I've seen enough cyber bullying on the internet worldwide against SesshXOlderRin fans, and it only encourages me more to think of new stories of them! They make a great couple! In this one, while it is a sort of AU, its more of an experiment that just popped into my brain to see where it would go since the last one got interesting reviews...so here's an experimental fairytale...please rate and review, be kind, honest, and if you do want to argue (please don't do it on the public page with no evidence, or facts, or disrespect to the original creator!) be understanding and professional with your criticism.

Once upon a time…there were four kingdoms that went to war with one another for over a hundred years. Mystical creatures, known as demons fought against the humans of the lands to ensure their superiority, yet others saw the errors of such prejudice and banded together to survive. Those years were a turmoil to the lands as they fought long and hard to gain their homes and freedom back.

However, the late King of the West put the war to a halt and called for peace to the lands. Sadly the wise and powerful king was murdered while fighting a duel with an old rival, the lord Takimaru of Setsuna. Takimaru escaped before he was arrested by the courts, and was never seen or heard from again.

The new king of the Western lands was the lord Sesshomaru, the eldest son of the good ruler, and while he was a war hero by his own right…he was also a prideful silent man who held great strength and honor for his family's position. At the tender age of 15 years, he had inherited the throne and brought order to the dysfunctional courts. He ruled with a firm and just hand for his first four years to rebuilding his family's lands and culture, demons and humans living together.

His father had led his life by example when he had taken a human wife after his dog demon wife, Sesshomaru's mother, died in childbirth. His human wife gave Sesshomaru a half-demon sibling, Inuyasha, and both boys were raised together to learn how to fight and protect what was important to them.

Inuyasha's mother, lady Izayoi, had pasted away a year after her husband was killed. After dying of a broken heart, the entire kingdom had mourned many months for the human lady whom was not only beautiful but compassionate and kind to everyone she knew.

Sesshomaru's advisors demanded that he marry to ensure the Inu family line, and produce an heir to ascend to the throne because his younger half-brother Inuyasha refused to take the position, much preferring his job as the general of the entire army of the west. Yet, the counsel was disappointed when both brothers announced that like their father, they wanted to marry for love and honor…and Sesshomaru was already engaged to everyone's surprise.
