Chapter 37: Invitation
Sesshoumaru was a demon of his words, and so he eventually extended an invitation to his brother to accompany him on one of his trips to the shop.
"So…what is it you desire?" Inuyasha hesitantly asked his brother as they strolled down a sidewalk together. Seeing Sesshoumaru's surprised expression, Inuyasha shrugged. "Rumors have it that you can only see the shop if you have a deep desire for something, right?"
"Correct," Sesshoumaru responded.
"Well…?"
"I do not desire anything."
"Then how…?"
"I do not know."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Expressive as always," he grunted at his laconic brother. He immediately halted in his steps, his breath caught in his throat when he noticed the strange sight before him. "Wait," he started, finding his throat suddenly very dry, "Is…is that it?"
"Do you think it is?"
"Cut the vague bullshit, Sesshoumaru," Inuyasha said, though there was no hint of anger or annoyance in his voice. He swallowed hard. "This wasn't here before. Does it mean…"
"Come, little brother."
Inuyasha quietly followed Sesshoumaru, hearing a bell chimed their entrance.
