I would like to thank sessho kikyo ripley for reviewing my story. And I hope Lita Kitsune and hiei666 like it too.
Inuyasha began to tell his friends how him and Sesshomaru realized they loved each other….
Inuyasha was looking for his older brother. Their father had sent him to find the future heir because he was having some other lords over and he wanted to introduce Sesshomaru to them. Inuyasha knew Sesshomaru's favorite hiding place and had gone straight there to find him. There was a forest behind the manor that they lived in. All the trees in it were full of sakura blossoms. Inuyasha walked through the pink forest and tried to spot Sesshomaru. Inuyasha laughed to himself.
He always thought it was ironic that he was taller than Sesshomaru. Apparently, Inuyasha was growing faster than Sesshomaru was and the younger brother was now taller than Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru only came up to his neck. He knew that one day Sesshomaru would be taller than him, like a big brother should, but until then he was going to enjoy himself.
He was about to give up his search and tell his father he couldn't find Sesshomaru when the unexpected happened. Sesshomaru jumped out from behind a tree and pounced on Inuyasha. They both went toppling to the ground. Sesshomaru started laughing. Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh too.
"Sesshomaru, that's three days in a row. My back is killing me. When are you going to stop?" Inuyasha said between laughs.
"I'm sorry. It's just so fun. The word 'sneaky' is obviously not a part of your vocabulary." Sesshomaru laughed.
Inuyasha kept laughing. He was suddenly aware that Sesshomaru was on top of him. His heart started to race. He wasn't sure why that was happening. Every time he was around Sesshomaru he would get this odd feeling. He couldn't explain it.
Sesshomaru was trying hard not to show Inuyasha how nervous he was about being on top of him. He kept laughing. He didn't know why he was always so nervous around Inuyasha. The feeling he felt when Inuyasha was near was indescribable. So he didn't bother to mention it.
"Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said when they finished laughing. "Father says he needs you to come back to the house. He wants to show you off to some lords or something like that."
Sesshomaru gave an annoyed look. "I'm not going."
"What? Why not?" Inuyasha asked.
"Because I hate doing things like that. I hate being the heir to the throne. I never get to have any fun. It's not fair."
Sesshomaru laid his head down on Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha tried to ignore the way his heart sped up.
"Ok. I'll tell dad I couldn't find you." Inuyasha said.
"No. Stay here with me, Inuyasha. Don't go back." Sesshomaru said looking up.
Inuyasha felt strangely sad when Sesshomaru took his head off of his chest. "You want me to stay?"
Sesshomaru nodded his head.
"Ok. I won't leave then."
Sesshomaru smiled then laid his head back on Inuyasha chest. Inuyasha put one arm around Sesshomaru's waist and used the other to stroke his hair. Sesshomaru smiled to himself. It finally hit him why he was so nervous around Inuyasha. He knew that Inuyasha could never feel the same way about him. He was ashamed that he was feeling this way at all. He shut his eyes and tried not to think about it.
'Am I really in love with Sesshomaru?' Inuyasha thought to himself. He knew he couldn't deny it. He loved Sesshomaru. But he could never tell him. Father would kill him. He would admire him from afar.
"So how long do you plan on staying here?" Inuyasha asked.
"Until the other people leave the house." Sesshomaru said not looking up.
Inuyasha nodded his head as best he could since he was lying on the ground. He could feel Sesshomaru's breathing get lighter, and then it would get heavier again.
"Sesshomaru, are you sleepy?" Inuyasha asked.
Sesshomaru blushed. "Yes. I guess I am."
"Then go to sleep." Inuyasha whispered.
Sesshomaru smiled. "Ok." He said in a small voice. Then he slowly fell asleep.
Inuyasha felt Sesshomaru's steady breathing. He shut his eyes. "Go to sleep, beloved." He whispered into the wind. He opened his eyes again and watched the sakura blossoms fly in the air. "Go to sleep."
"That was when I first realized how I felt about Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said to his friends.
Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku stared at Inuyasha with large eyes as he told his story.
"You two got along pretty well." Miroku stated.
"Of course. We were best friends. Inseparable. It's only a coincidence that all the terrible things that happened to us started only a few months after I found out I loved him." Inuyasha said sadly.
"What kind of terrible things happened to you two?" Kagome asked.
'They're in for the ride of their lives.' Myoga thought.
I guess I should say that the part in italics takes place in the present and the part in regular font is when Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are teens. I thought it would be fun to make Inuyasha taller then Sesshomaru. Anyway, review!
