"InuYasha!" Kagome whined. "Can we please take a break now?!" They'd been walking for five hours straight, and she'd been complaining for the past hour and a half. InuYasha, for once, hadn't even tried to respond. He was completely distracted and if he even heard Kagome, he gave no sign of it. "InuYasha!" the miko tried again. No reply. "That's it! SIT BOY!" Crash! InuYasha groaned into the dirt, waiting for the spell's effect to wear off. Spitting dirt, he sat up.
"What?!" he growled, thoroughly put off. Nothing ruined his morning like a mouthful of dirt. Kagome sat down, thoroughly pleased that they finally seemed to be taking a break.
"You were ignoring me," she pointed out. "I had to get your attention somehow."
"You can't just go doing that to people!" InuYasha replied heatedly, leaping to his feet. "And can't a guy get some peace and quiet, around here without someone yapping his ear off?!"
"First you disappear for five days with no explanation, and now you're acting all weird! InuYasha, what's up with you?!" Kagome ranted. "I mean, seriously. You just ran off two weeks ago, disappeared for five days, and came back sort of dazed. The next day, we thought you were finally back to normal, but now, here you are again, acting all weird! What's up with you?!"
"It's nothing I was just…" InuYasha replied in an uncharacteristically small voice. "I…I thought I smelled something."
"What?" Miroku intervened, hoping to end the argument. InuYasha stared at him for a long time, looking a little lost, so he reiterated. "What did you smell?"
"Huh? I…I…don't know…" he mumbled. He closed his eyes and lifted his nose to the wind. Kami, he's coming closer. What do I do? He panicked inwardly. I mean…I've got to act like everything's normal, right? I said I wanted that…why is he here? Wait a minute! Why am I freaking out like this?! Calm down, InuYasha! He took a deep breath in through his nose and realized just how much he liked Sesshoumaru's scent. It was crisp and clean yet slightly spicy.
"Do you know, yet?"
"Y-yeah…" He rested a hand on Tessaiga. "I know who it is." Come on, InuYasha…just act natural…I wonder if he'll hit me as hard as he used to. It would be weird if he didn't…but…it would hurt…if he did…after all that happened two weeks ago…
"Outoto," Sesshoumaru's soft, silky bairitone slid into his thoughts. InuYasha turned to face him, glaring.
"Sesshoumaru. What are you doing here?" he demanded, hoping to appear more angry than curious. The demon lord stared down at him impassively, his gaze locking with InuYasha's and holding it.
"I was here searching for something of great importance to me."
"Something matters to the great Lord Sesshoumaru other than his own self? I'm shocked!" Sesshoumaru sneered elegantly at him.
"Get out of my way or I will force you, half-breed."
"Is that a challenge?" InuYasha snarled, lunging forward with a punch aimed at Sesshoumaru's cheek. The older demon easily dodged and immediately went on the offensive, driving InuYasha away from his friends and into the surrounding trees. InuYasha effectively dodged the attacks until suddenly Sesshoumaru's fist was hurtling towards his face and he had no time to move. He cringed, but the blow never came. He cracked one eye open to see the fist just a mere hair's breadth from his cheek. Sesshoumaru tipped his head towards InuYasha's friends, who were pursuing them, and InuYasha understood. He stumbled back as if he'd been hit and Sesshoumaru kept up his flurry of attacks. InuYasha allowed himself to be directed further and further from his companions.
Suddenly, apparently Sesshoumaru had deemed them far enough away, because he didn't hold back at all in his next attack, which assumed the form of a hug. InuYasha froze, shocked, as the older Youkai nuzzled his neck affectionately. He smiled a little and rested his cheek on Sesshoumaru's shoulder.
"Um…why are you here?" the half-demon asked at length. Sesshoumaru didn't release him as he pondered his answer, choosing instead to drop a soft kiss onto the edge of InuYasha's ear.
"Am I not allowed to want to see you?" he whispered.
"N-no you are. I just…um…didn't expect it." Sesshoumaru leaned back from the hug only enough to lock eyes with InuYasha.
"I know this is all probably very strange for you…"
"Yeah…you can say that again."
"But I really…needed to see you." InuYasha flushed slightly, but when he tried to look away, his brother caught his chin and tipped it up, lowering his head for a soft, sweet kiss. For a moment, InuYasha's brain refused to function, then he realized that he was kissing Sesshoumaru…for the third time in his life…and that he didn't totally hate it. The first two times had been so quick he hadn't had time to think about them, and whatever he thought of them afterwards, he attributed to his really weird emotional state, at that time. But now, he could rightfully say he'd recovered from his little encounter with Sesshoumaru – even if he was still a little confused by what all had taken place – and here he was, lip-locked, again, with his gorgeous, older brother. Slowly, he pulled away.
"Sesshoumaru…we need to talk."
"Yes?"
"I…I don't know what's going on…with me, right now," he began. Come on, InuYasha, he won't hurt you like he used to, so just man up and explain to him what you're thinking! "I mean…I…" he cleared his throat. "I don't know…if I should be feeling this way…about another guy – my brother, no less." My incredibly powerful, sexy brother, he mentally added. Sesshoumaru stayed quiet for a moment, thinking about how to respond.
"In demon culture – same-sex relationships are common, as well as inter-family mating," he began slowly. "At the same time, InuYasha…I don't want you to push yourself into anything. If you feel wrong with me, you should just tell me." The half-demon flushed when he realized his heart was fluttering. Kami, what's wrong with me? He thought.
"Well…can we just…take things slow?" he asked. He didn't want to cut it off with Sesshoumaru – whatever it was they had – but he wasn't sure he was ready for that kind of relationship with his brother, either.
"Of course," Sesshoumaru assured him. Suddenly, he felt the urge to prove to InuYasha just how much he meant to him. "But InuYasha…know this…if you accept me…you will be the only one I ever touch." He kissed InuYasha's forehead. "You are not some plaything or stress-reliever for me to use and discard when I feel like it." The InuYoukai placed another kiss on the boy's head, now at the base of his ear. "I am done ignoring my feelings for you." They stood in silence for a long time, just enjoying being close…feeling wanted. It was a long-forgotten feeling for both of them. The last person to hold InuYasha this way, so unconditionally loving, was his mother, and Sesshoumaru had not been cared for gently since his father had died. InuYasha's nose twitched and he broke the silence.
"They're coming."
"They must have gotten that two-tailed cat to track us."
"We weren't exactly subtle. Even Kagome could follow the trail of broken branches we left behind." Sesshoumaru conceded the point.
"Next time I'll just kidnap you…" he muttered. "May I…kiss you…again?" InuYasha found himself nodding and leaning his head up to accept a warm, chaste kiss.
"InuYasha!" Kagome's voice called. "InuYasha!" It was getting nearer. Sesshoumaru drew back and immediately they had ten feet of space between us.
"I already told you, bastard!" InuYasha shouted. "I don't know what the hell you're talking about!" Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed but he went with it.
"Insolent pup! Is that any way to address your elders and betters?"
"Shut up, Old Man. You're no better than me!"
"We both know that I am, InuYasha. Now, if you really have no clue as to what I'm talking about, then you are simply wasting my time."
"Yeah, well, you're the one that showed up in the first place!"
"Imbecile, we're only both standing here because you attacked me instead of letting me go peaceably along my way. Now, you've wasted my time enough, I am leaving." And with that, the demon lord left, just as Kagome and the others came into view.
"InuYasha! There are you are! Are you okay?!" Kagome called, running over to him. He glanced at her, surprised, then remembered that he was supposed to have been fighting all this time. Huffing he folded his arms.
"Yeah, like that stuck-up jerk could've hurt me!" he growled. "Come on, let's go! Time's wasting!" Then, he stalked off, leaving them to all follow along behind.
"Whatever Lord Sesshoumaru was looking for must have been pretty important for him to leave without rendering InuYasha unconscious, first," Miroku whispered to Sango. InuYasha's ears twitched, listening for the demon-slayer's reply.
"I guess. I mean, it had to be important for him to come without twenty miles of InuYasha, at all…I mean, those two avoid each other like the plague." InuYasha touched his lips, mulling over the feel of Sesshoumaru's mouth on his. It wasn't disgusting, he thought. In fact, I liked it a lot. But does that mean that it's okay…? He said it happens with demons a lot, but…I don't know. He sighed and let his hand drop, shaking the thoughts from his head. He could worry about it, later.

Sesshoumaru tucked his aura as deeply into his body as he could and carefully arranged himself up wind of his brother, doing his best to hide his scent. He had taken to watching InuYasha a lot, recently, and part of that included not being discovered by his hot-headed, younger brother. He didn't want to fight with InuYasha – even if it was only pretend. He didn't like sneering those snide words at him and seeing that they hurt, even though they both knew them to be a lie. It hit too close to home, considering how long he had been purposefully hurting the boy. At the same time, he knew their new relationship was hard for InuYasha to figure out and adjust to. It was throwing his brother through a loop, and for that reason, he was trying to keep his distance. Well, he couldn't really keep his distance, because this overwhelming urge to protect InuYasha, which had been suppressed for so long, was driving him to stay close, but he tried to give the boy as much space and time as he needed.
The half-demon glanced up at the waning moon and sighed heavily. Sesshoumaru followed his gaze, wondering for a moment what InuYasha was looking at. Then he remembered the boy's human nights. Every new moon, InuYasha's Youkai escaped him, leaving him weak and vulnerable with nothing but his human blood. How did he survive this long on his own? Sesshoumaru wondered. Now he has his human friends to protect him, but before…he had no one. He had only seen the human InuYasha once before, many years ago. The boy had been maybe ten or eleven, and Sesshoumaru had been taking his time returning home after sealing up some negotiations with the Panther Demons of the East.
Sesshoumaru paused in his walking when he recognized a vaguely familiar scent. No…it wasn't quite the same. Something was wrong with InuYasha's scent. More out of curiosity than concern, he followed his nose in search of the boy. When he saw him, he was absolutely floored. Huddling beneath a tree, dripping wet – it had been storming earlier that night – and covered in mud was InuYasha. Well, it looked like InuYasha, except his hair was now a dull black, his eyes a deep violet, and his ears just regular, human ears. Sesshoumaru could smell he was bleeding, and it was clear the boy was in desperate need of help. He reached out a hand to Sesshoumaru, hopeful despite all the cruelty the demon lord had shown him.
"Please…"he croaked, voice hoarse from crying. "Aniki…" Sesshoumaru clenched his fist. Aniki? He dare call him his brother?!
"You are no brother of mine, you pathetic waste of space," he snarled. "If you rot and die, the world will be better for it." And with that, he kept walking, InuYasha's attempts to stifle his broken sobs chasing after him…
Sesshoumaru pressed a hand to his chest in an attempt to soothe the dull ache that had formed over the memory. InuYasha had never called him Aniki, again. Instead, he'd chosen names like "bastard" or "stuck-up prick." The more and more Sesshoumaru thought about it, the more he realized just how horribly wrong he had been to InuYasha, how much it was his fault they fought all the time, how much he had hurt the boy. It was all he could do, at this point, to remain hidden and just watch. He wanted to run to him and gather him in his arms and make all the pain of his past go away.
"It's tomorrow isn't it?" Kagome's voice broke the stillness.
"Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" InuYasha asked quietly.
"I was worried about you. You've been really weird recently."
"I've just been…thinking."
"About?"
"Stuff."
"InuYasha, clearly you need to get whatever it is off your chest."
"No, Kagome, I don't need to talk it out. Really, I don't. I'm okay just thinking about it. Besides…I don't know who I would talk to about it, even if I were to try to talk it out."
"You could talk to me…?"
"No, Kagome…I don't think I can this time. I don't think you'd get it." He sighed, letting his head droop. "I'm sorry, Kagome, but I don't think you can help, this time."
"You never know till you try."
"Not true. I know right now…that it won't help to try to explain it to you. It's…it's complicated, demon stuff. Go get some sleep." She frowned slightly.
"You know, you should really let someone in, sometimes, InuYasha." Then, she went to bed with a huff. InuYasha scoffed lightly.
"Yeah, Kagome…I know." Sesshoumaru smiled slightly and walked off. Tomorrow night…he would definitely talk to his brother, then. He wanted InuYasha to know he was there for him – even the human him.
()*()*()
InuYasha glared at the setting sun. He hated his human nights. Not because he hated his human side, as was once the case, but because he hated being weak and vulnerable. He hated not being able to protect his friends. He hated being scared, knowing that if Naraku were to ever find out about this night, he and his friends would surely be attacked with everything the evil half-demon had in his arsenal, and he would be helpless to do anything about it. He squeezed his eyes shut, waiting for the agony of the transformation to take him. His nose caught a scent. Sesshoumaru? All other attempts to verify the information were cut short as pain wracked through his body. He groaned, his knees going weak. Two strong arms caught him and scooped him up against a broad, warm chest. He shuddered violently as he felt his senses dulling. His ears melded into his head and regrew as human ears, his nails shortened to useless, blunt stubs, his hair turned black, his eyes violet, and then his strength was gone. It was always the last thing to go, and it left him feeling like a fragile, glass figurine. His eyes cracked open to confirm what he'd thought before.
"Sesshoumaru," he whispered. "My friends…are looking for me, probably. They know I transform…"
"I left an anonymous note telling them you were being taken care of, tonight," Sesshoumaru explained, heading off up the slope of the mountainous terrain. That probably won't make them worry any less, InuYasha thought somewhere in the back of his mind.
"Why…?" he asked at length.
"Because, InuYasha, this is when you need me…when I should have been protecting you all along." He took the human boy up into a cave he'd found earlier that day and sat down with him in his lap. "And I want to take care of you."
"It's so weird…you know…the two of us…not fighting."
"I know, it probably will take some adjustment." InuYasha closed his eyes, resting his head against Sesshoumaru's chest, listening to the steady heartbeat. How many nights had he longed for his older brother to hold him like this? How long had it been since he'd given up on that wish? That is until recently. Two months ago, he would never have thought this to be possible. Two months ago, he would never have dared imagine Sesshoumaru holding him and rocking him and kissing his hair. But then again, two months ago, Sesshoumaru had never sacrificed anything for him. Two months ago, Sesshoumaru thought they hated each other. Two months ago…so much had changed in two months.
"Thank you," he whispered mainly just to break the silence. He wanted to talk with his brother, somehow make up for the lost time, but he didn't know how to start.
"InuYasha…will you…call me Aniki?" Sesshoumaru asked suddenly. InuYasha blinked, surprised.
"Aniki…" he tested the word on his tongue. He tried to think back to see if he'd ever tried actually calling Sesshoumaru that. Oh, yes…that one time…He shifted around so he was facing Sesshoumaru, on his knees, straddling the demon's lap. "Don't do that, Aniki."
"Don't do what?"
"Keep beating yourself up for the past. You've already done enough to make up for that." Sesshoumaru scoffed lightly.
"How can it ever be enough?" he muttered more to himself than to InuYasha. The younger took his brother's face between his hands.
"It's enough. You've made me so much happier than I can even say. All I ever wanted…was for you to love me…and now you do."
"Yes, I do. I love you as a brother, but also…as something more." It was time they get this in the open. "InuYasha, the love I have for you is also romantic. You understand that, right?"
"I do." He took a deep breath. "I just don't know how to feel about that…your feelings…or mine." He fought a losing battle with the blush that threatened to take over his face, ducking his head.
"InuYasha…for demons…at least, it's not uncommon for siblings to mate. It is seen as a way of strengthening the bloodline. I know for humans it causes problems in the child, but that is not the case with demons. Also, many demons mate others of the same gender." He kept his tone low and monotone, as factual and straightforward as he could make it. "We talked about this before, remember?"
"Yeah, I remember."
"What I'm trying to ask, InuYasha…is if you will consider being my mate. If you say no, I will not hold it against you, nor will I cease to care for you. I will still strive to protect you and be with you, but I will respect your wishes not to engage in a sexual relationship with me." InuYasha's stomach squirmed. "You don't have to make a decision, now."
"It's okay. I agree."
"I beg your pardon?"
"I said it's okay, but…I mean…can we…er, um…wait a bit before…making it official?" Sesshoumaru nodded mutely. "I mean, demons…do something to make it official, right?"
"Yes, they place the mating mark…right here," Sesshoumaru finally found his voice, tapping the junction of InuYasha's neck and left shoulder, right over his collar bone.
"How?"
"A simple Youkai-infused bite would do it. It's generally made in the middle of intercourse." InuYasha's blush won the battle at this and he looked away.
"Yeah…we can definitely wait off on that for a bit, okay?"
"Whatever you want."
"But Aniki?"
"Yes?"
"I do…love you…that way."
"I'm glad." InuYasha pressed his lips to Sesshoumaru's, his eyes sliding shut. The demon lord returned the kiss, threading his fingers through InuYasha's hair and bring his other arm around his waist, pulling him closer. His tongue reached out to beg for entrance at the human's lips, which was granted, albeit hesitantly. He groaned his gratification into InuYasha's mouth, mapping out his mouth with his tongue. He felt his brother's tongue lift to dance with his, twisting and rubbing in unison with his. They parted when the need for oxygen became unbearable for the younger and he had to break away, panting. Sesshoumaru kissed InuYasha's neck, his pelt moved of its own accord to make a bed for him. Gently, he laid his younger brother down and kissed him soundly.
"You won't go anywhere, will you?" InuYasha murmured.
"No. I'll stay right here. Sleep." Sesshoumaru sat down beside him, smiling a little when InuYasha moved to lay his head in his lap. Nuzzling his thigh, the boy fell asleep. Sesshoumaru inhaled deeply. InuYasha's human scent was sweeter than his usual, milder, too. It wasn't as bad as Sesshoumaru had feared it would be. In fact, he found that he actually sort of liked InuYasha's human form. Of course, he liked the real InuYasha better, but once in a while, this might not be too bad. He idly stroked the boy's hair, noting that it was still incredibly soft and silky. He is still my InuYasha, he thought, satisfied.
