Just a little something that came to mind….I often wondered if Sesshomaru would be able to adapt to having a family…sister-in-law, nieces & nephews etc. This takes place after Kagome's return to the Feudal Era. She and Inuyasha are married and have started a family but as usual, Inuyasha's lack of tact gets him in trouble….

…

'What ails you, pup?'

'Sesshomaru,' Inuyasha growled, pausing in his perusal of the lake to glare at his older brother. 'What d'ya want?'

The taller demon cocked an elegant brow at the figure in red and smiled sardonically. 'Honestly Inuyasha. You're sighing so loudly that I overheard you forty miles away. Plus I was on my way here anyways, with presents for Rin & that nephew of mine,' A wicked grin curved his well shaped lips. 'And the temptation to discover exactly what could have the village idiot like you on the edge of depression was just too much to resist.'

He sat on the floor next to the hanyou. 'Now, as that miko of yours would say, 'Spill it'.'

…..

Inuyasha contemplated telling Sesshomaru to go stick Bakusaiga up his ass, but then his ears drooped and shoulders slumped. A slanted gold eye, similar in colour to his younger brother's narrowed ever so slightly at the telltale movement and Sesshomaru frowned to himself.

'Ok pup, let me guess….you fucked up royally with the miko…again…'

Inuyasha seemed to wilt even further. 'I migfnkrnkaa…..,' he mumbled into the front of his robe.

'Half wit brother of mine, not even MY enhanced hearing could have picked up that,' Sesshomaru stated, clamping down on the urge to smack the back of the hanyou's head.

Inuyasha sighed and took a deep breath. 'I said….She borrowed one of Sango's slayer outfits while her clothes were drying. But when she tried to put it on, it was too tight. Ever since she had our pup, she's become a BIT more rounded than Sango in the ass, hips and breasts y'know….'

Sesshomaru could see where this was heading and his eyes began to sparkle with amusement. 'Inuyasha, by our father's swords, please tell me you didn't -,' he began.

'Afraid so,' Inuyasha interjected. 'What was I supposed to do? The damn thing obviously wasn't going to go up and she was huffing like a pig demon in heat trying to get into it. 'Sides, she's always telling me to be honest with her!'

Sesshomaru could no longer hold in his mirth. Wrapping his arms around his midsection, Inuyasha's normally stoic and reserved older brother fell sideways onto the grass, tears of laughter streaming from his eyes as he rolled helplessly from side to side. 'I-I…you….called….woman…fat….dumbass…' was all he could get out.

Inuyasha jumped to his feet and glared at the demon. Drawing back his foot, he delivered a swift kick to the other man's ribs, a kick that was barely felt as Sesshomaru continued to gasp for breath. 'Fucking bastard,' he snarled as he stormed off into the forest, his brother's peals of laughter following him back all the way to the village.

THE END
