Happy Bath Ending

A/N: Since it took so long for me to post this, I put the lemon first and the angst will come next chapter. I don't own this. I do own Sakura and Suzuka though.

Inuyasha rubbed his eyes and looked around, temporarily forgetting where he was. He sat up in the large bed, stretching and wincing at the painful spots. He looked beside himself and frowned sadly. Sesshoumaru was no where to be found. Inuyasha sighed, chalking the previous night’s activities to a simple fluke for being in heat. He looked to the window close to the bed and thought about leaving. Sesshoumaru would probably not want him there, and reprimand him for sleeping so late before ripping his throat out. He turned toward the door when it opened to see Sesshoumaru and the two female attendants come inside the room.

“So leave the fresh clothes over there and-” Sesshoumaru halted when he noticed Inuyasha was awake. Inuyasha blushed furiously and scrambled underneath the tangled bed sheets.

Sesshoumaru frowned. “I thought you would still be sleeping.” His voice was somewhat forceful and startled Inuyasha.

“I-I meant to be up before now…I was going to leave in a few moments,” the nervous hanyou stammered, not willing to meet his brothers’ eyes.

Sesshoumaru’s frown turned into a look of confusion. “Why would you leave?”

Inuyasha opened his mouth to respond, but when no words came out all he could do was look down in embarrassment. There was a tense, awkward moment with Inuyasha thumbing the bed sheet in shame and Sesshoumaru and the attendants in the doorway staring at him like he was a complete moron.

“Lord Sesshoumaru, should we still bring the items inside?” one of the attendants spoke up after many moments of silence. Sesshoumaru nodded and directed them to a table near the bed, where the two attendants set a small plate of food and fresh clothes. Both of the attendants were tall, shapely women, both with long black hair that was pinned back into a chignon. One of them had a cherry blossom stem in the back of her hair as decoration and was wearing a pink kimono as the other sister wore a bow that matched the same green that was in her kimono. Both sisters had streaks of white in their hair and had dark purplish eyes.

Inuyasha watched the two women, nodding his head at one of them that made eye contact with him.

“What’s your name?”

The attendant froze and looked at her sister, and then at Sesshoumaru, who waved his hand in approval.

“Sakura. And this is my older sister Suzuka.” she said, pointing at her sister. The elder sister gave a small bow and tugged on Sakura’s sleeve.

“Thank you for everything, Sakura. Thanks to you too, Suzuka,” Inuyasha said, smiling at the sisters. “I would have thanked you last night, but I was…preoccupied.” Inuyasha not realizing his words blushed again after he thought about what he said, making Sesshoumaru chuckle. Sakura gave him a big toothy grin, but then pouted and hung her head when her sister shook her head disapprovingly.

“We will take our leave now.” Suzuka pulled her sister to the door and they both bowed to the hanyou and youkai before scurrying out of the door. Sakura smiled and waved at Inuyasha before closing the door behind her.

“They’re adorable,” Inuyasha murmured, watching as Sesshoumaru walked toward the bed, taking some fruit off of the breakfast plate.

“Yes, they are quite the characters. They are loyal and Rin enjoys them, so they are beneficial to me. How did you sleep?” he broke a slice of apple in half and offered it to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha took the apple and shrugged. “It was comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful here. More so than I remembered.”

Sesshoumaru nodded and climbed on the bed beside him. Inuyasha tentatively ate the apple, trying not to be too noisy or dirty.

“Were you really planning on leaving me?” Sesshoumaru’s words were low, soft, and pained.

Inuyasha nearly choked on the apple. He turned to face Sesshoumaru, golden eyes piercing him through. He swallowed and licked his lips, wondering what the right answer was. When Inuyasha didn’t answer, Sesshoumaru sighed deeply. He wasn’t used to being so sensitive. He wanted Inuyasha to want him and only him, and the thought of his beloved going back to those filthy humans was more than Sesshoumaru could handle.

“I was, but only because I thought last night was a mistake.” Had Sesshoumaru not had such good hearing, he would have missed the last word Inuyasha whispered. He heard the shame and uncertainty in his voice, and part of him grew angry. Not angry at Inuyasha, but angry at those who had warped and damaged him so that he was unsure of every positive feeling and action. Second guessing himself and thinking someone would only want him for a few minutes of sweaty sex.

“Do you think this was a mistake?” Sesshoumaru tried to sound as neutral as possible still keeping up his regal façade.

“No.” Inuyasha’s voice was still soft, but stronger, more convincing.

Sesshoumaru reached out to caress Inuyasha’s cheek, and then was mildly stunned by the wetness there. Inuyasha was a myriad of emotions, and all Sesshoumaru wanted to do was hold him and make him feel worthwhile. He inwardly cursed all humans, even Inuyasha’s mother, although that was unfair. Izayoi was the only human that ever really loved Inuyasha, but her death hurt him on untouchable levels.

Sesshoumaru smiled and bent his head to lick the tears away. He placed his hand on Inuyasha’s leg, remembering the cut he suffered.

“Does it still hurt?”

Inuyasha pulled the covers back to find a faint red line where the gash was. He gingerly traced it, wincing. “It won’t kill me, but yeah, it still hurts.”

Sesshoumaru smiled and bent to trace the thin red line with his tongue before kissing the thigh softly. He heard his brother sigh and felt fingers kneading through his silver silk hair. He ran his hand back and forth over Inuyasha’s muscled thigh, the leg twitching from his soft touches.

“Please, Sesshoumaru…” Inuyasha murmured, throwing his head back.

“Tell me what you want.” The youkai could smell the sex in the air, but needed just as much encouragement as Inuyasha did. He needed to be told that he was wanted, and that Inuyasha didn’t really want to leave him.

Inuyasha sighed deeply, spreading his legs open. Sesshoumaru’s kisses went from the top of his thigh down to the middle of his inner thigh, leaving a thin shimmer of saliva covering his leg. Sesshoumaru moved his tongue and flickered it over Inuyasha’s hole, making him moan in excitement.

“I need you…I want you,” Inuyasha breathed in a husky voice, making Sesshoumaru’s ears twitch. He positioned himself over Inuyasha and stared him in the eyes again, pressing his warm, soft lips to the love starved hanyou. The kiss was chaste and almost boring at first, but Inuyasha opened his mouth and both of them moaned when their tongues touched.

Sesshoumaru wrapped his hand around one of Inuyasha’s as he slowly entered him. The friction was wonderful, compounded by the small adjustment movements Inuyasha made. Hips rocked back and forth as they made love, skin flushed and sweat poured. Sesshoumaru glanced at the milky neck bent in submission to him, growling lowly. The hanyou was crying, whimpering, begging for release. The sweet nothings Sesshoumaru murmured did nothing to satiate Inuyasha as he clutched onto his brother’s back, drawing crimson.

The bed creaked in protest at such rough treatment over a small period of time, and with each thrust into Inuyasha, both he, the bed, and his lover grunted in pain. Inuyasha closed his eyes and felt the warmth of his brother coming inside of him, and savored the feeling of the weight on top of him and protective arm around him. Gentle kisses and pecks were rained on his face and when he opened his eyes, Sesshoumaru’s face was wet with tears. Inuyasha realized why and blushed again, not used to being loved. Sesshoumaru blushed as well and pulled the sheet over them so they could remain in bed together, happily entangled. Soon their breathing evened and both of them were asleep, cheek to cheek.


**************************************************

“LORD SESSHOUMARUUUUUUUUUUUUU!”

Inuyasha bolted upright and nearly fell off of the bed. He looked up in time to see something small and brown project itself at the bed and saw small feet jumping up and down. The intruder stopped when it noticed Inuyasha.

“Hey, I remember you! You’re Lord Sesshoumaru’s brother!” The intruder squealed, pointing her skinny white finger at his ears.

Inuyasha smiled. “Rin. How are ya today?”

Rin smiled back, revealing where she lost a tooth in the front. “I’m good. Why are you here?” she asked innocently, ignoring the chastising glare from Sesshoumaru.

Inuyasha thought for a moment of how to explain a delicate situation to a child. “Lord Sesshoumaru invited me for a…sleepover.” Inuyasha poked Sesshoumaru when he smirked at the word usage.

Rin looked confused. “But Lord Sesshoumaru hates you.”

Inuyasha flinched and Sesshoumaru’s mouth fell open.

“Rin, that’s not true or nice. I never said that.” He figured he could do some damage control for the girl’s statement.

Rin refused to be censored. “But Lord Sesshoumaru, you said it the other day! That he was half breed scum and-” Rin stopped when she saw the faint pink glow from Sesshoumaru’s eyes.

“I didn’t make it up or say it to hurt you…I just wanted to make sure you could stay and play with me,” Rin whispered, looking down. "I thought if Lord Sesshoumaru hated you then you couldn't come pick flowers with me." Rin's eyes welled up with tears and Sesshoumaru sucked his teeth and held his arm open, causing Rin to fall into him, crying.

“I am not upset. But children should not repeat what adults say, especially when the adult was speaking out of anger.” Sesshoumaru turned his head toward Inuyasha, who gave him a nod of understanding. Rin pulled back and looked at Inuyasha, bowing her head.

“I’m sorry, Lord Inuyasha. Friends?”

Inuyasha could not resist the huge brown eyes or the thin hand outstretched in a peace treaty. He pulled Rin to him and hugged her tightly, making her cough when he squeezed too hard.

“Sure we are, lil mama!” Inuyasha kissed Rin on the top of her head and wiped away her tears. Rin turned toward Sesshoumaru and bowed toward him as well.

"I'm sorry I opened my big human mouth." Sesshoumaru stared at her and chuckled, pinching one of her chubby cheeks.

"You are forgiven. Now run along and leave Inuyasha and myself to talk. If you are a good girl for the rest of the day, we may buy you a new doll." Satisfied with the bribe of potential gifts, Rin jumped back off the bed and closed the bedroom door, blowing both of them a kiss before leaving.

“She’s a handful, isn’t she?”

Sesshoumaru scoffed. “If my hair wasn’t already silver…” he trailed off and looked at Inuyasha in the light. “Kami could not have created a more perfect being,” he whispered, tracing a clawed finger over Inuyasha’s flushed cheek.

He turned and captured the hanyou’s lips with his own, kissing him softly and slowly. Inuyasha’s lips tasted sweet from the apple slice, and were pliable and slightly swollen. Sesshoumaru teased him by running his tongue over the bottom lip before biting it and tasting the sugary blood. Inuyasha kissed him lovingly before resting his head on his lover’s chest. The events of the previous night and now today were too much for him and he genuinely needed sleep. Sesshoumaru sighed in happiness and stroked Inuyasha’s hair, closing his own eyes.

“Aren’t they just the cutest?”

“Yes, both of them look just darling.”

Sesshoumaru’s eyes popped open. “Sakura? Rin?” He called out toward the door. He chuckled to himself when he heard the footsteps running away in opposite directions.

A/N: I know that the characters are OOC right now, but hopefully that will change next chapter. I'm trying to portray Sesshoumaru as the newly emotional lover and Inuyasha as the shy lover not really knowing how to handle the affections he is getting. Sesshoumaru will always treat Inuyasha better than he treats everyone else, so plan on him pretty much being nice the whole time. When Inuyasha gets back used to Sesshoumaru, he will start smarting off to him. Thinking of making this an mpreg...we'll see how it goes. Love you all!
