Chapter 50

Reviewers -

LoveInTheBattlefield, thank you as always.

ddddaaaae (

The sun crested over the horizon signalling the start to another warm day in the South. Amber eyes opened and settled upon the futon his mate shared, only to find her missing, the silken sheets drawn back and the mattress cold. Sitting up and stretching the Lord surveyed the room, yawning loudly whilst allowing the bones in his back to pop into place. Humming drifted from the next room, along with the sounds of water, soft and melodious, that the Lord left the comfort of his futon to seek out his beautiful mate.

Steam lifted around the spring, the little fountains lulling soft tinkles around the enclosed area. Lips pulled into a unhidden smile as eyes danced over the lithe naked form of his mate. Presently she was sat on the ledge, her back to him, using an urn to lift water from the warm springs and gently tipping it over her head to wash her long tresses. Grabbing a thick cloth, he approached his mate and placed his clawed hand upon her own, silently asking for the urn. With a blush that stole her cheeks, she relinquished it, watching as it sunk back beneath the water, filled and was gently poured across her back. The cloth gently scrubbing away the night. "You grow more beautiful with every sunrise, you glow with the morning's rays"

Again the urn was filled with the warm water, and gently allowed to flow across her exposed back as she smiled, eyes looking at her mate with deep love and tenderness. "I have much to be thankful for, a home, an attentive and loving mate whom is my heart. And our ever growing family that I would give my life for" A delicate clawed hand reached out for her mates, effectively removing the urn, and placed its strength upon her person, over her blossoming stomach. Amber eyes grew wide, that he pushed himself off the ledge, into the water and before his mate, his hand never once leaving her flesh in fear that this was a dream. His eyes never leaving hers, praying to the Kami above that this miracle was actually occurring. "You're..." she smiled and nodded, feeling his hand against her flesh, his firm fingers caressing circles.

"But we were told...how...?" his stammering and unfinished sentences were a testament to his love, filling him with joy as he stared at the blossoming roundness of his mate that she had hidden successfully for what must have been two lunar cycles. "Do you recall the green energy that Kagome expelled from healing Inuyasha?" for a moment, fear filled him, the fear of his eldest son's mate turning her miko power on his mate "Calm yourself Koibito, She did this unknowingly. Her power was so strong that day, that when she healed your youngest her aura exploded healing the lands and those on it. I was rushing after you that morning. The green energy enveloped me, filled me with warmth, it fixed my damaged womb, our delightful morning's have resulted in another addition to our growing family, one we can thank Kagome for"

Tashio softened a smile towards his mate, placing his head against her, his ear over her stomach listening for the gentle patter of a heartbeat as he wound his strong hands around her. In that moment he felt like the luckiest daiyoukai that lived, his mate was going to bless him with another heir.

Taro, Amanae and Inuyasha sat at the breakfast table each drinking a cup of steaming green tea, awaiting the other occupants of the holding to grace the morning and break fast together. "Taro-sama, what are you going to do now that Kagome is mated to Sesshoumaru?" the inu hanyou enquired as he sipped on his hot beverage contemplating his new place in life. "Now that my daughter has returned from the dead you mean?" Inuyasha nodded quietly. "I have already sent a messenger to the high council, stating that my only daughter has returned. I had informed them that she was unable to return to me, her lands and her station due to unforeseen circumstances. I wrote that she had been released from her contract, and that she had returned to her rightful place, and mated Sesshoumaru as she would have done centuries ago. That she is now a lady of the West as mating rights decree"

Inuyasha sat numbly, staring into the steam of his cup "What are they going to do to me? For my involvement?" Taro placed a hand upon his shoulder, saying without words that he did not know what the High council would do, but that he would stand beside him regardless. "The High council, will arrive here in five rises of the sun, we will find out together" Inuyasha sighed, his eyes slipping closed as he thought the worst possible outcomes that the council would have in store for him, a traitor and a bastard son. "Do not concern yourself over these matters Inuyasha, for now let us enjoy the peace".

Amanae turned her sights to the doors, as Sesshoumaru and Kagome entered together, a deep blush staining her daughters cheeks, as she was being led by the hand towards the deep pillows behind the table. As Amanae looked into her daughters face, she could see the beginnings of the crescent of the West faintly adorning her brow. Immediately she understood why her daughter was turning a wondrous shade of rouge. Something in the male's genes forced a change in their taken mate, allowing the mark of the dominant mate to appear upon the submissive once in the throes of sexual bonding. She smiled deeply, knowing that in a matter of lunar cycles the soft patter of feet would echo down the halls once again. Speaking of feet...

Tashio and Kiyoye were next to join the table of Inu, Kiyoye simply beaming with joy as she sat down gracefully upon a thick pillow that Tashio plumped up for her. He turned his bright Amber eyes towards those gathered and smiled deep and true "My mate and I are expecting" Kiyoye blushed and cut her glance towards Amanae and Kagome unable to stop the grin that seeped from her. Taro, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha sat stock still, shocked but the nonetheless pleased "mother...truly?" Sesshoumaru questioned seeking affirmation from his mother "I am thrilled, but, how?" he asked as she nodded. Tashio clapped his eldest son upon his back, dropping between the two younger daiyoukai, glancing at Kagome's newly forming mark.

"Surely Son, I need not tell you about a Samurai's Katana and sheath. I can see the forming mark on your mates brow clear enough that you already know of the how?" Taro coughed as he had taken a sip of his tea, Inuyasha choked on a piece of meat as he looked into his elder brother's shocked gaze at being told without words, their father knew he went all beast on his mate in the bedroom" Kagome smirked then laughed as she too looked at the shocked look on her mates face, as he was desperately trying to compose a dignified answer. Tashio wrapped his arms around his newest daughter "We have you to thank for this Kagome, your purging my youngest son of the darkness within his soul, set a chain of events that allowed my beautiful Kiyoye to conceive once more" Kagome smiled and looked wistfully at her own Mother, wishing that she could have also given her life once more.

Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara were surveying the gardens as they came across the stables. Baritone whinnies echoed from deep within, that their curiosity was peaked. They each entered, fawning over the impressive Southern stallions that were inside. Rich Copper mares that looked like liquid fire, deep forest green stallions that shimmered in the sun's rays. Beasts that were full of strength and stamina, of stature and impeccable breeding. Shippo's eyes lit as he recalled many months ago that Kagome would allow him to ride one of these elite beasts. "I see you found the stables" her voice drifted into the stables, causing the guests to jump in surprise "Kagome" Shippo called out, jumping up and down like an excitable young kit "Can we ride one like you promised?" he asked, full of mirth as he eyes up one of the deep copper mares.

Kagome chuckled "Of course you can, Sango, Miroku, care to join us?" Sango stared at the massive beast "I'm not too sure, I think I'll stick with Kirara" Kagome shook her head "you've never ridden a demon mount like a southern one. Father is very particular about his horses. They are the biggest trading commodity we had, allow me to show you why" Kagome stepped into one of the corrals, bridling a young fire mare. She led the mare from the stall and into the morning's sun. The rays shone over the beast, lighting up its body like liquid rust, the mane and tail bursting into flame, fire danced on it hooves "This one is Entei, she's a demure little thing, she can outrun any mortal steed five times its speed. Her fire would never burn its rider, but keep them warm on the Eastern ranges deep into the winter, when the Northern winds chill the lands and wash them with crisp snow. Entei and her kin, were bred for the North, for the volcano clan of kitsune that made their homes amidst fire and heat" Kagome handed the reigns to Shippo, he held them tight and stared up into the lava coloured eyes of his demon steed.

Next Kagome stepped out with a stallion, deep forest green that shone almost black as night in the sun "This is Kodama, he is a stallion like no other. His spirit is pure and free, he blends in with the deep forest in total harmony. He can shift his form, and the form of his rider into spirit as he glides across the moss, allowing his rider to become one with nature around them, a part of the forest. Kodama and his kin were bred for the North. Ookami clans of the North that live deep within the forests, surrounded by demon trees such as Bokuseno. These stallions were a perfect blend of spirit and nature" Kagome handed the reigns to Miroku, the great stallion grunted, turning his blackened gaze to Miroku, who in turn raised a hand and ran it down the horses face gently.

The soft sounds of hooves on the ground like a gentle breeze, caused Sango to raise her eyes and stare directly into the sparkling silver eyes of a shimmering mare of opal. "Sango, this is Raijin. This thunderous mare is sired from the wind-kami herself. She dances on air, can create thunder and lightening from her hooves, her whinny is like the wind. She can brush passed with a tender caress, or knock you down with the strength of a raging tornado. Raijin and her kin were bred for the Eastern lands, covered with rocky terrain that the mountain goat youkai have made their sanctuary. Steeds like Raijin are able to dance amongst the air currents, stepping on torrents as though they were made of stone" Kagome handed the reigns to Sango who was in awe of such a magnificent beast "Is she safe?" she asked tentatively, somewhat overwhelmed by the aura this horse held. "Of course".

"Allow me to get my own horse and we shall enjoy a day's ride out in the forests" Kagome re-entered the stables for a fourth time, the sounds of heavy hooves thumping against the ground, deep grunting from another purebred stallion. The Daitachi were not disappointed, Kagome re-emerged with a Black as night Stallion, his mane and tail shimmering like liquid silver "This is In'ei, my shadow stallion. Bred for the South to ride in the shadows, he can cloak the deepest of shadows around himself and his rider, that you get the feeling of being watched, but unable to source where from. In'ei and his kin have been invaluable to the South, assisting my father in affairs of state during his early years as lord, and my own as a young pup needing freedom beyond the walls of home, to be able to escape". Kagome mounted her demon horse with the grace of a true lady borne to the life within a shiro, followed by Sango, Shippo and Miroku. Kirara transformed into her nekomata form and growled at the riders. "Ready?" Kagome smiled, before spurring her stallion into a brisk gallop across the courtyard.

Four sets of hooves thundered across the ground. Youkai within the shiro walls could see the great beasts as they raced each other in succession, blurs of opal, black, green and copper, peels of laughter from all riders as the stallions brought joy at being released from their stalls on such a fine sunny morning, that those watching could only smile in return.

Taro watched from above, Amanae at his side as Kagome, Lord Shippo and her dai-tachi were racing each other on his best stallions. Merriment and happiness exuding from all below, that none would have thought his daughter was condemned to death, and slave to a Miko for decades beneath his nose. "I am pleased that she still finds much love in her life, she has been dealt nothing but cruelty and hardship. It is time that she was given a moment of peace and happiness" Amanae rested her hand on her mates arm as they looked below, watching the youngsters chase one another in the courtyard.

By mid afternoon, all riders returned to the main antechamber to join the elder Inu's in a noon meal. Sango and Miroku joined the table at Kagome's request. Shippo dropped himself into a pillow that enveloped him whole, soliciting cries of help from deep with, earning him chuckled amusement from the Inu's, Neko and human around him. As they were about to tuck into the noon meal a messenger entered, bowing deep at the waist to the ruling lords and lady's "Lord Totosai has arrived" The large doors opened, the elder elemental dragon entered, eyeing each of the Inu's individually, his gaze resting on Inuyasha. He sighed long and deep "I see I have my work cut out for me, Inuyasha I can feel that your aura has changed since we last met. I feel your soul is full and strong. Your father's blood runs proudly in your veins. I will have to fashion your fang accordingly"

The elder elemental approached the table, his dragon's tattoo on his face standing out in stark contrast to his skin. "Might this old elemental break noon fast with you" he asked eyeing up a spare pillow and the food upon the table. "It would be our honour Totosai-sama" the old dragon smiled, a fang poking out the corner of his mouth "I will need my energy if I am to fix the Tessuaiga, it will take three days to complete, and Inuyasha, I will require a fang from you" Inuyasha balked "Do not worry, it will grow back within a mere half a day" he added watching as the youngster ran his tongue over each of his fangs.

By late afternoon of the second day since Totosai's arrival, Taro was interrupted from his lordly duties once more by the messenger. He immediately stood and departed his study heading for the courtyard, his light footfalls brushing against the marble floor. He descended the steps into the courtyard and bowed deeply to the Elder. "Elder-sama, I humbly welcome you to my home" Taro rose and offered the Elder to follow him into the holding, to the main antechamber where they could speak over damson tea.

"Your daughter's return seems fraught with tragedy Taro, you say that the young Western Lord has already taken her for a mate?" Deep aged grey eyes looked over the Southern Lord, assessing his every move, his every breath. "Indeed, I speak the truth. Whilst I know of my brothers involvement in my daughters tragic removal from her home, she has returned. I am not innocent in my reaction to her initially. I believed her to be an imposter, however marks of ones own pups do not lie" Taro extended his wrist towards the Elder, who took the proffered wrist and examined it carefully. "Send for her". Taro stood and motioned for one of the kitchen staff, the small Kitsune bowed and sprinted off to fetch the young lady.

A light knock was on the door of the antechamber "Come" Taro spoke out, the door slid across its runner, and a demure Kuroi Inu stepped in. However she was not alone. The Elder's eyebrow lifted at the sight of Inutashio's eldest son, and an unknown elder female that followed. "I did not seek an audience with you young Lord, will you and the maiden kindly step out" Sesshoumaru lifted a lip in defiance, Kagome placed her hand gracefully upon his arm, quelling him. "I will be alright, Elder-sama needs to see with his own eyes, that I am who my father says I am" Sesshoumaru looked once more at the Elder and Taro, a look of indecision on his usually stoic face "I will be just outside" Kagome dipped her head in thanks, watching her mate walk away begrudgingly and close the door behind himself and Amanae.

"Come here child" Elder requested, watching with his unfathomable gaze as the young female approached him, with grace and the bearing of a lady. "Taro tells me you are his daughter, that centuries ago a great injustice was dealt you. That you had returned alive and well, but staying clear of your responsibilities. That you gave your allegiance to a Miko. Do you understand the ramifications of that behaviour, of the predicament your father now resides in, of the added consequences you have placed on the West in your mating to the young Lord without presentation before the court?"

Kagome lowered herself to her knees, bowing her head before the Elder. "Elder-sama..." Taro spoke up, but was silenced as the Elder rose his hand declaring that the Southern Lord was not to speak. "Tell me young one, what punishment would be fitting for a Lady of the court that breaks the rules that govern all youkai" Kagome kept her head lowered, wanting to scream at this Elder that she had suffered enough already, but she understood that she had broken more rules than she realised possible for one so young as she. "May I be permitted to speak Elder-sama" she whispered. A non-committal sound was her only indication of approval.

"Whilst it is true that I broke several Laws, and bent Rules that govern all youkai. I never meant to cause harm, death or punishment to those around me. I was born a Jigoku Inu; damned by all before I took my first breath. My mother murdered on her birthing bed before I could even lay my eyes on her. Shunned by all youkai noble-born and lower as I was a mere pup; that I pushed myself beyond that which I was able to do. I did everything I could to protect the one I was charged with; I gave my life so that Inuyasha could live. I was broken and beaten for years by a Miko and her family on a Shrine of old. I was a personal purification plaything to a Miko; forced to be her Shirei. I fought against my father and my mate when compelled to do so. I turned my claws on the Miko that owned me. I have been poisoned, stabbed and even had my throat slit by an elemental dragon. Forgive me Elder-sama but I have been punished more than enough for a lifetime".

The Elder looked over the young Kuroi-Jigoku Inu and weighed her words. He folded his arms and sighed. The antechamber was silent, the sounds of birds outside keening. The Elder slowly turned his gaze to the shoji door "Sesshoumaru, come" he spoke deep. The door opened once more, the young Western Lord entering once more with the unknown maiden. Sesshoumaru strode in and stood behind his mate, placing his hands upon her shoulders. The unknown female standing by the door, keeping silent, her head lowered.

"Your mate has broken many Laws Sesshoumaru, as have you" The Elder began "You are a ruling daiyoukai. One that was chosen by Lord Taro himself, your own father agreed as did the ruling houses of the kingdoms that you rule as Lord, though we thought you too young for the responsibility. You have completed your tasks as a lordling, and have ruled successfully over the centuries. However, in the name of one female you have shirked these responsibilities for many lunar cycles. You mated said female without presentation to the court for approval as was your station to do. This young one says she has been punished more than enough in her life, which I am inclined to agree with. You on the other hand, what is stopping me from dissolving your mating from this female and denying you future relations with her?"

"Elder-sama!" Taro hissed, Kagome lifted her head and stared directly at the Elder in fear that he would do such. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at the Elder, his hands gripping his mate a little firmer in fear of losing her "If I may speak for myself Elder-sama" Sesshoumaru asked with a growl. Again the elder gave a non-committal growl, giving Sesshoumaru an opportunity to speak.

"I have not been as committed to my duties as was required of me I will admit. I came across my intended some months ago, she was beaten beyond an inch of herself. Her very essence being torn apart by a Miko. When I laid eyes on my mate once more I vowed that I would protect her with my life; that I would never lose her again. A great darkness spread over the lands, originating from somewhere between the South and the West. I knew that Kiros was involved. I have made it my Lordy duty to see to it, that he is brought to justice. He must be made to atone for the atrocities against my mate, the murder of her mother and the defilement of my younger brother. Everything I have done, I have done as a Lord of my kingdom. If you must instil a punishment, I take full accountability, strip me of my lands, return them to my father. But I humbly ask that you not take away my reason for living in this world, do not take away my mate".

Again silence fell over the chamber, whilst the Elder weighed up both Inu's declarations and statements.

Night covered the Lands of the South, In the confines of the antechamber Four Inudaiyoukai and the Elder remained shrouded within. Kagome had not moved an inch, resting on her knees as a noble lady would, without voicing her discomforts, head lowered awaiting her punishment. Sesshoumaru too stood behind his mate, his head lowered, refusing to let go lest the elder truly did dissolve their mating and take her away from him.

"Kagome-Machiro" The Elders voice rumbled through the room, breaking the silence that had descended for hours. Kagome lifted her head and opened her eyes "stand" she placed her hands on the floor and pushed herself up onto her feet, before rising fully, standing before her mate, her eyes pleading not to dissolve her mating with Sesshoumaru, a slight tremble to her countenance. "Sesshoumaru-Tashio" The Elder voiced "Step forward beside the female". Kagome could hear a gulp of fear behind her, heard the rustle of his haori, the light tred of his boots as he stood beside her. She turned her head to look at him in the corner of her eye, he did the same to her. His hand reached out and clasped hers 'No matter what happens Koi, I will never let you go, you are mine, forever'.

Taro held his breath, looking worriedly over both the young Inu before him. He could feel his daughter's fear, feel Sesshoumaru's restraint upon himself to not cower before the Elder. "I have made up my mind" again silence stretched over the room. "Kagome, Sesshoumaru, you are to announce your mating formally within the next moon's cycle.

"Sesshoumaru, your father shall return to the West and reign as Lord once more with Kiyoye. You and Kagome will remain here in the South under Lord Taro. You may be a Ruling Lord of your own holding between that of the South and West under both your fathers. But I renounce with the authority of the High Council, that you are no longer Lord of the Western regions.

"Furthermore, you are to bring Kiros to the High Council to stand treason for his treachery against that of his blood-kin, do you understand" Sesshoumaru took in a deep breath, closed his eyes and nodded once, accepting his fate under the high council. 'I am so sorry, If I were not here, this would never have happened' Kagome whispered within his mind. He clutched her hand tighter turning his gaze to hers 'I never wanted the lands and titles. I only wanted you'. The Elder stood, instantly both young Inu's lowered their heads respectfully. "Taro, escort your heirs out, and fetch Inutashio and Inuyasha, I am not done"

Taro bowed to the Elder, turning to the younger two and escorting them out of the room, before the elder changed his mind. The door closed behind them with a deafening click. Tears filled Kagome's eyes "I am so sorry". Amanae enveloped her daughter "he was lenient, you are both lucky he didn't dissolve your mating as well, he had the power to do so". Kagome pulled back from her mother. "That was lenient? Sesshoumaru has been stripped of his titles because of me" tears rolled down her cheeks, mopped up by one of Sesshoumaru's fingers, a smile upon his face.

"I have merely been moved from West to South. I may not be the Ruling daiyoukai there any longer, but I have you, here. The Elder said that we were your father's heirs, we are the heirs to the South. Nothing is lost, just merely rearranged. Your father benefits from this arrangement" He pulled her into a tight embrace, kissing her neck as he attempted to calm his mate. That not all was lost, he still won.

Tashio and Inuyasha walked side by side towards the antechamber, following Taro through the corridors. Tashio was growing uneasy, his lifelong friend and ally was guarded and refusing to speak to him "What happened in there?" Taro stopped walking for a brief moment, causing both Tashio and Inuyasha to also stop. He did not turn to face his friend but merely spoke in hushed tones "You are about to find out" Taro continued walking once more until he reached the door. He knocked once, opened it and ushered Tashio and Inuyasha within. "Thank you Taro...Take your leave" Taro stepped out of the room wordlessly and closed the door behind him, throwing up a silent prayer that his friend would fare well with the Elder.

"Tashio. You are hereby reinstated as the Lord of the Western regions, your Son Sesshoumaru has been removed by the High Council. He has been tasked with fulfilling his role as an heir to the Southern regions alongside his mate Kagome, under the rule of her father. Taro has no other living children, therefore in the eyes of the council your eldest son and his daughter will one day reign the South.

They have one lunar cycle to announce their mating, as was custom had they followed the laws. They are to bring Kiros before the High Council to be charged for his treasonous acts against his blood-kin and both the regions of the South and West"

Tashio nodded his head once, accepting the word of the Elder of High Council, shocked that his eldest son was stripped of his title. Meaning that by the morning's first light he would have to return to his home in the West.

"Inuyasha..." Tashio turned his gaze to his son, wordlessly telling him to not speak a word as the Elder addressed him. "You have committed crimes against the South and the West, you schemed alongside Kiros to destroy the South. You actions in delivering the only heir to her death. You conspired against one Ruling daiyoukai for the benefit of your own selfish desires. You conspired to deliver the West in the manner, usurping your elder brother, and plotting against him repeatedly. Your actions will not go unpunished, these are heinous crimes to which you will atone for, hanyou or not. You have Youkai blood in your veins, and as such your punishment will follow in accordance".

Inuyasha lowered his head and sighed, clenching his fists "I understand and accept your punishment" Tashio placed his hand upon his son's and addressed the Elder "Elder-sama, May I speak?" the Elder grunted to which Tashio took as affirmation. "My youngest Son, Inuyasha has not had an easy upbringing. In a home of full blooded youkai, he has had to stand tall and proud, he had been steered from his path. His soul shadowed by corruption. Inuyasha did not see the wrongs he brought about. Kagome in her benevolence purged the shadows from Inuyasha's soul with her healing light. Inuyasha has been atoning for his sins against her, to which she accepted with grace and kindness. Taro-sama accepted Inuyasha's apology for his actions against his only daughter, even calling Inuyasha his own kin. Inuyasha has already atoned for his crimes committed under false pretences. I humbly ask that he not be punished further".

Silence stretched out once more in the room as the Elder had more to consider. After a considerable silence the Elder rose from his position. "Tashio-sama, I take your words into consideration. Inuyasha, I will bestow a punishment upon you, in light of what your Sire has spoken you shall not be punished in the eyes of youkai. Your punishment is to atone for your sins of the South and West. You will accompany your brother and sister-kin on their task in bringing Kiros to the High Council".

"Yes, Elder-sama" Inuyasha accepted, looking to his father.

"Now, it has been a long and tiresome afternoon. Tashio, escort your youngest from the chamber and fetch Taro once more" Tashio bowed along with his youngest son, made for the door and slipped out quickly and quietly. Once the door clicked shut, Tashio released a breath he didn't know he'd held and closed his eyes. "What just happened in there?" Inuyasha asked quietly, Tashio shook his head and grabbed his youngest son's wrist, marching swiftly away from the antechamber to Taro's Study, where he could feel his friend, eldest son and mate.

Tashio entered the study with Inuyasha without knocking, shut the door and leant against it expelling a breath. "Well that was not my idea of fun" he groused. Taro stood, offering Tashio a cup of warm sake, to which he downed it immediately. "He wants to see you again, now" Taro looked taken aback, having been re-summoned to the chamber. He gave a pleading look towards Tashio. "I have no idea what he wants, best your newly appointed heirs follow and can help with whatever he needs". Kagome and Sesshoumaru both stood and followed Taro out of the study back to the antechamber.

Taro knocked and waited for the Elder to call him in, followed by both younger pups. "Ah, good. I see you are both taking to your duties already. Taro It has been a long and tiresome afternoon, would you extend your hospitality for the night?" Taro bowed low "It would be an honour Elder-sama, my daughter will show you to a room" Kagome bowed low, and turned to lead the Elder to a room in the Eastern range when his voice cut through once more. "Tashio-sama said something interesting when we conversed. Tomorrow morning, I wish to see the extent of this purging power your daughter gained from being tied to a Miko".
