CLAIMING KIN by Salome and Talon

Author's Note: All ends well (and naughtily)…in the bath. And we give a little more insight into what it feels like to serve Sesshoumaru and Kin, from bathing servants and lovers Yumi and Mizao. Perspectives move back and forth with all four in the bathing chambers, but we've worked hard to clarify who is saying and doing what to whom, so keep focused and enjoy the ride.

Warnings: Shouta continues. Read only if it pleases you to do so.

Piss Play and Its Consequences, Part II

Yumi is in the bath chamber, smiling. She looks tired but not unhappy to be there. She bows deeply, and Sesshoumaru nods his head in gratitude. An excessive, unnecessary gesture, but he is pleased enough to make it at this moment. Jaken-sama truly is a treasure; his own bathing servant is Yumi’s lover, Mizao. Efficient and contained, only having to disturb one chamber. And while Mizao is not his favorite bathing servant, she is competent enough and pleasing enough.

"Yumi!!" Kin is very happy to see her and trots over to get his hug. "Onii is going to wash my hair and ears for me! And Mizao too for Onii!!” He is happily wrapped up in Yumi’s loving embrace while Mizao waits to attend Oniisama. He doesn’t think he’s ever been bathed at the same time Mizao has attended Oniisama before.

Sesshoumaru instructs Mizao (whose name he remembers only because Kin effuses about Yumi’s lover) to await him. He drinks from a small pitcher of herbed water he knows Jaken has ordered to cleanse his mouth, then enters the bath and submerges for long moments. Yumi will care for Kin, and he desperately needs to be CLEAN.

"But Yumi will give Kin his bath...yes Yumi? Kin is very sorry to have woken you up..."

Beneath the surface of the deep bath, Sesshoumaru allows himself a moment of thought. Was it the child's urine alone that caused him such turmoil, mentally and physically? Or was this also related to the way his father's knotting affected him? He surfaces, knowing the question cannot be answered now...or easily. He reaches out for soap to cleanse himself and peers over at Kin and Yumi. "Come, child, into the bath. It is a rare treat to be bathed twice in one day." He motions to Mizao to wash his hair.

Kin hesitates, looking up at Yumi, then at Onii. "Will Onii take off Kin's harness? Or should Yumi?"

Mizao approaches gracefully and begins her job. She is very good at what she does, and purrs quietly as she massages and rubs in a very pleasing manner, eyeing Yumi and the child. It is not often they work together in this manner anymore; not since Yumi had been assigned the care of the hanyou puppy.

"What would Kin like?" Sesshoumaru asks, coming to the edge of the bath and holding out his arms.

He nuzzles Yumi, then trots over to Onii. "Onii, please."

"Then Onii it shall be." He enjoys the feel of Mizao's skilled hands on his body, but he needs his boy more. Needs to know he is still cherished, trusted. He must not doubt that somehow he still deserves it. Kin is his, now and always. He carefully unbuckles the harness and lifts it over the tousled head. Then, he hands it to Yumi and lifts the child out of his pants and into the water.

"Come share the bath with Onii, little one," he croons. His relief at becoming cleaned of his foolish whim and its consequences, at feeling his throat burn less, his eyes clear, and his body become his own again -- this is all nothing compared to the child's trust. And how fully and easily he gives it. "Come Yumi, wash this wriggling creature so I may give your fellow servant reason to have awakened from her slumber."

He snuggles in Onii's wet grasp and licks his chest. Onii-flavored water is the very best. He giggles and puts his ears down as Yumi comes over to take him. She always has to get in the bath with him, because he is so small and the bath is so big, but he doesn't mind. Yumi is his very own bathing servant...and she doesn't bathe anyone else!!

Mizao makes a small noise of appreciation as Yumi takes the puppy into the bath... Well...perhaps this bath would not be completely wasted after all. Not that the privilege of bathing the Lord's Heir was ever wasted time...it was just not quite the same with the puppy AND her lover in attendance.

Yumi feels badly for Mizao; she is unused to being awoken at all hours, needed for unusual circumstances and it shows, however she tries to hide it. Yumi can see she lacks the gentleness of touch the elegant firstborn son of his Lordship requires as well as having difficulty focusing on her job while she herself bathes the puppy.

Kin wriggles in Yumi's grip and giggles. "Tickles, Yumi!!"

Sesshoumaru is pleased for the moment to give over his boy to Yumi's patient, indulgent care. He leans back to allow the other to wash his hair. She is far from expert, but so long as he can be cleaned and near his child, he is content. He must not have hurt the boy truly if he is able so quickly to recover, but he will soon inspect more closely for himself.

Mizao purrs as she gathers up the hair and rubs and cleans, carefully rinsing every bit of the soap from her Lord's beautiful hair...while showcasing her ample breasts in their wet glory. "I hope my Lord finds my poor efforts pleasing..." Of course, this is also for Yumi, who is far more likely to appreciate her attributes.

"Will you scratch my back for me, Yumi? Kin is very itchy!! And also wet!!"

Sesshoumaru's determination, his confidence in his father's love, and Kin's unswerving faith in him lend him indulgent energy. "Your efforts are appreciated, girl, though your attention would be better focused upon the task at hand.”

"Of course, Kin-chan," Yumi replies. "But hold still. The harness has chafed you a bit. You must let me wash you." Such a precious child.

He stills, even as he makes a contented grunting noise. It feels very very nice to be washed by Yumi. "Yes, Yumi."

Mizao makes a small sound of surprise, nearly dropping the soap into the water. “My Lord, I assure you I…that is…I would never…I mean…”

Yumi notices the conversation becoming quiet and surprisingly...intimate?...between Lord Sesshoumaru and her Mizao. She takes Kin to the far side of the tub and applies a bit of salve to the little red spots on his shoulder blades, and the small puncture marks on his neck too. They disturb her, she cannot deny it, but she says nothing to her Lord or the boy.

Kin smiles up and wriggles. "That feels very nice Yumi...Onii is going to wash my hair and my ears when he's done."

Sesshoumaru opts to enjoy himself at the servant's expense. The indulgence soothes him. "I am not questioning your dedication, but I can smell your distraction and its cause. Bring the towel to dry my hair and then you may go."

“I…My Lord…” She droops. He is correct after all. She is very much distracted by Yumi, who seems to not be distracted by her presence at all. “Yes, my Lord,” she says quietly, rising to fetch a towel.

"Is he indeed, Kin-chan? Your brother is quite generous this evening." She tends to the little marks at his throat with tender care.

"Onii had a bad time earlier. He did not feel well. But he is better now. And Kin is happy it is so." He stretches his neck so she can get all the marks.

"You would do well to be honest always, girl," Sesshoumaru says quietly. "And take your example for service from those who well know their place and position.” He raises her chin with a sharp clawtip, then withdraws it. "Bring me the soap for the child's hair now."

"Yes," Yumi agrees--in word if not entirely in heart. In truth, she feels the depth of Lord Sesshoumaru's affection, and she knows well that Kin's future is much brighter in his care than with the concubines and their offspring. She worries at what has troubled the heir this night, but is certain she will hear much about it from fellow servants when she returns to her quarters. There will be many half-truths, and she will not spread them. But she cannot help but be curious.

Mizao shudders in surprise at the touch, then bows and fetches the soap. "Yes...My Lord." She can still feel where his claw touched her...and...damn it. How can Yumi remain so calm, so focused on her job, on the puppy? It is clear that she needs practice in this area.

"Onii is much better now. And mokosama is swimming!!" He claps his hands delightedly. "He would not move for a long time, and look...he is making ripples in the water!!"

The child is entirely too obsessed with his fur, Sesshoumaru decides. Damned thing, it does indeed seem to "swim" toward the child. But why not, when he too cannot wait to get his hands on the pup again? But this time with control and confidence. "Shall Onii wash your hair now, Kin?"

He looks up at Yumi. "Is Kin clean now?"

Mizao sits back, kneeling beside the tub...fuming at herself mostly. She is a bathing servant, one of the few permitted to serve Lord Sesshoumaru. And yet with Yumi in the same bathing chamber, as naked as she is and bathing a puppy, she is distracted beyond any sort of acceptability.

Yumi watches the fur swim, too. She knows it is inseparable from Lord Sesshoumaru, and there is talk that he cannot entirely control its actions... But now Kin is speaking to her again and she turns her eyes away. "Kin is indeed clean. She passes him to Lord Sesshoumaru with care, and a bit of happy splashing by the boy's kicking legs.

Having discharged her duties for the moment, she goes to Mizao, who looks quite despondent. "Are you tired, Mizao?"

Kin wriggles himself up onto Onii and licks under his chin. "Does Onii feel better now he is clean?"

Mizao bows her head and sighs a bit. "I suppose, some. How the child does squeal..." And...licks Lord Sesshoumaru...licks him?

"Onii feels very much back to himself, Kin," he says, gratefully. He looks at the little punctures on the boy's neck, then draws him forward and sits him on his bent knees. "Your hair is already clean, my child. But shall Onii wash it again for you?"

"Yes please Onii!! And my ears too? Please?"

Yumi smiles. "He is a child, Mizao. Children are noisy. Oh look, you have soap still on your hands. Let me wash them for you?" She admires Mizao's dark brows and knowing eyes.

"I do?" She frowns. "I do. Thank you, Yumi. I...just don't understand."

"Onii would not dream of letting you out of the tub with dirty ears, child." And he brings his mouth to one furred tip and nips at it.

Kin giggles, even as he holds very still for the nip. Mokosama makes sure he holds still, wet and heavy around him. He watches Onii with happy eyes...happy that Onii is feeling better, and is not scary anymore, and is not dead.

Yumi washes Mizao with the same care and gentleness she uses on the child. She hopes her touch and concern is noticed. "What is wrong?"

"Why is my child so full of smiles and laughter? Does Onii's touch tickle as nicely as Yumi's?" He wets Kin's hair carefully.

Mizao's voice is quiet. Disappointed. "I thought…bathing my Lord while you bathed Kin-san…but I was far too distracted, Yumi. How do you do it? I disgraced myself, Yumi. My Lord is not happy with my work; I fear I shall not get an opportunity to redeem myself. And yet…how he is with the puppy… Yumi, is that…normal?”

"Yes!!" squeaks Kin. "And Kin is happy. He is happy Onii is okay and better and himself again. Because Kin loves Onii. Kin belongs to Onii."

"Indeed," Yumi effuses. "Is it not miraculous? His Lordship has become so much kinder since the pup came into his life.” She smiles as she rubs Mizao’s strong hands and fingers. “Caring for Kin-san takes all my attention; it did not occur to me it would not be the same for you and bathing my Lord. Did my presence truly distract you so much?” She smiles softly at the thought.

Sesshoumaru breathes in the scent of his perfect little pup. "Yes, Kin belongs to Onii." He lets the words sink in also. "Onii is glad Kin is happy. You are a very good puppy. Let me clean those ears now." He props the child up and brings his tongue to clean them well.

She stares at Yumi. "Kinder? Is that what you see?" She looks again at the great Heir of the Lord of the Western Lands. He is licking a furred puppy ear. While the ears are undeniably cute...they are also undeniably puppy. "Yumi...this...does not bother you? I mean…" She groans slightly at the rubbing of her hands. It feels so very nice. “It is not your fault I was distracted, though I am even more now.” Her eyes are wide at the scene in the sunken tub.

Kin wiggles in mokosama happily and flicks his ears up for Onii. He whines softly...happily. "Oniiii..."

Sesshoumaru feels his erection rise--predictably, delightfully--beneath the child's bottom as he squirms in his grasp. He licks softly inside the pink of the sweet furred ears. He cherishes the boy to distraction...though he will take far more care with his body fluids in future. The ease he feels in the thought is as soothing as the bath and the licking.

Kin's foot drifts down in the water and brushes up against Onii's big dick. His eyes widen and he does it again...gently in the hot water.

Sesshoumaru makes his cock jump, bounce off the little leg. He continues to lick and clean the ears while the boy "discovers" his cock.

He giggles at the tickly ear cleaning...but it also makes shivery feelings he likes VERY much...and Onii's cock bounces!! He reaches out with his foot again...carefully, then captures it between both feet!!

Sesshoumaru inhales sharply as the precocious little creature ensnares his erection. He thrusts his tongue into the tender little ear while stroking the other. Such a delicious, eager boy.

Yumi begins to massage up Mizao's wrist and forearm, hoping to distract her from the scene to which her eyes are glued. She knows well where the two dogs are headed; she can see it and smell it.

Kin gasps at the tongue thrust and pants loudly as he shivers. He is definitely doing a good thing, and he draws his feet up. "I got Onii..."

"Oh, Yumi...so nice." She blinks. She doesn't have the nose of an inu...or the otter youkai Yumi is, but... "What are they doing?" she whispers to Yumi.

Sesshoumaru loves the clumsy-tight grip the child has him in. He would love to shove it up that tight little ass of his...and he knows he will...another time. For now, he slips a hand under the water and grasps the tiny hard puppycock. He removes his tongue and whispers, "And Onii has got Kin..."

Yumi gives a small, delighted laugh. Is it possible Mizao is so distant from servant gossip that she does not know about the exact nature of Lord Sesshoumaru and Kin's connection? Or perhaps it is because she is so used to seeing them together. "Just bathing, Mizao."

Kin shrieks delightedly and giggles. "Onii DID get Kin!!" He's already starting to get hard at just the touch of his Oniisama.

"Bathing? It appears…" She winces at the shriek. "Your grip is strong, Yumi, yes…do that again, please..." It becomes clear to her that much is going on beneath the surface of the bath. "Do you truly enjoy your position?" she asks. She had never really considered the question before. She knows how devoted her lover is to the little hanyou, but seeing Lord Sesshoumaru with the child…

"My good, hard boy," Sesshoumaru says with pride. So resilient. So delighted after such a frightening incident -- and his hours away with Papa. He cannot doubt they fulfill one another as no other could.

Yumi smiles. "You are kind to ask. I thought for some time I would not like it. I miss my Mistress still. But Kin is such a loving child. Who could not wish to serve him and Lord Sesshoumaru?" She touches light fingertips to Mizao's jaw and turns her away from watching the two in the bath. "What is it that you would like, Mizao?” she asks, her voice almost teasing, but quite serious at the same time.

Kin nuzzles his mouth against Onii's hopefully, leaning forward into Onii's hand.

Mizao turns her head, but not before seeing the child plant what looks for all the world like a clumsy kiss on the Lord's mouth! "He...loving...um...what would I like?"

Sesshoumaru enjoys the way the child asks for a kiss. He strokes his tiny cock to delicious hardness. "My beautiful brother," he murmurs, and parts his lips and offers his tongue to his boy.

"That is the question, my dear Mizao." Yumi smells the ripe smell of the brothers' doing what they do. She could judge -- but why. It was what it was, and there was most definitely love there. She takes Mizao's fingers and brings two of them into her mouth and sucks lightly.

Kin moans softly and sucks Onii's tongue, wriggling in his hand and breathing hard though his nose because he did not want to let go of Onii's tongue ever at all.

"Yumi!” Her whisper is surprised, but whether it is surprise from seeing that or the mouth on her fingers, she is not certain.

Yumi continues to suck, to slip her tongue between the two fingers. Neither brother has need of their services at the moment and Mizao tastes so sweet, even as she is distracted by the play in the bath. Is she perhaps aroused by the sight, too?

As the child sucks his tongue, Sesshoumaru matches its rhythm with his hand on the sweet rigid little cock. He takes his free hand and winds it into the child's hair and presses their mouths more tightly together.

Mizao watches Yumi, and shivers slightly, noticing, not for the first time, how shimmery her eyes are. Shimmery and liquid and beautiful. She glances over and...her mouth drops open. She has heard...in passing...but Yumi never speaks of her duties beyond her affection for the little one. Mizao has never asked if the rumors were true merely because Yumi does not gossip. She likes that about her lover, and prefers to not put her in the position of disclosure merely to satisfy her own curiosity. Moreover, since she has been with Yumi, she has found herself less curious about gossip in general, perhaps because Yumi makes day-to-day living so very vibrant. Still. Now, though, she wishes she had asked and Yumi had spoken of something so she might have been better prepared for tonight. But could anything truly have prepared her for this?

Kin whines loudly and finally surrenders Onii's tongue because he has to pant against Onii's mouth for several seconds after Onii holds his hair. He doesn't pull away...he likes it right where he is...but...he has to breathe. "Oh please...Onii...please..."

Seeing those parted lips, the shock on them, smelling her boys (for that is indeed how Yumi is coming to think of them), she cannot resist, even knowing she ought pay more attention to her place and her duty. She releases the fingers and goes for the embrace, kissing the shock right out of Mizao's beautiful mouth.

"Please what, my good boy? Tell Onii...please what?" He strokes the cock more firmly now, his own cock thrusting a little in the water -- but entirely within his control now, as it should be.

Mizao makes a surprised sound...and...and...ohhh...ohh. Of their own accord her arms seem to find their way around her slick, sensuous lover.

"Kin wants mooooore...please...Kin is so hard...please Oniii...ohhhhhh!!!" His tongue darts in and out, licking all around Onii's lips and teeth and mouth as he whines and begs.

Sesshoumaru enjoys his dominance so deeply. He detaches the pup a little and demands answer: "More what, pet? Tell Onii what you need, or show him."

Yumi knows Mizao, like herself, is falling under the spell of the inu here in the bath. Something both so unexpected and yet so inevitable in the dance they do. One so serious and sullen and powerful; the other so innocent, guileless, and precocious. She kisses Mizao again deeply, gladly.

Kin blushes and whines again. "Onii...please...Kin's bottom is very lonely."

Mizao is dazed. She can hear them...as though from a distance...but what was up close was..."Nnnn...Yumi...is...is this okay?" They were...supposed to be serving...right?

"If it is only 'okay' then I am not doing it properly." Yumi shoves a hand between Mizao's legs.

"The redness in your cheeks is delightful, pup. Climb out and let Onii see this lonely bottom of yours. Show me."

Mizao makes a surprised sound. Yumi is being quite aggressive tonight. In the steam of the bath and the sounds all around, it is surprisingly arousing.

Kin clambers up onto the ledge, his previously submerged body tinted pink from the heat of the water. He winces slightly...his legs still hurt some, but he turns around and sits down. "Should Kin sit like this?" He leans on his elbows and spreads his legs and pushes his bottom up.

"Wait, child." He notices the wincing, the awkwardness. "Tell Onii: what hurts you?" He does not want to hear the answer, but he must. He must ensure his child is all right.

Kin pouts. He doesn't want to say. He wants something in his bottom and Onii touching his puppy cock. But Onii has commanded...and he must obey. "Kin's legs hurt a little," he confesses.

Yumi whispers into Mizao's ear: "You cannot know what it is like to hear the child talk of what his 'Onii' does to him... I try to silence him...but...oh... Kiss me, Mizao..."

"Why do Kin's legs hurt?" He should know. There are no markings on them. "How did Onii hurt you?"

"His...'Onii'?" She breathes in and presses her mouth to Yumi's. It is soft and sweet and sharp in some places. "It arouses you?" No wonder she often came back from serving the puppy and found some way to get Mizao alone regardless of what she was doing.

Kin shrinks slightly, looking away. "They are okay, Onii. Onii just...needed Kin's legs spread...more."

"I don't want to think, Mizao...I want to feel. I want you."

The nice thing about being a bathing servant is they were nearly naked anyway. Yumi is entirely naked, Mizao notices, and Yumi is damp from having gotten in the bath with the puppy. She stares up at Yumi then pulls her head down for another kiss. “You minx,” she murmurs around their entwined mouths.

Sesshoumaru closes his eyes tightly, then opens them. He reaches out and clutches Kin to his chest. "Onii did wrong, Kin. I did not mean to. And I know what to do -- what not to do -- to avoid what I did in future. I vow to take even more care with you, always." He licks the child's face affectionately. "Now, come back into the water where it is warm, and Onii will fill your 'lonely bottom' with his fingers in the bath. Would you like that?"

He snuggles against Onii, smiling up at him as Onii licks his face. "Please Onii...Kin's bottom is very lonely. And Kin's legs do not hurt so very much. I promise!!"

Sesshoumaru sighs with a mixture of regret and anticipation, then flicks his eyes to where Yumi and the other servant are -- Ah. He thought he smelled something. He could enjoy begrudging them pleasure as a part of his own. But no. His boy needs him, and he needs his boy. "Very well, Kin. You show Onii what you wish. We will have Yumi massage your legs when we have finished." Or perhaps not.

He peeks over Onii's shoulder and makes a delighted noise. "Oh!! Mizao is Yumi’s girl! Yumi told me about her, and now they are kissing Onii!!" He turns his attention back to Onii, and blushes again. "Kin would like Onii's fingers in his bottom in the water..."

"Get on your knees and face away from Onii first, child. Show Onii your pretty empty bottom." He reaches for the bath oil beside the tub to lubricate his fingers and Kin, too.

His eyes widen slightly, and he moans, a precious puppy "ooo ooo ooo" as Onii's fingers touch him there.

Gently, carefully he rubs and probes, senses attuned to the slightest hint of discomfort that might come from his Kin.

"Kin...Kin likes Onii's fingers..."

From one finger to two, he slips carefully inside, enjoying the whine and the panting that will begin in earnest as he is fingered more intensely. The pleasure of arousing his boy and the urge to truly fuck him make his cock throb.

Kin whines loudly as the fingers slide into him. It stings a little...it always does but this hurt he doesn't dislike. He doesn't dislike it at all. "Onii...Oniiiiiiii..."

Sesshoumaru strokes Kin's back with his free hand and murmurs to his pup: "Yes, Kin, Onii is here. Onii wants your pleasure...take it for Onii...tell Onii what you need...Show Onii..."

Yumi fingers Mizao at the same pace as Kin's whining and words... She knows Mizao wants to watch, so she releases her lips and kisses and nips at her throat while her head turns to the inu pair in the tub.

Mizao can't help but stare, though her attention is now more closely focused on Yumi's attentions and she groans softly and squeezes with her muscles around those fingers to show she likes every touch and thrust. "Yumi..." she whispers.

"Need...Onii...always Oniiiiiiiii..." Kin pushes back into Onii's fingers, as he feels himself lifted into the water onto Onii's hand. "Hurtsss...Kin likes this hurt..." He twists to look up at Onii with liquid eyes. "Kin does not know whyyy...but he does... Mmmmm in the water Onii...," he reaches down and strokes his cock. "Feels different..."

"Yes, pull your little prick for Onii," he breathes, holding Kin close and pumping his fingers. "Tell Onii when you want to come...Onii wants your come, Kin... Give it to Onii..."

Somewhere...sometime it always stops hurting. Kin feels so full and the pushing in and out makes him whine breathlessly. He jerks his little cock under the water, staring at his fingers pulling on the skin and Onii's hand making pushes in the water.

"Such a good boy.... See how beautiful you are? How pretty your hard little cock looks? Onii is so hard too... Such sweet noise Kin makes. Kin is Onii's boy..."

"Just...Onii..." He pants hard as he whines. "Kin...is full of Oniiiiiiii..." He jerks slightly. "OH!! Kin...Kin will come...Onii...please!!!"

He shoves his fingers deep and uses the heel of his hand to push the child up and up as he bends forward to get that little cock into his hungry mouth as Kin clings to him. He rumbles possessively and sucks, so full of desire and the need to see his boy pleasured and needy for him -- and to satisfy him as no other will ever be allowed to.

He howls and grips Onii's head with both his hands as his little cock spasms and spurts into Onii's hot, sucky mouth. He sobs, overwhelmed with the sensation and relief and love and adoration. "I...I...I...Oniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...."

Oh yes. He loves the way the child grabs hold of him to reach his peak. Surrendering himself to his brother's mouth, to the pleasure he wants...and takes... with Onii's encouragement. Such perfection. It will always be so. As Kin gives himself over, as Sesshoumaru's own hard cock strains without relief, he begins to forgive himself for losing control and hurting his boy. Just begins, as he knows his father would tell him to. He draws and swallows, relishing every drop.

Kin trembles in the aftershocks, sniffling, and being limp over Onii's head. Ohhh...he is suddenly so very tired now. Very tired...and...Onii is Onii. "Belong...to Onii..."

He will not stop savoring until he must: when the child becomes oversensitive and wriggles too much to hold, or passes out entirely. Gods, how he wants to fuck that beautiful ass. But not tonight. He has earned no release and will not put his child through anything more, not even a coveted fuck. He removes his fingers carefully, slowly.

Kin whines as the fingers come out. Ohhh...Onii is still sucking and licking. It's okay for a little while, but it starts to be not feeling so good after a little bit, and he starts to squirm. He doesn't complain...sometimes Onii does this.

Mine, his sucking says. The come has little taste, but what there is? Exquisite and subtle. Right. And the cock itself, clean and warm and...his. Damn but his cock aches. He is determined to leave it unrelieved. He has more to make up to his child first. He releases the soft little prick and takes the child into his arms, then slowly exits the bath, only to see Yumi, a look of concentration on her face, fingering the other servant in a manner that looks quite expert indeed. He wonders what his boy will think of it.

Kin lays his head on Onii's shoulder as they get up out of the bath, and sees Yumi and giggles a little. "Yumi likes girls," he tells Onii seriously. "Not boys. But she likes me."

"How could anyone not like my Kin?" he asks, squeezing the boy. "It looks as if girls like our Yumi, too. Especially this girl. I will dry you now, Kin, and make sure your legs are truly uninjured. Onii never wants his boy hurt. Even at his own hands." He thinks a moment as Kin's scent shifts to concern. "Unless it is a spanking." Kin instantly smells relieved.

Kin licks Onii's cheek. "Yes, Onii." He shivers slightly. "Kin doesn't like spankings. But...Onii says he must have them sometimes. And everyone should like Yumi."

"It seems this servant likes Yumi, very much indeed." He watches, eyes narrowed and mildly aroused, as Yumi jerks and rubs Mizao, still standing but looking more than a little shaky on her feet, until she suddenly arches her back and comes, hard, into Yumi's palm.

He sniffs the air. "That is coming...yes Onii? Where is the towels?"

Sesshoumaru inhales, too. "Yes, child...good, isn't it? Perhaps someday we will get Kin his own little girl servant to make come. A slave, I think, who can live with us and we can take out and play with when we wish. Would you like that, Kin?"

He wrinkles his face up as Onii puts him down on his feet again. "If Onii wishes. Kin only wants Onii."

He walks over and grasps a thick towel to wrap around his precious brother. The child's possessiveness is not displeasing. But the image of Kin and a slave of his own to entertain his Onii with the sight of? It is worth considering seriously. He observes his boy closely. "Walk to Onii now. Do your legs ache still, child?"

He obeys, stepping carefully. "Yes Onii. But not so bad as before."

Yumi's wrist twinges from the difficult position, but she had no intention of stopping until Mizao climaxed. Her hand is sweet and sticky-wet now, and as she removes it, keeping her other around the girl so she does not drop to the floor, she brings it to Mizao's lips and paints them with her own honey. Then she brings her lips there and kisses her warmly. "You may not come easily, dear Mizao, but you come well...."

She's sweating and panting and leaning against Yumi. Her head swims happily. "You...amazing...woman,” she gasps, kissing her back messily.

Sesshoumaru scoops up the child in the towel, unhappy that he is still in pain. “Let me carry you back to our rooms now. We will forgive Yumi and the other for their inattendance...but not before we frighten them a little, hmm?” He pauses and makes certain Kin is well wrapped before his subtly inflected voice echoes around the bathing chamber. "Good night, Yumi," he says. "You may go now. Both of you."

He snuggles in the towel against Onii. "Kin is sorry his legs hurt."

Yumi turns to her master and the child, instantly red-faced. Mizao nearly falls from her arms. She bows deeply. "Shall I..." she begins, then continues, "Would you..." and concludes, "Oh! Forgive me, Lord Sesshoumaru." She bows deeply again, and takes Mizao -- entirely stunned-- down with her.

"Oh...oh NO!!!" Mizao doesn't realize the gravity of what they have done until Yumi pulls her into a bow. "Oh!! Please...please forgive me, Lord Sesshoumaru!!"

"We will discuss this in the morning," he says, over his shoulder, sweeping from the room in towel-covered elegance. Of course, there will be no discussion, just a pleasurable expression of displeasure.

Kin peers over Onii's shoulder and waves, chirruping sleepily, "Good night, Yumi!"

Sesshoumaru turns back to Kin as he strides, thinking about how he seems to blame himself for his pain and having to admit to it. "Child: never apologize when something is neither your fault nor your responsibility. Onii will massage those legs well and put you to bed. If they still hurt tomorrow, you will tell Onii and we will see a healer. Do you understand?"

He whimpers. "But...it is Kin's fault. Kin's pee made Onii strange. Kin's pee did not agree with Onii's body. It is Kin's fault."

"Kin," he says, with a calm sternness that would frighten a hardened military officer. "You are not to speak this way. It is not your fault. I should not have risked so much without being sure it was safe first. You are not to blame. Kin belongs to Sesshoumaru." He swallows. "And I love you, my Kin." His father's voice, saying the same words when he was small and unsure, echo in his ears.

Kin curls into the towel and lays his head back down drowsily. "Yes, Oniisama."
