Author's note: Twin Flames

Embers of night flare up afresh

when you ignite the morning in my arms

and kindle the familiar hearth of love

Year after year we have warmed our lives

around the mystery of mutual fire

that heats our domain of risk and rapture

Whenever scorched however scarred

we hearten heal reconflagrate

Twin flames ever in blissful blaze

Chapter 11

Two things had been brought to his attention.

He didn't like Kikyo as much as he thought he would.

And he was currently stuck in detention for a something he did not do.

Did they really think he was crazy enough to molest a fifth grader?

Why wasn't Miroku ever blamed for the things he committed?

Inuyasha sighed, slouching in his seat with a tired frown.

His time would be up in another hour but Sesshomaru had already informed he would come and get him, Inuyasha not feeling any better about the situation.

He knew Sesshomaru was going to lecture him or fuck him till he couldn't walk since he had been accused of touching a female, but either way he wasn't in the mood. He wanted to sleep or either vomit. He felt very much under the weather and that only worsened his crappy day so far.

He looked up when the classroom door opened, sighing when he saw Sesshomaru walk in, his features stoic.

Him and the teacher went out of the class, Sesshomaru sending him a quick glare over his shoulder. Inuyasha sighed, letting his head fall back as he thought of how he should end his life.

Should he hang himself or slit his wrists?

Which was less painful?

Their talk was quick, Inuyasha sighing as Sesshomaru signaled for him to follow with a tilt of his head, Inuyasha getting up with a frown as he was led to his doom.

A shiver ran down his spine as sharp eyes locked on him.

Inutaisho sighed as he walked into his home, his body heavy with fatigue.

He was home earlier than he had expected, his case meeting canceled due to his missing client.

He grit his teeth.

How did his client expect to not be accused of this murder if he ran away?

He put his suitcase near the counter, looking to the clock. It was pushing two in the morning.

He frowned, breathing in deeply to calm his nerves.

That's when the potent scent wafted into his nose.

A shiver ran down his spine, the mixed scents along with it confusing him.

His steps were slow but determined, his mind already knowing whose scents mixed so deeply with the potent scent, stopping in front of Inuyasha's room.

He opened the door.

Two bodies laid on his bed, their faces highlighted as light flooded into the room, a pair of golden eyes opening.

He didn't know what to say, not with the arm that protectively wrapped around the smaller body who slept peacefully. The potent smell came from Inuyasha.

Inutaisho looked to Sesshomaru, his anger rising slowly though he hid it. Sesshomaru got up, using his body to hide Inuyasha from his eyes.

"Dad."

Inutaisho and Sesshomaru sat out in the sun house, the night leaving it dark and mysterious, no lights turned on. They could see just fine.

A cigarette was held loosely between Inutaisho's fingers, his eyes locked on his eldest son who sat silently. His back was straight but his his eyes were averted to the cigarette in his hand, not once meeting his.

"You know," Inutaisho whispered, Sesshomaru finally meeting his eyes.

"Your mother... her hopes for you had been set so high," he claimed with a distance voice, thinking back to his previous wife. She had always held him so high, both of them. Such a demanding bitch…

"She left when word had spread I had fucked a human woman and had got her pregnant."

Sesshomaru had averted his eyes again with the mention of the mother who had left all those years ago, seemingly uncomfortable.

"Tell me Sesshomaru," Inutaisho said as he straightened in his seat, Sesshomaru looking back to him.

"Should I let you repeat my mistake or kill the pup Inuyasha is about to sire?"

Sesshomaru's tensed up at the mention of killing his pup, his eyes locking with his, daring him to try.

"I am repeating no one's mistake," he claimed stoically, Inutaisho snorting, taking a drag from his cigarette.

"Your wedding with Kagura was in a week Sesshomaru. Did you expect this outcome just so you can leave the kid with the pup?"

Sesshomaru flinched, a growl building up in his throat.

"I never wanted Kagu-"

"I very much see that!" Inutaisho growled, Sesshomaru stiffening.

Inutaisho sighed, sitting back in his seat, blowing smoke into the air.

"What are you going to do?" Sesshomaru asked quietly, Inutaisho sighing as he closed his eyes.

He remembered asking his father the same choice.

What did he tell him?

"Follow your youkai."

Inuyasha woke up when he felt a large weight rest on him, looking up to see Sesshomaru, looking to the door when he heard the front door slam close.

"What happened?" he asked before looking back to his brother, taking in a sharp breath when he touched a hand to his stomach, feeling it tighten to a point that caused him pain.

Sesshomaru pulled his hand away, sighing before kissing his forehead.

"Nothing go back to sleep," he whispered, Inuyasha frowning as he laid down next to him.

"Was that dad?" he asked, Sesshomaru grunting, putting a hand over his eyes, Inuyasha snorting before removing it, turning onto his side so he faced him.

Sesshomaru opened his eyes, Inuyasha giving him an expectant look.

Though he put up an uncaring facade he was scared inside. He knew he had came into the room when he felt the light on his face. Inside he shook, so frightened of what he had thought when he saw both of his sons in the same bed. Did they have to leave now or were they going to be separated?

"He canceled the wedding," Sesshomaru finally claimed, Inuyasha sitting up with a gasp.

"What why?!" he asked, Sesshomaru frowning.

"I thought you would be happy," he said before sitting up himself, Inuyasha's cheeks heating.

He was but…

"Why did he cancel it?" Inuyasha asked, Sesshomaru smirking.

"He wasn't kidding when he said you would be slow to notice," he chuckled, touching a hand to his stomach, creating the same feeling from earlier.

"Our pup," he whispered, Inuyasha's eyes widening.

Their pup? How…

He had tried to hide the scent of his pregnancy, no one was supposed to know…

Inuyasha's eyes misted with tears, his body shaking as Sesshomaru pulled him into an embrace, his face against his chest, muffling his sobs.

The tears that fell were from relief more than from the fear that someone knew. He had expected to run away in shame after the wedding and raise it without the father due to the fates he was shown, but that wasn't the case anymore. He knew. So did his father.

He wasn't sure what to do anymore, wrapping his arms around his brother and crying harder since that was all he felt he could do.

"Inuyasha," Sesshomaru whispered, pushing him away and onto the bed softly, Inuyasha covering his eyes as he tried to control his sobbing gasps.

He had knew a week ago, when he felt the liquid between his thighs. No one knew though as he cleaned it off with shaking hands in the school bathroom. No one was ever supposed to know.

His tears were endless as Sesshomaru kissed his hands then his lips, his hands grabbing his wrists, prying away the protection he had created.

Inuyasha was bare now, his cheeks and temples wet with tears, his eyes closed tight as he managed to control his sobbing, his bottom lip trembling.

"Inuyasha," Sesshomaru whispered again, his lips pressing against his forehead.

"Stop crying," he whispered, Inuyasha taking in a gasping breath before opening his eyes.

"I-I'm sorry," Inuyasha gasped shakily, Sesshomaru giving him a small smile.

His lips touched his, Inuyasha closing his eyes again.

No one…

Sesshomaru looked down to his little brother. His youkai yearned for him, wanted to protect him, and love him. He no longer wanted to sneak around. And right then they no longer had too. He bit off his claws.

Inuyasha gasped when a hand slid between his cheeks and a finger pressed against his anus, putting a hand to Sesshomaru's chest as he shook his head.

"It's okay," Sesshomaru comforted, Inuyasha looking up to him, searching his eyes.

"I-" but he couldn't find the words he wanted to say, Sesshomaru pulling his hand away when Inuyasha turned onto his side, his body shaking.

Sesshomaru forced him back onto his back, smashing his lips against his.

Inuyasha gasped into the kiss, opening his mouth when a tongue slid across his lip.

Neither had brushed their teeth but neither cared, Inuyasha wrapping his arms around Sesshomaru's neck.

Their tongues slid against each other, tangled and battled, fingers once again pressing against a twitching hole.

Inuyasha pulled away with a whimper when a finger pushed into him, his eyes closing tight as his hands fisted in Sesshomaru's hair.

"Shh," Sesshomaru whispered into his ear as he pumped the finger in and out slowly, pulling it away when his body began to relax.

"I'm sorry I can't wait," Sesshomaru whispered into his ear before Inuyasha cried out in pain as he sank into him slowly, his hands tightening in his hair.

"Sessh-!" he gasped, closing his eyes before biting his lip as they finally touched together.

Sesshomaru panted as he constricted around him, his hands placed next his little brothers head as he forced himself to stay still and let him adjust.

He knew taking him this way was going to hurt him a lot, but his youkai couldn't wait to take him this way any longer than he could. This was the first time he was able to take him not in secret. His father knew and soon so would their mother.

Inuyasha's hands loosened in his hair, a signal the pain was not as severe. His hands slipped from his hair and onto the bed, his chest heaving as he panted, raising his knees.

"Fucken asshole," Inuyasha panted, Sesshomaru smirking before kissing him.

He pulled out slowly, Inuyasha whimpering softly.

He thrusted back in with a quick surge of his hips, claws digging into his sides as Inuyasha arched his chest, a tear falling down his temple.

No…

Glass shattered against a wall, Kikyo falling to her knees as she covered her head against the shards that flew over her.

"No!" the shadow screamed, Kikyo flinching away.

"You useless whore!" the shadow screamed, Kikyo gasping when her hair was grabbed, her body lifted from the floor.

She grit her teeth as her chest was compressed, a white orb presented in front of her.

"You no longer deserve this," the shadow hissed, its features highlighted in the dim light from a cars passing lights.

Red eyes gleamed, the white orb clenched in clawed hands.

Kikyo fell to the ground when her hair was released, lifeless.
