"speaking"
thoughts
Sesshomaru sat on the floor of his father's study reading stacks of books trying to figure out what was going on with him, but after three books he was beginning to loose hope that he would be able to get an answer without his father's assistance.
"A little late to be doing research don't you think."
Sesshomaru turned to see his brother Inuyasha in the doorway with a can of soda.
"Yes, but I am trying to find an answer for my strange behavior."
"Well, what about?"
"You first."
"Fine," Inuyasha sighed, "It seems that Kagome is my mate."
"I knew it." Sesshomaru smirked.
"So does your research have anything to do with how attached you've gotten to our new little sister?" Inuyasha asked joining his brother on the floor and picking up a note pad, "what's this?"
"My symptoms." Sesshomaru replied.
1) Feel a jolt every time I touch her.
2) Can't say 'no' to her.
3) Have a never ending desire to make her happy.
4) Very protective and possessive of her.
5) Love when I'm near her.
"What if Rin is your mate?" Inuyasha asked.
"She's seven...that is sick and creepy. I am not a pedifile little brother."
"But its still possible...we're demons when we see our mate that's it."
"Its a ridiculous notion." Sesshomaru resolved.
"Well, have you come up with a better idea, Mr. I know everything about everything?"
"...No..."
"That's what I thought, but I'll still help you look."
Inutashio stood outside the door to his study; he'd noticed the light on and had been about to enter when he heard his sons talking...and oh my Kami they're being civil! He thought in shock.
He listened to the entire conversation, and though he had no idea what Sesshomaru's 'symptoms' were, he agreed with Inuyasha's conclusion of Rin being Sesshomaru's mate.
"Oh! There you are love!" Izyoi said when her husband had finally returned to their room.
"We may have adopted our son's mate..." he said still in shock that the boys had been nice to each other.
"Kagome is Inuyasha's mate, so I assume you're referring to Sesshomaru." She said not concerned at all.
"Yes."
"Well, if its true he'll have to wait until she's fifteen." She said.
"Yes," Inutashio said. "but he can at least tell her so she'll know...and mark her."
"Of course! I will even allow kisses and cuddling...so long as he doesn't get inappropriate." Izyoi said. Really she was thinking about the grandchildren she would soon have since both boys had found their mates.
"You know Kagome has the perfect hips for childbearing."
"What?" Her husband asked sweat dropping.
AN: Ooooooh, mates. ;)
R&R please.
