Chapter 14: Dad's approval
They broke the kiss right on time when the door opened. It was their dad.
"What's …going on?" He inquired.
"Uh, nisan was just helping me take my yukata off." Inuyasha answered.
"Oh. Tell me, were you always so intimately close before this?"
"That's–" Inuyasha tried to capture another excuse but was cut off by his brother.
"Forget it, Inuyasha. He's already figured it out." Sesshomaru frowned.
"Eh?! How ?!" The hanyo spun his head around back and forth stunned. Their intelligence is on another level, Inuyasha.
"You've guessed it haven't you?" The youkai confirmed indifferently. InuTaisho didn't give an immediate reply. "If you understand, then I won't hold back anymore." He wrapped his arm on the younger's waist and pulled him towards his body. "Father, I've decided that Inuyasha will be my mate." InuTaisho and Inuyasha blinked their eyes open once. Except the next thing they all realized was a huge smack across Sesshomaru's face making him stumble a few steps back.
"Don't be so vulgar!" Their father exclaimed.
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha cried intending to go to him and caress his red cheek but was held back by a tight grip on the wrist by InuTaisho. "Dad!"
"Inuyasha cut this out! Are you really going along with him? Clear your head and think for a minute if this is what you really want!" Inu felt shaken and didn't exactly have a response for him at the moment.
"Don't touch him." The elder ordered standing straight and fierce as ever. "You act like it's unheard of. What's the point in acting like humans all of a sudden?"
"What are you talking about ?" The teen asked utterly confused now.
"Silence! Are you trying to defy me? Get out. Get out and cool your head while you're at it." InuTaisho ordered with the tone of a king. "What good would come from devouring your own brother?" The silverette was already cool however didn't have a choice but to follow orders and pass them to exit the door .
"Ni…San." Inuyasha called his name in a rather low pitch afraid that he might leave forever, but the elder didn't even look back.
"It's fine, come with me." InuTaisho dragged him to the living room where they sat formally face to face with each other. The half demon didn't lift his eyes even once to look directly at his dad feeling somewhat ashamed.
"What's going on?" Izayoi asked concerned of the seriousness that hung in the air, peeking from the door.
"I need to have a long talk with Inuyasha. Please leave us father and son alone."
"H-hai…please be gentle dear." She requested and slid the door close. InuTaisho sighed frustrated. He was proud of Sesshomaru but more than that he cared and treated Inuyasha more like his son. I guess it's no one's fault that Sesshomaru is so hard to communicate with.
"Listen Inuyasha –"
"Why'd you have to hit him like that?!" The teen yelled his own concern first.
"That's not important! Why are you listening to him and going through this?! You should've rejected him straight out if he came on to you!... Did this happen when you were living with him?" He questioned, still half and half treating him like the doted son he is, I.e leniently.
"You're wrong! He didn't come on to me! I'm the one who kissed him first! {10 year old}. And that's why he moved away…"
"Do you have any idea what you're saying?"
"I do! So Stop treating me like a kid!" Inuyasha then remembered something from before. "Wait, tell me what did Sesshomaru-ni mean when he said incest relations were common?"
InuTaisho didn't feel like answering the slightest so averted his eyes with a grimace. "…in our demon tribe, it's not too big of a deal. Back in the day many demons of the same kin would get together to pass down their dominant genes.."
"Then why did you make such a big deal?!" Inu asked pissed off now. "So it really is okay…" He said to himself with a huge relieved smile.
"No it isn't!" InuTaisho scowled. "You're different from us! You can still lead a normal life with out having anything to do with this (demon tribe). Sesshomaru is enough to carry out the name as king hence I was hoping you would find your own happiness."
"I am happy! Why won't you realize that? And I'll be even more happy if I can stay with all of you…" Inu trailed off earnestly speaking but then abruptly stood up. "But if you're not going to approve, then we're running away." He declared.
'Do you normally tell before you run away?' the father thought with slight humor. "How do you know he's not just passing time with you?" He had a point. The hanyo stood and thought insecurely for a moment.
"No… I know he's not. Because, he's just not that type of person," the teen looked eye to eye with his dad and replied with confidence. "Er…or demon in that case…" InuTaisho looked at him astounded for a second but then gave out a heavy sigh in defeat.
"I tried. You should realize there's no turning back now."
Inu's face lit up. "That means you're okay with this?!"
The demon king was now sitting in a more relaxed position and had his eyes closed with his face resting on his fist. He cracked one of his eyes and looked at the younger slyly. "Just be grateful it's him or else honestly did you think I'd be giving you up to another man?" A quick blush surfaced on the teen's face but didn't last long when he pounced his father with an affectionate hug.
"I hope your mom will understand…"
All they did now was wait for the elder to return who apparently never did. Inuyasha began getting restlessly anxious.
"You don't think he ran away all on his own, do you?!"
"Oh please, and leave his mate all alone, 1000 kilometers away?" InuTaisho rolled his eyes. "More than his lover, you're his mate. His other half, possession and treasure. He'll protect you unconditionally." The teen felt like he was blushing but was perhaps just moved by the warm feeling in his body upon those words. "So it's very unlikely that he'll just disappear without you."
"I'll go look for him then! It's getting dark." Inu volunteered and marched for the front door, swinging the door open to find a mysterious figure looming there. The dark silhouette leaned in landing on the younger's shoulders. "Sesshomaru-ni!" The hanyo gawked upon recognizing who was on his shoulders. The elder managed to straighten himself up and at the same time the teen smelled the strong scent of blood. That's when he noticed some blood on his face and clothes.
"What happened to you?!" The younger inquired aggressively as he raised his arms to hold the elder's face with both his hands.
"Nothing. These are mere wounds. I've already been aided to some extent by an amateur."
"I almost believe him." InuTaisho also entered the entrance hallway leaning with the wooden panel. Sesshomaru instantly glared upon seeing his face.
"More importantly," the elder began, taking hold of inuyasha's arm. "What did he say to you?"
'He? As in dad?' The hanyo was a little surprised at how callously the other was addressing their father.
"Hey, no need to hold grudges, I was only being the reasonable adult." InuTaisho prodded.
"We don't need your concern." The youkai snarled.
"Hey! Hold on! Dad already gave his recognition so let's just get you cleaned up." Inuyasha butted in between not confident what turmoil might take place next. Sesshomaru looked down at him with a cold stare.
"I'm not a child or thing."
"Yes, yes, I know." The younger faltered afraid he stepped on a hot button and also admitted once again how hard it was to deal with him.
They headed upstairs.
"Should I help?" Inu asked outside the bathroom door.
"Nope." His elder brother answered nonchalantly. He then heard the bath water being turned on.
"Are you thinking of taking a bath? Can I take one with you? I'll scrub your back~" the hanyo tried to get in again to avoid feeling left out.
There was an endless pause. "Not today." That made the teen pout, slumping his ears.
'Is he hiding his wounds or just not up to that sort of thing?'
'What is he thinking? No the problem is he's not thinking at all?' Sesshomaru's thoughts argued inside his head while he was in the warm bath. 'If I had said yes then he'd be crying later. There's no way I would be able to hold back.' He looked down at the few deep cuts he received earlier which had already mostly healed thanks to the special shrubs that kid gave him.
He opened the door to his room and was flattered to find a certain hanyo laying upside down right in the center of his bed, playing with his phone.
"… … What are you doing here?"
"Oh, dad said since we're lov-lovers it's fine if I sleep in this room." He answered without taking his eyes off the mobile.
"Whose room is this exactly? Father's or mine?" The elder reclassified.
"… Your's…"
"So?"
"So…?" The hanyo looked at him bewildered. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes to a certain angle causing him to furrow his eyebrows. He quietly waltz close to the teen and without warning shoved his hand inside all the way up to his butt via the opening of the yukata.
"Eek!" Inu shrieked jumping at the cold hand, which turned his body halfway towards the elder with a crimson face. "You– you…ruined my game! And, don't touch there…" the silverette didn't care one bit, now that he spotted another opening at Inuyasha's neck, he clutched that area of clothing and stripped it off leaving the younger gawking again. "Stop that! Don't just act on your own–"
"This is what I'll assume when you come so willingly into my room." The pure blood annunciated pulling the last bit of clothing (underwear) off the captivating body he desired to see so much. Sesshomaru took the liberty and privilege to contemplate every inch of it with his eyes first while the back of his hand grazed the skin on the side of his stomach slowly down to the younger's navel.
"Nnh...but–"
"But?" He echoed in a tone full of amusement now as he arced down to kiss the depression in the middle of his brother's abdomen. Inu was getting swept away, his heart and nerves screaming with every kiss the elder planted…
"Just what do you think you're doing?!" Inuyasha learned for a brief moment how to grab onto his senses and jabbed his foot on the other's chest, constituting as a road block. Sesshomaru simply removed his foot and began licking the toes as if they were something edible. The teen curled his toes automatically and silently moaned being captured once again. The youkai's tongue danced on the palm of Inuyasha's foot now, that really drove him crazy. He fell back on the soft bed and began wriggling his leg trying desperately to evade this torture while he couldn't decide to laugh from the tickling or moan from the sensitivity.
Sesshomaru had the widest of smirks he ever had and was having the moment of his life, just earning so much pleasure from this that he was very much looking forward to the main event.
To be Continued...
I just really impatiently wanted to post this chapter so had to cut it off there but
Don't fret, hopefully this time there will be no interruptions! Well…at least I think…I'll go over to their room now and hammer the door with nails so no one can go in or out :D! I bet that's what all you guys want too right? XD
