Laying there, listening to Kagome's breathing and watching the light from the flames flicker against the tent, he sighed deeply. Sleep wasn't going to come and he knew it. No matter how hard he tried his brain wasn't going to let him do anymore than doze for a couple minutes at a time.
Carefully, he untangled himself from Kagome and sat up, wincing a bit as his weight came down on his ass. It was a bit tender from their activities earlier. She was definitely getting much more proficient at using the strap-on. It appeared she had given it to him harder than he thought because he was most definitely sore.
After getting dressed he let himself quietly out of the tent, being careful not to disturb his mate. After stoking the fire and adding more wood to it he jumped into a tree, found a limb that had a good view of the while camp then settled in to keep a lookout, mind starting to wander.
After hunting, Sesshomaru did a quick check of the area around their camp before sliding back into its perimeter. He walked back in on the side of camp where Kagome's tent was pitched, far away from the others. Every time he saw how far away from the others it was he had to smirk. It seemed that the exterminator and the monk forced them to keep their tent far away from the rest because his little brother was a very vocal lover, even when trying to be quiet.
After stepping into the main area of the camp he did his usual check to see if everything was OK. As usual, all was well. Catching his brothers' scent he looked up into the tree he was perched in. Like had happened the last few days he had slipped into a fitful doze while keeping an eye on things. He could sense the exhaustion in his brother and anyone who looked at him could see the dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep.
With his usual quiet and stealth, he leaped into the tree and was able to maneuver himself behind his half-brother without waking the sleeping hanyou. Wrapping his arms around the younger man's waist, he pulled him back against his chest, holding him there.
It wasn't long before Inuyasha's subconscious relayed the other presence and touch, waking him. Disoriented as he swam out of the depths of sleep, he struggled slightly against whatever had a hold of him, feeling the arm around his middle tighten.
"Relax, little brother." A familiar voice rumbled in his ear.
Immediately, Inuyasha relaxed against him but his insides clenched tightly, "What the fuck are you doing?" he growled.
"You're exhausted, Inuyasha. It's obvious to everyone. Unless you get some sleep you're going to be worthless if something happens." Sesshomaru stated bluntly, claws running through his brother's silver locks, trying to get him to relax. He could sense the start of Inuyasha's arousal at his touch and smirked slightly, that response playing right into what he had planned.
Relaxing against his brother's massive chest, feeling the rumble of his voice vibrate his body, he sighed. It was both soothing and exciting at the same time. As much as he wanted to surrender to the feelings and sleep there were legitimate reasons that he couldn't. "I know that. But if I fall asleep like this and someone wakes up to the sight of you holding me they are going to ask questions I don't want to answer." he growled softly.
"Do you take me for a fool, Inuyasha? I know this. Fall asleep. When you're in a deep enough sleep I'll put you back in the tent with your mate. She knows you're exhausted and won't ask questions."
To his foggy, exhausted brain it made perfect sense and would work. In fact, by the time he muttered a, "S'ok," he was already mostly asleep.
Feeling his brothers body relax and his breath deepen into a sleep pattern, Sesshomaru held him close to his chest, Inuyasha's head resting on one of his shoulders, "Sleep, Inuyasha, I'll protect you." He said softly. No, he knew he couldn't consciously hear him but he knew his subconscious would and he could feel the younger man's body relax slightly as he said it.
An hour later Inuyasha was dead to the world, snoring softly. Shifting the sleeping hanyou around until he was cradled in his arms, Sesshomaru deftly leaped out of the tree, landing softly. Carrying him over to the tent he shared with Kagome, he rapped on the canvas. Quickly, the flap was unzipped and held back by the miko as he ducked inside.
Sitting down, he held his brother while the miko's hand deftly removed his clothes, except for his pants, with practiced easy. When he was undressed, she flipped back the top layer of the sleeping bag and Sesshomaru slid him into it before flipping the top laying over him.
Brushing his hair out of his face, Kagome smiled down at her sleeping mate. Looking back at his older brother she said, softly, "Thanks. He was so tired."
"Hn. You're welcome miko." He grunted, still looking at the sleeping hanyou. Then he turned his golden eyes onto her. Reaching out, he took her chin between his thumb and forefinger, pulling her to him before kissing her passionately.
Moaning into his mouth, she leaned into the kiss, pressing her mouth more firmly against his, shivering.
Breaking off the kiss, still holding her chin, he looked into eyes, growling softly, one that sounded almost like a cat purr. "Now isn't the time, miko. We must wait like we planned." he said, softly.
Nodding, she sighed, "I know. It's just hard is all."
"It will be worth it, as you well know." he whispered softly, brushing his cheek against hers.
Shivering she bit her bottom lip and unconsciously flipped her hair over her shoulder, baring her neck and part of her unmarked shoulder, the small piece not covered by her sleep shirt, to him.
Growling at her response, he nipped at her bare flesh softly with his fangs. The he whispered in her ear, "Soon, miko." then slid out of the tent, zipping shut it behind him.
Shivering, she moaned softly, looking at the closed flap. She could feel herself getting wet. Shaking herself mentally, she slid into the sleeping bag next to her mate and zipped it shut.
Cuddling up close to his sleep-warmed body, she put an arm over his chest and held onto him, resting her head on one of his shoulders, shutting her eyes.
