Jennifer. Haleokeawe: I knoww, Im sorrryyy~~ hahaha. That always happens, stuff gets so good and then its 'to be continued forever.' Can't help it. Its all unintentional. Hope you enjoy this for now. Thanks for the review!
Sherryfanfic1999: I'm terrified about their parents finding out, I mean they haven't even married yet and the boys are already spewing trouble. Sessho's in deep trouble if his dad ever finds out. His dad already has issues that sessho isn't getting along with inu…he'll likely think Sessho bullied and raped Inu. (Animals showing dominance their own way XDD). I …don't think InuT will have the power to actually sniff out whose pups they are. How the pregnancy will go…that time will tell haha. (it wouldn't be fun if it was too smooth though ;P) I don't think they can get married-no wait what, that's in the LONG run. Their secret merely started and I'm just as curious as you are to find out what happens next. Thanks for the review!
SesshomaruXinuyashalover: hey! Glad you're loving it so far! Thanks for the ideas! So, Inu probably doesn't have any more friends than the usual gang so he probably won't get that feedback from anyone. That's good for us, coz we could keep the story going slowly BUT there is someone else who'll show up and notice he's pregnant… (can't tell you who yet :D) Thanks for the review!
KLS-Blueskies: Well then there's a bond already, this story has found you (or you found it). Wow, now I'm gonna remember that, your birthday's are on the same day as this story's anniversary. I'm glad its to your liking. Thanks for the review!
Disclaimer: in first chapter.
Just wanted to say- bcoz I don't think I got a chance before: thanks for all the love and support and we've only started! It's amazing! You guys are the besttt
Chapter 6:
"Well anyway, I should be off too now. Later mom!" Inuyasha called out from the front door.
"Have fun~" His mom retaliated.
The teen was walking to school on his own this morning, feeling better than most of his recent mornings. He hummed and stared down at his phone for most of the path until he noticed something drop in the side of his vision. Inu glanced at the side of the cross walk to recognize a credit card on the ground. Instantly looking behind him, he found a man walking away while a hand returning to his side.
"Uh, hey! I think you just dropped your card." The hanyo picked up the plastic card and waved it to the tall curly haired man. The male calmly turned around, revealing no interest or expression at first. Inu walked up to the guy, holding out the credit card. "It's your's isn't it?"
"Why, yes it is. Thanks." The brunette retrieved the item with a short smile. His expression fell again when he noted something peculiar about the teen. 'Is that two spiritual energies radiating from one entity…?' He reviewed as he stared down at the younger. "What's your name?"
"Huh? Oh, Inuyasha."
"Well then Inuyasha-kun, since you've done me a huge favor, I'd like to repay you if that's alright. How about lunch or breakfast?"
"Nah, it's okay—that was nothing. Anyway, I gotta get going or else I'll be late for school." The white haired began to turn back onto his direction.
"I insist. Perhaps I can catch you some other time?"
"Um…"
"You mentioned school, it doesn't happen to be the one nearby here, does it? What was it… D.W. High?"
"Yeah, that. But really, its no biggie. Later!" The teen waved and picked up the pace before he really was late.
'Ah, I didn't get to ask his name… ah, whatever.'
Sesshomaru stretched his arms once and caught a glimpse at the time in his room. 2:30 PM. It seemed like an ideal time to take a break from his research paper and stretch his legs—perhaps even grab a bite to eat. He assembled his papers in a neat pile on his desk and turned down his laptop.
'2:30 PM…aren't high schoolers also dismissed around this time…?' The silverette pondered, making it down the steps to the front door where he gathered his long coat. Walking to his parked silver car, he noticed the driver standing by their spare black one. "Are you going to pick the hanyo up?"
"Why…yes, I normally would… But Inuyasha-sama insisted that he come home by himself." The driver answered.
'That does sound like him.' "It's alright, I'll pick him up." The teen decided out of nowhere, making a hand gesture towards the other.
The driver was taken aback for a brief moment. "Are you sure young master?" The demon nodded and took out his car keys.
"Should we head straight home? Or stop for a bite?" Miroku questioned the rest of the gang as they walked out the school building into the front grounds.
"I have things to do at home today, so I'm probably going to go straight home." Kagome was the first to answer.
"Hey guys, do you recognize that silver car over there? I don't think I've ever seen it before." Sango directed their attention towards a silver sport's car parked across the street from the gates of their institution. As did the others, Inuyasha stole a glance at the said car and immediately grimaced.
"I needa hide." He said as soon as a tall figure stepped out from the front seat and leaned against the vehicle. "Someone cover me." The hanyo took shelter behind Miroku's shoulders.
"Uh, he's looking straight at us." The brunette stated in a matter of fact way.
The white-haired only groaned. "Ugh, why is he here?"
"Wow his hair is so long –just like yours Inuyasha!" Kagome squealed. "Wait, you know him?"
"Keep it down, dumbass." Inu hissed.
"Too late, it looks like he's ready to come over here." Sango updated as they watched him turn his head both ways before attempting to cross the street.
"Ack!" 'No I don't want him coming here. The last thing I need is more commotion. Shit! No helping it!' "Sorry guys, I'll leave first then!" The teen called out and ran towards the car.
"Why are you here?" Inu demanded as he stopped two feet away from the elder, who looked at him with an unbothered expression.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm picking you up."
"I didn't ask you to—I don't wanna be picked up."
"Get in." The demon simply ordered and made his way to the driver's seat without waiting for another response.
"Hey, hold on!" 'He's not listening at all!' Inu fumed. He watched as the front passenger window on his side rolled down.
"Would you like me to embarrass you before your entire school?" The younger sucked in an irritated breath and swung the passenger door open, ultimately slamming it close.
"Who's that?" Kagome blurted.
"Inuyasha's step brother I suppose." Miroku responded.
"It's odd, they aren't blood-related, yet they look so much alike." Sango quietly pointed out.
Inuyasha sat in the front seat with a silent sullen expression. Who cares if this was awkward? It couldn't have been any worse.
The silverette breached the silence first, amazing the hanyo. "Are you hungry?"
Inuyasha hid the surprise. "No, I'm not—" Growl. "—freakin' hungry." The half-breed cursed his innate being. Sesshomaru found himself smirking at that. He stirred the wheel around and brought them to his preferred restaurant.
As they stepped out of the car, the younger surveyed the place. 'Looks high class…' The demon was apparently a regular, so the waiters greeted him automatically and showed them to a table secluded from the others. The menus already sat on the table, prompting the hanyo to peek.
'Ack…' The younger inwardly shuddered. The prices had way too many digits for a 'normal lunch.'
"Should I bring the usual, Sesshomaru-san?" A waitress inquired.
"Yes, but make it two."
"Understood." The young girl bowed and left.
"What the? Do you always come to these kinda places for a bite?" Inuyasha had to ask.
Sesshomaru took a sip of cold water from his glass. "These kind of places?"
"Expensive as hell!"
"Of course, why not?"
'Lucky bastard.' Inu envied.
Their long-awaited food finally arrived, and it looked like a perfect balance of greens, meat and carbs. A little too perfect for Inuyasha's liking.
"Are you a child?" the elder's voice rang in his ear mid-way into their meal.
"Huh?" The teen curiously looked up.
"Why are you shoving all the vegetables to the side."
"Eh? Geez, what's it to you? I just don't feel like eating them." The hanyo frowned.
"Right." It was a simple word, yet the younger could hear the heavy sarcasm in it.
"Okay then, do you want them instead?" He playfully scooped up a bunch with his forks and dumped them onto the other's plate, who immediately scowled at the action.
"Behave yourself, half-breed." Sesshomaru was trying everything in his power from smacking the teen then and there. 'Seriously, what an insensate child. How on earth was he even having a child in the first place?' That thought choked the silverette arbitrarily. It was like a sudden realization—no, reminder again of the huge mess they created.
"Meh, but this is pretty out of character isn't it?" The younger pulled the other out from his morbid thoughts.
"What is?"
"I don't know… this… you picking me up, …taking me out…" Sesshomaru furrowed his brows again, realizing it was indeed a bit out of his character, especially since it seemed like he was trying to get along with his 'brother,' an extra piece of family he had no use for.(XD!) However…that wasn't entirely true anymore. This brother of his also happened to be impregnated by him and carrying his child.
"I'm leaving. Will you be able to finish that?" The elder pointed at the other's full plate.
"Huh? Hey! Slow down! At least lemme eat first!" The teen began chugging his food down, focus completely shifted.
'He's so easy to sway.'
The pure demon continued to quietly observe the teen, tracking every small crumb landing on the table. 'Did that make them mates now? No, ridiculous.'
"Doctor how is it possible for his body to reproduce? Isn't he too young for that?" Sesshomaru asked the Dr. alone.
Their Dr. half shrugged. "After puberty, anything's possible. His body won't change much, externally at least, but internally that's a different story."
The silverette sighed as his eyes lidded at the same time. 'What a mess. And this was only the beginning.'
"You're so pretty~" A foolishly smiling face of a certain white-haired teen flashed in his mind very randomly. Sesshomaru averted his eyes in annoyance. 'Why did he recall that?'
Thud. Inuyasha flinched terrifyingly when he heard an abrupt sound from somewhere in the dark behind him.
"What's your problem?! Don't scare people like that." Inu hissed to the tall figure that now joined him in the blacked out living room.
"It's your problem that you're frightened." The silverrette walked over to the couch the younger was seated. "Just what exactly are you doing?"
"Since when did you care?" The teen stuck out his tongue. "I'm watching a movie." He said, pointing to the brightly lit flat screen TV hanging from the wall. The hanyo need not look at the other's face but could imagin him making a questionable expression. The two passed another moment in dead silence while figures played out on the screen. "Urghh, I don't need this right now—just leave already."
Sesshomaru frowned. "It's my house. As if I'll be taking orders from you."
"Che." Inuyasha expected as much as he rolled his eyes until an idea struck him. "What? You wanna watch too then?" He looked up at his standing brother with a newfound expression.
"Are you joking?"
"Hey, yeah! You should do something normal for a change!" The teen wasn't listening at all and scooted over on the sofa with a popcorn bowl in his hands. The demon continued to stand, apparently speechless from the sudden change in mood, but then again this was Inuyasha they were talking about—he's as random as they get. "Well?"
'Walk away.' It was that easy. That's all Sesshomaru had to do. 'Walk away, now. This was all useless.' His mind kept telling him, yet he took a step inward and dropped himself soundly on the couch. He heard the younger let out a victorious chuckle.
"Wise decision~ You won't regret it." Inu grinned grabbing hold of the remote to raise the volume by a unit. "When was the last time you even watched a movie?"
"How about never. What film is this?" The pure blood leaned back into the couch.
"Wow, not surprised." The teen stuffed his face with popcorn. The silverette passed him a bothered look. "You want some?"
"No thanks." The elder coldly looked away. Inuyasha shrugged, more for him.
Twenty minutes later…
Sesshomaru was inclined to hold his face up by the sheer support of his wrist. He was utterly regretting his decision to stay and struggled to stay awake. 'This must be the most boring activity I've ever carried out in my life.' He resolved and stole a glance towards the hanyo who was wide eyed watching the movie with a chocolate bar in his hand. 'Unbelievable. He's still eating? Speaking of eating…'
The silverette lifted his cheek off his knuckles and leaned towards the teen, who instantly noticed his action. As the elder arched forward, Inuyasha inevitably tipped back. "W-what…?"
The demon halted a few inches from his face, studying the other with a silent rigid expression. Inuyasha swallowed hard, not knowing what to expect except to stare back into the unwavering golden eyes that almost glowed in the dark. True, the elder's expression was unreadable but at that very moment, looking into his eyes, he felt like a prey face to face with his predator. It was subtle, but he was certain the feeling was there.
"Have you taken your medication?" Sesshomaru calmly let out in a low voice.
"Huh?" The younger tried to process the words over his pounding heart.
"Your medicine. Surely you're taking it as directed?"
"Ah. Ahh…haha…?" Inuyasha immediately turned his face away and scratched his cheek in shame. 'Crap. He forgot to take it this evening.'
"You can't be serious." Sesshomaru straightened himself.
"Look I'm sorry—I just forgot it this evening—I swear or else I've been takin' it!" The teen desperately demonstrated while his elder brother planted a palm on his own face.
"Go take it, this instance." The younger could hear the growl in the other's tone. Inu let out a heavy sigh before forcing himself off the couch and towards the direction of the stairs.
"Party-pooper. I'm never inviting you again." The hanyo murmured on his way out. He cautiously trotted up the stairs to his room and flipped the light's switch on, eventually rummaging through his drawers to take out a paper bag with the two medications he needed. 'Ugh, I kinda hate taking this one. It makes you feel weak—vulnerable-ish.' However, that didn't change the fact that he still had to take them. Opening up the bottle of water from the side of his bed, he chugged both pills down at once. "Happy now, Sesshomaru?" He voiced out loud to himself.
The teen quietly made it back to the living room and decided now was the perfect time for a little payback. He very silently tip-toed to the couch, preparing his hands and mind to scare the daylights out of his elder brother as he approached him. The hanyo slowly loomed behind the figure and stretched forward…
"How long are you planning to take?" Sesshomaru's voice startled him instead, nearly throwing him over.
"You knew I was there? Since when?!"
"Since the moment you stepped down the stairs."
"Geez, there's just no getting along with you, is there?" The teen stepped over to his spot on the sofa.
"Hmph. Not in your lifetime." The demon actually snorted at him.
"In the mood to talk, are we?" Inu grabbed hold of a cushion and playfully smacked his arm with it.
"Don't push your luck, half-breed." The elder intimidated.
To Be Continued…
Yay, character building. I needed that coz I wanted the next chapter to be a fresh start. Oh! And who can guess who that new character is, lol! We'll see, but as usual, sorry for the delay, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter~
