The young prince Foukai Mori sat in front of a large round table as he watch the mistress he loved so much dash by and unnoticeably wink at him, he sighed and turned his attention back to his father who was sitting across the table talking to a rather shady character, the man had long black wavy hair and demonic crimson eyes that sort of gave him a dark presence. He blinked and then shook it off as the shady character left the room, leaving only him and his father alone.
"Inuyasha do you understand, from now on Naraku will be our new wizard, he is from the eastern lands of Sengoku-Jidai and possesses wondrous powers as well as knowledge in poisons and wounds" his father said with a steady and strong tone of voice. The ebony haired boy just nodded non-caringly and leaned his head on the palm of his hand with the tip of his elbow touching the table. He played with his long tresses of hair, as he was lost in thought about the lovely mistress Kikyou, princess of the eastern lands of Sengoku-Jidai. He was indeed in love with the woman and he knew that they were to be wed some time in the next month as too there father's wishes to unite Eastern and Western Sengoku-Jidai. To become one large domain. The advantage was Inuyasha would have Kikyou and his father would have more land, money and a larger empire to share with his x-rival.
Eastern and western Sengoku were always at each other's necks, rivalry and competition always existed between the two until the day they should have a truce and there empires would join. Inuyasha only 'keh'ed' at the idea, to be honest he didn't give two shits as long as he was with kikyou. That was all that mattered to him at the moment.
Inuyasha stifled a yawn and slowly got up to leave presuming his father lord Foukai-Mori had finished his speech or so called lecture with him. He slowly pushed his chair out and made his way to the door, but then stopped as he heard his father voice one last thing.
"Oh, and one more thing before you leave. There is a large banquet tomorrow and I expect you to attend, it is to celebrate the joining of Eastern and Western Sengoku-Jidai. You will be on your best behavior and you will not act foolish like the last time, and you wonder why north and south Sengoku never joined with us" Inuyasha mouthed each word his father said, he had been told this too many times before and it was starting to get very nerve-wracking.
"Whatever..." Inuyasha snorted roudly and slowly treaded off towards his chamber to get some shut-eye. The sun was slowly descending on the lush green plains of Eastern Sengoku and he felt as if his body was loosing its strength with each passing second. When he reached his chamber door he slowly heaved his withered and tired body in and collapsed onto his bed. Inuyasha closed his eyes as he turned over onto his back and spread himself out he closed his eyes slowly and was almost ready to doze off when he felt someone's wait settle on his chest. He immediately opened his eyes to see who it was.
"Kikyou! What are you doing here" he then sat up slowly as Kikyou rolled off his chest and into his lap "I came to see you no less dummy" Inuyasha smirked and put both of his hands on Kikyou's chest, and then pushed her down onto the mattress and brought his face close to her. He slowly moved the bangs on her face to the side and brought his lips up to hers, leading into a short kiss. His arms snaked around her thies as and under her backside but stopped and froze when he heard a set of footsteps coming closer to his chamber. Kikyou quickly rose and darted for Inuyasha's window climbing down the vines that hung from the porch.
"I'll see you later bebai" Kikyou blew him a kiss and retreated back to her castle. The one thing about being a prince was that he hated how he was not to come intact with any other of his age group or less. It was unheard of bye the king for strictly unknown reasons.
'If only our kingdoms could just join right now, then I would have her to myself sooner' Inuyasha thought as he retreated back to his now wrinkled bed. He plopped himself down on the mattress and fell fast asleep as the crickets sang there songs and the owls hunted, the cool night air made it all the more relaxing for he would have to awaken to a noisy banquet tomorrow.
"Slip this into his drink tomorrow at the banquet, and after that all we'll need to do is wait, Kikyou will soon see the pig headed prince's true nature, she'll dump him just like that and I will have her" a vicious chuckle was heard and Naraku bowed to a tall brown haired boy, he looked to be Inuyasha's age and his eyes were a piercing light blue. Naraku slowly took the white powder in a cup and slid it underneath his robes "and when will I get my part of the bargain we have made, Prince Kotaru." Naraku gave the other loyalist a cold stare and waited for his reply "after the deed is done, and the bastard is slain" Kotaru grinned and watched as Naraku flicked his hair and walk away slowly.
Lord Foukai-Mori slowly descended the stairs to the thrown room and saw a very malicious looking Prince Kotaru march off in the direction of the chamber he was staying in. Lord Foukai-Mori ignored the boy and preceded on his duties, he had a gut feeling that something was going on and was starting to get suspicious about the outlander.
Inuyasha slowly but quietly slipped out his window and down to the ground, slowly jumping from the low hanging vines, and out into the small town he was always so used to sneaking into. He would always go there to think but mostly to get to Eastern Sengoku, the castle wasn't far but he still always enjoyed walking the streets and concealing himself in the make shift toga or robe he made to hid his identity. He solemnly walked along the side of the stores looking at all the interesting things they sold in them and awed at the real eye-catchers. Such as gold bracelets, fancy new watches and funky inventions that, that Sir Fleming dude was always coming up with. He lazily continued to walk until he stumbled and nearly tripped.
"What the hell do you think you doing?!?!" Inuyasha snapped loudly. A young girl looked up at the man addressing her and put her hand over her mouth "my apologies sir, please forgive me I was just picking up some lose change I dropped" she slowly picked up the last of the coins and turned to scuttle away when Inuyasha grabbed her shoulder ready to demand a 'Proper' apology.
"Get back here wench, I'm not done with you yet" Inuyasha commanded at the poor girl "What do you want I already said I was sorry, geeze, what do you want me to do? Bow down and say I'm sorry then kiss the ground?!" The girl retorted. Bad move. "the hell wench, don't ever speak to me like that, you understand, keh. bitch......" The girl furrowed her hands into fists that quickly made her knuckles turn white because of the mass amount of pressure she was applying to her palms. "what did you just call me?" Inuyasha growled "You heard me! know your place peasant" wow this guy was really pissing her off "and who are you to tell me what to do and what my rank is, you look a hell of a lot worse then me" Inuyasha scowled and removed the hood that hid his face "For your information I am prince Inuyasha Foukai-Mori and if you don't watch your mouth wench then ill have your tongue removed and your ears slit." By now Inuyasha had gotten a good look of her face and was shocked by her appearance, she looked almost exactly like... like Kikyou..... "who the hell are you?" Inuyasha asked curiously ignoring his rage "why I never slap I don't care if you are the prince Foukai-Mori, the nerve" Inuyasha growled "Just tell me your name wench" The girl shot him a venomous look "My name is of no importance" Inuyasha was starting to get mad now "bitch, just tell me your name!" by now the girl had a vein popping from her forehead "my name is Kagome Higurashi... there happy now?" Inuyasha let out a low grumble and turned back in the direction of the castle "Whatever" Kagome was going to go up to him and hit him where it hurt, put she wasn't going to waste her strength on that swine of a prince, she had better more important things to worry about like helping her family tend to the crops and shrine.
Inuyasha climbed up through his window troubled by the girl he had just met in the town " Kagome Higurashi eh? Keh........." Inuyasha looked through his window and watched as the sun was making its decent. The banquet would begin shortly and he needed to get changed into a more befitting outfit. He quickly rummaged through his drawer and found a very fancy looking loose pair of well decorated pants and a skin tight shirt with beaded jewels around the ends of the sleeves and collar ((medieval times yeah know........)) he had just finished sticking his head through the collar when one of his servants knocked on his chamber door "Lord Foukai-Mori wishes to see you" right when all was said the servant took his leave and Inuyasha slipped the top on with a red silk cape to top it all off. He swiftly made his way to the throne room and was greeted by his father.
"Be on your-" "yeah, yeah I know" Inuyasha rolled his eyes and ran his fingers through his ebony hair to smooth it down. Lord Foukai-Mori smirked and followed his son who was headed to the courtyard where everything was set up. He was soon greeted by Kikyou who had been invited to the banquet, she had a sugary smile plastered on her face and was walking beside Inuyasha arms linked together heading over to one of the stone benches. Inuyasha smiled down at Kikyou as she leaned her head against his shoulder. A few minutes later the banquet had started, music playing and jesters entertaining the crowds and loyalists who were invited, all was going wonderfully well and Inuyasha had to resist the erge to pull one of his pranks on one of the servants distributing drinks. As he slowly made his way to one of the servants, the servant slowly poured the pail powder into one of the goblets then handed it to Inuyasha with a smirk, Inuyasha took the drink and sat back down to talk to Kikyou, until a set of trumpets were blown signaling the arrival of the two kings, they were accompanied by several guards with shields and bows, as well as swords and crossbows. He watched as the two took their place in front of the crowd and spoke. Lord Foukai-Mori was the first to talk "we are gathered her this day to celebrate the merge of two rival kingdoms to become one, from this day on Eastern Sengoku-Jidai and Western Sengoku-Jidai are now one royal empire! Let us toast for this joyous event, hear is for the new kingdom of Sengoku-Jidai" Lord Foukai-Mori stepped down and all who were watching cheered joyously, the sound of metal hitting metal was heard as the goblets filled with wine were clashed against each other.
Inuyasha smiled at Kikyou and drank from the goblet he was holding, slowly finishing every last drop of the alcoholic beverage. A few hours of talking with Kikyou and flirting, Inuyasha decided to head inside when he felt a surging pain in the pit of his stomach, doing what any normal person would do he clutched his chest and winced as the pain grew more intense by the moment, his breathing shortened and he doubled over onto the ground curling up into a ball. "Inu..yasha? what's wrong?" Kikyou said while touching his shoulder, a whole crowd formed around the scene and watched as the young prince creamed bloody hell, he was now growling loudly and peopled in the crowd started to back away thinking the prince had gone mad.
Inuyasha's eyes started to glow crimson as he slowly got to his feet, hair shielding his eyes, only the iridescent glow visible until his hair slowly started paling until it was completely silver. His spine was bulging from his back and he grimaced when he felt his ears burning from the side of his head. They were......disintigrating. Now Inuyasha was shrieking at the top of his lungs when the skin on his head stretched outward as a pair of white triangular ears popped out from under his silver mane. Where his small k-nine teeth were he now had monstrous fangs and his once violet eyes were now stained amber, after the pain left he fell to his knees and started a low growl. The eyes of the crowd never left him, they kept staring until he raised his head to Kikyou who looked terrified "K-Kik-you......" She was on the ground with her hands keeping her up, she crawled away as fast a she could, he slowly stood up and started to make his way over to her
"DEMON" one of the guards yelled out and every one scattered for safety, he looked for Kikyou but she was already gone. He felt pain, and sorrow... 'how could this have happened to me, why?' he was soon yanked from his thoughts as something sharp pierced the skin in his back, he grimaced at the pain as two more solid thing collided and imbedded themselves in his back once again.
With nothing else to do he ran out of the castle and into the town, the sun was setting and the guards had their cross-bows ready and aimed, cavalry had arrived and they were chasing him on horses.
"Take aim, on my mark fire!" one of the guards could be heard and as they neared him, he shouted the signal and 5 sharp arrows came at him, 4 of the arrows missed except for one which painfully struck his left arm, rendering it useless.
Having no where to run Inuyasha found an empty looking old torn down brick house and hid in it, he slowly closed his eyes, he was dieing slowly from blood loss and his limbs ached to the seven hells. He just wished it were all a dream that he could wake from but it wasn't and there was nothing he could do about it. His eyes slowly closed and he plopped down on a pile of hay he lay asleep until his time would come to die.
