A story of many things I guess. It's not really going anywhere right now, but I wanted it up online so I could come back to it and maybe get into it's mood again.
Sesshomaru finds a truth he had been missing
Some references and characters from Princess Mononoke
I do not own yadda yadda yadda, you know...all that fun stuff.
The Lord of the West was tyrannical yet just. The stoic dog demon ruled over three quarters of the demon territories of modern day Japan by the year 2000. His land was mostly the grass lands and the few huge mountainous scape that separated mainland Japan from their respected coast lines. He was known by both mortals and immortals. Demons and humans both served under him and he was the only lord to keep a balance between species for over 5 centuries and without a mate.
The Lord Sesshomaru was thought to be a block of ice, though none at his court would say this out loud for fear of their mighty lord's wrath upon them, However, silent looks and whispered conversations seemed to not phase the stoic demon and so many opinions went unheeded. Which was justly good, for if he had followed up every conversation he always overheard over half of the royal court wold be...well, dead.
When the lord grew weary of his court's babbling and every day socializing he made his way through the forests with the three closest things that you could ever call his "friends".
One was an ex demon slayer, strange in itself that the demon lord kept one in his services, however the woman known as Sango was never far from the demon lord and over the years, many of his diplomats assumed she was under a slavery bond and had to follow him at all times. She was described as highly dangerous and most occupants in the courts avoided and feared her, despite her being, well a woman.
The second accompaniment was also some talk in the courts that were mainly from demon bloodlines. The lord traveled with a monk of human religion known as Buddhism. He was a cocky pervert and all the ladies of the court knew him and most males wanted his head, however he was sworn as the left hand of the demon lord himself, an honor that most would never see in a full lifetime, mortal or immortal. The monk was known as Miroku and he was well trained in demon education, etiquette and behavior. He was the economic, social and military ambassador for the Western territory.
The left hand of the Lord Sesshomaru was in fact however, shared by two in his three company. Sango was simply a friend and confidant and a warrior for and with the lord, she had too many responsibilities outside the demon courts to be so. No, the other spot within the left shadow of the lord was incredibly, his younger brother. Inuyasha the hanyou, born out of wedlock and mating to their great father in his later years was twice as powerful as the court combined and could rival easily the lord himself, however he had never wanted that spotlight and was content just fighting with and for his elder brother.
Now the lord's right hand was a talk of some great interest for females of the court always. The right hand was only honored to the Lord's mate so Inuyasha and Miroku together had almost more power than the entire council under Sesshomaru just as his mate would have if he had possession of one, or was in interest of obtaining one any time soon.
