Disclaimer: I think it’s obvious that I don’t own this. Any original characters that you find, yes, those are mine. However, all characters from the Inuyasha, or Inuyasha: The Final Act Series…those are all owned by Rumiko Takahashi and VIZ; as are any ‘story lines’ from the episodes that I used to set the scenes at the beginning.
I WISH I was making money off of this. Sadly, I am not.
Honestly, I’d be happy if I could just have them enacting my later chapters on my hdtv. Better than money. ;) Ha.

Chapter 6 – Noticing Things

Sesshoumaru was landing at the hot spring within moments. Hoping he could distract the boy long enough to get his clothes off, he gently wrapped his Moko-moko tighter around his brother’s face. Seeing Inuyasha burrow his face into the fur made Sesshoumaru smile.
He quickly had the boy’s clothing off, wrapped him in Moko-moko to keep him warm, and then removed his own. Stepping into the hot water, he slowly submerged them both.
Using his fingers and claws, he gently washed out the blood that saturated Inuyasha’s hair. Even after knowing how gravely Inuyasha had been injured, he was still amazed at the amount of blood that flowed into the water. Using the tip of his fur, he then washed the remaining blood from the boy’s skin.
Thinking how much was also left soaking his juban and hakama, it sickened him, and he wished he could wash his clothes, but would not clothe him in wet clothing in his condition. He would just have to send the miko or Jaken back to the village for different clothes when they were finished here.
Sitting back with Inuyasha resting in his lap, he was able to truly notice the boy’s body for the first time.
He was built perfectly. InuYoukai were known to be beautiful creatures; and Shiro Inu such as they were known to be the most beautiful in the world. He could see his little brother certainly lived up to their proud heritage. The boy had not one speck of fat anywhere on his body. He was toned and lithe, and looked exceptionally strong.
‘He is strikingly beautiful,’ the Youkai Lord realized with a start.
He must not think along those lines any further, nor look below his waist, or the boy would scent his arousal if he woke up. Sesshoumaru instead looked up at the stars, holding his baby brother, and wondering about these new feelings.
Inuyasha slept peacefully in his arms.
Sesshoumaru eventually rose from the spring, dried them both off, redressed, although he cringed at having to clothe the boy in his bloody clothes, and brought them back to the campfire.
“Miko, where are Inuyasha’s other clothes? I will send Jaken to the village to retrieve them. He cannot stay in the clothes he has, with them smelling so strongly of his own blood.”
“My Lord, the Young Lord does not have any other clothes. I will wash his…let me go to see if there are any he can borrow from one of the men in the village,” Kaede offered.
Before she could rise, Sesshoumaru said, “Jaken. Return to the Castle immediately and bring back some clothing to fit Inuyasha. He cannot stay in the clothes he has, with them smelling so strongly of his own blood. Bring two changes for myself as well.” He could only think, ‘No way is my Otouto going to wear clothing stinking of some human male, especially one he probably dislikes.’
“Yes Milord!” Jaken answered as he jumped on A-Un and raced to the West, wondering where in the world he was supposed to find clothes to fit the half-breed.
“The little imp is quite the ass-kisser, but it seems he serves loyally even so,” Kaede smiled as she began to apply a thick herbal ointment to the severe burns on Inuyasha’s chest and neck from the rosary.
“You would be correct Miko-sama,” Sesshoumaru did not smile, but the humor in his voice was obvious.

***

Jaken arrived at the castle and was instantly confronted by Rin. “Jaken-sama! Where is Sesshoumaru-sama? I can feel that there is something badly wrong! He’s not hurt is he?” she cried.
“No girl! Now get out of my way! I must somehow find clothes for the half-breed; I have no time for your foolishness!” Jaken screeched.
“You mean Inuyasha-sama? There are some clothes in a chest in Sesshoumaru-sama’s room from when he was smaller. Maybe they would fit!” She went running to Sesshoumaru’s private chambers, giving Jaken little choice but to follow her.
She fell to her knees in front of an ornate chest nearly hidden to one side of the large wardrobe holding Sesshoumaru’s clothing. Throwing open the lid, she began to reach in and throw clothing out and over her head.
Jaken quickly caught a red silk kimono and hakama with heavily embroidered sleeves, and then a black set soon followed and nearly flew over his head. Catching yet another set of kimono and hakama nearly identical to what Sesshoumaru wore, in white with dark purple, he quickly asked Rin for the obi, ties, undershirts, and other accessories for the outfits.
Gathering it all and bundling it up, Jaken could not help but feel some outrage. Seeing the three embroidered mon on the shoulders of the white outfit, and the beautiful embroidered designs on the sleeves along with the Royal Crest on the chest of the others, and knowing these were for the half-breed…it made him angry, thinking that the Hanyou had no right to any of it. Nevertheless, his Lord had spoken.
He opened the wardrobe and chose two outfits for Sesshoumaru as well, taking a moment to run his fingers over the mitsu-mon embroidered on the shoulders, identical to the clothing destined for the half-breed. He then bundled them separately and began to run, knowing he had to hurry.
Flying out of the room with the bundles, he nearly barreled headfirst into Rin, who was deliberately blocking his way with her arms stretched out to the sides and a determined look on her face.
“Jaken-sama! Let me come with you! I’m better enough to go!”
Just as she was saying that, her healer and guards came running, following the sounds of chaos in the hall. “No, Rin you are not well enough, and it’s late at night! Now we need to get you back into bed! Come child,” the human healer stated firmly after hearing her plea.
With that, Jaken breathed a huge sigh of relief, watching the protesting girl as she was carried back to her room. He did feel somewhat badly though. She’d helped him greatly, so he couldn’t resist.
“Thank you for the help Rin. Now go and do as the healers say. You know Sesshoumaru-sama will be happy if he can see you completely healthy when he returns.”
The girl instantly stopped her protests. “O-kay Ja-ken-sa-ma,” she said dejectedly, and allowed herself to be carried away.
Jaken quickly jumped back on A-Un, and as fast as he could, sped back to his Lord.

***

Jaken was in such a rush that when A-Un nearly overflew the camp, Jaken hit the dirt, rolling a few times before he stopped. This caused small smirks on the faces of those watching, but they were both very pleased he had returned so swiftly.
“Jaken. You were able to procure something so quickly? I had expected it to take much longer. What did you find?” Sesshoumaru asked.
“Here Milord!” the imp came running and unrolled the bundle for Inuyasha first.
Sesshoumaru’s eyes widened slightly. These were his old clothes! How could Jaken have known about them?
Jaken, seeing his Lord’s expression, instantly thought the worst. “Mi-mi-milord! I… I… Young Rin met me as I entered the Castle. When I told her why I was there, she led me to a chest in your rooms. I hope your humble servant has not displeased you by doing this; I felt speed was more important than any other consideration. I will accept any punishment you deem fit for entering your rooms without permission,” and again the imp was nose down in the dirt, waiting for his Master’s displeasure.
“No, Jaken, you did very well. I was only surprised you were able to find that chest. Knowing now it was Rin, I am not so surprised. She seems to easily know everything about that castle, and me in particular. Arigatou Jaken. You may rest now,” Sesshoumaru said.
Jaken beamed with his Lord’s praise, and trotted to the other side of the fire to rest. He was asleep within moments.
Sesshoumaru picked up the clothing to inspect it, noting happily that it still contained his scent, and would perhaps help to keep Inuyasha feeling safe as he slept. Placing the others aside, he kept the red silk outfit in his hands.
“Kaede-sama. Please excuse us.”
“Certainly My Lord,” she nodded.
He gently picked the boy up, trying not to wake him, and carried him behind a stand of trees with thick bushes at their base. Taking special care not to jostle Inuyasha, he changed his clothes, made certain it was all arranged comfortably for him, and then wadded up his blood-soaked juban and Fire Rat hakama and walked back into the firelight.
In the dark, at first glance, Kaede did not notice much difference in Inuyasha’s clothing. But when Sesshoumaru lay him back down in the firelight, she noticed it was a red silk kimono and hakama, rather than the boy’s usual coarse Fire Rat suikan and sashuniki hakama, and that it was of the finest silk. It even had embroidered designs of Inu on the sleeves. It was a beautiful outfit. She then noticed the crest on Inuyasha’s chest, sitting right over his heart in fact. The crest of the Royal Shiro-InuYoukai Clan. She knew then that these were Sesshoumaru’s own clothes.
“My Lord, please forgive this question, but I only ask out of concern for Inuyasha… Will he not encounter trouble for wearing your Royal Crest? And the white and purple outfit brought for him even has your mitsu-mon on the shoulder…”
Sesshoumaru glanced up at the Miko. “Generally yes, but there will be no doubt before I leave here that my Otouto will have the right to wear it, and no one in Japan will question it. I promise you that.” Then, in a much quieter voice that Kaede did not think she was supposed to hear, the Lord continued, “It is long overdue, and I have denied him his rights for far too long as it is.”
Kaede just smiled to herself. “Thank you My Lord. Oh, one other thing…we should all try to rest if we can. Inuyasha should wake up within a few hours, probably with the coming dawn, and we should be ready for him to be in a great deal of pain. After all, your blood is still mixing with his, and we don’t know what effects this will have. I have made plenty of the potion that relieves his pain and forces him to sleep, and we can give it to him each time he wakes. The more he can sleep the quicker he will heal.”
“You are correct. Please Miko-sama, rest for now. If you need to return to your dwelling, you may take A-Un, but I would appreciate it if you would return here, for when Inuyasha wakes.”
“I am fine Sesshoumaru-sama. I will sleep here, if that is agreeable to you.”
“It is.”
Kaede lay down and Sesshoumaru was finally alone with his thoughts.
Watching the flickering shadows from the fire, he turned his attention inward. Holding Inuyasha was making him feel things that confused him, so he decided he would try to sort through it all while he had the privacy of silence.

Japanese used in this story:
Sashinuki hakama: The hakama Sess & Inu normally wear in the anime, gathered around the ankles.
*mon: Mon means crest and kamon means family crest. I’ve used “mon” here because I’m not sure if Sesshoumaru’s father wore the same design on his clothing.
*mitsu mon: (3 mon)
*A mon makes a garment a formal one, suitable for formal occasions. It can have one, three or five mon; the more mon it has, the more formal the occasion it is deemed suitable for. Garments with mon are divded into three types: itsutsu mon (5 mon), mitsu mon (3 mon) and hitotsu mon (1 mon). A family may choose a mon that is associated with their family (a family mon is called a kamon) or just opt for one they like instead.

Shiro: (白) the color white
Arigatou: (ありがとう) “Thank you”
