I do not own any of the anime or other real world things that I may use in this fanfiction. I do not make money by writing this.

Well I started to write a novel for NaNoWriMo...and ended up hurting myself. After a good day of typing to get ahead I hurt my wrist and under orders from my mother not to type for hours on end. I may be twenty-four and the woman may be six inches shorter than me, but she still scares me. It must be implanted in me from my childhood. So I gave up on my novel and started to work out how to I wanted for finish this.

And thank you Rain Gunji, my old writing partner for letting me bounce ideas off you once more. Even if you didn't want me to go into any yaoi details.

Chapter 11

Darktan set in his cell waiting for the blade that would take his head. This was the Makai, there would be no formal trail. He had confessed to a cardinal lord while in the presence of the heir of another. Yes he was drugged at the time, but such a drug would not get him any reprieve. He would be cut down for his crime. He was a traitor, and they all knew it. The rat youkai had done it because he believed that a Benefactor would grant him the Western Lands if the Lord was to fall. The youkai knew now he was a fool. He should have planned out everything better. Not gotten caught, not fallen for that cheap trick from that human bodied kitsune.

He was going to die.

o.O

Rin was speaking with a solider about the up and coming mission as Bufan watched on. He could not remember a woman that drew him in as much as this little human did. When she was but a child, she would wait at the gate for him dressed in a kimono with dragons and flowers in her hand. They were fresh, like she knew just the minute he would be landing outside the Western Cathedral. He remembers being completely intrigued by this little scrap of a human. The ward of the Western Lord was a one of a kind creature. The soft smile that caressed his face was proof enough how much he loved the little girl that turned into a wonderful woman.

When they first mated, it made him, Bufan uv Tnykuh, (1) the happiest that a male could be. She came to him, as she did ever time she needed help with being Lady of the Western Lands. But this time was different. This time she came to him with questions about mating. Apparently the lesser lords of the West were starting to push her to find a mate. She did not know much about the process and wasn't sure she should even take a mate. Rin knew beyond any doubt that Sesshomaru and Hiei would return to reclaim their title and lands from her. She was just sitting in.

The dragon lord pulled the young woman into his arms. "You don't have to mate if you don't choose to."

"Yeah, look at you. How old are you again?"

Oh that had been kind of a low blow. Pulling away the dragon lord looked the woman-child in the eye. "Dragons are a bit different my dear little brat."

She smiled up at him with those brown eyes so filled with wisdom it was hard to determine if she was really only a few decades old or not. Reaching up she placed both hands on each side of his face and pulled him down to eye level. "Dragon Lord, you are a bit stupid."

She kissed him. And he was hooked. They courted for a very short amount of time. She had no male family members for him to ask permission from, so he asked her what she wanted. The girl was smart and knew what she wanted, even back when women were to be seen not heard.

"Bufan-sama, don't you see? I want you."

That was all it took for the greedy dragon to fall into instinct and claim Rin as his own.

O.o

Hiei was breathless, he was sweating, and he was unsure how they got into this position. They were twisted together in every way possible. Their legs were folded together and their arms were around each other. Pulling away to look his lover in the face caused him to pull the long sliver locks because even their hair was twisted together.

"We seem to be stuck at the moment."

"Hn," Hiei replied, not happy that they were laying on the dojo's floor, fully clothed. (2)

They had been sparing, training in case this unnamed Benefactor put up a fight during the mission to capture them. Hiei would be leading a task force, claiming that they took out Sesshomaru. The word would be easily spread that the Western Daiyoukai had killed. Rin, as Queen of the Makai would make the announcement for the group, crying and mourning. The task force would go and claim their prize only to capture Benefactor, as the unknown person was called. (3)

Sesshomaru's claws started to work his hair free from Hiei's. "As long as you do not end up like this with another, I say you should be ready for this mission."

"I should hope that I never end up this way during a fight again." Hiei replied to his lover with a glare. Even for the dark youkai, that didn't care what anyone thought of him, this was embarrassing.

Once free, Sesshomaru finally pulled away from the shorter youkai and set up. "Understood. Do you think your team will be ready soon?"

Hiei nodded to his lover, crossing his legs into a lotus position. As their spar was over he was going to relax his body and talk with his mate while given the chance. Yes, he had no doubt that he would make it back to the castle, but with a prisoner like Benefactor there was no telling how much alone time they would have when he did return from his up and coming mission. "I believe we picked a good team."

"Yusuke, wanted to go too." Kurama said walking into the dojo. "But I don't know if that would be a good idea. He's too widely known because of the tournament, so I talked him out of signing up. But I will be ready to go when you need me to."

"Fox," Hiei greeted the other male as both he and Sesshomaru stood to meet him. "And he did not talk you out of it?"

"No, he said something alone the lines of at least one of us got to go." Kurama stood before the lords of the West. "So it will be Hiei, the two female generals, myself and who?"

"And me." All three males turned to see Bufan standing at the entrance that Kurama just walked through. The tall, blue haired male dragon walked toward the group that was gathering farther in dojo. "The world knows of a dragon's greed. I just gave up half of my territory and it would be believable that I would want it back. Even if that means killing an old ally."

End Chapter

1. Bufan uv Tnykuh is Bufan's full dragon name. I don't remember what it means, if anything, but it makes him sound real lord-like.

2. I had to. Do not worry, before this fic is done, I will have a PWP lemon chapter for all my readers to enjoy. I will work hard on it.

3. Until I finally named them, in my notes for this fanfiction I referred our villain as Benefactor.

Well I wrote pretty much this whole chapter in one day. Who knows I may just be able to get another one out by Christmas...yeah I doubt it.

Well thank you for reading, and if you so choose to review it is so easy with the box at the bottom of the chapter. I would love to hear from you...even if it is a simple hello. I accept question, comments, flames, and cookies.

Until next chapter.
