A Twisted Fairy Tale

CH 5: Corrupted Plans

So it was to arrive, in a few hours the Princess of the Northern, Southern and Eastern lands, would step into his lands and ask for his alliance. This was a different turn of events. He was expecting a war between him and the Princess, not for he to be allied with her. He looked up at the blood stained night sky and saw a shooting star pass by. But still, he wasn't quite sure why he should accept her alliance, for he knew that she was one not to be trusted.

It made him wonder how incredibly stupid the Princess was, for he was almost sure she would arrive at his castle without any guards. Of course, he was going to give her chance to speak of her "reasons", but he believed that he already knew her reasons. He had taken the Shikon no Tama. Why the Princess is so interested in such item confuses him, but he knew that she had wanted it and he has it.

While the Princess stays in his castle, he would have to watch her and keep his guard up. The bitch was something, but he wouldn't let her be something that kills him. It irritated him that she was actually very pleasing to his eyes, that her scent could actually seduce him, that she was able to arouse him... But what annoyed him most is that he had no reason to call her a whore. She wasn't taken...

Sesshoumaru's silver flew upwards behind him as the cold wind blew towards him. He inhaled the scent of his lands and what is on it. It almost surprised him that she was already on his lands, but he could tell that she wasn't alone. She was with someone, most likely a powerful bodyguard. It didn't matter, for if the Princess dared to make one wrong move, he would end her life. She was after all only a nuisance to him, for as he now knows, many has compared her to him and it annoyed him to no end, to find that even his army of men desired and feared her at the same time.

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

Birds' chirping could be heard and the darkened sky has turned the colour of light blue with tainted red from the East, as the sun started to shine. Nearly two days have past and now, she was here, walking towards a castle that is unknown by her. Shippou holding her right hand tightly as she her form gets closer to the beautiful castle. She has never been in the Western Lands, but now she guessed that things would have to change. In fact many things will change. No longer will she try to hastily kill the Lord of the West. She will have to gain his trust first and seducing him was no longer one of the options, she will have to gain his trust in other ways.

She has decided that this will be a new game...

Her mother had already told her the information she needed to know about the new Western Lord. Apparently, her mother has once has serve as one of Lord Inutaisho's concubines and had met the little future Lord, Sesshoumaru. Now that she knows of his name, she knows that she will have to address him with this. It was the proper way to make an alliance.

Stopping in front of the royal blue coloured gates, Kagome scowled at the soldiers as she gave them a piercing glare. "Open the gates," she ordered as she watched them bowed deeply to her and soon run to open the gates.

Walking in, Kagome stared ahead; an old woman in a beautiful hakama was waiting for her in front of the large doors. She wore a Miko outfit and her face full of wrinkles. Annoyed that the Western Lord did not come to meet her, Kagome walked closer to the old woman and stop a few feets away.

"The Lord of the West?" She asked, her voice demanding and the usual dominant lacing it.

"Princess Kagome, he is in his study and has known of your arrival. You may visit him." The old woman bowed deeply. The beauty of the Princess was indeed incredible and even her mere aura was overpowering.

"Lead me to his study." Kagome ordered.

"Yes, Princess Kagome." Kagome heard the old woman say, but Kagome's eyes narrowed slightly as she saw the old woman looked down at Shippou. "Will he also be with you?" The old woman asked.

"He is my ward." Kagome stated plainly. "It would be no use of him to accompany me, I would need to speak with the Lord of the West alone."

The woman nodded.

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

He had been looking for her nearly the whole day, yet he still couldn't find her. He needed her by his side in a addicting way. She was always a source of calmness and it wasn't because he loves her, for he didn't love her. She was but a mere tool of his lust and a mere object to use. She was beautiful, smart and he guessed that she must have some sort of power, but while most would have probably fallen for her, he could not. He knew that she was a woman that shouldn't be trusted, for she was after all a whore. Why a miko would become a whore confuse him, but he couldn't help but notice that she didn't seem to have a scent.

While most would have their own unique scent, every time he inhaled hers, he found nothing. It actually came to his mind that she was probably using magic to hide them, for the fear that he would smell all of the males that has used her for their object, but that didn't matter to him. Though, he also couldn't help but notice at how his demon brother seems to be so disgusted by his miko.

He had heard of news today - and it was indeed interesting. It was said that the Princess of the Northern, Southern and Eastern lands was visiting the West to arrange their "alliance". The news about the princess interested him, for he could not help but wait in anticipation at what her beauty would be like. She was in history books, like his brother, for most would admire her dominant beauty, while fearing her wrath.

His miko was nowhere to be found and he wondered why. She was usually constantly by his side, but in some days she would be away. He guessed that she'd be back soon, so why not just go to Sesshoumaru's study and see the enchanting princess? His miko could meet the princess later...

Walking pass many of the old paintings in the hall, Inuyasha thought that he had just felt a powerful aura approaching. This aura was different; it was soothing, powerful and for some reason...wonderful to his senses. He walked faster towards the doors that would lead him to his brother's study. The faster he walked, the faster the powerful aura gets closer.

His eyes looked straight ahead as inu ears twitched a little when he heard footsteps. They were two of them, one with footsteps that is done with a loud thump, the other calm and it sounded as if it echoed through the hall. The powerful aura that he could feel only made him want to run straight to the footstep, but he just stood there when he arrived in front of his brother's study.

He waited for a while when he heard the footsteps near, only to turn it's direction somewhere else. They weren't going to his brother's study? He was sure that the enchanting footstep and the powerful aura belonged to the Princess, then why was the Princess heading somewhere else? Does this mean that she will meet his brother later? Well, he didn't want to wait and he shouldn't have too. But for now, he should visit his brother.

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

The castle was indeed as beautiful, as elegantly designed as hers. Once again, Kagome's greed had taken over. Like before with Lord Kouga, when she had decided she will own his castle, now is when she decided that she would also own this. The sound of the sliding doors being opened rang through her ears as she saw the old woman bowed for her to enter. Kagome nodded, in some ways pleased that this human know of her status.

Kagome turned around and looked down at the old woman's bowed head. "I have decided that I will visit Lord Sesshoumaru when I wish to."

"Yes, Lady Kagome."

"Tell me of your name, human."

"Kaede, my Lady." Kaede answered, with much respect, her head still bowed deeply.

"Kaede, as long as I stay here, you will be my personal servant. You shall inform Lord Sesshoumaru of my decision, tell him that the Princess of the three lands does not wish to visit his study and when she does, she will do so. Also, you will take care of my ward, if anything is to happen, your life will end before you know of anything." Kagome turned around with much grace and looked carefully around the beautiful chamber. She needed to check if this room was a trap or not, it didn't matter if she was going to be allied with Lord Sesshoumaru, she will not lose her life here.

"Yes, Lady Kagome."

The Princess nodded, "You are dismissed, go and deliver my message and then bring my ward here." Kagome heard behind her the door slid shut. Now, to get things on the line, she didn't go to Lord Sesshoumaru's study for she didn't want to give the Lord the impression that she was desperate for his alliance, if anything, she didn't even want it. She just wanted to end his life, for out of all the people or youkai who she had ever met; she hated him most - probably even more than Naraku.

She never really understood why she hated Naraku, when he should be the one who hates her. Kagome could still remember when she has slaughtered the body of his mate, yet he just stood there, and what annoyed her is she only lust cover his eyes. Or maybe it was the reason that Naraku had rutted with her unfaithful mother, but that couldn't be it for her mother had rutted with many and she felt no need to hate them. Or maybe it was because she knew that he desired her. But many desired her and still she did not like them, but she also did not hate them, in fact, she felt nothing for them.

Kagome's eyes roamed the room to the very detail. The room had no trap or tricks whatsoever. What was the Lord of the West thinking? Was he really considering her alliance, she thought that it would be harder than that, but maybe she was wrong. But for now, she guessed that she will make him wait, she will not go so low as to barged in the Lord of West study and seem so desperate.

Thinking that she should at least change her attire, Kagome walked towards the large sliding door beside the large bed. She slid it open, only to find hundreds of elegant kimonos. She hardly wore kimonos these passing days and she didn't want to do so when in the middle of the war. She felt vulnerable in them. But she guessed that at least these kimonos didn't seem to be like the ones her mother, Kanashi, made her wear. The ones Kanashi made her wear were beautiful kimonos - kimonos that were sure to seduce any man. These were just kimonos that are elegant and showed a high status to whoever who wears them. However, she doubted that she wouldn't be able to seduce any man with them anyway.

She picked up the colour of crimson red, the colour of the obi was dark maroon and the design on the kimono are the flowers known as Crimson Emotions, she knew why it was called that. While humans would drop many flowers into a grave, youkais only dropped the most unique ones. This was the most rear flower of all, for one would be so lucky to see one real one in their whole lifetime.

They were found in the weirdest places, some found in the middle of deserts, some buried in deep snow. There was a legend that you will only find them when you are to die, but Kagome already has seen one, her mother dropped it into her father's grave.

The colour of the flowers are deep crimson, darker than the colour of a red rose, it's petals looked beautifully designed with tips that are pointed The tips does looked harmless, but in truth they are not. The petals protect the flower that any who touches it - youkai and human alike - will get sting. Another reason it was named Crimson Emotions, for like emotions it would seem harmless, but in truth, emotions are the worst killer of all.

After putting the kimono on, Kagome heard a knocked on the door. She expected it to be Kaede and Shippou, but when she had sensed the aura, she knew it to be someone else. For this aura was powerful, almost like Sesshoumaru's, but different.

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

Loud thumps of footsteps could be heard echoing on the floor. Kaede must admit the Princess of the three lands was indeed very intimidating. Though, such beauty could also be use in much more wonderful ways. It was a shame to know that the beauty the Princess held was nothing more than a mask. A mask that Kaede guessed the Princess would remain to use until the Princess would feel any sign of emotion other than the dark ones.

Then as she thought about the orders that the Princess has given her, Kaede noticed that the Princess's voice seem to soften at the mention of her young ward. Kaede silently wondered if the Princess knows of this soft spot. However, Kaede couldn't help to notice that the Princess's voice held so much hate for the Lord of the West and she wondered what have done this. Maybe she should just stay out of the Princess's business, but she could still remember what her dead friend had told her.

Her friend, Midoriko, had told Kaede stories about her time with the Princess of the three lands. Midoriko had said that the Princess was not to what she really seems, that what she has become isn't what she who she really is, that Princess Kagome was this now cold Princess for many reasons. What reason could that has been? She knew of Lord Sesshoumaru's past, but not of the Princess. You see, while Kaede looks over the Prince of the West, Midoriko looks over the Princess. But now, Kaede realized that she will have to do this alone.

Finally arriving at her Lord's door, Kaede slipped it open, when she heard a voice said, "You may enter." It wasn't her Lord's.

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

Inuyasha entered Sesshoumaru's study and smirked when he felt his brother's aura change. He knew that his brother didn't like his company, but it wasn't like he had any choice, he couldn't just barged into the Princess's chambers, could he? So he just went here, it was priceless to annoy his brother anyway.

"What is that you want, hanyou?" The word hanyou sounded as if it was spat.

"Bastard, I just wanted to give you some company." Inuyasha heard an "hn" from his brother, telling him that the arrogant bastard did not believe him. "Fine, to the point then?" He asked, not giving any chance for him to answer. "I felt the Princess's aura around, and I wanted to ask, are we really going to ally with her?"

"That is none of your concern."

"What the hell are you talking about? I'm also part of this family, once you die in battle, I'm going to be the new Lord."

Sesshoumaru lifted his gaze up from his papers to his brother. "You said those words as if I, Sesshoumaru, will die."

"Whatever, I just wanted to fucking ask why are we considering about her." Mumbled the hanyou. "I'm definitely sure that you aren't considering this because you find her that attractive. I mean, you haven't even met her." The hanyou saw Sesshoumaru return his gaze back to the papers., Inuyasha's eyes widened. He couldn't believe, could what Kikyou predicted be true? "You haven't met her, have you?"

The demon Lord closed his eyes, he would not lie and he knew that even how idiotic his brother can get, he would still find out in the end, that he, Sesshoumaru has met the Princess before. It wasn't as if it would change anything anyway. "That is not of your concerns, hanyou."

"Holy shit," the hanyou muttered. His brother didn't say no, and he knew that his brother could not lie, and instead of lying will just say something along to the lines he had just said when the statements are true. "So you have the jewel, then?" Again, Sesshoumaru did not answer. "You do!"

"Quiet, hanyou. I will decide whether to give you or not give you the jewel."

Inuyasha was annoyed beyond belief, but then again he was annoyed very easily, unlike Sesshoumaru. What annoyed Inuyasha is that Sesshoumaru had the jewel all along and yet he didn't tell it to him.

"You know what, I think that you are keeping the jewel because you actually wanted to see her again. Or else, you could have just given it to me with a price."

Sesshoumaru looked directly at the hanyou. "There is nothing that you can give me that is of worth anything, hanyou. As for the Princess, it was not I who decided for her to visit, it was she." He paused, letting the hanyou's head adjust to what is been said. "If you wish to know the Princess, visit her, and leave this Sesshoumaru." The demon Lord merely stood up and grabbed some more papers from another table.

Annoyance ruled Inuyasha's head and he was just about to say something when he was interrupted when the door knocked. Hissing, Inuyasha looked over at Sesshoumaru whose gaze now on the door. "You may enter," said Inuyasha, the annoyance in his voice clear.

The door slid open as both brothers looked down at the old human servant. It was the miko Kaede, Sesshoumaru knew instantly that she is here to bring message from the Princess.

"Well...? Talk already." The hanyou ordered.

The old miko merely looked up to see the demon Lord nod.

"I am here to tell Lord Sesshoumaru that I have been chosen by the Princess of the three lands to be her servant while she stays in this castle." Kaede saw the demon Lord nod at this, but she knew that he was probably a at least a little irritated that the Princess would just come to his castle and start ordering his servants around. "Also Lord Sesshoumaru, the Princess said that she will not visit your study, for she does not wishes so and only will when she wishes to do so will she visit."

If his annoying brother wasn't in the room, Sesshoumaru would have gladly let at least some of his anger showed, but he knew that his brother right now was probably already laughing inside to what the bitch Princess has just said to him and showing his anger, would further make the hanyou happy. How dare the Princess act the way she does? She acts as if they are already allies and as if he actually would not end her life. Sesshoumaru tried his best to calm down. She would get away with that for now...

Inuyasha could only smirked at the words. He could see that his brother was trying to not to make any eye contact right now, for Inuyasha knew that his brother was already angered up inside. Maybe being allied with the Princess wouldn't be so bad. She definitely knew how to anger the Lord, and what is more fun about it is was Sesshoumaru couldn't just kill the princess like the others. He thought about it for a while, if Sesshoumaru had already met the Princess, it would only mean that the Princess survive a battle with Sesshoumaru without being killed, meaning now, Sesshoumaru couldn't just feel nothing for the Princess.

His brother does feel something for her. It didn't matter whatever it was. It didn't matter even if his brother despised her. As long as his brother felt something for her is what counts. And for someone to survive a battle with Sesshoumaru, would be something to be looked up to. This was turning out to be more entertaining than he thought. The hanyou decided that he should after all visit the Princess.

"Tell me, who was the Princess with when she has arrived." Sesshoumaru ordered, he wanted nothing more than just to end the life of which the Princess owned, but not now...not yet.

"She was with her ward, Lord Sesshoumaru." Kaede said, her head still bowed deeply.

"Leave,"

The servant bowed again before opening the door and leaving. Inuyasha turned to look towards his brother and was surprised to find that his brother continued with his work.

"It's amazing..." Complimented Inuyasha. The hanyou watched as his brother turned towards him, rasing a elegant eyebrow as to why the hanyou would compliment him. "You didn't even made your way towards her chambers. She has just defied you in your own lands and has said words that aren't too polite, yet here you are still in your study, making no move to end her life."

"Unlike you brother, I do not act so hastily."

"No, Sesshoumaru this is something more... You killed her father without even thinking, yet you do not end her life?" Inuyasha asked, his voice taunting. "Or is it because you killed her father? Or maybe after that meeting..."

"Hanyou, you will end your foolish nonsense." Sesshoumaru interrupted, annoyed of his brother's accusations. "I tire of your incredibly irritating behaviour. What is amazing little brother is that you are still alive even after of all the shame you represent."

Narrowing his eyes, he glared at the demon Lord. "The hell with you. I'm leaving, how about I talk to your new interest."

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

Inuyasha walked to her chambers. He would meet this Princess and judge her himself. But so far, he was impressed by her ways. If she was as beautiful as they said she is and if she was as powerful, then he should do something that should have been done a long time ago. Take a mate.

It was just there was no right female and he definitely did not want to be with a human. He was already stained with human blood and if he wanted to become a ruler, he needed a powerful demoness, not just some miko turned whore. The Princess of the three lands was the best candidate; she was able to survive a battle with Sesshoumaru, that sure say more than he needed.

He arrived in front of the chambers that were given to her. It was one of the most beautiful guest chambers in the castle, which does say that Sesshoumaru does have a high opinion of her, even as he try to hide it. He knocked, feeling her powerful aura inside the decorated sliding doors.

"Enter," a beautiful seductive voice said.

Sliding the door open, Inuyasha looked around the room and saw no one, but he could definitely feel someone. Then from the corner of the room...she appeared. Her hair was the colour of pure raven black and it cascaded down to her back. Her skin milky and suiting with the kimono she wore. The crimson kimono she wore made showed her curvy figure, making her look like a goddess. But what really enchanted her beauty more so are her beautiful emerald orbs. They were piercing, yet right now, they seemed like the most seductive things in the world. He inhaled the air and smelt the air. She smelled of spring waterfalls and floral flowers.

God, she was beautiful all right. This is when he decided that he would have her at all cost.

Kagome looked directly ahead. She focused her eyes on the hanyou who was exploring her form with his eyes, lust seemingly filling every corner of his eyes. He seemed to be related to Lord Sesshoumaru, his hair the colour of silver, his eyes the colour of gold. With the resemblance she didn't think twice. She smiled seductively. Seducing Lord Sesshoumaru was something she didn't want to and will never do. But she never said about not seducing his brother, Inuyasha.

"Hello..."

END OF CH 5 - A Twisted Fairy Tale

Demon Tenshi: I couldn't think properly this week, you can see... I probably won't be able to update as soon as possible. Give me a few weeks...please? Anyway, a friend of mine, Snoopy lover is reading this story and I am very paranoid on what she has to say. Hear that, Teh Evil or Snoopy lover? I KNOW that you are reading! HAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHA! Anyway, got to go. The more reviews, the sooner I update.

Now for the reviews…

Stoictimer- Another wonderful story? I only have two... I am very happy to now that you enjoyed this story and thank you for the great review. And if you read this chapter, you will find out that Kanashi never had Hatsumaru under any love spell, she just simply seduced him. Kagome already knows of what her mother has done, and also her mother's past life as a concubine and cares no less. Anyway, thanks for the review!

Vi3t Babii- Yes, the characters are very OOC (specially Kagome), but as you read, this story is meant to be that way. Shippou is not as tough, but he is...in some way. Kagome seems like a real bitch, but that's fine. Though, Sesshoumaru's character will never change. And I don't have a clue on how this story will end, but I certainly know it is shorter than my other one. Thanks for the review!

Lyn- I have written more.

Kagome21- Chapter fours last line was kind of something...wasn't it? I totally agree! And I promise to update soon! Thanks for the continuous reviews!

KellyLuvsInu- This is weird... Many people seem to not want me to put the kawaii pervert Miroku and I wonder why? I also like Miroku (mainly cause he is sooo funny) But maybe I'll try...but maybe I should just go with the story line and do what my brain tells me. Thank you for voting and lots of thanks for the review.

Myztical Star- That is sooo sweet! Thanks for reviewing!

KougasGrl1188- Sorry for what though? Long lists of what? Anyway, thank you for reviewing twice! I mean, who's counting? LOL

Windprincess342 (painedheart)- YAY! I finally found out your signed in name! Thanks again for reviewing and also for voting. In this chapter, I haven't added Miroku and Sango. I do agree with you on something there. Miroku and Sango do get me annoyed in some SessKag FanFics for they take up the whole chapter with them... I guess I like FanFics that are straight onto the plot.

Addicted...- LOL! Last chapter was longer, wasn't it? I am sooo glad that you enjoyed it, for I thought many would think it is very boring, as also with this chapter. Thanks for the encouraging review.

Ashley- I try to continue writing as fast as I could, it is just that my real life gets on the way, you know? I wish I could just sit on my computer and type and type, but I guess I can't. I know that keeping people in the edge of their seats makes them lose interest, but I'll try not to make it too long then. Thanks for the cool review!

neverending- It did take me longer to update, didn't it? I'll try my best next time. And I am still not sure about Miroku and Sango, they seem like a bad and a good idea, it's just that I don't want this FanFic to be like the others... Thanks for reviewing again!

Domintsu- Thanks again for reviewing… Well, I don't know what to say other than thank you for being a great supporter!

Teh One- I knew you would act exactly this way, that's why!
