuke was just about to get onto the chapter about the relationship between the King, Queen, and their son when he heard it. The sound made him drop the book and immediately bolt out of the library with Kirara in front of him.
Another scream ripped through the air of the house.
Kagome and Sesshomaru raced up from their conversation in the kitchen to the children's room. They found the door already broken in and thrown to the floor. Their eyes turned to the bed to see Yusuke with both his kids in his lap. Kirara was in Nefertiri's arms as Yusuke ran his hands through Susa's hair. The expression on the father's face was frightening, he was that scary kind of calm that Yusuke Urameshi should never be.
"What happened?" Kagome asked.
"Nightmares...about me killing Marutsuma...." Yusuke replied slowly.
"Oh god...." Kagome said. Sesshomaru walked to Yusuke and grabbed his chin with his left hand and forced him to look up. Yusuke growled at Sesshomaru. His eyes were a dark brown with a ring around the outside.
"Yusuke snap out of it!" Sesshomaru growled back. "You are not endanger...you are among friends. Drop your guard...." Yusuke glared at Sesshomaru.
"I'm fine, what the hell are you talking about?" Yusuke replied icily. Kagome frowned. This was the Yusuke that was always on guard, always alert, always protective of his children. This was the Yusuke who barely recognized his friends.
"Yusuke..." Sesshomaru sighed. "You leave me with no choice...." His right hand glowed green with poison. Yusuke jerked his head back from Sesshomaru only to have Sesshomaru tighten his hold. "Goodnight Yusuke..." Sesshomaru slid his glowing right hand to Yusuke lower back and pressed two fingers, one on each side of his spinal cord. Yusuke's body jerked, his eyes drooping before he fell forward into Sesshomaru's arms.
"Sesshomaru..." Kagome stepped forward. "Should I take the children to his room?"
"Yes, I allow Yusuke to sleep in my bed. Kagome...I need you to erase the children's memories..." The taiyoukai said as he carefully lifted Yusuke into his arms. Susa stirred and rose out of bed. He looked up at Sesshomaru with his father.
"Uncle Sessho?" He rubbed his eyes. "What are you doing with dad?"
"Nothing Susa, Yusuke's just going to take a nap..." Kagome replied as she waved a hand in front of his face. Susa's eyes closed and he fell back onto the bed. "I'll take them to my room with Kirara. You take care of Yusuke..." Kagome picked up both children and walked out of the room. Kirara trailed behind but stopped at the door and looked back at Sesshomaru.
"Mew..." Kirara turned to step back into the room but froze when Sesshomaru spoke.
"No, Kirara keep with the children. Give comfort to them." Kirara hesitated before nodding and running off into the hallway. Sesshomaru sighed and lifted Yusuke into his arms. "That kitten is attached to you, Yusuke..." He said softly to the unconscious form in his arms. Yusuke's head was tilted in toward Sesshomaru's chest, his hands limp on his stomach, and his skin pale. Sesshomaru didn't like Yusuke in this state.
He opened his bedroom door and walked to his bed. Gently putting down Yusuke he began to get dressed for bed. Once in a pair of pant and an unbottoned shirt, Sesshomaru let his human disguise fade to his demonic self. He crawled into bed with Yusuke and laid on his side staring at Yusuke. His free hand reached out and brushed away a few free strands of hair from Yusuke's bandages.
"What am I going to do with you?" Sesshomaru asked himself as he pulled his hand away. He continued to watch the young toushin before him. It was unusual that a person, let alone a man, would make the taiyoukai feel this way. The only other person that made him feel like this was the miko, Kagome. "You, two are similiar, so much so...that it has driven you to accept sexual contact from each other. Yet this does not break your friendship, quite unusual." Sesshomaru's eyes focused on Yusuke's chest moving up and down. "Why is it that both of you compel me to feel this way?"
Yusuke's breath hitched as he began to sweat. A trickle of sweat ran down the side of Yusuke's face. Sesshomaru leaned in and licked the sweat off of his cheek. Yusuke moaned and tilted his head toward Sesshomaru. The Lord of the West leaned in further and lick Yusuke's neck. The young man moved slightly but didn't wake up. Before Sesshomaru knew what he was doing he was hovering over Yusuke's face. His hair fell over his shoulder and landed beside Yusuke's head. Leaning in, Sesshomaru dipped his tongue and traced the line between Yusuke's lips.
Yusuke felt something touch his lips. His head felt light and dizzy as he opened his eyes. All he saw was white. Yusuke blinked slightly. He wasn't blind in his right eye. The mass of white moved away slightly, giving Yusuke enough room to see who it was.
"S-ses-Sesshomaru?" Yusuke murmured. Sesshomaru's golden amber eyes lifted from Yusuke's lips to his eyes. Yusuke's eyes widened slightly as he blushed. "Wha-what happened?"
Sesshomaru's eyes softened. Yusuke never remembers much of what happened after his phase. Leaning back, giving the young man some room to breath, Sesshomaru was now holding himself with both his arm at each side of Yusuke's waist. He stared down at Yusuke as he moved back a bit and sat up. The young one's hand went to his head as he looked at the Lord of the West.
Yusuke's eyes looked down from Sesshomaru's face to his chest. The Lord's chest was framed by the draping shirt he wore. Yusuke could clearly see the purple stripe on Sesshomaru's waist and wrists. He gulped slightly. 'Nothing like waking up to a drop dead sexy taiyoukai, who is wearing low riding pants.' He said to himself trying to maintain control.
"The children had a nightmare of the incident..." Sesshomaru said softly. His hair flowed down and covered his eye making him look more appealing to Yusuke. "You slipped away..." Yusuke immediately frowned at this.
"I'm...dammit...Not again." He looked down, dropping his hand. Sesshomaru's expression didn't waver as he watched Yusuke mentally beat himself up over this. It was always like this. They told him that he slipped away and he would blame and beat himself up about it. Yusuke had told them how he got like that. His demon blood...it was slowly taking him over. Not in a bad way, but if Yusuke didn't find a mate soon he would slip away for much, much longer. The only people he would recognize would be his children, his mother, and perhaps Kirara. That's why Kagome and Yusuke made a pact.
They've been friends since Kagome came back from the other side of the well. At that time Yusuke was still a spirit detective. He was to investigate the strange energy being released from the well. He found Kagome sealing the well with a bunch of injuries and the complete Shikon-no-tama around her neck. She looked pale and sad. Her eyes were teary and red from crying. Yusuke had taken her into her home, tend to her wounds, then stay with her giving her the comfort she needed at the time. Sesshomaru then arrived and was grateful to see Kagome healed and sleeping. He didn't expect Yusuke to be up, or to know who he was and bow to him.
The memory made Sesshomaru's eyes smile as he sat up on the edge of the bed. His tail curled around Yusuke's waist and caressed his abs, trying to relax the young man. Yusuke looked up at the taiyoukai with tired and beaten eyes. Sesshomaru leaned toward Yusuke and pushed the young toushin back down on the bed. His tail uncurled from Yusuke's waist and wrapped around his own.
"Sleep," He said. "I used my poison to knock you out. It is still in your system, you'll need to sleep it off." Yusuke nodded wearily and got comfortable on the bed.
"Thanks Sessho...." He murmured as he dozed off again. Sesshomaru allowed a small smile to grace his lips as he stood and walked to the plush couch by the fireplace. He sat on it as the fire started. Staring in the red flames, Sesshomaru contemplated his actions. Even moreso, he thought about how he was going to hide Yusuke from the Reikai Realm and their pursuers.
Sesshomaru touched his lips lightly with a clawed hand. This was going to be another problem....his lust. He stared at the fire. No...his lust must wait. Yusuke and the children come first...they are in danger...and Sesshomaru owes Yusuke a lot. Shaking his head, Sesshomaru settled down on the couch and slowly fell asleep.
He didn't notice the pair of sad blue eyes that had watched the intimate scene between the two men. She knew that one day both men would somehow get together. By they way they act around each other is was obvious. Kagome's eyes turned to Yusuke's body. She knew how to move around both the taiyoukai and the hanyou. She masked her scent and moved silently across the room to Yusuke's side. Touching his hand, she sighed and rubbed her cheek against it.
"Kagome..." He whispered as he turned his head and looked at her. "I'm sorry...." Kagome pressed a finger to his lips.
"We both knew this was going to happen one day Yu-chan." She replied quietly. "I guess this means the end of our pact?"
"For my part....I'll keep up my end." He closed his eyes and kissed her hand. "I can't help but feel liked I used you..." Kagome frowned.
"No...it was my decision..." Kagome told him with a squeeze of his hand. "Let's make a new pact...I'll stay with you and be a mother figure for the children, if you promise to try not to slip away again and stay my friend." Yusuke nodded.
"Always..." He said before starting to fall asleep again. Kagome smiled and climbed into bed with him. "It was fun, wasn't it Kag? Making people guess about us and stuff."
"Yea, it was..." Kagome put a hand on Yusuke's chest. Kagome yelped when someone hugged her from behind as they laid down behind her.
"Go to sleep..." Sesshomaru murmured into her ear. His tail spread across the two and pulled them closer to him.
"Oh yes, wise fluffy-sama!" Yusuke replied. Kagome giggled into his shoulder as Sesshomaru growled.
OoOoOo
The next morning Yusuke awoke to his children shaking him up.
"Dad! Come on you missed breakfast." Susa said.
"What did I tell you about waking me up?" Yusuke asked as he sat up and pulled Nefertiri into his lap.
"Beware of your profanties!" Nefertiri said with a smile.
"Not that..." He said tickling his daughter.
"Don't shake, punch?" Susa asked.
"Right. Now, why are you waking me? Certainly not for breakfast." Yusuke looked at them.
"Uncle Sesshomaru said for you to get your ass up and down there." Susa replied.
"Language..."
"Sorry Dad..." Susa grinned.
"Aunt Kagome went home for the day to take care of the shrine. She said she'd be back later." Nefertiri said. Yusuke swung his legs over the bed and stretched.
"Alright..." Yawn. "Tell Fluffy I'll be downstairs as soon as I get dressed."
"'Kay!" They said and raced each other down stairs.
Yusuke shook his head and got off the bed. He walked to Sesshomaru's closet and pulled out a shirt and pair of sweat. When he put them on, the button up shirt was hanging off his shoulder and the pants were low around his hips. He laughed and walked into the bathroom. He changed his bandages around his eye again before heading downstairs.
Sesshomaru looked over his papers at Yusuke. His glasses slid down his nose slightly. He raised an eyebrow at Yusuke as the young man sat down. Yusuke blushed and pulled the shirt up.
"Excuse me for not wanting to walk all the way back to my room for something to get dressed in." He said.
"Sorely, you're not excused." Sesshomaru replied turning back to the papers. Yusuke made a face and glared at him.
"Where are the children?"
"They are out in the garden playing with Jaken and Kirara."
"Oh..." Yusuke looked down at the table and sighed.
"You should eat something." Sesshomaru said looking at the papers still.
Yusuke shook his head. In truth, he probably wouldn't be able to hold anything down. After slipping, his appetite was screwed up. His stomach assumed that everything is bad and makes him throw it up. It happened once that this would go on for days at a time. Sesshomaru and Kagome found him passed out due to lack of nutrients.
"You know I can't..." Yusuke replied.
"Still, you should try." Sesshomaru countered.
"I rather not spend my afternoon in front of a toilet spewing my insides out." Yusuke crossed his arms while looking at Sesshomaru. Sighing, the taiyoukai put aside his papers and walked to Yusuke. The brown eyed toushin tilted his head back to look at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru eyed Yusuke neck and leaned down to kiss it. He smirked as the young man moaned and leaned into the kiss. Sesshomaru pulled away and looked at Yusuke's eyes. Those brown eyes were glazed and shone brightly. The taiyoukai leaned down and kissed Yusuke's lips lightly.
"Well then, later maybe. Yes?" Sesshomaru stood straight. Yusuke moved his head down and stared at the table.
"S-sure..."
"Good, for now...I have an idea to keep you hidden until the right time." Sesshomaru said.
Yusuke looked up at Sesshomaru with his good eye. He knew that he was causing a lot of trouble for the taiyoukai, and was grateful for the help. To have Yusuke hidden for a while, must of cost him something great....or so Yusuke thought.
OoOoOo
Alright. That's it! AHahah. Next Chapter is a Time Jump. So bare with me. A lot will happen between now and then.
Yusuke was starting to get a bit nervous. He glanced back to see Kurama and Hiei still chasing after him. He ducked under a branch and swiftly weaved his way through the forest. He had led the two demons away from the shrine and near a local forest. 'Dammit, Kagome owes me big time! I can't believe I'm doing this. I should have let her used her Miko abilities.' He flipped over a fallen log and used it to bound up into the branches into another tree.
He never expected for the branch to break under his weight. But what surprised him the most is that the tree caught him mid-fall. 'HOLY SHIT! IT'S A KILLER TREE!.......wait...that could only mean...'
"Running is futile..." Kurama said as he walked out of the foliage. Hiei was behind him, his sword out and in a tight grip.
Yusuke just tilted his head to the side. He knew if he talked, his identity was given away. He instead went with the silent treatment. Hiei growled, but Kurama put a hand out to stop the half koorime from attacking.
"Kurama!" Hiei hissed. Kurama glanced at the smaller demon and walked up to the cloaked figure. Yusuke grinned as Kurama got within kicking range. He swung his leg up and kicked Kurama in the face. He then flexed his arms and broke the branches with a bit of help from his spirit energy. Hiei jumped forward only to be hit with a piece of bark. "DAMMIT! STOP THROWING THAT!" He growled. Yusuke stopped and grinned. He knelt down and wrote something in the dirt with his finger. He then blew on the symbol. The symbol glowed as the dust kicked up and swirled around Kurama and Hiei.
"What the...?" Kurama said before coughing because of a mouth full of sand. Hiei covers his mouth with his white scarf and his eyes with his hand.
"Dammit, let us out of this sandstorm!" Hiei yelled. The sandstorm suddenly dropped. The two demons looked up to see no one there.
"His scent, energy, and trail is all gone...it's like he disappeared." Kurama said as he got the sand out of his eyes. "Let's get back to Koenma..." Hiei glared at the spot where some of the symbol was still seen as the fox walked away.
"How the hell did that creature learn to manipulate power like that?" He asked himself before bounding off after Kurama.
Two pair of eyes looked down from the sky as the two demons left. Yusuke sighed and patted the pale yellow fur under him. A purr sounded in the air. He smiled and looked down at the demon between his legs, still petting its fur.
"Thank Kirara...I don't know what I would do if they got to me." Kirara growled softly in agreement.

"You Baka! You could have been caught!" Yusuke rolled his eyes as his children giggled. Okay...so it was Kagome yelling at him with Sesshomaru.
"Yusuke, you were reckless...if they caught you they would know your injures were from Marutsuma." The taiyoukai spoke.
"And what would they do? Kill me?" Yusuke ran a hand through his hair. After Kirara landed, she transformed into her smaller form and jumped onto Yusuke's shoulder. They got inside only to be greeted by stoic inu-youkai and a worried, yet pissed miko.
"If it wasn't for Kirara they probably would have!" Kagome yelled. "Marutsuma was the king of hell's son Yusuke. I'm sure he's out for blood."
"Keh..." Yusuke crossed his arms and looked at Sesshomaru.
"Do not act so casual Yusuke. This is a serious matter." The taiyoukai stood from his seat and crossed over to the young Toushin. "I know Youko personally. If he was really interested in finding you...he would."
"I'll be fine," Yusuke waved it off. "Ain't that right Kirara?" He looked at the neko. Kirara looked at him with her red eyes then hopped off his shoulder. She went to Nefertiri and cuddled up with the young girl. "Traitor..." Yusuke murmured. He then looked at Sesshomaru. "How do you know Youko?"
"He tried to steal from me when Makai was born. That doesn't matter though." Sesshomaru said.
"Yusuke, I think you should be a little more inconspicuous." Kagome said as she sat next to the young man.
"Fine..." Yusuke rolled his eye.
"Yusuke, you have to take this seriously." Sesshomaru said. He then glanced at the kids then switched into a demon language only used in Makai. "What if you were caught and killed? What of your children?" Yusuke glared up at Sesshomaru.
"No one will take me away from my children until I let them. I am not pathetic Sesshomaru." He hissed back at the demon lord. "Now, if you'll excuse me...I have to put the brats to bed and take a shower."
"Aw...can't we watch you two verbally fight still?" Nefertiri asked.
"Yea, it's fun to see the faces dad makes when he talks Makaian to Uncle Sessho." Susa said with a smirk. His father sighed and rubbed his temple.
"We'll yell tomorrow just for you okay?" Yusuke said as he looked at his kids.
"YAY!" Susa and Nefertiri cheered. Kirara laughed in her own way as she jumped back onto Yusuke's shoulder.

Kagome and Sesshomaru raced up from their conversation in the kitchen to the children's room. They found the door already broken in and thrown to the floor. Their eyes turned to the bed to see Yusuke with both his kids in his lap. Kirara was in Nefertiri's arms as Yusuke ran his hands through Susa's hair. The expression on the father's face was frightening, he was that scary kind of calm that Yusuke Urameshi should never be.
"What happened?" Kagome asked.
"Nightmares...about me killing Marutsuma...." Yusuke replied slowly.
"Oh god...." Kagome said. Sesshomaru walked to Yusuke and grabbed his chin with his left hand and forced him to look up. Yusuke growled at Sesshomaru. His eyes were a dark brown with a ring around the outside.
"Yusuke snap out of it!" Sesshomaru growled back. "You are not endanger...you are among friends. Drop your guard...." Yusuke glared at Sesshomaru.
"I'm fine, what the hell are you talking about?" Yusuke replied icily. Kagome frowned. This was the Yusuke that was always on guard, always alert, always protective of his children. This was the Yusuke who barely recognized his friends.
"Yusuke..." Sesshomaru sighed. "You leave me with no choice...." His right hand glowed green with poison. Yusuke jerked his head back from Sesshomaru only to have Sesshomaru tighten his hold. "Goodnight Yusuke..." Sesshomaru slid his glowing right hand to Yusuke lower back and pressed two fingers, one on each side of his spinal cord. Yusuke's body jerked, his eyes drooping before he fell forward into Sesshomaru's arms.
"Sesshomaru..." Kagome stepped forward. "Should I take the children to his room?"
"Yes, I allow Yusuke to sleep in my bed. Kagome...I need you to erase the children's memories..." The taiyoukai said as he carefully lifted Yusuke into his arms. Susa stirred and rose out of bed. He looked up at Sesshomaru with his father.
"Uncle Sessho?" He rubbed his eyes. "What are you doing with dad?"
"Nothing Susa, Yusuke's just going to take a nap..." Kagome replied as she waved a hand in front of his face. Susa's eyes closed and he fell back onto the bed. "I'll take them to my room with Kirara. You take care of Yusuke..." Kagome picked up both children and walked out of the room. Kirara trailed behind but stopped at the door and looked back at Sesshomaru.
"Mew..." Kirara turned to step back into the room but froze when Sesshomaru spoke.
"No, Kirara keep with the children. Give comfort to them." Kirara hesitated before nodding and running off into the hallway. Sesshomaru sighed and lifted Yusuke into his arms. "That kitten is attached to you, Yusuke..." He said softly to the unconscious form in his arms. Yusuke's head was tilted in toward Sesshomaru's chest, his hands limp on his stomach, and his skin pale. Sesshomaru didn't like Yusuke in this state.
He opened his bedroom door and walked to his bed. Gently putting down Yusuke he began to get dressed for bed. Once in a pair of pant and an unbottoned shirt, Sesshomaru let his human disguise fade to his demonic self. He crawled into bed with Yusuke and laid on his side staring at Yusuke. His free hand reached out and brushed away a few free strands of hair from Yusuke's bandages.
"What am I going to do with you?" Sesshomaru asked himself as he pulled his hand away. He continued to watch the young toushin before him. It was unusual that a person, let alone a man, would make the taiyoukai feel this way. The only other person that made him feel like this was the miko, Kagome. "You, two are similiar, so much so...that it has driven you to accept sexual contact from each other. Yet this does not break your friendship, quite unusual." Sesshomaru's eyes focused on Yusuke's chest moving up and down. "Why is it that both of you compel me to feel this way?"
Yusuke's breath hitched as he began to sweat. A trickle of sweat ran down the side of Yusuke's face. Sesshomaru leaned in and licked the sweat off of his cheek. Yusuke moaned and tilted his head toward Sesshomaru. The Lord of the West leaned in further and lick Yusuke's neck. The young man moved slightly but didn't wake up. Before Sesshomaru knew what he was doing he was hovering over Yusuke's face. His hair fell over his shoulder and landed beside Yusuke's head. Leaning in, Sesshomaru dipped his tongue and traced the line between Yusuke's lips.
Yusuke felt something touch his lips. His head felt light and dizzy as he opened his eyes. All he saw was white. Yusuke blinked slightly. He wasn't blind in his right eye. The mass of white moved away slightly, giving Yusuke enough room to see who it was.
"S-ses-Sesshomaru?" Yusuke murmured. Sesshomaru's golden amber eyes lifted from Yusuke's lips to his eyes. Yusuke's eyes widened slightly as he blushed. "Wha-what happened?"
Sesshomaru's eyes softened. Yusuke never remembers much of what happened after his phase. Leaning back, giving the young man some room to breath, Sesshomaru was now holding himself with both his arm at each side of Yusuke's waist. He stared down at Yusuke as he moved back a bit and sat up. The young one's hand went to his head as he looked at the Lord of the West.
Yusuke's eyes looked down from Sesshomaru's face to his chest. The Lord's chest was framed by the draping shirt he wore. Yusuke could clearly see the purple stripe on Sesshomaru's waist and wrists. He gulped slightly. 'Nothing like waking up to a drop dead sexy taiyoukai, who is wearing low riding pants.' He said to himself trying to maintain control.
"The children had a nightmare of the incident..." Sesshomaru said softly. His hair flowed down and covered his eye making him look more appealing to Yusuke. "You slipped away..." Yusuke immediately frowned at this.
"I'm...dammit...Not again." He looked down, dropping his hand. Sesshomaru's expression didn't waver as he watched Yusuke mentally beat himself up over this. It was always like this. They told him that he slipped away and he would blame and beat himself up about it. Yusuke had told them how he got like that. His demon blood...it was slowly taking him over. Not in a bad way, but if Yusuke didn't find a mate soon he would slip away for much, much longer. The only people he would recognize would be his children, his mother, and perhaps Kirara. That's why Kagome and Yusuke made a pact.
They've been friends since Kagome came back from the other side of the well. At that time Yusuke was still a spirit detective. He was to investigate the strange energy being released from the well. He found Kagome sealing the well with a bunch of injuries and the complete Shikon-no-tama around her neck. She looked pale and sad. Her eyes were teary and red from crying. Yusuke had taken her into her home, tend to her wounds, then stay with her giving her the comfort she needed at the time. Sesshomaru then arrived and was grateful to see Kagome healed and sleeping. He didn't expect Yusuke to be up, or to know who he was and bow to him.
The memory made Sesshomaru's eyes smile as he sat up on the edge of the bed. His tail curled around Yusuke's waist and caressed his abs, trying to relax the young man. Yusuke looked up at the taiyoukai with tired and beaten eyes. Sesshomaru leaned toward Yusuke and pushed the young toushin back down on the bed. His tail uncurled from Yusuke's waist and wrapped around his own.
"Sleep," He said. "I used my poison to knock you out. It is still in your system, you'll need to sleep it off." Yusuke nodded wearily and got comfortable on the bed.
"Thanks Sessho...." He murmured as he dozed off again. Sesshomaru allowed a small smile to grace his lips as he stood and walked to the plush couch by the fireplace. He sat on it as the fire started. Staring in the red flames, Sesshomaru contemplated his actions. Even moreso, he thought about how he was going to hide Yusuke from the Reikai Realm and their pursuers.
Sesshomaru touched his lips lightly with a clawed hand. This was going to be another problem....his lust. He stared at the fire. No...his lust must wait. Yusuke and the children come first...they are in danger...and Sesshomaru owes Yusuke a lot. Shaking his head, Sesshomaru settled down on the couch and slowly fell asleep.
He didn't notice the pair of sad blue eyes that had watched the intimate scene between the two men. She knew that one day both men would somehow get together. By they way they act around each other is was obvious. Kagome's eyes turned to Yusuke's body. She knew how to move around both the taiyoukai and the hanyou. She masked her scent and moved silently across the room to Yusuke's side. Touching his hand, she sighed and rubbed her cheek against it.
"Kagome..." He whispered as he turned his head and looked at her. "I'm sorry...." Kagome pressed a finger to his lips.
"We both knew this was going to happen one day Yu-chan." She replied quietly. "I guess this means the end of our pact?"
"For my part....I'll keep up my end." He closed his eyes and kissed her hand. "I can't help but feel liked I used you..." Kagome frowned.
"No...it was my decision..." Kagome told him with a squeeze of his hand. "Let's make a new pact...I'll stay with you and be a mother figure for the children, if you promise to try not to slip away again and stay my friend." Yusuke nodded.
"Always..." He said before starting to fall asleep again. Kagome smiled and climbed into bed with him. "It was fun, wasn't it Kag? Making people guess about us and stuff."
"Yea, it was..." Kagome put a hand on Yusuke's chest. Kagome yelped when someone hugged her from behind as they laid down behind her.
"Go to sleep..." Sesshomaru murmured into her ear. His tail spread across the two and pulled them closer to him.
"Oh yes, wise fluffy-sama!" Yusuke replied. Kagome giggled into his shoulder as Sesshomaru growled.
OoOoOo
The next morning Yusuke awoke to his children shaking him up.
"Dad! Come on you missed breakfast." Susa said.
"What did I tell you about waking me up?" Yusuke asked as he sat up and pulled Nefertiri into his lap.
"Beware of your profanties!" Nefertiri said with a smile.
"Not that..." He said tickling his daughter.
"Don't shake, punch?" Susa asked.
"Right. Now, why are you waking me? Certainly not for breakfast." Yusuke looked at them.
"Uncle Sesshomaru said for you to get your ass up and down there." Susa replied.
"Language..."
"Sorry Dad..." Susa grinned.
"Aunt Kagome went home for the day to take care of the shrine. She said she'd be back later." Nefertiri said. Yusuke swung his legs over the bed and stretched.
"Alright..." Yawn. "Tell Fluffy I'll be downstairs as soon as I get dressed."
"'Kay!" They said and raced each other down stairs.
Yusuke shook his head and got off the bed. He walked to Sesshomaru's closet and pulled out a shirt and pair of sweat. When he put them on, the button up shirt was hanging off his shoulder and the pants were low around his hips. He laughed and walked into the bathroom. He changed his bandages around his eye again before heading downstairs.
Sesshomaru looked over his papers at Yusuke. His glasses slid down his nose slightly. He raised an eyebrow at Yusuke as the young man sat down. Yusuke blushed and pulled the shirt up.
"Excuse me for not wanting to walk all the way back to my room for something to get dressed in." He said.
"Sorely, you're not excused." Sesshomaru replied turning back to the papers. Yusuke made a face and glared at him.
"Where are the children?"
"They are out in the garden playing with Jaken and Kirara."
"Oh..." Yusuke looked down at the table and sighed.
"You should eat something." Sesshomaru said looking at the papers still.
Yusuke shook his head. In truth, he probably wouldn't be able to hold anything down. After slipping, his appetite was screwed up. His stomach assumed that everything is bad and makes him throw it up. It happened once that this would go on for days at a time. Sesshomaru and Kagome found him passed out due to lack of nutrients.
"You know I can't..." Yusuke replied.
"Still, you should try." Sesshomaru countered.
"I rather not spend my afternoon in front of a toilet spewing my insides out." Yusuke crossed his arms while looking at Sesshomaru. Sighing, the taiyoukai put aside his papers and walked to Yusuke. The brown eyed toushin tilted his head back to look at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru eyed Yusuke neck and leaned down to kiss it. He smirked as the young man moaned and leaned into the kiss. Sesshomaru pulled away and looked at Yusuke's eyes. Those brown eyes were glazed and shone brightly. The taiyoukai leaned down and kissed Yusuke's lips lightly.
"Well then, later maybe. Yes?" Sesshomaru stood straight. Yusuke moved his head down and stared at the table.
"S-sure..."
"Good, for now...I have an idea to keep you hidden until the right time." Sesshomaru said.
Yusuke looked up at Sesshomaru with his good eye. He knew that he was causing a lot of trouble for the taiyoukai, and was grateful for the help. To have Yusuke hidden for a while, must of cost him something great....or so Yusuke thought.
OoOoOo
Alright. That's it! AHahah. Next Chapter is a Time Jump. So bare with me. A lot will happen between now and then.
