Chapter Three.
Sesshomaru POV.
" This Sesshomaru will not go through with this Father. How could you set me into a marriage that is so.. meaningless." Stuffing my hands into the sleeves of my haori, I turned my back to the person I thought cared so much for me.
"I know how angry you are son, but this marriage creates peace amongst the humans and demons. Once in a while we have to come together in some way to show harmony. This is an honour for the girl you will marry to. As well as our family, I will be proud to have my eldest son represent that." Looking over my shoulder all I could do was turn back around and walk to the door.
"You WILL go through with this Sesshomaru, you don't have a ch-" Letting the Shoji slide shut, I needed to get away. He and his human pet could not possibly think that I would go through with this. Heading back to my chambers, I held my hand out into the pouring rain coming off the edges of the over hang.
Rain was peaceful, it also covered the stench of humans and their foul-ness. Night fall was approaching, not that I needed much sleep, but the little that I required would not possibly be happening.
I was a lord. A Youkai, fully fledged demon I was above a human marriage. If anything it should be a sacrifice.
Just Like I had predicted, nightfall came fast, but with that the moon had been cleared of the moons and the light was stronger than ever, lighting up the palace walls, and everything seemed to gleam from wet rain drops covering flat surface.
Opening the shoji door that had the royal crest embroidered into the front, I could help but run my clawed fingers through the strands of hair that had been up throughout the day. Father always made us upkeep it, like a woman but personally I favored it down. Looking around the courtyard, I noticed a shutter open across the way, and the smell wafting around mustve been coming from there.
Sitting down on the edge of the platform, I leaned back watching the opening. I could smell one. A human. The smell of sweat, and rain. It was disgusting.
Turning my head away I could faintly hear the voices of two females. It must be my ' betrothed' . I, the person thinking this, couldn't ever explain the venom in this word. Life was crumbling for our clans, for the demon worlds. How disgraceful for me to live with such vermin.
Feeling a strong sensation of someone watching, all I had to do was tilt my head towards the open shutter. There sat a girl. Big brown eyes that seemed to be wandering around the court, and seemed to be analyzing me? She didn't seem to realise that I was staring right back at her though as her gaze lingered.
For a human, she was something to look at. Her skin as light as porcelain, delicate too. Her long hair pulled over her one shoulder, and clipped back away from her face. She seemed to be a happy girl, her smile enough to shine through just as the moon. She was beautiful, but was this girl, this human someone I would be truly able to live side by side with.
Smirking as her eyes finally locked in with mine, I watched her drop from the window but not before the sweet smell of honey and lavender invaded my nose. Closing my eyes, I listened as the other female closed the shutters, but it was too late. The smell already listed into my mind. She smelled divine, but non the less I was still superior. Getting up I couldn't help but look back at the closed room unvoluntarily, before heading back into my own sleeping quarters.
The next few days were to be unknown.
