Chapter 23 : Learning
Dinner was a quiet affair, almost companionable. Sesshoumaru was enjoying himself, his claimed one was calm and seemed happy in his presence, the Kit and the Hanyou's interaction was highly entertaining. Sesshoumaru did not talk much, preferring to watch and listen to learn the way the two got along. He spoke cordially when the Kitsune asked his opinion, and saved his more serious questions for a later date. It pleased the Demon Lord greatly that the Hanyou did not use the Kit as a barrier or to protect himself from the Demon Lord. Inuyasha sat between Shippo and the Demon Lord, not fighting or moving away when the Demon Lord touched him casually through out dinner. And there were many touches, all proper but almost constant.
Sesshoumaru had every intention of sending the Kitsune to sleep in the cave while he indulged himself in the Hanyou's sweet body once again. But sometimes even the plans of the Demon Lord goes awry.
They had not quite finished dinner when the weather turned. There was a sudden weight of a storm in the air. Inuyasha immediately jumped up, he took a fighting stance and and sniffed the air.
“It is just a storm, little Hanyou, we will be quite sheltered in the cave.” Sesshoumaru amused tried to reassure the tense Hanyou.
Inuyasha shook his head, “No, my Lord this is not a storm.” Inuyasha said it with such confidence that the Lord crocked his head questioningly and waited for the Hanyou to explain his odd statement. “It is a searching my Lord, the cloud hides something that searches for its prey, I have come across this before my Lord.”
“Hhm, tell me my precious one, what or who does this cloud that you are so familiar with search for?” Sesshoumaru asked pointedly.
Inuyasha reddened and didn't reply, Shippo was quick to fill the silence.
“Usually it searches for Inu Nii-chan, it is the stupid irritating nosy witches from the temple of light. They are so stupid they haven't figured out that Inu Ni-chan can sense their stupid cloud cover and escape before what ever is inside appears. They send out searchers like this every 6 months or so, we hide in deeper caves or just move away until it passes.”
Sesshoumaru sighed, so much for his plans. “Then by all means let us be off. This Sesshoumaru usually will stand and fight but with such precious cargo, it may be best to put it off for now.” Sesshoumaru was talking about Inuyasha, Inuyasha assumed Sesshoumaru was talking about Shippo and Shippo .. well he assumed nothing, cause really he was too young to make such assumptions. They broke camp quickly and was off on the travel cloud, moving in a different direction from the storm front.
This time Sesshoumaru instructed the Kitsune to flatted himself as much as possible to Inuyasha's left shoulder, then the Demon Lord pulled the Hanyou close to him, holding him close. The Demon Lord extended his aura to envelop the two in his arms. Anyone probing would only sense the Demon Lord, the cloud made its way forward, and the storm front was left behind. Even with the danger over the Demon Lord did not release the Hanyou, instead he leaned down and nuzzled the pure white and pink puppy ear. “Now my precious one, you will tell me why is it the humans in the temple of light seek so desperately to find what belongs to me?”
Inuyasha shivered at the possessiveness that dripped from every word. “They cause the Demon in my blood to awaken, and they have been hunting me ever since.” Inuyasha said in his normal manner, he was not a Hanyou of many words. Sesshoumaru looked at the Hanyou with stilted eyes, his brows rose when he saw the honest straight forward look in the Hanyou's face. Inuyasha truly thought that what he said was a sufficient explanation. He was going to demand that the Hanyou elaborate further, when the Kit stuck his head out.
“The only person Inu Nii-chan tells good stories to is me, Lord Sesshoumaru. Let me tell you the story.” Shippo switched position to sit in the shoulder, his small hand grabbing his toes and he sat comfortably and rocked. To Sesshoumaru's eyes the position was rather precarious, and he would have never allowed Rin to take such a position on a high area, but the Kitsune was totally at ease. And Sesshoumaru watched with narrow eyes as Inuyasha automatically, shifted his stance and position to give the Kitsune the safest way to sit. Inuyasha would never allow the kit to fall, and the kit knew it.
The relationship was endearing and infuriating to the Demon Lord.
The Kit began to talk, and Inuyasha sort of relaxed, responding by nodding and supporting the Kit's story. Sesshoumaru had all this time assumed that it was the Kitsune who needed the Hanyou, and that the one who gave in the relationship was the Hanyou, while the Kitsune like any child just took. Now he realized he was wrong. The Kitsune protected the Hanyou from social situations that he was very uncomfortable in, the Kitsune seemed to deliberately draw attention to himself so that they would look at him and not the extremely self conscious Hanyou, who absolutely hated being the center of attention in a big crowd. Hell Inuyasha hated being the center of attention to any strangers, every time he drew attention to himself stuff went wrong.
Shippo told of how Inuyasha had been almost fully human, his Youkai asleep deep inside him, until the Priestess (or Witches as Shippo called them) forced the Youkai awake. Then the witched had wanted to put a collar of his Nii-chan but his brave and strong big brother had of course escaped. The Kit told of how his grandmother had aged him so that he could find his Inu Nii-chan and then the twp of them had to leave Inuyasha's home city and Granny Kaede behind. Both boys were saddened by that part of the story. Shippo quickly explained about how the Priestess in the temple was still very much after his Nii-chan. While they had been traveling to the Forest of Emerald Gold they had been chased, and except for that one time capture; they had managed to show up the temple of the Light repeatedly over the years. Sesshoumaru listened patiently, Shippo told the story as a child would, focusing on the interesting parts and missing important bits, but the Demon Lord was canny enough to fill in the blanks. Some questions he would ask with his uncle in attendance, but one question he wanted to know now.
“My precious one, this Priestess Kagome (The word was spat out) is she the whor... woman whom you mentioned the other night.” Sesshoumaru had changed the word when Inuyasha had glared poisonously at him for beginning to use that word in the little Kit's hearing. Inuyasha didn't mind some swearing but certain things were not acceptable. The Hanyou nodded shortly, as much as he would like to forget the incident, he would not deny what had happened in the past.
“She sought to put a collar on you? What kind of collar was it?” Sesshoumaru asked and Inuyasha drew in a sharp breathe.
“It was a collar the priestess used to control Unicorns, it looked like a beaded necklace. I destroyed it, but I am sure it has since been repaired.” Inuyasha gritted his teeth, he said the words softly making sure Shippo did not hear them “You have Shippo, you don't need to put a collar on me, I already said I'll be your fucking slave.” Fear choked him again, how brave would he need to be to survive this?
Sesshoumaru's indrawn breathe was sharp. “Hanyou, if you were not my precious one, I would skin you for that insult. I will rid you of the strange notions in your head. I only sought knowledge of the collar so I could destroy it, your are claimed, not a slave, and any who seek to put a collar around your neck will die a slow and most appropriate death.” Inuyasha turned and looked at Sesshoumaru shocked at his words.
'I'm sorry.. I .. I just..” Inuyasha tried to say but even he was unsure what he was trying to say.
Looking at the too young and too serious face, Sesshoumaru softened, He drew the Hanyou to him again, and tucked his head into Sesshoumaru's chest.
“Hush! It is not my place to explain about claiming, there is one who's responsibility is to do that. You will meet him soon, until then know this Inuyasha you are mine. Mine to hold and Mine to protect, and this Demon Lord will ensure that his precious one is never collared.” Sesshoumaru's long fingers rested on the claim mark, stroking it possessively.
Inuyasha was stiff at first, but he slowly relaxed into the Demon Lord's embrace. It was totally confusion. How could the one being he feared the most, who cause most of Inuyasha's current suffering, be such a source of warmth and comfort.
They approached the Palace, as much as Sesshoumaru wanted to whisk the Hanyou to is bed, he could already see his uncle standing anxiously in the balcony. He could not put off the meeting any longer. “Inuyasha know this, no matter the outcome of this meeting you belong to me Hanyou. I know not what to say to prepare you for this meeting, except to say that while he is strange, he is a good person and he truly did not know.” Sesshoumaru said simply. “Kitsune as soon as we land you will stand on your own feet and walk like a proper demon. Understand?” Shippo nodded, he was still not sure what was happening but he was fairly certain that the Lord liked his Inu Nii-chan and maybe someone would finally protect his big brother.
