The meeting- Tauro -the eastern lord
(Unfortunaly none of the Inuyasha characters belongs to me, even if I wished sesshy did ;P But Tauro is aaaaalll minnne w)
Tauro looked out over his dining room, that now had changed its purpose for this weeks occasion into a meeting hall. The room were filled with youkai of different breeds and status
Everything from minor rulers to all of the rest of the four Lords of was a wolf demon and also the Lord of the eastern lands. He'd been chosen to lead this years meeting, a hard but honoring assignment.
He let his gaze wander through the room, eyeing his guests and co-rulers as they mingled with the others, laughing and chattering with each knew this was mostly an act, many in this room hated each other but they strained themselves to act nice and charming to get new allies.
Well, almost everyone. One youkai stood out along the others, not just by the way he looked or his young age compared to the other lords. Instead of mingling with the others, the tall, silverhaired dogdemon stood by one of the big windows. He leaned against the wall, looking out of the window with a look in his golden eyes that said that he'd rather been somewhere else right now.
Tauro had alwsys been fascinated by this young youkai, ever since his father had brought him to one of these meetings a few houndred years ago.
Everybody had payed their greetings to the young lord and whispered behind his back how adorable he was and how cute it was that he'd went here with his father in such a young age.
They would never had thought that he was actually listening, taking in everything he heard from the elder. And they could never had foreseenwhat he was capable of.
He sat quietly beside his father during the meetings and only answered when he needed to.
But at the third day of the meetings that always were a day for "training" or better called a power performance. One of the smaller leaders had just had his moment in the spotlight and had wiped down twenty wooden practice dolls in about a minute.
That was when it was the western lands turn to show their power and of course everybody expected Inutaisho to do it.
Sesshomaru was just a pup in their eyes.
But when the young inu entered the training field, everyone
stared shocked at him and then at the current western lord, that was looking amused back at them.
He had probably seen this coming all along.
Sesshomaru had placed himself in the middle of the trainingfield, next to the place the last youkai had "trained". There was the same wooden dolls as in the other field, but there was about fifty of them in this one.
As the young inu prepared to start, the whole audience smiled.
You heard the whispering from all over the place saying:
"Thats so cute, he thinks he can take them all"
"Just wait."
Everybody close to Inutaisho looked surprised at him, then back at his son. It became quiet for a moment.
Then he moved.
And in a matter of seconds, it was over.
Everyone stared big eyed at the pup. The wooden dolls were all scattered around him, his energy whip had sliced them all in pieces.
He had destroyed over fifty dolls in half the time the other adult had done in a minute.
Then he'd just walked like nothing had happened back to his fathers side, leaning against the reeling to watch the rest of the show-offs.
Not that anyone else really were focused on them anymore. And they saw at the young lord with a mix of fear and admiration.
He wasnt going to be someone that you wanted to mess with.
So now that he was an adult, he looked just like a mix of both his parents.
He had his fathers build, but his mothers beauty. Tauro could see the women standing a few meters away, looking at the silver-haired youkai by the window. They chattered about how beautiful and sexy he was, emphasizing these words extra in the hope of an response from the lord.
But he just stood there, like he didnt hear them.
Tauro knew that he did, but that he'd just chosen to ignore them.
The youkai ladies that were trying to get his attention were pure beauties, but obviously they didn't catch his interest.
But after a few minutes off fruitless fishing, the most fair one of them walked to him and tried to start a conversation.
He answered but just with short words, not really trying.
She flirted like crazy, twisting her hair, waving her eyelashes, making sure showing her assets clearly to him.
But he did nothing, just answered politely and stood at a safe distance from her.
She must have noticed she wasn't going anywhere, so she advanced and pushed herself up against him before he could do anything to stop her as she trailed her fingers up his chest.
But her achievements didn't last longer then three seconds as his eyes narrowed and he growled warningly as he pushed her away.
She looked shocked at him, then turned right round and marched back to her friends.
Tauro looked amused at the scene he'd just seen.
He knew as the most of the youkai in this room that the young lord had taken a mate about a year ago and she had already born him an heir.
But either that lady hadn't heard about it, or chosen to ignore it. He guessed on the last one, since she was one of the women that always chattered with everyone so nothing should escape her ears.
She must had hoped that he was like his father and wouldn't had minded to have a lover by the side.
But she had been horribly wrong.
Tauro chuckled amused to himself. He sure was an odd one, the western lord.
