Chapter 20:

Inuyasha groaned as he stretched his arms. It was the weekend, but his joints felt stiff. Then again, it could just be secondary to the fatigue from his body changing and making room for one whole other entity. 'Ughh,' he got anxious just thinking about the whole process, so he shook his head and decided not to.

"What are you doing?" He heard a familiar, comforting voice from the door. The teen looked up from his comic to meet eyes with Sesshomaru.

"Nothing really, just looking at some comics."

"That makes sense, there's no way you would be reading." The silverette passively insulted.

Inu scowled in response to that. "Anyways! Good timing! Give me a massage~ My shoulders hurt."

"Excuse me?" The demon stepped into the library towards the couch where the hanyo was seated.

"What? You can't even do that? You're the reason why I'm like this." He guilt-tripped. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and took a seat on the couch as well, the younger automatically turning his back towards him. The demon wasn't going to admit it, but in truth he didn't mind at all, if anything he would love to touch his mate in any form he could. Sesshomaru slowly palmed the younger's shoulders before pressing his thumbs inwards and kneading. Inuyasha instantly moaned in relief, rocking his head back a notch and savoring the feeling. The silverette studied him closely as he massaged his shoulders back and forth.

"Wow, you're not bad at this… I should've asked for this ages ago…" The teen praised until he felt Sesshomaru's breath right at his nape. "Sesshomaru?" He then felt a kiss over his long hair on his neck. "What are you doing? The door's wide open!" Inuyasha hissed.

"Nothing. What is it that you think I'm doing?"

"Whatever then."

The demon continued to massage the other's shoulders until his hands slid down to the other's upper arms. He caressed the muscles up and down, the teen leaning towards him, suddenly making a conscious effort to breath normally. The younger didn't realize when his stomach began doing flips…and he just couldn't help that his mate was touching him, after so long too. By now, his back was grazing Sesshomaru's chest and he could feel the demon's breath on his ear.

"You seem tense suddenly..." Sesshomaru whispered in his ear and the teen stifled a flinch.

"Not so close…!" Inu reprimanded and Sesshomaru bit back a smirk. The teen was such an open book. It never failed to amuse him.

"Relax…" Sesshomaru cooed once more, nibbling his dog ear.

"Ah! Don't—"

Inuyasha's squirming did it all for the demon, who slid his hands down and over to plant them on his chest. His elder brother palmed his breasts, feeling the soft tender muscles hiding under the fabric of his shirt.

"S-sesshomaru, hah…" Inu was positive the other could sense his heart racing as well. The teen had to remind himself their location and attempted to pull the hands away but Sesshomaru only pursued his 'massage.' "Stop… not here…please…"

"My hearing's sharper than yours—I'll stop when I hear someone." The demon assured, dog ear still at his lips as he proceeded to pinching a nipple. 'God, he wanted to devour the younger right now.'

"Ergh—nh!" The hanyo arched all the way forward, Sesshomaru following suite. "Stop teasing me—!"

"So, you figured,"

"Jerk—ah!" Sesshomaru sucked his neck, until he abruptly broke the contact, leaving that area of Inuyasha's skin feeling cold. "W-what?" The hanyo turned his head around to see what happened and noticed Sesshomaru was sitting straight again, gazing at the door. Inuyasha followed his gaze and saw no one at the door or hall at first. However, it wasn't long until InuTaisho passed by. He noticed the pair in the library and waved once, before trudging along.

'That was a close one.' Inuyasha let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. He elbowed the elder once with a scolding frown on his face. Sesshomaru didn't seem too bothered at all and only glared back at his audacity to poke him.

"Don't get too cheeky." The elder deadpanned.

"I should be the one saying that." The teen decided on a bit of revenge and locked his arms around the other's neck, catching him by surprise. Inuyasha leaned in and licked the silverette's lower lip. Predictably, Sesshomaru couldn't resist and went full into the kiss, securing him in place with a hand on the back of his mate's head. The hanyo ultimately broke the kiss, sneering at the elder as he forced himself away. "You fell for it~"

"…shut up." Sesshomaru masked his vulnerability by physically turning the younger away by the shoulders, back to their starting positions on the couch. Inu laughed and that secretly irritated the demon even further. "Someone's getting bolder." Sesshomaru wrapped his fingers back on the teen's neck, knowing he was ticklish there.

"Wait! Ahaha! Stop—Sessho—" Inuyasha was instantly squirming at that.

'Hmph.' Now that he had his mate where he wanted him. Sesshomaru let one of his hands glide down to the teen's crotch, grabbing the area painfully hard. His younger brother jolted with a yelp, impulsively closing his legs in response. "No—! Demon!"

Music to his ears.

'Oh hang on, that reminds me I needed to ask Sesshomaru about the project...' InuTaisho realized and turned on his heels back towards the library. As he neared the room once more he heard loud noises, mostly Inuyasha yelling profanities towards Sesshomaru, he assumed. 'Great, are they fighting again? These two…'

However, when he reached the door, their backs were towards the door and all he could make out was Sesshomaru bent over Inuyasha's back, both still on the couch like they were five minutes ago.

"What are you two doing?" He suspiciously asked, partially worried Sesshomaru was bullying the teen. Though, he'd hope Sesshomaru was too old for such a thing. The pair visibly separated from each other, appearing momentarily startled before Inuyasha let out a sheepish laugh.

"I forced him to give me a massage, haha…" The hanyo convinced, scratching his cheek nervously. Their father raised a brow, likely pondering how on heaven's earth did he manage that.

"Did you need something…?" The teen attempted to change the subject instead. Except, InuTaisho didn't seem to have heard the question while he was so fixated on them.

'Something…seems off… this mood…are those pheromones?' The elder demon couldn't help but think the two had created their own atmosphere around them. In fact, if he studied hard, it would seem Sesshomaru had his pheromones wrapped around both of them. And that astonished InuTaisho beyond belief. The only time a demon did that was to protect his mate or mark his territory. But knowing his cold-hearted son, there was no way Sesshomaru would simply carry out such a gesture with anyone, even his brother. …No way. It couldn't be.

"Uh dad?" Inu repeated, slightly concerned.

"Inuyasha, who's the father?" Their dad finally spoke.

"What?" The hanyo was taken by surprise. "Uh, um, that's kinda random?" Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes beside him, studying his father closely.

"You never said who it was."

"Well, that's because there's no point if you never met him…"

"Don't bother lying to me." Even though InuTaisho was talking to him, his eyes were staring straight at Sesshomaru, who boldly stared back.

His face almost read 'I can't believe you would do this.' Inuyasha felt the disconnect and stared between the two demons, clearly feeling like an extra unneeded wheel. As InuTaisho waited for the truth, possible reasons roamed through his head. 'Was he plotting revenge? Using Inuyasha like this and ruining his life? He was against the whole family thing in the beginning… but four years later? Surely he couldn't be that cruel?'

"I am." Sesshomaru confessed, fully aware that his father had caught on and was testing them now.

"What?!" The hanyo gawked, not anticipating the elder to blurt it out like that. He actually believed they'd be able to fool their dad for longer than that. "Sessho—" However, before he could finish he saw a flash of white zoom past him, halting directly in front of Sesshomaru and grabbing him by the collar.

"Seshomaru! What's the meaning of this? What exactly was going inside that head of yours?!" Next thing they knew, InuTaisho was screaming in the other's face. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru, guilty as charged, merely stood there and listened to every word. "How dare you destroy the family like this?!" There was genuine hurt in the elder demon's voice. "Answer me! Sesshomaru!" InuTaisho looked as if he was ready to beat the crap out of his son then and there, if something more snaped in him. And perhaps Sessshomaru was aware of that. That anything he'd say wouldn't be enough to explain his actions or allow him mercy from his father.

"Wait dad it's not like—" Inuyasha's voice cracked unconditionally as he tried to pull them apart, fear of what might happen to the father of his child.

"Inu stay out of this, I'm sure you didn't have a say in this. You clearly didn't have the upper hand." Was all his father said to him without even sparing him a glance.

'These demons.' "What?!"

"Sesshomaru you have five seconds to explain yourself before you're moving out. Tell me, is this your idea of revenge?! You were always against this family—is this how you wanted to destroy it? How dare you do this to your mother?!"

Sesshomaru was silent again and that was hurt Inuyasha like daggers. Where was his sharp tongue now? He needed to stand up for himself and explain their situation. Their father had it all wrong! Speaking of which, that was the second thing that shattered him. His father's pre-disposed impression of his son was completely clouding his judgement.

"That's not my mother." Apparently, that was the most relevant thing Sesshomaru thought he needed to clarify first even if he said it with no haste.

SLAP. Not the most wise choice of words as InuTaisho instantaneously slapped him across the face. Inuyasha gaped. "Sesshomaru!" The pregnant hanyo instinctively stood in front of the demon to shield him, tears gathering in his eyes. "Dad!"

"This is ridiculous—I cannot believe this. As my son…get out. Get out before I lose myself."

"Uwgh…" Inuyasha attempted to blink the tears away. All this was happening so fast, it was stressing him out. He could feel his insides getting hotter and heart pounding in his chest. He didn't like it one bit. And of course, as usual, Sesshomaru straightened himself without a single change in expression. As if he'd given up or accepted all this. "Ugh—sob—Wait! Just stop it already! You don't even know the full story! God! Stop blaming Sesshomaru!" The demons looked at him at last as he literally stood between the two. "—It was me! I was the one who messed things up first okay! So, please! Please stop blaming Sesshomaru…!"

"Inuyasha…" His mate called out, taken aback by his nerve.

InuTaisho looked at him incredulously like he was trying to defend his brother.

"Why aren't you saying anything?!" The teen yelled towards Sesshomaru once before turning back to his dad. "You don't know anything but you're so convinced!" He spat. "We both wanted this, we love each other for real! This isn't some revenge plot or whatever the hell you're calling it—Sesshomaru's not like that! He's jerk sometimes but he's the most hard-working, mature, coolest person I've ever met. He's been the best version of himself ever since we got together. And it sucks that you can't see that he's actually caring in his own way." The teen wiped a tear from his eyes before it rolled down his cheeks. Sesshomaru stood awestruck as he listened to the hanyo defend him. He could physically feel warmth spreading in his chest and his desire to shelter his mate only rose.

InuTaisho also stared at him speechlessly, not wanting to believe it but couldn't feign the swarm of emotions in the younger's eyes.

"Forget it Inuyasha, his mind is made up now." Sesshomaru put a hand on the teen's shoulder.

However, Inu only shrugged him off. "And for the record we met before you guys."

"What?" Their father narrowed his eyes at him.

"It was a one-night fling. It didn't mean anything." Sesshomaru sighed.

"I don't get it. Why hide it? Why didn't you tell us?"

"Because! We weren't planning on turning it into anything more or even repeating it—especially with how antisocial Sesshomaru is. And we were supposed to be brothers suddenly! But…" the hanyo need not say more to get his point across.

"You can kick me out if you want," Sesshomaru finally stepped forward and took a stance. "But I'm taking Inuyasha with me."

InuTaisho couldn't believe his ears. He needed to sit down. What kind of turn did this afternoon take?

"What is your mother going to say?"

"I don't know…" The younger averted his gaze to the ground. "Either way... you can't kick him out…I need him." Inu grabbed his mate's elbow and Sesshomaru looked down at him with amazement.

Their father could only scowl and turn away from them to digest the whole situation. "I'm at a loss for words. …I never would have imagined—especially Sesshomaru—is this really mutual?"

"I'm pregnant for crying out loud." Inuyasha gently reminded. "It doesn't get more real than that. And I want to keep it this time."

"Inuyasha..." Sesshomaru had to hand it to his courage. The teen could be fearless when he wanted to and his chest rose with pride towards his mate.

"Like I said. If you still decide to kick me out then I'll gladly leave, but I'm taking him with me."

To be Continued…
