A/N: This chapter is WAFF. No lemons for this one, but the next one will have them! I figured I'd give Inu a break *giggles*

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

The rest of the week went by with little trouble. Though, Inuyasha was feeling rather sore the first few days when coming home from work. Between Miroku and Kagome ravishing him around every turn, the hanyou could not help but wonder if anyone had died from an overdose of intercourse.

Sesshoumaru contacted him and told his brother that they would be going to dinner on Friday night and that he would be by early to make sure Inuyasha was presentable.

"Yeah, yeah.. Whatever. Just let me get out early enough to pick up Kagome, okay?"

"Oh, you will not need to worry about your transportation, little brother. I have already made arrangements for your female. Perhaps I should call and have some flowers sent in your name as well? I'm not sure I can trust you to take the initiative to impress her."

"Why you--!.. Feh, just call the fucking things in if you want. But you're not getting a 'thanks' out of me, you hear?" growled the half demon.

"I wouldn't expect one from you, Inuyasha," Sesshoumaru replied matter of factly. "Then, I shall see you this Friday. And we will be taking my car, so please do try not to ruin my interior."

He hung up to the sound of his younger sibling yelling insults through the phone. Leaning back, he slid his fingers through his silky, silver tresses and smirked to himself as he sat in a rather expensive looking chair. The demon reached over, took a picture from a nearby side table, and looked it over.

The picture was of Inuyasha as merely a toddler with a youthful Sesshoumaru as they seemed to be sharing a rather tender moment as Inuyasha lay sleeping in his lap upon a couch.

"So, little brother. After all these years, we meet again. I see time has not changed your personality for the better, though.." He traced a finger along the frame. "You grew to resent me for the way I treated you, but I was only doing so for your well being. You were too spoiled by our father and I knew you would never grow to be strong if I did not show you how."

With a sigh, he set the picture back down and stood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friday morning came and Inuyasha heard the polite knocking of his brother promptly at 10 AM. When he answered door, they both gave critical gazes over one another. The elder demon was dressed much similarly to what he had been the night at the club, but was not wearing the jacket. Inuyasha, however, wore a red, his favorite color, tank top, a pair of jeans that were ripped up at the knees, and a worn pair of tennis shoes.

"We are not going anywhere until you change. Any respectable store wouldn't even let you through the door dressed like that."

"I like this outfit, jerk. You want me to change? Make me."

They stared at one another silently, waiting for the next move. Without saying a word, Sesshoumaru came through the door, hoisted his startled baby brother over his shoulder, and walked into his bedroom.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?? Put me down you asshole!" The hanyou growled loudly and tried to wiggle himself free only to receive a swat across the backside to silence him.

"Be still. You're the one that said I should make you if I wanted you to change, after all." Sesshoumaru deposited the flabbergasted half youkai unceremoniously upon his bed before looking for a change of clothes.

It took a moment for Inuyasha to snap back to reality. He was still stunned that his brother actually treated him as if he were still a child! His mouth hung open as he watched.

Sesshoumaru turned around with a new outfit draped over his arm and took notice of his younger brother's face. "Come now, Inuyasha. That hit didn't hurt you. Now, change. We have much to do today."

Trying to be defiant still, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and scowled. "I told you I'm not changing."

The elder demon let out a soft sigh and laid the clothes upon the bed. "Have it your way, Inuyasha. If you're going to act like a child, then I will have to treat you as such." He leaned over, took Inuyasha’s shirt bottom, and hoisted it over his head. The younger youkai started to struggle.

"What do you think you're doing? Get the hell away from me, bastard!" He tried to scramble off his bed to get away, but a pair of hands came to waist and held him still. Quickly, they loosened his jeans and started to pull them off. Inuyamademade a yelp of surprise and started to thrash about more.

"Inuyasha, you're changing your clothes whether you want to or not. Now stop moving around so I can get this shameless excuse for a pair of pants off of you."

The hanyou was on his back now and tried slapping his brother's hands away so he could retrieve his pants. They battled in a tug-of-war with the material that was bunched around his knees. "NO! Leave me the fuck alone and stop trying to undress me!"

As much as he hated to do such a degrading action towards their demon dog heritage, he had to end this asinine struggle. He reached for a nearby magazine, rolled it up, and gave Inuyasha a swat on the nose as if he were a common mutt.

Inuyasha's amber eyes shot open wide afterward and was too shocked to stop his pants from being removed completely. His shoes had been lost in the battle. He blinked a few times as he realized he was only in his underpants now, but that Sesshoumaru was starting to slide the new pair of jeans up his thighs. He sat up quickly and scuttled back from his brother's grasp.

"I can dress myself!.." Inuyasha secured the much nicer looking pair of jeans and grabbed the black T-shirt that lay upon his bed. He was too ashamed to mention having to be smacked with a rolled up magazine.

As he was tying his shoes once again, Sesshoumaru retrieved the wrinkled garments from the floor and put them into a basket of old clothes. "I do apologize for that, but you left me no choice, brother."

The hanyou grumbled angrily and muttered under his breath, ".. Asshole.." even though he knew Sesshoumaru would be able to hear it.

"If you're quite finished, Inuyasha, I hope we can leave before it grows too much later." The elder brother made his way out with Inuyasha sulking behind him. They climbed into Sesshoumaru's Chrysler Crossfire Limited Coupe that was a matching silver color to his silken hair. "Stop pouting. My actions are only for your own good, little brother."

"Feh.."

With no words exchanged, they drove downtown to a rather upscale clothing store. Inuyasha flickered an ear with annoyance. The last thing he wanted to be doing was clothes shopping with his older brother. Nevertheless, he followed Sesshoumaru through the racks.

"You'll thank me later, Inuyasha. Now, go try these on." He held out the clothes and waited for Inuyasha to take them, but the hanyou just gave him a look. "Do we have to have a repeat performance of this morning? Take them and go change."

The half demon gave a snort and took the clothes as he skulked into one of the changing rooms. After a few tries, he actually came across an outfit he did not mind too much.

"If you're through, little brother, I'd like to see," came Sesshoumaru's voice from the other side of the changing room door.

The lock slid open and Inuyasha emerged. He adorned a pair of dress slacks and a sky blue, cotton dress shirt. The younger youkai was barefoot though and was busily trying to tuck in his shirt. Sesshoumaru stepped forward and walked in a circle as he eyed his brother.

Inuyasha could not help but feel as if he were a piece of meat at a butcher shop and started to scratch his ear. "So?"

"I think this will do well. Now take them off and we'll find a pair of shoes."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It grew later, but the shopping trip proved fruitful. The youkai brothers even had a light lunch at a sidewalk cafe before Sesshoumaru dragged his younger into a salon. Inuyasha protested and pouted the entire time, but he still endured. Once they left, Inuyasha hardly looked like himself.

Sesshoumaru looked at his watch. "We should be getting ready or your female will arrive before us." Once more, they climbed into his vehicle. This time, though, they went to Sesshoumaru's.

Inuyasha had never been inside his brother's home before. He was impressed with the size. Two stories and very contemporary in design. Artwork hung on almost every wall and expensive furniture decorated each room.

Sesshoumaru led his younger sibling through the house as they walked to his bedroom. He had a king-sized canopy bed with crimson red, silk sheets and more expensive artwork and furniture. There was even a gas fireplace that faced the foot of the bed.

"Shit, Sessh.. This place must have cost a fortune."

"You'll be able to afford one too if you continue working with Makkuro." Sesshoumaru unbuttoned his shirt and laid it on the bed before going to his walk-in closet to find a new shirt to wear.

Inuyasha sat on the edge of the bed and continued to gaze about the room before his eyes fell to the closet he had seen his brother disappear into. ".. I have to ask.. Why are you being so nice to me? You've hated me years and now, suddenly, you're acting as if nothing happened."

Sesshoumaru came back out buttoning a clean dress shirt and carefully tucked it into his pants so as not to wrinkle it. He sat down on the bed beside Inuyasha.

"I've never hated you. I was merely trying to make you stronger."

"Stronger? What the hell are you talking about." His dog ears flickered.

"Father pampered you because of your human blood. I was the only one that new, because you also had demon blood, that you did not need to be treated any differently than I. Father was raising you to be a helpless weakling. I made you become independent and made you be proud of your demon heritage that others took for granted."

Inuyasha was struck dumb with his brother's confession. When he thought over so many occasions of his older brother, he could vaguely remember him saying he needed to learn how to take care of himself and not rely on others to save him. The hanyou just never realized it was out of love and not hatred that made Sesshoumaru act the ways he did.

".. Sessh.."

"You have our father's demon blood within your veins. I did not want you to act like anything less." Sesshoumaru stood and went into his bathroom to finish getting ready. He called, "You should change, Inuyasha. It's getting late."

Weakly, Inuyasha stood and began to undress and change into his new clothes. He could not stop thinking about what was just said and about all the years he had gone through thinking his brother hated him. He slipped his feet into the new shoes and walked into the bathroom as well.

Sesshoumaru was looking in the mirror and straightening his tie as he noticed Inuyasha standing by the doorway watching him. He came towards the mirror slowly, but turned and locked him in a sudden embrace. The hug caught the elder demon off guard, but he tentatively brought his arms around and returned the favor.

".. You're wrinkling my shirt, little brother," he said with a warm tone and gently patted the hanyou's shoulder to get him to release.

Inuyasha's arms slipped back to his sides and he looked away sheepishly. ".. Sorry.."

Sesshoumaru could smell the faint scent of salt from the stray tears that welled in his brother's eyes. "It's fine. But I'm glad you came in before I had to get you myself." He took a nicely wrapped box from the counter and handed it to him. "Here. Makkuro wanted me to give you this as a peace offering."

He took it from his brother with curiosity and slit the ribbon that held the present closed. After removing the lid, Inuyasha looked inside and found a bottle of expensive cologne. He chuckled softly. "Are you sure you're not saying I smell?"

A soft smirk came to Sesshoumaru's face. "I didn't think I had to tell you."

"Feh.." smiled Inuyasha and took the bottle out. "It's not strong, is it? I can't even walk by a department store entrance without feeling dizzy from the fumes."

"Makkuro only suggested, but I was the one that chose it. And no, it is the lightest they have. I would hope you think me more creative than killing you with cologne, dear brother."

He replied with a cocky smirk before giving the bottle a sniff. The smell did not bother him at all. In fact, he liked it. The hanyou gave a sprits upon himself from arm's length before returning the bottle to the gift box. ".. Thanks, Sessh."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sesshoumaru drove the both of them to the restaurant and handed the valet his key. "If I do not get my car back precisely the way I left it, heads will roll. And I do mean literally." He made his point by flashing his claws. The boy gave a tremble and nodded quickly before going to park.

Inuyasha raised a brow as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Intimidation does pay off, little brother. Now, let's sit down and wait for our dining guests inside, shall we?" and off he sauntered with his head held high with the half demon strolling behind.

At their table, there lay a large bouquet of red, long stemmed roses. Inuyasha could smell their sweet aroma all around the table.

"Those are for your female and they are from you. I had no prior knowledge to the event and had no part in their purchase." Sesshoumaru sat himself down and pulled his chair in. "When she arrives, give her the flower and seat her like a gentleman. She should be arriving in a few moments."

Inuyasha sat down as he looked over the roses. "Her name is 'Kagome', you know. Not 'your female'."

"But she is your female, dear brother. She is covered in your scent and I have seen her mark. I suppose I should congratulate you for choosing a mate. Especially one as exquisite, even for a human."

"Thanks.. I guess." The hanyou ran his clawed fingers over the many utensils that littered either side of his place setting.

"I couldn't help notice that your human male friend also smells of you.." The corner of his mouth curled softly.

Inuyasha's ears shot up and he began to blush immediately before looking away. "Shut up... I don't want to hear it from you."

"I'm only surprised you haven't mentioned anything about me. Surely you must have smelled the male on me as well."

The younger brother choked on his breath and gave his tie knot a tug as he coughed. "Y-you??"

"I met him through Makkuro. I'm not sure he'd be quite to your liking, but he fits me just fine." Sesshoumaru was smirking pleasantly as he watched his little brother sputter in shock. "His name is, Naraku and he can be quite a handful, but he knows his place with me."

Inuyasha slapped his hand over his face. "Oh, gods.. I don't think I wanted to hear all that before I ate."

The elder demon leaned in. "I'd straighten yourself if I were you, Inuyasha. Your female has arrived."

He dropped his hand and turned his head towards the doors to see Kagome as well as Miroku . Miroku was dressed very nicely as well, but it was Kagome that made his canine ears perk upward. Her hair was done in an up do with small ringlets framing her face. She wore a beautiful, navy blue spaghetti strapped dress that went to the floor and had a matching lace shirt cover. She wore a simple pendant necklace and a bracelet that Inuyasha had giving her one Valentine's Day.

The hanyou could not speak. He had never seen Kagome so stunning before. He was brought back to earth with a helping nudge in the shin from Sesshoumaru's foot before he stood. Inuyasha stood as well and clumsily reached for the roses as Kagome and Miroku were let to the table.

Kagome's cheeks tinted pink as she saw her mate. She thought he was absolutely handsome in his dress clothes. However, she did not quite care for his carefully combed and tied back hair. She liked his untamed silver mane much better. He offered the bouquet with a whispered, ".. Wow.."

Inuyasha could not stop staring at her even as she took the flowers. "Oh, they're beautiful, Inuyasha. Thank you so much." She inhaled their fragrance before setting them out of the way, so she could come closer. The young lovers hugged each other tightly and shared a long kiss.

When they were finished, Inuyasha remembered to pull the chair back for Kagome to sit in. "Thank you, Inuyasha. You're being so well mannered tonight." She seated herself and he slid her chair closer to the table before settling back down.

Sesshoumaru even pulled the chair beside him out for Miroku, much to his embarrassment. Once they were seated, Kagome, Sesshoumaru, and Miroku unfolded their napkins and placed them onto their lap. Inuyasha quickly followed suit before returning to gazing at the goddess sitting next to him.

"You look beautiful, Kagome.." His amber eyes twinkled.

"And you look incredibly handsome, Inuyasha." She leaned over to kiss him again and caught the scent of his cologne. She gave his cheek a peek just to get another sniff, then whispered into his ear. "You smell so good.. I don't know if I'll be able to keep my hands off you tonight."

The hanyou grinned and took her hand into his own to give it a squeeze. "I don't mind."

They were interrupted when the menus came and Inuyasha could only frown at the selection. He didn't like the sound of anything, really. They all shared a bottle of imported wine that Sesshoumaru had suggested and ordered their meals. He elder demon assured them that cost was not a problem since Makkuro was picking up the bill and would have insisted if she had been there in person.

Miroku wished he brought Sango with him. Sesshoumaru suggested another dinner so everyone could bring their significant other along and everyone agreed, but Inuyasha seemed to blush as he was nodding. For tonight, Miroku and the demon were satisfied enough with each other's company.

Their meal was filled with idle conversations and the occasional reprimand of Inuyasha by the other three as his table manners would be forgotten. All in all, the night was very enjoyable for the four.

The half youkai grew a little tipsy after having a few too many drinks and became incredibly clingy and affectionate to his mate. Sesshoumaru took care of the bill, courtesy of Madam Makkuro, and helped walk his brother out.

"At least he's a happy drunk," commented Miroku as Inuyasha gave Kagome a loving lick on the cheek.

"I'll trust you both to see him home then. Just let him know that Makkuro wants you both there tomorrow night." Sesshoumaru bid his goodbyes as his car pulled up in front of the restaurant and sped off into the night.

Just a moment after, the stretch limousine stopped before them and the driver stepped out to open the door for the three of them. Miroku was in first so he could help his inebriated friend inside, then Kagome with her flowers. Inuyasha sat between them with a silly grin and snuggled against his mate. If he had a tail, it would have been wagging happily.

"Mmm.. You're so pretty, Kagome." He nipped at her neck playfully. "Miroku's pretty too, but you're more pretty than he is.." The hanyou sat up and threw an arm around his companions. "I have pretty friends! And we all have sex with each other because we're all pretty.. Hey, Kagome?.. You wanna mate with me and Miro? A reg-el-lar threesome!" He held up two fingers, however as he spoke.

The humans blushed and tried to quiet him down until they could get home. Miroku's apartment was first. He was reluctant to leave though.

"Are you sure you'll be alright with him, Kagome?"

"Yes. He's comfortable now at least." She looked down where Inuyasha's face now came to rest in her breasts. The hanyou was smiling as he held onto her.

Miroku gave a soft smirk, but nodded and shut the door. The ride continued to Kagome's house. She had trouble prying him from her chest, but he let go with a whimper and followed her to her door.

"l'll let you stay here tonight, Inuyasha, but you have to behave yourself. Souta is having a friend sleep over tonight so you'll have to sleep in my bed."

The hanyou gave a shaky nod and followed his mate upstairs to her bedroom. Kagome saw her mother and explained that she was letting him stay over since he was still tipsy and the woman agreed.

Kagome changed into a pair of pajamas and tried to find something for Inuyasha to wear, but even her biggest shirt would not fit his muscular frame. "Guess you're just going to have to sleep in your underwear then."

"Aw.. Why can't we sleep naked? We can't have sex if you're wearing pants.." his ears drooped.

"Inuyasha! Be quiet. We're not doing that tonight, now let me help you get undressed." She unbuttoned his shirt and laid it down nicely so it would not wrinkle, then had to help him get his shoes off so he could remove his slacks.

Once he was only in his boxers, she laid him down in her bed and crawled in beside him. Lovingly, she tucked him in, but he was already starting to snore softly.

"Goodnight, Inuyasha." Kagome laid her head on his chest and let his scent lull her to sleep.

A/N: Wha-ha-ha. I slapped Naraku in here too. Two evil bishies just make everything right.
