~~~~~


**Quickly but carefully as if walking on eggshells I ran out of the room and the castle rushing towards the west to my castle so that I could nurse my future mate back into heath... and so I could finally, after decades of being denied what was mine, claim my mate.

My love... my mate... my lover... my brother...

He will bear my pups just as he was indented.

And he would love no matter if he did not wish it... even though I knew he did...**

----Inu's pov----

I felt warm... I wanted to wake up. I had this weird feeling in my gut that I should wake up. But then there was this almost silent voice that I could barely hear... I stained to hear it more clearly. It was so silent... almost as if it wasn't there, or was it that I wasn't there? Again I tried harder, trying to hear the voice and it felt like I was running towards it because I felt out of breath... and the warmth soon turned too warm... hot, I was burning up. So hot... but nothing could stop me, it was as if I wasn't in control of my body... harder, I strained my hearing more and that’s when it started to make since...

>"... you need your rest. You need to calm yourself so you can get better... You need to get better so that our fates can become one... Rest, calm yourself, you have a fever and it won't go down if you don't not calm yourself..."<

-Am I sick?-... I ask myself. The voice was still there calmingly talking, saying that I need to get better; that I need to heal. -Am I hurt?-... To me right now I was more confused than any other time in my life... but for some reason I felt that I could trust this mysterious voice that called out to me... Why? I do not know? Whose the voice belong to?... Kagome... =No!= - She would never come back for me... and even if she did my youkai would have sensed her and killed her even while I was asleep...-

It became calm, the voice I could no longer hear... even though I knew it was still there telling me that I need to get better, that I need to heal so that our fates could intertwine. I relaxed greatly and slowly but surely, the heat vanished... but I knew it would make its self known if I was not to be careful in the future...

-Future... will our fates really intertwine?... if they do... Why? Who are you?... you sound so familiar...-

That was my last thought as I slipped into a calm, light sleep... but I did not dream of anything for quite awhile... but then my love showed up...


----Sess's pov----

When we had arrived at the castle no one even knew that anyone arrived until they caught my sent an hour after I had entered my quarters with my young wounded mate in my arms. On the way he had struck into a fever that scared me... that actually scared me. I had heard many rumors as I grew up about human servants of the castle go into a fever and they never came out, in time they were killed because there was nothing that could be done; that did not scare me as much, for I knew that my brother was half-youkai as well as half-human.

But it was the fever that had struck him when he was younger and when my father still alive. He had gone out into one of the near by fields to play with a cat-youkai that father had found in the rain not a week before... (it much resembled the one that had caught up with me at the castle not an hour and a half after we arrived. I knew it to be the same one that traveled with my mate so I let her enter). I was told that father wanted to see me and we had a long discussion about the surrounding territories and alliances that we should make. But as we talked, Inuyasha, not older than 6 played in the field that lay in view of the window but we were too engrossed with our discussion that we saw nothing.

The kitten was playful but luckily its poison hadn't developed yet; that being the reason father let him spar with the kit so much. But they must have walked into a patch of highly poisonous plant that only affected humans other wise that plant would have been removed from the fields...

**---Flash Back---** my first fb... bare with me!!!

**Inuyasha ran faster as he felt his small kit friend catching up to him. He laughed when he felt something land on his tiny shoulder and claws dig into his haori... coming to a stop panting, his little lungs pumping air in and out of his youthful body. Some thing that tickled his nose, engulfing his senses and he felt suffocated and he collapsed to his hands and knees... breathing coming even harder he felt his body shaking...

His stomach lurched and bile rose in his throat, opening his mouth his stomach lurched again causing all its contents to shoot up and out of his mouth landing with a slash on the grass under him. He coughed a couple of times trying to get the thick, chunky substance out of his breathing passage and the horrible taste out of his mouth. After heaving a couple of times he began to cry out at the aching feeling that seeped into his bones, clutching his sides he fell into the grass just missing the bile that had crept it's way out of him...

Sweat consumed his body, the pain pulsed with its own heartbeat, shaking and rattling his bones, his breathing still heavy and the vile taste in his mouth was blocked out by a stench that over ran all of his senses. His vision suddenly disappeared leaving him in an ultimate darkness... he soon was passed out into unconsciousness.

**;;In the castle;;**

**The den was quiet as the two youkai stared at each other with an unwavering look of dominance over their past conversation. The older of the two narrowed his golden eyes at his son's attempt to one him up on some thing that he practiced constantly with his younger brother. But the older male knew that his son would not win... the younger one also knew this but he would not so easily give up a challenge when one came across especially held to him by his father. They were just about to start throwing empty threats at one another to heat up the argument when...

The tall wooden doors of the door slammed open, the two youkai jumped from their seats and reeled their heads to the intruder, their claws already seeping poison... but they quickly lowed their claws as they only saw it was Inuyasha's mother, Izayoi. The taller, much older youkai sighed and sat back down and waved for the young human woman to come forward. The younger youkai stared at her sensing that something was amiss.

Izayoi just stood there staring at the two youkai; her hair was slightly tousled, her silken kimonos hanging over her shoulders and wrinkled, her eyes were frantic, and her breathing irregular. Inutaisho stood quickly back up and as if like lightning was by her side in a mere nano-second causing her to jump and loose her balance but he caught her easily. Sesshomaru still stood where he had but he listened intently and his eyes slightly widened at what he was hearing.

"I can't find him! I've looked all over and no one has seen him since earlier in the morning! I fear for his life! Milord, please! I can not loose him! I won't be able to live with out him! He is my only child... I need him!" Izayoi said ecstatically, wringing her fingers and her eyes frantic with emotions. Her eyes leaking unknown tears that she didn't even notice until Inutaisho wiped the tears from her eyes with the pads of his thumbs. She fell into his arms and began to cry hysterically, sobs shook her small frame like thunder shook the earth when lightning struck.

Inutaisho held her and patted her hair, his gaze was unwavering as he looked back at where his oldest son stood, silently telling him what he should do and what he himself was going to do. Sesshomaru just nodded and slowly gracefully walked out of the den and down the hall to the main stair case that led to the front foyer. He then threw open both the giant wooden double doors and rushed down the steps, before disappearing with speed unseen to the naked eye and reappearing in the fields out in front of the castle gates.

Sesshomaru looked carefully around him and took in all the scents that were brought to him by the wind; he quickly shifted through all the scents and detected his little half-brother's. He rushed toward where the scent trail led. He caught sight of what seemed like a red and silver blob on the ground a little ways a head; nearing the small mass of red and moon-light silver, Sesshomaru suddenly stopped at cringed at the scent of bile and a strange scent that he couldn't identify but he knew he recognized it and knew it was not a pleasant scent.

He walked up to his younger half-brother's body that lay sprawled out across the ground his mouth hanging open just over a puddle of thick bile. Sesshomaru grimaced again but he knew better than to abandon the young hanyou in this state. He shakily reached out one of his hands to hover over the hanyou's forehead already feeling the heat that rose from it, but he continued; fascinated at how soft the hanyou's skin looked and how sensual it looked covered in a light sheen of sweat. Lightly he brushed the damp bangs out of the view of his brother's young round face, the pads of his fingers just barely touched Inuyasha's forehead. As if burned by the flames of Purgatory themselves he hand drew back just as quickly as the touch had been; the young hanyou had leaned into the cool fingers that had rid his skin of the unbearable heat and had moaned at the feeling of fire meeting ice.

Sesshomaru stared as the young hanyou searched for something with his head, he looked down at his hand then back to his younger half-brother. He carefully replaced his hand on the forehead of the youth; Inuyasha leaned into the hand that covered his forehead and let out a small whimper as to tell the one who the hand belonged to know that he was in pain and needed their help. Slowly the small hanyou moved his lean body around the knee of the kneeling person.

Sesshomaru let out a breath that he hadn't even know he was holding. Moving his hand so that it cradled the nape of his younger half-brother's neck and moved the other one hand under his knees and brought the smaller frame to his body. Inuyasha snuggled into his arms to further himself from the scorching pain of the fire that had made its home in his body.

Without even realizing it Sesshomaru was already running back to the castle by the time he realized it he was already standing in the front foyer and his father was just coming down the main stairs. Once Inutaisho saw his sons he was next to them in a flash and he looked into the emotionless eyes of his oldest son. He sighed and looked down to his younger son checking him over and sniffing for any injuries... he grimaced at the strong smell of bile that lay upon his younger son. He shook his head and reached out his arms to take the young boy from his older son; after hooking one of his arms around the small hips of Inuyasha and the other under his neck but when he started to pull back so that he could get his son to bed... but he wouldn't move.

Inutaisho looked at Sesshomaru but he wasn't looking at him, he was looking down at the young hanyou so he turned his gaze too and what he saw he couldn't help but smile... Inuyasha had entangled his hands into Sesshomaru's haori, had gotten one of his legs rapped in the obi that held up Sesshomaru's hakama, and his other leg was caught on one of the spikes on Sesshomaru's armor. But what surprised him the most was the fact that Sesshomaru was holding tight to Inuyasha... and he looked like he had no idea that he was even doing it by the almost lost and confused look in his eyes.

Inutaisho smiled and stepped back while his hands tucked into his sleeves and he watched as Sesshomaru thought about how he was going to react or what he was going to do. He watched Sesshomaru's face... mostly his eyes. "What shall you do now Sesshomaru?"

This must have surprised his son because his body stiffened slightly. Sesshomaru thought for a second and then leaned slightly down and took a whiff of the sent of his brother before he righted himself and turned to his father. "He has a fever..."

This stopped Inutaisho dead in his tracks... he looked from his eldest son's eyes the small frame of Inuyasha in his arms. He then glared at Sesshomaru and rushed off towards Inuyasha's room his oldest son not far behind.**

**--- End Flash Back ---** hmm... it wasn't that bad... -_-;;

---- Sess's pov ----

It was two weeks before he came out of his fever then... and as I stare at him now I know that it'll never happed again. He slipped out of his fever awhile ago and this calmed me some... but he was still hurt and he had lost a lot of blood. I knew now that I wouldn't leave his side for more than 5 seconds... and even that was too long for me to be away from him.

I sat in a chair neck to the bed where he lay; he was sleeping deeply and once and a while he would whimper in pain and I would just pet his hair or rub his ears earning little mewls and moans. But they were not of pain... but of pleasure. I figured out that his ears and his neck were his weak spots...

I sat there watching him for hours... servants would often come in with food for me and some liquid for him that the castle healer had sent up since he could not come up here himself because of the many servants that haven't taken well to the weather change. It doesn't bother me because I've lived in the castle my whole life and have gotten use to the dramatic weather changes throughout the year, but there is also the fact that most youkai aren't effected by the weather... they just move to a spot that suits their powers more.

It's snowing right now... the cold will not make it into the room though. The castle is built to keep out the cold in winter and keep in the warm, and stay cool in the summer and keep out the heat. With mountains to the east of the castle the vegetation is very plentiful from all the clouds that seem to blow our way from the mountains. Most of the streams around this area come from the snow-melt run-off that slides down from the mountains... but that fine because it does tend to get hot in the summers and I've heard that most of the servants will go swimming in the run-off when their chores are done.

"Sesshomaru?..."

My eyes shot up and scanned the room... Was I so deep in my thoughts that I didn't hear someone enter? And why would they use my name so formally? Do they have a death wish? Do they not see that I'm with my mate...? I stopped. Frozen. I turn my gaze to the bed where my mate would surely be asleep... but my thoughts were correct... There Inuyasha sat... he was staring at me with confused eyes, his hands gripping the comforter for dear life, his hair was in its usual matted mess, and his sleeping yukata was loose and one side was hanging off his shoulder, reveling the perfectly tanned skin that lay under it.

"Inuyasha..."
