Jou to Sesshomaru
Ch.1 Temple Guardian
"Sesshomaru," Jounouchi echoes enjoying the feel of the foreign name on his tongue. "Does it mean Killing Perfection?"
Sesshomaru nods suppressing the shiver wanting to go done his spine at the sound of his name that rolls off the teen's tongue. He hides the smirk noticing the strange he hasn't smell in years, arousal along with a crush. Interesting he has a strong feeling he'll enjoy driving the human before him up the wall. Maybe getting to know his weak and strong points might make a wonderful game to the Taiyoukai after many years of slumber in this forsaken temple.
Kami, how long has it been since he last taken someone to release all the pent up energy? He snarls knowing the answer despite how painful it is. Katsuto, his beautiful loving Katsuto. He shakes his head not able to deny the familiarity of the blond teen to the one person he loves long ago.
His beloved lover he want to protect with every fiber in his being. He died before having the chance of the mate mark despite the special secret Sesshomaru still holds close to his heart. He squish all the feelings away. The sadness along with guilt and pain wrecks at the barrier he pulls up makes the youkai's spirits lows.
Jounouchi notice the change in the stranger while having a weird urge to comfort him some how. He tilts his head to one side getting the golden man to fall in his right eye. He grins shyly before thinking carefully not sure how to question the man before him. The feeling he doesn't want to over do it with his questions that might be annoying , frustrating and silly to the older man.
Nerveless he ask softly, "Why are you in this temple."
Sesshomaru stares at the blond for a moment before seeing past him. He can clearly remember his purpose to live even after many centuries for his love to return to him once more. He doesn't even know the name of the blond before him. He narrows his eyes rather thoughtfully taking in the similarities to his past lover. The beautiful golden locks which remind him of the rising sun every morning. The brown eye which reminds Sesshomaru of a happy and content pup ready to have some mischief and fun. The major difference of the teen's eyes compare to his Katsuto is the blue tints in the chocolate orbs. The slender figure is the same besides the other qualities he see so far.
He withdraw from his musing answering blankly unsure why he respond to the blond, "I'm just waiting for someone I lost many years ago."
Jounouchi blinks a few minutes at the words unsure what to say in response. Pain twinges in his heart for a couple of minutes as his mind race over the small information. He could make out the pain in the amber eyes and wish he could do something.
"Do you want to talk about it?" The blond ask shyly.
The Inu-youkai sighs silently then answers, "Not right now though this Sesshomaru has to think more on it if say something."
Sesshomaru could hear the soft "Oh" passing from the teen's lips from his heighten hearing. His mind turning back to the days where his lover is one minute in his life then gone the next. How mad he went at the news. His eyes glaze over not once knowing his life is know in the blond's hands for a bit as he resides in his memories.
***Flashback***
Waiting near the spring on a clear and beautiful with the sky that seems endless with little bits of clouds, Sesshomaru watches the signs of life around him. He thinks of his beloved, Katsuto whose busy with something but will arrive in a bit for their picnic. He close his eyes leaning against the tree he pays half attention to his surroundings. The sound of swift footsteps accompanying with giggles make the inu-Taiyouai to smile softly to himself.
Opening golden amber eyes to see a lithe figure with long flowing blond hair reaching the middle of his lover's back. Wide brown eyes with blue flakes mix within their depths get Sesshomaru to smile glad to know this exquisite creature is only his. Sesshomaru stands up walking over to the shorter youkai pulling him in his arms smirking down at him.
He takes in his soon to be mate's scent to notice its slightly different. He tilt his head in thought. He notice the change a few weeks despite mating season past a month ago though they're going to have a ceremony soon thanks to the Miko who travels with his half-brother. He didn't think more of it as he kiss his sweet Katsuto. He growls in a dominant manner getting a submissive moan from the blond-hair ookami's throat.
"What taken you so long?" Sesshomaru ask curiously.
Katsuto giggles nuzzling the inu-Taiyoukai's chest purring deep in his throat. "I had to help calm down my cousin's mate since he's being an idiot again."
Sesshomaru smirks imagining Kouga done something to bad to really earn his mate's wrath before replying, "So he overstep his boundaries again."
"Yeah he did. The whole pack is looking forward to the pups. Its going to be nice to be away from that when it happens though I wish…" Katsuto begin before stopping allowing himself to think over the next words.
Sesshomaru raise a brow. He notice as of late Katsuto at times brings up the possibility of pups in the future. The Taiyoukai finds there's times where the blond ookami would stare into space lost in his thoughts with a wistful look in his face. A small voice in his mind brings up the small scent change that been driving him crazy making him wonder if something's wrong with Katsuto. He could feel the need to protect his mate and unborn pups makes him blink. He quickly push the idea of Katsuto is having his pup since he would rather wait later on.
"He's going to have to realize he won't be able to count on you forever since you'll be mine." He answers haughtily making Katsuto to laugh.
The blond nods thinking for a few minutes if he should tell his secret he been holding back for the past two weeks. He looks into the golden orbs to see the love and trust in them just for him.. He always known Sesshomaru has a hind heart that's hidden deep with in himself. He smiles figuring he'll just go with it.
Whispering in the taller youkai's ear, Katsuto watch the reaction with the words he told him. "Would you like the idea of becoming a Papa?"
Sesshomaru's eyes widen in shock allowing his mouth to drop open. He barely taes in the fact what Katsuto told him. He finds himself breathless wishing against him feeling a small smile adorning his face. "You aren't…"
Grabbing the larger hand of his love, Katsuto place it on his stomach where their child is. He purrs out just as Sesshomaru kiss him, "I am."
-Five months later-
A war broke out in the south and west making Sesshomaru spend time away from Katsuto. He smiles a bit thinking of his mate and glad to know their wedding will take place after the pup is born. He shakes his head schooling his features in a stoic expression. The damn bastard better have a good reason for starting this up.
He could feel himself calm down with Katsuto filtering in his thoughts. He withdrew seeing an inu-youkai gazing at his feet sadly getting Sesshomaru to know him as Daitachi whom suppose to be guarding Katsuto. His eyes narrows dangerously wondering what the other has to say for leaving his love unprotected.
"Daitachi you better have a good reason to leave your post!" Sesshomaru growls out anger streaming in his veins.
The lesser inu-youkai gulp hating to be the one to bear bad news. He bows down allowing the tears to roll down his cheeks, "My lord I bear sad news. Lord Katsuto has been attack by the Lord of the south. I tired to stop him, My liege. Please believe me as I say this my Lord."
Sesshomaru could feel his heart slow down in his chest. Part of him didn't want to believe the other youkai is saying. Even though the truth is seen in the eyes causing more pain to eat at him. He growls dangerously feeling a void start to form. He begin to see red not once realizing he went into his true form.
He rushes out of the camp hoping he could find Katsuto at their meadow near the castle. A gut feeling told him he's there. 'Kami please let him live,' Sesshomaru pray even though if it were before his mate he wouldn't do something like this. He wouldn't know what to do with out the blond-hair ookami by his side. He runs faster making the journey from four days to three hours.
Stopping in his tracks, Sesshomaru could smell blood. He slowly moves forward knowing what he would find would haunt him for a long time. The Dragon lord stares at his mate with an evil smile. Sesshomaru attack seeing the blood wanting to have revenge for his mate. All he knows he kill the South Lord but it didn't matter while Katsuto did. He moves towards him lowering his giant head to see the slash marks allover his body. Tears pricks at the corner of his eyes whimpering softly.
He nudge the still form despite knowing he's gone. It crush him as the giant dog tremble. Another thought cross his mind. Where's the pup? He knows the pup would been born any day despite small problems here and there due to stress. Sniffing the air he could smell the fresh scent of a newborn before it disappear with out a trace. He lets a mournful howl at the lost of his family.
The heavens taking pity of the youkai allowing the rain to fall in sadness. Sesshomaru isn't the only one mourning the lost of a love one. The ookami pack Katsuto howls knowing one of their brethren is no longer with them. The Taiyoukai could make out his brother's group doing their grief in their unique way. Sesshomaru knows he wouldn't be able to open his heart for another as he did with Katsuto.
He never found out if there pup was a live or not. He became colder and withdrawn to the point it made his half-brother to worry for his sanity. He made way to the temple where he'll reside with hopes of the idea his love could be reborn again after the Miko's comforting words.
Legend has it the pup did survive but didn't know his heritage. Addition of living among humans the Inu/Ookami youkai blood runs through his future ancestors that would be barely shown to the point its dormant with little possibilities it would show up.
***Flashback ends***
Jounouchi gaze at the demon before him then offers boldly with out thinking of the consequences. "If you have no where to go maybe you can stay at my place until we figure something out."
