oOoOoOo
Sesshoumaru, the heir of the Western Lands, is the most sought after youkai of high breeding. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, it appears that he cannot produce an heir of his own. His father, Inu no Taisho, seems to know why, and is doing everything that he can to encourage Sesshoumaru to couple with the mate he has chosen for him. Will Sesshoumaru accept his father's choice, or will he turn away from the only one who could possibly give him what he wants?
oOoOoOo
Chapter 2: Not interested
Callous hands danced over sleek soft hips to massage the velvety stripes that were there. Molten golden eyes slowly bled crimson as lust inundated his internal beast. It hungered for the small being that was kneeling between his legs, cautiously biting thighs and working upward to lick at his painful erection. Without a word, his organ was taken into the hot oral cavity of the other, as far back as it could go. He watched as the youngling pumped his length in and out between swollen lips.
No longer restraining himself, he grabbed onto silver hair that was so much like his own, and silently ordered quicker movement. Before time, he was released from the wet prison. He snarled in anger—he was not going to be denied the pleasure of coming—this was his right as an Alpha! But before he could berate the lack of satisfaction, he found himself guided into another heated cavity.
His manhood was wrapped in a smooth, slick passage. The sensation took his breath away. He rocked his hips, testing so see if he was in completely. An audible grunt was heard from below; as he pulled out slowly, only to ram hard back in the incredibly tight opening. He thrust himself rapidly and vigorously until he stilled, releasing his essence and clamping down hard with his teeth on the exposed throat of the submissive writhing under him…
Sesshoumaru startled himself awake again from yet another dream… or was it a vision? He'd been having these accursed dreams or whatever they were for close to a week now, and they were starting to get tiresome. It was almost as if…
He shook his head negatively for even letting his mind suggest such a vulgar thing. He glanced down, first at his engorged appendage, and then at the female laying next to him, completely oblivious to his waking—not once had she stirred while he had tossed and turned in his nightmare! He frowned at that thought.
The future Western heir felt that it was most fortunate that he had not claimed her as a mate, for if he had done so, he would surely have killed her on the spot for not getting up and tending her lord, checking to see why he had awoken in the middle of the night, regardless of whether it was from a dream, or the need to sate his wanton beast. She was completely inadequate! She was not creditable enough to tend and care for any pups he might give her.
Another worthless rut with another worthless bitch, Sesshoumaru thought in mild anger as he finished pleasuring himself with several hasty jerks. He silently groaned to himself because of the sticky mess he made in his hand, and for having to do the bitch's job.
Climbing out of bed, Sesshoumaru noiselessly grabbed the closest garment from off the floor and used it to wipe off his hand and the wetness that had begun dripping down his legs from the tip of his slit. He was going to need a bath for sure now. Dropping the soiled material, Sesshoumaru was just about to enter the bathroom, when his ears twitched as he heard movement just outside his chamber.
Mindless of his state of undress, the young lord went to his door to see who would be bold enough to try and enter his private domain. As soon as he had advanced toward his door and started to open it, he caught the foul scent of his half-brother.
Why would Inuyasha be up at this particular hour, lurking about my rooms, Sesshoumaru wondered? Granted, the half-breed's own room was diagonally from his, but nonetheless, Inuyasha knew better than to come anywhere near him.
Sliding the shoji further open, Sesshoumaru looked out and noted that the hanyou was nowhere to be seen. How odd? Sesshoumaru mused. Although he smelt his brother's stench, he calculated the atrocious odor to be hours old.
How odd, indeed.
Sesshoumaru returned to his room, not giving his brother another thought. The only thing on his mind as he paddled back to his chamber was how, in the morning, he would deal with the bitch still asleep in his bed.
The young lord was so caught up in his disgust of her, and his dream, and of knowing that his brother was spying on him for whatever reasons, that he completely missed the underlining scent of salt in the air.
oOoOoOo
Running as fast as he could, Inuyasha didn't slow his speed. He had to get away from the palace. He couldn't stand it any more.
Every night it was the same. Sesshoumaru took a different bitch to his bed and for the life of him, Inuyasha couldn't figure out why it made him jealous—insanely jealous.
So what if that pompous, egotistical bastard wanted an heir and mate? It wasn't like he could give him one.
He stopped running once he had reached his intended destination.
Inuyasha's tears renewed once more. No, that wasn't true at all. He could give Sesshoumaru an heir—his father had explained it to him, but the bastard barely even noticed that Inuyasha existed.
Who fuckin' cares! I sure don't. Inuyasha scolded himself for ever allowing himself to think that pretentious asshole would ever treat him differently.
Even the bastard's mother sneered at him whenever they were in the same room. Kami…. He hated that bitch. He didn't understand why his father kept her around. It wasn't as if she was going to give his old man any more pups, she even said it often enough herself. How did his mother put up with being second to his father's affections? The only comfort that he got was that his mother and father both loved him.
Over the years, Inuyasha thought that maybe his brother would love him as well, but that dream was shattered once Inuyasha was able to understand the hateful words that were spat at him: mongrel, half-breed, mutt. Yes, it hurt hearing the other children around the palace call him that behind his back, but it hurt even more when his very own brother called him those spiteful names to his face.
And with his fiftieth birthday approaching, his father had already told him what was expected to happen, but Inuyasha wasn't ready. There was no way that he could go through with it.
oOo Flashback oOo
The morning after the new moon, Inuyasha was summoned by his father. The messenger was quite nervous, scared even when he had met the young prince on his trek back to the palace on a well worn path.
He always left the night before the moonless night and returned home the following day. No one questioned why. Everyone, including his brother, figured that it was something dealing with being half-human. Inuyasha didn't correct them.
He entered his father's study and saw his mother sitting at the window being quiet, a pensive look marring her beautiful face, making her look so sad.Inuyasha had never seen such a defeated look upon her.
"Inuyasha," his father greeted, hugging him to his large frame.
"Father," Inuyasha responded back to the embrace. He chanced another glance at his mother, but she remained where she was.
"Son, I'm going to get straight to the point," Toga stated.
"Well, that will be a first."
"Yes, well… anyway, your fiftieth birthday is a month away and plans have been set to celebrate it. Plus, as you know,it also marks a special occasion that means you are expected to be mated on that day as well." Toga paused waiting for his words to sink in.
And when they did, Inuyasha's temper ignited, "Wait a damn minute!"
"Watch your language, pup!" Toga growled. He didn't tolerate being disrespected by anyone, including his own offspring.
"Why do I have to mate, and yet that jerk of a brother of mine doesn't?!" Inuyasha argued. Sometimes his life really sucked.
"Well, that's the problem," Toga muttered. He hated himself for what he was about to tell his son.
"What do you mean?" Now suspicious of his father, Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at the older inu.
"Sesshoumaru has been searching for a mate but has not been able to claim one. Since his maturity he's been pursuing his own objective of being the strongest youkai, so mating has taken a backseat, until recently. The other royal inuyoukais allowed it because he's my son, but when you were born they all agreed that you would have to mate at the rightful age of fifty," Toga explained.
But Inuyasha had not been placated by what his father told him next.
"The reason why Sesshoumaru is focusing on his mate now, is because he wasn't in season before. For years, your brother has been rutting with females in heat, but none of them have conceived, nor has he marked them."
"So, why tell me this? Sesshoumaru is a big dog. He should… be… able…" Inuyasha trailed off. Golden eyes widened as Inuyasha went back to what his father had just told him, "You said… you said, 'he'?"
"That I did. Sesshoumaru's mate, is about to turn fifty," Toga blatantly stated.
Stepping backwards, tears gathered in Inuyasha's frightened gold orbs. "You can't mean… No…" he whispered. "Kaasan?" Inuyasha cried, looking to his mother for help. But Izayoi remained quiet, her head bowed.
"I won't… There is no way in hell that I will mate with that bastard," Inuyasha declared hotly.
SLAP!
Gingerly touching his swelling cheek, Inuyasha glared hatefully at his father.
"You are about to start your breeding cycle in one month, Inuyasha, and you've been having your monthly bleeding since you turned eleven, which is why I've been sending you away during your time of the month. Inuyasha….. Any male in heat would pick up on your beta status, and I will not have your belly full with some male's pup who is not an Alpha, nor one who is not of proper breeding!" Toga had roared.
"Dearest…"
"Quiet, Izayoi! Inuyasha must understand."
"Why should I spread my legs for that….." Inuyasha wisely bit his tongue once he saw the red in his father's eyes.
Calming himself with deep cleansing breaths, Toga replied, "For two reasons, Inuyasha. The first is that Sesshoumaru will be a good match for you. And the other is that you can give him what he needs the most."
"Yeah, what's that?"
"Love."
oOo End flashback oOo
Inuyasha tucked his arms in his sleeves and ventured in to the human village near the forest that was named after him. He counted himself lucky that he could see in the darkness of the waning moon. The new moon was a few days off, so he would be okay until then.
Approaching the medium sized house off the main path of the village, Inuyasha was surprised to see the priestess sitting outside, wide awake and alert.
"What brings thee all the way from the Western Lands, Master Inuyasha?"
He couldn't tell the real reason why he left his lofty palace in the middle of the night. His heart was already a jumbled mess at the mere thought of being rejected by his brother on his birthday. The mating ceremony was to take place the day before the new moon and he and Sesshoumaru were to consummate their mating the night of him being human.
"I… nothing. Can I stay here for a couple of days? I need to get away from playing a pampered prince," Inuyasha huffed out, in his usual rough manner.
Smiling, the priestess nodded. "Go on inside where it is warm. The twins would be delighted to have ye, but I warn ye, deflower either one of my sisters and I will pin ye back to the Sacred Tree over yonder."
"Eh, as if I would, you old hag," Inuyasha bit out. Then before he stepped inside, he solemnly said, "Thank you."
"Ye are most welcome, Inuyasha."
oOoOoOo
Worrisome amber eyes stared out over the land that extended far beyond the sight of humans. Toga had felt a disturbance in his house that had caused him to rise out his bed.
As far as he could tell, nothing was amiss, and stepping outside onto his balcony, he took a breath to take in all the different scents around him.
Izumi was in her chamber sleeping, as she should be. He had left her not more than five hours ago. Izayoi was standing behind him. She pulled him close to her. Her much smaller arms and hands could only reach around his massive form half way. Toga smiled at her gentle touch.
The guards were stationed at their posts; and the ones that were off duty were in the barracks. The servants were milling about preparing for the morning meal and other household chores. Some were still sleeping as they were personal attendances to him and his family—they didn't need to be up until an hour before sunrise.
He chuckled somewhat as he sensed Sesshoumaru's frustration at the current bitch with him. It would be best to put his son out of his misery in the morning and talk to him again about the upcoming ceremony.
"My dearest, what's wrong?" Izayoi asked as she felt the guttural growl from her husband.
"Inuyasha," he whispered heatedly. His son's childish actions were going to get him hurt.
"Wh-"
"Izayoi, go back to bed and I will talk with you later this morning," he ordered.
"Yes, love."
Without another word, she went back to the oversized bed and got comfortable. She looked so small in it, so tempting, but he couldn't let her distract him from his task.
He had to retrieve his wayward pup. Inuyasha had left the security of the palace with only six days until the new moon, and he would be too vulnerable should he be caught on that night.
As Toga morphed into his true form, he could smell the faint sweet tantalizing scent of a bitch in the beginning stages of heat, even from this great distance away that included a monthly bleeding. Inuyasha was emitting his scent to all available males. Not good—not good whatsoever.
He had to get to his son before another male found him. There was no guessing what Sesshoumaru would do if another male tried to lay claim to his chosen mate.
oOo TBC oOo
A/N: Well, how was that? Did this chapter explain some things? I hope so. I wanted to show Inuyasha's point-of-view about his father wanting to mate him with Sesshoumaru.
And what does the future Western Lord have to say about all of this? Don't know? Well, stay tuned for the next chapter to find out.
