Here is the next chapter of Mortal Bound, enjoy and review please!
Three millennia agoScreams of pain came from the birthing chamber of the Western Palace, heavy panting and gentle murmurs entering the tall lords ears as he passed the outer corridor, golden eyes narrowed with concentration. A sharp cry followed closely by the echoing squall of a newborn sent him through the doors, ignoring the mid-wife's gasp of shock and scandalised indignation. "Show me the pup," he ordered not even sparing a passing glance at his mate and sibling who lay panting as she tried to regain her strength. Almost instantly a small, tiny cloth swaddled around its form, as a fine tuft of silver hair surrounded the infants face.
Crimson strips covered the lids of the child's' eyes, and in a bright indigo two strips caressed both of the child's plump cheeks as a rich blue crescent moon took upon home on the pups forehead. Scowling he snarled, "A girl! You birthed me a bitch Hara!" his golden eyes flashing crimson as his mate rolled her eyes. "No Baby Brother, I birthed you a very pretty son!" she told him coldly her golden orbs cold and rimmed with lines of strain.
Looking down at the infant he tore the sheet that covered the pups nude form seeing for his own that it was indeed a very pretty male pup that he cradled and he growled lowly. "Perfect! Just fine my heir looks like a female!" he muttered shoving the now staring infant at the mid-wife leaving the room in a huff.
Two year later
The Lords long awaited return to the palace sent ripples of joy and unease throughout the city that surrounded the lords home. Having been gone for the past two years since his sons birth he had missed much and he wondered if time had made the boy look like a boy or if he was still a delicate, pretty pup. His homecoming had everyone in the palace out in the courtyard as the front gates opened and he stepped through as the sunset behind him, and the crimson glow shone off of his heavy armour.
"My Lord welcome home," a tall lion demon, Gorou, head of the palace guard greeted, his voice rumbling from deep within his barrel chest. His gaze lowered as his silvered haired lord looked up at him.
"Thank you Gorou, it is good to have returned. Tell me, my mate and…pup, where are they?" the lord murmured having already noticed the missing presence of his bride and sister Inu-Hara.
"My Lord, Your son is here with Lady Bunko, the Lady I believe…" Gorou reported though he was a little hesitant to tell the lord that his mate had left to go North, to their house hidden in the mountains. Leaving her only child behind.
"Bring me the boy, I shale be in my study," Inu-No-Taisho ordered sweeping away, not even noticing the small hesitant creature the stood not three feet from him. Long silver hair hung around his cloth-clad form as large golden eyes stared at the ground near his feet. And it was only after the front door slammed closed that he looked up at head guard, ignorant or ignoring the fact that he had tears shimmering in his eyes or of the dissipation of the servants and guards around him.
"Gorou-sensei, This Sesshoumaru does not want to go inside Lords study," he murmured in quiet complaint, even as his governess rolled her shimmering violet eyes.
"Come, my Prince, your father has bid you," she said, her voice rough and her tone harsh and Gorou scowled as his little prince flinched, his golden gaze dropping to the floor in submission. His tawny gaze following the demure behaviour of his prince, he knew that the boy felt unloved and that he had to behaviour lower than he was to gain any attention from his mother, who, when he was good would ignore him. When he was bad, even if it was a small thing, such as playing instead of studying she would explode upon the fragile looking child with a wrath that left the child bruised for weeks.

The lords office was a large room that's walls where covered in floor to ceiling bookcases that were filled with thick tomes. A large western styled desk and chair sat in the centre and stood between the Lord and his son, the governess having been dismissed until further notice. "Chin up boy," he ordered and watched apathetically as the boy flinched and lifted his head, his back straightening as he held himself far more regally.
"What did your mother name you," Inu-No-Taisho asked and scowled at the dimming of those stunning golden orbs, "S-Sesshoumaru, My Lord," the child stammered looking close to tears and vaguely the dog lord wondered why he had yet to cry. Most toddlers would have as soon as they felt threatened and yet here the child stood, small clawed hands clenched into tight fists and his golden eyes tarnished by fear and weary acceptance.
Mayhap the boy is worth something…but he will earn his place, the lord thought, "Do you know who I am Sesshoumaru?"
"Lord of the West Inu-No-Taisho, mate of Lady Inu-Hara and sire of this Sesshoumaru," the boy murmured his use of language far beyond what was expected. You are a smart one, aren't you my pretty son?
Present
The whisper of sheets filled his ears as a gasp left his lips at the touch of a rough, callused hand that griped a place so far left untouched, even by his own hand in such a manor. The feel of it sliding from base to tip, and down again as he writhed at the sensation. The pleasure. Still no words were spoken between them as his eyes, brilliant gold and currently warm, liquid with the pleasure he was receiving met the honeyed gold of his younger brothers, who knelt, nude and stunning beside him on the large bed that had never seen another within its sheets.
Clawed hands reached out, begging silently to be held as the pleasure filled him, begging for sweet kisses that would turn rough, probing and make his body hum with sensations he'd never felt. Grinning, a single fang flashing as he did so, InuYasha still quiet, shifted and slid into his brothers embrace, his lips brushing the thin plump, ones before him before plunging his tongue deep into the heated cavern. They battled as they always did, only in a more sensual form and InuYasha moaned deep as Sesshoumaru gave a small cry of pleasure, his hand that had been touching, sliding over velvety skin slid further down to circle, rimming the edge of darker, more hidden places.
Just as his dry finger breached his brothers entrance he pulled back, murmuring, "Just for one night I will have you. Just for one night before I wed Kag-"
Sesshoumaru POVJolting upright with a pained gasp I cast weary yellow eyes around the small hut, noticing that only Soubi was inside, his silver eyes filled with a pained understanding as I gripped the sheets now pooled at my waist. Panting for breath, my hand coming up to press against my heart, which ached, sending ripples of pain through me. "My Lord," he murmured now at my side, holding up a flask of water, which I took, though to be truthful I was no were near thirsty.
"Where are my brothers?"
"My Lord Satsukamaru is with Neisei and the monk, they have gone to bathe, and Young Lord InuYasha has gone with the slayer to slay a demon who has been terrorising the villagers on the far edge of the village," he reported.
"And m…the children?" I asked having slipped and almost called them mine, when they were not. I had no claim to the fox kit, Kohaku still had family he could return to with ease, and Rin, well she was the only one I truly had any right to claim.
"The priestess has taken them to the herb garden, to teach them," the silver demon said.
"Thank you."
Odd Man Out POV
Running through the thicket as fast at his legs could carry him, the messenger wondered how his lord Sesshoumaru would face the task a head. The lord of the East…he was calling them to war.
