I am so sorry for the long wait. This chapter fought me tooth and nail (as did our two favorite brothers). To be fair, neither of them are very talkative individuals, and they both suck at dealing with emotions but this chapter was a necessity! There were several tangents that they tried to take (including more threats they wanted to throw out there) but FINALLY I managed to get them where they were meant to go. It's not exactly how I pictured it, and I think a lot of stuff went missing along the way, but here you go. I'm not entirely happy with it, but I hope you enjoy it none the less.

The door seemed heavy as he pushed it open. Despite his latest insight, InuYasha was nervous; or perhaps it was because. Before today, he had something to fight. Before today, he had a clear enemy and a solid understanding of that demons views and motivations; of the things that were likely and those things that were down right impossible. Now, that illusion was broken and it gave him some level of hope. Unfortunately, with hope comes vulnerability, and being vulnerable was one thing InuYasha feared.

Before him sat Sesshomaru, appearing as untouchable as ever. He knew more than anyone this was an untruth physically considering he himself had damaged Sesshomaru quite heavily in the past. His heart may very well be a different story, and this alone caused InuYasha's heart to sink into the pit of his stomach as he looked upon the regal demon lord now.

A low lying table set between himself and his brother and although Sesshomaru was seated towards him, his face was turned to look to the side, seemingly looking off into the distance, though more likely lost in his own mind. InuYasha closed the door slowly, and it wasn't until it clicked shut that the demon lord before him showed him any attention, slowly tuning his gaze onto the hanyo before him. He moved his eyes down to the cushion in front of the empty table between them before looking back up at InuYasha, clearly requesting the boy to sit in that nonverbal way that annoyed InuYasha to no end. InuYasha sat anyway, trying to suppress his sigh, and the obvious eye twitch he got from suppressing what would otherwise be a very colorful verbal outburst.

Sesshomarus voice gave away nothing as he began to speak; "You came more quickly than I had anticipated."

"Yet, here you are, waiting for me?"

Slowly, Sesshomarus gaze moved up to meet InuYasha's own, eyes pregnant with something InuYasha could not put a finger on, but was unsettling none the less. "Yes" was his one word reply, resenting in that deep tone that could belong to no one else. There was a level of finality to it that gave room for neither argument nor further questioning. InuYasha found it odd, that for once it did not grate upon him instead finding a level of comfort in the reply.

InuYasha nodded as a reply before Sesshomaru turned his gaze away from the boy again, gazing off in seeming thought for a long moment. His jaw tightened slightly sending worry through InuYasha before deciding to speak "I... apologize for my behavior earlier today. I was upset, but it is wrong of me to except you to take this mating well." after these words were spoken, Sesshomaru slowly turned his gaze back to his brother, giving away nothing with his gaze.

InuYasha's eyebrows shot up into his hairline, clearly surprised by his brothers words. His own were tumbling out of his mouth before he had a chance to catch them. "You never apologize to anyone."

Sesshomaru was quiet a moment before speaking, "As a lord, you do not simply apologize to those bellow your stature."

"But..."

"As my mate, if I cannot admit my wrongdoing to you, I can admit it to no one."
InuYasha let out a sigh. "And what brought this on?"

" I received adequate council."

"And you listened?"

"I am talking to you now, am I not?"

"Yah, but I don't want some empty words from you."

Sesshomarue's eyes suddenly had a dangerous glint to them at those words. "Do not think me so frivolous InuYasha."

InuYasha stared at him for a long moment before speaking. "You have a point. I've never known you to play nice just to make things easy... Not when you could use force." with those words, his brothers eyes softened yet again. If InuYasha didn't know better, he would say the demon lord seemed to visibly relax some.

The words that were spoken next seemed to soften slightly, an almost hollow tired quality hidden behind the demon lords normal cadence; "Some things are impossible to gain by force."

InuYasha shifted on his cushion; a bit uncomfortable by what he perceived as vulnerability on the part of the demon lord. Vulnerability was so foreign to the way that he viewed his brother, that he had no idea what to do with it. Trying to escape his own uneasiness, the boy took to looking at his hands before speaking next; "Then what is it that you want."

"What I want does not matter as I am well aware that it is something no one could ever grant me, least of all you. I only wish to be here as you care for our young. I will do everything within my power to keep you here with us, and If I can see you look upon them in the way Rin had looked upon her own offspring, I will be content. "

InuYasha looked up at his brothers words "You'll be content... If I love them?"

"I do not wish them the pain that comes with the alternative." At this the demon lord looked away from his brother, seemingly uncomfortable with this admission.

"So... You're afraid I won't then?"

"I do not expect any pups of mine to be able to garner love freely InuYasha."

"For Kami's sake Sesshomaru, They'll be mine to! I'm sure you had a mother. Even if they turn out to be little brats, Why would I love them any less than she loved you."

At this, the DeYoki's facile expression went frigged as his voice took on a cold tone of hostile authority. "Do not assume so much InuYasha. It is no secret that my mother never held any affection for this Sesshomaru. As soon as it was socially acceptable to do so, she returned to her own palace leaving me in the care of my retainers."

At this confession, InuYasha was speechless. The idea that Sesshomaru could have wanted for anything in his childhood was a completely foreign idea to the hanyo, especially for one of the few things InuYasha himself had been graced with. He had always assumed that a mothers unconditional love was a given state, an unmoving force of nature much like his own drive to survive. At least that's what had always made sense to him considering that nothing else in life came to him without a fight. "I... I didn't know."

"Why would you?"

Again, not knowing what to do, the boy looked away.

"It is nothing to concern yourself with InuYasha."

InuYasha sighed, rubbing Sesshomaru's mark absently as he continued to stare off. "Actually it is, isn't it?" at this he looked to his brother. "You mated me." holding his gaze, he moved his collar out of the way, revealing the scar still sitting prominently upon his neck. "And from what Giigii said, this is permanent, not some one season thing or until you get tired of me, so I kinda have a right to know where the hell you're coming from. "

"hn." was the only reply the boy got; whether his brother was acquiescing or it was a dismissal, InuYasha was not sure but he decided not to dwell on it.

InuYasha folded his arms in front of his chest, his normal 'no bullshit' look plastered on his face. "I have something to tell you." InuYasha waited a moment before continuing. "I've decided to stick around, try to make this thing work, but I'm not gonna be the only one trying. I gotta admit, I'm not all that good at this shit, but I'm better than you are so you better damn listen sometimes. I don't want to be strangers, and I'm gonna be alive to damn long to spend it dancing around each other."

Sesshomaru slightly nodded at his brothers words. "You have a point little brother."

"Damn right I do... and one more thing," with this the boy crawled onto the table, raising his eyebrows in a dare. "You're going to be a father."
