Revival 6
Sesshomaru POV
"It was a symposium of sorts. That was when father was to show me off. I was about your age, probably the equivalent of a 16 year old boy. According to mother, it wasn't uncommon for princes to be disguised as princesses for protection. But, I later learned that, with demons, it was a bit shameful. He presented me briefly and then sent me off, so the others wouldn't notice I was male. Demons, apparently, can't scent gender, until the they come of age.
I wondered around the outside of the elegant palace, which the gathering took place in. I found a beautiful waterfall, just like this one. I sat down in front of the stream, staring at the waterfall. I heard a voice that sounded like my mother. Some weird ritual about the Goddess Izanami insuring the protection of demon Empresses from their husbands.
Then I heard the beautiful voice of my angel. "
Flashback Omniscient (this is for you, Sesshomaru doesn't even know this part of the story)
"Greetings, prince of the Western Lands."
Sesshomaru stood up abruptly and stumbled on his kimono. He caught himself before falling though. Sesshomaru remembered how his father told him not to speak to 'anyone', so he merely nodded. Then his eye's went wide as he realized that the man called him 'prince'.
The man wasn't much older him, probably 18 in human years. Sesshomaru figured that since the man already knew who he was, he might as well speak. "How did you know?" his voice was already that of a teenage boy. He couldn't even fake a female voice.
"I didn't, but I do now."
"…."
Meanwhile inside the palace (this is just for you, Sesshomaru only mentions it in his story.)
"Ahh, Ryuuzaki-sama, It's a great honor to have such powerful a foreign demon visit us all the way in Japan." Said InuTashio.
" Not so foreign. You know I was born in Asia but married my Western wife. Call it a vacation. The mainland is in distress. The humans are fighting over some mundane religion. They keep killing each other off. This is, of course a good thing for us. However, it's best not to meddle with humans and their religious warfare. We have enough meddling from other demons."
"Of course, I under stand you have a son?" Why did I just say that, when Larika said he never shuts up about his son? InuTashio said and thought.
"Oh, YES! My son Kouta! He's spent much time learning the languages and cultures of the humans. They communicate extensively. I have had no trouble with them. It's called coexistence. He's also a blah blah blah blah. KOUTA, KOUTA! Come tell the lord of the Western Lands about your science vs. magic experiment! Kouta?" The boisterous lord looked around for his son.
"My dear husband, your earsplitting beckoning has interrupted our ceremony." Came the angry snarl of Ryuuzaki's wife, Countess Amalberga.
"My love, where is our son?" he asked.
"I don't know." She said in dismissal as she turned back toward the dark corridor from which she came. "What ceremony?" Ryuuzaki questioned.
"Perhaps I could join you?" InuTashio sounded desperate.
"No! And DON'T follow me! If you knew anything about the Gods Izanami and Izanagi, you know it won't end well." She lowered her voice and then disappeared into the darkness.
Outside the palace
"….." Sesshomaru listened as Kouta explained the Indian mythology. He did not stop talking about the various gods they worshiped. The two had gotten within very close proximity. Sesshomaru, having gotten closer due to curiosity, didn't even notice.
"Humans are such fascinating creatures! Even when they-" (Kouta)
"MY DEAR SON! THERE YOU ARE! TELL LORD INUTASHIO ABOUT YOUR GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS!" Lord Ryuuzaki came running around the corner of the palace, dragging InuTashio with him.
When InuTashio saw the young prince so close to his son, he didn't know how to react, mainly because Ryuuzaki-sama was making everything confusing with his yelling.
"And the Vedas, you have to read the Vedas. They're amazing." Ryuuzaki grabbed his son and tried to pull him towards the lord. Kouta grabbed Sesshomaru's hands "No father, I would rather speak with Sesshomaru about the Vedas. He listens to me." Sesshomaru was on his feet being pulled toward the two men. "I thought her name was Shera?" said the Lord.
At that point InuTashio stepped in and pried the two apart. "Come Shera, it's time to leave." He said as calmly as he could while dragging his son away. "Au revoir, Sesshomaru." Kouta waved.
"WAIT! YOU HAVEN'T HEARD MY SON SPEAK FRENCH!" Ryuuzaki yelled after them.
Once home, InuTashio questioned his son about how the prince knew about him. Sesshomaru replied that he didn't know and swore that he never told him. "I don't want you speaking to that boy anymore. His father is loud and never shuts up. He'll blow your cover.
Sorry this took so long, it was done, but school work made me forget.
