Chapter 8: Like I never left
Sesshomaru parked his car beside Naraku's truck, he peered at the large wooden house nestled between pine trees adjacent to a clear lake that stretched on for miles. Opening his door he was greeted with the fresh scent of maple, wood and grass; the clean air paired with the brisk wind felt serene. He pulled his bag from the backseat, and walked towards the lake. The crystal clear water allowed a clear view of the array of rocks that sat on the bottom of it. Birds chirping as the wind rustling through the trees providing a quiet and welcomed change of pace from the city.
"Beautiful isn't it" Inuyasha said from behind him
He simply nodded robotically, too in awe with the beauty of the space to indulge the beta in conversation. He pulled himself from the lake walking over to Naraku, his shoes crunching against the rocky gravel; watching him open the door and enter the cabin. He walked up the steps closely behind the pair, he sucked in a breath as he was greeted by light wooden accents along the ceiling and a neat fireplace nestled in the large living room. Rich ruby carpets covered the floor shielding their feet from the cold wooden floor, he moved into the space and turned into the kitchen; placing a hand on the cherry oak table.
"Kage this place is amazing" he whispered
"I found it on Airbnb, figured we all could use a break" Naraku said gingerly
"Definitely needed!" Tashio said placing the bags on the floor, and shutting the door behind him
"Where are the rooms?" Koga said softly
"There's one on the main floor and two upstairs" Naraku spoke pointing towards the stairs
"We'll take the one on the main floor," Kagura said, pulling her boyfriend towards the hallway, leading towards the bedroom nestled at the end.
He walked up the stairs, his weight causing the wooden stairs to creak under him. He followed the hallway to the end, turning to the right and pushing the door open. The large room overlooked the lake, large beautiful bay windows allowed white light to pour into the room with an oversized bed in the middle of the room. He walked over to the bed laying a flat hand on the soft sheets; fatigue overtook his body as he opted to simply plop himself on the comfortable surface.
"Oh mhm soft" he moaned, feeling the soft material underneath him.
"That good huh?" Inuyasha said walking into the room, gingerly placing his bag on the floor, taking in the scenery.
"Mhm if anyone needs me, they can fuck off cause I'm not leaving this bed" he said pulling the soft pillow towards him, hugging it tightly
Inuyasha chuckled at the scene, turning to close the door. He shrugged his jacket off,and hung it on a hook behind the door. Trying not to cause much noise, he unpacked in silence opting for the dresser closets to the door. He moved towards their private bathroom, the bathtub sat above the ground, golden claws accenting the white tub, he bit his lip realizing there was no shower. He sighed and began placing his toothbrush on the counter along with his body wash and towel.
Walking back into the bedroom, he saw that Sesshomaru hadn't moved from his spot. He eyed the alpha's luggage and opted to put his things away, he grabbed the bag and started to pull clothes out when a clunking sound startled him. He bent down to find the source of the sound, his eyes found a cell phone tucked underneath the bed. He grabbed the phone, as it vibrated in his palm, his curiosity peaked, he opened the phone and was welcomed by a small back screen. He smiled noting that the alpha demon has certainly not changed, he zeroed in on the message icon, noticing the three messages banner. Biting his lip anxiously, he opened the messages quickly, noticing two messages were in fact from Kiki, Sesshomaru's mother; he let out a harsh breath.
He scrolled and noticed one new message from Kyora, recognizing the name briefly he opened it quickly and read it intensely
Timestamp: Sunday 5:30pm
"So exactly how long are you gone for" Kyora wrote
"A week, I'll be back on Monday!" Sesshomaru replied
"Naraku mentioned some other guys were coming Koga and Inu something"
"Yeah Naraku is dating Koga and the other one is Koga's friend
"You two know each other?"
"Yea a bit but he's no one important"
He felt a lump form in his throat, as he continued to read the words on the screen. He knew the Alpha was still hurting, and was definitely making him work for it but he figured that it would take some time. His eyes widened as he continued to read through the text thread.
Timestamp: Sunday 8:34pm
"So what about you and me?" Kyora asked
"We can definitely talk about it when I come back, I've been distant I know baby but I miss you"
"I miss you Sesshomaru but I need consistency"
"I'm ready to give you that!"
"You always say that but shit hits the fan everytime"
"I got sidetracked but I know what's important"
"Was this Inuyasha the reason you got distracted"
"No he doesn't mean anything to me, we fucked back in highschool but that's it"
"Okay! Well i'll be waiting"
NEW Message: Timestamp Today at 2:16pm
"Hey baby, I miss you! Here's a little something to remind you of what you've got at home ;)"
He sucked in a breath, as he looked at the luid picture of the cherry haired beta in an explicit position. Slender legs were wide open, a tattered oversized shirt was slung off their shoulder and pouty lips were pulled between their teeth.
Tears welled in his eyes as his breath hitched, his lips trembled slightly as pain bloomed in his chest. He knew that Sesshomaru had every right to move on but for the alpha to reduce their entire relationship to meaningless sex; cut him deeply. He figured the two of them could work things out; he never stopped loving the stoic alpha but maybe he really didn't mean anything to him. He blew air haughty, wondering if the previous night had meant anything to Sesshomaru, because it certainly meant everything to him. Maybe he was just punishing him for leaving, like some sort of sick joke; he reread the text messages trying to find some answers but each work shot ice through his veins.
"What are you doing?"
His head shot up, he hadn't felt the bed move. He looked over at the alpha frowning as he moved towards him, he rose to his feet.
"I uhm, I didn't know that you and Kyora were uhm that serious" he whispered tossing the phone on the bed
"What are you talking about?"
He pointed to the phone, and ran his hand through his hair
"You two are clearly getting back together or are still together and working things out! Whatever" he huffed, blinking back tears
"You looked through my phone" Sesshomaru asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest
"He sent a pretty nice picture too, to remind you what you have at home" he chuckled mockingly
Sesshomaru picked up the phone, staring at the screen momentarily. "You've got nerve looking through my phone"
"You told him I didn't mean anything to you! That we "FUCKED" in highschool! Is that all our relationship meant to you?" he said through his teeth, his breath hitching
"You've got zero fucking right to look through my phone Inuyasha"
"Is that all you can say? Was this all some kind of game? To - to hurt me" he stuttered tears streaming down his face
Sesshoamru folded his arms, tucking his phone in his pocket. He chewed his lip sighing as he spoke "Stop being so fucking dramatic"
"DRAMATIC!? You basically called me a slut, reduced our entire relationship to a booty call! Argh! Just tell me the truth,are you two together? You owe me at least that" he cried
Sesshomaru chuckled rolling his eyes and challenged "Pfft you seriously think you have the right to ask me shit!, I don't owe you a thing Inuyasha"
"Sesshomaru I thought we were working things out! I thought last night changed things, didn't it?" he exclaimed pleading with the demon
Rolling his eyes, Sesshomaru clicked his tongue "Why? Cause I had my face between your legs? That's not progress sweetheart, that's I was horny and you're easy" Sesshomaru spat
He stepped back for a moment, tears dragging down his face, his lip trembling. The alphas words shot through his core, the venom dripping in the alpha's voice cut him to his core. He shuddered looking into the cold golden eyes!
"I love you" he whispered,pausing before rushing towards the door, he pulled it open harshly and ran into the hallway.
He walked down the stairs, and stood in the living room. He let out a frustrated groan, running his hand through his hair roughly, wiping his eyes vigorously
He heard a door open, and turned around to face the sound
"Hey kid, you alright" his father said, quietly exiting the room
He huffed walking up to the large demon, he leaned his head into his fathers chest and let out a frustrated sigh.
"I don't know! Argh he's so stubborn" he exclaimed loudly
"What happened?"
"I just don't think we are going to work out"
Tashio put his arms around him, and held him tightly to his chest
"Why'd you say that?"
"He's being such an ass! Everything is so hot and cold"
Tashio sighed, opening his mouth to speak but shutting it quickly, he let his thoughts swirl.
"You need to take it slowly kid" Tashio said softly
He looked up at his father, his face marred by a frown. He sighed and pulled himself from him,
"Dad I-"
"Hear me out! It's been awhile since you two have been around each other, let alone in the same room! Take it slowly, and let nature take its course"
Inuyasha rubbed his face and folded his arms "I don't know dad! I think he's into someone else and maybe I was just pushing things"
"You two were so in love in highschool! That kind of love doesn't just disappear, give it time"
He hummed, taking comfort in his fathers arms. They stayed still for a moment, enjoying the comfort they provided each other.
Sesshomaru sat on the edge of the bed cradling his head in his hand as he sat in silence allowing a heavy sigh to leave his body. Guilt blooming in his chest, he heard a soft knock and looked over to the door; he watched the door open revealing a familiar pair of ruby eyes
"Damn that was fast" Kagura chuckled, holding her suitcase in hand walking over to the sullen alpha demon.
He rolled his eyes as she placed her bag on the floor, watched her walk over to him.
"Inuyasha said you yelled at him" she chuckled shaking her head
He scowled and looked over to her before saying bitterly "So instead of handling his business, he ran to daddy to fix his fucking problems"
She looked over to him slightly taken back she pressed his lips together and said "You're not wrong, but I thought you two were cool"
He sighed raising to his feet, he paced the floor as his feet banged against the wooden floor, he said "One minute I can't keep my hands off him and the next I'm telling him off, I don't know Kags" He racked his hands through his hair.
She nodded moving into the middle of the bed, crossing her legs as she watched him struggle with his feelings.
"I think that you still love him" she said pointedly
"It's been years Kagura" he said rolling his eyes
"So! Look Sesshomaru, what you and Inuyasha had was intense and deep! You were madly in love-"
"And he left me" he said angrily cutting her off
"Let me finish!" she said firmly, earning a glare, she rolled her eyes and continued "You were madly in love with him and he broke your heart but those feelings don't just conveniently disappear because you're angry with him! I think a part of you will always love him, but you need to decide if you want to hear him out or if you want to move on"
He huffed "You make it sound so easy"
She chuckled, crossing her arms "I know but do me a favour will ya?"
He looked over to her a frown marring his perfect face, "What?"
"Don't let him change you, you're the most sincere, solid person I know. I mean don't get me wrong, you're a fucking mess but you've never been cruel!" she said gingerly smiling at him
He sighed, looking away from her and said softly "I know I said some pretty rank shit but he acts like owns me! He looks at me with those fucking big eyes and I'm a goner" he shook his head, feeling his throat tighten as tears stung his eyes
"I hate how weak I feel around him" he said angrily
She nodded listening to the demon try and make sense of his feeling, she sighed and pushed herself off the bed. Walking over to the rambling demon, she wrapped her arms around his large frame and whispered "You're only a man, Sesshomaru, and no one stands a chance when it comes to love! I mean look at me. I started fucking a married man, in his office whose twice my age"
He chucked as she hugged him tightly, his head resting against her shoulder.
"You fuck him in his office?" he asked whistling lowly
"Mhm and believe me it won't be happening for quite awhile" she muttered annoyingly
"Trouble in paradise" he asked holding her in place
"He fucking kicked me out of our room for his freaking man child son"
He laughed, pulling away from her. He looked down at his friend and sighed taking her small hands into his and said sweetly "Well he's clearly never met Hurricane Kagura"
She smiled evilly, cocking her eyebrow, as he pulled her towards the door. He chuckled as he walked into the hallway hearing pots clang, they walked down the stairs in silence, the reached the bottom of the steps revealing Naraku and Koga fluttering around the kitchen, and Tashio sitting in the living room with Inuyasha nuzzled into his side as he read some looked over at Naraku, walking over to the island Kagura in tow. They sat on the stools, as Koga turned to look at them shooting them a glare, he cocked his eyebrow and looked over to Kagura.
"You got a problem Wolf" Kagura seethed
Naraku turned around and looked over at his sister and his best friend before saying "You promised no drama"
"You trying being stuck in a room with the same man that left you via fucking post it note and see if you can keep that promise" he grumbled
"Sesshomaru-"Koga started glaring at the demon
"Don't even finish that sentence Wolf, or my fist will be rammed down your throat"
"Gross I don't even know where your hands have been"
Naraku chuckled, earning a glare from his twin sister.
She smirked leaning on the counter, looking mischievously at the wolf demon "Say Koga, Ginta's your cousin right?"
Koga looked over to Kagura, and said pointedly "Yes, why you want to fuck him too or maybe his dad"
She laughed and said haughty "Oh i'm not interested in my brothers sloppy seconds"
Naraku looked over at his sister with wide eyes, his mouth gaping like a fish as he looked over to the wolf demon. Frantically putting the spoon down and walking over to the blue eyed beauty
"Uhm Babe-" Naraku began
"You fucked my cousin" Koga said appalled looking over to the spider demon
"It was years ago, I think it was in high school" Naraku rambled
"In highschool? So you noticed him but not me" Koga whispered turned away from the pleading spider demon
"Don't do that" he said rolling his eyes, watching his best friend hold the beta in place
Koga frowned opening his mouth to speak before he cut him off
"You were being a dick! So you earned that, but Naraku's past isn't your business neither is Kagura's! You have no right to pass judgement on us and you certainly didn't have dibs on Nara because you were infatuated with him in highschool. He's giving you a chance now, don't ruin it by being an idiot" he said firmly
Koga bit his lip tears gathering, as he moved from the island counter, turning his back on the pair and continuing to chop the vegetables loudly in front of him.
Naraku let out a breath, choosing to leave the wolf demon alone, giving him some time to cool off. He looked over to his sister, his ruby eyes burning with anger.
"What the fuck Kagura!" he said harshly
She examined her nails nonchalantly and said "Mhm not nice is it"
"You did that to get back at me" Naraku said haughty crossing his arms
"I did that because Virgin Mary over there was looking at OUR friend like he did something wrong because Houdini aired out his dirty laundry"
Naraku shook his head and said "So you decided to hurt him?"
She sighed, hopping off the chair "I decided to bring the little bitch back down to reality, and just so were clear the only person here deliberately hurting anyone is you!"
They watched her walk towards the door, flinching as she slammed it loudly.
He looked over to his friend crossing his arms, raising a slender eyebrow in his direction. He cocked his head, as he stared at him down. Earning a sigh from the raven haired man, he watched the spider demon turn around and continue to cook in silence.
Sesshomaru watched the pair move around each other in silence, Naraku stealing glances as Koga rewarded his effort with an icy stare. He hopped off the bar stool, and walked over to the living room, sitting in the chair adjacent to two inu demons. He looked over to Inuyasha cuddled into his fathers side while the larger demon stared intensely into the book held in his hand. He reached over to the remote and flicked aimlessly through the channels.
"Hey! I was watching that" Inuyasha whined huffing annoyingly
He rolled his eyes at the beta's pouty behaviour, continuing to flip through the channels.
"Seriously Sesshomaru I was watching that"
He looked over to Inuyasha, a drool look sat on his face as he shook his head at his behaviour as he held the remote tightly.
"I'm just searching for something for all of us to watch Inuyasha" he said trying to quell the frustration bubbling in his body.
"You're just trying to pick a fight! All you've done today is tell me off"
He bit the inside of his mouth stifling a sigh, a small chuckle leaving his body as he pointed the remote at the TV, continuing his search.
"Right and classically, at the first sign of trouble you run away" he chuckled bitterly
"I don't just run away" Inuyasha said surging forward, and standing in front of him hands on his hips as his continued "I just know when to give up"
He shook his head and crossed his arms looking up at the angry beta, he leaned back and licked his lips dryly.
"So you're giving up then?" he questioned eyebrow cocked
Inuyasha raised his hands, waving them frustratedly as he spoke "You're fucking hot and cold! Everything is a game to you and I don't know what else I can say but fuck I want off this emotional rollercoaster Sesshomaru"
He rolled his eyes, hardened molten gold peering into confused honey hazel ones. He said "So you were lying before? When you said that you love me and how sorry you are, that you'd do anything to prove to me that thing will be different"
"I've been try-" Inuyasha began
"No you haven't! You just expected me to fall back into your arms, and accept whatever fucked reason you have for disappering. I'm not the same pathetic little boy who craved your love anymore" he said hotly, as he leaned forward before continuing "You can't just come into my life and expect me to run after you! I've been doing fine on my own and I've built a life for myself, so if you want to be in my life,If you want to be with me, EARN ME" he shouted causing the beta to jump
He sighed, shaking his head "If you are just going to give up at the first sign of trouble Inuyasha, don't even try! If you're just going to walk away AGAIN! Don't even try!" he said firmly, swallowing the lump forming in his throat.
He recoiled back into the chair, crossing his leg as he tried to focus on the TV in front him. He refused to watch the turmoil that crossed the tan beta's face as he tried to process the alpha's words
"Sesshomaru I love you and -" Inuyasha began before he cut him off
"Prove it!" he said finally, turning his body from him.
He looked away from Inuyasha, allowing his final words to hang in the air of doubt and longing. He left the ball in Inuyasha court, wanting to see what the beta would do with the new information provided. He had been conflicted with his feelings for the snowy haired half demon, half of him wanting nothing more than to sheath himself inside of the tan beauty and the other half was clouded in anger and pain. He knew that Kagura was right, that he still loved him, of course he did but he didn't trust him. He felt as if Inuyasha would run away whenever things got hard, and he had been right, the beta had turned his back on him again! Unbeknownst to the beta, he had thoroughly enjoyed their recent intimate moment and found himself falling into old habits easier than he liked to admit but the sex part was easier than letting him into his heart again. He shuddered at the memory of the pain the beta had caused, the feeling of abandonment crept into his chest whenever he looked into his hazel eyes.
He knew he didn't have the strength to walk away from him, so instead he would allow the half demon to make the choice for him.
He trained his eyes onto the movie appearing on the TV, before he heard the front door open roughly. He watched the ruby eyed demon kick off her shoes and walked over to them. He shot out his hand to grab her pale arm softly, he moved slightly allowing her to sit beside him settled into his side. She gave him a sad look before resting her head on his shoulder.
They watched Naraku and Koga place dinner onto the table, some plastic cups and plates were huddled on the side. He watched everyone pick, and fill their plates as he opted to simply watch the movie. As the opening credits started, the fireplace roared to life as he heard someone clear their throat. He looked over to the sofa, watching Tashio shuffle his plate awkwardly looking over at the wind demoness, he chuckled knowingly.
"Princess I have some room on this side" Tashio said pointing towards his left
Kagura looked over her ruby eyes shrouded with hurt, she shook her head and simply said "Looks a little crowded Your Honor, and I wouldn't want to intrude"
Tashio sighed, placing his plate in his lap, his head slightly dipped as he tried to hide his sense of rejection. He ate in silence stealing glances at the raven haired beauty, he knew that he'd certainly screwed up but felt torn between helping his son though his obvious issues and having Kagura as a priority. He came all this way to spend time with her, trying to deepen their bond past stolen moments, he was more than eager to continue his relationship with fiery beauty. She had healed parts of himself that he had ignored, letting them quietly throb; she had reignited the passion in his heart. She was his addiction; he craved her touch, the feel of her skin, and the way she fit around him perfectly. He couldn't lose her, but he felt as if he had already neglected Inuyasha, allowing his bitch of an ex wife to sow seeds of hate, the young man suffered without him. He sighed, feeling lost; a sad smile tugged at his lips, normally he turned to Kagura when he was feeling this way.
The remainder of the night passed along uneventful, the group tired from their travels. They watched the movie in silence, allowing the fire to burn and fill the space with warmth. The amber light brightened the room, as the midnight sky shined behind heavy curtains. The credits rolled, and everyone shuffled in silence, as he opted to pick up the discarded plastic plates. He watched his son walk into his bedroom, and bit the inside of his cheek as he pushed the pots into the sink. He looked up at Inuyasha as he saw him drag his luggage back upstairs, stopping to lock eyes with him, he nodded at him as he watched him jog up the stairs.
He continued to clean the pots, his body tense with anxiety as his thoughts raced through his mind. The living room had been abandoned, each couple moving into their rooms, getting ready for their selective night routines. He allowed a sigh to release from his chest as his hands moved robotically, soap covered his tan clawed hands. He sunk the pot into the soapy water allowing the silver material to submerge into, he was lost in his thoughts. The sound of the rushing water blocking any sound from his ears, he stared at the wall, his honey hazel eyes clouded as he allowed himself to sink further into himself further
He turned off the water, and dried his hands slowly. His feet moved on their own, pushing himself forward toward his room. He pushed the door open, the darkness of the room greeted him, the silence surrounded him eerily. He swallowed the lump forming in his throat as he walked over to the bed, he sat softly on the edge, eyes trained onto the floor as he sat still fighting the seldom feeling that began to creep into his ears twitched at the sound of small feet, his head picking up as he stood up sniffing the air, the scent of cinnamon filling his senses and warming his chest. He watched the door open revealing the small curvy wind sorceress, her raven hair pulled into a tight bun small tendril framing her face, his breath hitched at the sight of her in his large sweater. He willed his feet moving towards her like she was magnetic, he watched her close the door behind her and walk over to the other side of the room quietly. He stopped as she moved away from him, he felt a small sting, he sighed and faced her.
"Princess I-" he whispered quietly
"You don't have to explain yourself Toga" she said numbly as she searched through her bag
He frowned at the sound of her voice, her normally warm voice dripped of ice, causing him to shudder. He watched her attentively, she refused to look in his direction.
"Can you please look at me?" he asked, approaching her, walking closer to her. He stood behind her, the moonlight spilling into the room bouncing off her beautiful skin, he reached out to touch her watching her tense at the feel of his hand on her shoulder.
"Please Princess" he repeated earnestly
"It's fine, okay, I get it now " she said, shrugging him off, picking up a small t-shirt and a clean pair of panties. She moved towards the bathroom conjoined to their bedroom, turning on the light in the large bathroom, she faced the mirror as he followed her into the bathroom.
Leaning on the doorframe he asked "Get what?"
She sighed and said softly "My place"
He frowned, not understanding he walked over to her standing behind her as she removed her makeup, revealing her true beauty. He looked into the mirror peering into her crimson eyes that dulled, as tears threatened to fall from them
"I don't understand, what place?" he asked
She looked up in the mirror, looking into his honey hazel eyes for the first time since he laid eyes on her.
"I stupidly thought that I meant something to you, but I'm just some hole for you to fuck. To discard whenever you want; a toy to put down when you are busy. I get it now, my place is under you with my mouth shut" she said numbly as tears spilled from her eyes.
He sucked in a breath at the sound of her voice, each word cutting into his heart as he watched her cry.
"Kagura I-"
"May I please shower and get dressed or would you like to watch? Since I'm nothing but pure entertainment" she said numbly, not bothering to look at him.
He swallowed the lump forming in his throat, and he shuffled out of the bathroom. He crossed the threshold, turning around to face her before she slammed the door in his face. He stared at the door listening to the sound of the shower, he let out a strangled sound.
He allowed her words to sink into his mind, choking at the bile that was rising in his throat. Had he really been so selfish, pushing her needs aside? Had he really made her feel as if she was some human fleshlight er demon? He hadn't been thinking when Inuyasha came downstairs, eyes filled with tears, he simply acted on instinct, he was his son, what else was he supposed to do? He eagerly rushed her out of the room, pushing her through the doorway and throwing the bag on the floor to comfort his son.
"My place is under you with my mouth shut" rang through his mind on a loop.
He was in love with her, and he would certainly admit that the majority of their relationship had been physical. He had been starved for affection when he met Kagura, the raven haired beauty allowed him to touch her, to hide himself inside of her until dawn. He eagerly jumped at the chance to finally be loved by a woman, he spent many nights bathing in her beauty surrounded tightly by her bare sex. He had spent so many years quietly tucking that part of himself away, to be a good father, a good husband and a good provider but with Kagura all he had to be was himself. She accepted the ugliness of him, the secrets he hid from everyone including Inuyasha! She didn't slink away from him when he admitted how he struggled with sobriety;the alcohol drove the pain away and numbed him past recollection, and when she witnessed his inner turmoil she kissed his pain and allowed him to take his pleasure inside of her.
He ran to her whenever he felt unaligned and like clockwork she would say happily "Whatever you need Tash", and he took it from her, his happiness laid between her legs but that didn't mean that he didn't love her! He made love to her constantly because he wanted to show her how much he loved her, truly! Sex wasn't something his ex wife enjoyed with him, she didn't care for intimacy but Kagura knew his needs and offered herself up whenever he wanted.
He shook his head, racking his brain, trying to figure out how he could've hurt her. The woman who he needed more than air, who smiled at him sincerely, held him closely and loyally loved him. His head fell into his hands as he remembered the one time she had asked anything of him, it had been months before Inuyasha had returned late night, he had snuck out and met her after her late night shift at the diner! He had taken her to a motel in the Village, they ate bad thai food and watched black and white movies before he kissed her tenderly. She had looked at him so sweetly, kissing him as if he had been the only man in the crimson eyes shined as she looked at him, she laid before him naked and vulnerable and asked softly "Just don't hurt me okay".
He rubbed his face, his emotions bubbling in his chest as the bathroom door opened. Her small frame hidden behind a small t-shirt that cradled under her breast, showing off her taunt stomach. She wore plain red panties that barely covered her delicious pussy, her thighs completely bare. She walked over to her bag, turned her back to him showing over her plump ass that jiggled as she shifted her weight. He gnawed at his lip as he shot up hurriedly, his large legs closing any distance between them, he roughly grabbed her spinning her around. Startled, she let out a strangled sound, he roughly pushed her against the wall and pressed his body against her's, her eyes widened in shock as his large hands wrapped around her waist.
"Tashio-"
"I love you! I'm in love with you, completely and irrevocably. I know that I've been selfish okay, that I've made you feel like you are some sort of sex toy, but you aren't Kagura! You hold my heart in your tiny little hands! I shouldn't have just pushed you out earlier and I know that I have a hard time with boundaries when it comes to my son but I just need some time to adjust okay! I've spent so long at war with my ex wife, I'm not used to having a partner that supports me. I'm sorry, I am so very sorry" he said eagerly, watching her turn her head, he sighed tucking his finger under her chin forcing her to look at him. He nearly choked at the sight of tears that began to pool in her large doe like eyes.
"Don't cry Princess, I feel like my heart is going to drop out of my ass"
She chuckled, a snort-like laugh rising from her throat as she shook her head. His hand raised to her face wiping the tears that began to fall from her eyes.
"I know that you've been so patient with me, and I don't deserve it but I need you! I can't do this without you! I promise that you'll always be the only woman in my life, and I will work my ass of to have some kind of balance between you and the kid but I need time"
She looked up at him, he sucked in a breath as her ruby eyes finally looked at him
"You made me feel like some cheap hooker Tash, I mean I had just had your cock in my mouth and then you shove me off of you, out of the room and throw my shit on the floor" she said softly, fresh tears pooling in her eyes, her pouty lips trembling.
"I know, I handled that badly! I panicked hearing Inuyasha's voice, and I swear it won't happen again" he said sincerely
She hummed shuffling her feet shyly, "I don't really feel like having sex right now" she said quietly
He sighed, guilt blooming in his chest. He bent down,grabbing the back of her thighs and picking her up. Her legs wrapped around his waist, he pushed her head into his neck, his hand tangled into her hair.
"Oh princess, I'm so sorry! I don't expect you to spread your legs for me and I'm ashamed that I've made you feel like that! You're everything to me; clothes off and on" he said walking over to the bed, he gently placed her in the middle of the bed. He felt her eyes watch him gingerly as he took off his shirt, and pants; grabbing a fresh pair of boxers and jumping into them.
He crawled into the bed, laying beside her. He pulled her into his chest holding her tightly, inhaling her scent eagerly.
"I love you princess, so fucking much" he said gripping her thighs moving them, he wanted to be wrapped around her. Craving the weight of her body on his, he searched her perfect face watching her shyly look away from him.
He frowned, and said "Princess?"
She swallowed the lump in her throat and said quietly "I'm uhm not good at the whole crying vulnerable thing"
He shook his head understanding, he placed a kiss on her forehead, on her temple, on her cheek and finally on her lips. He kissed her s weetly, quelling the desire that nestled inside of him.
He held her quietly, silently vowing to show his beautiful girlfriend how much he loved her this week.
Inuyasha stared at the ceiling as Sesshomaru scribbled in his notebook; the alpha had been quiet since he had returned to the room. Barely acknowledging his existence, he allowed his mind to wander back to their conversation or argument whatever it was. The silver haired demon has told him to "earn him", he frowned at the thought; simply because he was confused on how to do it or what that even meant. Earn him? How exactly was he supposed to do that, it wasn't like Sesshomaru came with instructions and it was clear that he has changed over the years. He was more surly, but yet also more affectionate; he was a complete oxymoron.
Although that was exactly what he loved about him. The argent haired beauty was this tower of force built of solid mass, standing at six foot seven, he was massive! The demon looked terrifying with a consistent scowl etched into his face but although his presence was imposing,he was sensitive, quiet and shy. He loved how passionate and artistic Sesshomaru was, his ability to create something out of nothing was inspiring and the sound of his voice was beautiful; he remembered how many times he had fallen asleep to the sound of the alpha singing, the soft timbre of his voice lulled him to a blissful slumber.
The stoic demon captured his heart effortlessly, and even though they were an ocean apart he left his heart in Harlem. He had tried to move on and forget about those citrine eyes, he had dated and pushed him into the back of his mind but no one compared to the alpha demon, no one made him feel the way he did! Sesshomaru made him weak in the knees, he made his heart race; the alpha demon quelled every negative thought that drifted into his mind, kissed every wound and fought any battle. He protected him; he spent many nights wrapped in the alpha's strong arm. His attraction to the demon had frightened him; he hadn't come out when they started dating and Sesshomaru had been understanding, keeping their relationship quiet until he was ready. The free spirited demon loved him quietly, shooting him heated glances and waiting for him blocks away from school, waiting until after their day to embrace him.
He certainly hadn't had any sexual experience prior to meeting the argent haired beauty, he would stumble through their intimate moments but instead of teasing him or pushing him past his limit, the demon had taught him how to kiss,whispering words of encouragement whenever he felt embarrassed. He showed him where to kiss him, and how to touch him, allowing him to explore his body at his own pace. When they made love for the first time, he had took his time with him allowing him to ask questions and although it had taken a few tries he had eventually felt the stoic beauty inside him and at the moment he was ruined for anyone else; the feel of him etched into his mind and body
He sat up allowing his mind to race, the alpha demon was right! He had built this new life without him and it had been years since they'd even had a conversation let alone shared a room together. He wanted to get reacquainted with the demon; but the idea of being friends and slowly working his way back into his heart made him sullen! Selfishly he didn't want to wait that long, he wanted to feel his lips on his body, hold the demon closely to him.
With some resolve, he began to formulate a plan. He would spend the week trying to etch himself into Sesshomaru's "new life" and allow them to truly get to know each other again, he was determined to make some sort of progress before they arrived back into the city. It was clear that Sesshoamru was still seeing the red haired demon and he needed to at least show him what they could be if he gave him another chance.
He turned to the demon, peering over his shoulder "Whatcha writing?" he asked quietly
Sesshomaru didn't move, and continued writing. He held back a sigh, trying to appear patient while the alpha demon continued his task.
"Songwriting"
He hummed, and bounced off the bed, walking over to the dresser grabbing his Ipad.
"Do you prefer to write in private?" he asked bouncing on the balls of his feet
Golden eyes looked up at him, he watched Sesshomaru put the pen down, and watch him intensely.
"It's fine" Sesshomaru said nonchalantly watching him walk back over to the bed
"What's the song about?" he asked sitting up against the backboard
"You wanna talk about my music" Sesshomaru asked eyebrow cocked
"Yeah, Naraku mention you've got a show coming up"
"Yeah in January"
He shot him a smile "That's exciting, I'd be shitting my pants"
Sesshomaru chuckled "The songs about you"
He looked over at the demon, blush creeping on his face as he tried on to freak out, he bit his lip anxiously as he wracked his brain for an answer.
"Well I'm looking forward to hearing it, you're crazy talented"
Sesshomaru hummed watching him, entertaining himself on his IPad, he cocked his eyebrow.
"Are you playing Candy Crush"
He laughed nervously "Yeah it helps me sleep actually"
"Trouble sleeping?"
"Yeah still adjusting to the time zone ya know"
"What's the difference again"
He looked up at Sesshomaru, honey golden eyes shined in the darkness, he closed the device and chucked into the middle of the bed.
"Like a whole day" he laughed
"Shit, had no idea"
"You should visit someday, it's actually really beautiful"
Sesshomaru shook his head, folding his legs and facing him "Mhm Paris is first on my list"
He hummed non committedly "Do you want to play a game?"
"Candy crush?"
He laughed "No ah 20 questions?"
Sesshomaru shrugged, nodding his head, moving to pull off his shirt, trying to gain more comfort.
"Ah alright, I'll uhm go first" he said his mouth suddenly dry, he sucked in a breath before continuing "Those are new? How many tattoos do you"
Sesshomaru looked down to his chest, the artwork spilling onto his chest, and cascading down his arm. He hummed, showing off the piece twisting his body towards him giving him a closer look.
"I have three but two are large pieces"
He held his hand up and touched the black ink design that was weaved into his skin, he admired the fine lines that stretched through the alpha's tricep, downwards towards his wrist and hand.
"Is there any meaning behind it" he asked inching his face closer towards the alabaster skin
"It's Ta Moko, a traditional Maori tattoo. These lines represent my rank within my family on my mothers side"
He delicately traced the lines that appeared on his skin, the black ink contrasted perfectly on the alabaster skin. He watched goosebumps raise in his wake as he trailed his arm loving the soft feeling of the blemish free skin under his fingertips.
"It's beautiful" he whispered
Sesshomaru nodded, enjoying the feeling of the beta's fingers grazing his forearm. "How was Cambridge?" Sesshomaru asked lowly
He looked up at the older demon searching the other man's face for any sign of anger or pain. He knew the specific topic had been sensitive, and he had avoided any conversation stemming from his time out in England. He chewed this inside of his cheek trying to formulate his words carefully, not wanting to upset the alpha.
"It was fine, I graduated with honors" he said simply
"That's it?" Sesshomaru pressed looking at him intensely
He pressed his lips into a fine line "What do you want to know?"
Rolling his eyes, Sesshomaru said "Tell me about it! What did you do, where'd you go?"
He sighed, giving in "Well I studied Political Sciences, that was my major and I minored in Creative Industries. It was hard at first, not really knowing anyone and the culture is way different! Everyone's so snobby and proper" he laughed.
Nodding his head, Sesshomaru asked " Did you like it?"
He looked up at the demon, his face soured, he cleared his throat and whispered "If I say yes, will you hate me"
Sesshomaru chuckled, leaning his back into the headboard, golden eyes shielded behind alabaster lids. He watched the demon's chest rise and fall as he sat still, he allowed his eyes to roam across the alpha's perfect chiseled chest.
"It's a huge part of who you are and we'll have to talk about it some time" Sesshomaru honestly
He nodded and shyly said "I loved the campus, it was huge and kinda looked like Hogwarts. The library and the gym was massive"
"Did you join any teams? You played basketball here"
He smiled brightly "Yeah actually I joined their lacrosse team, I actually have a picture of me with the team" he said happily, grabbing his phone off the nightstand and pulling the save pictures.
"See this person here, that's Karla she was our co team capitan"
Sesshomaru looked at the photo, and a group of muddy demons smiled back. Inuyasha stood in front, his hair pulled back into a loose braid, wearing a blue and white jersey. He held a trophy, his bright smile beaming as he knelt on the muddy grass a grey dreary sky glaring down at the excited team.
"I'm guessing you were also co captain"
"Yeah how'd you know?"
"You've never been good at taking orders" Sesshomaru teased knowingly
He scoffed, rolling his eyes "I can take direction just fine" he said pouting, folding his arms across his chest
"Really? So you allowed this Karla person to take point" Sesshomaru challenged smirking at the flustered beta.
He opened his mouth ready to speak, only closing it firmly afterwards. He sat and thought of his time with his team and tried to come up with any sort of example.
Sesshomaru laughed as blush crept onto his cheeks "Mhm that's what I thought! " he smirked
He bit the inside of his cheek, and huffed "I'm not that difficult"
"I never said you were difficult, I said you don't take orders! Only in certain situations" Sesshomaru shrugged
His ears picked up, as he looked back over to the alpha demon "What situations?"
Sesshomaru leaned closer to the beta, allowing his lips to barely touch the half demon's furry ear "You loved to be bossed around whenever we'd have sex" Sesshomaru laughed
His blush deepend as he shoved the alpha playfully "Oh fuck you" he said
"I'm sure you'd love too" Sesshomaru laughed
He watched the demon laugh wholeheartedly, his argent hair thrown back as he clenched his chest, fine lines appeared beside his mouth as brightness shined in his eyes. He smiled at the scene in front of him, enjoying the lightness surrounding the normally stoic demon, he missed the sound of the demon's laughter. He wanted nothing more than to continue to bathe in the sound of his laughter, be the reason he smiled. He remained still as he pulled his bottom lip between his teeth, his eyes memorizing the movement in his body,each magenta strip that wrapped perfectly around his wrists, and chest. He stared at the ones that sat on his waist, slightly peeking through his sweatpants, the alabaster beauty looked perfect, his pale skin shining in the darkness of the room.
"What are you staring at?" Sesshomaru asked
He looked up into golden eyes and smiled before whispering "You, porcelain"
Oh looks like trouble in paradise for Tashio and Kagura; Naraku and Koga as well!
Inuyashas finally figuring Sesshomaru out, let's hope they can find some common ground!
