Family Reunion

By: RavenPhoniex

a.n./ : After reading Demon Slayer Sango by PinkRoseBouquet I've decided to expand on Sesshomaru and InuYasha's brotherly relationship. You meet the whole Inu tribe in all their stuck up glory as two brothers sort through the shambles of their lives with their human mates-to be by their sides after falling into the well and waking up in the modern era. I hope you enjoy.

Chapter one: A Cherry Blossom Meeting

I sat beneath a blossoming tree pondering my life. Kagome and InuYasha were having yet another fight that resulted in Kagome staying at my cottage for two weeks. Their marriage was falling apart and as for mine…it was almost nonexistent. Miroku was never home he was always out exterminating demons or consoling maidens whose families were destroyed by said demons. This left me at home by myself to watch all the other young couples, blossoming just as the cherry blossoms did. I'd left my weaponry at home with Kagome and Shippo. It was unnecessary to carry now that Naraku had been eradicated.

"Huntress," I turned around best I could due to my current position. Sesshomaru stood in all his glory beneath the suns beam. It illuminated him, casting him in a silver light that made the devil appear angelic.

"What do you want Sesshomaru?" I snarled, InuYasha had instilled a mutual wariness within us for his brother.

"Slayer do not forget your place this Sesshomaru is your Lord do not forget." He said softly. I growled in irritation.

"Get to the point," I demanded. He looked as if he had second thoughts, "second guessing yourself Lord Sesshomaru?" I added sarcastically.

"This Sesshomaru does not second guess himself," he insisted, "Listen human girl if you do not silence yourself I will not express to you the message I had originally intended too."

"Good, that should cut your visit short so you can crawl back to the hell hole you crawled out of."

"Listen wench," he demanded.

"Make me," with light like speed he pinned me to a tree, his elegant clawed hand covering my mouth.

"Very well then Slayer, this Sesshomaru has an offer to make," he began; his icy eyes searched mine for an answer. He smelled of pine and spring water, it was a daring combination that suited him fine, "I wish for you to become the Lady of the Western Lands." My own chocolate brown eyes widened in surprise as I began to scream hysterically in the palm of his hand.

"…couldn't, I'm married to Monk Miroku!"

"Is that your only reservation? If that is the case I will kill him. Then you will become Lady Sesshomaru."

"Are you crazy? It's deeper than that; I wouldn't run off with you if you were the last demon on Earth! I mean…" I'd only confessed to Kagome my childish attraction to the Taiyoukai and it wasn't like I wanted to make him my lover or anything, just teenage girl talk about who was cute…who wasn't. Never in a million years had I suspected that the powerful man would come to me asking for my hand.

"Tell me what I must do and I will, you are the only human woman I can think of that I could bare the idea of mating with. Others are repulsive beyond all belief…always whining and crying, expected to be doted upon. It sickens me."

"What about your hatred of humans?" I countered.

"My kingdom is adamant about my mating of a human to smooth over some political ruffles with the Japanese Shogunate." He explained, "Where is the monk? I will personally ask him for your hand."

"He…he's not here," I admitted. A silver eyebrow cocked..

"Oh…and he's left his mate here unprotected? Are you in the care of my idiot half-brother?"

"No…I can take care of myself!"

He nodded, "no mate of mine will be left alone. When will he return? When have you last seen him, point me in his direction and I will seek him out." The last time I saw him? I thought long and hard, perhaps too long.

"So he hasn't been back for several months?"

"That's about right,"

He advanced closer, "even more reason to make you mine." he insisted there was a slight pause before he grabbed my hand, dragging me behind him. We made it a few meters away when I began to hear it too; light noises of content filled my ears. My face boiled red until two words caught my attention; "Oh Miroku," my heart sank and I turned to face Sesshomaru.

"Get me close to them; I don't want them to hear me." Sesshomaru obliged, lifting me and appearing me before them like a ghost.

'Miroku…'

"Oh no…it's Miroku!" I squealed in a monotone attempt to act caught. He looked up to see me in the demon lord's arms.

"Sango…how could you!" he yelled. His clothes had been disregarded and he now stood before me in all his naked glory.

"What can I say; Sesshomaru is just three times the man you are." I scoffed turning to Sesshomaru and kissing the frozen demon lord right on the mouth. He was surprisingly warm for someone that froze the hearts of so many noble men.

"I thought we were better than that," Miroku murmured. The girl that was beneath him caught his attention once more and he obliged her. I buried my face in Sesshomaru's neck and he once again appeared in our original spot.

"I think we can have an arrangement that benefits us both," he told me, "I will act as a ward from the monk in exchange for your hand in marriage."

"Why should I? You've done nothing, but antagonize one of my best friends and caused us all more ear trauma than it was worth!"

"What do you have to lose?" he countered, "the monk has chosen the maiden over you, InuYasha will not be much of a problem; he is a mere half breed. His beliefs do not matter…after him who is there?" no one.

"What would my father think,"

"If I remember correctly he is deceased,"

I was running out of excuses and I knew the ruthless demon lord would not take no for an answer.

"What would I have to do?" I sighed.

"Make public appearances as my mate, bear the mark of the Inu youkai clan, and produce a male heir to recover the throne once I am gone."

"And what are the benefits?"

"You will share in the life span of a demon…no other compensation is offered nor should it be expected."

"You say it as if you are doing me a favor," I growled.

"Well you are damaged goods," he noted nonchalantly. I blushed, blossoming into an insane shade of red. He raised an eyebrow once more, "so the monk has not yet taken you?" I said nothing and if I didn't know any better I'd say a brief smirk flashed across his face. "Interesting."

"I'd have to think about it," I admitted, "to blindly agree to marry a demon would be less than stupid…it'd be down-right idiotic. If you want my hand you will have to make me feel for you." I noticed him roll his golden eyes.

"You surely cannot mean you wish for me to vie for your affections like a love sick puppy,"

"If not you can find someone else,"

"This Sesshomaru does not change his mind," he stated melodiously.

"Then that Sesshomaru may as well get used to the idea of picking flowers and courting," I decided turning to leave his presence. I turned around for a moment to see him appearing confused. I almost felt bad for him, he looked utterly lost for a moment before noticing my gaze and correcting it, "you may as well come to my home for some tea." I chuckled. When he didn't move I grabbed his clawed hand, pulling him along behind me. "Oh c'mon." we made it to the house when I noticed InuYasha walking down the path to my home.

"Brother," was all Sesshomaru said. InuYasha's face contorted in disgust.

"Get the hell outta here! Sango why are you bringing that bastard here!" he barked.

"I'll explain over tea and rice balls," I assured him ushering both men into the hut, demanding all weapons be left outside.
