Chapter 30 – The Extremes of Pain and Joy

Flying up to ground-level, Sesshoumaru was suddenly in the middle of the Silver Dragons’ circle.
“Save my Mate!” he cried as he lay Inuyasha gently on the grass.
“We will. We only need keep the barrier up for a short time longer. Allow our Golden cousins to arrive.”
“NO! You will begin now! I will keep any of the inhabitants of this cursed island away! Drop the fucking barrier!” Sesshoumaru roared.
They did as he asked, and he charged at the horde of youkai and lesser dragons; Tetsusaiga in one hand, Bakusaiga in the other.
They didn’t stand a chance. Sesshoumaru, in his fury and distress, destroyed them all in a very similar fashion to the time he destroyed the minor-demons Bakuya had brought to ‘slow him down’ back when he was hunting Magatsuhi. Once again, for the attackers, it proved futile.
Bloodied from his fighting, Sesshoumaru turned back once he had either killed every inhabitant, or they had run from him.
Running back to the Silver Dragons, he noticed that the mage was with them too, as well as the Dragon that had protected Inuyasha before.
“Can you save him?” Sesshoumaru asked, already beginning to draw out the Tenseiga.
“I am not certain. He has been drained to a fatal degree, and therein lies the problem,” Kitai, the best of their healers answered. “Also, any of the energy he did regain, he gave to your pups. They are grown enough to survive outside of your Mate, which in itself is a miracle.
“Talk to him. He needs to hear your voice, Lord Sesshoumaru.”
Sesshoumaru dropped to the ground instantly. Seeing that Inuyasha’s eyes were closed, he spoke to him mentally again as he moved to hold his head in his lap. ~Please, Little Mate…I love you more than this life…stay with me. Stay with me and help me raise our pups…please… You have always fought. It was one of the things I always respected you for, that you never gave up. Now, it is more important than ever that you not give up. Please, stay with me…stay with us…~
~I’m trying Sesshou…but our pups are more important than I am…they have to survive. I love you so much. No matter what happens…please, never forget that.~ …Inuyasha smiled then… ~I’m really happy I didn’t wait to open my heart and love you. Happy that we became Mates so quickly…ya’ know? I am so proud to be your Mate. Love our pups. Don’t forget to smile. If I don’t make it, remember I’ll be watching out for you all, and I love it when you smile. Let our children make you laugh still. Please.~
~Inuyasha! Onegai! Do not talk like that! You will be by my side! You will smile and laugh with me! You must stay by my side…Please! ~
Sesshoumaru’s eyes opened wide in horror as he heard Inuyasha’s heart stop.
“NO!!!” Sesshoumaru screamed aloud. “Yasha! Oh, Kami please! Stay with us! Stay with me!”
The Silver Dragons worked quickly. Making a long, horizontal incision in Inuyasha’s abdomen, Kitai began to remove the pure white, ‘fur-born’, premature pups. Three Dragons stood ready to take each pup and clean them.
First out was the little male whose nose popped out first. He had long white ears, just as Sesshoumaru had in his true form, and carried a large, bright sun of pure gold in the center of his forehead, with a silver crescent moon inside the sun, covering nearly half of the disc. Holding him gently, they removed him from Inuyasha’s womb.
They were surprised when the first pup yelped, and they saw that the second pup, a female, was actually biting the tail of the first, as if to make him wait. She had long white ears as well, and held a large blue crescent moon on her forehead, with a smaller copper sun in the curve of the moon. A second Dragon took hold of her and laid her beside her brother.
The third popped his nose out on his own too, and was taken gently and laid beside the first two. This one had triangular ears with long hair covering them, just like Inuyasha’s. In the center of his forehead, a sun and moon had merged: half a crescent moon, the other half a sun, both identical in color to his parent’s markings.
All noticed that their markings looked more like the marks created by the love of a mating, and they realized that this fit perfectly; they had been created in a perfect love.
The Dragons looked on in great sadness, as they saw Inuyasha’s body not even beginning to heal itself. They could already tell how powerful the pups were, and it was obvious to all that Inuyasha had given all of his demonic energy to them instead of keeping any of it to heal himself.
Kitai moved to Sesshoumaru’s side. “Sesshoumaru-sama. Please. He is gone, and the Tenseiga will not work for him. You must look to your pups now.”
Sesshoumaru raised eyes filled with such pain that Kitai actually stumbled back in shock. He’d never seen any youkai, and certainly no DaiYoukai, ever show this intensity of emotion.
Sesshoumaru lay Inuyasha’s head down on the grass gently.
Holding the Tenseiga tightly, he sobbed as he realized it would not call to Inuyasha.
He moved to his pups. He dropped to his knees. He then fell to his hands, and sobbed with such raw agony that the Dragons watching, who, being Divine, did not feel much emotion, all felt tears come to their eyes as well.
His tears washed his pups even further.

***

“Sesshoumaru-sama, we cannot allow you to take his body.” The Golden Dragon held up one hand when Sesshoumaru turned to fight. “Please, listen. He heard our speech, that none but another Tenrai-Dragon has ever heard. He was able to speak with us in the same way. This means he was destined to become a Celestial Being himself. He will be the first Tenrai-Inu. I am sorry. I wish we could allow you to take him, to at least have a memorial service for him, but we cannot. Please understand.”
Sesshoumaru replied in a voice roughened from despair, “I cannot understand, but I will not fight you. Without you, my pups would never have survived.”
“We will escort you home, to help you carry your pups,” the Dragon said next, as he carefully placed a borrowed silver haori over Sesshoumaru’s bare shoulders.
“I will only ask you to take me to the Slayer’s Village where we were staying, and where our older children are still,” Sesshoumaru said softly. “Thank you.”

*****

The people of the Slayer’s Village got yet another massive shock the next day.
Instead of just one, an entire battle-ready group of Golden Dragons landed in their midst; a few Silver Dragons came this time as well.
Rin and Shippo ran from the main hall, crying, calling to their fathers. Sesshoumaru gave Miroku a look, before catching both children in his arms before they could go any further. He turned them and walked into the main hall.
His actions told them much: Inuyasha was not in perfect health. They still did not expect what his words would be.
Miroku, Sango, and Kohaku followed them into the hall, but held back. Sesshoumaru waved them forward.
“Inuyasha…” he choked slightly, his voice thick with tears. “Inuyasha…” He tried again, “Our pups were born healthy, and the Dragons are bringing them inside. Inuyasha…we…we couldn’t save him.”
As Rin and Shippo cried out a denial, so did Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku. The Dragons looked on in profound sadness as not only the children, but Inuyasha’s friends, and his Mate, the proud Lord of the Western Lands, all dropped to their knees in grief.
After a time, Sesshoumaru rose, holding both Rin and Shippo tightly. Turning to Miroku he said, “We will return in a moon to bring Rin’s friends and Kohaku to the Palace. For now, I will return there with our children and mourn my Mate.
“The Dragons….they cannot allow Inuyasha’s body to be buried in mortal ground. Because he is the only other ever able to speak their ‘language,’ he will become a Tenrai-Inu. The very first. His mortal body will be buried in Tenkai. We will have a memorial for him, and all are invited,” Sesshoumaru whispered painfully.
Sesshoumaru turned to Rin and Shippo. “Would you both like to stay here one more night? Or may we return to the Castle? It is up to you; if you will find comfort with your friends here, we can stay until tomorrow,” Sesshoumaru offered.
Rin looked at Shippo, they nodded to each other, and Rin answered for them both. “Otōsan, can we return home?”
Sesshoumaru hugged them both tightly. He leaned down and whispered so only they could hear, “Yes, and thank you.”

*****

The Silver Dragons had brought Lord Inuyasha to their own Heavenly Lands to prepare him. First, he would lay in state for three days, then he would be prayed over for one moon, starting the day of his memorial service on Earth. Then he would receive a burial for his physical body; and finally, he would be resurrected three days later as a Tenrai-Inu. He would become a Protector, as they all were…a divine creature.
Kagayaku, who had guarded him while Sesshoumaru fought Kagai, refused to leave his side. Wracked with guilt, which was nearly impossible for a Heavenly Being, he declared he would be the one to prepare him. After he was finished, he covered his nude body with his Mate’s clothing, feeling that this is what Sesshoumaru would wish.
~Sesshou…Beloved.~
They were soon all gathered together in the main hall, and were there to see Kōmyō return from his guarding of the Slayer’s Village. He immediately asked to be allowed to pay his respects to the brave and selfless young Lord.
He quickly came back out into the main hall and asked, “How was his stomach wound able to heal before he died? Isn’t that strange, that he would have the power to begin healing, yet you would not have been able to save him? Has that ever happened?”
Kagayaku looked strangely at Kōmyō. “No, you are mistaken. His wound from birthing his pups could not heal…he died before they made the cut and took them from his body. I prepared his body myself, and the wound is open. You know I may not change that.”
“I am not mistaken Kagayaku,” Kōmyō asserted.
This caused his cousins to bolt into the room where Inuyasha lay in-state. Kagayaku ran to Inuyasha’s side said only one word: “How?”
Kitai came running.
“I do not understand this. He has no life, but his body heals itself?” He forced himself to think very hard for a time. Finally, “I know it is custom to begin the moon of prayer after the earthly memorial service is done, but I believe we should begin this now. I cannot explain this.”
All present knew how strange this was…Kitai had been alive for millennia, and for him to not know…well, before this, all would have said that was impossible.

*****

Three days after they had returned to the Palace, the entire Western Lands had been in mourning for those days, and the Palace seemed a dark place.
~Sesshou…~
Sesshoumaru was not doing well.
‘Perhaps we should have stayed in the Village,’ he thought despondently. ‘Here, I see his face everywhere, and I am imagining that I hear him calling my name every few minutes. How am I to survive this darkness that is now in my soul? The sky is no longer the same blue, in fact, no colors are the same. How is that? And how can the world continue to spin when Inuyasha is no longer in it?’
~Sesshou…I will always love you.~
The only thing that had kept him going was their children. Rin and Shippo needed him now more than ever. And their pups…. He’d promised to love them as Inuyasha would have…he couldn’t break his promise. He also could not bear to name them…not yet.
~Always…~
‘We should be choosing their names together…’
Inuyasha’s memorial was set for later that day, and he had no idea how he would get through it.
‘Unless…I become who I was before I found love? That sounds better…. But no…I cannot do that to Rin or Shippo. I cannot do that to our pups and still love them as he would have.’
‘I would give up anything and everything if I could only have you back, Shinkon.’
Sesshoumaru was currently at his desk, bathed in the soft light of early dawn, staring at the sheathed Tetsusaiga. He had not slept or eaten since Inuyasha’s abduction. Not eating was not a problem. He had long been able to go for many days, even weeks without food. He had not noticed any hunger. He had come to his private office hoping to use work as an excuse to be left alone for a while, but as he heard a commotion outside his closed doors, it seemed even that short peace would be denied him.
Kaito entered, bowing respectfully. “My Lord, you asked to have Lord Inuyasha’s friends brought to you when they arrived. They are here now, and their rooms are ready for them in the family-wing of the castle as you ordered. Servants are taking their belongings there as we speak,” he explained as he waved Miroku, Sango, and Kohaku into the office.
While the majority of the guests had arrived the day before, Sesshoumaru had asked Miroku and his family to arrive this day, wanting to be able to be free of distractions and able to devote his time to them. Only the Heavenly Dragons now had yet to arrive, and they would come a short time before sunset.
Sesshoumaru rose quickly. “Thank you Kaito. That will be all for now.”
Kaito bowed himself out of the room.
Sesshoumaru walked forward. “Miroku-sama, Sango-sama, Kohaku-kun, it is good to see you once more. Your journey here was easy, I trust?”
Miroku bowed deeply. “Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama, it was. Thank you for asking. How are Rin-chan and Shippo-kun? We have all been very worried for them, and for you, Sire.”
“I feel I can speak freely with you, as we have become friends. We, all of us here, will be alright…eventually. It is good for us to have you here at this time. There will be many coming who will be full-youkai, Lords and such from other provinces in Japan and neighboring countries, and to have friends we consider as close as family near us will help. If you could, perhaps spend some time with Rin and Shippo? I would be grateful,” Sesshoumaru admitted.
While they didn’t show it, they were amazed at how much Sesshoumaru seemed to have changed. Even more, they were stunned that all of the things Inuyasha had brought out in him seemed to be there still. Miroku especially had feared Sesshoumaru would slip back into his former self. While he knew he would when around others, to see him being more like he was with Inuyasha while around them…it was good to see.
“Of course,” Miroku answered. “We will do anything we can to help, in any way possible.”
“Thank you. For now, I will have a servant show you to your rooms. They then have orders to show you the Palace if you wish, or to be taken to see the children. I will see you at the afternoon meal. While I will have to make an appearance in the formal dining area, I will then join you in the private dining room, so we will not be forced to listen to empty words from those who did not know him. All from your Village are welcome to dine with us. Until then, I will leave you to rest,” Sesshoumaru offered.
All three bowed. “Thank you Sesshoumaru-sama,” Miroku said quietly.
They turned and left, leaving Sesshoumaru alone once again. He was saddened, but allowed himself to feel some small relief. At least Rin and Shippo would have them here. Rin’s friends’ families were being quartered in the tower next to theirs, so she would have them to lean on as well.

*****

A short time before sunset, all in attendance gathered as planned at the side of the Great Palace. They would all walk as one to the cliffs overlooking the ocean.
For Sesshoumaru, watching the sun dropping below the horizon over the water, it made him think of how much Inuyasha had loved this same sight. How excited he had been to see this on his first days here.

*   *   *   *   *
”C’mon Sesshou! I’ve been here three days, and each time I’ve missed it! I’m not gonna miss it again!” Inuyasha called out to him as he ran down the steps and out to the cliff’s edge. Sesshoumaru followed at a slower pace.
“Inuyasha, you will be here for the rest of our lives. How many times do you think you will see it? Wait!” Sesshoumaru finally said, grabbing Inuyasha’s arm and spinning him into his chest.
“Wha-?” Inuyasha barely got out before his mouth was claimed by Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru nibbled on his lips as he said, “Mmmm…I see something here more beautiful than any sunset or sunrise.”
“I think you’re right, Sesshou…I see something more beautiful too,” Inuyasha whispered, before surrendering his mouth and melting into Sesshoumaru’s arms.
*   *   *   *   *

Sesshoumaru felt jolted as the memory was interrupted by Rin taking one of his hands and Shippo taking the other.
Followed closely by Miroku, Sango, their children, and Kohaku, and their new Pups carried by trusted nurses, Sesshoumaru walked to the very edge of the cliff. Fanning out behind them were the others from the Slayer’s Village first, and then all others who had come to pay their respects.
Coming from over the ocean, from the disc of the sun, nearly all of the Heavenly Dragons flew in low, and then landed near the cliff’s edge. Transforming quickly, they stood beside Sesshoumaru and his family.
Kitai stepped forward and handed Sesshoumaru a lock of Inuyasha’s silver hair, tied with a golden ribbon.
Miroku had graciously offered to conduct the service, and Sesshoumaru would be forever indebted to him. He knew the Houshi’s grief was deep, and technically Sesshoumaru should be doing this, but he could not speak without tears and he knew it. He also knew that Miroku knew it too. For once in his life, he was grateful that a human could sense his weakness.
As his older children cried softly by his side, Sesshoumaru stared out over the vast ocean, realizing that, as empty as he had always thought it looked, his heart now felt even emptier.

*****

After they had returned to the Castle, Sesshoumaru saw to the guests first, assuring that they were all well taken care of. He then promptly returned to his family and their close friends.
Speaking quietly with Miroku, Sesshoumaru asked him to find out if the parents of Rin’s friends would still allow them to come live at the Castle. He mentioned that he was thinking of taking the children to China, and possibly a few other places, and he wanted to be sure the girls’ parents would approve. Miroku assured him he would ask them immediately.
Sango approached. “Sesshoumaru-sama? Would you like me to care for the children for a while? Would you like some time to yourself?” she asked as she bowed respectfully.
Sesshoumaru looked up, surprised. “Yes, thank you, I would. But first, you are now family from my Mate’s ‘side’. You no longer need to bow to me. You and your family will always be welcome in my home. In fact, if you would agree to it, you may come as well when we travel. Please think about it,” he offered.
Miroku and Sango both looked up in shock at first, but then they both smiled for the first time in days. Nodding to each other, Miroku answered, “We would be honored. To still be around the children would be a true blessing, and I can have my second-in-command head the Village while we are away.”
“I am happy to hear it,” Sesshoumaru replied. “For now, I will take you up on your offer Lady Sango, and take some time for myself.”

*****

Walking in the moonlight on the cliffs in front of Inuyasha’s side of the castle, Sesshoumaru allowed himself to remember more of their time together.

*   *   *   *   *
After breakfast, Inuyasha ran ahead, laughing, trying to get Sesshoumaru to chase him.
Just as he was looking back to taunt Sesshoumaru about being too slow to catch him, Sesshoumaru suddenly appeared directly in front of him, and he ran right into his chest.
“It seems I have caught some wild creature,” Sesshoumaru joked.
Inuyasha growled playfully, and then smiled, flashing his fangs.
They play-wrestled each other to the ground, and played this way for quite a while; both feeling that, somehow, they were gaining back some small part of what they’d lost from their childhoods.
Eventually they stopped, and Sesshoumaru held Inuyasha between his legs and back against his chest as they watched the sun move across the sky.
*   *   *   *   *
Sesshoumaru arched his back, crying out at the intense pleasure.
“Oh, fuck! Yasha! I’m…ready…ahhhhh…”
Inuyasha was currently swallowing his cock down entirely as he stretched him with his fingers.
“Oh, yes…I think you’re ready too,” Inuyasha growled, sending chills through Sesshoumaru’s body from the dominant sound.
Inuyasha rose up above him, settling himself between his legs. Caressing Sesshoumaru’s face, gently stroking the stripes there, he kissed him deeply as he rubbed the head of his dripping cock against his entrance.
And then he drove in to the hilt; gently but fully, all at once, at the same time as he drove his fangs into his Mating Mark on Sesshoumaru’s neck.
Sesshoumaru screamed his pleasure as his Little Mate took him forcefully yet slowly, driving him insane.
*   *   *   *   *
‘Mmmm….is this what you wanted my love?’ Sesshoumaru asked.
‘Oh, yes…just like this…’
Sesshoumaru had removed all of Inuyasha’s clothing except for his kimono and juban, and those protected his skin as he was backed up to the large tree on the cliff.
Inuyasha wrapped his legs around Sesshoumaru’s waist.
‘Now…’ Inuyasha moaned.
‘Ahh, yes….now…’ Sesshoumaru answered as he drove up into his Mate’s exquisitely tight body.
Inuyasha’s head fell back, and Sesshoumaru sank his fangs into his Mark on Inuyasha’s neck. Inuyasha screamed his pleasure to the Moon above, his eyes wide open yet blind with rapture.
*   *   *   *   *

‘Gods, I miss you Little Mate,’ Sesshoumaru’s heart cried out.
‘Perhaps a trip to the continent is not such a bad idea,’ he thought. ‘I cannot stay focused here, and I want to be a good father. If I cannot focus on the present, how can I do that?’
When he reached their tree, he sat beneath its branches and let himself become lost in the memories that played before his eyes.

*****

After seeing all the guests off the next morning, Sesshoumaru set to making preparations to leave immediately.
~Sesshou...~
He could admit that he felt relief that Miroku and his family would come with them, as well as Rin’s friends. He wanted his children to be able to heal from this, and felt this was the best way for that to happen.

*****

As Kitai and the other Dragons returned, he was anxious to find out what was happening with Lord Inuyasha, and went immediately to where the few Dragons who stayed behind were praying over him and chanting.
Suddenly, Kitai heard Inuyasha’s voice clearly in his mind.
~For fuck’s sake! Enough with all the chanting already!~
The Dragons all stumbled back in shock and silence fell.
All in the room heard Inuyasha’s heart begin to beat once more.
Kitai now believed he knew what had happened, and tried to explain:
“His soul was insistent on remaining with his family, but his body was dying. In truth, he had the chi to heal himself, but gave it to his pups instead, even as his life was leaving him. Bringing him here, we have forced his soul to follow to a place where it is very hard for a physical, earthly body to heal, but it refuses to leave the earthly-plane so easily.
“We must heal him fully and return him to his Mate and children,” Kitai finished.
“But can we allow him to leave the Heavens, now that he has heard our Celestial voices? Spoken our own language to us? None that dwell in the mortal realm, even if they themselves are immortal, are permitted this!” another insisted.
“Has there ever been a creature alive on the Earth who could do those things?” yet another asked.
Kitai argued back, “It matters not. He will be given a choice. First, for now, we will move him to where we can care for him more easily. Second, we will allow his body time to fully heal. If he can complete the healing process, then we must notify his Mate very soon, and they must be reunited. If the young Lord is not fit to move, but is guaranteed to survive, then we will bring Lord Sesshoumaru here, into the Blessed Lands, to allow him to see his Mate and take him home.”
“The rules of the Blessed Lands have never been broken! We cannot allow him to leave!” a Dragon behind Kitai insisted.
“You say these are ‘the rules,’ but this has never happened before!” Kitai said forcefully as he turned to face his younger cousins. “You cannot mean to say that if his physical body has life, that we should hold him here against his will? Yes, if his body had stayed lifeless, he would have been reborn into a Celestial body. But it did not, and we all witnessed this! His soul is still bound to his earthly body, and so, by ‘the rules’ he cannot stay here!”
Holding up a hand to those who would further object, Kitai continued, “Yes, I know. Nothing like this has happened before. What is important is that it is happening now. Can we, any of us, deny these two new fathers, who love one another so purely, the chance to build a life together? This Young One has suffered enough. The Heavens should not add to that.”
Everything grew quiet as a truly ancient, pearlescent-white Dragon approached. He was so ancient, even his name had been lost to time. All bowed before him as he took in the situation.
~Sesshou...I will always love you.~
The Old One spoke.
“Kitai is correct. We will see if he has the strength left now to complete his healing process on his own with no outside help. If he does not, he will die in that earthly body and become divine. If he is able to heal, then we will give him the choice: To stay here and become a Guardian, or to return to his family,” the Ancient One proclaimed.
~Always...~

*****

Within a month, Inuyasha was clearly healing and going to survive. He was not fully healed and was still quite weak (mostly from being in the Blessed Lands still), but he was certainly healed enough to return to his family, where he would regain his strength at his normal rate.
Kōmyō was sent to bring Sesshoumaru to their lands.
He returned quickly…alone.
“The Royal Family has left Japan,” Kōmyō reported. “Until they return we may not approach them, as you know. I will try to find him, and will follow until they return to Japan. Then I will bring him here,” he promised.
Kitai turned to Inuyasha. “I know you wish to return home, but I feel that your spiritual training is of paramount importance. Will you consent to stay here and be trained by us until your Mate can be summoned? You may study any other subjects you wish while you are here, and we will do all we can to return you to your family as soon as possible.
“Of course, it is your decision. You may return to the Palace to wait for them to return, but I would prefer it if you would stay and receive our training.”
Inuyasha knew he’d be smart to agree. It would be different if he wouldn’t be alone in the Palace until Sesshoumaru could be found. His Mate had told him about the council too, and he knew the trouble they could cause. Better to wait. He bowed his head. “Thank you Kitai. I could never repay all you’ve done for me.”

***

Kitai took over Inuyasha’s spiritual training himself. A few days later, he couldn’t help but ask, “Inuyasha, this vast amazing universe, this is the Celestial Realm, you do not wish to stay?”
“Kitai, I’m sorry if this makes you feel badly, but I’m not sorry for how I feel. I wish there was another word beyond ‘love,’ since it doesn’t even come close to how I feel. All I can say is that I love Sesshoumaru,” Inuyasha choked back tears.
“I love our children…Shippo, Rin, our Pups…I don’t even know their names or what they look like yet! Even if it meant I would be cursed to eternity in darkness after my death, I would still want to return…even if it was only for a day…just to be with them again. To feel Sesshoumaru’s touch again.”
“Then we will return you. As much as I wish it were otherwise, we are prohibited from helping you heal; so you must rest as much as you can. For one such as you, I realize this is difficult…you are not the type to stay still…but you must if you wish to be able to leave here on your own, before Sesshoumaru returns to Japan. Or you may stay here until he does return, no matter if you are fully healed. The Old One has said it,” Kitai promised.
Inuyasha bowed his head in acquiescence and went back to his studies.

*****

Kōmyō couldn’t believe the trip the Royal Family and their friends were taking. He was able to watch over them all, but was prohibited from interfering in their lives until they returned to Japan. He watched with a contented heart as the children healed from most of their outward sorrow, but was saddened by seeing Sesshoumaru’s still-deep grief.
‘It’s times like these when I detest the ‘rules’…Sesshoumaru should be told his Mate is alive. If he knew, he’d rush back to Japan; instead he stays away, avoiding his painful memories as much as he can,’ Kōmyō lamented.
China. Russia. Persia. Finally, they were traveling east again, and Kōmyō was actually becoming impatient.
‘India too?’ he thought crossly.

*****

Arriving home, Sesshoumaru realized that while the trip had been good for his children, he had not improved himself.
‘I just want my Mate back. I was so stupid to have wasted centuries…time I could have had him with me. If I had kept him near me from his birth, perhaps we could have fallen in love so much sooner. Perhaps things would have been different. I still hear his voice in my heart...we should have had eternity together.’
Miroku and Sango had taken Rin’s friends to visit their parents in the Slayer’s Village upon their return, and would be back in a few days. Rin, Shippo, and even Kohaku had refused to leave his side.
He was back in his private office again.
Once again, he was disturbed by a commotion outside his office doors.
‘Honestly! Is there no peace to be found anywhere?’ he ranted to himself.
His doors swung open to reveal a Golden Dragon he had not yet met.
“My Lord,” the Dragon bowed, “I am Kōmyō, and I watched over your children while you were away the first time. I…”
“Why are you here?” Sesshoumaru interrupted.
“My Lord, you must come with me. I am not allowed to explain, and I am sorry for that. You must simply trust me and come with me now,” Kōmyō replied.
“Where could you wish me to go?” Sesshoumaru asked. “I will not leave my children at this time. Rin and Shippo are healing but still suffering, and even in my emptiness, I must not leave them.”
“Please My Lord, trust me. I have summoned an entire contingent of our guard here to protect them while you are away. You need to come with me now, there is not a moment to waste,” Kōmyō argued.
Sesshoumaru just shook his head in acquiescence. He had not truly slept in months, and did not have the energy to argue any further.
As he led Kōmyō from his office, Rin approached.
“Otōsan? Is everything alright?” she asked worriedly. Kōmyō had appeared in her life before, and it had ended with her heart being shattered. What could his arrival today portend?
“Yes, Aijō, things are alright. I must leave with Kōmyō for a short while. I promise I will be back soon. Do not worry, and please tell Shippo and Kohaku not to worry. Nothing will happen to me, I promise. You trust me, yes?” Sesshoumaru asked her.
“Yes, Otōsan, just please be careful,” she bowed her head and moved from their path.
As they passed her, Kōmyō reached out to touch her cheek gently. “Take heart, young one,” he whispered softly as he moved away from her.
When they reached the front of the Castle, Kōmyō explained, “You will have to ride with me, My Lord. Even you cannot reach our homelands from here.”
They exited the main palace gates, and Kōmyō took his true form. Sesshoumaru leaped and landed on his back, and they flew north, but also nearly straight up into the sky.

*****

Sesshoumaru was regretting his decision to come with this strange Dragon. What was all this about?
As they landed, he recognized Kitai, as well as Kagayaku. Kitai came to meet him immediately.
“Lord Sesshoumaru, please come with me,” he said as he turned quickly and walked away.
Sesshoumaru followed him into a large castle complex.
He was led down long corridors that looked nothing like anything on the Earth, holding beings like he had never seen, but only the Dragons were physical beings in this place. He also realized that his demonic power was muted here.
Kitai opened a large door, and waved for Sesshoumaru to enter first.
He hesitated, and then walked inside.
Before him was another Celestial creature, he supposed. Long flowing silver hair, robes of white embroidered with silver and purple…with twitching koinu ears?
Sesshoumaru’s eyes widened in shock, and he watched as the one in front of him turned around in seeming-slow-motion.
“Sesshou…I’ve been waiting for you to get back. Can I come home now?” Inuyasha asked with a soft smile.
“Inuyasha?!? How…? Is this real, or am I to have to leave you again?”
Sesshoumaru could only think that they were showing him Inuyasha as he would be here…that he was in the process of becoming a Heavenly Being.
“Sesshou, it’s real, I promise. Can I come home now?” Inuyasha asked softly.
Sesshoumaru reached out hesitantly, unsure if he was allowed to touch.
Instead, Inuyasha closed the distance and buried his face in Sesshoumaru’s chest. He began to cry softly.
Sesshoumaru gently tilted his chin up, and stared, finally, into tear-drenched, wide open, golden eyes. The first time he’d truly looked into his fully-open eyes since before he’d been abducted. Sesshoumaru’s knees collapsed, and they both went to the floor, Sesshoumaru holding Inuyasha in his lap.
“Yasha! My Yasha!” he cried, and framing his face with his hands, he promptly took possession of his Little Mate’s lips.
Kitai closed the door quietly to leave them alone for a time.

***

When they broke apart slightly for air, Sesshoumaru lifted Inuyasha into his arms and carried him to the bed in the room.
“This is your room?” he asked.
“Yeah, since I woke up,” Inuyasha replied.
“Lay with me? I…I am exhausted, and cannot go without rest any longer.” He was truly on the verge of total collapse for the first time in his life.
“Oh, Gods, I’m so sorry! You’ve suffered so much!” Inuyasha began, only to be interrupted by Sesshoumaru.
“Please do not apologize for the miracle of having you back in my arms. Just lay with me…”
Sesshoumaru stripped them both and then lay next to his Mate. He curled himself and Moko-moko around Inuyasha’s slightly smaller body and held him tightly.
“Yasha, this is…like a dream to me, and I am…afraid to fall asleep…if I do, you may be gone again when I wake up. I have not slept properly since you were taken,” Sesshoumaru whispered.
“Sesshou, I promise you can sleep. I never thought I’d feel you next to me again. I’m still not sure how it happened, and the Dragons will explain later…but only now do I finally feel like I’m in Paradise,” Inuyasha smiled as he wrapped his arms tightly around Sesshoumaru, placed a kiss over his heart, and closed his eyes as he snuggled into Sesshoumaru’s chest.
Sesshoumaru kissed him softly and finally fell asleep too.

***

Upon waking a few hours later, it took Sesshoumaru a few moments to realize just where he was, and just who he was curled around.
‘Yasha?! Oh, Gods, it is real! He is here with me….’ he thought happily.
Inuyasha whispered, “Mmmm…Sesshou?”
“Yes my love. Is there anything you need?”
“Gods, yes,” Inuyasha moaned, licking at Sesshoumaru’s chest. “I know I’m not back to normal yet, and I’m still pretty weak ‘cause we’re here in this place, but…could you… Uh…do you think that…?”
He was interrupted by Sesshoumaru devouring his mouth.
Sesshoumaru’s tongue plunged into Inuyasha’s mouth forcefully, and Inuyasha moaned in delight; Sesshoumaru felt he could drown in the divine taste of his Mate. He then dragged his mouth away and began to lick down Inuyasha’s neck and chest.
“Oh, gods Sesshou…yes, please. I want you so badly,” Inuyasha whimpered as he arched his neck to give Sesshoumaru better access.
Sesshoumaru raised his head. He had been ready to drive him wild and bring him to completion with his mouth and hands. Surely, Inuyasha was too weak for them to do more, right?
“Yasha, you are still healing. I can tell…”
“Please Sesshou, I need you. I want you inside of me, filling me again. I want to feel you moving deep in my body, your hands touching me, your lips on mine. Please?” he begged.
Sesshoumaru still had no defense against his Little Mate.
“Yasha,” he breathed as he moved lower, licking over his once-again flawless stomach. His mouth soon met with Inuyasha’s straining erection, and he licked and sucked his precious Mate until he came.
“Ahhhh! Sesshou!” Inuyasha cried out weakly.
“Mmmm,” the Youkai hummed as he moved even lower. He moved between Inuyasha’s legs, pushed his knees up gently to expose him…and began to stretch and prepare his Little Mate.
“Oh, fuck! Sesshou!” Inuyasha cried out as Sesshoumaru’s long, elegant fingers plunged deep. Then he whined high in his throat as Sesshoumaru’s long, wicked tongue entered him alongside his fingers. Inuyasha was losing himself in the pure ecstasy of Sesshoumaru…
Sesshoumaru continued with his preparations for a few more minutes, until Inuyasha began to thrash harder on the bed. He did not want him to do any harm to himself from being over-excited.
“Sesshou, please…I’m so ready…I’ve missed you so much. Please…I need you…I have to know you’re real and not another dream.”
Rising up, he hovered over Inuyasha, and tears filled his eyes as he looked down on the face he’d never thought to see in this life again, unless it was in his own dreams.
Inuyasha’s eyes were closed, but he opened them when he felt liquid drip onto his lower lip. ‘Salt?’ he wondered as he licked his lips. “Sesshou?” he whispered as he pulled Sesshoumaru’s face down to his and licked his tears away. “What is it? Is there something wrong?”
“Wrong? Impossible. I have never been so happy in my life. I love you Yasha, my own Angel,” he whispered into a twitching, silken ear as he slid into Inuyasha’s tight heat.
“Sess-shou!” Inuyasha cried out in bliss as he felt Sesshoumaru slide all the way in. No waiting; instead he got exactly what he’d needed, to be filled completely. “Oh, yes! Ahhh…don’t stop, please!”
Sesshoumaru pulled out nearly all the way, and then thrust back inside so gently, that the tears that were already in Inuyasha’s eyes now poured over his eyelashes. He wrapped his arms around Sesshoumaru’s neck and pulled him down for a kiss, before sliding his hands down to caress the muscled back above him.
They made love, slowly and tenderly; Sesshoumaru trying to show Inuyasha just how much he meant to him without words, with only his body. They kept their eyes open and watched each other intently. The sight of the other feeling such euphoria drove their desire ever higher, as they moved with each other so perfectly.
The slow, sensual way Sesshoumaru moved, the way his muscles flexed in his back under his hands, the way his shaft stretched and filled him so completely, all of it…it was too much for the recently-dead young Lord. He came hard, screaming his ecstasy into Sesshoumaru’s mouth.
Sesshoumaru tried, but he could not hold back. Feeling Inuyasha’s body clamp down on him so tightly, drinking down his precious Mate’s scream of pleasure, seeing the rapture reflected in his eyes, Sesshoumaru came too; allowing Inuyasha to swallow his own cry.
When they had regained their breath, Sesshoumaru said, “I don’t care what anyone says…I’m taking you home tomorrow.”
Inuyasha agreed readily. “Please, yes. I will heal like normal once I’m back there, and I want to see Rin and Shippo and our Pups. Are they truly okay Sesshou?”
“Yes, my love. In fact, we can now name them together. I… I could not bring myself to name them without you yet,” Sesshoumaru admitted.
“Uh, you still haven’t told me… Males? Females? What do we have?” Inuyasha asked softly.
Sesshoumaru’s eyes popped open wide. “What?! I…truly? The Dragons didn’t tell you? I’m so sorry,” Sesshoumaru leaned down to kiss Inuyasha once more, and then he pressed his forehead against Inuyasha’s, pressing their marks together.
“We have two males and one female. All three are beautiful snowy white pups, yet each are different in their own special way. You know already that they will stay in Inu-form for the next six months or so, and then they will take their humanoid forms. They are already wreaking havoc,” Sesshoumaru smiled.
“Good,” Inuyasha nodded happily. “I’d expect nothing less from our pups.”
“I cannot wait for you to see them,” Sesshoumaru said proudly, right before he began to make love to his Little Mate all over again, starting by sinking his fangs deep into his Mating Mark.
“Oh, Sesshou! YES!”

***

Long before dawn the next day, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were impatient to leave.
After being fed very well by Kitai, and receiving written instructions for Masahiro, they were nearly ready to go.
Kitai stopped them. “Lord Inuyasha, please remember that something has happened in you that we still cannot explain. You have received the best training I could provide, but please be certain to continue it. I still do not know how this recent experience will affect your spiritual power.”
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha looked at each other before Sesshoumaru replied, “Believe me, he will. I swear it.”
Kōmyō appeared and asked, “Are you both ready to leave? I will return you to the Palace.”

***

Rin had been alternating with Shippo, keeping watch for Sesshoumaru’s return; while Kohaku watched out for any adults. They had ‘moved’ into Sesshoumaru’s formal office at the front of the Palace, unwilling to be so far back in the complex when Sesshoumaru returned.
Kohaku had stayed ‘on patrol’, as they called it…moving stealthily in a continuing circle around the building that housed Sesshoumaru’s office-of-state. He’d yet to be detected by any of the Palace Guard, and none of the adults had, as yet, been able to find them.
Shippo had taken the first watch during the night, with Rin coming to allow him to sleep near midnight. She had seen Sesshoumaru leave, so she kept her eyes focused on that same spot in the sky.
Suddenly, just as the sun was rising, she saw a flash of golden light in that same place, and cried out for Shippo and Kohaku. They all came together and raced to the front gates.
Kōmyō landed softly, and as he transformed into his humanoid form in a flash of light, Rin saw Sesshoumaru walking through the light towards them with something shining in his arms. Stopping to set it down, Sesshoumaru then straightened up.
“To…Tōchan?!?” she screamed.
“Tōsan?!?” Shippo cried.
Kohaku could only smile and cry happy tears. He loved Inuyasha too, and was so happy for Rin and Shippo.
Inuyasha stopped to allow them to come to him, and he caught them both with Sesshoumaru helping to brace him. He held them tightly as they all cried with happiness. After a short time, the questions began.
“Children, let us get into the Palace first. I promise we will explain everything soon,” Sesshoumaru smiled.
Rin stopped Kōmyō as he was turning to leave. “Thank you, Kōmyō-sama. I will never forget you,” she bowed.
Kōmyō touched her cheek softly. “I am happier for you than you can imagine,” he replied before he lifted off into the sky.
A very happy Royal Family walked into the Palace together.

***

Once in the family-tower, Inuyasha was stunned to see how quickly word had spread. Nearly everyone he knew here was waiting, all with tears of happiness shining in their eyes. Applause broke out, and Inuyasha could only smile and blush.
“Sesshou? Can we get outta here?” Inuyasha asked quietly with a smile.
“Certainly,” Sesshoumaru smiled back, not caring who saw him.
He raised his hand for silence.
“Thank you all for sharing our happiness with us. For now, my Mate needs to rest. If you will gather in the formal-dining room for the noon meal tomorrow, I will explain what I can,” Sesshoumaru said regally.
He began to lead Inuyasha to the stairs, and turned to wave for Kaito, Masahiro, and Shizuka to follow them.
“Hey Sesshou, can we see our Pups now?” Inuyasha asked. “Then, I was kinda hoping I could sleep in your room.”
“Of course, Shinkon,” Sesshoumaru said happily.

***

Sesshoumaru led Inuyasha to a small set of doors off of his own suite of rooms. Rin and Shippo were still holding Inuyasha’s hands, and they followed quietly, with Kohaku trailing behind.
“What room is this Sesshoumaru?” Inuyasha asked. “I don’t remember seeing it before…”
Sesshoumaru turned to Inuyasha and his eyes softened. “I…it was a room Chichue made for me when I was very young. I will explain more later. For now, I thought it would be perfect for our pups, since I wanted to be near them after losing you,” he explained quietly.
Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Sesshoumaru, and buried his face in his chest. “I’m so sorry Sesshou. I’ve made you…all of you…miserable and upset, all because I couldn’t fight that bastard off to begin with, and…”
Sesshoumaru interrupted by pulling up Inuyasha’s chin and placing a finger to his lips.
“Yasha, never say any words like that in my presence again. You have brought me joy, peace, happiness… You taught me to open my heart… Yes, I felt I would die inside when I lost you…but I also realized that I was better for having loved you…that our children would have a loving father because of you,” Sesshoumaru said firmly as he opened the doors to the extra room.
Inuyasha saw an eagle-youkai female standing in the room. She spun around in surprise when the door opened behind her.
“Oh! My Lord, you’re back! And…Inuyasha-sama?!? Oh! I…I’ve been caring for them since Sesshoumaru-sama first brought them home. They are so perfect! Here! Come and see!” she gushed. “I will leave, so you can see them. They are asleep for now,” Tsubasa smiled joyfully.
Before any could move, Inuyasha leaned down and picked up both Rin and Shippo; holding them so they could look in his eyes.
“I love you both so much. I could never have stayed away forever…you guys knew that, right?” he asked.
Shippo replied in a shaky voice, “Yeah, we did, but you sure took your own time comin’ back. You’ll have to tell us why later, but we’re just happy you’re back.”
Rin, crying softly with happiness, just nodded her agreement.
“Okay, you two go with Tsubasa. I’m gonna have to rest for a while, but then I’ll be back to normal. We can all be together later today, ‘kay?” Inuyasha reassured them.
“Hai!” both children shouted before jumping from his arms and running out of the room with Kohaku.
“Thank you Tsubasa. Come back in one hour. And will you please tell Kaito, Masahiro, and Shizuka I will be in my sitting room to speak with them after that?” Sesshoumaru asked politely.
Tsubasa bowed. “Hai, My Lord. I will tell them.”
Sesshoumaru dismissed her and she left.
He turned to find Inuyasha standing completely still…staring at the three padded beds where their pups lay.
“Sesshou…” he breathed. “They’re really mine? How…? I…I can’t believe they all survived.”
Their female pup began to whimper, and Inuyasha reached out hesitantly to the little female. She sniffed his fingers for a moment, and her head cocked to the side, as canines will do. Then she yipped, and bit down on Inuyasha’s finger softly. Inuyasha picked her up and held her to his chest for a time, swaying and humming.
Sesshoumaru was mesmerized. His beautiful Little Mate, rocking one of their own pups back to sleep? Perfect.
Finally, the little female was asleep again, and Inuyasha placed her back down very gently. He then touched each of the little males softly. Three perfect bundles of silky white fur. Inuyasha marveled at the beauty of their markings.
Inuyasha turned to Sesshoumaru. “Thank you Sesshou…for everything,” he said as he grabbed Sesshoumaru and pulled him to him. He buried his face in Sesshoumaru’s chest and cried softly from happiness.
He was not alone…Sesshoumaru had the same tears. “When I called you ‘Shinkon’ I meant it…you truly are my heart and soul, Yasha,” he whispered.
They held each other tightly until they heard Tsubasa coming back.

***

Entering Sesshoumaru’s room, Inuyasha immediately began to strip as he walked to the bath.
“Yasha? What are you doing? Shouldn’t you rest now?” Sesshoumaru asked.
“Yeah, probably, but I’m already feeling stronger, and I love these baths. I want one to help me fall asleep easier,” he winked at Sesshoumaru, causing his Mate to realize that he would very much like a bath too.
He would hurry with Kaito, Masahiro, and Shizuka.
He walked back out to the sitting-room. “Thank you for coming,” he reached out and handed Masahiro the written instructions from Kitai. “Here, I believe this should help. Inuyasha will regain his strength very quickly now that he is back in this mortal realm, but I still wish you to follow these instructions.”
“Yes My Lord, Lord Inuyasha should certainly eat the best to regain all his health,” the healer replied. “I…I am so happy that Lord Inuyasha is back. I cannot express my feelings adequately, but know that I will treasure each moment he is here. We all feel this way.”
“Thank you, old friends,” Sesshoumaru smiled as they all nodded agreement.
Turning to Shizuka, Sesshoumaru said, “Inuyasha has already begun his spiritual training thankfully, but it was explained to me that this experience may change his spiritual powers…make them even stronger. Inuyasha was able to speak with the Heavenly Dragons mentally. He knew their language…they called it their ‘silent language.’ Do you know what they mean Shizuka?”
The Dragon-Youkai sorceress was shocked. “Truly My Lord? That isn’t supposed to be possible. I…I am having trouble comprehending this possibility, but I understand the urgency of the matter. I will use today to find the most powerful spiritual teacher and bring them back to the Palace immediately.”
“Please do. Use of force is acceptable. I promised Kitai that he would have someone to train him immediately. Human or Youkai, it matters not,” Sesshoumaru clarified.
“Yes, My Lord, I agree,” she said.
“Kaito, I will meet with the staff at the noon meal tomorrow. Please inform the council that I will speak to them after that. Inuyasha and I will have our Mating Ceremony immediately, as quickly as we can notify the people of the Land of his health and invite them. The council will have nothing to say to me on this matter. They can accept my decision or die.”
Kaito smiled hugely, the first time Sesshoumaru had ever seen him do so. “Hai, My Lord. I agree with you completely. You will have our backing and that of Takeru Taisho and the Western Army. The council should give us no trouble whatsoever.”
“Thank you all, for all you have done. I will call for a meal to be sent up later. Masahiro, please speak with Kenzo so he will be ready right away.
“Kaito, if you would, please watch for Miroku and Sango arriving from the Slayer’s Village with the children tomorrow. Inuyasha’s friends do not yet know that he is alive, and I do not want them finding out other than from Inuyasha and myself. When they arrive, please bring them to this room immediately,” he finished.
“It will be done, My Lord,” Kaito assured him.
They bowed and left, allowing Sesshoumaru to turn quickly and break into a run, stripping his clothes off along the way to the bath.

***

Sesshoumaru opened the door and was greeted with a far better picture of paradise than the Paradise they had just left.
Inuyasha was floating in the huge tub, humming softly to himself. Sesshoumaru watched as his beautiful hair flowed with the water and surrounded him, moving with the currents. Sesshoumaru moved swiftly to join him.
Inuyasha felt Sesshoumaru climbing into the bath, but kept his eyes closed and waited patiently. He was instantly rewarded.
Sesshoumaru moved to his side, put one hand under his lower back to hold him still, and then leaned down and proceeded to kiss him senseless. He allowed Inuyasha to continue to float as his fingers caressed every inch of his skin, as his tongue caressed every inch of his sweet mouth.
It felt so amazing to Inuyasha…being touched front and back at the same time, it was almost overwhelming.
“Spread your legs, my love,” Sesshoumaru ordered, making Inuyasha moan softly with desire.
He moved between his legs and continued to caress and kiss his skin, then he leaned down to lick his cock lightly; finally slipping his fingers, claws retracted, down the crack of his ass. Stroking the sensitive skin around his entrance caused Inuyasha to arch his back, and Sesshoumaru reached back with his other arm to support him again so he would not drop below the surface.
Sesshoumaru then moved them near the side of the bath where a large flat rock was just a few inches below the surface. “Do not move, Yasha,” he growled softly.
Inuyasha could only moan as Sesshoumaru laid him on this rock, lifted his legs, and began to stretch him with his tongue. He was quickly penetrated by his Mate’s fingers as well, and soon he was crying out, begging Sesshoumaru to take him.
“Ahh! Sesshou! Please…I need to feel you inside me!”
“Anything for you, my Yasha,” he moaned as he rose above him.
Rubbing the head of his cock against Inuyasha’s stretched opening, he teased him, wanting to hear Inuyasha’s beautiful voice as he cried out from his arousal. He got his wish over and over again, but still kept teasing.
Finally, “Fuck! Sesshou, I want you inside me now! Stop teasing!” Inuyasha cried almost desperately.
“Mmmm…” Sesshoumaru moaned as he allowed himself to sink slowly into Inuyasha to the hilt.
Inuyasha’s back arched as he moaned loudly, and Sesshoumaru was struck once again by how magnificently beautiful Inuyasha was. His hair was floating freely in the water, his back was arching into the pleasure, his legs were wrapped around Sesshoumaru’s waist, and his hands were over his head, trying to find something to hold on to. It drove Sesshoumaru to the very edge.
“Gods, Yasha…you are so beautiful,” he whispered.
Then it all seemed to hit him at once.
“I… Oh gods! I can’t believe I… You’re here! In our Palace, with our children. Back with me…” Sesshoumaru said harshly as he pulled Inuyasha up into his arms and simply held him tightly. Buried within him, with Inuyasha’s legs and arms wrapped around him, feeling his Little Mate licking his chin…Sesshoumaru’s body began to shake and he sat down, still buried deep.
“Itoshii??” Inuyasha asked, confused. He gently caressed Sesshoumaru’s face and pulled his chin until Sesshoumaru lifted his gaze to meet his. When their eyes met, Inuyasha was stunned.
Sesshoumaru’s eyes were filled with tears, but also filled with such love…Inuyasha gasped and moved to kiss him instantly. Framing his face with his hands, Inuyasha dominated the kiss at first, then allowed Sesshoumaru to take back full control. Once again, they kept their eyes open, and savored the love that was so apparent.
Then Sesshoumaru began to move again, and Inuyasha’s head fell back in bliss.
“Oh, Sesshou…I love you so…” Inuyasha moaned softly as he was made love to slowly and completely.
