Ch. 1 The Prince who would be Lord

With one quick glance, Sesshōmaru bolted up from the sky and landed harshly on the ground, slicing the demon to bits. He has been hoping to blow off some steam, especially since his father's death had put a negative mood around the castle.

Cleaning his hands from blood, Sesshōmaru had put his nagamaki away in its shield, and hiding his tantō in his sleeves.

Barely looking over his shoulder, Sesshōmaru caught a glimpse of the dead Oni, its horns separated from its head and the kanabō it possessed sticking upright in the muddy soil.

Dark, red blood stained its clothes and face, and puddles of the liquid were scattered across the misty forest. Fog suddenly appearing caused Sesshōmaru to retreat back to the castle grounds, for he knew he shouldn't fight in fog. Oh how he remembered injuring his shoulder badly, and coming home to a disappointed mother and an endless scolding from his father.

With the gates opening on his command, Sesshōmaru walked up the steps and into the entry of his quiet home.

"My lady, do you honestly believe that Prince Sesshōmaru is capable of becoming The Lord of the Western Lands? He is but a youngster, and still shows no respect to his elders!" the Kappa demon questioned the Lady of the Western Lands.

Lady Inukimi had been thinking of this for quite some time. Since the Inu no Taisho had left her for a human princess, Inukimi had no desire to hear or speak of him again. To her, he could burn in hell. Even when he left her not only the Meido Stone, but all the western lands for her keeping, Inukimi couldn't face the fact that her mate found her less suitable for him, and instead took up a worthless ningen.

"Lord Masaru, I do believe that the Inu no Taisho had his intent for Sesshōmaru to take his place if he were to have died. That being said, I would like for you to bring the council here, so that you may see for yourselves that Sesshōmaru is ready to become a Lord." Inukimi stated.

"Very well, my Lady. If Prince Sesshōmaru is indeed up for this task, then the council and I will commission him into becoming a Lord." Masaru added.

"Very good. Now, if you will please leave, I have important matters to take care of." Inukimi spoke as she watched the Lord of the Southern Islands take off. She sipped the last of her tea and got up, walking out of the sitting room and into her child's sleeping corridors.

Sesshōmaru, having recently returned from his battle with the Oni had grew very tired and wished to sleep, but the servants kept pestering him to wash himself clean.

"Come now, Prince Sesshōmaru, won't you wash yourself from all that blood and mud you have stained onto your kimono?" one of the servants asked as she attempted to coax him from his room.

"Leave me or else you will pay with your life." Sesshōmaru growled as he snuggled into his shikifuton. The servant quickly went off, for she knew that she should never get on the Prince's bad side. Unfortunately, some of her friends had found out too soon.

Lady Inukimi, who had finished her discussion with Lord Masaru had stopped in front of Sesshōmaru's room, where she could hear light snores echoing from inside. Carefully sliding the door sideways, Lady Inukimi had closed the door quietly and sat beside her son's futon.

Multitudes of pillows and blankets were scattered across the room, and kimono's were still found on the wooden ground. Books were torn to pieces and hanging scrolls were scratched and tattered.

"Oh my Sesshōmaru, you are still as messy as ever." Inukimi thought to herself as she rubbed her son's back. She could tell that his battle with whatever demon had put strain on his body, for his groans of agony were silently heard.

"Kouta, come here." Inukimi called her faithful servant.

Loud footsteps came running down the halls and halted in front of the bedroom's sliding door. Kouta, with her hair in a bun and a water bucket in her grasp stood looking at her lady.

"You called, my Lady" Kouta bowed before Inukimi.

"Yes, please have the bath house ready for Sesshōmaru and I." Inukimi said as she used her strength to gather her sleeping son in her arms. Kouta nodded her head and went off to prepare the bath as Inukimi followed pursuit.

The bath's water was extremely hot and soothing, sending vibrations off of Inukimi. As the female servants finished undressing her, Inukimi slowly started to cover her pale, naked body with the greenish water.

As she waited for Sesshōmaru to be undressed, Inukimi took deep breaths. She prepared her breast for Sesshōmaru's feasting and turned her head towards the entry. There, the servants had carried a naked Sesshōmaru in their grasp, walking towards the water.

"Let him rest in my lap. It is time for his feeding." Inukimi order as the servants gently laid the prince in his mother's lap. They went off to give the two their privacy.

Running her fingers through his hair, Inukimi had cupped Sesshōmaru's face and rested his mouth on her left nipple. Awaiting for him to bite down and start sucking would take awhile since he was still asleep, but Inukimi was patient and willing to wait.

Not a minute passed that Sesshōmaru's fangs started to sink into his mother's flesh. Inukimi felt the small twinge of pain rush through her body, but soon relaxed as the biting became a soothing suckling. Looking down towards the Prince, Inukimi smiled and wrapped her arms around his back and used her fingers to get the stains off of him.

"That's a good boy, you just keep on feeding my puppy." Inukimi cooed at Sesshōmaru, who started to open his eyes. Looking up towards her, Sesshōmaru rested his head against her chest and continued to eat as the rest of the night was spent nursing with his mother.

"Is my puppy, Prince Sesshōmaru ready to take his father's place?" Inukimi thought as she looked down at Sesshōmaru, who was content with his nursing.

Personally, Lady Inukimi had her doubts.
