For reviews!! U GUYS ROCK MY SOCKS OFF!!!!

Inuyasha's eyes opened, crusted with sand. Immediately he felt pain rush through his body. A painful sting along his back. He groaned once more. Trying to relieve the pain he turned his body to the sighed and groaned once more. Every movement he made was painful.

"Mistress?" Mistress? he thought to himself who in hells name was that? "I'm sorry I could not get you any herbs to ward off the poison for I could not get permission from the Lord...but if it pains you so I will go right away and ask the Lord for his permission." The girl had a hidden conviction in her voice. Inuyasha liked this girl.

The young lad tried to sit up to see who was talking to him but was pushed back down. While she was doing that he was able to see her she was a panther demon. He was sure of it. And strikingly beautiful, if he may add.

"Mistress it is best you rest." Again with the Mistress thing? This servant not know he was a MALE, A BOY, last he had checked he did have a penis.

"You are aware I am a male are you not?" Inuyasha asked now staring at the girl (or the best he could laying down).

"Yes, I am well aware."

"Then why do you refer to me as Mistress?" He asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"...I am your first Lady...so I thought it was only fit...I never thought that you would not like that...does it displease you Master?" 'Master' Inuyasha marvelled at the title he had never been called master. Nor prince by servants he was always insulted to or behind his back. He was never able to tell his father of this for his father would think he was weak. Just like everyone else expected. So he stayed silent for his whole life.

"I prefer that title." Inuyasha stated in a kind voice, adding a smile and soon wincing for it even was painful to smile. Sango's calculative eyes had caught the movement.

"Master are you in pain? I can go and converse with the Lord about this..." Inuyasha's eyes widened in fear.

"NO!" he yelled it came out aggresive. "...I mean no...do not disturb my Lord with such trivial manners." He said smiling again. This time he was careful to not wince or show any pain. However he could not hide the pain in his eyes.

"Master you are not trivial!" Sango yelled with conviction.

"...Such as simple matter as the Lord's unmarked hanyou 'mate' are not important." Sango shifted her eyes to side. She was clearly uncomfortable at the turn in discussion. She knew he was unmarked she knew he was unmarked. When she had undressed him and cleaned his wounds she had noticed that he didn't have one. However his body did give of a strong scent of blood and sex..."I'm sorry I must have made you uncomfortable...forgive me for my inconsiderate actions towards you." Swinging his legs over the bed painfully, he bowed as well as he could. His wound on his back screamed in pain. His eyes became glassy. But he ignored it.

Sango just stood shocked at his actions. He born of royal blood was bowing to her.

"Master! Please! I am not worth you going through pain!" However Inuyasha stayed in position. When he did raise himself once more Sango could see the tears evident in his eyes refusing to spill over.

This boy, was something she had never seen before. So kind even though he was royal, he gave of a feel that was warm and could melt hearts nothing like the Lord of this castle. He was cold uncaring and cruel.

Just then a dark haired demon boy with warm brown eyes and cute freckles burst through the doors. Inuyasha would guess the boy was around eight years of age. The little boys chest was heaving. When he noticed that both Inuyasha and Sango were staring at him he stood as straight as he could his whole body quivering, even his tail. He gulped and bowed.

"Uh...Umm" the boy started fidgeting, bowing to Inuyasha. Sango let out a sigh.

"Forgive my brother Master Inuyasha...he is...shy." Sango said exasperatedly.

"I'm not!" Inuyasha heard the boy whisper harshly.

"And what might your name be brother of my first Lady who's name is?"

"Sango...Sango Sasaki....Master" Sango bowed low.

"Um...I'm...a Kohaku Sasaki.." Kohaku stuttered bowing as well.

"The pleasure is all mine" Inuyasha smiled brilliantly. Causing Kohaku to blush and hide behind Sango, causing her to let out another exasperated sigh. "May I ask why you are here Kohaku-san?"

"Umm....ah...The-The Lord requests your presence at high noon." Kohaku said bowing again. 'Must be a habit' Inuyasha thought to himself. Then the words hit him. His eyes widened.

Sesshomaru wanted to see him. What would he do now? He didn't want the previous nights events to repeat themselves. Inuyasha started hyperventilating his body was in utter turmoil. Hot tears made there way down his cheeks.

Sango ushered Kohaku away silently and held the boy in her arms. He was still young and children often enjoyed being hugged by their mothers when they were worried. She wasn't his mother but maybe it would help him. She ran her hair through his silvery locks. Of course she knew this was utterly dis-respective. But if this would help her Mis-Master she would do it to please him.

Many moments passed until she was sure that her Master was calm and collected.

"Thank you" he whispered quietly.

"Anything to please the Master" Sango smiled. Inuyasha smiled back. "Master it is almost high noon now so should I prepare a bath and get you prepared?" Inuyasha sighed. Nodding his head.

Sango had helped the boy to stand and led the boy to the bathing area. She had to make a choice between taking the boy to the indoor bath or the springs. Deciding on the healing springs.

When they reached the healing springs Inuyasha gasped. The healing spring had aqua coloured water with bubbles emanating from the spring. It gave of a smell similar to mint also similar to green tea. Inuyasha breathed in the scent. Delightful.

When Inuyasha was fully in the spring he expected his back to hurt but instead no pain emanated in fact his back felt soothed. Somehow the water felt warm but not hot, it felt like cooling sensations met his wounds. Inuyasha leaned into the bath humming a lullaby his mother always sung to him when he was young as Sango washed his hair of all grime (although she had previously done so before but Inuyasha didn't seem to be aware of how long he had slept). Sango swayed slightly at Inuyasha's humming his voice was so pure. Something she had never heard before in a singing voice pure, innocent, and beautiful. Much like the boy himself was.

When Inuyasha's bath was done the boy was rushed back to his chambers where he was dressed in a amber colored kimono with design of deeper colored roses. Inuyasha's hair was done in a plait with the braid at middle of his head, the rest of his hair flowed freely at the back. The sides of his hair were pinned with flower ornaments.

Sango applied his make up next using blush on his naturally pink cheeks. A light coloured kohl was applied Sango then added a light brown and light brown lining the rims of his eyes. And curling his already bushy eye lashes.

She then finished the look by putting a necklace on the boys neck. When all was done Sango let out a breath. She looked at the boy to see her handy work.

"Beautiful." She gasped. Inuyasha flushed. 'I'm supposed to be handsome.' he thought bitterly to himself.

He didn't have long to dwell on it because he was rushed out and sent to his Sire's work office.

When Inuyasha entered he wasn't happy with what he saw. There were two very voluptuous female demons. Clinging to Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru did not seemed bothered in the slightest. Inuyasha resisted the urge to growl. The two females glanced at him from the corner of their eyes and proceeded to rubbing themselves or caressing Sesshomaru's body. Inuyasha lowered his head. His eyes looked glassy. But he wouldn't cry. He wouldn't cry because he was forced to marry his heartless brother, he wouldn't cry because he loved this cold man, he wouldn't cry because Sesshomaru would cheat on him.

Inuyasha bit his lip bruising it in the process.

"My Lord required my presence?"

"Yes, This is Eriru and Niala they both respective princesses who have come to grant alliances with our clan. They ask that you give them a tour of the palace." The two giggled when Sesshomaru spoke. Inuyasha could tell that one was a rabbit demon, typically they were very shy and resserved demons. 'Guess this is that exception to the rule.' Inuyasha thought grimly. She had pale yellow hair and brown eyes but her clothes covered nothing. The other demon was a frog demon her skin was a greenish hue, her hair blue, and her eyes were pink. She was wearing a very low cut kimono, that Inuyasha would never consider to be called appropriate when in the presence of another. But somehow she was gorgeous infact they both were. And because of this Inuyasha's self esteem took a nose dive, as well as his trust in Sesshomaru 'faithfulness', not that he had much to begin with, but it made his heart constrict painfully.

"Of course my Lord." What was the point in refusing? He had to make the best of his situation. Who knew if he could avoid making Sesshomaru hate him more perhaps this marriage wouldn't be as bad as he thought?

The females walked towards the hanyou. The three bowed to Sesshomaru before leaving the room.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&sometime later&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"And this is a portrait of our father defeating Ryokotsei." The females weren't paying attention he giggling about rumors. Rumors even he knew were lies. Inuyasha ignored them and continued the tour.

"You know what? My feat are sore just lead me to my bed chambers." The frog whined.

"Yeah you are SO boring! No wonder Lord Sesshomaru doesn't want you." The rabbit said with a sneer. The frog snickered.

"Who in hells name even would? Your an ugly hanyou your disgusting you know that right?" The frog laughed. Inuyasha wondered that himself. Who would want him?

"Oh! I know! You should just do everyone a favor and kill yourself!" The frog nodded agreeing with the rabbit.

"Save us all and Sesshomaru the trouble of having to deal with such a disgusting creature." Inuyasha continued walking saying nothing. There insults stung because they were things he had already thought of doing himself. But the faster he led them to their chambers the faster he would be rid of their vial presence.

"Hey are you even listening!" The rabbit screeched.

"You bitch you aren't are you!" The frog yelled. She grabbed one of the palace (which happened to be a vase) and threw it at Inuyasha's face. He hadn't expected the impact. The vase knocked him into the other wall and smashed onto the floor. Leaving spiky pieces of porcelain against the floor. Inuyasha did yelp or even make a sound though. He wouldn't encourage these demons. The rabbit demon grabbed a jagged piece of porcelian and started scratching it against his face.

"You think your pretty don't you?" She cut his cheek deep. "DON'T YOU, YOU STUPID BITCH!" The frog tugged Inuyasha's hair roughly. But Inyasha knew he could not fight back for that would ruin the alliance grant and it would be all his fault. If that happened Sesshomaru would hate Inuyasha even more then he already did and Inuyasha didn't know how well he could handle that. "SAY SOMETHING!" The rabbit yelled slamming him into the wall.

His wounds on his back screamed in protest. The frog continued to tug his hair and then a sinister look entered her eyes. She grabbed one jagged piece of porcelian and slashed Inuyasha's hair. Inuyasha saw his silver lochs fall. His eyes widened.

"Oh did that get a reaction?" The frog giggled. The rabbit saw this and start slashing his hair as well. When they were satisfied they both got up. Laughing they said.

"You deserve it half-breed just be glad you got of lucky because we decided to be kind today." The linked arms and walked off.

Inuyasha waited until they had walked a curve of the hall. He grasped some of his fallen lochs. The boy shut his eyes. He picked up the broken vase pieces. Some stained with his blood. He would have to take responsibility to clean them, cutting his hands in the process.

Inuyasha stood with the strength he had. And walked to his bed chambers. When he reached the room he went to the corner of the room. In the corner was a flute, a flute Inuyasha had, had since he was a small pup when his parents learned of his passion for the instrument. They had gotten Inuyasha the best players across the country to teach him. But since he had been in this castle Inuyasha had not had any lessons. And Inuyasha had heard Sesshomaru say to one of his servants during their engagement that he did not intend on having Inuyasha have more lessons. He could play it wasn't necessary for him to improve.

Inuyasha was sad he wouldn't be able to have lessons but he knew that he could teach himself to play songs if he didn't know how to already he probably knew hundreds of songs to play.

Inuyasha put the mouth piece and started to play one of his favorite songs. (Ocarina zelda's lullaby flute)

His eyes closed as all his emotions flowed into the flutes keys. He imagined the happiness he had once felt. Being with his mother and father. When he wasn't with Sesshomaru. How his heart felt when he had loved Sesshomaru from afar. And now the life he had.

When the song drifted to a close Inuyasha proceded to play another song. (My heart will go on flute version).

His heart and soul pouring into the song he was playing. What he didn't realize was his playing was drawing attention. Servants who were passing by or heard the melody stood by the doors to hear the his song.

The second piece was longer then the first, just as beautiful. But also just as sad. It brought tears to the servants eyes. Sango seeing the crowd at her Master's door went to see the what the commotion was about and then heard the sad keys. Her eyes grew wet and she was lost in the melody.

Inuyasha felt tears fall down his cheeks as he continued to play. Was he really so horrid of a creature that he was doomed to sadness? To unhappiness in his life.

When the song drifted to a close, Sango shooed everyone else off. And open the doors shocked to what she saw. Inuyasha was crying. His hair was horribly uneven. Some of it being to his shoulders. Some just above his ears.

Blood through his clothing. His face was swollen and make up smudged. How the boy was still beautiful in this state was surprising. Sango went to the boy and hugged him tightly. She knew this was out of her bounds but she couldn't stand to see the boy in such a horrid state without comfort.

Inuyasha clung to the girl and cried and sobbed until his eyes were dry of tears and his throat was raw. And for once in a long time Sango was happy she was no longer royalty.

&&&&&&&&&& some hours later&&&&&&

Since Inuyasha's break down Sango cut his hair evenly. It was now short just to his ears. The only hair that wasn't that short was the side bangs Inuyasha adorned that were shoulder length. Sango and Inuyasha new that his hair would grow back within a few weeks maybe even days. Because demons did regenerate fast. She had also washed him and re-applied his make up.

At the moment Inuyasha was on his bed waiting to be called upon by Sesshomaru and punished.

At that moment Sesshomaru walked into his chambers. He was furious. Inuyasha knew him well enough to know that even though his face showed no emotion.

"Why did you not return to my office after you gave the females a tour?" Sesshomaru spat.

"I'm sorry my Lord I was not aware." Sesshomaru noticed the difference in Inuyasha's band and quirked an eyebrow saying nothing.

"Remove your clothing filth."

Inuyasha closed his eyes and prepared for what was now becoming a regular occurrence. Sesshomaru plunged into the boys depths. Inuyasha bit his lip to avoid screaming, drawing blood. Yes, a regular occurrence.

Inuyasha plays flute*INSERT GASP HERE* lol and yes I did use "My Heart Will Go On" but the flute version of the song is beautiful so I chose that for this chapter. :P TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOLKS XDDD
