Fathers Friend/Enemy(Part Two)
Inu no Tashio looked out through the lands, for hundreds of years he has watched over them. Fought demons who dare challenge him, and for the first time in years. He was reaching his limits. Sesshomaru was getting restless in wanting to own his swords the Tetsusaiga and the Sounga but his son could not wield either one of the swords. He signed as he ran down the forest, he needed to clear his mind. He couldn't help feel that he was missing something in his life, but what more did he need? He already had the lands he wanted, of course he had no mate anymore, but the thought of having another one caused him to shiver. Being with Katsumi was like being in hell itself, but he gained something from her. Their son Sesshomaru was like any parent would have wanted, the only problem was he took too much after his mother. He despised weaker beings, and believed that he was already stronger then his father. Inu no Tashio shook his head.
'That pup has much more to learn if he wishes to suppress me.' he thought. He signed as he stopped in front of a spring of water. He decided why not. He stripped his armor and his shirt. He hid his swords close to the spring in case he was attacked, but he wouldn't need them. He would use his claws for a faster kill. He slipped in, and let the warm spring water take away the tension in his entire body. He signed.
'Kaname and I have ruled over the western lands together, but I sense something is soon approaching us.' he thought
He undid the ponytail he now used to tie his hair up. He let it fall down as it touched the water. He washed his face, and laid his head back against the rocks, when he heard it. The soft sounds of footsteps, but he didn't at all move. He pretended he didn't at all hear the noise, but laid where he was. Once he knew they where close did he stir, and that's when they stopped. They didn't know he was their, and now they stood wondering what they should do. He signed, he had no patient to wait for them to decide if they would appear in front of him or not.
"Come out. I know you're there." he said. A couple of seconds later, and a young women appeared, and he was stunned at how beautiful she was. Long black hair, and with dark violet eyes. She was wearing an elegant kimono which meant she was of noble rank.
"I didn't mean to intrude My Lord." she said as she bowed her head to him. He raised an eyebrow.
"Do you live in the western lands?" he asked her. She nodded.
"My father was Lord here, before he passed away. He said you and my ancestor made a pact for my people to stay in your lands." she said. He nodded understanding now.
"You can stop with the formal talk. I really don't care for that." he said. She looked up at him, a small smile on her lips.
"I see, so why is the Lord of the lands in my spring?" she asked him. He laughed.
"This didn't have you're name, and it is in my land." he reminded her. She had the gracious to blush. He couldn't help but find her more beautiful than he did before.
"Why not keep me company, or will you're people miss you?" he asked tilting his head at the same time. She shook her head, but she was still smiling.
"No, they know that I like to be alone. They do warn me of ugly demons that hide through here." she said as she sat down in front of him on a smooth rock. He smirked at her.
"And do I look like one of those ugly demons?" he asked. She placed her delicate hand underneath her chin as she looked at him. He knew that she was looking at his entire body, but he didn't at all look way. She nodded, seeming to come to a agreement with herself.
"You're different then any demon lord that I've come across. I admit you are handsome, but to tell you the truth. You have a sense of always getting what you want." she said
He laughed then as he shook his head.
"My lady if I am capable of getting what I want, then maybe I would have a lot of things by now." he said, and with that he stood up. She looked at him as he stood, and then looked away embarrassed. He smiled as he dressed himself. As he was trying to tie the armor, but couldn't seem to, he felt her hands help him. He turned, and she smiled as she tied the armor.
"Even if you are a demon, you're still a man, and every man needs a lady by there side." she said softly as she finished. She was about to drop her hands from him, when he caught them both. Her eyes went wide, when she looked at him. His golden eyes staring at her like no man has ever stared at her. His hair was still down, and wet, but she couldn't help see how beautiful he looked.
"And every women needs a man by her side too." he whispered. She laughed softly, and he couldn't help notice how wonderful it sounded, like a soft melody.
"Do you treat everyone you stumble upon like this?" she asked dropping her gaze. With one hand still holding her's. He lifted her chin towards him.
"Would you believe me, if I tell you that you are the first?" he asked her. Her's eyes went wide. Her lips had become dry, and she stopped herself from licking them.
"I hear you have a son, surely you treated his mother like this." she said. He rolled his eyes.
"I had no interest in her, sadly enough my son inherited some traits from her. You are the only women I have ever talked to in this way." he said. She stared at him, and a slow smile pressed against her lips.
"I see. Then very well. I believe you. My dearest." she said, and with that he laid a kiss upon her lips.
"Lady Izayoi!" Satsuki said as she found her friend. Izayoi turned as she saw her friend running towards her. Her long light golden brown hair was pulled back, her cornflower eyes looked at her.
"Satsuki, why do you look so worry?" Izayoi asked. Satsuki waved a finger at her.
"You ask me why? You've been gone all day! The sun has set, where have you been?" she asked her placing her hands on her waist. Izayoi smiled as she pulled her friend into her rooms sliding the door shut close.
"I saw the Lord of the lands today." Izayoi said. Satsuki's eyes went wide.
"You saw the demon! Was he mean to you?" she asked. Izayoi laughed shaking her head at her friend.
"Of course not, he was kind, and gentle towards me. He also has a temper, but I can control it." she said remembering when she asked how he could be a dog demon when he didn't have any dog ears on his head. He immediately lost his temper, and she had to whack him on the head like a dog to shut him up. She laughed at the memory.
"Izayoi, are you falling for him?" Satsuki asked worried for her friend. Izayoi smiled lovingly as she looked out towards the gardens.
"I'm not falling Satsuki, because I already have. From the moment I saw him in the springs. I was already in love with him. My dearest." she said softly. Satsuki shook her head smiling.
"Oh same old Izayoi." she said.
"Kaname!" the Great dog demon said as he found his friend. Kaname turned as he saw the great dog demon approach him, Kaname couldn't help notice his friend seemed different. In the last years that they had been together he seemed distant, but now he looked alive, and like the demon he truly was.
"Inu, you seem happy." Kaname said. Inu no Tashio smiled as he grabbed his friend, and picked him up into the air.
"I am the happiest demon in the world." he said. Kaname roared out laughing as he was put down.
"A demon happy? What's happened. Have you finally fallen in love?" he joked.
"Yes! I have." his friends said and Kaname's mouth dropped.
"You…fall in love? Are you joking?" he asked. The great dog demon smiled as he shook his head.
"She's wonderful, and beautiful. The most beautiful human I have ever laid eyes on." he said. Kaname's eyes looked ready to bulge out.
"You're in love with a human. I can't wait until Sesshomaru hears this." Kaname said. Inu no Tashio waved his hand as if he cared what his son thought about his love life. For years he has had to deal with his son and his attitude of wanting to become strong, but not any more. Now he had Izayoi, what he's been waiting for all this time.
"Do you remember when I said it was impossible for demons like us to love, and you said that one day we'd know what it'll be like to love?" he asked Kaname, who nodded remembering that day exactly.
"I know what it means to love, but truly love." he said. Kaname shook his head.
"I have to meet this great love of yours" he said. Inu no Tashio smiled.
"One of these days good friend." he said.
After months of meeting in secret, Izayoi, and her dearest met every night. The entire western lands knew of the great dog demons affair with a mortal women, but none dared to comment, for fear of his wrath. News had even spread to Sesshomaru, but all he comment on it was how ridiculous his father was.
"She's late!" Inu no Tashio said. Kaname laughed. They where waiting for Izayoi by the springs, but it was clear she wasn't going to show.
"You're going to lose you're temper. Go cut down some tress." Kaname said. The great dog demon signed, and did what his friend said. He ran through the forest and soon Kaname could hear the sounds of trees falling. He laughed when he heard it. He looked up, and was about to reach for his sword when she appeared and Kaname was frozen in place. She was the most beautiful human that he had ever seen. Her long light golden brown hair, and her cornflower eyes.
"I'm sorry. But Izayoi won't make it. She caught a cold." Satsuki said. She had to admit that the Lord of the lands was handsome, but she didn't know what Izayoi saw in him.
"I see. Thank you…?" he asked.
"Oh my name is Satsuki, I'm Lady Izayoi's friend, and her lady in waiting." she said. He nodded as he took a sniff on the air.
"I sense priestess powers in you Satsuki." he said. She had the decency to blush.
"I do." was all she said. He laughed. When Inu no Tashio came and now it was Satsuki staring at him. Now he was the most handsome one compared to the other one.
"It seems Izayoi caught a cold." Kaname said. The great dog demon looked at Satsuki.
"Is she alright?" he demanded. She nodded her head slowly. She was confused. She believed the first man she talked to was Izayoi's lover, but the other one seemed more interested in her health.
"She'll be fine tomorrow. I personally gave her something to make her better." she said. The great dog demon nodded. "Come Kaname. Tell Izayoi to meet me in two days from now. Her health is more important to me." he said, and with that he left. Kaname looked back at Satsuki, he smiled and followed his friend, and so the sad tragedy would soon begin.
