Thank you for your reviews on chapter 3!
Inuyasha sat sadly on his bed. This was the last time this room would ever belong to him like it once did. Because come tomorrow he and Sesshomaru would be living in another palace and in another land. The thought scared him endlessly. He would be in another land all alone with only Sesshomaru...
Sesshomaru would surely kill him or find some way to torture him in a way worse then death. Sesshomaru loathed him...and now he even thought that Inuyasha wasn't pure and that he would be intimate (the hanyou blushed at the thought) with anyone. It made his heart squeeze painfully in his chest.
The one he loved more then life itself hated him. He loved him but feared him. He was beautiful but deadly. Kind (not to him) but cruel. A double edged sword to anyone who was around him. But gods did Inuyasha love him.
Whenever he saw Sesshomaru his heart swole up like a balloon. But because Sesshomaru's icy glares and sharp words whenever he was around Inuyasha his heart always shattered like glass.
All he wished for was that Sesshomaru could love him. No, not even love him, he would be happy if Sesshomaru could just bare being in the same room as him without Sesshomaru getting utterly disgusted by the hanyou's presence.
Inuyasha let out a sigh. Life just wasn't fair to hanyou's they were either born extremely hideous or born beautiful and lived alone. That's just how hanyou's lived alone and hated. No matter where a hanyou would go people would hate them and that was common sense to almost everyone. At some point all the servants showed respect to the hanyou maybe some snide remarks behind his back but hence he never heard them he never minded but once he had reached his heat all the younger servants completely changed the males making sexual remarks the females making rude marks to relieve their jealousy.
The hanyou lay on his bed. A tear slipping from his eye. Trickling down his cheek in a sad motion. He didn't want to leave the safety of his father's palace it was the only place where he would be safe. He closed his eyes and let the darkness consume him.
It was late in the night when the inu heard the creak of his bedroom door. Soon after he felt warm arms embrace him. Tears falling onto his cheek. But where soon whipped off. He knew only one who would care enough to hold him in the night and releave him of the nightmares that plagued his mind. Mother.
He shifted slightly to meet her gaze. She had tears streaming down her face.
"I-I..forgive me Inuyasha but when I thought that this would be the last time you would ever live in this palace with us I-I just thought of how you used to always cuddle with me in your sleep and thought once more for old times sake."
He knew his mother was trying to put on a strong face but was failing miserably. He cuddled against her.
"I love you Kaa-san(1)" He said sleepily.
"As do I Yasha-tan(2)" They both knew after Inuyasha turned one hundred (ten in demon years) he hated being called that name because he was a "man" according to his father.
Inuyasha hugged his mother tightly against him. The two fell into a deep slumber. Tears fell from the twos eyes that night while they were asleep.
Inutaisho watched sadly from the hall at his mate and youngest son's sorrow. But this was all for the best. He convinced himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THE NEXT DAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as Inuyasha had awakened everything was blur. He remembered being torn away from his mother and then immediately prepared for the union ceremony. The union ceremony was taking place as soon as the sun set. He knew the sunset was to be within moments.
Inuyasha blinked, his long eyelashes casting shadows under his eyes. He felt like a doll. They had applied so much makeup it felt like a mask. He was told that it wasn't really a lot of makeup and that he was just exaggerating but eye lid makeup, a liner to follow his eyes, The fact that they made his eyelashes hot and then straightened them only to curl the tips, the pink lip stuff they applied and not to mention all that stuff they had done to his hair made him feel like a doll. His hair had been combed out and then heated (much like his eyelashes. They had used a fire demon to blow onto metal rods of different sizes. They each had pairs. When they were deemed safe to use they used both rods to compress his hair and slowly ran it down the length of his hair. Therefor making the skin appear more fine). They had left his down and then embroidered a pink ribbon in his hair, it was used to separate his bangs from the rest of his hair. The ribbon streamed down the side of his face to his shoulders. The first flowers they had used were white flowers, he had never seen them before, and hadn't cared to ask. The second flower used (which was the main attraction of the hair piece) was pink roses. He remembered when he was given them by a Lord from a country where they spoke a language called "English" Inuyasha failed to see the sense in the language. The sentence structure was weird and it was an odd mix of mainly German, Latin, French, and whatever else that was in their area.
He was then dressed in a silk uchikake(3). From the shoulder down the design was white but faded to near the bottom. The sleeves were wide arm kimono style and went to just below the knee. Inuyasha wore a pink obi that darkened to a faint red at its bottom. The piece was completed with a very fine material that appeared translucent over his kimono the only thing that made it known that the material was even there was the pink chrysanthemums the effect that the perfectly sewn chrysanthemums was they were blowing in the wind a few of sewn pedals added to the affect. The covering flowed past his feet and even while he was dragging it, it remained graceful and un scathed how that was he would never know.
At the moment Inuyasha was walking along a path to reach the pagoda. Along the path servants stared in awe at the beauty of the young prince. He continued walking as if he hadn't noticed he was to busy focusing on not tripping and not looking like as much as an idiot as he felt.
When he finally reached the pagoda he was greeted by his father, mother, and Izumi. His mother was in tears whether they were of joy or sadness he did not know but he would assume it was the later. She extended her arms and hugged him in a bone crushing hug, Izanami did the same, Inuyasha's father gave him a pat on the back.
"I'm proud of you." was all he said.
When Inuyasha finally entered the pagoda his eyes met with Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru quickly cast his eyes away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha felt his heart crack but he continued to walk to his very soon-to-be mate. He noticed Sesshomaru was wearing his usual clothing. It was only fitting for the Seme to assert their dominance by wearing their battle armor to the wedding ceremony.
While walking to his seat he hadn't even acknowledged the other Lords and demons in the room. Amongst them sat a very jealous wolf prince. He couldn't believe his Inuyasha was mating with that stoic jerk! He hadn't even told the inu prince how stunningly beautiful he looked. Kouga had to try his best to suppress a growl.
Inuyasha eyes stayed down cast he couldn't look at Sesshomaru why should a beautiful creature such as Sesshomaru even look at him? A hideous and disgusting half breed. Inuyasha had to control himself so he wouldn't cry, would sigh, and he had to smile and look happy.
Whilst this was going on Sesshomaru's eyes were narrowed. He could feel no he could smell the arousal coming of so many of these foolish demons as soon as Inuyasha had entered the room. It angered him that anyone would even dare look even go as far as to imagine improper things of what was now his possession. Possessiveness flashed in his eyes but disappearing as soon as it had appeared.
The two we're brought out of their thoughts when the priest of the ceremony had said "Sesshomaru next Lord of the West, heir to our Lands, Son of Inutaisho and Izumi will you take this half-demon as yours?"
Sesshomaru simply answered 'yes' and left it at that. When Inuyasha had been asked he hesitated for a millisecond before also saying yes. The two had stood receiving many applause. Inuyasha's mother still in tears at the loss of her son. Even Izumi was in tears. Only their father was not crying his face was stoic. Inuyasha remarked to himself that he looked startlingly similar to Sesshomaru with that face.
However his thoughts were interupted by Sesshomaru's tight grip on his arm as Inuyasha was practically dragged to the carriage that would take them to their new home.
Sesshomaru practically tossed the poor boy into the western styled carriage closing the door with a loud thud. From that moment on Inuyasha's life would never be the same.
Just so everyone knows
(1) Kaa-san is the short form of Oka-san meaning mother in japanese.
(2) tan is another form of the word chan its causal but it usually indicates a special closeness like you may act like a little child infront of that person and they will call you "tan" sometimes it's used between lovers but for warning many girls in real life don't like being called this I only used it to show the closeness Inuyasha has for his mother.
(3) an uchikake is a very formal kimono used for traditional japanese weddings.
