Disclaimer - I own InuYasha just as much as I believe that suspension is bad! Hey you get one or more days off from school what is so bad about that?

Chapter Sixteen
Future Mate
I leaned against my chair glaring at the wall. The leaders had long since left a few days before leaving me to contemplate my thoughts.
I couldn't go against the council of the elders! They were powerful force to reckon with. I glanced at the scrolls that laid on my desk. These were my options on mates. I couldn't choose for myself for some reason. The elders had always decided when it was time for the lords to take a mate. They had told Kouga his time limit of finding a mate. They had practially forced Daloushu to get his mate, and Kanos had chosen before his time was given.
Now I the powerful lord of the western lands had to follow the rules of a few old geezers! Highly disgraceful, but I can not choose to ignore them. For they can easily claim any of my lands or others if they worked together. Wisdom comes with years, and they had been here for many years. Yet, they do not look a day older then twenty.
I turned towards the doors as I snarled, "Jaken disturb me, and it will be your head!" All I could hear after that was the scurrying of a small pathetic creature as it ran far from the door.
I stood up abruptly the chair skid back as I walked around my desk. Snatching the scroll I paced across the library floor.
The elders were stubborn old fools. They were the people lords like myself had to face if we ever broke the rules of lordship. Stupid rules if I can say so myself. First rule is that I can not kill unless provoked, another is follow the elders rules no matter how much I may disagree. If I disagree with their opinions enough I can bring it up to them, and try to make them change their minds which is very rare. So many rules its ridicules I am suppose to be feared as a symbol of power, and freedom. Yet, even I am subdued by rules, and regulations!
I unrolled the scroll as I finally stopped to read my 'selections'. I frowned as I realized that there were only five. Five choices for my future mate? It must be hard to find any that would stand any amount of chance if I attacked.
Farpheunan Guemer
Common Racoon Demon
Princess of Deception
Why on earth would I ever consider someone who is powerful at deception? Do the elders find me foolish or naive? I continued reading to the rest.
Yamunachi Fhlemer
Doberman Dog Demon
Elder of her Tribe
How old would an elder be? If she is anything like the council of elders then I think it just may be say to pass. She may be a dog demon, but the elders are always all knowing, and most predictably completely boring.
Buack Kanyup
Polar Bear Demon
Strongest of her Territory
Stronger they are the more dominate they wish to be. Not the best choice for me.
Guamner Poryer
Whitetail Deer Demon
Powerful Mind
Deers are to gentle, and kind something that I am not looking forwards to in a mate.
Kagome Higurashi
Snow Leopard Demon
Destroyer of Naraku
...This may prove to be interesting!
(( I know I should have explained in the last one that the council had already left therefore having Kouga back with his pack. I worked fast on this one so yay for me! Hope yo like it I know its slightly short, but I hurried because I forgot to explain last time that each of the stories may be held a few days difference from each other. Such as one day InuYasha may be talking then the next chapter Kagome could be talking about a week after! I love snow leopards they have the coolest tail, and I just got done reading a book with them in it its called Wild Rain it is so good! Well till next chapter!))
