The Last Stand

How it has come to this was beyond him. Was he not the demon Lord of The West? Could he be so easily defeated by something as silly as the silent treatment? Seshoumaru stood in silence as he waited for his fate to meet him. It was behind the door he was staring at.

On some level he had known this day would come, but when you are immortal a day could literally be forever away. The first time he saw the ring on her finger sure he overreacted. But why she would bring a man to his house in the first place was beyond him and why that man would not drive a poison whip proof car was silly. But it was Rin. So what if he destroyed a man's car, and who cares if he had to use tenseiga to bring the man back THAT'S WHAT TENSEIGA WAS FOR! This was his eldest daughter!

He had not been prepared for the silent treatment his wife would give him. Or that his wonderful children would catch onto the game and soon his house would be so quiet. Many times he had wished for silence. For example when his triplets had receive kazoos for their birthday from their uncle. But this was unprecedented. For 30 days he did not break. He was not wrong. No daughter of his would get married. Especially to a man who's car cannot withstand basic demon lord attacks. What kind of family did she think he was running? But her voice. He had gone so long before without hearing it and his head ached to hear it again. Not to mention the children's silly stories. Then it happened, at dinner. The steamed beet and radish stew cooling in his bowl, a sub punishment for his behavior was that there had not been meat in the house since.

His wife calmly looked at him and said it. 'They will be married in the fall." He glared at her. How dare she tell him what will happen. He put his spoon down and stood. But she was already up, and very close to him. In fact he rarely saw her move that fast and quickly sat down. Her eyes bore into him

"Hn…" He replied is distaste suffocating the room.

She sat down and they ate dinner. Eventually more words came. The children broke the silent game the second their mom spoke and the rest of his summer was filled with everything they had been waiting to say.

The wedding planning continued. He did not kill "The Fiancé" again. A trip to the underworld was just not a good idea in the summer time.

Now he was here. The door he was staring at opened. Flower girls and ring bearers all pilled out. Spilling petals and other ungodly things from their pockets and baskets.

"Wait… was there a frog?" He thought as the rest of the wedding party came out.

They all proceeded to congratulate him. The last was Rin, beautiful as always. Her dress was amazing. She took his arm and kissed his cheek and thanked him for controlling his demonic killer instincts.

When he handed her off to the human he felt a little less hatred. As the ceremony went on and he sat by Kagome his loathing began to lessen a lot. Relief at the end replaced it. Now he would not have to look after Rin so much, she had someone to take care of her now.

He felt a hand on his cheek, a finger under his eye as to wipe away a tear that was not there. He glared at his wife.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"That's the last of your torture." Kagome whispered.

He looked around and saw the whole room was staring at him and his wife who looked as if she was wiping a tear of joy from his face. Soon whispers began "Seshoumaru is crying?"

She was no Miko, she was a demon… A much better demon than him.
