10. Happily Ever After
His dreams were restless, he continue to wake randomly throughout the night. Sesshomaru groans as he walks out to his balcony. The darkness of night still hung heavily over his lands, it was nowhere near morning, yet this had to be his eighth time waking already.
Waning gibbous moon facsimile how he thought he should feel. The moon was almost whole; missing less than a half. He looks up to the pale moon with his blazing eyes. "Dear Lady Luna, the House of the Moon has always been faithful to you; shunning the blazing sun to be grace with the melody of the night. So, I ask, why have you forsaken me?"
A single tear fell from the Lords eyes. Suddenly Sesshomaru fell to the ground. His body temperature fluctuated causing his muscles to pulse rapidly. His own demonic aura moved independently covering him. He was force into the beast domain, "Master?"
"What have you done?" Sesshomaru snarls out trying to get on his feet despite the pain.
The beast snorts. His master will be ok; he continues to talk "No one has forsaken you." The beast walks over to Sesshomaru and using his nose he aids him to stand still. "Does it pain the master to feel what he put me through?"
Swatting the beast away, he struggles to stay standing, but somehow manages to. "Allowing an emotion to bring you down is shameful." Cocking an eyebrow the beast releases the barrier that surrounding them. Sesshomaru fell; he bit down on his bottom lip. "What the hell?" He grunts as his nerve ending are violently attacked.
"That master is all the emotions that I have kept bottle up." He erects the barrier, "While you were unable to feel, I was bombarded with all these emotions."
"Serve you right," Sesshomaru scuffs back, slightly glad to know he wasn't the only one suffering. He froze, he was glad. The beast smirks at his master's reaction.
"It is best when we are at balance." Beast notes. Sesshomaru nods. "Remaining in balance will be hard." He adds trying to direct the conversation.
"Get to the point."
"Inuyasha brings balance."
"How…?"
"I will not forgive you for leaving him. You left, you didn't even give me a chance to say goodbye."
"You will not have him."
The beast froze, 'stubborn,' the beast thinks to himself. "Why?"
Sesshomaru froze, why? He couldn't really pinpoint why he was so upset. Moments before Inuyasha claim to want him everything was right with the world. At first Sesshomaru thought it was a sick, twisted joke. Again he was unsure on why he was upset that the boy would play with him in such a way. To say that Sesshomaru was surprise when Inuyasha stuck to his word was an understatement.
Sesshomaru also knew it wasn't just the beast. Before his beast had even gotten into the picture Sesshomaru had wanted to claim Inuyasha succulent lips. It had happen when Inuyasha was lying upon him; he had felt the urge to. The half demon had refused to look away from his eyes. Sesshomaru would never forget how it felt like his brother was trying to read him. It would have ended completely different if Inuyasha was able to read him, all the imperfection he might have seen would cause him to run for the hills.
That didn't happen. He was positive that Inuyasha had seen something. He had wanted to run. He wouldn't be defeated, so instead he hurt the boy with his words, 'The only thing wrong with me is you." That had hurt Inuyasha, but that cause him to inflict pain upon himself.
There were too much emotions flying around back then. The beast had taken advantage of it and came to the front. The beast had indulged in the younger male. The beast watched the boy masturbate; he had tasted Inuyasha's flesh and even share blood. Sesshomaru wouldn't lie, he had wanted to participate. The beast had force him in to the beast domain locking him away from it all. "It's your fault," Sesshomaru finally answers as realization hits him on why he really was upset, "you took it all."
Red eyes narrow in query. "Do not speak in riddles, master." The beast was no fool. He knew when his master went into his own thoughts, and blocks him off, something was going to occur.
"You had Inuyasha to yourself." He was jealous of his beast. "You didn't even think about how much he would play us for a fool." Sesshomaru refuse to believe he was jealous, he was angry with his little brother because he was free from his title. The boy had friends and a lifestyle he would never have. When Sesshomaru finally had the boy, the beast took him. "Do you know that your lover has proclaimed love for, not one, but two female humans?" Sesshomaru crosses his arms over his chest, his voice softens, "And there is no room in his heart for us."
The beast couldn't believe his master's words, "Let's us go to him." He nudges Sesshomaru trying to make him turn to face him, "Let him say, with his own words that there is no feelings for us."
"You will allow him to mar us." Sesshomaru snarls, and turns to face the beast.
"Even Lady Luna, understands that beauty shines in the depth of darkness." Laying down the beast and Sesshomaru are more eye to eye. "Nothing can deface us, we are the killing perfection. Master I need you to understand that I need to be balanced, and to be so I need to have my other half. The only being when fucking isn't just a physical task to release tension. Inuyasha is a heavenly blessing that emotions course through."
"I should say no."
"But you won't. Your stubbornness will surely be the death of us." The beast smirk at the sour face Sesshomaru threw his way. "Understand, I cannot create feeling by myself, I am no more than your consciences. Even if you believe the feelings you have for your brother is minute know that it isn't. I hold the true weight of it all on my shoulders, and it is heavy. What burdens you burdens me and in inverse are you willing to live with this weight forever."
"We will see him tomorrow." Sesshomaru finally declares after a moment of silence. 'What mysteries would the morning sun bring?'

No more, he will never again allow the gods play him as the fool. He will take his own life in his own hands. Inuyasha held the petite hand of Kagome in his own has he leads her through the forest named after him. They came to the god tree.
A tree name after all those who mocked him from their throne, 'laugh now,' he snarls in his mind. He hears Kagome call his name. "Yes." He answers.
"Um, what are you doing?" Kagome ask shyly.
Inuyasha smiles down at her. Of course the girl would be confused. He had just waked her out of her sleep in the middle of the night and demands her to be quite and follow him. "Just a few more steps, ok?" Inuyasha encourages.
Inuyasha had been in his tree branch. Lord dumb ass flooded his mind. He reminisces over it all and had come to the conclusion that the encounter with Sesshomaru was just one more way that the deities were fucking with him. He looked down at his sleeping friends. His eyes fell on Kagome; she was a kind, beautiful soul. 'It would be so much easier to fall in love with her.' He thought.
He smirks; it was truly about time he took control of his life. For a second fear course through him, he was unsure. He was unsure of what he was unsure about. Could it be that he was afraid to be with Kagome? Maybe he was scared that he was purposely cutting away all ties to his brother? He places his hands on the sleeping girl and begins to wake her. There was no turning back.
They finally reach the god tree. Kagome was slightly out of breath, her cheeks were slightly pink, and she looks up at him with bright chocolate brown eyes. "What is all of this about?" She turns to face him, resting her back on the tree trunk.
"Kagome," he reaches out to hold her hand trying to concentrate on his task; he takes in all his courage. "We've been through a lot." He was dawdling; he quickly stops himself, "Let's give us another chance."
She was silent.
"Kagome, Kagome…" he calls out.
"Oh Inuyasha," she bawls out, "I wanted to hear that for a while now." She throws herself on Inuyasha. "Inuyasha I love you." Kagome bury herself into his chest.
Those three words hit the half-demon like a ton of bricks. He didn't think she would say something so important so easily. He wraps his slender arms around her. He inhales her scent, and snuggles closer, 'Maybe I will be able to say that too,' Inuyasha thinks.
Kagome takes a measure step back, she tilts her head up. Their eyes lock, she goes on the tips of her toes. Under the waning gibbous moon they shared a long tender kiss. Kagome gave a deep moan. Inuyasha instantly responds. Kagome runs her tongue on his bottom lip, with hesitation he allows her in. Inuyasha dominates the kiss with a nip of her tongue. They explore each other's mouth. When they finally break apart Kagome goes back to resting on Inuyasha's rapidly beating heart.
"Let's head back to camp?" Inuyasha decides as he picks her up bridal style.
Running from treetop to treetop he couldn't help but wonder. He had just shared a kiss with Kagome, yet, something seems off. It was nothing like Sesshomaru's kiss. Yes, it was sweet and enjoyable. It just seems to be missing the spark that course through him like when him and Sesshomaru shared a moment. No, he was with Kagome, a woman who was in love with him, a woman that he will teach himself to fall in love with.
Inuyasha looks down at the slip of a woman in his arms as she begins to doze off. His eyes fill with determination; "I will overcome the cruel gods. I will love Kagome, I will have my happily ever after" Inuyasha vow to himself that night.
