A/N (Calum the Angel) Why did I get all the yaoi pairings? ...Oh yeah, I volunteered... And as if that wasn't bad enough, it's yaoi incest! Goodie-goodie gumdrops! Jeez, people, incest is NOT attractive! And I don't even have any siblings! So, purely for your enjoyment, here is my picking apart of Inu/Sess. Hey, did anyone else notice that InuSess sounds like incest? ... –Goes off to vomit in horror– This starts out serious at first, but don't worry, it starts to make approximately no sense soon enough.
Twigs and leaves snapped and crackled beneath his feet as he ran desperately through the forest. Without his demon nature, it felt like he was running in slow-motion. The sensation of running through water rather than air drove him very nearly mad, as well as struck fear into his human heart.
Inuyasha stopped and leaned against a tree to catch his breath. His endurance was even suffering. He consoled himself by assuming he was far enough away from the demon by now to be safe, and that the others surely were not far away. He had been separated from Kagome and the others when the demon came. Unable to fight very well without claws or the Tetsusaiga, he was forced to allow the others to protect him, which made him seethe. The forest was pitch black without the moon to illuminate it, and getting separated from the others was an easy task. He tried to survey his surroundings to see if he recognized anything, but his human eyes could not pierce the darkness.
He slumped down next to the tree and looked up through the trees at the sky. The star-sprinkled navy blue indicated the impending dawn, and Inuyasha's heart lifted. As soon as his demon nature had returned, he would tear out of the forest and slaughter the demon— assuming the others had not done so before him. With any luck, they were safe...
"Brother."
Inuyasha jumped and searched desperately for the source of that voice. His subdued senses had left it completely undetected until now. He spotted it easily, standing a scant few feet away from him. Even in the pitch-black of the night, the long silver hair and glittering golden eyes seemed to exude their own illumination.
"Sesshoumaru!"
"I thought as much," Sesshoumaru mumbled. "You rarely cease to amaze me, brother. Such a strange transformation. You appear to be entirely human. I wonder... Are you able to wield the Tetsusaiga?"
"Maybe I can, and maybe I can't," Inuyasha replied defiantly, rising to his full height. "Are you willing to risk finding out?"
"Such an indirect response leads me to believe that you cannot," Sesshoumaru said, the tiniest of grins playing on his lips. "How simple it would be to take it from you now. You, unable to fight back at all."
"You wouldn't dare..." Inuyasha growled. He knew in his present form, he stood no chance whatsoever against Sesshoumaru. Even running was futile. Perhaps if he could stall him long enough, until sunrise...
In the blink of an eye, Sesshoumaru was standing right in front of Inuyasha. Inuyasha let out a yelp at the movement so sudden, he did not see it. He stood, frozen, under his brother's unreadable gaze. As stunned as he was by this, it did not compare to what happened next.
Sesshoumaru caressed Inuyasha's cheek with a clawed hand, gazing deeply into his eyes.
Inuyasha blinked. "Okay, this is getting weird."
"Don't be foolish, brother," Sesshoumaru chided, a little more gently than before. "I've never noticed how beautiful you are before. Probably because I was trying to kill you. Well, I won't be trying that anymore. Your eyes sparkle so brilliantly in the moonlight."
Inuyasha looked up at the sky, puzzled. For some reason, the moon was full.
"It was a new moon a few minutes ago!" Inuyasha protested. "Where the hell did that come from?"
"I believe it popped out of a plot hole," Sesshoumaru replied.
"Oh..." Inuyasha mumbled. "Well, let's have a look at you in the moonlight, then." Inuyasha looked up into his brother's face and gasped. "Holy crap! You're hot! And the fact that you're my brother, and that you've tried to kill me for our father's sword on several occasions doesn't seem to bother me at all!"
"Splendid!" Sesshoumaru bubbled. "Let's prance off happily through the forest!"
And they did. Sesshoumaru took Inuyasha's hand and they pranced happily through the forest, away from the enemy demon and the others. Normally, Inuyasha would never have dreamed of leaving the others to deal with a demon, or to worry them with his absence, but he was madly in love, so it didn't matter.
As they exited the forest and entered a field of tall, plush grass, the full moon fell back into its plot hole and the sun began to rise. Sesshoumaru watched with amazement, amusement and some arousal as Inuyasha's hair faded out to its original silver. His human ears disappeared into his head, and his two little doggy ears appeared on top of his head.
Pop! Pop!
"There's something I've been dying to do," Sesshoumaru enthused. He ran over and began playing with Inuyasha's doggy ears.
Inuyasha was tolerant of the contact; after all, this was his brother and true love. He noticed anew the large fluffy...fluffy slung over Sesshoumaru's shoulder. He began stroking it, coveting its soft fluffiness and fluffy softness.
After several minutes of feeling each other up, they collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
"Was it good for you?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"That was amazing," Inuyasha swooned. He sidled over beside his brother and wrapped his arms around his neck. "I wuv you, Sesshoumaru..."
"I feel some more prancing coming on!" Sesshoumaru exclaimed.
So they rose and linked arms, traipsing merrily through the meadow. Conveniently, the sun had reached its noontime apex and the meadow was now filled with beautiful yellow flowers. They pranced, smiling and laughing, laughing and smiling and prancing.
Sesshoumaru willingly dropped to the ground, pulling Inuyasha along with him. The younger brother landed on top of the elder, and they rolled. They rolled and they rolled and they rolled. They knew not how long they rolled, only that they rolled. They were so occupied with their rolling that they rolled right over the edge of a cliff and down the side, finally rolling into another meadow filled with beautiful yellow flowers.
When their rolling ceased, they stood up and dusted themselves off. Inuyasha noticed that Tetsusaiga was missing. He looked over at Sesshoumaru and opened his mouth to ask where Tetsusaiga had gone, but his question was answered before he had time to ask it. Sesshoumaru held up Tetsusaiga's scabbard, still carrying Tetsusaiga. Sesshoumaru wiggled it in the air tauntingly and began to prance away, giggling gleefully.
"Oh, you!" Inuyasha giggled.
So Inuyasha chased him. He chased him and he chased him and he chased him, prancing all the while through the field of pretty flowers.
"You can't catch me, brother!" Sesshoumaru called out over his shoulder.
"We'll see about that!" Inuyasha shouted back happily.
T'was all in good fun.
Ha.
Ha.
Ha.
When Inuyasha finally caught up to Sesshoumaru, he tackled him to the ground. Tetsusaiga forgotten, they rolled and they rolled and they rolled some more until they were all rolled out. When they stopped, Inuyasha pinned Sesshoumaru's shoulders to the ground and gazed deeply into his eyes. Sappy, romantic music started playing in the background like something out of a bad songfic.
"I never knew how happy I'd be loving you, Sesshoumaru," Inuyasha swooned.
"Me, too, brother," Sesshoumaru sighed.
Blushing a deep crimson, Inuyasha leaned in closer, taking in Sesshoumaru's luscious scent and making a beeline for his soft, supple, kitten-pink lips...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"What!" Kagome demanded, waking with a start at the sudden scream. "What's going on!"
Inuyasha, soaked in a terrified sweat and breathing heavily in panic, was sitting up in his bedroll.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome tried. "Are you okay? What's wrong?"
Inuyasha paused, his eyes widening at the horror of some memory. He shook his head and said tersely, "It's nothing. Just go back to sleep, okay!"
"Alright, you don't have to bite my head off!" Kagome snapped. She laid back down and pulled her covers back up in a huff. "I was just worried is all."
She closed her eyes, trying to fall back into the sleep that Inuyasha had so suddenly broken. As she felt her mind slip into subconsciousness, a sound back in the waking world brought her right back out of it. Her eyes slowly opened, and she saw Inuyasha still sitting up in bed. He seemed to be making a whimpering sound, much like the one a dog would make.
"Awww!" Kagome cooed. She practically leapt out of bed and shuffled over to him on her knees, wrapping her arms around his neck. "There there! You just had a bad dream, right? It's okay, that mean old nightmare can't hurt you while you're awake."
"K-Kagome...!" Inuyasha moaned, his voice more high-pitched than usual. He fearfully clasped her sleeve. "It was... It was terrible..." He continued to whimper like a frightened puppy.
