Recap:

"..." Miroku had an angry tick in his right eye from the many times Yusuke's adventurous hands that seemed to only want to group him. Speaking of which, there goes one of them...He put his hand on top of it to pull it off of him, but froze when another hand besides Yusuke's landed on top of his. He looked over his shoulder when he felt another body press close to him and started to dance.

He came face to face with a smirking Hiei. Miroku blushed and looked back a Yusuke, who was smirking even more. Miroku's blush had deepen even more, so he looked straight down. His face felt like it was on fire when he felt Hiei nuzzle his neck

"You smell good...'Doll Face'..." Hiei mumbled into Miroku's neck, which was almost as bright as his face.

"He does, doesn't." Yusuke teased as he hot breathe hit Miroku's ear, making him shiver.

"You dance really damn good." Inuyasha told Kurama, who smiled at him.

"You do too." Kurama said, then blushed. "Um..."

"Dance again?"

"Yeah..."

"You don't even have to ask."


"So, Silver Beauty...tell me about yourself." Youko told Sesshomaru, who glared at him and blushed slightly for the nickname.

"There's...not much to tell..." Sesshomaru said.

"Sure there is." Youko stated, then thought. "What about your parents?"

"My mother died at my birth-"

"How did Inu-"

"He's my half-brother; and his mother died when he was about 10 years old."

"Oh...what about your father?"

"He died..." Sesshomaru stated, looking sad and something else. Youko sighed and pulled Sesshomaru closer.

"Hm...Here I am trying to make an impression on you, and I do is get you sad...some impression..." Youko stated as he laid his head on top of Sesshomaru, who blushed more.

"It's not so bad..." Sesshomaru muttered. "What about you?"

"Never really knew my father or mother, I just knew that my dad was a major drug dealer and my mother was a whore." Youko stated with a shrug. "Not much to tell." Sesshomaru blinked.

"You were an orphanage?" Sesshomaru asked. Youko shook his head.

"Orphanage have no homes. I had a home...Hell, I was spoiled half-rotten!" Youko said with a chuckle. Sesshomaru pulled back to look Youko in the face.

"I thought you didn't know your parents?" He asked, confused. Youko shook his head.

"I didn't. Never seen them in my life. It's true, but that didn't mean they didn't take care of their brat." Youko told Sesshomaru, who nodded his head even though he was still confused. What kind of parents never see their son...

"You're thinking too hard..." Youko informed Sesshomaru, who tilted his head as if asking 'How would you know?'. "Because Kurama squints his nose just like yours...its cute."


"I've had enough dancing..." Miroku said as he tried to wiggle from Hiei and Yusuke's perverse and deathly sandwich. He yipped when he groped his behind and gave it a hard squeeze. Miroku growled and (with strength he didn't know he had) turned around and hit Hiei with a one hit knock-out. Yusuke gasped and ran over to the 0.0 Hiei.

"Hiei!" Yusuke yelled as he slapped his cheeks. Miroku growled and stomped over to Kagome and Sango.


"I wonder what all those people are crowding around." Inuyasha stated curiously. He started to walk over there, but Kurama's hand in his hand stopped him. He turned about to look at Kurama.

"...I...Can...we..." Kurama stuttered. "Can we...um...I"

Inuyasha's eyes drifted over Kurama's shoulders all of a sudden and growled. "That basted has his hands on Sesshomaru! When I-"

Inuyasha trailed off as he stomped over towards Sesshomaru and his 'assailant'.


"I like the way you feel against me..." Youko told Sesshomaru, who was now a red tomato. "Are you familiar with...Youkai's (someone tell me what the word for demon is: please and thank you!)"

"Demon...what of it...? Their suppose to have been extinct..." Sesshomaru said and asked curiously.

"They say that when a fox demon is born the scent of his life mate is embedded within his mind. That when he sees and smells him...that he knows that that is his mate..." Youko informed him. "That he'll know his mate's scent...taste...feel..."

"Why are you telling me this?" Sesshomaru asked, mildly worried in that Youko was a crazy person or something. He started to panic when Youko leaned in and buried his face in Sesshomaru's neck. He shivered when Youko took a deep breathe that tickled his neck. He then yelped when Youko licked his neck. Sesshomaru tried to push back from him, but failed. It was as if Youko was draining all his energy. That or...his body didn't want him to push away...but that couldn't be it...HE wanted to get away...Youko was scaring him... "P-pl-please stop that...let...le-let me go..."

"Let him go!" Inuyasha growled as he pulled Sesshomaru from Youko, who growled right back at him. "You prick!"

"What does this matter concern you?" Youko asked calmly.

"Concern?! He's my f-cking brother! Ya think I'm gonna let you feel him up and stuff!" Inuyasha growled his eyes flashing red or so Sesshomaru thought for a second. He shook his head. That couldn't be right...

"It matters not...He's my mate!" Youko growled his eyes flashing an even darker colored gold. Inuyasha shook his head.

"Mate?" Sesshomaru asked out loud, confused.

"He doesn't know what a mate his! Father nor his mother ever told him! He told me not to tell him!" Inuyasha said. "So back off! He doesn't want you! Let's go Sess." Inuyasha grabbed Sesshomaru's hand and started dragging him away, when Youko stepped him front of them.

"To deny him the right of his birth rights and mate is to deny him life! And that, as his mate, I will not stand for!" Youko growled his teeth getting larger and more k-9 like. "Give him to me!"

"No!" Inuyasha growled as he let go of Sesshomaru's hand. His teeth also growing like Youko's. Like a demon...a monster... Sesshomaru shook his head. This all had to be a dream. There's no such thing as demons...there's no such thing as demons...or monsters...

"There's no such thing as demons...monster..." Sesshomaru whispered. He then grabbed Inuyasha's arm and pulled slightly while he said. "Inuyasha...please don't fight..."

"..." Inuyasha sneered at Youko about to fight, then remembered a similar event in their childhood.

FLASHBACK

"Mom, I'm gonna go outside!" Inuyasha yelled as he put on his shoes.

"Make sure that Sess, is going with you." His mother's voice came from the kitchen where she prepared dinner.

"Aw, why do I always have to wait and go with Sess?" Inuyasha complained, not know that Sesshomaru was behind him. "He's smaller than me an' he's my aniki! An' he looks like a girl! He cries a lot too! I don't like 'im! He gets in the way an' my friends don't want him around!"

"Inuyasha..." His mother warned. Sesshomaru looked down and sniffed. Inuyasha's eyes widen as he turned around and saw Sesshomaru there sniffing.

"Sess..." Inuyasha started, feeling slightly guilty. Sesshomaru shook his head and ran out the door. Inuyasha sighed. All well, he'll now get to go outside and play with his friends. "He's such a crybaby...MOM, SESS. IS GONE! I'M
GOING TOO!"

"Have fun!"

"Look, its the crybaby girl!" An older kid teased Sess., who shook his head. "Yes, you are!" He punched Sess in the stomach, making him yell out in pain and fall down. Sess sniffed.

"Look he's gonna cry!" Another older kicked said while pointing at Sess, who shook his head. The kid kicked him. Sess. whimpered, but didn't cry.

"Why ain't ya crying crybaby?" Another kid asked as he kicked Sess in the head. "Cry!"

"...No..." Sess. said quietly. The kids laughed.

"He's not going to cry...lets see if we can make him!" And with that said, they started to beat Sess up.

"Hey, leave him alone!" A familiar voice growled out. The kids stopped kicking Sess. and looked over to see a mad Inuyasha running towards them.

"And what if we -" The kid didn't even finished the sentence, because Inuyasha jumped on him and started punching him as hard as he could. "Run!"

The kid pushed Inuyasha off of him and ran, along with the other, away. Inuyasha waved him fist.

"And don't yaw come back!" He shouted at them. He then turned to Sess, who was sitting up on his knees and head bowed. His bangs, shadowing his face. "Sess...?"

"..."

"Are ya hurtin' alot?" Inuyasha asked him as sat next to him. Sess nodded his head slowly. "Do you want to go home?" Sess. nodded his head again. Inuyasha stood up and turned his back towards Sess. He then squatted down. "Climb on my back and I'll give you a piggy back ride..." Sess looked up at Inuyasha, who turned his head around. He had silent tears running down his face as he slowly climbed on Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha struggled a little to regain his balance, then started off. Sess sniffed.

"Don't cry no more Sess..." Inuyasha said quietly. "When we get home, Mom will kiss and make all your boo boo better...and then we'll get to eat ice cream and stay up late and watch cartoons and-and-"

"Play video games?" Sess asked quietly. Inuyasha smiled as he looked over his shoulder at Sess and nodded his head.

"We can play anything ya want to!" Inuyasha said happily. Sess yawned and snuggled into Inuyasha's back. "Just don't cry anymore...I hate seeing ya cry..."

"Inu...?"

"I was scared..." Sess admitted.

"They were three big bulli-"

"Not of them..."

"Then what of?" Inuyasha asked, confused.

"Of...you looked different when you're really angry...it scared me...you looked like a monster..."

"..."

"Inuyasha...don't fight...anymore... I don't like that monster...it makes you like...those bullies..." Sess said as he finally drifted off to sleep. Inuyasha thought about it alone in silence for awhile.

"...I have to fight to protect ya Sess...At least, until ya can protect yourself...Until then-"

END OF FLASHBACK

"I'll be the monster to protect you." Inuyasha whispered, causing Sesshomaru's eyes to widen as Inuyasha became normal again. "Let's go, Sess..."

Well, that's it...how was it? Should I continue? Should I change the pairings? Should I make the chapters longer? Should I change ANYTHING? Should I stop asking questions? TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I no owny Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakasho/?!
