A/N: Oh boy! Happy New Years Eve everyone! This is the last chapter of the original story I wrote! I have been writing more however! I am four chapters into the so called epilogue, that is becoming more of a part two! lol. So there will be that to come! I hope you guys enjoy!
The castle stood like an ominous mountain once they were on the ground in front of it. It was carved white stone and shined like a full moon, especially with the morning sun spilling onto it. Inuyasha couldn't help the awed but terrified feeling that it brought him.
Ryuusuke was caught up in the beauty of the palace as well. It was much more impressive in it's design than the dragon castle back in the North. "It's huge."
Sesshomaru internally smiled. He was glad to see Ryuusuke and Inuyasha in awe of their new home. "It was built long ago by our father and grandfather. They wanted a place that was unquestionably enchanting in its size and status."
Inuyasha just scoffed before Ryuusuke answered, "they succeeded."
The alpha had them waiting outside for The Lady of the West to greet them. He was unsure how his mother would act in this meeting, but as the main gates opened he was angrier than he had expected to be. Hikaru was walking up to him, a worried look on his face. "My lord." He began. Sesshomaru merely gave him his signature glare before the boy gulped and started speaking again. "The lady has sent me to regretfully inform you that she cannot come greet you as planned."
Ryuusuke felt the rage flood his body from their alpha before watching Inuyasha's ear drop.
Sesshomaru did not move a muscle, however. Exploding was not the way he handled these sort of issues. Not today at least. He turned abruptly to his mates and nodded, "Another time then. Let us go inside."
Hikaru watched perplexed. He was sure Sesshomaru was going to bust a gasket when he had announced the news. Especially after he cut the hands off of those two servants. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. "Shall I show you to your new rooms, my lords?"
"Thank you." Ryuusuke replied blankly as they all started to follow Hikaru into the palace. The dragon boy was far off in thought. He knew perfectly well why Lady Hisoka hadn't shown up, but he didn't understand why Sesshomaru was acting so calm about it. Inside he was raging up a storm, but outwardly he showed nothing. What the hell was going through his alpha's head? Couldn't he see Inuyasha's confidence falling by the second? Ryuusuke was slipping his hand into Inuyasha's before he could think twice about it.
The beta gave Ryuusuke's hand a squeeze, trying to tell him he was alright. He was strong, this wasn't going to change that. It was no surprise to him that Sesshomaru's mother bailed. It was even less surprising that their alpha did nothing. He had Ryuusuke on his side and Sesshomaru was being kind, giving him a room and everything. It was more than he had had in most of his life. It was all going to be fine. It didn't matter that the weight on his chest felt like it was getting heavier.
"This room," Hikaru pointed to the door on the right of Sesshomaru's main wing. One room away from the alpha's room at the end of the hall. "Is yours, Lord Inuyasha."
The title just stung. The beta wondered how much Sesshomaru had paid this blue and green haired brat to say it. "Thanks." He mumbled and opened the door. He was sure it was just some small bed and a dresser, maybe a chair. As the door pulled back his eyes went wide. The room was painted a soft green, like fresh spring leaves, and there was a plush brown fur on the floor. The rooms curtains were a sheer white, letting in a lot of light. The bed was large, and easily suitable for two or three people. He had a dark wooden dresser that match the bed frame. There was a large standing mirror in the far corner beside the desk and chair. There was also a doorway that led to a beautiful balcony overlooking the back gardens. Above the bed were wooden shelves that held a variety of plants, an array of books, and even a wall holder for his sword.
As Inuyasha looked back at Sesshomaru he felt for just a second there was hope. The alpha had clearly put a lot of effort into this, but he couldn't trust it. "Thank you." Inuyasha said, "it's nice."
"I am glad you find it suitable. I want it to be a place you feel comfortable spending time in." The DaiYoukai replied.
Then it all made sense. Of course Sesshomaru arranged his room this nice, so that he would stay in it and out of his and anyone else's hair in the palace. Well, that was fine. There were worse places to be bound to. Inuyasha nodded and looked to Ryuusuke, who was smiling lightly. "I guess we should see yours." Inuyasha said.
Hikaru chimed in, "Oh yes, Lord Ryuusuke, your room is just across the hall."
The omega nodded and they all headed to the door on the left side of the wing. Ryuusuke opened the door and was pleased that his room was similar to Inuyashas. He didn't want a better room than his mate. It was painted a rich purple with a crisp white trim. The windows were draped with similar white curtains to Inuyasha's room. He had the same size bed, dresser, desk, and chair. His mirror wasn't freestanding, however. It was a large rectangle that was attached to the wall above his dresser. The rug on his floor was white and on the shelves above his bed were some water fountains and a few wooden carvings of dragons and InuYoukai. "It's lovely." Ryuusuke smiled and turned to his mates. "Thank you, Sesshomaru. I appreciate the trouble you went to preparing this."
Sesshomaru nodded but felt a bit confused. Why was his omega being so formal? Usually the boy excitedly jumped up and down at things like this. Maybe it was due to Hikaru's presence. "You're most welcome. My room is here at the head of the hall." He gestured. "You both may enter whenever you would like. I will allow you to settle into your rooms before lunch." The Alpha nodded to them before walking to his own room.
Inuyasha and Ryuusuke both looked at Hikaru who suddenly let out a big sigh. "I thought he was going to kill me for sure this time."
"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.
"When Lady Hisoka told me I was going to have to tell him that she wasn't coming, I thought for sure he was going to kill me. He was a madman last night having us get both of these rooms together in just one night. Not to mention Kiri and Shiro." He sighed again, like four tons had just fallen off his shoulders.
"Who are Kiri and Shiro?" Ryuusuke asked and Hikaru was suddenly standing up straight again, hair frizzing out on its own.
"Shit! I-I mean my apologies, my lords! I was not supposed to say that." Hikaru was doomed. The boy had just felt so strangely comfortable around Sesshomaru's new mates. They just seemed like the kind of people you would wanted by your side.
Inuyasha smirked, amused by the boys dramatic mood shifts, "no way. The cat is already finding its way out of the bag, tell us."
Hikaru shook his head, "I really cannot, my lords. I wish I could. I don't know why he doesn't want you to know-shit! I shouldn't have said that either! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"
Ryuusuke grabbed Hikaru's shoulder, stopping his outburst. "Hikaru! Listen to me." The head of the house staff looked up shyly. "We won't tell him anything. Please, we are both new to this place and we need to have an understanding of things. You can understand that, right?"
Inuyasha nodded behind the dragon.
"I. I don't see what the big deal is anyway. He is just protecting you. Kiri and Shiro are two servants here. They said something against Lord Inuyasha and the Lord, he." Hikaru looked around to make sure there were no others nearby. "He cut off one of their hands each. Said the same would happen to anyone who spoke against either of you and that if someone threatened you he would kill them."
Inuyasha's mouth opened in surprise. Sesshomaru really did that? "There's no way. They must've said something about Ryuusuke, not me."
Hikaru shook his head, "oh no, it was about you, Lord Inuyasha. About you being a hanyou, not that I care! I don't care at all! Y-you're a son of Inu no Taisho! You are no doubt strong and worthy!"
"Can it and stop calling me Lord. It's weird." Inuyasha shifted uncomfortably.
"That makes no sense. He cuts off servant's hands but does nothing about his mother or that stupid innkeeper?" Ryuusuke questioned out loud, "none of this adds up."
HIkaru chewed on the edge of his thumb nervous, "I don't know. Lord Sesshomaru has always been a man who makes no sense if you ask me."
"Keh." Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "that's the understatement of the century."
Ryuusuke lightly smacked the betas shoulder, "shut up. There is clearly something we are missing. I intend to get to the bottom of it." The omega headed straight for Sesshomaru's door. "Sessh-" Hikaru wrapped his hand over the dragon's mouth.
"You can't tell him I told you!" Hikaru panicked.
"Told him what?" In the rush no one heard Sesshomaru open his door. The alpha stood perplexed at the scene before him. Inuyasha stood back wide eyed and mouth slightly open. Ryuusuke was being silenced by Hikaru whose eyes were the size of a dinner plate under Sesshomaru's heavy stare.
Hikaru pulled his hand away from Ryuusuke immediately and backed up about ten feet from either of the alpha's mates. "Uh. Um. I-I"
"About Kiri and Shiro." Ryuusuke filled in.
Sesshomaru started to storm towards Hikaru, "I told you not to tell them!"
Inuyasha was blocking the DaiYoukai's path before he could reach the head of house. "We forced it out of him. Don't take this out on him, Sesshomaru, please."
The alpha looked to his beta before standing back. "Very well, but do not let this happen again, Hikaru."
"Yes, my lord!" Hikaru bowed and scurried out of the wing fast as lightning.
Ryuusuke pulled Sesshomaru back to look at them, "why was it a secret in the first place?"
The alpha sighed. He hadn't wanted to upset Inuyasha. He knew the boy would never like someone being harmed on his behalf. "Come inside, there is no point it having this conversation in the hallway."
They nodded and followed Sesshomaru into his room. It was decently larger than theirs. The bed was big enough for five people and it was draped in with silvery white curtains. The walls were white with a red stripe towards the top of the room. There was a sitting area with a fireplace on the opposite side of the room from the bed. Sesshomaru also had a large balcony. He had a desk and dresser same as their rooms. Above the bed was decorated with beautiful fans in various sizes and colors. It was beautiful and opulent without being overdone. Much like Sesshomaru himself. They took seats by the fireplace and Sesshomaru began talking.
"I didn't tell you of the servants because they were nothing." The alpha wanted to downplay the event. Maybe then Inuyasha would feel less guilty. He was already angry enough with his mother's behavior. She had shamed his mates and she would pay for it, when the time was right. His beta shouldn't have to worry about this ridiculous incident with the servants as well.
Ryuusuke sat forward in his chair. "It is not nothing. You punished someone in protection of Inuyasha. That's quite noteworthy." He didn't understand why their alpha wasn't proud to be properly protecting his mates. It was exactly what he was supposed to be doing.
Inuyasha scoffed, "It's nothing because he wishes he didn't have to, right? It's unfortunate that I am here causing this trouble in the first place. You shouldn't even have to deal with shitty innkeepers, gossiping servants, or your mother's opinions of me in the first place."
Sesshomaru's mask faded a little as he brows turned inward ever so slightly. "I said nothing of the sort."
"You don't have to. It's okay, Sesshomaru. I get it. I'll be good and hide out in my room so no one has to deal with me. I appreciate you going through all the trouble you did to make it so nice."
The alpha was on his feet within seconds. "Why do you say this? I made you a room worthy of your position. I left that innkeeper alone due to your defensive nature about humans and my mother will be paying for her disrespect of both of you today."
Ryuusuke looked up to their alpha, a spark in his eye, "you mean, you didn't attack the innkeeper for Inuyasha's sake?"
"Yes. You are always protecting humans." He looked to his beta. "I thought you were unsettled because you didn't want me to kill him. I also didn't think you would want to know I harmed the servants here in your name either."
Inuyasha blinked slowly as he watched the words fall from Sesshomaru's pale lips. Had the alpha really been thinking about what he wanted this whole time? Had he been trying to respect his beliefs? "You. You were thinking of me?"
"Yes, you are my mate. I told my mother and I will tell you." The DaiYoukai couldn't believe this.
Ryuusuke suddenly started laughing. "This whole time we thought you were being an ass and not protecting us properly when really you were going above and beyond."
Inuyasha still hadn't moved. His eyes were locked onto his alpha's lips. He shouldn't believe the words that came from between them. He shouldn't trust this full blooded demon who had tried to kill him more times than he could count. He shouldn't.
Sesshomaru went to speak again when Inuyasha leapt up from his seat. The beta grabbed the front of his kimono roughly before stealing the words that had been forming with a kiss. Inuyasha kissed him fiercely, like a battle was about to begin. The DaiYoukai stood shocked for a moment before he kissed back, wrapping a hand into his beta's hair.
Ryuusuke's laughing had stopped and been replaced with a look of pure surprise. He watched as his mates kissed with a passion that had been building for the weeks of time they had spent traveling to the palace. He stood and smiled as he worked his way into their entanglement, kissing up Sesshomaru's neck and rubbing his hand into Inuyasha's hair as well. Their kiss broke as they looked down at Ryuusuke out of breath.
No words were needed when they looked at each other. Sesshomaru picked Ryuusuke up and threw him over his shoulder as he pushed Inuyasha backwards. The beta was untying Sesshomaru's kimono as he shuffled back. The DaiYoukai watched his hanyou fall onto his bed, vibrant red against white blankets. He tossed Ryuusuke who was now wiggling around on his shoulder off onto the bed so they were side by side and let his kimono fall to the floor, leaving him naked before his beta and omega.
The omega bit his lip as he watched Sesshomaru straddle Inuyasha. They were enchanted with each other then, eyes locked and need apparent. Inuyasha's eyes closed as Sesshomaru invaded his mouth, kissing him deeply. Ryuusuke felt nothing but joy, from his alpha and himself. He had wanted so intensely to see these two heal the damage between them. Of course this didn't fix everything, but it was a big step forward into something wonderful. Ryuusuke moved closer, nuzzling into his mates shoulders.
Inuyasha broke from the kiss and looked down to Ryuusuke whose face was lying against his shoulder. Sesshomaru started pulling open his beta's firerat robe and licking the tan flesh of his mate's chest as Inuyasha was pulled into a heated kiss with Ryuusuke. The beta worked the kimono from the dragon's shoulders while their tongues danced together.
Sesshomaru's hands were tracing every inch of Inuyasha's skin. They were really both here, under him and wanting to be. He let his fingers roam over the clothed flesh of his beta's member. It was hard to keep his demon from taking over in it's pure excitement. He growled lowly as he looked up, watching Ryuusuke being stripped naked while lost in Inuyasha's lips. His claws wrapped into to band of the firerat's pants before pulling them roughly down.
Inuyasha pulled from his kiss with Ryuusuke and looked down to see Sesshomaru's hungry stare. He gulped ever so slightly now that he was bare before him. He felt fingers on his ears then and couldn't help the moan that escaped him instantly.
The omega smirked as Inuyasha shivered from the touch upon his ears. They really did affect him. Ryuusuke licked them as he felt claws from the beta pull ever so sweetly down his spine. He couldn't help grinding against Inuyasha's side and was breathing heavily when he heard the hanyou gasp. He pulled back, making sure he was okay when he saw Sesshomaru's head bobbing evenly between Inuyasha's legs.
"Sessh-Sessh." Inuyasha panted. "Fuck."
Ryuusuke chuckled and whispered right into the beta's ears, "did I forget to mention how amazing he is with his tongue?"
"Fuck yes you did." Inuyasha's back arched as Sesshomaru swallowed him down.
Sesshomaru hummed pleasantly against the heated flesh when he felt fingers lace in his hair. He was determined to make his mates lose themselves completely in him.
"Sessh." Inuyasha moaned loudly, "stop or I'm gonna-"
The DaiYoukai pulled back and smirked and watched Inuyasha attempt to catch his breath. Ryuusuke was smirking too until Sesshomaru moved, pushing the dragon back over and onto his back. His lips captured the omega's and he quickly found Ryuusuke's hips grinding up into his own.
Ryuusuke felt like chains were breaking as he finally let himself feel everything, no longer worried about losing all his sensibility with this complicated man he called alpha. He didn't have to hold it together now. Sesshomaru's lips were hungry as they moved in a rhythm together. He wrapped his arms around the DaiYoukai's neck and felt the wetness that was forming down his thighs.
Inuyasha's breathing had calmed as he watched his mates grind together roughly. For the first time he felt like he belonged there, right next to his alpha and omega. Even if this room felt too fancy or this palace too stark, none of that mattered. He belonged with his mates. He watched them pull apart and laughed lighter than he had in years as he threw his arms around them both.
Ryuusuke laughed too and Sesshomaru actually smiled a fraction of a smile. "I want you." Inuyasha found himself saying before he had the chance to second guess himself.
"Good." Sesshomaru's voice was low and deadly as he leaned closer to Inuyasha, faces just inches apart. "Because I intend to have you all night." He looked back to Ryuusuke, "both of you."
"Please." Ryuusuke's voice was almost a whimper. He needed to be taken. His body was growing hotter by the moment.
Inuyasha smirked and pushed Sesshomaru roughly off their omega. The DaiYoukai was caught off guard and fell back on the mattress. He watched as Inuyasha, smug grin in place crawled over Ryuusuke. "You sure you can handle this?" He asked cockily, as if they were about to spar.
"I can take anything you throw at me." Ryuusuke grinned, equally as confident.
Sesshomaru had to admit the sheer sexiness of his mates in that moment. Inuyasha's hands pushed Ryuusuke's legs up to almost his chest. The omega was more than prepared for this, his entrance glistening.
Inuyasha looked back at alpha, his confidence hesitating for a moment as a blush formed across his cheek. "Well?"
Sesshomaru was up in an instant. His chest flush against Inuyasha's back as he reached down between Ryuusuke's legs. The omega moaned when Sesshomaru ran his fingers along the wet opening of his smaller body.
The dragon whined when he pulled away, bringing his fingers to Inuyasha's entrance. The beta sucked in a deep breath as that part of him was touched for the first time while he was in control of himself. Sesshomaru kissed along Inuyasha's shoulder as he worked a finger inside.
"Relax." The alpha commanded.
Ryuusuke could see the fear trying to work itself onto their betas face. He sat up and kissed along Inuyasha's jaw line. "Breathe, love."
The hanyou opened his eyes, he wasn't even sure when he had closed them. He looked into the loving gaze of Ryuusuke and felt so much of his tension melt away. Sesshomaru's other hand drew soft circles on his hip as the alpha waited. So very patiently for him to be ready. He let out the breath he had been holding and leaned forward, kissing the dragon and pushing himself a bit farther onto Sesshomaru's finger.
Sesshomaru let himself smile, since no one would be seeing it and kissed his beta's back as he worked another finger inside. Inuyasha let out a soft moan and he picked up his movements, scissoring his fingers and preparing his mate. He pushed a third finger in and heard a faint "fuck" fall from the beta's lips.
Oh you have no idea. The alpha thought to himself as he pushed his fingers deeper. He wanted him to be well prepared. He was larger than Ryuusuke and the beta would not do well without proper preparations.
"Please, enough." Inuyasha gasped as he pushed Ryuusuke into the blankets.
The alpha pulled his finger out and let Inuyasha line up with Ryuusuke. Sesshomaru rubbed his cock along his betas crack and growled deep in his throat.
'Mates' his demon hummed happily.
"Are you ready?" Sesshomaru asked with the last shred of patience in him.
"Fuck yes." Ryuusuke moaned loudly.
"Yes." Inuyasha looked back at his alpha and nodded.
That was all the Lord of the West needed to let himself be free. He pushed his way into Inuyasha as the beta filled Ryuusuke at the same time. They all grunted in pleasure as they tried to ground themselves in the electrifying feeling that overwhelmed them.
Inuyasha panted as he tried to process all the pleasure that washed over him. Sesshomaru had done a good job preparing him. Although the DaiYoukai stretched him more than his fingers had the pleasure of the experience far outweighed the pain. Then Ryuusuke, his body was gripping around him in a warm and wet version of heaven. He gripped the omegas hips for sheer support as he shivered with the sensations of his body. He didn't know he could feel this good and when Sesshomaru set the pace of their thrusting he learned another level of pleasure.
Ryuusuke watched as both his mates were lost to ecstasy. They faces melting in the same way he was sure his was. Inuyasha felt so good inside him. He had been so empty since the mating. It was in his blood to be apart of another, a beautiful extension of his mates. He whimpered, his demon begging for more. All he could do was hold onto his knees as they found their way to deeper and faster.
"Mates." Sesshomaru growled as he let his eyes bleed ever so slightly red. Although he remained in control over his demon. He clawed Inuyasha's hips as he built up his pace. His beta felt incredible. He couldn't imagine now why he ever denied that he wanted this. His mates were beautiful, powerful, and so very unique. They were perfect for him and his demon had been right all along. He thrusted harder and both his mates moaned loudly.
"A-again." The beta gasped. "There."
Sesshomaru was all too happy to comply.
The three found each other as they lost themselves. None of them were quite sure where the future would take them, but in that moment it meant nothing. All that mattered was being one. Frantically they raced toward the end.
Ryuusuke scraped his fingers down Inuyasha's chest. "I'm- I'm gonna."
"'Me too." Inuyasha and Sesshomaru replied in unison.
Ryuusuke's moan mixed with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's growl as they exploded into white bliss. However, Inuyasha's growl died down into a whimper he would never admit to.
Sesshomaru felt the knot form deep in his betas body as he breathed heavily. "Careful." He instructed before laying himself and Inuyasha carefully onto their side. Ryuusuke followed them, not ready to feel Inuyasha leaving him.
They laid like that, legs entangled for a while as they knot ran its course. Inuyasha had never felt so at peace in his life.
Sesshomaru had his eyes closed as he rode out the aftershocks from the knotting, simply enjoying the bliss of the moment.
Ryuusuke looked to the heavens that existed somewhere above the ceiling he was looking at and said a special thank you to whoever brought these wonderful mates into his life.
Sesshomaru felt the knot give and gently slide from his beta. Inuyasha winced a little before doing the same and slipping out of Ryuusuke.
"Why ever did I refuse to listen to my demon." It was more of a statement than a question as Sesshomaru rolled onto his back.
Ryuusuke shrugged and rolled onto Inuyasha's chest, watching the beta nuzzle his head into the crook of their alpha's arm. "Because you were hurting."
"Hm." He nodded before snuggling both his mates closer. "I have you to thank for getting me to see that, Ryuusuke."
"Your mom is still going to flip shit though, isn't she?" Inuyasha mumbled.
"My mother is going to learn her place, below the rank of the ruling Lords of the West, the three sons of Inu No Taisho and the heirs to the throne."
"What?" Inuyasha looked up at Sesshomaru in disbelief.
"It is both your proper stations, mates or not." The DaiYoukai said. "We will do your coronations before the public mating ceremony."
"You are something else, Sesshomaru." Ryuusuke was looking up to the alpha as well.
"It is nothing for my brothers and my mates."
Inuyasha and Ryuusuke sat in awe of the man their alpha had become in the handful of weeks that had passed together. He was no longer lost in anger and blinded by misplaced rage. The ice around his heart seemed to be melting. Just as the walls Inuyasha had carefully constructed over the years began to come down and just as the hope Ryuusuke had almost lost was reignited.
They knew it wouldn't always been pretty. They would fight. They would cry. They would laugh. They would struggle. But, they would love.
