Face flushed and heart beating erratically Inuyasha opened his eyes. Overwhelmed with what he had just dreamed of he took a few moments and just laid on his bed. While looking at the ceiling he was somewhat in shock; then again who wouldn't be after he had just been thru.

I-I can't believe what just happened... did I really have a dream where Kouga fingered me? Wait Kouga said that we were together there because we wanted to see each other... so that means it was more than a dream.

Inuyasha slowly sat up and stayed in a sitting position, being cautious of his still sensitive body and wet sheet. Getting up Inuyasha went to a drawer where his night clothes were at. His brother had decided that since he was going to stay at the castle with him he was going to have drawers full of clothes and a closet full of clothes. Inuyasha had told his brother that he didn't need all those clothes, but Sesshoumaru wouldn't listen and had gone and told the castle seamstress to make sure Inuyasha had many clothes to be able to choose from. At this moment with his wet pants Inuyasha was happy to be able to change into something dry. If he had been in the forest while this happened he would have just had to take them off and let them dry but now he didn't need to do that.

Not wanting to get back on the wet sheets Inuyasha walked across the room to where there was a window with a balcony, he stepped outside and leaned on the concrete and thought. Ok I know that Sesshoumaru said that he would take care of Kouga when he tried to approach me but now that I saw him in my dream I... I... want to see him in real life.

Turning his head up to the sky he admired the clear night, the stars so bright and beautiful. The moon was crescent shaped and looked majestic. It felt really relaxing to just look up at the sky and know that in these few moments everything was at peace.

I think that if Kouga does come over here to the castle I will give him an opportunity.

It was about midday when Inuyasha and his friends when to the garden to enjoy the beauty of it. In the garden there was hundredths of flowers and trees that had been growing in the garden since before his father had been born. At the moment the group was sitting under a tree, enjoying the shade and talking about the new situation that Inuyasha was in.

"So Inuyasha, how is it going here in the castle it must be different from what you're used to?" Asked Kagome with her eyes closed resting her head on Inuyasha's shoulder. She had woken up early and because of that she was currently tired.

"Well it is different from living in the forest obviously but it's not so bad. It's actually really nice, not having to worry about someone attacking you in your sleep and not worrying about something going wrong. Its…its really nice."

Looking away from his friends Inuyasha didn't want them to see the sadness in his eyes. For almost all of his life after his mother died he had wished that his brother would have been there to protect him and take care of him but he hadn't. Pushing the tears in his eyes away Inuyasha reminded himself that it wasn't Sesshoumaru's fault for being an ass hole. He himself had been a child and had acted childishly. What mattered now was that his brother had seen the error of his ways and was not trying to make it up to him. Seeing his brother approaching Inuyasha tried to lighten the mood.

"But then again living here in the castle also has its drawbacks. It can get boring here sometimes. I mean at least it was exciting in the forest, but here there's nothing really to do."

"That's what you may think my little brother, but you can always take my place and go to the meetings I go to, with the things I do you will have enough things to fill your day."

When he reached the group the older demon sad down next to his brother. Sesshoumaru wrapped his arm around Inuyasha's waist and pulled him towards him making Kagome remove her head from her friend's shoulder and almost fall. With a pout the human girl sat up and looked at Inuyasha's shoulder longingly.

Ever since Inuyasha had moved in to the castle Sesshoumaru had made it his mission to make sure that Inuyasha always felt how much love his brother had for him. It was his way of letting his brother know that he was sorry for the fighting they had done in the past and to make up for the past. Sesshoumaru knew that this was not going to be enough to make up for everything he had done but he hoped it was a start.

Inuyasha did not mind his brother's constant affection. He was happy that his brother wanted to make up for the time lost. It had been so long since he had felt the affection of a family member that he would cling to Sesshoumaru at times. There were times when it felt like a dream to him but then Sesshoumaru would make him realize that it wasn't a dream, that this was very real.

Snuggling close to his brother Inuyasha finally responded to what his brother had said. "All you do is boring, nothing but dealing with others problems and paperwork. Why would I want to fill my day with that?"

"Well then if you don't want to do that you can always find something to do yourself if you like?"

"Not a bad idea I think I'll watch you work when you're at your study, maybe I can find something to do there."

"I'm not sure if you should let Inuyasha in your study you never know what he might do there Sesshoumaru."

Smiling Miroku moved closer to Sango. Ever since they had reached the castle Sango had been quiet, most likely due to the fact that they we're in the presence of demons constantly. Or it could just be that she had nothing to say and wished to just listen.

"I think the monk has a point Inuyasha how about you just stay with your friends and when they leave we can think of something to do together, for example I can train you."

"Alright then we could do that."

After Kouga had woken up, Ginta and Hakkaku noticed he was a good mood and couldn't wait to see Inuyasha. They didn't know what had caused such a change in their leader but they were extremely happy it had happened. They also hoped that his good attitude lasted all the way to Lord Sesshoumaru's castle.

"Not much longer before we get there. Are you nervous Kouga?" Asked Ginta as he put out the small fire they had started in order to cook the meat they had hunted.

"Sort of, I'm sure it's going to go good though. I saw Inuyasha in my dreams; not the normal ones I have either it was really him, our dreams had combined and we met. I'm sure Inuyasha is going to give me a chance."

"I sure hope he does Kouga"

"Excuse me Lord Sesshoumaru?"

"Yes, what is it."

Looking up at his female servant Sesshoumaru frowned; he had told his servants not to bother him unless it was something important.

"You have a visitor, his name is Kouga and he says he is here to see your brother, Lord Inuyasha."
