"What is it anyways?" Inuyasha sneered the question staring at the odd cube. Now that he smelt it, it smelt sweet and juicy. Swallowing Inuyasha leaned forward slightly to get a better sniff.
"After you eat it I will tell you what each is called."
"Ok how about the white stuff in the middle of the plate? What's it and why's it there?" Inuyasha agreed- names weren't important, but he wanted to know why the stuff was there (other than to eat) and why one white stuff had green-black flecks white the other didn't.
"Again, after you eat and only if you eat." Sesshomaru placed the cube to Inuyasha's lips which for once he gladly accepted the piece. It smelt so good.
And it tasted even better!
Inuyasha closed his eyes as the sweet grains danced over his tongue spreading the sweet juice throughout his mouth. Inuyasha didn't want to swallow but he had to, there was nothing but saliva when he finally did.
Sesshomaru gently slide his fingers over Inuyasha's jaw when he saw his throat bob in when he swallowed. Inuyasha didn't open his eyes but he did open his mouth. Sesshomaru grinned slightly (more of a smirk) before pushing the next piece in between Inuyasha's plump lips.
As soon as Sesshomaru let go Inuyasha spat the morsal out. That was not the pink/red piece he had just had. Looking down Inuyasha saw the green piece sitting in Sesshomaru's hand, who had apparently caught it.
"What's that?" Inuyasha said, curling his lip. Sesshomaru just raised his eyebrows. Inuyasha looked back again- it looked like a tiny tree in full bloom.
"It smells-odd." It smelt crisp yet earthy and the texture was-odd. Inuyasha wanted the pink cube back or his normal sludge; and wasn't that saying something.
"Eat it Inuyasha." Sesshomaru snarled sure he will eat the fruit but not the vegetables. Inuyasha growled and turned away- right into Sesshomaru's chest.
"If you eat this, the next one I will allow you to the try the 'white stuff'." Sesshomaru snarled out. The last part obviously not thrilled about having to use Inuyasha's words. Inuyasha grumbled but turned his head back, without thinking about it he opened his mouth awaiting the next morsel.
"You know I can feed myself?" Inuyasha snapped, before Sesshomaru could shove the 'little tree' into his mouth.
"So you have said. But you will eat from my hand." Inuyasha chewed but still growled. This one was dryer and less sweet, but Inuyasha didn't overly mind. When he swallowed another 'little tree' was held up to him- this one with the white stuff with the little green/black flecks in it covering the top. Inuyasha accepted it purely out of curiosity for that thick liquid.
The rest of the platter went in much the same fashion. Inuyasha fighting each new piece that he was presented but in the end Sesshomaru would win, generally it was by stroking those ears, but we did win. When they were through Inuyasha had eaten a long green half-moon, an orange steak, a thin dark green hook along with a yellow, orange and red one. A red ball, and a thin circle that was dark on the outside and almost white in the center; a yellow rectangle, a purple ball (which had gotten the pure white liquid on it) and a small light green cube, a small blue ball, and a red dotted looking thing.
"There I ate them all, now what are they?" Inuyasha grumbled, snuggling down farther into the blankets. He was full, warm and sleepy. But he was curios so he forced himself to stay awake.
"Broccoli, cauliflower in ranch, celery, carrots, green, yellow, red and orange peppers, a cherry tomato, and a cucumber, those are the vegetables that you just ate. Watermelon, muskmelon, grapes with yogurt, honeydew, blueberries and raspberries are the fruits you just consumed." Sesshomaru fired off pointing to each thing as he named it, seeing as Inuyasha's stomach was still too small for his proper portions to be eaten, it left extra so he could explain.
"That's nice." Curiosity satisfied, Inuyasha snuggled down farther and closed his eyes. He wasn't going to be kicked or strangled so he didn't care to fall asleep with the bastard still in the room. But a dark chuckle brought him back to full awareness.
"We are not finished here Inuyasha. You have half an hour to let that measly amount of food digest then you will be punished for your earlier deplorable behaviour. Then that tube will be connected."
"What, why? I ate!"
"Not nearly enough." Sesshomaru tucked the blanket tightly around Inuyasha trapping his arms under its thickness.
"Twenty-eight minutes." Inuyasha grumbled but snuggled down anyways.
"Hands and knees. Do not try to get out of it, I know your stomach had healed."
"Wait- what deplorable behaviour?" Inuyasha's tone dropped in an attempt to copy Sesshomaru.
"Lying, attempting to touch what is mine, and attempting to fight me on your feedings." When Inuyasha didn't move Sesshomaru flipped him over, handcuffed him to the headboard and started in on Inuyasha's butt.
"You will take twenty." Inuyasha was forced to relax before he started smacking Inuyasha's sit spots.
SMACK!
Inuyasha couldn't help they yelp that escaped him as the last one hit. They had been hard and each one he tightened on which caused his stomach to cramp thanks to the fullness.
"So what did I lie about?" Inuyasha panted out as he was allowed to flop in his side.
"The need to use the bathroom- thus attempting to delay your surgery." Inuyasha wanted to protest the stupidity of that but decided against it. He just wanted to sleep! Stupid bastard.
Inuyasha was rolled over and re-cuffed to the bed so he was laying on his back and sore butt, before Inuyasha was left to himself. Inuyasha fought the restraints by kicking out, in a failed attempt to push himself against the headboard so he could possibly cut the bonds, or somehow break them. When that didn't work and he had exhausted himself he allowed himself to flop down and give in for now, Instead he chose to close his eyes and attempt to fall asleep.
The nest time Inuyasha woke up his stomach was cramping. It was so full and bloated it was hurting. Inuyasha had the sudden urge to rub at his stomach in hopes of relieving some of the pressure, but he quickly discovered that his hands were still cuffed to the bed. Instead he settled for looking down at the pained stomach to see a tube connected to the one coming from his stomach. Following it he sae it was connected to a bag hanging on an IV stand. A bag which was only had half its contents.
Well that explains why it hurts, and when the hell did he have time to set this all up? Inuyasha thought. Again he attempted to fight his was free, and again he failed at even budging his restraints. Inuyasha started to panic, he could feel the bile rising in his throat and he couldn't turn onto his side for some reason.
"Yo, person who keeps me chained."
"You will call me sir, or better yet Master." Sesshomaru said from somewhere off to the left side of Inuyasha's head.
"I could also say asshole, but I was taught not to. Either way, can you let me go?" Inuyasha panted, the bile was so close to coming out.
"Why should I free you?" Sesshomaru got his answer, just not in the form he thought he wished for.
Inuyasha got sick, but being that he was on his back it prevented the contents from going anywhere. Attempting to swallow it back down, so he could breath, only made more rise up, chocking Inuyasha more.
Sesshomaru quickly moved the bumpers and handcuffs that where holding Inuyasha in place which allowed Inuyasha to launch himself to the side of the bed, to empty his mouth and stomach. The force had Inuyasha crying and shaking in moments.
Inuyasha hated many things, a few of those things bring crying, feeling vulnerable and getting sick, and at that moment he was felling all three. He was also feeling a hand rub around the back of his head. When he was finally done he felt too weak to hold himself up, so he simply curled up into himself. This brought him face to face with the tube that was still pumping 'food' into his stomach. Tracing the tube with his eyes, Inuyasha say the bag was only about a quarter of the way full. Snarling, Inuyasha brought up his blunted nails and sliced through the tube, allowing the contents to fall to the group to join the rest of the mess.
Not caring about the mess right that moment, Sesshomaru pulled Inuyasha to his chest, in hopes of soothing the poor pup. When Inuyasha's shivering abated and breathing evened out Sesshomaru lifted him up and started to the bathroom. As he started to move Inuyasha clung to his shirt, eyes clenched closed and his breathing once again picked up.
"Stop, please stop." Inuyasha begged every step caused his stomach to roll and threaten to come up again. Right now Inuyasha would rather beg then throw up again- and wasn't that sad?
"Just breath and you will be fine." Sesshomaru chided never stopping in his determined path.
In the bathroom Sesshomaru placed Inuyasha on the counter ignoring his yelp in favour of filling a glass of water, which was passed to Inuyasha.
"This thing is cold!" Inuyasha complained before he attempted to um off. Suffice to say his attempt failed miserably, as Sesshomaru instantly pushed on Inuyasha's still rolling stomach, effectively keeping Inuyasha put on the counter.
"Rinse and spit- in the sink." Sesshomaru added as he saw Inuyasha's evil glint. Handing Inuyasha the glass Sesshomaru turned to the bath and started it up, listening to make sure Inuyasha followed his instructions.
"Why can't I just brush my teeth?" Inuyasha asked between mouthfuls of water.
"After getting sick, acid remains in your mouth and on your teeth, if you brush right away you take the acid and the weakened enamel off your teeth, which will eventually cause tooth decay if your teeth aren't taken care of, and I prefer my pets with teeth in a few years' time." Sesshomaru said matter of factly as he stripped Inuyasha of his only piece of clothing. Before Inuyasha could protest, he was naked and being placed in the tub.
"HOT, hot, hot, hot." Inuyasha yelped- he seemed to be doing that a lot lately- pulling his feet up to his chest in an attempt to avoid the water. Sesshomaru was having none of it and dropped Inuyasha into the water.
"Asshole." Inuyasha spluttered which got his ear a quick twist as his butt was unavailable at the moment. Inuyasha glared but kept quiet, instead he just squirmed as far away as he could when Sesshomaru started to wash his hair.
'Sit still. We have more to do today then just wash you." Inuyasha was about to protest when Sesshomaru growled a deep in the chest, primal, I am alpha- submit, growl. It sounded so angry that Inuyasha shrunk into himself. No one had ever growled at him in such animalistic, Inu way before. For the first time in his life Inuyasha felt not the need but the want to submit.
The rest of the bath went in silence. Sesshomaru moved Inuyasha when needed before pulling him out and wrapping him in a towel before placing Inuyasha on his back on the bed.
"What about-" Once again that growl stopped Inuyasha short and he dropped his head till his chin rested on his muscular chest. He could hear things being moved and shifted around the room but did not dare to look up, even though his curiosity was burning through him.
Finally Sesshomaru brought back- something, and slipped it around Inuyasha's waist, letting it drop to rest around Inuyasha's hips. As it settled Inuyasha heard it tinkle. Confused he started to feel around the odd 'belt'.
It felt like leather, but looked like cold, but was a lot stronger then both, and there seemed to be no way to unfasten it!? Hanging off his right hip was a thinner piece of the gold, with a medium sized medallion on it. It had a raised a quarter moon, much like the one on his masters forehead and an interact symbol etched onto it.
"Treated demon leather, and that's my symbol. It will tell all that you are my pet." Sesshomaru grabbed Inuyasha under the armpits and lifted him to stand. Before grabbing a pair of thin cotton pants off the bed and pulling them up Inuyasha's legs, allowing the medallion to hang out over the waist of the pants but hiding the rest of the 'belt'. Next was a chain wrapped around Inuyasha's neck with a small padlock locking it into place before a chain leash was attached to the collar.
"Wait a minute! Where the hell are we going?" Looking up Inuyasha saw Sesshomaru was impeccably dressed. His hair was smoothed and up in a pony-tail. A cotton t-shirt hugged his muscular torso, as jeans accented his legs, ad perfectly clean, all black runners encased his feet without them looking bulky. Inuyasha just blinked, his master was actually rather hot, and he was wearing sleeping pants a collar- where the hell were they going?
"To get your exercise." Was the calm reply before he tugged Inuyasha forward walking them from the room and out of the house, before Inuyasha really had a chance to study the house.
As soon as they stepped outside Inuyasha was blinded by the sunlight. He quickly shut his eyes as the sun burnt his eyes, but it did warm his skin and he wanted to stay in it as long as he could. To bad Sesshomaru had different ideas. Tugging Inuyasha, who stumbled his way after Sesshomaru, as his eyes still burnt with them closed, he was not going to open them and attempt to see where he was going.
When the tugging stopped Inuyasha stopped only to have a hand placed on his head, pushing him down and forward in the same motion.
"Step." Following the instruction/warning, Inuyasha stepped forward, ducking down and lifting his foot up higher then he normally would when taking a step forward, as he stepped.
Only to step into a FREZZER!
Opening his eyes Inuyasah wasn't in a Frezzer, but a large car (limo) that had obviously had it's a/c on for a while on full blast. Inuyasha shivered but quickly stopped as Sesshomaru stepped into the car. Once the door was pulled closed he let Inuyasha's leash go allowing Inuyasha to scramble to the corner seat, farthest away from Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru ignored him in favour for looking out the window. The car had only just stared to move when it stopped almost instantly.
Sesshomaru rolled down his window as Inuyasha crawled across the bench to get a better look. Standing outside was Sango, with relatively small bag in her hand.
"Sorry sir, but I heard it was muddy there and thought you would want him to wear these instead of getting dirty." She handed him the bag before stepping back clasping her hands in front of her as they pulled away.
Sesshomaru opened the bag and pulled out black Chinese flats- the same look and what appeared to be material as his pants.
"Inuyasha come here." Sesshomaru ordered, but Inuyasha refused, stubbornly staying in his chosen corner.
"You have three seconds or you will get flogged." Knowing it would not be a light flogging Inuyasha slowly moved closer to Sesshomaru, crawling along the bench till Sesshomaru pointed to the carpeted ground, were he crawled the rest of the way among the changing lights.
"On your back, feet up." Sesshomaru demanded when Inuyasha finally got to him.
"No way in hell! I'm not getting fucked here by you." Scampering away, retreating back to his corner. Sesshomaru growled moving over to Inuyasha, he grabbed an ear and dragged Inuyasha back over to where he had been sitting and tied Inuyasha to the seat using the leash.
Inuyasha's ear was let go only to be turned so his butt was facing Sesshomaru as he received ten swats from what felt like the Chinese slipper, before he was flipped again onto his back without a sound.
"You will keep those on till and during our stay at our destination." Sesshomaru snarled as he put the slippers on Inuyasha's feet.
"And what is our destination?- Sir" Inuyasha asked cautiously.
"To a place you will get your exercise. To the Pet Park." Inuyasha fell silent after that.
