sorry it's been so long everyone! I hope you all enjoy this chapter -- I wrote it, like most of my other ones, wail I was half asleep. Please let me know what you all think ^^
oh! And as you all know, I do not own Inuyasha or any of it's characters. But I do own Rhian, Faolan, and Aqua. Steal them and die a slow, painful death!!
Rhian did the only thing she could do in such a situation. She stared blankly at everyone, then passed out. Weather it was because of her energy loss or the shock of what Sesshomaru had said, no one knew.
"Inuyasha, what did Sesshomaru mean when he asked us to 'stand witness' to his mating with Rhian. He didn't mean that he actually wants us to watch them....well, you know.....right?"
Inuyasha's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "Stop thinking like that pervert monk Kagome! He's talking about the ceremony. Most Demons hold mating ceremonies to show respect to the new family member."
"Oh..."
At her quiet response, he looked at her through the corner of his eye before turning he attention back to what his brother was doing. It was then he noticed the yelling. The young pup named Faolan was bellowing at the top of his lungs as he tried to grab Rhian out of Sesshomaru's arms.
"Aren't you glade I attached a new arm for him now?" Kagome asked slyly, a small smile playing on her lips. Her only answer was a grunt. Rolling her eyes, she turned back to the live show that was playing out in front of them.
The more Faolan yelled, the redder Rin's face turned. After another five minutes of him calling her adopted father vial name, Rin rushed into the hole where they both stood and kicked Faolan in the shin.
"Leave lord Sesshomaru be! It's not his fault Rhian won't mate with you! Just go back to where you belong! I can't believe I even thought you were cute!" at the last part, Rin's eyes widened and her hands covered her mouth.
"You think I'm cute?" was all Faolan said, ignoring the insults she had thrown at him -- a fact which did not go unnoticed by Rin. Growling under her breath, she threw her hands up into the air and went to stand behind Sesshomaru. She also chose to ignore the horrified look Sesshomaru had on his face as he looked from the young wolf demon to herself. "How's Rhian?"
"fine. She just needs to rest for a few days and then we can hold the mating ceremony. As soon as --" Both he, Inuyasha lifted their heads and looked toward the sky.
A demon with curly sliver/blue hair that went down to the small of her back suddenly dropped from the sky. The demon was even shorter then fourteen year old Rin. Her pitch black eyes glanced from Sesshomaru to Rhian. Lifting her small, white hand she gave it a small shack, causing her nails to grow into sharp talons.
"Drop the girl, demon scum, and I might let you live." was all she said, tossing strands of her long hair over her shoulder, a devil-may-care smirk forming on her lips.
"Aqua? Is that you?" at the sound of Faolan's voice, the girl turned to look at him, unable to hide the surprise or pleaser the sight of him brought her.
"Faolan? Is that you boy? By the gods you've gotten big. I remember when you were shorter then me. And how could you let 'Hia get herself into such a mess, hmm? I left her in your care for five days --"
"-- years. It's been five years since you left Aqua." the girl's eyes widened at this. Glancing from him, to Rhian, then up to Sesshomaru, a smile once again tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"And who might you be? Hold on, don't tell me. Long silver hair, crescent moon on forehead, and one of the coldest looks I've ever seen. You must be lord Sesshomaru, of the western lands. Correct?"
Sesshomaru inclined his head slightly, then stated that she had him at a disadvantage. The smile she wore grew to the point that it appeared her face would tare in two. She then shocked everyone by stating that was what how she liked her men.
After a few seconds she rolled her eyes and dropped the smile. "Aqua, of the Sirens. Friend to Rhian. Now, if you will hand her over, I'll get out of your hair."
"No." his refusal didn't sink in for several seconds. But when it did, all hell broke loose.
"What in the seven hells do you mean 'no'? Hand her over! You have no right to do......what ever it is you plan on doing to her!"
"I think I have more right to her then you do since she will soon be my mate -- and don't even think of using your siren voice to make me relinquish my hold on this woman. It will no effect me."
Aqua's eyes widened in shock. The last time she had talked to Rhian, they had talked of the way some demons would claim more then one mate. Which had brought up Rhian's distaste for mating all together. She had said she would never relinquish her life into the hands of a man, no matter what his race, all men were not to be trusted.
Given her history, Aqua couldn't blame her for feeling that way. She didn't even bother giving her 'not all men are scum' talk like she normally did.
"You damned chipmunks! One day I WILL rule the world!!" as Rhian shouted that and jerked slightly in her sleep, everyone looked down at her as if she was deranged.
Her eyes slowly opened, and again she noticed she was too weak to move. The next thing she noticed was that she wasn't on the cold, hard ground any longer. Sighing softly, she burrowed deeper into the warmth and lightly rubber her face against soft cloth.
Three minutes went by before her eyes popped open all the way and she tried to push away from the chest she had been leaning against. "What the HELL do you think your doing?!"
