MissTuffcy: I have heard of a story by this name. o.o I think I know what you're talking about (BloodDove01). The book "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe? Is that the one you were talking about? I recommend this story to anyone! It is a very good book.

Summary: Sesshomaru has gone into heat. The weird and dangerous thing about it is that he is an uke demon. He is far away from his castle when it happens so now he has to fight off demons drawn to him by his scent and get home safely to lock himself in his room. Will he make it to his castle without incident?

"Naraku…" He hissed. He sped off down the path his lord had taken. Inuyasha's eyes widened.

"What?" he turned to his friends. "That fox said something about Naraku! Come on, let's follow him!" Inuyasha turned and bounded off after the fox.

As quickly as Kitsu had sensed the dark demon, he suddenly lost him. The dark hanyou disappeared without a trace. He looked towards the cave he was now in front of and sighed in relief when he felt his lord's energy, Jaken, Rin, and Ah-Uh. He turned when heard someone land behind him. He growled.

"Inuyasha, why have you followed?"

"Are you working with Naraku?" Inuyasha pointed Tetsaiga at Kitsu. Kitsu looked miffed.

"How dare you associate this Kitsu with that damned hanyou?" Kitsu screeched. Inuyasha gave an amused smirk.

"Now you sound like Sesshomaru," Inuyasha swung his sword onto his shoulder. "I guess I can believe you then." He frowned and sniffed the air. "Where is Sesshomaru anyway?"

"Inuyasha!" Inuyasha turned to see Kagome and the others running after him. "Inuyasha! Stop running off like that!"

"Stop your crying, ya big baby…" Inuyasha grumbled. Kagome glared.

"SIT!" Inuyasha was slammed into the ground and Kitsu let out a long hard laugh.

"I knew you to be weak, but to be controlled by such a degrading word and by a human no less, you have made me underestimate how pathetic you truly are!" Kitsu laughed. He held his stomach and leaned over slightly. Inuyasha growled as he pulled himself up.

"Shut the hell up, bastard!" Inuyasha growled. Kitsu grinned at him. He turned slightly when he heard footsteps. Rin was skipping out of the cave.

"Lord Kitsu!" Rin chirped happily. Kitsu frowned.

"Why are you not with Jaken and Lord Sesshomaru?"

"Lord Sesshomaru is asleep! Rin just wanted to pick some pretty flowers for when he wakes up!" Rin smiled innocently. Kitsu glared at Inuyasha.

"Do not go near my lord. If you shall disobey this simple order, I will make you wish you were never born!" Kitsu hissed. Inuyasha took a quick step back in surprise at the venom in the fox's voice. He looked and acted just like Sesshomaru. He wondered…

"Are you Sesshomaru's son or something?" Inuyasha asked. Kitsu turned from him and grabbed Rin's hand.

"Let's go Rin."

"Can Rin pick Lord Kitsu some flowers?" Rin squealed. Kitsu smiled and nodded.

"Hey! Answer my question you damned fox!" Inuyasha yelled. Kitsu turned and glared at him.

"Watch your mouth while there are children around!" Kitsu growled. He turned and continued to walk away. Inuyasha glared at the fox's back. He turned to the cave and then back to the disappearing fox. He waited until the fox was out of sight before walking into the cave.

"Inuyasha-"

"Just wait out here guys!" Inuyasha said before disappearing in the darkness of the cave.


Kitsu stared down at his reflection in the pond. Rin was only a few feet away from him picking daisies. He smiled at her when she handed him on. She was the only human he let close to him. He wondered why. His lord was the same way too. They both hated humans but they cared for Rin. Kitsu looked back at the pond and at his reflection. He placed a hand on the twin violet stripes running down his forehead to just a few cm above his eyebrows. He did look a lot like Sesshomaru. It didn't help that he dressed almost identical to the lord. The only difference between his garb and Sesshomaru's was that he did not have the heavy spikes on his shoulder and he didn't have the mokomoko like him on his shoulders ( vaguely recalls asking Sesshomaru about the mokomoko and received a hard glare in response). His kimono had the same pattern on it but his was not red like the daiyoukai's. His was, instead, a light blue color. Also, his obi was not yellow. It was lavender. He lightly grabbed one his furry, triangular ear. His ears sometimes made him be mistaken for a hanyou dog demon since he was always around Sesshomaru. He had the same facial features, just without the cheek marks and instead of the crescent moon on his forehead. He looked behind him slightly at his 4 tails swishing behind him. If it weren't for his tails, they'd really think he was a half-breed. Kitsunes gained a tail everyone 100 years. He wasn't sure why, but I guess it was to tell the youngers apart from the older ones. The whole species aged rather slowly, though in appearance mostly. They were very intellectual demons. Kitsu sighed.

"Let's go back, Rin." He turned to the human girl. She smiled at him and nodded.

"Rin has picked daisies and lilies for Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Kitsu!" She giggled.


Inuyasha walked cautiously into the back of the cave. He spotted the grin toad, who sported a large bump on the top of his head. Inuyasha snickered. He walked past the unconscious toad and looked at the sleeping dragon. He crept past it and went deeper. He stopped when he got to a hot spring. He tilted head to the side slightly when he came upon Sesshomaru who had sunk down in the water until only his head showed. Who would have thought a spring that deep would be deep in a cave like this. The older demon didn't even seem to notice him. "Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru's eyes shot open in shock. He stared at Inuyasha before his icy expression returned.

"What are you doing here, half-breed." Sesshomaru demanded. Inuyasha glared at Sesshomaru.

"What's up with you all of a sudden? You don't want to fight me at all?"

"Leave my presence, half-breed!" Sesshomaru growled.

"I ain't leaving until I get answers!" Inuyasha growled. He plopped down where he stood, indian style. "Is that cat your son?"

"He's a fox, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru mumbled. There was silence.

"That wasn't what I asked!" Inuyasha growled. Sesshomaru stayed silent. He was having an inner battle right now. The damned spring was useless if Inuyasha was inside. He cursed himself, the gods, and Inuyasha. Inuyasha was a dominant male. He could tell because he wanted to tell him everything. He growled lowly.

"Inu-"

"Inuyasha!" Inuyasha turned to see Kitsu standing there with his arms crossed and eyes narrowed. "I thought I told you to stay away from my lord!"

Inuyasha stood glared at him. "You can't order me around, you stupid cat!"

"I'm a FOX demon!" Kitsu screeched. "I have not, nor will I ever be, a cat!" He stomped his foot in irritation. "LEAVE!"

"Make me!"

"Inuyasha…" Sesshomaru warned, glaring from his spot in the water. He wouldn't admit it: Kitsu could, if he wanted to, put up a good fight with Sesshomaru. That was how strong the young fox was. Being at an age of 300 was the most remarkable thing. Since his species of demons have such long life spans, he was still technically a child.


"I wonder what is taking Inuyasha…" Kagome mumbled. Sango and Miroku sighed.

"That fox from earlier walked in there, you know. He looked angry when he spotted us. I'm sure he and Inuyasha are in a fight, right about now." Sango said. Shippo jumped up onto Kagome's shoulder.

"I wonder if that fox demon is related to Sesshomaru in any way! I've never seen one with silver hair!"

"They're rare." Miroku said. Sango nodded in agreement. Suddenly, Inuyasha was flung out of the cave with Tetsaiga flying after him. Kagome and the others blinked in confusion as Inuyasha slowly stood and growled. He picked up Tetsaiga.

"YOU COME BACK IN HERE AND I'LL CASTERATE YOU!" That was the fox yelling.

"What did you do, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha huffed and sheathed his sword.

"All I did was ask him a simple question and he went crazy and threw me out!" Inuyasha grumbled. Miroku sighed.

"Knowing you, it was in a rude way." Inuyasha glared at him.

"We're camping in there tonight!"

"What?" Kagome shouted. "You're camping with your brother and a demon that wants to kill you?"

"I want answers and I ain't leaving until I do get them! Besides, its getting late."

"Inuyasha is quite right."


"How are you, my lord?" Kitsu whispered. Sesshomaru was now leaning against the rock of the cave walls. He was sitting on giant leaves and grass that was soft to the touch. He was still confused at how it got there but shrugged it off. His face was only slightly tinged pink. Kitsu was kneeling in front of him. A fire was roaring behind him, keeping the part of the cave they were in warm.

"It's progressing slower than I expected." Sesshomaru mumbled. Kitsu nodded.

"If you should need my assistance, please do ask, my lord." Kitsu nodded. Sesshomaru stared at him.

"I was not aware that two uke demons may couple with one another." Sesshomaru said. Kitsu's face burned red. He huffed and turned from Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru grinned lightly.

"I was only trying to help, fluffy!" Kitsu grumbled. Sesshomaru smirked.

"How dare you address Lord Sesshomaru with such a degra-"

"Quiet!" Sesshomaru and Kitsu snapped at Jaken simultaneously. The little green toad instantly went quiet. Rin skipped over to the two silver haired demons. Kitsu smiled widely at her while Sesshomaru offered a small smile.

"Rin made flower crowns for Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Kitsu!" Rin chirped happily. Kitsu leaned forward and allowed the young girl to place the ring of flowers on his head. She did the same to Sesshomaru. "Rin thinks Lord Kitsu and Lord Sesshomaru are very pretty!" She grinned and skipped over to Jaken. Kitsu turned back to Sesshomaru.

"What did Inuyasha want this time?" Kitsu asked with a frown.

"I'm not too sure…I only heard half of what he said." Sesshomaru grumbled. "It would seem my youkai likes his presence…" He let out a low growl of frustration. "He must keep his distance from me."

"I will make sure of that!" Kitsu said, a determined look set on his face. Sesshomaru stared at him for a while. "I shall fetch us something to eat!" Kitsu stood. "Jaken, protect our lord but don't annoy him!" Kitsu walked and disappeared in the darkness of the cave.


Inuyasha led the group through the dark cave. He stopped suddenly when a flash of light appeared in front of him. Kitsu jumped slightly, his eyes widening in shock. "What the hell are you doing in here? Didn't I tell you to stay away!" He growled. The light in his hand seemed to be coming from a flower.

"What is that?" Shippo asked. Kitsu looked at the fox kit. Shippo squeaked and hid his face in Kagome's neck.

"You have a fox kit." Kitsu stated. "Why?"

"Because we have one!" Inuyasha snapped. "Why should we answer your questions if you won't answer mines?"

"Because you are trespassing and you are not wanted here!" Kitsu shouted. Inuyasha huffed and crossed his arms.

"I ain't leaving!"

"Please," Miroku started. "We only wish to seek shelter here, my lord." Kitsu frowned and looked the monk over.

"At least one of you has manners…" Kitsu grumbled. He glared at Inuyasha. "You can stay as long as you stay AWAY from Sesshomaru! Better yet, do not go any farther into the cave. You set up camp here!" Kitsu glared. He walked past Inuyasha and to Miroku. He grabbed the man's hand and placed the flower into his hand. He waved his hand a bit and the flower began to glow even brighter. It was able to light the radius of what a fire would be able to. He walked past Miroku. Miroku watched him leave before looking down and squinting his eyes at the bright flower.

"What is it?" Sango asked, shielding her eyes.

"It's a flower." Miroko said.

"A flower that glows?" Kagome asked.

"It's not unheard of." Sango said. Shippo grinned.

"Maybe it's something all fox demons can do!" Inuyasha frowned.

"He smells like he's in heat." Inuyasha mumbled.

"Why do you say that?" Sango asked. Inuyasha looked at the curious faces of his friends. Inuyasha grinned darkly.

"Because I wanna fuck him." Kagome's eyes widened.

"INUY-" Miroku quickly covered her mouth and shushed her.

"I'm sure Lord Sesshomaru does not know we're here. It's best not to give away our presence to him."

"Hn…Miroku's right." Inuyasha said with a nod. He looked down the way to the exit and grinned. He took off out of the cave.

"What is he doing?"

"I assume that Inuyasha is a dominant male demon." Miroku said.

"Why?"

"Have you noticed his disappearance these last couple of weeks?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?" Shippo asked.

"It's mating season," Miroku said simply.

"Females and uke demon males go through heat. Their heat is different and the lengths differ because of what kind of demon they are. Canine demons are affected the most by heat. They are rendered weak and until they take on a mate or rut, they will continue to feel stressed and weak."

"What if its Sesshomaru that's in heat?" Kagome asked. Miroku and Sango stared at her.

"What?"

"Well, if you say that the demons are weak when they are in heat, why would the fox be doing everything instead of hiding himself?" Miroku's eyebrows shot up.

"You're absolutely right, Kagome…." Miroku mumbled. Sango looked down the way Inuyasha ran.

"So…Inuyasha is in trouble?"

"If that fox is strong, yes." Miroku mumbled. Kagome looked down the way Inuyasha ran.

"Inuyasha….you idiot…"


Kitsu looked around as he walked. He sighed. It would be hard to find anything good to bring back to Sesshomaru during mating season. Most of the good game are in hiding. He turned sharply when he sensed and heard something in the bushes. His ears twitched and his tails stiffened. He glared into the bush. "Inuyasha, you're horrible at hiding." Inuyasha walked from the bush with a frown on his face.

"I wasn't hiding." He said, holding up three dead rabbits by their ears. "I thought you'd need some help," He tossed the rabbits to Kitsu, who caught them by their ears. Kitsu narrowed his eyes at Inuyasha and sniffed the rabbits. "They're not poisoned…." Inuyasha grumbled. Kitsu stared at him.

"Why are you helping?" Kitsu asked. Inuyasha shrugged. Kitsu continued to stare at him. Then it clicked. "You do not impress me. If anything, you're pissing me off." Kitsu growled. Inuyasha glared at him.

"Well, geez! A thank you would be nice, bastard!"

"I'm not in heat!" Kitsu snarled. "I already know your intentions and I smell that you are aroused." Kitsu turned from Inuyasha.

"Stupid bitch…" Inuyasha grumbled unhappily. He yelped and fell over when a dead rabbit smacked him in the face with great force. He stared incredulously at Kitsu.

"I heard that, asshole!" Kitsu yelled. He turned again and walked away. Inuyasha growled and jumped to his feet. He grabbed the dead rabbit and ran after the fox.

"Get back here, bastard!"


Kitsu made it back to their part of the cave. He set one of the dead rabbits down in front of Sesshomaru and smiled. "My lord." Sesshomaru nodded. Kitsu turned away when Sesshomaru began to eat. He was one for cooked meat, not raw. He smiled at Rin who waved him. He guessed Sesshomaru had forced the toad to cooperate with Rin and allow her to put flowers on him. Kitsu went about in cooking the rabbit.


It seemed like hours had past. Rin, Kitsu, and Jaken were asleep. Sesshomaru was staring hard at the fire. He had been suppressing his pheromones for a while now. He let out a shuddery sigh. It was safe for him to let go, for now. Unless a demon had taken residence in the cave, no one would smell them. The scent wouldn't affect Kitsu because he was not a dominant male. Jaken would be affected, but he could easily knock the toad away. He turned his attention to the fox demon curled up by his side. Rin was on his other side. Jaken was asleep against Ah-Uh. He closed his eyes, his face instantly flushing as he let his control slip.


Inuyasha's eyes shot open when a sweet smell assaulted his nose. He tilted his face up and sniffed deeply at the air. He growled low in his throat and stood up, walking farther into the cave. When he reached where Sesshomaru was, he gave another sniff to the air. He stared directly at Sesshomaru with lsu darkened eyes. The older inu youkai seemed to not notice his presence. He kneeled down in front of Sesshomaru and sniffed. Sesshomaru's head shot up and his eyes opened. He stared at Inuyasha. Inuyasha leaned in closer and sniffed at the demons neck. His eyes tinted red. "Mine!" He growled. He licked Sesshomaru's neck. Sesshomaru shuddered pleasantly and closed his eyes.

Inuyasha reached down and ripped off the obi. He growled lowly as Sesshomaru whimpered. That was the farthest he got before he was flung against the cave wall. "What are you doing?" Kitsu whispered harshly. Inuyasha's eyes returned to their normal color and he blinked. He was still stuck to the wall. He struggled.

"Let me down!" He yelled. Kitsu shushed him harshly.

"Shut up before you wake Rin!" Kitsu untied his obi and allowed his kimono to hang open. He tied his obi around Sesshomaru and closed his kimono back. He stood and went over to Inuyasha. He glared. "Don't you ever put your hands on my lord Sesshomaru ever again!" He hissed dangerously low. Inuyasha yelped when he was suddenly jerked from the wall and sent flying down the way he came from. A misty almost transparent purple barrier appeared. Kitsu turned and looked at Jaken who had sat up.

"Why was Inuyasha here?"

"Don't worry about it, toad. Go back to sleep. We're leaving very soon." Kitsu grumbled. He returned to Sesshomaru's side. "Lord Sesshomaru, are you okay?" Sesshomaru nodded silently. Kitsu smiled at him. "Good….If you weren't I would have had to seriously hurt your brother." Sesshomaru's eyebrow twitched. He made no sound and no other movement. Kitsu settled himself against Sesshomaru and closed his eyes. "Try to get some sleep, my lord."


Review please. Next chapter will be a lot more action and sesshy will get a lot more 'screen' time. Took me longer to post this because I noticed half of what I wrote suddenly disappeared.
