Chapter : Home!

Things had been hectic since they had won. Lord Sesshoumaru duties seemed to have trebled and the Lord was needed in many places to oversee the numerous tasks associated with rebuilding. The palace was quiet whenever the Lord was away. Inuyasha went about his duties, his time and dedication to study and practice intense at these quiet times. Of course Inuyasha wanted to be out there with his Lord, but at his current level of ability he would be more of hindrance than a help, and Inuyasha resigned himself to a restless wait every time his Lord was away.

His long day of training over, Inuyasha ghosted into the private gardens. Following an inner urging, he went deep into the private palace woods, the green grass crunched under his bare feet. Inuyasha reached his destination, almost at the middle of the lush woods. The trees grew thick here and formed a natural grotto with a small stream running beside it. It was almost a secret place that Inuyasha had stumbled over, no other scent was here except his own. The Hanyou had found this place the last time his Lord was away. This was his second visit to this place.

Inuyasha sighed a little sadly. His gaze rose to the sky. The sun was hidden by the thick foliage, but he could feel it going down. Inuyasha felt a pang of sadness; his poor Inu still could not stand to be around others. With his Lord was not scheduled to be back for another two days, this peaceful grotto was an almost perfect place to wait out the moonless night. Giving in to the urging of his human self, the Hanyou sank into a peaceful rest as his Yokai drained away.

Violet eyes blinked open. Clawless fingers ran through thick silky hair. Searching for and missing the ears that defined his true self. His other aspects safely asleep, Inu sank found a comfortable nook between gnarled roots and sat down to quietly wait out his human night.

He had sort of hoped that with the destruction of the Shikon, he would not rise. The last full moon had been while he slept and he had not risen then. Inu had hoped that would be a permanent state, but no such luck, here he was contaminating the world with his presence once again. At least he was no longer afraid of being the cause of more harm to Inuyasha if he was found out. He supposed he could have visited Jeninji or his grandfather, but it was not in Inu's nature to rely on anyone outside himself. Also while they knew of his transformation, they were unaware of what triggered it. The human was not going to enlighten them, he felt safer that way. He was much more comfortable sitting alone in this grotto.

Inu searched his feeling. He found nothing except a strange sense of peace. Lord Sesshoumaru either believed that Inuyasha had been cured and Inu no longer rose on the moonless night, or that with the destruction of the Shikon, Inuyasha would be safe and the human aspect not a threat to the Hanyou's safety. Inu was glad that his Lord did not feel he required a baby-sitter. While his presence was an unneeded one, at least he was not depriving his Lord of Inuyasha's presence. Thin but full lips twisted into a gentle smile. Heck for once he was actually helping, Inuyasha missed his Lord the most in the silence of the night, at least tonight instead of restless tossing he was ensuing that Inuyasha rested deep and well.

Inu nodded silently, in a strange kind of self approval. Deep within him the other three aspects slept safely, they were at peace and in a strange way so was he. Seeing the original souls of the Shikon had been a healing experience to the human. He knew his history, he accepted that humans were not inherently weak. He would never be as powerful or as strong as his other aspects, but he was not pathetic, he was not wrong.

His left hand flexed a discomforting reminder, not wrong just not quite right either. Deformed and broken as he was at least he no longer believed himself a threat to Inuyasha.

Inu shifted to a more comfortable position; the breeze ran her insubstantial fingers through his silky black hair. Inu sighed in pleasure as his fingers dug into the soil for a moment just experiencing the richness of the earth. Satisfied, he reached out picking up a succulent yellow pear that had fallen off the tree. He blew the dust off it, buffed it against his sleeve and sank blunt teeth into the crisp skin. Sweetness exploded in his mouth.

As moments went this one was perfect.

A smile of contentment settled on Inu's lips as he ate his crunchy pear. For the first time in his existence, in rising; he was not a threat to Inuyasha. He was not a weakness to be exploited. He was not in any kind of pain and on his Alpha's lands he felt safe. Such a feeling was indeed a miracle. Finishing off the pear core and all, Inu stretched out comfortably to wait for the dawn.

"You look so at peace little human, it almost feels wrong to disturb you." A cool voice broke the silence of the night and had Inu jerking to a sitting position. A dull red flooded his cheeks, he scrambled to a kneeling position. He was so pathetic, his senses so dull, he had not sensed the coming of his Alpha. "My Lord Alpha" Inu bowed his head both in reverence and to hide his embarrassment at being caught so unprepared.

"Did you think I had forgotten my words?" Lord Sesshoumaru asked as he glided towards the kneeling human.

"Of course you did not forget!" Inu exclaimed his voice defensive of his Alpha. "My Lord has many duties that he executes to perfection. My Lord has many more important tasks, and Inu is much better now. My Lord Alpha does not need to be concerned that I will do something foolish again, Inu knows he is safe in Alpha's lands, and thus there is little reason to baby sit this human." Inu spluttered out, slightly incoherent in his surprise at his Lord sudden appearance.

Sesshoumaru stopped right in front of the kneeling human, moko-moko curled around the human, lifting him up to face his Lord. "The Sesshoumaru orbed back this night Inu." Clawed fingers reached out to lift Inu's chin, troubled violet eyes met blazing golden ones. "You are right, This Sesshoumaru has many duties, so what made you think, that this Sesshoumaru would allow himself to be deprived of a rare pleasure that is only available for tasting, for indulging once every month?"

Claws that could rend steel, gently caressed trembling lips. Sesshoumaru brought Inu closer his breathe bathing the human's face. "It is past time I claim what is mine is it not? Is it not time that I take what belongs to me?"

"Yes if its Alpha's will. Yes." Inu's voice trembled, he thoughts a jumble of fear, excitement and desire. Inu felt frozen, unable to bridge the gap between his Alpha and him, for the emotional underlay beneath all those active feelings, was still shame. The shame of being repeatedly raped, the shame at being unable to stop it, of allowing Inuyasha to shield him, the shame at carrying the scent, the spore of his abusers on his skin, bound the human to his tragic past more securely than the enchanted chains.

"Yes it is my will, but it is also your will Inu, before we are done you will want this as much as I want you." Sesshoumaru whispered as he claimed Inu's lips in a long, deep kiss. At the touch of his lips warmth spread throughout the human.

Inu felt boneless, he was passive as his Lord began to remove the clothes from his body. He trembled his emotions twisting and convoluted as powerful hands traced down his arms, up his abs. Heavy cloth falling heedless to the forest floor. Sesshoumaru's claws made quick work of the ties holding up Inu's loose pants. Inu's eyes closed, he felt rather than saw the last of his clothes leaving his trembling frame. Being naked, being exposed, Inu was used to this, to the feeling of eyes on his bare skin. But this was not any eyes, this was his Alpha's eyes and that made all the difference. The blood that had felt frozen in his veins began to flow, to pool. His cock twitched and slowly began to raise to half mast.

Sesshoumaru's eyes swept the slender frame over and over again. So thin, no longer starved but still rake thin. It took great effort but Sesshoumaru buried the rage that threatened to rise as demon eyes cataloged the many, many scars that marred the creamy white skin. For the first time in his existence the Inu DaiYoukai was tempted, so very tempted to throw his honor aside, break his word, find that bitch of a Priestess and visit retribution a thousand times over for each mark that marred his human's skin. Sesshoumaru doused his anger. It served no purpose. Inuyasha would be hurt by such an action, and Lord Sesshoumaru was well aware that he could not actively visit pain on his beloved Beta.

His eyes tracing the scars, Sesshoumaru wondered at his Inu's strength. To survive such abuse, with a heart so large was amazing. It pleased the Dog Lord greatly that under his steady gaze the long, slim cock began to rise from its nest of dark forest curls. Saliva pooled in Sesshoumaru's mouth, so delicious. A rare treat that was finally going to be all his. Unable to stave off the temptation he leaned down to taste what was his.

His longue barely grazed the semi stiff member when Inu suddenly surged to life.

Inu pushed Sesshoumaru back, the move taking the Dog Lord by surprise he stepped back a little. "No, no!" Inu almost sobbed out, his voice a tight mix of emotions. "No Lord Alpha I will do it please, you can't, you cannot do that. Let me serve my Alpha." So saying with mix of determination and desperation, Inu dropped to his knees as he quickly slipped his hands into Sesshoumaru's pants. Inu with heartbreakingly jerky but knowledgeable movements released Sesshoumaru's thick cock from its confines. With only the barest of hesitation the human reverently pressed his lips to the head of the exposed member.

For the first time the human would perform without the whips kissing his back, without the collar forcing him to act the whore. Droplets of essence seeped on to Inu's tongue, the taste was indescribable, minutely he relaxed. This was nothing like the past, he could do this, and he could bring his Alpha to pleasure, perhaps finally proving his worth. He opened his mouth wide to receive his Alpha's member.

Gentle hands caught his head and lifted his face, forestalling that action.

"Inu, what are you intending?" Sesshoumaru asked softly.

Violet eyes blinked in confusion, "I will pleasure you Lord Alpha, if you permit me. I have been trained in this, please allow Inu to bring your member to completion." Perhaps the DaiYoukai thought he was unskilled in this. Inu's eyes became large as he tried to see what Lord Sesshoumaru desired. "I was trained to not used my teeth and take you as deeply as you like to go, my Lord. I.. I'm not Inuyasha, b..but I will do my best for you my Lord."

Sesshoumaru's fingers massaged the tense jaw, once again hiding how much the human's words enraged him. He knew the training involved a lot of pain on the human's part and the collar would have forced compliance. "I have no doubt that your best is excellent, that is not what this Sesshoumaru is asking. Why did you halt my actions Inu? Why did you deprive my lips of your taste?"

Inu's pale skin went a pasty white, the tiny surge of confidence he had felt drained, violet eyes clouded in distress. "Its not right my Lord. Let Inu pleasure you please. It is not right for you to touch me like that. I'm too dirty for that. Let Inu do the work to bring his Alpha pleasure please." The heartbreaking words were delivered in a matter-a-fact manner, reflecting Inu's own acceptance of himself.

Sesshoumaru felt his cock tighten painfully, the picture of those perfect lips around him was a temptation that was difficult to reject. But reject he must, he would save that as something to look forward to in their next encounter.

Inu found himself once again hanging in the air, moko moko snuggly wrapped around his waist. Eye level, he stared into the bright eyes of his Alpha. Inu watched as Sesshoumaru reached into his sleeve and drew out a two meter long chain of pearls. Each perfectly rounded pearl was the size of a large juicy grape. The pearls had a pinkish sheen as they gleamed in Sesshoumaru's fist.

"Do you know the special property of pearls?" Sesshoumaru asked his long fingers playing with the pearls.

"No my Lord" Inu replied confusion painted on his face.

"You said you were dirty, this Sesshoumaru knows that statement to be a lie, but it would be a waste of words to try to tell my stubborn Inu that. I could say a thousand times that you are to me as pure and beautiful as newly fallen snow, but it is highly unlikely that you would believe me." Violet eyes went even larger at the truth of those words.

Sesshoumaru took the pearls and gently brought them to Inu's lips, he ran one bead along the bottom lip and another over the top, the lips flushed red and parted in unspoken invitation.

"Pearls cleanse, my human. Pearls draw out all the negativity of the world leaving only the pure and the good behind. You said you are dirty Inu, you believe it, thus as your Alpha it is my duty to cleanse you. I will remove the taint that you feel on your skin and your soul. And once that part is cleansed I will claim every inch of the pure you as my own." So saying Sesshoumaru covered Inu's mouth with his. Accepting the invitation of the parted lips, Sesshoumaru catching part of the pearls with his tongue, rolled the pearls inside of Inu's startled mouth.

Inu's world narrowed to the sensations inside his mouth. The coolness of the pearls followed by the heat of the DaiYoukai's tongue had the human trembling in desire. Sesshoumaru released his mouth with an audible 'pop'. Satisfied with the befuddled human, he lowered him down on to a moko moko created mat to begin the cleansing.

Sesshoumaru looped the pearls around his soon-to-be lover. The double strand rolled from the top of Inu's head down his overheat skim of his neck. The cool pearls seemed to steal the heat off his skin and replaced it with new and unknown sensations, which left the human trembling and panting.

The pearls ran down his throat. Each dip of his collar bone, shoulders and arms were traced by the rolling pearls. The human shuddered, his skin felt strange as the pearls absorbed his heat. The second and third roll of the pearls left him trembling as his Lord had instructed his skin felt renewed. His Lord was taking the old energy that haunted him, he was removing the invisible layer of shame, trauma and horror that had coated Inu's skin. As the old was scraped away, a new kind of heat took its place. Sesshoumaru's breath followed the path of the pearls. He did not touch Inu's skin, yet; instead he blew long, hot breathes on the newly cleansed skin. Sesshoumaru replaced the past not with his touch, but with his very essence.

Golden eyes narrowed in pleasure at the erotic being gasping in his embrace. Inu's skin paled as the pearls slipped across his skin and then went a pleasing shade of dark pink as Sesshoumaru released a hot stream of air on the cooled skin.

A heavy feeling of possessiveness filled the DaiYoukai's heart, the human was his. He had to share Inuyasha with so many people. He did not begrudge that, to allow Inuyasha to grow he had to allow, to even encourage Inuyasha to mix freely with others. But Inu did not want to meet others. Inu had chosen to be alone rather than with his Seraphim grand-father, Inu's growth was not dependent on social interactions. The smile that crossed Sesshoumaru's face could only be described as evil as he blew slowly into Inu's belly button, causing the human to jerk and whimper in his embrace.

Sesshoumaru had no intention of ever allowing another to meet his Inu. Unless Inu asked for it, Sesshoumaru under the guise of 'protecting' Inuyasha's human night, would never again invite another to meet the human. He was extra-ordinarily satisfied with the idea of the being the only one that the human had contact with for the rest of their lives.

The pearl rope skipped Inu's groin area for the moment and slipped around each strong leg. The pearls were wound around Inuyasha's legs riding up and down, cleansing his human of his past. If Inu's eyes had not been closed, fear and apprehension would have reduced his arousal, at the evil self satisfied gleam that entered his Alpha's eyes.

Inu was a little lost in a world of sensation. He could not bite a back a whimper of disappointment as the pearls were removed from his newly heated skin and his alpha moved away. He languidly opened his eyes as he felt Moko-moko move underneath him. His eyes wet wide as he found himself repositioned. Sesshoumaru was sitting on some exposed roots, had placed Inu on a kneeling position before him, a slight pressure on his back had him burying his face in Sesshoumaru's powerful thighs.

On his knees his butt was in the air, a slight breeze teased Inu's exposed orifice. The human felt his cheeks heat in embarrassment as the pearls joined the wind to tease his cheeks and butt.

'My Lord" Inu suddenly jerk up, trying to break position, but the hand on his butt held him easily in place. Clawed fingers caught Inu's chin and his lips claimed in an owning kiss.

"Hush human. I have to cleanse the inside of you as well." Clever fingers gently pushed the first pearl into Inu's hole. The human squirmed in discomfort. Sesshoumaru fingers stroked his jaw, his tongue lapped at Inu's cheeks soothing him. "Relax, Inu!" The words were nothing less than a command. "This is my will" a second and a third pearl disappeared into the trembling human. Inu bucked, his balance destroyed, he clutched at Sesshoumaru's arm. Obliging Sesshoumaru shifted his hand from Inu's chin to his back, supporting the human while holding him in place.

"Stop!" Inu cried out , he was feeling so full, so strange. "Stop, please! Stop."

Deliberately another precious pearl slid into Inu, "You say stop, but feel it Inu, but see how hungry this mouth is. It is eagerly swallowing the pearls, you are holding on to the pearls so tightly. So needy, you want more don't you?"

A waterfall of black hair spilled over Sesshoumaru's controlling arm as a salacious cry escaped Inu's lips, his back arched, but his hips pushed into Sesshoumaru's hand. His body belied his cry to stop as his secret mouth hungrily swallowed more and more pearls.

Sesshoumaru watched with satisfied eyes as the human in his arms became a clingy, needy and utterly irresistible wanton being. He finally stopped feeding Inu and shifted his focus slightly. Taking the access pearls he slipped them through Inu's legs and focused on the weeping and so far ignored member.

"Do not release the pearls, my beauty. The cleansing is not done yet, you are not allowed to release yet."

"Ahhh.." Inu cried out. The pearls were moving inside him. He had never felt like this before, his skin felt alien to him, the blood rushing in his veins, the hard throbbing of his cock, the need, the amazing need that seemed to wrap around his every pore was a feeling Inu had never experienced.

Then the pearls wrapped itself around Inu's hand cock, and even Sesshoumaru's gentle hand could not stop Inu's movement. He arched upward, breaking his kneeling position. The puckered nubbins of his nipples were inadvertently offered to his Alpha's lips. Sesshoumaru accepted the offering as he took a hard nipple between his teeth. The pearls wrapped around Inu's cock tightened and the scale finally tipped.

Inu screamed. Cum exploded from his body as the pearls were released from inside him in a gush. He controlled nothing, the world was pure pleasure and sensation. The only stability in his universe were the powerful arms holding him safe as his body twisted and jerked on Sesshoumaru's lap.

As he came down from his high, as his body slowly returned to normal; tears finally spilled down Inu's cheeks. He had lost all control and yet he had never been safer, never been more cherished.

Gentle fingers wiped his tears. "Will you welcome rising on the next new moon, my Inu? Will you come to me?"

"Yes." The word was soft but for one who had never welcomed rising, it was all that was needed. The pearls were unwrapped and left to fall unnoticed on the forest floor as Inu was folded into Sesshoumaru's embrace.

Long fingers wrapped around Inu's soft cock, and despite the recent explosion, the organ hardened. Inu felt his Alpha's member at his pearl prepared orifice. His breathe left his lips in almost painful pants as Sesshoumaru slid him down, impaling him, filling him with his Alpha.

Pain and pleasure mingled, full, he was so very full. His hips began to move, need swept though his body. "More!" the words slipped out of Inu's lips as his hips bucked. "More, please, more." More of his Alpha, he wanted, he needed more of his Alpha. It was all that seemed to matter in his universe, more of his Alpha was needed by his body, his soul.

"As much as you need Inu. You were born for me, give me everything and take all you need. I will fill you my pet, until all that you remember is me, all that you hunger for is what you receive in my touch. Only in my arms are you free. When I am inside you – only then will you be whole." Sesshoumaru bucked as he said that, closing what little space existed between Inu's body and his. He touched the nerve center of pleasure in the human. Inu's eyes rolled back as he came once again. The tightening and undulating of the muscles around Sesshoumaru's cock finally broke the bonds of Sesshoumaru's control.

The Daiyoukai came, filling his human to the brim with hot, pulsing cum.

The two collapsed into each other's arms. Satiated peace filled the little grove.

"Sleep now Inu." Sesshoumaru said as he cuddled the slim body close to him.

"Will you be here when I awaken Alpha?" Inu asked lazily.

"No, while you are one, Inuyasha's conscious will be the one that awakens. I came this night for the human part of Inuyasha alone, no other. I be returning to my team and will meet Inuyasha as scheduled in two days. This pleasure was yours and yours alone, Inu."

Violet eyes went impossibly wide, then exhaustion gripped the human and his eyes drifted close. He whispered "Alpha, Inu.. Inu is happy, love Alpha."

There was a long peaceful silence. Once Inu was deeply asleep, as silently as he had come Sesshoumaru stood, dressed his Beta, and disappeared into the night.

Inuyasha awoke the next morning feeling amazingly wonderful. The dominant aspect found his human side fast asleep in their sanctuary, with a tiny smile on his lips. Inuyasha had an inkling that something magical had occurred on his human night, he was slightly curious. With a shrug Inuyasha let it go, yes he was curious but his human side had been in so much pain for so long, letting his human have his secrets was a small price to pay. Besides Inuyasha lips twisted in a secret smile of his own, he never, ever slept so deeply he was unaware of his Alpha's presence.

Inuyasha returned his awareness to the world as he stretched his nicely aching limbs. He would look forward to more amazing monthly dreams. His Alpha was not the only one who could keep secrets.

On that note, Inuyasha went to his daily training. Life was good.
