OMG! Look at all those reviews? This was written as a 'I'm bored, let's write something for fun' story. Sigh. I guess that means that I have to keep writing it. (Insert happy face here, since won't let me.)

My bad! Shonen-ai is boyxboy love. Nothing hard core, like yaoi. I am sorry that I didn't explain that enough, but I hope that everyone will give this story a chance still. And just in case, mpreg means 'male pregnancy,' but I put that as a maybe. I don't really know where this story is going, besides the very basic. It makes it more surprising for me and you!

Still do not own, nor will I tell you who the other person is. (Besides Inu-chan puppy. Who so cheated on the pairings! That's okay, I'll still give you a smile and a pat on the back. )

Chapter Two

Don't Panic

Inuyasha paced, high up on his tree, mumbling to himself. He had run there after leaving the village, four hours ago. He vaguely heard Miroku, Sango, Shippou and Kaede when they had shown up, trying to coax him from the safety of his tree. He also vaguely heard them leave after twenty minutes of being ignored. He didn't care. There were bigger matters at hand than hurt feelings.

"Maybe if I…no, that won't work. How about…no, too far away to reach quickly."

He dropped to his knees, clutching his head between his hands. "WHY? Do you hate me that much! I would rather him plotting my death than my marriage." He glared at the scroll, innocently sitting on the branch. "Wait! This is a joke, right? It's probably dipped in poison, and the moment that I open it, I will breathe in the fumes and die. Yes, that must be it. Well, I won't fall for that stupid trick. You hear me!"

He stood there, panting, having jumped to his feet sometime during his rant. The woods were quiet, making it seem like the whole forest was watching him, listening to him, so when it burst into sounds, it seemed like it was laughing at him too.

"Aw, shut up."

He sat down again, arms crossed in front of his chest. Leaning back against the trunk, he closed his eyes and sighed. Now what? He had run away from it, laughed at it, ranted at it, hell, he even ignored it before his ranting. What else was there to do when faced with a challenge? He looked over at his problem, sitting in the sunlight, harmlessly. He snorted. Looks can be deceiving. Carefully reaching over, he grabbed it and held it in front of his face, closely examining it. What to do, what to do…

Don't panic, just breath, in and out. In and out.

He stayed that way for a moment, before giving in. This problem wasn't going to go away. So, steeling himself, he gently opened the scroll, handling it like a wild beast. He stared at the contents, reading it to find out just who it was that 'Fluffy' decided to wed him to. I mean, it can't be that bad, right? The person would have to be approved by the Lord of the West, probably be a full youkai, and good-looking, as Sesshomaru wouldn't want the family name to be dirtied. So, yeah. And besides, no one could be worse than…wait, that's not right, it is? It's a spelling mistake, a, a, blotch of ink that fell to perfectly spell that name, completely by accident, right?

Whimper…

Oh god. It is not a mistake, was it. Inuyasha was going to get married to… he was going to have to marry…

Back in the village, the group had gotten together for a nice supper, discussing the days events, and whether or not Inuyasha would tell them just who it was that he would be marrying, when a loud cry of shock and outrage sounded throughout the village.

INVU

A week ago (just to explain some things)

Sesshomaru walked through the grounds of palace serenely, the young human girl, Rin, running in front of him. The palace was an empty place, a vast difference from when his father reigned over the western lands. There were but a few servants, Jaken, the girl, and himself now. He felt a pang of nostalgia, remembering all the people who used to wander these halls, the servants, guards, visiting nobles...

Family members.

He frowned, thinking about the last thought. Though it was true that his family had greatly diminished, it could be easily rebuilt. Certainly there would be a high ranking female demon for him to mate with. And servants could be hired, as well as guards. Not that he needed them, mind you, but they were a visibly seen mark of power. And being the Lord of the Western Lands, he was a power to be reckoned with, though it seemed that the others had forgotten.

Maybe it was time to show those worthless demons just to whom the power belonged to, and whom to fear. His lands needed a good purging, being left alone for far too long.

Yes, it was time for Sesshomaru to rebuild his empire, his wealth, and his family. A sudden smirk graced his face. He wished for a large family, and he knew exactly where he could get one. Might as well put that worthless mutt of a brother to good use, after all, with Naraku gone, his little brother would be in need of a good challenge. A challenge like raising a family…

"Jaken, I will be in my office for the remainder of the day. Take care of the girl."

The little toad watched as his lord strolled off. "Yes milord."

"Oh, and Jaken."

"Yes?"

"I will be needing some gold ribbon." That being said, he exited from sight, leaving behind a shocked toad, and a confused little girl.

4URAQT

Argh! I keep trying to lengthen this chapter, but it won't work! The next part just won't fit into this chapter, so sorry about the shortness. I will try to put the next one out fast, to make up for it, okay?
