I start this short AU-ish one-shot collection on a whim. Suddenly.


1. First Meeting

"Inuyasha, meet your big brother, Sesshoumaru." If their Father was extremely nervous with this situation, he didn't let it show aside from turning white, like now. "Sesshoumaru," An awkward swallow followed, "This is Inuyasha."

Big obsidian eyes looked up at the higher narrowed golden orbs staring blankly at him. Inuyasha felt utterly scared, like a bunny seeing wolf. A very beautiful wolf. But he didn't want to get eaten! Eyes watered and sniffed loudly, Inuyasha turned around and ran toward two females sitting together on the picnic mat with a massive food basket nearby. He leaped into the arms of the midnight hair woman and hid his face in her chest, dared not to make a noise.

"This is the problem, Sesshoumaru. You make even a puppy cry without doing anything." The Father muttered under his breath.

Sesshoumaru ignored him and walked back to the house.


2. Doorway to [H]

"He always has trouble sleeping in a new place." Izayoi confessed worriedly. Beside her, the other two also peeked at the restless child kept tossing and turning in his bed.

"It is normal for a five year old child. Give him some time to get used to everything here." The older woman assured. "I think—" She cut herself off and hid a smile behind her hand.

The husband raised an eyebrow.

"Actually, we should head back to our room." She said instead.

"I have a feeling this is not what you was planning to say." His Father instinct told him his first wife was scheming something. Hell, she never stopped scheming!

Said first wife ignored him and took the younger woman's hand, leading her to their room. "Would you mind having the guest room, Dearest? After all, tonight is the bonding night of us women of this house."

"Wha—! You can't do that to me!" The husband protested, trying to keep his voice low as they turned a corner, passing Sesshoumaru's room. His first born was an extremely light sleeper and he became exceptionally sadistic (than usual) when being forcefully woken up.

"I am doing it now, am I not?"

"But!"

"The guest room is this way." She pointed to her left as if their husband didn't know his way in his own house while motioning for Izayoi to enter their room first, "I hope you behave yourself and have a good night, Dearest."

"Good night, Dearest." Izayoi bowed timidly.

And the door to the master bedroom closed in his face before any noise could pass his gaping mouth.


3. A dangerous proposal

Inuyasha flinched, squeaking softly when he felt his bed dip behind him. It took him a while to gather his courage and turn his head slightly to look over his shoulder to see those same glistering golden eyes of the beautiful wolf staring at him the same way like earlier. Inuyasha gulped.

Wordlessly Sesshoumaru lay down on the bed and hugged the smaller form to him, blanket and all. "I am going to sleep." He announced and closed his eyes.

"Are you going to… to… e… eat me?" Inuyasha whimpered, feeling like crying all over again.

Sesshoumaru opened one of his eyes, then closed it. "I don't eat weak things."

Inuyasha went silent.

"'M NOT WEAK!"

"You are afraid of me."

"'M NOT!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Prove it."

"… H—how…?"

"Kiss me on the cheek."

A wet noise resounded in the room.

In the master bedroom…

"I have no idea he is this dangerous." The older woman staring at the wide screen recording a certain child's room remarked in contemplation while Izayoi shifted uncertainly beside her.
