Inuyasha looked at Kai with a glare. "Okay let's get som-"

"Shut up." Kai said blankly and walked past Inuyasha with his arm still wrapped around Amato's shoulders. "Just follow and keep your mouth shut for once." Amato sighed as Inuyasha walked behind them complaining.

"Telling him to shut up is like talking to a wall..." Amato commented. Kai hummed in agreement.

"I will change into my true form..." Kai said suddenly as they came to a stop. They had only been walking for a few minutes. "I want the both of you to hang on tightly to my fur. This way we will make it much faster to East. I'm sure Sesshomaru-sama has already made it half-way through the un-ruled part by now. Amato and Inuyasha nodded.


Naraku found Sesshomaru standing in his grand garden. "Sesshomaru?" Naraku called to gain the attention of the dazed dog demon. Sesshomaru turned to look at Naraku.

"Yes?"

"Are you sure you're okay?" Naraku asked with a frown. He walked to stand in front of Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru sighed and turned away. He nodded. Naraku came up to stand next to Sesshomaru and placed a hand on the slightly shorter demon. "You can be honest with me, Sesshomaru."

"It's...just..." Sesshomaru mumbled. He looked at Naraku. "Inuyasha did the same thing that Chichue-sama did to my mother!" Sesshomaru looked down. "Am I that unwanted? Mother left when I was only 5, Chichue-sama wanted to just mate me off after that...Inuyasha left me for a human...Amato left me to be with his father...Why is everyone leaving me?" Sesshomaru looked up at Naraku. The spider demon's expression saddened even more. As he looked at Sesshomaru, an image of the younger one he met decades ago popped up. This was the same innocent Sesshomaru as the one before.

"Sesshomaru..." Naraku mumbled.

"Why is it seemingly impossible for me to be happy?" Sesshomaru asked lowly. "I wonder what would have become of me if I had chosen you...or one of the other suitors from years ago..."

"The only reason people find it so hard to be happy," Naraku started. Sesshomaru looked up at him. "Is because they always see the past better than it was," Naraku turned to look at Sesshomaru. "The present worse than it is," He grabbed both of Sesshomaru's hands in his and stared into the younger's eyes. "And the future less resolved than it will be..."

"Naraku..."

"You mustn't think so negatively, Sesshomaru." Naraku said with a frown. Sesshomaru stared at Naraku for only a moment longer before he launched himself at him and buried his face in the crook of the older's neck. Naraku's eyes widened. He'd almost lost his balance and fell due to the sudden action. He wrapped his arms around Sesshomaru and let the trembling younger demon silently cry on him. "If you want to have happiness in your life, set and tie it to a goal, not to people or things..."


Amato, Kai, and Inuyasha came to a stop. They had managed to find a spring before Kai suddenly changed to his human form. He sat against some boulders and buried his face in his hands. Amato frowned. He walked over to Kai and placed a hand on the older demon's shoulder. "Father? Are you well?" Inuyasha growled.

"Why do you keep calling him dad? I'm your father!" Inuyasha shouted. Amato glared at him.

"So, where were you for the last 50 years of my life? You weer barely there when you were around!" Amato shouted.

"I'm fine..." Kai mumbled, interrupting the two from arguing farther.

"Why did we stop?" Amato asked.

"As much as I hate humans, I do not need the death of the humans following us to be on my conscious." Amato looked confused. Inuyasha and Amato turned to look down the path.

"What the hell are you guys doing?"

"I'm going to help!" Kagome huffed. "Whether you like it or not!"

"How the fuck did you catch up with us that fast!" Inuyasha shouted.

"Kirara and Koga!" Kagome huffed. Sure enough – even though Inuyasha and the two other demons didn't know how they missed the wolf demon – Koga was standing right next to Kagome with a smirk on his face. Kirara had just descended from the sky when Inuyasha growled.

"Dammit, you fucking annoying twig! Get lost before you get killed!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome looked miffed.

"Inuyasha, SIT BOY!" Kagome cried. Inuyasha was thrust into the ground. Kai began to growl. Amato looked back at him with a frown.

"Listen you disgraceful human, if you want to follow us and get yourself killed, so be it! Do NOT degrade the race of the inu with your wicked cursed words! Hanyou or not, he is of inu blood and I will not stand around and have you bring disgrace to our species!" Kai roared angrily. Kagome had jumped and stared at Kai with wide eyes. "Do not do it again or I will kill you!"

"O-okay..." Kagome answered shakily. Amato frowned as he looked at the wolf demon. The wolf demon had been staring at him and looking him up and down since he came over.

"And you! Wolf!" Kai shouted. Koga jumped and looked at him. "Keep your eyes off my son if you wish to keep them!"

"Your son?" Inuyasha bristled from his place still stuck on the ground. He pushed up off the ground and glared at Kai. "He's MY son!"

"He WAS your son! He is MY son until Sesshomaru-sama forgives you!" Kai hissed. Kai and Inuyasha glared at each other until Amato stepped in between the two. They both instantly stopped and looked up at Amato who was glaring between the two.

"You two are acting like children! Stop this non-nonsensical banter right this minute!" Amato shouted. Kai and Inuyasha looked down. Inuyasha's ears even drooped. "Both of you are my father in a sense! Inuyasha, you are my blood father. Kai, you are my father figure! Now shut the fuck up and let's get a move on!"

"You truly are a blend of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha..." Kai mumbled lowly.

They had settle more in the spot they had stopped at. Amato walked over to Kai and squatted in front of him. He had yet to move from his place sitting against the boulders. "Father..." Amato mumbled. Kai looked at him.

"Yes, Amato?"

"What is the real reason you stopped?" Amato asked with a frown. Kai smiled slightly.

"I am in-"

"Kai..." Both Amato and Kai looked up to see Inuyasha standing over them with two bowls in his hand and Shippo on his shoulder with a bowl. "Here..." He handed a bowl to Kai and Amato. They both looked into the bowls. Kai looked suspicious.

"I'm not going to wake up dead, am I?" Kai asked warily.

"No..." Inuyasha mumbled.

"What are these long stringy things?" Amato asked, using the chop sticks to pick up the noodles in the bowl.

"Those are noodles." Inuyasha said. Kai looked at Amato and then at the bowl curiously.

"New-deals?" Kai asked.

"What are new-dells?" Amato asked. Kai. Kai shrugged. Amato looked at Inuyasha. "What are new-dells?"

"Just try it. You'll like it!" Inuyasha said. He sat down and took the bowl from Shippo and the small fox demon jumped off his shoulder to run over to Kagome and the others. "I made sure to cook you guys' meat less so there is still some blood in it."

"This is meat?" Kai asked confusedly. "What animal is this?"

"It's boar meat."

"What is this dish called, Inuyasha?" Amato asked as he slurped up the noodles.

"Its called Ramen. But instead of the chicken they're eating, I went out to get you guys something a little more bloody and juicy." Inuyasha grinned. Kai looked impressed.

"Really? I thought you hated me."

"I do hate you because you are my rival." Inuyasha said with a smirk. "But that doesn't mean I can't be civil with you, now does it?"

"I guess not." Kai said with a small laugh. He too slurped up the noodles.

"So," Amato started, looking at Kai. "What was the real reason you stopped?"

"I am going through heat." Kai said after sometime. Amato's eyes widened.

"But-!"

"Wait, what did you do when you went to heat when you were near Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked with narrowed eyes.

"He allowed me to mount him." Kai said.

"YOU BASTARD!" Inuyasha roared, his eyes bleeding red. He jumped at Kai.

"Inuyasha!" Amato shouted. That true the attention of the humans.

"What are you doing Inuyasha?" Kagome cried.

"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY BROTHER LIKE THAT!" Inuyasha roared.

"Inuyasha get a grip on yourself!" Amato shouted. He grabbed the back of Inuyasha's fire rat robe and tried yank him off Kai. Kai had managed to grab both of Inuyasha's wrists to keep him from clawing at his face and he was currently trying to keep Inuyasha from biting him.

"Si-" Miroku covered Kagome's mouth.

"Don't interfere!" Miroku glared at her.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"Inuyasha!" Amato shouted. "Get off of him!" Inuyasha managed to wrench one of his hands free from Kai and he smacked Amato away. The younger inu flew into a spiky tree and gasped. The smell of blood instantly made Inuyasha freeze. This gave Kai the chance to throw Inuyasha off him. His eyes widened as he spotted Amato. The younger inu was stuck to a tree because of the three spikes sticking through him. One through his stomach, one through his right leg and another through his side. That was the only spikes that could be seen through him and he didn't want to think about the ones he couldn't see. He jumped up quickly and ran over to Amato.

"Inuyasha, you idiot!" Kai cried. "What have you done!" Kai pulled the smaller inu down. A small river-let of blood spilled from Amato's lips. Kai looked at his back to see that there were spikes that pierced him but weren't deep wounds. "I should kill you!" Kai hissed as he glared at Inuyasha. Kai walked past the shocked inu and to the water he had been sitting next to. He placed Amato in the water. He locked eyes with the smaller and he frowned.

"Try to heal yourself, Amato. I will help you..." Kai whispered. Kai looked back and glared at Inuyasha again. He turned back to look at Amato. The rain drop on Amato's forehead began to glow and his wounds slowly began to heal.

"He uses water to heal?" Miroku and Inuyasha asked at the same time.

"If you were around him when he was younger you would have known this already. In fact, if you had never left, none of this would have ever happened!" Kai growled.

"I said I was sorry!"

"You're not sorry!" Kai snapped. "Stop saying that when you know you don't mean it!"

"I do mean it!"

"No you don't!" Kai hissed.

"Enough!" Was Amato weak cry. Kai and Inuyasha looked at him. "Can you...two please stop it...please just stop..."

"Amato..."

"I'm tired...of fighting...I'm so sick of it...I'm tired of the yelling, the arguing, the everything...just stop...I just want to...find my mom...and go home..." Kai sighed. He pulled Amato up from the water since the younger was done healing himself. He held the younger bridal style and looked down at him.

"I apologize, Amato..." Kai mumbled. Amato stayed silent. He had buried his face in the crook of the older's neck. Kai looked at Inuyasha.

A few minutes had past since that incident. Amato was curled against Kai as he slept somewhat peacefully. Kai was sitting against the boulders and Inuyasha was sitting across from him. "They have been through a lot." Kai whispered. Inuyasha looked down at the ground.

"It's all my fault..."

"Indeed it is." Kai mumbled. Inuyasha looked up at him and glared. Kai glared back. "I won't lie and say it wasn't. You and I both know this is all your fault."

"It's not my fault the castle burnt down!" Inuyasha growled. Kai narrowed his eyes.

"And how, pray tell, did you know that the castle burnt down?"

"Amato told me!" Inuyasha growled. Kai growled back.

"Stop it, you two..." Amato mumbled sleepily. Kai looked down at Amato and then looked back at Inuyasha.

"Tell me about your coupling with my brother." Inuyasha said stiffly.

"You want details?" Kai teased.

"Do you have a child with him?" Inuyasha asked with a frown.

"No. Amato is his only child. Sesshomaru is not very fertile, as you can see." Kai said with a nod. Inuyasha twitched. "But as an extra precaution, I made the healers make a potion that wouldn't allow me to impregnate him."

"Kai?" Sesshomaru asked as he pushed open the door to his and his appointed mate's bedroom. The older dog demon was laying on the bed flushed and panting. Sesshomaru gasped as a familiar sweet smell assaulted his nose. He walked into the room and closed the door behind. "Why didn't you tell me you were in heat?" Sesshomaru was met with a low growl. It was like a warning growl. "Kai..." Sesshomaru walked over to the bed and stood next to it. Kai had his eyes shut tight and his hair was spread across the pillows in a sort of dark halo. Kai opened his eyes and stared at Sesshomaru pleadingly.

"Leave..." His raspy voice said. "Can't...control...don't...hurt...you..." Kai panted. Sesshomaru frowned.

"You're in pain." He stated more than said. He placed a hand on Kai's forehead and the older dog demon growled low in his throat. "I want to help you." Sesshomaru climbed on to the bed and straddled Kai's legs. He stared down at Kai. The older demon seemed to be struggling with himself. "Kai..." Sesshomaru sat up a bit to yank the cover off of Kai. He sat back down and frowned. He grinded himself against the older. Sesshomaru gasped lightly while Kai growled loudly. He gripped Sesshomaru's hips tightly. He switched their positions and growled down at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru smiled up at the older.

"I...can't...no..." Kai's voice shook. "Hurt...you...No..."

"You won't hurt me, Kai. Just do it..." Sesshomaru mumbled. He wrapped his arms around Kai's neck.

"But...Yasha..." Kai panted. Sesshomaru's expression darkened.

"Don't worry about him!" Sesshomaru hissed. "Just give into your instincts!" With that said, Kai roughly pressed his lips to Sesshomaru's.

"Stop!" Inuyasha shouted, covering his ears. "I don't want to hear anymore!" Kai smirked.

"Kai! O-Oh...god..." Sesshomaru cried. Their position had changed. Kai was on his knees with Sesshomaru's legs flung over his shoulders as he pounded into the smaller. "H-Harder!" Sesshomaru moaned. He was met with a growl and his plead answered. After only a few more thrusts, Sesshomaru's body froze and he let out a loud cry as he came. Kai growled as the smaller became tight around his member. He let out a loud feral growl as his body too froze after a couple more thrusts. Sesshomaru gasped. He had thrown his arm over his face and now felt the older dog demon knotting inside him. Sesshomaru winced. "K-Kai..." Kai was panting heavily. Sesshomaru gripped the bed sheets tightly as he felt the older grow even more inside of him. Kai dropped the younger's legs from his shoulders and he stared down at him. He leaned over Sesshomaru as the smaller began to whimper. He kissed and licked at the smaller's neck and cheek.

"Sesshomaru..." Kai growled lowly.

Inuyasha was shaking in anger as he stared at Kai. "You used him!" Inuyasha hissed. Kai narrowed his eyes at him.

"I did no such thing!"

"Yes you did!"

"You two were getting along just fine a few minutes ago..." Amato mumbled. "Why don't you both just shut up and stop talking to each other. I'm trying to go to sleep..."
