Inuyasha eyed the two brothers, he could detect no malicious intent on both ends.
Out of the two brothers Riko was the submissive one his scent the more obvious give away to the not so subtle sugary scent he carried. The way he reacted to Rah when the two got close, the way they spoke to one another. He'd noticed Rah's more masculine bass would draw out Riko's more boyish tone of voice.
He'd noticed that Riko's eyes never strayed off of his brother's person for too long. He looked to him for approval before continuing any task and obviously unashamed of the power he willingly gave over to Rah. .
Inuyasha wondered if Sesshomaru the old Sesshomaru he know would ever look at him like that? He scoffed at the thought, the Sesshomaru he knew would skewer him before he stared at him with such love and devotion spilling into those beautiful golden eyes.
"Sire?" Riko spoke softly not wanting to startle the tempermantle hanyou. "May I speak freely?" The demon eyed his hanyou lord cautiously placing the cutlery on each bamboo mat with a bowl filled with rice and cooked beef strips for Rin while the others were obviously raw by color and scent; one for Jaken, Shippo, and of course Sesshomaru.
"Yah, go ahead I don't care." Inuyasha folded his arms behind his head out of nervous habit.
"Well Sire, you seem to have feelings towards our Lord Sesshomaru." Riko stilled his movements "Yet you seem to not want him to become attached to you, and yet he smells strongly of your scent claim." The demon looked up at the hanyou for an sign that he had went too far.
"Yah, that was an accident." Inuyasha huffed lifting a hand to scrub at his face. "My youkai." he paused figuring this piece of information was better left unsaid. They didn't need to know he wasn't strong enough in power or intellect to control his own youkai.
It was Rah's turn "Your youkai is yourself, Sire." he paused at the table where he'd been rolling towels for the day's outing. "I know not if because of your mixture of blood maybe your youkai has taken on its own sections of your person manifesting itself enough to gain mental awareness." Rah paused again face twisted in deep thought.
"Ah, I see what you mean." Riko quipped clapping his hands together. "Our Lord Inuyasha has two sets of blood running through his body; his youkai probably couldn't fuse fully with the human blood without tainting his demon nature."
Rah open his mouth to speak having resumed the rolling and packing of towels. "Well something along those lines, I cannot says for sure because I am not educated in such subjects."
"Your youkai wishes to court his Highness Sesshomaru?" Riko looked to Inuyasha's directions but never did he stare openly at his lord's bare face or make eye contact.
"Wha…?" Inuyasha stammered around words for a bit, thankful when the brats ran in the kitchen Rin slinging off a series of 'Thank you's' and urging Shippo to show thanks as well. He could feel the satisfaction radiating off of his youkai at Rin's well mannered behavior.. It muttered things like "Perfect' and 'Bearer' aimed in thoughts of Sesshomaru of course. He had basically raised the girl hadn't he?
"Inuyasha-Sama.' Rin stood before the hanyou tugging on the edge of her sleeve. "Are we really going to the water today?" She looked ready to burst with excitement.
Inuyasha looked down at the ginger haired brat who grinned at him with sharp teeth and well the mannered one but still a brat with her large innocent chocolate colored eyes and bobbing pigtail.
And then there was Sesshomaru who stood perfectly still a true form of perfection yet his eyes drowned Inuyasha with the adoration the pup felt. It felt so different to have such a small body bore such emotion into him it was like looking into the intense icy gaze of the Sesshomaru he'd known since the passing of his mother. "As soon as ya' finished eating, yea." Inuyasha was sure he looked as awkward as he felt with eyes of every brat within the room were on him and beaming with excitement.
"C'mon! The faster you guys finish the sooner we go!" Inuyasha flushed throwing up his arms in with more than necessary exaggeration.
Ooo
The warmth of the wind felt good to the Hanyou who found himself chaperoning three brats. He did thank Kami that Rah and Riko had accompanied them carrying extra supplies into four large baskets.
Inuyasha was actually carrying two out of four hand woven baskets his pride really couldn't allow him to seem lazy. Why did he even care they were friggin kids and servants, he was losing his fucking mind all for Sesshomaru.
Two of the brats ran ahead little legs only carrying them a short distance ahead of the hanyou, Sesshomaru seemed to walk on air instead of sinking into the loose sand as everyone else did. The pup hardly left a footprint! It had to be magic. In that moment since the first day he heard his youkai speak and not the usual assault of emotion barreling through his being, they had finally agreed on something. The pup was not of this earth he had to be an angel sent down from the golden gates of heaven to grace this wicked earth with his beauty.
Rah and Riko were determined to mingle behind their lords a "Disgrace" they said it would be for them to walk the ground before them or within ten feet of their lords it seemed silly to Inuyasha but Sesshomaru only smiled and thanked the demons for their loyalty and service before asking Inuyasha if they were ready to head out. He nodded dumbly of course.
They laid large heavy quilts from two baskets upon the sand a good distance away from the watery shore avoiding wet sand. Rah and Riko continued unpacking two more baskets filled with extra clothing, food and drink, and a few reading materials for themselves of course. They would not be entering the water on this day. They needed to remain diligent to the needs of their Prince and Lord.
"Sesshomaru?"
Said demon child looked at the human girl twiddling her fingers and looking directly at his now covered feet. He raised one slender eyebrow in question.
Rin could not help but smile at his response the simple action proved to her that this smaller version of her dear Lord Sesshomaru was one in the same. "Would you like to play with Rin?"
Sesshomaru fidgeted for a minute clearly uncomfortable with the girls question, he did not understand her motives. He understood that she had been someone his other self had known and protected maybe even befriended but that Sesshomaru was gone and to him hopefully forever…
Why play with him?
"You don't have 'ta play, Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin quickly tried to amend little hands waving to and fro in panic she bowed and apologized. "Rin is sorry she interrupted Lord Sesshomaru!"
"It's fine, Rin." Sesshomaru closed the distance. "I did not say no." he reminded her to which she moved her head to peer at him with wet chocolate eyes.
"You will play with Rin?" He nodded yes.
Rin smiled and took Sesshomaru's hand taking them down to the wet sand. "We should build a castle in the sand." she suggested the only one she knew. "Rin will build Lord Sesshomaru's castle!"
Sesshomaru cringed not wanting to think of his home the only home he known and loved didn't feel so much the same now…
"I suggest we build a castle of our own." he interrupted the girls rapid speech, he did wonder how she managed to breathe between the quick choppy sentences. Little hands dug into cool moist sand a castle of their own was to be built!
Shippo stood near the hanyou peering longingly at Rin he wanted to have her attentions focused on him but Sesshomaru was dangerous wasn't he? The kit looked up at Inuyasha who stood next to him his tall figure blocking the sun's long rays.
"Just go over and apologize!" The hanyou gruffed removing his outer red coat he felt the sun's rays heating his skin. He looked down at the little kit and sighed he knew the fear that drug itself through the kits body "I know he's done some really and believe me I do mean really bad things to us."...Me
"But he is not the same...right now, you'll be fine" he leaned down just a bit and ushered the boy forward ignoring the fear filled green eyes until the boy complied and went towards the other two brats.
Inuyasha watched as Shippo formally or at least tried to give a formal apology to Sesshomaru somehow tripping over his crossed feet his face falling into the right side of the sand castle the way he push up right seemingly spitting piles of sand caused Rin to laugh both hands covering her mouth with sprawled fingers revealing a toothy grin.
Sesshomaru clutched his middle and laughed. Gracefully? Could anyone even laugh gracefully. It would have to be Sesshomaru. Even as a brat.
With all forgiven the three brats resumed building. Inuyasha turned around before he spent the entire trip staring at his brother. Brat!
His eyes settled on Rah and Riko who sat side by side facing the brats at work. He shrugged and sat on the opposite side of the quilt. "This was a wonderful idea Lord Inuyasha." Riko looked longingly upon the young ones prattling about the structure of sand. He supposed it could be a castle?
Rah nodded "I agree, it's nice even under current circumstances." He could hear Riko's murmurs of agreement not really paying attention his thoughts wandered to many summers when the family estate bristled with life. Roaring laughter from their Lord startling her Lady all caused by inu pup antics.
"Rah?" Riko poked his beloved companion a bit harder "Are you paying attention?"
"Huh?" Rah stared blankly.
"I asked!" The hanyou snorted "What else do you know about youkai?"
Rah quickly apologized to the hanyou scratching at the back of his head awkwardly. "Forgive me my Lord."
"I'm aware of the basics, this has been said before youkai is oneself a basic raw desire and power stemming from within oneself it is like your most raw self." He tried his best to explain.
Inuyasha looked at the redheaded demon and thought for a moment before voicing his question. "Is it different being that I am hanyou?" He further explained. "I'm confused and yet eerily becoming attached to someone who for all my life hated me." He folded his arms eyebrows set in a deep furrow. His youkai had no second thoughts on attaching Sesshomaru to itself.
"It is possible, your demon blood was strong enough to prevent a full mesh between itself and the human genes passed on." Rah shook his head.
" I am sorry my Lord I am not entirely sure, however forgive me if I'm being brash but you seem to care for the Prince as well. Maybe it is more fear that's prevents your love to grow?"
Inuyasha blinked stupidly clearly embarrassed. 'Love?!' The very thought was crazy. Right?
"Whoa! Love? Sesshomaru has beaten me within inches of my life. I care sure but love?" The hanyou looked at Sesshomaru dig a small moat around the castle. His insides felt hot, his youkai purred in delight at the pup. Mine...
Riko spoke up this time "We are unaware of the details of the circumstances that changed our Lord but we knew on that last day we'd seen him he had changed." Riko tapped his finger on his thigh in thought that day was far in the past when he'd first heard word that his Prince had left the castle walls and had remained gone for many moons. It was hard to obtain information in a timely manner as the servants who attended to their stocks and replenishables only came three times a year.
Lord Sesshomaru had given them a scare one quiet afternoon as they lounged on the soft grass beneath the willow tree they'd taken the afternoon off after an extra early morning rise to get a head start on chores ensured they could. As they sat nestled together at the base of the tree a bloodied Sesshomaru barreled through the yard angry and snarling they'd come to alert immediately to aid their Lord though he did not need aid they inwardly sighed in relief that the blood drying on the demon princes pale skin was not of his own vessel. He'd composed himself and left the very next morning. They had not seen him until now. "We haven't seen our Lord in many centuries, it's disturbing to see him a pup and in need of protection when wherever or whomever he'd last seen before stopping at the estate clearly was in need of protection and the look of hate! I'm sorry to say our Lord frightened me a bit that night. Rah took Riko's hand into his own. A small comfort.
Inuyasha nodded that makes sense Inuyasha himself had once thought of Sesshomaru as an indestructible force that could and would kill all in its path. Now the exception was himself. He grinned inwardly at his strength to battle with the Great Bastard Sesshomaru and actually kick ass! Sometimes…
His youkai growled at the thought. No...It stunned Inuyasha he couldn't even enjoy his small victories anymore and small they were. But yet again he found himself agreeing with his youkai.
He didn't want to hurt the pup. But what about when Sessho went back to being Ice Prince Sesshomaru? Would he attack? No! Beta will not hurt, we will not hurt.
His youkai seemed so sure.
"Inuyasha?" A small voice removed him from his self torture.
"Yes, brat brother?" He smirked at the flustered pup his cheeks always lit up in that's downy pink hue for the hanyou that turned his youkai into a down right pervert.
"Swim with me?"
Ooo
They'd finally made it back bustling through the doors held open by Rah of course the brats ran into the house Riko tailing after Rin as the only female he would assist her with getting ready for her bathe being sure to give instruction least she scald herself and to immediately call him once she was finished.
The men as Shippo referred to Sesshomaru and himself would wait until the lady had finished. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
Walking past the two carrying in the last of their beach bundles Rah quickly came and shooed him away carrying on about Lords needing rest and depriving him to his duties. He took the baskets away.
Inuyasha turn back "Shippo are you going to finally wash your ass tonight?!" Inuyasha teased grinning at the kit whose face puffed in anger.
"Shut up, Dog boy!" He glanced up flight stairs his eyes held relief Rin had not heard. "I took one already! Earlier before we went to the water." He stuck out his tongue at the hanyou who sniffed the air around the kit, he glared devilishly.
"Sure ya'did." Inuyasha scooped Sesshomaru into his arms heading up stairs leaving a distraught Shippo behind his youkai of course teased that he willfully goaded the kit to ensure he'd have Sesshomaru all to himself. He didn't disagree enjoying the comforting weight in his arms.
Ooo
It was their turn in the bathe now Sesshomaru found himself standing naked watching on as his big brother removed his clothing revealing the sun kissed sun he so adored. His eyes drank greedily with shame.
Inuyasha could feel the smaller inu eyeing him and could not help the feelings of satisfaction blooming in his chest. His youkai told him it was good the child understand he could look upon what rightfully belonged to him. He scoffed and beckoned the pup closer snatching him up and carrying them into the heated pool. Honey and goat's milk he was told and lemon peel. Apparently it was good for the skin some royal sassy prassy bullshit if you asked him. Rah and Riko had even made them tie their hair into buns. He must admit Sesshomaru with a bun and dusty cheeks? His cock stirred.
He settled onto the submerged ledge built into the pool for seating. Sesshomaru sat face to chest eyeing the hanyous skin longing to tongue to flesh he knew laced his tongue with the sweetest flavors he'd ever taste. It was wrong he knew but Inuyasha's youkai said it was ok that he belonged to him and they'd done it before. But Inuyasha himself did not want him that way. He sat quite comfortably allowing Inuyasha to maneuver his limbs to wash his under arms. To which he giggled and allowed his mind to move on from such brooding thoughts.
Inuyasha smiled continuing to wash the pup ignoring the perverse onslaught his youkai brought to mind. He picked Sesshomaru up standing the pup on strange thighs he stole a glance at the boy's face which was dark red with embarrassment his breathing short and hitched.
"Sessho.." Inuyasha trailed a hand down the soft stomach until he came across those magenta stripes on the boys pelvis. Sesshomaru gasped when he grazed his fingertips across the colored flesh.
"Inuyasha, please!" Sesshomaru palmed the sides of his big brothers face the need to view his brothers eyes strong. "I..I do not feel disgusted by your touches or, or pain." His lip trembled pinpricks of salt burned the corner of his eyes. "I know that I may be a whore for wanting to feel-"
Inuyasha could hear no more nor could he resist the need to comfort the pup so he claimed those lips of his own accord. Just a soft lingering kiss. Promised
"You promised, Sessho.." Inuyasha parted only briefly to spare these words
Sesshomaru whimpered and swore his body turned to mush. Inuyasha pulled away. "You are not a whore Sesshomaru, I will not say it again he clapped a milky globe with little force. Sesshomaru whimpered again his small cock tingling nicely.
Was this normal? "Inu, I feel heat and tingles in my privates when you touch me." Sesshomaru blushed profoundly "Is that…". He looked away "Is that ok?" Normal?
The older inu tilted the little demons face to his and once more kissed those soft lips he lowered the pup into a seated position on his lap taking a small clawed hand into his own his guided Sesshomaru to his cock and left his hand to explore as he liked. He agreed for the hundredth time now? With his youkai he would show Sesshomaru sex can be and should be used as a form of love.
"I feel it too, when you touch me or look at me. Shit even in your sleep. This is not wrong to feel Sesshomaru, the feelings we share are mutual I believe."
His youkai purred in delight as the boys small fingers gentle pulled and touched at his cock. Mine...
Sesshomaru gasped when his brother guided his hand to his front and told him he felt it too the hanyous cock was large and hot. "Will I be able to do this one day?" He tugged at the solid flesh slowly gently afraid of hurting his beloved brother. He loved the heavy feeling of Inuyasha in his palms. "Mine does not harden, I feel stirs when around or in thoughts of you only." He gasped again hand faltering when Inuyasha palmed his young cock.
"One day when you're older your cute cock will wake to greet me." His fingerpads gently massaged the outer lips of Sesshomaru's slit the pup whined in pleasure. "Sesshomaru, I know this will probably end as soon as your fixed." He clutched the boys hip assisting with the unsteady rocking of hips. Never..
Sesshomaru panted softly his eyes locked onto the hanyous chest those dark nipples called to him begging him to give Inuyasha the pleasure he deserved. How could he deny? Suckling softly on the right nipple Sesshomaru slowed the rock of his hips in favor of guiding his tongue around the hardened nipples as Inuyasha thought him felt good. The hanyou groaned and Sesshomaru's pleasure doubled. He switched to the other nipple lapping away at the skin between the two nipples.
Inuyasha gasped deeply when the pup nipped his left nipple his breathing short and ragged he pulled Sesshomaru from his chest then gently moved to nuzzle the pups neck lapping at the soft skin. Sesshomaru closed his eyes in excitement and comfort his youkai thrilled at his current situation. It urged Sesshomaru to allow this half demon to mark him Inuyasha would keep him safe. Inuyasha made him feel good he'd force the madness to quiet and showed Sesshomaru that these acts can incur pleasure with love and he promised he'd stay. Maybe Inuyasha would change his mind and finish the claim? Sesshomaru hoped.
He'd never allow that other Sesshomaru to rear up and hurt his big brother. He felt the hanyou move back from his neck. Inuyasha kissed his lips again.
"I will never allow that Sesshomaru to hurt you again big brother." He pressed his lips to Inuyasha's.
He wanted to believe that, that Sesshomaru would change physically back into the beautiful demon he'd known and terrorized him since childhood. And love him as this pup did allow his affection to radiate freely and let the hanyou lavish him with love.
Inuyasha smiled softly at the pup "And if I hold you to your word?"
It has been a while! I'm so sorry life and all that stuff. I should be able to update again before years end. Your reviews are welcome and encouraged
Until next time 3~
