My Brother is my Destiny, Inuyasha x Sesshomaru

Chapter 2

Sesshomaru was momentarily speechless as he watched Inuyasha's tails swish gently behind him. Sesshomaru looked down at his feet to see a single tail of his own making short whips back and forth beside him. Inuyasha was the Alpha, and he was the..."NO! This cannot be right!" he yelled, more power in his voice as he pushed against Inuyasha.

Inuyasha chuckled mischievously, keeping him where he had pinned him. "Submit to your Alpha and I will fulfill all your desires." He licked at Sesshomaru's neck, arousing Sesshomaru as he held back a moan.

"I will not relinquish my power to the likes of you, Hanyou." Sesshomaru was furious. How could this have happened? The brother he had looked down on and wanted dead for so long was now meant to be his Alpha and mate. How many times could his father's lessons give him the short end of the stick?

Despite his venomous anger, his yokai stirred within him, wanting and needing to complete the bonding ritual. Sesshomaru's cock began to stiffen as Inuyasha released another wave of pheromones assaulting his senses. He wanted to fight, to run, but it took all of his strength to keep his legs from buckling and falling to his knees before the yokai in front of him. "I am proud to have such a spirited, strong mate," Inuyasha praised as he moved closer, their bodies only inches apart. His fangs gently traced Sesshomaru's neck. "It will be all the more pleasurable for us both when I make you submit," Inuyasha's voice purred with seduction. Sesshomaru panicked; he couldn't stop what was about to happen.

Suddenly, the doors at the entrance to the great hall opened, and Shippo returned to the room. He began shouting Inyuasha's name in both bewilderment and awe as Shippo saw his new form. Inuyasha's eyes left Sesshomaru for the familiar voice. When he saw Shippo, his eyes began to return to normal, and his claws retracted some. Dazed, Inuyasha called out Shippo's name, unsure of what had just happened. Sesshomaru used this moment to get as much distance between him and Inuyasha as he could, springing to the other side of the hall. Inuyasha slowly became more grounded and looked up at Shippo.

"Your face is different and your ears, too! Look at your tails!" Shippo exclaimed.

"Huh?" Inuyasha questioned. Gradually, the memories of the past few hours came rushing back and he realized what must have happened. He turned to see his reflection for the first time in a tall mirror hanging on the wall behind him. He walked towards it slowly, stunned at what he saw.

He was a full demon, an Inu Diayoukai. Something he had wanted for centuries and there he was in all his glory. He could feel new power surging through him, and while foreign it felt good. Then he saw them. Two mighty tails wagging behind his body. Until that moment, he had forgotten all about Sesshomaru. He spun around to find him, to confirm what his tails clearly told him. Across the room, his brother stood crouched in a defensive position, staring at him with blinding hatred. His single tail whipped violently behind him as poison dripped from the claws on his right hand.

"Sesshomaru I..." Inuyasha began unsurely, realizing what this meant for them both.

At that moment, the council members intervened. "The ritual is a success, as signaled by the tails and as the prophecy foretold," Himari exclaimed. Tension in the room was thick as the magic wielder continued, "As Alpha, Inuyasha is now the Lord of the kingdom with Sesshomaru, his Lord Consort and mate."

Inuyasha could feel the anger radiating from Sesshomaru even from so far away. How did they get here, he wondered. This all happened so fast. Inuyasha never wanted his brother's throne or position, but he resolved that this had to be done for the sake of those he cared for.

He tried to soften the blow by saying, "I don't know anything about running a kingdom. Sesshomaru should remain..."

"Don't presume to condescend to me as if this kingdom is something within your power to offer me. I am the rightful Lord of this land and you will never be anything more than a Hanyou, no matter what magic spell they may cast," Sesshomaru spat out.
