HEY!! OMG!! I'm BACK! Finally! Alright, the birthday oneshot is published!! YEAH! Alright, please read that, hopefully right now before you read this! ALRIGHT! CHAPTER FOUR, HERE WE GO!! BLOODGUSHES
Inuyasha shoved Sesshoumaru's arms from around him and flung the covers off him, rushing his way to the washroom. It had been a few weeks from when Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru shared cake, but it wasn't the last time they've been connected (in that way). For the last month or so, Inuyasha had acquired stomach flu, was sleeping more than ever, and refused to go to the healer or drink any medicine to help with the vomiting insisting it would soon go away by itself. Sesshoumaru was disturbed at the sudden movement, awoke instantly and hurried after Inuyasha, soothing him by holding his long strands of hair away from his face back as the other hand filled a cup with cool water. Seeing Inuyasha like this, he was rather glad that had sent Jaken and Ah-Un to fetch the little fox and his friends to come see Inuyasha, they were told to stay in their rooms until it was time to surprise Inuyasha. After this, he would feel better and he could let them meet.
Lifting his head up, Inuyasha took the glass and rinsed the repulsive taste from his mouth. He relaxed against Sesshoumaru's chest as a warm rag washed lightly at his face, wiping across his lips. "Inuyasha, it is time to get a healer. It's been at least four weeks and this stomach flu you have has not gone away, I am worried it may be something else." He opened his eyes, still too sick to shake his head. "No Sess, I hate healers. I won't."
Sesshoumaru grew angry "You are being a child Inuyasha, you are sick and you need help and care. Stop being a stubborn Hanyou, we are going to the Healing Wing." Perhaps it was the fact that it was the day of a new moon, Inuyasha was very emotional. He stood up; flinging the hand that tried to steady him only his own hand against the wall supported him up. "So I'm back to a filthy half-breed? Oh I get it now; you said all those things for sex. I bet everything you've said to me never meant anything either!" He couldn't see Sesshoumaru's confused expression because his bangs covered his eyes. Pushing against the wall, he hurried out of the room as best as he could without stumbling. He moved down the hallway, ignoring the demon coming after him from the room he just left. He was so hurt at that moment he tripped over his own feet, falling only to be steadied by Sesshoumaru. "See, you are too weak to even be walking. We are going to the Healing Wing." '
"I'm not going anywhere with you, you bastard!" Arms slid underneath his back and his legs, pulling him up until he wasn't touching the ground but lying in Sesshoumaru's arms. He struggled against them, lifting his legs and arms so he'd slide out of them but they held strong around him. "Stop moving! You're going to fall if you do!" A warm tongue lapped and sucked at his neck; at times like these he'd moan out loud but he was still mad at Sesshoumaru. he could already feel himself turning into jelly no matter how hard he fought it. "No… I hate you Sesshoumaru…" but they had already reached the doors.
"It is a surprise seeing you here in Healing Wing, Lord Sesshoumaru. Is there something you need?" Yujiro saw them as soon as the door opened. "Yujiro, please check Inuyasha out, it seems he has caught some sort of stomach flu, he's been throwing up every morning for the last four weeks." He laid Inuyasha on the bed after licking the mark again, ensuring a longer period of relaxation. Yujiro nodded and set out to examine him. Inuyasha hated every moment of it, from Sesshoumaru looking like he was concerned and the damned healer for smiling when he finished.
Yujiro straightened up. "It's a little miracle, Lord Sesshoumaru! And you and Lord Inuyasha have created a pup even without the use of a potion! It is expected from the sons of the powerful InuTaisho." He went over to a cupboard at the end of the room, before adding some hot water to herbs he had gathered into a cup. He handed it to Inuyasha, watching him tip everything into his mouth before taking the cup and go. "The herbal tea will take effect tomorrow, until then keep drinking it at meal times, this will rid you of morning sickness tomorrow; I'll send it to you every day so you shouldn't be too uncomfortable." Inuyasha didn't know what to feel, a baby, a pup, a family. But it didn't matter because it was obvious Sesshoumaru never loved him, even after all they had gone through.
Sesshoumaru felt like he was about to burst from happiness, "A pup! We have a pup! We must tell everyone of this good news!" Yujiro dismissed himself, smiling as he walked away so the two mates could rejoice in peace.
He looked down to Inuyasha, who held his hands crossed tightly across his flat stomach. He calmed down slightly, "Inuyasha, what is wrong? Are you not happy with our child?"
His brother looked up at him, "Why are you being so nice? Am I not a filthy half-breed in your eyes, or is it because I need to produce an heir for you before you throw me aside?" Sesshoumaru could see the lost and sadness in his eyes, he could feel his heart being ripped apart exactly like a year ago when Inuyasha was lying in the same bed when he had confessed to him. "Inuyasha, do you not remember what had happened last year in this very same spot? And you are saying I am a liar or do I not convince you enough with my actions?" he questioned him very coldly, but he couldn't help it; he needed to know what Inuyasha was thinking at that second, what had he misunderstand. Inuyasha remained silent, he had remembered but the fact that Sesshoumaru had called him a Hanyou, something that hurt him deeply. "You are a liar. You lied to me about loving me; you are too pure, too proud to love something as dirty and disgusting as a Hanyou! I can't I believed in a bastard like you, and most of all, I can't believe myself for falling in love with you!" He was shocked, was this because of this morning? All of this mess just because he had called him a Hanyou for being a stubborn bakamono? "I only called you a Hanyou because you were being a stubborn idiot! We would not even have known you were pregnant unless we came!" He felt like swearing, but he held back, it would only upset Inuyasha more. "Inuyasha, I swear on everything I have, I love you! The mark on our necks symbolizes that already! What more do I have to do to show you that I love you?! You never trust anyone, not even me!" He stormed out of there, leaving Inuyasha to cry by himself. All he could feel was the anger directed at himself, not Inuyasha, so much that he didn't even notice the little fox walking along the side of the hallway as he passed.
The door opened again and little head popped around the corner of it. It bounded over to the silver haired demon; he didn't even notice his body was wracking with sobs. "Inuyasha!!! Are you alright? Do you hurt anywhere? You don't look hurt! Why are you in the Healing Wing? Did you miss me?! I missed you a lot! Why are you crying? Are you that happy to see me? I was so surprised when Jaken came to bring us to the castle to see you, Inuyasha! Sesshoumaru was so nice to us; I was scared he was going to hurt us or something." Inuyasha stared at the hyper, energetic fox in front of him, he tried to comprehend every sentence that came out, he held back his tears when Shippo spoke Sesshoumaru's name. "Shippo, its not that I don't miss you, but why are you here?"
The little guy looked up at him with those big eyes, which got even bigger if you could believe it. "You mean you don't know Inuyasha? Oh no!!! Did I ruin the surprise?! Sesshoumaru told the toad guy and the weird horse thingy to get us, because you missed us. Hey! Sesshoumaru's scent is all over you, it's coming from a mark on your neck Inuyasha! Does it mean you guys are mates?"
Inuyasha looked down again, he nodded slowly. "Yes, I am Sesshoumaru's mate now, we used to be informal mates, whatever Yujiro meant, but he doesn't love me. I love him a lot and now I'm carrying his pup! I don't know what to do Shippo!" His hands shook as they clenched together. A little padding weight crawled up to look him in the eyes, the fox's head slightly tilted in confusion; saddened by what he had said, Inuyasha listened closely. "What are you saying Inuyasha? I know I'm younger than you, and know less stuff than you but Father had once said that to mark a mate, the Youkai must really love the other who has the same feelings toward themselves. He told me that informal mates are actually the ones who are truly meant for each other but didn't realize it yet. So its impossible for Sesshoumaru mark you as his without feeling love somewhere inside." The little fox jumped back to the end of the bed, Inuyasha still stared for a moment before smiling happily. "Do you want to see Sango and Miroku? I can go get them; you seem really confused right now Inuyasha and I think they can help you more than me."
Inuyasha shook his head, already swinging his feet on to the ground. "No Shippo, you've helped a lot, sorry for acting like this right now but I swear I'll be okay when you see me next, but I need to go talk to Sesshoumaru now. I'll see you soon." He kissed Shippo lightly on the head before leaving, searching all over the castle for the older demon. Oblivious in his search, the same figure that had hurt him a year ago followed, hiding in the dark shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity. 'I'll fulfill my overdue mission soon, master, be patient for a while more.'
