Inuyasha awoke feeling quite warm. When he opened his eyes he saw that he, his Tsuma, and Musuko (Son) were all covered by this very soft fur woven blanket that had a distinct male smell to it.
“Good morning Otouto.”
Sesshoumaru stated as he leaned against the door.
Inuyasha yawned and slid out from the blanket trying his best not to wake his little family.
“Why are you here (yawn)? I thought you had important Lord stuff to do in the morning.”
Sesshoumaru smiled.
“I already finished last night so that we may have the day together. Did you sleep well?”
Inuyasha shrugged.
“I slept about as good as I always do. You know having to keep one eye open just in case something happens.”
Inuyasha stated as he ran his claws through his hair a few times hoping that today was the day his hair would behave for him, but of course there was some static. Probably from the blanket that was draped over them sometime last night.
“How did you like the blanket? It was made of Chichi’s fur.”
Inuyasha was shocked and looked at the blanket then smelled it.
“Oh, that is what that smell was. I was wondering.”
Sesshoumaru smirked a bit. He did well so far and as long as he was on a roll he might as well keep going while things were going so far up to plan.
“Yes, well it is yours and there are a few more like it if you wish to use them while you are here. There is also one of mine that you may have if you wish.”
Inuyasha could see his Ani was in a good mood which usually meant bad things later on, but so far Sesshoumaru was being decent so why push his luck?
Inuyasha frowned at his hair, but shrugged. Eventually it would calm down he hoped.
“I was thinking about this Holiday thing that you and your Tsuma wish to celebrate. Are you certain you know nothing about this event?”
Inuyasha sighed.
“You should really ask Kagome about it. It is one of her things and it catches on pretty quickly. However, we are trying to keep it to only the village since it is a tradition that is held by the Europeans or whatever. Kagome’s family does it mainly for fun.’
“All I know is you give gifts to each other on that day and that you’re supposed to decorate trees and shit like that. Miroku is the best one to talk to about it since he was the one who read one of Kagome’s books that discussed this thing. I think he still has it. (Yawn) I was supposed to read the Christmas story this year, but that is only if you let us go to the village for the Holiday.”
Sesshoumaru was surprised. It seemed this Holiday was something very important. He would have to learn more about this, but later since today he would court his mate without Inuyasha figuring it out yet. Sesshoumaru wanted to take things slow since if he rushed their joining he knew his Otouto would revolt.
“Well perhaps if your Tsuma chooses to, she may decorate our home here. It could use a little something.”
Inuyasha smiled.
“I think Kagome would like that. Just as long as she isn’t doing any lifting since I don’t want to strain her too much after all she has been through having the pup and all. I think it might just cheer this place up a bit. I just don’t think she has any crayons left. I know that helped with the decorations at the village.”
Sesshoumaru cocked his head to the side.
“Crayons? What are crayons?”
Inuyasha looked at one of the candles that was lighting the long hallway. They of course did not hold a regular flame since it was a spell that kept them lit, but it would help him to describe what a crayon was.
“It is like these candles. They are made of wax except in many different colors and they are smaller than these candles. You use them on paper and they make it colorful.”
Sesshoumaru thought about his wax seal.
“Perhaps she could use some of my seals. I can get more or perhaps we can go to the market before we go to my Haha’s castle.”
Inuyasha sighed. He really did not want to meet Sesshoumaru’s Haha, but that was part of the reason he was brought here. So he would have to swallow his pride a bit and be nice. As long as he didn’t have to talk much he would do ok. The last thing he needed was a pissed off Ani who thought he purposely was rude to his Haha. That would gain him immediate pain and Inuyasha had enough of that at least until Sesshoumaru really trained him. That silence crap was totally for the birds. He could hear everything just fine and those damn fairies were getting on his last nerve as they even sang in their sleep.
Inuyasha swore if he heard one more Fa la la la he was going to need some serious therapy from the perverted Houshi (Monk).
“Do not worry about being silent today Inuyasha. Eventually you will get used to the songs or fade them out entirely. It takes time and skill to fade them out. Fairies are not here for our pleasure; they are here to feel pleasure from us. I mainly keep them because of my Haha. If I destroyed her fairies I would have hell to pay. Besides they are the rays of light for this castle and are what gives this place warmth even on the coldest of days.”
Inuyasha grumbled a bit figuring he would hopefully get used to it as they floated about him like little bugs.
“Can humans hear their song?”
Sesshoumaru smiled.
“Yes, but it isn’t usually good for the human since they tend to bewitch common humans to their deaths. Fairies do not care much for humans, but your Tsuma is not a normal human. She is a miko with powers so they will most likely stay away from her. Any beings with holy powers tend to frighten off a fairy since they cannot bewitch them. Fairies tend to lean towards demons since we protect them and use them to our purposes. Once a fairy finds a powerful demon they usually will follow him or her until that demon dies.”
Inuyasha pouted.
“Well they sure seem to like me pulling at my ears and hair.”
Sesshoumaru chuckled.
“You are part human and that is what draws them to you. They are playing with you since they sense you are both powerful and human. It is new to them. You will find they lose interest rather quickly.”
Inuyasha frowned.
“You said I am weak so how can I be both powerful and weak at the same time Ani?”
Sesshoumaru frowned since he didn’t mean to compliment his brother so soon. Perhaps it was a bit too much to start with.
“It is easy to explain Inuyasha. You have Father’s blood which can make you very powerful and you have your Haha’s human blood which was part priestess. Before Chichi died he told me that your Haha had secretly trained with a powerful miko named Midoriko.’
“This miko was no normal miko. Midoriko fought demons that were as powerful as Chichi using a sword to battle with that had been made of purified silver which could cut even the strongest of demons purifying them to death.’
“Midoriko did not stay long to train your Haha, but she did give her something that I have kept for you here in case one day you were to come home to me. I forgot about it during the fifty years you were pinned to the tree of life and was reminded once again of its presence when you came here. I was going to save the things I am about to give to you as mementos of Chichi, but I think he would have wanted you to have them.”
Inuyasha followed his brother into a room that had several suits of armor placed inside. Some of them were so old that one would only have to touch it and the things would fall apart. Still, some kind of spell surrounded each suit as though protecting it from harm.
Trying not to gawk at all of the armor in the place he finally came to the center where Sesshoumaru was standing.
“This is one of many suits of armor our Chichi wore into battle. It is in perfect condition because Chichi only wore it one time and that was when he mated your Haha. I believe that he would want you to wear it along with the charm necklace that was given to your Haha.’
“I am not certain what powers the charm holds, but I believe that it was meant for you to figure out.”
Sesshoumaru watched as Inuyasha walked around the magnificent armor. It was just like the armor his Chichi wore at the grave site although not as big or impressive. Inuyasha had to admit his Chichi was one huge dog demon and wondered if his Ani would ever get to that size.
“I don’t think that it will fit me Ani. Our Chichi must have been a very tall man.”
Sesshoumaru wasn’t certain on how he felt about Inuyasha wearing this armor since it did bring back some bad memories, but Sesshoumaru brushed them aside. He had been foolish in feeling so angry at his Chichi for years that it was time to let this anger go. Chichi provided him with everything he wanted including his Otouto who will be his mate soon. This fiery red silk kimono with the white chrysanthemums like his own was perfect for Inuyasha. He could wear it over his fire rat robes and it would complement the color that was indeed Inuyasha. Red suited his Otouto.
“Chichi was taller than the both of us Inuyasha. I had to be fitted for this armor and kimono I now wear. It was also one of Chichi’s that was picked out for me when I came of age as an adult. Chichi had it made before his death and I wear it to honor him. You will be doing the same. It is tradition in this family to wear the armor of one’s Chichi. Yours will only be missing the mokomoko that I carry with mine.”
Inuyasha was confused.
“What the hell is a mokomoko?”
Sesshoumaru brushed the fur on his shoulder.
“It is my fur. It is a part of me, yet it is not. Mokomoko is not a tail or a mane of fur. It is a creature all its own and when you come of age you will receive yours. At least that is what I have been told Otouto, but you are hanyou so it may not attach to you as mine does. Haha wears two of them and Chichi also had two. I am still growing and when my growth stops I will also have two since they separate themselves and at that point I will wear new armor.”
Inuyasha looked at Sesshoumaru wanting to touch the fur, but decided to just leave his hands where they were since he didn’t want to invade Sesshoumaru’s space.
“So does it detach?”
Sesshoumaru lifted it off of himself and handed it to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha took the thing and was shocked when it raveled around him.
“This thing is clingy.”
Sesshoumaru stood impassive as usual.
“You have no idea.”
Sesshoumaru lifted his arm and mokomoko slid back onto his body and settled itself in the same place it was before.
“So is the tailor coming any time soon cause I could really use some food about now. Usually Kagome is cooking me some kind of hot gruel for breakfast about now. You wouldn’t mind if I just went out and hunted for a moment would you?”
Sesshoumaru smiled. This way he could find out what Inuyasha liked to eat.
“Actually we can go to the kitchens and you can choose whatever you like. The cooks are available any time of day so if you are hungry you may go down and request anything you want. I don’t eat much, but I will join you for breakfast if you desire.”
Inuyasha shrugged.
“Sure, but let me wake up Kagome so she can come with us. I am sure she is up about now. This is the time of day when she usually is feeding Fuyuki.”
Inuyasha stated licking his lips thinking of that yummy breast milk that he could be drinking right now.
Sesshoumaru wasn’t really ready to greet the young miko and had hoped for more time alone with his Otouto to woo him properly. In fact he had an agenda planned for Inuyasha for the next few weeks which included training and courting the boy until Sesshoumaru could claim his Otouto as his own.
“So I guess we should head back.”
Sesshoumaru nodded as Inuyasha walked towards the castle with Sesshoumaru by his side.
