Thank you for the review everyone!! And to Hiya120, I never noticed that I made Inuyasha pass out again until you mentioned it :D

Sorry, it's so short!

Chapter Three: Learning

'I-I'm cold, so cold. Sesshoumaru, where are you? Why is it so cold?' Somewhere in the white brightness, a voice called out in panic, but he found he couldn't find it, fumbling around; trying to feel around for a stable grip but everywhere he looked was white and blurred. He cried out as the pain in his chest from before returned again and he felt like he had been drained of absolutely all and any drops of energy left… A sound behind him caused him to turn around. A Youkai version of him was sitting on the floor and crying, he seemed so lost. 'Mate, where is mate?' it whispered. Inuyasha tried to fight his sleep, wanting to go over and comfort it, but his eyes had already closed.

Enira jumped in shock when extra weight and not to mention, an amazing fragrance of apples, cinnamon, and strawberries, landed on his shoulder. "Lord Inuyasha? Lord Inuyasha, are you all right?" He was about to shout for help but Sesshoumaru had already gone over and was lifting him up into his arms, walking swiftly on his way towards the Healing Wing.

The healers were in a meeting discussing a new medicine at the time but when they heard a bang of the doors hitting the wall, they hurried into the main room. They were greeted with the sight of a figure in their Lord Sesshoumaru's arms and quickly got into action. A couple minutes later, Yujiro; his Head of the healers had walked over, but instead of telling him what happened with Inuyasha, he was questioned.

"My Lord, I need to ask some personal questions for my suspicion, is that alright with you?" He nodded. "Have you two done any acts of sexual activity lately? And did you leave him for a period of time afterwards?" His eyes widened slightly, and then nodded again.

"Alright, well it is nothing big, but Lord Inuyasha is somewhat of a special case. His Youkai, has broke down because you have informally claimed him as your mate when you performed the sexual act and because you were initially new mates, you should not have been too far away from him, thus while you were gone, his beta Youkai had thought you did not wish to protect him or something like it along those lines. He can leave as soon as he awakens, but make sure to stay near him for the rest of the week. Heed this warning because we do not know what may happen if you do not." Yujiro warned and then walked away.

Sesshoumaru didn't know whether to be happy or not, the fact that Inuyasha could not refuse him now because they were already mates or that he was stuck to the dumb filthy hanyou for the rest of his life, the only good about it would be the sex, at this he thought of all the wonderful positions he could do with him, after all the hanyou was attractive though he did not want to admit it. Sighing, he told a guard to inform Jaken to move all his work into his room where he would be sharing with Inuyasha from now on and then sat in the chair beside Inuyasha's bed ready to wait out the rest of the night. Father and Lady Izaiyoi better thank him for fulfilling his last wish.

And he was right, Inuyasha had awoken around half past ten at night while he worked on his papers. "Sesshoumaru? Why am I here?" He asked confusedly, not remembering what happened. Sesshoumaru finished writing down the last few words inside the scroll before setting it aside.

"During the time we were in the hot spring," at this Inuyasha blushed, "our Youkai's have informally become mates, informally meaning yet to be marked, and it sets off a need for the two to be together just so the beta would not feel as if they have been abandoned. But due to some matters, I had left you this morning and your Youkai did not feel like it was being protected by the alpha, and it caused you some pain and you to pass out. So for the rest of this week, we must by each other, so never wander too far, Otouto."

"So we're mates now?!" he asked. "Informal mates, but yes, we are." Sesshoumaru couldn't help but correct him. 'Damn it all, I should have listened to that feeling telling me to go. Now I'll have to be stuck to fucking Sesshoumaru my whole life! (A/N: NO PUN INTENDED)' he thought. He laid his head back onto the pillow, just for a little while and Sesshoumaru continued what he was doing before he was interrupted.

"Can I leave yet? I feel fine." he asked when the silence got to him. Sesshoumaru looked up at him and glared. He shut up, and glared back at Sesshoumaru who had already gone back to his work. Sesshoumaru finally stopped writing and put everything away, making sure the ink did not spill onto the makeshift desk. A guard was called in and Sesshoumaru had him move all his work to his study. "Come Inuyasha, we must retire to our bedroom." Getting there seemed pretty hard, because Inuyasha had some trouble walking after his Youkai's panic attack and he would stumble every couple of step before Sesshoumaru got annoyed and wrapped a arm around his waist and picked him up, carrying him to their bedroom the rest of the way. Inuyasha struggled and stopped slowly after he got even more tired. When they walked passed a window, the moon shined delicately against Sesshoumaru's beautiful long hair, and just at that minute Inuyasha had looked up and was entranced by it. He looked beautiful, with the moon shining on him, how his hair fluttered behind him in the air. Registering this moment in his moment he looked away, blushing.

Sesshoumaru set him on the bed before heading to the closets, picking out two pairs of pajamas throwing the smaller of them towards the tired Hanyou on the bed. "Get changed." Inuyasha lifted his eyelids slightly and just tugged off his shirt, leaving his pants on; leaving the pajamas to sit by his feet. Sesshoumaru wasn't sure if he should leave him like that, showing off his chest or get him to change into pajamas which were probably more comfy, but covers everything, but Inuyasha had already fallen asleep. Sighing he walked over, and swiftly changed his brother with the pajama pants, trying hard not to lift the fundoshi as he did so, not knowing what might happen if he saw what lay underneath. Letting out the breath he didn't know he was holding, Sesshoumaru changed into his own pair and lay down, turning over to see the sleeping face so similar to his and fell asleep to hot dreams involving two silver-haired figures moving quickly on the same bed he lay on now…
