Prologue: Birth of the Royal Disgrace
Sesshomaru was proud to say that he was the crown prince of the Western Empire of Japan. It was a title that he would carry until he earned the title Emperor of the Western Empire of Japan. His linage and family name was pure, had been for hundreds of years, that is until today.
Sesshomaru walked swiftly down the hall, a deep frown creased his beautiful face. Today was the day that his brother would be birthed, and the pure name of his family would be tarnished, forever stained by the birth of this cretin. How dare they, how dare his father, and that bitch. Sesshomaru should have been the only heir, he knew that his father feared the death of his only heir. His father thought that he would make another heir to quell his fears. His father could have at least chosen a pure blooded dog demon to mate with. Instead he had chosen a human bitch, and had forever disgraced their clan in Sesshomaru's eyes.
"The crown prince Lord Sesshomaru" a loud voice boomed, announcing his arrival to the royal birthing chamber.
Sesshomaru approached the door that his father was pacing outside of.
"Sesshomaru" Taishou said in greeting.
"Father, how is she?" Sesshomaru inquired.
"I do not know, men are not allowed in the birthing chamber." Taishou replied.
"Surely you can override that rule, as emperor, Father."
"I can, but I prefer not to, besides it is a old wives tale that if the male witness the birthing of a child the child will die." Taishou said obviously amused.
If that was the case, Sesshomaru wished that his father would enter the chamber.
"Father, are you sure, that you wish for this child to be birthed? Think about what you are doing, no one would blame you if you were to kill the child." Sesshomaru said, hoping that his father would kill the child.
Taishou frowned his golden eyes turning from playful to ferocity.
"Are you question my judgment, Sesshomaru? Believe me when I say that I know what I am doing, It is not only to clam my nerves but it also for the good of the Western Nation." Taishou declared.
There it was, the strong voice that gave orders, commanded armies, and demanded respect. The voice that stuck fear in the heart of all those who stood against him, the voice that Taishou used to get his way and close a conversation. Upon hearing that voice millions of times would immediately back down, but this time was different, he had to get his father to realize his mistake.
"The good of the nation? Spawning this hanyou is for the good of the nation! Throwing away thousands of years of pure ancestry, and for what!? A human whore!" Sesshomaru exclaimed.
"I thought that you would have been more understanding perhaps you would have even forgotten your prejudices against your brother, and your step mother, and maybe excepted it, them, with open arms, I can see that my faith has been misplaced, you are dismissed." Taishou stated calmly.
Sesshomaru opened his mouth to speak then closed it, it would be unwise to say anything more.
"By your leave, Lord emperor." Sesshomaru said and walk out of the hall, hopefully the bitch and the child would die while she was giving birth.
Royal Deceit
Taishou sat outside the birthing chamber, his eyes closed. His son did not understand him, he thought that Sesshomaru was smart enough to figure out what he was trying to do, or rather prevent. Sesshomaru was so closed minded, he was stubborn when he wanted to be.
The only reason Taishou married Izayoi was to prevent a human rebellion, and a half-human "heir" would settle them down. Taishou would never let a hanyou rule his empire. He was in no way discriminating against the race, it was just that the child would be not fit to rule. Having split psyche was not an ideal trait for a ruler.
If Taishou wanted real heir he would have summoned a female dog demon to rut with. His son was a bit of a fool.
As if he would willingly marry a human.
Royal Deceit
Before the birth Sesshomaru had prayed to every god he had heard of that his step mother and his half brother would die, and his line would be cleansed, he prayers went unanswered. At exactly the eleventh hour of the fifth day of the tenth month, another heir was born into the empire, his birth was both cursed and welcomed. His name would be Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru was called to the birthing Chamber. As he entered his father did not greet him nor he did he say anything instead Izayoi welcomed him, and beckoned him forward to greet his new brother. Sesshomaru came closed and peaked at the bundle that his step mother held in her arms. He observed his little brother. His brother looked exactly like his father, with the exception of the purplish marking that would have signified his full dog demon status. His ears was the only thing that would have him recognized as a half demon. His brothers eyes opened, his eyes a familiar golden color, and seemed to peer straight through him.
"What is his name?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Inuyasha" Taishou replied suddenly.
Sesshomaru looked at his brother, Inuyasha, and smiled.
"Well, Inuyasha, my name is Sesshomaru, I am your older brother, and the crown prince of the Western empire," Sesshomaru murmured, and then dipped his pointing finger in the blessing oil, next to the bed, then said louder, "I wish you a bloody and painful death". He used the oiled finger to paint a cross on Inuyasha's forehead, and leaned down and kissed the spot he marked. Then exited the room.
Taishou and Izayoi were in shock but seemed to snap out of it when Sesshomaru slammed the door. Inuyasha giggled cutely in Izayoi's arms. Izayoi looked down at Inuyasha her eyes filled with tears, for her son.
"He hates Inuyasha" Izayoi cried.
"And that will make all the difference" Taishou said cryptically, and exited the room too.
"Inuyasha, my dear son, I will make sure you live and that you do not suffer your brothers wrath, and if Sesshomaru becomes emperor he will surely have us killed, I vow to protect you until my last breath, Inuyasha" Izayoi declared to her son.
Meanwhile on the other side of the castle, Sesshomaru was brooding, today he would always remember this day as the birth of the royal disgrace.
