Oh Brother Thou Art...an Idiot

Chapter Seven

Oh Brother Thou Art...an Idiot

Inuyasha had run all night. He was determined to find out what the hell was going on with that bastard and his Kagome. Yes, she was most definitely his Kagome. He loved her but it was different than it used to be plus, he wasn't ready to settle down yet. So he avoided her while he went wild. Eventually, he would calm himself down and mate with her. He was growing tired of the village girls anyway. He had done everything sexually he knew how to do and was becoming bored. He was thinking about talking to Kagome about this in a couple of weeks, and then this had to happen.

Damn his brother.

He knew something was going on between the two and he was going to figure out what.

The western fortress came into view as dawn approached.

Inuyasha noticed two guards at the gates. His speed slowed as he neared, but he was more than determined to get where he needed, ready to use force should it be necessary. The guards were nothing special in his opinion. One was tall, had ice blue eyes and white hair in a high ponytail. He smelled like a dog demon. He wore an outfit similar to Sesshomaru's except there were no patterns and it was light blue. The armor looked the same though, signaling that he was high ranking, probably a general or captain. The second one was a kitsune with red hair and light brown eyes. He wore a black kimono that was outlined in blue vines at the sleeves. He only armor was a breastplate. Both narrowed their eyes at him as he neared.

"Move your asses. I need to see Sesshomaru".

Captain Seiya, the dog demon, further eyed Inuyasha, giving a subtle sniff in his direction and then nodded to the lower ranking kitsune, letting him know to alert Lord Sesshomaru of their guest. This was the great dog demon's second son. He had heard that despite his half-demon heritage, he was a great warrior. Sizing him up by his current temperament, he would have to say that rumor was highly exaggerated. He looked at the half-breed in front of him with disgust. A truly great warrior would have known how to present himself to meet a lord, even one whom he despised.

"Lord Sessshomaru, will be alerted of your presence Master Inuyasha, and will be down when he finds it acceptable."

Inuyasha was losing his patience. "I want that fucker here now".

Seiya resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He could not stand in the half demon's way however if he wanted to enter; half breed or not, this was as much his home as Lord Sesshomaru's. If he knew his Lord though, there was going to be a blood bath this morning.

"Where the hell is he? I ain't got all day!"

He grit his teeth at the hanyou's grating voice. Yes, a blood bath, and then a dead hanyou.

"Goddamit Sesshomaru, get your ass out here you bastard!"

Inuyasha wasn't having it. He knew Sesshomaru could hear him. Hell the bastard probably smelt him coming for miles. Who the fuck did he think he was, taking his sweet time.

Inuyasha jumped over the gate and landed in the courtyard.

Seiya motioned for a nearby guard to take his place and followed after the young master. Lord Sesshomaru wasn't going to like this one bit, not at all.

"Oy Sesshomaru, get your ass out here." Inuyasha yelled loudly. He wanted to know what the fuck was up and he wanted to know now.

Seiya sighed and this time he didn't resist the urge to roll his eyes.

~~**~~

Sesshomaru was quickly losing his patience. He had heard the half-breed and his captain's response. Then he was subject to more of Inuyasha's irritating voice. The idiot truly had no manners. Still hearing the hanyou yell for him, his eyes began to bleed a deep red. He was very close to losing his own calm and rushing to throttle Inuyasha, but he held fast, willing his beast to stand down. Besides, for some strange reason, the miko held a soft spot for the mutt, and he would not cause her any undue distress at his hands. Let her deal with him for the time being. He turned to his miko, her large eyes staring at him, while Mayu was still holding her.

Narrowing his eyes upon her, he spoke. "Get him out of here Miko, or shut him up."

His anger, as the miko was aware, was not aimed at her, but at the rude being still yelling about herself and Sesshoumaru holed up and ignoring him. His eyes still unnerved her, and she was well aware of the concealed threat to the hanyou should she fail her task or should the hanyou fail to listen. As rocky as her relationship with Inuyasha, she didn't want to see him die. At least not so soon. She suppressed a shudder as she gathered the robe around her body and tied the sash, readying herself to meet with Inuyasha.

"I'll try. "

Mayu stayed close to her new mistress, sensing her disturbance of the two male demons.

She wanted to throw something at them for worrying Kagome. Males and their pride- it was ridiculous. She hoped, despite the sound of the irate hanyou and the growing displeasure of her lord indicating otherwise, that this would be done with quickly; she was looking forward to bathing the miko this morning before first meal.

"Come Lady Kagome," Mayu stated and grabbed Kagome around the waist and ushered her to the room to the right of them.

When Kagome entered the room she noted it was a little smaller than their bedroom. She also saw another double door that seemed to have some steam coming from it. Lining the walls were what looked like expensive female's clothing. Perfectly creased in a variety of colors and designs. She looked quizzically at Mayu.

Mayu almost giggled at the expression.

Milady is jealous already!

She felt needed to clarify to the small woman for, if rumors were true, this one had a temper.

"My Lord had them brought here for you. We will get you clothed quickly and subdue Master Inuyasha. After, we can go to the hot springs and then have breakfast."

The miko's face visibly relaxed and a sweet smile graced her lips.

"Alright," Kagome would agree to anything she said after the hot springs.

After Mayu dressed her in a two-layer kimono, she wrapped her arms around her waist to tie the obi. Tightening the intricate knot and securing the folds of extra fabric, she trailed her hands gently up the miko's back and towards her shoulders. Higher still, she tickled at the soft skin on the curve of her neck and then lowered her head to kiss the skin there.

Kagome was frozen as Mayu's hands ghosted over her flesh as she dressed her. She was not sure what to do with the feelings she was experiencing. Another woman touching her was not a foreign sensation. She had been in locker rooms, sleepovers, changing stalls in the mall. A woman touching or dressing another was not a new concept, but having this one touch her was something different altogether. Then, when Mayu kissed her, she was at a loss, but she couldn't deny that she kind of liked it.

Mayu pulled back, flicking a glance at the blushing miko, and went to move about the room to locate something. She returned to Kagome with cup in hand and some slightly minty smelling liquid.

Mayu handed her a cup and told her it was for gargling. Kagome took it and did so. She noticed that her teeth felt like she had been to dentist and got a cleaning. Where was this in her time? That was a lot easier than brushing her teeth and actually felt cleaner.

Handing the cup back to Mayu, she found the demoness unabashedly staring, as if waiting for the right moment to say something.

As for Mayu, she wanted to talk to her lady but now wasn't the time. She would talk to her later during her bath.

"Come my lady, Master Inuyasha grows more impatient."

Mayu then moved to grab Kagome at her hips molding the small miko against her own body. Kagome looked up timidly at her, a faint blush staining her cheeks. Mayu smiled.

She bent down, placing her lips close to the miko's ear and softly said, "I will transport us as it will be quicker. To do that we must be close." It wasn't a complete lie. They did in fact had to be close to one another, at least touching, and just simply holding her hand wouldn't do. Admittedly, she could have just linked arms or draped around her shoulders. No harm no foul.

Kagome nodded her head and wrapped her arms around Mayu's middle. When her fingers came in contact with the demoness' skin, Mayu shivered.

Mayu had never been shy about anything. She wanted this miko and she was determind to get her. Based on the look her Lord gave her earlier, her advances would be welcome and rewarded. But now was not the time to think of such things. There was an irate hanyou to be rid of before anyone could think of any pleasurable moments to be had. Summoning her powers, they were transported from the room to right in front of a very agitated hanyou.

What fun this would be.

~~**~

Sesshomaru stared at the door where the ladies had disappeared. He had listened closely and noticed Kagome's intakes of breath and wondered just what Mayu was doing to her. He then noted the smell of arousal coming from both of them. It was a subtle change in the air, but it was there. She had a very small amount of time to calm his brother down before he did something about it. He wanted a show and he was sure if his baka brother weren't here he would have had one by now.

He noted from the silence in the room that Mayu had used the most effective mode of transportation.

Good, the quicker they got there, the quicker the fool can be rid of and they could get back to…

He looked down at himself and grimaced at how hard his length was. He was frustrated. The combination of the two females arousal, his brother still barking about- and his inability to rectify the former because of the latter problem- had him wanting to forget any diplomacy and just kill the brat then bed the women. Once again, he had to calm himself before appearing in front of Inuyasha. If ever there were a question of his superiority, one would only need to be witness to his constant need to deflate himself as if on cue.

Sesshomaru strode towards his closet. He grabbed a pair of hakamas and slid them over his hips. After securing them, he sent out his aura for the cook. When his miko came back, he would have her breakfast waiting. He deduced that Mayu was taking her to the hot springs after her little meeting with the moron in his courtyard. That gave his cook plenty of time to prepare an adequate meal to break the miko's fast. When she got back, they would dine together, and then they would enjoy each other's company.

~~**~~**

Kagome didn't know what happened for sure. One minute she was wrapped very tightly in Mayu's arms and the next she was in front of a very irate dog demon. A dog demon that looked pissed to have his favorite bone taken away.

"What the fuck Kagome… and who is this bitch."

Ah, there was that little tic in her eye she thought she had been rid of a long time ago.

"Well, you gonna talk or ain't ya?"

"Inuyasha, sit."

Seiya had just come upon the scene. After carefully looking down at the crater the young master had just made, he looked up into a pair of beautiful brown eyes. Who was this beautiful creature with Mayu? She looked and smelled so innocent and he was sure she wearing nothing under that skimpy kimono. He quickly averted his eyes as he sensed Mayu's anger and looked towards her narrowed eyes. From the energies he felt from the beautiful woman, he surmised she must be his lord's Miko, as there were no other mikos in attendance that he could sense, and he had known of his lord's preparations for a miko to live at the fortress. Internally sighing at his luck, he looked one last time at the miko. Guess he wouldn't get to sample that. Seiya turned his attention back towards the grumbling Inuyasha formed crater.

Mayu was very amused. She had heard of her lady's temper, one of the reasons the evil hanyou was nowhere to be found. She couldn't feel bad for the younger master though, really he should have known better by now.

"Inuyasha, why are you here?"

Inuyasha stuck his head out from his crater.

"Why the fuck do you think? I followed you and fuck face"

He jerkily dislodged himself from the ground, glaring daggers at the demon that was so close to Kagome.

Sesshoumaru decided to watch the proceedings from a concealed window. No, he was not hiding; he just wanted to see how things would play out between the miko and his brother. Whether or not it would be necessary to sully his own hands with the whelp's blood.

Sesshomaru smirked at Inuyasha as the boy stood. He was intrigued by how deeply the miko embedded the whelp with the command spoken only once. At one point in time, she needed to repeat the word in succession to receive such results.

"What are you doing with him Kagome? I saw you guys kissing and next thing I know, you're flying off with him."

Seiya and Mayu smirked at the master's revelation. It was obvious why she was with him, as she smelled strongly of their lord.

Kagome was flustered. It was one thing to do what she wanted, it was quite another to have every demon in the vicinity know what she did and with whom. The more she thought about her current situation, the more surprise turned to irritation. What did anything she did have to do with him? Why was he so concerned? Did she act like this when he was fucking everything with two legs and breasts? No! She wasn't his. Her aura flared around her letting everything in the area, human or demon, know that she was pissed.

" That's none of your business Inuyasha. Go home."

" No. Bitch, I am not leaving without you. C'mon."

When Kagome made no move, he commanded her once again.

"Let's go. Now."

When she only continuing to stare at him, arms crossed, he moved to pick her up but before he could get to her he found himself knocked on his back.

Mayu had heard enough. She had better things to do than to listen to the ignorant pup tell her lady what she was going to do. When he moved to touch her that was unacceptable. She elbowed him, effectively knocking him back several feet. She moved to do more damage before her lady stopped her.

"Inuyasha I am going to stay with Sesshomaru, we are in a relationship."

The half- demon scoffed at the words, snorting his nose like a bull.

"Relationship my ass Kagome, are you that naïve? Sesshomaru doesn't like humans. "

Mayu felt it her time to offer her thoughts, even though what she itched to really do was slap the young master around a little.

"On the contrary Master Inuyasha. Since Lady Rin has been here, Lord Sesshomaru has employed humans. Some of his most trusted guards are human. They receive equal respect here, as long as they do nothing to tarnish their lords honor or that of their own."

Seiya nodded his head. The past couple of years, the lord has dealt more with humans. They were not running rampant through the castle, but they were present and they earned their respect.

Sesshomaru listened intently. He thought he was going to have to behead inuyasha when he moved to touch Kagome. However, Mayu was most efficient in repelling his advance. He was pleased she had restraint to not take more drastic measures. It would slow things down between the miko and himself if she decided to weep over a mangled arm or a hole somewhere in his torso. That fact was the only reason he wasn't sticking his foot in the whelps ass.

"Kagome, I care for you. I thought you were waiting for me."

"I moved on from you a long time ago. Why do you think I don't care when you go off to sow your seeds?"

"But, we were supposed…"

She interrupted him, cutting short his of promises and dreams. She'd heard them all before, but this time there was nothing to hold her to him.

"I want to stay. I am going to stay. I'm sorry, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head. He never thought she would give up on him. She always waited for him. She always forgave him. She promised to stand by him.

No she wouldn't leave him; he wouldn't allow it.

Seiya was annoyed. This was getting old. Obviously the girl belonged to lord Sesshomaru. She wanted to remain with their lord. She no longer wanted the hanyou. He nodded to Mayu to signal her to take the woman inside. It would do no good for anyone involved if she were to remain. He would handle it from here. Mayu nodded and grabbed Kagome's waist and was gone.

Inuyasha growled when Kagome disappeared. It wasn't in him to just give up. Kagome had always been there, by his side, and it was back by his side she would come. He wasn't going to give up.

"Bitch, bring Kagome back here!" he yelled into the wind. He knew without a doubt that the demoness could hear him, and quite possibly Kagome with how loudly he bellowed.

Seiya growled loudly. He had better things to do than play with the puppy. He was sure Kataru was waiting for his shift to be over.

"Master Inuyasha the girl has chosen and she has not chosen you. You say you care for her, but do you care enough to let her go so that she can be happy?"

"Shut the hell up! You don't know anything. I love her." How dare this arrogant prick try and put his two cents into their business.

"You are right. I don't know too much about your previous relationship with my Lords intended. I do know however that you smell of many other females. My Lord has forsaken all others for twelve moon cycles to prepare to court the miko. Yet you come here smelling of others to stake your claim on her. You, master Inuyasha, are an idiot and do not deserve my Lady's affection"

Reluctant to admit to any wrongdoing, Inuyasha would silently admit that he had been less than reliable when it came to Kagome. Inuyasha thought about what the demon said. He never considered waiting for her. He had always assumed that she would be there and would wait for however long it took before he decided to settle down. Then the decision had finally turned to ask her in a few weeks. With his track record- even though he made the decision to commit to her in a few weeks- those weeks could turn into months, months to years, and then… But how long would she have to wait before he actually made the move? She was human, and though young, by the time he actually said the words and made the complete gesture, she may have become too old… or been dead. Disturbed by the thought, he sighed. As much as he would like to storm through the castle and drag Kagome back home with him he knew he couldn't force her. Plus he didn't really feel like dealing with his bastard brother.

Decision made he looked to Seiya. " Will you tell her that I'd like to see her again? I'ill be back in a week. And tell her that I love her and only want her to be happy."

"I will master Inuyasha and when you return we will have a place for you to lay your head. Lord Sesshomaru will be relieved to hear you have dismissed your claim."

Oh yeah, he forgot about that prick. He still hadn't made an appearance.

"Sesshomaru get your ass down here. I just have something to say then I will be on my way."

This time, he did appear and Seiya bowed lowly to him. He had jumped down from what seemed like a balcony and landed gracefully on his feet. He turned to face Inuyasha. He stood about 4 feet from him.

"Cease your barking Inuyasha. What is it you wish to tell me?"

Inuyasha closed the distance between them and said coldly, "Hurt her ya bastard and I will kill you."

Sesshomaru looked at his younger sibling and calmly stated, "Ridiculous. The miko is mine. I do not harm my own."

Inuyasha looked at his brother and then turned to look at Seiya. With a nod to him he turned and ran back towards the gate and jumped over. He kept running until he could no longer be seen.

Sesshomaru looked at Seiya.

"Well Lord Sesshomaru, master Inuyasha sure knows how to make a first impression and that language, by the Gods."

"Yes he is fluent in speaking stupid."

With that spoken Sesshomaru leaped up and disappeared on his balcony. Seiya watched as he disappeared inside.

Oh well, his shift was over, and he had a meeting with a very entertaining demoness. With that last thought, Seiya strode into the fortress.

Please Review.
