Disclaimer in first chapter

Chapter 8:

"Well, you heard what the doctor said. It'll be like any other birth." Sesshomaru recapped as he sat back into the driver's seat. "He said you can consider an abortion too."

"Abortion? As in killing it?" That idea didn't sit well with Inuyasha, but neither did keeping the baby—there was no way he could raise a kid.

"Do whatever you want."

The hanyo scowled. "Don't talk like this is my problem only. What the hell do you want to do with it? I have no idea what you're thinking."

"…" Sesshomaru didn't have an answer straight away. "Like I said, whatever you do with it is fine by me. I don't care either way."

"Che. You're an asshole." The teen murmured. 'Clearly Sesshomaru had a long way to go.' "Sometimes I really wonder—do you feel anything?"

"What do you expect me to feel?"

"Uh, like emotions." Inu said it in a matter of fact way.

"I don't know what you're talking about." The silverette kept his eyes fixed on the road.

"Joy, anger, pleasure…"

"Hmph." The demon scoffed with a smirk. "I feel agitation when you're around."

"You—!"

"There is quite some joy when I crush my enemies."

"Uh…" Inuyasha was beginning to regret asking—he was beginning to fear the other now. On the flip side, at least the demon was expressing himself in more than a few words.

"And I never would've imagined you to be so pleasurable that night." Smirking, he directed his gaze towards the hanyo, who instantly flushed a shade of red.

"Sh-shut up—if it wasn't for that we wouldn't be stuck here now. You just couldn't control yourself, could you?"

"I'm sorry? According to my memory, you were the one that wouldn't stop seducing me."

"What? No! Not that again—I` mean that was only because of—" The younger was cut short by the sudden brakes.

"We're here."

"Whatever—thanks for the ride young master." Inuyasha got out of the front seat and slammed the door. Sesshomaru stared after him.

'Something about the teen was making his more attractive by the day…was it the pheromones released during pregnancy? And clearly something about himself was off, because he found himself talking more in the other's presence.'

The hanyo entered the house first and removed his shoes, hoping to also distract his darting heart and flushed face. 'I don't get him. One minute he's hating on me and the next he's flirt—teasing me. Geez calm down you!' He slapped his palm on his chest. 'What're you racing for?!' The teen stood in silence for moment. 'Despite his tongue, he's so cool...' Inu was already looking up to him as an older brother. 'He's so adept and composed—not to mention he isn't lazy at all. If he wanted to get something done, he'll do it. Just like now, he came after a long day but instantly took him to the hospital. Plus...he's just so beautiful...'

"...yasha. Half breed!" Inu snapped out of his embarrassing thoughts. "How long are you going to stand there like an idiot?" He realized he was blocking the shoe rack.

"Oh—sorry." The teen moved away instantly. The silverette raised a brow before putting his shoes away. 'No smart comeback?'

"Welcome back young masters. The mistress hasn't return yet, but shall I fix your dinner?" One of the maids stated.

"Yes, please." Sesshomaru claimed. It so happened that he had skipped lunch as well and after that was forced to accompany Inu. "I'm going to take a bath first."

"Of course. What about you, Inuyasha-sama?"

"Nah, I'll skip the bath and eat first." The teen was already looking forward to the food. All this thinking made him hungry. He washed his hands instead and took a seat on the table patiently waiting for the maid to heat their meals. On the other hand, Sesshomaru didn't take long at all. He was at the table just in time for the last dish to be placed. Inuyasha notice that he had changed into a comfortable black long-sleeved T-shirt and gray pants.

"What?" Sesshomaru asked when the other continued to stare at him.

"I'm waiting for you to hurry up and sit down so we can start eating."

This kid stunned him every single time. "Just eat." The demon finally sat down and added food to his plate. Of course, Inu didn't hold back.

"Is that all you're eating?" The demon uttered after seven minutes.

"It's less, right?"

"No, that's enough for ten people. I meant are you still eating one type of meal only? Stop acting like a child and eat the salad too."

"Oh come on, don't be my mom now."

The elder frowned and decided to ignore that remark. "Inuyasha, be wary of your condition and eat everything."

Inuyasha grimaced and refused to oblige. "Very well then." Sesshomaru accepted the challenge and signaled the maid over. He whispered a command in her ear. The teen watched curiously at first not but didn't exactly fear it. After all, what was the worst he could do? At least that's what he thought until he witnessed the maid come back with a freshly prepared thick green juice.

"Here you are, Sesshomaru-sama."

"Actually, that is for him." The demon pointed to the hanyo.

"Yes sir." She placed it in front of the teen's plate. As soon as she was out of sight, Inu turned and glared at his brother.

"You're outta your mind—I'm not drinking that!"

"You are."

"Am not. Why should I?"

"Because I said so."

"What?"

"It'll be painless if you drink it in one go." The demon convinced.

"I freakin' hate you...why do I have to drink that?"

"If you want that baby to survive."

"..." That hit the teen right on the mark. When he thought about it, he truly wasn't taking care of his diet. Perhaps this was still better than eating all those healthy things. He sucked in a breath, took hold of the glass and chugged it down. 'Ughh! It's so freakin' bitter—did they not put sugar in this?' God, he felt defeated. He banged his head on the table and kept it there for a while. "Argghh. I'm done." Finally, the teen sprung from his chair and walked away in a foul mood.

Sesshomaru wasn't going reprimand himself for something that was beneficial for the teen and the child. '…beneficial for him? That's new.'

Inuyasha was laying on his bed that evening when he heard a knock on his door. "What?" He called out. Maybe it was his mom? "Mom?"

"Inuyasha-sama." He heard a butler's voice. The teen hopped out of bed and opened the door to find the man holding a huge glass bowl of ice cream on a tray. "Your ice cream is here."

"Huh? Um, thanks but I didn't order any ice cream."

"You didn't? Oh, that's right I believe Sesshomaru-sama ordered this for you."

"He what—? I mean, thanks." He took the desert and sat on his bed again with a silver spoon in his hand. 'Mhmm~ Delicious as always, chocolate fudge… But let's not forget the matter at hand. What is he planning? Why would he randomly give me ice cream after making me drink that horrid juice—could that be it? Is this his way of apologizing?...nah, Sesshomaru? I don't think so.'

Except the true purpose kept bothering him to the point he couldn't enjoy the ice cream anymore. Hence, he grabbed the bowl, went to the kitchen, got another spoon and marched straight to the other's room. The teen slammed the door open like he owned the place and crossed his legs on the elder's bed.

"What on—" Sesshomaru immediately glared from his desk.

"Are you planning something?" Inu posed.

"Excuse me?"

"What's this for? I can't imagine the great Sesshomaru trying to please someone."

The demon saw the ice cream he was pointing and averted his eyes back to his studies. "That is nothing."

"Liar."

"You don't like it?"

"Huh. No, I do..."

"Then what's the problem?"

The hanyo blinked at that. He was right, there was no problem…then why was he making a big deal out of all this again? "...wanna eat it together?"

"No thanks. That's for you."

"Seriously? You think I can finish all this by myself?" That was rich coming from Inu.

"You can't?"

"Well...I probably could." The younger muttered sincerely. "But I'd probably get brain freeze by the end of it. Come on, ice cream doesn't kill."

"..."

"You should take a break once in a while."

"..."

"I even got a spoon for you~ Sesshomaru...nii-san~." The teen was clearly pushing the other close to a cliff. The demon finally slammed his pen down and stood up, taking a seat on the bed too. Inu grinned while passing him the spoon.

"You're very stubborn." Sesshomaru deadpanned.

"Thanks."

"... why aren't you eating the chocolate chunks?" The hanyo pointed out to the other.

"Are you joking? Those are ridiculously sweet."

That was when an idea struck the teen. Sesshomaru forced him to drink that dreadful thing, so now it was his turn. He scooped some ice cream in his spoon with a hidden chocolate chip embedded inside of it.

"Sesshomaru." The teen raised his spoon to the other's mouth. The silverette gazed at him like he was crazy. "Ah~ just eat it!" His arm was beginning to fatigue.

The elder sighed and accepted the spoonful into his mouth, slowly moving it with his tongue and biting the cream. It was all good until he stopped chewing and recognized a burst of chocolate in his mouth. The elder shut his eyes briefly to contain his frustration. Meanwhile Inuyasha tried his hardest to contain his laughter.

"I'm glad you find this funny," Inuyasha wanted to apologize but was taken back when the elder pushed him down on the bed and hovered over him. "Because in a moment it's not about to be." He threatened as he locked one of the teen's wrist. The younger lay there stupefied before he noticed his brother lift a spoon of ice cream and dump it right on his bare collarbone.

The teen shuddered immediately. "C-Cold! Are you outta your mind?"

The demon smirked. "Is it? Are you sure you don't want more?" He dropped chocolate ice cream on the teen's face near his mouth. "Hm, though the back is more sensitive isn't it?"

"W-wait—Se-Sesshomaru! Hold on, I'm sorry okay! Don't do that!" That's the last thing the teen wanted. Moreover, the other's serious tone was beginning to frighten him. However, it didn't seem like Sesshomaru was listening as he began to rotate the other. Inuyasha clasped his hands together in forgiveness. "Uwaaah! No don't! I'm begging you! I won't do it again—I promise!"

"Hmph. I wouldn't get carried away if I were you next time." At last, Sesshomaru backed off a bit.

The younger pouted. "Who throws ice cream like that on someone else? Seriously, you're messed up." Inuyasha felt it dripping from his cheek to the corner of his mouth and down his chin. He attempted to lick his own face, but it was a mess, especially the bit on his neck that was dirtying his shirt.

Inuyasha was the perfect case of ignorance. He hadn't the slightest clue how his clumsy gestures were seducing his 'mate.'

'But it was kind of cute…?' Sesshomaru inwardly mused, reaching for the cream on the other's jaw with his thumb. 'But what a mess…' He smudged the desert even more, involuntarily, creating more of a mess.

"Hey." A vein popped on Inuyasha's forehead. "Not helping here." However, he was stunned when Sessomaru licked his chin. The teen simply sat there dumbfounded until he found his blush again. "O-oi."

The silverette stared back as well, just as amazed as the other was. 'Instincts. That's what it was.' Sesshomaru's heart pounded once and his stomach churned. There was no turning back now. He continued to lick the cream from the younger's lower lip before sucking on it and ultimately turning it into a kiss.

"Wha—" The hanyo protested but was silenced by the kiss. He instantly felt the sweet chocolate taste from the elder's cool tongue as it collided with his. After the tongue explored his mouth, it danced with his, in an unrhythmic motion. While they kissed the teen also felt himself gradually being pushed down on to the bed. Their kisses only lasted longer after that and it was surreal that both of them wanted it just as badly.

Inuyasha's hands found the other's shoulders and clenched the clothing on it as he moaned. Sesshomaru's nose was beginning to ache with all the pheromones the teen was releasing. It was driving him crazy. The demon lowered himself a bit more and bit the teen's neck. "Ah!" 'He wanted more ...'

Ding dong.

The pair froze. Their mom was already home, so who?

"It must be father." Sesshomaru stated. "He must have decided to come straight home instead of staying an extra night." Inuyasha sat up as the elder moved off him and climbed off the bed until a hand grabbed his elbow. "Go into the bathroom."

"Eh?"

"Take a shower first before you go see him. Moreover, you have ice cream all over."

"Fine..." The white-haired teen waltz to the joint bathroom in Sesshomaru's room.

He was exuding too many pheromones—it was practically saying what they did, Sesshomaru thought.

Inuyasha stepped into Sesshomaru's private bathroom and was stunned. This was one of the few rooms that had a bathroom connected. The bathroom had a huge round tub built into the tiled floor and overall was kept neat and clean. There was a small open shelved closet with fresh clothing and two folded towels and a separate shelf next to the basin with a bunch of shampoos, conditioners and soaps 'Wait a sec, this wasn't a bathroom. It didn't have a toilet. Maybe just a place to relax and take a bath—cause it had two showers. One tub and one standing.' Inuyasha surveyed the place in awe. 'Whoa, is it really okay for me to use this... Oh well, enjoy while we can.' Though it didn't take him long to realize that he didn't have his towel or his clothes. The teen eyed the towels, and the clean grey shirt in the closet.

"I hope he won't mind me wearing his stuff..."

To Be Continued…

I was laughing so bad while I was typing the ice cream scene. I could legit picture Sessho's face as he stopped chewing. XDD Ah, good times. Not a lot of action here but hold your horses until the next chapter because something is going to happen. For good or for bad? I'll let you guys be the judge of that.
