Lying on his bed, Kouga couldn't help but realize how lucky he is. Lucky because he didn't have to go to extreme measures so that he and Inuyasha could be allowed to bond. Sure there had been trouble with Sesshoumaru but the other demon had agreed to let them be together. This was a very big step.
It may take a while but for Inuyasha I will try to get along with his brother.
Turning to his side, Kouga stared at the sky outside his window. The sky was a little cloudy but the stars and moon still shined thru. Still looking up at the sky Kouga sighed in content and closed his eyes. Before going to sleep he had one last thought. I guess I can try to talk to him in private...were both grown demons we can have a civilized conversation.

Getting up early and bathing and then getting dressed Kouga left his room searched for Sesshoumaru. After searching blindly Kouga groaned; instead of searching with his eyes he could have been searching with his nose. Once he searched with his nose it didn't take him long to find him since he had sniffed the castle for another thirty minutes. When Kouga finally found Sesshoumaru he was in one of his studies.
Knock knock
Not waiting for a reply Kouga stepped in the room. Without even bothering to look around Kouga saw Sesshoumaru sitting at his desk and walked straight towards him. Standing in front of Sesshoumaru's desk Kouga waited to be acknowledged. The other demon didn't even look up as he spoke to the wolf demon.
"What do you want wolf?"
"I want to have to speak with you."
Finally, lifting up his head Sesshoumaru looked at Kouga for a few tense minutes before he replied. "Sit down then so we can talk."
Sitting on one of the comfortable chairs in front of the desk he looked at Sesshoumaru. The other male had a face of indifference, but Kouga knew that when it came to Inuyasha he was very concerned. He wanted to make it up to his brother so Kouga couldn't really blame him for wanting only the best for his brother.
"I just want you to know that I'm only doing this for Inuyasha. I know it hurts him that we don't get along."
"That is fine with me. I will also only do this for Inuyasha. I should let you know that if Inuyasha wasn't involved I would have not even given you any thought."
"Yeah...well the same goes for me."
After a few more minutes of tense silence Kouga finally said. "I...I know that from your point of view it might look like I just want to use Inuyasha but it's not like that. I really love your brother; the only thing I regret though is that I didn't notice it sooner. You can believe me when I say Lord Sesshoumaru that for as long as Inuyasha and I live I will prove my love...whether you believe me or not." Keeping the steady gaze that Kouga had Sesshoumaru replied. "Those are pretty words that might work with my little brother, but they don't work on me. Why should I believe your confessions of love?"
"To tell you the truth I don't care if you believe me as long as Inuyasha believes in me then that's all that matters to me. I love Inuyasha...and even though we might have argued in the past and will need to get over those things I still love him. Just like you love him Lord Sesshoumaru."
Looking at each other for a while after what was said Sesshoumaru nodded his head and replied. "Alright then; I will give you a opportunity... though if you ever hurt my baby brother I will kill you in the worst way possible and then bring you back with my Tenseiga and then do the process all over again."
Smirking a little at the Inu-demon's threat Kouga just whispered one sentence. "I wouldn't expect anything less from you Lord Sesshoumaru."

In the next chapter I will only have before and after the ceremony. I don't think I'd do the ceremony justice so I'm just going to skip it.
