Chapter 9
When Sesshomaru returned.
Date: 1563
Sesshomaru only loved two people in his life. It took him three years to contemplate it while he roamed the quiet halls of his castle in Castletown.   Jaken had thought he was mourning Rin. He was—initially. But she had been aging and slowly dying for years.   The night Sesshomaru had taken her home the last time to their cabin in the woods, he had smelled death.   He looked at Rin and realized that she had aged. He mourned her as any good spouse should. But she had left him with a thought. She told him that he should mate Inuyasha.

After some time alone in his quiet castle he realized he missed his little brother. Jaken reminded him at regular intervals that Rin had told him to be with Inuyasha when she was gone. Sesshomaru looked around the castle. There were dog demon things everywhere.   It suddenly dawned on him.   Inuyasha should be there with him. So, he returned to Edo only to find out that Kagome had died and inuyasha was all alone, crying in a tree.    The great demon landed gracefully on the tree and softly called,“Inuyasha.”

When the swollen, tear filled eyes looked up at him he reached and pulled his brother into his breast, cradled near his heart.   The hanyou cried even more. But after the smell of salty tears died away all they both smelled was the scent of “home”.

Sesshomaru did not know much about love. Rin was the first being in his 900 years of life that he had loved. But the smell of his brother, the warmth of his touch, Sesshomaru realized that he had found a second love. Rin had encouraged him to look at his brother that way.   He did not say anything about it to Inuyasha though.   It would not be appreciated. Imagine. He was the older brother who hated his younger brother for his first 200 years of life. The same demon who started to get to know him for 70 years or so. The brother who deserted him again for three years without word if he was alive and well. A brother who was absent and did not help him through what happened to be the hardest time in his life. This was the brother who now returned claiming to love him.—Crazy!

He could start by asking Inuyasha to come home to Castletown. That would get him closer. Then he could court the hanyou properly.

But when he asked Inuyasha to return to Castletown, Inuyasha told Sesshomaru he had promised Miroku he would watch over his grandchildren until they could take care of themselves.

So Sesshomaru had to visit the human town to see his half human brother.

During his visits some of the things they did included hunting, practiced sparring, and watched the clouds.   On one lazy afternoon, Inuyasha asked Sesshomaru what he did on these lazy dog days.   ‘’I go for a run,” Sesshomaru replied.

“Sounds like fun. Let’s do it!” Inuyasha jumped up from their lounging positions on the ground.

“Brother, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep up,” Sesshomaru shrugged.

“It’s on! You smug, dog you!” Inuyasha growled. His anger mounting.

“Very well. But don’t say I didn’t tell you.” Sesshomaru almost looked sad.

And quick as a wink Sesshomaru morphed into his large dog size and ran off.

Inuyasha’s mouth dropped open and he stared. Within seconds though, he ran after the great white beast. He stopped running when he lost sight of the animal. Panting and thirsty he sniffed for the nearest water. Fortunately a river was within easy reach. The river was shallow on the edges with a deep area in the bend.   Inuyasha shed his clothes and waded into the shallow. The water was fresh and cool. He leaned over to get a drink and then sat in the shallows.   The water felt refreshing so he lay down in it. He floated a bit and stared at the clouds.

That one looked like a rabbit. Inuyasha watched it cross the sky in a slow lazy pace.

The next cloud looked like a fox. The cloud blew apart and it became a teacup and a saucer.

Inuyasha shielded his eyes.

‘Hey that cloud was getting bigger.’

‘And bigger.’

‘And bigger.’

                                                                                ****SPLASH****

Sesshomaru had flown back searching for Inuyasha.   It was not his intention to get so far ahead of his brother especially since he was trying to woo him.   So when he turned and saw that he was on his own he stopped and flew back searching for a white head of hair on a red set of clothes. He got almost back to the village still having failed to see the inuhanyou so he circled again.   Perhaps his brother had been injured. Sesshomaru began to worry that he made a bigger mistake than ever by racing ahead so far.

He tried to smell his brother but had no luck. So he flew around in the sky tracing the path he had run.

As he passed the river bend he noticed there was a male figure floating in the shallows. Curious if that was his brother or some human, Sesshomaru dropped a bit lower.   It was still not clear who the body belonged to so Sesshomaru dropped once again. The male figure was shielding his eyes from the sun so Sesshomaru dropped another time to see who the figure was.   It was on this time that he realized it was a NAKED Inuyasha—a very sexually appealing and well equipped —-

                                                                                                ***SPLASH***

Distracted Sesshomaru completely lost his bearings and fell in the deep part of the river! The water rose and hit the hanyou immersing him completely.

Sesshomaru jumped out of the water and shook from his nose to his tail instantly.   The subsequent spray of water hit Inuyasha just as he stood up to give Sesshomaru a piece of his mind.   Water filled his mouth leaving the inuhanyou speechless. He stared as his brother incredulously.

As Inuyasha stood wet and naked staring at Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru stood wet and naked staring at Inuyasha.    Water dripped from their hair and fur. The wet fur stuck to Sesshomaru’s body in a form fitting style. His wet tail drooped. No longer did he look the part of a larger ferocious dog demon. Now he looked like a wet cat.

Inuyasha’s wet hair clung to face, neck and back. But the rest of him was free of impeding fabric and Sesshomaru was enjoying the view.

At long last Inuyasha bent over and started laughing and pointing at Sesshomaru.

“Wet Dog...” followed by several more guffaws and “smaller than I imagined” followed by more uncontrollable laughter.

After a few moments it was not funny to Sesshomaru and he switched back to his pristine dry self.

Inuyasha stopped laughing immediately.

“How the hell do you do that?!” He pointed. “You were sopping wet and now you are perfectly dry and dressed.”

“You are still naked.”

The statement caught both brothers off guard.   Sesshomaru was surprised he had mentioned it although if he had been staring the entire time.   Inuyasha blushed immediately and dropped back down in the water.

“Stop looking,” he called from his water covered position.

“I do not understand. You are pleasing to look at and well equipped as all Inu males are.”

“You mean as “you” are,” Inuyasha groaned.

“No, I mean as Father and I. I know of no others.”

“You saw Father naked!” Inuyasha shrieked.

“Why of course. We often bathed after running. There is nothing wrong with the physical body.   It’s aesthetics are part of its beauty.   And you are beautiful, brother. Don’t be ashamed.”

“Yeh, we’ll talk about that some other time. Now turn so I can get dressed.”

“I still do not understand but I will turn as you request.”

Inuyasha left the water and shook to get rid of the extra water. When content that he had removed the majority of the water he reached into the bush and retrieved his attire. Then when he finished dressing he called to Sesshomaru.

“We can go back to the village now.”

“Must we?   I thought we might continue our run only this time I wanted to offer you a ride.”

“Ride?   You would let me ride on your back?!” Inuyasha’s voice raised in pitch as the shock set in.

“My back would be best but if you would prefer elsewhere...”

“No, your back is just great!” A vision of his body dangling out of Sesshomaru’s mouth flashed by his mind and he shuttered.

“Are you cold, brother?”

“No—no, just fine. Tell me will you jump to this side of the river to get me or do I need to figure out how to get to you?”

Sesshomaru morphed into a sphere and moved over the water to Inuyasha’s side.   “When I switch I can only speak inu. Do you understand?”

Inuyasha nodded.

“I will phase into my dog form and then lower so you can get between my shoulder blades. Ready, Inuyasha?”

“Ready.” Inuyasha was actually excited.   He was going to get to ride on Sesshomaru’s back!

The big dog crouched and the inuhanyou scrambled up his leg and slid into the notch between his shoulder blades. Sesshomaru was warm and dry. Inuyasha felt the soft fur and brought it to his nose. He took a deep breath. His brother smelled divine!

A second later they were off again, racing through the countryside.

Inuyasha squealed with joy!   This had to be the best thing ever!   They covered so much land as the dog ran along the terrain away from humans. There were two ogres that were bowled over as the great dog rushed by. Inuyasha turned to look at them only to see large paw prints across their chest. He laughed and called out a cheer to Sesshomaru!   The inuhanyou tried to sit up higher to see but nearly lost his footing and grabbed quickly to a bundle of fur only to pull some of it out.

Sesshomaru stopped and turned his head to try and see what was happening on his back.

“Sorry Sesshomaru.   Lost my balance. Please can we keep going?” The inuhanyou begged and batted his large eyes.

Sesshomaru quivered his fur and started running again. Soon they were on a ledge staring out into the ocean. Sesshomaru switched to his humanoid form and caught Inuyasha as he fell.

“That was AWESOME!” Inuyasha hugged his brother briefly.

Sesshomaru attempted to hug him back but Inuyasha jumped away too fast.

“Brother, was there something in your eye when I stopped. You had a peculiar look on your face, like this.”   Sesshomaru attempted to make the “puppy-eye” expression, complete with batting his eyes.

Inuyasha squirmed.   “That was supposed to be a look you would never say no to. Kagome did it to me all the time. Maybe I did it wrong…”

“If your goal was to get me to continue running, I would say you were successful.”

“How about that,” Inuyasha marveled. “You did continue running.   Thank you, Sesshomaru.   It was a lovely run.”

“Inuyasha, I would like to share this special place with you.   If you need nourishment I will gladly get it for you or if you need heat I will make a fire.   But we must wait until the assigned hour to see what I want to share with you.”

Inuyasha looked about. It was a rocky flat place overlooking the sea. If Sesshomaru wanted to share it he wouldn’t complain but he did think food and a fire would be nice. “Sesshomaru, Fire and food would be great.”

The dog demon nodded and zipped off to procure the firewood. When he returned with the wood, Inuyasha arranged the wood and lit a fire. Then Sesshomaru raced off again in search of food. Inuyasha maintained the fire.

The second log had barely caught fire when Sesshomaru returned with several rabbits.   “They are for you.   As you can see that I am capable of providing for you.”

Inuyasha quirked his head and wrinkled his nose and eyes as he thought about that comment.   He replied, “Well, I could have feed myself, you know.”

The silence and odd expression had made Sesshomaru realize his comment was not received as he intended.

“Your ability to feed yourself is not at question, Inuyasha.   You are very capable, a trait I value highly.”

Sesshomaru sat near the fire close to Inuyasha and they remained like that with silence as their only company. In time the sun set behind them, its final rays kissing the ocean farewell. As the fire burnt low Sesshomaru allowed mokomoko to provide Inuyasha with heat.

Sesshomaru leaned back on his arms.   Inuyasha copied his actions.

“Now brother, watch the sky.”

As with any great stage play the sunset served as an intermission between day and night. Within thirty minutes the sunlight was gone completely from the sky and the stars and moon took the stage. The ocean water lapped against the sand softly akin to an orchestra warming up.   As their eyes accommodated to the darkness, the difference in the dark blue black background and the bright stars and planets sharpened. A lone bird called for its mate. The water sloshed steadily against the shore.

The entire Milky Way galaxy spread out for their personal inspection.   Starlight reflected on the water creating an almost exact duplicate.

Inuyasha smiled. His brother wanted to share this glorious scene with him. He turned to Sesshomaru and whispered, “Thank you”.

“There’s more. Wait a few more moments,” Sesshomaru murmured.

There was no need to speak in hushed tones yet in that moment the universe demanded it.

They continued to stare at the stars and listen to the oceanic orchestra.   The steady beat began lulling Inuyasha to sleep.

A little time later, Sesshomaru called “Inuyasha,” but there was no response. He turned to see his brother asleep, curled in close to Sesshomaru’s side, mokomoko protecting him from the chill.   Sesshomaru treasured the moment. But then he called again.

“Inuyasha”. The inuhanyou moved.   Sesshomaru touched his forearm gently and shock his brother.

“Inuyasha, it’s starting,” Sesshomaru pointed to the sky.

The hanyou followed his finger and gazed to the heavens.

Flashes of light raced across the sky, one after another.

“Oh, Sesshomaru!   It’s a meteor shower!   What a wonderful surprise!   Thank you for showing me.   It’s so much clearer and grander here than at the village. Thank you!”   Inuyasha’s eyes sparkled as they reflected the flashes of starlight.

“I am unaware of the term “meteor shower,” Inuyasha. I simply wanted you to see the falling stars,” Sesshomaru puzzled at his brother’s response. “Aren’t you going to make some wishes?”

“Oh, don’t worry. I have been,” the hanyou smiled.   “And one of them has already been answered. Having a great day with you, my big brother!”
