Chapter 6: Sesshomaru Returns
~ 10 months later~
Their transition had gone quite well. His whole pack had adjusted to their relationship and the changes it had brought about. From Inuyasha's end, things were made easier by the fact that he hadn't had to deal with his brother for more than five minutes at a stretch here and there. Of course even those short durations would throw him into a confusion and that want he had to have more of it would raise its head. But, after a few months, he was able to keep things under control and deal with it.
That all changed with one visit from his brother. They were camped one night a couple of days outside of Edo, trying to find any kind of clue or rumor about the spider hanyou. It had been late when Inuyasha had picked up his brother's smell moving towards them.
When he stepped out of the trees Inuyasha growled his usual greeting, "What do you want?" This was almost a cordial greeting compared to what they used to say to each other. Even though he was wary of his aniki's motives for showing up, the sight of him caused an involuntary jump in lust as he was bombarded by the memories of the pleasure he had given him.
Fixing his eyes on the hanyou and suppressing a smirk as he smelled the jump in his excitement at the mere sight of him he said, "I need to speak to your miko and the slayer."
Narrowing his eyes, Inuyasha asked, "Why?"
Sango and Kagome looked at each other, puzzled, but stood up and went over to the Western Lord, figuring that if he had purposely come looking for them there had to be a damned good reason for it.
Taking them out of Inuyasha's hearing range, he spoke to them quietly.
Watching intently, Inuyasha saw nothing in the women's body language or mannerisms to indicate anything threatening from the youkai. In fact they seemed to be listening intently, nodding as he spoke.
After the conversation, both women gathered their bathing supplies and Kagome grabbed her pack. She stopped and gave Inuyasha a peck on the cheek, "We'll be back in a while."
Kissing her back he asked, "What the hell? You've already taken a bath tonight."
Leaning close to his ear she whispered, "It's Rin and a female thing."
"Gotcha!" he said. 'Female thing' told him all he needed or wanted to know about the situation. Traveling with two females gave him more insight into 'female things' than he ever wanted to know on the topic. He knew it was a normal and natural part of life but, like so many other men, he was embarrassed when confronted with it.
Both women left the camp with Sesshomaru. Within a few minutes his brother, followed by Jaken, swept back into camp and seated themselves by the fire. Eyeing his brother, and trying to clamp down on his lust, he asked gruffly, "Rin OK?"
Nodding, Sesshomaru leaned back against a tree, making himself comfortable. "She's fine. Your females are better equipped to handle the situation than I is all. I didn't think you would have an objection to it." he said, shooting the hanyou a look that seemed to say he had better not have an objection.
Shaking his head, Inuyasha replied, "Nope, I don't. I just like to know what's going on when it comes to my pack and mate is all."
"Understood." was Sesshomaru's reply.
It was that development that prompted a big change. Initially, Sesshomaru was only going to stay with them for a couple days so that the women could talk to Rin and give her all the information she was going to need. But, after several discussions between Sesshomaru and the others, all felt that the time had come for both factions to join together in the hunt for Naraku.
As Inuyasha's pack gathered more of the shards and defeated the best Naraku had to throw at them the attacks on them had become more savage and violent. While they were able to come out on top each time the savagery of the attacks was taking its toll on them in injuries and recovery time.
Although Sesshomaru had no interest in the shards he did want to see Naraku eliminated. The spider hanyou had yet to attain the level of viciousness with him that he had with his mattai's pack, he was getting there with the spider demon focusing more and more on using Rin to get to the youkai lord. He realized that no matter where he put the child or what kid of protection he gave her Naraku would try to get to her as a way to get to him.
To the demon lord it made sense to join up with Inuyasha's pack because there would be more than just him, Jaken and Ah-Un watching the child, the old adage of safety in numbers applied.
Although he didn't want his brother around all the time, knowing full well what kind of turmoil it was going to cause him emotionally, Inuyasha knew joining forces was in the best interest of all involved. They were going to need Sesshomaru's power and skills as the final confrontation with the deadly spider drew closer. Both factions were very powerful in their own right and were a match for Naraku and whatever he could throw at them but Inuyasha knew the only real chance they had of finally defeating him was to combine their forces. So after the usual attitude and arguments, more because his pack would have expected it of him and it would have looked strange if he didn't, Inuyasha bowed to the will of the majority and agreed.
With that acceptance of his brother as a traveling companion with his pack finally put an end to the final battle between the brothers. Their days of fighting and trying to destroy each other were over for good. Although they still sniped at each other and argued much like they always had in the past no violence, or even the treat of it, ever happened. Their war had finally come to an end.
