A Youkai's Codec

Chapter 4: A Youkai's Codec

Sesshomaru's POV

He had managed to control the insane urge he had to not set eyes on Him when he walked into the room behind his Trainer, Ranan-san. He had successfully kept his breathing even when he heard Him speak, too.

But it seemed that Sesshomaru's other senses would not ignore Him.

When He spoke, when He moved about... Sesshomaru felt it, to his very core and could not contain the tremble that rippled through his soul, rattling his bones and everything he had been taught until this point. He had to remember what he had been taught; that was a fundamental, inescapable rule within the House.

It was insurmountable, the codec; it was a youaki's blood vow of servitude and a human's imprint in history of their superior reign over society. Because of this, he knew, as a servant to the House, that he was obligated to follow all protocol.

And yet...

He had grown up with the one he was to call "Master." He had come to know the child as "Inuyasha" and not as a dictator or king of any kind. Yet he was to call him and see Him as such. He was not to use formalities with Him like he use to all those decades ago. He was only a servant after all, and no longer a confidant, let alone a friend.

But He was so close to him now... after all the years he had spent exiled to a camp in the mountains where demons were sent to train to become the best servants they could... he was here again, in this castle, near Him.

And then His presence overwhelmed all rules and etiquette and he couldn't help but do it... he could feel His focus paying special attention to him. And their eyes had met; he had almost come undone at the sight of Him.

He had been punished of course, it was only to be expected, but it didn't stifle the growl at the physical blow he had received. The only thing that did, however, was the reprimanding looks he had received from his horrific actions, not to mention the fact that he had acted out in such a foul manner, debasing his 'Master' in such a way.

But that didn't seem to matter to Him. He had ordered everyone but him out of the quarters almost immediately. At first he thought that he’d be beaten... His lord didn't seem to recognize him after all...

But nothing happened until He came screeching back from within His closet and said his name.

"Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru had frozen. The way He had said his name...

"Sess...ru?"

The shock intensified, his nerves and senses so startled by that nickname from when he was only a pup, so much so that he flung his head up, eyes slightly wide in his surprise. One glimpse of Him and he dropped his head.

His beauty was even more stunning now that He was older.

"Sesshomaru! It's me! It's Inuyasha!"

He knew who He was... Inuyasha... It seemed like yesterday, yet so long ago in reality.

What was he thinking! Inuyasha was his lord and master now, not his friend. Things could not be the same as they used to be.

"Can I get you anything, my lord?"

A stifling silence enfolded around them for a moment.

"Sesshomaru, what-"

“My lord, I do not mean to be out of line but I have other duties I need to fulfill." He had to get out of here. He wasn't ready for this... to be alone with him again. If he was lucky he wouldn't be whipped for his insolence by his Trainer, only severely scolded.

Suddenly Sesshomaru was yanked up from his kneeling position and, startled, automatically yelling out.

“Don’t call me that!" Inuyasha scolded. "Sesshomaru! We used to play every day together! We used to get in so much trouble when we ran around and trampled about in the gardens! Don’t you remember me?”

He could have never forgotten Inuyasha... never, but he had to forget how they used to behave together... that must never surface... nor the feelings he harbored.

“I... cannot speak so familiarly with or about you. You are my lord, you have been and always will be until I die,” came what sounded more like a recited speech or "code for demons" than anything else.

“That’s shit!” Inuyasha yelled, his infamous temper flaring. “We used to wrestle and play hide and seek and- and I thought of you like my best friend, my brother even! How can you be so casual about it, like it didn’t even happen!!”

“I am youkai. You are hanyou. Our roles, our lives and our destinies are vastly different. There... can be nothing more," Sesshomaru recited dejectedly.

“And companionship means nothing to you!?” Inuyasha's anger finally got the best of him. Growling, he pushed Sesshomaru backwards, throwing him onto the bed fiercely.

Inuyasha pinned the startled youkai's wrists to the bedding.

Companionship? I was,... speaking of something entirely different... Had it been in his genes, Sesshomaru would have colored at his realization.

“Com’on! We may be past our majority but we can still hang out like we used to! Like when we wrestled! I’m older now and stronger so I’ll definitely beat you!”

Inuyasha commenced with mock wrestling upon the bed trying to get his old friend to play back but to no avail. When Sesshomaru made no move to push back it only fueled the hanyou's resolution to make the demon remember him. He pushed and clawed (carefully) at the taller male's prone body, trying to grapple him into play fight.

Gods but Inuyasha had no idea what he was doing to him... The warmth his body pressing against his had confusing repercussions on Sesshomaru’s body; not only did he enjoy it but he wanted to “wrestle” Inuyasha back in a manner that was highly inappropriate for either of their stations to engage in, especially together.

But that heat... the tight ache that seemed to be consuming his entire being... it was very hard to ignore... and with Inuyasha's body so close...

Sesshomaru didn't think of the punishment he would surely receive at all when he used his superior powers and switched their positions so that Inuyasha was beneath him, his own claws easily pinning the hanyou's above his head, his nose moving to scent the half-demon's neck, rubbing his cheek against the thick, hot column of flesh there... Gods, even his scent smelled divine.

He wasn't the only one that was enjoying the contact, however. He didn't miss the hitch in his lord’s breath, the coloring his face took on, nor how his eyes fluttered shut and how his throat bobbed up, and it excited him.

So submissive...

Sesshomaru's hand moved to touch the soft skin of Inuyasha's cheek

However when Inuyasha’s breath hitched unexpectedly Sesshomaru came to his senses and pushed himself off and away from his old friend and always master.

Inuyasha sat up, eyes blinking rapidly, unsure of what exactly had just taken place.

“Wh-?”

“My apologies, I was out of line.” With that said Sesshomaru pushed himself backwards, bowing lowly, eyes trained intensely on the floor. He’d felt... embarrassed. An emotion that rarely surfaced, and in his mindless embarrassment he had nearly walked right out the door spouting apologies and just wanting to get as far away as possible. He had thankfully, however, caught himself, and instead found himself bowing in defeat, uncertain of yet anticipating his sure punishment for such a blatant show of disrespect.

Author's Note: Whoa. Okay, so this chapter... has a very different tone than the others... At least in my opinion... Weird since I have no idea how that happened... o.O; Not to mention Sess sounds a little - well, to put it nicely yet bluntly- penis-whipped/lovestruck/OOC... take your pick. X_X. I may go back and fix that later depending on how badly you guys stone me for it... >_> Anywho! A little prelude to their relationship, I think. Hehe. Hope you enjoyed!
