Head Trauma

Sesshoumaru arrived at his castle and narrowed his eyes slightly. He could smell the warm musky scent of Inuyasha, and he felt his mouth began to water. He looked up at a small window illuminated in amber light and smiled at the white clothed figure within. Inuyasha was in their bedroom chambers, perhaps getting ready for the night's festivities. Sesshoumaru walked into the grand foyer of the castle and nodded his head at Orika, the demoness sphinx who was Rin's caregiver.

Rin yawned sleepily upon being transferred from Sesshoumaru's strong arm to Orika's smaller and skinnier arms. She smiled up at the sphinx demoness and fisted her eyes.

"Orika, I met another child! And he was a kitsune demon too!"

"You did?" Orika purred to the excited but exhausted little girl. Sesshoumaru had found Orika in the woods shortly after he found Rin. The demoness was mourning the loss of her kit, who was roughly the same age and sex as Rin. Sesshoumaru offered her a position within his household, mainly because Jaken had no sort of parental skils and would often let Rin fall and skin her precious legs or bang her sensitive hands.

Rin nodded and yawned, stretching her hands out into Orika's long red hair. "He was nice, just like you," She murmured and then yawned again. Orika chuckled and lovingly nuzzled Rin and bowed at Sesshoumaru.

"Master Inuyasha arrived shortly. He is in your chambers and I have equipped him with chocolates, fruits, and wine." Orika bowed again, this time with a smirk on her face. "I trust that you will be pleased."

Sesshoumaru returned the smirk. "Pleased? Several times, I hope. Several times." He chucked a now sleeping Rin under the chin and walked away, grateful that Orika waited until he was halfway up the steps to chuckle. She was one of the few people who which he actually cared about what they thought of him. Orika knew that Inuyasha was Sesshoumaru's half-brother, and thought it a good idea to preserve the family's blood. She had tried many times to explain to her Master that he was capable of having children (most hanyou are despite sex), but Inuyasha had freaked out and ran away back to his ningen friends when she told him that. Orika was the one who looked after Sesshoumaru when he was going through separation chagrin and urged him to go after the one he loved.


~Upstairs~

Inuyasha smiled at the way the bedroom looked. He brought out the finest of silk sheets to place on the huge bed, had a crackling fire going, and the tray of Sesshoumaru's favorite foods beside the bed. Inuyasha grinned at his handiwork-he never had thought himself as a romantic. He sat down on the red and gold embroidered silk sheets, laid back, and closed his eyes, waiting for Sesshoumaru.

Inuyasha awoke to see a dark visage in the corner. He rubbed his eyes and inhaled deeply, relaxing."Didn't your mother ever teach you not ta stare?" Inuyasha chastised, giving Sesshoumaru a fake frown.

"No. But she did teach me not to trust any situation that seems better than it should be." Sesshoumaru walked over to the bed, dressed in a simple black mandarin collar tunic with matching wide leg pants. Inuyasha stared at Sesshoumaru in wonder. His brother's beauty never ceased to amaze him. Even with one arm missing, Sesshoumaru could not be called anything less than magnificent. He reached out and deftly slid the kimono Inuyasha was wearing off one shoulder and kissed the warm creamy skin, illiciting a low purr from the hanyou.

Inuyasha pulled at the tunic and whined upon seeing the scarred stump of where an arm used to be. Sesshoumaru gave his brother a warm look and licked his cheek lovingly.

"It was so long ago and over a trivial matter. Forgive yourself, as I have," Sesshoumaru whispered, licking Inuyasha's cheek again. Unhappiness settled within him as he tasted the salty tears. Inuyasha harbored guilt over cutting off Sesshoumaru's arm, but that incident is what truly brought their feelings to light. They had always had a subtle flirtation, something to engage in when bored. But after Inuyasha had been bound to the Goshinboku Tree, Sesshoumaru began having sharp pains, as if he couldn't breathe. Those pains led him to the Goshinbuku, where his brother was trapped. Many days were spent trying to pull the arrow from Inuyasha's chest. The burning of Sesshoumaru's hands was nothing compared to the burning in his heart. Without Inuyasha, he would surely die. Twenty years worth of attempts were made until one day, on his way to the village, Sesshoumaru collapsed. Yoichi, one of Sesshoumaru's guards, was following him and gathered the fallen youkai and brought him back to the castle. There, Sesshoumaru slept for thirty years.

The day Sesshoumaru awakened was the same day that Kagome broke Kikyo's spell and set Inuyasha free. It was also the day Sesshoumaru admitted to himself how much he needed Inuyasha. By then though, they had over fifty years of resentment and bad blood that had all but dissappeared during their dormancy. He had heard about the ningen miko shattering the jewel and how shards were scattered all about the land. He heard of the mystic collar placed around his beloved's neck to 'keep him in check', but pity was too far a reach from Sesshoumaru's scorned heart. Too far a reach until he spotted his brother and his 'Band of Angels'. It seemed feasible that if he were to search for the shards than eventually he would come across his detached hanyou brother. His luck cashed in when one day he heard the group approaching and hid in a tree. The ningen miko was complaining about something Inuyasha had did or said and out of nowhere she screamed for him to sit and Inuyasha's beautiful face slammed to the ground before Sesshoumaru could jump out of the tree and slice the girl's neck open. The humilitation and anger was all over Inuyasha's face, but his friends seemed to be unaware of it. Sesshoumaru had to hold back from jumping down and killing them all. His heart was torn and he felt guilt at the fact that his brother felt like abuse was the only attention he could recieve.

Then came the fateful day when the two brothers met face to face. It was in a Dandellion field, Inuyasha's mother's favorite flower. A gentle breeze blew through their hair, appearing as two huge white fans opening up.

"So Sessoumaru, what brings ya here to this field?" Inuyasha shouted over the rustle of the wind through the flowers. Sesshoumaru gave Inuyasha a cold smile and unsheathed Tokijin.

"You know I came for the shards. And for Tetsaiga." Inuyasha gave his brother a sharp look and snorted. "Feh! And how pray tell were you going to get those from me? Ask poilitely or something?"

Sesshoumaru wore an impaitent look. Being here with Inuyasha was trifling, and all he wanted to do was kill him and try to move on with the rest of his life. "I was going to kill you, hanyou."

Inuyasha gasped and Sesshoumaru flinched. He had never in his entire life referred to Inuyasha as 'hanyou'. It was a direct slap in the face, but Sesshoumaru held firm and did not relent. Inuyasha's chin quivered as he withdrew Tetsaiga and transformed it into it's stronger form.

"Did that make you feel better?!!" Inuyasha shouted, assuming fighting stance position. How dare Sesshoumaru insult him that way?!

"No..watching your blood drip from my sword will make me feel better," Sesshoumaru snarled, feeling the demon within pushing up to the surface, threatening to break through.

Inuyasha returned the cold smile and advanced, sparring with his brother. The fight seemed to be equally matched, until Sesshoumaru started to taunt him.

"Why do you court these uptight, bitchy mikos?" Sesshoumaru asked, dodging a swing from Tetsaiga. "I saw you in the forest the other day, brother. Why do you allow yourself to be humiliated so?" Inuyasha jumped away from Sesshoumaru and glared at him, panting.

"Why? It's not like you ever cared about me. You practically handed me over to Kikyo gift wrapped. I was just a toy, something for you to use."

Sesshoumaru stared at Inuyasha. "Filthy half-breed. I should have killed you and your whore mother while you were in her womb!" Inuyasha screamed and charged at Sesshoumaru, Tetsaiga pointed straight at his chest. Sesshoumaru caught the blade, but realized too late what Inuyasha had planned.

"IRON REVER SOUL STEALER!" Inuyasha shouted and went to claw through Sesshoumaru's body, but a sharp turn landed Inuyasha's claws into Sesshoumaru's shoulder. The anguished cry ran through Inuyasha's body like cold water, and he stood there, his arm and hand drenched in blood and bits of bone. Sesshoumaru's body lay to the left, his sole arm to the right. The flowers now had a pinkish look to them, they were covered by so many splatters of blood.

"Kill me," Sesshoumaru pleaded, his cold amber eyes now warmed and glossy with pain. "Kill me and put me back into the sleep i shared with you." Inuyasha stared at Sesshoumaru. "Sleep you shared with me? What are you saying?" Inuyasha knelt down and placed a hand over the one that was clutching at his brother's shoulder.

Sesshoumaru smiled. "I tried for twenty years to break Kikyo's spell. Look at my arm, you can see the burn marks from the arrow. Then, I fell into a deep dark sleep until the day you awoke again. I can not love without you, Yash," Sesshoumaru whispered.The rapid loss of blood was making Sesshoumaru weak and he nearly fainted. Inuyasha stared in horror at his brother, at the amputated arm, and at the scars that were on that arm and began to sob hysterically. Inuyasha bent and kissed Sesshoumaru's face and licked away the small nicks and cuts that were already beginning to heal. He picked up his youkai brother and with as much speed as he could muster, carry him away to the Western Lands, where they both grew up.

"What are you thinking about?" Inuyasha asked huskily as Sesshoumaru lay beside him. They were both naked and staring up at the moon through the skylight in the bedroom. Inuyasha had taken a trip to the modern era and saw a picture of a castle with a skylight in the bedroom and thought it most romantic, and pitched the idea to Sesshoumaru. The youkai rarely said no to Inuyasha's (or Rin's) wishes, so a skylight was put in, right above the bed.

Sesshoumaru sighed and moved his head closer to Inuyasha's chest. "I was thinking of the day you snatched my arm off." A whimper from Inuyasha made Sesshoumaru wrap his arm around his lover. "Remember, it was also the day we realized how much in love we were with each other. The day you made a commitment to me." Inuyasha smiled and held Sesshoumaru tightly. Even though neither of them marked the other, the love and intent was there. Orika talked with Inuyasha often about how Sesshoumaru and Rin needed him, and how he always seemed to make the Western Lord happy.

Inuyasha flipped over Sesshoumaru and looked down into his beloved brother's face. Sesshoumaru smiled and poked Inuyasha on the nose, making the hanyou sneeze. Inuyasha grinned and began to kiss the soft satiny flesh of the youkai's neck, causing growls and whimpers. Inuyasha reached for one of the chocolates and let the candy melt in his mouth a little before giving Sesshoumaru a sweet kiss.

"Ah, the spoils of the modern era," Sess joked as Inuyasha continued kissing down his face and chest. A thought entered Sess's mind, despite the wonderful fulfillment his body was receving.

'I wonder how the miko is faring?'

~In the Cave~

Kagome paced about the cave, nearly driving ruts in the floor. 'I can't belive dog-boy let his brother throw me in this cave! I guess it makes sense, since they're fucking and all.' Kagome walked over to the right side of the cave, where a few small cracks allowed a bit of moonlight to come through. The cracks were no wider than an ink pen barrel, and gave only small blasts of light.

'I bet I could have shot an arrow through there and gotten out. But all my arrows are outside!' Kagome's mind raced as her stomach growled. She frowned and flounced down on a makeshift bench that someone else who had once been captive in the cave constructed. She smiled and lifted up her shirt, remembering an Almond Joy she had placed there to keep away from Souta during her last visit. The candy was gooey from the heat, but it was good and Kagome was grateful she had it. She devoured the candy within moments and stared around the cave trying not to cry. The candy burned her throat, which was already sore from screaming to be released from the cave.

'Stupid mutt. I could be riding in Hojo's new Honda Civic, but NOOOOO! Hoity toity of the Western Lands had to be the hero of the world today!' Kagome pulled her knees up under her chin and wrapped her arms around them, rocking back and forth. She closed her eyes for a moment and was beginning to relax when she felt something fall on her head. Assuming it was a rock, she brushed over her head with her hand and continued to mope. Then something fell again. And again. It seemed almost like it was raining. Kagome touched her hair again and pulled her hand away and screamed loud enough for everyone ever created to hear. She was right. It was raining.

Maggots.

She stared at the top of the cave, and the ceiling seemed to come alive and breathe under the pressure of so many maggots. They were everywhere! Falling into her hair, on her shirt, down her shirt, in her socks, and she screamed and ran around the cave, tripping and falling blindly over rocks and stumbling like an idiot. She took off her shirt and started spinning it around, trying to keep the bugs away from her. Falling on the ground, she covered her eyes and sobbed hysterically. When she opened her eyes, all the maggots were gone. Almost as if they never existed. The only thing on Kagome were the cuts and bruises from running around the cave and falling. She ran her hand through her hair and broke down again, this time sobbing in relief. She had felt them, and they felt so real! She laughed and chalked it up to being scared and walked over and sat down on the bench again. Her eyes became heavy, and she lay her head down and soon found herself asleep.

'Is something crawling on my arm?' Kagome's mind signaled to her that something was wrong, very wrong. She felt something slide over her arm, something slimy and cold. Raising her head a little, her mouth gaped open in horror at the enormous slug that was covering her arm. It had moved successfully over her forearm and bicep, and was headed to her face! Screaming hoarsely, she bolted up and shook the slug off of her arm. It landed on the floor, but when Kagome went to stomp on it, it disappeared, much like how the maggots dissappeared.

But her arm was still covered in slime.

"I'm not going to sleep. Do you hear that Inuyasha! I'm not going to sleep so you can't bother me anymore!" Kagome screamed, turning in a circle in the cave. She fell to her knees and shook, rocking back and forth looking around the dark cave. "No, no sleeping. Sleep is the the mistress of death, and you will not kill me! No, not today, not yesterday, and never more!" Kagome's teeth began to chatter as the cave turned frigidly cold. Shivering, Kagome crawled around the cave, looking for her discarded shirt. Glimpsing at something white, she reached under the bench and when she pulled back her hand and sat up, her hand was covered in a dark fluid. Sniffing, she brought two of her fingers to her nose and nearly vomited from the smell.

Of course, it was blood.

A huge pool of blood sat underneath the bench, and Kagome looked down slowly to see a hole in her stomach, underneath her bra. Looking back up, she saw Inuyasha's face smile at her as he retracted his hand and offered her the intestines that were once inside of her stomach. Her mouth hung open and she fell backwards on the cave floor. The moment she fell, roaches, catepillars, moths, worms, and other creepy crawlies covered her body and drowned out her screams, which no one could hear anyway.

~At the Castle~

Sesshoumaru moaned as Inuyasha kissed down his stomach, down to the soft silver curls of his pubic hair. He fingered one such curl, his clawed hand teasing the already enmormously erect shaft. A milky drop of cum leaked from the shaft and threatened to fall, but Inuyasha, always the hero, saved the drop from a lonely existence on the bed covers by offering a safe haven in his mouth. He smiled and continued to lick lazily over the shaft, relishing each and every pearl drop that fell in his mouth. Sesshoumaru grunted and whimpered, thrusting his hips forward to encourage the hot waiting cavern below him. His fingers found their way into Inuyasha's soft hair and gingerly tugged on an ultra-sensitive ear. Inuyasha yipped and began to suck harder as his ear was handled more roughly.

"Dirty little puppy," Sesshoumaru cooed as Inuyasha continued his ministrations, making the youkai below him shiver and throb slightly. Sesshoumaru's eyes closed as he relished in the fact that he had finally succeeded in getting Inuyasha all to himself. It had taken many, many years, to convince Inuyasha of both of their feelings, and it seemed like whenever Sesshoumaru had gotten close, someone else always came along who ironically wanted more and offered less.

Inuyasha whined briefly before licking back up Sesshoumaru's chest and neck, up over his chin and to his mouth, where a somewhat salty kiss was shared. Inuyasha smiled and was flipped over so that Sesshoumaru was on top. Inuyasha ran his hands over his lover's back gently and kissed him deeply and slow. Tears welled in his eyes as he and his brother locked eyes and smiled bashfully at each other. They had shared many intimate moments, but this moment was indeed special.

"Are you sure?" Sesshoumaru's calm, crystal voice spoke to Inuyasha, their faces only moments apart. Inuyasha gave a barely visible nod and turned his head to the right, baring his neck and shoulder. Sesshoumaru's eyes clouded red for a moment as he sank his fangs deep into his brother's shoulder. A tear fell from his eye as he felt the hanyou jerk and hitch underneath him. Being bitten by anything hurts, and especially so if that bite goes all the way down to bone. Tears also came from Inuyasha's eyes, but more tears of joy than pain. Pain was something he could easily cope with. Pain was something that came at any time, not caring who was around or what you had to do. Pain was an old friend of his, one of the only things in his life he could ever truly count on. Joy, however, was something new. Joy was a ray of sunshine through darkness, a gilmmer of hope when faith was scarce. Joy was something in Sesshoumaru that was denied long ago because of fear. Inuyasha sighed contentedly as the now healing wound was licked and fawned over.

"You will never be alone or hunt for acceptance again, Inuyasha. You are mine, just as I am yours." Sesshoumaru licked at the stream of tears falling from his brother's eyes and kissed him passionately. The kiss heated things between them, and soon Sesshoumaru was blissfully thrusting away inside of his new mate, the love of his life.

"Tell me," Inuyasha's voice came over Sesshoumaru like a thick haze. Inuyasha was underneath, stroking himself off as his brother held on to one of his thighs and gracefully thrusted. He knew what his brother wanted and needed. Confirmation. Sesshoumaru gave him an smoldering glare and leaned toward one of the tender dog ears, rolling his stomach and hips to continue thrusting.

"I want you." A moan deep from Inuyasha's throat excited both of them and more tears fell from his eyes.

"I need you." Sesshoumaru's eyes met Inuyasha's and drank in the beauty of the conception of human and youkai.

"I love you." The hushed whisper washed over Inuyasha like soothing water from the hot springs located underneath the castle. Their lips met again in such immense heat, fire envied them. Inuyasha's eyes flashed red for a moment, and the purple stripes that marked Sesshoumaru's face marked his own as he rode out the intense wave of his orgasm. Sesshoumaru came deep inside of Inuyasha seconds later, throwing back his head and howling loud enough to crack the obsidian vase in Orika's room, three floors below them. Fangs met Inuyasha's shoulder again after Sesshoumaru's howl to sample the sweet, copperish blood and his hot moist tongue licked the wound closed again.

"Don't ever leave me again," Sesshoumaru whispered, classically vulnerable after making love to Inuyasha. The hanyou silently sighed and looked up outside at the starry sky.

"Kagome, be safe in the Southern Caves and don't be mad at us. We needed to teach you a lesson." The whisper was barely audible, and even though Sesshoumaru's ears wiggled, he did not awaken. Inuyasha sighed again and closed his golden eyes and attempted to fall into a dreamless sleep.

The show now over, Kagura smirked as she tossed her feather into the air and jumped on it, sailing to Naraku's castle to confirm their suspicions and to ponder over what to do with the captive miko. The images of Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru making love burned in her mind as she flew weightlessly through the sky, back to the hell she loosely referred to as 'home'.

~Naraku's Lair~

Naraku happily twirled a lock of his dark green hair around his finger upon Kagura's delieverance of news. He anxiously awaited for the day for Inuyasha and the living miko to fall out. He was a filthy hanyou, and the miko should have kept her stupid eyes open. Still...the treachery was committed with his own kin! The thought both slightly disgusted and aroused Naraku at the same time. Inuyasha was too rough for him, but Sesshoumaru was effeminate, much like him. The thought of thrusting his loins into Sesshoumaru's mouth made Naraku's mouth water and Kagura watched a pink tongue slither out and bathe the half-demon's lips.

"I take it you are pleased with my news," Kagura said, bowing. She secretly hoped that telling Naraku of this would distract him from her, atleast until she could find a way to get her own soul and away from Naraku.

Naraku stood and walked over to Kagura, holding her chin in his hands. He glared into her ruby eyes and delivered a crushing kiss to her lips and ripped open her kimono. "Before the first light we will fetch the miko from the caves. Until then," He drawled, running a finger down Kagura's heaving bare chest, "I will amuse myself with other activities." He threw Kagura to the ground and began to invade the tight, familliar passage, relishing in the woman's agonizing screams.

~In the Cave~

Kagome sat on the floor in the fetal position, eyes wide open. She watched a faerie jump about the cave, pointing and laughing at her. She tried to block out the sensation of her father pistoning away inside her, and his wet kisses on her shoulders and neck made her stomach churn. She met her mother's eyes as Oassa looked at her daughter, anxious for her own turn to defile her.

'Please stop hurting me.' The visions laughed and then faded away, but the blood still ran from Kagome's abused hole, the tears still ran from her stinging eyes.
