The Life of Sesshomaru and Rykotsu (a.k.a Rin)

Chapter 2
RIN POV

She's already here? I stood there in shock for a few seconds before turning, to come face to face with my childhood friend, Tamae no Mae Taisho. She was the most beautiful demoness, with long lushes silver locks, which is black in the roots to her shoulders and from her waist to her knee. Her golden brown eyes shinned with joy as I turned to face her. She was wearing the traditional white kimono of the Taisho Royalty, which made her look like an angel. It is quite ironic to how she is demon and not an angel, she is so sweet and friendly to everyone.

"Master Ryokotsu," she said softly with a smile.

"Young Lady Tamae, are you saying that Lord Sesshomaru is to come by in a few days?" I questioned her.

"Yes. Yes, Ryo. The Western and Northern Lands are to celebrate the joy that has come upon the South and the East," she said joyfully.

"So..I'm finally going to meet Lord Sesshomaru then?"

"Well...Mother and Father said you have already met the day you were born."

"That's not what I meant. I'm seriously going to get to see the most powerful demon on Akumahitotoshi?"

"Yep. I know you really want to meet him, but I warn you he is cold hearted demon."

"I know. I know. I know. You have told me this over a million times, Tamae."

"Of course! Of course! Now, Ryo, go get some rest...you have had a long journey," she said, before slowly pushing me away.

Normal POV

The news of Ryokotsu's return went around Japan within two days. Many women, who fancied him, came to see how he was. So like always he was in the middle of every girl's attention. All women wished to be his bride. He was kind. Generous. Strong. Amazing. Unlike his twin brother, Jakotsu, Ryokotsu was strong. Well Ryokotsu was every women's dream man. The one who was interested in him the most was the daughter of the Lord of the West...Tamamo-no-Mae.

What is more, Tamamo-no-mae was not just beautiful, she was also extremely knowledgeable. She looked a mere twenty years old, but there was nothing she did not know. Whatever the question asked of her was, she would grin and reply in easily understood words.
So strange was it, the Emperor decided to go and test Tamamo-no-mae, and he asked her a question on one particularly difficult Buddhist teaching. When he did, Tamamo-no-mae replied by explaining with a word for word quote from a volume written long ago by some great monks. The Emperor and all the other courtesans were stunned when they heard this. So deep was the favor that Tamamo-no-mae earned with the Emperor that he kept her at his side day and night. He cherished her as if she was his empress. The Emperor died soon after as he was a human, being the half-demon she is she lived on. No man has ever touched her heart as much as that Emperor that was until she met Ryokotsu.

She had heard about him since she was a child. She asked her eldest brother about him all the time and she has always adored Master Ryokotsu. When she grew she wanted to meet this famous guy. When she saw him she fell in love with his handsomeness, even though her eldest brother was told to be as handsome as Ryokotsu. Yes, Sesshomaru and Ryokotsu were considered to be the most handsomest and strongest men in Japan, but that is not the case now. The case is she fell in love with his character and she confessed to him. Now she is still waiting for his reply.

"Hi...Um..I have won the...battle?" said the woman/man voice.

It looked like Master Ryokotsu but the voice... thought Tamamo-no-mae. Then she shouted," Your not Ryo your Jako...I mean your not Master Ryokotsu, your Master Jakotsu."

"Hello Ladies! I'm sorry for the long wait." came a sweet deep voice from above and it belonged to...Ryokotsu. Then he turned to Jakotsu and said in a stern, scary voice, "Go inside, I told you not to come out as me. You will get punished when I return,"With that said to him Jakotsu ran inside.

"Welcome back Mater Ryokotsu. We have waited for you for quite a long time so we won't forgive you." said all the women in unison.

He let out a deep chuckle and said, "Why don't I play you a new song I learned while I was on my trip as a sorry. What was it called?...Hm..Oh yes! Kiss the rain!"

D sharp, G sharp, A sharp, A sharp, C, C, G sharp, A sharp, C, A sharp and that one, and that one, and that one...thought Ryokotsu as he played the grand piano or rather her.

Ryokotsu/Rin POV

Nearly everyone has left the palace ground and has headed to their own homes, except from Tama...I mean Tamamo-no-mae. She sees me and walk over to take a seat beside me. She might start flirting. I agree, she is exceptionally beautiful and intelligent but I always saw her a sister and always will.

"Umm...hmm...how was it? Are you injured in anyway?"she asked shyly. She wasn't like this a few days ago. I have always wondered how such a bold person can be so shy around me and Jakotsu, since mating season is starting soon.

"It was very simple really. I did get cut because one attacked from the back but it is healed now."

"I'm glad." she sighed.

"You seen rather shy and nervous today." I stated the obvious.

"No. I'm not." she said slowly try to hide the blush by turning away from me.

I reached out and placed my hand on her left cheek and turned her towards me. "Well your blush tells me otherwise." It only made her blush even harder. I just can say she is flirting. Watch this. "Hey. I got a joke for you. Why can't your nose be 12 inches long?"

"It is too long for your nose?"

"Nope. The answer is: Because then it would be a foot." I laughed. She giggled even after I stopped laughing and then giggles turned into laughter. The reason I stopped laughing was because her father walked into the room where only the two of us were before. He seemed rather surprised. I reached my hand out to grip her right shoulder. At that moment she stopped and looked at me and than at the hand and then followed my gaze to her father. As soon as she saw her father she placed her emotionless mask back on her face.

"You look surprised. Why is it?" she asked her father.

"You..you laughed." he said with a huge grin on his face, "for the first time in your life."

"What else do you do when you're told a joke?" she asked in her usual monotone.

Lord Inu no Taisho her father shook his head in disapproval and than said, "Anyways, Ryokotsu you are to come to the Lords of the land meeting from now on."

"May I ask why Lord Inu no Taisho?"

"You may. Now that you have won the war and you are now the eldest as your brother have passed away, you are next in line to the Southern throne. Of course, your other older brother isn't interested in coming. Moreover, you have finished your 500th birthday so you maybe attend this with your father," he replied.

"When will the next meeting be?" I asked curiously. If it's soon that means I get to meet Lord Sesshomaru quicker.

"Well, tomorrow since you have returned," he replied with a smile. Yay!

A/N: Thanks for the patience everyone! I've had a lot to do these days and I was thinking of putting up this chapter as Valentine's Special...but I felt bad for making you all wait. I love you all. Please review!

Ta-ta! Lots of love,
Rin
