Disclaimer: I don't own anything!!! None of the IY characters and all that blah blah! But I do own Selene for now since she's the only one of my character's that are going to be mentioned.
Anyways…
Summary: Sesshoumaru is the prince of the Western Lands. And his father and sister are fixed to make his life a living hell. He follows what they wish, but there are many times when he just wants to pierce their brains with his sword. One day he's ordered to kill someone. He hates taking orders and listening but he needs to be patient, his time to reign is not far, and all in all he just plainly wants them to shut up. There is no one whom he will carry out orders for except his father and sister, but when his time to the throne has come, will he spare them? And when he's on his way to execute this person, what will he do when he finds out something about this certain person that irks him to change his mind?
And yeah! This story is completely based on the first person view of Sesshoumaru, he thinks too much. Anyways…
His Pity On Her Life: Chapter One
Here I was again, being forced to listen to her pathetic life. This is all a waste of my time, seven more months until I'm allowed to slice of her mouth.
She turned to me with a glare, "Sesshoumaru, could you do me a favor and go to the mountains and retrieve for me the most beautiful stone for my necklace? It will hang perfectly around my perfect neck and add more perfection to me."
I remained seated on a chair resting an arm on the table that was near me. The study was a nice place, the shelves were filled with neatly placed books. Books, wow… I'd rather read a book than look at this wench's face! I slumped against the table, "Sister, if you are so perfect, why would you wish for jewelry?" I watched as her tone to me became more sour with ever word. She was scolding me, hn.
"I wish for jewelry because one can never be too perfect." She kept ranting, she would not stop until I did what she asked me to. I gripped the hilt of my sword trying to control myself from picking her up and throwing her out of the window. "Are you listening to me?!"
No.
"I asked are you listening to me?!"
What luck I was having today, I didn't say that out loud, "No." There it had finally come out. "How dare you?! I do nothing but ask of a simple task from you and this is how you treat me?" Yes I was correct, she is not going to stop harangue until I did what she asked.
I stood up and nodded, "Yes my cherished sister, I will now go out to find you the most magnificent stone you've ever seen." She folded her arms and looked at me, I hate that stance, she's treating me like I'm an idiot, I hate that look, that face, her. "Well that took you a while to comprehend what I was saying, what more of a moron can you be?" She kept her pose as I walked towards her.
I was standing by her side, our heads faced in different directions; hers was toward the window, and mine towards the door. The door, my exit from this whore, "Though it will not make you dreadful face any better, at least the guest will not have to go home blinded by your hideous face."
Her mouth flew open in shock; I left the study knowing that she wanted to roar at me, but she hesitated, must have been because she had realized that what I had said had been true. Now here I am walking, why had I listened to her?
…
As I reached the outside of the castle I looked down upon the lands. I wonder what I'd be if I lived a life like them, I watched as they buzzed around going on with their lives. That was enough for me; I do not wish to think until I have gotten to the mountains. Idiot sister…
Turning I headed for the stables, a guard had opened the door for me. Does he think I am pathetic and cannot open a mere door? Should I kill him for treason? I looked at him and thought no more of. It would have been a waste of my time.
I looked around and saw a two-headed flying dragon-like demon. My sister had once told me before that I am like them; that whore, I had responded telling her that she is like an ugly lizard that I had finished stepping on. She had just laughed, stupid wench. I climbed onto the creature and headed to the mountains.
…
What am I her slave?! Useless girl, can't do anything for herself. I scanned the area, the people who had been bathing in the springs had gone back into where they had crawled out from. Idiots. I am not even in the frame of mind for killing, as long as they do not bother me.
Where in hell is it? I was starting to get frustrated with this. I have never gone out to look for a stone, what am I suppose to do? Stand here and look stupid? No. That's my dear sister's profession.
"Finally somewhere we can relax, I hope the springs are as good as they say." The voice caught my attention and I snapped around and watched as two figures came into my view. A male and a female, and they appear to be human. Or they could be demons; I habitually run into demons that take human form often, so I cannot be too sure.
I stood my ground and watched as they stopped when they saw me. Both of them had long silver hair identical to mine. It was an odd sight; maybe if I cut off their heads then maybe it won't be as odd.
The girl looked young, and the boy besides her looked maybe around a year older than him. He was glaring at me, looking like he was going to protect the one besides him if I were to attack.
I wonder if he can match up to me. She interrupted my thinking, "Hello there!" I looked at her, she was smiling, but it was different from my whore of a sister's smile, it was inviting not unpleasant. I didn't reply.
"You look familiar, I just can't put my tongue to it." She squinted one eye and placed a hand on her cheek. I watched the person next to her, he had not stopped glaring, his eyes must be damaged. If he doesn't stop looking at me like that I'll damage his whole face.
"I know!" The small one squealed, she seemed happy. About what? Figuring out who I was? What a misuse of energy. "You're the prince of the Western Lands!" I ignored her, "Where can you find stones for jewelry?" I asked.
I, I Sesshoumaru asking for help? Hn, maybe being with my sister is making me fall victim to her pathetic way of thinking. "Huh? You're here to look for stones?" The male asked. Common sense, if I asked then I would have to be looking for it. I nodded, he at long last concluded that I was not there to kill nor bathe in the springs.
"Umm your highness, if you're looking for stones, you are on the wrong mountain, I'm not sure which mountain to go to, but my brother here knows." She stopped talking. So the two are blood linked. He spoke, "Head south following the mountains until you see a river. When you reach the river, follow it up stream and the first mountain that you see, you'll find the stones your looking for." I turned around and headed to the demon when I heard him speak, "This is an odd one." He whispered to the girl next to him. He did not think I could hear him? I, a 'this' ? I demur, I can be odd for they cannot reach to my greatness, but I am not a 'this'.
I'll let him go this time since he offered me knowledge. No, I'll let this moron go for now, he does not know what kind of a risk he had put himself into.
I mounted myself onto the demon and left them. And headed south.
…
I walked through the market of our lands where trade took place searching for a jeweler. Damn it, stupid wretched sister, I've done too much for her already. I looked around and found what I've been looking for, there stood an old man; he had better be skilled for his age. I walked to the stand that the man was sitting behind of; I held out the large green stone the size of my palm and dropped it on the stand.
"Make a necklace, the gem should be large but not as large as it is, and you may do what ever you wish with the leftovers. You'll receive your pay tomorrow in the morning when I come to pick up the merchandise." With that I left the old man and headed for the palace.
On my way there I roamed around to see that this place was more peaceful than the palace. Yes people still honor me here but they don't follow me around, and the young men here have more respect towards others than the knights in the palace. Maybe if my lovely sister were to get into my skin again I should take refuge around here or somewhere around the lands, she would very much refuse anything that would get her shoes dirty. Terrible sickness with her head.
I sighed, changed my mind, and walked into a village, I watched as little children played around, while the young men and women learned a trade or took care of a family. Maybe if I were born like them, then maybe my sister would not be such a bitch. But exactly how strong could I get if I had distractions?
I walked more into the village and to one of the trees that were around the lands. I looked around, there was not a lot of homes around this tree, just a few but they were too far to notice that I was there; I sat down under the tree for shade. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the trunk.
What am I going to do tomorrow? Selene will be her normal idiotic self like she always is, and will be idiotic around me once again. Dumb sister… What am I going to do? Maybe I should just attend for half the gathering and for the other half I'll take refuge under this tree.
No, it needs to be somewhere more secretive…
Sesshoumaru, where are you? Sesshoumaru!!! She finally found me and enfolded me in her arms. "Sesshoumaru honey, don't do that, you had me worried! Please don't roam around again, without someone knowing. I beg you, you mean too much to me to lose." She was crying, and I hugged her back, "Okay mother, what ever you say." I let go of her and watched her cry, "Mother stop crying, I was going to head back anyways. And stop calling me dear and all those names; I'm not a girl. More to the point I find it better if you'd call me Sesshoumaru, after all it is my name."
Strange… Why is all of a sudden I'm thinking of my mother? Wait, I hid in a cave. Now I understand, but if I stay in that cave, then I'm sure father would know where I am at. Uselessness…
Maybe I will just retreat here… But I still wonder what happened to my mother. No! The past is finished and I'm heading towards the future. I stood up and made my way towards the palace.
…
"Ah! Sesshoumaru, your back, hurry we must make something for you to wear for tomorrow." As soon as I had gotten back she grabbed my wrist and started pulling me somewhere. "Unless you want to attract all the young women by wearing nothing." I looked at her aghast, what a disgusting mind my sister had. I now clearly see that she is a whore.
"Oh come on… I didn't mean that! I'm assuming that you did what I had asked you to?" I nodded, "I do not wish to look 'special' for tomorrow. I'm fine with whatever is on me." She scoffed, "Even if you were wearing rags?"
I pulled away from her grip, "If I had no choice then I will make due with what I have. And so will you, unless you like being uncovered." She grabbed my wrist again, wow she's really getting under my skin, and she's lucky I'm not hitting her. "Well Sesshoumaru I am not going to stand around seeing that my brother is not as well dressed as the rest." I pulled away from her grip once again and this time I held her wrists. "Well if you refuse to stand around, you may sit."
"Sesshoumaru! If you do not listen, I am going to follow you and scream and whine! It's your choice!" Is that suppose to be a threat? "I could always go into my room and mate with one of the maids, would you follow me in there?" I smirked as her expression changed, "No but I know you wouldn't do that."
I let go of her, "Well why don't we see how well you know me." She started whining, urgh. "Fine!" Anyways it's not like me to do that. She grinned and pulled me into a room where three ladies were waiting, they must be the tailors. Why three? You only need one, maybe my sister is just too dim witted to know that. At least they aren't men…
My sister watched as they measured me and she advised them what color it should be and all those things. One of the ladies were drawing what Selene was telling them. She's bound to make me look like an idiot. I don't want to listen to them.
I headed towards the window, and looked out; it was almost sunset. There she was again with her ranting, she was trying to talk to me. Hn, trying, well she can keep trying because I'm not going to listen. "Sesshoumaru!!!" Sure yell all you want dear sister, I hope you loose you voice, I am not going to listen.
She threw me something and aimed it for my head, I heard it when it was nearing to me, as if it's going to really hit me, I caught it and noted it was an apple. Why was there an apple here to begin with? I looked at her and smirked, "Thanks." She stomped her foot down against the floor, "Sesshoumaru you're not listening!" I took a bite into the apple, "You noticed."
Making her mad was amusing, she's like a stupid puppy who tries to bark but can't. "Sesshoumaru! You have to be at your best, Kagura will be here tomorrow!" I looked at her confused, "So?"
"Sesshoumaru, don't you like her? You two were kissing in the garden last time she was here." Shit! She saw that?! "No I didn't."
"YES YOU DID!!!" I shook my head, "How delusional you are." I walked to the door but stopped when she called me, "Where the hell are you going?" I turned to her, "I'm going to bathe, why are you going to follow me?" She smirked, "Of course not! But I do have to send someone to follow you, I mean after not bathing for three weeks I'm sure you'd forget how to bathe." Me not clean? I don't think so… "You have gotten it all mixed up sister, not bathing is you doing, besides I've also take a bath this morning, and I will tonight, but since you touched me it would be better if I bathe as soon as I can."
I walked out the door, she's always starting quarrels but she never seems to end anything. How useless, she can't finish anything she starts what kind of a ruler is she? Worthless…
"I know that you kissed her, I saw that, it all depends on how far you two went. So dear brother what did you two do that night other than kissing?!" She yelled trying to get my attention, which failed, she might be able to make me do things but getting attention is not really her talent.
Kagura… Hn, she'll be here tomorrow. That gives me more of a reason to get away…
"So Sesshoumaru, you'll be ruling after father correct?" I didn't answer, wasn't it obvious already? Selene has no skill whatsoever, and there can't be a female ruler even if she was smarter than me. Right, her being smart? That'll be the day I become her sister! What am I doing here again?
"Okay… I'll take that as a yes. So who are you planning to have by your side as a queen?" Shut up already, I walked away leaving my stupid sister behind.
"Sorry if that offended you, but if you truly wish not to speak to me, then why ask for me to follow you here?" I didn't ask you, Kanna did. She stood in front of me; I just looked at her. Her eyes were starting to turn red, I looked away. Amazing, I really need this right now.
She closed her eyes, "Well it was a great pleasure to meet you Sesshoumaru. But I have to be on my way now." She passed by me as I took her by her elbow and turned her to face me. Her eyes were red, her breathing was raspy, and her tears were staining her face. "What's wrong?" I asked. She tried pulling out of my grasp, and looked at me evilly. "You are such an ass!" I grabbed her free hand before it made any contact to my face. "I am?" Both of her arms were of no use to her so she just shut her eyes.
I'm an ass? I don't look like any mule I've seen before. But I looked at her; she was so upset. I leaned in and pressed my mouth against hers. My hands let go and were soon around her.
I placed two of my fingers over my mouth. Why did I do that?
Here I lay on my bed, the whole time it took me to walk here I thought about her, and now that I am here, she still won't leave my mind. And she'll be here tomorrow, what will I do this time? Brainless sister, why did she have to see that? Worst of all Kanna will be here, Kagura's dearest older sister. Hn, so the two of us have the same curse, she lives under the horror of her older sister and I to my younger sister. Selene, she's still young, but too old to be as stupid as she is, my one and only sibling.
I need to stop thinking about all this. I looked out the window and the sky was now and orange color, time for me to bathe. Dinner isn't an option to me right now; I'll just sleep after I'm clean, unlike Selene. Never mind! I do not want to think at the moment.
…
"Sesshoumaru dear brother! It is time for you to awaken!" Selene burst through my door with her usual grin. It seems I can never get any peace in this place. I stood there in front of the large window looking at her. "I've been awake since dawn, what do you want?" She made her way to me, and wrapped her slender arms around me, standing on her toes to reach my height, "What are you doing?" She really wants to test me, doesn't she?
"I'm hugging my brother! The greatest brother in the entire world! I love you Sesshoumaru-sama." She increased the pressure, and hugged me even tighter. She kissed my cheek before placing her feet flatly on the ground and smiling. "What?" Just as much as I like making her angry she adores annoying me. "Like I said! The greatest brother in the world."
"What do you want?" I asked taking a seat on the windowsill. "I don't want anything. I'm just here to say thank you for the gorgeous necklace!" She pulled out a thick golden necklace that had some kind of large pointed flower. I had woken up at dawn to retrieve it, and the man had told me that he had just ran a chisel through the stone and pieced them together to make a flower, and placed all the remains onto the necklace. Strange though, he refused to take any payment. I didn't listen and just paid him and left.
Then when I had gotten back I had merely placed the thing onto one of Selene's tables in her bedroom. And now here she is touching me. "You know, I had just finished taking a bath and you had made me filthy." She pouted, "I come here and thank you, and you just be mean like you always are." She right, there are a lot of times when she acts like an unpleasant child, but she does show a lot of gratitude after.
"It does not matter, what do you want, since you've finished."
She grabbed my wrist and pulled me out the door. "You didn't attend dinner last night, you must be hungry. Come on, it's breakfast time let's eat!"
"So… Are you happy that you'll see Kagura tonight? I know you are. Sesshoumaru, kissing, Kagura, kissing, each other, kissing…" She's thankful and then she back to her irritating self. "What if I break that necklace you like so much?"
I don't think she liked what I said. She walked to the table and found a letter, she looked at to whom it was for and handed it to me, "It's from Father." She said, taking her seat.
I read through it. Son, you are almost Ruler of the Western Lands, you must learn responsibility. There fore I and the other aged Rulers will not attend tonight's gathering. You will learn how to get along and how to treat guests. And since you are older and will be ruling these lands you will host. Find your queen. I will not tolerate failure!
What do you think I am? I know my duties, and I will not take your orders. I will do as I wish. Failure? I've waited too long for that. Don't worry Father, I know my time is near, and so is your time to rot. Under my blade? We'll see.
"So what is the letter about?" Selene asked, "Father and the other aged Rulers will not attend. Only the ones around our age, and I'm the host."
"No fair! But it's okay. At least there will be lots of men." She whined.
It is like all she thinks about is being a bed whore to every man she thinks fits her needs. I wonder, what if Kagura were like that? Could I still be able to accept her? No, I'm not accepting anybody.
…
When will it end? It's past midnight already, and they are all still in their joyful moods. Everything is so pointless. I stood up from a chair and walked around trying to look for Selene. I did not quiet really understand why I was looking for her but if someone can get me away from this place it's her.
I walked around people whom were either dancing or doing anything else. I finally found her stupidly looking emerald gown; I grabbed her shoulder and turned her to face me. Once she had a good look on me she smiled and now she was the one dragging me.
"I had told Kagura how much you missed her since the last time."
"What?!" I pulled away and stopped her, I was getting tired of her moronic attempts to put me and Kagura together, "Selene enough! You've had your fun, it's time to act like the lady you are! Now you will go and fix every misconception you had created between me and her, do you understand me?"
I was really starting to sound like an animal trainer whom had to train and animal with no brain whatsoever. But for once she understood and was on her way to do as I said. Finally I had gotten through her thick skull. I stood where I was at and thought about how too good this was to be true.
My theory was correct when my wench of a sister was walking my way followed by Kagura and her annoying older sister whom seemed to be vertically challenged, Kanna.
Bitch! She was the most-"Good Evening Lady Kagura, and Kanna." When will this night end?!
"It is nice for us to meet again, Sesshoumaru." Kanna said glaring at me. "Sesshoumaru, is it true that you truly did miss us?" Kanna continued. I shook my head, "No." I took Kagura's hand and walked her to me, "I specifically said, I missed Kagura, I'm sorry if you were mislead."
She gave me one more glare before leaving my sight, hopefully for good. I can't stand to look at her cockroach face, who does she think she is? She's even worst than Selene, my sister isn't even that ugly. Yes, about Kanna, I hate her to the greatest point, I don't seem to remember why but I just do.
Now I must get rid of the person holding my hand, before the others start to think I am courting her. But speaking of Selene, she wasn't here anymore. I don't remember anything of her leaving. Just then a loud yell was heard from outside, in the garden.
I recognized that yell, it was Selene. She didn't sound hurt or annoyed or any minor set back, she yelled in pure anger. That too is still minor especially to me since she'd at times non-stop keep yelling just to get me to do something. Everybody stared walking outside to see what was happening and what had caused the yell.
I on the other hand think that I think that she had just stepped on a toad, or rejected my a man, it is after all just Selene. Then a tug came from my hand and noticed that Kagura hadn't let go yet. She too I guess wanted to see what happened and tried to usher me outside.
After walking through a bunch of people we finally made it to Selene. Hn, we, something I really can't get used to. My sister was standing there breathing heavily and was staring straight at me. One thing is for sure, I didn't do anything.
"SESSHOUMARU!!!" She roared, amazing, she's an animal now.
That's when I saw her face, her cheeks were puffy and her eyes were become red, she'd been crying, okay maybe I did do something I wonder what I did. She made her way to me and looked at me, with pure hatred written all over her. "I WANT HER DEAD!!!" She bellowed.
She's right in front of me and she still wishes to act like I can't hear. Very well then. "I beg your pardon, I couldn't quite hear you." Kagura had now finally let go of my hand and was trying to get everybody back into the castle. Selene grabbed me by the front of my shirt, like that will help. "I SAID I WANT HER DEAD YOU BASTARD!!!" If I'm a bastard then what does that make her? A she-tard? Or bastardess? Whore is good.
When Kagura had leaded a large number of people back into the castle I spoke, "So?"
"If you don't cooperate, you will not get the throne. The same exact throne you've been waiting for, for years end on to come. I'm warning you Sesshoumaru, all those years wasted. Kill her and I will forget I ever mentioned this."
I don't know what to call her at the moment, she can't ruin my chances, I'm so close! "Who is it?" I asked, I had to take another order from her and this time it's with bribery. She smiled as she cuddled my arm evilly.
"She lives around here somewhere, in the towns, in our lands. Our lands our big, big lands, and she is a mere insect, I want her to die in your hands. I want her to die slowly, and painfully, anything- torture her. And then I want her body hacked into pieces and feed to animals or demons, which ever. And then she has this ring, given to her by her beloved grandmother. I want the ring." She purred as she brushed her cheek on my arm.
"Do you want a finger to come with that?" I asked, she smiled and shook her head. "Selene, her name?"
She laughed, "Rin."
"I WANT RIN DEAD!!!"
Okay that's the first
Chapter, hoped you guys enjoyed it!
Anyways… R&R!!!
