A/N This chapter is dedicated to AHumbleBumbleThatMumbles and

A Single Fragile Rose, who both sent me REALLY nice messages that really inspired me to update…..

That being said….I'm getting to the end of what I have written down and I'm not really sure where to go from there because I don't want to rely on the original story too much, so if any of my lovelies out there have any suggestions for me I would LOVE to hear them.

ON WITH THE STORY!


"Inu-baby you look SENsational!" Miroku crowed as he admired Inuyasha model his creation of rope and ripped sails.

Inuyasha took a swipe at the irritating avian while inwardly preening. Suddenly his puppy ears twitched as the sound of heavy footfalls reached him and his friends. Fearing the worst, the ex-merman jumped onto a ledge and got into a defensive position, teeth bared, claws raised, and ears back. Soon enough around the corner came a vaguely familiar two-headed dragon. Inuyasha snarled and was about to destroy the threat when a VERY familiar silver-headed prince appeared.

Inuyasha quickly smoothed down his "clothes" and pulled his hair over one shoulder, trying to look as much like a savior as he could; all the while marveling at how good Sesshomaru looked when he was wearing a silk kimono instead of sailing clothes.

"Ah-Un! What are you doing?" Sesshomaru asked. He looked up to see what had attracted his dragons' attention and his eyes alighted upon a boy perched on a ledge. Judging by the way Ah-Un was standing at the bottom of the ledge Sesshomaru assumed that his faithful steed had cornered the boy and was harassing him. Sesshomaru may have had an icy personality, but his manners were impeccable, so he immediately began to apologize for his dragons' behavior.

"I apologize if Ah-Un scared you. He is not normally inclined to chase Two-legged prey…" Sesshomaru actually trailed off mid-sentence as he actually looked at the boy. As he took in the bronzed skin, white hair, golden eyes, and puppy ears, the face of his savior flashed before his minds-eye.

"You seem very…familiar to me." He said. The boy on the rock just smiled brighter.

"Have we met before?" he asked.

Although he didn't show it, Sesshomaru was slightly exhilarated when the boy started nodding profusely.

"We have met?" Sesshomaru felt an alarmingly large amount of hope welling in his chest.

"You're the one that I've been looking for!" Sesshomaru could have sworn that the boy's face would split in half from the smile that broke across it, and his heart started to beat a little bit faster.

"What is your name?" the demon prince asked.

Inuyasha opened his mouth to respond…..but nothing came out. After a few failed attempts he remembered the price he paid for his legs, so he settled for tapping his throat and shaking his head. Inuyasha felt a crack run down his heart as he watched the visible hope fade from his prince's beautiful golden eyes.

"I see." Sesshomaru slipped on his cold mask of indifference and tried not to show how disappointed he was.

"Then I was mistaken."

Both Inuyasha and Ah-Un huffed in frustration as they tried to think of ways to make Sesshomaru understand that Inuyasha WAS the one he was looking for. Inuyasha's brilliant idea was to try and pantomime what had happened to him.

Sesshomaru just raised an eyebrow at the boy's flailing and was about to turn and leave when a certain white-haired mute decided to fall on him.

Inuyasha's heart started pounding as he realized how intimate their position was. Inuyasha's arms were around Sesshomaru's neck while Sesshomaru's were around his waist. Their bodies were pressed flush together and Sesshomaru was slightly lifting Inuyasha so that his toes barely brushed the sand.

Sesshomaru was looking down at the fuzzy ears that had been unceremoniously shoved into his face when the mute boy looked up and Sesshomaru managed to get lost in those eyes that looked so much like his own. The two pretty boys stayed staring at eachother until Sesshomaru realized that his hands were clutching bare skin. That was when Sesshomaru took in what the boy was wearing. His eyes roamed down the tanned body, taking in the lithe muscles until they rested on the miniscule piece of cloth that hung dangerously from the half-demon's hips. Sesshomaru felt heat rush through his veins, heading south, so he abruptly put the slightly dazed boy down. Only to have him fall straight back into the prince's arms.


Inuyasha was startled out of his daze when his prince tried to put him down, he would have been annoyed but his leg immediately gave out and he fell back onto Sesshomaru. Inuyasha smirked as his nose was accidently pushed into the older demon's chest. He felt a tingle run down his spine and settle in his groin as he breathed in Sesshomaru's spicy scent.

Sesshomaru stiffened as he found himself with another armful of sexy demon.

Did he just sniff me? The prince asked himself as he felt the boy nuzzle his chest. He cleared his throat to get the mute's attention. Inuyasha looked up and what he heard made his heart sing.

"You must have really been through something. Come with me, I'll help you." Sesshomaru had to stop himself from squinting at the blinding brightness of the boys smile.

Sesshomaru put one arm around Inuyasha's waist to support him, ignoring the heat that rose from the bronze hip under his hand, and started to walk towards the castle.

Inuyasha was in HEAVEN! He had legs, he was on land, and the man of his dreams was taking him home! Life doesn't get much better…
