The days were passing slowly for Kagome. Her legs hurt and whenever they finally stopped for the night it was only a few quick seconds before sleep claimed her. She felt like she was the only one suffering right now. Even the small children were doing better than she was. “Little daddy! What’s your favorite food?” She heard Sairiu ask from atop the hanyou’s shoulders. She was playing with his flicking ears and chatting with the hanyou.
“I like salted grilled fish.” He answered.
“Wow so it’s still the same even here!?” Her twin who was walking beside them exclaimed. They’d taken to trying to get to know their dad when he was closer to their age.
“Creature of habit.” Sesshomaru hummed from in front of the group.
Kagome tried to ignore her aching feet. Wishing that she’d brought hiking shoes. She looked over at Arashi, their son. He still wasn’t speaking to Sesshomaru and was lagging behind with a frown on his face. Sesshomaru had tried to engage with him but he simply walked off into the woods and didn’t rejoin them for a few hours. “Are you okay?” She ended up asking. He looked so much like Inuyasha when he pouted that it slipped out.
He didn’t say anything and only looked at her at first. The rest of the group became quiet as they listened in. “Mind your business.” He glared. He didn’t want some random human talking to him. Is it cool that they were traveling with his dad when he was younger? Yes, very much so, but he was clearly in a bad mood so what made her think he wanted to talk about it. He wanted to be left the hell alone.
“Ugh…you’re just like Inuyasha.” She crossed her arms.
“And you’re an annoying bitch.” Arashi threw back. He didn’t feel like being compared to his dad right now on top of everything.
“Taisho Arashimaru. I will not warn you about your mouth.” Sesshomaru said coldly then turned to glare at the older Inuyasha.
“Whatever…” He huffed. The older Inuyasha was the furthest back in the group. His youngest daughter in his arms sleeping. He sighed knowing he’d be placed in the middle so long as the two weren’t on good terms.
The group walked in silence for a time because of the tense atmosphere. “We’ll stop a little early today, there is a lake nearby that would be a good stop.” Soon enough, they were at the clearing to the lake. Sesshomaru sat under a tree overlooking the water and the humans set up camp. The older Inuyasha stood in front of the water and began to strip, catching Sesshomaru’s attention. The older Inuyasha was taller, more built and had a body anyone would be envious of. In a word, he was attractive. What he hadn’t been expecting was the well-placed kick that landed him a few paces in the cold water. Sputtering and coming up for air quickly, he was greeted by his mate’s sadistic grin. “The start to my payback.” Sesshomaru smirked, before going back to where he was sitting.
“You’re literally the worst.” Inuyasha growled.
“I know.” Sesshomaru’s smile softened as Inuyasha turned from him and started swimming around, diving to catch fish.
Kagome plopped down when they finished setting up camp. “My legs are burning.” She took off her socks and shoes and went to the lake to cool them.
“Little daddy, little daddy! How old are you?” Sairin asked curiously.
“I don’t really know.” Inuyasha answered a bit sullenly. He had no way of keeping track, and it was definitely Sesshomaru’s fault. They began to complain about him not knowing, but his older self was already on land again making a makeshift net from the fibers of plants. “He’s 213…technically…Physically really, 163.”
The girls nodded in understanding, “So not that much older than Arashi-shi!”
“Yep, that’s true. I’m just a young little puppy here. So, we gotta keep him safe alright.” The older Inuyasha continued.
“I’ll protect little daddy!” Sairin announced with certainty.
The elder Inuyasha chuckled, “Yeah cause big bad dog’s like to rob the cradle, so we have to stand guard.” He felt his mate’s anger almost immediately.
“Protect from the big bad dog!” The girls announced happily, completely oblivious to him teasing their father. The younger Inuyasha blushed, completely certain that this was how he planned on teasing the older Sesshomaru. However, the joke was only lost on the children, and he felt embarrassed.
Inuyasha met his mates glare with a grin. He took his rope back towards the lake, thinking of how he could fuck with him some more. He truly loved the reactions he got from Sesshomaru the most. It was always hilarious no matter how long they’d been together. He smirked when the perfect idea came to him. “Hey Sesshomaru, come help me please! I wanna catch enough for everyone.” He knew his mate wouldn’t be able to resist bothering him in the water and he wanted to scare the man. It’d been so long since he’d pulled a prank like what he was going to do. He couldn’t do it too often, and the last time had been before Kiki was born.
Sesshomaru could feel how mischievous his mate was being and knew he was going to pull something when he got close to the water, so he stripped down where he stood before striding over. He could feel the human’s eyes on him, and he nearly growled in annoyance. Standing in front of his mate they jumped in. There was playful splashing as they maneuvered with the net slowly, so they didn’t frighten off the fish as they placed it. It was finally placed and Sesshomaru swam closer to his mate, kissing him gently, getting him to lower his guard before dunking him quickly. Inuyasha kicked, and came up sputtering. “You’re such an asshole!” He coughed as he’d taken in some water. “The net’s around my foot, give me a second.” Inuyasha dove down, realizing this was the perfect opportunity for his plan. He untangled the net from his foot before he took off in a random direction as quickly as he could, taking the net with him. His only obstacle was his connection with Sesshomaru, so he thought of things that frightened him. Thoughts that terrified him, the things he’d like to keep buried forever. Yes, he knew this was a very mean thing to do to his mate, but he just couldn’t help himself sometimes.
Back at where the group settled, Sesshomaru was getting a bit nervous. It shouldn’t take him so long to free himself, then he felt it. Inuyasha’s fear and horror. He felt his youkai immediately come at him demanding they help their pregnant mate. Inuyasha could have been dragged off by a youkai in the water but he couldn’t even sense him. “Inuyasha this isn’t funny!” He nearly shouted, startling their group. He dove down, searching for him, swimming around quickly, searching for his mate who was in danger. Sesshomaru felt his inner beast clawing at him, demanding that their mate be in their arms within the next few moments or all hell would break loose.
The humans and children came closer to the water. “Fucking dick.” They heard behind them. A sopping wet, older Inuyasha was standing there with a net full of fish. Sesshomaru was still painstakingly searching the water.
“Daddy this is a mean joke.” Sairiu scolded.
“Yeah, Papa’s scared right now. You shouldn’t do jokes like this.” Sairin chimed in.
“He could use some time with his emotions. It’s not like it’s the worst I’ve done.” Inuyasha grinned, but then frowned a bit at the memory.
“What’s the worse one…?” Miroku asked. Everyone else leaned in, curious about how Inuyasha messed with his mate.
“Kidnapped Arashi a little bit after he was born. Never did something like that again. He almost killed everyone in the west. And he destroyed a good portion of the castle. Little me, if you can remember this, please do not do that. He didn’t speak to me for like 5 months after that.” Inuyasha then walked over to the water, Sesshomaru surfaced, “Mate, I’m right here.”
Sesshomaru’s eyes zeroed in on him. He darted out of the water, his blood boiling with anger, but he embraced Inuyasha tightly. They stood there for a long time as Sesshomaru’s inner beast was certain their mate was well and unharmed. Eventually, Sesshomaru brought them down with Inuyasha in his lap as his beast checked him over again. “What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you feel the need to do things like this?” Sesshomaru whispered. However, Inuyasha could feel his red-hot emotions, it’d been a long time since Sesshomaru was this upset with him.
“I don’t know.” Inuyasha responded, returning his embrace.
“What if one day you’re truly in danger, and I think it’s another prank, and you die…don’t you know I couldn’t live with myself if something like that happened?” Sesshomaru continued. It wasn’t as if Inuyasha hadn’t thought of that. He did, and that was the reason he only did these types of jokes every couple of years, but he could see how even that could be too much. The humans couldn’t hear what was going on but the younger Inuyasha blushed intensively at Sesshomaru’s words. He couldn’t imagine the Sesshomaru of his time saying something like that. “What is it Inuyasha? Am I not giving you enough of my attention?” The older Inuyasha was now on his back with Sesshomaru hovering above him.
Inuyasha had a frown on his face now. He didn’t like what Sesshomaru was insinuating. “No.” It was funny while it lasted but now Sesshomaru was getting on his nerves.
“Then why do you continue to behave like a child who is being neglected.” Sesshomaru asked sternly. This time Inuyasha didn’t answer. He only looked at his mate with a blank and apathetic stare. It unnerved Sesshomaru a bit and cooled his anger.
“This isn’t fun anymore.” Inuyasha stated after a while, pushing Sesshomaru away and darting into the tallest tree he could see.
“Petulant.” Sesshomaru said through grit teeth. Sometimes it felt like he was raising 5 children, but Inuyasha tended to be a lot moodier when he was pregnant. After all, that was the last time he’d behaved like this. The pranks were few and far in between but the reaction to his scolding was off.
“Is he okay?” Miroku asked, watching the back of the older Inuyasha.
“He’s fine…just pregnant.” Sesshomaru stated without much thought. Inuyasha shot him a glare that would make any other burst into flames. The lord realized what he’d just revealed without much thought and everyone was looking at him with wide eyes.
The younger Inuyasha was looking at himself in shock. He was…pregnant?
After that, the group settled down and Inuyasha remained in the tree. Sesshomaru stood at the base of the tree looking up at his mate. He was sulking and feeling bored. There was also a bit of sadness mixed in, and Sesshomaru hated that he wouldn’t just speak to him about it. He wasn’t the only one who had to deal with his mates’ emotions, and it was only fair that they had conversations about it. “Mate.” He spoke calmly. Inuyasha turned to look at him. “Are you going to come down?” Inuyasha said nothing and resumed reclining on the tree. Sesshomaru sighed before jumping into the tree on the same branch his mate rested on.
“I’m sorry.” Inuyasha spoke softly. Sesshomaru nodded, acknowledging the apology. “I just want to sit here and look at the trees.” Inuyasha continued.
Sesshomaru sat next to him and wrapped an arm around his waist. “I’m sorry I yelled at you. However, I do not find pranks that threaten your safety, or our children’s safety, funny. My youkai doesn’t understand jokes Inuyasha. There is no way for me to overcome it when you or the children are at risk. Especially when you’re carrying. So please, no more of those.”
Inuyasha nodded, knew why the jokes upset his mate so much and he really didn’t have an answer for why he continued to do them. “Okay.” He leaned on Sesshomaru’s shoulder and sighed. They sat there for a while before Inuyasha spoke again, “Do you still love me?”
This caused Sesshomaru to snort a bit. It was a phrase he hadn’t heard in years. “Yes.” He believed it was borne from some lasting anxiety Inuyasha had when they initially mated, whenever they got into a gigantic argument Inuyasha would ask him this, as a way of saying he didn’t want to fight with the lord anymore. Sesshomaru tilted Inuyasha’s head and kissed him gently. “I always will.” He got a small smile from Inuyasha and felt some relief. He then looked out to the view Inuyasha had. Yes, he could see why his mate had been staring for so long. They both clearly missed the vast expanses of greenery.

A few days later, the mates walked hand in hand with their youngest daughter resting in Sesshomaru’s arm. Inuyasha could hear the older two asking their brother random questions before asking the younger version of himself the same thing. It was adorable how curious they were about him and he couldn’t help but smile. The humans had been quiet and looking worse for wear. However, he knew they’d stick it out to the end and leave when he killed the girl. They were already almost there. They would probably make it within a day or two. He could see Rin running around with his daughters and playing the same game. He was a bit worried, as Sairin didn’t know her own strength and he didn’t want the fragile girl to be hurt. As for his son, he was walking with the younger version of himself and watching them along with Shippo. All was well. The last time they made this trip it was without incident, so he expected the same.
“Daddy my feet hurt!” Sairiu whined as she came up to the older Inuyasha. He picked her up and she rested her head on his shoulder.
“Is that better?” He asked.
“Uh huh.” She confirmed. “Thank you.” He said nothing and pecked her on the forehead. He looked at her hair which was becoming quite tangled and matted with a sigh. There’d be a lot of tears when the servants fixed their hair. Sesshomaru confirmed that there were a few people in their family that had curly hair which is where the trait came from. He and Sesshomaru hadn’t known what to do with it so it was always left to the servants. From what he understood, their hair couldn’t even be brushed.
“You’re so polite.” Inuyasha smiled.
“A princess is always polite.” She said with a grin.
“But..?” Inuyasha said.
“But daddy’s princess can fight with her words and her fists!” She giggled in his arms.
“That’s right!” Inuyasha didn’t like how differently the people in the palace wanted to educate his daughters from Arashi. His daughters wouldn’t be pushovers who kept quiet because they were women. Oh no, his daughters would be warriors as much as he and Sesshomaru were. Their gender had nothing to do with their abilities. The only difference is that once they reached a certain age, they’d be able to learn magic. Which was part of the reason they didn’t have to train as hard as Arashi did. Although, he was sure Sairin wanted to be a sword wielding princess. So, she might end up with the same rigor. His daughters would truly be a force to be reckoned with.
Soon, Sairiu dozed off into a much-needed nap after quietly chatting with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. Sairin was walking with her brother and the younger Inuyasha, teaching Inuyasha how to play rock, paper, scissors. Sesshomaru couldn’t help the guilty feeling that surfaced in his chest. Inuyasha had never gotten an opportunity to be a kid, he regretted how angry he’d been with Inuyasha when they initially mated because he felt comfortable enough to start doing childish things, like the pranks. At one point the entire castle was complaining because of it, he remembers how upset Inuyasha had gotten because of his words. He wanted to play because he’d never been able to, which is why Sesshomaru was fine being pranked most of the time. Inuyasha was a very playful person and he hadn’t been ready for the switch that had happened when he no longer had to behave like an overly defensive adult. For the first time since he was young, he was safe, well fed, and free to act as he wished. He felt his mate squeeze his hand with a concerned look. “I am fine. Sorry for worrying you. Just thinking about somethings.” Like all of his regrets concerning his mate.
“Hehe! Little daddy won Arashi!” Sairin giggled along with Rin.
Inuyasha tilted his head, “What’s the point of this?”
“Nothing, it’s just a game.” Arashi shrugged. Inuyasha nodded his understanding. Kagome was surprised he didn’t already know that game. She assumed everyone knew that game because of how old it was. She looked at Sango and Miroku who showed no signs of being tired and wondered how everyone was doing so well aside from her. Even Rin was better off than she was.
“Arashi-shi! Let’s play the tree game!” Sairin suggested.
“Oh wow, I haven’t played that in forever, but I think little daddy would be too good at it.” Arashi explained, “He made up the game after all.”
“Oh right. I forgot.” Sairin nodded.
“And Rin wouldn’t be able to play either. We have to make sure everyone can play okay?”
“Okay aniki!” She nodded again. The younger Inuyasha had noticed the girls really watched Arashi closely, and he was a very nice older brother to them. Since coming into contact with them, he wondered what his life would have been like, had Sesshomaru taken him in.
The younger Inuyasha stretched his arms up before clasping his hand behind his head and listening to the sounds of nature and footsteps. He opened his eyes and looked up at the clouds. Their lives were so different than what he thought would happen when he got older. If he was honest, he didn’t really see himself living past 400. He’d call that a feat. He listened as the kids chattered on before looking at the entwined fingers of the older Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. Even with their arguments and the ups and down…their lives seemed so perfect…so happy. Could he really have that? He wondered what price he’d have to pay for that. He started to lag behind until he was at the end of the group where he eventually stopped and began to walk off.
“Inuyasha where are you going?” Kagome asked, noticing him leaving.
Her and her big mouth, he wanted to slip away quietly so he could go think. “None of your business.” He grumbled as he took to the trees and darted away. He could still sense them but now he felt freer to emote. He sighed heavily and put his head into his hands. “Do I really want that?” He thought to himself. “Can I really have that?” He wondered. He thought about the gentle kisses he’d seen the pair share when in the tree at the lake. He remembered the soft ‘I love you’s’ and Sesshomaru confirmation that he’d always love him. It made him blush fiercely. He wanted that…but not with his Sesshomaru. Inuyasha didn’t think he could handle being mated to his brother as he currently was. The older one, the more mature one…the one who already loved him…was more desirable. How long would it take before his Sesshomaru became that?
He could feel his youkai rumble unhappily at his thoughts. It wanted Sesshomaru without a doubt and saw no difference between older and younger. He could sense them getting further away and sniffed around. He just wanted to be alone for the most part, so he followed behind at this distance. When nightfall came, he was sitting in a tree and staring at the full moon. At least he wouldn’t have to worry about turning into a human anytime soon. Inuyasha dozed off in the tree, his youkai alert to his surroundings. He felt the branch dip down and opened his eyes to see Sesshomaru staring at him. He was shocked awake before realizing it was the older Sesshomaru and lowering his guard. “Is all well?”
“Yeah, I just wanted to be alone for a bit.” Inuyasha avoided the lord’s gaze. It made the lord’s youkai want to purr, it loved it when Inuyasha was submissive. Sesshomaru began to approach but was stopped before he got a chance to pull the young hanyou into his arms. “You’re…it’s hard for me to think when you’re around…” Inuyasha stated quickly, turning away from Sesshomaru, and inching away.
“I’m sorry?” Sesshomaru questioned. He couldn’t see the rosy red face of the hanyou and wondered at the statement. Inuyasha’s youkai always made him feel weird when the lord was near. Warm, itchy, and very needy. It was unsettling at times. “Inuyasha?” The young hanyou jumped at the feel of Sesshomaru’s large hand at his waist. “Have I done something to upset you?”
“No…” Inuyasha said softly. It wasn’t necessarily the truth nor was it a lie.
“Would you like to spare to take your mind off of it?” Sesshomaru suggested. Maybe letting off a bit of steam would help him relax and feel better.
“No.” He stated firmly. “I just want to…be by myself.”
“I apologize Inuyasha. We’ve stopped for the night; I’ll be there if you need me.” Sesshomaru stated before preparing to jump down.
“Why now?” The barely audible whisper came from behind the lord. Inuyasha pulled all of his limbs in, he didn’t know what it was, but he felt a part of him snap. He’d been holding on for a while now, his mind was confused, his body was confused, and too much had been changing too rapidly. “Why are you here now…?” Inuyasha whispered, feeling his eyes sting and feeling his anger build. Why was he going to cry? He didn’t want to cry! Crying got him no where when he was young except hurt and abused, so why did he feel like crying?
“I’m sorry Inuyasha.” The older Sesshomaru came closer to him. Kneeling down closer to Inuyasha.
“I don’t wanna hear that from you!” Inuyasha shouted suddenly. Eyes bright red with his youki, markings prominent on his face. He looked startled at the gentle look he was receiving from the lord.
“I know…” Sesshomaru stated quietly. Forcing the hanyou into his arms as he growled and struggled for freedom. Soon the fighting died down and he was calm in his embrace.
“I needed you then…not now” His quietly, gravelly yet broken voice rose from where his face was buried and his clawed hands gripped Sesshomaru’s clothes.
“I know Inuyasha.” He knew that. He’d always known that. And when he was young and stupid, he knew that the most. Inuyasha was his closest family member, and he’d pushed him aside. No matter how hard he’d tried, he just couldn’t forget he existed. He felt memories coming back of all the times he’d come across the pup, hurt, starved, but still alive…still struggling and fighting for his life. He’d find himself wishing that the pup would just give up, but he never did. Sesshomaru couldn’t bring himself to kill a child…and he felt even more reluctant when he saw how strong his younger sibling was becoming…he felt guilty. He felt like…if he could erase Inuyasha…then than guilt would disappear…so when he was older he would kill him. However, now that he was older, he realized, he would have regretted that for the rest of his days. To move through this world without Inuyasha just wasn’t an option anymore. He wasn’t much older than Kiki when he was on his own…and it hurt even more now than it did back then. How could he leave his own flesh and blood to the wilds of this world? He was truly, so very selfish.
“I really…needed you….” Inuyasha whimpered.
“I know.”
