Ankwhat: you're the first one to ever review as soon as the chapter is posted and that makes me very happy, also to receive immediate feedback. Thanks! And I'm glad you love the chapter. Haha high five ✋I don't want Sora to have Sesshomaru either. Inuyasha acting like a girl…? Hm…I never realized that, I guess it is a bit true…it's just that I tried to make him react the way his personality would but who knows. :) thanks again.

Chapter 10: Admit it, or Run away
"I'm curious as to why any of this matters to you?" The youkai questioned wanting to confirm many thoughts.
'It was that question again.' Inu thought to himself. The question he kept asking himself as to why he would get so pissed whenever it had to do with the pure blooded demon or why he cared so much out of the necessary. Giving up and feeling totally pathetic Inuyasha dropped back onto the couch with Sesshomaru slowly releasing his hands. His head was still low and he couldn't bring reason behind his actions anymore. Somewhere deep it was like he knew the answer and at the same time it was too vague to be known.
The elder sighed again. 'He's obviously jealous but doesn't realize it. Is this what inexperience looks like?'
"Geez, I leave you alone for a few hours and your imagination goes crazy." The demon confessed and rested his hand on the younger's head. "Look at me." Inuyasha raised his head unconditionally with the hand still firmly planted there. "Answer me. Why don't you want me to see her?"
"…how am I supposed to know?" The half-demon answered rudely rotating his face away in another direction. Sesshomaru was sick of these endless games and wanted to hear the forbidden truth already but something told him there was still quite a long way to get there. He slid the hand that was on Inuyasha's hair down to cup the back of his skull and pull him in for an abrupt kiss. Oddly enough, the hanyo somewhat accepted it this time. When they broke apart from it, a small haze appeared before Inuyasha's eyes as he waited for the elder to continue.
"I'm not going to continue if you don't even know what it is that you want." The demon coldly stated, leaving having no intentions to spoil him. Inu felt even more embarrassed at his actions and his blush deepened. However he didn't like his brother's sly tricks on him either which caused him further humiliation.
'Jerk... I don't want to see him again.' Inu felt so deeply hurt and ridiculed that he decided to dash out of the house.
When night fell, Sesshomaru had to order dinner from outside since Inuyasha still didn't report home and wasn't answering his calls. It was until later that evening when Miroku called and notified that inuyasha would be spending the night at his place. The youkai didn't have a choice but to say "fine" after a long pause.
The next day: same story.
Day after that: again, no coming home but straight to Miroku's house and spending the night there.
By now Sesshomaru was at his wits end. He mentioned before how envious he would feel when inuyasha would spend the whole day with the neighbor's kids when they were young. Well now, it was like ten fold with an extra layer of possessiveness on top and he didn't like it at all. If this had happened in the past he wouldn't have felt so pissed about it but after everything they've been through he was in a really lousy mood and decided to take action.
After his class he immediately went to the younger's school and waited at the gates. Miroku, Kagome and Sango noticed almost immediately. Inuyasha averted his gaze not really sure how to escape this time now. Honestly, part of the reason he wanted to spend time away from Sesshomaru was in hope that he could understand his feelings a bit better.
"Sesshomaru-san…what a surprise to see you here." Miroku greeted but only earned a glare in return.
"Unfortunately I'm here to pick a certain immature brat up." The silverette confessed. "Half breed, we're leaving." He directed towards Inuyasha and turned about face, ready to leave.
"I'm not." The Hanyo muttered. The daiyoukai swerved his head back at him.
"I'm sorry?" Trying his best to contain himself on school grounds and yet his evil aura of doom contaminated the atmosphere around them. The other three kids felt like lambs in a lion's den.
"Inuyasha said he'll be delighted to go!" Kagome pushed Inu towards the elder.
"That's right! He was actually waiting for you to show up." Miroku lied and supported Kagome in the push. "So, please take this somewhere else…" (XD)
"Eh? Traitors!" Inuyasha cried. Sesshoamaru took hold of Inuyasha's slim wrist and began walking away already. 'Ow,ow…' Inuyasha tried to keep up with his strong grip.
As soon as they reached home the youkai shoved the younger one inside the door and then shut it tight.
SLAP! Next thing Inuyasha realized, he was holding his right cheek in disbelief after he managed to turn his head back to face Sesshomaru who seemed to be the one to slap him. And obviously wasn't in the best of moods either.
"Just how much further do you plan to trouble me?" He questioned, troubled indeed. Inuyasha now seated on the floor didn't answer immediately and could only feel his burning cheek. Normally getting hit, smacked or kicked by his elder brother wasn't a big deal, in fact it was normal for them.
' But what was different this time?' Inuyasha didn't realize when the tears formed in his eyes and he began pouring them down. This time actually seemed to hurt very badly, physically and emotionally. In a moment or so he actually began sobbing like a little kid again.
"I'm…sorry... Sorry…" Was all the hanyo's soul told him to say in between his cries. Sesshomaru didn't take long to cool down and surprisingly he was feeling the guilt haunt him for a change. Hence he didn't spare time to step over to his cute brother and rest his broad hand near the back of his head.
"I got carried away. I had no intentions of hitting you. Forgive me." The elder earnestly spoke. Inu was already feeling too vulnerable to think with the cluster of emotions and the last thing he needed was Sesshomaru speaking to him in such a gentle voice.
"Nisan!" Inuyasha cried with a sniff throwing his arms around the elders neck, burying his weeping face and demanding comfort from the other. After all it wasn't everyday that Sesshomaru would show an ounce of kindness.
"Don't just leave me so suddenly again." The silverette embraced him back automatically. He hoped that this would be a lesson for Inuyasha but he had to remember that Inu was still just a 14 year old kid.
"You care?" The younger one asked innocently challenging his words.
"I do now." Sesshomaru answered modestly. Inuyasha thought he was stupid for feeling happy when he should've been mad from before. But yes, he felt lighter for some reason and really blissful. It's also a good thing Inuyasha's not the type to hold grudges, right?
'That's right, you only need to rely on me.' The elder thought as he clenched Inuyasha unnoticeably tighter.
Sesshomaru walked into the living room from his own room and spotted Inuyasha standing over the phone table, talking.
"Yeah, I know, I know. Okay. Yeah I love you too. Bye." He hung up.
"Was it mom?" The elder asked.
"Yup."
"I see." The silverette bent down and casually gave Inuyasha a brief kiss on the lips like it was the most normal thing to do. Inuyasha just stood there as always never knowing when to expect what from his brother. Sesshomaru looked back at him and after two seconds placed his hand on the younger's lower back pulling him closer for another one. Only this time Inu covered the kisser's mouth with both his hands.
"If you're doing this then does that mean you …like me?" The smaller asked. Sesshomaru quickly remembered the time of ten year old Inuyasha's first kiss with him and what he said back then: 'I saw it on TV…when two people like each other…' [chap 5]
"I wouldn't be this close to anyone else." The elder confirmed indirectly speaking.
"I… like you too so you won't be mad if I did it this time, right?" He murmured afraid he'd be pushed away again like 4 years ago.
"Never." Sesshomaru spoke with utmost confidence and appeasement. There conversation wasn't over just yet because as much as the elder wanted to continue, the hanyo still looked like he had something to say. "What is it?"
"Um…then is this like going out…or just brotherly love?" Inu had to clarify even though he already knew the answer.
'I knew it, he's still too much of a kid.' "Have you known any brothers do this?" Inuyasha blushed a bit deeper.
"No…" So we really are in a relationship, but wait isn't this wrong? I never noticed before because I never hated it… The boredom was killing Sesshomaru so he leaned forward again just to be rejected again. "Wait, isn't this wrong?"
Sesshomaru looked rather annoyed by now. "Too late." He simply stated and took hold of the younger's lips. "I don't want to hear this now. I've already held back more than I should have just to have things to turn out this way anyhow." The youkai stepped forward and brought him to the couch kissing him once before climbing on top. He then kissed a lock of Inuyasha's identical long hair. Inuyasha felt a million butterflies fluttering in his stomach and he questioned if he was really ready for this. But he couldn't think over his continuously pounding heart either and really wanted it to stop. He was too nervous for what awaited him and didn't seem mentally ready yet. Peeking his eyes open he noticed the time on the clock.
"Ah! The time! You'll be late." The hanyo notified pushing the elder demon slightly away with his hands on the youkai's shoulder lines. Sesshomaru sucked his teeth and looked at the clock as well. He was right. He took off one of Inuyasha's hand off his shoulders and kissed it before letting it go and getting off. Inuyasha just stared at his brother dazed at the new side he discovered of his elder brother. Who knew he could be so devoted and affectionate if he wanted to? And furthermore, Inuyasha was probably the only person in the whole world that was receiving Sesshomaru's love…the thought made him feel even more special.
"Then again, maybe I should skip?" The youkai thought out loud.
"Who's skipping now?! Just go." Plus Inuyasha had to get to school too in another ten minutes.
At school:
"So summer's almost here, do you have anywhere to go?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha just sighed not exactly listening. "What's with the sigh? I thought you of all people would be jumping at the news of that?"
To be continued…
Inuyasha has now entered the world of 'love-affairs'– no wonder he's sighing. Haha! I always find him so innocently cute.
Hm…quite a lot took place in this chapter so I'll let you digest all that first. I guess this chapter also serves as a turning point:
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru have finally admitted their feelings for each other and are now dating- as new as that sounds, but the problems aren't over just yet! Stay tuned.
I have to admit I love how characters fall in love but I love the consequences that come after even more :D!
