Chapter 4. Cleaning wounds and centennial growth.

Morning came far to quickly considering Inuyasha spent half the night cleaning pine pitch out of his hair. When the small stone thunked into his head, it took all his limited self control to keep from rampaging through the forest to destroy the infuriating demon lord.

Once he was far enough from the camp that he wouldn't wake the others, he unloaded the mouth full of creativity offensive curses, that he had been piling there since the rock connected with his head. Then he demandingly instructed his asshole sibling to find another way to wake him.

This of course didn't faze the demon lord at all, he simply continued walking and ignored the irate hanyou.

Inuyasha's temper had cooled off some by the time they reached the new training area.

“Todays lesson is on hand to hand combat.”

Sesshomaru took his swords and set them to the side, waiting for Inuyasha to do the same before continuing.

“I want to see how well you handle yourself with different fighting styles.”

“Fine by me, but the only unarmed style I know, doesn't come with any prissy rules or stances.” Inuyasha mocked.

“Well then half breed, show me your style.”

Inuyasha rushed forward leaping and slashing. Only to feel empty air slip through his claws. Sensing that Sesshomaru was to his right now, he slashed out in that direction, snarling as he missed again. He darted after the illusive demon, kicking, punching, clawing and even resorting to teeth once or twice. Yet he couldn't land a single hit.

“Hn, … How pathetic.”

Sesshomaru was suddenly right in his face with a fist embedded in his stomach. Inuyasha curled forward in pain far enough for Sesshomaru to breath into his ear.

“Worthless half breed.”

The furry appendages slicked back into his hair and Inuyasha was flung backwards, barely managing to right himself in time to land, crouched and prepared for another attack. An attack that came quickly, Sesshomaru was already on top of him again when Inuyasha landed. The hanyou dodged a fist to the face and an impressive kick that would have caught him in the side of the head.

He back petaled to avoid a flurry of claws until he backed himself right up against a tree. He jumped up and pushed off the trunk of the tree, to land gracefully behind Sesshomaru. The demon lord ducked low to avoid the claws headed for his back and as he crouched, he spun his body sweeping his leg out and knocked Inuyasha's feet out from under him.

The hanyou quickly planted his hands on the ground and back flipped clear as Sesshomaru's legs fanned out in some kind of cartwheel like rotation that would have caught him in his face.

Inuyasha gaped as he dodged the new attacks, Sesshomaru never fought like this before. It seemed way to hands on to be the pompous demon's style. He noted exactly how hands on it was, when Sesshomaru flipped over him and long deadly fingers wrapped around his neck.

The momentum created a leaver that threw Inuyasha backwards over Sesshomaru's head as the demon lord landed. Inuyasha's body sailed for a few feet before crashing full force into a tree. The daze hadn't even worn off before Sesshomaru was on him again, one hand slammed into the tree just above his head the other dug it's claws into his neck.

Inuyasha grabbed the demon lord's wrist in an attempt to remove those claws from his throat but they simply wouldn't budge.

“Once again hanyou, you have only managed to get yourself killed.”

Sesshomaru continued to gloat, explaining something about his fighting style, however Inuyasha's attention was fixed solely on the wrist that was in his hand. More specifically the long wispy magenta stripes curling around that wrist.

As Sesshomaru blabbered on about his fighting style, Inuyasha was over come by the urge to touch those captivating stripes.

Two of his fingers gently slid across the pronounced markings. Sesshomaru gasped and ranked his hand back like it had been burned. As his claws came free of Inuyasha's neck a bizarre tingling started under the hanyou's skin.

It began to burn and sting and throb, the pain got worse with every second. His eye brows knit together in confused agony because it started to feel like his veins were on fire. A sweat broke over his skin and his chest got tight making it hard to breath. He clenched his jaw, gritting his teeth against the pain.

Sesshomaru's initial shock wore off quickly and he watched with a knowing arrogance as his most deadly poison slowly seeped into the foolish hanyou's blood stream.

“Well now you truly have gotten yourself kill, hanyou............ “ Sesshomaru watched the hanyou's eyes fill with agony.

“Dose it hurt terribly?.........” He moved closer, brushing a few strands of hair from the pup's face so they would not obstruct his view. “........ Is the pain unbearable?”

A rosy flush stained Inuyasha's cheeks and his breath came in quick shallow pants.

“W-What the fuck did you do to me?” Inuyasha gasped.

“That is my bodies natural response to unfamiliar situations. Let this serve as a reminder that you should keep your filthy paws to yourself.” A sadistic grin curled the demon lord's lips when Inuyasha flinched as the pain increased.

“I would guess that you have mere moments before the poison seeps to deeply into your blood stream for the effects to be reversed......... Perhaps if you beg very nicely, I may consider removing it for you.”

“Fuck you, asshole.” Inuyasha rasped before he collapsed to the ground curling his body from the pain, cradling the wound in his hands.

“Fine, fuck! …... Just please, make it fucking stop.” He whimpered.

Sesshomaru stooped and grabbed Inuyasha by the throat, lifted him up and pinned him against the tree again. He tilted the younger inu's head so he would have better access to the wound.

Inuyasha watched in captivated horror as the demon lord lowered his mouth, full of very sharp teeth, down to his throat. His chest heaved with near panicked breathing. Each frantic beat of his heart pumped the excruciating burn further into his veins.

Suddenly there were cool plush lips on his neck and a smooth wet tongue laving the wound.

Relief flooded the hanyou's senses, with every gentle stroke of that wonderful tongue, the pain ebbed.

When his brain finally cleared and he really started to think about what was happening, he began to panic all over again.

'Holly fucking shit, Sesshomaru's mouth and tongue are touching my neck …...... And it feels, amazing …. Uhhhh.' He mentally groaned, clenching his hands into fists at his sides. 'ok don't freak out, don't freak out.'

It was to late, he started squirming wildly to get free, desperately hoping Sesshomaru wouldn't notice how aroused he was becoming.

The demon lord's grip tightened and he growled a warning against the tender flesh just beneath his teeth and then the lapping continued.

After each swipe, that long hypnotizing tongue would snake back out of it's talented mouth and slowly continue over the column of soft, pale skin.

Again and again it traveled the same mind blowing path. Inuyasha's legs began to tremble and he couldn't help it any longer, he whimpered quietly each time the glistening muscle slid over him. He was panting again for completely different reasons, his head lolled back and his eyes fluttered shut. He was seconds away from loosing his mind and doing something he would certainly come to regret, when Sesshomaru simply released him, letting his body drop like a rag doll to the ground.

Inuyasha stared up at the demon lord with wide lust dazed and confused eyes. Sesshomaru returned his gaze with cold, indifference.

“I do hope you enjoyed that hanyou, because it will Never. Happen. Again.” Sesshomaru abruptly turned and strode away, disappearing into the forest.

Once the demon lord was gone from sight Inuyasha flopped over onto his back on the ground, his head was spinning. He groaned as he lifted it far enough to look down the length of his body, to the erection tenting his hakama.

“Are you trying to get us killed?”

His head flopped back to rest on the ground and he growled in frustration.

'I just wanted to know what they felt like, how was I supposed to know the stripes were that damn sensitive.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sesshomaru walked in no particular direction, while his mind raced. It was unbelievable, how dare the filthy cur touch him, and in such a manner. It would have served the foolish half breed right if Sesshomaru had left him to perish.

The demon lord was repulsed that his yokai had caused him to lower himself to the act of licking the hanyou's wounds. Now the taste of that ridiculous mongrel lingered on his tongue, tempting him to go back and sample more.

The sun kissed sweetness of his skin, mingled with that ridiculous scent of his was maddening. It was becoming painfully obvious that he needed to reach the palace as soon as possible.

He could simply leave the party to be lead by Jaken the rest of the way, surely the unpleasant kappa could find his way from here. Sesshomaru's pride would hear nothing of the sort.

'I will not be made to retreat from a hanyou.' He mentally growled.

With that thought driving him, Sesshomaru swiftly turned and headed back towards camp.

'I have more control in my little finger than most demon do in their entire body. I will not allow my insufferable yokai to dictate my decisions. I will simply have to take a less bodily physical approach to Inuyasha's training until we arrive at the palace.'

When Sesshomaru entered the camp area Inuyasha was already there with his companions. They were all sitting together eating some fish the ninjen had prepared, even Jaken was taking part in the meal.

“You hushi, are you and the taijiya competent enough to continue another night with out stopping?” Sesshomaru demanded after approaching the small group.

“We can manage.” Miroku answered, looking to Sango who was nodding in agreement.

“Good, prepare to leave after your meal.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The group walked on and on, through another day and another night. Inuyasha was oddly quiet for the most part. This made his friends a bit concerned.

“So Inuyasha, how is your training going?” Miroku politely inquired.

Inuyasha didn't realize it but he blushed slightly. The first thing that came to his mind was the intensely awkward licking session they had earlier.

“It's been going good.” He quietly answered.

Miroku noticed the blush but ignored it.

“Have you learned anything new?” Sango asked.

'Yeah, I learned that Sesshomaru's tongue is incredibly long and smooth and wet and amazing ... and oddly enough it has dark purple blotches in some spots.' This is what Inuyasha thought before he said out loud,

“Just some new stances and stuff.”

“Is that what you were doing the other day?” Shippo asked while he hopped up onto Inuyasha's shoulder.

“Yeah.”

“Oh so that's why you were letting Lord Sesshomaru smack you around.” Shippo teased.

'No, I let him smack me around cuz I like the way it feels.' He thought, out loud he said,

“I did not let him smack me around! Shut up you little twerp!”

Shippo ran off laughing and Inuyasha chased after him cursing up a storm.

“Well at least he's acting normal again.” Miroku commented.

“Yeah, he must have just been thinking about kagome or Kikyo and got a little depressed.” Sango guessed.

“Well he always has been the suffer in silence type.” Miroku agreed.

“Silence you childish morons, your ridiculous nonsense is disturbing my lord!” Jaken squawked in outrage.

Inuyasha's and Shippo's little battle suddenly raged into Jaken's personal bubble and after the little out burst he was quickly sucked into the fight. The squabbling soon turned into a giant ball of dust, limbs, flailing, curses and Jaken's cries for help.

“Yep, right back to normal.” Miroku sighed, Sango nodded and Kirara mewed in agreement.

Sesshomaru ignored the whole repugnant situation and continued walking.

During one of the stops the group made for water, Sesshomaru walked over to where Inuyasha was sitting away from the group. He stood looking out over the calm lake they had gotten water from.

“I want you to start working on something that will be part of your training tomorrow.” The demon lord informed.

“Yeah, what's that?” Inuyasha asked.

“A technique to charge your yokai energy. I have seen for my self that as a hanyou you posses a significant amount of yokai, you simply must learn to harness it.” Sesshomaru explained.

“Ok so how do I start?”

“Focus inward, search the depths of your sub-conscious for your yokai. Find your beast within and draw upon it's energy.”

“Ok and what do I do with it?”

“For now just find it, if you even accomplish that much I will be impressed. I do not expect you to know your yokai from a rock on the ground, half breed.”

“Oh shut the fuck up you arrogant bastard, I can find my own yokai.” Inuyasha snapped.

“More likely it can find you.”

“Just fuck off and let me concentrate asshole.”

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes to the insult but left the hanyou to practice.

When nightfall came and Sesshomaru declared that they could stop to make camp, the whole group, excluding the two inu, practically collapsed where they were standing.

“Finally!” Shippo whined.

“Oh thank you mi lord.” Even Jaken had slumped to the ground in relief.

Everyone fell asleep quickly, even the demon lord let his drowsiness win over and sunk into a lite, peaceful slumber. Well it was peaceful, until images of Inuyasha started to flooded his sub-conscious.

The pup's cheeks were flushed and he was panting, those wide innocent golden eyes stared up at him pleadingly. 'Fuck me, master, please fuck me.' The hanyou arranged himself on hands and knees. Then lowered his chest to the floor, taking his own swollen member in his hand, he started stroking it desperately. He whimper softly 'Please master.'

Then the imagery shifted. Inuyasha stood nude in the demon lord's own bed room. His wrists were bound and suspended from the ceiling by a chain, far enough in front of him, that his body leaned forward. Another chain came from the ceiling and attached to a leather collar around the hanyou's neck. His ankles were tethered to shackles sticking out from the floor.

A wonderfully, silencing gag was fixed in the pup's mouth and tucked under his mane of silky white hair. So when he cried out from the whip connecting with his back, the pleading sounds were muffled.

The lash left several more beautiful red whelps, some on the hanyou's ass, some on his thighs, a few more on his back. Then Sesshomaru was tracing each pronounced line with his tongue. Feeling the raised, irritated skin. Tasting the sweet flavor of Inuyasha and smelling that damnable scent. His tongue followed the muscular curves of that lithe little body.

Then he was assaulted with a new image. Inuyasha was on his back in the grass, his legs were spread and resting on the demon lord's shoulders.

In the next image that flashed into his mind he was thrusting into the hanyou, from the same position.

The next image Inuyasha was up off the ground with his legs still over the demon lord's shoulders and his hands were wrapped around the back of Sesshomaru's neck. The pup's body rose and fell with each thrust.

In the next image Inuyasha's head was thrown back and he was moaning loudly, while Sesshomaru's arms supported him around the waist.

The images continued to flash through his mind one after another, until those wide enchanting eyes, that were innocent and seductive all at the same time, were practically burned into his memory.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Morning came far to quickly for everyone. Inuyasha was the first out of everyone to wake, and every hair on his body was standing at attention. Every alarm bell he had was going off, screaming that he was in danger.

Sango and Miroku were up next, fallowed by Kirara, who transformed and started growling. Shippo jumped up clinging to Sango's leg. The fur on his tail was completely frizzed out. Jaken some how slept strait on through.

“This is an enormously powerful demon aura.” Miroku announced.

They all scanned the forest.

“Hay Sesshomaru, what do you think......” Inuyasha stopped mid sentence, Sesshomaru was gone. Inuyasha growled.

“That bastard better be fighting something, or I'm gonna give him a good piece of my fucking mind.”

In the distance he could see a demonic wind disturbing the forest.

“You guys stay here, I got a feeling Sesshomaru is just being an asshole. I'll be back.” Inuyasha leaped off in the direction of the disturbance.

It didn't take long to find Sesshomaru's scent, it was heading strait for the over barring demonic aura.

As he got closer he could feel the yokai energy prickling over his skin leaving goose bumps in its wake and sending shivers up and down his spine.

Now even closer he could see the electric pulses whipping around like a hurricane. Rocks and trees were getting ripped up and thrown from the ground as the massive storm crashed around. Inuyasha stopped when he came to the source of the storm.

There Sesshomaru sat in the middle of a typhoon of yokai energy, looking like the mascot of meditation. Peacefully sitting with his eyes closed and legs folded.

'What the hell?' Inuyasha thought and as he watched the storm actually grew more violent.

The electrically charged energy streams thrashed wildly leaving deep gouges in the earth, tearing down anything in their path. When Sesshomaru's eyes opened they were completely red and he was staring directly at Inuyasha.

The energy from the storm exploded outward, knocking the hanyou flat on his ass and blew right over top of him. After that the turbulence ebbed down to nothing and Sesshomaru stood up.

“I trust you are well awake now?”

Inuyasha jumped to his feet yelling.

“We're all well a-fucking-wake now, you asshole! I'm pretty damn sure there isn't a single fucking thing left sleeping, for a least five fucking miles in any damn direction, because of you!”

…

“Good.” Sesshomaru smugly remarked, then turned and started back towards camp.

“Wait, your not telling me you did all that just to wake me up, are you?”

Sesshomaru stopped and turned to face him.

“No, that was to illustrate the purpose of training all the time when you already know how to do something.”

Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

“Tsh, show off.”

“Do I detect a hint of jealousy?” Sesshomaru baited.

“No! ... I could do that way better than you, if I wanted to. So there's nothin to be jealous about.” Inuyasha boasted.

“Oh really.”

“Yes really.”

“Then perhaps you would care to demonstrate?” Sesshomaru gestured for the hanyou to proceed.

“No, actually I wouldn't. I don't feel like it, right now.” Inuyasha started walking again.

“Of course, you don't.”

The two inu got back to camp and Inuyasha assured everyone that Sesshomaru was just being an asshole. Sesshomaru ignored him and walked over to where Jaken was still peacefully sleeping and used his foot to jab the useless kappa a few times in the head.

“Jaken, get up or I am leaving you behind.”

Jaken floundered, ungracefully into consciousness, groveling his apologies, before scrambling to his feet.

“So, no training today?” Inuyasha asked.

“You can practice as we proceed further. It is of most importance that we reach the palace as soon as possible.” Sesshomaru impatiently explained.

“What's the rush?” Inuyasha asked.

“It is none of your concern.”

“Fuck you to, asshole.” Inuyasha huffed in offense.

They all started walking again, this time with an early start and empty stomaches. Inuyasha spent his time practicing to charge his yokai. He was feeling pretty damn good, he actually got a few zaps stored up.

But then his stomach started growling loud enough to break his concentration. Everyone else's stomachs were growling as well. Shippo was whining about starving and the two ninjen were looking a little worse for wares.

Sesshomaru sighed in aggravation, realizing that they would need to stop much sooner than night fall. This meant there would be no place for the group to catch fish and if he had any hope of making some real progress tomorrow, they would need a full stomach to travel. He was going to have to hunt for another deer.

Once camp was announced the demon lord slipped off into the woods.

“Inuyasha, you have to do something, I'm starving!” Shippo begged.

“Take it easy runt, I think that's what asshole just went off to do.” Inuyasha informed.

“How dare you insult my great lord, you miserable hanyou. After he has humbled himself enough to preform such a task for someone so pathetic and undeserving as you.”

A few thuds later, Jaken sat quietly rubbing at the lumps on his head.

Sango and Miroku were slowly trying to gather some fire wood.

“Sit down you bakas, you're half dead on your feet. I'll make the damn fire.” Inuyasha directed.

Soon a fire was roaring and Sesshomaru had returned with a good sized buck and several more of the poisonous snakes he seemed to be found of. Everyone ate until they were stuffed and quietly sat watching the fire die down.

Inuyasha belched loud enough for it to echo all around the forest.

“Your manners are disgusting hanyou.” Sesshomaru grumbled.

“Ask me if I care.” Inuyasha replied with satisfaction.

Sesshomaru had expected an answer like that, so he went back to ignoring everyone.

There were a few small talk conversations between the friends before they all started turning in for the night, the need for rest quickly claiming the weary pack. Inuyasha was on his way to a comfortable tree when he noticed Sesshomaru sitting off by himself glaring up at the moon, absently growling low in his throat. Inuyasha watched with his head cocked to the side, glancing between the moon and it's would be aggressor.

Eventually curiosity won and he wandered over to the demon lord.

“Ok, tell me what the moon did to you and I'll help you kick its ass.” Inuyasha stated, plopping down next to the demon lord under a large tree.

Sesshomaru looked at him with the usual indifferent stare but it almost seemed like he hadn't realize Inuyasha was there, until the pup had spoke.

That was very un-Sesshomaru-like.

The demon lord sighed, gently massaging his forehead with his thumb and index finger.

“The moon indicates that my centennial growth is upon me and my yokai is playing havoc with my senses.”

“Your centennial what?” Inuyasha's brow scrunched in confusion.

“Centennial growth, are you completely ignorant of your race? …...... Once every hundred years inu demon experience a growth spurt.” Sesshomaru informed.

“Growth spurt, aren't you tall enough already?” Inuyasha puzzled.

“This Sesshomaru does not increase, it is my true form which experiences the growth and my yokai becomes … quite unruly.”

“Oh …..... Does that mean some day you'll be as big as the old man was?” Inuyasha asked.

“He is not the old man, he is our father, and yes.” Sesshomaru retorted.

“Damn you only grow once a century, that means the old man was really frickin old.” Inuyasha mused.

“Indeed.” Sesshomaru decided it was pointless to try and correct the hanyou.

“How old are you, Sesshomaru?”

“This will be my nineteenth growth.” Sesshomaru informed.

“Damn, you're old.”

Sesshomaru quirked an eye brow at him.

“Quite the opposite in fact, you are simply still a pup. I am barely into my adulthood. It will be several millennium before I am old.” Sesshomaru divulged, rather matter of factually.

“Tsh what ever, you're an old fart.”

“Silence ignorant half breed.” Sesshomaru growled.

“Aw, what's wrong? The old geezer cant take a little joke.” Inuyasha mocked.

“Inuyasha, you will silence your ignorant tongue, before I do it for you.” Sesshomaru warned.

“Ha, you'd have to catch me first. Can a geriatric like you even keep up?”

Inuyasha was laughing at his own joke when suddenly Sesshomaru was on top of him, pinning him to the ground. One hand held the hanyou's wrists above his head the other pinched his tongue between it's lethal claws. Sesshomaru leaned in close so they were face to face and growled.

“Caught you.”

Inuyasha watched in mild panic as the demon lord's eyes clouded with red. Sesshomaru leaned back, looking rather malicious.

“Hummm, now how shall I keep this filthy little mouth of yours from disrespecting me.”

Inuyasha swallowed hard. He could feel those claws piercing through his tongue and the weight of the demon lord's body pressing down over his hips. Judging from the look on Sesshomaru's face, he was either planning on ripping off Inuyasha's tongue or eating the hanyou alive.

Not wanting to risk either Inuyasha whined, in an attempt to get the demon lord to let him go.

'On a side note, maybe provoking the bastard wasn't the smartest thing to do.' He thought.

Sesshomaru leered back down at him.

“You desire for me to release you?” He sounded even more malicious.

Inuyasha gingerly nodded his head. He would have liked to have to put up more of a fight with the arrogant bastard, but he was concentrating to hard on fighting the way his body was responding to this awkward situation. If he didn't get Sesshomaru off of him soon, his tongue wouldn't be the only thing in danger of getting ripped off.

“I may consider releasing you, if you whine like the little puppy you are and beg me to do it.”

Inuyasha growled. No way was he gonna beg that bastard for anything.

Sesshomaru pinched his claws together tighter and leaned forward so his voice purred into Inuyasha's ear.

“You had better hurry, before I think of something much more, gratifying to do with this filthy little mouth.......” Sesshomaru froze.

Blinking kinda dumbly at Inuyasha as if just realizing what he said, the demon lord quickly jerked back away from the pup.

“You will disregard that statement hanyou.”

Inuyasha slowly sat up glaring at Sesshomaru.

“Hay no arguments here. What the hell is up with you anyway? You've been acting all weird.”

“Did I not already explain to you, my yokai becomes quite unruly during my centennial?” Sesshomaru angrily replied.

“Ya but I didn't think it got this bad, you're usually so, … I don't know ... composed.”

“Yes, well I regret to inform you that it becomes much worse, and I will not allow my dignity to suffer this kind of humiliation. We will arrive at the palace as soon as possible, so my healer can put an end to this unacceptable behavior.”

“Fine by me.” Inuyasha leaped up into the overhead branches, leaving the demon lord disgruntled and fuming by himself at the base of the tree.

Sango and Miroku exchanged confused glances, silently shrugging. Neither one of them knew what that little scuffle was about, but agreed that it was slightly more than abnormal. They had remained silent during the whole encounter, it was incredibly odd seeing the two inu interact so personally with each other.

Miroku was beginning to suspect that there was a little more than training happening between the hanyou and demon lord. He smartly decided to keep that bit to himself though and relaxed back against Sango, letting sleep wash over him once again.

The next morning when Sesshomaru woke and quietly disappeared into the forest, Inuyasha was prepared and woke in time to silently follow after him. He was sure to take the right precautions so the demon lord wouldn't sense him, trailing a safe distance behind.

Sesshomaru entered a small clearing and appeared to be getting ready to charge his yokai energy again. Inuyasha watched intently, determined to figure out how this was done. Sesshomaru sat there for a moment with his eyes closed. Then his aura pulsed with a powerful charge. Next a static energy formed, crackling and gusting around him and it just escalated from there.

The prickling energy washed over Inuyasha in waves, sending shivers up and down his spine and sending a tingling heat to pool low in his stomach.

'Damn it that's not what you're supposed to be paying attention to.' He put his attention back on the task at hand and decided to give it another try himself.

'Ok, focus, focus, …. on energy …. Focus on yokai ... How the hell would I use it without tessaiga to channel it though?'

He closed his eyes and tried harder. Reaching into the depths of his sub-conscious, searching for the monster with in. He could feel it there, like a giant predator pacing the confines of his mind. Arcing and pressing against the walls restraining it, ready to tear free at any moment. But he still had no clue what to do with it.

'Damn it, that bastard makes it look soooo easy, stupid Sesshomaru.'

He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he never noticed the tall, pale and deadly form looming above him.

“Having some difficulties hanyou?”

Inuyasha startled, glaring up at the elder inu he immediately started cursing.

“What the hell is wrong with you? Say something before you sneak up on somebody like that asshole!”

“I had assumed you were capable of sensing my presence.” Sesshomaru replied.

“Ya well not when I am trying to focus on anything but your presence. “

Sesshomaru ignored the sarcastic remark and started in the direction of camp.

“You will have time to continue your practices later. The palace is only another day away and I intend to waist no time in getting there.”

“Fine.” Inuyasha grumbled, jumping to his feet he followed after the demon lord.

Everyone else was awake and ready to go when they returned to camp. So the group set off for another long day of walking and once again it was nearly night fall when they reached a suitable place to stop. It was complete with a stream to fish in and a soft grassy field to sleep in.

Once a fire was going, dinner was made and soon everyone was settled, talking quietly over a nice meal of roast fish.

“So Sesshomaru says we should be there by tomorrow afternoon if we hurry.” Inuyasha informed.

“Are you nervous about the ceremony?” Miroku inquired.

“What's there to be nervous about? It's just a dumb ceremony, a bite on the shoulder and it's done.” Inuyasha spoke around his mouth full of food.

Shippo edged closer to the fire.

“What ever you have to tell yourself Inuyasha. I know I would be nervous with that set of teeth in my shoulder.”

“That's cuz you're a wuss.” Inuyasha teased.

“Shut up, I am not!” Shippo shouted.

“Come on you two, give it a rest would you.” Sango groaned.

“It would seem that Inuyasha gets along better with Sesshomaru now, than he does with Shippo.” Miroku goaded.

Inuyasha colored slightly from embarrassment.

“Oh shut it hushi, the runts not that bad.”

Inuyasha looked over to where Sesshomaru sat alone in the center of the open field.

'Although we have been getting along a lot better.' He thought.

After the meal everyone bedded down for the night and Inuyasha flopped down in the grass near Sesshomaru looking up at the stars.

“The moon still pissing you off?”

Sesshomaru never took his gaze from the sky, but gave a slight nod for reply.

Inuyasha yawned and stretched out in the grass. This was a lot more comfortable than a tree branch,.... and there was no reason why he couldn't fall asleep right there. …

So he did.

Morning came and Inuyasha made it through the whole night with out a single, disturbing dream. It was gonna be a good day he could tell. His body felt so rested and the grass was incredibly soft, and warm, and smelled just amazing.

It smelled like power and thunder storms, cold mountain wind and clean, musky, warm fur and over laying everything was blossoms. He couldn't tell witch ones be he knew they were his favorite.

'That's funny, it smells exactly like Sesshomaru.'

There was gentle breathing against his neck and an arm shifted over his waist. Inuyasha's eyes flew open and he found Sesshomaru and the demon lord's fur were completely wrapped around him.

“Hay damn it, you've got your own side of the damn field, stay the hell away from mine!”

Sesshomaru's head slowly lifted and he blinked blankly at Inuyasha before the situation dawned on him.

“Oh for the love of all the indignant, ridiculous, ...Get away from me you filthy mongrel!” Sesshomaru shoved the hanyou right out of the warm fluffy bundle.

Everyone woke with a start from all the yelling.

“Hay asshole you're in my spot not the other way around. You stay the hell away from me!” Inuyasha shouted back.

“That is it we are leaving now!”

The demon lord stood grabbed his fur and stormed off ahead of the group.

Sango and Miroku exchanged a curious look before jumping up and hurrying to pack.

“Don't rush guys.” Inuyasha urged. “Let the bastard get ahead of us, it will give him time to calm the fuck down.”

“Why'd you sleep with him in the first place Inuyasha, if you knew it was gonna piss him off?” Shippo demanded.

“I did NOT sleep with him, he's the one that got all cozy with me damn it, I didn't do anything!” Inuyasha irately defended.

Miroku chuckled.

“I don't know my friend, you're blushing awfully hard for someone who didn't do anything.”

Inuyasha grabbed him by the collar of his robe and hauled him over so they were face to face.

“Do you wanna die monk?” Miroku squirmed nervously.

“You misunderstand me my friend, … It was just a joke.” Miroku spread his arms wide, palms up, to show he meant no harm.

Inuyasha released him.

“Come on, we better get moving.”
