The morning came too soon. Helaku had spent most of the night in a very light sleep, allowing him to awaken each time Sesshomaru moaned in anguish, his body twitching with each nightmare. He stroked his cheeks and kissed his head each time, whispering to him that he was okay. He couldn’t imagine the dreams he was having but he would help him get through it. Had the man known, he was sure he’d have been embarrassed.
                He felt Sesshomaru shift and prepared himself to fight away another nightmare but found amber eyes gazing at him. “You’re awake?”
                “Yes,” Sesshomaru still sounded exhausted.
                “You should rest more, you can’t have gotten that good a rest,” His hands were at present on Sesshomaru’s hips and they shifted further around his waist.
                “I need to--,” Sess started.
                “You need to rest. Shikamaru can handle affairs for now, please just rest,” Helaku pressed his forehead to Sesshomaru’s.
                Sesshomaru gave a growl of disapproval, not liking Helaku’s tone. He felt like he was being chastised and he was the emperor, dammit. His body betrayed him though, relaxing into the bed to fall back asleep.
                “I love you so much, please just rest,” Helaku kissed his cheeks and then his lips softly.
                There was another grumpy growl as Sess’s eyes fluttered shut against his will. Helaku smiled, his lips brushing Sesshomaru’s again before he moved his head back away from him. He sighed, shutting his own eyes. He waited until he heard soft snores before untangling himself and going to the living area to get the phone. He dialed Shika again.
                “Good Morning, your dad woke up. He’s exhausted. I told him you could handle the day,” Helaku looked out his window, his naked body on display if someone were to walk by. He knew it was unlikely, but he moved to shut the blinds anyway.
                “Of course, tell him to take time to heal. I can handle things for a bit,” Helaku could tell they were having breakfast.
                “I think he’s going to be mad we’re making him take time off but it’s for the best,” Helaku picked up the remote and turned the tv to the news. The attack was still being featured and he smiled slightly when the news coverage showed Sesshomaru sharing a kiss with him after everything. They talked about his injuries, talked about his strength as a leader, and talked about the symbolism behind seeing this one glimpse into the power couple ruling over the world.
                “Sounds like you’re watching the same thing as me, they’re really excited about that kiss,” Shika offered a snort.
                “Well, it was a pretty magical moment. Your dad is very private,” Helaku heard his cell phone ringing in his room and mentally cursed. That would wake his superior up for sure.
                “Heh, that was most certainly a once in a lifetime capture,” Shika chided one of his siblings, his hand covering the phone.
                “I need to go, my cell’s going off. How often do you want updates?” Helaku started for his bedroom and was confused when the phone stopped ringing.
                “Maybe just call back tonight, we’re not used to not seeing our dad at breakfast and dinner so it’ll be nice to at least hear him,” Shikamaru responded after a moment.
                “Of course. Goodbye,” Helaku hung up and looked in his room to see Sesshomaru on the bed. His cell phone was to his ear, talking very softly.
                “Absolutely. He’s just stepped away. I understand, he’s fine, he was well protected,” Sess’s eyes drawled lazily to him and he smiled.
                ‘Who is it?’ he mouthed to Sess. He was confused on why he would answer his phone.
                “He’s back, I’m sure he’s going to be ecstatic to talk to his mother. I will, you take care as well—of course I will take care of your son, Kamillia. Here he is,” Sess held the phone up towards him. Helaku was quickly to the bed as soon as he heard ‘mother’. He looked to Sess, a small blush on his face. He knew his mother, and he knew his mother had no problems telling the emperor to treat him well.
                Sess folded his arms behind his head, his eyes fluttering shut as he sprawled out across the bed. Helaku talked in hushed tones with his mom, sitting next to Sesshomaru on the bed. He reached over and played with a piece of his silver hair as he talked about the events of the evening with her, slipping into his mother’s language when he spoke of his lover.
                Sess’s brow quirked at the change, looking over at him. He knew some of the words, he knew most of the languages in the realms at least enough to get by on his own. He smiled a little at the bits he did recognize and put his hand on Helaku’s thigh, just wanting to be touching. He fell asleep again, and Helaku smiled endearingly, telling his mother just how exhausted he was and how he’d fallen asleep with his hand on his leg. She was excited for her boy, happy he had love in his life. They ended their call and he snuggled back down into bed, falling back asleep with him.
                Helaku woke again around noon, his stomach rumbling in misery. He looked to Sesshomaru, still peacefully oblivious to the world. His chest rose and fell softly as he slept on. He smiled and gently pulled himself from bed. He grabbed some clothes and left the room to get dressed so he wouldn’t wake him.
                He padded across the wood floor to the kitchen, he was glad he had gone grocery shopping recently and dug around his pantry and fridge until he found the ingredients to make lunch. He knew his emperor ate light at lunch since they would have tea in just a few hours, he also knew they would not have tea today. The man liked cucumber sandwiches and Helaku found he was pretty sure he had the right ingredients and made him a couple sandwiches, taking care to cut them into little triangles as they came on his tea tray.
                He also located a few cans of soup and threw them in a pot to have something warm with those little sandwiches. He made himself a roast beef sandwich with tomatoes and lettuce, creating an extra one in case Sesshomaru would want meat for lunch or if he fancied more than one after he ate. The soup took next to no time to boil and he sat back, pretty proud of himself.
                He ladled soup into a nice set of bowls and placed a plate underneath of it. He then arranged the sandwiches around the bowls and grinned. He picked up the plates and was about to take them to the bedroom but gently sat them back down on the counter as he noticed Sesshomaru standing in the doorway of the bedroom. He was still nude from the night before, his body on display. Helaku blushed.
                “I made lunch,” the words fell dumbly from his lips.
                “I need clothes,” Sess mumbled sleepily. He stretched, Helaku admiring every inch of him.
                “Of course, hold on,” Helaku hustled to his room, brushing past him to his bedroom closet. He tried to find clothes that would suit him. He felt Sesshomaru slide up behind him, arms weaving around his waist and chin resting on his shoulder as he looked through the clothes. His body was heavy as it leaned on him, he was beginning to get worried as seemed it was more for support than just being sweet.
                Sesshomaru reached into the closet after a second and pulled a flannel out. Helaku watched him slide it on then moved to his dresser, handing him a pair of boxers. He dug in a drawer for a second then offered a pair of sweatpants. Sesshomaru looked mortified.
                “These will be really comfortable if you want to nap later,” Helaku offered them a second longer, getting ready to pull a pair of jeans out. Sesshomaru took the sweatpants, sliding them on. Helaku looked at him wearing his shirt and sweats, the shirt opened. The way he looked at the outfit in disdain before just accepting this was his life currently.
                Sesshomaru left the bedroom, Helaku following behind him. He sat at the counter, looking between the plates before predictably picking the soup with cucumber sandwiches. He didn’t speak, just hungrily ate his lunch. Helaku sat next to him, smiling, slowly eating his lunch as well. “Your underwear is scratchy.”
                Helaku looked to him slowly. “I think they’re fine. They’re cotton.”
                Sesshomaru squirmed a little and raised an eyebrow at him. Helaku laughed and kept eating his soup.
                “Other than scratchy underwear, how are you feeling?” Helaku tipped his bowl up to drink the broth of his soup.
                “Better,” Sess admitted it quietly.
                “Me and Shikamaru think you should take a few days to heal,” Helaku approached the subject casually, hoping it would help shove his fight down. There was a very long silence, Helaku could feel the fight about to ensue. Helaku made gentle eye contact, not wanting to spur it further.
                “I need to return to my people. This is already too much time away from my duty,” Sesshomaru sighed. It wasn’t an argument to him, there wasn’t a question on what he needed to do. This was the wrong move.
                “Shikamaru is tending to the people, you’ve raised him well. He can handle it,” Helaku maintained a soft tone, turning his body and putting his hand on Sesshomaru’s knee.
                Those amber eyes shut, this was his pre-argument face. Helaku knew it well from heated meetings they had, had over the years. His jaw was tense, the agitated crinkles around his eyes, all that was missing was his fingers rubbing the bridge of his nose. “I just don’t feel like it’s a good idea to step down for longer than I have.”
                “You’ve not stepped down. You’re healing. The whole world is standing with you right now, more united than before. They saw the wound on the news, they know what happened. If you rush back in, you’re only going to get weaker, not stronger,” Helaku did his best to avoid intimidating posture, he did the same with particularly sensitive effeminates in the military. He knew Sess would pick up on what he was doing soon and he would be offended.
                Those eyes opened, hardened. Here it came. “I cannot neglect my duties because I am tired. I cannot neglect my duties just because I am injured. To do so would be to betray my people.”
                “Sesshomaru, stop. No one thinks that,” Helaku folded his arms before quickly putting them back at his sides. He was just going to fan the argument.
                “Helaku… I literally have no idea what I am going to do if I’m not working,” the anger was gone from his voice.
                “My emperor, we can do anything you desire, but I am not letting you strain yourself. Dr. Foxx’s orders,” he smiled.
                Those long fingers clasped in his lap and then slowly unfolded and pulled on the string of the sweatpants. He scowled, almost as if the material was burning his hand for a moment. “I need to get this underwear off. They are awful.”
                Helaku laughed as he got up and walked to the bedroom and came back with the sweatpants still on. Helaku was cleaning up lunch as he came back and looked at him again. “I’m surprised you kept the pants.”
                “The pants aren’t uncomfortable, the pants are just … not flattering,” He pulled on them slightly, noting that they hung down just a little due to Helaku’s larger hips. He noticed he had extra room in the shirt too. There were benefits to lean muscles, one of those benefits was not fitting into Helaku’s clothes.
                “I have found, the pants are flattering when it comes to certain things,” He grinned, placing dishes into his dishwasher.
                Sesshomaru looked to try and find the benefits and found none. The gray, fleece material was baggy and didn’t show off his nicer qualities at all. He handed dishes to Helaku. Helaku seemed mildly distracted as he helped.
                “You didn’t notice, did you? I’ll go put a pair on and you’ll see,” Helaku smirked, “we’ll have a pajama day, I don’t need to wear jeans. I was gonna head out and run some errands but now I know I need to babysit you to make sure you don’t go out and rip that wound open.”
                “I do not need babysat,” Sesshomaru stated it coldly.
                “You do, you’re just too stubborn to know it,” Helaku teased. He got up and kissed Sesshomaru’s forehead before going to his room to put his jeans back and switch them for sweatpants. He walked out and Sesshomaru looked him over, he still didn’t get it. They were not nice looking. He went to sit on the couch and watched Helaku walk to him and that’s when he noticed.
                “You like them because people can see your package?” Sess looked at his lap.
                “Other people like them because they can see my package,” Helaku laughed.
                “Why would you want that?” Sess looked to him, his face contorted in confusion.
                “You don’t like to feel like everyone wants you?” Helaku raised an eyebrow.
                “I know a fair amount of people want me, and my suits are tailored to highlight all my best features. I don’t need anyone to see my package through my pants,” He pulled at the material.
                “And if I like seeing your package through your pants?” Helaku grinned, turning the tv on.
                Sesshomaru said nothing, but Helaku laughed as he felt a smack on his arm and heard a small click of his tongue. Sesshomaru got up, looking around the living room and Helaku watched him thoughtfully.
                “What’re you looking for?” Helaku rested his head on the back of the couch.
                “A book. You know how bored I get with the television,” Sesshomaru waved his hand.
                “I don’t have a lot of books, love. I’m not a reader like you. There’s a little bookcase in my home study though,” Helaku pointed at a door near his bedroom. Sess walked off, coming back with three books in his hands and curling up to Helaku’s side. He set them down on the sofa next to him and cracked the first one open. They sat like this for most of the afternoon, a pleasant silence as they just took it easy.
                Closer to dinner, Helaku set up his tablet in the living room, connecting it to his television and placed a video call to Shika. Shika picked up within seconds, relieved to hear from the two. “Foxx! What did you do to my father?!”
                Helaku looked to Sess confused, trying to figure out what was wrong with him. Sess looked at Shika, “He’s given me these give up on life pants and this is his best shirt. The pants are comfortable at least.”
                Helaku rolled his eyes. He wouldn’t have guessed Sesshomaru cared about his image this much. He was being a diva about his clothes. The rest of the kids came into frame as Shika moved away and they all had something to say about their dad in his current fashion choices. Helaku laid his arm around his Sess’s shoulders, listening to him catch up with his kids.
                “Has your uncle been okay? Has anyone checked on him?” Sess finally questioned.
                “No, the escorts won’t let us near him,” Izumi piped up.
                “Well, they’re doing their job at least. Want to bring one of them here? We should be checking on him,” Sess pulled the shirt on his shoulders closed, not wanting to button it after just having it open all day. Truth be told, he liked this shirt. It was the same one he borrowed on his cart ride of shame back to the palace. It was soft, it smelled like Helaku and it was warm.
                The guard came on the screen, looking uncomfortable at the casualness of Sesshomaru. His face said ‘never speak of this’ and the guard did not plan to be the one to tell everyone about his current state of affairs. “Your highness?”
                “I’m being held captive by the Commander. In my absence, I’d like my kids to be able to visit their uncle if he’ll have them,” Sesshomaru’s face was emotionless as always but a smile played at Helaku’s lips. He would love to embarrass him in this moment, giving him a tender kiss on the shell of his ear maybe, maybe a little nip on his throat. Maybe kiss where his stubble would make him do that shiver he loved. He resisted, a stupid grin on his face as all the thoughts slipped through his mind.
                “Ugh, why do you look like such a pervert?” Akiko’s voice roused him from his thoughts.
                “Just thinking about what I could do to embarrass your dad in front of that guy,” Helaku snickered.
                “Put me in sweatpants. The answer is put me in these sweatpants,” Sess looked at him, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
                “Well dear, maybe he liked seeing your package,” Helaku got a mischievous grin on his face.
                “I just don’t understand why that is a thing! Who wants to see that?!” Sess looked at him, exasperated.
                “A lot of people depending on whose package it is,” Helaku laughed. The Taisho children were glancing at each other, not sure how to react to the conversation happening in front of them.
                “Don’t be teaching my daddy about your pervert ways! He’s a gentleman!” Keiko chirped in.
                Helaku had belly laughs at this point, deep and warm in tone. Sesshomaru liked this, it was so easy suddenly, he felt like a full family again. The kids were all talking now, reprimanding Helaku for teaching him about sweatpants and anything else he might be tainting their noble father with.
                The call ended with giggles and laughter, even smiles from Sesshomaru before the kids had to leave for dinner. Helaku felt him relax against him when the call ended and just watched him a moment. His eyes were sparkling with happiness, he looked questioning at Helaku when he stared too long.
                “You just look so happy,” Helaku nuzzled against his neck, his stubble grazing gently against that sensitive little part of Sesshomaru’s neck.
                “I am very content,” Sesshomaru shivered, his eyes closing briefly.
                “If you weren’t injured, I’d be hauling you to bed,” Helaku laughed.
                “I would like to eat first if you’re planning on ravaging me,” Sesshomaru got up and went and dug around Helaku’s kitchen.
                “Well, just make yourself at home I guess,” Helaku followed to the counter and sat on a stool watching him.
                “Believe it or not, I know how to cook. I just haven’t done it in a verrrry long time,” Sess found a skillet and pan. He began cooking some rice, his long fingers nimble and fast as he chopped some vegetables as it cooked. Helaku watched in disbelief.
                “Well, I think this is the ultimate form of love from you. This is it, this is the climax of our relationship. Nothing will ever be as amazing as this moment,” Helaku teased.
                “If this is the climax of our relationship, our bedroom activities must not be to your liking,” Sess snorted.
                “I love our bedroom activities. That is literally my favorite part of bedtime!” Helaku smirked, waggling his eyebrows at him.
                “Hm, I think my kids were right. Maybe you are turning me into a pervert,” Sess laughed, “ Such a bad influence.”
                “I will keep poisoning your mind if it means I get to enjoy your company,” Helaku continued to watch him prepare all his ingredients.
                “You need more fresh foods, all the cans aren’t as good for you,” Sess commented as he looked at the small amount of vegetables he was able to locate.
                “I wasn’t aware you were so focused on nutrition,” Helaku propped his head up on his hands, his elbows resting on the counter.
                “I like fresh foods,” Sess shrugged, slicing pork into thin strips and then cubing it. Helaku hummed and just watched him as he cooked. He made fried rice, his hands moving as if on autopilot. “I used to make this for Rin. We had meat sometimes but it was mostly vegetables.”
                Helaku smiled lovingly, this man owned all of his heart. Sess served him, placing a heaping pile of rice on his plate. He got his own plate and then sat down next to Helaku and ate. “By the gods, this is delicious.”
                “Thank you,” Sess smiled gently, enjoying their little dinner. With a full belly he helped Helaku clean up. He looked around to make sure there were no other dishes and yelped when Helaku hoisted him up off the ground and carried him to the bedroom. Helaku found great amusement in the noise.
                Helaku put him on the bed, kissing him as he stood back up. “We need to check that wrapping.”
                “And you couldn’t have done that any other way?” Sess grumped at him.
                “Well, that was the fun way,” Helaku walked off to get the medical supplies back out. He unwrapped the wound, feeling the edges for any heat and checking for infection. He kissed his shoulders, dressing the wound back up. “Looks like you’re healing up good.”
                “I should be healed by tomorrow, so I can go back to work,” Sesshomaru gave him an appreciation kiss.
                “You’re not going back to work tomorrow,” Helaku mumbled against his lips and put his supplies away.
                He came back and laid on the bed, Sesshomaru shifting to lay beside him. He dared to think Sesshomaru was almost pouting but did not want to risk losing a limb by saying it out loud. “I will go mad if I don’t have something to do tomorrow.”
                “I can give you plenty to do tomorrow,” Helaku grinned and laughed at the half-assed slap to his chest.
                “We need to have an emperor to commander conversation real quick,” his brow furrowed and he looked to Helaku, serious face in place.
                “What’s going on?” Helaku sat up on his elbows, looking over at him. He tried to shake off the playful mood, wondering how Sess shifted so quickly between them.
                “We need to be prepared if what happened at the palace ever happens again. I can and will gladly fight any demons of old, but as a race we haven’t been using magic in the same way. Modern demons just aren’t… built that way anymore,” He sighed, racking his brain.
                “This has been bothering you for a minute, hasn’t it?” Helaku resisted trying to comfort him. He was Commander right now, not his lover.
                “It has been. I think I want to try to awaken it in the generals. I want to run training to see what we can do. InuYasha could be a freak accident, but the necklace around his neck I think indicates it wasn’t. I don’t have a good feeling. I’ve felt this way before, a long time ago and if it means what it meant then this isn’t over and we’re in over our heads already,” Sesshomaru sighed. He didn’t want to think about Naraku, he didn’t want to think about Kagura or any of them. He couldn’t shake it though, the uneasiness was exactly the same.
                “I understand. How do you want to conduct the training?” Helaku got up from the bed, fetching a piece of paper and pen to make a note for himself.
                “I want to try to awaken your beast first. See if it’s even possible,” Sess sat up to look at him. Helaku froze momentarily then slowly nodded.
                “What would that entail?” He did not want to be a science experiment.
                “We’re going to spar, it’s going to be tough, I might hurt you and I apologize in advance. I just feel in my soul that’s what would do it. Put you in enough danger that it has no choice but to come out,” Sess was quiet, he didn’t like it but this was what his whole being was telling him to do. He couldn’t ignore the way his brain instantly told him this was the answer.
                “I don’t want to fight you,” Helaku set his paper down.
                “And I don’t want to fight you, but I can’t think of any other way. When does the beast come out? When you are in danger. I don’t wish to put you against my brother, he doesn’t love you, he won’t care as much if he hurts you,” He looked torn. He didn’t want to hurt his champion.
                “I see. If you think it’s the only way, I will accept this training,” Helaku sighed. He folded his hands behind his back, his posture perfectly straight.
                “I think it is the only way. If it does not work, I don’t know what will,” Sess relaxed back down into the bed and looked at Helaku.
                “Are we done being commander and emperor?” Helaku rocked on the balls of his feet.
                “Yes, please carry on with being silly. I find it quite endearing,” Sess let a smile tug at his lips.
                Helaku smiled and walked over to the bed, laying back down. He snuggled up to Sesshomaru and sighed heavily, “Well, I find it extremely endearing when you let loose with me.”
                Sesshomaru hummed and they laid like that for a few moments. Helaku’s cheek on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, he was so thankful for it. He ran soft circles on Sesshomaru’s stomach with his hand, feeling his abs and trailing his hand up to his chest. He felt him tense a little and smirked, something exciting was getting ready to happen. He let his hand wander, chest to stomach and back. His palm ran over a nipple that hardened at the attention. He felt those eyes and innocently glanced up, questioning the side eye currently being given to him.
                Sesshomaru didn’t stop him, his hand traveling to his navel to feel the soft silver trail of hair into his sweatpants. Helaku resisted a laugh lest he ruin the sexual tension currently building, thinking about what a priss his emperor was about his clothing. Then he remembered the man had removed his boxers and he almost had tears in his eyes as he held his amusement that the man hated cotton boxers so much, he went commando most of the day. He was the only one who would ever know the man had no problems with this if it meant the alternative was cotton boxers.
                Sess’s heartbeat was quickening as his fingers dipped into the waistband of his pants, and a soft growl rumbled in his chest when Helaku teasingly pulled them back out, running back up to his chest. As far away from the attention he desperately wanted as Helaku allowed himself. He smirked in secret, acting as if not knowing what he was doing. He mimicked his own comforting motions, teasing his body again. Sess said nothing, his body didn’t move but Helaku could feel those eyes watching him.
                “I know you may feel differently, but I am so very happy you can’t die right now. How would I live without this after I’ve had it?” Helaku sighed, his fingers following the little treasure trail again past Sesshomaru’s navel and fingers sliding just under the fabric of the pants, resting there.
                “You’re right, dying would be better than this torture,” Sesshomaru replied huskily. His eyes were fixed on that hand, fingertips resting just inches away from his arousal.
                “Mm, what’s that? You don’t want me to do this tonight? If you insist,” Helaku moved his hand away, stretching and beginning to roll away. He smirked as strong arms were very quick to haul him back over, pulling him so he straddled Sess’s hips. He had that possessive look mixed with a dominating look. Helaku found it attractive, there were no questions about it.
                There were no words, only the feel of Sesshomaru rolling his hips up against him. He bit his lip, holding in a moan at the motion. He arched his back slightly as he pressed his own hips down, meeting him on the second roll of hips. That growl, he never thought he’d like to hear that growl. It was alpha, it was the sound of a dominant male and Helaku had always considered himself just that. Yet, here he was, loving the sound that just seemed to scream, ‘This is mine. Don’t fucking touch it.’
                Sesshomaru rolled them, causing his head to spin. This was new, the man now over him, hips situated comfortably between his legs. That growl rolled out of him again, making his hair stand up, his toes curl just the slightest. A shiver ran down his spine. He looked up to Sesshomaru and froze, something was off. “Sesshomaru.”
                Sess was looking at him, but it was like his gaze was clouded. Spots of red bled around the corners of his eyes and his hands gripped Helaku’s sides incredibly tight. His hips ground hard against Helaku, almost carnal. Sess did not respond.
                “Sesshomaru!” Helaku tried to push him away.
                This only made him angry, his hands moving to pin Helaku against the bed. Helaku frowned, his instincts kicked in and he very swiftly clamped his legs around Sess’s hips, rolling his body so they crashed hard on the ground with Sess beneath him. This knocked the wind out of the injured man and Helaku used this time to quickly find something to restrain him. He tied him to the bed, not trusting it to hold long. He looked down at Sess, his vision still clouded and now even more pissed off. His growls were intense, a smell filling the room he’d never smelled before. He ran out of the bedroom, shutting the door, twisting the lock as it swung shut. He braced it and ran to the phone.
                Thankfully, Shika was quick to answer. “Heyyyy Foxx.”
                “Something is wrong with your dad. Something is very wrong with him,” He turned as he heard Sesshomaru trying to get out of the room. It only took seconds to feel the electricity of magic in his home before Akiko ripped through space time with Shika at her side. They stared in horror at the feral sounds coming from the bedroom as Sess tried to get the door open.
                The portal remained open and Helaku was surprised to see InuYasha step through. He tilted his nose in the air, sniffing delicately and then looked at the three of them confused. “This is normal. Why don’t you recognize this?”
                “Normal?” Helaku squeaked.
                InuYasha’s frown deepened, looking to his niece and nephew. He’d spent only a few hours with them but he thought being Sesshomaru’s kids surely they had to know. They looked just as lost, he sighed. “Yeah, I’ve seen it several times.”
                “I’ve never seen the man with a hair out of place, so you’re going to have to explain a little more on why he looks like a wild animal right now,” Helaku gritted out, his anxiety spiking with the splintering of the door. It was a heavy door, but no match for Sesshomaru apparently.
                “How are you this old and you’ve never seen a heat?” Inu tipped his head, those ears twitching in confusion.
                “A heat? The fuck is that?” Helaku’s eyes widened, he was about to get through that door.
                InuYasha’s face flushed, he was not the person to have the talk with anyone. He let out a soft ‘keh’, rolling his eyes and folding his arms. His blushed deepened as all 3 young demons just stared hopelessly at him. “A Heat! He’s in a heat! C’mon!”
                “Uncle… we don’t know what that is. How do we help him?” Shika pleaded quietly.
                InuYasha’s mouth was dry and he scowled, his face almost matching his clothing. His ears laid flat in embarrassment before he smacked his lips softly, “It means he’s looking for a mate and that person better be able to keep up with him because it’s not over until the heat’s over. Sesshomaru is… formidable as a warrior, I’d hate to be whoever he’s about to bed.”
                Shika and Akiko’s gazes shifted to Helaku before Akiko grinned maliciously. Helaku glowered at her, Shika bursting into laughter. Tears streamed down his face as he doubled over and Akiko joined him in only a moment. InuYasha looked to them and then Helaku, piecing it all together. He had seen them in the forest but in the haze of everything he hadn’t stopped to consider the nature of their companionship.
                “Well… sucks to be you I guess,” InuYasha quipped. Shika thumped to the floor, his body writhing in pure amusement.
                “You are absolutely my favorite uncle!” Shika’s snickers started to slow down, the fear of Sess bursting through the door long gone from his mind. InuYasha looked at him, the thought of family foreign to him, making his ears twitch in anxiousness.
                InuYasha looked to the splintered door, an arm was out, wildly trying to break out of the objects bracing the door from the outside. “I’m leaving before he gets free.”
                InuYasha gave Helaku a once over and shook his head before retreating through the opened portal. Shika peeled himself from the floor and spluttered as he looked at Helaku again, ushering his sister back through as well between their giggles. The portal shut with the faraway sound of Shika’s voice coming through, “Good luck Foxx! Drink lots of electrolytes!”
                “Fuck off!” He yelled back, knowing it was too late. They were gone and he was left with Sesshomaru who was seconds away from breaking into the living room. He swallowed hard, he was not prepared for this. The look on Sesshomaru’s face had been pure desire and the way his fingers had gripped him, this wasn’t about to be the tender love he had come to know. He took a deep breath and peeled his shirt off, dropping it to the ground. He took a combat stance, prepared to go in for a tackle.
                The arm went back into the room and with one push he finally got the door open. His eyes were still clouded and he wasted no time padding across the floor. It wasn’t threatening as Helaku had imagined it would be, but he still stood ready to fight. “Helaku.”
                Helaku could smell him stronger now, it was affecting his head. The way his name came growled out in frustration. He launched, tackling Sesshomaru to the ground. “I don’t know what’s wrong with you but I’m not going easily!”
                Sess was fast, quickly flipping and pinning him down, he pulled Helaku’s arm to his lips, kissing the back of his hand and then up to his shoulder. Helaku watched him, he wouldn’t be tricked. He watched him suspiciously, he felt a smirk against his shoulder and then a bite. Hard and unforgiving, he yelped, trying to fight from under him but by the gods, he did not see the strength he possessed.
                The jaw clenched harder, he felt blood coming down his shoulder and winced. This was not his Sesshomaru, he tried desperately to push and then stopped when he heard the growl. The growl that made his toes curl now made him slightly scared. It was a warning. As he relaxed he found the jaw relaxed, tongue lapping tenderly at the bite wound.
                “Sesshomaru,” he pleaded softly. Those eyes looked to him, hooded and lustful. Helaku was strong, but he certainly didn’t feel strong right now.
                “Trust me,” Sesshomaru said it quietly, his teeth nipping against Helaku’s neck and jaw.
                “You hurt me,” Helaku said it coldly.
                Those eyes grazed to the wound on his shoulder, the finger bruises on his sides. Helaku saw the indifference, getting mad. The emperor’s eyes flicked to him as his felt angry and he suddenly felt fear. “Why do you fear me, little fox?”
                His lips returned, kissing along his throat, his teeth gently grazing the skin over his jugular. Helaku suddenly felt a jolt in his brain tell him just to hold still. Those teeth on his jugular were telling him to relent, surrender. It was like a voice in his mind, Sess smirked against his throat placing a very soft kiss.
                “Mm, so you understand?” Sess’s voice was sultry. Helaku swallowed thickly, nodding. He held still as Sesshomaru pulled his sweats off, discarding his own clothes. Helaku watched him, he could run while he was doing this. That scent got stronger and he couldn’t think straight. He grunted as Sesshomaru rested between his legs, the fight was gone from him and Sess’s whole demeaner had changed.
                “You want me to submit, that is what you want?” Helaku murmured.
                “Shush little fox,” He practically purred as his body rested against Helaku’s. His skin was feverish, lighting him on fire.
                “I’m not a little fox,” Helaku growled at him. Those eyes shifted again, challenging him to try him.
                “But you are. My precious little fox,” He was losing his patience, his body ached with need. It was so hot in his skin, his scent trying to lay claim to Helaku. Where had this come from? He hadn’t felt this way in centuries, not since… he shook his head trying to clear it but no matter what he did, all he could think about was Helaku.
                Sesshomaru sighed as the fight returned to Helaku. “You’re kind of a dick right now.”
                Sess shifted, his body lining up to Helaku. Helaku stared at him, eyes wide. “I’m not going to have control over this much longer, my precious fox. We can talk and it’s not going to go well or I can try and make this gentle while I’m still about some of my senses. You need to submit.”
                Helaku relaxed again, shutting his eyes and he felt nimble fingers gently press against his lips. He opened his mouth, sucking them as if his life depended on it. He knew how this went, he had, had plenty of last minute trysts where saliva was the best he had.
                Those fingers left, sliding down between his cheeks. “You owe me, like… I’m on top for like 3 months.”
                The chuckle that came from Sesshomaru was soft, and Helaku squeezed his eyes shut as he was stretched. He could feel the restraint now, how much Sesshomaru was holding back despite his behavior. He didn’t stretch him long however and Helaku winced as he pushed in, desperate for the contact.
                Sesshomaru growled and Helaku looked to him. He was trying hard and Helaku supposed he could admire that to an extent but it was hard to ignore it hurt. His hips moved slow at first but quickly built to relentless. Helaku found the pain brief, suddenly mewling and moaning under him. Sesshomaru leaned over him, running opened mouthed kisses over his chest, leaving a little trail of saliva on his body.
                Helaku clawed at Sesshomaru’s shoulders as he worked his lover hard. It was white hot, his skin was on fire and it was like the temperature climbed with each thrust. His body was sweating, he didn’t know what this was but it felt amazing. He felt like a puddle of lava under Sesshomaru and the pressure just kept building in his stomach. He was almost unhinged and Helaku was not terrified anymore, it was like his body understood his part in this.
                He felt Sesshomaru release, his hips out of control. Helaku knew he’d hurt when this was over but right now, dear Lucifer his body was begging for more. He panted as he looked at Sesshomaru, the man’s hips still going. He glanced down, seeing Helaku still not yet spent.
                He gently pulled out of him and then leaned up, licking and kissing his shoulders and neck. Helaku could feel him ramping back up already, he was awfully impressed. Sess hummed against him, little growls of affection coming from him.
                “Sesshomaru, I need—” He was cut off with a kiss. Rough and hungry. His hips ground against Helaku until suddenly he was ready for round 2. Helaku whimpered with need, his nails digging back into Sesshomaru’s shoulders as he plunged back into him.
                His thrusts were hard and desperate. Helaku arched his back, moaning loud and wantonly showing his body. This drove his lover wild, the hips moving at peak performance. Helaku felt his hand come between them, stroking him in time. He felt fire pool in his stomach before his body shuddered, releasing. He scratched down Sesshomaru’s back, he knew he’d drawn blood but the man hadn’t even noticed.
                Those hips drove into him a few more times before his lips came down to Helaku’s neck, biting him again, right in the sensitive spot between his neck and shoulder. He cried out, shocked and confused before a jolt took over his body. His skin pricked and his mind went wild for a moment and as if just knowing what to do he leaned and clamped down on Sesshomaru’s neck too.
                When the feeling subsided he relaxed down onto the floor. He was confused on what just happened, his mind reeling, body aching. Sesshomaru was tenderly licking the blood from his new wound. He gently pushed at him and this time his lover budged, looking at him with admiration. He licked blood from his swollen nips and gently felt his own shoulder. Helaku had not cleaned his handy work.
                Sesshomaru got up, all of his senses were still as if 1000 watts of electricity coursed through him. His skin sensitive and mind clear if only for the moment. He pulled Helaku to his feet, nuzzling against his neck, those clouded eyes still sick with lust.
                “How are you still rife with desire?” Helaku was still trying to regain his breath.
                “I do not control it, we would mate for days back, well… back in the days of me and InuYasha’s time,” Sess nipped gently at the mark he’d placed on Helaku. He knew the depth of that, and he wished his mind hadn’t been so lost. Mate marks, heats, powerful moves, magic swords; these were all things that were part of a long forgotten time.
                “I can’t do days, You will kill me,” Helaku breathed against his shoulder.
                “It’s important not to challenge me during this time,” Sesshomaru cupped his chin bringing his eyes to meet his own, the clouds gone for a moment.
                “I understand that now,” Helaku said it softly.
                “Males fight for dominance, it’s natural. It’s worse when it’s this, by the gods, what have I done,” he mumbled quietly looking at the bite he’d placed on Helaku for his submission.
                “Heh, twice, you ass. I got you though,” Helaku chuckled softly.
                “Mm, we will need to talk about the second one but I am not in the right mind to do so at present,” Sesshomaru moved closer to him, already ready to go again.
                “I can’t Sesshomaru, I don’t know if I can take you again,” Helaku whimpered slightly. He had been so rough. Helaku had loved it after a moment but to take him a third time would be too much.
                “Your hands then or I will lose control again,” Sess whispered against the shell of his ear making Helaku shudder. He lowered his hand, gently stroking his lover. Sess gave that delicious growl, no longer scary but just the right amount of power and possession.
                “So, just so I understand… you freaked out because I challenged you in the bedroom?” Helaku kissed Sesshomaru’s chin.
                “Yes, it just came over me. You were not allowed to take possession of me,” Sess moaned into his ear. Helaku was starting to think maybe he could take him one more time the way his breath came hot and heavy. His skin still felt like a flame, burning hot against Helaku’s.
                “My emperor, if only you could see yourself right now,” Helaku chuckled a little.
                “My little fox, my champion, I need you to stop talking now, please,” Sesshomaru let out a low moan.
                “I don’t like little fox,” Helaku replied indignantly.
                “Hmm, but you are indeed now mine, and you are a fox,” Sesshomaru’s chest heaved, the growl soft underneath it.
                Helaku’s whole body turned red at that. He focused on pleasuring Sesshomaru until yet another orgasm struck him. He had no idea how he was going to survive this.
