Disclaimer: No owning of Inu Yasha for this one, Rumiko Takahashi is the much appreciated creator and owner of it.

(sigh) I am a coward, I was just about to write a one shot Naraku / Sesshoumaru pairing (non-lemon, T rated variety), and the warnings and disclaimer took up over half a page, and by then I chickened out.

Sorry this took so long, I just recently started school (Woot! I missed education so much!) and I'm still adjusting. Chapters will be slow in coming for the time being, sorry about his, because even after I finish adjusting, the workload is still a bit heavy, so I won't be able to write so often. Also, my other work in progress, Beyond Golden Eyes, will probably be on hiatus for a bit. I seem to have lost the energy of the story, and I am not about to force it. I'm really sorry to anyone who reads it.

Thank you so much to everyone who has reviewed so far, you're feedback really does inspire new chapters

Ok, before you read this, there are a few important notes that you probably know all ready but just in case.

This is a strictly platonic relationship (not in any way sexual), and the scene you are about to witness is strictly that.

I firmly believe that it is impossible to maintain a mask while thoroughly unconscious, even if you are a jaded nearly immortal demon lord who has been cheated out of his childhood.

"That smell" refers simply to the scent of the source of the warmth, and has nothing whatsoever to do with another scent that is, in many fanfictions, highly recognizable to the sensitive nose of a dog demon.

"Speaking"Inu's thoughtsSessh's thoughts

Oh my god this is chapter 10! Double digits! Woot!

Ch. 10- A Night To Remember, Or A Night to Forget?

Warm… So comfy… So safe… So… Fluffy… Where am I? Why is this fur wrapped so tight? Oh no. Why am I surrounded by that smell? Oh shit. Ok, I can get out of this without being maimed. Hang on, we had a truce, he can't attack me. But will he remember that before or after he slaughters me? Shit. How do I get out of this. I know, I'll just ease out carefully…

Inu Yasha's captor let out a sound that seemed to combine a irritated growl with a soft whine, and tightened his grip, cuddling against him as though he was a teddy bear… or teddy pup, as the case may be.

This is bad. This is really bad. He's not letting go. How did this happen? I don't' even remember going to bed. I didn't think Sesshoumaru did "bed". He always struck me as a one eye open resting sort of person, but he's totally out of it. AND WHAT'S WITH THIS DAMN FUR? For goodness sake, what is it, a tail? Why can't he keep it to himself?

The fur in question proceeded to caress the inu's cheek, as though trying to coax him back to sleep.

Gah! Does this thing never quit? What am I doing here? The last thing I remember…

…A few hours ago…

Think, Sesshoumaru, how to get this baka off you're case. Plan A. Kill him. Pro's? He's gone. Con's? Bring shame to the name no one will remember by breaking my vow. So, that plan is out. Plan B. Distract him. Pro's? Get him off topic. Con's. He could find a worse topic. Not much worse, but that's not the point. Plan C. Drug him. Pro's? Exert power over him. Shut him up. Exert power over him. Con's? I may be affected by the fumes. But, I can hold out longer than him, and once he is asleep I can get rid of the incense. Plan C then.

Sesshoumaru walked over to a small chest against a wall next to the bed, and opened it, revealing many small packages. He then grabbed a piece of paper, and poured out a portion of powered, which he lit with a nearby candle.

"Inu Yasha. Place this incense on the table on the opposite side of the bed."

Incense? Really? Why?

"Why should I?"

"Because if you hadn't severed my arm I would be able to do it myself."

"Grrrr…." Inu Yasha took the incense around the bed, but was having trouble standing by the time he made it to the desk. His knees buckled and just as he was about to fall, Sesshoumaru dived across the bed, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him across the bed. He then turned to dispose of the incense on the desk. Or rather, the incense that was SUPPOSED to be on the desk. Darling Inu Chan never did make it, and the incense was on the floor, still burning and fuming.

Damn! I'll be asleep before I can finish clearing it up. Options. 1) Try to clean it and fall asleep in a heap on the floor. 2) Lie on the bed and pretend it was intentional. Well, the floor is not an option.

…Back with Inu…

The last thing I remember… I was carrying incense and I got all drowsy, and… and… the incense! That bastard, he drugged me!

With out stopping to consider his actions, Inu Yasha bit the irritating fur that kept trying to comfort him (and had, in fact, doubled its efforts when Inu Yasha grew more irritated). It was only when the beast woke up that Inu Yasha realized his mistake.

…End Chapter…

Ok, yes, I realize this was extremely short, (I really did mean to make this one longer) but don't worry, there isn't going to be a huge gap between ch. 10 and ch. 11, because I already know what's coming next, I just need to stop now because it's almost time for me to start baby sitting. Please Review! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! ( I certainly enjoyed writing it!)
