Inuyasha was in his bedroom covering his face with a pillow. He was still so mortified. It had been so embarrassing, and Sesshomaru's reaction had made it worse. Inuyasha removed the pillow and stared at the ceiling.
"Sure. But not today." With that he'd left chuckling.
It'd made him feel weird, he closed his eyes. He couldn't avoid the lord forever. He wasn't even sure how his own divinity would affect a mortal; he'd never shared with one. One wrong move and he could burn them to a crisp. Sesshomaru wasn't making it any better either because when they did come into contact with each other he'd chuckle, it was really starting to piss him off. A servant began knocking at his door. "What?"
"My lord…are you planning to attend the banquet?" She asked tensely.
Someone had mentioned the banquet to him before. He didn't know what it was for and didn't really care about the activities of mortals, but he was bored and wanted to people watch more. According to what he'd heard from many of the servants, many of the powerful leaders would be there. He was curious about their strength. So, he stood and allowed them to help him prepare, all while steeling his nerves in preparation of seeing his irritating ass brother.
By the time he was ready the banquet was in full swing. He took a look at himself in the full-length mirror. He nodded, he looked good. He snapped and increased his glow, "Better."
"Milord…you're shining." It wasn't as strong as when he'd first arrived, but it was brighter than what he allowed daily. It helped him control people's perception of him.
"Ignore it. Let's go." When he exited, his usual guard Shino was waiting outside, and they walked to the banquet hall. Inuyasha could hear all of the commotion inside and could smell them too. He scrunched up his face, the odor was unbelievable. He could understand if it were just humans, but to have that kind of stench coming off youkai was interesting. It was sour, and they were drenched in whatever perfumes they coated themselves in.
The doors were opened for him, and he was suddenly announced. He upped his glow so he could slip in and observe but they'd ruined it. "Prince Inuyasha." The silence in the room was glaring. Everyone was looking at him as he entered. This was annoying. He couldn't smell Sesshomaru and realized he hadn't arrived yet. Luckily, however, he could see Kouga. Everyone was looking at him with bated breath as he made his way through the crowd. They began whispering to each other quietly.
"That's the lord's brother!"
"They don't look much alike."
"I wonder at his age."
"Why has he only now just returned?"
Inuyasha stopped in front of Kouga, who looked irritated already. "How do you deal with this?" Inuyasha asked through clenched teeth.
"I come late and leave early." He responded, knowing exactly what he was referring to.
"Dear prime minister, might I have the pleasure of introducing myself to the prince." A tall, large man bellowed joyfully.
"I'll never get used to other people calling me a prince." Inuyasha mumbled under his breath.
"Prince Inuyasha, this is Abe-san. He oversees a large territory in the east." Kouga explained, getting a look from Inuyasha because of the title. The man held his hand out and Inuyasha just looked at it, unsure of what the man was doing. "The prince doesn't like being touched." Kouga said sternly, feeling annoyed about how long he'd already been there.
"My apologies dear prince. It's nice to meet you. It's great that our powerful lord has family to rely on." The smile he gave Inuyasha was tense.
Inuyasha shrugged, "What does he need to rely on me for? He conquered the world on his own."
Abe began to laugh loudly, causing Kouga to grimace. "That's true. I'm only 557 so I haven't been around for the entire journey. However, I and many others are so very curious about you milord. Where have you been? They say you're over 1000 years old as well. Is there a reason you weren't by the lord's side?"
Inuyasha thought about how best to answer this. He didn't want these people to get any ideas about him and how he lived his life to this point. "What exactly are you asking me?"
Kouga was silent, but he was very amused. He hated his position as prime minister because he had to deal with these people on a regular basis. They were conniving, greedy bastards, who always tried to trick people with their words because they weren't physically strong enough. Abe only smiled, "You were gone for so long and Lord Sesshomaru never mentioned a younger brother. I guess we're all curious about your relationship."
"Why is that any of your business?" Inuyasha stared directly at him, wondering what he was going to say next. Many minor gods under big names acted this way, as if the person they groveled under would save them.
His questioned caused Abe to pause. Many had reported that the younger prince was open and honest and answered questions without much thought or care. "It isn't….I was just curious milord." He said with a bow. The prince always insulted him, so they assumed their relationship was quite bad, but then again there was that other rumor going around.
"So, if you're all so curious, why haven't you asked Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha began to look around and many of them looked away. "Man, youkai are lame. Have a backbone goddamn it." He huffed, he was tired of them practically pissing themselves about things and the fact that they were doing it even now was annoying.
"Ah, s-sorry milord. You are just…easier to approach." Abe explained hesitantly.
"It's not like he's gonna gut you if you talk to him. He doesn't even look scary. His face is about the only good thing about him." Inuyasha looked at the man. "Our relationship is amicable. I travel the world and keep to myself. I just needed a favor, so I'll be here for a while. We haven't seen each other in a long time, and he thought I was dead. The last time we saw each other was when-!"
"Lord Sesshomaru." The announcer declared, cutting him off.
Everyone aside from him bowed to Sesshomaru as he walked to him and Kouga. "Y'know Kouga, it's really embarrassing to see you bow to him too." Inuyasha commented cheekily, making the youkai growl. "You used to have a backbone."
"The last time I saw my younger brother, is when he told me youkai were going to disappear from the world. That I should be prepared because he didn't know what would occur to make such a thing happen. My younger brother is the reason you all live currently, and youkai have not gone extinct." Sesshomaru spoke as he reached them. "You may rise." All those in the room lifted their heads. Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha's surprised face and held back the desire to smile, "So you like my face then?"
"Ugh." Inuyasha grimaced before huffing and walking off. It took every nerve in Sesshomaru's body, not to burst into laughter. Inuyasha made his way further in where he saw Shippo standing with a woman and two small children.
"Inuyasha! This is my mate Yukihara. And our kids, Maki and Suhuo." Shippo looked every bit the proud father and Inuyasha couldn't help his smile.
Yukihara bowed to him, "Shippo has told me many stories of you. Thank you for caring for him. I'm happy I was able to meet him." Inuyasha nodded, happy that Shippo had been living a fulfilling life. The kits were adorable too. He spoke with them a while, and let the tiny Maki touch his ears like he so clearly wanted to before heading off to find a corner to sit in.
He was looking over the selection of wine at the table, he was definitely going to need it if he was going to deal with the smell and the people. "Prince Inuyasha." Inuyasha turned to see a few men and women. "Since you've returned recently, we'd like permission to invite you to the various events that we plan."
Inuyasha grabbed the best smelling wine and took a sip. "What kind of events are you talking about?"
"Well, we host charities, auctions, dances, tea parties, and the like. Typically, they are used for youkai to mingle without care." She explained with a smile.
"But I'm not youkai." Inuyasha said bluntly. This caused everyone in the room who heard, to stop.
"…y…you aren't youkai?" She asked, obviously confused.
"Nope. I'm a half-demon. My mother was human." Inuyasha wanted to laugh at the jaw dropped looks of those around them. He was trying not to. They seemed so surprised. "What? Didn't expect the demon lord to have a hanyou sibling?"
"I-it is not that milord! It's just that your aura is so powerful we simply assumed you to be…" She explained quickly so she didn't offend him.
"Well, even back in the day I was stronger than most youkai." Inuyasha began to explain.
"Don't allow your ego to grow too big Inuyasha." He heard Sesshomaru say from across the room under his breath, Kouga and Shippo began laughing.
He wouldn't be dignifying their taunting with a response. "Wow, it's rare to meet such powerful beings. They don't usually like to participate in society. Much like yourself then." She and the others were so astounded by the facts that they'd learned. The prince was a half-demon! "Even half-demons come to our events, so you are welcome regardless."
"Alright, I'll think about it." Inuyasha sipped the wine more.
He made his way through the crowd and finally to the throne that sat at one side of the room, elevated. No one was over here so he took a seat and continued to watch the crowd. Sesshomaru was sort of surrounded but not really, as people were afraid to brush up against him, even accidently. Some people seemed shocked that he was sitting on the throne and would look at Sesshomaru before looking back at him. Sesshomaru looked at him, so he flipped him off. "I said later Inuyasha." He heard the lord say under his breath. Spitting some of the wine out and choking on it a bit as he cleared his airway.
"I fucking hate you bastard." Inuyasha whispered back. "Why are they so weak?" He continued whispering since it seemed that the only people who could hear, were he, Sesshomaru, Kouga, and Shippo.
Kouga and Shippo seemed to stiffen at his question, he thought that was weird. He would have thought many powerful youkai at least remained. The lack of godly intervention didn't account for those ones dying off. "I killed many of them. I had no need for powerful fools who couldn't look pass their own greed."
"Figures." Inuyasha nodded, not surprised by the response. He finished his glass, and another was brought to him. "Too bad, I'm itching for a good fight." Kouga and Shippo seemed to agree with him. The hanyou was getting bored. The only thing this banquet was missing was the orgy the gods found a way to make a part of everything. Before he realized it, he was on his seventh glass. They weren't even dancing; damn mortals were boring. He was becoming intoxicated, but he didn't really care. He blinked and there seemed to be a man standing at the bottom of the stairs. "What?" Inuyasha asked looking him up and down. He was alright, at least the youkai of this world had their looks.
"Hello prince. I just decided to say hello, since you seem to be enjoying the banquet about as much as I am." The young man laughed.
"Yeah, it's dry." Inuyasha nodded, accepting his eighth glass from a servant.
"They tend to be that way unfortunately." The man turned around to see the meandering people.
"Come here." Inuyasha spoke.
"Milord?"
"I feel like I'm shouting. Come here." Inuyasha ordered.
"Ah, right away milord!" He hurried up the steps and stood to the side, looking down at the crowd with him.
"Want a glass?"
"Sure."
"What's your name?"
"Abe Ren milord."
"Oh, so you're that fucker's kid?" Inuyasha asked bluntly, shocking him.
"Nephew…..actually." Ren chuckled. He didn't know what he'd do if that was his father.
Inuyasha was drunk enough to laugh at the face Ren made at the thought. Maybe all the youkai weren't so bad. At least this one didn't smell which was odd and interesting. They ended up talking and laughing for a while before Jaken came up to them with his squawking voice.
"You shouldn't be sitting on milord's throne! No one is allowed to sit there aside from the king!" he squawked angrily. "And you shouldn't even be on this platform!" He shouted at Ren who became extremely nervous.
With a well-placed foot, the little toad went tumbling down the stairs. "Hey Sesshomaru! Your little toad thing is annoying me." People in the room turned and it became silent as he'd said it much louder than he intended. Sesshomaru held in his sigh.
"I'm just telling you about the law! You're not above the law's set my milord!"
"Actually, according to him. I am." Inuyasha glared at the toad. "Besides." He turned and threw his feet over the side of the throne. "He doesn't care if I'm sitting here. Isn't that right Sess-aniue!?"
Sesshomaru could only raise an eyebrow. "Jaken." The little toad popped up at his voice. "Leave him be."
"What was it that he said? 'He is not bound by my word nor my laws.'" Inuyasha chuckled at the faces in the room. It was interesting to hear them whispering about why he'd be above the law. That even Sesshomaru could be held somewhat accountable for some things.
"Prime minister…why is it that prince Inuyasha is above the law?" Kouga was being bombarded by many questions and glared to quiet them. He wanted to face palm, trying to think of a professional way to say, 'he's a fucking brat and the moment Sesshomaru tries to order him not to do something he'll do it and 10 other worse things.' Kouga wanted to punch the hanyou who remained where he was laughing stupidly.
"Milord must be really powerful and respected to allow that kind of power." Ren smiled as he finished his 6th glass. Talking to the prince had been fun, answering his various questions about the people in the room. He found the prince to be wildly different from the people he'd been surrounded by since he was younger, and much more different than what any of them were expecting from the younger brother of the cold lord. "Since you were gone for so long, you must have missed your family as well, right?" Ren asked curiously.
This made Inuyasha pause. He didn't really miss his family anymore. Kagome and Moroha had passed away so long ago that he'd long since made peace with it. He resigned himself to it when he chose to marry Kagome. They lived a wonderful and full life together, getting to love the same soul twice was already enough. When she passed away, she went with a smile. His mind then went to Sesshomaru. They rarely saw each other, and it was nice to see a familiar face. "Yeah, I guess." Inuyasha mumbled.
He watched Ren accept another glass and they continued to people watch. Inuyasha laughed when he saw Jaken clinging and crying to Sesshomaru before passing out when something suddenly struck him. Ren continued to answer his questions but then he noticed others trying to work up their courage to approach as well. He turned and paused when he noticed how close their faces were, "Wow. You're pretty cute." Ren blushed and tried to respond but Inuyasha cut him off with a smile, "Hey, let's get out of here before they get the courage to speak up."
Ren looked and saw the few people he was talking about and nodded. They left through a door in the back that Sesshomaru usually used while laughing. This was probably the most fun he'd had in a long while, and he was finally free from that god-awful stench. He was pulling Ren along at a reasonable pace until they were in a garden he frequented. Ren sat next to him when he laid down and stared at the stars. "You're really different from most of the 1000-year-old youkai I've met. They all are so stiff and old."
Inuyasha laughed at this, "1000 years isn't old at all for youkai. Do you know human ages?" Ren nodded. "1000 years for a youkai is like 20 for humans. 10000 is like 40 or 50."
Ren looked shocked by this new information. "So…what about 217 then?"
"Is that how old you are?" Ren nodded again. "You'd be like 18 for humans. Or whatever their adult reckoning is." Inuyasha explained. "1000 is a celebratory age. You're pretty much done growing and are who you'll be for the rest of your life."
"Wow, they don't really teach us stuff like this." Ren explained. "So, Lord Sesshomaru is quite young then?"
"Yeah, he'd be like 23 if I had to put a human number on it." Inuyasha explained letting the wine do its work.
"Everyone is very young." Ren sounded so astounded.
Inuyasha sat up, he was looking at Ren intently. Ren was feeling confused, but he couldn't help but stare at him. The moon was bright, and he'd only ever seen the bright golden eyes on the King, so this was the first time he'd seen such bright eyes up close. He blushed again and looked away, pushing his impulsive thoughts away. The hanyou wanted to laugh, this had taken a turn he was all too ready to indulge in. He gently grabbed his face and pulled him in. Ren was surprised but accepted the kiss which became heated very quickly. They were laughing and making out as they made it to his rooms, and stripping quickly, almost fully nude before touching the bed. Inuyasha felt his beast wake up and felt Ren's inner beast quake joyfully. That seemed to be the same, youkai desiring and submitting to power.
His face wasn't the only good thing about him, his body was well kept, and his moaning turned him on immensely. Sucking at his vulnerable throat while his hands explored elsewhere. One hand found his erect cock and began stroking slowly while his mouth found a nipple to lick and suck. Ren's mind was racing a mile a minute, he couldn't believe what he was doing with the prince. The hand stroking him stopped and reached for his entrance, he was already dripping wet. Inuyasha always liked that about youkai. It made things much easier. He was feeling, stretching, and prodding, looking for the spot that would make the young man's toes curl.
When he finally found it, he made a mental note with a grin as he abused it. Ren's breath was coming short and hot as he dealt with all the things he was feeling. He'd never been with someone as skilled as Inuyasha and didn't like being the submissive partner because of the lack of care partners would typically show, but this was something different. He was feeling so embarrassed at all the sounds he was making, but he really couldn't help himself. "Oh that's! Yeah! Mmm! P-prince!"
Inuyasha looked up at him, "Call me Inuyasha when we're alone." Kouga had pitched a fit about him telling people not to address him with a title, so he gave in, but this was different.
"Uh! Y-yes! Yes! Inuyasha!" Ren agreed through his moans.
That was much better, Inuyasha thought as he removed his fingers. "I hope your stamina is good Ren." Inuyasha took the hand that was around his shoulder and kissed it, not forgetting to lick his fingers as he pulled them away. "You ready?"
Ren was scarlet, "Yes!" He said quickly. His cock was leaking, and his inner youkai was so excited. When he looked up from Inuyasha's positioning cock, he saw his eyes and marking's flash. As he began to press inside of him, Ren could fully say he was enjoying the pressure and feeling of fullness. When the hanyou began to move, however, that's when things solidified that he'd been with very trashy partners. Every movement seemed well thought out and touched that place in him. He couldn't help but hold back the worse of his moans, it didn't help that the prince was so attractive. He was kissed and a stupid long tongue snaked its way down his throat to the point where he couldn't breathe as he was fucked. Inuyasha continued touching him and Ren felt a few tears escape him when he climaxed suddenly. He felt a mess as he couldn't stop his moaning as Inuyasha continued to fuck him.
Ren found himself on his stomach, this was easier, he could moan now without those eyes on him. He held on and felt his cock harden again. He'd never been this turned on before. He was moaning like he was in heat. Inuyasha was looking down at the lean back happily. This had taken a turn, but he needed this. "Oh fuck, you feel so good." He moaned, "Fuck yeah." He leaned over, kissing the man's shoulders as they continued. He began stroking his cock, causing him to become louder and he began begging, it was perfect. Ren came again, tightening around him causing him to quickly follow afterwards. Ren was panting on the bed, trying to catch his breath. He felt his cock twitch again and couldn't believe he wanted more. That was before he felt Inuyasha harden inside of him then pull him upright. Inuyasha licked the side of his neck before whispering in his ear, "Glad to see you staying strong. Let have a fun night." He practically purred into his ear.
Ren had done many new things and been in many positions and was worried that he'd never be able to sleep with another man or even look Inuyasha in the face. The best had been riding the hanyou, with all the moaning, and encouragement. He'd never ridden someone before, but every drop was met with a thrust, and he came so quickly too. It was already well into the morning when they stopped. He was tired but it seemed like the hanyou could continue if he really wanted to. He was able to clean up in the private bathing chambers and was given a change of clothes before getting a text from his uncle asking where he'd gone. He sighed, before turning to see Inuyasha drinking a glass of water.
He set it down and approached him slowly with a smile, "Let's do this again sometime Ren."
Ren blushed and nodded, "I have to get going…see you later…Inuyasha." With that he headed off.
Inuyasha felt refreshed, he definitely needed that. A servant came knocking and informed him that Sesshomaru wanted to see him. He thought that was weird because they usually just saw each other whenever they saw each other. He made his way to his office and sat on a chair. "What's up?"
"Don't have sex with those whose families work for me. That is the only thing I ask of you." Sesshomaru looked up at him.
"I know you're not trying to tell me who I can and can't fuck." Inuyasha looked at him like he'd lost his mind.
"I don't care who you choose to sleep with Inuyasha. What I care about is pregnancy, assumptions, and the endless greed they seemed to keep no matter how many of them I wipe out." Sesshomaru explained. He really didn't care what Inuyasha decided to do, so long as it didn't mess with the harmony he'd created. He already disliked the Abe family. The younger one was fine but there was no telling what he might say or do because of the rumors, and should he fall pregnant that would be another, larger issue, and Inuyasha wouldn't like the way he handled it. "Do what you want. Do not cause problems for me because you're bored."
"Who said I was bored?" Inuyasha huffed, "And he's not going to get pregnant. Sun god, remember? I can't even reproduce with mortals without doing something complicated and special, so there, problem solved right?"
Sesshomaru allowed himself to roll his eyes. "Good to know. And your listless actions have. Do you truly not know what to do without enemies to face?"
"Pretty much. Been fighting since I was a little kid, no reason to stop now as a god." Inuyasha shrugged. "Besides, Ren's the only one worth the time, the rest of them are rotten and they smell. I don't see how you put up with it since I'm sure your nose and Kouga's are much better than mine."
"Many traits have been lost to youkai. Many have lost their way and their methods of breeding stronger offspring." Sesshomaru explained.
"Why don't you just tell them?"
"Because they don't ask. Why should I help those cowards? Especially when they'd much rather dethrone me." Sesshomaru asked while he sighed papers.
Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah there's no way a bunch of them don't hate you. Do they know how well you can hear?"
"No."
"So, you just let them come up with their plans and then what? Kill them?" Inuyasha asked, because if they did anything within the city, he was sure Sesshomaru could pinpoint them.
Sesshomaru actually smirked while he was reading through another document, "I let them come up with their little plans, and I allow them to follow through. Then I capture them, and torture them for information I already have. The more they lie the longer the torture."
"Sadistic bastard." Inuyasha mumbled. "Maybe I should find you some help, cause no way you conquered the world with your already fragile sanity intact."
"Oh, please spare me little brother. I would say you've lost more of yours than I. Afterall, you're the one stubborn enough to become a god just to kill other gods." Sesshomaru chastised. "Such a thing is only credible coming from your mouth otouto."
Inuyasha glared, "Don't act like you wouldn't if they tried to kill you!"
Sesshomaru inclined his head, "That is accurate. However, so long as the gods stay out of my way, I'll have no quarrel with them."
Inuyasha relaxed in the chair he was sitting in and looked at the ceiling, "Yeah yeah, I get it I get it, untouchable demon king overlord of everything." He waved his hand, used to Sesshomaru's 'stay out of my path' attitude. They were silent for a moment before Inuyasha asked, "Hey, why aren't you mated still. You're old as shit."
"There are none I find worthy." Sesshomaru answered.
Inuyasha nodded. "What's being mated like?"
"I do not know; I have not been mated Inuyasha."
"Don't answer me like I'm a dumbass I was asking a serious question, asshole." Inuyasha growled. Sesshomaru stifled his laughter. "I think I liked you better when you hated my guts. This..." Inuyasha gestured to the lord as a whole, "...is fucking annoying."
"Yes, yes Inuyasha, should I try to do so again then?" Sesshomaru continued chuckling at his expense. When he sobered, he actually answered, "There are many types of mating bonds, but the mutual ones are those that are temporary and connect the body, permanent ones that connect the mind, and transcendental ones that connect the soul." Inuyasha nodded at the clear explanation. "Why? Are you thinking of taking the Abe child as a mate?"
"No. I'm not tying myself to a mortal. Got godly enemies, don't have time to be running around protecting everyone." Inuyasha waved the idea off. He didn't even know the man well enough.
Sesshomaru could only nod his understanding, "The shrine is almost complete. Would you like to go see it?"
Of course, Inuyasha wanted to go see the shrine that would be dedicated to him. It wasn't long before they were able to set out and see it. Inuyasha was frozen as his feet touched the ground. There wasn't anyone here aside from he and Sesshomaru. He waved his hands and could feel the power building. The shrine consisted of many reds, whites, and golds. It was beautiful, and much better than any shrine those bastards had. One thing that stood out to him was that large tree…and the wound that had healed over. "Wait…I told you not to destroy another shrine!" He near shouted at him.
"The shrine that used to be here was destroyed a long time ago. 500 years ago. The only thing that remained, was the tree." Sesshomaru explained simply.
Inuyasha didn't know how he felt about that, about that shrine being destroyed. He didn't know if he wanted to go see it because he didn't know how it would make him feel. At least the tree had survived. He placed his palm on the trunk and felt it connect with him, recognizing him, and congratulating him on his divinity. He smiled. It was nice to see such an old friend. "Alright that's fine then." He could already feel the divinity gathering. This was going to be perfect, he was very pleased with it and couldn't wait to cash in on faith. "Hey, you're going to pray when it opens right?"
"Why should I pray to you?"
"Don't be a dick, those ducklings are gonna follow right behind you if they think you worship me." Inuyasha huffed, "Besides, I can do some pretty cool shit, if you must know."
"Oh really?" Sesshomaru made his way to the front of the shrine where he washed his hands with the purified water. He then went to the large rope, pulled twice, closed his eyes, and clapped twice while praying. Inuyasha was surprised by this and listened in, "I wish for my younger brother to stop being so foolish."
Inuyasha glared at him, "Why can't you take anything seriously you ass! Make a real wish so I can show you what I can do!"
Sesshomaru was smirking with his eyes closed, "I wish my younger brother would be kinder to me. He is constantly cursing me when I've done nothing but assist him since he arrived."
The request threw Inuyasha for a loop, and his ego agreed with Sesshomaru about him not being very kind to the lord. "Why the fuck do I have to be nice? You're not nice to anyone!"
"I wish my younger brother could understand that he's probably the only person I'm nice to." Sesshomaru continued to pray.
Inuyasha was having a hard time with his ego agreeing with the lord. It was rarely difficult to go against his ego but since these were the first prayers at his shrine and his ego felt like the faithful one who built it deserved a reward. Inuyasha sighed heavily, "Seriously, Sesshomaru. Pray for something seriously."
"I am being serious. There is nothing else I need or want." Sesshomaru clapped and bowed.
Inuyasha's ego was looking at him, "You gotta be fucking kidding me? Are you serious!?" Sesshomaru watched Inuyasha growl at the sun before sighing. "Fucking fine! I get it! He built the shrine, he's the first to pray, I got it!"
The hanyou turned to his watching brother, and Sesshomaru watched as he turned bright red and began to speak. "I-I'm s-s-sorry…for b-being so rude t-to you a-aniue." Inuyasha wasn't even looking at him and was instead looking at a spot on the ground. "I'll ss-top cursing at y-you and b-be kinder s-since you are h-helping m-me so much. I w-won't cause you trouble p-purposely, and I'm s-sorry if I already h-have." He even bowed at the end which really did it for Sesshomaru who burst into laughter so loud and strong that he was holding onto a pillar because his legs became weak. Inuyasha's ears were pinned back to his head in embarrassment, and he really wanted to gut him.
