western lands castle
Three young boys stood in the middle of the hall way. Two boys were 8 and the other was 9. They watched as the servants scampered about trying to pack every thing for the visit to the northern lands for the coming together ball. The brothers watched as their mother ran by them with a bundle full of kimonos. After 10 more minutes of watching they finally left. They son arrived at the front hall. There stood their father, Inutaisho lord of the western lands, taking to his advisor. When he saw his children he smiled. With a wave of his hand, the other man was off. Inutaisho would we leaving a few hours before them so that he could chat with lord kurai for a while. " dad why do we have to go?" one of the 8 year olds with silver hair and golden eyes asked. " Now, now Inuyasha. I've told you before. We all have to go so that you can meet all the other lords and their children. Each of you will be marrying one of their daughters one day", he said as he stroked Inuyasha's head. " but father, why must we do this? Can't you wait till we are older?" the oldest boy who looked like Inuyasha asked. " sesshomaru, you must get to know them all. You never know when we may need their help for some thing", the man said and shooed them off before his other son, miroku who had violet eyes and black hair, could complain. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha both looked like him, which he happy for, but miroku looked like his mother. He was glad for that too, but it made him look separate from his brothers and you couldn't tell easily that they were brothers unless both parents were next to them all.
Inutaisho stopped thinking when his advisor came back and ushered him outside and into the carriage. When Inutaisho thought about the meeting his children would have, he only laughed. He had heard the northern princesses were quit the handful. He only wondered what would happen when they and his sons met.
back at the castle
Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and miroku sat on their mother's bed as they listened to her ramble and grab random things for the week long visit. " mama, I don't wanna go see some prissy girls and all the others", Inuyasha complained. " oh Inuyasha, their not prissy. Trust me. If any thing the northern princesses are more like you three", sako( the mom) said. " but don't their mothers teach them to be nothing like a man at all?" a confused miroku asked. " well normally they do, but these girls don't have a mother like you boys do. Theirs died when they were very young so I would not be surprised if they didn't remember her at all", she said she picked them all up and set them on the floor. She then threw in 2 pounds of clothes into the suitcase that the boys were sitting on just a moment before. " now you boys go get ready and fancied up so we can leave", sako said and shooed then out the door.
The boys were finally ready after an hour. It had taken a long amount of time to get Inuyasha ready because he bit the servants hand every time he touched him. Sesshomaru and miroku just shook their heads and wondered how Inuyasha could be such a dolt at such a young age. When Inuyasha had been strapped to a chair and finally dressed they gathered their things and left.
They sat in the carriage for three hours as their mother lectured them on proper behavior. When they finally pulled up to the castle, they saw the servants lined up and a family waiting at the front gate with their father. Sako prayed that things would go over nicely and that no one would be injured this time as she got out and walked down the path way.
