Warning: OOC up ahead

Chapter 6: The Betrayal

"She means nothing to me at all. Izayoi is worthless to me and I couldn't care less about her, Father" The words replayed in her head over and over again. Izayoi couldn't believe what she had just heard, all this time Sesshomaru was just playing around with her. These past few months were just a lie! I fell in love with him, I kissed him, and I even slept with him! All because I thought he loved me the same way I loved him. How could I have ever thought that he, a demon, would love a human like me? Izayoi's cheeks were covered in her own dry tears as she went inside her castle…

After Sesshomaru left for his trip, Inutaisho sat in his study still thinking about what his son had told him. Sesshomaru wouldn't take in a human mate, but that excuse about her asking protection for her village was completely preposterous! What does he think I am, an imbecile? Though she was beautiful, maybe I'll pay her a visit sometime. He smirked at the idea of him sharing his bed with Izayoi, a human princess. Though, Inutaisho wondered if Sesshomaru had already slept with her. If that was the case, then he had no right to touch her. But then he remembered his son's words: "Father, how can you say such a thing? I, Sesshomaru, would not go as low as to bed myself with a human." Sesshomaru obviously meant what he said if he said it with such anger. He had no relations with that woman, so Inutaisho can have her and they could have some "fun".

The next day

Izayoi went outside for a walk and was lost in her thoughts. I don't care if he is the Prince of the Western Lands no one has the right to trample all over other people. The way he acts, I would say he's more like the Prince of the Bastards! Izayoi was broken away from her thoughts as she saw a man standing in front of her. Dressed in armor, long silver hair, amber eyes, and an elegant face to top it all off. The same man Sesshomaru had introduced her to, it was his father, Inutaisho. She couldn't help but wonder what was he doing there. "I have no business with you. What are you doing here?"

Inutaisho smirked and walked closer. "I just wanted to ask you a simple question is all. Why were you at my castle?" Izayoi turned away, not wanting to look at him. What was she supposed to say, that she was having a secret affair with his son? She felt ashamed, so she used the same excuse that Sesshomaru had used so he would be able to leave. "I was over there because I wanted protection for my village. Bandits have been attacking quite recently and I wanted the villagers to be safe. What did you think I was there for, Inutaisho-sama?" Izayoi knew what he was thinking. He thinks I was there because I was Sesshomaru's mistress, doesn't he? Now I see the real resemblance between those two! Izayoi turned around to find Inutaisho right in front of her. She hadn't expected him to move so close to her, so she started to back away from him.

It was foolish to try to walk backwards, for she tripped over her kimono. She almost fell to the ground until she felt an arm around her waist. Inutaisho had caught her and pulled her closer to him. Izayoi looked at him and for a moment, she thought it was Sesshomaru holding her. She moved closer to Inutaisho and their lips touched to a kiss. Maybe I can love another; maybe I can love Inutaisho instead of Sesshomaru…

5 months later

Sesshomaru kept walking down the path where he knew he would be home. Soon he started to smell Izayoi's scent, but there was something different about her scent. It was mixed. Her scent has changed, Izayoi is pregnant, so she was right. Now she could really be his mate, nothing could stop him. Although he would have to tell his father that he was lying, but that was something he would not waste his time thinking about. She would have the surprise of her life when she sees him. Though, Sesshomaru had not known what had been happening at the castle since he had been gone. Izayoi had quite recently been made Inutaisho's mate and many demons have heard this news and were appalled. It was quite a surprise for Sesshomaru not to know because this news spread far and wide.

Once he reached the castle, he smelled her scent again. Why is she here? He went through the gates and started following her scent. Izayoi was inside, but where was she? Sesshomaru kept following the scent until he reached his father's room. He looked through the keyhole and his anger was now infinite because of what he saw. Izayoi was pregnant all right, but Inutaisho was kissing and touching her. The worst part was that she was allowing it. Sesshomaru backed away and stared at the door. The only decision he had to make was whether he should break the door down or control his anger. He did neither. He turned away and started walking out. His eyes were changing. Instead of being the mystifying golden orbs they were now crimson, filled with the lust for blood. I fell for her stupid tricks and I degraded myself to no bound! All she wanted was power this entire time! The infant that is in her stomach is not my child; it is my half-brother. Sesshomaru, now outside, disappeared into a ball of light. If you had really good eyes, you could some trees falling down and people screaming "DEMON!" He would not come back, but he did. The night he came back was the night everything changed. (If you saw the 3rd movie, then you would understand this part.)

The waves hit the shore, snow fell to the ground, and a puddle of blood was shown. Inutaisho looked at everything while he was on the cliff and Sesshomaru was behind him. "Father, do you insist on going?"

"Do you intend to stop me, Sesshomaru?"

"I will not stand in your way. However, before you go, you must entrust the swords, Souunga and Tetsusaiga to me." Sesshomaru demanded to his father. He was still behind his father; he did not go up to him. He did not make a single move. "And If I refuse, will you kill me, your own father?" The wind blew more hard as he finished his words. That wouldn't be the real reason I would want to kill you, father. Sesshomaru remained silent; any answer he gave would be the wrong one. He continued to stare at his father.

"Ugh…Do you desire power so much? Why do you seek power, my son?" Inutaisho did not face his son, but continued to look out.

"The path I walk is the way of Supreme Conquest. And it is power that will reveal the way for me." Inutaisho was angered by what his son had said and he lowered his head. "Supreme Conquest? Tell me Sesshomaru, have you someone to protect?" When he finished, the moon began to shine more and the clouds began to cover everything. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at his father's words. "Protect?" All remained silent for a while and the wind blew harder. I did. But you took her away from me.

"The answer is no." He put out his right arm, preparing for an attack. "I, Sesshomaru have no need of such." If Inutaisho had turned around, he could see sadness in his son's eyes. I should kill you now for taking Izayoi away from me and for being the father of her baby. Now the wind grew ferocious and Sesshomaru did not move from his spot as he witnessed his father transforming into dog form. Inutaisho looked out, but did not turn around to see his son once more. He began to run, leaving a trail of blood. As his father left, his words kept ringing in Sesshomaru's ears. "Have you someone to protect?" Sesshomaru still looked at his father until he was out of sight.

"Why would I have any reason to waste my time protecting someone? Ridiculous!" Sesshomaru turned around and started to make his way to the castle. Once he went through the gates, he ordered one of the servants to bring some sake bottles to his father's study. Once he was there he sat down on the chair and the servant brought him the sake bottles, and then left. He opened one and stared at it. "My father is too wounded, he will probably not survive. All hail the new lord of the Western Lands, Sesshomaru." He brought the sake bottle to his lips and started to drink it.

Meanwhile

"The infant's name. The child shall be called Inuyasha." Izayoi gasped and turned her head towards her son. "Inuyasha."

"Now go!" Inutaisho held the Souunga tighter, and did not repeat himself. "Yes." Izayoi turned around and started to run with Inuyasha in her arms. Once she was outside, she looked back and saw the burning building crash to the ground. Inutaisho had never made it out. But she heard him say something to her, something the wind had repeated. "Izayoi, you must have a long life. Live long and well with Inuyasha." She looked at the crying baby in her arms as she held a fang in the palm of her hand. "Inuyasha, I am sorry to say that I do not know who your father is. It could be Inutaisho or Sesshomaru, but there is only one way to find out." She took out the fang that Sesshomaru had given her and tears started to escape from her eyes. Inutaisho had never given her a fang and if Sesshomaru was not the father, then Inuyasha would die. "If it is the wrong one, then I am sorry my love."

Izayoi took the fang and made a cut across Inuyasha's stomach. Inuyasha started to cry louder. "Don't cry, my love. The pain will go away." She could not stop herself from crying and she put the fang inside him. Suddenly, a blue light surrounded him and it grew brighter until the wound healed itself. Inuyasha continued to cry and Izayoi smiled. Sesshomaru is the father of Inuyasha. She turned and started walking back to the castle. Little did she know that Sesshomaru was already there. Once she was inside, she walked through the halls and saw Sesshomaru in his father's study and she entered. "Izayoi, what are you doing here?" Sesshomaru did not stir from seeing Izayoi there.

"My baby had been born." Why the hell is she telling me? "His name is Inuyasha. Would you like to hold your son?" Sesshomaru's eyebrow went up and he stood from his chair.

"My son? That baby in your arms is my son? Do you honestly think I would believe the word of a slut like you, Izayoi!" His words were like a dagger piercing her heart. How could he call her a slut! She did not cry from his words.

"You have no right to call me a slut!" Izayoi yelled this to him, but that only Sesshomaru come with more words. "You're right, Izayoi. You are much worse. You're a demon's whore and that bastard hanyou is the proof of it!" If Inuyasha weren't in her arms, she would have tried to strangle Sesshomaru, forgetting the fact that he could kill her without even trying. "You're drunk, Sesshomaru. I can see the sake bottles on the ground. You don't know what you are saying."

"I know exactly what I'm saying! I thought I loved you and I was waiting for the perfect moment to ask you to be my mate. But you didn't expect me to be back so soon! You wanted my father all that time and you saw the perfect opportunity when I left." Her eyes widened when he finished. "You were here before?"

"When you were still pregnant, I came back and was ready to take you. But when I saw you in my father's room… I can't even say it! It disgusts me. The point is that infant is my half-brother." Izayoi had never felt so heated and heartbroken in her life. What the hell is he talking about? He was the one who said that I meant nothing to him! "No Sesshomaru, you've got it all wrong! You were the one who said..."

"It doesn't matter what you say to me now, my mind is made up! As you know, my father is dead and I am next in line. So as of tonight, I am Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands and whatever I say goes! My father may have allowed you to live here, but I want you out of here tonight. And if I sense you anywhere near my castle, then I will kill my precious hanyou brother Inuyasha." Izayoi couldn't say anything she was speechless. It didn't matter what Sesshomaru had told her, Inuyasha is his son. He won't even let her say anything about the fang. "By the way, if you ever tell Inuyasha that lie of yours, then I will kill him." If Sesshomaru didn't want to recognize Inuyasha as his son, then she would have to tell him that his father died to save them.

"I will say one last thing to you, Sesshomaru. I don't care what you say, Inuyasha is your son and nothing that you or anyone else can do to change that fact. Hope you have a good reign as Lord of Dogs, Sesshomaru!" With that said Izayoi walked out the door and never turned around to have one final look at what she was leaving.
