The annual western ball
The day was a busy one as the servants and royal retaniers ran to get things ready for the annual western ball. Jaken had been screaming at the top of his lungs, commanding the lowley servants to scurry away and prepare the festivities for the evening.
"can't you move your feeble legs any faster!" he yelled to one of the servants."look who's talking" the servant muttered and ran away, not wishing to get in trouble.
Jaken rolled his eyes and turned to leave untill he heard low, soft voices whispering in the annual imperial sakura gardens. "hmm i wonder who that could be..." he murmured lowly. Clutching on to his staff of two heads more tighter he slowly crept his way to the scenery.
'I just hope I don't get punished or more suitably caught for evesdropping' he gulped, his pace wasn't as eager and fast as it was a few seconds ago in the hallways.
"Milord my apologies but..." jaken hid behind a old tree, brutelly disgusted as he scanned the fungus spreading over the old rough texture of the bark.
His eyes however caught someone he didn't have permission to meet or boss around. ' oh kami if the lord catches me like this I would bound to be thrown in the snake pits near mount fuji or even worst be exiled....' squeaking a bit, he cursed for his stupity and scurried away like a mouse not wanting to be caught by it's prey.
" Totosai are you certain there isn't a way you could forge me a sword that could bring the living dead back to life with one mighty sweep?" the Inu-no-taisho spoke in his powerful voice.
Totosai scratched the back of his dirty scalp, obviously in thought of the idea. "hmmm let me see here.. a sword that could bring back the dead.. a very interesting and rare idea i havn't heard in a long time, that reminds me the time when...." he trailed of
Inu-no taisho rolled his eyes the old man was definetly losing it, or if not more. He narrowed his eyes he was certain that he had heard an annoying voice some where in the gardens where he was having a 'private' talk with totosai the swordsman.
"but who could it be.." he rubbed his chin his eyes rolling skyward glancing up at the painted blue sky. Totosai looked from his lord to the sky and repeated his actions. His eyes went wide as he took a step back, he inwardly cursed.
' don't tell me that cold hearted bitch, an excuse for a wife- ex wife is coming any second' a tremor slithered through his body like a snake. He glanced upwards and took another step back.
Inutaisho stopped thinking ' aha it was probably Jaken! that dim-witted toad, tries to be sneaky eh... hoping not be caught.. will see oh boy do I have a plan in stored for you...' he grinned giving in a flasy smile. An evil smile.
Totosai paled- even though he is pale, he looked as though someone threw paint all over him. 'what is that dog demon suggesting now...' Inu-no-taisho looked at totasai raising a eyebrow. ' now what else is the matter with this old hooligan'
He watched entertained the least how Totosai took in deep breaths, sweat pouring on his face, eyes twice as wide, he was sure they were about to fall out of there sockets. He held in a laugh. "totosai what seems to be the matter now?" the dog lord asked the forger now usuing his serious tone with him, like he were scolding a guilty young child.
The funny part was that he was none the older then him cnturies different or not even more, shouldn't the old man be scolding him instead of the opposite. But he knew he couldn't he was royality and a great warrior and lord. No one dared to challenge or punish the Inu-no-taisho older or not.
He waited patiently " I-I.... I ummm well umm" Totosai broke through words. What was he to say to the lord obviosuly he couldn't say ' oh milord please forgive me I thought that cold hearted bitch of a wife you have was coming and you know as well as I how scary her temper could be'
No way in the seven hells! hewould probably get killed for speaking so disrespectly and ill of the western lady, she maybe that in his opinion but she was still the demon lord's wife and not to mention the cold prince sesshomaru's mother. If sesshomaru was here he would surly be dead one sweep with those poision claws he inherited from his mother.....that was twice the trouble.
"Totosai do I have to repeat myself, surley you know I don't like doing that it's one of the things that gets my infamous temper going not to mention losing my patient. "
Totosai sighed he rubbed his head and looked back at his 3 eyed cow and then back again in the deep pools of amber looking straight through him. "forgive me milord I didn't mean to do that... I was merely.." he trailed of trying desperatly to find an excuse before he got in deep trouble.
"I was merely thinking about the idea... with the swords.... " he nervoously chuckled. However the lord didn't look so pleased and unfortunlty didn't buy it. There was a low growl that escaped the demon lord, his fists balled nose flaring. "Totosai!" he yelled
"you know I don't appreactie your pity lies, speak the truth or face the wrath of my claws" he hissed. Totosai cowered behind his 3 eyed bull in an amptemed to hide. "okay milord I sha'll speak the very thruth I promise" he whimpered.
Inu-no-taisho growled but calmed down a bit " go on.." he spoke voice as hard as stone, much like sesshomaru's.
" when I saw you look up at the sky I got scared because... beacuse" he chocked out " because I thought that your, umm wife was coming so soon and I well don't feel comfortable in her presence and decided to flee"
There was bitter silenece not even the very air stirred before the Dog demon laughed a powerful laugh so loud it could even compete with the thunder. "Totosai you old bafoon your as worst as Myoga when it comes to fleeing.. and my wife yes she could get very scary when she does not feel like to be in the presence of someone from not her level of class. Though what could I say"
The dog lord looked up at the sky, Totosai shocked yet sad " she is well was my wife you should begrateful she dosn't live here, but up in the very clouds" he pointed. Totosai could only nod being dumbstruck.
" I should be going now milord I don't want to waste your time with my useless blabber" he chuckled " Nonesense I must admitt I have enjoyed your presence Totosai it dosn't really bother me of what you are or what class your from, you have a proof that my dear Izayoi"
"yes milord I truly appreciate it thankyou I have to start my journey back home now thankyou once again" Totosai beamed. Inu-no-taisho only smiled and watched as his old friend soared through the sky with his 3 eyed bull, curioustity got the better of him ' when was his dear 'ex' wife arriving.
There was a sound in the bushes as a dark tall figure stood there eyes locked with Inu-no-taisho.
