Chapter 7

Do I have a choice? The words kept circling inside of his head as he ran thru the forest back to Kaede�s village. Not making choices was the problem. Had he really given his life much thought? The soft earth and leaves cushioned his strides making his mid morning run thru the falling autumn leaves of the ancient forest surreal. I have just been running to one fight after another with hardly any time to think. Have I really chosen who I want to be with before now or have I just been letting circumstances dictate where I am and who I�m with. �But if I�m so precious then why did he leave?� Feh, I knew it was too good to last. Why do I even care, I never let being alone bother me before.

Shrugging the painful thoughts aside he sprinted the rest of the way thru the forest breaking thru the last few sentinels of oak and pine to crest the bare hill above Kaede�s village. �I�ll give that cold bastard a piece of my mind when he gets here.�
�Inuyasha you�re finally back!� Shippo yelled before springing up from the bushes onto his shoulder. �Maybe you should lie low for awhile, Kagome seems upset about something.� The little fox demon whispered then paused sniffing at his hair. �Hey why do you smell like jasmine?�

�When isn�t she mad about something runt?� He plucked Shippo from his shoulder, ignoring the question, and setting him down on a fence he continued thru the village to Kaede�s hut before he could ask any more questions. Ducking thru the bamboo screen, he ignored the silence of the crowed little hut and sat at his accustomed spot by the entrance.

�Good of you to finally join us Inuyasha.� Miroku broke the silence and catching Inuyasha�s gaze, rolled his eyes toward Kagome.
He looked at the silently fuming girl. There�s something� She looked the same but not, did she always look so young and weak?

�You could at least explain why you were gone so long Inuyasha.� Kagome started tapping her fingers against her knee. �You�re the one who always complains about the rest of us holding you up.�

He frowned at the peevish tone of Kagome�s voice. She expects an accounting of my where abouts?! �There was something I needed to do and it didn�t concern humans.� The nerve of the human wench. His ear twitched, that last thought had sounded a lot like Sesshomaru�s cold voice.

Sango smothered a gasp and put an arm around Kagome.

�No need to be so cold and rude Inuyasha the girls were just worried about you.� Miroku smiled at Kagome and Sango.

�Feh.� He flattened his ears as he looked around the threadbare hut. He couldn�t put his finger on it, but something seemed off. He hadn�t notice it before but the human scents that filled the small hut made his nose itch, he missed the clean spicy scent of his mate. �I�ll be out side.� He grunted, and not giving them a chance to question him further he slipped out and headed for his tree perch.

�Get back here Inuyasha! I�m not done with you.� Kagome screeched from the entryway. �Sit!�
He stopped and braced himself to be slammed to the ground, anger boiling in his gut at being subjected to the whims of a human child again and again. His ears slowly straightened as his body stayed upright, the punishing spell not crushing him to the earth.

�Sit! Sit! Sit?� Kagome stumbled to a stop and backed up a step, as Inuyasha didn�t crumple to the dirt at her feet. �Why� How?�

He turned around with a smile on his lips. Sesshomaru, the name of his mate sang thru his blood as freedom straightened his shoulders. Looking down at the human girl as she sank to her knees in the dirt, he wondered how he�d ever let himself be coerced into helping her. Sure, he�d wanted the Jewel for himself but he could gather the fragments quicker without humans shadowing his every step. I already know where the last of the fragments are anyway. That mangy wolf has two, Kohaku has one and Naraku and Kagome�s jar hold the rest. Shrugging, he left her looking bewilderedly at her friends. Hopping onto the branch of his tree, he tried to make sense of the changes. Everything and everyone seemed different including himself.
�My lord!�

He smacked at the stinging speck that landed on his nose. �Myoga, I should have known you�d be along to plague me too.�
Myoga stumbled drunkenly on Inuyasha�s hand. �Hick, oh excuse me, my l-lerd.� Myoga�s small body fell as another hick-up knocked him from his feet. �You taste, er different my L-lord.�

�What are you blathering about now flea?� He rubbed at a slight tingling in his neck.

�Woo hoo! You�re simply intoxicating. I haven�t felt a blood rush like this since your father and that night in Edo�� Myoga laughed as he dangled from Inuyasha�s claws.

�Snap out of it or I�ll flick you out into the rice fields to sleep it off.� He found he was quickly loosing patience with everyone�s nonsense. Maybe I should have just stayed at the empty grotto.

�Ahem, of course my Lord, please forgive me.� Myoga tucked his hands into his sleeves as Inuyasha placed him on his shoulder. �Its just you taste like you�re�� Myoga laughed shaking his head, �but that would be impossible.�

He growled and decided to just ignore the senile old flea. He flexed his shoulders trying to relax but the tingling in his neck was starting to make his neck and shoulders ache.

***********

Sesshomaru glided down to the forest floor, transforming from a ball of green light as he entered Bokuseno�s clearing. Gold, red, and orange leaves of last years autumn swirled around his feet as he settled to the ground, their skittering dance the only noise in the heart of the forest as he walked toward the ancient tree.

�To what do I owe the honor of a second visit this year Lord Sesshomaru?� The old tree�s voice rumbled thru the small clearing before fading to leaf rustling echoes.

�I have questions ancient one.� He easily sprang up to settle upon a boulder near the tree. Sitting down he paused a moment to marshal his thoughts. �Is there a way for a male hanyou to bare young?�

�Hmm, half-breeds are born one sex or the other, that fact cannot be changed.�

He frowned as his image of their children crumbled further into dust. �Can the hanyou be changed into a full demon?�

�The Shikon jewel could do it, but the price would be horrific and with no guarantee the half-breed would be fertile or sane.�

He closed his eyes as the future of the Western Lands dissolved into dust. Without offspring, the land his ancestors had ruled for centuries would be hacked to pieces by feuding demons. My selfish desire for love has condemned our line to extinction. Sliding from the boulder he turned to leave his steps heavy.

�Lord Sesshomaru,� The tree paused as Sesshomaru faced him again. �If you don�t like the answers, maybe you should try asking a different question.�
Drops of green acid sputtered in the leaves at his feet as he flexed his claws. �Do not mock me old father.� Demon power lashed his hair as rage bled red into his vision.
A storm of autumn colored leaves erupted between them, swirling into a tornado of red and gold as their demon auras rent the air, �You focus on only one side of the problem, and you forget that nature is balance.� Bokuseno voice thundered across the clearing. �You forget yourself.�
He stood there stunned, his demon power faltering as leaves slowly fluttered down around him in a cascade of nature�s confetti. With his hands pressed against his stomach, he dared to let hope creep back into his heart as the idea flipped his world upside down. Would it be so disagreeable to me to submit to Inuyasha again? I was focused so completely on Inuyasha carrying our young I didn�t take into account the fact that my being a full blooded demon that I could change� To be the one to carry our children, the thought strangely eases a void in my soul. �Bokuseno sama,� he bowed, �Please, teach this hot-headed fool how to accomplish the change.�
�I can guide you thru the process but it would be best if you waited and came back with your mate or at least called for a few of your trusted guards.� Bokuseno�s face started to fade back into the bark.

He shook his head no. �Inuyasha may not understand the need for such a change and I trust no one else. You were my father�s most trusted advisor. Will you withhold your knowledge from his son?�

Clouds blocked the mid morning sun, throwing the small clearing into shadow as the tree�s face re-emerged. �The change demands a high price Lord Sesshomaru and you will be defenseless once started.�

He shrugged off the warning. �We are in the heart of the Western Lands Bokuseno and no demon would be foolish enough to challenge me.�

The old tree closed its eyes and sighed. �So be it. Come sit before me again Lord Sesshomaru and I will guide your mind in molding your demon power to make the necessary internal changes to your body.�

**********

Naraku walked the perimeter of the grotto. �It would seem the brothers split up once they left the area.� Strange that the feuding siblings would rendezvous in secret and from the age of the wards, it had been going on for quite some time. �Kohaku take the Saimyoushou and follow Inuyasha�s trail, once you find him keep watch and send the Saimyoushou back to me.�

�At once Lord Naraku.� He bowed and walking past his lord, he took the liberty and briefly kissed his cheek before springing up into the trees.

�Insolent whelp,� He growled. His lips curving into a smile as Kohaku�s laughter drifted down from the trees. Who would have thought a tiger was sleeping inside the human child. Once recovered from the shock of a piece of both his and Kanna�s demon power taking up residence in his body Kohaku had claimed them both with a fierce hunger. Turning, he pushed aside the memories of the mating between the three of them. He scanned the mid morning sky looking for Sesshomaru�s trail as only Inuyasha�s scent covered the ground. �Ah, there it is. Hmm, why head back to the West Sesshomaru?� He gathered his miasma and launched himself into the air following the faint trail.

************

Inuyasha grunted in pain as a muscle in his shoulder cramped up tightly. �Ah, crap what the hell did I do to my shoulder?� Even rubbing the offending shoulder didn�t ease the pain.

Myoga hopped up onto his Lord�s head as his fidgeting almost knocked him from his shoulder perch. �Were you in a battle before you got here my Lord?�

He paused, his ears flicking back as a blush heated his cheeks. �Um, you could call it a battle of sorts.� The rest of his body still ached in a delightful way. The memory of his mate thrusting deeply into him sent a shiver down his spine causing the pain to flair briefly.

�Here let me examine you my Lord.� Myoga hopped down to Inuyasha�s shoulder and started to peal the haori from his shoulder exposing the bottom of his neck where it joined his shoulder. �I�ll just pull this away��
He grew concerned as Myoga�s voice sputtered to a stop and choking sounds were all that he could hear from the flea demon. �What is it Myoga, what�s wrong?�
�Yo- you�re� MATED!�

�Oh that, well um�� He plucked Myoga from his shoulder and tugged the haori back up over the bite mark. �You see Sesshomaru was being an ass and one thing led to another��
�SESSHOMARU!� Myoga screeched.
�Feh, you don�t have to yell.� He shrugged. �What difference does it make who I mated?�

�But Sesshomaru�s so strong� and you�re alive.� Myoga trailed off mumbling to himself. �Stronger than we thought��

He shook the flea, �Snap out of it Myoga your not making sense again.� Why does everyone think I�m not strong or intelligent enough to make my own choices?
�Forgive me my Lord, its just we never though you�d be strong enough to survive the mating to so strong a demon.� Myoga trembled as Inuyasha growled deep in his chest.
�Grr� I�m tired of everyone branding me as weak! Just how many demons do I have to kill to shed the stigma of being a weak half-breed?� His fist flexed around Myoga�s body before he could rein in his temper, �And who is this �we� you mentioned.�

�Nn no one, it was just your father said you wouldn�t be strong enough to mate�� Myoga gulped as red rage bled into Inuyasha�s eyes a violet strip appearing on each cheek.

�When is everyone going to stop judging me by my father�s and his stupid old councilor�s words?� Cold rage twisted in his gut. Will I never be able to escape the shadow of those heartless bastards?
The quiet coldness of his Lord voice scared him more than all the explosive rages combined. �Forgive your unworthy servant my Lord Inuyasha, please.� Myoga trembled awaiting the final crushing squeeze.
Inuyasha look down at his fist as Myoga�s muffled plea reached thru the red mist of cold rage. So much raw power� It would be so easy to squeeze. He could feel his hand slowly tightening. His soul felt surrounded by ice, his demon power fed by the link from Sesshomaru. Wait, what am I doing? Is this how Sesshomaru�s power feels, it�s so cold. Inuyasha fought his youkai for control slamming closed the link and cutting off the flow of raw power. Panting, he opened his eyes as he slumped against the tree trunk, his fist opening to free Myoga.

Myoga watched stunned at being alive as the red faded from Inuyasha�s eyes along with faint violet marks slashing his cheeks reminding him of Sesshomaru�s marks. New respect blossomed in his heart as his Lord bent his amplified youkai power to his will by force alone instead of falling into an insane rage.

�Myoga you know what�s happening to me don�t you.� He shivered at the feel of the closed link, already feeling the ache of being cut off from his mate. I need to learn to control it first� crap I almost killed Myoga.

�I apologize my Lord, it�s my fault. I failed to prepare you for this situation.�

�Stop bowing and scrapping and enlighten me already.� He sighed relieved the old demon didn�t seem to be harmed.

Myoga hopped from Inuyasha�s palm to his shoulder. �Of course my Lord,� the old flea cleared his throat, �It�s like this, when two demons mate their powers combine filling in the gaps in each other.�

�I already know that much from Sesshomaru.� He interrupted. �Explain the link and how to control it.� He rubbed his shoulder against the bark of the tree as he shifted, the pain flaring up again to spread down his arm as he tried to get comfortable knowing he would have to endure one of Myoga�s long-winded lectures.
