After the wedding Inuyasha was quickly spirited away by Akashi, he was bereft to let himself be torn from his brother but with one sharp glance from the elder he followed obediently. The servant led him to a room he had never before seen. The walls and furniture were sparkling gold and every cloth surface was covered by shimmering white silk. The carpets beneath his feet felt soft even through his slippers. The hanyou stilled as he came to the middle of the room and glanced at the multitudes of servants that were filing in to the large room.
"Where have you brought me?" He asked Akashi sitting softly on one of the low poufs.
"This is the royal consorts chamber My Lord. It is the same room your mother would have occupied had your father lived." She explained walking to a set of double doors on the far wall.
The hanyou arched an eyebrow in consideration. These are exceptional chambers, I wonder if Sesshomaru's mother lived here as well. He ran one hand over the white fabric cringing. I will have to change the colors in here. I'll ruin the room in a matter of days otherwise. He stood and padded after his servant.
The main room opened in to a large office, this room was too gold but its fabrics were a beautiful robin's egg blue. This is much more acceptable. The hanyou nodded absently walking around the room and running his fingers along the spines of the book shelves. The eastern wall was covered with windows that looked out to what seemed to be a private garden.
The thick velvet hangings were pulled aside so as to showcase the magnificence of the flowers that seemed to bloom from all corners.
This is amazing. He touched the glass reverently. He realized as he stared out that there were steps just beyond the windows that led out to the pretty space. They must open then. He promised to return to the garden later and turned as he heard Akashi call his name from further in the rooms.
He padded quietly in to the final room of his suite. The large bedroom was decorated once more in gold, in place of the white or blue from the last rooms he was met with deep blue, almost purple. This is the same color as mothers eyes. He noticed in awe.
The room was the largest yet. Housing a sitting area, another desk, the largest bed the hanyou had ever seen and a wall of windows that looked out in to his garden. Smaller more discrete windows allowed him to look out on to the surrounding palace.
"We must hurry my Lord. You husband will not be pleased if you keep him waiting." Akashi explained sweetly. She held in her small hands a blue kimono set it was long to the floor as a woman's and at length Inuyasha realized she held no hakama to accompany it.
"Am I to be dressed as a woman?" He asked sharply glaring at the offending garment.
"It is tradition my Lord, even male consorts must wear this style of kimono. So it has been done for centuries so it shall be done on this night." The woman stepped forward and bade a few male attendants, who were awaiting her commands, to help the young lord undress.
Inuyasha allowed the ministrations but did nothing to help them. "Why must it be this way? We shall not have an audience, shall we?" He asked suddenly very afraid the entire court would be waiting him in Sesshomaru's chambers.
"No, you shall not have an audience in the Lords chamber; he would not allow them in. But they shall be waiting to glimpse you in the halls. All wish to be assured of the validity of your marriage before the morn my Lord Consort." She explained as he was stripped naked.
Inuyasha blushed as the last of his clothes were stripped away. "Well come on then." He grumbled sticking his arms out to either side and allowing the servants to redress him in the voluminous kimono.
The hanyou turned and regarded himself in the mirror after the last obi had been tied. I look… okay. He decided at length. The dark blue of the silk, mixed with the silver embroidery made him look much more delicate then he ever remembered.
He glanced out at the setting sun and came to a rather startling realization. This is the night of the new moon. His ear flattened, he stepped back and keened.
Inuyasha pulled at his hair falling harshly to the floor. Above him the servants tittered, he could not pay attention to their gibberish. I… Fuck what am I going to do. I can't step out in to the palace like this. Again a keening whine broke from his throat.
The hanyou growled as a hand was placed on his shoulder and he was shaken roughly.
"You will not ignore me Inuyasha!" Sango's voice broke through the haze of misery.
"How am I to go to him on this night?" He whispered looking up in to his friends eyes pleading with her silently to understand.
The brown pool dawned in understanding and she nodded briskly.
"The Lord Sesshomaru must come to his Lord Consort this night." She exclaimed to the servants gathered nervously around them.
Inuyasha smiled and nodded in consent. Sango always knows what to do, I will have to thank whom ever called her.
"No such thing shall happen!" Akashi tittered, Inuyasha frowned and turned his eyes on the servant.
"You forget your place Akashi, you are but a servant in this palace. Lady Sango has bid you bring my Lord Husband to me. I have consented; you shall do as we wish." The young lord glared at his servant harshly.
She stepped back, obviously unused to the harsh tone her Lord had taken. Inuyasha flinched internally at upsetting the kind woman. I will send her a gift in apology for my tone later. She needs to learn to listen to me better.
She nodded and bowed leaving the room.
Sango too bowed, she winked slyly and too took her leave.
Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief, sent the rest of the servants from his bed chamber and climbed in to his large western style bed.
Why does this of all nights have to be my human time? Sesshomaru isn't even going to want to touch me… The hanyou cringed and curled in to himself. He stared out the large windows and counted the seconds to sun set. Ten, nine… as he lay there he felt the change begin. He watched his hands become soft, pliant. His claws retracted and before him were blunt human nails. He knew he was mortal once more.
In a fit of worry he climbed from the bed. Pacing before the large windows he let tears stain his cheeks. He will leave, he will be disgusted. He shook his head vigorously. Why the hell do I care what Sesshomaru thinks? He is stuck with me now. We've made our choices.
The hanyou stepped toward the windows and leaned his head on the cool pane.
He could barely hear a commotion outside his door before it burst open. An angry Sesshomaru followed by a rather distressed looking Sango burst in to his room. Inuyasha spun and cursed his human senses. Were I not human I would have heard them miles away. He tried to growl but all that came out was a small squeak.
Sesshomaru's eyes met with his and understanding dawned in his husband.
"You shall leave." He waved his hand. The room was still for a moment as though the servants weren't sure whether he spoke to the strange man wearing their lords clothing or to they themselves.
"Did Sesshomaru not make himself clear? Leave!" He roared turning to the servants. Sango was the first to leave, dragging Akashi with her. After the two women the rest of their household filed out.
Inuyasha flinched when his husbands eyes lighted on him. The molted gold hit him like fire to his very soul. He whimpered, and cringed at the pitiful sound. Why is this so hard? Why does he have this power over me?
Inuyasha cast his eyes down allowing the curtain of black that was now his hair to hide him from the world.
Suddenly he was being embraced tightly in warm strong arms.
"Why did you not tell me this was your night? I would have come to your directly." Sesshomaru whispered in to his human ear.
Inuyasha sighed and allowed himself to relax in to his husbands embrace.
"I forgot I guess." He murmured in to his brothers chest.
The hanyou felt warm and safe. His brothers embrace making him feel as though he could float.
"Do not make forgetting a habit, and in the future I shall endeavor to remember as well." The elder of the two nuzzled in to Inuyasha's hair.
The hanyou shuddered and keened. Can this really mean that he wants me… even as I am?
A low purr like growl rumbled from Sesshomaru's chest. "Why are you so tense little one?"
Inuyasha looked up and met his brothers eyes. "How can you stand to touch me? I'm mortal." Inuyasha lamented his weakness.
"You are my Husband and soon shall be my Mate. I will always wish to touch you, no matter your bodies' state." Sesshomaru's voice drifted over Inuyasha's self-doubt allowing the hanyou to smile hesitantly.
"I… My Lord Husband… will you take me to bed?" Inuyasha peaked up at the taller man.
Sesshomaru's eyes flashed with a hunger that had Inuyasha quivering. "I would like nothing more my Consort."
Inuyasha groaned in agreement as he was swept from the floor and in to his brothers arms. He landed softly seconds later in the middle of his large bed.
"You are the most beautiful sight I have ever laid eyes on little brother." The elder growled low in his throat. Inuyasha watched as the impressive form of his husband stalked around the bed predatorily. "I was struck by your beauty in this form the moment I laid eyes on you. I wish for no other to see you this way my little one." Inuyasha felt his breath hitch at those words. A flush began to color his cheeks. His brother climbed slowly on to the bed. Fuck why is he still talking?
"I want you, brother." Inuyasha whispered reaching towards his husband. "Don't make me wait."
In a moment Sesshomaru was above him stripping the kimono from his body hastily. Inuyasha felt waves of pleasure wash over him as his brother was momentarily distracted by a rosy nipple he found. The sharp fang that pierced his nipple had him crying out and pushing at his brother harshly.
"Sesshomaru, I'm human!" He cried attempting to roll away from the offending mouth. The ministrations stopped suddenly and the elder brother pulled away.
"I… I am sorry husband. I do not know that I can control myself." Sesshomaru told him moving to stand.
"Don't you dare leave." Inuyasha ground out reaching for his brother beseechingly.
He smiled as Sesshomaru's head whipped around. "I do not wish to harm you irreparably brother."
"You will not, just pretend I am hurt." Inuyasha whispered.
Sesshomaru ran his hand along Inuyasha's jaw reverently.
"I trust you my Lord, please take me?" Inuyasha pleaded. We have to do this, the entire kingdom rests with our successful marriage.
Sesshomaru nodded and slowly disrobed himself. Inuyasha trembled, his mouth went dry. He lay back, allowing his kimono to pool at his hips and watched as his brother let the last of his cloths drop away.
Kami-sama… he truly is a God. Sesshomaru's body glistened like the moon its self.
"You are amazing." He breathed averting his eyes from the one place he wanted to badly to look upon.
"You are akin to the sun my Consort." Sesshomaru replied coming to kneel before him on the bed. "Your beauty shines from the inside out, I could wish for no other. This Sesshomaru is nothing compared to you."
Inuyasha's head shot forward and he was met with sincerity in his husbands' gaze.
"I wish for you to take me now."
Edited for FFN for full story go to AFF I have the same pen name there.
"You are so beautiful my precious husband. Spread before me as a feast to a dying man. I will consume you little one. You are mine, my mate my husband, my brother and no other will have you. This I promise." Sesshomaru drove that point home by sinking his teeth in to Inuyasha's shoulder. The human screamed as this last bit of sensation sent him spiraling over the edge in to oblivion.
He knew he would reciprocate the mating mark at sun rise when his demon would reemerge. For now though he wanted to bask in the feeling of being wanted, cared for.
Edit again.
"Sleep now my Mate, my Love. I will see you in the morning." Sesshomaru whispered in to his ear.
Inuyasha did just that.
IN
Inuyasha awoke as the sun hit the horizon. The telltale signs of his transformation gripped him. His ears shifted, the hair in front of his eyes lightened, his fingers ached as his nails grew long and sharp.
"Good morning My Mate." His brother's husky voice greeted him from behind.
Inuyasha smiled and rolled over in to his husbands arms. "Good morning husband." He nuzzled at the spot he would mark Sesshomaru as his mate.
"Mark me Love." Sesshomaru whispered bearing his neck for the taking.
Inuyasha sighed in contentment and suck his sharp teeth in to his brother's neck finalizing their bond.
Together, their bond completed the two inu fell asleep once more.
