A Tale For The Holidays

Sleigh Ride

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring-ting-tingling too,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.


Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, just holding your hand;
We're riding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land.


Our cheeks are nice and rosy,
And comfy cozy are we,
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be,
Let's take that road before us,
And sing a chorus or two,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.


There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray,
It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day,
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop,
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop; Pop! Pop! Pop!


There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy,
When they pass around the chocolate
And the pumpkin pie,
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives,
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives!


Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring-ting-tingling too,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.


Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,

For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Whoa!

Rin was able to get Sobo Kaede to drink down some chicken broth as the old woman fussed at being babied like this. She had been through worse conditions than this and still had the strength to go out and heal people.

“Now Sobo Kaede don’t rush, your cold is getting better so we don’t want to make it worse by having you go out in this cold yet.”

Sobo Kaede looked at the young woman who was helping her and had to feel some pride that she had taught Rin the healing arts.

“You are a fast learner Rin. I am impressed that you retained all that I and Jenenji have taught you about medicinal herbs and chicken broth. Is it snowing outside again? (Cough)”

Rin nodded.

“Today has been the worst for everyone so they have all gone inside to wait out this blizzard. I worry for Aun. He is an old dragon and I know he doesn’t do well with cold weather.”

Sobo Kaede nodded.

“Perhaps he can stay in that cave where Onigumo resided in at least until the storm settles.”

Rin nodded and excused herself as she rushed to Miroku and Sango’s house where Kohaku was visiting his family.

“Kohaku can I borrow Kirara? I need to get Aun out of the snow. Sobo Kaede said there is a cave not far from here and I would like to make sure he stays somewhere safe.

Sango and Miroku knew where the cave was, but were unsure that the evil aura that had been there was still lingering.

“We should go with you. Kirara and Aun should be able to carry us it will just be slow going back with all of us on Kirara.”

Kirara went outside and changed forms while Rin untied the two headed dragon from the tree she had tethered him to.

“Come Aun, we are going to take you somewhere safe until this blizzard is over.”

Aun nodded its heads in understanding and was grateful to their ward since the blizzard was really hurting its joints.

Kohaku and Rin rode on Aun while Sango and Miroku traveled on Kirara as Aun followed the two tail neko to a good sized cave that was covered over in snow. Aun had its muzzles released so that it could fire his lightning powers at the snow to make room for himself as well as the others.

Kirara landed first and waited for Miroku and Sango to check the cave just in case it may be occupied by other animals who were trying to find shelter from the snow.

The lingering smell of evil had disappeared and the spot where Onigumo once laid was now covered in dead grass as though he had never been in there. For all intents and purposes the cave was clean.

Rin pulled Aun into the cave and the dragon followed finding it to be quite comfortable inside as he raised his heads in thanks and curled up onto the cave floor to rest.

“We had better get back Rin before it gets any worse.”

Kohaku stated as he grasped her hand and helped her onto Kirara as everyone climbed on. The fiery neko flew into the air and although her burden was great she easily floated back to the village in good time since the wind was getting a bit harder to push through when they landed.

“Rin would you like to come inside?”

Miroku offered since they knew Sobo Kaede was resting.

“Sure, but I cannot be long since I need to keep checking with Sobo Kaede to insure that her cough gets better.”

Kohaku took Rin’s hand and pulled her inside of the small crowded house. There was a small fire burning and a large stack of wood to keep it going for the next few days. Everyone huddled against the fire except for Miroku and Sango’s kids who were playing a game of marbles quietly in the far side of the house.

“I hope that this blizzard doesn’t last for days. Kohaku and I are expected to go back to tell Inuyasha and Kagome that Sobo Kaede is doing well now that we have fought off the worst part of her cold. I am sure they are concerned about Sobo Kaede’s health.”

Kohaku nodded in agreement.

Sango in some ways was glad they were snowed in since she really missed her Otouto. Kohaku had changed so much and has become a fine young man who for a long time was a lost little boy that had to deal with the horrors of his actions as Naraku used him for his evil purposes. It is a good thing that he was trying to be a good man not only for himself, but for Rin. Kohaku really loved the young girl who had blossomed into a lovely young woman.

“So how long do you think you will both have to wait to be married?”

Miroku asked the young couple.

“Well, after I have trained with Lord Sesshoumaru’s guards and after Lord Sesshoumaru helps me amass enough wealth to rebuild the taijiya village. I am hoping he will let Rin and I marry before next Christmas since he said something along the lines of having us wait at least a year before we marry to insure that this is something that we want to do.”

Sango was kind of sad that Kohaku would be living with Sesshoumaru for a year, but was happy with the time she was able to spend with him.

“I hope we can marry at the castle since the gardens are so pretty there. All the flowers bloom and stay that way for many days thanks to the fairies magick.”

Kohaku smiled at Rin and pulled her close to him so they could get warmer both of them hoping to be together soon since they wanted to start a family of their own rather than watch Sango and Miroku have so many children while they waited patiently to be together.

Rin stayed against Kohaku until she had to check up on Sobo Kaede. Kohaku also bid Miroku and Sango goodnight as he went with Rin to check up on the old woman.

Kagome enjoyed the company of Sesshoumaru’s Haha who doted on Fuyuki like a happy Sobo. She told Kagome about Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru’s Chichi and that she still spoke to him through the Meidou stone that was encased on a beautiful necklace.

It was getting late and Kagome was ready to go home as she waited for Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru to come back from wherever they went.

Soon she saw them both with a smirking Sesshoumaru and a fuming Inuyasha.

“I said no tongues.”

Inuyasha grumbled as his face was bright red matching his kimono perfectly.

“Quit being such a big baby about it Otouto. You know that you liked it or you would have pushed me away from you unless you really are that weak.”

Inuyasha stormed away from his Ani. He didn’t want to talk to the bastard right now and he wasn’t sure if he did want to be Sesshoumaru’s mate since the asshole seemed to get what he wanted all the damn time. Maybe it was time to tell the jerk no and mean it.

“I am not a big baby and I ain’t weak you bastard. No means no Sesshoumaru, no doesn’t mean go ahead and do what you want asshole.”

Kagome and Lady Mitsuki couldn’t believe how red Inuyasha was from both being angry at his Ani and embarrassed at the same time.

Inuyasha had allowed Sesshoumaru to kiss him and Inuyasha felt himself swoon a bit towards his Ani as he felt Sesshoumaru deepen the kiss. Inuyasha was getting into it until Sesshoumaru’s tongue came out and licked his bottom lip only to probe his mouth with Inuyasha oblivious to what Sesshoumaru was trying to do to him until he pulled away cursing Sesshoumaru to the seven hells.

Now Inuyasha had an erection that wouldn’t go down and was just glad that his armor covered that area otherwise everyone would see the tent in his hakumas. He was just not ready to jump into things with Sesshoumaru so soon and Sesshoumaru was pushing his limits.

“Looks like there is trouble in paradise.”

Lady Mitsuki stated as she watched her Musuko and his mate fight. Kagome sighed. This was pretty normal for the two harakara. At least this time they did not have their swords drawn.

“It was nice to meet you my Lady. Kagome we are leaving now.”

Inuyasha stated as Lady Mitsuki reluctantly gave the pup back to his Haha.

At that Inuyasha and Kagome bowed to Lady Mitsuki as they started walking down the many steps.

Sesshoumaru leaned down and kissed his Haha on the cheek.

“Do not be a stranger Sesshoumaru. I want to see that pup and yours soon.”

Sesshoumaru sighed.

“I am sure you will Haha.”

At that Sesshoumaru followed Inuyasha and Kagome down the stairs where they would meet up with the driver of the carriage that would take them back home.

As everyone got into the carriage Inuyasha gave Sesshoumaru a dirty look and then took his Musuko from Kagome and pulled the pup into his arms. It was his turn to hold his pup. This wasn’t a free for all where everyone got to touch his Musuko. Biting a finger, Inuyasha allowed his pup to suckle the little bit of blood that he was going to share to make Fuyuki strong.

“Why are you feeding our baby your blood Inuyasha?”

Kagome stated looking slightly disgusted almost ready to take her Musuko back from her crazy Otto (husband).

“It is to make Fuyuki stronger. My asshole Ani does it to our pup also and I am going to make sure that he doesn’t corrupt Fuyuki like he did with Rin making her think he is perfect when he ain’t.”

Sesshoumaru frowned.

“I never claimed perfection that was Chichi’s choice when he named me and I am indeed a perfect killing machine. At least he didn’t pick a stupid name like Fuyuki.”

Inuyasha huffed.

“Whatever Sesshoumaru, he named me dog demon and that is supposed to be impressive? Do you have a clue what Yasha stands for? Female demon. I think that Chichi was either drugged or delirious to name me that and for the hundredth time Fuyuki is a good name. If you keep putting my Musuko’s name down like this I won’t let ya hold him again ya bastard.”

Sesshoumaru frowned. He would not put the pup’s name down again even if he hated it. Eventually he would find a good nickname for his Oi after the pup started understanding such things as nicknames.

Kagome sighed in annoyance since ever since the harakaras got into the carriage the two of them were at each other’s throats. Perhaps she was hasty on approving their mating if it was going to be like this all the time.

“Inuyasha, why did you not want me to kiss you with my tongue? We are dog demons and that is the proper way for dog demons to kiss.”

Inuyasha blushed and wished his stupid Ani would shut up about that whole mess.

“I am half human so I react differently to such things. To me it ain’t normal to kiss a guy and I ain’t ready for you to push me so fast into accepting such things until I am ready.”

Sesshoumaru sighed.

“Once again you are denying your instincts as a demon. You know if you keep doing this you will never understand your demon side and I thought that was something we were working on together. I doubt your demon side complained.’
“You said you were used to living around humans and learning things from them, but you never gave your demon self a chance. Eventually you are going to have to grow up and start being a man instead of a scared little boy.”

Inuyasha so wanted to punch his Ani right in the face. As if this stupid speech was going to win points for him. Sesshoumaru could preach to someone else who gave a damn. The asshole overstepped boundaries and he wasn’t going to talk Inuyasha out of being mad at him.

“I am so not talking to you right now ya flea bitten cat lover.”

Sesshoumaru smirked.

“You know Inuyasha, that if anyone is flea bitten it would be you since you were the one to inherit Mioga.”

Inuyasha growled.

“You are so damn lucky I am holding my pup right now asshole.”

With his claws Inuyasha tore through the fabric of the newly furnished silk seat while looking directly in his Ani’s eyes.

“Kagome, take your Musuko.”

Sesshoumaru growled out.

Inuyasha smirked this time.

“Hell no……….”

Inuyasha stated as he ripped through the fabric again with an evil grin on his face.

Kagome couldn’t believe this and grasped her baby since they were not going to fight with her little Fuyuki in one of their stupid arms.

“Inuyasha sit boy!”

Inuyasha was suddenly throne to the floor. Sesshoumaru took advantage of this and grasped his Otouto by the back of his neck. Opening the carriage door, Sesshoumaru jumped out with Inuyasha in tow as they floated down to the snow covered ground ignoring the wind and snow from the blizzard that had been going all day long.

After he landed he grasped Inuyasha by his kicking legs.

“Let me go ya bastard!”

Inuyasha yelled as Sesshoumaru hung Inuyasha upside down in the snow.

Sesshoumaru was pissed off. Those seats were expensive and that silk was a gift from Chichi. There was no other silk like it and he only hoped he could find the scroll that had the mending powers to fix it.

Dropping his Otouto into the snow Sesshoumaru waited for Inuyasha to get up.

Inuyasha soon pulled himself out of the snow and lunged at Sesshoumaru as Sesshoumaru simply dodged him.

“Too slow……”

Sesshoumaru taunted as his Otouto tried to punch his Ani.

Soon Inuyasha was getting worn out and cold. Sesshoumaru just stood there in the winter winds with his hair floating about him in waves unlike Inuyasha’s which was stuck to him like wet cold glue.

“Are you done Inuyasha?”

Inuyasha growled.

“No.”

Sesshoumaru sighed.

“You are cold and wet Inuyasha. Give up this futile battle before you become ill.”

Inuyasha snarled.

“I am part demon remember? Demons don’t get ill. That should make you happy right? That I am talking about my demon side since my human side to you is so fucking weak!”

Sesshoumaru shook his head.

“You really are a brat do you know that Inuyasha? You ruined my silk seats. Did you know that silk you tore your claws into was a gift to me from Chichi? It is not replaceable. If I was still the asshole you believe me to be you wouldn’t be alive right now. Now you have forced me to do something I never wanted to do to you.”

Inuyasha backed away as Sesshoumaru came closer. Unfortunately he couldn’t go far and was tripped by a branch buried in the snow falling flat on his ass.

“Take off your armor Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha shook his head no.

“I said take it off or I will do it for you.”

Inuyasha frowned, but took off the armor wondering if Sesshoumaru was going to give it back to him later.

In a flash Inuyasha was bent over Sesshoumaru’s knee like a naughty child. As Sesshoumaru pulled down Inuyasha’s hakumas Inuyasha freaked out.

“Please don’t rape me! I am sorry!”

Sesshoumaru heard the panic in the boy and cursed himself for having to do this, but it should have been done a long time ago.

“I am not going to rape you Inuyasha. I have not raped anyone in my life and I would not do so now.”

Inuyasha soon felt a whack on his bare bottom.

“Are you fucking serious?”

Inuyasha ground out.

Whack!

“Of course I am serious Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha shrugged.

At that Sesshoumaru spanked Inuyasha harder and harder, but Inuyasha didn’t cry out one time. Finally giving up on the disrespectful pup he stopped.

“It doesn’t hurt you know.”

Inuyasha stated as he remained still waiting for Sesshoumaru to do something impressive like actually hurt his ass.

“Than this tactic on you is useless, however I do know something you do not want me to do.”

That was when Inuyasha felt a tongue lick his ass.

“Oh shit……..no you don’t…………..”

Inuyasha stated as he started to freak out.

“Yes Inuyasha, I am going to give you pleasure and I know you will enjoy it even if you hate me right now.”

Sesshoumaru moved so that he had a firm grip on Inuyasha’s ass than slid one hand over the boy’s soft member.

“Stop molesting me already! I am sorry ok?”

Sesshoumaru smirked and continued his onslaught of licking, nibbling, and touching that firm little ass that was presented so nicely that if Sesshoumaru wanted to be a real bastard he could just fuck him raw.

Inuyasha panicked when Sesshoumaru slid under him and took Inuyasha into his mouth as he also removed his armor so that it wouldn’t cut up Inuyasha’s beautifully muscled bare thighs.

Ignoring the fact that his ass was freezing Inuyasha could only moan in pleasure as that warm mouth slid back and forth on his straining cock bringing him to the point of no return only to pull away.

“Shit! What the hell did you do that for?”

Inuyasha stated as he whimpered in protest.

Sesshoumaru pat Inuyasha’s ass and pulled up his hakumas.

“I think that is enough for today.”

Sesshoumaru stated calmly as he started putting on his armor.

“WHAT!”

Inuyasha couldn’t believe this shit. First his Ani spanks him and then threatens him with pleasure only to take it away. No fucking way Sesshoumaru was going to get away with this shit.

“Oh, I am done Inuyasha. Maybe we can do this again some other time, that is if you decide you like my tongue on you again. I do not force anyone to do anything unless they want it and you told me I violated you earlier with that kiss. I wouldn’t want to be accused of that again.”

Sesshoumaru secured the tassels on his armor.

“And what am I supposed to do about this?”

Inuyasha pointed at his still hard cock.

Sesshoumaru shrugged.

“Take care of it yourself I guess. But I wouldn’t want to do that too much out here lest it might freeze off.”

Inuyasha roared. He couldn’t stand his Ani right now. The fucker was a damn tease.

Pulling up his hakumas, Inuyasha put them back on and fixed the obi than grabbed his armor putting it back on while he muttered under his breath about assholes and their desires to give someone blue balls for the rest of their lives.

Inuyasha angrily stomped in the snow past his brother cursing him once again to the seven hells. In fact he thought his Ani was indeed a minion of one of those hells sent here to kill him and his sex life.

“Do you know where you are going Inuyasha?”

Inuyasha stopped and stood frowning at his brother.

“No.”

Sesshoumaru wanted to chuckle at his Otouto, but something said not to push it too much further or he would have hell to pay later.

“You will need to touch my person if you wish to get back quickly to the warmth of the castle. I don’t want to upset you by forcing you to do such a thing so it is completely up to you whether we walk through this blinding blizzard or if we fly.”

Inuyasha stopped allowing his Ani to put an arm around his waist as they lifted into the air.

“Just so you know I hate you.”

Sesshoumaru smirked at his Otouto.

“That is fine Inuyasha, just as long as you know I love you.”

Inuyasha ‘Kehed’ as he floated into the air with mokomoko wrapping about him like a giant fluffy scarf keeping his face and hands warm.
