Chapter 4

"I'll be back tomorrow," Their father had told them, packing some of his things for the long trip to the other side of the mountain. Inuyasha just nodded, bundled up in his favorite hoody. Over the night their heater broke, so their father had to go to the closest residence, a hot spring hotel.

He would try to get them a portable heater, or a mechanic, but there was no guarantee.

The trip would take a day because he had to go by foot, and even for a demon it was a long walk. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha would have the entire day to themselves, and Inuyasha had only two things in mind.

Sleeping and eating.

Inuyasha was downstairs an hour after his fathers departure, his stomach wanting something sweet. He was whipping up a cheesecake, his favorite sweet for such a cold day. The thought of what had happened yesterday was still fresh in his mind, but he easily pushed it away.

Inuyasha was a beta, and being attracted to an Alpha was normal for when he became fertile. That didn't mean that Sesshomaru was his…

Inuyasha stopped working, his eyes staring down at the counter. All night he had contemplated what had happened, but he couldn't. His demon, his soul so desperately wanted Sesshomaru that Inuyasha was having a hard time telling himself Sesshomaru wasn't his Alpha.

But he knew he wasn't, that was impossible.

Sesshomaru was just an Alpha, and as a beta Inuyasha might have been mildly attracted. That didn't mean anything beyond that. Inuyasha nodded once, his brow furrowing as he pushed the thought away once again. He breathed deeply as he just concentrated on cooking, easily distracting himself.

When he finished the cheesecake, he wondered if he should set it in the fridge or not. He did anyway, thinking of what else he could make while it cooled down. He decided to make some rice and grilled fish, deciding to make some toast too. It couldn't harm anybody.

He started to cook again, doing it more to keep himself distracted rather than being hungry. He didn't know Sesshomaru had snuck downstairs till a chair was pulled out, Inuyasha's ear twitching at the sudden noise. He didn't turn around though, sudden anger filling his chest. Sesshomaru was becoming protective of him, and he wasn't even his beta.

Inuyasha started to get more violent as he cooked, nearly breaking a spatula as he grilled the fish. He cooked enough for them both, guessing he might as well. He froze when he heard Sesshomaru stand up, turning around quickly when he heard his footsteps grow closer.

Sesshomaru stopped only a few feet from him, his eyes stoic as he looked him over. Inuyasha didn't say anything, and neither did Sesshomaru. It was a silent stand off, seeing who would buckle first. Inuyasha wouldn't buckle, wouldn't give up.

"Inuyasha." Inuyasha frowned in anger, not wanting the brute to say his name. They both very well remembered what had happened, and though Inuyasha was disgusted, Sesshomaru seemed curious.

Inuyasha turned around when he smelt something burning, losing in their stand off by default. He turned off the fire, the fish only slightly burnt on one side. He sighed softly, taking it off the stove. He had two plates prepared, Inuyasha putting all of the dirty dishes in the sink.

He stiffened when Sesshomaru got close behind him, his hands touching his waist. Inuyasha tried to move away but Sesshomaru tightened his grip, not hurting Inuyasha but holding him in place. Inuyasha felt his heart beat quickly in his chest, his knuckles cracking as he prepared to fight him.

"Aren't you curious?" Inuyasha parted his lips to respond with a solid no, but when Sesshomaru moved his hair off his shoulder he could only shiver. The Sesshomaru he knew was not curious, he was cautious. Inuyasha couldn't help but feel aroused when he kissed his neck, his fingers pulling down the zipper of his hoodie.

Inuyasha felt his stomach tighten when his fingers skimmed over his hip, Sesshomaru's fingers sliding up his torso.

"Aren't you curious of what it would feel like?" Inuyasha wanted to respond with no again, but Sesshomaru rendered him speechless when he nipped his neck. Inuyasha had never liked it when Kikyo bit him when they got close to the act of being sexual, the nip turning him off.

Oh, but that wasn't the same thing with Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha was burning alive.

He needed air but wasn't greedy enough to take it.

His daze grew heavier when Sesshomaru moved closer, his body flush against his. Inuyasha took in a sharp gasp when Sesshomaru ran a thumb over his bottom lip, the skin-to-skin contact making him light headed.

"Are you ready?"

The daze lifted suddenly, Inuyasha opening his eyes.

No, he wasn't ready. He wasn't ready to give his whole being to Sesshomaru, and so he wouldn't. Inuyasha found his strength again, quickly turning and pushing Sesshomaru away. He growled at him in anger, angry that he would think of such a thing.

"Find another beta to fuck asshole!" Inuyasha spat, grabbing his plate of food and brushing past Sesshomaru as he headed upstairs. Sesshomaru didn't try to stop him, Inuyasha's anger putting him off for now.

Inuyasha knew he would try again.

He would just have to avoid him so that would be so. Inuyasha hated Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru hated him. All because Sesshomaru was high on pheromones now, doesn't mean he would be later. He would hate him again after he got what he wanted. And some part of Inuyasha wanted that.

He wanted Sesshomaru to hate him.

That made more sense than anything else. This Sesshomaru, the one that tried to seduce him, Inuyasha didn't want. He didn't want to be seduced he wanted to be hated. To be called disgusting. That was the Sesshomaru he knew, and the sudden change in his attitude did not hinder Inuyasha's thoughts.

He still hated Sesshomaru, with all of his heart.

Inuyasha put down his food on his bed, heading back downstairs to give Sesshomaru a piece of his mind. He wouldn't just allow him to put his curiosity on him, Inuyasha didn't want his stupid affections. He wanted to make sure that Sesshomaru understood this, stomping down the stairs and up to a surprisingly calm Sesshomaru who had seemed to be waiting for his return.

"You are not my goddamn Alpha!" Inuyasha yelled, panting from anger as he thought of all the things he could say to him. Sesshomaru beat him to the punch.

"Then why do you accept my advances?"

Inuyasha stopped, his cheeks going slightly red as he tried to push those thoughts away. He did not accept Sesshomaru's advances and they both knew it. Inuyasha stood up straighter, trying to make himself look bigger to show Sesshomaru he wasn't playing around.

"I do not! I don't like you or your stupid advances!" Sesshomaru stood up from his seat, moving closer to Inuyasha who didn't back down. He was a prideful half demon god damn it!

"What would you do if I kissed you right now?" Inuyasha punched Sesshomaru, trying as hard as he could to drill in his head that he wasn't interested.

"I don't like you asshole! Get that through your head!" Inuyasha was overflowing with anger and confidence, but once Sesshomaru growled he felt very small again. He took a step back when Sesshomaru moved closer, Inuyasha cornered back against a wall with only a few steps.

Sesshomaru moved till he was in front of him, his eyes staring him down. Inuyasha tried to glare back in defiance, but his demon would only submit. Sesshomaru's expression softened, a strange glint appearing in his golden eyes. He stepped back, Inuyasha relaxing slightly.

"I am your Alpha, Inuyasha." Inuyasha swallowed thickly, almost agreeing with him as his demon screamed for his touch. Sesshomaru was such a strong Alpha, his hand gentle when he touched his cheek.

"Stop fighting me, Inuyasha." Inuyasha nodded slowly, his entire body seeming no longer his own to control. Sesshomaru smirked, a rare show of emotion on his lips. He leaned down, Inuyasha taking in a sharp breath of shock when he kissed him. Inuyasha felt his groin stir, his eyes fluttering shut as Sesshomaru grabbed a handful of his hair.

His demon would have purred if it could, Inuyasha sinking to the floor and Sesshomaru following him. Sesshomaru easily maneuvered so he laid over Inuyasha, capturing the smaller half demon beneath him. Inuyasha was too lost to care, his own mind letting this happen. There was no daze, it was just him.

No it wasn't him.

This was his demon.

Inuyasha opened his eyes when Sesshomaru pulled away from the kiss, Sesshomaru reaching his hand down. Inuyasha's hoody was completely undone, Inuyasha shrugging his arms from the sleeves.

His demon wanted this, but Inuyasha couldn't agree.

But Sesshomaru was so warm, so gentle. Inuyasha pulled off Sesshomaru's shirt, their bare chests touching together as they started to kiss once again. Inuyasha was panting even though they had hardly started, a slight daze covering his mind as he got swept into the moment.

It had been so long since he had been kissed…

Inuyasha had been curious about how Sesshomaru would feel. His lips were soft, yet they were rough and demanding, his tongue holding a small taste of mint and coffee. Inuyasha moaned against his lips, his hands roaming over Sesshomaru's back and shoulders. His skin was soft but muscle rippled beneath, so much strength he was holding back that made Inuyasha shiver.

Sesshomaru reached a hand down as he deepened the kiss further, Inuyasha's eyes snapping open when he felt his hand touch his sweats. Inuyasha pulled away from the kiss abruptly, Sesshomaru frowning down at him in frustration.

"Stop," Inuyasha ordered, the mood completely vanished. Sesshomaru moved his hand back up, placing it on the floor next to Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha looked away from him, his usual hate for him just replaced with anger and displeasure.

Inuyasha wasn't ready for any of that stuff, hell he wasn't even ready for this stuff. Sesshomaru didn't move from his position over him, but he had obviously got the idea that Inuyasha wasn't ready to take that step. Sesshomaru only served at this moment to please Inuyasha and if his beta didn't want to mate, than he wouldn't force him.

To Inuyasha, he believed Sesshomaru was being driven by hormones. In truth, Sesshomaru was curious of his newfound lust towards him. Inuyasha, though impure to the bloodline, could only serve to become stronger. Sesshomaru never actually hated Inuyasha, for blood was blood. But if Inuyasha was to prove himself as a true dog demon, he had to become stronger.

And if Sesshomaru treating him like trash made him stronger, than that was what he would do.

But now was no the time to bring up old rivalries. Sesshomaru had finally broken Inuyasha's resolve enough to attempt to court him, for it was obvious mating was far from Inuyasha's mind.

Sesshomaru wondered how he could go about courting him, leaning down and kissing Inuyasha's cheek to see what he would do.

To court him, first he had to mark him. He needed to show that Inuyasha was only his to court and mate with.

Inuyasha didn't respond, so Sesshomaru kissed his neck. Inuyasha shivered, the area seeming rather sensitive to touch. That would make Sesshomaru's mating mark hurt Inuyasha more.

"What do you want, Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru asked stoically, Inuyasha looking to him with a glare. Though he tried to put up a front, Sesshomaru was confident that Inuyasha knew now that he was his Alpha. He would remain hostile towards Sesshomaru, but at least he had him subdued.

"Get off me," Inuyasha growled, Sesshomaru grinding his clothed erection against Inuyasha's. Inuyasha gasped, gripping Sesshomaru's sides as he relished in the pleasure he gave. Inuyasha panted as he rolled his hips against Sesshomaru's, greedily wanting more of that pleasure.

He stopped himself though just when Sesshomaru was about to kiss him again, turning his head away. He wouldn't let himself be dragged into this game again. Sesshomaru kissed his neck instead, Inuyasha digging his claws into his sides as he moaned softly in pleasure.

Sesshomaru had him.

"Sessh-Sesshomaru stop," Inuyasha panted heavily, arching when Sesshomaru bit down a little bit harder than before.

"Tell me I'm your Alpha," Sesshomaru whispered against his skin, Inuyasha moaning when Sesshomaru ground his hips against his again. Inuyasha burned with that pleasure, his eyes closing as he bathed in his Alpha's warmth.

Inuyasha tried to fight against his mind's thoughts, against his body's actions.

Sesshomaru was not his Alpha, he couldn't be.

"N-No," Inuyasha whispered shakily, Sesshomaru biting down that much harder. Inuyasha moaned from pain and pleasure, the mix arousing him further. He spread his legs more as Sesshomaru ground his hips against Inuyasha's, Inuyasha slipping his hands up into Sesshomaru's hair as he moaned from his bodies affect on him.

"Who is your Alpha?" Sesshomaru growled against Inuyasha's neck, Inuyasha panting as he pressed his thighs closer against Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru moved faster, Inuyasha groaning in pleasure as he drew closer to his release.

"Tell me who your Alpha is," Sesshomaru growled, Inuyasha arching against the hard wood floor as he came close to release. The cold air didn't affect him, his body shaking and covered in sweat. Inuyasha opened his eyes when Sesshomaru placed his teeth over his throat, his deadly teeth positioned to mark.

A strong Alpha could protect him. A strong Alpha could give him successful offspring. A possessive Alpha, would only want him. Inuyasha wasn't sure if he spoke or his demon did, but a single name left his lips.

"Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru bit down, Inuyasha screaming out in agony as his claws sank into Sesshomaru's flesh and he climaxed. Sesshomaru's eyes opened, the irises red as his demon roared in triumph as he came with his beta. Inuyasha gasped sharply when Sesshomaru tightened his jaw, his eyes closing as he fought back tears. One thought burned through his blissful waterfall of pleasure.

Sesshomaru had marked him.

Author's note: I would think Inuyasha wouldn't be one to easily give up his virginity.
