Author's notes:

Arya: Yeah you're right, Inuyasha doesn't get jealous at all, but that's only because of the 500 years he's had with Sesshoumaru showing him he'll do what ever the hell he wants anyways. He's never really had a lot of control of the relationship. So why bother. Sesshoumaru on the other hand hates that he still can't get Inuyasha's attention all to himself. Which is what he wants. LOL; And yeah i'm glad you picked up on the fact that Sessh. Loves Inu more. That was intentional. Inuyasha will slowly come around, and he does open his eyes more in this chapter. So I hope you enjoy.

Lord Youko: I'm not sure if I told you this before, but if I did i'll repeat it. I love that you can read so much into my story and take the time to write such long, thoughtful posts. I love that. Ty. I don't think Kanji would ever be grateful for punishment like that. LOL He's actually not into that sort of thing, which actually when you think about it makes the punishment much worse. He prefers the slow, gentle, personal type of sexual experience. XD””” But of course one can't really help or control what the body does.

As for Inu, he's not actually just happy to be Sesshoumaru's, but at the start of it, he doesn't have a choice, and by now they've been together so long, he just doesn't see himself any other way. Sesshoumaru has grown on him you can say. The mark did help a lot with that. But Sesshoumaru still has a bit to go before he's truly just happy being in love with him.

I do see the inconsistencies you speak off. Sesshoumaru is much easier for me to write. LOL. With Inuyasha i'm also thinking of how a pregnant woman is with mood swings, so that is wrapping him a bit. But, I will definitely think of it more, since I still want him to be Inuyasha.

I explain more about the rest of your review in this chapter so I hope you like it. The big blow up between Kanji and Sess, will happen in the next one though, so you're just going to have to wait. XD” Sorry...

Kit-Kit and Ariana: Ty for your reviews. Hope you like this chapter. Hope the council meeting is good. I worked on it a lot LOL

“Final plans coming together”

The ride to the youkai council offices had been silent expect for the way poor Kanji groaned every time Sesshoumaru would hit a bump on the road or would turn too fast for the poor uke demon. Inuyasha kept looking to the back seat where Emily was trying to help the poor thing, it wasn't working too well.

“I think you need to go slower, or you won't have a Kanji to present when we get there.” Inuyasha said with a small shake of his head and a laugh as he handed the demon an energy drink that Sesshoumaru had gotten him at a gas station. “There ya go. Try and just relax, kay. It's not inside you anymore, just relax.” Inuyasha said giving a look to Emily that said 'don't ask'. He could tell Emily was just dying to know what the hell was going on with the demon and her parents. But seriously Inuyasha did not want to answer those questions of hers at the moment.

Before he knew it they where there, and Sesshoumaru was getting out of the car and checking everything out before allowing his family out. The council's guards came over and he just gave them all a look that said 'get closer and i'll kill you.' They wisely stayed away and gave the demon lord his space. They barely got a look at Inuyasha before Sesshoumaru wrapped a possessive arm around his pregnant mate and motioned for Emily and Kanji to follow. Though Kanji was only able to walk thanks to support from Emily.

“Daddy... Is he sick or something?” Emily asked curious cause really she was not imagining that her parents had done anything sexual with him. After all they where mated to each other, and her daddy had curiously omitted the little 'males can have others as property that they can use as they want' lesson from her demon culture studies.

“Or something... Now let's just go okay, and remember not to insult them.” Inuyasha said as they walked inside. He walked next to Sesshoumaru into a large white room. Inside it was a large table, and all of the Youkai Lords and semi lords of Japan where there. Sesshoumaru calmly went over and removed the seat that was Kanji's from it's spot. Brought it over and put it against the wall behind him. He went and motioned Inuyasha to sit on the empty seat besides him while Emily stood in between them both just looking at all of the Lords there, who where all just starring at them like they where aliens or something.

“Let's get this over with. I do not wish to be here wasting my time.” Sesshoumaru said with an ice cold, very monotone voice.

“This is it? I thought they'd be.... I don't know... Imposing or something...They look pathetic.. It's just a bunch of old youkai...” Emily said with a tone that very resembled her father's arrogant one. To her the youkai in the room where not amazing. She'd never seen youkai that old. Hell she didn't know youkai could get that old. It was just shocking. All the youkai in the room looked to her and where clearly angry to be spoken to like that by such a youngling.

“Do not even think of it, gentlemen. My daughter can kill you where you sit.” Sesshoumaru said looking to them with an already bored tone.

“I told you not to insult any of them...” Inuyasha said in a quiet tone to his daughter.

“What? How was I supposed to know. How would it be a surprise? Don't they know they're old and pathetic?” Emily asked looking down to her daddy, not realizing she was still able to be heard, because she did not measure the tone in her voice. Not that she cared really. Inuyasha just rolled his eyes and looked to Sesshoumaru, who just smirked.

“Are we going to start or shall we just sit here and see what other truths my daughter will throw at you all?” Sesshoumaru said looking to them all.

“You will have to start by explaining yourself Lord Sesshoumaru! Rumor is that you have taken Lord Kanji and marked him. You can not do that. He is a lord. In addition to that you killed Lord Onizaki of the South and sent his widow his remains in a box. Do you have any idea how insulting that is?” The Semi-Lord of the South said cause well he had to act for the south now. Being the Semi-Lord of the largest region it was his responsibility until one of the lord's children was old enough to take over. The mate of the late Lord was in no condition to do so unfortunately after all this.

“I took Lord Kanji. He wanted to give himself to us freely. You may question him yourselves. Lord Onizaki insulted me in my own home. I will not take that sort of behavior from anyone. Least of all any of you! If his widow finds it so insulting she can come and fight me herself. Of course I would hate to have orphaned princes' in the South.” Sesshoumaru said with the same tone from before, though towards the end it had gotten sarcastic.

“You took your hanyou property, impregnated him... Twice I see... And now you expect us to take him as your mate? With honor? He is a hanyou. You know they are only good as property.” A semi-Lord of the North questioned. Kouga just groaned and smacked him upside the head himself, while sending him a deep growl that in wolf language meant 'shut the fuck up'. But he knew it was too late, the idiot had already screwed up.

“I see I will have to establish some rules.” Sesshoumaru said getting up. “My mate could care less what you all think. I happen to agree with him. Lord Onizaki is dead, and I could very well kill the rest of you easily. I do not wish to, your deaths would be more trouble than you are worth. I do however make one thing clean. I am majority leader now.” Sesshoumaru said walking gracefully around the table until he got to the lord that had spoken. He quickly broke his neck by twisting his head around in a full 180 degrees while everyone just watched with horror. The semi-Lord's upper body just fell down dead to the table with a large thud that made the other lords just gasp and look to Kouga. With the South waiting until Onizaki's children where older, & the east now at the hands of Kanji's “owner”. Kouga, being the Lord of The North, was the only large region lord left.

 

Kouga just looked at all of them and knew he was screwed. Big time! Screwed. All this meant he was now practically Sesshoumaru's bitch! At least Inuyasha got something good out of this. He just had to deal with him as a boss... Just what his nightmares were made off. “Lord Kanji, You gave yourself, fully, and without being pushed to do so?” Kouga asked standing up and looking to the lordling. He took one look at him and just looked at Sesshoumaru. “What the hell did you do to him?” He asked keeping his tone as normal as he could, while puffin up his chest, looking all strong and Lord like. He after all had to play his part, and ego wouldn't let him show fear or look weak in front of all these bastards; And he could tell neither Sesshoumaru nor Inuyasha had fucked Kanji last night, but something still happened to the poor guy. 

“He disobeyed. I corrected. Nothing more, nothing less.” Sesshoumaru said calmly walking back to his seat. “Kanji, you may answer their questions.” Sesshoumaru finally said.

Kanji looked up to them all. He had no idea it would feel this embarrassing. He was practically still drooling, and he couldn't control himself. His ass hurt and he had to sit in these hard, old wood, craved chairs. He just wanted this to end so he could go back to his room and rest. He looked over to Inuyasha who gave him a nod that it was going to be alright and he sighed. “I gave myself to them willingly. Lord Sesshoumaru is my master, I am his.” He said as he stood with a big wince that he tried to hide, while at the same time trying to sound very sure of himself. He wasn't sure if he actually did. He knew he wanted to belong to Inuyasha, not Sesshoumaru. But that wasn't an option and this was the next best thing. Although if he had to be truthful to himself he wasn't sure he was going to be able to deal with Sesshoumaru.

Kouga looked to Kanji and then looked to Sesshoumaru again. “And the hanyou?” Kouga asked looking to Inuyasha praying to Kami he could control his bastard of a mate so no one else died. He knew his prayers where hopeless when the other idiot spoke up. Not to mention that when he looked around the room some of the lords where looking at Inuyasha like one would a very desirable sex slave; And every time Inuyasha rubbed his belly they got even worse. It all made Kouga sick really. Inuyasha was his friend after all. He knew Sesshoumaru could see all this. The more time passed the more he could tell that the demon lord wanted his mate out of there. He didn't blame him.

“This does not make the slightest sense. Lord Kanji wanted the hanyou! Why would he willingly give himself to the only person keeping the hanyou from him?! Not to mention he was an alpha before all this.” One semi-lord asked. “He was not an uke until he met your hanyou. So how do we know 'your' hanyou has not done something to control him. Or for that matter control you? You where trying to kill him one day and fucking him the next. This is all suspicious Lord Sesshoumaru.” He continued. Kouga just groaned and plopped back down on his seat rubbing his temples and wondering if they where going to have any lords by the time all this was done.

“My father forced me to be alpha. I never wished it. He knew what I was from the moment I started growing.” Kanji said from his chair with a sigh. “Do not blame Inuyasha for this.” He was speaking the truth, and since everything else had come out, being more embarrassed wasn't phasing him.

“If I could fucking control people I wouldn't be the one fucking taking it up the ass!! You bunch of retards!” Inuyasha said growling, ruffly cause they where all annoying him as all get out. “Like I fucking asked for this shit!?” Inuyasha said crossing his arms and just rolling his eyes. The baby inside him just started kicking and moving, clearly upset from how annoyed Inuyasha himself was. Sesshoumaru watched his belly with silent concern.

“I assure you no one controls me!” Sesshoumaru said giving them all a look with red eyes for a second before he controlled himself, and stood. He wasn't sure what he was angry at the most, Their idiotic questions, or the way Inuyasha had spoken. “I have done what I needed to do. I presented my mate, Inuyasha. Prince of the West and son of the great Inu no Taishio. My daughter Emily, our first born, and my heir. And presented Kanji as my property, making the East now mine as well.” Sesshoumaru said motioning for Emily to come to him.

“Heir..?” Kouga said shocked. Just as shocked as everyone else was as well. “You're... Making the girl your heir?” The wolf lord asked. This had to be a joke.

“She is my first born.” Sesshoumaru said calmly. “Law states the first born is heir.”

“Unless the first born is female, as in your case. Law states you continue until you have a male. Your mate is pregnant... Law states you have to wait and if that one is a male then that is your heir.” Kouga said looking from Sesshoumaru to Inuyasha wondering what was going on. He could tell this was another of Sesshoumaru's plans. Emily for one was just as surprised as everyone else. Heir? Didn't that mean she'd have to rule all these idiots one day? She didn't want to do that. This was annoying. She didn't want to spend her days just like this.

“I am choosing Emily as my heir. It is my choice. If you wish to test her skill and power. By all means be my guest.” Sesshoumaru said calmly, with a small evil smirk. The semi-Lords looked to Kouga and whispered among themselves. But by this point none spoke up to challenge. “Good, then we will leave. See to it that none of you bother me with idiotic questions about my family again!” Sesshoumaru said as he took Inuyasha by hand and walked out of the room. Emily taking and helping Kanji and following after them.

“Uhh... Father? You where kidding right?” Emily asked as they walked back to the car. 

“No.” Sesshoumaru said just walking back silent as the grave.

“But... I don't get a say in this? It's my future... Daddy?” Emily asked again matching their walk. Inuyasha just sighed not knowing what to tell her. He was as shocked as everyone else was. Sesshoumaru hadn't told him he was planning on making Emily his heir. He never even figured it as an option, so he'd never warned her about it.

“No.” Sesshoumaru said with a tone that clearly meant stop talking about the subject.

“But... I don't.. want... “ Emily said but was cut off by Sesshoumaru when he suddenly turned and looked to his daughter.

“You are first born. As I was. My father did not care if I wanted too, neither did my mother. You are born to your your role. You will learn, you will get more powerful, and you will do as you are told by me when it comes to this. Just as I had to do.” Sesshoumaru said. “It is simple, and not up for discussion.” Sesshoumaru said calmly and started walking back to the car again.

“But...” Emily said almost getting watery eyes, because her father had never spoken to her like that, and she wasn't doing anything bad, she was just asking about it. It wasn't like she couldn't take being talked too like that, cause she could. When she knew she deserved it. But, she didn't think she did this time. She didn't want to rule. She looked to her daddy, and Inuyasha just sighed. He hated that face. Inuyasha went over as they got to the car.

“It's been a really long morning okay... I think we all need to cool down. We'll talk about this again another day.” Inuyasha said just trying to make his daughter feel better. But he had a feeling this wouldn't be changed and his daughter would have to just learn to like being Lady Of the West.

They all got into the car again. The ride back home was silent. Uncomfortable. Emily was in the back trying to be strong and not cry. Kanji knew he couldn't speak, so he didn't. He didn't want another dildo in his ass all night again. Or worse... But he could identify with the princess. Being forced into the role of heir was never easy if you did not want it. Inuyasha looked to Sesshoumaru wondering what was going through his head. He didn't get why he'd be pissed. He got what he wanted. All of the semi-lords and Kouga had to accept him as majority ruler. There was no one that could object and he'd taken out the only one who could. Inuyasha didn't get it, and it was only once they where alone again in their bedroom with Inuyasha taking off all the stuffy formal clothing that he looked to Sesshoumaru.

“What the fuck is wrong now? You got what you wanted... again... So why are you pissed?” Inuyasha asked sitting down on the bed with only under ware on, he flopped back, resting his back against the headboard, and rubbing his belly.

“You practically told them I forced you.” Sesshoumaru said coming over elegantly and sitting next to his mate. He gently rubbed the belly that carried his next child. 

“You.. practically did! Remember?! I didn't want it! I might have liked it, but I didn't want it!” Inuyasha said frowning and looking to Sesshoumaru. “Is that what this is about? Was I not supposed to say anything? Or was I supposed to stay quiet like a good little bitch?!” Inuyasha said with looking to Sesshoumaru, who looked up to him. There was something in his eyes. Inuyasha didn't know what it was.

“After all this time Inuyasha... Have you still not grown to want it? Not even a bit?” Sesshoumaru asked with a very uncharacteristic tone. “Or do you only pretend to want me when you wish something from me?” He asked.

Inuyasha just blinked back. He wasn't sure what the hell to say. Did that mean Sesshoumaru knew... Did he know he was just acting to get his way in coming here? He just blushed deep red. How the hell did you answer that question. He couldn't lie... Sesshoumaru would smell that. He didn't have enough youki left to control his scent. It wasn't that he pretended all of the time. Most of the time he really was horny as hell for Sesshoumaru. He couldn't help it, That sort of shit came with the mark. The first couple of decades after Kagome died he tried to control it, but it never did work. He always ended up back at Sesshoumaru's feet, worse than ever. He had hated every freaking moment of that feeling. It had taken nearly a century for him to come to grips with it, and accept it. Accept what he was right now. He knew Sesshoumaru didn't really see any of that, or if he did he wasn't sure he cared. He was just happy to have him as he was now.

“You have told me you loved me before... Was that a lie?” Sesshoumaru asked with that look again. Inuyasha just kept starring at Sesshoumaru trying to figure out what the hell that look was. It took so long that Sesshoumaru stood and walked off towards the private hot spring without telling him another word. Inuyasha sat up in bed and sighed. He knew this day was just a shit load, but he didn't think it was gonna be this much of it. He sat there trying to figure out what that look in Sesshoumaru's face was. It took a while, but the idea that came to mind couldn't be right... Sesshoumaru couldn't be hurting... Could he? Come on... This was Sesshoumaru. He sighed getting up and going over to the hot springs. He stood there by the door watching Sesshoumaru dip himself into the hot water. He was acting normal. Elegant, and distinguished in everything, like always. But Inuyasha knew... He knew there was a difference.

“What do you want from me Sesshoumaru... You... You took me when I didn't want to be taken... Kept me by force the entire time... Then you started traveling and I only saw you for like a day at most every 10 years, or when ever you decided you wanted a fuck from me.” Inuyasha said sighing. “But... I wasn't lying when I said I loved you.” Inuyasha said coming over to him. “Kay...I would never lie about shit like that.” He said.

“I have always allowed you to have your partners on the side. I have given you freedoms no other in your position ever have.” Sesshoumaru said. “Do you believe it is easy for me to do so when all I wish is for you to be all mine? I have allowed you to top me, and even that does not seem to be enough for you.” He said not looking behind him to the hanyou.

Inuyasha sighed and sat there besides the spring, Just behind Sesshoumaru. He ran his fingers through the silk like hair. “I'm sorry... I was pissed... They where being annoying... I said the first shit that came to mind... I'm sorry if you didn't want me to say it...” Inuyasha said.

“I do not want you to mean it! And you do. I do not know what else you wish from me hanyou.” Sesshoumaru said.

Inuyasha just sighed. Why did this have to happen. Why did he have to feel like the bad guy here... He was the one that was practically raped. He just sighed. “I do love you Sesshoumaru... I do mean that...” He said. “I know you could have treated me much worse, and I know you didn't have to allow half the things you did. You've been really good to me. Better than I thought you would be. I didn't... I didn't know you... loved me... How was I supposed too? You.. You never tell me?” Inuyasha said. “And I ain't a mind reader.”

 

“You think yourself too important Hanyou.” Sesshoumaru said getting up abruptly and getting out of the hot spring. Leaving Inuyasha there on the floor looking up at him. He hadn't wanted t give the hanyou more ammunition against him. But it seems he had. He hated seeing that look of confusion and sorrow on the hanyou's face. He truly didn't understand. Why was Sesshoumaru not surprised. He truly didn't get that he might want him for himself. The way those bastards had looked at him. Like he was a piece of meat... He hadn't liked it, and Inuyasha hadn't noticed it. Every one of those bastards knew Kanji wanted his hanyou. It all worked in Sesshoumaru's mind, making him worse the more he thought of it.

“Sessh....” Inuyasha said.

“You want Kanji... You may have him...” Sesshoumaru said walking out of the room. Inuyasha was just left there shocked to hell, blinking, with tears coming down his cheeks, wondering what the fuck just happened. Did Sesshoumaru not love him? He just imagined that? Cause he wanted too? Cause it made him feel better? What if all that was just an act of his imagination? What if he was just pissed cause he disobeyed one of his silent rules or some shit. He wasn't supposed to say he was forced...? What that it? He was supposed to sit there silent like a good little bitch? No, he said he didn't want him to mean it... Like he wasn't supposed to feel that he was taken by force? Was he kidding? Yeah, it was a long freaking ass time ago, but still it wasn't like he could forget that he never got to live the life he wanted with Kagome cause he'd always ended up lying to her. He had wanted to be a good mate to her, and he hadn't been. He had ended up cheating on her the entire time.

His first instinct was too curl up. He just wanted to cry, He wanted to die... To get sucked up by the earth. He wanted to fade away from all this... To finally go off and be with Kagome... And Kikyo... But he couldn't... The baby inside him kicked. Reminding him that it was there as more tears came down his cheeks. He cleaned his face, and that rash, angry side of him just roared to the front, making him stand up as best he could. He almost fell into the hot spring, but managed to right himself before he did. Once up he just went after his bastard of a mate. He was trying to think of it from Sesshoumaru's point of view, even though it was hard as hell, he tried. He wanted him to mean it. Which mean he actually had to love him. He had too or he wouldn't care if he meant it or not. If he only wanted him for what he could provide, he wouldn't give five craps what he felt. Right? Yeah, that had to be it.

It had to be that ego, and pride of his, that kept him from saying it. But if he wanted him for himself why did he accept the partners and stuff? Why not just order him to be only with him no matter what? He could do that. It wasn't like he didn't order him around for everything else. Was he just accepting it to keep up appearances? Which was the truth? Did he really didn't care? Or was that 'I don't share' crap the truth? Why the fuck did the asshole have to be so fucking complicated!!!! He burst the office door open with a slam and growled to Sesshoumaru.

“I told you to go with Kanji. I do not care!” Sesshoumaru said coldly putting a picture frame he was holding face down on the desk.

“I don't give five fucks. I don't love Kanji! I love you! For the life of me I can't figure out why. You're a selfish, cold, self absorbed, possessive jack ass! But I love you!” Inuyasha said coming over to his desk.

“I have never pretended to be something other than what I am.” Sesshoumaru said calmly, hiding everything under that cold, stoic mask of his as he looked up to his mate. Which was true. Why would he lie about what he was? To himself or to anyone. He knew he was cold, He could be self absorbed, most of the time it was Inuyasha that reminded him to think of others. He was possessive, because he was who he was and did not see why he had to share anything that was his. So would he try and pretend to be nice? To like people? Why? They where imbecilic lower creatures just annoying him. The more time passed the worse they got. Inuyasha just shook his head with a small smirk.

“I need to know if you love me too?! I need to know I wasn't just a way for you to secure the west Sesshoumaru. Please... Tell me I wasn't just a means to an end... like Kanji.” Inuyasha said as he bowed his head, hand cuddling his arms around his belly, as he tried to hide that he was crying.

Sesshoumaru looked up to the hanyou, mentally his instincts where screaming at him to comfort his mate. He looked at the tears. He knew those where real. The way Inuyasha was hiding himself. He knew that was real. He pulled the hanyou to him and sat him on his lap. The hanyou curled into him, burying his face into his chest. He felt the wetness of the tears against him, and curled his arms around Inuyasha.

“You were at first...” Sesshoumaru said with that monotone voice of his. “I forced myself to find you that day... Forced myself to get an erection to take you.” He said and felt more wetness on his chest. He sighed. “But you were better than expected. I took you, and left, but I could not forget how you felt under me, around me. I took others to try and forget. But none compared. I finally had to go find you again. Take you again... And again... I do not know what this is Hanyou... Only that I can not be without you... But you can clearly be without me...” Sesshoumaru said sighing. “You can so easily take others.”

“I was horny! You where already gone 10 years, and I didn't know when you'd be back. I kept asking you. Throwing you hints. But you never got it. You just kept telling me it would be a long while still... I'm half human! We weren't fully mated. I didn't think it mattered. I thought you fucked others besides me. What the fuck else do you want to hear.. Humans get horny, alright? Pregnant humans get even hornier. Even then it wasn't easy if that's what you think...” Inuyasha said whimpering and just cleaning his face. “Just... Don't leave me alone again, and then i'll always have you to satisfy me. You're the only one I really want anyways...” Inuyasha said with a whimper. He tried to be strong, and tried to be what he used to be. But it was not working out.

“Do you truly mean that hanyou?” Sesshoumaru said just rubbing his back, lightly licking an ear to get his mate to feel better. It was foolish of him to have lost control like this while his mate was carrying. How could he have been so foolish. Even if part of him told him he was right to be upset. It was still foolish. He wanted his son born healthy. He felt his mate's belly and felt the kicking of his unborn son, upset because his mate was upset and mentally sighed, kicking himself again. Inuyasha nodded silently and he just sighed. “So if you did not have Kanji to fuck you would be alright?” Sesshoumaru asked. Inuyasha nodded again.

“I want to belong to you fully Sess... I want us to forget the past, and just be the two of us. I just want to forget how we started, and just be happy that I have you, and we're a family. I don't wanna fight with you about this again...” Inuyasha said sighing, all the comfort of his mate's arms making him feel better. He felt the kiss on the top of his head from his mate, silently telling him he agreed. “What are you going to do with Kanji?”

“I will give him to someone we can trust, Someone who will allow him to be the uke he wants to be.” Sesshoumaru said with a small ghostly smirk, that Inuyasha did not see. “I do not want you to worry about it.” He said just kissing and licking his mate's velvet ear, making him moan and whimper a little. His ears tweaked and moved out of instinct, trying to get away from his mouth. Sesshoumaru always found it amusing. He looked up when he heard a commotion outside. Wrapping his fur around Inuyasha he got ready for anything, even though something told him, the other piece of the puzzle was hopping through his castle already.

“Can't catch me you idiot dogs!!!” Shippou yelled laughing while he ran and hopped from wall to wall in his fox form, jumping out of the reach of the guards. “HAH! Need more training! Sesshoumaru's gonna cut off your thick heads!” The fox demon said laughing and bursting into Sesshoumaru's office, He shifted back to his human form and then slamming the door closed on the guards. “You really need faster guards. Not to mention more intelligent ones.” Shippou said with a big happy smirk and a laugh. Then he noticed what he walked into. “Uhh... Did I interrupt something?” He said blinking.

“No, you are for once right on time.” Sesshoumaru said with a small barely there smirk. Inuyasha picked up his head and looked to his fox kit with a smirk. Shippou was now a very handsome young man. In human appearance he looked around 20. He had finally hit that growth spurt and was now about 6ft. Tall. Even had normal human legs.

“You can't make a fucking normal entrance huh?” Inuyasha said getting up from Sesshoumaru and going over to his adopted son.

“What fun would that be?” Shippou said with a smirk and hugged the only being that was truly family to him. “Damm... Sesshoumaru didn't waste time huh.. You weren’t kidding he really did get you pregnant fast.” Shippou said with more teasing laughter as he rubbed the belly.

“Very fucking funny! Be happy you're an alpha, you brat!” Inuyasha said smacking him upside the head. At this point it didn't hurt the fox anymore, not that it ever did. Shippou always was acting up to get Kagome's attention and both of them knew it. Shippou did just laugh out loud about it. 

“Yeah! And i'm very proud and happy about it!” Shippou said with a laugh, plopping down on a near by chair.

“Have you slept with anyone yet?” Inuyasha said as he went back to Sesshoumaru's lap, and just rested against him, clearly tired from all that had happened. He tried to scent Shippou, but the fox had too many tricks to prevent that. His tricks still annoyed the hanyou to this day. But at least he didn't get the brunt of 'em now a days.

“Yeah, more than you'd be happy with i'm sure.” Shippou said with a laugh. “But humans are soo easy to trick into bed.” He said with a smirk. Inuyasha just rolled his eyes, and shock his head. “You know I didn't raise ya to be a man whore! You oughta control yourself before you have weak ass fox kits every where.” Inuyasha said seriously. Shippou smirked, and nodded.

“I knew you'd say that. But i've been taking care so that don't happen. You didn't raise an idiot either.” Shippou said with his happy, handsome smirk. “So what's this I hear about you guys taking on a sex slave?” He asked curiously.

“Good crap.. He's not a sex slave... He's... just... It's fucking complicated okay... But, no we haven't slept with him... At least.. Sessh.. hasn't...” Inuyasha said sighing and rubbing his temples.

“I think it's time for your nap.” Sesshoumaru said picking him up easily and walking out of the office carrying his mate bridal style. Inuyasha didn't complain, he was just too exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally from the day. Shippou got up and followed. Sesshoumaru motioned for his angry guards to leave, and Shippou just laughed at them with a big smirk. He was sniffing everywhere, it had been a long time since he'd been in this old castle. He smelled the scent of a new Inu in the castle, an uke male, and knew that had to be the guy. But he only smelled like Sesshoumaru. It all made the fox demon very very curious. By the time Sesshoumaru put Inuyasha into bed, the hanyou was already asleep.

“Soo..?” Shippou asked looking to Sesshoumaru as he walked over to stand by the demon lord. He'd gotten over his fear of Sesshoumaru a long time ago. Not that he didn't respect how fast the demon could kill him, cause he did. He just didn't worry about it anymore. Maybe it was the fact that Sesshoumaru had also practically raised him along with Inuyasha. He didn't consider the demon Lord a father figure like he did Inuyasha, but still knew he'd been important in his raising. Sesshoumaru had driven the bratty weakness out of him, most of the time the hard way. Of course it had only happened after Kagome had passed away.

“I suppose you want the short version?!” Sesshoumaru stated calmly. The fox nodded. “While I was away the 15 years Inuyasha had a one night stand with Lord Kanji of the East. Apparently he was the lordling's first male bed partner; Inuyasha topped him. I am not sure why, but after that the Lordling has not wanted another partner besides Inuyasha. He has not slept with other males. I am sure if he would, he would see that he would enjoy it with others as well. As you can imagine I am not letting him have Inuyasha.”

“But... The rumors stated that you had accepted him?” Shippou asked curious.

“Yes, I have... I scented him as mine. I have not yet marked him fully. Kanji gave himself to me, fully and already stated it in front of the council.” Sesshoumaru explained.

“But... You're not gonna give him to Inuyasha?” Shippou asked looking to the demon lord who shook his head calmly.

“I had intended too do so. But it would create more problems in the mating. Neither of us wishes for that to happen.” Sesshoumaru said looking over to his sleeping mate.

“Basically it would make you a jealous wreck, and Inuyasha an angry bastard.” Shippou said with another laugh. Something that earned a growl from Sesshoumaru.

“So... if you're not gonna give him to Inuyasha, and you don't wanna keep him around you need to find someone to take him off you. But I suppose you want someone that will accept what you want for the East. Someone you can 'control' so to speak...” Shippou said looking to Sesshoumaru; Who just smirked back to him with that evil smirk of his. “OH..... hell no... Come on... I ain't fucking settling down yet! I'm young.” Shippou said. “Besides, last thing I wanna be is a freaking lord!”

“I see you picked up Inuyasha's vocal talents, again; And here I thought I has whipped that out of you...” Sesshoumaru said looking slightly annoyed. “You do not have to be lord. I will keep the east for myself. All you have to do is make Kanji yours. Like I did with Inuyasha. After you have him, and you have tried him if you wish to make him your full mate you can do so. The youngling is your age, and will give you powerful kits once he's properly shifted to that.” Sesshoumaru said giving Shippou a smirk, cause he knew the kit had been looking for that. It was understandable for him to start looking early. Youkai in this day and age where few and far between sometimes. Most did not last long single; And since he was the last of his line, it was also understandable for him to wish to strengthen his own kits' futures. He had been a weak child after all. He knew he would not have survived if not for the protection of others.

“Okay... But what if he doesn't wanna give himself to me...? I ain't you, and i'm not gonna take him by force.” Shippou said looking to Sesshoumaru with strong green eyes.

“You are a master of tricks and deception. I am sure you can figure out how to make the little innocent pup yours without forcing him. He's only been with Inuyasha, and Inuyasha has only been with Kagome and myself. You have more tricks than him. Kanji is sex hungry. Give him what he wants, he will follow you to the ends of the earth.” Sesshoumaru said with a small smirk and went back to the bed to sit with Inuyasha. “He's next door. Tell him I scent you to make him 'happy', That you are Inuyasha's son.” Sesshoumaru added.

Shippou rolled his eyes. “Fine, but i'll only take him if we both like each other... I ain't forcing no one...” Shippou said and made for the door. “You know I didn't fall for all that talk out of your ass that you did right? Cause we both know you had all this planned from the start.” Shippou said calmly from the door with a big smirk. “Inuyasha might not see it, but you can't fool a trickster. You wanted the East.”

Sesshoumaru looked up to the fox with a small barely there evil smirk. “And you know you can never prove anything of the sort. Off you go little fox.” Sesshoumaru said with that stoic, neutral tone he got when everything was marching according to plan. Shippou laughed and shook his head.

“Pretty soon you'll be the lord of all the youkai. Ain't that what you always wanted?” Shippou asked.

“I thought it was...” Sesshoumaru said and looked down to Inuyasha's angelic sleeping face as he moved a strand of hair out of the way gently.

“Your pops is probably cracking up where ever he is.” Shippou said laughing himself and going off. Sesshoumaru smiled softly once he was alone, and laid down next to his mate, laying an arm protectively over his belly. He knew Shippou was probably right about his father.
