Sesshomaru Chapter 5

"Try again Little Brother."

"Sess…Sess….Sisso!"

I sighed. This was getting me nowhere. "No Inuyasha. Try again. Say Sesshomaru. Ses-sho-maru."

"Sisso! Sisso! SISSO!" Inuyasha clapped and kicked proudly hopping up from the ground to kiss me on the cheek with his plump lips.

My sibling was a hopeless case. No matter how hard I tried, nothing was registering in his thirty year old mind except Sisso. I've been trying to teach him how to pronounce my name properly for a while and I wasn't gaining any ground with the hanyou. "That's enough for now little brother." We might as well get ready for our bond time with Father and the others. Godfather, Yoko and now Koga were coming over for our weekly bond sessions.

For reasons still foreign to me they wanted us to have these entertaining times together. Father told me this wasn't known to him either but it was what Godfather wanted. For some reason he enjoyed seeing all of us spending time together especially me and Yoko. Now he was hell bent on getting Koga and Inuyasha bonded as litter mates.

Another odd thing about the bonding thing was Godfather insisted that we be dressed in our best yet casual clothing. Confusing but it made since considering the heat we all have to circum too.

I was one to never show my flesh but during these weekly meetings these days are the only exceptions. No armor, no heavy under layers of clothing, no tied ponytails like Father and Kazo always had, or shoes for that matter. As I said very strange.

Father met us half way dressed in a short sleeved green male style kimono embroiled with golden moons and a black sash laced around his waist. His long ashen hair wasn't bound in its normal position on top of his head instead flowing down his back pass the small of his back. His clawed feet were bare of his deer skinned boots.

His design was similar to what I was sporting. A deep blue, and pale blue patterned kimono with white hakama and black sash around my waist. My hair is never bound because I hated to brush out the dents imprinted there after being in a high style for so long. My feet were as bare as his.

Inuyasha's attired was simple. A child sized red and yellow puppy designed kimono with the puppies running around after the balls dropping down to his short legs. No sleeves were on his arms either.

"Morning Taisho and my sons!" Kazo greeted waving from inside the summer bloomed gardens. These flowers and fruits were obviously planted by him and Yoko. Such show offs they were.

Right when we came into meeting distance, he snatched Inuyasha from my arms licking his forehead. "Hello Little Kit. Did you miss your Godfather?"

"Papa!" Inuyasha cheered giggling at the wet caresses on his face.

Taisho went straight for the newest member of our little family, Koga for his own meet and greet. "Well how have you been young pup?" He asked nuzzling his nose into the boy's neck.

Koga had been with us for ten years now and he's grown from the skinny shy little cub to the well fed and exciting cub now. Just like Inuyasha he too, considered his Godfather another father. "Poppy!" He greeted happily returning the nuzzling of his nose.

"I feel neglected Yoko." I commented taking a seat by him.

"I do as well. You'd think they'd remember their first borns." I could tell Yoko didn't mean anything by it. Since Koga had entered into his life he hasn't seemed as distant as he was that day we had that conversation years ago. I was glad of it. Seeing him in a sulk wasn't what I was accustomed too.

Kazo and InuTaisho finally finished with the gentle snuggles of the young ones and joined us in the circle to talk about whatever we wanted to discuss.

"So does anyone have anything of importance that needs to be talked on?" This was asked by my Father.

Everyone thought about it for a moment.

"Well I've finally got the peace treaty sighed with the Southern Kingdom where Rosao's clan resides." Kazo commented. "It was tough but we were finally able to come to an agreement on the spacing of our lands. Not to mention the issue of the recent attacks taking place near the borders."

A servant brought out our luncheon for the afternoon but we continued on with the talk.

"Did you ever find out who was behind those attacks?" I asked pouring everyone a cup of tea.

Yoko shook his head. "No we never could find out who was causing the deaths of the Youkos in that area. The strange thing is, each of them were found to be raped to the point of death."

That didn't sound too pleasing.

"Which is why we were able to come to an agreement to join forces, just in case another Youko is attacked we'll both be ready to take a stand."

"Well whatever the trouble is, just know that I'm 100% behind you my friend." Taisho clamped a hand on Kazo's shoulder assuring.

That's when I noticed something that probably slipped pass the others. Kazo's body shuddered under my father's touch then vanished just as quickly. Peculiar reaction which he brushed off with smiling blue eyes. "Thank you Taisho. You're always there for me."

"Of course my friend!" Taisho laughed squeezing the shoulder before dropping away.

Hm maybe I was just imagining the way he shook.

"Papa Ahhh…" Inuyasha pointed into his mouth indicating he was hungry.

Father nodded. "What would you like Inuyasha?"

The hanyou quietly looked around at the spread of food, than pointed to the plate of slightly cooked meat. "Papa. That one Papa!" Inuyasha pointed at the plate then at his mouth.

"Alright settle down little one." I watched Father grab a small piece of the meat and placed it in his mouth to chew.

Many would see this as being disgusting but we were demons and such things weren't so gross. It was necessary for Inuyasha's food to be chewed and mashed because of his soft fangs being in capable of tearing flesh.

After he finished making sure the meat was soft enough, Taisho lifted his son in his arms and pressed his mouth on Inuyasha's slowly pushing the soft mush into his mouth.

Inuyasha hummed chewing away at the food offered to him and smiled. "Yum, yum Papa."

Koga seeing what just transpired immediately hopped over to his own father's lap. "Poppy ah ah!" Koga pointed in his mouth mimicking Inuyasha's moves.

Kazo and Kurama laughed. "Of course my son. What would you like?"

Koga glanced around the blanket of food contemplating what he wanted to eat. Then his blue eyes fell on a plate of raw seasoned rabbit. A delicacy among Youko demons. "Ah very good choice my son."

I passed the plate over to Kazo for his own chewing for Koga who was proving to be a little impatient for his meal. "Poppy!" Koga whined yanking on his father's tail.

Kazo tried his best not to choke, snickering at the way Koga's blue eyes formed into the most adorable puppy dog set he'd ever seen. Yoko was chuckling at his brother's display to get what he wanted as I was too. It was too precious.

Kazo finished up with his task placing Koga in his lap and tilting his chin up. His lips pressed against his son's patiently putting the food through his mouth with his Fatherly kiss. After all of the meal was inside, Koga sat up grinning from ear to ear chewing and rubbing his tummy. "Ah good Poppy!" He said patting his stomach and crawling back over to join Inuyasha in the middle of the blanket. His brown tail wagged from side to side showing his upbeat mood.

I smiled. "Such a difference from when we found him years ago."

"Yes one would never guess this was the same dirty demon." Yoko commented remembering those years ago.

Taisho suddenly turned hardened eyes toward his best friend. "Kazo there has also been some issues suffering in my Territory as well."

"What is it?" He asked sipping some of his tea.

"We've been having issues on authority."

I nodded. "Yes pressure has been placed on me to provide an heir for the Territory."

This confused my godfather. "But why so soon? You're still young. I still haven't urged Kurama to take a mate yet and you're younger then he is."

Father shook his head. "Sesshomaru doesn't have to provide the kingdom an heir for some time it's just…he needs to find a worthy mate to give him that heir."

"I see." Godfather's stern blue eyes turned to gaze at me. "And as usual you're being picky in who you consider to be worthy of your seed are you not?"

He knew me so well. "That and the fact that I do not wish to have an early mistake take place. I'd rather take my time."

"Time is something we don't have Sesshomaru." Father scolded popping a grape in his mouth. "Sooner or later you're going to have to take a mate to continue our bloodline."

My eyes shifted down to the playing toddlers on the covers chasing each other around.

Father must have caught my line of vision when he said. "Do not worry. Inuyasha will be suited off as well."

That bit of information didn't sit well with me for some reason. "What do you mean by this?"

"It was clear to me when he turned twenty that he was of a Beta station. Inuyasha could never be of Alpha form. Therefore he will be mated off to some noble ruler for political reasons."

Kazo nodded his agreement. "That is what I have decided with Koga as well. I told took note of his submission when I sense his aura. He is of the Omega station. Not an Alpha like Kurama. He will be mated off to one of the kingdoms as a suitor to one of the rulers or one of their children too."

That admission didn't seem to sit well with Yoko either based on the way his tail suddenly bristled.

"Are you sure an arranged mating is best for them?" I questioned calmly, although I was feeling other than that. I didn't want Inuyasha for myself but I didn't want him with just anyone.

"He's right. I think the children should have a choice in who they want to mate with when they are old enough to make such decisions." I knew I could count on Yoko's supported input.

"Nonsense." Taisho waved us both off. "If it weren't for the fact that you two were born into Alpha station me and Kazo would've mated you to each other."

Kazo nodded his head. "Yes you two would've made an excellent pair."

Me and Yoko both spat out our tea rudely getting it all over our younger brothers.

"I beg your pardon?" I said stunned. "Me? Mated with that foolish Fox? Such a ridiculous notion."

Yoko wiped his mouth casually swishing the tea drops off his tail. "I agree. Hell shall freeze over before I am forced to mate with that dog."

Kazo sighed wiping the children's faces off with his large tail. "You two are idiots." He spat.

"It is as I said. If one of you was born a Beta or Omega as Youko call them, you would've been set into an arranged mating."

I resisted the urge to gag. Being forced into an arrangement mating was one thing but to be forced to submit to that Fox was downright cruel. Judging by Yoko's expression I assume he was having the same thoughts as I. I wouldn't want to be suited to me either. Even I had to admit my atittude was less than plesant to deal with.

"It would've been just like…" I heard Kazo say before trailing off. His eyes shifted around nervously before brushing it aside. "Nevermind. Let's discuss something else."

Godfather has been acting odd today. First the reactions to Father's touch then some of his incomplete sentences. What was wrong with him? He was never one to stumble over himself. He was just as crafty and tricky as Kurama possibly more. And his personality was stern but entertaining. More of a laid back person with a hinted fair air about him. So seeing him this way was disturbing.

"Sisso." I glanced down to see Inuyasha coming over to snuggle against me. "I sleepy." He mumbled yawning settling down between my legs.

I smirked my ghostly smile. One I've noticed that has become reserved for my brother. "Sleep well Little Brother." He looked so sweet and innocent when he slept. The mere thought of someone trying to dominate him angered me to no end. I could not bear to see him with another. Not because I wanted for myself but because…Well I wasn't too sure as to why. All I knew was that I wouldn't be able to see him with another.

"Rama…" I looked over to see Koga crawling over for his brother's as well. Koga purred deep in his chest when Yoko wrapped his long silver tail protectively over Koga's body. The cub's shorter tail came to rest against the bushy silver one and sighed. He too was done for the day.

"Rest easy Little Kit." He whispered running his claw through Koga's growing inky hair.

His yellow eyes discreetly rose up to meet my own. We both had that same look of displeasure in our eyes. Neither of us was pleased to hear about Koga or Inuyasha being used for political marriages for terms of peace or for gaining more land. What if the children were mated to a cruel ruler or the ruler's child? What if they were abused or worst killed? These events weren't uncommon in relationships.

We could only hope that our fathers reconsidered these thoughts…or just plain forgot about them.

We stayed outside for two hours or so discussing the upcoming events in our kingdoms.

When the weather started to look close to flooding the grounds, our session was cut short outside and taken into inside toward Inuyasha's playroom.

Koga and Inuyasha played with the chew teething toys for their incoming fangs while, Yoko, Kazo, Father and I, sat at a round table talking about nothing in particular. Treaties, meetings, whatever would take up our days.

While we talked Godfather was staring into his tea cup only answering a few questions here and there to seem as if he were into it. "Godfather is something the matter?" I asked quietly so Father and Yoko weren't interrupted with their talk.

I seemed to have startled him back from wherever he was when he blinked at me then gave his signature cocky grin. "Nothing is the matter my son. It must be all of this boring talk and what not." He teased sipping more of his drink.

I doubted that but let it go for now. I would ask Yoko about it later. Perhaps he would know what was wrong with him. After deciding that I returned to the listen to the discussion Yoko and Father were having catching only the last part of my father's sentence.

"…. I think that's a wonderful idea."

"What is?"

"Oh nothing my son. Yoko was just explaining to me how he thought it would be a splendid idea for Koga and Inuyasha to train together when they got of age."

"Which won't be for another few hundred years."

"So? I still think it's a great idea. What do you think Kazo?"

Said demon suddenly dropped his spoon with a cling on the floor. "Uh yes…wonderful plan. Marvelous." He spoke rapidly while picking his spoon up placing it on the table. "I think that's enough of our bonding for today. We really should be getting home."

"Already? But we normally last longer." Taisho reminded curiously.

"Yes well, you know I still have to umm well Koga…has some lessons to learn about…grooming himself properly and there's no time like the present to learn such skills." His speech was barely legible as he quickly grabbed Koga and Yoko dragging them both out the door. "We shall see you another time by friend." Then he disappeared out the door.

Oh no. I couldn't let Yoko leave without asking him my question. "Excuse me Father." I didn't check to see if he heard me. Actually I think he was still surprised at Kazo's sudden need to leaving as I was.

I managed to catch up to them but ducked behind a wall when I heard them talking. It was beneath me to eavesdrop but I needed to learn what exactly was going on.

"Father why the sudden need to leave?"

"I have my reasons for this Kurama. Just let leave it at that."

"But why? This isn't the first time you've done this."

Come to think of it Yoko was right. This wasn't the first time Kazo had cut their meeting short so abruptly. As a matter of fact he seemed to do it around a certain time. Buy why?

I heard my elder Godfather sigh. "Please Kurama don't question your father. Just know that I have my reasons for wanting to leave so soon. Now go on ahead with Koga. I need to take care of something."

"Yes...Father." Reluctant footsteps padded on our stone floor but they went unnoticed by me.

I was so caught up into the conversation my guard dropped and suddenly I felt something long and thick wrap around my waist flinging me high into the air, dragging me toward my Youko guardian. I was now hanging in midair staring my godfather in the face with his measuring crystal eyes.

"I have taught you better than that Sesshomaru. If you wish to cower from someone, how many times have I told you to slow your heart beat and steady your breathing? I could hear you from the moment you left the nursery."

I felt foolish. Yes he had taught me those skills and yet I was too caught up in my need to learn his reasons to perform them. "My apologies godfather. I was concerned about your wellbeing and wanted to know what was ailing you."

"Hm." His claws traced over my cheek coming to rest under my chin, as he's done so many times in the past. "I'm fine my son. Release him." He said ordering the vine to release me to the floor. "But know your station when trying to address the issues of your elders in such a manner. Do you understand?"

I bowed. "Yes Godfather."

"As I've told you before in the chamber and what I'm sure you've heard me say to your brother, I am fine and I have my reasons for wanting to leave. The last I recall I'm old enough to do as I wished and didn't need the consoles of my Kits. Is that clear?"

"Yes Godfather." I must have really angered him for him to take that tone with me. I was rarely chastised by my godfather and when I was he was able to make me feel as if I were a small pup about to get a spanking.

Kazo sighed at by submitted bow and tapped my head to motion for me to rise. "Sesshomaru I… Just know that I am fine. I just have some issues that need to be worked out and I'll do them on my own time. But for now try not to worry ok?"

His eyes weren't as hard as before. They were sad. I didn't understand what could be the sudden reason for his sorrow but I nodded. "Yes godfather."

Kazo kissed my forehead and turned to follow behind his sons. I watched the way his confident walked was reduced to one of a slowed step. I couldn't help still feel concerned. Whatever it was that worried Godfather, it was something..disturbing.

I traveled back to the nursery still thinking about God father's behavior. What could have spooked him to want to leave so quickly?

"Sisso?" I glanced down to see Inuyasha stumbling over to latch around my ankle.

"What is it little brother?"

Inuyasha whimpered holding his arms up to be held. I oblidged him. I assume he could feel my distress when he hugged my neck and pressed a sweet kiss to my cheek. The little hanyou sighed digging his round face into my skin. His tiny embrace caused low flutters in my chest. Such innocence. "Thank you little brother."

Inuyasha smiled snuggling into my chest.

Strange but...I don't know why...I felt...I felt like I needed to...to...

"Father?" I turned around to face the silent demon. "May I take Inuyasha to the balcony for a moment?"

"Huh? Oh yes yes of course my son." Father stood up in a daze obvisiously still pondering over god father's actions. "Just...have him back by his bedtime."

"Yes Father." The king left out the room. I followed out after him heading straight for the balcony positioned inside the castle but gave us enough windows to look outside. The weather was still unagreeable.

When I stepped on the poarch, I held Inuyasha tightly to my chest inhaling his loving scent. For some reason I just felt the need to preform this task. But it was something I couldn't do in front of father. He would find the act upsetting. "Inuyasha?"

"Hmmm?" He answered looking up at me with those big golden eyes I've come to adore.

I used a single claw to tilt his plump chin upward looking deep in his eyes. "Inuyasha may I kiss you?" I know it was odd to ask a mere babe such a question for I felt...tonight I felt that I needed to...make contact with him. Tonight he just seemed so beautiful...so...alluring.

"I like Sisso kissy."

I smiled my gratitude and lend down to press my lips against his baby smooth set in a chaste kiss. I would not dare force more unto his youthful soul. No but just for tonight I want to savor in his honey puppy breathe and the pure smoothness of his mouth. Kami knew I wanted to do more but I held my restraint. He tasted like sweetened nectar from a flower grown by my brother. I ended the kiss before the boy loss his oxygen and sighed.

Inuyasha's baby eyes shun in glee and he clapped his hands happily. "I like Sisso kissy!"

My face reveals the same emotions he's always so open to display as I gazed up at the cressant moon. "I like your kiss too Inuyasha." Probably more than I should.

TBC ^_^ Hmm I wonder what could be wrong with Kazo. What is he so nervous about? Next chapter coming soon. It's Inuyasha's turn. (Pre-Teen hanyou)
