Author's Note: So this chapter would have been posted earlier if I hadn't have gotten wrapped up in watching Kyou Kara Maou and kuroshitsuji/black butler and re-reading Hana Kimi. But I haven't been away too long and we'll just say this is my Christmas, or holiday gift, to my readers. (^_^) Oh and yes lemon warning for this chapter. ;)

Disclaimer: Even though it would be the best X-mas gift, I do not own Inuyasha!

Chapter 10: Getting Down to Business

(Inuyasha's POV)

"Sesshomaru let me go! This is way too far for a joke!"

"Inuyasha I do not "joke", you should know this by now." The daiyoukai sighs impatiently before pulling away the remainder of the hanyou's clothing. "Just relax."

"B-Bakayaro! How could I?!" He shouts back as he attempts to push his brother off of him. He realizes that his efforts are in vain when Sesshomaru simply grabs both his wrists in one of his hands and shackles them above the Inu-hanyou's head. "Yamero!" He continues to squirm and writhe; making it very difficult for the demon lord to do anything, let alone be intimate with him.

"Inuyasha! Stop this struggling at once!" He can't help but notice the way his voice rises in irritation but what really confuses him is the paralyzing shock that runs through his body. 'What the hell was that?' It's only when Sesshomaru's hands start to roam and caress his body that he notices his body had automatically stopped struggling against him. 'What's going on? My body is barely responding to me. Why?' His attempts to push the Inu-youkai away are weak and halfhearted compared to earlier.

"Don't you get it Inuyasha?"

"Wha-?"

"You cannot resist or disobey this Sesshomaru. I'm your mate and your alpha. Even though you're a hanyou, your demon blood cannot help but to want to please and obey me."

"What?!" 'Is he serious?!' "You didn't tell me all of this before I made my decision!"

"It wasn't relevant. Now enough talk."

"No not enough—Aaah!" His sentence is cut short when he feels his aniki's hand grasp his length; effectively distracting him. His hand continues on to squeeze and rub down between his legs; causing the hanyou to blush madly and shiver with pleasure.

"Y-Yamero…Sesshomaru." He's absolutely appalled at the sound of his own voice. His command comes out as more of a moan of want and need than what was intended.

"Just relax and enjoy Inuyasha." The demon lord whispers in his ear before giving a low sexy growl that almost makes the hanyou lose it right then and there. 'Kuso…stupid traitor…' He curses his body as another wave of pleasure overcomes him as his aniki continues to rub him vigorously. Sesshomaru's tongue seems to leave a trail of fire as he licks his neck, collar bone, and chest sensually. 'Maybe I should just let hi—'

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Comes a loud, shrill voice from the other side of the door. And of course it belongs to none other than Jaken.

"…"

"…"

"What is it Jaken?" Sesshomaru glares at the door angrily before sitting up. "It had better be important."

"Yes, my lord. Your grandmother is about to leave and has asked me to fetch you for a moment."

"…"

"Sesshomaru-sama?"

"I'm coming." Inuyasha watches as he pulls his clothes back on and can't help but wonder how far he was willing to let him go. "Inuyasha."

"Huh?"

"Do not get dressed and do not go anywhere."

"Eeeh?!" The Daiyoukai just leaves him lying on the futon in his stupor. 'Kuso, there's that feeling again. It's like I have to listen to him! Unbelievable!' His anger disappears however when his eyes wonder over to the veranda. His gold eyes shine as the last rays of light disappear past the horizon and darkness begins to take over the sky. Little glimmers of light are soon visible as stars take their place in the heavens. As he watches the beautiful scene he can't help but think something's missing…'…Where's the moon?...huh!' "WHERE'S THE MOON!" Suddenly night completely captures the sky and Inuyasha can feel his transformation take over him. 'No, no, no, no!' A quick glance at the basin full of water in the corner of the room confirms his nightmare. Instead of his silver locks, he is met with long black human hair. His eyes, of course, are no longer gold but instead are dark brown. His fangs, claws, and heighted sense of smell, hearing, and sight have all disappeared. 'How the hell could I have forgotten that tonight is the night of the new moon? Oh kami, I have to get out of here before—huh?'

"No one is to disturb me until morning, understood?" The hanyou, or rather human, couldn't sense when the demon lord had came back to the room.

"Yes my lord." He can barely hear the servants' responses before the door begins to slide open.

"Aaah!"

"…Inuyasha…what are you doing?"

He had thrown his self on the futon and covered his self with a blanket. "Uh, n-nothing."

"…" Inuyasha can feel the dip in the futon; signifying that his brother had sat down next to him. A faint rustling sound also informs him that he's once again removing his clothing.

"Ano…S-Sesshomaru?"

"What is it?"

"Can this wait till' tomorrow?"

"No." His reply is blunt and leaves no room for argument.

"Why!"

"What is wrong with you? Don't speak to me from under the blanket." The Inu-youkai scowls before yanking at the covering.

"YAMERO!"

"…Inuyasha, what the hell is wrong with you?" He growls before yanking the blanket completely off.

"DON'T…look…at me…"

"…"

"Look, I know I'm disgusting. I'll just leave right now so you don't have to blow your top."

"…" His face remains stoic and unreadable.

"Tsk." He stands after the lack of response and grabs his clothes before rushing towards the door. What stops him short is when his brother grabs him around the waist.

"Where are you going?"

"What do you mean? I'm leaving. Don't you realize that I'm human? Surely, you don't want to be anywhere near me—!" Sesshomaru silences the idiot by pulling him into a rough but passionate kiss.

"W-W-Wha—"

"Silence." He growls out; sending a shiver down the human hanyou's spine before pushing him down on the plush futon. The daiyoukai soon follows and presses their pelvises together, sending jolts of fire and pleasure through their bodies. "I don't want to hear anything else from you unless they're moans of pleasure or screams of desire."

'Nani?!' His face heats up madly as the demon lord gives him another rough kiss before turning his little brother over on his stomach. The hanyou simply clutches the sheets in anticipation and closes his eyes nervously, knowing there's nothing he can do to stop his mate. He spares one glance over his shoulder and finds his aniki rubbing some type of oil all over his member in preparation. 'Oh Kami, why does he have to be so big?! Please just remember that I'm human.' One sharp thrust of his hips brings him half way into his Otouto and one more thrust buries him deep within the hanyou.

The pain and shock had been so overwhelming that when the Inu-hanyou opened his mouth to scream the sound caught in his throat and no noise escaped his lips. Both brothers lay there panting for about thirty seconds before Sesshomaru whispers into his ear. "Sorry Inuyasha, I don't think I can wait any longer."

"Hah…hah…be gentle…"

"…I'll try." He responds before bucking his hips once more against his mate. But after a moment the demon lord can't help his self and finds his self damn near slamming into his human brother.

"Nnngh!...Aaaah…Mmmm! S-S-Sesshooomaru! Nngh!"

"Ah Inuyasha, bear…with it…" He grunts out before speeding up to an unbelievable pace.

'Oh kami…I can't take it!' The hanyou can't figure out which part is harder to take. The unbearable and immense pain or…the unrelenting and bittersweet pleasure. He manages to keep his shouts and moan to a minimum for a few minutes but when the daiyoukai starts pounding into him harder he loses it. "AAAH! SESSHOMARU! AAAH, OH KAMI! MMMMPH, NNNGH!" His face turns redder in embarrassment as his voice echoes in their ears. Tears of pain and bliss frame his eyes threatening to spill out at any moment. "Y-You…hah, hah…I'm—Nngh…h-human…b-ba—aah!—ka."

The demon lord can't help but notice the strain in his voice and pulls out of him to turn him over on his back.

"W-What are you—AAAH!"

He cuts him off by shoving back into him deeply. He watches intently as his face contorts in pain and pleasure and waits patiently for the hanyou to open his eyes

When he finally does, the Inu-youkai almost laughs at his shocked expression. "W-What a-are you doing? This is embarrassing! Why do we have to face each other?!"

"Urasai. Remember what I told you earlier? No talking."

"But—Nnngh!" He moans out as the demon man continues to grind inside of him. As he pushes deeper into him Sesshomaru lavishes him in kisses and love bites all over his neck and chest while his hands caress his body and pinch his Otouto's nubs.

"Aaaaah…ugh…Sesshomaru, Nnngh…"

"Yes, my mate?"

'Oh kami, my mate?…' "I-I-I'm going…hah!"

"Mmmm, Inuyasha you're so tight. You must be a virgin."

"Urasai! You said no unnecessary t-talking!" He exclaims indignantly as another surge of pleasure rushes over his body. "Aaah! I'm going to-!" He sees nothing but white as pleasure and bliss takes over his mind and body. As he climaxes he squeezes around the Daiyoukai making him spill his seed into him at the same time.

"Hah...hah…hah…" As he rides out the last moments of his climax, Sesshomaru collapses on top of him and the hanyou finds it hard to keep his eyes from closing. Almost immediately sleep claims him as his victim…

'

The next morning he's woken up by voices around him. 'Hn? It must be morning already…this is the first time I've slept on the night of the new moon. Do I feel so safe around Sesshomaru? Speaking of which… this voice…is Jaken's…and Sesshomaru's.'

"Yes my lord. Kuma has sent this scroll back with one of our guards that had been captured."

"Understoo—"

"Let me see it!" The hanyou shoots up suddenly; scaring the bejesus out of the little green imp.

"You stupid han—"

"Jaken!" Sesshomaru growls at the little demon in outrage. "This stupid hanyou is now your lord and you shall treat him with the utmost respect unless you plan on an early death!"

"Y-Yes Sesshomaru-sama." The shocked idiot bows to the equally shocked Inuyasha before muttering. "Please do accept my humblest apologies Lord Inuyasha."

"Yeah, whatever pipsqueak, just give me the damn scroll."

"This was meant for Sessho—"

"Jaken!" Sesshomaru's eyes narrow at him dangerously. "Are you refusing to do what your master has told you?"

"N-No! Please do excuse me!" He exclaims nervously as sweat breaks out all over his bald head. "Here you are Inuyasha-sama." He bows incredulously and quite angrily before handing the scroll over to the silver-haired Inu-hanyou.

"You may leave now." Sesshomaru dismisses rudely and the green demon bows before scurrying out the doors. "What does the scroll say Inuyasha?"

He rolls it open before scanning the contents and reading out loud:

Sesshomaru,

When I attacked Inuyasha's village I was unaware of the fact that you had taken Kabu hostage. If I had known this, I would have stayed and destroyed you! Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are?! You think you can just take an Ouji without declaring war? You're more foolish than I ever thought. You shall return Kabu within two days or this will mean war. Don't be a baka.

Lord of the Southern Valleys,

Kuma

"…What are you going to do?"

"Simple." Sesshomaru scoffs clearly unaffected by Kuma's threat. "I will offer up the ransom and when he comes to collect Kabu, we destroy him and his whole village."

"What if he doesn't take the ransom and decides to attack instead?"

"Then he'll be waging war and all the neutral tribes would aid us because we would be the "victim." Don't worry about his claim of us abducting Kabu either. We can simply counter, saying that Kabu's presence is on his own free will…just a visit."

"But…" 'Where would that leave Kabu?' "What about Kabu?"

"What about him? Are you willing to forgive and forget what Kuma did for the sake of Kabu's feelings?" He turns to look at him incredulously.

"Of course not! I'm just asking what would happen to him."

"We kill him of course."

"Why must we kill him?" Inuyasha can't see how that would benefit anyone.

"Do you think that he would just stand by and watch us kill his brother and annihilate his people?"

"No…but we don't have to attack his village."

"They attacked ours. You expect us to just kill Kuma and everything will be over."

"Maybe…Look!" He turns on the defense after receiving a skeptical look from his older brother. "Sure, we'll have to kill anyone who attacks us while we're trying to kill him but we don't have to attack his village. They're innocent people—well demons! They have nothing to do with this." His mind races to thoughts of Sora and Momo. All he can think about is the many innocent bear youkai, like them, that they'd be killing for no reason. "And who knows, if we talk it over with Kabu he might understand."

"…Well I suppose as my mate I can at least take your opinion into consideration."

"Hai." He mumbles in agreement; trying to hide his light blush. "What about your Kaasan?"

"What about her?"

"Shouldn't you talk this stuff over with her?"

"No, we are now the Lords of the Western Lands. We do not need her permission to do anything."

"Alright, I'll go talk to Kabu—"

"You might want to take a bath first." He interrupts with a smirk tugging at his lips and amusement shining in his halcyon eyes.

"Go to hell!" He curses but races towards the veranda before jumping off the edge and heading towards the private springs. He completely ignores his embarrassing and reminding soreness as he sinks down into the steaming water. To his surprise four female servants appear with three different clear bottles, a brush, and some towels.

"Uuuh, what is going on?"

All four of them keep their heads bowed and eyes to the ground as one familiar voice speaks. "Which fragrance suites your taste my lord? Cherry Blossom, Strawberry Vanilla, or Cream Peach?"

"Uh…" 'Hmpt, I forgot how fake demons can be. I bet all of them think I'm disgusting and worthless but now they must respect me, how ironic.'

"If I may suggest my lord…" His ears perk up when he realizes that the same servant that had been primping him yesterday was now the only one looking him in the eye like a normal person and had been the one with the familiar voice moments ago. "Lord Sesshomaru is quite fond of the Cream Peach scent."

"Uh…ok." He sinks farther into the water as his cheeks tint with pink. "That one then."

"Very well."

"The rest of you may leave." He dismisses not wanting the others around for mock fear that they might assassinate him.

"Yes, my lord." They seem grateful to get away from the hanyou as the remaining servant starts pouring the liquid into the water.

"Ano…What's your name?"

"Hana, my lord. Might, I say it was a pleasure serving you yesterday." She responds as she pours some of the fragrance into the brush and walks towards the curious Daihanyou. An anime sweat drop takes its' place at the back of his head as she begins to brush his silver hair. 'Sigh, I'll never get used to royal life…well according to Shippo I won't have to. After all, when we settle everything with Kuma, all of this will be over…' After minutes of brushing she finally rises and steps away.

"Here are your garments. Please do excuse me." She bows before leaving him by his self. When he steps out of the water, he's annoyed to find a royal blue outfit instead of his robe of the fire rat. The blue outfit is in the same style as his robe of the fire rat but has gold designs of vines and flowers on the big sleeves and the crescent moon mark on the back in gold. The obi, which is also gold, of course is much bigger and ties in the back. He doesn't really know how he did it. 'At least they brought Tessaiga.' Soon he's back in Sesshomaru's room to find him gone but a tray of breakfast waiting for him on the made up futon. He eats quickly before leaving the room only to be attacked by a bunch of questions lined with fake concern from a mob of servants. "My lord, are you alright?"

"Do you need anything?"

"How may I be of service?"

"Are you looking for your mate?"

"Can we help you with anything?"

"NO!" he shouts agitatedly when he can finally get a word in. "Actually do you know where I can find Kabu?"

"Oh yes, Kabu-sama I believe is in the gardens."

"Arigatou." He grumbles before stalking away.

"Of course Lord Inuyasha." They bow like mindless fools before Inuyasha can make his escape. He can't help but roll his eyes at their ridiculousness. 'Ha, must be killing them to serve me.'

It doesn't take him long to reach the huge garden and in the distance he can spot Kabu sitting at a table along with Sora and Momo under a Cherry Blossom tree. "Well I see you two have become great friends, hm?" He comments when he's within range.

"Ah, Lord Inuyasha!" Sora shocks him by scrambling out of his chair to bow to the hanyou.

"Ah man, not you too!"

"What do you mea—"

"INU-KUN!" A cute scream catches their attention as Momo literally leaps into the expecting hanyou's arms. "Oh Inu-kun! They said I couldn't see you yesterday! Momo-chan was so sad; I've missed you so much!"

"Aw, I'm sorry you were sad kid. But nothing to worry about now see?"

She giggles before hugging him around the neck. "Inu-kun stays forever!"

"Momo." Sora scolds angrily. "I've already told you! Inuyasha is our lord now and you must treat him with the same respect as Lady Kazuna and Lord Sessho—"

"Ah, shut up!"

"M-My, lord?"

"Don't treat me like that, alright?"

"Bu—"

"Alright?! It makes me sick."

Sora smiles at his friend before nodding in understanding. "Alright."

"OOOOOhiyoooo, Inuyasha-kun." Kabu finally greets after finishing his tea.

"You're really treating this as a vacation huh?"

"Yep! But anyway judging by those love bites all over your neck Sesshomaru really did a number on you huh? Did you have a lot of fun last night with your lord?"

"Cho-Chotto matte Kudasai!" He stutters as Sora blushes and covers Momo's ears. "I didn't come here to talk about that!" He snaps angrily before trying to cover up the red marks with his hands.

"Oh? You're no fun, what's up then?"

One glance from the hanyou and Sora gets the picture. "Let's go Momo."

"What? Whyyyyyy? I finally got to see Inu-kun!"

"I know…Let's go find some pretty flowers for Inuyasha, ne?"

"Oooooh, hai hai, let's go!" She grabs his hand before skipping away merrily. 'Keh, reminds me too much of Rin. I bet they would be good friends…'

"So what's so important, Inuyasha-kun?"

"Do you know that your aniki attacked my human village in the Musashi Province?" He wastes no time in getting to the point.

"Unfortunately…I do." His usual light, feathery voice is suddenly weighed down by regret.

"You do? Well do you know that this can't go unpunished?"

"Of course."

"And we are going to use you as ransom…when he comes to collect you…we will…kill him."

"…"

"If he refuses to pay the price for you then we are launching a full out attack against him and your village."

"…"

He can't stand his pained silence but knows he must continue. "If you were to get in our way or interfere in anyway then we would have to—"

"Kill me I know." He finishes with a sigh before closing his deep blue eyes and running a hand through his thick long brown hair. "I'm fully aware of this. I figured you guys were coming up with a plan like this."

"And you're okay with this?"

"Hai."

"Really?" 'No way, you may be a strange guy but there's a limit to how much I'm actually willing to trust you Kabu.'

"Yes, I just have one request."

"…"

"Let me see him one last time."

"Huh?"

"Whether he's coming to get me with the ransom or whether you guys launch an attack towards our village let me see him one last time."

'This has obviously got to be a ploy to join up forces with his brother to defeat us.' "How stupid do you think we are Kabu?"

"Nani?"

"Why should we let you? So you can join forces to defeat us? I don't think so!"

"No!" He shakes his head franticly before standing up to face the hanyou properly. "It's nothing like that…Kuma is ruining our tribe. Our numbers are decreasing drastically and we are losing important alliances everywhere. Our own people are unhappy and crime is constantly breaking out all over our village. Our father was a harsh leader but…he always put the well-being of our people first. Kuma simply hungers for power and greed. He's ruining us…"

"…When the moment comes, you'll be able to do it? Will you be able to watch your brother die by my hands? Not only that but you must also live with the fact that you are contributing his defeat."

"Yes." His voice is so full of determination and does not waver a bit as he stares deep into his golden eyes. 'It's hard not to believe him but then again it is.'

"What about the very people you are talking about protecting? You're not concerned by the fact that there's a big possibility that he won't accept the ransom and that we'll have to attack the village?"

Kabu gives his new friend a warm smile before answering with utmost confidence, "I don't have to worry about that."

"How can you say that so arrogantly?!"

"Because you are not a monster. I may not have known you for a long time but I can see it in you. If this was only Sesshomaru running this situation then I would have plenty to worry about but with a mate like you at his side, I know you two will do the right thing. I don't see you as the type to attack innocent people."

"Hmpt…you think you know everything don't you?" He teases with a reassuring smile on his face.

"Ha. Not everything." He chuckles before getting serious again. "When Kuma dies, I will become the bear alpha and take over everything. I will fix as much as I can and bring peace to the bear-youkai and whatever youkai we come in contact with. I'll do everything my Oto-sama and Oni-sama couldn't do. And I'll try my best to right their wrongs."

"…" 'Wow, I've never seen this side of him. I didn't even know the baka could be so serious.'

"And Inuyasha." As he says his name his hand reaches out to grasp the Inu-hanyou's shoulder in affection and of course there's his ever present smile gracing his lips as he speaks. "I believe that together we can pave a new way for our violent, barbaric, disgusting race. Inu-youkai and bear-youkai have been savages for the better part of our history. We can change everything! And why stop there…why not pave a new way for Hanonis? For humans?"

"…" He can't help but to look at this demon man in awe. He thought it was already a rare thing to meet someone like Sora that thinks this way but now a Daiyoukai? Who knows, maybe by the way things are changing now they can change the world. "Keh! I never took you for an emotional welp."

"…" His smile fades for second before Inuyasha continues.

"But why not? Let's do it."

"Ah, I knew you wouldn't let me down Inuyasha-kun!" He rolls his eyes as the bear daiyoukai throws his self into his arms in a smothering hug. "I don't have anything better to do anyway." His eyes travel up to the sky and for the first time in days his mind travels to the girl that disappeared from his world. 'Ne Kagome? I think you'd love it if I played hero and did something like this huh? Hmpt, at least it's a good distraction to keep the pain away for a while. And even if we fail, I know that'd you'd still be so proud, Keh! Stupid wonderful girl…."
