Chapter 2 - Frustration, Thy Name is Hanyou

Laying on his back in the middle of a field of flowers, chewing a long piece of grass, Inuyasha scowled up at the blue sky overhead.
It had been a week since the incident. A whole fucking week he'd had to put up with the tail that bitch had given him.
He hadn't been able to find her after she'd vanished. He'd been to practically every village within a five mile radius of the Goshinboku. Maybe even ten miles. But without a scent or a set of tracks to follow, he had as much chance of stumbling across the sorceress as a bumbling human with no tracking skills.
In other words, no fucking chance.
It made it worse that the memory of her face was starting to lose its sharpness. After so long, when he hadn't paid much attention to her to begin with, she was starting to change from a well-formed image in his mind to a generic human woman. These past couple of days, he could have walked right by her in a village street and not even realised.
He was beginning to worry he was never going to find her.
He was worrying even more about the fact that he was getting used to that... thing. His subconscious mind, at least. His conscious mind was so repulsed he couldn't even touch it unless it was absolutely necessary. As a result, the fur was already tangled into an unmanageable mess, but the hanyou refused to acknowledge it enough to care.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at the sky and willed it to darken quicker. Tonight was a new moon, and he would become human as soon as the sun set. Never in his life had he welcomed his transformation more. No more fucking tail! No more ears, fangs and claws, either, but he considered it an equal trade to get rid of the abomination, at least for a few hours, even if he mourned their loss. Even the ears. They may look fucking stupid and get him stared at all the time, but they had their uses. They were way more powerful than the pathetic, fleshy shells his human side had.
A quick glance over at the sun told the impatient hanyou that there was at least three hours to go before sunset. He puffed his cheeks out in an irritated sigh and resigned himself to the long wait.
Then he froze as a familiar youki tickled his senses.
With his teeth gritted and body tense, Inuyasha closed his eyes and stubbornly resolved to ignore the asshole. The youki came closer and closer, moving at immense speed, and Inuyasha decided Sesshomaru must have made himself into a ball again. Inuyasha allowed a mental snigger. He didn't know what that thing was called and had never asked, but it amused the hell out of him. It made him think of a giant firefly, and damn if it wasn't funny to imagine the regal and poised Lord Sesshomaru buzzing around like all the other bugs.
He was closer now, almost on top of Inuyasha. Still, the hanyou refused to open his eyes. A brief rustle of the long grass, and he knew his brother was standing over him. He was not going to open his eyes. Sesshomaru was nothing if not proud; he hated being ignored. If Inuyasha didn't acknowledge him, maybe he'd get annoyed and piss off -
"Inuyasha," Sesshomaru said in a too neutral voice, "what is that bulge between your legs?"
Inuyasha bit down on the inside of his mouth to keep from howling. His tail thrashed irritably in his hakama, and his eyes popped open just in time to see Sesshomaru's gaze taking it in, one elegant eyebrow slightly raised. He cursed and hastily sat up, crossing his legs to cover it. He realised what he'd done mere seconds after and how stupid it must look, but stubbornly refused to undo it now that it was done.
He chewed the side of his mouth and glared irritably at his brother while he tried to calm down enough to speak. It was his own damn fault Sesshomaru had managed to get a shot at him like that - having his tail between his legs was the most comfortable position; having it to either side bent it slightly and made him more aware of the thing - but that didn't make him any less pissed. And slightly weirded out.
"What the fuck's wrong with you?" he finally managed. "Why the fuck did you say it like that?" Seeing the slight curling of Sesshomaru's lips, the glimmer of amusement in his eyes, made Inuyasha all the more angry. Discovering Sesshomaru had such a wicked sense of humour had been an unhappy shock for the hanyou, who had never taken well to being laughed at. "Look, clear the fuck off. I don't want you around tonight."
The humour in Sesshomaru's eyes flickered and died. "Tonight is the new moon," he said, as though that settled everything.
"I don't give a shit!" Inuyasha shot back, his hackles beginning to rise. "Don't want you here. My fucking choice, jerkwad."
"You are vulnerable tonight," Sesshomaru replied curtly. Again, like it settled things.
Like a petulant child, Inuyasha swivelled on his ass and turned his back on his brother. He was fully aware it wasn't the most mature gesture, but he didn't care. Not looking at Sesshomaru was the only way he could calm himself down enough to talk without blowing up at him. Even Inuyasha could admit that that would be unfair to Sesshomaru.
No had ever asked Sesshomaru to come and stand guard on the moonless night as he did every month, after all.
Inuyasha appreciated his older brother being so considerate. He truly did. Ever since they'd reached an unspoken agreement and entered into a sort of truce, the hanyou's life had become a lot less dangerous. Fighting together against Naraku had finally laid the groundwork; they'd been forced to rely on each other's presence and strength in that final battle, and each had walked away with a grudging respect for the other. From there, it had just been a matter of time until they came to the mutual decision that neither would seek the other's death ever again.
Not that any of this made up for the bad blood from past centuries. That baggage would stay between them for the forseeable future; perhaps even forever. Both of them, however, had shown themselves to be gracious enough to work around such an obstacle and meet each other in the middle. An easy camaraderie existed now, and Inuyasha found he enjoyed Sesshomaru's company now that their conversations weren't peppered with insults - though they still got in the occasional good-natured rib every now and then, and there was Sesshomaru's evil, almost sadistic sense of humour to consider. And damn if it wasn't nice to spar with a worthy opponent that wasn't trying to kill him for real.
Inuyasha did appreciate Sesshomaru's gesture. It allowed him to relax and even sleep on the night of the new moon, something he hadn't managed since his mother had been alive. But he just didn't want him around right now. Not until he'd exhausted every possibility of fixing his problem himself. It was just too embarrassing to even consider letting Sesshomaru see that... thing... if he didn't have to.
Before Inuyasha could think of a reasonable excuse, however, a white clad knee dropped to the ground beside him and his brother's only hand reached out and grasped his chin. Inuyasha flinched, but not out of pain. He just knew that Sesshomaru's eyes rarely missed anything, and that they saw through him more often than not. Sure enough, when Sesshomaru firmly moved his chin and forced their eyes to meet, his were just slightly narrowed in consideration.
Their gazes remained locked in silence for long moments before Sesshomaru spoke. "Inuyasha, there is something that is concerning you that you are hiding from me." Those calm golden eyes dropped for a split second to his crotch, and Inuyasha covered it reflexively with his hands.
Flushing, embarrassed by his own actions, Inuyasha automatically jumped to an angry response to attempt to cover it. "Fuck off! Stop doing that!" he shot back, jerking his chin out of his brother's gentle grip. He saw Sesshomaru's eyes go slightly remote, and he immediately felt a wash of shame. Sesshomaru was not overly expressive; the quiet, almost gentle tone he'd used was the daiyoukai's equivalent of openly expressing concern, Inuyasha had learned in recent years.
With a huff, Inuyasha folded his arms and looked away from Sesshomaru. "Fine. Whatever. Fuck it, you can stay as long as you stop asking those fucking stupid questions." He snuck a glance at Sesshomaru and felt annoyed to see a slight hint of triumph in the daiyoukai's eyes. "You're such a pushy bastard. Shit."
Resigned to having to keep his secret from his brother until the sun rose tomorrow morning, Inuyasha pushed himself to his feet and wrapped his tail around one leg as Sesshomaru rose fluidly beside him. The sensation of all that fur that shouldn't be there touching his skin gave him an urge to shudder in revulsion, but he battled it furiously down. Anymore strange behaviour would start the questions again.
"Come on, you annoying fucker," Inuyasha said, forcing his tone to be cheerful, and set his feet on a path towards the Goshinboku. It was his usual place to rest whenever the new moon was upon him. He kept his head up, his back straight, and resolved to ignore the weighing eyes he could literally feel on the back of his skull. He knew Sesshomaru well enough by now to know that just because the daiyoukai was silent on an undesired topic did not mean he'd dropped it entirely. He would be considering things, turning them over in his mind, examining them from every angle. And sooner or later, he would bring it up again from a new perspective, with new insight.
It was fucking annoying.
But since he knew it was the best he could expect right now, Inuyasha gritted his teeth and kept his mouth shut. Just a few hours, he reminded himself. Just a few hours and he could flee from Sesshomaru's company without needing an excuse.
Repeating that like a mantra inside his head, Inuyasha headed beneath the canopy of his forest.
