Inuyasha wore his best clothes for the dinner date. Sesshoumaru was taking him to one of the nicest restaurants in the city. They were celebrating Sesshoumaru's promotion, so he made sure to look extra nice. The best part it would just be the two of them at dinner.

The entire carriage ride was spent in almost complete silence besides Inuyasha's curious comments on the different possibilities as to why Sesshoumaru got the promotion. Upon arriving Inuyasha discovered that since Sesshoumaru had already made a reservation, they didn't need to wait.

Inuyasha couldn't get over how well dressed the other people were. The men had on tailored suits and the women wore the nicest dresses he'd ever seen.

Inuyasha felt under dressed. His ears folded to his head in embarrassment. When he walked in the people started whispering. They had never seen a half-breed before and in these war times they looked down at anyone with Spytra blood in them. A lot of half-bloods' were suspected of treason. The stares and whispering got worse when they saw that he was with Sesshoumaru.

"What on earth is the general doing with a half-blood?" One of the males said to a women.

"He's pretty attractive, do you think there dating?"

"No way" the male said. "Sesshoumaru could be with anyone. Why would he pick a half-breed to date."

Inuyasha lowered his eyes. He wished they hadn't come here to eat. It hurt more knowing they were right. Sesshoumaru had so many choices. The women would practically throw themselves at him and he has seen men looking at him lustfully.

"Don't pay attention to them. I've discovered that rich people have nothing better to do than gossip." Sesshoumaru rubbed his shoulder. "Come on lets look over the menu."

He pulled out Inuyasha's chair for him and pushed him in when he sat down.

Inuyasha looked at the choices. Every thing looked so good he didn't know what to pick.

"Why don't I order for us?" Sesshoumaru offered.

"Sure" Inuyasha put down his menu, glad he did not having to make such a difficult choice.

The waiter came over. He asked them if they were ready.

"We'll have two glasses of wine and some bread sticks and some stuffed clams for an appetizer."

"Good choice Sir" he wrote it down and left.

In ten minutes the food was on the table. Inuyasha had never had clams before, they were very good.

For the main course Sesshoumaru had ordered them duck seasoned with garlic and lemon. It was delicious.

After dinner Sesshoumaru suggested they go on a walk to work off the meal. The cool night air ran over their skin. It's smelled sweet with the hint of pine. Must have been from the forest near by.

"Sesshoumaru-sama" Inuyasha was balancing himself on the street curb as he walked.

"Yes?"

"Thank you for taking care of me. I know other people wouldn't have done the same." he looked at the moon.

"I'm glad I met you Inuyasha, I couldn't imagine my life without you." Sesshoumaru grabbed his arm. And squeezed gently.

"No one has ever cared about me like you. They never asked how I'm doing or try to make me comfortable. Especially not him..." His mind wandered back to Naraku.

"Why must you continue to think about him? Why not think of me instead." Sesshoumaru tilted Inuyasha's head up.

"I love you, he doesn't." He kissed him gently.

Inuyasha felt the others tongue as he explore his mouth. It was sweet and gentle. It wasn't Inuyasha's first kiss. Sometimes when Naraku was in a good mood he'd kiss him during sex. But those kisses were rough and forceful

This kiss was soft and loving. He never felt such a warm sensation before. It was like sparks in his mouth.

They slowly pulled away.

"Lets go home." Sesshoumaru suggested.

As soon as they got into the house they started kissing. Their bodies were pushed together. They were almost eating each other with how hard they were kissing. Soon they were removing their clothes trying to get closer.

Inuyasha kicked off his boots while Sesshoumaru removed his shirt. He rubbed the other member while he removed his pants.

Inuyasha was feeling something he felt very rarely. It was a nice heated sensation between his legs. His man hood was getting bigger and harder. Sometime during sex with Naraku it get this way and once or twice some milky liquid would come out. But it never happen this fast before. They weren't even having sex yet and it was happening.

Both completely naked they wrestled on the bed. Sesshoumaru came out on top. He kissed around the dog eared boy's neck And gently rubbed his shaft.

Inuyasha moaned and thrust against him. It felt good, really good. He could feel Sesshoumaru's member rubbing against his thigh. He wasn't scared, the other wasn't doing anything that hurt him.

Sesshoumaru reached over to the drawer and pulled out some lube. He rubbed it on his fingers. Kissing the other his hand slid down south.

When Inuyasha felt those long fingers slip between his lower cheeks he pushed him away. Memories of fear and pain were associated with that spot. He panicked and covered his body.

"Whats wrong?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"I... When ever I did that with...him, it would hurt... A lot" he looked at the ground ashamed of his fearfulness.

Sesshoumaru rubbed his cheek.

"I'm not him. I would never hurt you like that. I care about you to much." he kissed his cheek and rubbed his ear.

With the mood gone Sesshoumaru laid down still holding Inuyasha. His arms were gently wrapped around him. He understood the hanyou's feeling. He wasn't ready and Sesshoumaru wasn't going to rush him into something he might regret.

For now he would be content with just snuggling with the half blood.

...

Naraku scrawled. His father had sent word that the war wasn't over yet. In fact it appeared the war was far from over.

This meant that Naraku would be stuck at his aunts house for a long time. He loathed staying there. His aunts taste in furniture was tacky and it always smelled like cheese. Plus he didn't have all the luxuries he had at home. He didn't have his big comfy bed or his dancers to keep him entertained. There were no festivals or balls to go to. At least there was a bar he could go to. He spent most of his time there drinking.

The worst part about this visit was that Naraku couldn't find a new pleasure slave. He went to the market to shop around but none caught his fancy. None of them had that charm Inuyasha had. They weren't interesting at all.

He sighed. You don't know what you have till it's gone. To say he didn't miss his little pet would be a lie. But their was no point thinking about the past. Inuyasha was probably dead by now. He couldn't survive this long by himself. And if he did he most likely never see him again.

"Naraku" called his aunt Reen. She sounded worried. Kind of scratchy. He herd her sniffle before she came into his room.

"I'm afraid there's terrible news. You see your father has gone missing."
