Memoirs of a demon lord
this is a series of oneshots about Touga(Inutaisho)'s rise and fall. I really should not be writing this. Im still brainstorming for Inuyasha Regashi. but these are oneshots, so they dont have to follow a plot, right?
anyways, enough of my foolishness.
"this day, my clan will be united. The dogs of the north will become one with the dogs of the south. This is the beginning of my legacy that will be stamped upon the nation of Japan…today, I get married."
"Where is the young lord now? " said the gray-headed nursemaid. "his bride will not be left waiting!"
"I know not, good nursemaid…but he is being quite irresponsible!" said a familiar flea. "give me a moment and I will sniff him out…' myoga sniffed the air carefully. He pinpointed the scent to a great tree in the middle of the garden.
"YOUNG LORD! PLEASE COME DOWN! YOU WILL BE LATE FOR YOUR WEDDING!" shouted the nursemaid.
"SO WHAT IF I WANT TO BE LATE!" said the young lord, Touga.
"YOUR FATHER WILL NOT HEAR OF THIS! YOU ARE THE HEIR TO THESE LANDS AND ARE EXPECTED TO LEAD THE DOGS TO CONQUER THE WESTERN REALM OF THIS NATION!" advised the nursemaid.
"oh let him be…perhaps the others were right…perhaps his cousin, Eijimaru would have made a better shogun than this fool…let him be. I will tell the master…" said myoga regretfully.
"wait…." Touga said, jumping from the tree with great grace. he was robed in a simple green and white yukata tied with a gold belt and wearing no shoes and hair flowing freely down to the middle of his back. His expression was that of impudence, but no one could dispute the fact that deep inside of him, was a great warrior.
"AND YOU ARE NOT EVEN DRESSED OUT OF YOUR NIGHT CLOTHES!?" scolded the nursemaid. She pushed the teenage boy towards his chambers.
An hour later, he was dressed in the finest apparel that he owned. He was dressed in a pure white kosode and hakama decorated with bamboo embroidery , tied with a ruby red belt. On his head, was a traditional Kazaori_eboshi. He sat regally and stiffly in the middle of the room with other dignitaries, including his family members.
Before him, there was a white screened shoji where the bride was to appear. A shadow appeared behind it. It was small and seemed quite beautiful. When the shoji opened, it revealed a young demoness only a few decades younger than he. Under her eyes were the traditional marks of the dog demon clan of the south. Her skin was white as snow and her eyes were a penetrating gold. Her lips were painted blood red as well as her long talons. There was no disputing that his bride was very attractive.
"he will have no trouble mating with this one!" said one dignitary to the other.
In earlier attempts to find a bride for the young lord and future ruler of the west, many were frightened away by his aggressive nature and his ferocious temper. But this one was able to tolerate his foul temper and was able to even match him in his temper and fight back. They even engaged in hand to hand combat. Then Touga knew that this was the woman for him. The bride stepped forward and sat beside her groom silently and gracefully. The go between laid in front of them and poured into their cups the sake for the wedding ceremony. Once the wedding ceremony was complete, they all stood and saluted: " LONG LIVE TOUGA! MAY HE REIGN FOREVER!"
