Dear reader's as I told my wife earlier for some reason i can envision inuyasha singing and be psy gentleman style and gangnam style! oh man I am so one day going to cosplay inu and I'm going to do a remake of the video and change nothing and sesshomaru shall be in it he will be the guy in yellow and so will koga and miroku as the two guys dancing over inu... and the guy who throws his hands out to the side dancing and swinging his hips will be jaken! I WILL DO THIS SOME DAY! That is all. Now without further ado here is chapter 9! See An at the bottom.
Kurama sat at his desk digesting the information, Mira had given him.
"Something fishy is going on around here" Kurama thought silently to himself, golden eyes narrowing.
"I agree someone is trying to harm our mate to be! Not to mention we have the dog demon to deal with!" His youkai yawned laying down baring his fangs, red eyes never blinking.
"Will you please stop with that, it IS NOT Sesshomaru we should be worrying about; it is not he that poses a threat to Inuyasha. Besides, we have already agreed to put our differences aside for the hanyou's sake; this matter requires our full attention." Kurama scolded gently, understanding his youka's outrage.
"So it would seem, but I cannot agree with the young lord! Our Servants know better, than to act out against their future master, there is something else going on in the shadows." Narrowing his eyes the youkai fox stood pacing back and forth.
Kurama nodded his head silently. Starting to tap his foot in agitation, closing his eyes he took a deep breath.
"There has to be someone else, who put Makoto up to this." He growled in frustration.
Inuyasha just wanted to go inside and relax, but instead he tried to pay attention to what his elder brother was teaching him. It wasn't that he didn't want to learn, but they had been repeating the same routine for the last two days. He couldn't understand why he was just standing here, he should be playing with Shippo!
"Inuyasha! Pay attention, when this Sesshomaru takes the time out of his schedule to teach you!" Sesshomaru barked out, annoyance flickering in his eyes.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes heavenward.
"Why do I have to do this again?" He complained breathing heavily. His hair stuck to his face and beads of sweat rolled down his enflamed cheeks.
"Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole body and soul can be a true master. For this reason, mastery demands all of a person." Sesshomaru stated bluntly, agitation rising in his voice.
Inuyasha groaned and stood lifting the heavy sword his brother had given him. It seemed to weigh a ton, and made it hard for him to keep his balance. His arms ached; all he wanted was just to drop the sword. Sweat got into eyes, but he couldn't wipe it away.
"Ru-nii, please can we stop! I'm all sweaty…and tired!" The young boy complained.
"The more you sweat in training, the less you will bleed in battle." Was the only reply he got, as the Daiyoukai lifted his arms a bit higher.
Correction made the youkai circled his younger brother again tsking as he used is feet to spread his brother's a little more.
Inuyasha pouted his long white fluffy tail swishing back and forth. Noticing this Sesshomaru gently took the tail in his hands, moving closer to wrap it about his brother's shoulder like his own.
Inuyasha huffed out loud, glowering as his arms started to tremble. Biting back a whine that was building up in his throat he tried harder to stand still. Nose twitching madly, he could feel his strength, depleting even more.
"Come on! I CAN do this…I don't want to…But I CAN!" Inuyasha thought fiercely, his determination showing on his face.
Sesshomaru was impressed with his 7 year old brother.
"Much better little one! Just a few more hours, before we start the real training we need to build, up your muscles, and your stance." He chuckled lowly pleased by the look of despair the younger inu hanyou sent him.
*Several hours later*
Exhausted Inuyasha lowered himself in the hot springs, leaving only his ears visible. His overworked body instantly relaxed. He would have fallen asleep if it had not been for the fact that he still had to attend supper.
Inuyasha straightened up in the tub and swam over to the pots that lined its length. Dipping his hand in one of them he pulled out a gooey substance for his hair. Methodically he started to rub it in, gently scratching at his scalp.
"Hmm this stuff smells, so good." He mused aloud.
Finishing with his hair, he dipped a claw hand in another pot, and started to rub the rose smelling stuff all over his body, lathering it up. Dipping completely under the water he rinsed himself off. With his task complete he waded out.
*Several months later.*
Kurama was still no closer to figuring out who had planned the attack.
Letting out a growl he slammed his fist on the table making the items that cluttered it jump, and fall back down in disarray. Slumping down in his chair, the fox rubbed his weary eyes.
Letting out a pent up sigh, he stood, going to his window. Looking out of it, he felt lost as to what to do. The young lord knew that if he didn't find out who was had set up the attack soon, he would lose all rights to the hanyou.
"Koinu, if I cannot find out who is behind this, then I have no right in keeping you here. If I cannot keep you safe, and happy what kind of mate would I make?" he whispered his heart heavy with the thought.
Inuyasha, and Shippo lay in a field of grass, staring up at the sky.
"Inuyasha, nibh Aenean nec paenitet me quod odisti ... mihi?" Shippo looked over at Inuyasha lifting himself up.
(Inuyasha, I really am sorry that I couldn't help you...Do you hate me?)
Inuyaha sighed looking at the fox kit.
"Shippo, gavisus sum tui OK. RU-nii cum fuerit exercens me, quia ego sum multo robustior, potest etiam ego meam uti venenum! Nolite ergo solliciti esse semper dixi custodire te Afterall tuus amicus meus optimus!" Inuyasha grinned, gold eyes sparkling.
(Shippo, i'm just glad that you're ok. Since Ru-nii has been training me, i am much stronger; I can even use my poison! So don't worry i will always protect you! You're MY best friend after all!)
With emerald eyes shimmering with unshed tears the kit launched himself at Inuyasha. Hugging the hanyou tightly he nuzzled him. Before growing very quiet, Inuyasha frowned.
"Quid hoc est rei? Numquid perturbatus vobis? Non intendentes!" Inuyasha asked quietly worry marring his voice.
(What is the matter? Did I upset you? I didn't mean to!)
Shippo shook his head no, looking up with adoration in his eyes.
"Inuyasha ... cum utraque crescere, fiunt w-tu coniunx mea?" Shippo blurted out nervously, bushy tail twitching as he lowered his head shyly.
(Inuyasha...when we both grow up, w-will you become my mate?!)
Inuyasha's cheeks heated a bright red, and he lowered his gaze, he didn't understand what a mate was.
"If Shippo wants me as a mate, then I guess it will be ok! He is my bestfriend! Maybe I should ask him what a mate is exactly…Nahhh I don't want to seem to dumb…he might hate me?!" Mind made up Inuyasha grinned.
"Certus! Socios esse possimus! Heus ... Shippo nos semper optimos amicos perpetuum ius?" The older male asked feeling somewhat shy.
(Sure! We can be mates! Hey...Shippo we will always be best friends forever right?)
Shippo snapped his head back, awe written on his young face.
"Maybe we should seal it with a kiss?...Mommy does it with daddy, and there mates so it should be ok?!" Nodding to himself the young fox lifted himself up and planted his lips on Inuyashas.
Sesshomaru had taken the two friends with him, when he had left the castle to go and hunt. Feeling it was safe enough he left them in a small meadow. He had full confidence that his little brother was strong enough to defend both of them.
Having caught a huge deer, he picked it up with his tail not wanting to bloody his clothes. He had an image to keep after all. Trekking back the way he had come, he heard the whispering of the two boys in a made up language.
Walking into the edge of the small little clearing, he looked up in time to see the fox kit press his lips to his little brother, who apparently was returning the kiss.
Neither boy noticed, the Daiyouka's scent becoming stronger, they were absorbed in each other. That is until a feral growl so loud, that it shook the tree's and themselves knocked them out of their reverie.
Inuyasha was the first to look up, and what he saw, put the love of the gods into his soul.
"Se-Sesshomaru-nii?" He asked voice quavering.
AN: Oh man don't kill me! I worked really hard on this chapter tonight, I know it's on the short side but I hope you will like it! This chapter is dedicated to my wife and Peya Luna, who always leaves me a nice long review! I absolutely eat that up! I love seeing your reviews! I hope you guys aren't to angry at the cliff hanger!
Guest : OOOO, is it Naraku? And Sesshomaru is being hypocritical now! Saying Kurama shouldn't have done those things with his too-young brother, but then doing them himself! Tsk, tsk, for shame.
Please update soon!
My Response: Sadly I can't tell you who the conspirators are . As far as Sesshomaru and Kurama goes I think they got there just desserts in this chapter don't you?
Peya Luna: nope, im not psychic, just REALLY into this story so i can kinda see whats happening next - it would have been downright unrealistic when all the fullblooded demon servants are happy that their lord brought back a halfbreed from lord knows where AND want to mate him too boot, maybe even offering to plan the wedding *snort* yeah, right...im curious what theyll cook up now that their first attempt failed, especially since its now glaring obvious that 'the pathetic halfbreed' is quite strong...i mean hello, he killed quite a few of them and not only survived the poisoning but is turning it into a new weapon to defend himself? uber-awesomness! speaking of awesome, thanks for adding shippo, lil inu needs a friend his age! oh, and i totally loved how feral!inu reacted to sess - whereas the fox was growled at. btw i cant help but feel that not only would foxy make a bad mate but isnt the best/brightest lord either - if something like that had happened at sess palace he would have at the very least gave all the servants a stern talk about not attacking his guests, likely chopping off a few heads in the process, to make it crystal clear that whoever was (still is!) behind this wont get away with this...not that i can imagine any in their right mind would try something like that under sess nose in the first place. HIS subjects know not to cross their lord!
My response: Lol I can't wait to read what you think about this chapter! And your right about the servant's but at the same time, I don't think they would be so dumb as to use one of their own, they would have to know they would be caught! As far as Kurama being dumb, don't count him out just yet, I mean he is a fox after all! :D
Iliana133: i cant wait for the next chapter!
My response: Thank you, I made sure to upload this chapter as soon as it started to form in my head, I didn't sit down to write this until tonight, so I hope you like it!
cutepuppy21: I LOVE THE FACT YOU GAVE INU WHIPS JUST LIKE SESS! Now come on sess drive your mighty fang sword through that child molesting fox!
My response: I seriously laughed at this for a good 2 to 3 minutes! That was cute! But unfortunately Sessh and Kurama have bigger fish to fry right now :D Seems has if there is more then one molesting fox,ne?
