Inuyasha and Pearl followed Louna who took them back to Pearl’s room and handed them the scroll.

“Listen to me you two troublemakers. You will behave while you are here and you will follow what the elders say if you want to keep Sesshoumaru safe and well. He is giving up much for you both and I will not have my son moved to a different dungeon just because you two cannot behave.”

Louna said with a growl of warning.

“We just don’t want him in a dungeon.”

Pearl said.

“Ya we want him with us.”

Inuyasha said.

“He will be with you when his sentencing is done and over with. Until then you both will continue your lessons her and you will both behave yourselves or I will have the healer knock you both out for the whole three months.”

Louna warned.

Inuyasha frowned as did Pearl. They did not want that.

“Now go to bed the both of you and behave yourselves.”

Louna said with a kiss to both of their cheeks before leaving to go to her own sleeping chambers.

Inuyasha and Pearl had slept most of the day so they ended up staying up most of the night talking about their plan to get to Sesshoumaru while cuddling each other. Pearl had read Sesshoumaru’s letter and it brought her to tears. She would write him immediately the following day and she promised to help Inuyasha write one as well.

That evening Sesshoumaru fell asleep on the futon wondering if his mates were ok and if they liked his letter.

The next morning Sesshoumaru was awakened by the servants who came to comb his hair and pull it away from his face. Nina brought out some bright blue ribbons and combed the long silver locks pulling them into a topknot while tying the ribbons into it. She wanted to braid it, but the other servants said she would not have time to fool around. In some ways Nina hoped the handsome Lord would be in her dungeon for a long time and she hoped he was not scheduled to die. That would simply break her heart.

Nina tried to small talk with Lord Sesshoumaru, but the Lord simply was quiet and listened once in a while saying something, but for the most part was ignoring her although to Nina his few words meant he was truly listening to her. Nina wasn’t too bright a girl, but she was nice and good with hair and clothing. She picked a new outfit for him to wear in black with a red silk obi. It was plain like all the prisoner’s clothing, but it was the best they had and he looked absolutely gorgeous in black.

When the servants finished Nina left with them, but not before placing another kiss on top of Sesshoumaru’s silvery head. Nina was in love and that was all that mattered to her.

Sesshoumaru was taken to the whipping post first thing to start the day. His shackles were reattached and instead of ripping off his kimono top it was merely removed.

No mercy was shown and as Sesshoumaru predicted without his other two Uncles present the lashes were harder, faster, and much more wicked. The whipping lasted most of the morning and into the afternoon.

Sesshoumaru had small breaks in between while his Uncles got their drinks and food. Sesshoumaru was even given water, but then he was back up on the post being whipped with his back burning and bleeding. Sesshoumaru tried hard not to cry out. He wanted to be a man about this whole mess, but as the whip cut deeper into his flesh he realized they were using their acid whips at this point and the cuts were much deeper with even more of a burn to it. At one point he found himself screaming in pain. He didn’t mean to but his Uncle lost control of his whip and it cut deeper than the others, so deep it went internal.

“Sorry about that Sesshoumaru.”

Uncle Benjirou stated as he stopped the whipping for a while to check how deep his whip cut.

“I think we are done with the whipping for the day.”

Benjirou stated as Sesshoumaru was bleeding profusely from that last cut.

“I would have you heal yourself boy, but we still have today’s beating coming so I am just going to have it wrapped for now.”

Uncle Benjirou stated as the healer immediately went into action and had the wounds cleaned putting a polis on the large cut before wrapping Sesshoumaru’s whole back. The only good thing from this in Sesshoumaru’s point of view was his hair was pulled to the side so it didn’t get any of his blood in it.

Then Sesshoumaru thought of all the times he used his acid whip on his brother. He had never shown mercy and used its full strength cutting into Inuyasha’s hands to the bone and the boy never screamed once. Not a single time did Inuyasha cry out save the one time he rammed his arm through his chest.

Sesshoumaru swore that tomorrow when he was whipped he would not make a sound no matter how painful it became. If he was to be as Inuyasha he would have the strength of his brother to get him through this.

Really come to think of it the whippings and the beatings were nothing compared to the things he did to his little brother. Sesshoumaru at that point realized he was purely evil to Inuyasha. Somehow he would make up for the pain he caused his little brother.

Sesshoumaru always had a home, had always had his Mother to see him through things. Inuyasha for years had no one. It was even wrong now to try to change his speaking habits. Inuyasha learned from experience and even without Inuyasha this war came. It wasn’t Inuyasha’s fault that he did not speak as a Lord and damnit Sesshoumaru loved that Inuyasha was so free with his speech. Sesshoumaru sometimes wished he could be as crude as his little brother.

Now that Sesshoumaru had time to think on things he realized his little brother was indeed stronger than him in some ways. Inuyasha did not have the full blood of a demon, but he had the heart of a full blood. Inuyasha was amazing and Sesshoumaru wanted so much to tell Inuyasha how much he admired him and also tell him how proud he was to call him brother.

As Sesshoumaru contemplated these things the wounds did not seem to bother him as much and he actual found himself smiling a little. Three months of this was nothing. Inuyasha had suffered a lifetime of abuse and starvation. These physical things were nothing compared to what his brother suffered on a daily basis. Prejudice was something Sesshoumaru had never dealt with either, he had been the one who had been prejudiced against Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was beautiful, strong, and the most amazing person Sesshoumaru had ever met so he had to tell Inuyasha these things. It was eating away at him as he thought about it.

Sesshoumaru was given more water and then he was brought back down to the dungeon. There sat his quills and scrolls. Right then and there he wrote a new letter. His Mother would be seeing him today and so he would ask for more scrolls from her since he was allowed small gifts. He wanted enough scrolls to write a letter a day to both his mates, one special letter though was just for Inuyasha and Inuyasha’s eyes only. He wanted to make it clear since it was important to Sesshoumaru that Inuyasha fully understood how he felt about him not just as a mate, but as his brother and as a person.

While Sesshoumaru wrote his letters, Pearl and Inuyasha were up to no good. They had avoided one of their classes today to sneak off to the forest to make plans to infiltrate the dungeons to see Sesshoumaru. They both had to see him and were going absolutely nuts being cooped up in the castle all day long.

Pearl went through a series of etiquette training with Inuyasha. They both had stared at the Matron imagining her head getting smaller and smaller as she talked. They were so focused on the size of her head that they completely missed the point of the lesson which got them both in serious trouble. What they both didn’t understand was why they were thinking the same thing at the same time. It was like they were so in tune with each other it was phenomenal.

“Did you seriously think her head was going to disappear?”

Pearl asked.

“Well with the mountain of silks she was wearing I thought it a possibility. She had a tiny head, but a big fat mouth.”

Inuyasha said.

“Ya, I thought her mouth was going to swallow her head.”

Pearl said.

“Me too.”

Inuyasha said.

“Well what are we gonna do about Sesshoumaru. They try to guard us like crazy. I still can’t believe we were able to trick them long enough to sneak past them. Are people really that dense in these times?”

Pearl asked wondering what else they could do to make people look stupid.

“Ya pretty much. All I said was look…a bird…and they were like where? Then they sat there for almost ever looking for the bird while we snuck behind them and ran here. Tomorrow we will try something new.”

Inuyasha said as he had Pearl hop on his back and took off running like he did with Kagome. Then he jumped up to the tallest tree making sure their scents were hidden so no one would find them for at least most of the day.

Pearl leaned back against Inuyasha as Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her.

“The servants said they were whipping him. He only whipped me once.”

Pearl said sadly.

“He whipped me lots of times. Was real mean about it too. Didn’t hold back or nothin’. Used to cut right through my hands and feet. I got him back though when I took his left arm. Served him right. Don’t feel too sorry for him Pearl. It is only three months worth of crap he has to deal with, I suffered a whole lifetime of shit from him.”

Inuyasha said. He didn’t want Sesshoumaru in the dungeon, but he didn’t feel the least bit sorry for him when it came to his punishment.

“Who whips him? Is there an appointed whip master or is it a guard?”

Pearl asked.

“Nope, it is his Uncles. From what I learned of youkai law it is always family who gives the punishment and it can’t be ‘the victim’ that does it. Like I am a victim. Fuck that. I’ll tell you what I am. I am a survivor and I will live if nothing else but to piss the world off since no one truly accepts a hanyou Pearl. We ain’t demon, we ain’t human. We are somethin’ else entirely.”

Inuyasha said.

“I think we are the perfect mix of both worlds. You and me have the strength of a demon, but the love in our hearts of a human. Even Sesshoumaru feels love, but not like we do.”

Inuyasha continued on. He told Pearl what his Mother had told him and his Father. Father had it right. Inuyasha knew Father would understand and Father was still with them. Not just in spirit, but in their blood and in the tessaiga. Father’s great love surrounded both Inuyasha and Pearl.

“You know, in this body my Mother was also your Mother. That makes us brother and sister. More so then me and Sesshoumaru being brothers. Maybe that is why I feel so close to you and so protective of you.”

Inuyasha said as he thought about things.

“You know then what we do is called incest. Having sex with one’s own family.”

Pearl said.

“Keh…….whatever. People do that all the time these days especially royalty. All I know is I love you. You make me happy.”

Inuyasha said with a smile as he kissed Pearl’s neck.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t make love with you last night Inuyasha. It may be a while before I am fully comfortable again with feeling pleasure.”

Pearl said.

“It is ok. I can wait and I am kind of trying to sort through shit too. I mean I want to eventually have sex with Sesshoumaru, but it scares me a bit. Even if it feels good, will I be imagining that monster or will it be Sesshoumaru I see ya know? I just don’t know and I have to admit it is nice that Sess is being so patient with me.”

Inuyasha said.

“Did you read that letter Sesshoumaru wrote us?”

Pearl asked.

“Ya, I did it while you were doodling during our break in class. It sure was deep for Sesshoumaru. It almost didn’t seem like him, but it was his handwriting.”

Inuyasha said.

“I think he has changed a lot Inuyasha. He truly loves us and it shows. You know as well as I do if he wanted to escape this place and go where they couldn’t find him he could. He could destroy this whole area and just disappear, but he is here for us doing the right thing probably for the first time in his life. You have to admit that is pretty amazing for a demon to do. Especially now that we know a lot more about them.”

Pearl said as she really missed Sesshoumaru at this moment.

“So how do you think we can get to the dungeons?”

Inuyasha asked.

“We follow the servants. One of them has to know where they are keeping him. We will infiltrate their network and once we do we will be home free. Also we pull a lot of favors.’
“Today we are in deep shit, but tomorrow is another day Inuyasha.”

Pearl said.

“What kind of favors?”

Inuyasha asked.

“You befriend them. You find out what they like and then you will know how to get them to do stuff for you.”

Pearl said.

“That is using people Pearl and it is underhanded. I won’t do that.”

Inuyasha said angrily.

“Not if you mean to stay friends with them. It isn’t just one favor, it is many favors and then they will want to do things for you. Like Alicia, my maid. All she wants is a day to spend with her mate. So we find a way to make that happen. Not only do we get a favor in return, but we are doing something nice for someone else. Plus if we can do it several times think of how happy Alicia will be. She will do her job better and smile a lot more.”

Pearl said.

“You’re beginning to sound a lot like my friend Miroku.”

Inuyasha deadpanned back.

“Oh come now, you spared today with her mate. The least you could do is find out when he has time free. Then all I have to do is send Alicia on an errand that will take a couple of hours and bam! We get them together on the same day at the same time spending a whole day together.’
“I can think of several things servants have mentioned that I have overheard that Alicia could pick up for me like Rachel wants pretty blue ribbons for her hair so she can catch the eye of some other servant boy she has interest in. He likes blue and said when she had blue on one day that she looked pretty. You see, if you listen you will find out lots of things. I can almost guarantee by before the end of the month we will have an in to Sesshoumaru’s cell and will be able to find a sneaky way to see him every day.”

Pearl said with a wicked smile.

“You actually listen to servants?”

Inuyasha said since he didn’t listen to crap unless he had to and now that he was a Lord he kind of took the hint from his brother that servants were way below him.

“Yes, I have nothing better to do Inuyasha. Maybe if you got to know people you would find you like them. Servants are people too and they do stuff for us all the time. The least you can do is say thank you and please once in a while. You have no idea what a please and thank you will do for a person.”

Pearl said matter of factly.

“You say it all the time and it pisses off the Matrons Pearl. You are a Lady, Ladies don’t do those things. They order people around.”

Inuyasha said not getting this concept at all.

“In my time it was polite and good manners to say please and thank you. I will always say it no matter what. It is the right thing to do. The Matrons can bite me as well as most of the so called Ladies. Half of them are such snobs I can’t even stand to be around them. I have to suffer them during the time I embroidered shit and I will tell you they are the nastiest people I have ever dealt with. I don’t know how Sesshoumaru’s Mother can deal with such bitches.”

Pearl said.

“Gods I am going to get in so much trouble. You aren’t supposed to swear Pearl. You aren’t supposed to take after me so much.”

Inuyasha said in frustration.

“Well fuck that shit. I will do as I want. I am a Lady and I will behave as I see fit. Not how some other idiot wants to see me. I am me Inuyasha so love me as I am or fuck off.”

Pearl said as she crossed her arms over her chest and pouted.

“Fine, god you know I love you and I love that you swear with me. Still you can’t do that around other people. It ain’t like I get away with it and they will spank your ass here. I want you to be able to sit. I can take pain, but you are a wimp.”

Inuyasha said and Pearl punched his arm.

“I am not a wimp!”

Pearl said angrily.

“And you hit like a girl.”

Inuyasha purred as he teased Pearl mercilessly.

“Do not!”

Pearl said punching him again.

“You are a girl so it is ok to hit like one you idiot. Geeze…..”

Inuyasha said as he laid his head against hers.

“You know we have to go back eventually. Sesshoumaru’s Mom is going to be so pissed at us.”

Pearl said.

“Well let her be. I wanted time alone with you. We get that at home so why not now? They can’t keep us stifled forever.”

Inuyasha said.

“Inuyasha lets just shut up for a while. I want to rest a bit. I am tired of all the shit we had to deal with today. I hate lessons and I hate the Ladies of the court. I don’t want to think anymore, just hold me and be here with me.”

Pearl said.

“Ok.”

Inuyasha said as he kissed the top of Pearl’s head and rested with her listening to the sounds of the forest.

Little did either hanyou know, but Sesshoumaru’s Uncles were watching them and listening trying not to laugh. These two were wonderful and they would not get to Sesshoumaru if they could help it. Still it would be fun to see them try.
