Title: Apart of Me chapter 6 _Pleasing Royalty
By: kiyoushi
A/N: This took longer than I wanted it too to write but I got a few good reviews. I'm trying to make the chapters longer so they take me longer to write (obviously). So since I'm working on Bonded also, I have to write each chapter in a specific order, first I usually write Love me for eternity, then Apart of me, then Bonded. The Love me for eternity chapter is finished and should be posted even before I finish this chapter. Please go check it out!!!
I do tend to use Japanese words, and I don't think I've been listing them, SORRY! This is a list of the ones I usually use.
Hanyou- half demon Youkai- demon Ningen- human Onna- woman Baka- stupid Ahondara- retard, idiot Miko- priestess Inu-dog Neko- cat Usagi- rabbit Tai-jiya-demon exterminator Houshi- monk, low ranking priest
I help it helps somewhat with those stories that, they use these also. Thank you to all who reviewed, but I need more so keep them coming!!!!!

InuYasha nervously stepped up to the giant palace doors, and raised a balled fist to knock. He reared back is wrist and brought his knuckles upon the door. and stopped in mid-knock.
What if they rejected him? What if she wouldn't see him? What if the king wouldn't let him see her? He needed to get inside and find out, for unless he does this, he'd never know.
His knuckles, white from being bent so hard and long, finally rapped upon the door. *knock, knock, knock* They steadily began to open, and he had to step back to let them open all the way. There stood a small man, a ningen none the less, who bowed regally and wove a hand signaling for him to come through.
~~~~____~~~~
They all sat around the fire as it blazed warmly in the night air. Kaede still pressed warm compresses to young Kagome's forehead and prayed that InuYasha would hurry and complete his task, so he could come back to his girl and have her wake up, and for him to tell her how he feels, and for them to live happily ever after.
She almost laughed out loud. Where did she get happily ever after from? It was just the beginning if-when- they got married. They it'd be the beginning of a whole new adventure of love and happiness nonetheless, but it will also have its own trials.
Things like that should left to be pondered over later, she decided, she should take care of Kagome now, while she could.
Sesshomaru cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention to him. They looked at him awkwardly, wondering why the heck was he still here in the first place. "I doubt my brother will ever get the girl's soul back if he relies on the lord of the south's wife." He stated clearly and took a somewhat sad glance at the body of the young mistress.
This turned a table over in each one's mind, for the worst nonetheless. Everyone was confidant that he would go to the lady of the southern lands, get the remedy, and perform the remedy, whatever it may be, and Kagome would be okay again. How a simple sentence from someone considered your enemy could shatter your hopes like glass.
~~~~____~~~~
InuYasha stood before the Lord of the Southern Lands. The youkai was kind of small, kind of chubby, and kind of arrogant in appearance. InuYasha, even though it denounced his pride somewhat, bowed bow one knee until he was given the signal to stand.
"What is it that you come for?" the Lord asked.
"I come for the Lady of the Southern lands, who I have been told can help me with my. my." what was he to call Kagome? His lover, his crush, his. Lady? It was odd indeed; he had never thought what he was to address her as. "My Lady, Kagome."
"Ah, you mean the woman you love!" the lord exclaimed, chuckling.
InuYasha bowed his head to hide his blush, even though he knew the Lord could see it.
"I must say no, lad, I really don't care about that woman of yours. Besides, I don't feel like it."
Arrogant indeed, InuYasha mused, and looked up with anger in his eyes. "What if it was your wife with her very soul stolen? What would you do?" he asked, wanting more than anything to just wring the fellow's neck.
"Well. Son. That would never happen to me. Plus, I have no intention of letting the woman go anywhere! Bah, she's my woman, she goes-"
He was cut off by his very own wife. "I will go where I please!" she yelled. Then walked to InuYasha's side. "My Lord InuYasha, you are Lord Inutaisho's son, ne?"
He nodded.
"My, my, the last time I saw you, you we're still in your mother's tummy! But you have your father's eyes, hai you do. Let us see, may my Lord be gracious to you, InuYasha-sama. Ah, Tsuki would be proud to see how beautifully you've grown. Ah, I am sorry of her death, even though long ago, she was a dear friend to me."
"Thank you."
"I see you've found yourself a lover, huh, boy?"
He blushed.
"Then we must help save her."
"NO!" he husband bellowed from his throne. "You will not help anyone without my permission!"
"Oi, so overprotective!" she hissed.
"I have to protect you! Who knows what he might try to do to you!"
"Lord Inutaisho's son must have honor, more than you yourself, husband. He deserves a chance. Besides, his reasons are noble."
"And what reasons are those?"
Both InuYasha and the Lady groaned.
"To save his mate," she answered.
"Erm, she's not my mate, but I do." he stopped and blushed a deeper shade of red.
"What is it?"
"I love her, he grinned sheepishly and his blush grew to the color of his haori. "But I haven't gotten a chance to ask her to be my mate as of yet, but I would like a chance." He doubted the Lord would understand, but he saw by the way the Lady looked at him, that she understood his reasoning. She cooed softly and patted his back, just as he felt like breaking down and sobbing.
It was his fault she was like this now, he could have prevented it by telling her sooner, and of even being there watching her like he promised her he would. What was with him and breaking promises? He mentally smacked himself. Then he noticed that he was doing that a lot lately. Mentally, he chuckled, Kagome would have said something about how it wasn't his fault and he couldn't protect everyone at all times. How his thoughts always went back to her, he didn't know how but he knew it was because he loved her. It was his way of remembering her.
"I challenge you, then, InuYasha!" the Lord yelled, leaping off of his chair and onto the marble floor. He grabbed a katana and crouched into a fighting position. The Lady groaned again. InuYasha whipped out Tetsusaiga.
"I accept and if I win, she must help me!" InuYasha yelled.
"I would help anyway," she grumbled under her breath. Men. she'd never understand what was with them and fighting.
"Fine! But if I win I. get your sword!"
InuYasha looked down at Tetsusaiga in his hand. He was sure that he was going to win, but the guy looked like a cheater himself and maybe pull out something unexpectatly, and beat him. Failure was always a possibility, even though not always acknowledged. He hesitated. Without Tetsusaiga, he would have nothing to guard him from the evil within himself. From the horrible pain of killing for just the fun of it. He stared sadly.
But at least Kagome would be alright again. She had given up her life for him, a way of payback, huh?
"Yes, if you win, you may take Tetsusaiga."
~~~~_____~~~~
"So, what is this about, Sesshomaru-sama?" Miroku asked for maybe the tenth time during their dinner. The youkai lord groaned, look what he got for trying to say something to the nosy man. No wonder his brother was always looking for intruders when trying to do something 'sweet' for his 'love'. He scuffed mentally. Love, bah!
"My point is that the Lord of the Southern lands is very overprotective of his wife and that he wouldn't let anyone request her help. He's just... stupid like that."
Everyone else groan audibly while Sesshomaru groaned mentally. So much for following orders and helping his younger brother, especially when the boy was the heir to practically all the land.
'Oh brother, please don't make a fool out of yourself!'
