A Conflict of Interest

—Remembering something done or "said."—

— “I choose her. If you don’t like it, don’t bother trying to bring me back.”



“You’re trying to get me killed.” Muhyou mumbled through numb lips, eyes wide with shock as her face paled. “Why do you want me?”



“We both want pups. You’re willing to give up most of them just for one just for their safety. I think you’d make a good bitch for the pups.” Inuyasha paused before turning and giving her a slight smile. “That and we’re both half-breeds. No offense, but Sesshomaru’s gonna have to swallow some pride to sleep with you. If he’s serious, he’ll respect my decision. You’re working in our militia anyway. Easier to keep an eye on you and ask for more pups if I get the need for them.” —



Muhyou sat on her heels before Sesshomaru, wondering if she was wise in her decision to return instead of running. She’d only seen the youkai lord at a distance, usually from the back of ranks. He’d been an intimidating figure even a far.



He was terrifying stewing in a rage that radiated to the female was enough to make her want to pull back her lips, tilt her face up, slink low on her belly, flip over onto her back and tuck her legs in.



It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Instead of being able to see his face while she reported, she wished he’d turn away. At least there was a chance of seeing what was going on behind those gold eyes with the hanyou. Sesshomaru was an enigma.



One that could end her life before she realized he’d moved.



She wasn’t a dominant female. Muhyou preferred to slink in the background and do what she was told. It was what kept her alive through most of her young life after her mother was caught and slaughtered in her century of adolescence.



What was I thinking when I applied to mother their pups? How could I sleep with him? He’d tear me apart! Rain and storm, I wish I had just ignored the fucken’ hanyou’s scent!



“He requests you.” Sesshomaru stated softly, his tone giving no clue to how he felt. His voice was deeper than she imagined, the rich sound coating her ear and refusing to be ignored. She fervently wished she could bow her head, but he was addressing her, so protocol dictated that she couldn’t. “Did he mention why?”



The youkai sentry’s mind blanked for a moment and the bi-colored eyes blinked as she tried to chase the response Inuyasha had given her. She kept her jaw firmly shut, knowing it would hang open mutely if she didn’t.



“I’m an inu-okami mix, Sesshomaru-sama.” Well, that doesn’t tell him much. CRAP. “He thinks I’ll be a good mother because I only want pups sired by you so they’ll be protected from people who would do them harm.” Stop talking! “He says if you’re serious, you’ll swallow your pride and screw me.” Oh, hell. Best way to fucken’ end a sentence EVER. “Sesshomaru-sama.” Well, I guess that went as well as expected.



The sentry noticed a muscle twitch in the youkai lord’s hand. It was the only hint that Sesshomaru wasn’t as calm and collected as he seemed. Which meant that she was in deeper shit than she thought.



Sesshomaru stared down at the female before him, not really seeing the multi-haired bitch through the red haze that was beginning to film over his vision. He’d been half expecting this proposition when the hybrid came reporting reeking of his brother.



He is testing me, is he? The youkai focused on keeping his breathing even and shallow. The cloying reek of her fear and discomfort making him nauseous.



It was obvious from the stink that the female gave off before him wasn’t any more thrilled with the hanyou’s behavior. Now he had to make a choice. He’d been ready to explain to the hanyou when he returned from his excursion, now he wanted to choke the little fool.



The older brother hadn’t been too concerned when Inuyasha went traipsing about their land. The hanyou was want to do that when he was upset with the youkai or just needed some time alone. He’d always returned a little after midnight or so.



It was tempting to let the damn fool just leave. At least he wouldn’t have to sleep with a twice-damned female.



Let him take a mate. I will track them down and destroy whatever little dream he has dared create without me. I will rend his pup and bitch right before I slit his worthless throat.



Red streams were bleeding into the whites of his eyes. His hair began to float, ruffling in the heat that radiated from the building vehemence. His lips peeled back from pink gums, breathe seething from between the clenched, jagged teeth.



The fusuma slammed open, Sesshomaru jerked towards the figure who was revealed, growling fiercely. Rin stepped through the frame, looking none too impressed with proof of Sesshomaru’s temper. She carefully closed the fusuma, taking a deep breath.



“Very frightening, Sesshomaru-sama. I don’t believe it scared me away when I was eight and I don’t think it’s going to work now.” The mother stated blandly, though there was the taint of fear in her scent.



The youkai let his anger go, smelling the little reptilian youkai on her. “Jaken disappeared to fetch you. I wonder who told him.”



His eyes flickered towards the pale youkai bitch who wore a resolved look on her face.



“Part of regulations state that all news must first go through Sesshomaru-sama’s left hand, Jaken-sama.” Muhyou stated crisply, as if her insides hadn’t melted and her own youkai form hadn’t been fighting to surface. What she didn’t mention is that all bad news went to Jaken and Inuyasha first so that they could break it to the youkai and fetch Rin if it was needed.



“Hnn.” Gold eyes narrowed suspiciously, but he turned his attention back to Rin.



“You must be the female that Inuyasha chose!” Rin ignored the youkai lord, walking to the kneeling female settling between the two youkai. “I’m Rin.”



“I am called Muhyou, Rin-sama. It is truly a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” Muhyou murmured, bowing carefully towards the female. To slight the human was to call down a wrath equal or worse to what she witnessed.



“Call me Rin and don’t speak so formally here! You’re going to have these two fool’s children, yes?” The human smiled with childlike innocence.



“Ah!” The youkai female couldn’t answer, jaw dropped in shock. Her body went rigid and her mind was wiped clean.



“That’s so good to hear!” She bustled on before turning to the incensed Sesshomaru. “When are you going to fetch Inuyasha back?”



“Where is Jaken?”



“Jaken is with Masayo, Kisara, and Uuryu. I couldn’t very well leave them alone while I attend to these matters.”



“Your husband is?”



“Busy.” She stated firmly, dark eyes challenging him to argue. “Why aren’t you going after Inuyasha, Sesshomaru-sama?”



I have given her too much leeway and now she thinks she can dictate my life. Sesshomaru fumed inwardly. What is it with those in my life thinking that they know better than I? You show some affection towards an individual and they run with it. It is extremely taxing to have to change my life and behavior every five minutes to appease them all. They sneak around and make a fool out of me at every turn.



Rin sensed the youkai’s temper building and mentally backpedaled. Of course, if she acted like a mother who knew best and Sesshomaru would fight her. The mother just wanted the youkai she respected and loved happy.



“Sesshomaru-sama. Do you love him?” She asked softly, shifting her body into a more obedient posture. She needed to steer the stubborn youkai into going after the hanyou. She’d deal with the younger brother later. How DARE he put all of them in this position?



Love must be the most troublesome concept that I have ever encountered! If I could travel back in time, I would rip out the throats of those who breathed it into being!



“If you don’t wish for children, please go and tell him.” Rin urged gently.



“Inuyasha-sama is just hurt and confused, Sesshomaru-sama. It feels to him as if you’re playing with his emotions by saying you’ll breed but refusing to pick a brood bitch.” Muhyou spoke up, careful to keep her tone low and respectful.



Sesshomaru felt another headache building and sighed deeply. Reason spoke easily to the youkai’s vast intellect. He stewed for a few heartbeats, leaving the females to hold their breath.



He rose slowly, treading slowly to the fusuma and exiting the goten.



---------------


Inuyasha sat on a fallen tree trunk, staring up at the blanket of stars. The youkai walked around the massive trunk and joined the hanyou, eyes turned up to gaze along with him.



“Muhyou could care less about pedigree.” The younger brother started.



“How do you know?”



“She’s a half-breed. Nothing she has will ever breed will be anything pure but mutt. Pretty stupid to obsess over something that isn’t going to ever going to happen.”



“You knew, then.”



“Fuck, Maru-nii. I met your mom. I know she’s a hard-ass for lineage. Give me some credit.” A soft sigh and the hanyou leaned against his brother slightly. “I’m a jackass. I let myself get all worked up.”



It was as close to an apology that the youkai would ever get from the stubborn brother and quirked a brow down at the shimmering head. “Can I have that in writing?”



The hanyou growled softly in mock threat and the youkai tugged the hanyou into his lap. Inuyasha straddled the youkai lord’s thighs, resting his arms on the thin shoulders and Mokomoko.



“I thought it would be more of a fight.” Sesshomaru admitted as the younger brother began to nuzzle his throat.



“Muhyou said a few things that made me stop and think.” He confessed to the saliva moist neck. He couldn’t really leave the youkai. He’d be worse then miserable if he did.



He’d be paranoid that the damn older brother would pop up and kill him.



“You’ll breed me an army?” Inuyasha inquired, nipping the soft underside of his brother’s jaw beseechingly.



“Yes.” Sesshomaru grunted after a breathe of silence. It was the closest thing to pouting that Inuyasha had seen from him yet. The clawed hand grabbed the hanyou’s pointed jaw firmly, forestalling any celebration and forcing to gold eyes to meet his. “You better have a plan to make this tolerable. You may find the bitch attractive, but she leaves much to be desired in my opinion.”



“We’ll manage. She already said she knows about your particulars. You can be as rough as you need to, so no worries.” Inuyasha pulled his face away and gave a slight smile. He ground his hips against the youkai lords lightly, drawing a soft rumble in response. Inuyasha suddenly blushed and coughed softly. He leaned into the youkai, lips brushing against the long ear as he spoke. “How could anyone be attractive after you?”



Sentiments didn’t come from the younger brother often and Sesshomaru nearly bit too hard on the bit of flesh he had been sampling. He pushed off the trunk and the pair fell to the ground, Sesshomaru trapping the hanyou to the forest floor. Inuyasha yelped, trying to squirm from under the youkai.



“Maru-nii!”



“You need to be punished.” The youkai murmured, finding both scrabbling hands and forcing them over the hanyou’s head. “Struggling makes it worse.”



Inuyasha flushed hotly, being far too prudish to be caught being screwed by his brother in the woods. He turned his scarlet face away from the searching lips, groaning as the youkai made short work of the hakama ties and unwound them, dragging the hakama from the wriggling hanyou’s waist and to his knees.



“If you did not want it, you would not be helping me undress you.” The elder brother goaded.



“That’s not—!” Inuyasha protested before the youkai’s mouth smothered his, assaulting him with tongue and teeth.



The hanyou’s legs were forced apart by strong thighs, the garments falling from the hanyou’s legs entirely. A warm hand smoothed along the pale leg and guiding it till it circled the clothed waist. The hand trailed back down the skin and leaving a path of gooseflesh until it squeezed the firm ass cheek. A dry digit began to prick and tease open the puckered hole, eliciting soft, muffled cries from the owner.



“MMmph!” Inuyasha tore his mouth away, turning his head to keep it from the hungry lips. “Didn’t you bring any fucken’ lube?!”



“Part of your punishment.” Sesshomaru spat impatiently and forced the digit past the opposing hole.



“Hii!” The hanyou ground his teeth together, his brother being rough in the preparations. He tightened his leg around the waist, enjoying and dreading each rough jab until his own body fluids began to cause the fingers to glide easier.



Sesshomaru suckled multiple marks along the yielding flesh, working on the fourth finger. Desire made the air pungent, clinging to the delicate noses. The leaves crushed beneath the withering, bucking bodies crinkled and emanated the earthy smell to mingle in the cool night air.



The restraining hand slipped, but the hanyou didn’t seem to notice, his arms remaining in place. The pale skin was dewy with perspiration; his member aching for release ad the persistent youkai worked his fingers to the knuckles into the sweltering rectum.



“Not the whole—ARGH!” Inuyasha jerked and arched his back, hands swinging down to dig into the moist, rich earth as the youkai’s hand slipped past the sphincter. Mokomoko pinned the surging torso to the thickly covered soil.



Sesshomaru bit the clad stomach lightly, listening to the harsh, hitching gasps as he closed and opened his fist in the confining passage. He didn’t want his brother ever pulling this crap again. He didn’t like being extorted and browbeat into doing something he didn’t like. He’d raise the seven hells onto the earth if Inuyasha pulled a similar stunt once more.



He worked his forearm deeper, the heat of the channel soothing and exciting. Inuyasha squirmed and yelled, feet scrapping to find purchase on the ground. He worked around the bend of the smooth bowels, forcing his elbow passed the expanded hole roughly.



Inuyasha stopped fighting when his brother stopped moving. He panted and whimpered softly, feeling violated for the first time in a while. When his brother spoke, he swore he could feel the arm lodged within him vibrate with the low, deep voice.



“Inu-chan. If you know what is good for you, you will not move. You will do exactly as I say. Do you understand?” The youkai ordered, teeth grazing the sensitive inner thigh.



“Yes, yes!” The hanyou yelled, body sweating and shaking from the strain. Mokomoko flowing back to leave the heaving lungs and arms free, though the younger brother did not move.



“Lift your head and look at me.” Inuyasha obeyed slowly, trying not to move and jostle his packed ass.



“Ooooh….ffffuuuuck….” he moaned, brows creased as he could see the arm pressed against the flesh of his stomach. He felt the embedded appendage flex and it was as if snakes were tangling in his bowels. The younger brother let his head fall hard onto the ground and tossing it back and forth, tangling leaves and twigs in his color-less tresses. The sensation of being packed increased and he whimpered, knowing his brother was easing more of his long arm inside.



“Are you going to run again?”



“Never, oh, fuck! Never!” Tears leaked from behind tightly closed lids as he felt the chord muscles of the bicep bunch and release against his prostate. His mind is swimming in euphoria and all he perceived was the mastering youkai lord.



His lord.



His partner.



His lover.



His brother.



The hanyou’s life had been a collection of desultory occurrences before Sesshomaru had dragged him to the mountain. He had purpose, strength, power, love, protection, pleasure, pain, and support. His older brother was his world and everything else came second.



“I’m yours! Fuck! Maru-nii! I’ll never leave you!” Inuyasha avowed, ears plastered to his skull as his ass tried to shit the arm. The intense pressure slipped away and his body collapsed limply onto the ground. His brother’s silhouette loomed above him and he felt the rigid phallus slip into the stretched hole easily.



Long legs wrapped around the youkai lord’s body, pulling it close as arms wound around the neck to drag the dazzling face down. He was wrapped in his brother’s scent, covered with the star stained strands and drunk on the poignant taste.



The older brother palmed the weeping cock of his brother’s; gliding up and down the shaft to the rhythm he crushed his hips against the sore ass. Twined together, they found ecstasy and release, focused entirely at each other as the past and future melted away to nothing.



Their path was forever woven into one thick strand that would never be wrested apart, no matter how the fates may try.

I was worried I would scare everyone who wanted MPreg away. Meaningless fear, I see. ^-^



s_o_s - Believability is always my downfall. That's part of what takes me so long to write my other story (unpublished and original and far too long). I am much like you when in the material we read. ...your comments always make me so flustered by the way. I'm never sure how to respond to big compliments. ^-^;;; Thank you so much.



Nikkie23534 - Men are stupid. -.- Poor Sess has problem seeing things from other's perspectives. Inu and Sess's problem will always be communication, I think.



Demitria Miriam - You're true about the selfish bitches. I could go into the results of messy affairs, but that would take too long...

Silly youkai is being narrow minded again. The contract they'll be under will be effective until all parties are happy. She has to give them however many pups they want before she gets her own. There will only be one three-some. I've never done one and I'm trying to work my mind around it right now. I'm lazy, damnit. She's a military youkai and knows her limits. That's part of the reason she's agreeing to breed for them. One child will be more than a handful for a working, single mother. Giving her pups up to a good, safe home doesn't bother her. She's very practical.

I think Inu has put Sess's doubts to rest.

Don't hesitate to ask anymore questions or ramble on! I just wish this was more forum like, so I could answer before I post a chapter.



CuriousMiko - We're all a little needy sometimes. ^-^



C-loke - No worries about our boys. They're too caught up in each other to integrate another into their relationship...even the mother of their pups.
