Hattaru.

Lady Izayoi woke up form her bed, she dreaded today, for today she will finally meet her soon to be husband Lord Takemaru of Setsunano, why must she marry, Yes it was her duty as the noble lady of the lands and daughter of Lord Zane, but still, she never would of thought in a million years that she would ever marry Takemaru? She hears so many stories about him and how he was some what a cruel man, and that he was also loved woman, for all of the noble women in the court would die for just a glance or even a hit of wife material to Lord Takemaru would be such a great honor.
But it was Lord Takemaru that wanted to marry her; Izayoi did not even know how Lord Takemaru even saw her? Until one of her ladies maids told her, he really was not even considering her as his wife, for she was a little older like twenty very old for any noble lady in waiting, but once he saw her in the gardens picking flowers with her long raven hair falling down her back like a gentle breeze, and her skin pink as a pink flower, he fell in love with her at first sight.
A knock on the door, woke her of her thoughts.
"Come in", she said.
"Lady Izayoi," said one of her maids, "it is time for you to get dressed, the maid said as she drew her a bath and put oil in her tub.
Once Izayoi's bath was over the maid brushed her hair to make her look perfect, for it was a special day, after her hair was perfect Izayoi put on her pink kimono with silver designs on it, she was simply breath taking.
When Izayoi finished dressing, she turned around and stared into the mirror, oh how she wished this was a dream.
"Lady Izayoi your father wishes to see before the arrival of Lord Takemaru in his chambers", the maid said for the final time.
Izayoi walked pasted the maid and into the hallways and went to her fathers chambers, he too was finished dressing and then he heard a knock on the door.
"Enter" was all he said.
"You send for me father?" Izayoi said.
"Yes," said Lord Zane
He stood and walked to his daughter.
"It seems that Lord Takemaru of Setsunano will be delayed arriving today until later tonight".
"I see" she said, "Father why must I marry him, I heard so many stories about him, do you so wish for me to marry a cruel Lord"? She said with sad eyes.
"Nonsense" said The Lord; "Do you honestly think I would marry you off to a cruel man"? He said with a smile.
Lord Zane then hugged his daughter tightly, she did not return his affection, for she knew better, her father never really wanted her, he wanted a son, not a daughter, and he never forgave her mother for giving birth to her, and he would find anything to get ride of her, even marry off the most cruelest lord in the land.
Izayoi went to the gardens and picked some flowers, she was mostly day dreaming, ever since she was little her mother would tell her about a powerful Lord, The Lord of The Western Lands, her mother once told her the story on how she meet him but it was only once.
Lady Ikea Izayoi's mother was walking down the path that would take her to the castle at night when a old man grabbed her from behind her and pushed her down to the ground, he tore her Kimono and was about the rape her when the man went flying towards a tree, just then a figure grabbed the man by the neck and threw him into the air, she looked at the man that saved her life, when she saw him in the moon light, he was the most handsome thing she had ever seen.
The man had spike armor on both shoulders, he wore three swards two on his back and one on the side of his pelvic, and his hair was long and silver and was up in a ponytail, his eyes were a light gold.
The man helped her up from the ground, she told Izayoi that she could not keep her eyes off of him, he then spoke a very deep and romantic voice she had ever heard.
"Woman, why are you out so late, and at night, a lady bearing a child should not be out, with out an escort".
Ikea was taken back at his comment, the man then looked deep in her eyes.
"You would do well to hurry back to your home" and then he disappeared.
After her left she looked strait ahead and saw a young woman with white hair looking at her, but her eyes, her eyes were cold and frightening, they were gold also but her eyes were more narrow then the man that saved her life, she also saw that she bore a crescent moon on her forehead, but the way the young woman was looking at her made her skin crawl, so she ran all the way home.
When Ikea got to the castle she knew that she meet the great demon Lord of the West and he was beautiful, and his aura was extremely strong, even she a human sensed the mighty aura coming form him.
After her mother told her the story on how she meet the great lord, Izayoi wanted to him she knew that her father hated her mother for bearing a daughter instead of a son, so in her mother's defense she knew that her mother might have loved the great lord for he was the only thing that showed her any kindness.
It was almost sun down when Izayoi decided to go down the river before her soon to be husband arrived she wanted to clear her head before the meeting begins, she did not know that this day will change her life forever, that fate will be kind to her.
Izayoi rolled up her Kimono to her knees and dipped her feet into the water and walked straight into the river, she let her hair down and hummed an old Japanese song.
"Come with me"
"My small child"
"You and me will be forever"
I will not let you fall"
"No, No"
"I will not let you fall"
"Come with me"
"My small child"
While she was singing she sensed that some one was watching her, she turned around and found nobody there, for in the bushes a familiar Lord was watching the young human female in fascination.
Inu-no-taishou never seen such a beautiful human female, she was absolutely breath taking, but a beauty like her should not be out, so he steped out of the bushes and into her view.
Izayoi turned around with wide eyes she was shocked but it was not fear the he sensed form her but fascination.
"Young one" he spoke "Why are you out hear all by yourself do you don't know that there are all kind of demon's lurking all over theses lands"?
"I am quite aware of that sir, but why is that any of your concern"? said Izayoi not meaning it to sound rude or anything.
Inu-no-taishou smiled a little at her boldness to speak to him in such a way, for no other demon or human for that matter would even dare to speak to him in such a manner, but this mere human woman had the bravery to do so.
"What is your name Young one?" he said.
"I'm sorry, said Izayoi, but I don't speak to strangers"
"Oh I see, said Inu-no-taishou "do you know who I am child" he said in a heavy voice.
"Child who may I ask are you calling a child", she said upset.
"Well young one, I am a thousand years old, I have seen many things grow and many things die, and I have also seen many battles, so yes in my eyes you are more than a meare child". He said not trying to make it seem that he is trying to offend her, but he knew that it did sound that way, he was about to say something, when she spoke, this time with anger in her voice.
Child? How dare he, she thought.
"Sir, do not insult me so kindly, for I am a lady the daughter of Lord Zane and as such you will treat me with respect, Izayoi said with her eyes hidden form her face.
Inu-no-taishou was again taken back with her boldness.
"There is no need to get upset young one, I am merle making conversation".
Izayoi then turned to the cold water and then looked at the strange man again.
"Are you a Demon, the one that they call the Great dog Demon of the West"?
Inu-no-taishou raised an eyebrow.
"I am," he said, in a low and very sexy voice.
In her heart she was excited but in her mind she was terrified, she then stepped out of the river and onto dry land.
"What do they call you, old one, she said with a smile.
Inu-no-taishou could not help but chuckle at that remark.
"Inu-no-taishou" was all he said with a calm expression.
"I see, Isayoi said, well my lord this has been quite an evening but I must retire for
Tonight, Izayoi said with a bow, and she began to walk passed him.
"You did not tell me your name, young one" he said once again with a smile.
She then looked back at him and deep in his golden eyes and found them most irresistible.
"My lord, why would you like to know my name for you just insulted me once again, goodnight Lord of the West, Izayoi said again with a bow and went on her way.
Inu-no-taishou had a huge smile on his face, yes indeed she was a very interesting human.
"Goodnight lady Izayoi, he said out loud, he then turned and walked back to his fortress, into the moon light, almost forgetting a pair of cold eyes that were watching his every move.
"So father, you have your heart captured bay a weak human," his only son Sesshomaru thought as he too disappeared into the moonlight.
