Lilium: Purity and Darkness
I do not own Inuyasha!
Chapter 2 - Lilium with thorns
The Western Prince bubbled with anger as he hovered over his younger brother's grave site.
" Brother ... Three hundred years have passed since your death " he spoke passively despite his gloom mood. " Father has changed alot. He no longer hates humans. In fact he mated one and now she carries his child. What a complete disgrace to our Blood line" The taiyoukai spat with distaste." How could he lower himself to mate with such a vile and despicable creature! "
" Thats quite enough Sesshomaru! " A familar voice cut in from behind.
" Father " Sesshomaru turned as Inutaisho appeared before him . " It is very unlike you to mask your scent and spy on your own heir ... one would think that only a human would do such a dishonorable thing"
The elder taiyoukai angrily glared at his son.
" I only did it to see how you really felt about me having a hanyou. Tell me why do you hate Izayoi? "
" She's weak and she reaks of human filth "
" You will not speak of your step mother in such a way " Inutaisho ordered. His eyes flashed red.
" She may be Your mate. " The prince whispered with venom. " BUT THAT HUMAN BITCH IS NOT MY MOTHER! " Sesshomaru shouted.
His father stepped closer to him with his claws flexing at his side.
" Sesshomaru ... you will refrain from raising your voice at your superior and submit to the alpha of your pack " Inutaisho firmly demanded.
Sesshomaru felt the elder taiyoukai's anger rising and fought to control his own. His hand reached to touch his sword's sheath that rested at his hip.
" Or what father? Would you really kill your son to defend an inferior creature that probably won't live to be a hundred? I will not be the only one to object to your reckless decision so tell me would you be able to fend off all of them alone? "
The elder Inu inhaled deeply to calm his anger before he opened his eyes, that were once again mellow amber.
" Don't you think I know that pup? This old man can not help whom he falls for " Inutaisho mumbled running a clawed hand through his bangs as if he were trying to rub away the stress.
" I just thought that since you were my son you would support me instead of criticizing me like the others. "
Sesshomaru's golden orbs widened in shock. He also paused before sliding his sword out of its sheath, but just as quick as the emotion came it also left .
" You thought wrong Father, and because of your brash actions I challenge your title as the Alpha."
Inutaisho's eye brows furrowed as he too took out his sword and prepared for battle.
" You've grown so cold Sesshomaru ... Just like your mother. "
Sesshomaru grinned while barring his sharp fangs. " I've always been cold Father, mother has nothing to do with this. " he snarled.
Inutaisho shook his head in disappointment as the Younger taiyoukai charged at him, swinging with the grace he'd taught him.
Inutaisho allowed the fight to continue for a while to save the prince from a wounded pride then quickly put an end to it when he decided he'd had enough.
" One day You will learn that Hate does not give you strength " He told his son as he mercilessly severed his right arm from his body.
Sesshomaru titled his head back and howled in pain as blood sprayed on the clean green grass. He tried to stand, but the blinding pain brought him to his knees.
" This is the first time you have had an appendage removed so you are not used to the pain " Inu taisho explained as he sheathed his sword. " Next time it will not hurt so bad, but if your arm should be removed again it will take years to completely heal "
Sesshomaru panted in pain and gripped his right arm to stop the bleeding.
" Do not worry you will not bleed to death. Your arm will heal before that happens " Inutaisho chuckled as he turned then began to leave.
" This is your punishment for stepping out of line. " His voice echoed through the forrest as he faded from the clearing.
" What a brilliant display of dominance " A feminine voice mused from behind a tree once the elder Inu's aura disappeared.
" The way your blood drippled on the ground left me in awe "
The taiyoukai growled at the bitch who dared to laugh at him.
" Show your self girl " Sesshomaru ordered.
His vision grew blurred as a figure approached him. " As You wish Sesshomaru-sama. " The female mocked him before stopping a few feet away.
The western lord grinned taking her actions as a sign of fear. " What's the matter bitch are you scared of this Sesshomaru?"
" Well as my mother once said never step close to a wounded animal " She spat with venom.
Sesshomaru snarled at her insult.
" That human woman was not your mother. " He declared after recognizing her scent.
" Yeah but she was the closest thing to a mother I ever had. " The girl stated taking a step closer. " Drop your barrier" She demanded.
" I mean you no harm. "
Silence filled the clearing as the Western Prince dropped his barrier, and allowed the girl to get closer to him. He watched cautiously as she knelled before him and inspected his wounds.
Her gentle touch felt hot against his flesh as her unique powers forced the wounds to close. The taiyoukai prince released a shaky breath and leaned his head against the trunk of a tree while allowing her bitter sweet scent to wash over his senses.
Her aura burned against his skin in a pleasant way. He never thought fire could be so invigorating and tender as it engulfed him.
Its flames eating away at his soul.
Sesshomaru opened eyes to find his vision restored and the same little girl that haunted his dreams lying against him. Three hundred years had passed since the two crossed paths and the girl seemed to only have aged to what looks to be a 15 year old teen in human years. She'd become powerful like he'd assumed she would be, her powers containing the strangely addictive combination of purity and darkness.
' A dark miko or some kind of witch perhaps? ' He silently wondered.
His golden eyes examined her closely and found her appearance quiet pleasing. The girl was absolutely gorgeous with her sun-kissed peachy complexion and long waist length raven tresses.Her luscious mounds and curvy frame could be seen clearly through the thin cloth she called clothing which consisted of a Sky blue top that wrapped around her breast then stopped inches above her belly button leaving her arms and stomach uncovered, and matching baggy leggings that rested low on her hips. (( Think of Princess Jasmine's outfit from Aladdin ))
The taiyoukai watched in mild fascination as the girl lowered her lips to kiss his chest then licked away the tiny traces of blood on them.
His curiosity spiked when her chest rumbled causing her to release a noise that sounded like a purr, and her eyes briefly flashed silver.
" Just what are you Girl? " he thought out loud. The raven haired teen ignored his question and scooted closer to place a hand on his upper arm. The taiyoukai tensed at the sudden contact.
" Your arm has already began healing, but I can speed the process." She explained. When his body relaxed she pushed high amounts of her healing power into the wound and used her purifying skills to remove any traces of infection .
After a while Sesshomaru's arm was completely restored and the girl stood to leave only to be pulled down on his lap .
She immediately jerked away and hissed as claws seeped into her skin, her powers rose to fend off the offending appendages.
" Lilium " His smooth masculine voice mumbled. The girl's struggles came to a halt, her head lifted to reveal cold azure orbs full of hate and anger.
"Let me go Sesshomaru! " She ordered sharply. " Do not Touch me "
Despite his emotionless facade the Inu Prince could feel his heart clench once again at the sight of her tears.
" You try so hard to hate me, but is hate really what you feel? " He questioned. His claw traced the moist trail of her tears causing the girl to shutter.
Sensing she would not try to flee he released her and was slightly disappointed when she shifted a few inches away from him.
"You've been following me for the past three days. " Sesshomaru accused. " Why "
" Revenge" Lilium replied dryly.
A small promise from long ago filled his mind at her statement.
I will make your cold heart hate me but love me at the same time
The words replayed inside his head sending off alarms, but the taiyoukai once again ignored them.
" I see " Sesshomaru gazed at his claws. " Thoughs humans of that village meant alot to you? "
The girl remained silent.
I'll emotionally destroy you until the point you wish for Self destruction. That will be my revenge!
Taking her silence as a yes the Western prince shifted his gaze to his brother's grave.
" Those people took something special away from me so I took their lifes in return. " The taiyoukai explained though he felt no regret for what he'd done.
You are not forgiven, but I can not kill you.
" The village was the only home I had since I no family nor a father or mother, and you took that all away from me." Lilum spoke bitterly as their eyes connected.
I could never destroy such gorgeous golden eyes.
The Inu's breath hitched as her azure orbs softened . She looked like a broken goddess full of pain and sorrow.
" Where did you go afterwards? " Sesshomaru asked.
" I had no where else to go so I remained on my own for the most part. Until one day around my 220th year I met a youkai male named Hayate, because he was so loving he took me in and provided shelter for me. "
The taiyoukai noticed the small sparkle in her eye as spoke of the youkai and felt envy bubbling in the pit of his stomach. He suspiciously sniffed the air then growled when his suspicions were confirmed. " You're not innocent. "
The girl shook her head and grinned furthering the T frustration.
" Where is this Hayate you speak of? " Sesshomaru demanded calmly. The taiyoukai did not understand where this sudden streak of possessiveness came from. He only knew that the thought of her with another brought him pain, and damn it he would kill to end this pain. He didn't like it at all.
" Hayate is dead. " She whispered emotionlessly. All traces of jealousy vanished when her eyes flashed silver before returning to azure again.
" I killed him after we made love. " Lilium added.
" Why " Sesshomaru wondered.
" Because I made the mistake of allowing some one into my heart. I don't know who or what I am, but I do know I am dangerous. I took his life to prevent the destruction I might cause if crossed. A being like me should never feel the joy of love. "
He could see pain reflecting in her eyes with each word she spoke.
" Why are you telling me this? And if you should not love then why did you promise to make me love you? "
" You are the only one that can stop me if this destruction should occur. My heart tells me so. " Lilium smiled and placed a hand over her chest.
" Woman you are demented. " The taiyoukai said with a snort. Though he couldn't help the small swell of pride at the thought of being needed.
" Aren't we all " She chuckled before rising. Golden eyes remained glued to her frame as she strolled away. " Know this Taiyoukai... I still have not forgiven you, and I always keep my promises. " Her smooth voice warned before she vanished.
Sesshomaru sighed and glanced to the sky for the first time noticing it was night.
" A true Unusual Lilium with thorns you are Miko of darkness, you are far more exciting than a simple overrated rose could ever be. "
