Chapter 8

Stuffed full of holiday goodness, they retired to the living room to watch a movie. Toga and Izayoi took the love seat. Inuyasha, with a glint of mischief in his eye, sat on the middle left seat of the four person couch, steering his mate to the far left seat. Kagome took her regular place beside him, leaving Sesshoumaru to the chaise seat on the far right. Both girls cuddled up to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru sent a glare to his brother. Meeting his eyes over Kagome’s head, Inuyasha mouthed silently, “Just wait.”

Not sure what was going on but giving his brother the benefit of the doubt, he turned his attention to the movie. A mere ten minutes later, Kagome started to get squirmy. She was clearly uncomfortable but kept repositioning herself. At Inuyasha’s wink, Sesshoumaru addressed her, “Kagome.”

From her place nestled into Inuyasha’s chest she said, “Hmm?”

“You are uncomfortable.”

Giving up her fruitless adjustments as she really didn’t like being on her left side, she sat up and looked at him, “I am.” ‘Maybe he’ll switch seats with me. I love the chaise seat!’

Placing his arm on around her shoulders he said, “Come here.”

Blushing to the tips of her toes, Kagome floundered, “Oh, um, really, that’s ok. I mean, you kinda have a this-Sesshoumaru-does-not-wish-to-be-touched kinda vibe so you really don’t have to do that just because of me.”

Applying gentle pressure with his hand, he said, “Kagome, this Sesshoumaru does not say things he does not mean and he does not repeat himself. You will lay here.”

Though she balked a little at his high handedness, she rationalized that he was trying to be nice in his own way so she leaned in to him, only to let out an involuntary moan at the electric pleasure she felt at the contact. Burning with embarrassment, she didn’t hear the catch in his breath or feel how his arm suddenly tightened around her. She devoted all of her energy to paying attention to the movie, never noticing how his aura came out to surround her until she was calm and limp as a slumbering kitten in his arms.

After the first movie Toga and his mate retired to bed. Inuyasha popped in another DVD and resumed his place as his mate’s pillow, giving his brother a fanged smirk when he saw how comfortable he and Kagome were.

Accepting help was not easy for the proud demon, but he readily acknowledged he would take any and all help offered if it would secure his one. He had never felt anything as pleasurable as just holding her in his arms and he knew he would never get enough of the sensation.

Halfway through the second movie, the light snores of the two females could be heard. The brothers exchanged glances and took that opportunity to strike up a private conversation in hushed tones. “You know if I had any doubt that she was meant for you, it would be gone now. You just don’t know—that girl has a serious thing about sleep because of that asshole that raised her. He used to sneak in her room when she was asleep. She can’t sleep unless she feels safe, which usually means buried under covers with a fan on for white noise and the bedroom door locked. It took her years to be able to sleep around me. Yet here she is, knowing you a few days and completely at ease, sleeping in your arms.”

“Hn, a circumstance for which I owe you my gratitude.”

“Keh!” he brushed it off. “I’m gonna head up. So are you gonna take her to her room or…”

“She will not be moved. This Sesshoumaru wishes her to rest undisturbed,” he said as his arm tightened about her.

With a short laugh he said, “Yeah. Thought so. Hey, just remember to keep it slow with her. I know you want her yesterday but she’s so damaged, you really can’t rush her. Be her friend first and get her comfortable around you then step it up. Trust me, I’ve seen too many of her relationships fail because the guy tried to push her and she wasn’t ready.”

“Hn. I will think on this. Thank you, brother.” As something occurred to him he asked, “Inuyasha?”

Turning back to his brother, holding the slumbering body of his mate bridal style in his arms he said, “Yeah?”

“Why is the miko uncomfortable on her left side?”

Sighing and looking down as he shook his head, he said, “Trust me, dude, you don’t wanna know.” Looking up to see the anger and determination in his brother’s eyes, however, he relented, “All right, but you won’t like it. The bastard hung her in the attic by her left ankle for nearly a week as a punishment for letting a boy from school hug her. She had damage to the ball and socket joint and tons of damage to the ligaments there. Of course he never took her to the hospital so it never healed right.” Watching gold fight with red, he added, “See? I told ya’ you didn’t wanna know. I’m going to bed, man. Keep our girl safe.”

‘This Sesshoumaru will always keep her safe.’

………………………

“Where the hell is she?!” the livid half demon screamed. Getting up from his bed of bed of pillows, he started pacing the dimly lit room. “Why isn’t your mirror working?” he bellowed to his little pet.

In a barely audible monotone, the small, white haired demon replied, “The fault lies not with the mirror. The girl is unreachable.”

Throwing his glass of vodka and soda into the fireplace where they caused the fire to hiss and spit as if affronted by the assault, he bellowed, “Unreachable? What the fuck does that mean? She’s traveled all over the planet and never been ‘unreachable’ before! Find her, you little bitch! Now!”

“Master, the girl is unreachable. She is being protected by a powerful force.”

Lighting a cigarette, he took a long drag, letting it out in a rush. “Protected? How?”

“It is unclear. When I try to access her location or her mind, I encounter a barrier and all I can see is white space.”

“Well, keep trying. And in the meantime, find your whore of a sister. I don’t know what’s going on, but I don’t want this happening again.”

………………….

As Toga and Izayoi made their way downstairs, they could see the lights on the 17 foot tall tree in the living room were still lit. As they walked into the living room, they saw something they had never dared hope to see: their distant, tightly controlled son was asleep with his face buried in his chosen’s mass of midnight curls, the two holding on to each other even in repose. Exchanging smiles, they turned to leave before Sesshoumaru’s head rose.

“Good morning, Father, Mother.”

Spinning around, Izayoi gasped. “What did you say?” Never in the over 500 years she had been mated to his father had he ever called her mother. Her mate had told her to expect a difference in the boy she had always tried to be a mother to but surely he did not call her what she thought she just heard. It was too much to hope for. Her mind had to be playing a trick on her.

“Good morning, Mother.”

Tears fell from her soft brown eyes and she reached for her mate. “Oh, Sesshoumaru, that’s the best Christmas present you could ever give me.” Wiping her eyes and composing herself she said, “I need to make breakfast. Kagome and Inuyasha will wake up when they smell the bacon. Oh, gods, I’m so happy!” She turned and hurried off to the kitchen, leaving her mate giving his son a proud smile.

True to her prediction, the bacon was barely in the pan when Inuyasha came barreling down the steps. Unable to resist, he whipped out his phone and took a picture of his best friend cuddled up to his brother. She’d kill him if he showed it to her today, but one day soon, she’d love him for it. “How long has your arm been asleep?” he quietly asked with a smirk.

With a smirk of his own, the daiyoukai said, “Hours. But it is worth it.”

“Mom’s making bacon. Kags will be up any time now.” With that, he scurried off into the kitchen to try to steal some of the delectable breakfast meat for himself.

No sooner had he walked away that Kagome took a deep breath and luxuriously stretched across the couch and his body. Her head nuzzled his chest and her hand fisted his shirt in the remnants of sleep before realizing what she was laying on was a good deal harder than her pillow. Opening her eyes, she experienced some disorientation before a clawed hand moved to her chin and nudged it up so she could look into the golden eyes of the demon she was resting on.

“Good morning,” the stirring baritone voice said quietly.

Her eyes lowering to the source of that lovely, rumbling voice, Kagome breathlessly replied, “Good morning.”

If any other female had looked at his lips like she was looking at his lips, he would have kissed her. Calming his stirring blood, he reminded himself of his brother’s advice to go slowly with her. “Did you sleep well?”

Displaying a thoughtful frown as her eyes focused inward, she replied, “I can’t remember the last time I slept that well. No nightmares or anything.” Something occurred to her and her cerulean orbs flew back to meet his golden ones. “Are you upset that I fell asleep on you?—I swear I didn’t mean to—You are just a lot more comfortable than you look—I mean…I dunno what I mean.” She let out a helpless little groan in frustration and embarrassment.

Rescuing her from her upset he said, “Kagome, please, calm yourself. This Sesshoumaru was comfortable and fell asleep as well. There is no need to worry. I am honored you felt safe enough to fall asleep with me.”

Smiling in relief but still one big blush, she pushed off from his chest and sat up. “I’m going to go freshen up before breakfast.”

As she headed upstairs, blood slowly flowed into his arm and he held back a wince as pins and needles filled the neglected appendage. Now that the scent of his chosen was not so close at hand, he was able to smell the delicious aroma of premium hickory-cured bacon unobscured and decided he ought to ensure his younger sibling didn’t have a chance to eat it all before it made it to the table.
