Chapter Thirteen
Miroku shifted slightly, careful not to wake up the slumbering youkai who was laying on top of
him, the demon lord's head resting on the houshi's chest. He tightened his embrace around the
white-haired man, nuzzling Sesshomaru's head.
He sighed inwardly, listening to the sound of Sesshomaru's breathing. Miroku wished that this
peaceful moment could go on for eternity, but smiled, knowing that there were much more things
he could do with the demon lord that were a great deal more entertaining, for both of them. He
stared up at the ceiling, wondering why Kagome and the others have been so worried about
Sesshomaru. He had seen no obvious wounds on the youkai and Sesshomaru seemed perfectly
fine, considering what they had done to entertain themselves for the past few hours.
"Is the ceiling that interesting?" Sesshomaru asked groggily, gently licking the houshi's
collar bones. He shifted slightly, moving his weight off of his koibito's smaller body, but
continued his erotic assault on his lover's chest.
"Not as interesting as you," Miroku replied quietly, keeping his arms wrapped around the
demon lord's midsection. 'He said he didn't love me...maybe he was lying...' "Do you love me,
Sesshomaru?"
The youkai remained quiet, the only sound coming from him was his breathing. Miroku
lowered his head as the uncomfortable silence continued. His head snapped back up, his eyes
meeting with Sesshomaru's, when he heard the demon lord breathe heavily. "Does it make any
difference if I do or not?"
"Hai, to me it does..." Miroku said softly, letting go of the demon's body and turned so his
back was facing Sesshomaru. 'I should have listened to everyone...they kept saying he would
only break my heart...' Miroku stifled a sob as he inched away from the youkai, curling up into a
ball.
Sesshomaru immediately could smell the saline tears and noticed the houshi's shivering
body. He immediately cursed, wanting to know why humans had ever-changing emotions. He
had noticed the same changes in Rin and other humans he had been near, but no one had ever
cried because of something he said. That fact alone made him feel uneasy, and, against his better
judgement, slightly guilty. "Stop it." He stated, wincing when he heard his rough, commanding
voice. He gently touched Miroku's exposed shoulder, surprise taking over his facial emotions
when Miroku quickly pulled himself further away from Sesshomaru.
"Leave me alone." Miroku's tone no longer held the familiar compassion and wisdom Sesshomaru
had come to recognize. Instead, it was cold and bitter, a tone that didn't fit his houshi at all. The
youkai lord froze at those thoughts. 'My houshi?'
"Please stop crying," Sesshomaru mumbled, slowly moving into a sitting position. He was taking
extra care not to touch the monk, since he had a feeling that would only make Miroku even more
emotional. He couldn't stand when anyone cried, all it did was prove their weakness, and not
once had he ever thought of the houshi as weak.
Miroku silenced when he heard Sesshomaru's request, his mouth gaping open. He had never
heard the youkai use such soft, kind tones, let alone the word 'please'. "Why should I?" he
asked, wanting to know how long he could keep Sesshomaru in this unusual mood.
"I-" Sesshomaru tried to look away from the ningen, but his gaze kept returning to the black-
haired man he had begun to think of as more than a lover. "I don't want to be the reason you're
crying..." He closed his eyes, waiting for the houshi to burst out laughing at his sentimental reply,
but the laughter never came. Instead, he felt the man's fingers gingerly touch his cheeks, the
houshi's eyes staring at him. He pressed his cheek into Miroku's hand before the houshi had a
chance to pull away.
Miroku couldn't help but smile when he saw Sesshomaru show such warmth, but he held back a
chuckle when the youkai began to purr softly. 'If he doesn't want to make me cry...then he must
care about me. It might not be love yet...but it's a start...' Miroku thought. Knowing
Sesshomaru's reputation for cruelty and cold emotions, he was glad for the few things the demon
showed him and no one else.
"Jeez...you think they would actually get up some time!" Inuyasha was, once again, fuming at the
fact that Jaken and Myoga were the only other people he could talk to besides Kagome. He hated
having to sit here, knowing his murderous brother was alone with one of the very few people he
called a friend.
Kagome continuously tried to settle his fears about Sesshomaru killing Miroku while they weren't
watching them, but Inuyasha couldn't help but worry for Miroku's safety. He knew what
Sesshomaru was capable of, unlike Miroku, and knew that the youkai lord was a magnificent
strategist.
"Master Inuyasha, are you still worrying about Miroku?" Myoga asked, leaping up onto his
master's shoulder and staring at Inuyasha's face. "Really, there is nothing to worry about.
Miroku can take care of himself."
"That bastard isn't to be trusted." Inuyasha glared at Myoga for a moment, as if he were trying to
make his retainer deny that fact.
"Master Sesshomaru wouldn't harm that ningen!" Jaken exclaimed from beneath the tree Inuyasha
was sitting in. The toad-like demon huffed, thinking it was preposterous that his master would
even think to put one of the two beings he cared for most though any type of pain.
"Jaken, does Sesshomaru actually like Miroku, or is he just playing with him?" Inuyasha asked,
hoping the retainer had an insight into Sesshomaru's plan of seducing his friend.
"Master Sesshomaru wouldn't tell this lowly Jaken such a thing...but Master Sesshomaru could
hardly keep that houshi off his mind," Jaken replied, disgust clear in his voice. Inuyasha knew
why the toad disliked the mere thought of his master loving Miroku. Marriage. As the Lord of
the Western Lands, Sesshomaru was supposed to marry a wealthy youkai and receive her family's
lands, thus increasing his rule. That was the way it was done for generations upon generations,
until Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's father. The youkai had married a powerful youkai heiress, but
their father fell in love with a human, which ended in the problem of having two sons, one of pure
demon blood, and the other was a hanyou. Naturally, Sesshomaru was raised as their father's
successor, while Inuyasha was hid away from the demon courts.
Inuyasha, for the longest time thought it was because his father hated him, until he realized how
much hanyou were despised, among both humans and demons. His father did so to protect him
from his rivals, but Inuyasha still was angered at his father. He had only seen his father very few
times, when he was visiting his mother, and the youkai never once told him who he was, why he
could not stay with Inuyasha and his mother.
Inuyasha found out who his father was when his mother told him, when he decided to leave the
small village they lived in his whole life. She also told him that he had a brother, another element
of his history that he didn't know. When he first met Sesshomaru, the youkai lord didn't say who
he was, but by the similarities between their features, Inuyasha guessed who he was, but from his
instincts, kept his distance.
Sesshomaru, Inuyasha found out after some time, was the youkai lord that gave no woman, or
man, a single glance, so most gave up on trying to marry into their prestigious family, and were
just biding their time until Sesshomaru died. When the youkai lord died, there would obviously be
no one to be his heir, so his lands would be free for the taking. That was the plan before they
learned of Inuyasha's existence.
Inuyasha thought over that for a moment, his understanding for the reason for all of Sesshomaru's
secrecy growing. 'If no one knows, no one would kill Miroku or their children...but the instant
someone found out...they would probably send armies to finish off the only way they wouldn't
gain Sesshomaru's lands...but that still doesn't make any sense...' "If Sesshomaru wanted to
protect Miroku, he wouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place...." Inuyasha thought outloud,
not being able to think of a logical reason as to why Sesshomaru would have children. 'He could
easily terminate the pregnancy...and demons don't have menstruation cycles like humans...they
conceive when they damn well feel like it...but...'
"Did you ever think it was just because he wanted to make Miroku happy?" Kagome asked as she
walked towards the tree, clearly hearing everything that the three demonic beings said. "Miroku's
always wanted a child...why do you think he is always glad to take care of Shippou?"
"But Miroku didn't seem to know last time -I- saw him..." Inuyasha stated, his eye twitching
uncontrollably. 'Sesshomaru could have the kids any day now...and they're off fuckin'...'
"Maybe Sesshomaru's just trying to find the right time to tell him," Kagome suggested, smiling at
Inuyasha. 'He and Sesshomaru are so alike...thick-headed...' Kagome thought to herself. 'But,
Inuyasha's right...it's kind of a long time to wait to tell Miroku...'
