~Encounters ~

Anger seeped through golden eyes that were fixed on two young males. Long sharp claws tapped on the mahogany table. Those claws had slayed many demons and yet they could not silent mere pups. His sons were nearly two hundred summers and yet they were incapable of finding mates. Those pups drove Inutaisho to the edge of his sanity. Demons their age would have mated within the first fifty summers but his sons were womanizers.

They loved receiving attention from different and multiple women. Inuyasha played with any types of women. It did not matter if they were humans, half-breeds or demons. As for Sesshomaru, he was only interested with full demon women. He had no intentions to rut with neither disgusting humans nor half-breeds. Their scents were repulsive and they were weak according to his eldest son. The boys would and could not stay with one partner and that could be the end of their family tree.

No female demon would even consider mating with either of them. Sure Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were generals of the Western Army and had women kneeling to their feet but no suitable and honorable woman in the right mind would marry them. No, this had to stop. Inutaisho's council were begging for him to arrange a wedding for both boys. It looked bad for him and his land.

While he was going through the dilemma, his sons were bickering about who wiped off more soldiers from the North Lands.

"I took out about three hundred men! You were doing nothing the whole time Sesshomaru! You were probably out for a stroll again suppose?" Inuyasha bragged to his elder brother with a cocky smile. He leaned in front of the table. Sesshomaru who sat in front of him, ignored his rather untrue statement. He lifted a cup of tea and sipped it while his bratty younger brother bragged out loud about his conquest in the North Lands to the servants who were dumb enough to believe his tale.

"Father, what was the reason for this meeting? This Sesshomaru has other things to attend to." Sesshomaru stated and closed his eyes. He had had a long day and he just wanted to relieve some stress.

"Your concubines can wait. Besides, you both will not need mistresses anymore." Inutaisho smirked when he saw Inuyasha's mouth wide open. Sesshomaru opened his eyes and looked at the end of the table and stared into his father's eyes. He was serious.

"What-What? Father, please care to explain why we need to send off all those gorgeous and luscious women away?" Inuyasha slammed his hands onto the table and stood up while Sesshomaru stayed in his unbreakable composure.

"I have arranged a marriage for both you boys. Sesshomaru, you are turning two hundred and one this summer and Inuyasha, you will be one hundred and seventy-seven summers. The council and I have reached an agreement for you to wed the daughters of the North Lands. It is a peace treaty between both Lands and I have expectations of impeccable behaviour tomorrow evening. These young women are very suitable for you both. I have heard that they have many suitors and their beauty is incomparable even for half-breeds." Inutaisho rose and walked to the door. Inuyasha ran after his father but he turned around and glared at his younger son. "No, it is my final decision." He left Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.

"This is the end of my life! What if they are half-lizard demons? What if-" Inuyasha screamed and got interrupted by his brother.

"This is inacceptable. This Sesshomaru refuses to mate with a half-breed." Sesshomaru hands turned into a fist and his knuckles turned white. His eyes turned crimson and he stormed out in fury.

The sun started to disappear in the West. The birds flew above a red carriage surrounded by large male fox demons. The youngest daughter of the Northern Land put her hand on her heart and felt the quick pace of it while she stared outside. The West was beautiful. There was no snow therefore animals and demons roamed at ease. She closed her eyes and sighed.

She was scared and nervous. She was to wed one of Inutaisho's sons. She had seen them in battle and they were ruthless. She hoped she would get neither of them but she did not want her elder sister to get Sesshomaru. She has heard about his conquest with women. He was as ruthless and cruel in bed as on the battle ground. He only sought for his own pleasure and neglected the females' needs. She was a half-breed and therefore, it was a huge issue. It was said that he hated half-breeds. She would gladly protect her elder sister and make her marry the nicer brother. Sesshomaru was a beautiful dog demon and the heir of the Western Lands.

She had met Sesshomaru and Inuyasha on the battleground. The elder brother had long silky silver hair while Inuyasha's were less smooth looking. It was perhaps his half human blood which caused him to have rougher looking hair. Sesshomaru's eyes were a bright gold color while Inuyasha's were slightly darker. The older brother was obviously taller and more muscular than the younger one. They were both very mesmerizing.

"Kagome, we have arrived." Her older sister turned to her and gave her a nervous smile. Kagome reached for her older sister, Kikyo and squeezed her hand. They had to marry them in order to save the Land. The West was strong and the North had no chance to win even with their cunning tactics.

Inutaisho had a huge smile when the carriage pulled over. His sons stood beside him and waited eagerly to see how incomparable their beauty was. Kikyo was apparently the brilliant one. She was the tactic master. She was the right hand 'man' of her father. She was his advisor and she was also very cunning. She was born delicate as a flower they said. She was thinner and taller than Kagome. The younger sister was not as bright or cunning as her sister but she was the General of the Army along with her brother. She was more toned and a better fighter than her elder sister. She was feared on the battlefield even for a half-breed.

Inutaisho knew that Inuyasha would fall easily for either girls but Sesshomaru was another case. He could not even stay in a room with half-breeds or humans. Even his own brother disgusted him. Either Sesshomaru liked it or not, his words were orders. They had to follow his instructions and no one ever defied him without suffering consequences. His gaze turned towards his older son and saw his jaw clenched and his mouth turned into a thin harsh line when one of the guards opened the carriage door.

Kikyo stepped out of the carriage first. She was indeed tall but definitely not as tall as Inuyasha. She was beautiful. She had medium dark brown hair and a long shaped oval face. She has dark brown eyes with green hues. She had a long but rather petite nose and her lips were plumb with a reddish colour. Her skin was peach color and it was perfect. It looked like silk and there were no scars on her skin. She looked so frail and they could tell that by the size of her waist. Her long legs carried her out of the carriage. She was wearing a dark green kimono and her obi had leaf designs. She was simple and elegant looking, a refine woman indeed. Kikyo had more suitors than Kagome because of her delicateness.

She bowed down in front of the men and Inuyasha noticed her cute little round ass and he smirked. Her chest was not the largest he had seen but it was definitely round and perky. He held his breath when she stood up and he could see her cleavage. She smirked back at him and moved to the left for her sister to come out.

Inutaisho had the biggest and widest smile. He was quite pleased by Kikyo's beauty. She was like a flower. He could see the interest Inuyasha had on her. He would have liked the moment better if Sesshomaru did not look so disinterested. Kikyo was far too frail for Sesshomaru, he would probably break her the first night. Inutaisho hoped the second daughter of the North would at least spark interest in his elder son or else he would feel his son's wrath later on.

Kikyo stood there and stared Inuyasha. He was the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on. His dark golden eyes just made her heart beat fast. His hair was white compared to his older brother's silver hair. His ears were so adorable that she wanted to touch them. His lips looked so delectable. She licked her lips. And his body, oh dear. He was quite muscular. He was not as tall as Sesshomaru but he was half a head taller than she. His red kimono caught her attention when she got out of the carriage. He turned his head towards her and she smiled and looked back at the carriage. Her eyes were set on the younger sibling. Let the games begin.

Kagome came out with a blue royal kimono with a floral obi. Her long eyelashes fluttered and the men were trying to see her eye color. They were beautiful. She had blue eyes with gray hues. Her nose was shorter than Kikyo's but as small. She had fuller lips than her sister. Her lips made her sister's lips look thin and harsh. Her hair was raven colored which made her skin look like white porcelain. Her skin was not as flawless as Kikyo's due to her battles. She was shorter than Kikyo by a few inches but she had a stronger looking body. She was not as thin as her sister but still small. She had very mesmerizing hips. It was probably because of all the battles she had been to. Her legs were very tone and her ass too. It was not as small as Kikyo's derriere but it was definitely round. As she bend down to bow, all three dog demon noted that she had quite a perky, round and rather large chest compared to her thinner looking sister.

Inutaisho looked over to his shoulder to gaze at Sesshomaru's reaction. Strangers would not be able to tell if Sesshomaru was smirking or not. His facial expressions were almost unreadable but his father knew him better than anyone. He saw at the corner of his lips a smirk. His elder son was very pleased by and fond by the younger sister.

Kagome looked over at her sister. Kikyo and Inuyasha were already exchanging glances and smirks while she seemed to have not impressed either one of the brothers. She looked at Sesshomaru and his reaction was indifferent. He was beautiful. He was wearing a white kimono with magenta floral design on his sleeves. His armor was impressive because of its size and sharp spikes. He had long sliver silky long hair hiding his magenta markings on his face. He was a full grown demon and the size of his tail was impressive. It looked so soft and warm, Kagome noted. She was still younger than him therefore her tail was not as long and she had no markings due to her half-human blood. His lips were thin and peachy colored. Hers was more of a cherry blossom color making her look innocent. His chest and shoulders were broad. It was sign of many trainings and battles. Inuyasha almost looks scrawny next to him. She could not take her eyes off him.

Inuyasha took Kikyo's hand and led her into the castle and she had to take Sesshomaru's. She was hesitant because he made no move to approach her. He simply stared at her. She saw red streaks in his eyes. She had wondered what she had done to offend him or what is it just the sight of a half-breed disgusting him. He was the last one she wanted to offend. He was after all, ruthless.
