Sesshoumaru sat looking up at the ceiling. Aveline was out cold with a smile on her face. He was still wide awake with wonder in his eyes.

“How the hell did that happen?”

He whispered out loud and then looked at his mate in confusion. Sesshoumaru had rutted all night long plus into the day and she wore him out. Aveline beat him at the one thing he thought no one could best him at. He wanted to know why, but Sesshoumaru didn’t wake up his mate. She looked to beautiful sleeping and he couldn’t help staring at her.

Sesshoumaru could still smell her arousal and he was too tired to do anything about it although his demon was on cloud nine from getting what it wanted. He wasn’t done though in his mind. This could not be, but he couldn’t move to save his life. His body was that worn out.

The phone rang and Sesshoumaru had to crawl to get to it. He had claw marks in good places this time and he felt like he went running for days with no rest.

“What do you want Inuyasha?”

Sesshoumaru stated in an irritated voice as he flopped on the floor. Why had he moved? Now he couldn’t remember except for the sound of the phone ringing irritated him.

“So, how did it go? Did you get the roses and stuff? Did it work?”

Inuyasha asked.

“Is that the only fucking reason you called Inuyasha?”

Sesshoumaru stated with a groan.

“Of course you idiot. Why else would I call?”

Inuyasha stated with impatience. He wanted to know if it worked since Kagome was still pissed off about him not buying roses for her when Inuyasha would do that for his brother to help him score with his mate. Inuyasha was sat and then had to go out to make up for his fauxpas.

“It was fine, but it did not matter. I still got what I wanted without it. Thank you for the thought Inuyasha. I am going to hang up now.”

Sesshoumaru went to hang up.

“No, don’t hang up. Tell me did she like the flowers or not? Kagome wants to know and did I do ok on the pizza? I didn’t know what kind she would eat so I bought all five different kinds on their list.”

Inuyasha stated and Sesshoumaru hung up anyway. He was too damn tired to answer and had to crawl back up to the bed. It was like an effort to get back in. When he looked at the date on his watch he could not believe that the day was almost over already.

“Aveline, are you awake?”

Sesshoumaru asked as Aveline had rolled over taking most of the blankets again. Pulling them and her back Sesshoumaru wrapped his mate in his arms. Sesshoumaru couldn’t help smiling. He was at least happy they were not fighting any more.

“No, I am just talking to hear myself. You have been up talking to people on the phone and to yourself. Was that your little brother?”

Aveline stated yawning and smiling. He was damn good, but too worn out to do more as she played with that sexy chest and long hair.

“Yes it was.”

Sesshoumaru stated trying hard to stay awake as he yawned cuddling her closer.

“What did he want?”

Aveline stated wrapping one leg around her mate. Hell, if he could push her around to force her to become his mate she was going to torment him for a while longer.

Sesshoumaru couldn’t believe Aveline wanted him still and that he couldn’t do a damn thing about it yet.

“He wanted to know if we liked the pizza and if you liked the flowers.”

Aveline pushed Sesshoumaru onto his back and smirked at him.

“You never took the silk shirt off of me.”

Sesshoumaru smiled up at his mate liking for once that she was teasing him back this time. Still he didn’t think he could do it again.

“That is true.”

Aveline started kissing Sesshoumaru softly and then ran her fingers down his chest. As he started to notice perhaps he was wrong about his prowess his lovely mate jumped off of him to go get pizza.

“I am hungry, come on lazy but.”

Sesshoumaru grabbed his mate who was trying to leave him after teasing him. She wasn’t going to get away with that twice.

“I am too, but not for pizza yet.”

Aveline squealed as Sesshoumaru pulled her back under the blankets and this time the silk shirt was toast as he continued to have his wicked way with her.
*************************************************************************************
Inuyasha frowned at the phone. He couldn’t believe that Sesshoumaru couldn’t even bother to tell him about the stuff he bought to help him out. What a jerk.

Kouga knocked on the door looking rather put out.

“What do you want wolf? You look like you have been kicked in the balls.”

Inuyasha stated as Miroku pushed past Kouga through the door jumping up and down with some great news with a new slap on his face.

“I am getting married! Sango said yes and guess what? She is pregnant. High fives all around guys, I am going to have my son!”

Kouga looked at Miroku like he wanted to punch him in the nose.

“Yeah, thanks a lot pervert. You cursed us all. Ayame is pregnant too and I have to marry her again now that you announced yours to the whole damn planet. She was so pissed off at me she is at her Mother’s house until I buy her a ring again damn you. You had to buy Sango the biggest fucking diamond on the planet.”

Inuyasha then rubbed the back of his neck.

“Um, you can have one of the adamant shards too Kouga. Do you really think the pervert could afford a ring like that?”

Kouga looked at Inuyasha like he was going to smack him across the back of the head.

“You have diamonds and you are not sharing them with your friends? What kind of an asshole are you mutt face? Where is the love?”

Inuyasha laughed.

“Hey, I can only do them during an attack and how long has it been? I mean I have hundreds of thousands of them stashed away, but getting to them is a pain in the ass when Sesshoumaru is the one in charge of our vaults.”

Throwing a shard to Kouga out of his safe Kouga smiled. It was damn big.

“No wonder you both are loaded.”

Inuyasha shrugged.

“Just don’t tell Kagome, she thinks we are just supposed to live within our means. I have to limit our budget due to Sesshoumaru’s stupid accounting. The guy knows when something is missing and he will claw it out of you if you don’t tell him where it all went. Still, this was kind of a gift since I helped him out so you can have it. I have a ton more. I just once in a while have to ask Sess to open the vault.”

Kouga tried then to figure out how he was going to get a jeweler to cut this thing down so not only could he have enough money for the wedding, a house, as well as a few other cool things, and a ring. Kouga wanted to really do something special for Ayame too since he was working his ass off unlike some free loaders he knew. Mainly his roommate Miroku the sponge who now was in his own place making Kouga think he had to find another roommate. What jerks!

“You could have helped us much sooner with this you know. Your brother and you are stingy.”

Inuyasha frowned.

“Fine, then give it back you wimpy ass wolf.”

Kouga snagged it back from Inuyasha.

“No, mutt face I am keeping it. You can’t take a gift back you jerk. You just could have let me know. I was living with pervert boy here all this time and you didn’t even bother to tell me you were making all your money off of these things you mutt faced liar.”

Inuyasha frowned.

“Kouga, you can’t just go around telling people you have diamonds or they will come here making me have to kill people. You know how Kagome is about keeping our house clean and organized. If I had blood on any of the carpets she would sit me until I can’t walk anymore.”

Kouga smirked.

“You are so whipped.”

Inuyasha looked at Kouga rolling his eyes.

“So are you asshole. So what happened? You guys just decided not to count the dates or are you just trying to make life harder on yourselves. Well, except for Miroku who has wanted to do this since the day I met him. If he could bear his own son he would have by now. I am surprised with all the women he has asked to bear his child that he doesn’t have bastard children all over the place.”

Miroku wiggled his eyebrows.

“Maybe I do, just don’t tell Sango that.”

Inuyasha smacked Miroku in the arm.

“Shut up you pervert jerk. Just because you go after anything with two legs and a pretty face doesn’t mean you are right.”

Miroku and Kouga laughed.

“Well at least he didn’t go after a dead clay woman wanting to go to hell with her.”

Miroku stated and Inuyasha punched him only to have the three of them start fighting like three kids on the floor. Soon the door was opened and in walked in Sesshoumaru with his mate in one of his silk shirts with a big grin on his face.

“You told me this place was empty and no one was home you liar!”

Aveline growled as she struggled to get out of Sesshoumaru’s grip.

“Wow, he did do well for himself.”

Miroku stated and Sesshoumaru looked at the monk like if he moved he would die.

“Don’t even think about moving monk or I will make sure your groping hand doesn’t work permanently.”

Aveline got out of Sesshoumaru’s arms feeling self conscious hiding behind him.

“All of you turn around please before I have to rip your heads off.”

Inuyasha’s jaw was on the floor since he hadn’t met Sess’s mate yet. Kouga just smirked and Miroku was forced by Kouga to turn around. Inuyasha then was whacked on the back of his head to do the same thing.

“Kagome should have something you can use for now until I can buy you something better.”

Sesshoumaru took Aveline into Kagome’s room. Everything was too small. Kagome had to be some tiny little thing.

“Nothing will fit me.”

Inuyasha started laughing and Kouga smirked.

“Don’t look to me for help either pal. Ayame is tiny like Kagome and so is Sango. You forget they are Japanese not American. Most Japanese women are smaller than American women and that is definite these three. Ayame is closer, but she is a wolf demoness. Your mate is taller then she is so your shirt is just right for her for now bean pole.”

Sesshoumaru came out and lifted Kouga with his mind power bashing his head on the ceiling for insulting him again.

“When will you ever learn wolf?”

Inuyasha stated looking at his friend who was now sitting on the floor with a headache as he helped him up. Miroku frowned.

“Can I turn around now?”

Aveline hid behind Sesshoumaru again.

“Yes you may now. Aveline you cannot hide behind me forever. Come sit on the couch and I will find a solution for you. We three men will go shopping.”

Aveline looked at him like he lost his mind. First off, he couldn’t cook so how the hell was he going to try to shop for clothing for her? He didn’t even know her size. They were in Japan now and he planned on taking them all back to America to the hotel. What the hell was she going to do and that damn teleporting crap practically froze her to death.

“You will certainly not and you can’t leave me yet remember your stupid spell or did you forget that? Plus you are guys. Do you really know what size I need or what women wear besides your own girlfriends who are petite tiny things obviously? I am probably the jolly green giant next to them. Thanks a lot for making me feel insecure Mr. Sesshoumaru Tashio the jerk of the universe.”

Inuyasha bust up laughing and Kouga couldn’t get up from the floor. Miroku was too busy trying to figure out how to look into that shirt wishing he had x-ray vision. Still he blatantly stared at her legs and it didn’t matter how many times Sesshoumaru would strangle him for it. It was like Miroku had pervert disease that was incurable.

“Fine, we will call the women.”

Kouga and Miroku shook their heads no.

“We can’t. We asked our women to marry us and it is against tradition to see them until the wedding. You will have to make Inuyasha get Kagome to do it.”

Sesshoumaru looked at the two men like they either lost their minds or they finally did something right. No one could ever tell except Inuyasha since most of the time Sesshoumaru had the same expression on his face as he always did. It was the eyes and the two idiots never understood that.

“Sess don’t kill them. Their women are pregnant and they now have to get married not that they were not going to anyway.”

Sesshoumaru nodded and sat down with his mate.

“When does Kagome get off of work?”

Inuyasha sat next to Sesshoumaru and growled that it was time for the other two to leave. Kouga and Miroku got the point leaving telling the guys goodbye, but Kouga still had to push Miroku out the door. It was the first time the Monk didn’t have a whole monologue to tell them and was quiet. It was not a good thing for him if he wanted to stay alive.

“In an hour, so what is your name?”

Inuyasha stated as he turned back into his silly eared self.

“Aveline, you are Inuyasha! Oh my gosh! You have the ears! I thought that was just a cartoon and Sesshoumaru here was just pulling a fast one on me.”

Aveline pushed past Sesshoumaru. She had to touch them. It was an addiction she was sure of any woman who saw that cute face with those puppy ears.

“You are so cute I love these.”

Sesshoumaru pulled Aveline off Inuyasha who was smirking enjoying the attention as well as looking into her shirt.

“You did really well for yourself big brother. Want to share mates?”

Inuyasha stated wiggling his eyebrows at Aveline getting a low growl from Sesshoumaru.

“No, and no we cannot keep him either Aveline. He will not be your pet even if you love his ears. That is Inuyasha’s charm. That is about it since Inuyasha has no tact.”

Inuyasha smiled.

“That ain’t true; don’t listen to my brother too much. He has a stick up his ass. Still, sorry about having to call on your job and get you fired. Sesshoumaru said he would kill me…………”

Aveline finished the sentence rolling her eyes.

“If you didn’t do it, yes I have seen the cartoon. It is apparent he is indeed like the character on the show and so are you. He threatens to kill you all the time and doesn’t.”

Sesshoumaru sighed.

“I am not like that cartoon. That was a mistake right Inuyasha?”

Inuyasha swallowed hard.

“Yes, anyway…………”

Sesshoumaru got up from the couch and gave Inuyasha a look to stay put.

“I must use the bathroom. Where is it?”

Inuyasha pointed to it and Sesshoumaru nodded.

“Aveline, how did he do it?”

Aveline looked confused.

“Do what?”

Inuyasha then rolled his eyes.

“You know, get you to like him. I mean he is pushy and I heard you hated him.”

Aveline smiled.

“Oh that, I said ok after he tricked me with his blood spell since I couldn’t leave. I still hate him, but I like his body. So I used it.”

Inuyasha started laughing.

“So are you going to marry him?”

Aveline frowned and twiddled her fingers a bit.

“I kind of have to since we are stuck together now since he tricked me and lied. It wasn’t fair, but I can still use his body and so I figure it is a fair trade. I will torment him for the rest of his life for this. It will work out smashingly.”

Inuyasha was rolling in laughter then Aveline scooted closer to check out his ears.

“Can I touch ‘em again?”

Aveline smiled and Inuyasha looked at that lovely face.

“You can do anything you want to me babe.”

Aveline kneeled up unable to resist. Sesshoumaru came out of the bathroom trying to decide if he should kill his brother or laugh. Inuyasha’s ears were definitely chic magnets as Kouga described. Nothing could beat them when it came to women.

“Inuyasha you know that bringing out the ears is not a fair thing to do. Put them away.”

Sesshoumaru stated softly.

“No, I want his to show since you have your furry blanket with you all the time. It is not fair to ask him to put his things away if you do not do the same thing.”

Aveline smiled knowing this was irritating Sesshoumaru as she climbed onto Inuyasha’s lap. Who didn’t fight this at all smiling at her ignoring his older brother knowing this was pissing him off. He loved to help anyone piss off Sesshoumaru especially if it was a beautiful female.

“Get off his lap woman.”

Sesshoumaru snarled as he sat on the couch pulling his mate with a squeak onto his lap.

“I was just playing with him. He is your younger brother right and he is just a kid. It isn’t like he is married or anything.”

Inuyasha turned red and Sesshoumaru smiled.

“He is married and to Kagome. He is also not a little boy anymore. Inuyasha is 729 years old. He also has a son and a child on the way.”

Aveline smirked.

“Oh, so he is just a flirt like me. Cool, we will have a lot of fun then getting to know each other since we are both stuck with you. Is Kagome ok with your flirting Inuyasha or does she sit you? Is that what these are for?”

Aveline stated fingering the pretty beads.

“Yes those are to sit me with and no she hates it when I flirt. Still she understands it too since I don’t usually do such things. You are special though and you are my sister in law so I have to. Sesshoumaru needs this just as much as he needed you.”

Sesshoumaru frowned ignoring the conversation pulling Aveline closer so his little brother couldn’t touch her too much. Aveline though was causing him hell.

“I want to see if I can take them off.”

Inuyasha bent his head down and Aveline took them right off.

“Hey I can take them off. Why didn’t you do that for your brother you big jerk? No one likes to be under anyone’s control. These are slave trinkets. You are not a slave any more. Destroy them oh great perfect killer of all things. That was a compliment Sesshoumaru.”

Sesshoumaru looked at the beads debating on destroying them or putting them on Aveline.

“Fine, but do not think that this means you are free of me Inuyasha.”

Sesshoumaru crushed them in his hands until there was nothing except dust. Then he handed the dust to Inuyasha.

“Do what you will with this mess. I suggest burning it rather than burying it somewhere little brother. If you burry it they may reform.”

Inuyasha started up his fireplace and threw the dust into it.

“Thanks, I hate those things. Kagome is going to be so pissed, but it hurts to be sat so much.”

Sesshoumaru cocked his head.

“I thought they connected you and that you loved your collar. That is why you let them return to you.”

Inuyasha frowned.

“That was before you and I went out to the club. After that and with Kagome’s recent mood swings with this pregnancy I think my back will be out in a week.”

Sesshoumaru smiled and watched his mate knead her claws in his tail. It was cute while one hand raveled itself in his long silvery hair.

“So I am only good for my body? I can live with that.”

Sesshoumaru stated to his tiny mate since to him she was very small and adorable right now. She looked like a wild haired child playing with his hair and fur.

“Yes, it is nice and you have all these cool toys attached to you.”

Aveline stated smiling up only to receive a very genuine kiss of gratitude.

“You have nice toys too. We will play with them later. I wish to take you out to a nice place and show you the city here in Tokyo. Inuyasha showed me much of America and Tokyo so there are many places I wish to explore with you.”

Inuyasha watched the two feeling a bit jealous. He and Kagome were not ever like that even in the beginning. They were constantly fighting, but it was also wonderful since Kagome did indeed love him as he was. Plus he loved their kids. It was just hard because Kagome would die before him and their kids too. Sesshoumaru would have Aveline for an eternity since she was a demon like he is.

“So is Kagome a half demon too?”

Aveline asked and Inuyasha looked down.

“No, she is human.”

Sesshoumaru sighed and pat his brother on the back.

“Things will work out. You will see. Did you ever think about biting her or even trying to share your blood? Maybe you could try. Kagome is not like Izayoi and might bend. You never know Inuyasha unless you try.”

With that Inuyasha got up stretching and smiled.

“Thank you Sess, I will see if that works. If not I am still happy. I have a family and our friends will too. Things are not so bad. Please excuse me.”

Aveline nodded and leaned against Sesshoumaru resting. He was a great pillow except for his hard chest. Why was all of his hair and fluff soft yet he was harder then steel? It was nice to look at and touch. Just no very comfortable to lean against when he had cloths on. His skin was soft though and smelled nice.

Sesshoumaru smiled and held his mate closely. If she thought she could torment him all his life he was ready for it. He was no longer alone and he was happy. That was all that mattered. Love would come and in some ways if this was all he felt in having a mate was then it was good.
