The Mating Game

Sesshomaru slowly woke up to the scent of forest and earth though he didn’t open his eyes. Why should he? Sesshomaru was comfortable, warm, and at ease. He shifted a little bringing the smaller body closer to his own and buried his nose into the soft hair, breathing deeply of the soothing scent.

Wait, Body? Sesshomaru snapped his golden eyes open to silver white hair like his own.

Mmm. A demon could get used to this.

Ignoring his groggy youki, Sesshomaru slowly sat up so as not to wake the pup. InuYasha was curled on his side, his white hair splayed out around his head like a halo. InuYasha whimpered a little at the loss of his heat source.

What are you doing? Lay our ass back down so we can cuddle with our mate!

Sesshomaru raised a mental eyebrow “Our mate?”

Yes, our mate. I refuse to let that other half-breed to lay one finger on MY InuYasha?

The noble demon sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, already feeling a migraine coming on. This was why he chose to ignore his youki half the time. At that moment the pup beside him stirred. Sesshomaru turned his head in time to see InuYasha blink amber eyes open, his face flushed with sleep.

Aw. So cute lets pounce him.

Sesshomaru chose to ignore his youki yet again in favor of just staring at the angel layed out beside. InuYasha noticed his brothers aniki’s stare and shifted nervously under it. It was a moment before his brother spoke.

“What, may I ask, are you doing in my room? More precisely my bed?” He asked in his normal cold voice.

Who cares! We’re alone and he’s willingly in our bed. I say lets take advantage of this.

The pup in question blushed crimson at the question. Damn it. I must have fallen asleep. “I… I came in to check on you an… and I must have fallen asleep.” He stuttered, not able to look the elder demon in the eye.

YES! He was worried about us!

So?

So? SO? It means he loves us and that means there’s reason to celebrate!

No. It means he cares about our well being, it doesn’t mean he loves us.

You’re a fucking spoil sport.

InuYasha became more nervous as Sesshomaru remained silent and started to tremble a little. He must be pissed at me for entering his chambers without his permission.

Hmm. You smell that?

He’s scared. I don’t want him to be afraid. This is your fault fix it!

Sesshomaru mentally rolled his eyes before turning his attention back to his otouto. There was indeed a scent of fear clinging lightly to his brother and he seemed to be trembling. He brought his hand up and reached for InuYasha who winced slightly when he saw this. To his surprise the elegant but deadly hand, did not harm him, instead Sesshomaru caressed his cheek. He snapped his head up to stare in shock at his brother who was actually smiling softly.

Fuck I must be dead. Sesshy never smiles.

Before the pup had time to react Sesshomaru dipped his head and lightly kissed him. Slowly, as if in a dream, InuYasha responded, putting more pressure on the others lips. Sesshomaru’s hand slid to the nape of his neck while the other arm went around his waist.

The elder youki let loose a growl and pulled the smaller body flush against his. He nipped the pups bottom lip before soothing it with his tongue. InuYasha whimpered as he parted his corral lips to the questing intruder. Sesshomaru lost no time in thrusting inside the warm cavern and tasted the essence that was purely InuYasha. Growling harshly he roughly pushed the pup to the bed and stared hungrily at the flushed and panting hanyou, his raging hard on gave a twitch of anticipation.

Fuck! Lets pound him into the bed already!

Frustrated, Sesshomaru slammed his mouth against InuYasha’s and ground his hips into his otouto’s.

“Nng.” InuYasha moaned “Sess… Sesshomaru”

“Mine.” Sesshomaru whispered as he pulled back to admire his handiwork continuing to leisurely grind himself into InuYasha. Reaching to take the haori off that was hiding the delectable body from his view he was interrupted by knocking on his door. Very loud knocking. Very loud, annoying knocking. Very loud annoying, and precipitant knocking.

“WHAT?!” Sesshomaru called as his eyes flashed red from anger though his voice didn’t show it.

“My lord Sesshomaru, I’m sorry to disturb you but your father wishes to speak with Prince InuYasha immediately.” Jacken groveled through the door.

Damn it. Couldn’t this have waited!

Snarling to himself he reluctantly got off of the pup. “Go.” he growled.

Thinking he had angered his brother somehow the hanyou scrambled to the door before opening it he turned slightly. “Sesshomaru?”

“Leave at once hanyou!” He snapped.

Startled and hurt by the unexpected he left to see what his father wanted.

Don’t take your anger out on him!

He’ll get over it.

You’ve most likely lost any chance for us to be with him.

What do you mean?

Are you fucking kidding me!? Think about what you said to him!

Sesshomaru’s amber eyes widen slightly as realization hit him. He punched his pillow in anger “FUCK!”

InuYasha stared at his father like he had grown another head. “You want me to take Yoh on a picnic?” he asked in disbelief.

“Yes.” His tone was one of finality leaving no room for argument.

The hanyous ears drooped and his shoulders sagged in defeat, he wasn’t up for an argument. “Fine.”

“That’s my boy.” InuTaisho smiled. That was to easy. What happened between him and Sesshomaru?

InuYasha exited his fathers study and asked one of the servants to have a picnic basket for two made. Having done that he went in search for his mate to be. He found the dark hanyou playing with Renji in one of the gardens. InuYasha stopped and smiled albeit a little sadly wishing he and Sesshomaru could be like that.

In the garden Yoh had come up behind Renji and pushed him down before sprinting off in the opposite direction. Renji pushed himself up and laughing merrily chased after the errant Yoh. Before he had gotten anywhere Yoh felt strong arms wrap around his waist and pull him against a hard chest. He felt his feet leave the ground as Renji lifted him up and spun him around.

“Renji!” He laughed “Let me go!”

“Okay” Renji let him go mid spin and down tumbled the dark hanyou. The older demon smiled evilly before pouncing on the unsuspecting hanyou and straddled his waist. Yoh let out a breath as the weight settled on him when he tried to get back up. The demon above him started to tickle him mercilessly.

“Un…Uncle.” Yoh gasped out not long afterwards.

Renji nearly collapsed but managed to catch himself, his hands on either side of Yoh’s head. The young pup opened his deep violet eyes to be surprised by the proximity of the smoky grey ones. His breath hitched softly as Renji lowered his head and gently brushed his lips against Yoh’s own. When he felt no resistance he applied more pressure making his adoptive brother gasp in surprise. Taking this as an invitation he delved inside coaxing Yoh into a response.

InuYasha blushed a vibrant red in embarrassment yet at the same time felt guilty about intruding on such a private and intimate moment. At that second he whipped his head up and narrowed his eyes, looking down the hallway he had just come from. His father was coming and he didn’t want InuTaisho to find out about this, so walking about midway back the way he came from,

“Yoh, are you there?” He called as he turned back around.

Renji quickly got off of Yoh and hurried to make them both look like nothing had happened.

Grr. We finally had Yoh right where we wanted him and this fucker has to interrupt. Lets kill him already.

“What do you need InuYasha?” Yoh asked in a calmer manner as said hanyou walked into the garden.

“My father thought it would be a good idea to go on a picnic together.” Yoh noticed that InuYasha tried not to make a face as he said this.

Stifling his own laughter he asked “When do we leave?”

What! That mangy mutt is going to be alone with our mate? That is unacceptable!

Calm down. We need to find a way to break this up without bloodshed.

While he was struggling to control his enraged youki InuTaisho had come into the garden, smirking a little when he noticed Renji’s plight. Schooling his face, he walked over to the two hanyou’s.

“Well have you decided where to have the picnic, young ones?” He asked while holding in his glee as the incensed demons eyes flashed red before turning to their usual shade of smoky grey.

“Yes, and no I won’t tell you where.” Said to both Yoh and his father. Taisho raised his eyebrow but didn’t comment and walked off. InuYasha and Yoh walked away as well, heading toward the entrance hall leaving behind an incensed demon.

InuYasha had said that horses couldn’t go where they were going so right now both hanyou’s were walking through a peaceful forest.

“So where exactly are we going?” Yoh asked.

“To my secret hideout.” was the reply “When ever I want to get away from it all I go there”

“If it’s your secret why show me?” Curious violet eyes watched the white hanyou.

“Because we won’t have to worry about our idiotic fathers or any one else spying on us.” InuYasha snorted.

Yoh shook his head as they continued walking until they reached a cliff wall heavily covered in thick vines and moss. Both hanyou’s dog ears twisted a little as a faint sound of rumbling was heard and the cliff opened up into a clearing.

The dark hanyou followed his friend inside, looking around in interest. The clearing was bright not only from sunlight but as well as small glowing orbs floating all around. The sound of falling water reached his ears, making them twitch in the direction of the sound. Turning his head slightly Yoh saw a small pool next to a cliff with a waterfall feeding into the pool. Not far from the pool were vine covered ruins with pale stone showing between leaves and moss.

“What is this place?” Yoh asked softly as if afraid any loud noises might break the tranquility of the place.

“I think it used to be some type of temple but now it’s my haven.” InuYasha explained as he placed the basket on a moss covered stone and sat himself down on the ground. Leaning back he watched the clouds go by, both were content to just take the noise of the ruins and the peacefulness for awhile.

“So what was that in the garden?” InuYasha asked. Yoh bolted up staring wide eyed at his friend. “You saw that?!” His face turned an interesting shade of red before going pale.

“Relax. I won’t tell anyone.” the light hanyou laughed “If I wanted to get you in trouble I would have allowed my father to walk in on you two.”

Relief flooded through Yoh as he stared at his friend. It was then that he noticed that InuYasha looked a little sad. Cocking his head to the side he asked “What’s wrong?”

InuYasha quickly averted his eyes to the pool, staring intently at it. “Nothing.”

“Here’s a more accurate question. Want to tell me about it?” Yoh sighed.

InuYasha hesitated a bit before haltingly telling Yoh what had happened with his half-brother Sesshomaru. “When he called me hanyou it hurt me a lot more than when someone else says it.” The white hanyou was doing his best not to cry.

“Maybe… maybe he wasn’t mad at you per say.” Yoh said trying to make his friend feel better. He then giggled at a sudden thought. “Maybe he was angry at the fact that he couldn’t finish what he started.”

“That got a laugh out of InuYasha. “The great Sesshomaru having feelings for me. Like that will ever happen. Hell has a better chance of freezing over.”

Yoh stood up and tried to imitate Sesshomaru. “My name is Sesshomaru. I like acting like a cold hearted asshole. I hate ningens. They are weaklings not worthy of my time. Even though I hate ningens. I have a soft spot for my half-brother.”

At this point InuYasha was on the ground laughing his ass off and holding his sides. He was able to calm down enough to stand and say “What about you?” He then shifted his voice and stood leaning to the side a bit, arms crossed over his chest. “My name is Renji. I usually act like a stoic bastard to everyone except Yoh. I am over protective and will not let anyone near him.”

It was Yoh’s turn to laugh his ass off at the impression. From that point both talked happily and ate their lunch. There was no need to say anything out loud. They already knew there could be nothing between them but friendship. The two hanyous had already found the ones they loved and wanted to be with for the rest of their lives. Even if said demons didn’t know it or maybe not like them like that. As the hidden door closed behind them as they left the didn’t notice the person watching them from the shadows of the ruins with a thoughtful look.
