Call for a Meeting
It was a warm, clear July night when both Inutaisho, the demon of the Western Lands, and Mitsurugi, the leader of the demon slayer tribe, along with some generals wait for the discussion to commence. There had been a long fierce battle between the demons of Naraku and the demon slayers. Blood was shed and opposing sides destroyed one another. In the end, Naraku retreated to recruit more demons. The demon slayers were few in numbers and needed more help. However, Mitsurugi didn't have the time or the patience to train farmers, and he wasn't going to send the female warriors to the battlefield. So Mitsurugi did the one thing that he said he'd never do: he called on a demon for assistance.
Inutaisho golden eyes pierced through the slayers as his patience grew thin. He sat there with his hair up in a high ponytail His red, black, and grey kimono along with his long black cape looked as if it came from the depth of Hell itself. Inutaisho carried both the sword of Earth and the sword of Heaven on his side, and the sword of hell on his back. "Why have you asked for my presence slayer?"
Mitsurugi looked up at the Great Demon Lord and answered calmly, "I have called you here to ask you for assistance with the ongoing battles against Naraku."
"Why should I assist some demon slayers in defeating an abomination like Naraku? I know a capable demon slayer like yourself can handle Naraku. Or maybe I have misjudged the well known and respected Mitsurugi of the demon slayer tribe" stated Inutaisho.
"Oh you didn't misjudge me. I'm still the man you say I am. However, I have lost a great number of men and one can only bear so much by oneself," Mitsurugi answered.
"That is true. However, what will we demons gain if we were to assist you in battle? You have nothing that I need or desire so what will we get out of this?" asked Inutaisho.
"You will have the demon clan to patrol your borders on which we live on and an alliance. No one will get to you unless they go through us," stated Mitsurugi.
"I have demon warriors who can protect my lands. Why should I want humans to do that," Inutaisho inquired.
"I don't know my lord," Mitsurugi said nervously.
"Well then since we have no agreement, I will be taking my leave now," Inutaisho calmly.
"Wait Lord Inutaisho!" Mitsurugi screams out of desperation. "Do you have any sons?" he asked.
"Yes, two of them," Inutaisho responded. "My son Sesshomaru is 12 and is a full-blooded demon. My other son Inuyasha is 10 and he is a half-demon."
"We could settle this matter through marriage if you like?" Mitsurugi suggested. "My daughter is 9 and my niece is 8."
"My sons need strong, capable, and clever women to keep them happy," said Inutaisho as he entertained Mitsurugi's offer. "Do you think your daughter and niece are up to the challenge that lay ahead of them?"
"Of course they can!" Mitsurugi exclaimed as he was surprised that the Great Demon Lord accepted his offer. "My daughter is a slayer by birth and my niece powers of a priestess. Do you wish to see them in action Lord Inutaisho?"
"No, but I'll be interrogating the girls tomorrow when I come back."
