So Sorry guys for the long wait. My board exam finally ended 3 weeks ago but since I'd been so busy, I hadn't had the time to think of the next scenes. The struggle I swear, 'cause I don't want to force the scenes either. Still not entirely mapped out, but I'm hoping one of these days I will.

Replies to Reviews:

Asterkanya: Yeah I just have the worst update schedule, partly has to do with my busy life. Sorry for the wait, and thanks for reading. Yess Sesshomaru is so different from the first chapter already. He's growing. For the better. Thanks for the review!

Chapter 18:

Inuyasha's soft laughter echoed against the bathroom walls, as he stood inside the glass shower doors. "You're so perverted." The hanyo harmlessly insulted between kisses.

"Who insisted we bathe together back at home?" Sesshomaru spoke hastily, catching a quick breath at the same time before his face leaned forward to kiss the younger again.

"That was just one time." The teen murmured, backing away momentarily to get his point across.

"You're wish is granted. I warned you for a reason that time." The silverette resorted to pecking at the other's neck instead when he was refused the other's lips. Inuyasha shivered as Sesshomaru held him against his bare body, with the teen's back facing the glass doors.

"I- ah, I can see that… you're…like a different person."

"Hmp." The demon let out a condescending scoff. "Not very." With that he bit the teen's neck, evoking a displeasing groan.

"I noticed something—you bite way too much!" Inuyasha complained, glancing down at the red spots on the rest of his bare body as proof.

"You're mine. It's evidence." Sesshomaru began playing with his nipples, teasing them with both his hands and mouth.

"Hol-hold on…" Inuyasha could feel his nipples perking up instantly as well as a certain part down there like it was a conditioned response. Well, with the number of times they've done it that weekend, it might as well be. Yet, when he peeked down at Sesshomaru's—let's just say he had better control over it.

"Where are you looking?" The silverette sucked on the small pink protrusion evoking a shudder from the teen. The hanyo didn't respond but Sesshomaru took his blush as answer enough. The elder lay off his chest and guided one of Inuyasha's hands to his lower regions instead. "You're allowed to touch, half-breed." The teen flushed a shade of darker red as he felt the semi-erect structure, continually growing bigger under his touch. He bit his tongue and stroked Seshomaru's length, not being able to tear his eyes away for even an instant. Most of the time, Sesshomaru just took control of the entire situation, overwhelming Inuyasha and not leaving him room to do much. The younger only gasped and broke focus when he felt large hands over his own hips pulling him close and grinding against the other body. The teen moaned as he felt pressure against his own erection as the elder continued to rub them together.

"Your hand stopped moving." The demon whispered into his ear and Inuyasha went back to work. He couldn't see Sesshomaru's face anymore, dug somewhere in his hair or behind his ear as his back hit the glass wall upon Sesshomaru's thrusts.

"Ahh!" Finally, he felt himself cumming, spilling all over their stomachs, with a grunt from Sesshomaru indicating him cumming right after. Inuyasha panted, trying to catch his breath as he gripped Sesshomaru's biceps, who was leaning over him.

"Bath…" Was the only word the elder muttered before swinging Inuyasha clockwise so he was directly under the shower but facing him. Without warning the demon turned water on to warm, but Inuyasha still jolted under his hold, running forward towards him to avoid the running water. "It's just water." Sesshomaru reassured, holding the teen in place by the arms and not allowing him to escape any further.

"Still~ you don't just—!" The teen angrily began but was met with fierce lips instead, sucking his insides out. The teen practiced breathing through his nose as he responded, mingling his tongue with the other's. "Mhn… ah, Sessho…" The silverette broke away only to grab the soap until he saw bottles of body wash and shampoo. He eyed the body wash which was a floral flavor. 'Interesting...' Sesshomaru would much prefer Inuyasha's scent but something as sweet smelling as this would certainly accentuate his pheromones. "Sesshomaru?"

"How would you like to use this?" The elder asked, popping the lid open and spilling some directly on the younger's chest.

"W-what is it?"

"Just an alternative to soap." Sesshomaru turned the teen around and started rubbing circles over his brother's chest and stomach, forming a lather. Inuyasha squirmed in his hold as he also kissed the younger's nape simultaneously.

"This is… embarrassing…" Inu pouted. He heard an amused 'heh' from demon.

"You should get used to this. I've been holding back for quite some time." The silverette worked his way downward.

"Ah—liar…mh…you hardly even make an effort to touch me at home."

"That's because we're at home. You should understand why." Another gawk left Inuyasha's lips as Sesshomaru encircled his fingers around Inuyasha's length, stroking it up and down. The teen shivered, thighs trembling as he rested his back against the other's chest.

"Ses-Sesshomaru…ah!"

"Should I show you how much I've been holding back?"

The younger bit his lip harder as he rocked his head back. He couldn't think straight at the moment, but he wasn't sure he wanted to know—if the past two nights hadn't been enough evidence of that. "Hanh! Wa-wait, I –I think I'm cumming again!" It wasn't long before Inuyasha let himself release again, soap still all over his body and member. Tears burned down his eyes, embarrassed of the lack of control he had over his body especially when Sesshomaru played with it.

"Jerk…stop teasing me already… are we showering or what…?" Bitter orange eyes met passionate golden ones.

"We are," The silverette embraced him from behind and sensed something poking him from behind. "After this."

"Wait, condom—!"

"I won't insert it." As the water rained over them, Sesshomaru leaned forward, gently pushing Inuyasha to put his hands on the wall as he closed in between his thighs. "Just close your legs."

"L-like this…?"

"Yeagh…" The demon let out a heavy breath before he began rocking their bodies, using the friction instead of actually mating. Inuyasha held on tightly as his body rocked with each quick relentless thrust until he felt them come to a sudden halt and hot fluid ran down his thighs.


"Whose idea was this again?" Sessomaru was called out one evening to meet the entire family at a bowling place. It had been about two weeks since they returned from their weekend away.

"Don't look at me! It was dad's, he suggested this." Inuyasha immediately surrendered his hands up.

"Whatever."

"Come on boys. How about a 2-on-2 match? You boys versus us?" InuTaisho rolled his sleeves up. "God, I missed this." Apparently, he was a huge fan of bowling but too busy to ever pursue it.

"Eh, I'm playing too?" Izayoi pointed to herself.

"Of course or else we'll have an odd number."

"Um...if you say so."

"Hmp. This is going to be easy." Seshomaru scoffed, looking down at them already. He had played against his father multiple times, but with such a weak teammate and liability on his side, he was sure to win this.

"I wouldn't go around calling shots just yet… dad looks pretty skilled." Inuyasha gently reminded.

"However, it's clear your mother doesn't know how to play." The silverette smirked, side glancing towards him, causing the younger to look away. "... wait don't tell me...you haven't played before either?" There was real surprise in the elder's voice as he mouthed the question.

"Hey, it wasn't always the first on my list! Why do you sound so confident anyway, when you barely even go out?"

"Father is obsessed with it. I've been down here more times than I can count."

"Of course." The hanyo rolled his eye. 'He just seems to be good at everything.'

InuTaisho went over the rules after they paid for their hours and assembled their gear. The teams split up and settled into place. InuTaisho was feeling merciful and allowed the brothers to go first.

Sesshomaru eyed his father, letting him know telepathically, it would be his loss for showing any mercy. The silverette slotted his fingers into the ball and swept it up, releasing it with proper angle, force and precision. The three watched in suspense as the matte ball endlessly rolled down the sixty-foot long lane, until it finally hit three at one time but the rest came tumbling after like dominoes.

"Sweet~!" Inuyasha was the first to cheer. InuTaisho gave it to him, clapping once, pride glistening in his eyes.

"You're up Inu,"

"Here goes nothing." Inuyasha cracked his knuckles as Sesshomaru helped him lift the ball properly. "Um, do I…" However, the elder was suddenly behind him, placing a light hand on his waist and another on the ball over his fingers.

"Steady your momentum, swing your arm like this… and shift your weight forward a little." The elder patiently taught him. The teen gulped, before nodding and waiting for the other to let go. Once freed, the teen took a breath in and ran forward. The ball seemed pretty centered, which had his hopes up but not long after, it took a turn for the worst and ended up in the side alleys—not hitting any pins at all.

"Aw come on. Didn't look that hard…"

"Don't worry, Inu, it's takes practice and—" InuTaisho wasted no time, gathering another ball and firing away, undoubtfully landing another strike. "—This game's only begun." He grinned at them.

"…something tells me this is gonna be a long game…" Inuyasha voiced out loud.

"Come on Izayoi." Their father motioned with a hand towards his wife.

"Oh dear, I was hoping they'd forget I was still here…" She nervously walked up to the center of lane and was handed a ball. "Wow, they're heavier than I expected—seems quite dangerous if this was to land on your foot, no?"

"Mom~" Inu just whined, wishing she could switch off her 'mom-side' for once.

"I'm just saying," She defended.

"Okay honey, similar to how Sesshomaru was teaching Inu, keep your arm straight first and watch your steps." Their father motioned. "But it's a game of practice, words alone won't do anything. So, try your best, no pressure."

'Of course, mom's not gonna make it.' The thought crossed his mind automatically, considering that he hadn't land a hit. They all watched the ball roll down and curve slightly to the side, managing to hit one pin. "What?!"

"Oh my, I hit one." Izayoi was beaming with pride, innocently, as InuTaisho hooked an arm around her neck.

"Way to go. Baby steps, I suppose. You should learn Inuyasha." That earned a 'humph' from the hanyo who crossed his arms against his chest. This is gonna be war soon. He was being compared to his own mom in a sport.

"Wake up half-breed." Was Sesshomaru's idea of a prep talk. "You go first and show them."

'Aw shit.' Inuyasha suddenly felt pressured as he stepped forward to carry out the first frame. The teen picked up the ball again and rocked his body once more to release. Another fail. The younger resisted the urge to facepalm in front of everyone.

"It's okay Inuyasha—eventually." His dad chuckled.

"Is it too late to switch teammates?" Sesshomaru mouthed as he invited himself to the edge of the lane and owned the ball.

"Hey I just started! Have some patience." Inu whined as the elder tossed the ball like nothing. Another full hit. He was gonna have to learn this crap quick before Sesshomaru decided to emancipate him from the team.


"Hahaha! Way to go, dear~" InuTaisho lifted his wife and swung her around. "Better luck next time boys."

"Yeah yeah, celebrate, for now." Inuyasha brushed off, at the same not turning away from them to face Sesshomaru.

"That's long enough. It's time to head back." The silverette expressionlessly declared, like they hadn't just lost a game of bowling by their parents.

"Good call, someone still has work tomorrow morning." InuTaisho concurred, taking off his bowling boots.

"And someone still has school." Izayoi added, earning a look from the hanyo as she also got ready to leave. The brothers followed behind and got into the car backseats. As their father and mother made small talk in the front seats, while they drove into the night, Sesshomaru's pinky finger intentionally grazed Inuyasha's hand. Inuyasha had been gazing outside, still affected by the stupid game and not living up to expectations, that he didn't notice it at first. The elder rubbed his finger once more, nice and slow, feeling the skin drag along the other's. The hanyo finally caught on, flinching before looking at the other right away, whose golden eyes were fixated right on him. Surprisingly, the hanyo gave him the cold shoulder, displaying a hurt frown and shrugging himself away. Sesshomaru was only left to stare in awe.

"We're here." InuTaisho parked and put the engine to rest as they exited the car. Inuyasha walked forward first, their parents right behind him and lastly Sesshomaru entering the house last.

"How about a midnight snack?" Izayoi offered, considering they had dinner before the game.

"I'll pass." The hanyo waved a hand, heading up to the second floor.

"Sounds worthwhile." InuTaisho joined her in the kitchen instead.

"No thanks." The young demon also passed on the offer, distantly following Inu.


"So, this is called the silent treatment?" Inuyasha heard his older brother from the door frame.

"At least you know that much." The teen didn't bother turning around. He heard soft footsteps behind him and an arm yank swing him around. Serious golden eyes stared down at him as his own looked up in pique. The demon leaned forward to steal a kiss but the younger turned away, additionally pushing him off. The elder raised a brow.

"What is it now?"

"Seriously? Did you see yourself during the game? You were acting like a complete jerk."

Sesshomaru stomached that for a bit before answering. "No, I was acting like usual. I was just pushing you to do your best."

"Yeah, thanks batman."

"It was quite believable to them." The demon smirked and Inuyasha groaned at himself, knowing that he was losing this argument already.

"Last chance. Next time you act like that, I will smack you in front of everybody."

"I'd like to see you try." The silverette locked his hands behind the younger's back and finally landed a kiss on his lips.

To Be Continued…

Sorry again for the long wait, I'm brain dead over here but wanted to get this chapter. I already have the next one planned so see you guys soon.

Also, guys just thought it'd be a great moment to say that we're nearing the end of this story. (Look it's never easy to break bad news). I'll be honest, when I started this story, I didn't have a 30-40 chapter story in my mind, I was thinking something short to intermediate. But damn, we've come so far already—how did I drag this story on for so long lol? I thought this story was like 10 chapters so far but we're almost hitting 20. o.o

Anyhow, Happy Holidays! (and almost New year…)
