Chapter 7 You're Him and He's You
All shades of the rainbow were focused on the two Inus who'd just arrived to work looking impeccably well-dressed in their expensive silk shirts, nicely tailored pressed pants and their hair brushed to its shiniest perfection. While only one was able to capture the room on his looks alone, with two, it was like watching a catwalk oozing sexual energy. Yes together these two could turn heads of both men and women without the slightest need to offer attention.
Koga was filing a couple of his case files when he glanced over to see his squad leader and member heading toward the Chief's office with a rigid move in each footstep. His expertly trained blue eyes were probably the only set in the department to notice the concealed limp from both brothers and a few other things that he was positive the others did notice. "Hey Starwind, you owe me fifty bucks!"InuTaisho eyed the classical swirling colors of brown and cream white in his coffee cup. He was an experienced study in measurable contemplation. His body was as motionless as a statue. The older demon seemed transfixed on the rising steam filtering out in slender slivers of smoke; which was well balanced with the perfect amount of sugar.
The liquidities floating about in this wonderful blue, white and gray designed cup was focused on by his slanted amber eyes like it was the most indefectible piece of art. Or perhaps it was the exhilarating aroma that eased into his nostrils, warming his nerves. Or maybe he was just simply enjoying the delicious cup of coffee for the caffeine rush he knew it'd bless him with for the extra kick he needed to get the day going. But neither Inuyasha nor Sesshomaru were fooled. Especially since the hanyou had already been in this predicament before. "Damn let it out already before you have a stroke." He said folding his arms. InuTaisho took a very very very deep breath, quickly shoved his cup to the side and dropped his head to his desk. The dog chief let out a roaring laugh loud enough to bounce off the walls. Each jerk of his shoulder blades only further agitated the pups as he wheezed, coughed, gagged and even choked on his dry oxygen. Inuyasha was subconsciously hoping the old fool did have a stroke. The laugh continued on interrupted until he slowed down a little. Finally they thought that there was a chance they'd get to discuss the case. Fat chance. When Taisho lifted his head to look at their angry faces and the laugh fest restarted. Taisho jumped up out of his chair and used the wall near the window to support his weight as he buried his face in his arm. After what seemed like hours of his father's senseless merriment, Sesshomaru growled, "Alright Father enough. I'd much rather we discuss this case than listen to you laugh at our expense." "Oh my sons," Taisho lifted his head to look at the multiple bruises, Inuyasha's swollen black eye, Sesshomaru's bloating cheek, and the various knots decorating their heads and arms. "I never…never expected...this to happen." Inuyasha shot a sideways glare at his brother than turned back to his father. "Anyway old man!" He sneer breaking through the sparks of chuckles. "Do you think we can get back to more important things? Like what we're supposed to do with the girl?" "Of course yes, yes." InuTaisho returned to his desk and blew out the rest of his chortling to gain strength to look up at his son's faces. "So, um, you two are now undercover as…as lovers?" He coughed away another laugh. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. "It's not as if we, or rather Inuyasha, intended for this to happen. The fool just wasn't thinking clearly which doesn't come as a surprise to me." "Hey back off alright? I had a hell of night last night dodging bullets and dealing with that raggedy clunker polluting the ozone! And on top of that I've had to deal with that crazy human's attitude until she believed I was you!" "Which we need to rectify now Father. I think I will be able to obtain by real identity without the girl becoming nervous." "Are you nuts? We can't do that." Inuyasha shook his head at his father. "The human is already traumatized as it is from being shot at more than once. She's barely been able to trust me. If she finds out we've been lying she's likely to leave without giving us the information we need." Taisho nodded. "Inuyasha has a point Sesshomaru. We can't risk our only witness being confused to the point of breaking down. Since this is all she knows we'll just have to settle with how it is for now." "Have you gone mad?" Sesshomaru nearly shouted standing up from his chair. "I will not have some—" "Sit down Sesshomaru." Came the icy demand of his father. The dog demon bit his lip staring daringly at his father for a long time before he did as he was told. "Now as much as I know you two hate this situation, it's all we'll have to go by until something unexpected happens. So for now Inuyasha I want you to move in with your brother until this case is solved." "Hold the fuck on!" This time Inuyasha shot up from his chair. "I'm not living with this stupid—" "Sit down Inuyasha." The hanyou bit down on his lip and quickly retook his seat. " I know the thought of working together was bad enough but take this as being a part of the job as well. So, Inuyasha," he turned to his youngest son with a stern tone in his voice. "This girl is the only bit of good news we've got so far. So that means if you have to be Sesshomaru, Koga, Santa Claus, Lady Gaga I don't give a damn. That's who you're gonna be!" "And Sesshomaru," Now he faced his first born. "The faster you guys can get this girl to ID the shooters, the sooner this case will be over. So until than you are Inuyasha and Inuyasha you're Sesshomaru." When Inuyasha began to protest he slammed his hand flat on the desk to cease any further argument. "I care what you say from here on out. You be him. I don't want to hear it. You're him and that's final." Inuyasha slapped his thighs angrily. "So what am I supposed to do about Hiei?" "Who?" "His other mix breed friend." Sesshomaru explained. "Oh. Well I'm sorry for your friend Inuyasha but I'm sure he'll be fine on his own—" "I'm not leaving my best friend alone! I made him a promise that we'd never leave each other alone no matter what! Now you either get someone to stay with him until the case is over or I swear I'll hand you my badge now and fuck the case altogether!" Inuyasha pulled out his badge looking pointedly at the chief daring him to try and call his bluff. To say that both demons were surprised at their relative's outburst would be an understatement. Taisho had been talked back to plenty of times by the boy he'd never known him to have such a caring heart for others besides himself. Sesshomaru was mildly impressed with his brother's determination to defile their father. He knew his father wouldn't allow Inuyasha to leave the force and the hanyou knew this fact too. But he was actually willing to leave his career over the sake of an Imiko born demon. It seems friendship and loyalty were key aspects of his younger brother that he'd gained over time as he grew up. Taisho sighed shaking his head. Why was it that every time he dealt with either of his sons it sapped every drop of energy he had in store for the day? "Very well Inuyasha, the deal will be that you continue to work undercover with your brother until the case is solved and I'll have someone to stay at home with Hiei until you return." Inuyasha smirked. "Fine." He talked tough but inside his heart was trying to burst through his toes. He'd never ever done that before. Talking back to his Father about threatening to hand over his hard earned badge? Whew that was definitely going to be the last time he did that. "So who will you have to stay with him?" "I'll see what I can do for him but one important thing you need to know is that your friend cannot know about this case. So when you go to see him next time, you'll need to make up some excuse." "No can do old man. Hiei is an expert at reading people's emotions. He'll know I'm about to lie before I can think one up." "Alright maybe you can sugarcoat what you're doing but don't go into too many details." Inuyasha thought it over for a moment before nodding his agreement. "Alright that could work. So, who will you have to stay with him?" Taisho shifted through the stakes of paperwork on his desk to see which officer would be considered worthy protection for his son's only friend. Most of them were already on assignments or out handling other issues. This friend of his seemed to be very important to his son so he didn't want to just send any ole' body. But who could he pick… He looked around the office for some inspiration. Who could he pick? Who? Then he looked up and saw one of his most trusted and reliable officers walking over to his desk flipping through a case file. Hmm he was very strong, a hard worker, a skilled fighter, well-trained in the art of gunfire…He knew just who he wanted to pick."Are you cracked? I'm not staying with him!"
"But it'll only be for a while Hiei. Just until I come back I promise." "Back from where?" "I told you I can't say. It's classified—" "Classified my ass!" Hiei stomped over to the dining room table shooting daggers at the officer that he was supposed to be shacking up with until his roommate came back from 'Nowhere Land'. "Listen Hanyou, I don't appreciate you sending a stranger to stay with me in our home. You know how I am with strangers. Hell I barely get along with you." Inuyasha sat with him at the dining table smiling sadly. He knew the real reason Hiei didn't want him to leave was because of his terrible past. Long ago his family had threw him out as a very small child and he had to live out on the streets most of his life. When they'd met it was during middle school when Inuyasha found him picking out leftovers in a garbage can. Since then he'd taken care of his friend by bringing him home and letting him sleep in his bed at night. Hiei had come to only trust Inuyasha in his whole life and wouldn't dare allow anyone else to be near him. "I promise I won't be long Hiei. It'll just be for a few days." "Then why can't I just stay here by myself if you'll only be gone for a short period?" "Because it'll make me feel better knowing I left you with some protection." Hiei snorted. "Hn, it's not as if I'm some weakling Hanyou. I'm more than capable of handling myself just fine." "I know that. But I just want to make sure you're safe that's all." Inuyasha grabbed the Imiko's hand giving it a pleading squeeze. "Hiei. You're the only friend I got. Just…humor me a little bit and let him stay here with you? Please?" He hissed out the last word since he was rarely one to beg for anything. And Hiei knew this. It's always been hard for his friend to ask people for anything and he knew it was taking a lot of control for him to ask him to indulge this ridiculous request. So he snatched his hand away grinding his teeth. "Fine the fool stays. But does it have to be him?" Inuyasha's relief was evident in the bright smile he granted his friend. "Yea it's gotta be him. The guy's been on the force for a while and he's really good for protection." On cue that's when the object of their conversation entered with a pep in his step. "Hey guys you hungry? I was about to cook something to eat." Hiei frowned. "What did you plan on cooking with? The last time I checked, this was my home and my food." Koga looked up to the heavens feeling so grateful he was being assigned to watch this little firecracker. "I know but I just thought that I'd cook ya something to relax ya." "The only thing that will probably relax me is you getting out of my place." "No can do kid. I'm assigned to keep an eye on ya until Toshiba returns. But don't worry. I think we'll have some fun here together." He winked playfully. "Touch me and I swear I'll break every bone in your body." "Ohhh you're so dark." Koga mocked a fake shiver and disappeared into the kitchen. Hiei turned blazing red eyes at his friend. "I will kill him." He warned. "I know." Inuyasha knew his friend rarely joked but that sounded a little funny. But he still planned to warn Koga before the guy bit off more than he could chew. He went into the kitchen to find the wolf demon humming to himself as he pulled out different ingredients to make whatever he felt would coax the fire demon to liking him. "So what cha cooking?" Asked the curious hanyou. "Just something quick and easy." Koga sung merrily picking out some seasons and pans. "Quick and easy huh?" Hmm interesting. "Kinda like how you expect to see my friend huh?" Koga caught on to the protective glint in the rookie's voice and immediately became defensive. "Listen kid, I'm not going to do anything that harms your friend. I'm on assignment. It's against regulations to get involved on the job unless it's necessary." "And what do you call cooking for Hiei?" Keh, answer that one jerk. "I call it a tactical way of getting on his good side so I won't have to worry about my balls being cut off." Smart comeback. From the first time he met Koga Wolfe he's come to like the older demon. He was a strong willed kind of guy and pretty cool when he wanted to be. His playful personality could be turned from light hearted to cold blooded in mere seconds. This information, he gathered from what Starwind told him when they left the station. If Inuyasha could've picked anyone to watch over his friend Koga would be the perfect guy for him. Even if he did deny his crush on the fire demon. "Well if you want to get on his good side, make it extra spicy. He enjoys his meals really hot." Koga snickered. "Like his attitude?" "Yea. And one more thing," Inuyasha slapped a hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear. "He's a virgin." He grinned at the light blush covering the wolf's tan cheeks. "Why would you tell me that?" He wondered. Inuyasha shrugged walking out the kitchen. "Just in case you wanna go past regulations and see Hiei for more than what he is." He went to say his temporary good byes to his friend and left the apartment leaving the two demons alone. Koga left out of the kitchen to let his food sizzle for a minute and sat next to the face plastered demon on the table. "Hey you alright kid?" One red eye peered up at the wolf before tucking back in his folded arms. Koga used to be well known for his impatience as a first time rookie long ago. But experience on the streets taught him lessons in getting what you wanted when you allowed it to come to ya. Secretly he wanted to try that with this boy. "Ya know it won't be so bad. We can…umm…try to do something that interests you." "I'm not interested in doing anything with you." Came the muffled reply through those skinny arms. "Well do you have any hobbies? Likes or dislikes? Or anything that makes you laugh?" A new response was given as this time both ruby eyes surfaced from his folded arms. "Why do you care? Do you wanna know so you can work your way into my pants Pervert?" He growled shooting up from the table. The fire demon hopped up on the window sill as was his usual placement when Inuyasha wasn't home. "No." Koga stood up as well going to join him by the window, choosing to stand by his feet. "I just wanted to get to know ya a little bit so we can make our time together easier to deal with." He tapped the tip of his foot playfully and decided to try a different approach. "Let's make a deal, I'll let you kick my ass as much as you wish if you play a game of cards with me." "Tsh, what manner of fool do you take me for? I'm not about to play some childish activity with you." "Why because you're chicken? Or no maybe it's because your pretty face looks like a woman than that must mean," He scooted closer until there was a three inch distance between their noses. "you must play like one." Hiei's lips tilted a fraction of an inch on the side of his mouth. Koga noticed that sexy smile instantly. "Fine I'll play your mediocre game but let's raise the wager." "Ok?" Hiei lend in closer. "If I win I get to slice off your dick and feed it to you on a spoon filled with hot sauce." His smiled was small but held the warmth of his element. Koga didn't flinch from what most men would consider a deadly threat to their manhood. Instead of being intimidated, he was a little enticed by the sassy firecracker. His body scooted closer. "You're on. But if I win, I get to have one little kiss." "Ha, I knew you were nothing but some depraved pervert." "No kid, if I wanted to take you, I would've had you. But I'm not that type of guy." "How do I know that?" Koga's face was now a breath's way from touching lips. "You're just going to have to trust me." Hiei swallowed shifting his eyes. "I don't trust anyone." Koga turned his face to make him face him head on. "You can trust me." He gave the little spark a soft kiss to his forehead and expressed a tender smile. "I promise you can trust me Hiei. I won't hurt you." The sentence spoken in a two way meaning which Hiei was smart enough to catch. His reluctance to answer gave Koga hope that maybe he'd consider it since he was always quick to answer with a quick negative response. "Let's just play and you'll see that I'm a man of my word." "Hn," Hiei cautiously watched the glittering twinkle of mischief and something else dance around in the wolf's pale blue eyes that he couldn't place. Could he trust this moron the same way he trusted Inuyasha? When the wolf smiled again, he shrugged. What the hell. It couldn't hurt to play with the man. Besides if he did decide to go ape he could set his balls ablaze…with fire of course."Mmm…"
"Do you like that my love?" "You know I do baby…" "That makes me so very happy." "How's about you?" "Mmm you have magic fingers." "Hn, I know I do." Kagome sighed at the lovely sight of her two roommates massaging each other's feet on the couch opposite each other. Sesshomaru had Inuyasha's feet in his lap and Inuyasha had Sesshomaru's. It was so sweet. "You guys are so cute together." She remarked cheerfully. Oh…god Inuyasha was so close to puking his guts out. Geez Sesshomaru wasn't kidding when he said they were going to need to lay it on thick. But damn did he mean thick to the point of suffocation? They did every public display of affectionate thing under the book since they came home. They played winking games, blew discreet kisses at one another and Inuyasha was bold enough to slap Sesshomaru's ass in front of Kagome. This was truly the worst type of case for a first time rookie to act on. Suddenly the heel of his foot was pressed in too firmly signaling Sesshomaru was trying to get his attention. "Darling don't you think it's time Kagome had a chance to look through those mug shots like we talked about earlier?" Huh? When they did they discuss that? Sesshomaru poked a claw in his heel sending a bodily message to play along. "Oh yea I almost forgot." He laughed smacking his forehead. "Hey Kagome I need ya to look through a few mug shots to help ID those shooters at the hotel." "Ok but can we wait on doing that first?" "Why?" "Well I'm still…uncomfortable about the shooting and I need time to get my mind clear." Sesshomaru drifted over to his false mate to pretend he was whisper something sweet in his ear when he was actually saying, "Get the girl to look through those pictures Hanyou. We need to get this solved before another body is found in a hotel." He said dryly. Inuyasha pushed himself closer to intertwine their legs together as he lend in and answered, "Don't you think I'm trying? I can't force the girl to do it. She's still in recovery mode." "We don't have time for her dribbling whimpers hanyou." His hand slide down his brother's arm. "Try coaxing her into doing it again." The hand squeezed his arm not leaving room for debate. "Fine. Stupid asshole." Inuyasha pulled their legs free and shot up from the couch to sit next to the human girl. "Kagome, I know you're still feeling nervous from the shooting but think about it. The faster you can tell me who was at the hotel that night the sooner we can find Sango's murderers." And the sooner he'll be able to stop this freaky romance fest with his brother. If he blew another flirtatious wink or lovey dovy smooch he was gonna gag. "Sesshomaru, if you could give me another day, I think I'll be able to calm enough to look through the pictures." Another day? Oh god that meant another day of playing house with Sesshomaru. Ugh this sucked. "Alright. But only one more day. The longer we wait the more time it gives the bad guys to get away." "Ok I promise." Kagome got up from her spy spot and went down the hall. She need some time to replay over everything that's happened to her in the past 48 hours. One minute she was happily talking and joking with her adoptive sister and now she was sitting in an officer's home under protective custody from those thugs who plan to have her dead on sight. There was just far too much to take in all at once. Maybe what she needed was a nap. The girl went into the guest bedroom where Inuyasha offered her to sleep in and fell face first on her pillow. The cool surface felt wonderful against her face as she snuggled in deeper. Her brown eyes blinked at the unfamiliar room wishing that she was back at home with her sister and mother. She missed Sango and her Madam so very much. They'd been three peas in a pod. That is until Madam was suddenly killed without her knowledge and now Sango meant with the same faint. Almost seemed like they were all destined for the same method of death at dying so young. Little stings of water prickled the back of her eyes as she recalled all of the fun times they'd had together. Every moment was a treasured pause in time for them to cherish forever. Beside her was a the small luggage bag she packed from her apartment where she packed as much of her belongings in as she could. One item being the most special of all. A medium sized photo of herself, Sango and her Madam dressed in their best sun dresses in a park on a bright sunny day. They were out getting ice cream together when some random guy asked if he could take their picture. Madam agreed and here was the end resort in Kagome's hands fitted perfecting in a gold trimmed frame. "Oh Madam, Sango." She kissed the picture and hugged it to her chest feeling tears slide down her rosy cheeks. "I miss you both so much." She whispered. It was moments like this since Sango's death that she felt so alone…So very alone. "Don't worry Sango. I'll find out who did this to do. I promise."Inuyasha yawned stretching his exhausted limps and pulled off his t-shirt. Today has been an extremely trying one for him. Now all he wanted was to grab a nice shower and a cozy nap under those crisp sheets.
"What do you think you're doing?" Sesshomaru asked watching the hanyou undress in his bedroom. "I'm getting ready for a shower duh." His jeans were unbuckled, dropping to the floor. "What you got a problem with that?" Sesshomaru's nose crinkled at the sight of the hanyou's half nude body. "I do when my shower stall is about to be defiled by your scent." "Keh, too bad." Next went the boxers until he stood bravely in his full peach kissed fleshed body without a single care. "I ain't walking around with the smell of you clinging to me all night. So deal with it." He grabbed a towel from the drawer and stuck his tongue out before walking into the bathroom. Sesshomaru fell back on his bed rubbing the tired dryness from his eyes. He couldn't believe the ridiculousness of this case. Never had he had to go undercover as a male lover in his entire career. And to add injury to insult, he had to be disguised as the loving husband with his rookie hanyou brother who hated him to no end. Inuyasha hated him…despised him actually. Why, he had no idea. The boy's hostility toward his has lasted since he was a child. They weren't always this nasty toward each other but he couldn't remember the reason why they'd grown apart, when they used to be so close. Not that he bothered to care what the half-blood felt of course. It just seemed odd for their sudden change in behavior to switch from loving and caring to pure hatred and anger. There was only a small piece of evidence hidden deep in his night stand he kept secretly. It was a small memory showed their happiness at one point in time. Looking over at his drawers, he debated about pulling it out like he would around this time of night just to stare at it. No one, not even Kagura, knew of the photo he kept sacred to his cold unfeeling heart. When she had died he'd become more dependent on looking at the picture at night as a way to comfort him in his time of loneliness. What the hell. Why not? Sesshomaru sat up and opened the drawer to pull out a fading picture that'd seen better days. It was a couple of centuries old but it managed to stay intact of its brilliant color to capture that entertaining day. The beautiful adoring steeled moment of him kissing his baby brother's cheek on his birthday. He'd given the boy a locket for his birthday as a way to always keep him near whenever he wasn't around. But that was so long ago and the big rift in time of their bitterness toward each other had grown tremendously. He fingered along the side where Inuyasha's baby soft cheeks were in the photo… There was no telling where that locket was now. Knowing Inuyasha he probably threw it away…not wanting to remember the days they once shared…Looking up in the fog infested mirror, Inuyasha lifted the small blemished locket from around his neck and kissed the center piece like Sesshomaru did the day of his birthday eons ago. His claws worked the side latch and pried it open to see the tiny photo of his brother kissing him on the cheek.
A small smile played on his lips at the fun memory. That was before all of the animosity that evolved over time. He still remembers the day it all started to change between them. It was that very day Sesshomaru had changed when he came home… He closed the locket. Who gives a flipping hell anymore? Sesshomaru hates him and he hates Sesshomaru. So that's that. Besides the stupid jerk probably doesn't even remember how they used to be together. All he can focus on is the fact he's a hanyou. Nothing was ever going to change between them. Not ever. All he needed to focus on was getting this case solved. And the sooner they did… the better. TBC: So what do you think? Is the relationship flow moving along smoothly? Or too fast? I want it to be an easy development into a relationship between them. Can't rush right away to sex right? It just wouldn't work. ^_^ Stay tuned.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
