A/N - Hey guys! Hehehe...sorry for the long (super duper long) update...

Excuses?

School? Yeah school. But no excuses!

I guess I also partly took a break (hiatus) because I wasn't in the mood to write...

But Onwards with the story! I used to have big plans plans for this story...

I hope it remains the same :)

Alright chapter..12?

Inuyasha woke up serenely and peacefully, with not a care in the world.

Of course, that didn't last very long when he noticed his unfamiliar surroundings.

Ah. Right. He was in Sesshomaru's lair.

Well, mansion.

Thinking back on his nap, Inuyasha discovers that this is one of the first times that he wakes up without screaming, or being in total panic mode. He is always on high alert, and never seems to be distracted. But now? He feels like he could wake up like this every morning, with a sleepy smile on his face.

The oh-so comfortable bed, lined with velvet sheets and pillows made of clouds, the softness of his skin from his bath the previous night, the emptiness in his stomach...oh wait, he didn't eat supper. Realizing that his nap became a full-on sleep, he got up to tame his growling stomach.

Inuyasha rubbed his eyes and went to the bathroom to go check up on his appearance and stubborn hair. But instead of finding tangles and knots, he found a teenage girl sleeping on the floor.

He might have screamed. Yup, he definitely screamed.

This woke up the uninvited guest.

"Ugh...oh Inuyasha!" She hugged him gently.

"Ughh...do I know you?"

"Hmm, let's see. I am what you call the voice in your head.."

"Tessaiga?!"

"Yep! Surprise?"

"Uughh Sesshomaru's going to kill me! Are you trespassing? I don't think you're allowed to be here. Why are you here?"

"Oh, I didn't come alone. But to answer your question, I strictly came for business."

"I see...could you maybe elaborate?"

"Not re-"

"Inuyasha are you okay? I heard you screaming!"

It was a different voice this time. Sesshomaru.

"Yeah I am okay..but there's a..guest in the bathroom.."

For a moment no one said a word.

Sesshomaru just stared at the intruder and painfully groaned into his hands.

"Not another one. Please no."

"I know r- wait, what do you mean 'another one'?"

"Tensaiga!" Another teenage girl came running from behind Sesshomaru.

The two guests hugged each other before turning towards the two Inu brothers.

"So, shall we begin phase one, dear sister?"

"Of course, Master Taisho would have done the same if he were here."

"Yeah, you're right."

They were plotting something. Inuyasha just knew it.

They had evil smirks on their faces that said it all.

Inuyasha turned towards Sesshomaru expecting him to do something, but just found a paler than usual daiyoukai. He looked a little too pale. Almost...sick?

"What's going on here?"

Tessaiga just grined even wider.

"Ask your brother, I think he knows."

At this, Sesshomaru's face burst into flames. Well, there went the paleness.

"Sesshomaru? What are they talking about?"

"Something that we shall discuss some other time. They can stay here, I'll permit it. But for now, you must be famished. Let's go eat breakfast."

Inuyasha just shrugged nonchalantly. He was hungry.

~ Time-skip ~

After breakfast Sesshomaru went to discuss with Inuyasha about his residence dillemas. Well, he hoped there wouldn't be any dillemas.

He had his doubts.

Yet, he knocked on Inuyasha's door, knowing fully well of the possible consequences of talking about this sensitive subject with his brother.

"Inuyasha? Can I come in?"

"Yeah sure."

The eldest opened the door and waltzed in nervously. Well, it was now or never.

"Inuyasha I have yet to talk about your residential problems. I-"

"What problems? What happened?" The young Inu shot up from the bed he was sitting on.

"Please forgive me, I meant not to alarm you. I was just wondering if you would like your belongings from your apartment brought here...But don't take it the wrong way, I do not want to pressure you in any way, please take your time, it was just a suggestion, I-"

"Alright."

"Alright? So you'll stay?"

Inuyasha could see the hope and desperation in his brother's eyes. He felt some kind of pity for the guy, one could even call it sympathy. Inuyasha's thoughts wavered. Did he really feel sympathy for his heartless bastard of a brother?

But more importantly do you feel that he could be your brother?

You're still here, Tessaiga?

You know it, just because I now have a physical body doesn't mean I can't hear your thoughts...

Sure, but we're really not going to talk about all this emotional shit with being brothers and blah blah blah. I don't know if he could ever be a brother, much less mine. For now, he's an aquantaince.

Thank me later at the wedding reception, but hug hi my to reassure him.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! ARE YOU CRAZY!?

Ah ah ah, Inuyasha...This is no time for your emotional shit as you put it. Now do it! You know that wasn't pity you felt earlier, you're not that cold blooded.

Fine. I'll try.

And so, Inuyasha surprised both Sesshomaru and himself by hugging his older brother.

"Of course I'll stay Aniki."

A/N - ahhhhhh it's done. It's done. Another day another thought about updating but it's finally done. :3 I hope you guys enjoyed it, and please excuse the lack of character dialogue that should be underneath the end A/N. Well, not today. Also, if you're a fan of BMC and/or Heathers, than please check out my new fanfic that I just published less than an hour ago.
