Chapter 25
Kazo kept a firm grip on his son all the while peering down at the fallen dragon that had plenty of questions to answer.
"M-my son…" Ryuu wheezed with a bloody curled cough. "Don't…don't deny him…he's…he's your…your mother."
"Pére you're alive—Unhand me!" Fio begged shoving at the demon lord holding him.
Kazo's hold constricted to the point of bruising the boy's arms. "You've kept my son from me beast. You've kept him from me! I should kill you for doing this to me!"
Fiorello's anger shot through the roof as he pounded and bit down on his supposedly mother's arms. "You will not harm mon Pére!" He bit down harder on the pale arm clutching him in place.
The attack stunned Kazo long enough for Fio to push his way over to his ailing father. "Pére?" He called lightly touching the dragon's shoulder. When Ryuu closed his one working eye, Fio pressed his ear to his listening for a heartbeat. It was very faint and fading fast. "Hold on Pére. I'll give you life." Fiorello leveled his two hands on top of the other feeding youki through the palms.
Feeling the dangerous attempt flowing through him, one of Ryuu's hands shot out over his son's. "Don't…please…don't."
"No let me help you Pére. I want you to live. I cannot be alone. I won't!" Once more the steady flow of youki poured out from his wavering body to his fathers.
Inuyasha and Koga brushed past the dumbfounded Youko and Inuyoukai to help Fiorello with his task.
Looking at the troubled expression on his friend's face, Inuyasha could tell the burden was weighing heavily on the aura he'd only recovered from. "You'll kill yourself stupid. Here." Grumbling under his breath, he pressed hands over the fox demons feeding in his own energy.
"Hey old man you owe us alright?" Koga planted both hands on the bleeding gray skin, transferring a large portion of his youki.
This little get together of the three princes trying to keep the dragon alive was astounding. Why on earth were they trying so hard to help him survive? What would they gain from this beast continuing to live in this world?
Sesshomaru walked over to stand beside his older brother with the same stoic face. If the two were amazed by what their brothers were doing neither expressed it. But those who could read into their stiff body language knew that they weren't pleased.
"Agh!" Fiorello faltered feeling his aura become unstable.
"Hey take it easy. You're still feeling from your operation." Inuyasha warned.
The red fox shook his head desperately. "No," He strained through his clenched fangs. "I must save him. I have no one else here! I have no one! If he leaves me now who will I have?" He pushed his hands harder into the bleeding chest soaking his fingers in blood.
"Well just don't overdo it. If I felt ya wavering again, I'm kicking you off." Koga added.
"Fine." He was grateful for the help his friends were offering. If he'd stayed doing this alone any longer he would've surely fainted from the strain on his body.
Suddenly a large hand cupped on his shoulder with the cascade of long silver hair tickling his cheek. Fio peeked up to see the same demon that'd been holding him before was bending down to study his father's face. "What do you want?" he asked roughly.
"Only to help…" Kazo placed his hand over Fio's set and shot a heavy set of his energy into the healing body. The ruptured force of extra youki knocked the two young canines back on their asses. "Taisho please help me."
The Inu lord didn't move.
"Taisho?"
"I…I…"
"Father please." Inuyasha said quietly. Normally he wouldn't ever beg a thing from a living soul but this time would be different. The hanyou rushed over grabbing his father's arms. "Father just help him this once."
Taisho growled. "Why should I help the likes of him?"
"Because," Inuyasha turned his head to the kneeling red Youko. "He will be alone. He doesn't deserve to have no one left for him."
Taisho still wouldn't let up on his opinion on it remaining stubborn. The more he watched his future mate feeding his youki into their enemy the more he felt enraged.
"I can't believe you!" Inuyasha released his hold on his father. "I can't believe you're letting past mistakes cloud your judgment for a man in need! You've always taught us to help those who need our assistance even if they're the enemy. But here you can't even practice what you preach? Tsk." Inuyasha deliberately pushed his parent to the side to go stand beside his observing older brothers.
"Why do you wish for this creature's life little brother?" Sesshomaru asked coldly. "He's done nothing but bring pain and torment in his reign. Yet you still want him to continue living to wretch more havoc?
"Why would you want him to finish what he's started?" Came the shorter question from Kurama.
Inuyasha shook his head. "He's not as black hearted as you guys make him out to be. I mean sure he created a massive bloodshed invasion on the Yuko kingdom but he had a reason."
"You say he's justified in his reasoning to murder all of my people? Innocent vixens and kits were killed mercilessly by his soldiers!"
"But he didn't know!" Koga suddenly appeared in front of them. "He told us he only ordered them to terrify the people not to kill 'em. The soldiers acted on their own accord." By the time he got home he was going to do some serious ass kicking to his own ass for defending this dragon.
Sesshomaru chuckled lightly. "Hn, you two speak so highly of him. After only being in his presence for a mere three days. How amusing. He surely brainwashed you both into believing he's a saint."
"Oh for the love of— He did not brainwash us. You're just being so goddamn thick headed to listen to reason." Pouted the young hanyou folding his arms.
That was an insult. That was actually an insult that strung Sesshomaru's pride. He'd always considered himself to be a very reasonable man in matters such as these. And now to hear his future mating declaring him to be less than reasonable? How disturbing. Feeling the need to gain the boy's belief again, he gathered him in his arms. Inuyasha thrashed against him at first but later relaxed in his warmth.
"You do realize that I won't be able to easily see this dragon as you do Inuyasha."
"Keh, so does that mean you're willing to try just for me?" Inuyasha grunted.
"Don't push your luck." But secretly he'd see how things go once they arrived back home.
A little behind them InuTaisho felt betrayed in more ways than one. Not only was his lover helping that monster but now his own son was treating him as if he were the enemy and not the dragon.
"Taisho…I need your help in saving him." Kazo hollered over to the steel bodied demon.
The pled hurt him. "Why are you in such dire need to help him live?" He couldn't admit that he was jealous.
"Because I need answers Taisho." Kazo turned him with a sadden face. "And he's the only one who can answer them. And I want my son…to be happy."
Fiorello blinked at the face beside his. This demon was helping him to save his father? "Merci…" He whispered gratefully.
"Don't thank me yet little one. Not until we get your abstained father off this ground."
Just then a large pair of striped hands descended down on top of Kazo's and Fiorello's. The two looked toward the source to see an extremely anger dog demon sending a rush of his youki into the wounds. "Step aside boy." He commanded toward the young fox.
"No I shall stay here!" Fiorello said stubbornly.
Taisho grabbed the fox by the scruff of his neck and effortlessly tossed him toward his oldest sons. "Hold him!" He ordered.
"NO! Let me go!" Fio struggled in between the two pulling, scratching and even snapping his jaws. Sesshomaru was never patient with those of a wild nature (Inuyasha and Koga being the exceptions). Especially with those who so foolishly dared to draw blood from his flesh. The back of his wrist struck into the flailing fox's stomach, punching the wind right out of him.
Holding his stomach, Fio fell to his needs gasping for air. "P-Pére." Were his last words as he fell unconscious with a thud.
Kurama took this opportunity to study the features of the red Youko lying face down in the dirt. Strange how this exotic creature was actually his twin brother. Crimson flowing hair. Sun kissed skin. Elegantly slender form. In one full inspection he could easily sum up his twin in one word. Beautiful. Yoko knew he should've seemed excited to have another lovely brother but it wasn't in his character to jump up and down joyously. He'd leave such activities to Inuyasha and Koga.
He'd deal with his newfound brother when they arrived home. When there, then they could all celebrate correctly.
Kazo focused all of his strength in being a hypocrite. How was it that one minute he was praising for this devil's death? Now here he was using his own power to bring him back to life. All of the things he'd ever thought were rare to occur in his life this one took the top of the list. "When this is over beast you will have a ton of explaining to do." He whispered low.
Taisho looked down in time to see the tiniest smile tilt the dragon's face and shook his head. The damned beast.

A few days after finally arriving home the dragon lord had finally came too from his long pain filled sleep. There wasn't much eh could remember except hearing his son and other voices all around him for the longest. Was it all a dream? As a matter of fact where was he?
Surprisingly opening up his both his green eyes he looked up at a ceiling of crafted paintings that he was sure did not belong in his castle. But it did belong to someone else he knew. Oh damn and judging by the surrounding scent it was overwhelming familiar scent it was confirmed. He was inside the House of the Moon. He smirked at the less than humorous state he was in. One of his hands slide over across his chest to finger the bandages wrapped tightly around his nude torso. More white wraps were fastened on his head, forearms, and –he peeked under the sheets and blushed— someone had taken care of that area too.
Sitting up took some time until he was able to position himself against a head broad.
"I see you've finally woken up." Said a deep voice from the far side.
"Hn, it sure took you long enough to notice." He said uncaring.
Kazo and Taisho chose to be the only ones allow in the bedroom for the dragon's awakening. As calm as two steaming demons could be, they both took a seat on either side of the gray skinned dragon both giving him the evilest of glares.
A dark eyebrow rose at the daring stares. "If you two wish to kill me now would be the time to do it." He'd rather be killed now then to have to answer the questions he knew were to come. "I don't have time for those pretty man pouts."
"You'll just have to make time than beast." Kazo's blue eyes flashed a deadly ice hue. "I repaid my debt in full by saving your wretch life. Now you are in mines and I want it in the form of an explanation."
"I owe you no such thing."
"You do when it concerns by son!"
"He is not your son!"
"The boy is his son as much as he's yours Dragon!" Taisho lashed out.
"You stay out of this Dog! This has nothing to do with you!"
"It does when it concerns my future mate's wellbeing!"
Well for possibly the third time in his life, Ryuukotsesui was left flabbergasted. He looked at Taisho, than at Kazo than back to Taisho. Wow why wasn't he surprised to hear this? He knew it would only be a matter of time before the dog found out the truth of the past and would want to reclaim the fox he still cared for. How ironic that all his wrong doing would be punished with one little sentence. The same one that hurt him so long ago.
"You two are still the same." He laughed bitterly shaking his head. "I would say I'm surprised at this little arrangement but then I would be lying now wouldn't I?"
Neither spoke as he continued. "Fine I'll tell you why I kept my son away from you." The chilly frost of his orbs nearly intimidated the young daiyoukai but they held their ground. "You both never felt to neither tell nor include me in your affair years ago. You two were so selfish only wanting to keep each other in your own little world not including me. I was practically left to be alone while you secretly saw one another behind by back."
He stared at each demon one at a time for a long, long time. "Taisho I recall telling you when Kazo was coming into his adult years about my feelings for him. And yet you called me a fool for wanting to pursue a relationship with who I thought was an Alpha. So tell me what enabled you to be so different in taking my place with him?"
Taisho couldn't reply to the question because there was no reasonable answer for it.
"And you," Referring to Kazo. "You and I were close. But obviously not close enough for you to tell me that you harbored feelings for our best friend. How could you and you betray me in such a way? You both left me alone! And now you dare to say I owe you an explanation as to why I kept my boy away from you? Go to hell!"
"I have every right to have my son in my life Ryuukotsesui! I will not apologize about feelings I didn't know you had for me! If you'd been man enough to speak on those emotions than maybe we all could've been happy together!"
Taisho being the calmest of the three pushed them back from tearing each other's throats out. "Calm yourselves! We won't get anything resolved if you two can't control your emotions."
After a snarl and growl, Ryuu sat back against the bed and Kazo hopped up from the bed folding his arms.
"Ok." He turned to the dragon first. "Ryuukotsesui we…we never wanted to hurt you. That's why we never told you about our relationship at first. We wanted to remain friends but you were the one who was hell bent on drawing away from us that—"
"Oh save your senseless dribble dog. You two left me first. The minute that forbidden affair began I was left all alone."
"Was that the reason you raped me?" Kazo questioned.
"I—" Ryuu paused. "I was upset and not in my right of mind when that happened. And what about you?"
"What about me? I was the one who was raped!"
"But you wanted to punish me by allowing my son to be thrown over a cliff as if he were a worthless piece of thrash! I was coming back to you that day to apologize for the crime I committed to you. But what do I find? Uncle Kuro trying to murder my son and you doing nothing about it!"
"I did everything I could to save my son!" Kazo jumped on the bed saddling the surprised dragon's lap. His blue eyes blazed a fired rage he never knew he possessed. "Do you have any idea what that day did to me? I was depressed for months! I did all I could to save my son when Father took him away. I died inside when he disappeared from my eyes." One of hands ripped across the dragon's gray face in a rough slap. "How dare you think that I would kill my flesh and blood to assert my vengeance on you! I long sense forgave you for that rape Ryuu when my little rose was born!"
Ryuu cupped his swelling cheek while taking in the red faced Youko on his body. He couldn't remember the last time he'd seen the fox so red flustered.
"Come on Kazo." Taisho eased off the crazed fox. "Come on."
Ryuu slowly scooted back into a sitting previous place as Kazo was put a few feet away in a huffing fit. Even after all these years the damned fox still had the ability to –He peeked under the sheets—well at least he knows his friend wasn't damaged too much.
Taisho sighed retaking his place back on the edge of the bed. "Ryuu listen." He begin with the old nickname he knew would cool the dragon's temper. "We—I was wrong in what I did in the past. You're right we were selfish in what we did. Probably more so since we didn't involve you. However." He held up his hand before Ryuu could snort his victory. "You were wrong in more ways than one. Countless lives were slaughter because of you. You raped Kazo got him pregnant and took the child away without telling him. If you did or still do care of him wouldn't you want to let him in your son's life?"
"No. I won't allow this. So you can take my only means of happiness?" He chuckled at them as if he'd heard a joke. "As a matter of fact I'm surprised we're even having this conversation in the first place." When he made to get out of the bed Taisho pushed him back.
"Oh no you don't. From all the hell you've put us through all these years you're going to sit back and listen to what I have to say."
Ryuu rolled his eyes. "Go to hell."
"And you'll join him if you don't talk!" Kazo blurted out.
"And I'll make sure to keep your seat warm for you, you despicable bastard!"
"Now who's resorting to name calling?" Taisho reminded carefully. "Let's reframe from it since it's beneath our standings."
Both feeling like children actually and truly unbelievably pout like little boys. Well the best part about the whole situation was that they were all in the same room with all their limbs and other such pieces.
"Why did you save me?" Came the quiet question after a stretched pause. "Why did you two save me?"
"Because you were the only one with answers to our questions." Kazo admit smoothly.
"I've given you the answers you've wanted now either finish me off or let me leave."
"Oh no no no you haven't." Kazo sat alongside Taisho with the most conniving grin on his face. "You're going to tell me allllllll that I want to know and if I have to rake my claws through your damn body if I know everything than I will do just that. Don't test me beast. I'm likely to rip your heart out and feed it to you." All of this said with the fake friendliest smile.
Hn pity Kazo chose to use a daunting tone while he was weak and on bed rest. "What more would you like to know?"
Smiling his satisfaction Kazo scooted closer. "I want to know why you didn't kill us when you had the chance. You could've killed me in battle but you purposely missed my lifeline. Not to mention that Kurama and Sesshomaru told me that you caught them in your territory yet you didn't kill them and take the boys than. Let's not forget the time you actually did kidnap the boys but left their brothers in bloody disarray. Tell me why didn't you finish us off?"
Huh good question. Taisho was curious about too.
Ryuukotsesui turned his head away refusing to answer. Kazo grip his bottom jaw twisting back to face him. "My face is over here dragon. The threat still stands for that beating organ in your chest."
Ryuu growled meeting the twinkling dare in those crystal blue orbs. Why oh why was he allowing this damned Youko to speak to him this way? And like an obedient puppy he was going to do as he was told. "I had no reason to nor have I ever had. I don't kill Kazo. When have you known me to kill anyone for the soul purpose of finding pleasure in their death? To murder children barely in their adult years? What kind of demon would I be? And with you…there's still…." He sighed shaking his head. He wouldn't dare confessing the small still burning in his heart for him.
"You still love him don't you?" This asked by Taisho.
The handsome dark dragon chuckled. "Love? Hn, probably not as strong as it was when we were younger but it's something. I-I could never bring myself to hurt him…or you for that matter Taisho."
Before anyone could voice on what he'd just said the door to the guest bedroom burst open with five people standing in the way.
"Pére!" Cried the red blur that dashed over onto the bed latching around the dragon's neck. "Oh Pére! I'm so happy. I can't believe you're all better now."
Now this was what Ryuu needed in getting better. His arms filled with his beloved son. He cooed and swayed his whimpering pup ignoring the fact that he was squeezing him to death.
Fiorello pulled back to lick and kiss his father's face. "Pére I have splendid news."
"What is it?"
Fiorello beckoned his new found brother over to the bed. "Do you remember I told you once I thought Yoko Kurama was beau and that I had a crush on him?"
He didn't like where this was going. "Yesssss…"
"Well I found out that he was my twin frère! Can you believe it Pére? I have a frère and it's Yoko Kurama!" Fiorello hopped off the bed and into his brother's arms. "I'm so happy!"
Kurama returned the hug kissing the stop of his red hair.
Kazo laughed at his overly dramatic son. Over the past few days he's grown accustom to letting him out of his sight for longer than usual.
"Hey hey hey!" Koga put his arms between them placing himself dead center. "He was mines you perverted fox. So back off!" The poor fool hadn't realized he was in a Youko sandwich until his face was littered with warm licks and kisses from two separate sides. "Hey—cut it out…no—yuck! Stop it!"
"Why little wolfy? You taste so délicieux."
"Indeed little brother. Very delicious." Yoko licked over his cheek and dipped his tongue into the boy's mouth.
Fiorello giggled.
Sesshomaru smirked while Inuyasha laughed out loud at his friend's predicament. "Ohh poor Koga. Now he has two foxes who want to eat him up."
"Don't make fun Inuyasha." Sesshomaru looped an arm around the boy's waist. "You too have a fox and a dog that will be devouring you tonight." He nuzzled his nose into his neck.
Two cute puppy ears sagged nervously. "Oh yea…that's why we came in here right?"
"Mmm hmm."
After smothering his little wolf with a few more kisses Kurama took the lend bowing respectively to his elders. "I know you three did not wish to be disturbed but I wanted to inform you that we were going to commence the final stage of our mating ritual tonight."
"Oh I'm so excited for my mon amis!" Fiorello dragged Koga and Inuyasha together and bear hugged them both.
Kazo and Taisho shared a look before moving away from the bed.
Kazo went over to hug his little wolf cub lovingly to his chest. He still felt that they should wait on the whole mating ritual but Kurama was being overprotective and wanted to finished it as soon as possible. When this night was over Koga would no longer being under his care. All responsibilities would fall on Kurama and Sesshomaru's hands. It wasn't like they were going so far away…so why was it that he felt his baby was being taking away again?
"Father come on. You're embarrassing me." Koga mumbled against the thick chest he was pushed into.
Inuyasha's situation was worst. Taisho was covering his face in kisses and snuggles as if he were a tiny puppy all over again. InuTaisho stroked his soft white hair smelling his innocent scent. Just like Kazo he was extremely protective of his sweet little puppy. It was going to be tough letting the boy go. "Sesshomaru, Kurama I trust you too to take great care of your brothers once they are marked. If any type of harm comes to them you two will equally be punished. Am I understood?"
"Yes father."
"Yes God—Yes father."
Taisho hid the smile on his face from the new title Kurama began using a couple of days ago. True he was still getting use to call him and Kazo that but they would work on the status of parentage after all of the mating was over.
Fiorello danced over to his father's side wrapping an arm on his sore shoulders. "Isn't this wonderful? Mon amis are all going to mate tonight!" He squealed happily. "I shall have more frères. It's so fluffy!"
Ryuu resisted rolling his eyes. "Yes my son it's all very nice."
"Let's make it fluffier Pére." Fiorello cheerfully pop corned off the bed heading for his new found father. "Pretty Pére," A name he's come to call Kazo. "Come, come." He pulled the older silver fox over to sit beside his father. "No more fighting between you two. I want us all to get along."
Kazo blinked at the grinning dragon and wanted to smack his face. "Little Rose you ask so much of me. I cannot be kind to him."
"Pourquoi?" Fiorello asked with a tilt of his head.
"Because I cannot forgive him. He's taken you from me and kept us apart—"
"But I'm here now." Fiorello crawled over to sit in his pretty father's lap. "Pere told me what my grandpere did to me. But he never blamed you."
"He didn't?"
"He didn't?" Taisho echoed.
Fio giggled. "No. He never blamed my Pretty Pére of throwing me over the cliff. I know everything."
Kazo turned accusing eyes at the suddenly sightseeing dragon looking at everything in the room but him. "You deceitful devil! You said you blamed me for his death!"
He shrugged. "Well I don't blame you for all of it."
"Bastard."
At least it was a start. Fiorello snuggled into his pretty father's body. "I know you didn't mean for it to happen. But now I am here."
"And," Kazo urged. "You don't blame me?" He sniffled.
"No I don't. How could I?" Fiorello cupped Kazo's cheeks and pressed a kiss on his mother's lips. "You gave me life. You are the same to me as my Pére is."
This was a day Ryuu secretly had hoped for some time. Seeing these two together was the most blessed moment he'd seen in a forever. He was so distracted by the loving scene, it almost missed him when Taisho reached over to wipe a tear from his eye. Looking over at the dog demon, he saw a soft smile on his old friend's face.
"It's going to take some getting used to."
Ryuu nodded. "Yes…it is."
"And?" Taisho sat next to him. "Are you willing to give it a try?"
"I-I don't know…I'll need more time… What about you?"
"I will also need time."
Taisho looked up to see his son's paired off each sharing a loving smile or a caring kiss. "Yes I think we'll all need lots of time…"
Ryuukotsesui knew that it was going to take some time before he was fully forgiven for the crimes he's commited. Indeed punishment would be delivered and he was fine with with that. No amtter what was chosen for him he would take it without question. There was no telling when that time would come for his apologies to ease the suffering he's caused but all he would be able to do is put up the effort...at least for his son's sake. And maybe some day...the others...
TBC: Ok I know I said that this would be the final chapter but I split it in two ^_^. Only thing is is that…The next chapter is going to be a long lemon chapter. Yes it's been a long time coming but it's time for some niccccccccce sexxxxxxxxy lemonnnnnnnnns. ^_^
And I'll try to focus more on Kurama x Koga and Inuyasha x Sesshomaru in the lemon chapter because I feel like I've been neglecting them I this story. I don't want the full focus on Kazo and Taisho even though I know a lot of you don't mind ^_^
